Parents left to grapple with manslaughter verdict
Students articulate animal rights emotions in words
Kathy Michaels CAPITAL NEWS
Jean and Terry Cusworth offered the picture of strength throughout the trial that put a microscope on the grisly details of their daughter Jennifer Cusworth’s 1993 killing. But when a jury of 12 delivered a manslaughter verdict against the accused, Neil Snelson, last Thursday, that image was all but upended. “I was a bloody mess yesterday,” said Jennifer’s mother, Jean Cusworth, last Friday morning. “In the room (where the family gathered after the verdict), I just dissolved.” She’d been convinced the jury would see what she had since 2009 when Snelson was arrested. The man who “smiled, blew kisses and joked” before each day of his trial was in her eyes guilty of first degree murder. “I’m extremely disappointed in the verdict…I believe the jury did the best they could, but I believe their efforts fell short of the justice Jennifer deserved,” she said. For Terry Cusworth, the matter was less cut and dry. He wasn’t as sure Snelson was involved with the killing of his daughter until he saw him take the stand in his own defence. “It was when he started to give his opinion…it was the way he wouldn’t answer questions,” said Terry. “I couldn’t see how he’d been involved with Jennifer… and see the pole, not her top.” Snelson, in both a conversation with police before his 2009 arrest and when he took the stand in his own defence, noted where his truck parked at the party he and Jennifer had attended 18 years earlier. When he opened the door, Snelson testified, the passenger side door hit a pole. It was called out by Crown counsel Iain Currie as an unusual observation, considering Snelson couldn’t drum up a single memory of Jennifer. Not her height, hair or clothing—all of which made her a stand-out.

PILOT PROJECT…The City of Kelowna has joined forces with Syn Lawn to place
synthetic grass on city street boulevards, the first attempt at this being near the intersection of Gordon and Bernard. The idea is the street meridians can still be made to look attractive while being maintenance free compared to using real grass.
Six students from the faculty of creative and critical studies at UBC Okanagan have released a 40-page magazine called Regardless: The Animal in Question. The magazine features a collection of essays, artwork and creative writing that challenge the way society thinks about animals. Contributors gathered late last week to share excerpts from the publication. In March 2011, reports came out of plans to open an animal testing facility on the UBCO campus. Lindsay Diehl, spokeswoman for the student group, said that students have had a difficult time trying to get any sort of information about the new facility. “The response has been basically to stonewall anyone asking questions in a really dismissive manner, sort of implying that (they) are untrustSee Emotions A9

Founded in 2011 after the success of the 2010 BreakOut West Festival/ Western Canadian Music Awards, the inaugural Pop Okanagan Festival will see a return to grassroots. This year is promising to show the best in up and coming independent music in Western Canada, say organizers. Pop Okanagan Festival is a three-day music festival from Oct. 13, to Oct. 15, in downtown Kelowna. POP Okanagan will showcase more than 60 musical artists at eight venues. A three-day pass costing $35 will offer the opportunity to get into every venue over the course of the three-day festival. Organizers sat the streets of downtown Kelowna will be alive with musicians trying to catch each other’s sets, industry professionals catching up with old friends, and—of course—music.
The eight venues to take in all the music and entertainment will be Doc Willoughby’s, Fernando’s Taqueria, The Grateful Fed, Habitat, Memphis Blues, O’Flannigans, Sapphire, and Streaming Cafe. The artists performing will include The Dudes, Five Alarm Funk, Knight Riderz, 41st and Home, The Boom Booms, Bucknife, Calum Hughes, The Capers, Dan Oig, Dominique Fricot, The Flu, Goodnight Grace, ROCOCODE, The Ruffled Feathers, Thomas Kjorven, Watasun, Windborn & Zaac Pick.

