▼ SNELSON TRIAL
Pastor testifies Snelson was aware of Cusworth link Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Neil Snelson confided to his pastor suspicions that police were following him because of a sexual encounter he had had with Jennifer Cusworth, weeks before investigators showed up at his door. Lee Loveridge, the First Lutheran church’s associate pastor who was called as a Crown witness for Snelson’s first degree murder trial Friday, recalled that the congregation member booked an appointment May 28, 2009, to speak about issues he was having with his family life. Top of the list of topics, Loveridge recalled, was that Snelson suspected police were tracking him. “He was reasoning through, and the only reason he would be followed was because he was at a party with Jennifer Cusworth in 1993,” Loveridge said. Loveridge, who was new to the area, was unfamiliar with the investigation that started Oct. 17, 1998, when Cusworth’s body was found facedown in several inches of water, in a ditch on Swamp Road. Snelson explained to Loveridge there were hundreds of people at the Richter Street party, Oct. 16, 1993, and he’d been drinking heavily. Although he was married to his first wife at the time, he told his pastor he’d had sex with another woman. “It was embarrassing thinking back on mistakes. Having sex…being unfaithful to his wife at the time,” Loveridge said of what he gleaned from the conversation. “What I remember most was he was concerned for the well being of his family.” Loveridge said he encouraged Snelson to confront fears about how his family would react to the news. “I encouraged him to share with his wife. I said, ‘If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about,’” Loveridge said. Snelson’s defence lawyer, Wade Jenson, then asked the pastor if the conversation led him to understand that Snelson had had sex with Cusworth.
HOSPITAL CONNECTION…
Kelowna General Hospital construction crews dropped the walkway bridge link between the hospital and a new medical services building extending across Pandosy Street over the weekend. The 140-foot span was lowered into place by a special crane, with only about four inches of leeway to work with. The procedure took about 90 minutes to complete on Saturday morning.

Future of Okanagan water use at stake
Reader survey online offers great prize
Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
The stakes are high: In a valley with the least water per capita of all water basins in Canada, there are many who want their interests to be top priority, including residents of the U.S. and trans-boundary native bands. For the opening this week’s international Water Science Forum in Osoyoos, Osoyoos Band Chief Clarence Louie said: “The Okanagan Nation wants to work with you to ensure we can always swim in these waters and eat the fish in these waters.” But he was blunt as well: “Either you invite us in the door or we’re going to kick down the door.” By way of explanation, he pointed to history and warned, “We’re not going to just stand on the sidelines again. We won’t be silent. We will have as much of a say as anyone else in the future.” He told of the opening in the last century of the
Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River, where the Indians were invited to don their traditional regalia and attend the opening ceremony, even though they had not been consulted when the white man decided to erect that barrier to fish passage up the river and into the Okanagan Valley, prohibiting the salmon from migrating. He said that on Thursday, the valley’s chiefs will meet in Westbank to discuss the water that flows down the valley and across the border. He noted that the international boundary is an imaginary line dividing the Okanagan peoples, so that today the Colville Tribes are in the U.S. and the Okanagan Nation are in Canada, where once they were one. And, when Chuck Brushwood spoke for the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, he added: “We are all salmon people and salmon need water.” Louie explained that the salmon “indicate
whether we’re doing our job. We have to pay attention. They’re an important part of our lives.” Plants and animals require good water and they are the first to suffer, he said. “It all starts with water.” Okanagan MLA John Slater agreed it’s all about the water, and also that there’s only one water source serving an area from Vernon to Oroville, Wash. “We need to control it. We need drinkable water to take care of our future. Water is the number one restriction on growth. If we screw this up we’ll be in big trouble,” Slater warned. From south of the border, Washington Senator Bob Morton noted they’re already having difficulties with water supply in his state. Some of the challenges include the need for more power production and dams to store B.C.’s spring runoff for agricultural production on the U.S. side of the border, he
OSOYOOS Band Chief Clarence Louie at the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre, where the opening of the Osoyoos Lake Water Science Forum took place Sunday. The forum continues through Tuesday. JUDIE STEEVES/ CAPITAL NEWS
said. “By 2050, we’ll need to double agricultural production to feed our own nations and the nations
of the world. Fresh water is our greatest asset. It’s more precious than gold,” he added. The forum concludes
today, with scientists and lay people from both sides of the border making presentations on water issues. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com
Diversified water use demands raising conflicts Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Management of water use in the entire Okanagan Valley should become part of the orders governing Osoyoos Lake, so that needs for water south of the border can be met, believes at least one scientist reporting to the International Joint Commission. Michael Barber is a professor at Washington State University and director of the Washington Water Research Centre. He was speaking Monday at the Osoyoos Lake Water Science Forum, where more than 150 citizens and scientists from all levels of government and the private sector are gathering this week to discuss the Okanagan basin’s supplies of water. Topics during the three-day forum

centre around the operating orders for the level of Osoyoos Lake, which are determined by an agreement reached between the Canadian and U.S. members of the IJC. The last agreement was nearly 25 years ago and it’s up for renewal in February 2013. One of the more contentious proposals for change to those orders comes from a contingent of scientists at WSU, including Barber. “Basin-wide water management must be used to meet demands. Solutions don’t stop at the border. We have to look at managing upstream uses,” Barber stated. In addition, he suggested that alternative sources of water be researched, since Osoyoos Lake is a small storage lake with little room for variance in water level without impacting recreational use or shoreline residents.

“Osoyoos Lake has limited storage capacity for all the demands,” he commented, in proposing that flows be the basis for orders governing the transboundary waterway instead of lake level. In making the recommendation, Barber said he looked at what volumes of water would be needed by 2040 to meet the demand for irrigation, domestic and in-stream/fish needs. During drought years, he noted that 90 per cent of the demand is for fisheries requirements. Osoyoos Mayor Stu Wells, who is also chair of the Okanagan Basin Water Board, said such a proposal concerns him, particularly when in southern Washington officials are looking at diverting water from the Columbia River to replace shortages resulting from aquifers that are drying up, leaving farmers short of water.
Another one of Monday’s speakers, Jim Mattison, a consultant with Urban Systems, recommended that the commission amend its definition of what is a drought year, when water level requirements are more flexible, since in half of the past 24 years, a drought has been declared. In four of those, it was actually rescinded, he noted, but nonetheless, normally droughts don’t occur that frequently. His review was conducted jointly with water engineer Don Dobson and fisheries biologist Brian Jantz. Further complicating the discussion about Osoyoos Lake water levels is the impact the freshet from the Similkameen River has once it enters the Okanagan River downstream from Osoyoos Lake. In some high-water years, it can actually cause water to back up into Osoyoos Lake.

Council wants HOV lane rules limited to certain times Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna council would like to see changes
made to the existing High Occupancy Vehicle lanes on Highway 97. At its meeting Monday, council voted to sup-
port a move to limit HOV rules in the lanes to certain times of the day. The lanes, which have been in use in Kelowna
for the last two years, were originally installed to aid the new bus rapid transit route which currently runs from downtown to UBCO along the highway with limited stops. Mayor Sharon Shepherd said because of that, she would like to see the word transit used as well as HOV on the signs that designate the right-hand lanes of the highway through the city. But while council voted to support an hour-ofday use change for the lanes, not all councillors are fans of the lanes. Both Couns. Graeme James and Andre Blanleil said they don’t like the lanes and believe a majority of Kelowna residents agree with them. Both men said while the lanes reportedly aid three per cent of the driving public, they hinder 97
per cent. “I don’t think that the HOV lanes are doing their jobs,” said James. He said with better planning and the expansion of the Central Okanagan Bypass route, a lot of traffic could be taken off Highway 97. Blanleil agreed, saying three lanes of moving traffic on the highway would help all drivers who use the highway, including those who drive buses. But a majority of councillors said providing a lane for buses that allows them a free flow not only helps relieve traffic in the other two lanes but also provides for a better transit system. “It’s success is based on getting people from one point to another quickly,” said Coun. Angela Reid-Nagy. Murray Tekano, with
the transportation ministry, told council the aim of the HOV lane is to move people, not provide a fast lane for traffic. He said currently 23 per cent of traffic on the highway uses the HOV lanes and just over half of that are vehicles with the required two or more occupants. But he added rightturners are included in those numbers and it should not be considered a large number of people break the rules. But while he said the ministry believes the HOV lanes are working here, he conceded the ministry is talking to the city and B.C. Transit about moving to an hour-of-day use. That would allow all traffic to use the lanes during non-peak traffic hours, such as at night and very early in the morning.
Asked about RCMP enforcement of the lane rules—only vehicles with two or more occupants are allowed to use the lanes unless the vehicle in question is turning right—Tekano said he has not asked the RCMP for any information about how many tickets have been handed out for HOV lane abuse. In addition to supporting hour-of-day use, council also wants to hear from local emergency services about the benefits of the lanes and from B.C. Transit, whose drivers also have the ability to manipulate traffic signals on the highway as they approach intersections. Any decision about a change to HOV lanes will have to be made by the transportation ministry, as it controls the highway through Kelowna. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

