Taking notice of foreclosure rate rising Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
It’s a sign of the economic times, say local realtors. Since 2008 — the peak of the local property market — the number of residential property sales sold through foreclosure in the Central Okanagan has risen sharply, jumping to 165 last year from just 11 three years ago. Currently there are 173 foreclosure properties listed for sale in the Central Okanagan. But unlike many economically hard hit cities in the United States, where foreclosures currently account for as much as 40 per cent of residential property sales in some cities, here the rate is much lower at just 4.9 per cent of sales. (The B.C. Real Estate Board did not have comparative figures for foreclosures from other areas of the province.) “It’s definitely a number we are starting to take notice of,� said Kelowna realtor and Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board director Kent Jorgenson. But he said he did not feel it is currently affecting the local property market in an adverse way because of differences between the U.S. and Canadian legal systems. Unlike in the United States, banks in Canada have a greater responsibility to the people who are being foreclosed on to try and get much for the property as possible, not just pay off the amount owed to the bank. Because of that, most foreclosure properties are listed at current market values. All foreclosure properties have to be appraised and the realtor involved in the sale writes a report stating how much the property can realistically be expected to fetch. It is then up to a judge to accept any sale offer for the property. As a result, banks dealing with foreclosures here list properties at market value and, in many cases, the selling price is “bid up� even after initial offers are made and accepted by the bank. That’s because unlike conventional sales, no foreclosure sale is final until the court approves it and other, higher, offers can be made right up until then. Still, Jorgenson conceded, the current real estate

Capozzi found drunk at murder scene Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The Kelowna man on trial for allegedly killing his mother in 2009 was found by police mere metres away from the grisly crime scene, sprawled out against the wall of his shed and smelling of booze, the court heard Wednesday.

Crown Counsel Martin Nadon revealed that, as well as other details he believed to be germane to the August 2009 death of Josephine “Babs� Capozzi, during opening statements of the second degree murder trial. A 12 person jury— comprised of seven men and five women—were also told that the accused is an alcoholic who, at the time, lived with his 79year-old mother. “In the weeks leading
to the death of (Josephine) he was on a bender,� said Nadon, noting witnesses have been lined up to speak to his actions in that time. He will also bring forward Alix Capozzi—an aunt who found Josephine at the entrance way to her Young Road home. She’ll speak to Cameron’s actions on the day of the crime. Offering a preview of that testimony, Nadon said Alix arranged to fit

Keno winner frustrated over lottery ticket investigation Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Donavin Akerley used to be a loyal customer of the B.C. Lottery Corporation. His game of choice was Keno. Other than a few minor payouts, the investment hadn’t really paid off. But on Friday, Jan. 27, it seemed as though that changed. “I visited a Mac’s station on KLO Road and I purchased a Keno ticket. I won. I matched all five numbers and it was a five times bonus—it was a $5,012 win,” says Akerley. But, thanks to a BCLC investigation and three weeks of frustration, Akerley no longer buys Keno tickets. “I’ve stopped. I’m not buying any lottery tickets. (Neither) are my family and friends, now that I’ve explained to them what’s gone on.” After realizing his ticket was a winner, Akerley asked the attendant in the Mac’s convenience store what he should do. He was told to write his name and phone number on the ticket. “I did a couple scribbles on the bottom corner of the ticket to get the pen going and then wrote my name and number down.” Since the prize amount was significant, the Mac’s store attendant
couldn’t cash the ticket. Akerley headed to Lake City Casino to try and get his money; however, he says the BCLC division of the casino was closed at that time. To get the situation sorted out, Akerley called the BCLC head office in Kamloops to see what information he needed to provide in order to get his winnings. “They told me that I needed two pieces of government ID, the ticket and a copy of the validation slip. I told them that I had ID, but the ID I had was expired. I said I would get confirmation from my bank, as well as confirmation from my doctor, that I was who I (said) I was.” According to Akerley, the reason he only has expired identification is because his wallet was stolen when his vehicle was broken into in early January. As an extra step, Akerley told the BCLC official that he would bring his girlfriend with him and sign the ticket over to her if necessary because she had valid identification. The BCLC employee advised Akerley that signing a winning ticket over to someone else is risky because they might try to steal the money. But Akerley explained that he trusted his girlfriend. On Monday, Jan. 30, Akerley and his girlfriend drove to Kamloops,
MLA ready to tweet Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
DONAVIN AKERLEY is frustrated that his $5,000 winning Keno game ticket has yet to be recognized and cashed out by the B.C. Lottery Corporation. hoping to finally receive the winnings. At the BCLC head office, Akerley confirmed that he wished to sign the winning ticket over to his girlfriend who had valid identification. But, to Akerley’s surprise, the money didn’t follow the paperwork. “An investigator, all of a sudden, came up and asked me about my ID. I explained to him that my card was expired and this was the copy of my identification that I had and that I didn’t hold a valid driver’s license at the time. “He gave me the gears about not having the ID and he wanted other information, like a police report from losing my license.” Akerley says that he and his girlfriend were then told that there would be a full investigation into the whole situation. The investigator took Akerley aside and interviewed him to try to get the story straight. He then spoke with Akerley’s girl-
friend. “When she came out, she was in tears. Later, upon talking to her on the drive home from Kamlops, she told me that (the investigator) was hard on her and made her feel like a criminal—like she stole the ticket.” Akerley phoned the BCLC head office the next day and said that he didn’t feel that he and his girlfriend were being treated properly. Despite this, BCLC has insisted that it is continuing its investigation, which could take months. Kim Steinbart, senior public affairs officer with BCLC, says that she can’t speak specifically about this particular investigation; however, she provided some general feedback about lottery investigations. “Security and integrity is key to our business and every effort is made to ensure prizes are paid to the rightful ticket holder. We review all lottery prize claims of $1,000 or more as well as those that
are suspicious or irregular,” says Steinbart. “For their own protection, lottery players are required to sign their tickets before the retailer validates the ticket or a prize is claimed.” Steinbart goes on to say that any tampering to a winning ticket can cause further investigating. “It’s important that our players understand that a lottery ticket is a legal document and the signature of the rightful ticket holder is the only signature that should be on the ticket. “Any tampering or additional writing causes the need for further investigation, which, unfortunately, causes delays in processing a prize claim.” When asked how much it costs for BCLC to carry out an investigation of this type, Steinbart says, “We have an operational budget for lottery investigations that takes into account the need from time to time for additional investigation.” Akerley says he’s
“mind-blown” as to why his particular case has been turned into a full out investigation. “I’ve been buying tickets for years. Knowing that this is the type of runaround you get when you win a small prize, it scares me to think how hard anyone who wins more than that would have to fight to get their money,” says Akerley. Akerley has continuously had phone conversations with the investigator of the case. He says that the investigator has reviewed security camera footage to ensure that Akerley was the one who bought the ticket. Akerley says that despite the investigator confirming to him that he was the person in the video buying the ticket, BCLC has since told him that it will be utilizing the services of a forensic investigator to verify the handwriting on the ticket. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com
Wave of Kelowna car break-ins lead to arrest of suspect A 36-year-old Kelowna man is facing multiple potential charges after being caught with a stolen vehicle and breaking into cars. On Feb. 15, 2012, at 2:36 a.m., the
Kelowna RCMP received a report that someone was breaking into cars on the 4900 block of Haskins Court. The Kelowna man fled on foot but was quickly located and found to be in
possession of various stolen items, including keys to a stolen car in the area. The man has been held in custody and is facing potential charges of possession of stolen property over $5,000 theft
under $5,000 and failure to comply with probation. Anyone living in the area of the 4900 block of Haskins Court who is missing items from their car is asked to call police at 250-762-3300.
Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick is turning to social media to hold a virtual town hall meeting. Letnick, will hold the meeting via Twitter Feb. 22 from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., and take questions about housing. He said he plans to responding to questions asked to his Twitter account at @NormLetnick, under the hashtag #asknorm. While the “town hall” meeting is open to all, Letnick is particularly encouraging constituents of his riding to ask questions and offer suggestions. “We’ve made a commitment to open up government, and social media is an excellent way to directly engage the public and continue the dialogue,” said the local MLA. “Among other things, I’ve knocked on thousands of doors, held surveys, and held hundreds of meetings, but I’m always looking for more and interesting ways to engage with my constituents.” Former OkanaganCoquihalla Conservative MP Stockwell Day and his successor, Dan Albas, have both previously held telephone town hall meetings where constituents phoned in to listen to them speak and had the opportunity to pose questions directly to both men and have them answered while still on the line. Letnick, who recently took exception to comments by NDP leader Adrian Dix that the Liberals are taking constituents in the Central Okanagan for granted, said Twitter town hall meetings are one of several ways he wants to engage his constituents.

