▼ SNELSON TRIAL

Accused was scrutinized by his father Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

As Mounties narrowed in on Neil Snelson as the lead suspect of the 1993 slaying of Jennifer Cusworth, his friends and family felt the pressure of an investigation turned their way. A wiretap recording of a conversation between Snelson and his father Barry from Oct. 21, 2009, was played to the court last Friday, providing jurors insight into questions arising within his inner circle just days before his arrest. “How well did you know the girl?” Barry asked his son, explaining later police had been by his home, and were asking about Jennifer Cusworth. “I don’t know her—I never met her before,” Snelson said. “You didn’t see her?” asked Barry, making reference to the Oct. 16, 1993, Richter Street house party, where Cusworth was last seen. “There were 200 people at the party; it was packed,” Snelson said. Although he told his father twice he had no contact with the young woman who was found dead in a ditch on Swamp Road the next day, his father continued to question him about any possible connection. “They think, maybe, the girl got into the vehicle,” said Barry, making reference to questions police had about the brown truck Snelson drove years earlier. Snelson explained that his truck held three other people that night—two women and his friend Bart Ciancone, the latter being the only person he claimed to know. He dropped Ciancone off at his Knox Mountain home and said he proceeded to give the other two a ride to where they were going, although he couldn’t remember where that might be. “Bart (Ciancone) knew the two girls…he would know who the two girls were, they were his friends,” Snelson said. Police, however, indicated to Barry that they hoped the vehicle itself may have some answers. “They want to trace that vehicle,” Barry said, ex-

A former operator of the Fintry Queen is trying to drum up interest in seeing the once popular, but now idle, floating tourist attraction brought back to life. The ship, built in 1948 as a car and passenger ferry for Okanagan Lake and

turned into a fake paddlewheeler in the 1960s to offer lake cruises, has sat at its berth off Kerry Park downtown for the last three years.

NEWS ▼ TAR SANDS

Protest condemns project Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

No Tar Sands, no pipelines, no tankers. That was the message sent by Commotion Collective, a group of protesters concerned about fossil fuel extraction and government inaction on climate change. Diane Varga, the group’s organizer, rallied concerned individuals at the pedestrian overpass on Highway 97 at 10 a.m. Saturday. “We’re challenging some of the ideas put out there by the government, such as the Tar Sands are only about jobs,” said Varga, while standing near the banner on the overpass. “You’ll never hear Prime Minister Harper say the Tar Sands are about climate change. We’re going to be saying

that today.” According to Varga, the group was also showing support to an action that took place in Washington at the end of August and beginning of September. “There was a twoweek action there. That was against the extension of the Keystone XL pipeline. There’s going to be another action in support of Washington this Monday, the 26th. We’re here in support of that,” said Varga. “There’s going to be one more action, back in Washington D.C. on Oct. 7. That’s going to be the day of the final Congressional hearings on whether Congress is going to approve or disapprove the extension to the pipeline.” Varga has participated in many marches and rallies; however, Saturday’s

protest was the first one she had ever organized herself. Many drivers honked their horns while passing by the banners on either side of the pedestrian overpass. Varga said if nothing else, she hopes the protest helps people acknowledge that there is a group of worried individuals in Kelowna, and they refuse to be silent. “I think one clear thing that we’re doing today, is we’re announcing our presence. We are a unified group, we’re not going anywhere. If they can even begin to understand that we exist, that would be part of our success today.” Maggie Getz showed her support at the protest. She said she is concerned about climate change and the impact it’s having on the environment. “I think some people

School board will see change due to trustees departing Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Eleven people have picked up packages to run for school trustee, though only five allowed their names to be released to media prior to the filing period. Potential candidates will begin filing their nomination papers to make their run for the board of education official next Tuesday, and there’s at least one newcomer in the crowd. “I have been interested in

local politics most of my life and eventually you can no longer sit back and watch— you just have to do it,” said Greg Krasichynsky, a father and recent Okanagan College graduate who says he’s had a lifelong interest in learning and has definitely decided to run. Krasichynsky started his career as an administrator for health care education and worked as a volunteer tutor while living in Alberta. He returned to school at his daughter’s urging and re-

cently earned a diploma from OC, where he served as the president of the Okanagan College Business Students’ Association. He said his daughter has recently finished high school, and with his own education now complete, he figures there is now enough time in his schedule to pursue a political seat. He and the 10 other contenders considering joining the race already know several sitting trustees will bow out

this term. Westside trustee Jeff Watson has stated he will not run again due to the time commitment involved, and both Gail Given and Gail Scanlan have each decided to run for city council instead. “It’s something I’ve felt a calling to do,” said Given, who spoke to the Capital News before picking up her nomination papers at the end of August. Given’s husband, Brian Given, spent a decade on council before passing away two years ago.

Meanwhile, Wayne Horning has held a trustee seat for nearly as long. The three-term trustee has given nine years to the job and recently stated he will not seek re-election. Longtime Peachland-based trustee Moyra Baxter says she’s more than willing to give it another go. The departures of Given, Watson, Scanlan and Horning leave at least four of the seven seats open for new faces. The other incumbent trust-

ees, Anna Hunt-Binkley and Rolli Cacchioni, have yet to state their intentions publicly. Those who have picked up packages to potentially run include former school board chairman and school superintendent Murli Pendharkhar, Larry Gray, Rob Melle and Darren Haddrell—although packages can be picked up on behalf of another potential candidates as well.

Okanagan mayors seek action on several local issues Okanagan mayors want assurances from the provincial government that funding for the gang task force will be renewed. Mayors and chief administrators representing Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton and the Municipal District of West Kelowna met Sept. 21 in Kelowna to discuss issues of common interest. Along with ongoing funding for the RCMP’s Combined Forces Special Enforcement

Unit, the mayors are also seeking involvement from senior levels of government on transit, transportation and fire fuel mitigation. “We’re grateful to have assurances from B.C.’s Minister of Public Safety Shirley Bond to do everything in her power to ensure this task force funding continues,” said Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd. “Random gang violence can happen in any community and it’s too great a burden

for municipalities to deal with alone. “It’s in the national interest to ensure ongoing funding is in place to combat organized crime groups, no matter where the violence occurs.” The mayors also agreed ongoing funding is needed to ensure communities are not endangered by forest fires. The mayors supported West Kelowna’s effort to elicit a financial commitment from the province for fire fuel miti-

gation. “The threat to people and property from forest fire is well known in the Okanagan and we need help removing the deadwood and reducing the risk of interface fires,” said District of West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater. Transit and transportation issues continue to be top priorities through the Okanagan corridor. “We are all committed to improving intersection safety on Highway 97 and improving

the public transit governance model,” said Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert. “Our intersection safety concerns and a governance model for transit that was recently presented to Central Okanagan councils will be forwarded to Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom.” Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton received his colleagues’ support in developing a Valley-wide Asia-Pacific strategy to encourage more investment

and travel from China. “This is an area of economic development our region can work together on to explore how we can strengthen existing relationships with China and develop new opportunities in the Asian market,” said Ashton. Inter-municipal meetings are held quarterly and alternate between municipalities. The four mayors represent more than 80 per cent of the Okanagan’s population.

NEWS ▼ LANGUAGE OF AVATAR

Connecting to a fictional world Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

On Saturday, UBC Okanagan hosted Community Day, intended to showcase some of the latest and most intriguing research in the nation.

Community members had the opportunity to learn about innovative medical technology, the 2011 Vancouver riot, sustainability in everyday transportation and many other topics from various research departments.

