The Kelowna native and the grand-daughter of Cliff Ser-wa—one of the founders of Big White—became an Olympic medalist in Sochi, bounding to the podium to receive her medal, still fl ying high a day after real-izing a lifelong dream.

In the women’s ski cross event in Sochi, Serwa had erased the pain of several years of hard work and recovery, coming back from two different knee surger-ies as well as other injuries suf-fered in her ascent to the top of

the ski cross world, which began in 2008.

“I have been on a rollercoast-er the past two years,” Serwa said to the Toronto Sun following her Olympic silver medal per-formance. “The last three years I have not made it through a full season: I have broken my back and blown my knee twice. I am so glad to be on the podium and in one piece.”

Serwa, 24, had long had high hopes to get to the top of the ski-ing world as a competitor. The

former Big White Racer learned to ski at Big White and was soon good enough to join Alpine Cana-da and begin a career as a down-hill skier.

But after the 2007-08 season and with little solid alpine results to lean on, Serwa jumped to the new sport of ski cross and her fear-nothing attitude and ability to be fast led her to the top of her sport in the blink of an eye.

As a sport it fi t her like a glove.“Ski cross is full out outcasts

from alpine,” she told the Sun.

“Alpine is so strict on rules. Ski cross is more relaxed, for free spirits or people looking for something more exciting than racing the clock.”

After joining the Canadian ski cross team and with immediate results that she never saw on the alpine team, Serwa’s confi dence and ski cross career took off.

In her fi rst crack at Olympic glory, at the 2010 games in Van-couver, Serwa was a medal hope-ful but fell just shy of the podium,

When Kelsey Serwa burst out of the gates of the ski cross race at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, and later jumped up onto the medal podium to re-ceive a silver medal—it was with a youthful abandon and attitude that has served her well in the sport of ski cross.

But in the two year lead-up to the 2014 Olympics Serwa would

run into knee problems, blow-ing out her knee twice and forc-ing her to undergo surgery and serious rehab just to be ready for Sochi.

She returned to the ski cross slopes earlier this season and wasn’t on the podium, but in Sochi it all came together for the former Big White Racer.

Mount Sima caught the attention of Big White after Air North opened

up direct flights from Whitehorse to Kelowna last year.

As a result, Big White staff be-came familiar with the financial difficulties facing Mount Sima and looked for ways to help out.

“When I first heard about opening up a new market for us in Whitehorse…it was an area we hadn’t paid a lot of attention to in the past because of the air travel limitations,” said Katie Balkwill, regional sales manager for Big White Ski Resort.

“But when Air North started direct flights to Kelowna we start-ed to see some synergies between ourselves and Whitehorse, and we struck up a kind of big broth-er, big sister relationship with Mount Sima, which was strug-gling financially at the time.”

She said they began to take note that many families have

relocated from the Yukon to the Okanagan, and there were ways Big White could assist Mount Sima to try and get back on its financial feet.

The Friends of Mount Sima Society in Whitehorse grew out of a group of passionate individuals intent on seeing the ski hill open for the 2013-14 season and to de-velop a sustainable business plan for the hill’s operation in the future.

Balkwill said Mount Sima had a tremen-dous day lodge facility, a leftover benefit from Whitehorse hosting the Canada Winter Games, and had installed a new chairlift.

“It was really a community driven thing with a lot of peo-ple putting in a lot of blood, sweat and tears to raise enough money

to keep the ski hill op-erating,” she said.

“So we see the in-frastructure the ski hill had in place with the day lodge and chairlift, and how passionate the community was behind it, and we asked ourselves how can we assist them.

“In the end, any-thing that helps drive more participation in the sport of skiing and snowboarding, whether

they may or may not ever come to Big White one day, is a good thing. The more people snowboarding and skiing, the better it is ulti-mately for all ski resorts.”

Big White’s steps to help the folks at Mount Sima included donation of ski school uniforms with the Mount Sima ski hill logo included, Big White ski instruc-tors providing updated certifi-

cation for the Mount Sima ski instructors and offering a 25 per cent reduction on day passes for visiting Mount Sima season pass holders.

Balkwill said already this season, Big White has begun to see benefits of the Mount Sima relationship by seeing Yukon ski vacationers hitting their slopes.

As air travel connections are key to the Big White-Mount Sima relationship, so are they with any marketing initiatives to draw more skiers to Big White.

Balkwill said the Fort McMur-ray flight service WestJet is bring-ing to Kelowna’s airport could be a huge boom for Big White next season, as the Alberta oil sands workers have both well paying jobs and extended days off in their shift schedules.

“We’re really excited about that for next year. We think that will be the next big market for us to open up,” Balkwill said.