link” when he tried to engage them. Base stations for two cordless phones, as well as two other cord phones, were found unplugged from the wall, stored in a nearby spare bedroom. No other phones were found in the house, Romanuik testified. Jurors also learned Josephine’s body was found with a knife in its
right hand. Defence counsel questioned Romanuik about the dead phones, freshness of empty beer bottles and the distance between the back sliding doors of the house and shed. Romanuik confirmed that the phones were found in the bedroom, the beer seemed fresh and there are around 12 metres between the shed from the
house. While Romaniuk’s testimony will be counted as evidence, opening statements are meant to be viewed by the jury as little more than a guide for what’s to come. Around 30 witnesses will be called by Crown Counsel. Josephine’s cause of death has yet to be revealed. The trial could continue for several weeks.

market is not the hotbed of activity it was three years ago, prior current economic downturn. The number of properties selling these days in the Central Okanagan is down, prices are down and properties are taking longer to sell, according to figures released by the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board. “We are now going into the fourth year of a real estate slowdown,” said Jorgenson. “And equity in many people’s homes is diminishing.” But he does not agree with some realtors who feel it is mainly real estate speculators who are getting burned by the high number of foreclosures. Jorgenson said it appears the tough times are affecting home owners across the board. Because prices jumped so quickly here, and went to high prior to 2008, many people who bought in the last few years have lost equity in their properties. Jorgenson said what he will watch for is to see if the number of properties foreclosed on continues to rise and starts to account for an even bigger percentage of the residential sales. In 2010, the total number of properties in foreclosure listed for sale was 135, a number that accounted for 4.1 per cent of all residential sales here that year. Last month, 44 new listings that went on the market were foreclosure properties, according to OMREB, 22 single family houses, 20 strata units, and tow lots. Of the 173 currently on the market, 80 are single family houses and 87 are strata properties.

Local business steps up to replace newspaper carrier’s stolen wagon Barry Gerding EDITOR
It may have only been a red wagon, but for a mother and son Capital News delivery tandem, it has become a symbol of both disheartenment and redemption. In the midst of completing their 72-issue delivery run of the Capital News on Feb. 2, Rachel Jantzen and her son Warren, stopped to make a visit to Nesters grocery store. It is a regular stop on their route, but one they no longer will be making in the future. That’s because on this particular day, while both were inside the store and the wagon was parked
under a tree with newspapers still to be delivered, someone stole the wagon. “We came out of Nesters and it was gone. It was a very weird feeling. I was mad…furious. It was like someone stealing your car,” recalled Rachel, who started delivering the Capital News with her daughter in 1999 and has since carried on the route with her 13-year-old son. “One of the people on our route who lives in Aspen Court told us later they saw us standing there looking bewildered.” But that’s the negative side of their story. What happened in the ensuing days has reinforced to Rachel that one bad apple is always outnumbered by
others with positive intentions. Once it sunk in that the Jantzens had been victimized by a thief, their first thought was for those who still hadn’t received their newspapers that day. A quick call to the circulation department and that concern was alleviated. In the days that followed, the Jantzens proceeded to walk all around their Old Glenmore neighourhood route, covering an area from Gordon to Richter, looking for the stolen wagon. One of the residents on their route said she saw a young person pulling the wagon up Flemish Street on Feb. 2, unaware

at the time what had happened to the Jantzens. They eventually came across a number of Capital News newspapers dumped near the intersection of Ethel and Cawston, but no sign of the wagon. Richard Dahle, the circulation supervisor for the Capital News, put an advertisement in the newspaper classified section the next week, asking if anyone had seen the red wagon in the area of Lawson Avenue, Flemish Street and the 1400-block of Gordon. “The carrier saved his money for months to buy this cart, and cannot afford to replace it,” said the advertisement. Dahle said the hope was someone would return the wagon to the Capital News office, no questions asked. That didn’t happen, but the responses from others to the ad caught Dahle by surprise. Two people stepped up with donations to help Warren replace the wagon. Others called in voicing their dismay that someone would steal a young newspaper carrier’s wagon. “One person called and suggested we should have asked for donations in the ad,” Dahle said. “I told him it was funny he should mention

Auto. He told his boss, Mitch Mitchell, about the story, and the store quickly volunteered to replace the wagon. While Rachel Jantzen is grateful for the replacement of the wagon, she still holds out hope that the wagon thief will return the stolen wagon, a small
sign of redemption. “I would certainly like to see the wagon returned to the Capital News, no questions asked,” Rachel said. “We would be happy to see someone else less fortunate, who delivers papers, have the opportunity to use a wagon for their route.”
Premier to speak to chamber audience Clark will speak to the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce Feb. 23 during a luncheon at the Delta Grand Hotel. The premier, who kicked off the spring session of the B.C. legislature with an appearance on a Vancouver radio talk
show to outline her government’s plans, is stressing job creation and economic growth for B.C. as her priorities. While criticized for replacing the traditional Throne Speech, read by the lieutenant-governor in the legislature, with
her on-air radio address and 90-minute question and answer session, Clark will speak here just after the B.C. budget is handed down. In past years, successive Liberal finance ministers have come here after presenting the budget and

The price of political change for FourChange.com was $30,766.The now-defunct Kelowna political activist organization, led by a group of disgruntled local business leaders, says it raised $30,838 and spend $30,766 in its campaign to have four incumbent councillors ousted at the ballot box and replaced with four candidates it supported. But while the quartet it targeted—Charlie Hodge, Michele Rule, Angela Reid-Nagy and Kevin Craig— did not win re-election, only three of its chosen four candidates were successful. Gerry Zimmermann, Gail Given and Colin Basran won seats, placing first, second and third on the final tally. The fourth candidate, Carol Gran, failed in her bid to return to Kelowna city council. According to financial disclosure documents filed with the city, FourChange raised the money it spent on the campaign through individual and corporate donations as well as in-kind contributions. It says it spent $21,000 on advertising and $9,415 on pamphlets and brochures. The biggest single contributor was group spokesman and co-founder Nick Frost, owner of local Internet news website Castanet. Frost donated $3,961 to the campaign and an in-kind donation of $900 is listed as coming from FMV, with N. Frost listed as an officer, for designing the group’s website. Other donors included $2,500 from Kelowna Flight Craft owner Barry Lapointe; a $500 donation from Francis Braam, another member of the FourChange steering committee; and $500 from his company Speth Enterprises. Michael Bird also donated $1,200. A total of 43 identified donors put up just over $22,000, while just over $8,000 came from a number of unidentified contributors whose donations were less than $99 each. Individual donors who give less than $100 in a civic election campaign do not have to be publicly identified. The 43 contributors who were identified contributed between $150 and $500 each. They included both individual and corporate donors. In addition to Hodge, Rule, Reid-Nagy and Craig, another incumbent councillor, Graeme James, also lost his bid for re-election despite Four Change originally supporting him. In the end, only three incumbent councillors were re-elected—Robert Hobson, Andre Blanleil and Luke Stack—all of whom had the support of FourChange. Newcomers Mohini Singh and Maxine DeHart were also elected. The election also resulted in a change of mayor, with former mayor Walter Gray defeating incumbent Sharon Shepherd in a close race. During the campaign, FourChange claimed it was “staying neutral” in the mayor’s race. Unhappy with how it felt Shepherd’s council was operating, what it chose to focus on and how it treated developers, FourChange said it wanted to see a change in “leadership” on council, a phrase it denied was directed at Shepherd. Following the election, FourChange announced it had disbanded. Candidates who ran in the civic election have until have March 19 to file their financial disclosure papers. Financial disclosure, donations received and expenses paid are required under the provincial elections act. They are open to public viewing at City Hall.