But those who waited for the very last presentation of the day were treated to an incredibly unique area of study: Who are the speakers of Na’vi (the created language used in the film, Avatar)? Christine Schreyer, as-

sistant professor of Anthropology, made it her goal to find out. “I don’t know very much Na’vi myself,” admitted Schreyer. “A lot of people associate Na’vi as very similar to Klingon in terms of WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

CHRISTINE SCHREYER explains findings from her research about the people who speak Na’vi (the language from the movie Avatar) to a group of listeners at UBC Okanagan on Saturday, part of the Community day festivities. who speaks it: Obsessed fans. A lot of people see them as being strange individuals.” Schreyer was led to start studying who speaks Na’vi after teaching a course in fall, 2010, on Pigeons, Creoles and Created Language. “I wanted to know who they were and why they were learning Na’vi.” Schreyer created an online survey, which ran from mid-June to July 31, 2011. She aimed to find out: Who the speakers of Na’vi are, why they

wanted to learn Na’vi, how they’ve learned the language and what their thoughts are on the future of the language. She posted the survey on a Tuesday at 11 p.m. By 7 a.m. Wednesday morning, she had over 50 responses. Initially Schreyer prohibited anyone under 19years-old from filling out the survey. She instantly found, on various Avatar online forums, that this was a very unpopular move. Teenagers were eager

to share their experiences of discovering the language. As well, Na’vi speakers were concerned that with the survey being solely in English, a lot of the international community’s voices were being ignored. Various Na’vi speakers volunteered to redraft Schreyer’s survey into seven languages (including Na’vi, itself). In total, 293 people filled out the survey. Ten of those people filled out the survey in Na’vi. Schreyer’s research showed her that 62 per cent of Na’vi speakers were between the ages of 15 and 24-years-old. The youngest Na’vi speaker to fill out the survey was a 10-year-old girl whose entire family was dedicated to learning the Avatar language. Seventy-two per cent of those surveyed were male. Thirty-four individuals were completing a Bachelors Degree, 24 were completing a Masters Degree and a few PHDs were learning Na’vi in their spare time. Those who responded were from 38 different countries. Eight per cent claimed they didn’t even like the movie Avatar. There are multiple resources for those who are interested in learning Na’vi. The learn Na’vi website (www.learnnavi.org) was the most popular resource for those who answered the survey. The second best learning tool was Youtube. Schreyer said that the most popular question she receives is: Why do people learn Na’vi? “Pandora is better than Earth in every way. I get a feeling of escapism and of happiness any time I watch Avatar, like I am on Pandora. The language isn’t something I’m (very) good at, but it helps me to feel Na’vi,” said one beginner Na’vi speaker in the comment section of the survey.

Crown counsel makes its DNA case

▼ SNELSON TRIAL

Contradictions in evidence given Father from A1 plaining they had particular interest in a canopy. “My truck never had a canopy,” said Snelson. Snelson then told his father that the truck was eventually taken to an auto wrecker’s, although he didn’t know which one. The conversation offered a contrast to testimony given earlier in the week. Snelson’s friend Bart Ciancone testified last Monday that all he remembered from the ride home the night of the party was someone sitting on his lap in the truck, getting out of the passenger side door and saying, “nice meeting you.” Later in the week, Snelson’s ex-wife, Katherine Oystryk also offered a contradictory evidence. Although Snelson told his father he never had a canopy on his truck, nor did he like them, Oystryk showed a family album of photos from 1993, where the brown truck was visible. On the box, was a canopy, which she said went on and off with ease. The truck hasn’t been entered into evidence, as it never was found. Rounding out day eight of the trial, Crown counsel Iain Currie brought forth more people who spoke to the events of the night. Early in the day Keith Smith, who was living at the Richter Street house where the party was held, spoke about the activities of the night and the condition of Cusworth. Drinking, pot smoking and cocaine use were the activities of many party goers. Cusworth, he said, was “quite drunk” and he and others attempted to keep her from leaving on her own. Smith also testified that the purse, which Cusworth left behind when she disappeared from the party, was put into safe SALES

keeping by him and another housemate, Eric Mikkelson. Offering another layer of insight into the happenings of that night was Faith Klinksiek, who was asked by mutual friend Pam Coulombe to make sure the teen made it to the Bernard Avenue apartment she and Coulombe shared. Cusworth, she also testified, was drunk and looking forward to going home, when she last saw her. She told her to wait 10 minutes. Ronald Glave was asked to watch her, and he did for a while, noting in testimony offered Monday that Cusworth was in a pleasant mood, although impatient to leave. He last saw her go back in the house, to get Klinksiek. She testified Cusworth returned to the kitchen and walked behind her, where she assumed she was waiting. When she decided to leave, Cusworth was gone. A few party-goers looked around the street for her, until calling it a night.

Samples of DNA taken from slain teen Jennifer Cusworth’s body offered a seemingly ironclad link to the man standing trial for her 1993 murder. Dr. Norma Szakacs, an expert in forensic biology employed by the RCMP, testified Monday that there’s only a one in 36 trillion chance that DNA collected from a vaginal swab of Cusworth, didn’t belong to Neil Snelson. There’s a one in 75 billion chance that a sample collected from a rectal swab of the teenager was not a match to Snelson. The samples had previously been cross checked against 160 men who submitted their samples at the behest of police investigators, not to mention 220,000 profiles in the national DNA databank. Szakacs was one of the last witnesses to testify for Crown counsel, which Monday morning wrapped up its portion of the trial. She explained that the DNA collected in the summer of 2009 didn’t offer the first time that she’d worked with biological

evidence from Cusworth, after the teen was found dead, Oct. 17, 1993. In 1999, the young woman’s fingernail clippings and fingernail scrapings were examined for evidence. From fingernail scrapings of Cusworth’s right hand, testified Szakacs, no blood was found, and the DNA profile matched Cusworth. The left hand rendered the same results.

NEWS ▼ FINTRY QUEEN

Historic vessel in need of a buyer

THE FINTRY QUEEN, which has sat

Revival from A1

idle at the downtown lakeshore for the last three years, will be the subject of an open house today as a former owner of the vessel tries to drum up interest in having someone step forward to operate it again.

That’s despite its lengthy period of recent inactivity. He said the engines, wiring and the fire suppression system are all basically brand new, having been installed just before the ship went out of service. Schwab said he volunteered to help Chessor to find a buyer because he not only believes the ship has a future as a tourist attraction, but he also would like to be involved in bringing it back to life.

ALISTAIR WATERS/ CAPITAL NEWS

“I think there’s a market for it in the restaurant and meeting-convention business.” Schwab said with the former Okanagan Lake Bridge and its liftspan now gone, the entire lake has been opened up to Fintry Queen. He can envision one day offering trips that could link up with area wineries and other tourist attractions. The ship can hold 325 people but Schwab said with alternations, that number could be increased to nearly 500.

In a bid to raise awareness about the Fintry Queen to possibly attract a buyer, Schwab is holding an open house for the public today, inviting anyone who wants to go aboard to look around. The open house will run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. today. One of the most pressing issues is the future of the ship’s current dock. The dock is included in the area that the city has called for expressions of interest for regarding a new downtown marina. Schwab said the Fin-

try Queen could operate from elsewhere on the lakeshore as long as it was somewhere close to the downtown where people could get to it and would be aware of it. He has set up a website about the Fintry Queen, fintryqueen.ca, with information about the ship. The site says despite a public assumption that the Fintry Queen is in receivership, it is not. The courts have given Chessor’s company, Metro Developments Corp. as first mortgage holder, right to sell the ship.

Yet another record fall enrolment points to continued growth at Okanagan College. A snapshot of student enrolment in mid-September shows an overall four per cent increase in the number of students over the same time last year: 6,216 compared to 5,976 a year ago. That news comes in the wake of a 16 per cent increase in the college’s

summer enrolments. “This growth is an important signal,” says Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton. “It means we’re able to accommodate more students who are able to pursue their career and academic goals.” The growth is notable in a variety of areas, observes Hamilton. For example, first-year university science enrol-

ments have increased 51 per cent over the previous year (338, up from 254); student numbers in the environmental studies also more than doubled (50 compared to 20); students taking first year of business administration programs have increased about 10 per cent (556 compared to 504); and student enrolment in the two years of the Criminal and Social Justice Diplo-

ma program has climbed 53 per cent (129 compared to 84). These strong surges in enrolment highlight just a few of the diverse opportunities provided to students at Okanagan College. If the trend holds through the full year, 2011-12 will be the seventh year in a row that Okanagan College has grown. Since 2005, college registration has increased by 46 per cent—exceeding government-set targets each year. Last year, the college was bigger than Okanagan University College in its last year of operation (2004-05, before the advent of the College and UBC Okanagan). Over the course of this year, Okanagan College will provide courses and programs to more than 20,000 different people. The fall enrolment data only tells part of the picture at Okanagan College. It is a snapshot of students enrolled in programs that started in September. On a campus-by-campus basis, the fall headcount enrolment numbers, not including Continuing Studies courses: • Kelowna: 4,361 (4,118 in 2010) • Vernon: 773 (761 in 2010) • Penticton: 610 (604 in 2010) The number of students registered in distance education has grown to 137 from 112 last year. Course registrations in that area have grown to 1,072 from 722 in fall 2010.

