Fall heatwave sets new records Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Farmers were shaking their heads at the weekend’s record-breaking high temperatures, yet everyone had to dig out their sweaters as the mercury plunged overnight Sunday, from five degrees above normal to six degrees below. Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist says we’ve had drought conditions this summer, with below normal amounts of precipitation since May, even though spring was late and cool. The mercury zoomed up to 32.1 C on Sept. 23 and 30.1 C the next day, six days later than the temperature had ever hit 30 C before in Kelowna. Both days, new records were set, topping the old records of 27.8 C in 1990 on the 23rd, and 28.7 set in 2009 for the 24th. Lundquist said the record warmth was the result of an unusually intense frontal system that drew subtropical hot air in over us with enough winds to stir the warm air aloft, down to the surface. Temperatures moderated slightly on Sept. 25, with a high of 24 C, then dropped abruptly on the 26th to a high of 13.6 C. Normal highs would have been 19 C with a low of 4 C. However, there was only the one cold day and temperatures returned to near-normal with a high of 19.5 C on the 27th. The forecast is for daily high temperatures of 23 C to 16 C in the next few days. Rain in August varied considerably around the region, with 1.6 mm in Peachland for the month; 6.8 mm at the Kelowna airport, but 40 to 50 mm in southeast Kelowna, where flooding caused considerable damage to Crawford Road and properties in the area on Aug. 10. Without that, August was the driest on record, with almost all of the month’s precipitation in the one event, noted Lundquist. September has also been extremely dry up to now, with 2.2 mm in Peachland and 4.7 mm at the airport in Kelowna, compared to the normal there of 32.7 mm for the month. Looking ahead, Lundquist said probabilistic forecasts suggest the next three months could be colder than normal, with a 50 to 60 per cent likelihood of that. However, beyond that, he said it is expected this will be another year of La Nina, the colder Pacific ocean streams that impact weather here by tending to push average temperatures down a degree or two and a tendency to produce snowier weather. Even more noticeable, La Nina tends to result in a spring that doesn’t warm as much, noted Lundquist. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS W CIVIC POLITICS
FourChange staying out of the Kelowna mayor’s race Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
A local group that had publicly stated it only supports four of the current eight incumbent Kelowna councillors and wants to see both change and what it calls “greater leadership” on council, says it is not opposing Mayor Sharon Shepherd in the upcoming civic election. But the group is not supporting her, either. “We have said nothing about the mayoralty race,” said FourChange spokesman Nick Frost. “We are completely neutral on the mayor’s position.” Two weeks ago, FourChange.org sent out an email saying it supported four council incumbents—Councillors Robert Hobson, Andre Blanleil,
Luke Stack and Graeme James—and wanted to see change on council. But the group has since backed away from that public endorsement of the four incumbents, as another FourChange spokesman, business owner David Langton, told the Capital News on Tuesday their group is currently not supporting anyone. Langton said FourChange is now simply focusing on finding four new councillor candidates to support. While he said the group “could live with” the re-election of Hobson, Blanleil, Stack and James, it is no longer publicly supporting them. “At this moment, we have no official people we are supporting, other than we are looking for four new people,” he said. In its email two weeks ago, the group did not name the other four
incumbent councillors—Charlie Hodge, Angela Reid-Nagy, Kevin Craig and Michele Rule—but subsequently made it clear it wants them replaced. Shepherd’s name was also not included in the list of council members it said at the time it supported. Upset that it has been reported his group included Shepherd in its bid for change, Frost called it a “really big leap” to assume that because her name was not included as a member of council FourChange supports, coupled with his group’s top desire to see greater leadership on council, that FourChange was gunning for the mayor. Asked to explain who FourChange wants to see offer greater leadership, Frost said the entire council. While the mayor is a member of
council— she holds one vote just as each of the councillors do—Frost said he feels the public considers the mayor separate from councillors. FourChange says it plans to support four still unknown candidates for councillor positions in the Nov. 19 civic election. The official nomination period starts next week, on Oct. 4, and will run until 4 p.m. on Oct. 14. FourChange is a local group being guided by a steering committee of 10 people—only Frost and Langton have publicly identified themselves as members—that says it has now signed up 200 members. It said it does not charge membership fees but asks for donations to “help its cause.” The group’s first email looking for support noted there was a $100 deposit to run in the civic election in Kelowna. The Capital News incor-
rectly reported there was a $100 signup fee to join FourChange. Earlier this week, in a news release, FourChange.org said its support of four as yet unnamed new candidates will not constitute a slate, and won’t be about specific issues, saying that will be left up to the incoming council to deal with. “We just want council to work together and we need strong leadership, especially during a slow economy that affects us all, including those seeking jobs,” said Frost. With 53 sets of nomination papers for the eight councillor positions up for grabs picked up so far, Frost said his group expects little difficulty in identifying who it will support. In addition, 11 nomination packages for mayor have been picked up. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Tickets sales reflect continued interest from valley visitors Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Despite the recession, ticket sales for the signature events for the 31st Fall Okanagan Wine Festival are up, reports organizer Blair Baldwin. Thousands of visitors are expected in the valley over the next couple of weeks as the festival gets underway Thursday with a new event, the B.C.

International wine judges are in Kelowna this week, swirling, sniffing, sipping and spitting their way through the hundreds of entries in this year’s awards competition, and their decisions will be announced at the Thursday evening event. Baldwin said they’ve moved it into the Mary Irwin Theatre, with the reception to follow in the arts centre, in order to accommodate more people, because of early interest in it. “It’s a chance to be the first to try the best wines,

national visitors for the 10-day run as well. The early popularity of most events “has put a smile on our faces, and on those of all involved,” he
said, noting that it’s good to see more young people interested and young consumers learning more about wines. “The younger crowd
is perhaps less interested in the grape varietal than in whether it’s from a fun winery with a fun theme,” he added. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

W YTV
Kelowna youth brings his energy to In Real Life Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
The countdown is on for Dorothea Walker Elementary School student Talston Scott who makes his television debut on YTV’s In Real Life this Monday. The show gives 12- to 14-year-olds a chance to try their hand at different careers in an eliminationstyle reality program that Scott can attest reels in the viewers. “I watched the first season and I just thought it would be so amazing and fun to be on the show,” he said during an after-school interview squeezed in before acting class at Bumbershoot Theatre. An aspiring thespian, Talston admitted he didn’t waste any time throwing his hat in the ring, applying to be on the second
season. Equally as prompt, the show’s producers turned him down saying he would be too young when filming started as he was 11 years old at the time, not the mandatory 12. Thankfully, this energetic kid is used to having to fight to get noticed as the youngest of five children. Only his sister—the family has four boys and one girl—is into theatre and Talston has always had a natural presence, according to his mother. As such, it made perfect sense that when he applied for the third season, won an interview with the show’s producers and made the trip to Vancouver to sit down with In Real Life’s casting crew, Talston secured a part. “Then it was like, OK, he’s going to fly off

What they can tell us is that his dalliance with life as an army recruit in the very first episode did not result in a vocational
fit for his future. “I don’t know if I really want to be in the army. I really want to be an actor,” said Scott, noting he had to climb through vast mud pits and dive in and out of jeeps for the episode. Describing the army drill sergeants as two huge dudes who showed up and just started barking orders, the Grade 7 student said he nevertheless had a lot of fun on the obstacle course they laid out. He was none too im-
pressed with army rations; the oatmeal was a “gloop that smelled like rotten eggs and tuna,” in his view. But all of that said, ever the showman, Kelowna’s latest television star had no complaints about the experience.

The cost of dumping garbage in the Central Okanagan is going up. As of Jan 1, 2012, the cost of disposing of garbage and large loads of yard waste at two Central Okanagan facilities is going to increase for both residential and commercial customers. Regional district officials say it’s been almost 20 years since rates last went up. Tipping fee increases for garbage and other solid waste materials have been approved by the regional district board for the Westside Residential Waste Disposal and Recycling Centre and are the same fee amendments recently approved by the City of Kelowna for its Glenmore landfill, so waste disposal fees are consistent across the Central Okanagan. The approved increases are as follows: • The cost of disposing of bagged garbage will go up to $2.50 per bag from $1 per bag. • The flat fee for up to 250 kilograms of garbage will rise to $8 from $6. • Loads of garbage over 250 kilograms will be charged $65 per metric tonne, up from $55. • Yard waste loads greater than 250 kg will cost $40 per metric tonne, up from $25. • Yard waste loads for material larger than 20 centimetres in diameter will rise to $65 per metric tonne from $55. The allowance of up to 250 kilograms of yard waste to be dumped for free will remain. Regional district waste reduction manager Peter Rotheisler said the increase in fees is necessary given the major capital projects planned for the Glenmore Landfill and provides a more significant incentive for residents to reduce, reuse and recycle. “It’s also the first time the bag and under 250 kilogram disposal fees have gone up since they began back in the 1990s,” he added.

Big projects ‘dead as a doornail’ STAFF REPORTER
“I think he was kicking himself all the way home that he answered the question that way,” said Dinwoodie. “He spat out a response to regional statistics. The regional statistics include everything from Peachland to Lake Country. “You look at the region in the 2009 year, as Bob answered, this region is slightly ahead of other regions. When you subtract Westbank First Nation growth, (that’s not the case). “The truth of the matter is the only real big projects that have happened in that period of time were the heated boat storage on the highway just as you pass Lakeview Heights
and the police building. “Other than that it’s pretty much been dead as a doornail.” Also at the council meeting, mayor Doug Findlater mentioned that many of the issues brought up in the RJ Fearnley and Associates report were already indicated in an indepth examination of district development processes, which was conducted by Neilson-Welch Consultants to Government. Dinwoodie said that the Neilson-Welch report offered great suggestions and said that, if recommendations from both reports are followed, it will be greatly beneficial to all of West Kelowna. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

On Tuesday, Aaron Dinwoodie presented a report to Chamber of Commerce members on the development industry in West Kelowna. Dinwoodie began his presentation by illustrating how difficult it is to set up a new municipality. He commended the District of West Kelowna for doing a good job in a few key areas. He then listed some areas that the DWK can improve upon. “In my opinion, I believe that too much planning was taken on in too short of a period of time. It puts staff in a very difficult position to serve many master plans at the same time and still have enough time left in the day to deal with applications coming in,” said Dinwoodie. “I’ve spent years chairing planning committees and engineering committees. “I’ve never seen that much planning go through the gate in that short a period of time. I think that’s really at the crux of customer service issues and the issues with respect to serving the day-to-day business that comes in.” Dinwoodie criticized the location of DWK headquarters and noted that currently it is doing nothing to help the vitality of the town centre. “The amount of money that you’re saving by putting the municipal hall there is costing you 20 times more than that in your image. You can’t operate out of trailers if you want to look like Mission Hill. “One of my investors said to me, ‘If the muni-
cipal council can’t invest in the town centre, why should I?’” On Sept. 20, Dinwoodie and Bob Fearnley presented the report to DWK council. At the time, Coun. Duane Ophus claimed that the report was subjective. He asked Fearnley how the DWK growth compared with other similar municipalities, in similar circumstances, across the province. Fearnley responded by saying that the DWK growth was actually higher than some of the other municipalities. Dinwoodie said that this response was not accurate and Fearnley regretted his answer after the meeting.