No criminal fault found Waldorf responds to kindergarten in Waverunner tragedy class shortfall in the Mission ▼ EDUCATION
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Criminal charges will not be laid in the boating collision that killed 10-yearold Emily Chaplin last summer, police announced this week. “This was an unfortunate and terrible tragedy. I have reviewed the file and can assure you that a thorough and complete investigation was conducted, and included an experienced marine investigator,” said Const. Kris Clark, referring to the collision between a 20-foot Cobalt and Yamaha Waverunner on Okanagan Lake, Aug. 26, 2011. “There were numerous aggravating factors in this case, on the part of both operators, but police were able to determine who was most culpable.” While Mounties have a view of who may be most responsible for the collision, they’re refusing to offer any details, noting that “civil litigation is likely to occur” and “it would not be appropriate for the RCMP to discuss their findings until after the conclusion of that litigation.” That said, they noted that given there
was no alcohol or drug involvement, the charge avenue narrowed considerably, said Clark. “Investigators considered other nonalcohol related Criminal Code charges but the witness statements did not support them. Finally, Canada Shipping Act charges were also considered, but, after extensive consultation with the West Coast Marine investigators and Senior Management, a Canada Shipping Act charge was not pursued,” he said. At the time of the accident, Emily’s father Terry had said he was disappointed with the police, alleging they had failed to follow through with interviews with some of the people on scene and with a toxicology report. Emily Chaplin was riding on a Yamaha Waverunner with her 18-yearold brother when they were hit by a power boat. Emily was killed instantly. Her brother suffered a broken arm and leg, and head injuries. Friends and family gave the young girl a 1,000-rose send-off on Okanagan Lake, just days after the fatal collision. kmichaels@kelownsacapnews.com
In response to the news that many of the kindergarten programs in the Okanagan Mission area of Kelowna may be unable to find a space for all the children in their catchment areas, the Kelowna Waldorf School plans to offer a solution. The private school plans to open up a second kindergarten class, essentially adding another 20 kindergarten spots to a Mission area school. When asked what prompted the school to make this decision, Waldorf principal Cindy Taylor said: “We know how important
the choice of your child’s school is to each family. “Since we have the ability to open up a second kindergarten class, we thought it would be great to offer families in Lower and Upper Mission and Kettle Valley another option to having to bus their children out of the area.” The Kelowna Waldorf School is an alternative school founded on the philosophy of offering students an education based on developing a love of learning, a deep confidence in themselves and their abilities and a sense of community.
At Waldorf, much of the curriculum in the elementary years, including math, reading and science are taught to the children through storytelling, dance and crafts with an emphasis on the natural world which includes lots of time outdoors. The school’s approach is designed to develop a life-long passion for learning through developing imagination and confidence. It is a tuition-based school with the philosophy that its programs should be accessible to all. Tuition adjustment is available for those who need assistance.
Search for Lalonde continues Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Local Mounties have yet to find the West Kelowna man who vanished from his life last month, prompting a re-issued plea for information. “The West Kelowna RCMP would like to urge all Kelowna and West Kelowna residents to check
their outbuildings for any sign of Andrew Lalonde,” said Const. Kris Clark on Monday morning. Lalonde was last seen by his sister Jessie Lalonde on the evening of Jan. 17, and some of his neighbours reported seeing him leave his West Kelowna trailer park the next morning. Since then, however,
the trail has run cold. According to Jessie, it’s unusual for her brother to disappear without comment but he wasn’t in great shape the day he disappeared. “He struggles with alcoholism,” Jessie said at a press conference last month. Andrew had driven to Jessie’s house, sober, the night of Jan. 17
Andrew Lalonde and was showing signs of mental distress.
is proud to welcome new Executive Chef
Dan Werry to the Food and Beverage Team.
He was raised in Kelowna and discovered his love for cooking at a very young age. He was inspired to study the art of cooking at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology in the Culinary Arts Professional Cooking Program. His passion for food and desire to further his training lead him to Banff, Alberta, where he gained 16 years of experience working as chef de partie and sous chef, for The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. In addition, Dan was given the opportunity to travel and gain even more experience taking him to The Fairmont Scottsdale Princess, in Arizona, and The Fairmont San Francisco, in California. Providing Dan with the opportunity to return to the Okanagan where it all began for him, his decision to join The Harvest was an easy one. Using “good, local, fresh, simple food” Dan is looking forward with great anticipation to express his passion and experience through his menu. He feels very privileged to be doing what he loves and believes that his food is a solid interpretation of who he is.

NEWS ▼ GLOBAL CITIZEN WEEK
Artists, activists joining up for panel discussion Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Art is an amazing medium to catch attention for important causes, according to the members of Tribehouse Artist Collective, the group hosting an artists and activists event for Global Citizen Week. The evening, entitled An Artists’ Eye on the World: Artists and Activists, is a panel discussion featuring three local activist types whom artists might want to connect with to help further their cause. “When we spoke to (Angela Reid-Nagy), she said, ‘Oh so it’s like speed dating for artists and activists,’” said Tribehouse member and organizer Andrew Smith. A former city councillor with a background in politics and the environmental movement, ReidNagy is one of the three panelists set to inspire Kelowna’s creative thinkers. “When I first set my mission, when I was 18 years old and I was laying there in the grass looking up at the sky, I said: ‘I am going to save the world through business, politics and music,” said Reid-Nagy. She started her first business, Tigress Ventures, in 2006, eventually merging with Lindsay and Darrell Eason to form GreenStep Sustainability Coaching. After running for the Green Party both provincially and federally, she was then elected to Kelowna city council in 2008 for one term. “There didn’t really seem to be time to nourish the music side of things, but it definitely has a huge
influence on my life,” said Reid-Nagy, whose three siblings are all singer/songwriters (sister Colleen Reid has a CD on iTunes). Reid-Nagy grew up in theatre and music and says she’s hoping that as she starts to have children and move on to raising a family, she’ll be able to bring the music back into her life as art is an important medium for social change. “There’s so many other mediums to help capture people’s attention than the mediums I’ve used—business and politics,” she said. “I think what I remember about that vision, when I said I was going to change the world through business, politics and music, it was a realization that I wasn’t going to go chain myself to a tree or drop a banner off a bridge,” she said. “I wanted to influence circles of power in a less obtrusive way and a less forceful way.” The other panelists include organic farmer/activist/festival organizer and artist Gabe Cipes. Cipes has already found a unique way to use art as a medium to influence change, organizing a yearly festival (this year called the Fertility Festival) aimed at encouraging more sustainable, holistic lifestyles. His work as an activist saw him travel across the country to pitch a sustainable solution to the BP oil spill off the Florida coastline and he helped found the Wetland Regeneration Alliance to conduct studies and species maps of the Okanagan wetlands.
AMONG THOSE participating in a panel discussion in conjunction with Global Awareness Week are Angela Reid-Nagy, a past Kelowna city councillor and co-owner of GreenStep Sustainability Coaching, and filmmaker Jan Vozenilek, who is currently on Midway Island working on a film about the Pacific Ocean garbage patch and its impact on the albatross population.

Let the paying public decide t seems Abbotsford just can’t escape controversy over the type of entertainment that comes to town. As opponents to the Taboo Sex Show were celebrating last week over the cancellation of the Abbotsford date, they were bemoaning the announcement of the arrival of the Lingerie Football League here this summer. The Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre will be home to a team of women who play football in helmets, pad-
ding, bras and panties. It’s not exactly the kind of entertainment that puts this city on the cultural map. It also raises an array of social questions involving the sexual exploitation of women, and the messaging to youth. Understandably, many people look with considerable dismay at this “sport,” and the society that tolerates it. However, they won’t be the ones attending the games. And those who will go obviously won’t be sharing the
concerns. Morality issues aside, it’s money that motivated the deal to bring this type of entertainment here. And ultimately, just as we suspect was the case with the Taboo show, rather than community opposition, it will be dollars that decide whether the LFL stays or moves on. The AESC has been running a deficit in the millions since it opened in 2009. Global Spectrum is tasked with managing
the facility – ostensibly at a profit. Hence, it’s difficult to turn away opportunities that will generate revenue, which the LFL will do, since the league is renting the facility. Meanwhile, Abbotsford’s mayor is declining to be the “morality police” for the community. We agree with that perspective.This is an issue on which we’ll vote with our own values—and wallets. —Abbotsford News

Member of the British Columbia Press Council
Demand for accountability often wanes with passage of time
P
erhaps the old saying that time heals all wounds is true. For it seems accurate given the public sentiment of many being expressed to those facing charges for participating in Vancouver’s now infamous Stanley Cup riot last year. In the immediate aftermath of that black eye on Canuck land, people were calling for the rioters to be identified, charged and have the book thrown at them. The appetite for that need for legal retribution was fed by the fact many of the vandalism acts were carried out in front of TV cameras and others clicking away pictures on their cell phones. It was an interesting moment to watch in that regard—people at the
forefront of rioting escapades hassling media cameramen and newspaper photographers for taking pictures of their illegal actions, while strutting in front of people holding cell phones taking pictures that no doubt went viral without minutes. If there was a charge for being a moron, or at least not understanding the impact of their own social media conscious generation, there it was for all to see. But as the post-riot story has dragged on from the endless police investigation to identify the culprits to the court proceedings, the public
mood appears to have shifted. The raw anger of those memories of the riot have changed, the mindset now being expressed about how Barry those charged with Gerding have their lives ruined by a felony conviction for a moment of stupidity. I’m sure that thought wasn’t a high priority for this business owners and their staff who were trapped in their businesses as rioters surrounded their shops and restaurants, fearing for their lives as anarchy prevailed just mere few feet and a window pane of glass away. That our collective mood has
EDITOR’S NOTE
shifted somewhat towards the needs of the rioters is no surprise. Defense lawyers are experts on preying on that sentimentality in winning lesser conviction penalties for their clients. What we all should be talking about here is accountability—and that has nothing to do with throwing people in jail. We do too much of that now for lesser criminal offences and the benefit to society is questionable. We should be talking here about damage restitution. We should be talking about community service hours, and not just picking up garbage on the highway medians. There are many resource-strapped community service agencies that could benefit from a free source of labour. Impressionable teenagers would
do well to here the remorse of someone who acted like an idiot, brought harm and pain upon others, and can now realize it’s a lesson that others don’t need to experience. One of my lessons after reaching early adulthood was how my fear of being caught doing anything bad was misplaced as a teenager. Yes, my parents would have been severely upset, but as for the legal authorities, accountability wasn’t a particular issue for juveniles caught committing petty crimes. Slap on the wrist and away you go. No accountability. And looking at how the legal actions against the Stanley cup rioters are proceeding, it appears nothing has changed. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