Free cup of java from 7-Eleven 7-Eleven stores in Kelowna will participate in a free coffee giveaway to customers from 7 to 11 a.m. on Thursday. All three local stores will offer up a free medium 16-ounce cup of coffee. Called CofFREE, the promotion is being carried out at 7-Eleven stores across both Canada and the U.S. Americans have been celebrating National Coffee Day for the past few years on Sept. 29, but Canadians actually have more reason to celebrate. A total of 63 per cent of Canadians over the age of 18 drink coffee on a daily basis, making it the number one beverage choice of adult Canadians, surpassing milk, juice, soft drinks and beer. About 49 per cent of Americans drink coffee on a daily basis. “Since more Canadians drink coffee per capita than Americans, we felt it was high time we celebrated coffee with Canadians,” said Tim Donegan, vice-president for 7-Eleven Canada Inc. “This is our opportunity to thank our Canadian customers for 42 years of support and it’s a chance to introduce them to our extensive coffee beverage line.” Kelowna is a city of coffee lovers, with the Rutland store on Highway 33 topping the list for 7-Eleven coffee sales in the city. Calgary is 7-Eleven’s top overall market coffee seller.

▼ PET CARE

Remember that dogs have sensitive feelings too T here is a growing awareness about the importance of good mental health. There is an increase in the number of people seeking help and counseling. People are striving to improve their quality of life by using medications not only for severe mental problems but even for mild mood disorders. While we may consider this a people oriented issue, did you know that our canine friends may suffer from mental disorders as well? Mental problems for dogs usually manifest in themselves in behaviours that annoy and aggravate their owners. This results in anger reaction of the owner that may exacerbate the dog’s problem. This vicious cycle can be resolved by understanding the dog’s behaviour, and the management options to help pet owner’s either cope or resolve the problem. The most common behavioral problem of dogs is separation anxiety. In dogs, it is usually manifested by destructive and inappropriate behaviour when the dog gets left alone, even in a familiar environment. The most common

FURRY FRIENDS

Dr. Moshe Oz complaints I hear from owners are that the dog constantly howls barks or whines, destroys by chewing various objects in the house, furniture, doors and windows. Some dogs urinate and defecate in the house despite being house trained. These dogs will usually express extreme excitement when the owner returns home. This condition is extremely irritating for the dog’s owner, but it is crucial to understand the nature of this behaviour. These are symptoms

of severe stress. Dogs are social creatures. They consider the family as their “pack,” one in which they are an equal member. It is not natural for dogs to be separated from their owners so some dogs can get very distressed by it. When they express destructive behaviour, it is not done out of vindictiveness. It is their way of trying to free themselves. Soiling the house may represent a sign of severe emotional distress. Because we can not converse with the dog, the diagnosis of separation anxiety is tentative, and is done by ruling out other medical problems that may result in a similar behaviour. Puppies may show destructive behaviour as a part of teething rather than due to separation anxiety.

The St. Charles Garnier Guardians of God’s Creation Ministry, parishioners and pastor Fr. Pat Monette would like to thank the following businesses for their support which helped make Save Creation Day - the 3rd anniversary of our parish’s Green Initiative, on Sunday September 18th, 2011 such a special and successful event.

problem to consult a behavioural specialist. The treatment process usually involves desensitization training, in which the dog learns to cope with periods of separation that are gradually extended. It is also important to create a safe area for the dog, which it will feel secured and its ability to cause damage will be limited. The key is to confine the dog without making it feel isolated. Leaving an object with your smell such as shirt may help the dog feel closer to you. Behavioural modification medication are available for dogs. These medications are similar to human antidepressants and anxiolytics.

Most people find these medications very effective in reducing their dog’s stress level without sedating them. Owning a dog with a behavioral disorder will affect both the dog’s and the owner quality of life. There is no need to suffer any longer. If your dog is trashing your house, it is probably a call for help. Consult your veterinarian about more information on how to manage your dog’s behavioral issues and help both of you to live a better life.

Punishing the dog will not help solving the problem. On the contrary, when you punish your dog upon returning home, it may associate the punishment with your return rather than with the mischief it caused. This may stress it even more when you will leave home the next time. The management of this condition is not straight forward. This problem will not go away on its own. It requires perseverance in a process that is meant to ensure the dog that when you are leaving you are not deserting it and you will be back.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is fast becoming the most popular type of Regenerative Injection Treatment (RIT). I offer PRP treatments in my office, along with ozone treatments and standard dextrose Prolotherapy treatments. All three treat joint pain with injections and they may be used separately or in combination. Platelets are naturally present in your blood and are part of making blood clots with wounds and other injuries. Platelets also contain platelet derived growth factors which assist in healing. What is now known is that PRP turns on dormant stem cells to make new you. Until only a few years ago it was thought that it was only possible to get new stem cells from other people, specifically from the blood of an umbilical cord, or from an aborted fetus. We now know that we have dormant stem cells throughout our bodies, and that PRP from our own blood can activate and turn them on. I first heard about PRP at the American Association of Orthopaedic Medicine (AAOM) annual convention that I attended in Florida in April 2010. PRP results were great, but it was expensive. At the AAOM convention I attended in Las Vegas in April of 2011 I watched five separate presentations on PRP. They covered everything from research results to the practical aspects of delivering results to patients. In June of this year I attended a course in Oregon just on PRP. I came home and set up a specialized medical laboratory in my office that now allows me to offer PRP treatments. The traditional use of PRP has been to regenerate joints, as well as tendons and ligaments throughout the body. Dentists have used PRP treatments for years to better heal wounds after oral surgery. Another use for PRP is to regenerate new hair cells on the head, which is a natural answer to grey and thinning hair. So, for optimal healing for a sore knee or back, or to regenerate youthful hair on your head, consider a program of Regenerative Injection Treatments.

Numbers don’t work for Quebec

T

he federal NDP is tripping all over itself in trying to have it both ways—keeping its large Quebec caucus happy and simultaneously suggesting that giving Quebec more seats in the House of Commons is good for fastgrowing provinces like B.C. It’s impossible to achieve both ends. The Conservative government is expected to introduce a bill in Ottawa adding 30 seats to the House of Commons. All 30 would be in the three fastest-

growing and most under-represented provinces—B.C., Alberta and Ontario. The late Jack Layton tried to push the government in its minority days to add additional seats for Quebec as well, so that it would not have its influence watered down. He campaigned in Quebec on that basis in the recent federal election. The lone candidate for Layton’s job, party president Brian Topp, has endorsed this view, even having said in B.C. earlier this month that British Colum-

bians would welcome this approach. How wrong he is. Under the constitution, no province can have less MPs than senators. Thus Prince Edward Island is guaranteed a minimum of four seats. No province can have fewer MPs than it had in 1976, so no Atlantic province will lose representation. In the case of Quebec, it has had seats based on its share of the population, starting with 64 in 1,867 and eventually rising to 75. Redistribution in other provinces has been based on the

number of seats in Quebec. Historically, Quebec consistently had about one-quarter of Canada’s population, but in more recent years, Quebec’s share of the national population has gone down to about 23 per cent. “Rep by pop” applies to Quebec just as much as it does here. B.C. ridings are among the most-populated in Canada, and this province needs fairer representation. Quebec should maintain its 75 ridings, but is not entitled to any more unless its population increases.

Granted, that whim comes ties annual meeting may seem like a with enabling legislation that not only dry issue for most of us— kind of like allows them to exist but lays down a week-long council meeting without certain rights and responsibilities, but the “excitement” of local flavour— it’s still a subservient position. but it serves an important purpose. In the pecking order of politics,

municipal government is at the bottom. But it is also the most accessible level of governent to those being governed. When 160 municipalities get together and demand change, the province tends to take notice. It doesn’t always listen but a demand from the UBCM does get Victoria’s attention. So, it’s no wonder Okanagan Valley mayors held their own annual têteà-tête last week prior to heading to the UBCM gathering. (See story A4). There, they hammered out positions on the issues they see as front and centre— continued funding for B.C.’s combined cop unit that is go-

ing after gangs, provincial money to to stop forest fires before they start by cleaning up potential fire fuels, intersection safety on our roads and the subject many of them took to Victoria two weeks ago, more say in how their respective transit systems are run. The aim this week will be to get other municipal leaders to agree so Victoria will then have to listen. But that has not always been the government’s strong suit. Still, with an economy that has yet to rebound and still reeling from the voters rejection of the HST and a hole that decision will blow in its budget, this may be the year the folks calling the shots in Victoria pay a little more attention to the “little” people.

A few years back, the Liberal government made a big deal of announcing it now recognized municipalities as a form of government. And in recent years it has participated in partnerships on everything from social housing to roads to infrastructure (albeit because it did not want to foot as much of the bill as it has in the past). So it’s time for the newfound spirit of cooperation to be expanded and for Victoria to not only listen to municipalities, but to start acting on some of its requests.