For Kelowna city council, success, when it comes to the planned revitalization of Bernard Avenue, will be that the same businesses that are along the street at the start of the project are still there when the work wraps up in two years time. On Monday, council sat down with the consultant who has been contracted to come up with a communications plan for the project. Councillors made it clear it’s important the public know that despite the work and the closure of parts of the road downtown to traffic over a two-year period, businesses on Bernard Avenue will remain open. “People will think all of Bernard Avenue is closed,” said Coun. Andre Blanleil. A business owner himself, Blanleil said he has been through two similar major road projects in other
communities that directly affected his stores and said large projects such as the one planned for Bernard Avenue, from Richter Street to the lakeshore, can be hard on the businesses affected. “There will be a loss of business,” he said. “Letting people know what is open and when (particular parts of the road) will be open is crucial,” said Blanleil. The city plans to tear up Bernard Avenue in two phases over a twoyear period starting next spring. The work is needed to repair and improve infrastructure below the road and beautify the street above ground. A vote by merchants along the affected blocks of Bernard Avenue to determine if they are willing to pay 25 per cent of the beautification work is set to wrap up Oct. 3. On Monday council agreed that informative, regular and timely communication and updates,
both for the merchants and the public will be important to make sure businesses can stay open during the lengthy construction period. It will also be critical for the project to stay on time and on budget so as to limit the disruption as much as possible. Suggestions made by council included clear and “friendly” signs encouraging the public to shop in the area and making sure the area remains open to pedestrians. Also, inviting the public down to see what is happening was suggested as was the use of lanes behind business that front onto Bernard Avenue. The use of reader boards and signs directing people to local businesses were also suggested. The company hired to develop the communications strategy, Shift Consulting, did a similar job a few years ago for Banff when it tore up its main street, one of the top tourist draws in Western Canada.

Move over leather and lace, fashion designer Jennifer Rempel’s silky orange and chartreuse gowns pack a bold woman’s leathery punch in a silky traditional exterior. “It’s my vision of a strong woman,” says Rempel, who has designed a clothing line to showcase everything she’s learned in her 24-month fashion design and merchandising program at the Centre for Arts and Technology. The line features leather belts and necklines mixed with more traditional evening gown fabrics and should catch the eye of prospective clients as she launches a career designing clothes right here in Kelowna upon graduation. Showcasing this week-
end, Rempel’s fellow fashion design students will partner with CATO’s event planning students to host an event that both illustrates their talents and helps others develop the same. Using a silent auction to collect bids, the students will raise money for bursaries future students can use to supplement their education, placing clothing from a number of local shops on the auction block after showcasing each look on stage. The show is divided into two sections—one highlighting local clothing shops’ wares and one highlighting the fashion students’ own designs. On display will be items from Frakas, Influence, Raw’69 Athletics and Asphault Shoes. Local dancers will also provide entertainment. Tickets for A Fashionable Autumn are $25

ur common law of wrongful dismissal establishes most employees’ entitlement to notice of termination (or pay in lieu) based, primarily, on the employee’s tenure. What some employers don’t know is that a court may regard that tenure is continuous despite breaks in service. When an employee has served the employer for two (or more) discrete periods, the employee will (upon termination) tend to claim damages based on the total length of the combined periods of service. The employer will often oppose that method of calculation, insisting that only the most recent portion of service should be counted. The courts are called upon to resolve this stalemate. Two recent court decisions demonstrate judges’ willingness to overlook even lengthy breaks in service when determining an employee’s tenure. In B.C., Graham was an employee of Galaxie Signs Ltd. until 2007 but, between 2002 and 2004, he had worked elsewhere. He returned to Galaxie, after his two year break, on the basis that his seniority would be maintained.
YOU WORK HERE
Robert Smithson After the termination of his employment in 2007 he sued for damages for wrongful dismissal. In doing so, he relied upon the premise that his period of service should include the pre-2002 period. Galaxie took the view that the only relevant period for calculating his entitlements was the post2004 period. The B.C. Supreme Court agreed with Graham that his period of service should include the pre-2002 period with the result that he was treated as a 14-year employee. The court accepted the evidence of Graham that a verbal commitment was made by Galaxie that his past service would be recognized for all purposes—“it will be like you
never left�—including that of calculating severance. As a result, Graham was awarded 10 months pay in lieu of notice. In Ontario, Brien had been an employee of Niagara Motors Limited for 23 years. There was, however, a two-year break in service after Brien had her second child. After the termination of her employment, she sued for wrongful dismissal damages and, in doing so, sought to rely upon her entire 23 years of service. The Ontario Court of Appeal rejected Niagara’s assertion that a shorter period of service should be considered. It stated that Brien “was invited back after two years even though she was not on official maternity leave.� She was “reintegrated into the employer’s employment as if she had never left.� As an example of that “reintegration,� the court referred to her having been given two weeks va-
cation within the first year without first working for 12 months as a new employee would have to. As a result, Brien’s entire 23 years of service was taken into account in determining that her entitlement to pay in lieu of service was 24 months. The best method for an employer to insulate itself against such claims is to address the period of service issue at the time when the employee is rehired (not when he or she is later fired). Simply documenting in the hiring materials, with evidence of the employee’s acceptance, that prior periods of service will not be recognized for any purpose goes a long way towards stopping such claims in their tracks.

few hours the slain teen was seen alive. Pamela Coulombe, 40, told jurors for the first degree murder trial of Neil Snelson, that she ran into Cusworth, who she’d been close friends with since 1988, at an Oct. 16, 1993, after-party on Richter Street. “She came up right away and said, ‘Oh, I’m so glad you’re here,’” Coulombe testified, noting that it was just after 2 a.m. and Cusworth was standing to the right of the front doorway. Cusworth, she said, had a bottle of Sambuca she had brought to the house earlier that night, and the two went into the kitchen, poured a shot and drank it. Then they, as well as three other friends, clustered together to tour around the two-bedroom apartment to see if they knew anyone there. At that time in the mor-
ning, she said, the gathering was small—only 15 to 20 people—and populated by long-haired, headbangers. It wasn’t Coulombe’s usual preppy crowd, she explained, but Cusworth was having a good time and was “snuggly and cuddly,” which indicated she’d been imbibing. “(She) appeared to be drunk,” said Coulombe. “She wasn’t touchy feely when she wasn’t drinking, but she’d grab me and put me in a headlock. She was just there. She wasn’t like that with anyone else.” In just over an hour, by 3:45 a.m., Coulombe was ready to call it a night, but not before arranging plans for Cusworth to crash at her house. “Jennifer wanted to stay (at the party), she was having fun,” she said, adding a mutual friend of theirs agreed to take her back to her Bernard Av-

enue apartment, which was closer than her aunt and uncle’s house, where she was living. As Coulombe was leaving, cabs filled with people were starting to pull up to the house and Cusworth was again standing at the doorway to the Richter Street house, where the two hugged goodbye. Cusworth was found the next day, face down in a ditch on Swamp Road. Following her testimony, a visibly shaken Coulombe was stopped by the slain girl’s mother, Jean Cusworth, who held her as she cried. Coulombe was one of several witnesses Crown called over the last week to talk about the party, and their memory of the role Cusworth played within that setting. The bottle of Sambuca has been mentioned by everyone from Cusworth’s uncle to Erik Mikkelsen, the man who held the party that night and acquaintance Marc Watzlawik. To date, the handful of Crown witnesses who testified they had contact
with Cusworth that night, also have consistently remembered the young woman smiling, laughing and having a generally good time. Many have placed her at the house doorway around 4 a.m. Also testifying about the party Monday was Bart Ciancone, 45. He had driven Snelson’s truck to the party after the bar closed, because the accused was staggering drunk. From that point forward, Ciancone said his memories were sparse. The party, he said, was really crowded with people who listened to “hard music.” Snelson, he said, spent most of his time in the hallway leading to the living room. When they left, with two others who Ciancone couldn’t remember the identity of, Snelson drove. All he remembers from that ride is someone sitting on his lap, then getting out of the passenger side door and saying, “Nice meeting you.” The trial is scheduled for three more weeks. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com.