To the editor: Our Prime Minister goes off to China to flaunt our abundance of fuels for sale and here in Kelowna the price of gas goes up. If we have so much of everything he mentioned,
then why are we paying so much for our fuels? Kelowna is terrible for gas prices all the time and the station owners play us for fools when they lower the price for a period of time then crank it up high-
er and we say nothing. We are being ripped off. As far as this weekend’s barrel price, it was down lower and we still pay more. Again, why should we
be paying the high prices if we have so much we want to export it? Something’s wrong with this picture. I also feel that rather than build pipelines to export our oil and gas we
John MacLeod, Kelowna
and he said Canada Post is a three- to 10-day service. I phoned again seven days later, which makes it 17 days, and no card and the person I talked to could not give a straight answer. I asked him if he could or even would want to explain to a five-year-old why her brother received his card and she is still waiting. His reply: Well there are unforseen things that could have happened. My answer to him was maybe some employee(s) along the sorting line could be targeting mail for money—gift cards. This has been reported in the media where
bags of open mail have been discovered and he went silent on the phone. I asked him if he was stuck for words and he gave me the brush off. Canada Post wonders why mail volume is dropping. It is reported that Canada Post delivers more junk mail than regular mail. It is no wonder—no wants to use their service when it can take more than 17 days to get a letter delivered from point A to point B. Pony Express or dog sled service is much faster. Adam Negrych, Kelowna
Cancelled bus like kicking seniors when down To the editor: We have read with interest and a great deal of trepidation the archived report entitled Moving Kelowna Forward. In that report it was stated that the #9 Shoppers Shuttle is slated for elimination. This is wrong on so many levels we hardly know where to begin. It is highlighted in the report that Kelowna city council is “very committed to serving” the UBCO students, which we understand; however, do our seniors have to be sacrificed to accomplish this? You are adding more buses for their convenience while eliminating the one bus (which incidentally offers limited service) that serves many of our more vulnerable cit-
izens who are dependant on this service to maintain their dignity and independence. I wonder how our sister city in Japan feels about the way we treat our elders? Further to the report it states that: “Lifestyle matters—whether you are young or old. And it makes good economic sense for the city to invest in infrastructure that enhances our lifestyle.” It is our understanding that Kelowna has become the retirement capital of Canada. Do you not think that they contribute to the economic growth of the community through the services they require? Also stated is: “52 per cent of Kelowna citizens surveyed say recreation and cultural opportunities
were a factor in deciding to live in one city over another.” It would be interesting to know how many seniors were included in that survey or were university/college students used as the demographic. Recreation and cultural activities are valueless without reasonable access by seniors who incidentally do make up a large portion of our population and that base is going to increase over the coming years. Do we not want them to feel welcome in our community as well? Do our less mobile citizens not have the same right to participate and enjoy these activities also? E.g.: New senior’s center at Parkinson’s Recreation Center as well as the existing facility.
To tell these citizen’s who use the #9 bus to take the #10 is absurd as, despite the fact the increased service is often packed and unable to accommodate walkers, etc. Also that bus caters to high school students and young moms with strollers which makes it very inconvenient for older people who often have to stand because there is no seating. You are asking them to walk further and endure a difficult situation just so you can accommodate the student population at UBCO. We find this very disrespectful when they have bent over backwards to accommodate the council and transit managers. It is time we gave seniors the respect and hon-
our they so greatly deserve and give them back their dignity thereby showing them we do respect them. Finally, quoting again from the report: “Over the next few years we’ll also invest millions in projects all over the city that don’t necessarily get the headlines, but are necessary for the well-being of our residents.” Could you tell us exactly how your decision to eliminate the #9 bus is necessary for the well-being of these, predominently senior, residents who are struggling to maintain an independent lifestyle. It seems to us you are kicking them when they are down. David and Laura Kay, Kelowna
Transit system useless for young lifestyles To the editor: Use it or lose it. How about: Build it and they will come. I have three teenagers in the house who are working in or near Orchard Park and have found the bus schedule to be almost useless for getting them home from work. First, I would like to point out we have an Okanagan Sun (football player) living with us who stayed in town to work, train and ski in the off-season and we assured him not having a car would not be a problem as there was a bus near our house. That was in October and that was when we began
to realize how poor the schedule is. The other two started working in December and that was when our nightmare began. Orchard Park closes at 9 p.m. Wednesday to Friday. The #7 bus to North Glenmore leaves at 8:42 and there’s not another until 10:47 p.m! The #10 leaves at 8:45 and then 9:51, so 9:51 is the only option transferring downtown to get them home at 10:37! This is a 15 minute car ride so of course we go get them. Some days between picking up from KSS and work we make eight to 10 trips back and forth and
our billet has become dependant on us for rides to just about everywhere. We got passes for the KSS trip but because they were so useless the rest of the time we gave up. The schedule also does not work for teens who want to be out on a Friday or Saturday night. The waits are just too long so no one uses it. The kids can only have one passenger in their car so the amount of cars on the road is way up. If the system actually worked we would purchase passes—that would bring in $1,512 a year just from our house. In a time when we are
being encouraged to “Go Green” the Kelowna Transit scheduling has made it
almost impossible. Denise Swabey, Kelowna

Heat battle Bisons in Can West playoffs Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Making the Canada West playoffs in their inaugural season was no small feat for the UBC Okanagan men’s volleyball squad. The Heat’s next formidable challenge is to try and take down the No. 2-ranked team in the country on their own court. Beginning Thursday night, UBCO will be in Winnipeg to battle the Manitoba Bisons in the best-of-three Canada West conference quarterfinal. The second best-offive match will go Friday, with a third, if needed, set for Saturday night. At stake is a trip to
Trinity Western next weekend for the Canada West championship and, more importantly, a berth at the CIS finals March 2 to 4 at Queen’s University. The Heat (8-12) and Bisons (18-2) met twice in November with Manitoba sweeping to victory in both matches. And while his Heat are the clear underdogs, head coach Greg Poitras said the UBCO men head into Winnipeg with a quiet confidence. “We left that weekend thinking that if we could just play a little higher level of volleyball, we’d be right there with them,” Poitras said. “We lost 3-0 and 3-0, but we had so
many chances, it was just five or 10-minute spans in each set that we needed to be better. “We’re hungry to go back, we’re a better team than we were, but so are they,” Poitras added, “they’ve gotten better, too. We’re up for a quite a challenge but we’re a more confident team than the first time we played them.” Overcoming obstacles isn’t a new concept to the Heat who, during one stretch this season, lost 11 straight matches and looked to be down and out of playoff contention. But with eight wins in their last nine matches— including two must-win sweeps over Thompson

Impressive finale for Heat women v’ball Steve Manuel couldn’t have asked for a better effort from his team to finish off UBC Okanagan’s first ever season in Canada West women’s volleyball. The Heat left it all on the floor Saturday night in Kelowna en route to a hard-fought five set win (25-22, 23-25, 12-25, 2523, 15-12) over Thompson Rivers University. “That was an incredibly gutsy performance by our team,” said Heat head coach Steve Manuel. “That’s the kind of ball that we’ve played for so many years and that’s why we’ve been so successful, we played that
hard the whole time.” Heat outside hitter Alex Basso was dominant, putting down an game high total of 22 kills for the second night in a row, while also grabbing a team high 19 digs. Outside hitter Jill Festival put down five kills and added 13 digs. “This season was great, we didn’t capitalize on some games that we all know we should have won, but we had a great time and to end the season like that, with the crowd and everything, it was awesome,” said Heat middle Kaylan Gouldsborough. “I’m really sad that I am finishing school
Kaylan Gouldsborough and have to leave but I had a great time here.” Gouldsboroughplayed her last game with the Heat , and will be graduating this year with her degree in Human Kinetics. She was back in her familiar starting middle pos-
ition Saturday, and as as a starter played a key part on two national collegiate championship squads with the Heat. “Kaylan Gouldsborough came back into the match really strong and made a huge, huge difference for us just with her presence and what she did with her play,” said Manuel. “She couldn’t have finished her career on a higher note.” The Heat finished its first year in the CIS at 6-14 and shy of the playoffs, but Manuel has no doubt his program belongs with the nation’s best. “I think we had our mojo rocked a little bit this
year just with playing bigger, stronger, older, more experienced teams and it’s really good to end on that note knowing that it’s not gone, it just went away for a while,” said Manuel. “This team has what it takes to compete at the highest level in the country. We have beaten four teams that are going to playoffs in our first year and I think that’s a huge accomplishment. I’m extremely proud of how the team played all year and I couldn’t be happier about how they stepped up tonight and played just incredibly gutsy ball.”