Jennifer’s hair was voluminous, curly and auburn, and it added a couple of inches to five-footten frame. As for her clothes, she was wearing a bright animal print top that was so loud, that it warranted comment from several witnesses. The disparity in observation, argued Currie, was just one of several indicators of Snelson’s dishonesty. Perhaps, said Terry, the jury would have seen what he did if previous criminal convictions had been revealed in the trial. “It was hidden well,” said Terry. “It’s his past.” The secret in Snelson’s past, which was not allowed to be heard by the jury during the trial, was that he was on probation for a sexual offence when he encountered Cusworth. In Penticton in 1992, Snelson exposed himself to a woman and although he pleaded not guilty, a judge convicted him of indecent exposure in the summer of 1993 and put him on probation. That conviction was predated by another in 1987. At that time, a 21year-old Snelson was caught for exposing himself twice to one woman. The woman was walking with a girlfriend along Lake Avenue when
DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
JEAN AND TERRY CUSWORTH, parents of murder victim Jennifer Cusworth, spoke to the media on Friday about their feelings on the manslaughter conviction against Neil Snelson for the slaying of their daughter. she saw him touching himself in his pick-up. Three weeks later the woman was walking alone in the same area when the same truck approached her. Snelson got out of his truck and continued to expose himself. The woman recorded his licence plate and reported the information to police. When it went to court, Snelson was convicted and put on probation. Since 1993, Snelson didn’t accrue more charg-
es, but during his pre-trial, evidence that his predilection for unusual public behaviour persisted. On May 21, 2009, when police were trying to get a sample of Snelson’s DNA, they observed him sitting in his vehicle at the Orchard Park Shopping Centre. Investigators went up to the window for a closer look, only to see Snelson touching himself. That evidence wasn’t allowed in the trial either, but Jean agreed with Terry that it would have
painted a clearer picture of the accused. “What he did to Jennifer is an escalation of what he’s already been doing,” Jean said. With a dissatisfying verdict to contend with, Jean said the next issue she’ll be tackling is the sentencing. Manslaughter offers the most wide-ranging sentencing in the legal system, and it can come with anything from a suspended sentence to life in prison. The latter is rare, but
Jean is determined. Meantime, she’ll take a small amount of satisfaction in the limited victory she gained. At the annual roadside ceremony, where the family puts carnations down at the Swamp Road site Jennifer, 19, was found Oct. 17, 1993, Jean had a message she’d been waiting a long time to give. “Baby we did it,” she said. “We wanted more justice. But it’s a start.” kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ PARENTING
Author to offer insights on raising boys Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Take one look at Diane Oorebeek’s son Owen literally climbing the walls and one can see where a little parenting advice might have seemed like a good idea. When the youngster was in preschool, she received an email about
Barry MacDonald, an author, teacher and counsellor who specializes in boys and decided to attend. “It was definitely very informative. It just looked at how, in general, boys look at things very differently from the way girls, and moms, do,” she said. Where women might use 2,100 words in an
average day, men might typically use 700, she learned, so Oorebeek started adjusting her requests to use fewer words. “Rather than saying put on your shoes I’ve been waiting for…and going into a long explanation, it’s better to just say ‘shoes,’” she learned. She also discovered boys are far more prone to
fidgeting and that fidgeting is likely helping their brain function normally, so asking them to stop moving and pay attention is somewhat counterintuitive. Oorebeek, now part of the Bankhead Elementary School Parent Advisory Council, is helping to bring MacDonald in to speak in order for other
parents to learn the things she has. “I have seen him several times,” she said. “Each time my sons are at different ages, so I take something else from it.” To learn more about MacDonald, parents can go to www.mentoringboys.com. His talk will be held Wednesday, Oct. 26, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Kelowna Community Theatre and is being hosted by the Bankhead Elementary School PAC.

Learning more about our local mushrooms Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Recent wet weather has caused a wide variety of different mushrooms to pop up out of the ground—almost overnight. Big ones and little ones, brown ones and reddish ones, and in all sorts of shapes, it’s not easy to tell the good guys from the bad guys without some training. If you have a curiousity about mushrooms, the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club has just the outing for you. Learn about some of the characteristics that help identify the edible mushrooms and the poisonous ones from UBCO mycologist Dan Durall and some of his graduate students during an expedition to the diverse cedar hemlock forest of Trinity Valley in the Mabel and Sugar Lake areas near Lumby. That forest type supports a rich variety of mushrooms, he said. The group will visit two or three different sites and then take the collection to the Lumby Hall to display and discuss them in the afternoon. Durall admits you can’t learn all about identifying mushrooms in a single day, but he will talk about the importance of noting such characteristics as gill colour, spore colour, the base shape, dots on the cap, whether it’s attached to the stipe, and about the language that’s used to describe mushroom parts. At the lab, he says they can also identify additional characteristics of mushroom under a microscope. It’s important when mushroom hunting that you take good notes be-

DR. DAN DURALL holds samples of fungi from our local area picked by students at UBCO. Durall has planned a field trip for the public on mushrooms. cause even in a day the colour or shape of it might have changed, he noted. While on the outing, he and his students will point out key mushrooms that are common here such as the lobster mushroom, white chanterelles and others. “There’s a huge amount to learn. Some are edible and in some genus you can get others that are deadly. It can be confusing,” he admitted. Some mushrooms start out like an egg, then push out of the sac, and there are portions of the “veil” remaining. The colour of spores is a key identification factor. How to collect mushrooms will also be discussed. “Don’t put them in a plastic bag. Use foil or a paper bag,” he advised. Anyone interested about fungi are welcome to join the outing led by Durall.
They will meet at the EECO (Mission Creek Regional Park) at 8 a.m. to carpool to Lumby. Bring a bag lunch, wear appropriate outdoors clothing and bring collecting bags or baskets. Fabric bags with rigid bottoms are fine, but not plastic. Rolls of waxed paper or foil are also useful. The cost is $10 for insurance, hall rental and an honorarium for the students.
COs searching for elk poachers Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
If you have information about an illegal elk that was shot in the Ratnip Lake area, northeast of Chute Lake, on Sept. 11, conservation officers would appreciate a call. Conservation officer Ed Seitz said they have information that a 3x4 point bull elk was shot in the afternoon or evening of Sunday, Sept. 11, and only six point or larger were in season at the time. Several persons are of interest in the investigation, including two young males who were in the area and glassing the bull when it was shot. Their vehicle was seen. They were driving a lightcoloured late model Ford F250. “We really hope they will come forward and give us some more information,” said Seitz. Conservation officers would also like to hear from the person who had game cameras set up in the area and has photos of people packing meat out from that area in the early hours of the morning of Sept. 12.