“I think that was implied…I don’t know if it was ever stated,” said Loveridge. When investigators arrived at his door June 18, 2009, Snelson said he had sex with a woman all those years ago, but didn’t know her identity. He added that he didn’t know who Cusworth was, and hadn’t seen her at either the Richter Street party or at Iggyz, a local bar they’d both been at earlier. Loveridge’s testimony closed day three of the trial, which earlier focused on the testimony from Dr. Ron Roy, a pathologist who conducted the autopsy on Cusworth’s body on Oct. 18, 1993. Roy testified Cusworth died from receiving several blows to the back of her head, although there was also evidence of manual strangulation. He surmised it was likely a metal rod—like a tire iron or a piece of hardwood—that would have caused the deadly blows. The teen also had evidence of bruising along her lips, that Roy said indicated she was punched or slapped. She did not have defensive wounds on her arms, or material under her nails. Explaining how that could be, Roy said that Cusworth had a blood alcohol level of .17, which would have meant she was extremely intoxicated and unable to put up a good defence. She would have had slurred speech, staggered, poor control of her movements and poor judgement, said Roy. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ COPYRIGHT PROTECTION
UBCO profs cut off the Internet Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
When Christopher Schneider, an assistant professor of sociology at UBCO, takes the microphone this weekend at the school’s Community Day, his lecture on the Vancouver Riots will likely run without reference to the main instigator— Internet chatter. Like every other professor on the campus—not to mention thousands more across the country— Schneider doesn’t know whether the specific reference points he wants to show have copyright protection anymore now that the university’s relationship with Access Copyright is broken. Last month, the copyright collective and nearly three dozen postsecondary institutions failed to come to an agreement as the collective tightened the reins on Internet copyright, according to national news reports. “What it’s doing is turning us all into our own copyright lawyers, which is problematic because most all of us aren’t lawyers,” said Schneider. The problem surfaced this spring when Access Copyright, which acted as a middleman between educational institutions and the publishing industry for nearly two decades, announced it would extend its reach to cover Internet links, and upped the fee for service from $3.38 per student to $45, to cover the costs of maintaining copyright in an online era. Up to that time, universities across the country had always paid
the nominal fee, plus a 10-cent surcharge on photocopies. Access Copyright handled any and all interactions with the copyright holders, leaving professors free to show diagrams, provide reference material in course packages and generally send their students back to the books and Internet sites needed to understand class material. But late this summer, many universities, including UBC, decided the Access Copyright services no longer fit their means and pulled out, leaving individual professors almost no time to learn the new ropes and adjust their teaching material. “Now, unless you have written permission from the person who owns the copyright, you can’t use it,” said Schneider. For him, this means the paper he just wrote on Napster, is out—the copyright is no longer his. It also likely means many of the Facebook references and posted videos he might have shown to explain how the Vancouver riots got started are likely off limits—although he admits he’s really not sure. “That’s the problem. Nobody really knows,” he said, adding the students are the real losers as professors are simply pulling their material. UBC’s legal department in Vancouver, the body tasked with handling inquiries on the issue, could not be reached for comment Monday. The professors, meanwhile, have been provided with a seminar on the issue and one point-person in the UBCO library to deal with questions. The course packets, in-
class presentations and articles that might have been put on hold in the library—even Internet IP addresses—must now come under scrutiny as each individual prof negotiates the rule changes. “We’re being told Access Copyright will hire students, and possibly even faculty members, to report anyone who is thought to be breaking the Copyright Act,” said Schneider, noting it feels like a return to the McCarthy era in the U.S. when the intellectual community was persecuted under the auspice of being Communist sympathizers. The penalty for breaking copyright can be a personal lawsuit for a professor. While it may not be jail, as Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Blacklist threatened in the 1950s, it’s still a pretty steep price for simply doing one’s job, he said. He knows of one history professor who has had to redraw maps and diagrams by hand because they cannot find the person responsible for copyright on the material, and says he would be really worried if he was an art history prof trying to sort through a lifetime’s worth of slide images. A spokesperson for Access Copyright could not be reached on deadline, but the company’s legal council has told other news agencies it believes an agreement could have been reached with the schools. Locally, Okanagan College remains in the agreement, meaning instructors are free to hand out reference material as they have always done. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com
Shooting reprisal link investigated The shooting of a man in Surrey Friday may be linked to the gangland slaying of Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna last month. Jujhar Singh KhunKhun is a member of the Dhak group, which is linked to a few other local gangs believed to be in opposition to the Hells Angels. Police received a call of a shooting at 9:30 p.m. Friday in the 10100-block of 144 Street. They arrived to find Khun-Khun shot. He was taken to hospital where he remains in critical condition. Sgt. Bill Whalen with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) and Gang Task force, said Monday that police are investigat-
ing links to the Kelowna shooting. On Aug. 14, four people were shot outside the Delta Grand Hotel in Kelowna. Red Scorpion Jonathan Bacon was killed and others were injured, including Larry Amero of the White Rock Hells Angels. A Gang Task Force media release on Sept. 7 indicated police had information that something retaliatory was going to happen. “To date, intelligence and information indicates that tensions amongst rival gangs have increased exponentially since the Kelowna shooting and it’s no longer a question of if retaliation will occur, but
when,” the task force said. “The potential for a violent reprisal is not restricted to any one community, and can occur anywhere at anytime.” The release said at that time, the Gang Task Force had assigned 65 officers to address the tensions arising from the Kelowna shooting. Whalen said there’s always a possibility the Dhak group will try to strike back after Khun-
Khun’s shooting. Khun-Khun made news in Surrey in 2007 after his 19-year-old fianceé was killed when she fell from the moving SUV he was driving. No charges were laid in that case. The same year, KhunKhun was sentenced, along with an associate, to three years in prison for kidnapping and robbing a truck driver—an incident the judge called “random, brazen and senseless.”

NATURAL
FACTS
by Dr David Wikenheiser
My Peru Medical Mission Last August I spent my summer vacation on a medical mission to Lima Peru, learning and treating people with Prolotherapy. I am a member of the American Association of Orthopaedic Medicine (AAOM) and they claim to be the number one organization in the world that trains doctors in Prolotherapy, a Regenerative Injection Treatment. The AAOM offers great training at its annual convention, annual weekend workshops, and at its week long workshops at medical missions in Mexico, Honduras, and now in Lima Peru. These week long teaching missions are clearly the best way to learn classic as well as the newest techniques in Prolotherapy. I offer several forms of regenerative Injection Treatments, including ozone, dextrose Prolotherapy, and platelet rich plasma, also known as PRP. Dextrose Prolotherapy treatments have been described as literally spot welding damaged tendons and ligaments back onto the bones they support. Peru is a country of 25 million people, and 10 million are in the capital city of Lima. For five days, Monday through Friday, the AAOM team of doctors and support workers travelled through the crowded streets of Lima early each morning to a Catholic Mission in Pamplona, a low income county of Lima. There we worked in teams to treat over 1,200 patients that week, from 10 AM till we were finished, which some days was long after the planned 6:00 PM end time. The AAOM instructors were excellent, teaching both introductory and advanced Prolotherapy techniques to the doctors on the team. The Peruvian people were gracious, and they clearly appreciated our Prolotherapy treatments. Many of these patients got off the treatment tables without pain. Problems I encountered were the limitations of not speaking Spanish, the damp winter conditions that chilled me to the bone, and the long hours standing on cold concrete working with people in pain. My AAOM trip to Peru was a highlight of my professional career. I learned new injection techniques, and I helped people who you just know would not get this type of medical care any y other way. It was a great way to spend my summer vacation.

T
eachers’ contract bargaining should not be a spectator sport with zealots cheering on their combatants like teens at an afterschool fist fight. There are more adult ways to conduct negotiations than fear mongering, rabble rousing and putdowns. With school now underway, both sides in the B.C. public school teachers dispute should loudly pronounce their intentions to bargain in good faith and then duck under the cov-
er of silence until there’s something worthwhile to report— like a settlement. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association have an opportunity to create a teachable moment for thousands of B.C. students by engaging in respectful negotiations. No doubt there are extreme challenges facing both sides in this dispute because the teachers are expected to live within the same “zero net” deal accepted by other public sector unions.
With an arbitrator ruling that issues traditionally discussed at the provincial table should remain there, and class size and composition regulations left out of the discussion for now (the province has until next April to contemplate the implications of a Supreme Court ruling that struck down class size and composition regulations), both sides in the dispute have a very narrow range of concerns to deal with. One option is for both sides to bear down on a few key non-monetary items to obtain a
short-term deal or stall for a year or more until the way is clear for a possible return to bargaining of class size and composition, wages and benefits. Complaints of unreasonable concessions or unrealistic demands are typical opening bargaining positions. With these volleys out of the way, it’s time for some serious bargaining. But, please, let’s do it quietly, and with a minimal disruption for students than what has already taken place.