Protest draws puzzled response Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Jeff Bryde says he’s protesting what his employer is doing because he supports B.C. farmers and he objects to seeing apples from Washington State being sold by B.C. Tree Fruits. Both his employer, the Okanagan Tree Fruit Cooperative, and the BCTF are operated by the 800 orchardist families in the valley and governed by the same board of directors, made up of grower/ members of the co-op. The chairman of that board is Kelowna orchardist Jim Elliot, who admits to being puzzled why Bryde has chosen to go on a hunger strike this week to protest the fact that some apples from south of the border are sold by the grower marketing agency to provide a continuous supply of fruit for their customers. “We dovetail our supply of apples with other
supply sources,” he explained. “We do not pack imported fruit or sell it as B.C. fruit.” Elliot said usually fruit from outside the valley is brought in when those varieties aren’t available from local growers, to keep from losing their wholesale customers, who want a steady supply for their retail customers. Elliot says in some years, it isn’t necessary to bring in outside fruit. But this year, the apples from last year’s harvest were all shipped by early August and some varieties were gone earlier, yet the current year’s summer apples weren’t available until the third week of August, with most main season varieties not ready for harvest until this month. In addition to competing with apples from other countries, Okanagan apples also compete on store shelves with other produce, he explains, so it’s important to always have them available in
front of the consumer, so they don’t just switch to a different fruit. “We also import early California cherries from a supplier there (before local cherries are available) and that same supplier sells our late season varieties of cherries into the U.S. market,” he explains. BCTF is a marketing and sales agency, providing services to major retailers, he adds. Last year, for instance, $1 million to $2 million worth of fruit sold by BCTF, was imported. In some years, they sell tangerines or mandarin oranges, as well, he said. It all puts money in growers’ pockets, and helps pay the salaries of the co-op’s employees. However, Bryde says it just seems all wrong to have the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association, a lobby group made up of the valley’s orchardists, campaigning to encourage consumers to support B.C. farmers on the one
hand, while the BCTF is importing Washington apples on the other. He has been carrying a placard protesting the move outside the offices of the BCTF on Water Street this week, as well as the fact he was suspended from work for five days for writing a letter to the editor, which appeared in last Thursday’s Capital News, about his concerns. In that letter, he included information about BCTF suppliers which the co-op’s board says is confidential information an employee shouldn’t be sharing with the public. It was the second time in the past few months that Bryde had written a letter to the editor critical of the co-op’s business practices, and he was warned at that time he would be suspended if he repeated it. He says he will end his picketing and hunger strike today. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com
W HEALTH
KGH patient sleep study results reviewed by Interior Health The Interior Health Authority is investigating nearly 1,000 sleep studies conducted at Kelowna General Hospital over the last four year after concerns were raised about interpretation of the findings. Interior Heath has contacted 13 patients who underwent polysomnography testing at the Kelowna General Hospital’s sleep lab and will be reviewing a further 980 cases given potential concern about the interpretation of the test results. The polysomnography tests, also known as sleep studies, are used in the diagnosis and treatment of sleep disorders and occurred between Aug. 29, 2007 and Sept. 8, 2011. This situation was discovered during a recent quality assurance review put in place to protect patients. A medical surveyor from the diagnostic accreditation program conducted a site visit to the KGH Sleep Lab at the end of May and identified concerns related to the quality of the readings of a small, random sampling of sleep studies conducted at the lab. The surveyor recommended a retrospective audit by an independent, external reviewer. That review took place in late July and con-
firmed the surveyor’s original concerns with some studies. “It’s important to note that the physicians doing the interpretation did have the required training or credentials required to perform this service,” said Dr. Michael Murray, IH’s senior medical director. “We need to review our systems, ensuring we have the right checks and balances in place – including mentoring and peer review for our staff and physicians—which will enhance patient safety. That is our priority.” The two physicians involved have voluntarily agreed to no longer interpret sleep studies. This was a service they provided in addition to their regular specialty. Interior Health has not had concerns with their practice in those other areas. Interior Health is in the process of reviewing which patients may require further follow-up. The review may result in some patients requiring a change in their care plans and follow-up with their referring physician. For others, there may be no change at all. This follow-up process includes an expert review of 980 studies that have been interpreted at the sleep
DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
JEFF BRYD (centre) received support in his protest on Tuesday against B.C. Tree
lab since Aug. 29, 2007 to determine what follow-up is required, if any. All patients will be notified of this review by Interior Health in the interest of full disclosure and transparency. “We believe that patients would want to have this information even if the expert reviewer determines there is little or no risk involved. Additionally, we have an ethical responsibility to inform them,” said Dr. Murray. Interior Health operates two sleep labs, one at KGH and one at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, and patients are referred by their physicians from throughout the health region. There are no issues associated with the lab at RIH, which just recently received full accreditation by the provincial Diagnostic Accreditation Program. Interior Health says it recognizes some patients may have questions and has established a phone line to provide information. IH staff will answer calls Monday to Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and monitoring voice mail messages after hours. The toll-free number is 1-877-442-2001.

Two pedestrians, who were walking on the sidewalk, were hit with glass fragments when the passenger side window shattered. The passenger door area of the vehicle was crumpled, but the young male driver drove the vehicle away from the scene.
There is concern that a male passenger in the vehicle may have been injured in the collision. Police are requesting anyone with information about the incident, the vehicle or its occupants to contact Const Paetz of Central Okanagan Traffic Services, 250-980-5353.

NEWS W MURDER TRIAL
Crown highlights contradictions in Snelson’s testimony Pleads from A1 people I knew, drank a few beers, hung out in the kitchen mostly…I talked with people I knew there,” he said, in response to a question from his lawyer, Wade Jenson. His opportunities to engage in two separate sexual encounters with strangers, he recalled, were set into motion when a female friend also at the party asked for a belt she left in his truck. The pair retrieved the item and headed back to the party. Snelson, however, was waylaid. He met a girl and they “talked for awhile, and ended up kissing,” he said. In 15 minutes, he was done. The next time he went outside for a bathroom break, it turned out, was more fateful. He met another girl and they also ended up talking and kissing. The second girl, who was Cusworth, went back to his truck with him and they had sex, he said. Snelson didn’t remember if the truck door was open or closed when they had sex, or if anyone would have seen them together. Under Jenson’s questioning, he offered up that there was no light in the interior of the truck, the street was dark and he didn’t see her clearly. It was over quickly, and he went back to the party and didn’t remember seeing her again. In fact, he had no clear image of what she looked like, what she was wearing or if they introduced themselves to each other. He did know that he left the party around 20 minutes later. On the journey home Snelson drove, with Ciancone in the passenger seat along with two women, named Lynn and Shawna. Ciancone was left off at his home at the base of Knox Mountain first, he testified, and then the two girls were brought to their Springfield Road place. He testified he drove by Denny’s at that point, to meet up with some friends, but when he didn’t see their car he went home to his now ex-wife. In the 16 years that passed between that night and the moment he became a prime suspect in the murder investigation, Snelson repeatedly told jurors upon prompting from Crown counsel Iain Currie, he didn’t think
much of the encounter. Not when his friends were asked to submit DNA in 1994, relating to the investigation. Not when pictures of Cusworth covered the city. Not even when police called him about the investigation in 2001. The idea of “what if” it was Jennifer Cusworth he’d slept with that night, wasn’t pronounced, or even notable, until 2009 when police announced their investigation was focusing on DNA, he testified under cross-examination Wednesday. Snelson, Currie offered, wasn’t telling the truth on that matter, in addition to many others. Raising a litany of questions and posing suggestions about contradictory testimony rendered in the two weeks preceeding Snelson’s decision to take the stand, Currie portrayed the accused murderer as someone who often deviated from the truth.
It was demonstrated in conversations he had with family members days before his October 2009 arrest. As one example, he told his father he drove Ciancone home last, and the two girls first. Ciancone offered contradictory testimony a week earlier, and when Snelson took the stand this week he sided with Ciancone. He also told his father he didn’t have a canopy on his truck ever. It was a statement Snelson conceded was an “exaggeration of the truth.” He had a canopy that he took on and off for work. Such exaggerations have previously been demonstrated, Currie said. Snelson, during the course of another trial, was caught offering false testimony. And this time around, Snelson favoured some seemingly benign details, while issues that occupied the attention of the city caused him to draw a blank. It was all part of a “deflect and deny” strat-
egy, Currie suggested, to Snelson’s protest. It would have been difficult, for example, to not register an image of Cusworth. She had some standout features that just about everybody who testified earlier in the trial could remember. Her auburn hair was voluminous, curly and long. She was wearing a loud multi-coloured animal print blazer, that was a stand-out even for the time. Neither of those details twigged a visual for Snelson, although he referred to his parking spot on several occasions. “Despite alcohol and despite not remembering anything about the clothing of this woman, you’re able to tell us you opened your passenger door and there was a pole?” asked Currie. Snelson replied, “yes.” He noted later, that what he did remember of Cusworth is the feeling of having sex with her, and how far he had to bend
down to kiss her, The latter detail led him to believe that she was around 5-foot-6 and heavy. She was actually 5-foot-10, and around 135 to 140 lbs —“fairly lean” by Currie’s estimates. Snelson’s assessment didn’t have the air of truth, said Currie, because it was offered hastily in an attempt to “deflect and deny” police inquiries. Snelson first offered the physical description of his second fling in 2009, when Corp. Bill Parmar and now former staff sergeant Dean Filipchuk went to his door, and asked: “Is there any reason your DNA would be found at the crime scene?” His response to the suggestion he may have left his mark on the crime scene was out of character, and both officers have since testified it raised a new line of questioning. “No, no, I don’t think so,” they remember Snel-
son saying, upon hearing the question, his eyes downcast and voice lowered. “Which is it, no or I don’t think so?” asked Filipchuk two years ago, earning the same response. Snelson turned to Parmar and told him about his hookups that night, and how it all started with returning a belt. Today, said Currie, the statement still seems unusual. “The first thing out of your mouth when you started explaining a story you weren’t going to tell, was about a belt?” asked Currie on Wednesday, in reference to his encounter with the police. “That’s how it unfolded at the party, that’s why I went outside,” said Snelson, defending his answer. “It seemed a logical place to start.” Currie then said he didn’t believe Snelson returned a belt—or that
there ever was a belt. That recollection, he said, was merely another attempt at covering his tracks. “You didn’t know what police were trying to match DNA with,” said Currie. “You knew that (belt) was a loose end. When he asked if your DNA would be found at the crime scene, your mind went to that belt.” “No sir,” said Snelson. Currie went on to say that Snelson’s second lie stemmed from knowing his DNA could have been found on Cusworth’s clothing and that’s why he offered up the story about a woman he’d made out with. Currie said Snelson lied about knowingly having sex with Cusworth — a woman who may have been visible to him over their 30 minute courtship, from the on-and-off of the porch lights. All of Currie’s suggestions were denied by Snelson. The trial continues Thursday.

Protecting immigrant farm workers
T
he details of the tragedy at a Langley mushroom farm on Sept. 5, 2008, finally emerged last week, as the owners of the farm were in court after pleading guilty to numerous health and safety charges. Three workers died and two others suffered permanent brain damage. They were asked to go into a confined space to clear the blockage in a valve containing the chicken manure, straw and gypsum, which are used to make mushroom compost.
This came after the farm owners had called a plumber to the scene. He was unable to fix the blockage and asked them to call a sewer pumping service. Instead, the job fell to the workers. As outlined in court, they were never given any information on working in confined spaces, nor was there any occupational health and safety training offered. Many of the people who work on farms and orchards in B.C. are relatively new immi-
grants to Canada. They often get the jobs because they have limited job prospects and have some connections to the farm owners. They are also willing to work for low wages at jobs which involve hard physical labour. It is absolutely essential that anyone who hires other people to work in a business offer basic occupational health and safety training. It is also important that when there are hazards, such as confined spaces, employees be
fully familiar with the dangers involved. They need to know when they can say “no.” The B.C. Federation of Labour has taken a major interest in this case and deserves credit for highlighting the importance of employers following basic safety practices. Farm workers are just as valuable as any employee on any job site. This case points out the need to ensure they fully understand all the risks of any job they are asked to perform.

Steering a new business course to attract entrepreneurs
L
ike a lot of people who live on the Prairies, David Church was attracted to Kelowna because of the Okanagan lifestyle. But what also brought Church here is a challenge that could prove fruitful in helping move our valley’s small business sector forward in a significant way. Church is assisting in the task of helping to develop a threeyear strategic plan based on a series of principles for action to encourage entrepreneurism in the Okanagan Valley. Those principles were generated by the participants in a roundtable forum held earlier this month in Kelowna. They will be presented in a threeyear action plan that all municipali-
ties in the valley will be called upon to buy into. Church has extensive experience in bringing together divergent groups to work towards a common cause. After working for 12 years as the director of education for the Manitoba Association of School Trustees, Church went back to school to complete his master’s degree and focus on what he calls human systems intervention—bringing people together in adversarial positions to adopt common decisions for the collective
good of everyone. Church sees the Okanagan Valley as an untapped gem for business development, for marrying people’s entrepreneurial ideas Barry with the venture capital Gerding needed to make them a reality. “It’s really about the region and the valley being seen as an economy, and not letting the political divisions within it, which tend to be counter-productive, not allow that economy to flourish,” Church said. “Lots of smaller government entities can make it harder for economic
EDITOR’S NOTE
growth to flow, to come up with solutions to problems that arise. “The good news is the roundtable forum and the strategies we are prototyping here that have come out of that can help accelerate the ability of groups to work together to solve problems in innovative new ways.” Church will have his hands full given that regional attempts to generate economic growth have largely sputtered over the last decade, as evidenced by the lack of manufacturing growth in this region. So rather than relying on civic-government promoted big-ticket projects to garner attention, the better route is to start at the grassroots
level, to bring like-minded people together who can help inspire economic growth perhaps on a smaller but more solid footing. While the Central Okanagan has some calling it Silicon Valley North, the reality is not everyone today who might fall under that economic technology sector are working off the same page in trying to move forward. However the action plan strategy unfolds, hopefully it can help halt the exodus of job-seeking young people from the Central Okanagan. Nothing else done in the past decade has worked yet. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