worthy and that the concerns they’re raising are in some way made up,” said Diehl. “I don’t have some naive hope that tomorrow animal experimentation will end. But I’d like to see shifts in that direction. One of those shifts would be transparency.” The publication got its name due to the fact that the students are encouraging dialogue about animals that suffer in laboratories, regardless of the silence they are getting in return. According to Diehl, the idea for the magazine grew out of a class taught by UBCO critical studies professor Jodey Castricano. She said that Castricano encouraged students to explore and challenge common assumptions about animal rights and experimentation. Diehl said that exploring information on the new testing facility hasn’t been easy. “I think there is a very purposeful effort to keep this kind of information hidden. No one even knew that this facility was being built. Even (Castricano), who is on the senate for the university, had no idea that the facility was being built,” said Diehl. “No one knows where the money for that facility is coming from. It’s very suspicious.” Diehl said that prior to the reports about UBCO’s testing facility, very few understood the level of UBC’s own extensive animal research problem. In the introduction of the magazine, she writes, “UBC’s animal research program entails the distribution of over 100,000 animals to UBC-affiliated projects (every) year and includes invasive, lifeending experiments on endangered sea turtles, Rhesus monkeys and cats.” The magazine put out by the students also explores society’s alleged discrimination against non-human animals. It challenges the notion that humans are the dominant species and compares animal discrimination to racial or gender discrimination. Diehl said animal rights activists are constantly stereotyped as uninformed; she hopes that the magazine may be one

Okanagan College is offering an information session for anyone interested in the aircraft maintenance engineer structures program on Thursday, Oct. 13, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., at the Kelowna aerospace campus, 5655 Airport Way. The first intake of the new program will begin Feb. 6, 2012, in Kelowna. The 37-week full-time program combines classroom training with hands-on training that takes students through the intricacies of inspections and repairs, with a heavy focus on fabrication. Kelowna Flightcraft will open its doors to offer prospective students a tour of their operations. With more than 900 employees, Flightcraft is a prime example of the industry demand.“We are very excited about our partnership with Okanagan College,” said Grant Stevens, director of human resources for Kelowna Flightcraft. “It allows us to hire locally trained AMEs to support our growing operations here in Kelowna and across Canada.” For more information, contact Rob Kjarsgaard at 250-503-2670 or email rkjarsgaard@okanagan.bc.ca.

T
he new season of the National Hockey League season has barely begun, and the troubles with our national game persist. Clips of Sidney Crosby skating in practice with the Pittsburgh Penguins but not getting involved in physical contact as of yet, combined with the number of suspension handed out already for headshots, continue to be troubling signs. Brendan Shanahan, a likely NHL hall of famer who was no
shrinking violet on the ice when he played, has been given the task by the NHL of policing illegal hits. He has been handing out suspensions left and right since the exhibition games started, trying to get the attention of the players. But now he is dealing with the inevitable pushback. A group of NHL general managers apparently approached league commissioner Gary Bettman to complain about the harshness of
Shanahan’s rulings. Other players are whispering that Shanahan is what they call a lackey to the owners, pointing out he was one of the players who broke ranks with the NHL players’ union during the last strike. Even Don Cherry, who loves Shanahan, was tearing a strip of him on his CBC Hockey Night in Canada bully pulpit last week. The reality is Shanahan needs to stick to his guns and the players will have to adjust. No rule is perfect but watch-
ing Crosby, the best player in the NHL today, skate in practice and not in games is a reminder that something has to be done. Two genuine solutions to the head shot issue—widening the NHL rinks to international standards and modifying the shoulder and elbow pad equipment— are not being addressed. So all Shanahan can do is deal with enforcing the rules as they are written, which offer ample ammunition to get his message across.

A Kelowna protest has
been scheduled for Kerry Park downtown on Oct. 15. And the overriding message from all these protests seems simple enough — the protesters are asking government, what about me? Claiming to represent the 99 per cent of the population who are not rich, who are either just making ends meet with their paycheques, or who have lost their jobs and can’t find another, or who have to decide between rent and food, the movement appears to have lots of potential supporters. And it is bringing them together, a demand help from the politicians— politicians of all all stripes. But as with any leaderless, grass-
roots protest with undefined targets, the disparate points of views are wideranging and the potential to have it fall apart is always there. Middle class workers may be joining with the homeless, the unemployed may be joining with those who have jobs, people whose politics fall on the left may be marching with those on the right but does everyone really feel the same way? Do they all have one thing in common? Sure, they are unhappy. But are they, as the 1970s movie Network put it, mad as hell and not going to take it any more? This is not North America’s Arab
Spring? It’s another chance to protest and. as we have seen of late— especially in B.C.— the attraction of protest is a strong one. Unlike the Middle East, where people protested for democracy, Americans, and now Canadians, are protesting against economics. It seems to me like another opportunity for anyone with a beef to join a crowd, shout, yell and try to stick it to the “Man.” Alistair Waters is the Capital News’ assistant editor. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