▼ CIVIC ELECTION

The few who vote care enough to be informed To the editor: So, just as the candidate roster for upcoming civic election heats up, so too has the political infighting. The recent emergence of the FourChange.org lobbying group has injected a partisan tone into our civic politics not seen in Kelowna in previous campaigns. In the most recent civic election, some local residents’ organizations took the liberty of endorsing particular candidates they felt would best serve their commun-

ities interests which unfortunately opened the door for this type of politics; pitting community against community, and business against residential etc. Unfortunately, this FourChange initiative has not only publicly endorsed four members of our current city council, they have done so by also publicly discounting four others and encouraging voters to remove them from office. This is not only distasteful, it is cowardly. In

a community where only 20 per cent of eligible voters actually cast a ballot in civic elections, it is likely that those few do so because they actually have some idea of what is going on at city hall. As for the 80 per cent that have no interest in civic matters, they are not casting a ballot anyway. Those of us who chose to vote, do so, and have done so throughout the history of Kelowna, in an independent fashion; casting our support behind those individuals

we feel will best serve our city. Assuming that we, the average voters, need someone else to compile a list of who we should or should not vote for, is just plain degrading. If we intend to go down this road of petty politics, maybe it is time Kelowna considered a ward system and moved towards a climate of fullon partisan politics. Do we in this city want to go down the road of other Canadian cities (ie: Toronto and Vancouver) and unleash a system

that thrives on vicious turf wars between various factions within the community? This is a direction that Kelowna is coming dangerously close to taking and ultimately it is up to us voters to decide what kind of city we want in the future. So, on Nov. 19 I intend to exercise my right to vote entirely independent of any lobby group, and I would encourage my fellow citizens of this fine city to do the same. Sandra Wilmot, Kelowna

▼ RESPONSIBLE OWNERSHIP

Woman wants bylaw to keep neighbours’ cats, dogs from ‘crapping’ in her flower beds To the editor: I agree with the suggestion that a bylaw be introduced that requires all cats be spayed/neutered, but further include in this bylaw rules on keeping these cats in their own yard. As a quiet, considerate taxpayer and neighbor I am subjected to cats in the neighbourhood using my flower bed as a litter box. A call to City Hall informed me there are no cat bylaws and a sug-

gestion to call the SPCA. That phone call ended by stating there is nothing they can do. One of the homes in my neighbourhood has five cats. After not being able to sit on our bottom deck because of the foul feces odor I have quietly tried to dissuade the cats from crapping in our flower beds by purchasing over the counter deterrent products. Someone told me to try moth balls. This led

to a different kind of odor that makes it impossible for anyone to enjoy the outdoor areas. I have purchased wire to cover my plants, but this only works in the winter when nothing is in bloom and looks just ugly. I have now turned my flower bed into a bad looking “rock” garden. I have purchased large flat rocks just to cover areas of unplanted dirt because the cats dig and poop in my flower bed.

These cats also use my patio furniture as their personal lounge pads. I now have to tip chairs, or take the padded seats in every night or they are covered in cat hair. The neighbours on either side of me can confirm the cat activity. Why can’t City Hall do something about cats roaming and what they are leaving behind? People have rules on dogs and picking up after them and keeping them in their own

yard. I am tired of the crap that five cats, a German Shepherd and two pigeons leave in my yard. Why should I bare the expense and yard contamination when I don’t own an animal? And, yes, it is time to get tough and make people with cats and/or too many animals be responsible. C. Permann, Kelowna

ficient and self-sustaining, and by doing so create more wealth, personal freedom and free time. So, let’s talk for a moment about the entrepreneurial investor with a venture earning some level of profit able to accept another exciting challenge— managing money so that it may work to actually produce more money. Investing for maximum return involves smart leverage. An entrepreneurial investor will often leverage the success of that first business that’s created to start up a second or third company based on that original business model or concept. Think about this with me for a brief moment— by franchising the original model or buying into other healthy business ventures, the entrepreneurial investor can get into the career of not just selling basic products and services, but of selling entire business ventures. Now there is a thought that draws my attention, a sort of financial rewards chess game. The goal here is, of course, to still create profit.

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young Rather than remain at the helm of this myriad of ventures, the entrepreneurial investor will buy them, ensure that they have valuable equity or some attractive allure and potential, and then sell them to other entrepreneurs or budding entrepreneurs-in-waiting. The focus may be seen then as comparable to a real estate investor who buys a house, rehabs it and flips it for a profit. The challenge is to avoid falling back into the role of operating the venture as an administrator or manager. To meet this problem with a viable solution, the true entrepreneur will typically appoint someone else to take over the reins of the venture. Then the investor becomes more of a director or silent partner of sorts, who shares in the profits while enjoying the relief

of not having to share the routine day-to-day management responsibilities. The term entrepreneurial investor links investors with entrepreneurs, and with good reason. They have many traits in common. Both invest time and money with a goal of realizing a profit for their equity. They’re self-confident, independent and have the ability to remain in a positive frame of mind whether they win or lose. Unlike most of us, they envision the future clearly it seems, and they do persevere—which is a common trait of all entrepreneurially-minded people. Recognizing the entrepreneur within often takes time and patience. Many different types of people are drawn to entrepreneurship drawn by a wide variety of talents, aptitudes and personal traits. The attitude, mind-set, passion and character that I so often write about in this column, which to me defines a successful entrepreneur, are sometimes hard to pinpoint or sum up in a profile. But, it’s always easy to recognize in an individual or spot in an action within a business arena. Learning about the symptoms and traits of the entrepreneurial investor can give added fuel, hope and impetus with what potential entrepreneurs already know about themselves and their personal and financial aspirations. Having even an inventory of desirable characteristics can help us better clarify our own sense of financial and personal reward purpose. It can help us reach objectives en route to greater attainment of higher goals and bigger benchmarks. Lastly, it can help us also grasp in a practical and tangible way, the disposition of the successful

entrepreneur. Indeed, entrepreneurial investor in a manner of a wonderfully inspiring boost of confidence, foresight and determination when we can realize and accept, that we, too, may share that winning entrepreneurial attitude. I would like to conclude with six steps to success that the entrepreneurial investor may undertake that offer an abundance of thought for you and I. They are: • begin with a vision • identify your action plan and your contingency plan • seek knowledge wherever you can • re-evaluate regularly • stay focused • resist the temptation to make decisions randomly Please remember, the future can’t be predicted, but it may be controlled. In short, to consistently achieve anticipated results, top investors and entrepreneurs know that a winning strategy consists of a clear vision, a focused, disciplined effort based on specific objectives, as well as nimble application of knowledge and information—all of which may be skillfully executed for optimum outcome. This is precisely what successful investors and entrepreneurs have in common—an uncanny ability to use their premeditated planning process to analyze and confidently make complex decisions when the future consequences are uncertain. I’ll bet that there are many entrepreneurial heads out there shaking in approval of this theory. My neck is sore just nodding in agreement with all of you.

Natural methods to curb crab grass

I

t’s crab grass season again as this insidious annual weed shows up in our lawns as a low lying flat bladed grass with purple seed heads. Without the traditional chemical weed controls available to use, it can be quite difficult to control. However, here are a few tips that may help. You will notice crab grass only grows in the hot sunny parts of the lawn and usually it grows best where the lawn is weak. It only competes well if it is able to find open ground so the best way to keep it at bay is to keep your good turf grass healthy and thick. A large infestation of crab grass should be removed physically before

FROM THE GROUND UP

Don Burnett the seed matures then be re-seeded with a good turf grass. In the growing season, don’t cut the grass too short as this will encourage germination of crab grass. There have been some favourable results using corn gluten meal in spring if the directions are followed closely. As with any weed problem, it is very important to keep on top of crab grass before it takes over and becomes very diffi-

cult to manage. *** My upcoming session on “putting the garden to bed” is chock full of information that will protect your investment from winter damage and get the most out of your garden in the fall. This gardening workshop includes information on planting bulbs, winterization of roses and perennials, fabulous fall colour ideas as well as lawn care. Spring is just around the corner as what you do in the garden this fall has a huge effect on the health of your garden next year. This session will be held at the Mission Activity Centre on Saturday, Oct. 1, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m.. Then on Oct. 22, I

will present a seminar on house plant care. I actually call it my “top 10 ways to kill a house plant.” I figure if you can learn how to kill them, you will be much better at keeping them alive and healthy. Nothing brings life into the home better than the lush foliage of house plants, yet more often than not we see plants that are dead or dying. I can help you make sure this doesn’t happen to your plants. A few key points will enable you to have a beautiful jungle-like environment in your home. This session takes place Saturday, Oct. 22, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m., at the Okanagan Mission Activity Centre.