LETTERS W FOCUS YOUR VOTE
Fewer candidates in debates, on ballot will make for better municipal election process Open letter to all candidates for city council and mayor of Kelowna: First, let me say thank you for considering to serve this great City of Kelowna. It is great to see so many people wanting to be involved. However, if you really care about this city, then I must ask you to consider not filing your papers. Presently, we have had over 50 people pick up candidate packages for council and 11 for mayor. If, like most in the city, you are concerned about the direction we are going with the present mayor and or councillors, then you also realize that with this number of potential candidates it just increases the chances that we will have the same group sitting around the table for the next three years. We deserve better. Some of you have run numerous times
without success and you are certainly entitled to try again, but—and it is a big but—the chances of you getting the required number of votes to win a seat doesn’t look too positive. Most of you could double or triple what you got in 2008 and still not be at the table. So now is the time for personal reflection. If you really want change and you can’t beat an incumbent then, please, find a candidate who does have a chance, who shares your views and values and place your support behind that candidate. Who are these potential candidates? Good question. • Someone who was within 500 votes in 2008 has a good chance if they have been able to keep their support or perhaps grow that support with endorsements from those willing to step aside for the good of the city. • Some new high profile individuals
have come forward which gives them a good chance because name recognition is big in civic elections. Turning to mayor, it is a two-person race, no ifs, ands or buts on this one. The last time Walter Gray and Sharon Shepherd squared off the next closest candidate got a total of 378 votes or one per cent, while Shepherd finished with over 53 per cent and Gray had over 44 per cent. These two both bring different ideas and management skills to the table. One is going to win so lets have a good debate. Hopefully we can have fewer than 15 candidates for council, then the all-candidate meeting will take on some meaning and we can have a full debate on the issues. If we go with the present 50 plus, then I think we all know what the result will be. We deserve better. Wayne Pierce, Kelowna
W ENVIRONMENTAL/HUMAN HEALTH
Prescriptions drugs easily enter water system To the editor: Treated Sewage Effluent Still Poses Threat, Sept. 23 Capital News. With so many people taking prescription drugs this problem is going to become worse not better. Prescription drugs pass through our bodies and are excreted in the urine. Comprised of long chain molecules, their strong and complex bonds are not broken down by the bacteria used to treat water at a wastewater treatment facility. Hence these molecules pass through the treatment plant unchanged and unaffected. Discharged into receiving streams
and other large bodies of water, they have been shown to affect aquatic life. Endocrine inhibitors affect natural spawning and sexual orientation of fish. Fewer fish are actually spawning and mutations in the fish species are on the increase. Drug companies, to their credit, have identified this as a big issue and are trying to come up with new molecular configurations possessing weaker atomic bonds that break down more easily into smaller molecules. The theory is that the smaller molecules can then be assimilated by the bacteria in the environment. Use of ultraviolet (UV) and ozone are
successful strategies to break apart the long chain molecules but are prohibitively expensive and produce many new molecules whose affect on the environment are not known. Currently endocrine inhibitors are not monitored at treatment plants. It’s a sad observation that the EPA shows more interest in regulating CO2 (a hot politically correct potato related to global warming theories and which most living organisms respire) as a pollutant than they are in regulating this current and growing threat to our environment. Thomas Stanton, Kelowna
Injury claims are against real person, not corporation To the editor: Re: Hergott; ICBC Hiding Behind the Face of Insured Defendents, Sept 22 West section, Capital News When you purchase your basic auto insurance from ICBC it comes with a guarantee that we will defend you in court from action taken against you as a result of a motor vehicle crash. It does not mean we become the defendant but that we will be there to protect you. The plaintiff’s lawyer, of course, would rather have a jury believe their client’s action is against a large insurance company rather than against a real person. They know full well that it’s not to their benefit for a jury to see that
a real person is being sued. It is more than misleading to say that ICBC will always be on the hook for a court awarded settlement. The people being sued may not have enough insurance to cover the court’s award. In a recent case, one person was awarded more than $12 million and three other people were responsible for paying the settlement which far exceeded their coverage. It is important that those who hear bodily injury cases understand the claim is being made against a real person and that’s why we prefer to have that person present in the courtroom. However, Mr. Hergott’s central point that we always insist on our customer—the defendant—being present during the entire
trial is incorrect. We often receive requests from customers to be exempt from court and we regularly grant exemptions for a variety of reasons, including being unable to take the time off work or for a health issue. We spend approximately $1.5 billion on injury claims annually. We owe it to our customers to do everything we can to ensure court awards are fair and reasonable, in turn allowing us to offer customers the best coverage at the lowest possible price. Craig Horton, senior vice-president, claims, ICBC, North Vancouver
Big price tag for little bridge Express yourself To the editor: I watched a Kelowna city council meeting the other day, and the issue that caught my eye was about a small wooden bridge on Acland Road, slated for replacement. The cost for replacement is over $500,000. The feedback from the councillors was ‘Golly— is that ever a lot of money’ But the overwhelming sentiment of council was, ‘Oh well, we signed
a contract, there’s nothing we can do about it now.’ How come councillors didn’t know that? Where was the research? Where was the estimated budget? Where were the cost projections? How did the contract get signed without knowing the total cost? How come it’s $200,000 more than the original quote? How come you were blindsided by this? To spend $500,000
for a little bridge is a lot. I mean, you don’t just walk into a store pick up a bunch of stuff, put it on the counter, sign a contract to buy it, and then when the bill comes go into shock and say, ‘Oh my God, is that ever a lot. I signed the contract—there’s nothing I can do about it now.’ But I guess you can as long as you’re spending the taxpayers’ money. Cal Condy, Kelowna

Philanthropic Family Make A Difference. Acting on the inspiration of their threeyear-old daughter Madi, Tony and Erin Lewis have launched a new endeavour to provide pajamas to children living in poverty around the world. The seed for what they call the Panama Project was started when Madi told her parents what she wanted for her 4th birthday: To send pajamas for the kids at a Haitian orphanage that family friends Dr. Rick and Barb Wilkinson had recently adopted a boy from. Launching the Pajama Project will be an event called Pajama Jam on Oct. 15, noon to 5 p.m., at the Vibrant Vine winery, 3240 Pooley Rd., which the Lewis family operates. The evening will include great local music and fine wines to sample with the only charge being to donate a new pair of pajamas for the Haiti orphanage. Kids really can have the best ideas!

B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver. Two key issues raised were the reconciliation process between the province and First Nation groups and consideration of mechanisms for forest fuel mitigation on public and private lands. The mayor and councillors met with Mary Polak, minister of aboriginal relations and reconciliation, to speak about the district’s interest in ensuring that West Kelowna is
able to effectively identify impacts on its residents or the services the municipality provides due to negotiations between the province and Westbank First Nation. “We want to be sure that the province is aware of the complexities of existing and future servicing agreements between us and WFN, and that there is a need for provincial legislation or policy to guide us in this,” said Findlater.

According to Findlater, Polak assured the district that it would be kept informed regarding ongoing discussion on nontreaty matters and that a UBCM Memorandum of Understanding related to consultation with municipalities on non-treaty matters will be expanded. “We discussed the need for a province-wide approach to service agreements between municipalities and First Nation groups. “The province recognizes that it is difficult to enforce provincial regulations on First Nation land. “That has all kinds of implications further to what we’ve been discussing regarding the land exchange between the ministry of transportation and infrastructure and Westbank First Nation involv-
ing lands in the Rose Valley area.” Findlater also met with Steve Thomson, Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources, to discuss the district’s interest in securing Crown land for municipal purposes and obtaining support from the province for its forest fuel mitigation work and for support for large parcels of private lands that require forest fuel reduction. “West Kelowna has experienced more than its share of forest fires in the past few years,” Findlater said. “We spoke with Minister Thomson about our interest in securing a government policy and funding formula to help not only West Kelowna, but so many other municipalities in B.C. that are facing the same issue.”

Kelowna Museums lecture outlines fur trading trail Two hundred years ago, in September 1811, four men working for the Pacific Fur Company travelled by horseback north through the Okanagan Valley, leaving Fort Okanogan. Following an ancient aboriginal trail along the Okanogan River, their trip north took 16 days. Arriving at Tk’emlúps (present day Kamloops) the fur traders were met by a large congregation of First Nations in the area. This historic visit represents the first recorded contact between Europeans and the aboriginal people of the southern interior of British Columbia, principally the Syilx and Secwepemc nations. This fall, 2011, to mark the bicentennial of this visit, the Okanagan Heritage Museum proudly presents a special lecture titled Culture Contact in the Oakinacken, 18111860: Along the Trail of the Fur Trade and through the Okanagan-Thompson Valleys and Beyond. This lecture will be presented by wellknown local historians Randy Manuel and Ken Favrholdt. Manuel is former di-
rector/curator of the Penticton Museum, and longtime explorer of the fur brigade trails in the Okanagan and across the Cas-
Museum and Archives, and also past manager of the Secwepemc Museum and Heritage Park. Favrholdt is currently
executive director/curator of the Osoyoos Museum. This special lecture is part of a tour sponsored by the Okanagan Histor-
ical Society and the Okanogan County Historical Society. It started in Osoyoos, and will end in Vernon at the end of Octo-
ber. The tour will stop in Kelowna at the Okanagan Heritage Museum on Oct. 8, 7 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Orchestra starts new season on positive fiscal footing Jennifer Smith
hind the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra’s unique drum-roll introducing each concert season—a press conference that often reminds one of a more grownup show-andtell.
STAFF REPORTER
To say there’s a lot of talent in this valley is one thing; to show it is quite another. This is the theory be-
This week, an opera singer, a violin player and a spunky, young multi-talented high school student joined OSO music director and conductor Rosemary Thomson and general manager Scott Wilson
as they tried to take the musical wonder that is the orchestra, one of the valley’s oldest cultural institutions, and make it sound exciting, even in print. Like all arts and culture staples in the province, the orchestra has had to really work to survive the lean post-Olympic world of government cutbacks. “Very importantly, we are also pleased to report that our projected fiscal year end shows close to break even position,” said Wilson as he launched the event. He was quick to point out this is actually a rarity for a small orchestra like the OSO at the moment. Last season Wilson announced the OSO would embark on a subscription and fundraising drive intended to breath new life into their bank accounts and hopefully place the orchestra on solid finan-
cial footing for the future—and it appears to be working. With help from the Central Okanagan Foundation and a Canada council grant, this season will bring a special collaboration with Ballet Kelowna which Thomson has been dreaming of since she arrived in the valley. The Falcon’s Trumpet, as the collaboration is called, will see the orchestra recorded and its music sent on tour with the dancers as they perform in communities around the province. Celebrated Canadian composer R. Murray Schaffer—currently in Brazil where he just sold 78,000 of his textbooks to the Brazilian government for teachers to use in the country’s schools—wrote The Falcon’s Trumpet. Ballet Kelowna’s artistic director David LaHay, did the choreography for the
dancers. Lead trumpet will see celebrated trumpeter Guy Few on Okanagan stages conveying Schaffer’s ability to connect with nature and compose music from his surroundings. Schaffer apparently placed musicians around the lake, at points where they could not see one another, to improvise in a natural setting, feeding off the wildlife and sounds of the shoreline. Schafer only recently got a phone, he’s so noise averse, and protects his ears like many musicians might covet their favourite instrument. This kind of eccentricity only appears to make him more interesting to work with for the music director who will take the collaborative project one level further and work with the creative and critical studies department at UBCO to help students hone in on the process of
creating and the role collaboration plays in art. Kelowna’s performance of The Falcon’s Trumpet runs Friday, Oct. 21, 8 p.m., in the Kelowna Community Theatre (Sunday, Oct. 23, 7 p.m. at the Vernon and District Performing Arts Centre). It will be followed by the final performances of the year, Mozart’s Requiem in November and Ringing in the Season, the OSO Christmas concert, in December. This year’s Christmas performance will include a holiday bells showcase, thanks to a suggestion from an audience member in a previous season. Tickets and subscriptions are still available.

An Okanagan technology start-up, Awesense Wireless, has been declared the winner of the BCIC-New Ventures Competition’s $40,000 BC Hydro Sustainability Prize for its mobile wireless smart sensors that help identify key areas of electrical loss. The announcement was made at the BCICNew Ventures Competition’s 11th annual awards ceremony which took place at SFU’s Segal Graduate School of Business in Vancouver on
Sept. 22. In total, almost $400,000 in prizes were awarded. An Accelerate Okanagan technology company member and mentor program participant, Awesense Wireless is a Kelowna-based developer of wireless technologies that help utilities reduce energy loss and increase profits with its line measurement sensors. The company’s breakthrough smart grid technology uses an easy to deploy line measurement
platform. A significant amount of energy is lost in the distribution of electrical energy due to out-of-date infrastructure and non-commercial losses, such as power theft. This results is a profit loss for the utility, which directly affects the rates that consumers pay. On average, a utility has avoidable losses of $3 million per 100,000 homes. In total, North American utilities lose more than $10 billion in annu-

The Awesense system consists of mobile wireless smart sensors that can be quickly deployed within the distribution grid to help identify key areas of electrical loss. This information is passed on to the Awesense senseNET software suite for post processing, where an analytics engine helps utility managers and engineers make the right decisions about mitigating losses and increasing grid efficiency. Awesense was one of just seven B.C. clean technology companies invited recently to present its breakthrough wireless sensor system at the Northern Cleantech Showcase in Silicon Valley. The special invitationonly event showcased jury-selected companies that were deemed “most fundable” to Silicon Valley investors. Awesense CEO Mischa Steiner-Jovic said: “We are absolutely thrilled to receive this recognition for our innovative technology, which represents an order of magnitude improvement over current methods for detection and elimination of energy loss.”