E
lections are about choices, and often the choice of who to vote for centres on who you do not want to vote for. Don’t want the Liberal to win, vote for the Conservative, the NDPer or the Green Party candidate. Abstaining simply means one less vote to count. At first blush, that would appear to be what FourChange.org is doing at the municipal level—telling us who not to vote for. This group of Kelowna business people, fronted by Castanet media boss Nick Frost and David Langton of Competition Glass, is telling the public who it does not want to see re-

Fair enough. Any group can throw its support behind any candidate during an election. It doesn’t mean the candidates being supported agree with the group or are part of a “slate.” In politics, control over who says they like you rests in the voter’s hand, not the candidates. But if you are going to identify a problem, why not offer a solution? Who would FourChange.org have

At this point, the best FourChange.org has done is increase talk about the election. And if that translates into getting more people out to vote, no matter who they vote for, then that’s a good thing in and of itself. As for meeting the goal the group appears to have set for itself—a shake up on city council—well, it seems to either be too early in the process or it’s a job only half done. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

▼ TARGETING COUNCILLORS
FourChange wants gov’t of only the like-minded To the editor: Re: Lobby Group Wants to Defeat Four Incumbent Councillors, Sept. 16 Capital News. I am curious about who fourchange.org endeavours to inspire with such a vague web site. FourChange.org states: “It’s time for ordinary people to step forward and speak for a new direction.” First of all, who are ordinary people? When criticizing these four public officials, don’t forget that they were elected by your fellow citizens because some, in fact many, of your fellow citizens believe in what these people have to say. It sounds like you want everyone on the council to share your values but there is no mention of what these values are, not to mention who you are. The message you are sending is that, if someone doesn’t share your values, they shouldn’t have a say. History shows us that nothing good has ever come from this mentality. That said, if you have legitimate
and specific grievances with these people they should be voiced on your website so your followers and would-be followers can make informed decisions. Secondly, are you sure it’s a new direction you want and not an old one? Because, it appears that you are attacking the councillors who are bringing new ideas and approaches to the table. From what I understand, at least a few of the four people that you are criticizing are advocating for more thoughtful, functional, and enduring projects in our city. Things that are worthwhile take time, especially when they contravene the status quo. Fourchange states that delays in decisionmaking are harmful to the economy. Well, one can also argue that hasty and unbalanced decision-making is harmful to the economy. In the past, we’ve been far too hasty in making decisions, in order to realize short-term economic gains. Often these mistakes are virtually irreversible, precipitous of more bad decisions, and they affect the health and economic pros-
perity of cities in the long-term. There is evidence of this all over our city. One example is the rampant lakeshore development that has impacted half of the entire shoreline of Okanagan Lake and directly contributed to the population crash of the kokanee, a fish of significant local economic value. But this single example not only affects fish and fish enthusiasts, it affects the part of the community that uses water from the lake and that’s a fair number of people. It also contributes to global warming, a very serious threat to economic prosperity. Kelowna rode the gravy train for the better part of the last decade, its time to come to the sobering reality that we no longer have the resources to make hasty decisions that affect our future. When we make hasty decisions for short-term economic gains, we are harming ourselves, our planet, and we are stealing from our children and future generations. Melony Catana, Kelowna
FourChange ‘endorsement’ an insult to councillors To the editor: Re: FourChange.org. This rude disrespect to Kelowna’s voters, with the utterly ridiculous claim of grassroots support with so few actually willing to admit to membership, smacks of personal attacks, character assassination, and mealy-mouthed
mudslinging. Given the complete absence of substance— this ‘group’ is not saying what they dislike, is not saying what they like, is not saying what was done wrong, and refuses to say what they would do differently—I think they have every reason to be deeply
ashamed. I hope that the poor councillors endorsed by this invented, anonymous ‘grassroots citizens group’ of offensive smear campaigners have the decency, character and honesty to request that their names not be used by those who employ such
Let peace break out all over the world To the editor: September 21 is UN International Day of Peace. We all have a role to play in achieving peace in our community, and in our world. Our culture seems inclined towards vengeance and war, instead of forgiveness and peace. Even as we observe the 10th anniversary of the horrific bombings in New York this month, we think little of the cost of war. Did you know that since 2001 successive governments have pumped an additional $92 billion into security and military spending, over and above pre-9/11 spending in Canada? And we don’t question it, as a culture. We are taught to accept it because we have been convinced that there is no other way. American author, Robert Fulghum, said: “It will be a great day when our schools have all the money they need, and our air force has to have a bake sale to buy a bomber.” Even as a community, locally, we are quick to show that we “support our troops” with gestures as small as a bumper sticker, or as grand as the unveiling of a monument. And because of our political culture, many of us dare not question the value, cost, or meaning of these gestures lest we speak out of turn and get accused of being unpatriotic. How much time or resources do we pour into communal, peace-filled ventures? Couldn’t our municipality, province, or country support spaces for peace in our communities where we might gather and celebrate people and movements that have worked for non-violence
and peace? Locally we could use more reminders of peace, even some small encouragement to work for peace in our daily life to make our communities and the world better places for everyone. If we are intentional about working for peace, we might give our children alternatives to violent conflict when disagreement arises. If we encourage that kind of attitude in our young people, we might give them hope for the future. It seems to me that our military and the government behind our military preys upon youth who feel hopeless and at a loss for options—especially when recruiting posters are seen posted in our public schools. We in Kelowna can call for alternatives to war, and then have reminders of peace around us. We can invite the creative members of our community to share art that is inspired by peace; we can create spaces set aside for peace so that we might gather at those places at different times to celebrate or work for peace; we can encourage peace locally and call for an end to war and empire-building globally. These may seem like lofty goals. Why not start by observing the United Nations’ International Day of Peace by committing ourselves and our households to taking steps toward greater peace in our own living?

Dog lover on the lookout To the editor: I’m writing to warn people in the Richter St./ Mill Creek area. A young woman has been walking dogs past my house all summer. Apparently,she is training them to obey commands. She does this by yanking on the leash, pulling the animal down to a laying position and whipping it across the face until it yelps in pain. I tried to ignore it for some time, but I finally had enough and I hollered at her: “If I hear an animal yelp one more time, I’m calling the police.” I haven’t seen her since. I doubt she’s changed her “ways” just
her route. She is around 20, long dark hair, approx.5’2”, slim. The last time I saw her she had a boy with her, also leading a small dog. I’m concerned what affect her behaviour will have on his outlook. The dog she was doing this to lately was a black with white markings border collie-cross, very well behaved. My family raised Labs for many years. I never saw my dad strike an animal in anger. I don’t know if she has training in the care of dogs, but I have never seen a book that instructs this behavior.

Prepare Laughter can offer a definite medicinal value for flu I season ▼ HEALTH
purposely use laughter as a therapeutic modality within my practice. I have been known to go out to my waiting room and tell my staff that they are not laughing enough. It simply is just good medicine. Last August, a series of studies were presented at the European Sociology of Cardiology 2011 Congress that showed the importance and the role of laughter, positive thinking and conversely anger and job stress and its effect on future cardiovascular events. The following is a summary of an article published by Mr. Michael O’Riordan last month. Dr. Michael Miller, of the University Of Maryland Medical School, was the lead investigator in one of these such studies.

his subjects who watch a 15 minute segment of intense violence as seen in Saving Private Ryan as they stormed the beach at Normandy, to movies such as Something about Mary, Shallow Hal and Kingpin, all of which were comedies. After watching the war scene in Saving Private Ryan, blood vessels were observed to constrict as much as 50 per cent. When the subjects watched the comedies they found that there was an opposite effect, one in which dilation occurs in the observer’s vasculature. The constriction and dilation response happened almost immediately upon observing the two very different scenes. The authors of the study noted that the vasoconstrictive and vasodilative effects lasted for
approximately one hour after watching these separate scenes. Further studies demonstrated that the vasodilator effects as a benefit of laughter, positively affected the vascular function for as much as 24 hours. Two other separate studies observed health effects as a result of anger, job stress and depression. Dr. Tea Lallukka, of the University of Helsinki, observed workers who worked more than three hours of overtime per day. They found an increased risk of coronary heart disease when compared to those did not work overtime. In yet another study published by Dr. Franco Bonaguidi, of the Institute of Clinical Physiology in Pisa, Italy, he observed 228 individuals with a history of myocardial infarction.

One year after the study had ended the reduction in depression was still greatly maintained. In her study, she said “Anxiety and depression are associated with higher morbidity and mortality after a cardiac event, similar to anger, and depressed patients particularly need lots of help with making behavioral changes and managing their state after a cardiac event.” Once again, laughter, optimism and a positive outlook has been demonstrated to have a profound effect on our overall health. Essentially, it is a laughing matter. My prescription: Two Seinfelds and one Laurel and Hardy every day. Markus Thiel is a chiropractor practicing in Kelowna.

He was most interested in the effects of sustained anger and recurrent cardiovascular events. Over the course of his 10-year study, only 21 per cent of the patients who are considered “anger free” as per their psychological profile had myocardial compromise over the course of the study. There is a stark comparison to the ‘angry personalities’ who had an over 57 per cent likelihood of further cardiovascular compromise. Dr. Barbara Murphy with the Royal Melbourne Hospital in Australia, showed that an eight session intervention course focusing on cognitive behavior therapy, reduced depression in acute myocardial infarction patients substantially. In addition, the good cholesterol levels were increased substantially.

Autumn is just around the corner and with kids going back to school and colder temperatures setting in, one inevitably starts thinking about flu prevention. The good news is there are many natural things you can do to protect yourself from being one of the casualties—cover your mouth and nose when coughing, wash your hands regularly, avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose. But if your immune system is compromised, the avoidance strategy is most likely not enough. So now is when you need to begin boosting your immune system. Healthy eating habits and daily activity are absolute musts. Your diet should include at least five vegetables and three fruit per day, healthy sources of omega-3 fats, and whole grains. You should be drinking at least 1.5 litres of water per day (add one glass of water for every caffeinated or alcoholic beverage). Freshly minced garlic is a powerful antimicrobial that can be sprinkled on almost any food. Limit your intake of saturated “bad” fats and sources of refined sugar. Refined sugar suppresses the immune system and feeds infections. Regular exercise should include at least 60 minutes of combined cardio and strength training. Exercise not only boosts the immune system, but reduces overall stress. Several vitamins, herbal medicines and homeopathics can prepare the body to fight off invading organisms. You can never go wrong with Vitamin C, the body’s number one anti-oxidant and at high doses stimulates the reproduction of immune cells. Echinacea is probably the most well-known herbal remedy for supporting a healthy immune function and for good reason. The key is to start taking these remedies prior to getting sick. The idea is to be proactive—not reactive. This article is from the Okanagaan Naturopathic Healthcare newsletter.