Most of what Westerners find objectionable in the behaviour of some Moslems is culture-based. That behaviour would horrify Mohammed, peacemaker and respecter of all regardless of religion, race or gender. One way to commemorate this anniversary is to educate ourselves about Islam, which looks to Jewish and Christian roots and teaches much similar wisdom. Misunderstanding Islam and discriminating against Muslims has caused much suffering. Mohammed’s earliest revelations were about how folks should treat their neighbours—caring for the poor and widowed and orphaned— practicing the fundamental equality that had been part of nomadic culture, but was eroded in prosperous mercantile cities like Mecca. His followers came from many different clans, which was a cause for concern since loyalty to one’s clan had always come first in Arab culture.

SOUL SEARCHING

Linda Horton He succeeded at the impossible-seeming task of unifying dozens of warring tribes. Not all tribes became Moslem, but all became sworn allies. Mohammed was puzzled by religious intolerance, especially between Jews and Christians. The words of the first Edict of religious tolerance in Europe, advocated by my own religious ancestors in Transylvania in 1568, are actually from the Koran: “Faith is the gift of God, and cannot be compelled.” Mohammed was also vehemently anti-racist. For his time, Mohammed was a champion of women. The Koran declares that women have the right to inherit property, to keep

their dowries, to be merchants in their own right, and to be educated. Nowhere does it mention the veil. Nor was taking up to four wives an indulgence, let alone evidence of lechery. The Koran is clear. Widows and orphaned wards were best cared for by marriage—and with clan warfare common, there were many of them. But if a man couldn’t treat them all the same, he must stick to one wife. As Karen Anderson, author of A History Of God, points out, there was little room for individualism in a nomadic lifestyle always on the edge of survival. The pillars of Islam are concrete, external practices that are quite clear-cut. When we took our children to visit the local mosque last spring, the local Imam explained this too us. What most interests the Imam, an engaging and compassionate man, is how to live a just and caring life.

He believes that the practices of his faith— praying five times a day, helping the poor and fasting to remember what it is like to be hungry, pilgrimage to Mecca— help him stay in tune with “the great light that is God,” so that the small light within him can grow and shine. And when he is tuned in to that light, he acts out of the moral, generous, caring side of his human nature, rather than the greedy, self-centered side. Isn’t that what most religions aspire to at their best? Our world can’t afford the level of Islamaphobia we have seen in the past decade. May the 9/11 anniversary we recently commemorated remind us that we are called by the Spirit of Love to build bridges of understanding across the gaps of religion and culture. Rev. Linda Weaver Horton is minister of the Unitarian Fellowship of Kelowna.

eing “40” never looked so good for Orchard Park Shopping Centre. Opened on Sept. 28, 1971, at a cost of $10 million with 21 retailers, the shopping centre’s anchor store was Simpsons-Sears while The Bay was still under construction. Today, it is the largest enclosed shopping centre between Calgary and Vancouver, with more than170 retailers. Some of the original stores still around include Sears, Shoppers Drug Mart, Peoples Jewellers, Jack Fraser, Reitmans and Purdy’s Chocolates. Birthday celebrations will take place throughout this week starting on Wednesday to Sunday. Watch for a display of pictures, advertising and lease plans from 1971, a giveaway of 1,000 commemorative shopping totes as well as limited offers and new product demonstrations from several retailers. Norbert Gelowitz is the general manager of Orchard Park. Call 250860-3742. Congratulations to Barry Meckler, president and CEO of Interior Savings Credit Union, who is the recipient of the prestigious 2011 Business Leader of the Year Award. This award is sponsored by UBC Faculty of Management and recogniz-

es his leadership and outstanding contribution to the local business community. Popular cosmetics store Sephora will open on Friday, Sept. 30, at Orchard Park Shopping Centre. The large store is a virtual paradise of endless beauty options with more than 9,000 products representing some 200 cosmetic brands, including Sephora’s own collection of makeup, skin care, tools, accessories and bath and body products. Sephora’s is the first beauty retailer to employ the unique open-sell philosophy, allowing clients to shop a myriad of brands and encouraging them to try, test and play with everything from lip glosses to blushes and skin care to fragrances. The store’s prestige cosmetic lines are showcased in gorgeous open displays for clients to have the freedom to explore and sample at their leisure. Sheryl Pachal is the store director. The Jay Ess Music School will celebrate 35 years of music teaching this month. Owners Robert and Lynda Jay originally opened the school along with a retail store called Jay Somans Music World on Lawrence Avenue. They expanded to Bernard Avenue and then moved back to Lawrence, shrinking the retail element, while continuing to teach voice, piano and guitar. At that time, Lynda at that time was also the coordinator of the Kiwanis Music Festival while Robert began a five year stint conducting the Okanagan Symphony Choir. They formed an alliance

Rutland Celebrates Community Spirit at the Scarecrow Festival CONTRIBUTED BY

DEBORAH GUTHRIE

This Sunday marks the 4th year of Uptown Rutland’s Scarecrow Festival, highlighting community spirit and bringing diverse groups together to make the Festival a success. Planning this year’s event began shortly after the 2010 Scarecrow Festival, and dedicated committee members and volunteers have worked together since early March to ensure everything is in place for a great day of family fun. “I am thrilled with how much our volunteers and community partners have put into this event - their assistance has made it all possible�, says Deborah Guthrie. “This is what the festival is all about, celebrating community and bringing people together.� The Telus Ambassadors, with their years of festival volunteer experience, will be assisting throughout the event, and Rutland Middle School students have pitched in to build the frames for the scarecrow contest. Volunteers from Willow Park Church designed and made the costume for the yet-to-be-named scarecrow, and many, many volunteers have assisted in other areas. Rutland Salvation Army volunteers have worked for months to set aside unsalable clothing for the estimated 160 scarecrow building contest entries, saving heavily worn or torn items from recycling. Other community partners include Uptown Rutland’s businesses with prize donations and festival support, Kelowna Community Resources and the Multicultural Market, BC Fruit Growers Association, Interior Savings Credit Union, Fortis BC, Kon Kast and a host of others. “We are extremely pleased that Communities of Black Mountain has partnered with us this year as the Festival’s Title Sponsor� says Nick Aubin, President of URBA. “The 2011 festival will be the best ever, and the relocation to beautiful Lion’s Park with its extra space and on-site facilities was a wise choice by the committee.� Big White Resort will also be at the festival with their obstacle course, and the City of Kelowna Recreation and Cultural Services is supporting the event with a second obstacle course and Willow Park Church will be there with their bouncy castle. The Kid’s Zone activities also include a fish pond, crazy hair station, face painting, art activities, bounce

when they see the value of their investments decrease on paper, the reaction may be to sell. It is bad timing to sell at a loss due to market volatility. The psychology of investing does strange things at the peaks or troughs of market cycles.

Human emotions often influence investors to make misguided decisions. If the markets make you nervous, or if you sell out of the equity markets to retreat into the safety of GICs, be careful of what you wish for. This is a newer breed

of retirement planning. GMWBs are designed to provide a guaranteed income stream for life, and also have additional features. In pre-retirement you can earn an income bonus each year that no withdrawal is taken, regardless of market conditions. These bonuses are not cash deposits. They increase the basis for calculating the amount taken as retirement income in the future. You also have an opportunity to increase your income guarantee when equity markets perform better than anticipated. The longer you can wait to start the withdrawal process in retirement; the payout percentage will increase. There is a survivor pension for your spouse after your death, similar to company owned pension plans. In the event of death, a minimum of 100 per cent of the investment (proportionally reduced for any withdrawal) would be guaranteed to be paid to the named beneficiary. This also eliminates

the risk of market volatility, when death occurs during a low point in the equity markets. A GIC investment pays one to three per cent per year based on today’s low interest rates. A RRIF minimal withdrawal payment at age 71 is 7.38 per cent. At age 77, the withdrawal payment is 8.15 per cent. The RRIF minimal withdrawal payment increases each year to max out at age 94 with the mandatory withdrawal payment of 20 per cent. When you do the math, the calculation will show you that your GIC principal decreases each year by about five to seven per cent. A RRIF quickly depletes when the annual mandatory RRIF income increases each year, while the GIC interest income pays less than 1/2 of the revenue income required. A GIC investment / savings strategy will guarantee you run out of money if you live long enough. You should convert

the necessary amount of retirement income into a guaranteed income for life investment strategy to ensure you do not run out of money in retirement. If you are responsible for your own retirement, and your own personal pension, you should think and act like the large pension companies in Canada. Pensionize your own nest egg. The No. 1 fear after you accumulate wealth is the pervasive fear of losing your accumulation of wealth. You need to build a solid financial foundation to guarantee your income stream in retirement, to ensure your money does not run out during your lifetime.

costs of online Europeans first to reach Okanagan Valley travel agencies John Huby