Fintry Queen gets showcased Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
The city has handed the Fintry Queen its floating papers. Late Tuesday, the man trying to drum up interest in the idle former tourist boat, received word from the city that the current owner has until Oct. 17 to present a plan for the vessel’s removal from its current berth off Kerry Park downtown. The city’s removal notice gives the owner, a Calgary businessman who holds a $1.5 million mortgage on the Fintry Queen, until March 1, 2012, to actually remove the boat. “Actually, I see this as the catalyst for something being done,” said Andy Schwab, who operated the Fintry Queen in 1999 and 2000 and has volunteered to help court-appointed owner Greg Chessor, of Calgary, sell the vessel. Schwab held an open house on board the boat Wednesday and said about 80 people showed up. He said from that group there were some expressions of interests, including from a representative of a group based in Europe. While nearly $1.7 million is owed on the Fintry Queen—$1.5 million

The city’s removal no-
tice says it will remove the Fintry Queen itself if no plan is presented and seek to recover the cost of the move as well as all unpaid moorage fees and electricity costs owing. Schwab said he fears if that happens the one popular tourist attraction will be moved somewhere out of the way, sit idle for another few years and eventually be cut up for scrap.
“Unless a buyer can be found in the short term, this action by the city will likely doom this vessel to the scrap pile,” said Schwab. “A unique heritage attraction that has transported thousands of residents and travellers on Okanagan Lake will be lost forever.” He said hundreds of thousands of dollars of new equipment, including engines, wiring and new fire suppression equipment were installed just before the boat stopped operating in 2008. The city wants the Fintry Queen gone to revamp and expand the current Kelowna Marina on the downtown lakeshore. Schwab feels the boat, with its restaurant, would make a viable business venture but he admitted up to now no one has come forward. The Fintry Queen is a former car and passenger ferry that plied the waters of Okanagan Lake from the late 1940s to the mid1950s. In the 1960s it was fitted with a cosmetic paddlewheel and reborn as a boat that offered tourist and dinner cruises on the lake. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Many different things can affect a person’s sex drive. When a long-term relationship is involved, there are two people who need to be in the mood so the balance can be even more delicate. Since it’s a topic many people shy away from bringing up in the doctor’s

strictly a female problem. Many of the main culprits for lowering sex drive affect men too. In order for a couple to have a satisfying sex life, both partners need to be in a physically and psychologically conducive space for it. Our population is aging and we are living longer than ever before. This is great news, but when it comes to sexuality, there are a few issues associated with aging that can cause us problems. Hormonally, both men and women experience declining rates of sex hormones as we age. For men, lower testosterone levels and the possible development of prostate issues or endocrine problems can cause a decline in desire. As women go through menopause and estrogen declines, this can affect the libido as well as cause changes in vaginal tissue that can make intercourse a painful experience. In this case, lubricant creams or gels can help. There are also some hormonal treatments
HEALING MINDS
Paul Latimer available that can help some people, but do need to be discussed with a physician. Your family doctor can help you sort through the options as well as their risks and benefits. Hormones aside, some of the other chronic ailments and issues associated with aging such as arthritis, joint pain and cardiovascular problems also don’t help in the bedroom. With this in mind, physical health is important for people of all ages and affects all aspects of our lives including life between the sheets. When our body isn’t healthy, it’s very difficult to maintain a healthy sex life. Getting regular exercise, properly treating any chronic health issues, maintaining a healthy
body weight, quitting smoking and avoiding too much alcohol can all help. Another common libido crusher is the fatigue, busy-ness and stress of our daily grind. When we don’t get enough sleep and are feeling the pressures of a demanding job or overwhelming household, it’s difficult to get in the mood for much aside from a good night’s sleep. Hard as it is, it may be necessary to carve out a bit more time for relaxation, rest and connecting to improve libido. When we are sleepdeprived or stressed out, our body may not produce the necessary hormones. Anyone who has children can likely remember the sleepless, foggy days of having a new baby in the house. This is one time of life known to take a toll on a couple’s sex life. The pain of recovering from childbirth, hormonal changes and sleep deprivation are all at fault here. Time will help ease all of these issues and as long
as the couple remains connected in other ways, there is no reason a satisfying sex life will not return. Of course, unresolved relationship difficulties or loss of intimacy will also rob a couple of their libido. Communication and remaining close in other ways often produce a satisfying sex life simply by their presence. Finally, mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety are known to affect sexual desire. If these conditions exist and are not treated, this could be one of the symptoms. When a person is depressed, a loss of interest in enjoyable activities usually occurs and can be resolved with appropriate treatment. If your sex drive is non-existent and you can’t figure out why, consider speaking with your doctor. Ruling out underlying health issues could make a big difference.

W PALLIATIVE CARE
UBC researcher assists nursing study Nursing research at UBC’s Okanagan campus will be an integral part of a four-year province-wide initiative aimed at improving palliative care services in B.C. The overall project is funded through an $800,000 grant from the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research. According to a recent study by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, almost three quarters of British Columbians who die are not identified as people who could benefit from services associated with palliative care. A province-wide network called the Initiative for a Palliative Approach in Nursing: Evidence and
Leadership (iPANEL) will examine ways of offering palliative services in areas such as long-term care, acute medical wards and at home. Through research, iPANEL will create knowledge about how nurses can further integrate palliative philosophies and services into a variety of care settings. UBC nursing researcher Barb Pesut, Canada Research Chair in Health, Ethics and Diversity, and Barbara McLeod, a clinical nurse specialist from Fraser Health Authority, lead one of three principal areas of research called Educating for a Palliative Approach, which involves how to best prepare nurses, taking into account their work envi-
ronments and skill mix. “Care for those with chronic lifelimiting illness is an important part of an overall health strategy for British Columbians,” said Pesut. “Our goal is to establish education programs and clinical practices by gathering evidence that is relevant, useful and well-communicated to both practicing and academic nurses.” Elisabeth Antifeau represents Interior Health on iPANEL as a practitioner co-investigator in the area of Patient and Family-Centred Improvements. “We’re looking into practical opportunities for nurses to work with patients who have life-limiting illness,” said Antifeau.

W MLA’S REPORT
Tapping into the opportunity to attract more foreign students
T
he B.C. Jobs Plan, announced in stages last week by Premier Christy Clark, is quite comprehensive. And while certain aspects—for example, infrastructure investments at shipping terminals— understandably received a lot of attention, there was a lot more to the plan. I’d like to take a moment to discuss one aspect in particular—the goal of attracting 50 per cent more international students to the province. I’m enthusiastic about this idea for several reasons. Let’s start with basic economics: Many people don’t realize that international education is actually B.C.’s fifth largest export. In 2010 alone, international students spent more than $1.8 billion in British Columbia. This economic activity directly supports 22,000 jobs, and generates $70 million in government revenue. Those are impressive figures, and there’s every reason to plan and prepare for significant growth. With rapid economic expansion in Asia-Pacific countries, more parents than ever before want their children to receive a quality English-language education, and have the means to send them abroad to receive it. B.C.’s education system is recognized as one of the best in the world. Incidentally, it’s important to note that international students don’t take space away from B.C. students—actually, the reverse is true. Because international students aren’t subsidized (domestic students pay for one-third of the cost of their education; the rest is
Ben Stewart subsidized with tax dollars), they can actually create seats. Because of international students there are sometimes courses that can now be offered where there previously wasn’t enough demand from domestic students. That’s not just theoretical—we’ve already seen this happen. According to a report done for Thompson Rivers University, international students contributed $1.2 million in 2010/11 toward TRU construction activity, and that “TRU is able to expand its offerings to Canadian students by at least 25 per cent as a result of international student enrolment.� This has paid real dividends. For example, TRU’s ability to offer a useful summer school course menu to Canadian students rests on international student demand. Attracting more international students is also worthwhile for reasons that transcend economics and increased academic opportunities for B.C. students. Just as infrastructure investments are referred to as the “international gateway,� I like to think of attracting international students as a “social gateway.� Aggressively pursuing immigration and en-
hanced relationships with new and emerging economies will be absolutely fundamental for B.C.’s continuing prosperity. When these international students graduate, many will return home. With the benefit of a quality education, many will go on to become business and political leaders—with familiarity, contacts and fond memories of B.C. At the same time, some of these students will choose to stay and build careers in British Columbia. They will help off-
set the impacts of our aging population and ensure employers continue to have access to a highlyskilled workforce. Canada has always relied on immigration; increasing international students in B.C. is one way of continuing to attract the world’s best and brightest. Government, taxpayers and B.C. students will benefit from more international students: increased government revenue, more jobs, improving the diversity of education and of our communities, the list goes on.
You might say it’s a test worth studying for.

Experience, confidence on McColgan’s side Injury Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
He led the Kelowna Rockets in point production in each of his first two seasons in the Western Hockey League. So what does Shane McColgan do for an encore ? For starters, the 18-year-old Californiaborn forward has no plans to focus on his day-to-day statistics. By taking a biggerpicture approach to his game in 2011-12, McColgan expects the offensive numbers will take care of themselves. “I think I kind of jinxed myself last year, I put a little too much pressure on myself at the start of last year,” said McColgan, who admitted to being affected by the expectations of his draft year. “I think I’m just going to go with the flow, work my hardest, be a good leader and a good team guy. I want to be more consistent, too. I think that’ll get me pretty far and get me where I need
to be point-wise.” And the Rockets aren’t expecting anything less from the diminutive, yet feisty and skilled forward who racked up 135 points in 138 regular season games over his first two years of major junior hockey, including 69 as a 16-year-old rookie. Last spring, the N.Y. Rangers draft pick also led Kelowna in playoff scoring with 19 points in 10 games. So it’s little secret that a large degree of the Rockets’ success this season will hinge on the 5-foot-9 speedster’s contributions in the offensive zone. Still, head coach Ryan Huska said a more wellrounded McColgan will be of even greater value to both himself and to the WHL club. “I think our expectations for Shane are for him to continue to improve and to take on more leadership with our team,” said Huska. “We want him to maintain his offensive ability and continue working on being a solid two-way player. If he does that, he does everything

terrific year. “He doesn’t have the draft hanging over his
head this year,” added Huska, “and he comes in with more confidence.”
In addition to having two full years of WHL experience under his belt, McColgan returns to Kelowna after a lengthy and eye-opening stay at his first NHL training camp. McColgan expects his 10-day stint at Rangers’ main camp will only benefit him and his teammates as the 2011-12 season progresses. “It’ll just give me that much more patience and leadership, it’ll be fun to see how it’ll help me,” said McColgan, a fifth round pick of the Rangers in 2010. “It’s just being around guys like Brandon Dubinsky and Ryan Callahan, who was just named captain there. I kind of soaked up what they did on and off the ice, and I think I can bring that here and show some of what I learned to our younger guys.” McColgan will make his WHL season debut Saturday night against the Vancouver Giants in the Rockets home opener.

KSS Captain Kaitlyn Given led all players in the match with kills and passing percentage. Given and Hait were both named to the tournament’s all-star team. In the semi-finals, KSS defeated No. 4 McMath in two decisive sets. Hait and power hitter Given lead all players with kills and blocks, while setter Cayte Wilson quarterbacked the Owls offense to a very smooth victory. KSS standouts also included middle McCall Capozzi, power hitters Hillary Schell and Kaitlyn Val-
gardson, along with rightside hitter Tori Taneda. The Owls received excellent passing and defense from liberos Mackenzie Reynolds and Breanne Enright, who both controlled the offensive attack and defensive resistance all match long. Throughout the preliminary rounds on Friday and Saturday, KSS went undefeated while using 15 different line-ups. The Owls’ standouts included key performances from Grade 11s Gabbi Down (setter), Megan Peleshetyck (middle), Natasha Balske (middle) and Tori Taneda (rightside).
sidelines Adolph Max Adolph’s Western Hockey League career has been put on hold. The 19-year-old forward has been placed on the indefinite injured list by the Kelowna Rockets as the result of a concussion he suffered in the club’s first pre-season game against the Vancouver Giants. The 6-foot, 182-pound Adolph, who has a history of concussions, has returned home to Saskatoon to recuperate. He’s expected to miss a minimum three months of action. “After assessment from our doctors, we’re doing what is in in the best interest of Max,” said Rockets president/GM Bruce Hamilton. “Our medical team have advised Max to avoid body contact and shut his season down for now. The best place for Max to recover is at home with his family. We’re going to stay in touch with Max and he will be re-assessed after Christmas.” Concussions also sidelined Adolph twice last season as he played in just 36 games with the Rockets.

Owls get past Bears at Pen Hi tourney The Kelowna Secondary School Owls looked every bit like the team to beat in the Okanagan this season as they won the Pen Hi senior boys volleyball tournament in convincing style last weekend. Ranked No. 3 in the province heading in, the Owls capped off an unbeaten tournament with a 2-0 victory over the rival Mt. Boucherie Bears in the final. Head coach Mike So-
r
daro considers this group of Owls to be even stronger than last season’s veteran-laden KSS squad. In Penticton, Sodaro cited the solid play of Mitch Goodwin, Liam Birker, Ty Campbell, and Tyler Pomietlarz as keys to the tourney win. Meanwhile, Bears coach John McParland was also pleased with his team’s performance. Boucherie downed Pen Hi in the semifinals,
before losing a close match to KSS in the final. Scott Plocktis and Cole Mullen of the Bears were selected as tournament all-stars. “The tournament was a real success for our team,” said coach McParland. “We have mostly grade 12’s, many have not played since middle school so we are still in that process of learning the game at this level.”