Men finish with flourish Rockets’ captain sidelined The UBC Okanagan men’s basketball squad closed out its first ever season of CIS competition with a bang, taking down Thompson Rivers University 93-71 Sunday night in Kelowna. The Heat shot a season high 54.3 per cent from the field to finish the 2011-12 Canada West campaign with a 3-15 record. Fifth-year post Simon Pelland, playing in his final game for the Heat, was second on the team in scoring with 16 points and was tops in rebounding with eight. “I couldn’t be happier,” Pelland said of his last game with the Heat. “At the end of the first half I started to get a pretty big smile on my face at the way everyone was playing. Definitely every single player on this team contributed to that win.” “I think it was one of the best team games we’ve played,” added fellow post Steve Morrison, who was also playing in his final career game. “Everyone was playing together, nobody selfish, it was something you enjoy being a part of. It was a great way to go out.” Junior guard Yassine Ghomari led UBC Okatnagan in scoring with 25, twhile freshman Bret Macdonald and sophomore Mack Roth each chipped tin 14. The Heat were especially philanthropic on rseniors night, as every three-pointer made rersulted in a donation of $50 to KidSport B.C. The Heat scored a season best 93 points, including a season high nine threes on the tnight to raise $450 for the charity.
HEAT WOMEN
The UBC Okanagan women closed out their inaugural Canada West season Sunday afternoon in Kelowna with a 69-59 loss at the hands of the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack. For the home team, Heat fourth-year post Roslyn Huber scored 21 points and grabbed five rebounds. First year guard Emily Kanester dropped 18 points in the absence of UBC Okanagan’s starting guards Madison Kanedab and Ashley Briker.

As is the case with most concussions, the precise length of Colton Sissons’ absence from the Kelowna Rockets lineup is unknown. What the Western Hockey League club does know for certain is that the 18-year-old captain will be missed. “He’s our captain, so he’s very important in the dressing room and on the ice,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “When you take away a key piece like Colton from your lineup, it’s hard to replace that.”
Sissons, who has 26 goals this season, was injured Saturday night at Prospera Place when Kamloops defenceman Tyler Hansen caught the Kelowna captain with a high check six minutes into the third period. Hansen was handed a two-minute roughing penalty, while Sissons was forced to leave the game with concussion-like symptoms. Huska said a timeline for Sissons’ return is uncertain. “You just don’t know with those kinds of injuries, he could start to feel better in day or two and start working his way back, or he could be out a

lot longer,” Huska said. As for Hansen, the league took no disciplinary action against the Blazers’ defenceman for his role in Sissons’ injury. “It was a head shot and (Hansen) knew fully what he was doing,” Huska added. “There’s been no suspension and that’s the frustrating thing for us. The league is fully aware of Colton’s concussion, but they chose to do nothing. With everything that’s been talked about and the way they’re trying to stop high hits, they had an opportunity to do something, but chose not to.” The Rockets (24-253-5) have run into a rash
of injury problems of late and, as of Wednesday morning, were still without Mitchell Chapman (upper body), Filip Vasko (lower body), Spencer Main (concussion), Jessey Astles (upper body), and Cody Chikie (upper body). Chikie was a gametime decision on Wednesday as the Rockets prepared to play Edmonton. Astles is a possible returnee for Friday’s game against Calgary, while Brett Lyon will be back Friday after serving a sixgame suspension. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Cotter’s Okanagan rink punches ticket to Brier in Saskatoon Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
From the moment the Canadian Curling Association announced last year that Saskatoon would be hosting the 2012 Brier, there was no question where Kevin Folk wanted to be during the early part of March. The 31-year-old Saskatchewan native got his wish Sunday when the Jim Cotter rink captured the B.C. men’s curling championship for the second straight year. The Vernon/Kelow-
na foursome, also featuring second Ty Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky, downed New Westminster’s Brent Pierce 7-5 in the provincial finale in Parksville. Trailing 6-5 coming home, Pierce had the hammer, but his angle-raise takeout attempt missed the mark, giving Cotter a steal of one and the B.C. men’s crown. The win also made amends for a lopsided loss to Pierce—a rink which includes Kelowna’s Jeff Richard at third—in the Page 1-2 game a day ear-
lier. Cotter then rebounded in the semifinal for a 7-6 extra end win over Royal City’s Chris Baier. “We have excellent chemistry,” said Folk. “We didn’t get too high or too low, and when we had an off-game we were able to regroup when we had to. The team members have been really good at that all season.” The Brier in Saskatoon March 3 to 11, will be a homecoming for both Kevin Folk and his dad, Rick Folk, the coach of the Cotter team.
The elder Folk grew up in Saskatoon and won the Brier and world championship playing out of Saskatchewan in 1980. Born in Saskatoon, Kevin Folk lived there until he was seven, then returned to watch his dad play in the 1989 Brier final under the banner of Team B.C. “I’m expecting our coach (Rick) to be our most popular player,” Kevin said with a laugh. “He’ll be getting a lot of attention there, curling is pretty big there and people remember him…may-
be that’s a good thing, that will take the attention off of us. “For me, personally it’ll be great, it’s my hometown and I have a lot of family there I haven’t seen for a while,” Folk added. “But even with all that, we have to keep everything focus. We’re there to win.” While Kevin Folk is making his third trip to the Brier, it will be Tyrel Griffith’s first appearance at Canadian curling’s biggest show. Griffith, 26, joined the Cotter rink this season at
the second position, with Folk moving up to third. “It’s a dream come true,” said Griffith, the 2005 and 2006 B.C. junior champ. “It’s pretty cool to be with these guys, they’re at the peaks of their careers, and they’ve already accomplished so much. “I always hoped to one day go to a Brier, and to be able to do with great curlers and great guys, is pretty special.” As for the rink’s second straight trip to the Brier, Folk expects his team to learn from last year’s disappointment when the Vernon/Kelowna crew went 4-7 in London. “I think we’re going to build for this and try be better prepared, we weren’t happy with the way it went last year,” said Folk. “We’re going to start that process, have some meetings and sit-downs and make sure we’re as sharp as we need to be.” From a personal perspective, Folk doesn’t want a repeat of last year’s lead-up to the Brier when he had his car broken into in Kelowna, and had his curling shoes and pants stolen. On top of it all,
he was battling a case of strep throat. “I’m planning not to get my stuff ripped off, and I’m making sure I’m taking my vitamins,” Folk joked. “I’m hoping to be a lot better prepared this time.” Among the other rinks competing at the 2012 Brier will be Ontario’s Glenn Howard, Brad Jacobs from Northern Ontario, Kevin Koe from Alberta, Newfoundland’s Brad Gushue and Robert Fowler from Manitoba.
SENIORS IN KELOWNA…
The B.C. senior men’s curling championship is in progress this week at the Kelowna Curling Club. Among the eight rinks competing is the Rob Koffski team of the host club. On Thursday, Koffski will play Wayne Harris from Comox at 10 a.m., and Dennis Graber of Prince George at 3 p.m. The Koffski rink also features Dan Worley, Terry Bauer and Larry Kozachenko. The playoffs begin Saturday, with the championship game at 2 p.m.

silver medals were Emily Castro, a Grade 9 student from Okanagan Mission Secondary School, and Beau Jackson a Grade 9 student from Constable Neil Bruce Middle School. Bringing home bronze medals were Mike Vallido, a Grade 9 student from Dr. Knox Middle School, and Kris Saccary a Grade 12 student at Kelowna Secondary School. The provincial championship will be held at the South Okanagan Events Centre, Feb. 23 to 25.
Local teams win four medals at Sweetheart The Kelowna Chiefs were one of four local teams to capture some hardware at the 2012 Sweetheart Ringette Tournament. The Chiefs, consisting of players from both Kelowna and West Kelowna, defeated a team from Saskatchewan 5-0 in Sunday’s final game in Kelowna to win the gold medal in the 18+ division. The Kelowna team opened the tourney with a 7-5 win over Vancouver Open, then downed Burnaby Open 9-1. In their third game, the Chiefs played to a 4-4 tie with Saskatchewan, before defeating them in the final. The Chiefs are: Jodie Gordon, Taylor Pomponio, Kaitlyn Collins, Sydney Hertz, Kaitlin Weatherill, Mallory Sisson, Jordan Ossachuk, Melanie Brown, Nadine Klawit-
ter, Vanessa Zilkie, Bobbi McIvor, Holly Langlois, Lisa Matzelle, Natalie Stewart, Nicole Martini and Kirsten Burnett. The coaches are Kevin Hertz and Pauline Collins.

The tournament also featured a showcase game of two National Ringette League teams, as the Lower Mainland Thunder took on the Winnipeg Prairie Fire.
Final effort for Tucker Heat from A12 knew we could end up in a bit of a drought, which we did, but we couldn’t let it faze us. We managed our ups and downs pretty well, battled through some injuries, and the guys won the matches they had to. They’ve battled all season, so it’s quite an accomplishment to have made the playoffs. Now we want to take another step.”
Setter Preston Tucker is one of three fifth-year players who will graduate from the Heat program at season’s end. Tucker expects his fellow grads and the rest of his UBCO teammates to leave it all on the court this weekend. “All season we were underdogs, we weren’t expected to make the playoffs, so really we have nothing to lose… and that can be scary for
other teams,” said Tucker, who graduates with Mark Broome and Spencer Brown. “We’re pretty excited to play Manitoba, we know we match up pretty well. They have a solid lineup, a few key guys. but if we can take a couple of them off their games, it gives us a real chance,” Tucker said. All Heat vs Manitoba matches will be streamed live on CanadaWest.tv.