LETTERS ▼ ELECTION
Those behind fourchange.org should run To the editor: We should be very, very alarmed by the behaviour of some of our business want-to-be elite. I’m speaking of the group that hides behind the website fourchange. org. From my understanding, our councillors are voted in through a democratic process. This means citizens make a choice based on what they value
about a candidate’s principles and abilities. This group feels entitled to attack certain current councillors in a pack mentality—common in schoolyard bullying. And as we all know, bullies, are cowards underneath. Therefore it is not surprising that none of these individuals have the integrity to run for office and demonstrate their superiority.
What we need to read into the lack of specifics and content of fourchange.org is that these individuals are pro-business, pro-unlimited growth and don’t care about the true meaning of building a strong community. All one has to do is tune into the news and see the glaring examples of how big business, big banks and big government are sucking the life
out of our economy and deteriorating the quality of life for the 80 per cent of the population that pay the bills. And don’t be fooled by their justification of creating jobs, for this is a smokescreen for making more profits. We all know that if you are not working for a government funded sector like education or health care, the wages are pathetic.
Business cannot be trusted to define our community’s future. Individuals, like the ones that are being attacked by the “Tea Party of Kelowna,” are the very councillors representing the majority of citizens that are struggling to make ends meet in Kelowna. Barry Milner Kelowna

too many candidates at the forums. But the FourChange people have kindly singled out the candidates who will help create a balanced and diverse council, with voices for not only business and de-
velopers but also voices for the arts and culture, contemporary urban planning, the environment, and social fairness. Thanks heaps, guys! And if you want to single out any other candidates
you dislike, I’ll certainly check them out with great interest.

Voting is a moral responsibility for city residents creates the other and must guide it to become the best it can be. Parents and citizens have a responsibility inherent in their relationship to child and city, to do what they think is right, to choose what is best for their progeny. Just as a child could not be born without his parents, a city owes its
existence to its people. Kelowna would cease to exist if it was not for us choosing to populate it. And from that choice, from that action of creation, comes the responsibility to ensure it continues and grows to be happy and healthy. That responsibility in our society is instituted in our right to vote.
If citizens do not vote, if they do not choose what they think is best for Kelowna they are just as irresponsible as someone who brings a child into this world and leaves it without guidance, without a guardian, without a future. Parents that don’t do what is best for their children, who don’t care for
them, don’t deserve to be parents and if we don’t vote, if we don’t care enough to choose what is best for our city we don’t deserve to be citizens. On November 19, be responsible enough to vote, it’s not just a civic responsibility, it’s a moral one. Scott Ross Kelowna
▼ EXPANSION
Not all residents against Mission Hill’s plans To the editor: Much has been said about the development and expansion proposal of Mission Hill Winery. There have been some implications that the area residents are against the proposal
However this is not so. The area residents are not against the development. They are against the totally inadequate capacity of the present road system to accommodate either the construction
phase traffic or that which will be generated by the increased commercial traffic ensuing from the winery expansion. A new access road can be constructed. But when asked, the presenters for the expansion said that it
would be too costly. If this is so then the residents are being asked to subsidize the winery expansion by the devaluation of their properties and the discomfort of the increased noise and traffic activity.
If it so important to the municipality and the winery then the municipality and/or the winery should pay the cost of a new access road. Martin Wedepohl, West Kelowna
Vapor trail debate lingers on Express yourself To the editor: I just wanted to write a quick response to the debate going back and forth over the lingering vapor trails seen over the Okanagan. My letter is not limited to taking one side over the other, only the arguments that refuse questions to be asked openly and honestly. It seems nowadays there are two sides to a debate involving main
stream news. There are the people who question things they are told, and those who seem to denounce anyone who doesn’t blindly agree to go along with the commonly accepted story. More than any time in recent history, it is relevant and important to ask questions, and hold governments and media outlets complicit in government propaganda to task
over simply adhering to the official story. The media is a powerful tool for governments, but it can be an invaluable educational tool for the populace when editors and writers do some digging and print honest stories backed up with facts about government abuses to its citizens.

Becoming debt free an important objective to achieve O
ne of the top financial priorities today for most Canadians is becoming debt-free. A recent Manulife Bank Consumer Debt Survey confirmed that 75 per cent of the people said becoming debt-free is one of their top financial concerns. However, 41per cent people who participated in the survey increased or failed to reduce their debt in the last 12 months.
FISCAL FITNESS
Doreen Smith Being debt free is a high priority for Canadians, but the survey found many people lack the knowledge of debt fundamentals. There is a knowledge
gap in understanding their credit rating, the value of debt consolidation, and how to calculate interest payments. Debt confuses Canadians. We currently have a very low interest rate in Canada, and low interest rates encourage people to increase their debt. You need to plan to reduce your consumer debt. The current low interest rates are not normal for past generations. Some people assume

Managing debt effectively helps people save money, become debt-free sooner and achieve more personal financial goals. When you control the debt in your household, you have more flexibility to save and invest for your future. Reward yourself when you successfully achieve a debt reduction goal. You will also realize your retirement goals sooner. Many people juggle too many loans, struggle with high interest rates costs, and pay extra costs

To prevent heart disease start by knowing that heart disease does not just happen, it takes years of poor lifestyle choices. As well, by making healthy choices you can dramatically reduce your risks of developing heart disease, and even reverse existing heart disease. The top health problems contributing to heart disease are: sugar diabetes; high cholesterol; infections; and toxic metals. The high levels of blood sugar that occur with diabetes create brittle “glycosylated” proteins throughout your body, including your blood vessels. Brittle blood vessels increase your risk of forming blood clots and having a stroke. High blood cholesterol, specifically low density lipids (LDL), increases your risk of heart disease. LDL has many uses in your body, including the production of hormones and Vitamin D. However, LDL is also a sponge for free radicals, that when picked up cause the LDL to become sticky and potentially block arteries. Blood vessels themselves become sticky with infections such as Chlamydia pneumonia, a common cause of lung infections. When you add sticky blood to sticky blood vessels blocking an artery is only a matter of time. Toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, and mercury are in all of us. They increase the risk of developing infections, and they block enzymes necessary for normal functions like blood pressure and for producing energy in the heart muscle. There are laboratory tests to determine heart disease risk from diabetes, cholesterol, infections, and toxic metals. After you get tested there are effective natural medical treatments for each of these health issues. So get tested, know your risks, and take action now to avoid the pain, debilitation, and life shortening effects of heart disease. Dr. Wikenheiser is a licensed Naturopathic Physician.