Sun files grievance
t
B.C. junior football’s most heated rivalry clearly isn’t limited to the playing field. The Okanagan Sun is in the process of filing a grievance with the Canadian Junior Football League, accusing the rival Vancouver Island Raiders of tampering. t The Sun allege the Raiders violated league rules in the events leading up to the acquisition of receiver Mitchell Thomprson, prior to the B.C. Football Conference’s transaction deadline on Sept. 15. According to the Sun, Thompson told the team and GM Howie Zaron earlier this month he was homesick and wanted to return to Regina. Zaron said he was willing to grant Thompson his trelease if he committed to ta team in Saskatchewan— but not the Vancouver Island Raiders. Instead of making his way back to Saskatchewan, Thompson ended up on the roster of the defending BCFC champs. Under CJFL guidelines, a player cannot make contact or be contacted by another team before he is granted his release by his original club. If that happens, the new team is required to inform the former club of any such contact. While the Sun did issue Thompson his release, Zaron said the club has reason to believe it wasn’t until after the player had already contacted the Raiders. “I’m not going to release a player who I know is going to go play for an arch rival, it just wouldn’t happen,” said Zaron. “It’s not the first time they’ve
MARK BRETT/BLACK PRESS
been accused of tampering, so rather than not do anything about it, it’s time for us to take a stand. We’ll see what happens.” As for the Raiders, head coach and GM Matt Blokker insists any contact with the ex-Sun receiver was all above board and in line with CJFL rules. Blokker told the Nanaimo Bulletin that his club didn’t tamper in Thompson’s case or in any other player transaction. “It’s just accusations by a team that’s crying sour milk because they lost a good player,” Blokker said. He added that he thanks the Sun because they “bring more entertainment to the BCFC.” Thompson played in five games with the Sun and was fourth in receiving when he left the club.
In a separate incident, the Sun has filed a complaint with the B.C. Football Conference regarding the treatment of one of its players during the Sun’s 33-20 loss to the Raiders on Aug. 27 at Caledonia Park in Nanaimo. Game highlights show Okanagan defensive back Brennan Van Nistelrooy being thrown to the ground at the back of the end zone by a fan who the Sun identify as a former general manager of the Raiders. The play can be seen in the Raiders/Sun highlights package in the early stages of the second half at viraiders.ca. The Raiders and Sun will renew their on-field rivalry on Sunday, Oct. 9 at the Apple Bowl in the final game of the regular season, one that will decide first place in the BCFC.

Brandt’s claims KMSL crown; IGA faces North Country After heartbreaking shootout losses in the title game each of the previous two years, Brandt’s Creek Pub wasn’t about to take no for answer again in 2011. Brandt’s took down the regular-season champion Kelowna City Rangers 2-1 on Saturday afternoon at Mission sports fields to win the Kelowna Men’s Soccer League Premier Division championship. With a little more depth on their roster, and a game plan to grind down and frustrate the Rangers most skilled players, Brandt’s was able to control the majority of the play. “We saw a lot of (the Rangers) this year, so we knew how they played and what they were going to try and do,” said Brandt’s player/coach Matt Arruda. “I think our depth won it for us, we just wore them down. We played them hard and didn’t give them a chance to get going.” Veteran Kyle Bilinski scored in the 30th minute to give Brandt’s the lead, then added his second of the game on a pass from Gary Allen in the 55th minute to make it a two-
goal edge. The Rangers finally broke through with about 15 minutes to play when Justin Kandola found the back of the net, but Brandt’s held firm the rest of the way. The Rangers, who finished first in the regular season with 17-1-2 record, simply couldn’t solve Brandt’s pressure or defensive play. Brandt veterans Dan Vicaretti, Sean Murphy and Mike Jaschke made life miserable for the Rangers skilled and normally dangerous trio of Kyle Logan, Alain Oenema and Dan Hunt. “It was a well-fought game, (Brandt’s) had a plan and stuck to it,” said Rangers player/coach Kyle Logan. “They won everything from us and didn’t give us a chance to settle down. We won our games on skill this year, we had to grind it out and couldn’t play the way we wanted. “It was a good season,” added Logan. “We’ll look to build on it for next year.” For Brandt’s, the win was particularly satisfying after losing the final in both 2009 and 2010 to
Timberline, both in shootouts. “The guys just wanted it,” said Arruda. “Looking back at the last two years, it made everybody hungrier. We have a few older guys, in their late 30s and pushing 40, so for a few of them, I think they really wanted to get this one. A lot of hard work went into it this year, and the guys just grinded it out.” It was Brandt’s seventh KWSL championship win in the last decade.
OVER 45 SOCCER
It will be the unbeaten regular season champs IGA against North Country Appraisals Kickers in the playoff final of the Okanagan Over 45 Men’s Soccer League Saturday in Penticton. IGA cruised to a 7-1 win over Salmon Arm while North Country needed a shoot-out to get by Vernon Camels which ended 0-0 in regulation. North Country scored on three of their four shoot-out shots while Camels only scored on two of their five shots against North Country keeper Martin Vincze, as the darkness descended on the Marshall Field.

The UBC Okanagan Heat men’s basketball squad continues its tune-up for the first season of CIS competition with an exhibition game this weekend at the Kelowna campus. In a 1 p.m. tip off on Saturday, the Heat will take on the Blue Angels from Washington. Last weekend, the UBC Okanagan men dropped a pair of pre-season contests to the Seattle Mountaineers, 98-68 on Saturday at Immaculata, and 105-70 Sunday afternoon at UBCO. Both games presented a great opportunity for the Heat to get a taste of real action on the court before they kick off their 20112012 season as Canada West’s newest member. “It was important for us to play someone besides ourselves,” said Heat
assistant Coach Kelly Broderick. “We played a team that obviously has skill and size; they’re a little bit older, little more mature. They’re doing things differently, and that really forces us to learn how to play together.” On Sunday, the Mountaineers shot 62.3 per cent, with starter Rashaad Powell shooting a superb 8-for-12 including 2-5 from the three-point line, as well as 6/8 from the foul line. Second-year wing man Mack Roth led the Heat with 18 points on 6/10 shooting, including 5-8 from downtown over an efficient 14 minutes of play. Conversely, starting guards Brad Quevillon and Yassine Ghomari recorded 36 and 37 minutes of play respectively, but continually struggled with their shooting touch,
finishing 2/12 and 3/15 respectively. Steve Morrison scored 14 points and also led his team with six rebounds. “It felt great to get out the shakes in our system, the cobwebs. We haven’t played together at all yet,” said Heat veteran Simon Pelland. Broderick spoke after the game about some of the things the Heat can take away from their experience playing the Mountaineers as they move forward into Canada West play. “It did hurt us these last couple of games without (guard) Bret (Macdonald) but it gave us opportunities for other guys to step up in other spots. A lot of times guys were playing out of their natural position, which is another challenge. We’re learning that we’re able to rise to
that challenge for a certain amount of time.” On Saturday, the player for the game for UBCO was Steve Morrison with 12 points. The Heat will open the Canada West regular season Nov. 11 in Lethbridge.
HEAT WOMEN
The UBCO women’s basketball team has a busy weekend lined up with two exhibition games and a scrimmage. Tonight (Thursday), the Heat will be in Langley to take on Trinity Western, then will travel to Abbotsford Friday to take on University Fraser Valley. On Sunday at 5 p.m. in Penticton, Heather Semeniuk’s squad will meet UBC Vancouver for a scrimmage.

Retirement: Aging Air Canada pilots still grounded T he saga of Air Canada pilots affected by that airline’s mandatory retirement policy achieved another milestone, recently. The result, for the moment, is that the mandatory retirement of that airline’s pilots, at age 60, has been upheld. I first reviewed this case more than four years ago, as it began its snakesand-ladders-like ride through the federal human rights process. In 2007, all the news in the human resources sector was about the spreading abolition of mandatory retirement across this country.
YOU WORK HERE
Robert Smithson While many provinces had announced, or implemented, legislation to end mandatory retirement, the federal jurisdiction had yet to follow suit. And two Air Canada pilots had just lost their bid, pursuant to the Canadian Human Rights Act, to keep working past age 60. The federal Act, while
prohibiting discrimination based on age, continued to allow employers to impose mandatory retirement on an individual at the “normal age of retirement” for persons working in similar positions. This allowed parties such as Air Canada and its pilots’ union to negotiate collective agreements which included a mandatory retirement provision. In the Air Canada case, the evidence was that the union had previously agreed to retirement at age 60 for pilots in exchange for a rich compensation package which put the Air Canada pilots in an elite group of pension-
ers. Indeed, one of the two complainants was entitled to pension benefits of over $120,000 per year. However, the two pilots, Vilven and Kelly, alleged that Air Canada discriminated against them on the basis of age by requiring them to retire at age 60. Their union supported Air Canada’s opposition to these complaints. Neither of the complainants was forced to stop working altogether— both found ongoing employment with other airlines. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal dismissed the complaints of discrim-

ination. It found that age 60 is the “normal” age of retirement, as defined in the Act, for pilots flying regularly scheduled international flights on widebodied aircraft with major international airlines. Canada, in fact, had (in 2007, anyway) no maximum licensing age for airline pilots. To be licensed, pilots have to successfully pass medical examinations approved by Transport Canada and, after the age of 40, the examination must be passed twice per year. Canada is, however, subject to the standards and recommended practices developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization. The ICAO has standards and recommended practices for the maximum age of pilots flying commercial aircraft internationally. At the time the pilots were forced to retire from Air Canada, the ICAO’s maximum recommended flying age was 60 (but it has since raised that standard to age 65). The evidence consid-

retirement at age 60 is a “bona fide occupational requirement” in the context of Air Canada’s operations because retaining the pilots beyond that age would constitute an undue hardship for the airline. This means that the pilots are back where they started in 2007 in that Air Canada can still force them to retire when they turn 60. In a broader sense, the era of mandatory retirement in the federal jurisdiction for employees who have reached “the normal age of retirement” for persons in similar employment has ended. This represents one more nail in the coffin of the practice of mandatory retirement from employment.

ered by the tribunal revealed that, for 80 per cent of pilots flying regularly scheduled international flights on widebodied aircraft with major international airlines, age 60 was the normal retirement age. This was sufficient for the tribunal to conclude that 60 is the “normal” retirement age in this context. That was 2007. Since then, in more appeals and reconsiderations and rulings on this matter than the average person could hope to count, a number of significant developments have occurred. In 2009, the Federal Court of Canada and the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal determined that the “normal age of retirement provision” contained in the Canadian Human Rights Act is unconstitutional. So, regardless of what happens going forward, that protection of the practice of mandatory retirement seems to be a goner. However, in its most recent ruling, the tribunal has determined that

The only thing he didn’t teach me was how to change a tire— that credit goes to my father. He wouldn’t let me drive my then newly purchased Chevette until I could change a tire on my own. It’s a learned skill I’ve had to put to use at least five times that I can remember on my own. So with that said, I am very excited to be doing this column for the Capital News.

The Great Olympics
The animals had had enough. The Humans were going down. They had suffered many millenniums 13 e Ag of being trampled beneath their dirty feet. This year would change all that. This was the year the historic Olympics, the year of 2078. Ten chairs had been put out for the interview. Ten reporters from different species sat in front of the President. They had come from around the world to question the President about his predictions of the outcome of the Olympics between the humans and animals. After humans discovered that animals could talk, they created the great Olympics, in which different species versed the humans for gold. Of course, only the humans ever managed to get gold. “The question period may begin,” mumbled the President’s timid secretary. “Do you believe that the human competitors will manage to snag gold one again from the animal kingdom?” began a vividly coloured toucan. “Well, we have done it every other year, now haven’t we.” chuckled the arrogant ruler. “How can you be so sure?” questioned a gorgeous black panther with a slight smirk. “Our species always finds a way,” replied the president, his confidence clearly noticeable. The animals knew exactly what that way was. It was horrid and morally incorrect. The humans had been cheating for the past 13 years. They would glue the competitors feet to the ground, ad sleeping pills to their drinks, and make them disappear. Yet no one ever questioned them. They were the mighty humans, the kings and queens of the gorgeous kingdom called Earth. The question period went on for a gruelling hour, in which the President showed just what he thought of the animals. What he did not know was that the animals had a few tricks up their sleeves this time. It was time for payback.
The night before the games, the animal Olympians snuck into the human bunks and tampered with their equipment. They stuck weights onto the sprinters’ shoes. They put glue onto the high jumpers shoes. Then what they did was unheard on. They took the weight lifters steriods. Of course, that would just a tiny part of the plan. The next morning the humans awoke joyously. They had everything planned. They had tinkered with the animals equipment two night back. Of course they never expected the animals to strike back. The humans noticed that their equipment had been messed with, but it was too late. The games began in an hour. So the humans, with their raging angers, began moving toward the games. The animals were already at the field and just as angry. They, in their own revenge, had forgotten about the humans cheating habit. The athletes lined up and waited to be called onto the field. “All 100 meter sprinters to the start line.” called the enthusiastic announcer. Both the humans and the animals lined up. As the whistle blew they sluggishly began across the line. With the weights around their feet, they wearied long before the halfway mark. Both sides had to be disqualified. Then the high jumpers were called, but they were glued to the floor back at the athlete’s bunks. So it went on for the entire games. Everyone was disqualified one by one. The pitiable athletes, who had trained hard for the entire year, had sabotaged their selves. The humiliation was clearly seen in their eyes. They had let down their team mates, fans and most of all themselves. It was then they realized how wrong it was to cheat. Though the games were over, the humans and animals still had one thing left to do. What happened next astounded everyone. The teams apologized to each other. Together the teams discovered they had one thing in common, their passion for sports. Ever since the Great Olympics, humans and animals get along better than ever. In fact, they have even become best of friends and all because of the Great Olympics of 2078.
The Adventures of Mason
by
Eknoor Gill
Once in a base in Florida, a boy name Mason was born. There was Age 7 a explosion that gave him powers like super strength, flying and the element of fire. They lived in a small town called Kelowna, BC. He was skate boarding home when a bunch of bullies came. So mason punched the bully then another one came and jumped on Mason, then he got his skate board and the bully fell off. When he got home he went in his room and got his paint ball gun and right when he saw the bullies he shot them. Six years later on his 16th birthday his parents told him the truth he was so angry he packed his clothes and he ran away on his brand new motorcycle. While he was ridding he was thinking “Great powers comes great responsibility”. He was riding day and night then made it to his relatives he asked them If they knew if he had powers but they did not know what he was talking about so he got on his motorcycle so by the next day he made it to Ontario. Then the villain that had all the elements her name was Lady Element so mason punched her then she used fire to hit Mason. Mason would have more power then super strength if he touches wood metal rubber ext. he hit the villain and victory was his and he returned home.