As a gold level sponsor, Accelerate Okanagan will provide the event space, mentors, prizes and organizational support. Beginning with open-mic pitches on Friday, March 2, attendees bring their best ideas and inspire others to join their team. Over the following two days, partici-
pating teams will focus on customer development, validating their ideas and building a minimal viable product. On the Sunday evening, teams will pitch to, and be judged by, a panel of distinguished judges, followed by a prizegiving and wrap-up event. Startup Weekends are designed for entrepreneurs interested in receiving feedback on an idea, looking for a cofounder, or wanting to learn a new skill. They also welcome anyone looking to test the entrepreneurial waters. Startup Weekend Okanagan will be a risk-free environment where everyone is expected to roll up their sleeves and dive into the exhilarating world of startups. Interested parties can find out more or register at http://okanagan.startupweekend.org Brent Lachman, a member of the organizing committee, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now there is a strong entrepreneurial movement in the Okanaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technology sector.

SNORING?
SLEEP APNEA?
Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.
To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH ďż˝ Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS ďż˝ For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS ďż˝It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. ďż˝ Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in #23 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing. Suzie Weigel, 60, Chattanooga, TN No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful userâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.
Great Sex
Happiness for couples is a satisfying sex life. ďż˝EroxilTM helps most men to perform like in their 20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Evidence of a few hundred testimonials on our web site with full names and towns. All 100% true: ďż˝Eroxil is the best of all the supplements for men Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve tried. Boosts my FOR MEN sex drive and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m able to function anytime. Angus Gutke, 45, Calgary, AB ďż˝Regained virility in 3 days. My libido was restored for good sex. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve GUARANTEED given it also to friends with the same results. One of them is a diabetic and overweight. Dr. Louis Rolland, 72, St. Hyacinthe, QC ďż˝Having orgasms off the Richter scale. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a teenager again. The world owes you big time. Lawrie Roberts, 47, Toronto, ON ďż˝Wonderful to feel like a man again. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful to feel close to my wife again. God bless you! Charles E. Palen, 77, Burnaby, BC. ďż˝Women Yes!

Heartburn Reflux
The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 95% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy 7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box.
� Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC � Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA � Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL � Suffered with reflux, choking and coughing. After starting Bell #39 I feel great. Amazed about the complete relief. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Katarina Tusa, 63, North York, ON �Was sleeping sitting up to avoid reflux. I thought I had this health problem for life like my other family members. Bell #39 #39 brought quick relief. Can sleep now normally, have more energy, feel great. Bell products are quite different.

DWW spells work ethic Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
It’s not every young band that can give Gene Simmons the kiss off, but when Down With Webster said no to his record deal, the Toronto act took their blockbuster status to a new level. Originally formed for a high school talent competition in the well-heeled Toronto suburb The Beaches, the group honed their talents playing block parties, then small clubs before selling out major T Dot hot spots to a fan base developed largely by word of mouth. Over the course of a decade, the seven-member team gradually finetuned their hip hop act, fostering a reputation to see DWW pegged as a guaranteed money-maker, whose 200-song cata-
CONTRIBUTED
TYLER ARMES (third from left) of Down With Webster took on a management role in the early days of the band. Now signed to Motown Records, they are churning out the hits. logue allowed them to play for hours, energy stores out-pacing major recording acts. “We were selling a 1,000 tickets with no songs on the radio,” said Tyler Armes, who took it upon himself to play a management role in the group early on. Now signed by Motown Records—the same label as Michael Jackson—their first EP (issued
in 2009) and follow-up full-length album (October 2011) contain a string of hit singles, making their rise to fame seem effortless. From She’s Dope to Rich Girl$, Your Man, and Big Wheels, each DWW hit strikes a unique chord with more spins on radio than seems possible given their overnight rise from obscurity. But this break-out success story was no acci-
dent, according to Armes who says it was wellplanned and took significant sacrifice. “We have a very dedicated, persistent group of guys who put school aside to do this. It’s like a small company. It’s perfect.” Whether on social media or writing songs, the old adage more hands makes light work seems to be key to their success. Behind the scenes
they’re busy working every angle—Twitter, Facebook, rewriting old songs—to an extent not possible for a single singer/songwriter or duo. The approach has them climbing the charts, raking in Juno nominations, a Canadian Radio Music Award for Best Group or Solo Artist and a MuchMusic Video Award for Pop Video of the Year (2010) along the way.
When asked what their secret is, it would appear this hard work and persistence pitch comes up time and again, but Armes admits there was a little luck involved as well. He was in another Toronto indie act, The Midway State, early on in their development and got a look inside the workings of the music industry. It was enough to give them the motivation and lay-of-the-land needed to see the DWW project through, though getting seven people to turn down university and college, a virtually unheard of decision in their neighbourhood, took some serious confidence and parental placation. “I think a really big moment for us was in 2006. We released a 13song CD that we really invested in. We took out a small loan to buy some lights and a backdrop banner, a couple of really small things a lot of young bands don’t do, to match the aesthetic of the major acts,” Armes said. That business acumen won them management attention which, combined with their evergrowing fan base, ultimately earned them a record deal. (Simmons showed up offering to
sign them as his first act on Simmons Records as Motown was drawing up the papers). Armes said he would like to see the band take on a modern-day Beatles persona, constantly changing and writing about new things and pushing their own boundaries. “I still think, to this day, the best thing is to really just write about what’s going on in your life,” he said. Musically, the band now meshes easily, having put in the work up front on developing material to an extent only bands like Kings of Leon or Hanson might be able to match. “Most of the bands we meet on tour, when we tell them when we formed, their jaws kind of drop,” Armes admitted. “It certainly didn’t happen over night and it wasn’t easy.” For now, they’re still basking in the glory of having played Toronoto’s Massey Hall with a 10piece string section and seven-piece horn accompaniment. Down With Webster plays the Kelowna Community Theatre on Friday, Feb. 24, 8 p.m. Tickets through Select Your Tickets, $35.28.
Safe House provides sanctuary for lovers of the spy genre SAFE HOUSE
This show starts at 9:30 not 9:20 as is listed on the Internet, so I ran out of popcorn before the show started—sad, really. Last Saturday night, I needed a diversion to try to dispel the real sadness of learning about the death of Whitney Houston at age 48, and I thought that Safe House would be a good choice—it was. In the world of lawmakers, a safe house is a place for hiding witnesses, agents or people who may be in danger. In this film, rogue CIA agent Tobin Frost, played by Denzel Washington, has been on the run for years and is being hunted by pretty much everyone. He lands in the American Consulate in South Africa and is taken to a safe house. The house keeper is Matt Weston, (Ryan
Reynolds) a rookBEHIND THE ie agent whose SCREEN field experience is limited. It is into Weston’s world that Tobin comes, and the fun really Susan starts. This is one Steen action-packed adventure from the get-go, with more than the usual plot twists and turns. I have to admit that I am a big spy movie fan, so getting a glimpse into the movie version of the CIA with Sam Shepard playing Harlan Whitford, a division head of the bureau, and
Irish born Brendan Gleeson as David Barker, was just icing on the cake for me. Shepard is a Pulitzer Prize winner who wrote Buried Child in 1979 and also a natural actor. Yes, you need to love spy stuff to enjoy the very real torture scene, the intense and bloody hand-to-hand fighting, the shooting and the car chases—one such chase so extreme that Washington received a black eye while shooting. I really loved this two hours, but I do have to make a couple of observations. I just have to wonder why is there a window in a safe house. Really, do ya’ think someone might just know you’re there? And why is there always parking available for the good guys? I mean really, in front of the stadium on game night—a parking spot? Does that ever really happen?
And finally, does no one ever eat in these shows anymore? Not even a cookie is consumed by these people—48 hours of fighting, chasing and shooting and not even a meal? I speak only for myself when I say, I would not survive the spy game. Best line: “They’ll pat your back, tell you that you did a great job and say, ‘We’ll take it from here,’ and that’s when you know you’re screwed.” This gets five reels from me—but as a note to the guys, this is no chick flick if you are trying to impress your date.