Worldwide movement reaching Kelowna Peaceful gatherings that began in the Middle East this spring and moved to the Wall Street sector of New York City in recent weeks is about to spread to Kelowna. The Occupy Kelowna movement hopes to kick off with a positive response to a gathering planned for Kerry Park on Saturday, 10 a.m. The theme of the gatherings planned for across Canada is for people to speak out for greater economic equality and a better quality of life. Occupy Kelowna is part of this global movement in the ongoing conversation about predatory capitalism, how it continues to damage the fabric of society as a whole, and how a more inclusive economic process is required. Occupy Kelowna is also calling for an end to war and to environmental destruction, a honest exchange of ideas on climate change and reform of the electoral system.

Early detection and treatment helps combat parvo virus
T
here is currently an outbreak of parvo virus infection in dogs in the Vernon area. Parvo virus in dogs is a highly contagious and often deadly disease. The virus is found in the sick dog’s feces, and spread from dog to dog by direct contact or indirect contact. The virus is extremely resistant and can stay in the environment for many months, able to survive in extreme cold and hot temperatures. Puppies are the most susceptible. Certain breeds, such as rottweilers, Doberman pinschers and pit bull terriers as well as other black and tan coloured dogs, may be more susceptible then other breeds. There are two forms of canine parvo virus infection: intestinal and cardiac. The cardiac form is less common and affects puppies infected in the uterus or shortly after birth until about eight weeks of age. The virus attacks the heart muscle and the puppy often dies suddenly or after a short period of breathing difficulty.
FURRY FRIENDS
Dr. Moshe Oz The intestinal form is much more common. The disease is manifested by signs of lethargy, diarrhea that shortly becomes bloody, vomiting and fever. The profound vomiting and diarrhea lead to severe dehydration. In addition, the virus causes weakness of the immune system and the dog becomes prone to secondary bacterial infection. Dogs that catch parvo virus usually die from the dehydration or secondary infection rather than the virus itself. With severe disease, dogs can die within 48 to 72 hours without treatment. Dogs show symptoms five to 10 days after the infection occurs. The earliest the disease is diagnosed and treated, the better the chances of the dog to survive. Without treatment the mortality rate is
around 90 per cent. Even with treatment, recovery is not guaranteed but the survival rate is in the range of 80 per cent. The treatment consists of hospitalization, rehydration by IV fluids, antibiotics for the secondary bacterial infection, antinausea medication, vitamins and minerals, and sometimes supplementation of blood plasma to provide passive immunity and protein supplementation. A dog that successfully recovers from parvo virus sheds the disease in a few days. Ongoing infection risk is primarily from fecal contamination of the environment due to the virus’s ability to survive many months in the environment. Neighbours and family members with dogs should be notified of infected animals so that they can ensure that their dogs are vaccinated or tested for immunity. The house and the dog’s close environment should also be cleaned with bleach. Prevention is the only way to ensure that a puppy or dog remains healthy because the disease is ex-
tremely virulent and contagious. Puppies are getting series of three vaccines, three to four weeks apart starting at the age of six
to eight weeks. Vaccine will take up to two weeks to reach effective levels of immunity. For unprotected dogs, when parvo virus infection is suspected it
is extremely important to contact your veterinarian right away. Look for lethargy in your puppy or a lack of appetite as potential warning signs of the
disease. Dr. Moshe Oz operates the Rose Valley Veterinary Hospital in West Kelowna www.KelownaVet.ca

Making a smart ski goggle without snow Sometimes you need to think outside the box, or in the case of one engineering student, outside the season. For UBC Okanagan electrical engineering Master’s student Fazle Sadi, he faced the challenge of developing algorithms for a high-tech pair of ski goggles in the middle of summer.
So Sadi secured the instruments needed for his tests, stuffed them into a backpack and headed for the hills—literally—where he enlisted the aid of a volunteer mountain bike rider to simulate a snowboarder getting some air time. The rider strapped on the instrument-laden backpack and took off
from a hand-made dirt jump again and again so Sadi could get a series of readings. Sadi is playing a key role in refining the technology in the already high-tech goggles featuring head-mounted display systems that could soon be the must-have item for skiers and snowboarders. He is helping to opti-
mize technology for Recon Instruments which makes head-mounted displays for ski and snowboard goggles. The system has GPS and motion sensors, giving users real-time feedback on their speed, altitude, vertical distance traveled and total distance traveled, as well as temperature, time, a stop-
watch and a run-counter mode. The technology will also link via Bluetooth to the user’s smartphone, wireless video cameras and will boast navigation and buddy-tracking capabilities. Working with Recon’s research team, Sadi is developing complex algorithms—to crunch data

Fazle Sadi headed to the hills to work on algorithms that will make a high-tech pair of ski goggles even more so. from sensors such as GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope and digital compass—that will make the goggle display systems even smarter. The goal is giving users instant and in-depth readouts on the height, drop and air time of each jump. For instance, snowboarders can immediately fine-tune their approach, take off and airborne technique to catch more air for better stunts. “From a video, you can’t get accurate measurements and you have to wait a long time for that information. With the goggles, you have the information right away,” said Sadi. “It has a processor in it so it can compute everything right away.” The work was funded by Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada with the help of a $22,000 grant.