She said winters in other parts of Canada, such as Alberta and Ontario, can be miserable, mak-ing a trip to Big White a warm winter holiday even if the mer-cury drops down to -10C.

“We may not feel very com-fortable here with those kind of temperatures, but for people in other parts of the country, that is nothing to them from what they’re used to,” she said.

“The other thing people often say to us is how quiet it is skiing at Big White. They can’t quite put their finger on why that is but it comes back to the difference between skiing on fresh powder and the icey and manmade snow people are used to back home.”

Michael Ballingall, vice-pres-ident of Big White Ski Resort, said marketing and air travel are always keys to continued growth for his ski resort.

With Australia having been a marketing target in recent years, Ballingall said he’s excited at the announcement of a direct flight from Melbourne to Los Angeles with the new 787 jets, which in turn can connect easily with the daily flights from L.A. to Kelowna.

“Every time the price of air travel goes up, it kills us,” Ball-ingall said, referring to the taxes and add-on fees often added to airline ticket costs. “When we don’t compare favourably with resorts in the U.S. or even Japan, which is just eight hours away from Australia, for airline travel cost, potential vacationing skiers don’t come here.”

Ballingall added that he ap-plauds the provincial govern-ment tourism marketing budget directing more dollars towards Ontario and away from the U.S., a move pushed for by B.C. ski re-sorts.

“We are a well organized in-dustry in B.C., we told the govern-ment to stop spending money in the U.S., because the Americans weren’t coming, and to look to Ontario,” he said. “They listened and followed our advice, and the skiers now coming here from On-tario this winter is up by double digits.”

As for the U.S. market, visits from neighbouring Washington have already shown an upswing as the Loonie continues to de-cline in value against the Ameri-can dollar.

“We had our third largest weekend ever for the President’s Day long weekend in the U.S. in February,” he noted.

While there has been some negative publicity about the lack of snow in the Lower Mainland ski hills this winter—Cypress, Grouse and Seymour—he said that doesn’t represent what In-terior B.C. ski resorts are experi-encing this year.

“Those mountains on the coast are not ski resorts, they are ski feeder hills. They are not in the destination vacation ski busi-ness,” he explained.

“We are interested in bringing tourists here to stay overnight, to not only ski but also take in the ambience and other activities that go with staying at a ski re-sort. All of the Interior ski resorts were opened by Christmas, all of us have great snow and we’re all doing well.

“The perception of the world at times is that if Whistler is hav-ing snow issues, or Cypress is hav-ing snow issues, than all the ski hills in B.C. are facing the same problem. But that perception is not correct and is something we always have to work on with our marketing message.”

from their friends


For those who don’t wear eye-glasses, regular ski goggles are a good choice. They are smaller and more compact than the goggles which fit over your glasses.

If you wear eyeglasses, over-the-glasses (OTG) goggles are the best option. Remember to bring your glasses with you to try on goggles, if you plan on wearing them while skiing. If you are wearing contacts while ski goggle shopping, keep in mind that you may want to ski while wearing your glasses, on occasion. When that’s the case, you will need the larger-sized over-the-glasses goggles.

There are a wide variety of gog-gles in all price ranges and in dif-fering tints. For your first pair look in the $40+ price range (maybe a little more, if you buy OTG). Tints are for varying sunlight conditions and the tint determines how well the contours of the mountain stand out. Yellow or yellow/brown tints are the most popular and will work well in all levels of sunlight.

Ski goggles should fit com-fortably over your helmet. They shouldn’t be pinched or tight on your face. Goggles that fit correctly over your helmet should be able to rest comfortably on the top of your helmet. However, when pulled down to cover your face, they shouldn’t feel too tight.

There should be enough adjust-ment length in the goggle strap to

guarantee that the goggles will fit any size helmet. There is a strap in the back of the helmet that holds the goggle strap in place. Make sure the goggle strap has adjustment room there also.

When ski goggle shopping, don’t hesitate to ask the sales person if you can try on a display helmet with the goggles you like, to make sure the goggles fit correctly. After all, if the goggles are too loose, they will not keep the snow and wind out of your eyes. If they are too tight, they will be uncomfortable. So, it’s extremely important to find goggles that will fit you when you’re wearing your helmet.

Be sure to try on several pairs of ski goggles before you buy, to see which offer the best fit. Don’t be afraid to ask if you can take the goggles outside the store to see how well the tinted lenses work in natu-ral light - goggles come in a variety of different tints, and it’s important that you find a tint that works best for you.

Prescription ski sunglasses work best for calm days on the slopes. While they do look cool, not all sun-glasses will keep out wind and snow. A good wrap-around pair with foam padding, like these, can cost over $100. Sunglasses should protect against at least 95 percent of the UVA and UVB (ultraviolet light) rays that can cause a sunburn.