A search involving both civilian and military aircraft has been underway since Saturday for a 61-year-old helicopter pilot, who left Langley Airport on Friday evening on a flight to Kelowna. The A Star helicopter left Langley Airport, which is home to numerous helicopter-related businesses, at about 6:30 p.m. on Friday. The pilot is described as experienced, and had flown the route on many occasions. He was last heard from when he was near Hope, and there was low cloud there at the time of contact. There was also considerable cloud over the mountains to the east of Hope at the time of the flight. A search headquarters has been established in Kelowna concentrating efforts in the search for a missing pilot who had been flying an Aerospatiale A350 helicopter between Langley and Kelowna on Friday evening. Despite efforts by military crews and Civil Air Search and Rescue Association volunteers since Friday night, there has been no indication of what happened to the pilot or his aircraft. “There is an intense effort being made to locate the missing pilot, and the efforts deserve a dedicated search headquarters,” said Capt. David Burneau, searchmaster from 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron based out of Comox. “Joint Rescue Coordination Centre Victoria transferred control of the search to our team this evening and we are continuing the search with numerous assets tonight,” Burneau said.

KGH expansion put in perspective
F
our major projects. More than 622,000 square feet of space. Nearly $703 million in investments. These numbers describe the major expansion going on at KGH— the Centennial Tower, the Clinical Support Building, the UBC Clinical Academic Campus, and the Interior Heart and Surgical Centre (IHSC). What do all these stats mean? For starters it means a major increase in space. To give you an idea of how much space this is, imagine a typical Walmart, Home Depot, Rona, Golf Town and Costco and add them together. That is how much new floor space is being added at KGH. What are the benefits for residents? It’s a long list includ-
Norm Letnick ing such things as a new ophthalmology department, five new operating rooms, as well as a new and expanded renal department with 18 dialysis stations. Here are some other benefits to help put all the expansion at KGH in perspective. The greatly expanded emergency department will be four times the size of the current one. Two fully-equipped trauma
bays will be larger than the current space, with room for a third in the future. Another benefit will be the highest level of medical care ever seen in the Interior when the IHSC opens. The IHSC will be an integrated critical care facility giving about 1,600 cardiac patients a year top-notch care close to home. This will also greatly reduce stress on loved ones. The state-of-the-art surgical centre will also help with the recruitment and retention of highly qualified professionals. The cardiac transition plan is already underway with angioplasty procedures being performed in the Strathcona Building at KGH. The first angioplasty ever performed outside

Victoria and the Lower Mainland took place here on Nov. 19, 2009. Open heart surgery is scheduled to begin in renovated ORs in the Strathcona Building by the end of 2012. Another benefit will be the training of new doctors right here in Kelowna. The UBC Clinical Academic Campus at KGH is now complete and students will take their first classes there in January. This is the fourth campus of UBC’s Faculty of Medicine. Now, students from Kelowna and throughout the Okanagan can study medicine closer to home. It also means students from other parts of British Columbia, other provinces and other countries will discover the Okanagan while studying here. I am willing to bet a lot of them will want to stay here and practice medicine after they graduate. Norm Letnick is the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country. www.normletnickmla.bc.ca
Video gamers thumb up more than $2,000 for KGH Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The couch potato may be shedding its negative connotation. Geoff Webb and a group of friends raised $2,235 for the Kelowna General Hospital Adolescent Psychiatric Unit, from the comfort of Webb’s basement. From Sept. 1 to 4, the young adults exercised their thumbs playing various versions of the Zelda video game series. After 96 hours of mental endurance and the completion of nine versions of the game, the group was worn out. “We were pretty exhausted by the end, but everyone had a fantastic time,” said Webb. The money will likely go towards updating the
video game equipment for the benefit of youth who stay in the psychiatric unit. Webb said that the group is still debating the best way to distribute the funds. “That money can go really far. We will decide what needs to be purchased when we see what they have.” Webb gave an example of how far the money could go. “That could be a new TV, a new system, all new controllers and a whole library of games. We can basically provide a whole multimedia setup for them with this money.” According to Webb, the United Church donated $750 to the cause, while the other funds came from friends, family and people who encountered the cause on the Internet.

NEWS ▼ NORTHWOOD RETIREMENT RESORT
Seniors’ housing needs met Barry Gerding EDITOR
If the latest project for Regency Retirement Resorts is a bellweather of the local economy, then perhaps there is room for some optimism looking ahead. Back in 2009, Regency was ready to start construction on a $30-million new project at the corner of Gordon Drive and Cawston Avenue in Kelowna, called Northwood Retirement Resort. It was to be the fourth Regency seniors’ facility in the Central Okanagan, joining Sandalwood in North Glenmore, Missionwood in the Mission and Westwood in West Kelowna, all built over the last decade. But the recession was kicking in, developer Ed Hall with Regency elected to wait.
The housing market is a key for Regency’s business, as seniors need to be able to sell their homes in order to downsize to independent living on a smaller scale. As well, Hall said they started looking at ways to lower the entry point for seniors looking to move into Northwood from $2,200. “We did some serious brainstorming and came up with some ideas of things we could change
that would help lower that number,” Hall said. Those ideas included changing housekeeping and linen service to bi-weekly from weekly, changing the daily bus service for residents from daily to three days a week, reducing the 100+ cable TV package down to the basis service, and have only one entree instead of two for dinner each night. “We totalled up those changes, and we found a savings of about $300 a

month which put us under the $2,000 entry point mark,” Hall said. “We were able to do that and still provide the same amenities and level of enrichment leisure services but just slightly toning down the level of some services.” So today, Regency has started construction on Northwood, the new complex being built in two phases—97 unit with all the amenities for a spring 2011 completion and a further 64 units later on. Hall is very excited about the Northwood location, as its central to many services that seniors might want, and is an area where many seniors already live in apartments or older single-family homes. “The rental sign just had gone up and the phone

“When your making a move to a facility like ours, to be able to stay in your own neighbourhood, to be around friends, family and other services you are familiar with is an ideal situation.” The basic package for Northwood rental tenants

Hall said Regency likes to provide unique attributes to each of their facilities in Kelowna. For Northwood, that will be a 3,000 squarefoot indoor garden in a 20foot-tall conservatory that is annexed to the dining room, he said. And it will also be the first Regency resort with a home winemaking facility. Hall said for seniors looking to leave their own home or apartment for a senior’s facility is not about giving up independence. “We argue that in fact you are actually increasing your independence because you no longer have to be dependent on yourself or others for transportation, home maintenance issues, grocery shopping or to maintain a yard. All of that is looked after for you,” Hall said. “I had someone stop me in the hallway at Missionwood the other day and say the wished they had made the move five years earlier.” For more information about available Northwood rental units, call 250-762-7344.

NEWS ▼ POLICE BRIEFS
Fake utility company canvassers intent on committing a fraud Kelowna RCMP are asking the public to be aware of suspicious activity in the form of persons claiming to be from utility companies. Last Friday at around 4 p.m., two males dressed in purple and white shirts knocked on the door of a residence in the 900 block of Westbrook Drive in West Kelowna. The males claimed they
worked for Telus and asked the homeowner if he received Telus services. When the homeowner said he did, the men “high fived” him and left. The homeowner then called Telus, who told him that they had no one going door to door anywhere in the area. Police believe that the men were either attempting to commit a fraud of some kind or
were looking for an excuse to go inside the residence to check it out for a future crime, possibly a break and enter. The first suspect is about six-foot-one tall with a slim build and short dark brown hair. The second is about fivefoot-eight tall with a medium build and short red hair. If anyone has had a similar experience or has seen these in-
dividuals or a related vehicle in the area, please call the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-7682880.
IMPAIRED NIGHTMARE
On Sunday at just after 1:15 a.m., a Central Okanagan Traffic Services officer attempted to pull over a Grey Chev pickup as a possible impaired. Despite the use of the offi-
cer’s emergency equipment, the northbound vehicle continued on Highway 33 until a second police cruiser pulled in front of the truck and brought it to a stop. The driver refused to provide his driver’s licence or comply with any of the officer’s requests. The 42-year-old Kelowna resident, Troy Brad, was ar-
rested for obstruction but allegedly fought back violently by punching and trying to choke the arresting officer. The officer had detected signs of alcohol impairment during the initial contact and arrest. Brad is facing numerous charges relating to the incident including impaired driving and resisting arrest.