CONTRIBUTOR

I

t has become more SENIORS’ popular to go online CONCERNS to look for accommodations when travelling. However, many seniors often think if they book a room online, that room has been booked Sharen with a hotel or motel. Marteny Before booking a room, check to see if the web site is that of the hotel or motel, or an online travel agency. Otherwise, it could unexpectedly cost you money. When a room is booked through an online travel agency, the cost of the room is immediately charged to your credit card. When the room is booked with the hotel, the card information is taken, but the cost of the room is not charged until the person has checked in. If the person wants a refund, they must get it from the online travel agency and not from the hotel, as the room was booked and paid for through the online travel agency and not the hotel. In fact, the hotel does not even know how much the person may have been charged. For seniors who can get confused by this, it’s important to check with the online travel agency to find out the refund policy. It’s difficult enough to get a refund, but if the price was for a blowout offer, it might be nonrefundable. As well, after obtaining a room rate online, call the hotel and ask if they will directly match the price. Sometimes, the price that the hotel offers is lower than the online travel agency offer, or the hotel might be happy to match the price. It has happened where people who have been at the same hotel and booked directly with the hotel had a nicer room for a better price than people who booked through the online travel agency. Another thing for seniors to take note of: Should you arrive at your destination hotel and find out you need to make changes in the dates that have been booked that might qualify you for a refund, again you have to negotiate that with the online travel agency that made the reservation on your behalf. Many hotels like to do special things for seniors such as having a larger dial telephone in the room or even making sure that the room is closer to the elevator. But that comes from dealing directly with the hotel when making a reservation. However, if seniors book a room through an online travel agency, then the hotel doesn’t have any information about those possible desires prior to your arrival. I would recommend that seniors always call the hotel that they are interested in staying at prior to booking a room. Let the hotel know of any special needs you need to be met, or if you are a past guest. Give the hotel/ motel manager the opportunity to provide you with a room price and personal service you deserve. Sharen Marteny is a services consultant for seniors in Kelowna. www.seniorsconsulting.net

September 2011 marks a significant bicentennial for the Okanagan Valley, representing 200 years since the first Europeans were recorded as having entered this valley. In September 1811, a group of fur traders from the Pacific Fur Company came up the Okanagan River from near its junction with the Columbia River, on their route north to the location of presentday Kamloops. They chose to mainly follow trails that aboriginal tribes had used from ancient times. For more than 35 years, this Okanagan Valley route was an important link for the fur trade, with horse-borne brigades regularly transporting furs and supplies through the valley, to and from the Lower Columbia River and the Pacific Coast. This critical route, first travelled by the Pacific Fur Company, was then taken over by the North West Company, and finally used by the Hudson’s Bay Company. During the early 1800s, the North West Company had developed the fur trade westwards over the Rockies, into an extensive area they named New Caledonia, which was approximately across North-Central British Columbia, generally considered being that area west of the Rockies where the Chipewyan language was used. With intense competition from the Hudson’s Bay Company, the North West Company decided to expand southward into the Columbia River basin. This decision was further precipitated by the activities of other independent rival trading companies operating to the south

and west, such as the Pacific Fur Company headed by J.J. Astor. It was a serious race between the competing fur traders to set up business and maximize profits. The trade was based on the indigenous population’s desire to obtain trade goods as provided by the fur companies. The local First Nations peoples did the trapping, and exchanged the skins for the coveted trade goods, all to satisfy a high European demand for furs. It was an important business that proved largely profitable to the fur companies, satisfied the indigenous population’s immediately perceived demands, but began a major change in the latter’s lifestyle. This would not only affect the First Nation’s culture, but was also the beginning of general declines of fur-bearing mammals in the area. In early 1811, the Pacific Fur Company had established a trading post by the mouth of the Columbia River, which they named Astoria. By August 1811, a trading party from the Pacific Fur Company, including David Stuart, Ovide Montigny and Alexander Ross, penetrated inland up the Columbia River by boats. They established the fur trading post of Fort Okanogan (American spelling), near the junction of the Columbia and Okanogan Rivers (now close to the community of Brewster in Washington State). In September 1811, leaving Ross alone at the new building at Fort Okanogan, Stuart, with Montigny and two other of his men, began the first recorded journey through

the Okanagan Valley. They travelled using packhorses (traded from local aboriginals), going from Fort Okanogan, north to Thompson’s River (Kamloops) and the Shuswap Indians. This historic trip was expected to take only one month, but it took six months. They were delayed by the winter snows, and did not rejoin Ross at Okanogan until March 1812. Stuart had found that the natives were very willing to trade furs in exchange for trade goods, and later during 1812 he went north again, and

set up a trading post at Thompson’s River In the words of David Stuart, from the book by Alexander Ross, titled Adventures of the First Settlers on the Oregon or Columbia River, as published 1849: “After leaving this place,” said he, “we bent our course up the Oakinocken, due north, for upwards of 250 miles, till we reached its source; then crossing a height of land fell upon Thompson’s River, or rather the south branch of Fraser’s River, after travelling for some time amongst a powerful nation called the

She Whaps. The snow fell while we were here in the mountains, and precluded our immediate return; and after waiting for fine weather the snows got so deep that we considered it hopeless to attempt getting back, and, therefore, passed our time with the She Whaps and other tribes in that quarter. The Indians were numerous and well disposed, and the country throughout abounds in beavers and all other kinds of fur; and I have made arrangeSee Reach A23

Fur trading brigades faced long treks ments to establish a trading post there the ensuing winter. On the 26th of February we began our homeward journey, and spent just twenty-five days on our way back. The distance may be about 350 miles.” In 1813, the Pacific Fur Company was bought out by the North West Company. The North West Company and The Hudson’s Bay Company were then combined under the name of the latter in 1821. The Hudson’s Bay Company established Fort Vancouver on the lower Columbia River in 1823, forming the company’s headquarters and principal connection for the Columbia District and New Caledonia. The Hudson’s Bay Company then routinely used the trade route through the Okanagan Valley. Travel by the fur company personnel was normally conducted in large groups, referred to as “brigades.” Bales of furs (referred to as the “returns”) were carried out in early summer from Fort St. James in northern New Caledonia. It was a long and tedious journey. Firstly, this was a trip by boats on the Fraser River for 390 km. The next section was 700 km overland by packhorse train, consisting of 290 km between Fort Alexandria (on the Fraser River) to Thompson’s River (Kamrloops), then a further 410 km to Fort Okanogan. From Fort Okanogan the route continued by tboat for another 680 km, down the Columbia River to Fort Vancouver. Usually, the same difrficult trek was taken in reverse each late summer, with general supplies and trade items being taken back into the New Caledonia area, which to Fort St. James on Stuart Lake, was a total distance of about 1770 km each way. The fur brigade pack trains often consisted of up to about a couple of hundred horses (sometimes many more), and several dozen men. Each horse usually carried two packs, totalling a load per horse of about 180 pounds weight. The employees of the fur companies were mainly French-Canadians, with some Iroquois from Eastern Canada, and the officers were usually Scottish

One of the recreations of a fur trader’s life was to accompany the Indians on their hunting expeditions. Ross recorded hunting bear with Indians in 1817; a large party with 73 participants mounted on horseback, three days out from Kamloops, wounded a bear. This may have been in the country along the ridges near the headwaters of Bear Creek and what is now Trepanier Creek, where the following trepanning incident may have taken place. The bear wounded an Indian named “Short Legs.” The Indian’s skull was fractured, and Ross and company had to attend to him at the camp, carefully removing pieces of broken bone from the injured Indian’s skull. Six weeks later “Short Legs” was recovered. It is quite possible that this “trepanning incident” is the origin of the name for “Trepanier Creek” by Peachland. Several of the officers of the fur companies, such as Ross and Gabriel

and English. The locations of encampments where the brigade stopped for the night varied, dependant on the progress made due to prevailing conditions. An average time for the brigade journey, through the Okanagan Valley between Fort Okanogan and Kamloops, was about eight or nine days. The various stopping points and significant geographic places (such as creeks and rivers crossed) along the route, were named on early maps by the employees of the fur traders, and these were often given French-Canadian names. In December 1812, Alexander Ross had made a journey through the Okanagan Valley, and visited David Stuart at Kamloops with a voyageur called Jacques, and it could be through this companion that the name originated for (“Jacques”) Jack Creek, near present-day Peachland. Ross became the first post manager of Fort Okanogan, from 1814 to 1817.

Franchère, were knowledgeable of classical literature. The significance of this may reflect in the choice of names of at least two local creeks in the Okanagan Valley: Aeneas (“the wanderer”) Creek, and Equesis (“the horsemen”) Creek. It was the Hudson’s Bay Company’s policy to support what it considered to be the moral and religious improvement of its employees, and that of the natives. Some missionaries entered the local area, often travelling on the longer journeys with the fur brigade. But usage of the Okanagan Valley route by the fur traders was soon curtailed. In 1846, the Oregon Treaty set the international border at the 49th parallel, severing the route to the Columbia River. By that time the fur traders had shifted their route westwards, connecting Fort Thompson (Kamloops) to the Fraser River Valley and the Lower Mainland.