Climbing past the $40,000 mark
VOLUNTEER Tom Light holds up a bowl of donated money from the annual Maxine DeHart, Ramada Lodge Drive-Thru Breakfast held last Thursday morning in support of the United Way.
To the editor: Great things happen when great people get behind a cause. Thanks to Maxine DeHart and the Ramada Hotel, the 14th Annual Maxine DeHart Drive Thru Breakfast for United Way was a tremendous success. With her network of sponsors and many friends, over 1,300 breakfasts were served to happy and very patient supporters. More than $40,000 was raised in three hours and those funds will be used to support programs in our community that focus on children up to age 6, vulnerable adults and seniors through the 25 community partners that United Way funds. Special thanks to Terry Wardrop from Industrial Alliance Pacific Insurance, who made a significant financial contribution and also, with assistance from more than 60 volunteers, worked to ensure that every breakfast bag was properly packed. Others who made significant financial contributions include the Kelowna Professional Fire Fighters and Lakeland Oil Ltd. Okanagan Chrysler and Kelowna Chrysler Dodge Ltd. donated $100 for every car sold in September and generously contributed $7,700. In this spirit of giving Gorman Bros. Lumber issued a challenge and Mackay LLP accepted that challenge by choosing to support this event by generously donating funds previously earmarked for the United Way Dinner of Distinction that was to be held in November but had to be cancelled due to unavoidable circumstances. We are also grateful to our media partners, Capital News and Astral Media, who promoted the event with great enthusiasm. On behalf of the board and staff of United Way, thank you to everyone who supported this year’s Maxine DeHart Drive Thru. We can make a difference in our community when change starts here.

Kelowna Rockets in the running as 2013 Memorial Cup hosts Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
The Kelowna Rockets would like nothing more than to be competing at the 2013 Memorial Cup. Even better, they’d like to be doing so as the host team. The Western Hockey League will announce Wednesday which city will serve as the host site for Canada’s major junior hockey championship in May 2013. All three finalists—the Rockets, Red Deer Rebels and Saskatoon Blades—
will make their final bid presentations this week in Calgary. The league’s board of governors will then cast their votes with a decision expected Wednesday between 4 and 5 p.m. Kelowna time. The Rockets bring experience to the bid table, having hosted in 2004. If successful this time around, Rockets president and GM Bruce Hamilton guarantees an even bigger and better show in 2013. “Everybody that was involved back then is basically involved again this time,” said Hamil-
ton. “They’re all very excited about the chance to host again, we have a lot of new events planned, and we would add more to what we did in 2004. When we hosted, that whole festival idea started right here. We’re ready to take it to another level.” One of the key criteria in a successful bid is the ability of the host city to put a competitive squad on the ice. There is no question in Hamilton’s mind that the Rockets team will live up to expectations in the spring of 2013. “We feel really good
about our team,” said Hamilton. “Regardless of whether we get the Cup or not, we know we’ll be pretty competitive. We strategically carried a bunch of young guys in preparation for this. It’s a pretty good team now, and will be even better next year.” The quality of the facility and the potential financial returns guaranteed to the WHL are also factors the board of governors will take into consideration when selecting a host. In 2010, the last time
a WHL team hosted the Cup, the Brandon Wheat Kings guaranteed close to a $1 million kickback. It’s expected all three teams will offer guarantees considerably above that number. As for the buildings, Hamilton said the 6,007seat Prospera Place would undergo renovations, including the addition of new dressing rooms and improvements to the press box would also be made. Red Deer is expected to expand the capacity of its current 5,735-seat home arena, the Cen-
trium, to close to 7,000. Saskatoon’s Credit Union Centre seats 15,000. Hamilton said each Prairie city has its own strengths. “Saskatoon is the largest city and it has a bigger facility than the other two, so they’ll have a strong case,” he said. “In Red Deer, we’re up against a relatively modern building and a solid organization. I know (Rebels owner) Brent Sutter really wants this.” Still, Hamilton, not surprisingly, likes what Kelowna has to offer.
“Our team is good, I think our financial commitment will be good and, as a group, we’re very organized. We’re ready to do this again.” Hamilton credited the Rockets’ bid group for putting in the work to compile another impressive presentation. Chairman Paul Mitchell, who led the successful bid in 2004, was joined by Bill Winters, Cal McCarthy, Rockets vice-president of business development Gavin Hamilton, and Ray Putnam. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
▼ BMO OKANAGAN MARATHON
Curran wins first marathon in Kelowna The 17th annual running of the Okanagan Marathon featured a first-time marathon winner and a series of runners from Calgary to Fruitvale and Prince George, who crossed the line first in the popular running event. Every division featured a new winner at the event which took place Sunday morning under a mix of sun and cloud. Calgary-based runner James Curran, who hails from Cork, Ireland, finished first overall in the BMO Okanagan marathon, the first victory of his marathon career. Curran finished with a time of 2:44:54, followed by Thomas Evans of Penticton at 2:47:44 and Jamie Baxter of Canmore at 2:48:25. “It’s a great race,” said Curran. “It’s very well organized and it was my first time finishing inside the top 200. It was well worth the drive from Cal-
gary and it worked out lovely for me. Kelowna is beautiful and the people are so friendly. All in all, it was a perfect day.” On the women’s marathon side, B.C. runner Heather Johnson of Fruitvale won in only her second marathon race with a time of 3:10:20. Her first-place finish surprised Johnson. “It was a bit of a shock,” she admitted. “I came in feeling confident thinking I had a chance for a podium finish but I was not expecting to win today.” Johnson ran her first marathon in 2005 and is more comfortable running in the half-marathon. But the course suited her well. “The course is nice and flat, there are not a lot of hills, and it’s quite scenic so I had a lot of fun out there.” Paige Howat of Prince George came in second
in a time of 3:20:39 and Stacie Carrigan of West Kelowna was third at 3:20:53. After an overcast start at 7:15 a.m., the sun peaked through along with periods of light drizzle to keep runners fresh and cool. Runners overall felt the conditions were perfect on the day. The 21.1 Men’s half marathon saw Dave Matheson of Penticton finish first at 1:17:50, his first win at the BMO Okanagan Marathon in the half. “I feel amazing, especially because I was not expecting to win, so it’s extra special,” he said. “The temperature was good, the conditions perfect, and there was no wind.” Stacey Rishaug of Sherwood Park with a time of 1:24:05, while local runner Christy Lovig of Kelowna was third in the women’s half at 1:26:53.
The 10K Men’s Run was won by Gordon Minaker from Kelowna in 35:40, followed by Sean Bergman also of Kelowna in 36:53 and Chad Bergen from Maple Ridge in 37:32. First place in the women’s event went to Tanya Humeniuk from Vancouver at 38:15, followed by Emilyn Sim of Salmon Arm at 38:22 and Avrelien Schilles of Kelowna at 38:57. As many as 3,500 participants took part in this weekend family festival and Boston qualifying event. On Saturday the Running Room’s Free Friendship Run, 5K, and BMO Kids for Kids events went off without a hitch. The BMO Employee Charitable Foundation presented the Sunshine Foundation: Dreams for Kids with a cheque for $17,000 as the sole charity for the event.