Jennifer Schell Tantalus could not offer a more spectacular setting to dine. Two long, elegant tables were set in the tasting room. With soaring ceilings and one wall of windows looking over the vineyards to the lake and one looking down into the wine cellar, it is as though you are floating on air. The staff at Tantalus are a gracious and passionate team and three of their main players were there: General manager Jane Hatch, winemaker David Paterson and his wife and social media and events coordinator Stephanie Mosley. As well, owner Eric Savics was visiting from Vancouver. Tantalus has participated in the Gold Medal Plates/Canadian Culinary Championships since 2006. The 2007 Canadian Culinary Championships were won by Melissa Craig from Whistler’s Barefoot Bistro, with her entry paired with Tantalus 2005 Riesling. “2010 saw us win Gold Medal Plates in Calgary with chef Duncan Ly,” Jane said, “and together we competed in the CCC
by our local celebrity chef Bernard Casavant and a team from the Wild Apple Restaurant and what a dinner it was. As beautiful as it was delicious, chef Bernard is known for his attention to detail for the eye as well as the palate. Guests were greeted with a glass of stunning Tantalus Rosé and a beautifully arranged plate complete with a cornet of chef’s famous duck fat, rosemary popcorn. The rest of the artfully designed plate featured Sloping Hills Heritage pork cheek terrine with Harker’s Organic plum gastrique, citrusinfused Alaskan halibut “sous vide” with lemon thyme aioli and foraged mushroom cappuccino demitasse. The tables were set with antipasto boards presenting a mouth-watering line up of delights like chef Bernard’s wild boar apricot pate with stone fruit chutney, Poplar Grove tiger blue cheese, Arlo’s honey “clouds” with roasted pears and fresh baked breads paired with the famous Tantalus Riesling (2010). The main course of duck confit was beautifully served in copper pots that were passed around the table and platters fea-
turing three salads perfectly paired with Tantalus Pinot Noir (2010). Dessert of house preserved organic plum clafoutis was paired with a first time creation at Tantalus—Syrah Icewine, which was spectacular. The take away gift boxes housed a mountain berry macaroon and a Syrah Icewine Valrhona Majari chocolate truffle with blackberry basil essence. Chatting with the wide array of chefs from across our country, one word was consistently mentioned when describing their craft: Passion. The same word that ignites our winemakers, it is no wonder that the pairing of these two worlds in our valley has caused the culinary world to take notice. PS: Marc Lepine of Atelier Restaurant in Ottawa, won the prestigious title of Canadian Culinary Champion for 2012. Coming in silver was Rob Feenie, representing the Cactus Club in Vancouver and bronze was awarded to JP St-Denis from Kitchen Gallerie Poisson in Montreal. Jennifer Schell is editor of B.C.

a spectacular meal at Tantalus Vineyards, prepared by Bernard Casavant. held for the first time in Kelowna in 2011. Last November we competed with chef Mark Filatow who prepared an absolutely gorgeous course, in Vancouver. “Our soon-to-be-released 2009 Old Vines Riesling was voted by the judges best wine of the competition by unanimous decision. This is the first time they have included a best wine category.” The evening began with a private tank tasting in the cellar with winemaker David, Jane and Eric. The powerful, concentrated flavour of these grapes is unbelievable. On winemaking, David explained his philosophy of focusing on the purity of the grapes. To achieve this, one has to be “brave enough to leave the grapes alone” to do their thing. I sampled the new Chardonnay that will be released this spring as well as the beautiful Rosé and was smitten. David will also be making an old vines Riesling bubbly that will be available spring 2014. I suggest getting on the list for the bubbles now as well as signing up for news on spring releases. www.tantalus.ca Dinner was prepared

A Wildly Contemporary High Energy Blend of Celtic and Punjabi Music
Delhi 2 Dublin continues to break the mold with the release of its new genre-busting album, Planet Electric, on May 4 2010. It’s as if the band has been sent on a mission to further spread their sound across the planet and out into the galaxy. They describe Planet Electric “as the buzz of the world that they are plugging into some large socket to electrify the people, to charge up their energy”. To capture that dynamism, all of the tracks on the album were road-tested in front of live audiences before being recorded. Something else the band did differently from the last album was going on a writers’ retreat where they worked on the music day and night for ten days straight. The results are definitely more representative of Delhi 2 Dublin as a band and a noticeable progression. The icing on the cake was being able to get Diamond “DJ Swami” Duggal (Apache Indian/Maxi Priest/Nusrat Fateh Ali) to mix the tracks.

pink ribbon-related marketing to increase sales while contributing only a small fraction of proceeds to the cause. It also explores how companies that pollute or sell products containing dangerous chemicals use “pink washing” to polish their images and even shape the direction of cancer research. The film argues that not enough funding is going towards prevention as the vast majority goes to finding a cure but only small improvements have been made in chemotherapy and surgery treatments. The film had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall where it was named one of the top 10 films and has received strong reviews from Maclean’s, the Toronto Star and even Variety. It is showing at the Paramount Theatre starting tomorrow. Oscar nominee Michelle Williams is the standout in My Week with Marilyn, in which she transforms herself into Marilyn Monroe. It is set in 1956 when Monroe was married to playwright Arthur Miller, and was shooting her movie The Prince And The Showgirl with Sir Laurence Olivier. However, it is the story of 23-year-old Colin Clark, a lowly assistant on the set of the movie, and how he spent an idyllic week with Monroe, escorting her around England and showing her some of the pleasures of British life.

Volunteer Centre: Building community Dawn Wilkinson CONTRIBUTOR
Community means a sense of belonging, caring and providing for one another. By feeding, clothing and loving people in Kelowna, we are building our community. On Good Friday, April 6 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., the annual Easter Pancake Breakfast will be held at Parkinson Recreation Centre. About 2,500 guests are expected. “My mind is filled with memories of smiling faces, laughter and
families eating and playing together,” says Pastor Diana Tripke of Victory Life Fellowship. “Community support has been amazing over the years.” There will be a pancake breakfast, new and used clothing, Easter egg hunt with 10,000 candyfilled eggs, prizes, children’s activities and fun for the whole family— and it’s all for free. The reason this event can be offered free is be-
cause individuals and businesses donate for the greater good. What part can you play? You can volunteer for the Easter egg hunt, children’s activities, clothing area, food preparation and serving, security, greeting or parking lot. You can give ‘stuff’ like door prizes or new and clean used clothing. Men’s and children’s clothing are in great demand. Gifts of money are needed to buy the necessary ingredients for a fun
event. You can give online at www.victorylifefellowship.net. You can also pray for this event. Volunteer or donate by contacting Victory Life, the lead organization, at 250-862-3044. Your donations can be dropped off by April 3 at Victory Life’s office at 1635 Bertram St. or LAZ-Boy Furniture at 1031850 Spall Rd. The Easter Pancake Breakfast is one of a great number of special events available in our community throughout the year.

BRUCE FREDERICK HAMILTON
June 27, 1944 - February 8, 2012 The families of Bruce are saddened with his passing, but know that he is finally pain free. Bruce was predeceased by his parents Tom and Muriel Hamilton, brother Brian and second wife Millie. He is remembered by his children Doug Hamilton (Janine), Shane Andrews, and Joanne Eberle (David), his grandchildren Jennifer, Katie, Orla, and Katie, great grandson Carter, and first wife Margaret Andrews. Bruce shall be missed by sister Gail McCutcheon (Bob), nieces Carey Adams (Mike) and Sheri Basedo (Kristen), great niece Ryley and nephews Mason and Sanjay. Millie’s children shall also miss Grandpa Bruce: Linda Dinicolo, Anna Swanson ( Doug), Simone McDonald, Sandra Moore (Phil), Michelle Cure, and Allan Cure (Patti); grandchildren Stephanie, BJ, Jen, Bryan, Doug, Brad, Aaron, Christopher, JJ, Erikka, Crystal and Vanessa; and great grandchildren Chloe, Olivia, and Blaise. His long time companion Sue Wilson, along with her family, will find an empty spot in their lives. Marcia Wilson (Klaus Mey), Rob and Rachel Wilson, and grandchildren Alex, Kate, Jacob, Charlie and Nate. Bruce was a long time employee of Finning Canada as a heavy duty mechanic, and upon retirement took up wood-working. No project was too hard to tackle- from a doll highchair to a dining room buffet- all made with perfection and love. For the walkers of Riverside and Pioneer Parks- you shall miss his wonderful smile and determination walking five days a week, rain or shine, wind or snow. The park staff shall also miss checking their watches- same place, same time each day. As a long time Kamloops Blazers Fan, Bruce was able to listen to the Kamloops vs Tri Cities Game on the 8th and this made his last few hours so much more enjoyable. Thanks guys for doing so well this year. The families would like to thank Dr. Paul Farrell and Dr. James Baughan for the wonderful care they gave Bruce. For this the families shall always be grateful. Many thanks for all your kind thoughts these past months. Remember Bruce’s quirky smile. A Celebration of Life shall be held at 2 pm, Friday, February 17th 2012, Chapters Viewpoint, Lower Floor, 610 West Columbia Street Kamloops. Donations may be made to the charity of your choice in honour of Bruce. Arrangements entrusted to Kamloops Funeral Home 250-554-2577 Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

A Winter Heritage Hike and Winter Heritage Picnic are two ways that West Kelowna regional parks are helping residents celebrate Heritage Week. On Saturday, Feb. 25, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., residents are invited to join a park interpreter for a free guided hike along Trepanier Creek in the region’s newest regional park. The two-hour outing will highlight local history and show off the natural beauty of Trepanier Creek Greenway Regional Park, located just off Trepanier Road near the Okanagan Connector Highway 97-C. Then, on Sunday, Feb. 26, families are invited to Gellatly Nut Farm Regional Park to take in the Winter Heritage Picnic. Families are encouraged to bring a picnic lunch to the event, which runs from 11 a.m. to 2 j p.m. Warm beverages will be provided, along with free winter games. Special gift certificate prizes will be provided by McDonald’s Restaurants. Those interested in the hike can pre-register through the Environmental Education Center of the Okanagan by calling 250469-6140. For more information about all of the Heritage Week events, visit the Central Okanagan Heritage Society website at www.okheritagesociety. com.