O-line dominates as Sun roll over Broncos Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

It was a dynamic half of football that the Okanagan Sun would surely like to duplicate on a weekly basis. In one of the club’s more dominating 30minute performances in recent memory, the Sun (7-1) racked up a 49-0 half-time lead, then cruised to a 50-6 win over the Kamloops Broncos in B.C. Football Conference action Sunday at the Apple Bowl. While head coach Jason Casey lauded a total team effort on the offensive side of the ball, he was particularly impressed by the work of the men in the trenches. “I can’t say it enough, I’m so pleased with our O-line, they’re playing big mean and nasty,” Casey said. “I want defenses to fear our O-line, so for the first half I thought they played phenomenal and guys feed off that. “As a whole I’m very pleased, there are just minor things we need to tweak.” Casey was equally encouraged by the Sun’s big guns on offense, including quarterback Jeremy Mraovic, who completed 13 of 15 passes for 324 yards and four touchdowns. He added another score on the ground, before taking a seat on the

Football Conference action Sunday at the Apple Bowl. bench for the second half. “That’s the kind of thing you want, your quarterback is traditionally your leader, he’s leading by example, we want to see our guys raise their game to that level, so we’re pleased to see what happens in Week 9 and Week 10.” Mraovic hooked up with Danny Turek for 114

yards and two touchdown passes as the chemistry between the two Manitoba natives continues to grow. “Me and Danny talk about it every day and we just work hard in practise in getting our timing down,” said Mraovic. “We know we can be a dynamic duo, but he’s not the only guy in our re-

ceiving corps who can do damage, we’ve got four really, really good receivers.” One of those four receivers, Tommy Howes, hauled in a pair of TD passes from Mraovic. Robbie Yochim, with an interception return, and Steven Doege on a twoyard plunge scored the other Sun touchdowns.

In their last three outings, with Jay Christensen serving as offensive coordinator, the Sun has scored 161 points. “He knows the game, he understands every single position and he’s a great teacher,” Casey said, “so I wouldn’t say it’s just a coincidence. “I mean we’ve got the talent there, and him com-

ing in a tweaking the system and being exceptional teacher, I think everyone’s feeding off that and guys are playing well.” On defense, Doege was his usual disruptive self with three more quarterback sacks. With the game well in hand in the second half, the Sun coaching staff subbed in a number of backups to get some much needed reps in anticipation of their final two regular season games. And while being outscored second half by the Broncos isn’t a major concern for his club, Casey would have liked a much sharper effort over the last two quarters, particularly on defense. “To me as a coach, a close game like that with our defense, we’re not winning that game right now,” Casey said. “So we’ve got a lot of work to do in that aspect. “We didn’t take our foot off the pedal (in the second half), we just changed gears per se, and there’s still some mistakes that we’re making that we need to tweak to get ready for next week and the week after.” The Sun will visit the Chilliwack Huskers this weekend, then will wrap up the the regular season Oct. 9 at the Apple Bowl when they take on the rival Vancouver Island Raiders (8-0) in a game that will decide first place. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

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

Bulmer impresses the Wild

Warriors jump off to a positive 2-0 start

Rockets from A25 a penalty shot in OT before the Rockets won it in the shootout. “I think for the first game there were a lot of good things happening,” said Rockets head coach Ryan Huska. “We took a penalty late in the third period that put us in trouble but we found a way to win.” While the Rockets celebrated the win, McColgan touched down in Kelowna after being sent back to the Rockets from the New York Rangers training camp. Huska said getting the team’s leading scorer back will add speed and offense and added McColgan’s work over the summer at the Team USA world junior camp and with the Rangers will make him a better all-around player. “The challenge for Shane is to develop a solid two-way game,” said Huska. “He had good experiences over the summer and at the Rangers camp and he understands how hard you have to work to be a professional.” Meanwhile the Rockets are still waiting to see how far forward Brett Bulmer will go at the Minnesota Wild’s NHL camp. Bulmer, 19, is having an excellent camp and has impressed with his combination of grit, size and skill. “There’s a lot to like. We think he can be a big, strong power winger,” Wild GM Chuck Fletcher told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. “We’ve got to do what’s right for the team and what’s right for Brett, and right now the right thing in both cases is to keep him here. “He would love to stay here. He’s excited. But he recognizes when you’re 19, he’s going to have to be playing to be around here this season. So he has work to do to prove he belongs. This will be a big test for him. The pace of play will pick up this week, the games will get faster and the lineups will get stronger. We’ll see if he can continue to keep pace.” The Rockets play their home opener this Saturday at Prospera Place as they host the Vancouver Giants in the team’s only game of the weekend.

The Westside Warriors will try to make it three straight wins on the road to open the new B.C. Hockey League campaign when they visit the Salmon Arm SilverBacks on Wednesday night. The Warriors took care of business on opening weekend of the 2011-12 season with a convincing two-game sweep of the hometown Trail Smoke Eaters. After a 7-3 win in the opener on Friday, Westside completed the sweep

with a 5-1 victory over Trail on Saturday night at Cominco Arena. Rookie forward Connor Dempsey, 19, led the Warriors attack with a pair of power play goals. “It definitely feels good to get the first ones out of the way so early in the season to get your confidence up,” said Dempsey, a native of Massachusetts. Tyson Witala also scored his first goal as a Warrior, while Brayden Sherbinin and Travis

Blanleil rounded out the Westside scoring. Steve Racine earned his second consecutive win in the Warriors net, stopping all but one of the 28 shots fired his way. “I thought we played great,” Racine said of his team’s effort over weekend. “I can’t say enough about how well our defence is playing…it makes my job a lot easier.” On Friday, Tyler Krause scored a pair of goals to lead the Warriors

▼ KELOWNA CHIEFS

Offensive output marginalized by defensive miscues Offense doesn’t appear to be a problem for the Kelowna Chiefs, a handful of games into its second year in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League. In five games this season the Chiefs are averaging over four goals per game. Problem is they’ve allowed just as many goals as they’ve scored in a 3-and-2 start to the season. “We have lots of of-

fense but we have some serious work to do in our own end,” said Chiefs head coach Ken Andrusiak after the Chiefs won two and lost one in a three game weekend. “But overall, we’ve looked pretty darn good.” The Chiefs host the Osoyoos Coyotes tonight (Tuesday) at Rutland Arena playing its fourth game in five days in a busy stretch to open the season. On the weekend the

team defeated Nelson 4-3 in double overtime, outscored Beaver Valley 6-5 and dropped a 4-1 decision to Castlegar on Sunday in a three game road trip. “It was a pretty good weekend,” said Andrusiak. “The third game we didn’t have much left in the tank. I wasn’t too happy with the way we played but it was the third game in three days.” Tuesday night will see the defending KIJHL champion Osoyoos Coy-

SPORTS ▼ OKANAGAN ROCKETS

First-year players shine in coach’s eyes It may only have been the second game of the season for the Okanagan Rockets, but Sunday’s 4-2 win over the Greater Vancouver Canadians in the B.C Major Midget League was nearly a must win. After dropping the season opener on Saturday at the Capital News Centre in Kelown, the Rockets

avoided an 0-2 start and earned a split on the opening weekend in the BCMML, defeating Vancouver 4-2. Second year player Harlan Orr paced the Rockets attack with two goals and an assist while newcomer Parker Bowles had a goal and two assists. Goaltender Brenden Mills played both games

of the weekend. After making 37 saves in a 3-2 loss on Saturday, Mills was sharp again on Sunday, kicking aside 20 of 22 shots to pick up his first BCMML win. The Rockets also received a goal from rookie Brett Mennear, who was one of the Rockets most consistent forwards during the first weekend, according to the Rockets head coach James Eccles, who was full of praise for his first year players. “I thought they were

Kelowna, the UBCO men followed up Saturday night with a thrilling five-set win over the defending national champion Trinity Western University Spartans.The Heat rebounded from two sets down against the Spartans to take the match 2125, 20-25, 25-21, 25-21, 15-13. The Heat played a mix of veterans and rookies, with all players seeing the floor for significant reps over the weekend. Rookie setter Jon Russo was a weapon from the service line, firing nine jump serves in a row at one point in Saturday’s match to pull the Heat out of an early 0-3 hole. “Everyone played exceptionally well,” said Heat captain Nate Speijer. “We had our ups and downs but fought through them. Our rookies really stepped up when they needed to.” Head Coach Greg Poitras was equally impressed with his squad. “We accomplished lots this weekend. Our goal was to learn a lot, win or lose,” Poitras said. “I was really impressed with our freshmen. They got a lot of minutes against two CIS volleyball powerhouses.” The Heat is on the road this weekend as they travel to the coast to faceoff once again with Trinity Western Spartans, Friday and Saturday night at Surrey Christian School.