Sun blown out in finale
Warriors split a pair on weekend
Needing to win by more than 13 points to secure first place in the BCFC, the Okanagan Sun dropped the ball on Sunday, losing to Vancouver Island 35-3 in a one-sided affair at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna. A Sun fumble on its first possession of the game turned into a quick VI Raiders touchdown and the Sun never recovered. The point differential needed to give the Sun first place was too much to overcome after that initial touchdown, accord-
ing to Raiders coach Matthew Blokker. “It went from a 13 point lead to a 20 point lead (in point differential) right away and you could see them get deflated,” Blokker told the Nanaimo Bulletin. “We could feel it and we just kept grinding them.” A field goal cut the Raiders lead to 7-3 at the end of the first quarter but the Raiders took over from there, running away with the 35-3 win in a highlyanticipated game in Kelowna in front of 2,700 fans.
The drama however, never materialized, and the Sun will have to regroup with the playoffs beginning this weekend. The loss dropped Okanagan into second place in the BCFC with an 8-2 record while Vancouver Island ended the regular season with a perfect 10-0 record. Okanagan will host the Langley Rams at the Apple Bowl on Sunday in one BCFC semi-final game while the Raiders will take on the Westshore Rebels in the other semi final.

After opening the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season by winning three of four games, the Kelowna Chiefs struggles continued on the weekend. The Chiefs dropped a pair of games, extending its losing skid to six games and falling to the 3-7 on the season. At Rutland Arena on Saturday the Chiefs led 1-0 after the first and 3-2
after the second period but couldn’t hold on in the third as Penticton scored twice to earn a 4-3 win.

UBCO women roll over UNBC in soccer Personal bests After a sloppy first half the UBCO Heat women’s soccer team got things together and rolled to a 4-0 win over UNBC on Saturday to remain unbeaten in PACWEST collegiate soccer play The Heat won 4-0 against the UNBC Timberwolves on Saturrday scoring once in the first half and pouring on the offense in the second half. In the 19th minute of the game midfielder Michelle Smith (1st year, Vernon) passed across the goal box allowing forward rLindsey Briggs (2nd year, Delta) to score and put the Heat ahead 1-0. After the break at half the Heat came out flying maintaining possession of the ball and pushing into into UNBC territory with midfielder Taylor Sarchet (3rd year, Surrey) controlling the action in the mid-
dle of the field. The 57th minute of the game saw forward Kirsten Dodd’s (1st year, Vernon) scoring her first goal of the game and fourth on the year. Dodds was able to tally her fifth goal of the season in the 75th minute of the match upping the Heat’s lead to 3-0. With a three goal lead and only fifteen minutes of game left UNBC needed to recover ground quickly. Their attempts were repeatedly rebuffed and allowed the Heat’s Kelsey Satterfield (2nd year, forward, Surrey) to counter strike as she brought the ball back down the pitch scoring the Heat’s fourth of the match and her first goal of the PacWest season. The Heat made sure they lost no ground in the final minutes of gameplay and came away with a 4-0 victory improving
their record to five wins, one loss, and one tie. Taylor Sarchet of UBCO expressed pleasure when it came to the results of the game, The Heat Women’s Soccer team plays another home game against Quest Oct. 15 at the Nonis Sports Field on UBC’s Okanagan campus at 1 p.m.