Heavy Metal Rocks to Raising awareness a first step the tune of diversity Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
This past weekend World Financial Group, along with the Salvation Army, attempted to shine light on a topic that isn’t always acknowledged in the Okanagan.
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
In its fourth year, the Heavy Metal Rocks program is attracting a bigger assortment of young people than ever. “We are proud of the fact that we have six female students and five students of aboriginal descent participating in our Heavy Metal Rocks program this year,” said Deb Roseleine, community partnership facilitator for the Central Okanagan School District. “It’s great to see the diversity of School District 23 students represented in this event.” The Heavy Metal Rocks initiative, sponsored by local industry and WorkSafe B.C., gave 28 students from School District 23’s Career and Life Programs the chance to work outdoors with heavy machinery at the Emil Anderson pit in West Kelowna from Sept. 23 to 25. The enrollment of six females in the program was a major boost as last year’s program was completely male-dominated. Amanda Storey, a Central School student, said that getting into some of the large pieces of construction equipment was a little intimidating at first. “It’s pretty scary because they’re so big compared to you. It’s kind of like, how am I going to drive this?” said Storey. From Thursday to Saturday, Storey and 27 others had the opportunity to operate Skid steers, D6 Cats, excavators, graders, dump trucks, boom trucks, rock trucks, 950 loaders, ride-on rollers, rock drills and a simulator trailer. Storey said that she enjoyed working with the dump truck most, due to

I’m so small compared to everyone else here.” According to Storey, Heavy Metal Rocks was a valuable experience that will help her achieve her goal of being like her father. “The reason why I got into this course was to follow in my dad’s footsteps. He was a heavy duty mechanic.” The students’ lessons on how to operate the equipment took place under the direction of experienced male and female operators. “I think it’s a real good opportunity to let them get out, get on some equipment, talk to operators and find out what the trades have to offer,” said Tom Kinnear, of the Operating Engineers Training Association. Kinnear said that students excel at operating different pieces of equipment. “Everyone’s got dif-
ferent weaknesses and strengths. That’s the best thing about this: They can find out what they’re good at.” Lindy Monahan, occupational safety officer with WorkSafe B.C., said that safety is a key aspect of the Heavy Metal Rocks program. Before any student gets on a new piece of equipment, a pre-shift inspection is done. “They’ll talk about the safety features on each piece of equipment, what are the pinch points,” Monohan said. “If it was on the rock truck or the tandem, where is the blocking that they need to block so that they don’t put their head in where a piece of equipment’s raised.” “They talk about seat belt use, looking for their ground crew, being aware of where people are on the ground, (being aware of) overhead power lines, See Diversity B3

happens elsewhere in the world. But it is an issue in Canada and it’s definitely an issue in the United States. We have to deal with what happens in our backyard,” said Tidd. Les Parks, branch manager of World Financial Group, said that the issue was unknown to him a few years ago. “We were really surprised when we heard about it a couple years ago. We’ve always known that it’s been a problem in the bigger centres. To know about it in our smaller communities, we really want to help out with that,” said Parks. Tidd said that World Financial Group’s determination to tackle the problem is inspiring. “World Financial Group has a real passion for our fight against human trafficking. The funds that they raise today will go to our initiatives here and in B.C. We have a shelter in Vancouver for women that are trafficked, (it’s) an escape from that,” said Tidd. “Here in Kelowna we’re working towards getting into the schools and trying to address the issue and make kids aware, because they’re vulnerable.” Tidd said that the shelter in Vancouver has created positive change for victims. “Usually we partner with police. They know the shelter is there and they will bring (victims) there,” he said. “While they are there, they get legal support, they get counseling. Obviously anything they need as far as medical care, we arrange for that. “Because a lot of them have been trafficked out of other countries, we work with them to either return or get situated in Canada if they want to stay. “Those are the kinds of supports that we’re able to offer.”

CLIP AND SAVE THESE HANDY REMINDERS
INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS CORRECTLY
� Install smoke alarms on every level of your home. � Have smoke alarms outside each separate sleeping area. � Install interconnected smoke alarms in each room so that when one alarm sounds, they all sound. � Mount smoke alarms high on walls or ceilings. � Don’t install smoke alarms near windows, doors or ducts where drafts might interfere with their operation. � Never paint smoke alarms. Paint, stickers, or other decorations could keep the alarms from working.
CHECK YOUR SMOKE ALARMS REGULARLY
� Test your smoke alarms once a month, following the manufacturer’s instructions. � Replace the batteries in your smoke alarm once a year, or when the alarm “chirps” warning that the battery is low. � HINT: Schedule battery replacements for the same day you change your clocks from daylight savings to standard time in the fall.
� Never “borrow” a battery from a smoke alarm. � Don’t disable smoke alarms even temporarily. � If your smoke alarm is sounding “nuisance alarms”, try relocating it farther from kitchens or bathrooms. � Regularly vacuuming or dusting your smoke alarms every 6 months can keep them working properly. � Smoke alarms don’t last forever. Replace yours once every 10 years.
KNOW HOW TO RESPOND WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS
� Fire can spread rapidly through your home, leaving you as little as two minutes to escape safely once the alarm sounds. Your ability to get out depends on advance warning from smoke alarms, and advance planning - a home fire escape plan that everyone in your family is familiar with and has practiced. � Make sure that everyone in your home can recognize the sound of the alarm, and knows exactly what to do when it sounds. � Pull together everyone in your household and make a plan.
� Draw a floor plan of the home, marking two ways out of each room, including windows and doors. Also, mark the location of each smoke alarm. � Choose an outside meeting place a safe distance from your home where everyone can meet after they’ve escaped. � Make sure to mark the location of the meeting place on your escape plan. � Practice the escape plan at least twice a year. � Studies have shown that some children may not awaken to the sound of the smoke alarm. Know what your child will do before a fire occurs. � If there are infants, older adults or family members with mobility limitations make sure that someone is assigned to assist them in the fire drill and in the event of an emergency. Assign a backup person too, in case the designee is not home during the emergency. � Be fully prepared for a real fire: when a smoke alarm sounds, get out immediately.

Optimism can prove costly
I
was pleasantly surprised by the amount of media attention drawn to the Shannon Lake Road event Sunday afternoon held to remember Stew Tuningley, to raise awareness for the need to do something about driver carelessness, and to raise awareness about the state of wrongful death law in B.C. I intend to build on the rally and move forward with my One Crash is Too Many agenda of addressing driver carelessness. I invite anyone who wishes to assist me in my campaign to email me. The media seemed most interested in the issue of wrongful death law in British Columbia. It is a campaign that the Wrongful Death Law Reform Group has been working on for some time Email group facilitator Don Renaud (reception@campbellrenaud.com) to add your voice to that campaign. The wrongful death topic inspired another, related topic for this week’s column—the question of what happens if a crash victim is not killed in the crash, but dies before his or her claim for fair compensation is resolved. Let’s assume your 10year-old child is seriously injured in a crash. Your daughter is not released from the hospital until five months after the crash, and is left with serious, unrelenting pain. Her life is completely changed. She misses lots of school. Recreation is pretty much non-existent. You are advised to wait to see what her future is going to be like, so you resist entering into settlement negotiations with the insurance company until you absolutely have to. A lawsuit doesn’t have to be commenced to enforce the claim until age 21. You encourage your daughter to wait until then before considering settlement. By then, the level of suffering she will endure for the rest of her life will be more clear, as will be her career options. As a parent, your child’s injuries and the impact they are having on her is breaking your heart. It is breaking your daughter’s heart as well, along with her spirit. At age 20, she takes her own life. Sheesh, what a horrendous story! But what happens to the claim?
W RANDALL ROBINSON
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott Similar to a wrongful death case, your daughter’s claim is effectively deleted except to the extent there were financial losses. The 10 years of pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment of life your daughter endured, from age 10 when the crash occurred to age 20 when she took her own life, goes completely uncompensated. This is not a farfetched scenario. It often takes three to five years to achieve that point of “maximum medical improvement,” when the medical system has done all that can be done and time has run its course to achieve maximum recovery from an injury. Until that time frame passes, the medical system will be optimistic for a full recovery. Optimism is important, but I recommend allowing the time frame to pass to see whether or not the optimistic prognosis will prove accurate. There is a probability, at any age, that we will die, so every year there is a percentage of claims that are effectively deleted during their three to five year lifecycle. I wonder how much this adds up to in insurance company profits on an annual basis? Should the law change so that the non-financial “pain and suffering” losses are compensated, with the compensation paid to the victim’s estate? paul@hlaw.ca
Artist/musician to challenge for seat on council Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Randall Robinson announced Monday that he is gearing up for the race to earn a seat on council. Robinson said that the District of West Kelowna council would benefit with him on it. “I bring a different perspective than the typical representation that’s been there for the past four years,” said Robinson. “I work in technology, I have a different perspective on how technology and sustainable industries are changing the climate of business.” Robinson said his love of the arts is another unique aspect that might set him apart from other candidates. “I represent a slightly different sector: I’m an artist and a musician.” Robinson is a grandfather of two and a father of four. Two of his sons are police officers. “That gives me a different perspective on community policing. I think this is a very critical time in the relationship between the community and its policing.” Robinson has lived in West Kelowna for just under four years; however, he grew up in Kelowna and is very familiar with the Okanagan. Robinson has clear goals in mind of what council needs to achieve over the next three years. “I think council needs to focus on a couple of things. We need to follow
Randall Robinson through on the plans that have already been dealt,” he said. “We have to take a good hard look at the relationship between West Kelowna, Kelowna, Westbank First Nation and our neighbours to the south in Peachland. I don’t think there’s a good relationship there now. “We have a very unique community in West Kelowna,” he continued. “We have a very clean slate. Talk to anyone in West Kelowna and you’ll hear the concerns about sprawling, about poor city planning or they fear that the city planning won’t be representative of their desires. “I think we have to get a handle on West Kelowna as a city and we have to go forward with the right attitude, the right perspective.” As of Tuesday, two mayor, 15 councillor and five school trustee packages had been picked up from the District of West Kelowna office. The period for filing nomination papers is Oct. 4 to 14.