Economic development, infrastructure, community enhancement and services are the four areas that West Kelowna will focus on over the next three years. On Tuesday, the District of West Kelowna council unanimously adopted its 2012 to 2014 Strategic Priorities Plan. According to Mayor Doug Findlater, council met a number of times, in a workshop format, to put together the Strategic Priorities Plan. “It was very timely, post-election, because you hear all kinds of things during an election—(that) you’re doing the right thing or you should consider (something else),” said Findlater. “There are a lot of fresh ideas here. Personally, I’m very confident that this plan reflects the needs of our citizens and (sets) a realistic agenda for our municipality as we go forward.” Chief administrative officer Jason Johnson said that there are several priorities associated with economic development. “The goal is to ensure a positive business climate with a vibrant downtown, productive relations with neighbours and local job opportunities,” said Johnson. “The number one priority for council is the Westbank centre, including looking at catalyst programs and looking at implementing the Westbank Centre Plan.” Other economic development priorities included developing an industrial park strategy, implementing the DWK Economic Development Plan, making development services more efficient and implementing a tourism strategy. The second strategic priority is to provide infrastructure—including roads, water, sewer, storm drainage and sidewalks—to meet community needs. Johnson said the top priority under the infrastructure heading is to complete a Stormwater Utility Plan, which will look at addressing the Casa Loma drainage issue as well as Green Bay drainage, complete the Sewer Servicing Strategy and complete the Water Master Plan in the upcoming year. Community enhancement is the third priority for the DWK. The goal is to enhance the community by creating affordable and liveable neighbourhoods, thriving community centres and recreational opportunities while ensuring the protection of the environment. Finalizing the Land Acquisition Strategy, implementing the waterfront plan and working on better relationships with other governments were the top three community enhancement priorities for the district. Finally, West Kelowna council identified services as the fourth priority, the three key areas under that heading to be public safety, customer service and communications. “Council will also be looking at the Strategic Priorities Plan in November of this year, to update it once again to reflect the remaining two-year term and to reconfirm the upcoming priorities for 2013,” said Johnson.

WESTSIDE ▼ WESTBANK MUSEUM
DWK kicks in for full-time manager Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
After postponing an initial decision during the grants-in-aid process, the District of West Kelowna agreed to provide the Westbank Museum with an additional $15,465 to help them fund a fulltime staff person with managerial experience. The grant-in-aid request from the museum will be added to its existing contract with the district of $57,020 for 2012. Margaret Jackson, of the Westbank Museum, explained to district council why the museum needed the district’s help in attaining a qualified full-time manager to help tout with the museum’s ambitious
goals. “To go forward, the museum needs strong management leadership with diversified skill,” Jackson told council on Tuesday. The district’s contribution will help the museum to offer a paycheque that is “closer to industry standards,” according to Jackson. She went on to give a long list of requirements that the museum board is hoping this qualified individual will have. She also explained several projects and problems that the museum is planning to work on in the future. Jackson said that she sees the museum as the “front porch of the community.” “We engage people, welcome them, give them overviews of what’s special and what’s unique
about West Kelowna,” said Jackson. “We have treasure troves of the attics, we preserve and value meaningful, rare and unusual objects and images that are displayed and interpreted for the history of the West Kelowna area, its people and their cultural traditions.” Mayor Doug Findlater said that he is happy with the work the museum has been doing. “Having been somebody that was involved with heritage in a previous career, I am very pleased with what I see at the museum. “It’s a very classy small town museum and I really appreciate the work that everyone has put into it,” said Findlater.

he B.C. Court of Appeal, in a decision released last week, has given its endorsement to an important application of common sense by a trial judge. The victim, Ms. Morlan, was 46 years old at the time she was injured. She was 50 years old at the time of the trial that took place in Vancouver in November, 2010. Like the vast majority of car crash victims, Ms. Morlan had sustained “soft tissue injuries.” It is unusual, with the use of seat belts, to suffer a “hard tissue injury” such as a bone fracture. As all too commonly occurs, the soft tissue injuries developed into a

Paul Hergott chronic pain condition. That condition had plateaued, meaning that it had stabilized. She managed her pain with both prescription and over-the-counter medication. Ms. Morlan was a “workaholic” executive secretary who had missed only a day and a half of work as a result of her injuries. She did not claim any
income loss to the date of the trial. The main issue on appeal was whether or not Ms. Morlan should be compensated for the possibility that she might lose income in the future. It’s a difficult issue. Nobody has a crystal ball. Perhaps she will be able to continue working right through to her normal retirement. Perhaps she will find it more and more difficult to do so as she gets older. The trial judge applied what the Court of Appeal described as “common sense.” In the trial judge’s words: “…common experience dictates that as one moves into one’s lat-

Many don’t know that they have osteoporosis until the damage has been done. With that in mind, the Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy is doing its part to help local residents identify osteoporosis so they can know their risk of breaking bones before the fact. From Feb. 28 to March 15, Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy locations in West Kelowna and Kelowna will be offering free bone density screening clinics. According to pharmacist Paolo Sales, women, especially those who are post menopausal, should take advantage of the opportunity. “In women—especially after menopause— the bone density will inevitably just keep going down. The lower it gets, the more at risk people are to get fractures,” said Sales. “The problem is, nobody knows that it’s happening. You just suddenly notice you’re shorter than you originally were or you’re suddenly stooping more. “Otherwise, there are no physical symptoms that are noticeable.” Sales explained that the screening is quick and painless.

Osteoporosis is a serious disease characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue. Millions of Canadians suffer from osteoporosis - including 1 in 4 women over the age of 50. Hip fractures; 70% of which are osteoporosis related; can result in death in up to 20% of cases and disability in 50% of those that survive.

and that, over time, such pain will have a detrimental effect on a person’s ability to work, regardless of what accommodations an employer is prepared to make.” The Court of Appeal did reduce the trial judge’s compensation award, but upheld a significant portion of it on the strength of that application of common sense. In the result, Ms. Morlan ended up with $275,000 of compensation for her loss of future earning capacity. Remember, this is a lady who stoically worked right through to the day of trial, missing only a day and a half of work. You can find the trial decision as well as the decision of the Court of Appeal by going to www. courts.gov.bc.ca and typing “Morlan” into the “Case Name” search bar.

ter years the ability to work in spite of a condition that drains one’s energy diminishes.” The trial judge relied on that common sense notion, as well as other factors, to make a substantial award to compensate Ms. Morlan for a loss of future earning capacity. The insurance company appealed. One of the arguments made by the lawyer representing the insurance company was that it was not open to the trial judge to have regard to “common experience” as there was no evidence to support it. The Court of Appeal disagreed. Quoting from the Court of Appeal decision: “Accepting that, to use the expression used at trial and at the hearing of this appeal, Ms. Morlan’s condition had ‘plateaued,’ the fact remains that she would suffer from debilitating chronic pain along with headaches, symptoms that could be reduced, but not eliminated, by medication. “In other words, throughout each and every day of her life, Ms. Morlan would have to cope with some level of discomfort. “In my view, it was open to the trial view to find—essentially as a matter of common sense —that constant and continuous pain takes its toll

“We offer a 15 to 30 minute screening (using) an ultrasound machine. We (use) it on the hand or the arm and then sound waves go through the skin, through the bone. The computer uses the amount of sound coming back to compute the bone density. It’s very non-invasive.” Although women have the highest risk of getting osteoporosis, one in eight men over the age of 50 have the disease. In men, the underlying causes of osteoporotic bone loss are twofold: Declining levels of testosterone and insufficient calcium intake. “Men get under diagnosed because the rates are much lower.” Sales also said that the peak bone density is reached during the teenage years. “If you had poor calcium consumption, you didn’t drink milk when you were young or you didn’t go out for sports, (that) was your opportunity to build the most bone density. It slowly goes down from then.” Although the definitive schedule has not been set for when the ultrasound machine will be available at each location, Sales said they are accepting bookings now. Space for the screenings is limited. To book an appointment, call 250707-2952. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com
Driver sent to hospital Edge from A33 allegedly looked like a Cadillac Escalade, had struck a black Chevrolet Corvette, sending it down the embankment. The driver of the Corvette, a 47-year-old West Kelowna man, was stopped on the side of the road, waiting for some sheep to cross, when the larger vehicle came around the corner and apparently bumped him off the road. According to Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark, the driver was able to escape his car, but he tumbled down the embankment causing injuries to his torso. The driver of the silver Escalade is asked to call the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880.