SPORTS ▼ UBCO

Both soccer squads settle for draws The UBC Okanagan Heat played to a 1-1 draw with Thompson Rivers University in PacWest women’s soccer action Saturday in Kamloops. The Heat got on the board first in the match in the 24th minute as thirdyear midfielder Emily Braun fired a rocket from the middle of the 18-yard box that WolfPack keeper Emily Edmunson had little chance on. The WolfPack got the equalizer in the 34th minute. Amanda Barrett wound up with the ball off a Heat turnover and found the back of the net on Heat keeper Sabrina Gasparac. The second half saw

the Heat control the majority of the play, pinning the WolfPack in their own end but were unable to break the deadlock. “It is always a hard fought battle between us and TRU,” said Heat coach Claire Paterson. “It was a decent match. I was a little disappointed we didn’t capitalize on the opportunities we created, especially in the second half. The goalie did a good job.” UBCO is 2-1-1 on the season, while the Wolfpack is 1-1-2. The Heat women return to action this weekend when they host the Capilano University Blues

on Saturday (1 p.m.) and the Vancouver Island University Mariners on Sunday (noon).

HEAT MEN

The Heat men’s soccer team played to a 3-3 draw with Thompson Rivers at UBC’s Okanagan campus Sunday. The match began in frenzy with a foul by the Heat in their own penalty box, resulting in a quick PK goal by Conor Dohertyfor the Wolfpack. The Heat tied the game up soon after when Heat forward Andrew Hauser placed a beautiful header past Wolfpack keeper Travis Froelich to

make it 1-1. The second half began with a goal in the first minute of play from Heat forward Andrew Pinguelo followed up quickly when fourth year striker, Zach Donaldson-Hall found the net on a penalty shotto make it 3-1 for the Heat. The Wolfpack did not lie down and responded with an upsurge which led to Conor Doherty’s second goal of the match, bring the Wolfpack to within one goal of the Heat. With only a few minutes left in the match veteran Heat defender Dustin Luck received a second yellow card in the match,

With love from your family & friends.

Aime Walter Moore passed away in his 89th year on Sept 17th, 2011. He is predeceased by his wife Marion and younger brother Cecil (Vera). ‘Uncle Aime’ will be missed by his six nieces and nephews who are spread from Kelowna to Guatemala; Judy (Paul) Shoemaker, Doug (Willie) Findlater, Linda (Richard) King, Carol Davis, Ross (Pat) Davis and Diana Celeste. Born in England, Walter joined the war efforts with the British Air Force and later served as a flying instructor for the Canadian Air Force where he fell in love with Canada - as well as a young nurse named Marion. He immigrated to Edmonton, married Marion, and continued to serve as a flying instructor for the RCAF. He also served with the RCAF 434 Fighter Squadron in Germany as a squadron fighter commander. His passion for flying continued, developing RCAF training courses for the Air Cadet League of Canada before retiring. Walter and Marion retired to Kelowna. They were avid golfers and spent many years enjoying golf and good friends at Kelowna Golf & Country Club. The family would like to thank the staff at Sandalwood Retirement Resort, Advocare Health Services and Lake Country Lodge for their compassion and assistance to Walter. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Walter’s name to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com.

CUISINE from Jude’s kitchen grape harvest meals With the start of the 31st annual Fall Okanagan Wine Festival just a couple of days away, and the whole valley deep in harvesting fresh grapes, apples, pears and vegetables, there’s a bounty of local produce everywhere you turn, even if your own garden is beginning to fade. It’s enough to inspire the most jaded cook. Add in the option of pairing that wonderful seasonal food with local wines and the cook could probably be persuaded to use some of it to enhance the dish. With hundreds of events up and down the valley, this very popular fall festival, which coincides with the excitement of the annual grape crush, offers something for everyone. It kicks off with the B.C. Wine Awards at the Rotary Centre for the Arts on Thursday, Sept. 29, 7 to 9 p.m., where there’ll be a reception of tapas and a chance to taste test some of the award-winning wines. The next night, the Westjet Wine Tastings will be held at the same venue, 6:30 to 9 p.m., with a chance to taste more than 150 wines from more than 40 wineries—as long as you sip, sample and spit, that is. As far as food is concerned, there’s an even more exciting event which is new this year: the FortisBC Salute to Food and Wine at Manteo Resort from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Sunday, October 2. Local chefs such as Matt Batey from Mission Hill and Bernard Cassavant from the Wild Apple will prepare local food paired with great local wines along with conducting live cooking demonstrations. You’ll even get to take home some recipes. For tickets to these and more events, go to: selectyourtickets.com or call 717-5304. For details of the other events, pick up a brochure wherever wine is sold or at tourism centres or go to: www.thewinefestivals.com For more wine-y recipes using local ingredients, in season, pick up a copy of my new book called Jude’s Kitchen, wherever books are sold.

Chicken & Grapes in Wine Sauce This is excellent with grouse or other game birds as well as chicken. I use seedless eating grapes like the delectable blue, locally-developed Coronation grapes. Don’t use grapes with seeds in them. Pair this with the fruit-forward Ganton & Larsen Prospect Winery’s Ogopogo’s Lair Pinot Grigio. Yum. 2 lb. (1 kg) chicken parts flour, salt and pepper to coat drizzle of oil and butter 1 large onion 1 celery stalk 10 medium mushrooms 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary 1/2 c. (125 ml) dry white wine 1/2 c. (125 ml) hot chicken broth 1/2 c. (125 ml) yogurt 2 c. (500 ml) seedless grapes Coat chicken with a mixture of flour, salt and

pepper, and brown over medium heat in a Dutch oven or large frypan with a lid, in a combination of oil and a little pat of butter, for flavour. Meanwhile coarsely chop onion and celery and quarter mushrooms. Mince rosemary. Remove chicken and set aside, then add onions and mushrooms to the oil in the pot. Add a little more oil if needed. Saute and soften the vegetables, then stir in any remaining seasoned flour or a spoonful more and cook for a minute. Stir in hot chicken broth and wine. Whisk the sauce until slightly thickened. Return chicken pieces to pot and reduce the heat. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or so, or until the meat is tender and cooked through. Remove chicken to a serving dish and keep warm. Add yogurt and grapes to sauce. Mix in and warm the grapes through. Pour over chicken pieces on a platter and serve over rice or pasta. Serves 4.

JUDIE STEEVES / CAPITAL NEWS

Zucchini Cakes These can be served for breakfast, brunch or lunch; with cheese, bacon or sausages, or as a vegetable dish with dinner. Next time we might add some minced jalapeno pepper to these. We tried the new Haywire 2010 Gamay Noir Rose with them and found its spicy notes delightful with the zucchini. The berry aromas played out as a substantial mouth feel, but with a touch of citrus on the tongue, and finished with a pleasant zing; not too sweet, nor overly dry, but quite luscious. 2 c. (500 ml) grated zucchini 3 tbsp. (45 ml) Swiss cheese 1 small onion 2 tbsp. (30 ml) fresh parsley 1 tsp. (5 ml) tarragon 1/2 c. (125 ml) whole wheat flour 2 tbsp. (30 ml) oat bran

1 tsp. (5 ml) baking powder 1/2 tsp. (2 ml) salt 1/4 tsp. (1 ml) pepper 1 beaten egg Grate zucchini and cheese and chop onion finely. Mince herbs and mix it all together well in a bowl. Mix dry ingredients and grated cheese in a small bowl until well combined and then sprinkle over the vegetables. Mix thoroughly. Beat egg and add it to the mixture, blending well. Drop by spoonful onto greased frypan on medium-high heat and press each cake down. Turn when they’re browned and crisp. Serves 2-4.

Some simple guidelines for readers of Jude's Kitchen

There are some basics about my cooking that you should know about in using the recipes created for Jude’s Kitchen. *I mean a large egg when a recipe calls for an egg *usually, butter and margarine are interchangeable *usually, salt and pepper is added to your taste *I generally use sea salt *fresh ingredients top frozen or canned

*organic products are my first choice *wherever possible, I use whole grains, not processed *include a variety of them, when possible *wherever possible, I use fresh herbs *fewer quantities of dried herbs are needed than fresh *I use extra virgin olive oil *I use grapeseed or olive oil to cook with

*I don’t deep fry *feel free to substitute. I do *have fun in the kitchen *encourage others to as well