GOODGOGGLESThe most important thing

to consider when you buy ski

goggles is whether you will be able to

see properly, especially if you wear corrective lenses.

There was a time in the ski industry when there were rival schools of thought on how to teach the art and skill of skiing.

Today, with the introduction of the shaped ski, there is an inherent turning capability en-

gineered into the ski. The biome-chanics needed to turn and steer the skis down the mountain are uniformly taught throughout the ski industry, and can be quickly learned and implemented.

Here’s How:1. Choose a learn-to-ski pack-

age that will incorporate teach-ing techniques designed to have you stopping, turning, and skiing in control of your speed.

2. When evaluating lesson

What type of ski lesson program should you look for…

programs for young children, make sure they are geared to the appropriate age group, as well as ability of the child. The ski area should have a bunny slope for beginning skiers.

3. If you are comfortable learning with others, choose a group lesson. Otherwise, consider private lessons, at least to get started.

4. Weigh the costs. Private lessons are more expensive than group lessons. A package of sev-eral lessons, will be cheaper than paying for one lesson at a time.

5. Find out what is included in the lesson. Do the lessons include rental equipment (skis, boots, poles, and helmet)? Or will you have to pay extra to rent equip-ment?

6. How long are the lessons? Consider your day’s schedule and allow time to practice and simply enjoy your day of skiing.

7. Schedule lessons according to your skills and ability.

8. Choose a ski school where

the instructors are certifi ed.9. As with any type of teach-

er, there are different teaching styles. You may connect better with one type of instructor than another, so, select a ski instructor with whom you feel comfortable.

10. Also choose a program where you are able to voice any concerns about your confi dence to the instructor. You don’t want to be afraid to speak up.

11. Ski lessons are offered for all ages and abilities - from be-ginners to advanced skiers. Never consider yourself too old, or too good a skier, for a lesson. All ski-ers should learn from a certifi ed instructor, while advanced skiers can pick up new tips and tech-niques from a good instructor.

TIPS:1. Mid-week skiers, and those

who go early or late in the day, may be lucky enough to fi nd an under-enrolled class. If that’s the case, you may be able to get a private or semi-private lesson for the price of a group lesson.

2. Ski lessons can fi ll up fast. During prime ski season, sign up for lessons online. That way you will be sure to get into the class that works best for you.

3. Fun is important! You will want to enjoy your lessons and work with an instructor who makes learning fun, as well as work. This is especially impor-tant for children learning to ski.

4. Check with your child’s school to see if they offer an af-ter school learn-to-ski program. Many schools do, and they will provide transportation, ski equip-ment, a lesson, and ski time for a reasonable fee.

5. Don’t overestimate your ability and sign up for advanced skier lessons if you aren’t ready for them.

Beauty will move faithful followers of an annual sporting event over the Okanagan’s scenic ski slopes and into its world

renowned waters.

More than 200 competitors are expected to converge on Big White this April for the start of the 24th an-nual Sea2Ski Relay, a 95 kilometre race that covers mountains, roads and lakes. But the course that takes racers through some of the Okana-gan’s most familiar vistas is more than just scenic.

It’s an experience that tests phys-ical boundaries and brings competi-tors together for an experience un-like any other, says Josh Foster, the event’s media representative.

“People come from all over the country… and quite a few have done it year-after-year, since it start-ed in 1980,” said Foster.

“The appeal is just that it’s a challenge you can’t fi nd anywhere else—it’s incredible and interest-ing.”

Participants traverse mountain terrain, beginning at Big White, ei-ther as a single competitor, or as a team.

“There are six stages,” said Fos-ter. “It starts with an alpine stage, where participants run up the hill and around a turn post, then they ski down and hand off to a cross country skier.”

The cross country skier does a loop and when they’re done, they hand off to a mountain biker, who heads down Big White to Highway 33, where a road cyclist takes the reins and pedals into Kelowna.

They tag a runner, then the run-ner tags a canoer or kayaker who does a pass around the lake in front of City Park, and that’s it.

Depending on how its done, it can be a gruelling six-stage trek or it can be the most fun way to get a good taste for valley views.

The biggest question is whether

the weather will co-operate. “Last year the roads were icy, so

we cancelled the mountain bike seg-ment,” said Foster. “But, once they got on the highway, the roadbike segment was fi ne. And it’s rare any-thing like that happens.”

24thANNUALSKI2SEARACE BY KATHY MICHAELS

17.BigWhitemagazine

A big cheeseburger might be the perfect thing to hit the spot after a long day of skiing.

But there have only been five people who have dared to tackle The BullWheel Restaurant’s biggest burger.