Culture opens its doors to all starting Saturday in Kelowna Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Which is the more viable mythical creature— Ogopogo or Sasquatch? Thankfully for Kelowna, civic pride will see local comedian Timothy Nutt fend for the lake monster when he faces off against Vancouver monster comedian Roman Danylo on next week’s live taping of CBC’s The Debaters. For its 75th anniversary, the national broadcaster is throwing open the doors on a multi-day, cross-country event called Culture Days, which culminates, for Kelowna audiences, in a special taping of three episodes of The Debaters on Tuesday. This is Nutt’s first time taping the show in his hometown, although he is a bit of a veteran at debating topical, twisted, inane and insane questions for the hit show with topics like: “Does Canada need a makeover?” “For comedians, there are only two types of shows,” said Nutt from his lakeside home.
“‘I cannot believe they’re paying me to do this’ and, ‘Give me my money.’” Kelowna will be hoping for “I cannot believe they’re paying me to do this” as Nutt tries to explain why this city’s exalted mascot, the Timothy Nutt muse for our Bernard Street public art and the character who outshines all others as our official float, parts the sea of mythical beings and should reign supreme over Sasquatch. Asked whether he believes in Ogopogo, Nutt admitted he’s got a pretty good view of the creature’s supposed home and is a little skeptical. But he has heard from many people, including his daughter’s daycare teacher, that they’ve
seen it with their own eyes. “The compelling evidence seems to be that it’s either a sturgeon or rogue waves, but on the other hand, the problem is there’s thousands of eye witness reports.” Following Danylo and Nutt’s round at the microphone, Charlie Demers and Paul Myrhaug will debate beer versus wine, followed by Rebecca Kohler and Ivan Decker on the topic “Women need to accept that all men are projects.” If it’s actually possible to follow such a statement with another debate, Jeffery Yu and Darcy Michael will give “Keep kids off the Internet for as long as possible” a go and Erica Sigurdson and Graham Clark will try “Will video stores be missed?” Finally Al Rae and Charlie Demers will wind the evening down with “Karl Marx: Is it time to give him another look?” The three episodes of the show will start taping at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at the Kelowna Community Theatre. To be an audience member and decide who wins or loses, go to www.selectyourticekts.com.
As part of the Culture Days festivities, on Oct. 1 all CBC offices across the country will hold an open house, which in Kelowna includes a tour of brand new office space, at 243 Lawrence Ave., from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. With the launch of a new afternoon program and new host on the morning show, there should be plenty of opportunity to get acquainted with the updated CBC crew and venue. There will also be a gigantic sale of 23 years worth of CDs with the money going to the Kelowna Community Food Bank.

Artists make their point in abstract/representational terms
S
ince its invention in Western art in the early years of the 20th century, abstraction has been seen as the opposite of mimesis, that is, the task of depicting observed reality. Representation and abstraction were opposite poles then; abstraction was an absolute, whereas representation could range from naturalistic illusionism to loosely portrayed scenes or objects. Recently this has changed, and in the hands of some artists working in the new century and millennium, the two poles have been brought together so that the opposite energies of each arc and spark back and forth. This charged zone or place is the “point” referred to in the title of the current exhibition of paintings by five artists at the Kelowna Art Gallery—The Point Is. The artists in this show are all Canadian, three from Vancouver: Pierre Coupey, Lan-
ON VIEW
Liz Wylie don Mackenzie and Bernadette Phan; one is local: Bryan Ryley, and one from Ontario: Martin Pearce. Their work was not well known to one another before this show and they certainly do not form a school or movement. They have been brought together in this show solely due to this idea of their combining abstraction and representation in the same paintings. The works are all large and are grouped together by artist in the installation of the exhibition. Each artist’s section is introduced with a text panel about his or her thinking and method. As well, the show is accompanied by a vis-
itor experience brochure, an MP3 player with 10-minute audio segments of each artist talking, and a full-length, fullcolour exhibition catalogue. The response to date has been very positive, judging by gallery visitors’ notes on our comment sign-in sheets. One does not have to be an expert on contemporary art to enjoy looking at the paintings and teasing out their references and connections to real life. In fact, the work of each of these artists is accessible to anyone willing to slow down and take a look. The unusual element about Pierre Coupey as an artist is that he is also a poet who has enjoyed success and acclaim in both his writing and visual art. One of the original founders of The Georgia Straight in Vancouver, Coupey straddles the two worlds of art and literature with ease. In fact he feels that each of these feeds into the other. Some of the
CONTRIBUTED
THE POINT IS, is an exhibition of works by Pierre
Coupey, Landon Mackenzie, Bernadette Phan, Bryan Ryley and Martin Pearce who each chose to combine abstraction and representation to express themselves. The show is at the Kelowna Art Gallery until Oct. 30. real-world references in his work are to Japanese culture and art, the world of nature and the activity of handwriting. Landon Mackenzie is a nationally known painter who lives and works in Vancouver. Her two massive paintings in The Point Is are from a series of work that explores mapping—both in terms of cartography and neural mapping—and electronic and mass communications.
Mackenzie works over long periods of time on her canvases and the viewer is easily made aware of the accretions of labour and thought that have built up in layers within each painting. Martin Pearce also produces paintings that exhibit the process of their own making as a frontand-centre element. He began the works in the exhibition after looking at photographs of houses under construction and
thought the light-dark pattern of roof beams against the sky was a good basic starting place. He began by drawing on his canvases with a grease pencil, then, over time, and with much thought, Pearce applied and then scraped off paint. The final works show all the evidence of these processes and are each made up of multiple vestiges from previous states. Bernadette Phan spends years on her paintings as well, having used tiny ovals in her earlier paintings, then, more recently, little modulescum-brushstrokes of colour. The finished works read a bit like cloudy skies and each has its own distinct mood. These paintings are calming and highly beautiful and speak to altered mind states, where we might feel we are just on the verge of some sort of enlightenment. For several years, Bryan Ryley has consistently worked existential
content into his abstract paintings. His three large paintings in The Point Is have a certain gravitas that comes from his massive scale, thick and intriguing paint application, and shapes or images that overlay his basic grid structure at the basis of his work. The paintings are fascinating for the amount of content Ryley is able to include, while still occupying the territory of abstraction—he has no interest in narrative. The point of The Point Is is to introduce visitors to the Kelowna Art Gallery to this new area of practice in contemporary painting. It could be of great interest to anyone involved in the creative process in any sort of endeavour. The show is on until Oct. 30. Liz Wylie is the curator at the Kelowna Art Gallery. 250-762-2226

Creekside Lady Antebellum follow up is a solid CD Theatre ENTERTAINMENT
LADY ANTEBELLUM: OWN THE NIGHT (CAPITOL)
On their new album cover ,the band members of Lady Antebellum look like they are at the very tail end of an all-night fancy party. The guys fhave on semi-formal wear and singer Hillary Scott looks as if she still has on her red carpet designer dress and somehow in the early morning they find themselves on a Fellini dolce vita beach. The group is probably referencing their big rGrammy night where they won five of six categories they were nominated for and it was indeed a night that they owned. This brings us to their third release and probably their most difficult album as expectations are now so elevated. This disc made its debut at No. 1 on national charts meaning big time crossover from country, but then Own The Night really isn’t a country album as much as it is an adult-oriented pop album. There are occasional rustic stringed instruments such as fiddle, pedal steel and mandolin as well as a sprinkling of accordion but these are mostly seen in the song credits more so than in the final audio mix but I don’t think committed fans are going to care where this music gets pigeonholed. Own The Night isn’t nearly as strong as Need You Now and the ubiquitous title track that radio of all formats played to death. But it is a solid album with a dozen songs for fans to sink their teeth into. It is a certainty that the first three songs here will be big hits—you can tell by the label’s add-on sticker—so look for the mid-tempo We Owned The Night and the soft rock of Dancing Away With My Heart to become future hits. For some unexpected variety, check out the orchestral country pop
SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell against the more breezy, light-hearted R&B country of Singing Me Home which I think is the best track on the album. B-
GAVIN DEGRAW: SWEETER (RCA)
New York singer/ songwriter Gavin DeGraw more or less solidifies his standing as a better than average blue-eyed soulster with his fourth album. This may sound like damning with feint praise but DeGraw is in a wildly over-populated musical genre; however, his songs seem to stand out on radio even if he has yet to record anything as immediate as his first success, I Don’t Wanna Be, from five years ago. For the first time DeGraw has co-written with a few other notable writers, especially Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic who shares credits for DeGraw’s newest hit, Not Over You, that has predictable lyric snippets such as: “yer beautiful” and “turn on the radio.” Other than this, DeGraw offers sturdy if not spectacular original songs where he is not trying to re-invent the wheel in the blue-eyed soul realm. At a mere 10 tracks, the disc is somewhat short but fans will not be disappointed. C+
SPIN DOCTORS: POCKET FULL OF KRYPTONITE (EPIC)
The subtitle of this two-CD set re-issue is The Anniversary Edition as it was 20 years ago that the New York rock band recorded this disc that sold an astonishing 10 million copies worldwide. Pocket Full Of Kryp-
KAG open house for Culture Days Culture from B4 by Northwest, will tape a another free show: June Goldsmith’s Why Music Works. The program includes Goldsmith talking about the life and music of Chopin and will see Vernon-based performers Colleen and Alicia Ve-

tonite, despite its title, was an album worthy of Superman with its five hits highlighted by Jimmy Olsen’s Blues and the band’s signature song, Two Princes. This was a magical album for Spin Doctors who never released another disc that came close to matching the strong songs of their debut and in fact the group’s four follow up releases were very mediocre. The band was a bareboned rock trio with jam band ambitions but their songs translated well to pop radio. The real gems here for committed fans are on the second disc of 16 tunes that features demos that are not that
much different from the studio offerings as well as a couple of live tracks. In fact, to my ears the demo of one of the five hits, How Could You Want Him (When You Could Have Me?), sounds better in the studio DYI workup. B
PAUL RODGERS & FRIENDS: LIVE AT MONTREUX 1994 (EAGLE) Younger rock music fans probably know Paul Rodgers from his recent mega arena tours filling in for Freddie Mercury fronting Queen. But Rodgers has had a career equal (some might say greater) to Queen
with superstar groups like Free, their signature song being All Right Now from the early ’70s when Rodgers and Free were all still in their teens, and Bad Company, who were huge in their heyday. As a result, Rodgers can draw on a lot of ‘friends’ when he wants to and here he is joined by ace guitarists such as Brian May, Neal Schon and Luther Allison as well as other notables such as Jason Bonham and Eddie Kirkland. Rodgers hammers his way through evergreens as mentioned above as well as smashes such as Wishing Well, Little Bit Of Love and Can’t Get Enough Of Your Love the latter two from his days in Bad Company. The real treats here are Rodgers’ solid covers of gems like Crossroads, Hoochie Coochie Man, I’m Ready, but sometimes the storming guitar solos tend to bury the songs. Still, Paul Rodgers proves once again why he is considered one of the best front men in all British rock. B-

A movie about cancer is usually a pretty serious outing, but with stars like Seth Rogen (Knocked Up) and Joseph GordonLevitt (Inception), 50/50 brings some good laughs as well as tears.

Not much depth Help stop No. 1 killer of Canadian women in Lautner film, Abduction W VOLUNTEER CENTRE
Dawn Wilkinson CONTRIBUTOR
ABDUCTION
Am just back from Italy and will never again complain about Canadian drivers. I will also be forever grateful that I live in a country in which we can drink real coffee and we don’t have to pay the equivalent of $6 for a glass of water—but I’m not the travel writer, so let’s move on to the movie review. This week’s new film, Abduction, sees Taylor Lautner, of Twilight, fame starring as Nathan Harper in this film produced by Lautner’s own production company. Lautner is only 19 years old and was ranked fourth on the 50 most amazing bodies list by People magazine. (No, that’s not why I went, really!) Abduction is an action-thriller, but the two main characters—Nathan and his love interest, Karen, played by British born Lily Collins who was last seen in The Blind Side—are, in my opinion too young for the maturity needed to deal with the multi-dimensional stresses that they have to face. Nathan (Taylor Lautner) faces the reality that the life he thinks he lives is not real and even his psychiatrist Dr. Bennett (Sigourney Weaver) is not what she seems to be either. Karen has to face the fact that her neighbour’s house has blown up, the neighbours have been killed and her parents have left this high school kid home alone while they vacationed in Italy (is everyone going to Italy this year?). As the show progresses, we see that there are few people in Nathan’s life that he can trust and while the plot is shallow and the characters are not too deep either, it is watchable. I am always amazed
BEHIND THE SCREEN
Susan Steen that throughout these movies—through the fight scenes, the car chases, the bullets flying, the falls into water and other mayhem—makeup never smudges, bruises never show up, and not a fingernail gets broken. I can break a fingernail opening my car door. And why, when being hunted down, do folks continue to want to sit and talk in a restaurant at a table right in front of a glass window and then act so surprised when they get shot at? This was an OK Saturday night flick to pass a couple of hours. No one will win any awards and there are really no big revelations that we hadn’t already figured out. It truly would have been more fun if the characters were less transparent and more mysterious, but it wasn’t bad…a bit young and goofy, but OK. Best quote of the movie: In the scene filmed at PNC Park in Pittsburgh (home of the Pittsburgh Pirates): “I don’t like this game at all, but I do like the popcorn.” Two and a half reels for this one, unless you’re into hunky bodies and then it’s a solid three. PS: A big thanks to Jane H. for pointing out my error in my last column. Helen Mirren actually starred in Prime Suspect and NOT Silent Witness as I stated. Thanks for the email! Susan Steen is a local non-profit executive and movie buff.
Heart disease and stroke take one in three Canadians before their time and is the No. 1 killer of Canadian women. No Canadian is immune from this threat. Today, nine in 10 Canadians have at least one risk factor, but many are not even aware, or they mistakenly believe that nothing could happen to them or someone in their
way. The Heart and Stroke Foundation is a volunteerdriven charity organization. With the help of volunteers, donations, education and research we can make death wait. Find out more when
fice and many more. Please contact Aleah Zylyk, area administrator, at 250-860-6275 or email azylyk@hsf.bc.ca.