Coach keeps Sun on straight and narrow
▼ WHL
Rockets modest about spotless preseason record
Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Jason Casey isn’t about to allow the Okanagan Sun to fall into a trap. No false sense of security for his football club, even after a 69-0 thrashing of the Westshore Rebels Saturday night on the Island. Two lopsided BCFC wins in a row—42-7 over Chilliwack a week earlier—hasn’t changed Casey’s resolve to keep the Sun (6-1) ultimately prepared for each week, whether their next opponent is 0-7 or 7-0. “We do not disrespect our opponents, nor do we take any game for granted,” said Casey. “We prepare for each game one week at a time, that is how a team stays successful.” While local football fans are eagerly anticipating the Sun’s showdown with the Vancouver Island Raiders (7-0) on Oct. 9 at the Apple Bowl, Casey assures the regular season finale is the furthest thing from his mind. All that matters to Casey and his staff today is preparing for the Kamloops Broncos, (1-6) who pay a visit to the Apple Bowl on Sunday afternoon. “When you have a target on your back from your opponents, like we do each week, and you take them lightly based on what others may believe their talent levels are on paper, you leave yourself open to defeat and allow teams to come into games and bite you in the ass,” said Casey. “We will not be ill-prepared for any opponent, nor will we be looking past or ahead to others.” At Westshore, the Sun jumped on the Rebels ear-

Receiver Dan Turek also earned a spot in the Sun record book with 227 yards receiving. He caught seven passes and
also scored a major. Quarterback Jeremy Mraovic passed for 429 yards—the second most in Sun history—and fired four touchdown passes. On the ground, Okanagan rolled up 208 yards rushing, 87 of those from Armand Bokitch.
On defense, the Sun allowed the Rebels just 146 yards of total offense. It was an all-round effort that satisfied the Sun’s head coach, particularly by the club’s big offensive line. “The men played excellent all game,” Casey

said. “There were some minor hiccups that cost us some yards and momemtum that we need to fix so we can be successful in close games, but all and all, I was extremely pleased with everyone’s See Sun A25
Any coaching staff would be encouraged by an unbeaten preseason. Still, with the new Western Hockey League regular season set to begin this weekend, head man Ryan Huska isn’t reading too much into his Kelowna Rockets’ spotless 6-0 exhibition record. “We went 5-1 in exhibition last season and we saw what happened to us after that,” said Huska, whose team started 201011 with 4-10 record. “You can’t take a lot of stock out of an exhibition record, a lot of teams are shorthanded with players, sometimes they play 15-yearold goalies, so you can’t always get a good gauge of where you’re at. “We’re in a situation where we have, I think, the best goaltending in the league and we were able to play them, so that helped us.” Even so, Huska liked a lot of what he saw from his young squad through six games of the preseason. Five wins were by a single goal, two in a shootout and one in overtime. “For sure there were a lot of positives, we saw some of things we applied in practices being done in games, so that was good,” he said. “The guys also found a way to win the close games, so that was a positive. But there is a danger in that of thinking it’s going to be easier, but
we have to steer the guys away from that.” As Huska alluded to, goaltending should be the Rockets’ strength this season with 20-yearold Adam Brown and 18-year-old Jordon Cooke sharing the duties. The club will look to the likes of Shane McColgan, Colton Sissons, and Brett Bulmer to lead the offensive attack. Above all, youth just might be the operative word for this year’s Rockets with 10 players on the roster 17 years-old or younger. “It’s young group, but I think a very exciting group we will see develop and get better in the years to come,” Huska said. “We feel like we can be a competitive club this season and in the future.” The Rockets will open the 2011-12 WHL regular season Saturday night in Everett without one of their top young prospects. Defenceman Madison Bowey, 16, suffered a knee injury Sept. 9 in Kamloops and will be sidelined on a week-toweek basis. As for the club’s veterans currently at NHL camps, Zach Franko (Detroit) is expected back this week. No word as of Monday on the returns of Shane McColgan (Rangers), Colton Jobke (Minnesota) or Brett Bulmer (Minnesota). The Rockets first home game is Saturday, Oct. 1 against the Vancouver Giants.

Ferguson runs Voodoos past Boyd It was the Sam Ferguson show as the Rutland Voodoos downed Richmond’s Hugh Boyd Secondary 32-19 in B.C. high school football pre-season action Thursday afternoon at RSS. Ferguson, a Grade 12 running back, rushed for 276 yards and scored four touchdowns as the Voodoos evened their exhibition record at 1-1. “It was a solid group effort on the offensive line, opening up some big holes,” said Voodoos head coach Shane Sommerfeld. The Voodoos led 19-3 at the half, but due to some penalties and mistakes, a couple of Boyd majors made a game of it in the second half. Still, Rutland finished strong with a goal-line stand against Boyd on a fourth-down play late in the game. “We have a young team and are inexperienced in some key spots,” said Sommerfeld. “There is still allot of room for improvement and we expect a steep learning curve as the season progress.” The Voodoos will host Earl Marriot on Friday, 5:30 p.m. at the Ap-

BEARS VS RICK HANSEN
Joe Court tossed three touchdown passes and ran for another as the Mt. Boucherie Bears held off Rick Hansen for a 28-24 win on Friday in Abbotsford. The Bears built up a 28-12 lead before Hansen made it interesting with a couple of second half majors. But Boucherie stymied their opponents on a pair of two-point conversion attempts to hold on for the four-point victory. “We’re a young team, but we have a solid corps of guys,” said Bears coach Mike Godwin, whosse team is 2-0 in pre-season. “We’re pretty banged up right now so hopefully we
can get some guys back soon.” Peter Briker, Tomas Lammers and Jarrett Young caught touchdown passes from Court. On defense, Cam Spence and Brandon Hayward had sacks. The Bears will visit New Westminster this Friday.
SEAQUAM VS KSS
The Kelowna Owls remained winless in exhibition action in September with a 47-21 loss at the hands of Seaquam Secondary on Friday night at the Apple Bowl. Two key plays in the first half turned the tide in Seaquam’s favour—a blocked punt which led to a touchdown; and a fumbled kickoff return which
resulted in another major as Seaquam built up a 26-7 half-time lead. “I’d say they were better prepared than we were,” said Owls coach Roy Anderson, a graduate of Seaquam. “We probably took them too lightly, but not on purpose because they’re a very good football team. It shows you what can happen if you don’t prepare the right way. “Hopefully we can learn from this one.” QB Sam Davies scored a pair of touchdowns for KSS, while connecting with Jake Pilon on a 20-yard pass for the other major. The Owls (0-3) will travel to Coquitlam Friday to take on the Terry Fox Ravens.

Fellow running back Andrew Barr added close to 100 yards and a major, while Grade 10 quarterback Nick Corman ran an efficient offense, throwing for a touchdown and running for another. “Credit goes to our entire O-line, they played great,” said OKM coach James Franssen. “We played well as a team all
across the field. We played physical on both sides of the ball and shut them down on defense. I was pleased with the level of play early in the season.” Franssen also credited senior Trevor Swaisland for a solid two-way game, while the Huskies linebacking corps led a stauch defensive effort, not allowing any points until the

faced. “I think we just kept it simple” said McKinnon of his team’s third period success, adding: “We got pucks deep, banged bodies, threw pucks at the net, and it worked out.” With the win, the Warriors closed out their exhibition schedule with a record of three wins and three overtime losses. Having found offen-
sive success in their final tune-up, the team will continue to work on systems ahead of their debut in Trail. “I think the D-zone is going to be the most important thing we’ll have to focus on,” McKinnon said of the days ahead. Westside’s first home action is Friday, Sept. 30 against the Vernon Vipers at Royal LePage Place.

Heat men drop a game to TRU
ROB BROWN/CONTRIBUTOR
ZACH DONALDSON-HALL scored UBC Okanagan’s lone marker in a 2-1 loss Saturday to Thompson Rivers University.
The UBC Heat men’s soccer team suffered its first loss of the PacWest season falling to 2-1 to the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack 2-1 Saturday afternoon at Riverside stadium in Kamloops. Flying high after an impressive pair of wins on the coast last weekend, the Heat found themselves scrambling in the first half as the more physical Wolfpack dominated the ball in the early going. If not for Spencer Brown’s presence in the net the Heat could have easily faced an early deficit. Brown turned away several Wolfpack chances in the first twenty minutes of the match. The second half saw the Heat take the action to the Wolfpack, leading to the first goal of the match. When TRU defender Darcy Geldart was unable to clear a header Zach Donaldson-Hall, a former TRU player and Kamloops native, made no mistake and buried the chance to put the Heat up 1-0 with just over 30 minutes left in the match.
The Heat held the lead for fifteen minutes when a scramble in front on Spencer Brown’s net resulted in Wolfpack forward Oriol Farras Torres who put in his own rebound and tie the match at one. With only four minutes to play, Heat midfielder Manny Straith bumped a TRU player in the box and the Wolfpack were subsequently awarded a penalty shot. Senior midfielder Adam Dodgson buried the penalty kick to push the Wolfpack to a 2-1 win. “I thought we did a solid job of weathering the storm in the first half when they were outworking us,” adds Spencer Brown. “We came out stronger after the break, but in the end defensive errors let us down. I thought we were fair value for a draw. After a solid week of training we will come back stronger in next weekend’s rematch.”