Kelowna powerlifter Kim Dennis picked the right time to have the best lifts of her life. Dennis set a pair of personal bests in winning two medals as a member of Team Canada at the 2011 Masters World Powerlifting Championship held in St. Catherines Ontario Sept. 26 to Oct. 1. After winning the Canadian Powerlifting title in March, Dennis took her talents to St. Catherines and was on top of her game. She set a new personal best in the squat event by lifting 170 kilograms (370 pounds). That was good enough for a silver medal. In the bench press, Dennis lifted 97.5 kg (215 lbs) and won a bronze medal. Her combined total of 412.5 kg was a personal best and she finished fourth overall in her weight class.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen Ricardo's favourites The latest publication by the Okanagan Institute is a book by Ricardo Scebba, owner of Ricardo’s Mediterranean Kitchen in Lake Country, called That’s Amore. It’s a selection of 55 recipes for some of the popular dishes offered at his restaurant, mostly Italian, and many passed on by his mother, Maria Concetta Scebba, to whom he dedicates the book. She also helps out at the restaurant, as do most of the family. Even the full-colour photographs are taken by his family members, and they are excellent and quite delectable-looking. Chapters cover appetizers, soups, pasta, salads, main courses, sauces & sides and desserts, and each is preceded by a little personal introduction, sometimes with a few kitchen hints. These recipes are simple and straightforward, but, be warned, there’s a lot of cream and butter used in Ricardo’s kitchen, so if you’ve a tendency toward high cholestrol or a bit of a paunch, you may wish to skip them. Otherwise, the methods are easy and the contents fresh and often locally-available, so the results should be tasty. Certainly, the Veal Saltimbocca we made was good and not at all difficult to put together. Many other classic Italian recipes are included in the book: Spaghetti Puttanesca, Pasta Fagioli, Biscotti, Tiramisu and Bruschetta. It’s available locally at bookstores, through the restaurant or at the B.C. Wine Museum, where you can also pick up a copy of my new book, also published by the Okanagan Institute, Jude’s Kitchen. Incidentally, congratulations to young chef Brandon Pridie of the Grapevine Restaurant at Gray Monk Estate Winery, on coming out on top in a black box competition on Sunshine Farms against four young colleagues recently. He won a three-month visit to Tuscany where he will work on a farm, immersed in the field to table concept, thanks to the dedication and commitment of the Okanagan Chefs' Association.
Ricardo's Panettone Bread Pudding
This looks very decadent and delicious, but if you only make it for a special occasion, what the heck, eh? Ricardo says the Italian panettone, a sweet bread, can be found at Italian grocery stores. This makes a large quantity. 1 panettone 8 eggs 2 c. (500 ml) sugar 1 c. (250 ml) milk 2 c. (500 ml) heavy cream
AMARETTO GLAZE:
1/2 c. (125 ml) milk 1/2 c. (125 ml) heavy cream 1/2 c. (125 ml) sugar 1/4 c. (60 ml) amaretto 1 tsp. (5 ml) cornstarch
Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Slice panettone into small cubes and arrange in a deep 9x12-inch oven-safe pan. In a bowl, mix remaining bread pudding ingredients well. Pour into pan, until the bread is saturated. Bake, uncovered, 45 minutes to one hour, or until the middle of the pudding is about to set. Remove from the oven and cool at room temperature. The middle should finish setting while the pudding cools. Make the glaze by heating all the glaze ingredients in a pot to a simmering boil. Combine the cornstarch with about a tablespoon of cold water until well-blended. Slowly stir the slurry into the pot, until thickened to a nice pouring consistency. Use more or less to achieve the proper viscosity. Spoon the bread pudding into a serving bowl and drizzle it with glaze. Serves 15.

Ricardo's Veal Saltimbocca
Apparently Saltimbocca translates from Italian to English, as something like ‘to jump off the mouth,’ or flavoured to delight the taste buds, and this is very tasty. I did find the cheese didn’t brown at all in the time recommended in the oven so I had to turn on the broiler for a minute. We paired this, very effectively, with a pinot grigio wine from the Okanagan but I think the Beaujolais Nouveau now out or a light pinot noir would also be good. 24 oz. (680 g) veal strip loin 1 tbsp. (15 ml) vegetable oil 4 slices prosciutto 8 whole sage leaves 8 thin slices provolone cheese salt & pepper, parsley, chillies 1/3 c. (75 ml) chicken stock 1 tbsp. (15 ml) butter
Cut strip loin into eight thin 3 oz. pieces. With a meat tenderizing hammer, gently pound veal even thinner, to cutlet style. Over medium heat, in a hot non-stick pan, quickly pan sear one side of veal in oil for one minute, seasoning with parsley, chillies, salt and pepper. Turn over and remove from heat. On each piece of veal place one sage leaf, one slice of prosciutto and one slice of provolone cheese, in that order. Bake in an oven-safe pan at 400 F for five to seven minutes or until cheese is nicely melted. Remove pan from oven and place finished veal on a serving tray. Place hot pan with drippings on medium heat and add stock. Once simmering, stir in the butter to make a glaze. Pour the sauce over the veal and serve. Serves 4.
Apologies to those made my Spicy Baked Squash recipe from last week’s column and didn’t realize as they did, that there should be more squash in it. In doubling most of the recipe I had concocted, I neglected to double the amount of squash, from 2 cups to 4 cups.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen
There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt *fresh ingredients top frozen or canned
*organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh *I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with
*I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