What’s In a Church?
Church buildings are found across our globe. We call some houses of Christian worship cathedrals, abbeys and basilicas. These are generally massive structures made of stone, glass, slate and iron, and they house priceless items of religious art. Some are humble structures made of clay, wood, bricks, mud and thatch. Some have survived for centuries and took hundreds of years to complete. Others have been built in our recent history. The diversity found in Christian houses of worship is mind boggling; yet each of these buildings is an offering of praise and worship to God, from those who designed, financed and built them, as well as those who maintain and refurbish them. Despite their great and mind boggling diversity, all of these buildings have something in common: they are truly God’s houses. Jesus declared that whenever two or three gather in his name, He is among those gathered (Matthew 18:20). These words declare that Jesus is powerfully and mysteriously present every time we gather in His name within the walls of a church. Because Jesus is truly present among us in worship, study and service, He calls His church to be like a hospital, a garden center and a gym. Jesus’ presence makes ‘church’ a place where people can experience healing, growth and strengthening Church is a Hospital: Jesus said that He came to earth in human form to be a doctor for the sick, to heal sinners and to call them to a new life (Luke 5:31-32). The Gospels testify that people who were physically blind, deaf, paralyzed, possessed and covered with leprous sores came to Jesus for healing. Jesus healed these people of their diseases, casting the evil spirits out of those possessed by them. These people came to Jesus with repentant minds; they believed that they had no hope for healing other than Jesus, that He was of God, and able to help them. Jesus strengthened their faith by healing them. The physical ailments healed by Jesus point to spiritual ailments that we all have in common. We all often experience times of spiritual blindness, when we can’t see God in our lives, and spiritual deafness, when we can’t hear God, and yet we desperately need to see and hear Him. We experience times of spiritual paralysis when we are stuck in a rut or have fallen into a hole and just can’t get going. Sins and transgressions, past and present, separate us from God and others. When the Gospel is proclaimed, that God forgives us for our sins because Jesus died for them, and is really present with us, the spiritually blind are given sight so that they can see God, the spiritually deaf are given the ability to hear God, the spiritually paralyzed are healed so they can walk with God, and the sins that separate us from God are forgiven and thus moved out of the way. We can be healthy. Church is a Garden Center: Jesus compared the life of faith to what happens in a grain field each spring, summer and fall (Matthew 13:1-22; Mark 4:1-20 & Luke 8:1-15). These verses are known as the Parable of the Sower. Seed is sown in the earth. Some of the seed hits poor soil and dies; however, some seed hits good, rich, deep soil. A miracle occurs; the seed sprouts and a plant grows. Roots sink into the soil and a stalk and leaves grow up toward the sun. The stalk produces a head; the head ripens and produces seeds of grain. In His interpretation of the Parable of the Sower, Jesus compared the Word of God to the seed sown, and our minds as the soil upon which the seed is sown. God’s Word is sown on the minds of its hearers every time Holy Scripture is read and preached upon in public, contemplated in Bible studies and meditated upon in private devotion. Jesus promises that whenever God’s Word, like seed and water, meet the good soil of a healed mind, a miracle will occur: the Word of God will take root in the good soil of a repentant mind. In the same way that a seed produces a plant and stalk, the Word of God produces faith in God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the repentant mind. Jesus’ Parable of the Sower illustrates the work of God’s Word in our lives, teaching us that God’s Word produces faith and is thus a gift from God. The Apostle Paul put it this way: “Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.” (Romans 10:17). Church is a Gym: Jesus does not call Christians to be couch-potatoes! On the contrary, He said: “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.” (Matthew 7:24). Jesus wants us to exercise our faith by putting His words into practice. As we live, worship and work together, we rub shoulders and butt heads and therefore must constantly forgive one another (Matthew 18:21-22), turning the other cheek when we are hurt by a fellow Christian (Matthew 5:38-42). We are also given eyes to see the needs of our fellow Christians and we are moved to help one another in time of crisis, love one another, encourage one another and pray for one another. The mind healed and planted with the Gospel seed sees beyond self and is able to reach out to others and offer comfort and solace to those in distress. Christians working together are able to offer food, water and clothing to the needy, the sick are visited and healed, those imprisoned are visited and the stranger is taken in and cared for. When we put our faith into action something happens: a head of grain or fruit of the grain appears. The Apostle Paul calls the transformation occurring within us the ‘Fruit of the Spirit’. Paul promises that Christians who put God’s Word into practice will experience peace, love, joy, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and selfcontrol (Galatians 5:22-26). This process of healing, growth and exercise begins with the worship of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. If you feel sick, need to grow in faith or need to exercise your faith, I encourage you to attend a church in your area and let God heal you, cause your faith to grow and inspire you to exercise that faith. If you have no church home, we invite you to come to Grace Lutheran. If you hunger for traditional worship, liturgy and traditional hymns accompanied by the organ or piano, our 10:30 Sunday service will feed your hunger. If you hunger for simple worship, contemporary praise songs, confession and prayer, you will be fed by our noon service. Our “Get Fed” worship service is new. It is small and intimate. If you want to get in on the ground floor of a new movement of the Spirit at Grace Lutheran, please join us Sundays at noon. We look forward to meeting you!

SARSONS, GEOFFREY On September 24, 2011, our father passed away in Kelowna General Hospital, the same hospital where he was born on June 27, 1918. Dad grew up in Okanagan Mission on the property that is now part of Southwinds at Sarsons. He attended school in the Mission and one of his teachers was Anne McClymont. Dad married Clarice Spall, and served in the RCAF during WWII. He returned to live on the farm to help run the family dairy and orchard. There they raised their four children. Dad had many skills. He co-owned an electrical company and later he was manager of the newly formed Okanagan Mission water district. Dad also was very community minded. He was involved in the building of the Okanagan Mission Community Hall, the Okanagan Mission Boy Scout Hall and the Okanagan Mission Fire Hall. He was instrumental in the creation of the Okanagan Mission Volunteer Fire Department. Geoff was predeceased by his parents Christopher and Annie Sarsons, his wife Clarice and his sister Phyllis Swaisland. He is survived by his children: Roberta Withers, Jerry Sarsons, Judy (Andy) Grierson, and Rod (Donna) Sarsons; 12 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff at Orchard Manor where Dad had resided after selling his property. At our fathers request there will not be a funeral but donations in his memory can be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Condolences may be sent to the familyby visiting www.mem.com.

Throughout Caleb’s illness he taught us to smile in the face of fear and love with the fullest of hearts. From the time Caleb was born into this world he brought a ray of sunshine everywhere he went. He was so funny and loved to use his imagination to lead people to the wonderful places within his heart and mind. As Caleb’s disease progressed he never gave up. His cancer had stolen his abilities and his body was failing him and yet he still lived as though everyday was a gift. Caleb will be deeply missed, forever loved and never forgotten. He is survived by his Parents - Calvin and Shelley Lanz, Sister Avery Lanz (7), Paternal Grandparents - Blair (Beverly) Lanz and Diane (Hilary) Syrnyk, Maternal Grandparents Dave Collins and Jacqueline (Robert) Block, Paternal Great Grandparents - Urna Lanz and Henry Rieger, Aunts and Uncles: Jody Collins, Terry Graham (Charli Erker), Todd Graham (Tamara Graham), Justin Lanz (Salinna Laplante), Cousins Braden (10) and Taylor (6) Lanz and many wonderful friends and extended family.

Visitors had the opportunity to tour the heritage farm, eat delicious food and enjoy live entertainment while kids burnt off their energy in the Kids Activity Zone.

Mt. Boucherie Secondary School Community Connection September 2011
Learning to lead locally and globally BY ALLISON BROWN On September 14, 80 leadership, peer counselling, link crew and global service students piled on a school bus and made the two hour journey to Rockridge Canyon outside Princeton, for an overnight retreat. Many students described it as ‘unforgettable’, ‘would go again in a heartbeat’ and ‘wished they could stay longer’. Once we arrived, everyone broke off into their workshop groups to plan
events and learn more about leadership. The grade 10s, the newbies to the group, learned more about the different styles of leadership they could branch off into in the second semester. Styles including: ‘Link Crew’, the welcome committee for the school, the ‘Peer Counsellors’, who lend an ear to the students who need someone to talk to, the ‘Global Service’ group who assist others globally and lastly, the ‘Leadership Class’ who help to lead school
events. The purpose of the trip was to learn more about leadership, plan future events for the school, connect with one another and have a little fun while doing it. Rock Ridge was equipped with a regulation size soccer field, swimming pool, basketball court and a hockey arena. The highlight for most was the dual zip line - the largest in western Canada. Flying over an entire camp and lake at 70-90 km/h got us out of our comfort zone
and encouraged us to try new things. “Even though we had to pay our own way, it was worth it. Learning about all the directions I could branch off into really opened my eyes.” says Kassidie Cornell, a grade 10 student that attended the retreat. Bringing our newly found leadership knowledge back to the school along with our desire to make a stronger Mount Boucherie community excites us all.
STUDENTS AT A LEADERSHIP RETREAT AT ROCKRIDGE enjoyed learning how to come together for the greater good of their school and the global community.
Q Upcoming West Kelowna Mayor’s Youth Forum
Bridging the gap between youth and community BY BRIANNE MOORE Last spring, students who were a part of Mount Boucherie’s Student Voice club voiced their opinions to the West Kelowna council, Peachland council and Westbank First Nations council, proposing the idea of a police liaison officer and a youth forum. Having the opportunity to present allowed the council members from all three areas to hear views of the Okanagan youth. The students shared their concerns of how
there is a lack of youth activities, how there is a need for a police liaison officer, and how the voices of students are rarely heard. As a result of expressing their concerns, West Kelowna council has plans to fund a police liaison officer for West Kelowna schools, as well as sponsoring the first ever West Kelowna Mayor’s Youth Forum that will be taking place October 28 at Mount Boucherie. The Student Youth Forum will be an opportunity for youth to have
the chance to share their ideas, opinions and concerns with local council members, business owners other adults involved with youth. It will provide a setting for the youth and adults of the community to share ideas and possibly work on current problems the community is facing. Student Voice is eager to begin bridging the gap between the youth and the adults of the community, in hopes of building a partnership that benefits the community.
Clubs: a vital part of the high school experience

BY ATLANTIS FELKER High school is about finding your true self. How can you discover who you truly are or what type of things you are most passionate about if you never leave your comfort zone? There are many ways you can become involved at Mount Boucherie; join a club, meet new people with similar interests as you, and grasp an opportunity to learn new skills and form long-lasting friendships. If you have opinions or ideas that you would like to share then join Student Voice, or Grad Committee, or the Journalism Club, and be heard. Link, Smart Risk and Life Savers are

Simonson volunteered to have sponges thrown at them to help raise money for the Salvation Army, held at Estates Square.
Terry Fox Run: students running for a cure On October 6, the grade 10 leadership class will be hosting the Terry Fox Event from 11:15am-11:45am. Last year the school raised $2,604.69 and the school hopes to top that this year. Students will fundraise, run and are then invited to attend a BBQ put on by the culinary arts students. There will also be a bake sale, head shaving and other fun activities. Money raised will go to the Terry Fox Foundation. Donations welcome. For more details call the school office 250-712-7040.

Those who are passionate about helping people and making an impact on the world can join Global Service and the Rotary Interact Club. The Gay/Straight Alliance Club is another good way of making an impact on your school by making our school safe and welcoming to all students regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The Knitting Circle Club, the Student Athletic Council, the Anime and Manga Club, the Quilting Club, the Rodeo Team and the Gaming Club are open to anyone
Change is certain By TAYLOR CHARRON It has taken me some time to except it, but I must. I mean, change is good isn’t it? Without variation, we would all remain in our ways; not open to the new concepts or ideas the world has to offer. As a high school senior, I am now facing the most momentous change my young life has yet to see: the bridge from childhood to adulthood. More specifically, a very long and obscure road lies ahead for my classmates and I, one that will differentiate those who go down one path rather than another. Believe me, it’s a lot of pressure. For instance, I’m aiming for above ninety percent in all of my classes, I’m in a variety of clubs including global service and grad council, I have a job and I play tennis regularly; it’s a lot to handle. For some, the transition will be swift: deadlines will be met and plans will be made for
who wants to share and enjoy interests with their peers. Take up the chance to be matched with mentors and learn how to launch a business in the Dragon’s Den Club or compete in various trades and technologies in Skills Canada, or learn to finally quit smoking in the Kick the Nic. The Environmental Club is new and open to anyone who wants to meet people who share the same passion for caring for the environment. It is a place to engage in projects or submit ideas that will be heard and appreciated. Make the most of high school and become involved with the variety of clubs that Mount Boucherie offers.
mbss student opinion... their future adult selves. These are the ones whom embrace the idea of change completely. However, others, (myself included in some instances), will hold onto their childhood with all of their nerve, for this is what we know. Change may lead to good things, but change is also uncertain, unreliable; and this scares me. Maybe, just maybe though, that’s okay. In fact, I think that all of us are afraid of what we haven’t yet learned and making mistakes because of it, but that’s what growing up is all about: making mistakes and learning from them. Accordingly, I like to compare change to an explosion: both sudden and permanently impactful for those affected. I think I rather feel the heat of the blast and take it in, whether it be good or bad because I am becoming an adult and as scary as it is, the unknown is also something to be extremely excited about.