HEAT WOMEN
The UBC Heat women’s soccer team dropped its first regular season home game in over two years, falling 2-1 to the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack 2-1 Sunday afternoon in Kelowna. Kristen Dodds found an opening on the right side of the Wolfpack’s net late in the first half, blasting the ball past Edmunson to give the Heat a 1-0 lead just 30 minutes into the game. The Wolfpack roared back into the game just five minutes later when Chloe McAuley got a shot past the Heat’s Sabrina Gasparac, ending her run of shutouts from the start
of the season. The Heat started of the second half with extra energy and determination. Veteran goal keeper Sabrina Gasparac made some big saves in the second half as the Wolfpack brought the pressure on with some strong shots on net. Alanna Bekkering was able to get a shot past Gasparac from just over the centre line, giving TRU a 2-1 lead with just 37 minutes left in the game. The Heat got a break late in the second half after they were awarded a penalty kick, but Lindsey Briggs couldn’t slide the ball past Edmunson as TRU hung on for the win. “We had our chances to tie up the game,” said Heat head coach Claire Paterson. “Unfortunately, we just didn’t put them away so obviously we will be working on the finishing part of our match. “It’s hard losing a game like that,” Paterson said, “but, you know, we are going to regroup and move on from the performance today.”

Roundtable creates base for entrepreneurial growth I
have been presenting to you stories, information and educational pieces for close to five years now, and I have worked within the world of entrepreneurship in Canada and the U.S. for more than 25 years, a lifetime to be sure. The significance of my personal journey really stems from the creation of a National Entrepreneurship Policy & Strategy, which the Tory government under prime minister Brian Mulroney created within the developed national society in the late 1990s. But here we are now in the Okanagan Valley after almost five years of exploring, searching, researching with some pleading thrown in for spice, and I am excitedly to declare that we, as a regional economy, are about to turn the corner toward a new level of collaboration amongst all rel-
ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Joel Young evant regional stakeholder organizations. This week, I would like to share two very important initiatives with you that may contribute to changing the face of our region, our province and yes, our beloved Canada. Before my wife and I moved to the Okanagan five years ago, I spent a great deal of time visiting with valley mayors and community leaders. One of those special people was Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd. I told the mayor about my world of entrepreneurship and the initiative I had developed and implemented in my home
province of Saskatchewan. It was when an NDP government was in power there, with the purpose to prompt a provincewide entrepreneurship game-plan for progressive change. I presented to Shepherd that initial day a concept proposal for an Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurship Roundtable, which would be an open forum of stakeholders exploring the potential for a valley-wide entrepreneurship strategy, something which did not exist at that point. Although the mayor expressing her support, I wasn’t ready just yet to embark on that journey. So, I shelved the roundtable notion and then moved forward the idea to create an entrepreneurship society, as a regional non-profit entity to light the candle, so to speak, for the entrepreneurial zealots and expressions of interest of
Who are you running for?

which I was continually confronted with. The society was started, and three years later we are now an established, multi-faceted socio-economic organization. While establishing my roots in the valley floor, I obtained letters of support for an entrepreneurship strategy from nearly every mayor from Vernon to Penticton. And so, after mulling my revisitation to the roundtable initiative, I had an occasion to once again visit Kelowna’s mayor, to tell her I felt the time was ripe to bring together a cross section of valley stakeholders to explore that strategy development she had previously expressed an interest in supporting. She reminded me of what she told me back when I came to her with this idea originally, that I ought to cease discussing and go get it done, that a roundtable concept was a solid vehicle to seek change of business attitude and behaviour in the valley. So on Sept. 7 at the Delta Grand Hotel in Kelowna, we were able to complete a wonderfully productive roundtable forum with an innovative facilitation model led by David Church, a Win-
nipeg-based consultant who specializes in bringing multiple business and/ or government organizations together to reach a common goal. Church, who is moving to the Okanagan and will split time between the Manitoba city and here in Kelowna, will set up a western Canadian training centre and has collaborated with two marketing and business coaches, Clint Best and Colin Parker, who so graciously assisted in making the Roundtable come to life. In a seemingly short day, we were able to accumulate 257 ideas, (amazing outcome) that will be screened, categorized and form the nucleus of a report that will be shared with everyone in the roundtable database, inviting the formation of a working group to investigate the development of a first-ever regional entrepreneurship strategy and action agenda. Am I excited? You bet—this was an idea that was a long time in coming. The world around us within the region, the province, the nation and beyond is and has been extolling the socio-economic virtues of entrepreneurial development for sometime now in bits and pieces.
That’s not all for this week’s joyful announcement about “entrepreneurship everywhere,” as the roundtable is also our entrepreneurship society’s contribution to Global Entrepreneurship Week, that runs from Nov. 14 to 20, led by the Canadian Youth Business Foundation, and which our society is a community partner in the Okanagan. This major international initiative began a few short years ago with United Kingdom Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Carl Schramm, CEO of the Kaufmann Entrepreneurship Foundation. The core essence of this celebratory week is the discovery that leaders around the world are looking to reinvigorate their economies by focusing on ways to stimulate new venture creation. Global Entrepreneurship Week helps map the entrepreneurial ecosystem in all participating nations and enjoys the support and participation of presidents and prime ministers on every continent. Today, that entails the participation of more than 100 nations, 40,000 events such as our roundtablef forum, and the contributions of 10 million people. Wow, that’s no Sunday picnic!
And to close this tidal wave of entrepreneurial waterfall, in February 2011, Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper declared 2011 as the Year of the Entrepreneur throughout Canada, part of our federal government’s efforts to raise public awareness of the importance of entrepreneurs to Canada’s economy and pay tribute to their drive and dedication. The Prime Minister said: “Canada’s entrepreneurs are the backbone of our economy, creating jobs and driving economic growth in communities, large and small across our landscape.” Global Entrepreneurship Week has a wonderful national competition called YOU Innovate, which presents $ 25,000 in cash awards with 14 regional winners who may also win a trip to the United Kingdom. Information and application to participate in this program may be obtained through the Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society. Yes, dear friends, entrepreneurship is everywhere.

Mixing friendship in the workplace
F
ive years ago, the Gallup Organization conducted research on how to best measure what elements make for a strong work environment and an engaged workforce. They asked hundreds of questions, ultimately settling on just 12. The Gallup survey—often called a Q12—identifies the core factors that best determine how successful an organization will be in attracting, focusing and retaining talent. It measures a full range of elements that employees look for in their jobs, and from their managers. The Q12 includes questions related to how well equipped and how well supported employees feel when doing their work. The questions progress to deeper issues related to the feedback and encouragement that is provided to them on a regular basis. In my opinion one of the most intriguing questions that the Q12 asks is, “Do I have a best friend at work?” I have seen managers and employees react with varying ranges of discomfort in considering this question. Usually they ask what does it
mean to have a “best friend” at work and why would it matter to how I do my job? The implications are more meaningful than one would Laurie expect. Typically, the Mills scepticism starts with what “best” means. For some it reminds them of a childhood experience that, as adults, they don’t expect to have in the same way. That is likely true, however, the desire to bond with others is a natural human instinct that stays with us. Choosing our best friend when we were young might have been easy or it likely evolved based on trial and error. In any case, early friendships tended to form based on shared interests and feelings of trust and mutual support. We might define that special or “best” friend as the one person we trusted wholeheartedly to listen when we needed to talk things through and to keep our confidences. That friend didn’t judge us when we stumbled and was consistently there when we needed them for encouragement and support. It has been said that friendship makes our burdens half as heavy and our joys twice as big—because
WORK LIFE
they’re shared. We still need that as adults, so how is friendship not of value in the workplace? We spend so much of our lives at work. That whole world can be so much more satisfying and fulfilling if we have a friend to share it with— someone who understands because they’re living it with you. What the Gallup research discovered is that managers can and should direct the core things that engage people in their work—giving clear direction, support, feedback and recognition. These form the foundation for great workplaces. Staying with a great employer is a personal, individual decision. Beyond the basics, talented employees are more likely to stay if they feel they truly belong. This sense of belonging comes from finding meaning in one’s work, feeling valued as an employee and forming closeness with colleagues that enriches the day to day work experience. You may not have a best friend at work, or you may be one of the lucky ones who do. Either way, it is worth pausing to consider how much better your work life is or would be with at least one trusted ally who always has your back, just as you have theirs.

When a subcontractor has employee tax status
S
mall businesses are constantly trying to cut costs. One way they tend to try is by cutting back on staff or only using subcontractors. Periodically, the Canada Revenue Agency has targeted their payroll audits to those kinds of industries who abuse the use of subcontractors. There are rules that the CRA uses to determine if a self-employed contractor should actually be considered an employee. The booklet that explains this issue is RC4110—Employee or Self-employed and can be downloaded from the CRA web site. First, let’s try to determine if hiring a subcontractor really saves you any money. In a simple example, we will assume an employee that earns $2,000 a month on salary and gets paid on the 15th and the 31st. So if we use the CRA on-line payroll deduction calculator, this type of pay period is called semimonthly. We enter an amount of $1,000 into the income line on the salary calculation page. We also need
BEHIND THE COUNTER
Gabriele Banka to ignore any special payments that may be included with the regular pay so we choose ‘Next’ to continue. We also ignore any balance forward amounts for CPP and EI for this example. When we choose ‘Calculate,’ we see that the total tax to be withheld from this employee’s pay cheque is $84.98 plus $42.28 for CPP and $17.80 for EI, giving the employee a net pay of $854.94. As an employer, you would need to calculate on a monthly basis the amount that you need to remit to CRA. So for this employee, we would double the amounts above and add the employer expense portion of CPP and EI giving us a total of $424.52. So looking at this transaction from a cash flow perspective, on the 15th we pay the em-
ployee a net of $854.94; on the 30/31st a net of $854.94; on the 15th of the following month we remit the payroll taxes of $424.52. The total cash flow is then $2,134.40. We are paying the employee $2,000 per month and it is costing the employer $134.40 for the transaction. So now if we pay the subcontractor $2,000 a month and tell them that they need to remit their own taxes, all we are really saving is the $134.40 and perhaps a little less administration for only needing to write the cheque or electronically submit at the end of the month, instead of three times a month. If CRA happens to audit your payroll files and determines that your subcontractor is actually an employee, you may be fined $10,000 per occurrence. Why would someone take that risk to save an approximate $1,660.80 ($134.20 x 12) a year? So how does the CRA determine if the person is actually an employee or a subcontractor? They consider four factors—control, owner-

As explained in the CRA guide, usually the employer assigns the tasks, how the work is done and the methods used. If the employer doesn’t really control how the work is done, but has the right to do so, then they are considered to have control over that employee. Some things to consider—who determines the hours of work, when and how the work is to be done, and the location. The next area to consider is the ownership of tools. Are they provid-

ed by the employer, or is the subcontractor required to use and maintain their own tools? There are exceptions to this rule because in some industries such as construction the carpenter would be required to provide his own hammer even though he/she may be an employee. An important consideration is the chance of profit or risk of loss. Does the worker receive a guaranteed pay every pay period regardless of the results achieved, or is the
income based on the satisfaction of the purchaser? Finally, there is the integration factor which is based on whether or not the worker is dependent on the payer for income. A subcontractor would have more than one employer so would not be dependent on payment from only one source. This can be a very subjective area of payroll audits, so if you are considering a subcontract relationship, you may want to contact the CRA direct-
ly and ask for a ruling of the working relationship before it starts. One other thing to mention is that an employee’s income is reported to the CRA on a T4 slip. If you employ a subcontractor, you are required to issue them a T4A slip. If you are in the construction industry, the slip is a T5018. All are due to the CRA by Feb. 28 of the following year.

Cookie is such a sweet and gentle Lab. She loves her toys and her tails never stops wagging. Anyone in love with the breed would be very excited to have her as a family member.
ID#244397
Leo is a Pekingese mix who is about 3 years old and is good with female dogs. He may be good with male dogs too we just haven’t mixed him yet. He is a friendly and loving boy who would do well in a home with owners who share their furniture with their pets.
Bella is a sweet, hyper and friendly dog. She needs to have her energy focused and from what we can tell this would be a new thing for her. She is happy to be around people and with some positive reinforcement “of good behaviors” she will catch on quick. For right now, she is stuck in a shelter and would like to get out as quickly as possible.
ADULT DOMESTIC SHORT HAIR SPAYED FEMALE
I’m a really sweet little girl! I would be best suited in a quieter home with older children. I love head rubs and will nudge you to keep petting me. I came in with an ear infection and due to that, my ear is a little bit deformed. It doesn’t affect me in any way. In fact I believe this just adds to my unique personality and gives me character!

ADULT SHAR-PEI X SPAYED FEMALE
Kiki is a Shar-Pei and anyone interested in her should do research on the breed. There is an approved Shar-Pei rescue here in Kelowna and they would be more than happy to share their insights into the breed. Typically they can be goofy with their owners and aloof towards strangers. They tend to mistrust before they open up & are suited for experienced owners.
Lizzy’s owner could no longer care for her. She is a calm, mellow girl who has a zest for toys, loves to sit on the window sill and observe. She would prefer her space around other cats but absolutely loves people, enjoys chin scratches and ear rubs. Lizzy would do well in a home, where she can bond and would make a wonderful cuddle companion for a laid-back person. Owner surrender

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen spice it up a bit I once believed that curry was a spice, when in fact it’s a combination of spices, more accurately referred to as garam masala. Eastern spices are an inspiration to everyone who loves to cook and eat good food. The exotic flavours of cumin, coriander, turmeric, five spice powder, cardamom, mustard seeds, saffron and cayenne pepper are now familiar to people throughout the world, where once their use was pretty much confined to India and the Middle and Far East. And, whenever you add such distinct flavours to a cuisine, it’s enriched by the addition. I have found it absolutely fascinating over the years to learn to use these spices in my kitchen forays into Indian recipes and I’ve begun to incorporate them into my other cooking as well. Garam masala is a combination of such spices as cumin, coriander, peppercorns, cardamom pods, cloves, cinnamon and dried ginger and there is a vast range of differently-flavoured masalas. The combination of onions, ginger, garlic and some of these exotic spices in a frypan with a little oil and some heat, amounts to a transport to heaven as the wonderful aromas infiltrate the kitchen. Yet, some are reluctant to take the first step to trying some of these spices, perhaps because they’re concerned they will be too hot or uncomfortably spicy. But, you can control how much heat is added if you’re the cook, so it doesn’t need to be too hot, just nicely spicy. My good friend Donna served up a delicious Indian meal during a recent holiday and she shared a couple of the recipes with us. For more spicy recipes using seasonal, local foods, pick up a copy of my new book, Jude’s Kitchen wherever books are sold. Incidentally, if you're interested in tasting amazing new flavours, combinations of flavours and pairings with excellent wines, pick up a ticket for the upcoming Fall Epicurean Dinner at Mission Hill Family Estate in the elegant Chagall Room. Joining award-winning winery chef Matt Batey, will be chefs from Oliver and Bocancini Restaurants at this memorable six-course meal. Details: www.missionhillwinery.com
Donna's Palak Paneer Paneer (Indian cheese made from milk) is available now in some local shops that specialize in exotic items, and that’s what Donna used in her version of this favourite East Indian dish. Following is her recipe for the sauce she poured over the fried paneer. I’ve used firm tofu or bean curd instead and it’s good too and more generally available at supermarkets. Where my recipe includes a dollop each of tomato sauce and yogurt, hers features hot, green and red peppers, and it was very good. 2 medium-sized onions 2 tbsp. (30 ml) grated ginger 4 jalapeno peppers, minced 1 red pepper 1 green pepper 2 c. (500 ml) cooked spinach drizzle of oil 1 tsp. (5 ml) turmeric
1 tsp. (5 ml) salt 2 tsp. (10 ml) garam masala 1/4 c. (60 ml) water Chop onions, grate ginger and mince hot peppers. Slice sweet red pepper into strips. Clean green pepper and cook spinach. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frypan and soften the onions and ginger. Add the turmeric, salt and garam masala and mix well. In a blender, process the spinach and green pepper until very smooth and add to the onion mixture, along with the red peppers and water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for a few minutes until everything is heated through. Add fried paneer and combine, heating it through. Serves 6-8.

Donna's Vegetable Curry
This is a very flavourful and attractive way to provide the family with lots of different vegetables in a way they’ll lap up because it looks and tastes so good. It’s flexible too. If snow peas aren’t available, just add a handful or so of frozen peas. 1 onion 2 large carrots 20 green beans 1/3 head green cabbage 15 small mushrooms 20 snow peas 4 garlic cloves 2/3 c. (150 ml) plain yogurt 1 tsp. (5 ml) cornstarch drizzle of oil 1 tsp. (5 ml) cumin seeds 1/2 tsp. (3 ml) mustard seed 1 tsp. (5 ml) ground turmeric 1 tsp. (5 ml) garam masala 1 tsp. (5 ml) red chili pepper flakes 1/2 tsp. (3 ml) salt water
Dice onion and slice carrots on the diagonal; string beans; shred cabbage. Clean mushrooms, string snow peas and mince the garlic. In a small bowl, combine yogurt and cornstarch. Heat a drizzle of oil in a deep pan and add cumin and mustard seeds and let them pop. Add turmeric, garam masala, red chili pepper flakes and salt, then add onions and carrots and stir for a minute. Add a couple of spoonfuls of water, cover and let cook for a couple of minutes more. Stir in the beans and cabbage, whole mushrooms and minced garlic, cover and let it all steam for another couple of minutes. Add peas for just a minute or two of steaming. Combine yogurt and cornstarch and add to the vegetables, stirring until it bubbles and making sure all the vegetables are coated in sauce. Serves 5-6.