Al Reid, co-owner of The Bull-Wheel, says the cheeseburger is free if customers can eat everything on the plate in less than an hour.

“We’ve had five people attempt and no one has come close,” says Reid.

“We purposely did it so it’s not truly attainable to the average per-son…it doesn’t even fit on a stan-dard plate.”

The burger is 105 ounces, and is served with 9.5 ounces of caesar salad and 32 ounces of fries. The en-tire meal weighs about nine pounds.

Reid admits “it’s going to take a very special human” to finish The BigWheel’s giant burger.

The restaurant has even created a time-lapse video to show how the massive burger is made. Reid notes it takes about 20 minutes to cook the burger.

“We need a big pizza flipper just to flip it.”

Reid adopted the challenge af-ter coming across a similar contest while taking a road trip on his Har-ley near Blue River, B.C.

He convinced some friends to

give the challenge a try, and quickly realized that the idea was fun and made sense as a business opportu-nity.

Reid and his business partner, John Mooney, have nearly 50 years combined experience at Big White. Reid arrived at the mountain in 1991 to bartend and learn how to snowboard.

Now he and Mooney own The BullWheel Restaurant, which is in its third year of operation.

The duo recently did some reno-vations to the restaurant and up-graded their menu.

“Every year we try to improve The BullWheel. This year we were lucky enough to access some old growth Cedar that we could mill into tables.

“It really helps tell our story of being a Canadiana-themed restau-rant. It’s also a great conversation starter between our customers and our servers.”

But skiing can also present some very real dangers, from frostbite and sunburn to blown knees and head injuries. Follow these safety tips to learn how to stay safe on the slopes.

Why Is skIIng safety Important?

Skiing involves moving at very high speeds down steep hills past other skiers and natural and man-made obstacles. Falls, some of the spectacular variety, are go-ing to happen, regardless of how good a skier you are, and colli-sions are relatively common.

Also, since skiing takes place at high altitudes in the winter, the weather can range from sunny and bright to bitterly cold, with conditions changing rapidly from one slope to the next and

from one hour to the next.The skier safety code, which

is printed on virtually every lift ticket and posted in numerous places around every ski area, lists some of the “inherent dangers and risks of skiing, including: changing weather conditions; existing and changing snow con-ditions; bare spots; rocks; stumps; trees; collisions with natural ob-jects, man-made objects, or other skiers; variations in terrain; and the failure of skiers to ski within their own abilities.” That’s a pret-ty fair assessment of some of the dangers you’ll encounter while skiing.

gearIng UpBefore you venture out to

the slopes, it’s very important to have the right gear and know

how to use it. In addition to skis, boots, and poles, you will also need warm clothing, protective eyewear, and a helmet intended specifically for skiing or snow-boarding.

Here’s a list of what you should bring each time you head up the mountain:

Skis — As a general rule, the larger a ski is, the faster it goes and the harder it is to control. Be sure to buy or rent skis that are appropriate for your skiing ability, and have them fitted and tuned by a trained professional at a ski shop.

Bindings — These should also only be adjusted by a trained professional at a ski shop. It’s very important for bindings to be able to release in the event of a fall to prevent leg injuries, but

have funSki Safe

flying effortlessly down a snow-covered slope, feeling the wind in your face, and soaking up the beauti-ful mountain scenery — there’s a lot to love about skiing. it’s a sport that you can learn at a young age and continue doing for the rest of your life, and it can take you to some of the most spectacular places on earth.

bindings that release too easily can cause falls of their own.

Boots — As the connecting point to your skis, boots are a vital piece of equipment. Make sure to get boots that fit correctly to keep your feet comfortable and warm, and to provide the best control over your skis. Boots should al-ways be buckled up snugly to give your feet and ankles the support they need.

Poles — These should always be the right length and have looped straps that go around your wrists. To check if poles are the right length, turn them up-side down and hold them by the tip, with your hand resting on the basket. Your elbow should be at a right angle with the handle of the pole touching the ground.

Helmet — As is the case with many sports, a helmet is the most important piece of equipment when it comes to preventing life-threatening injuries. You should wear one any time you go skiing. Get a helmet that fits properly and keep the chin strap fastened to keep it securely in place. Also, make sure to get a real ski helmet (not a football or bike helmet) that allows space for your goggles and ventilation on warm days.

Goggles and sunglasses — The sun’s rays are considerably stronger at high altitudes than they are at sea level, and when they bounce off the gleaming white snow, they can be a serious threat to your eyes. Sunglasses are the best way to protect your eyes from the sun’s rays, but you should also always bring a pair of goggles that are the right size in case it gets cold or begins to snow. Goggles are also better at protect-ing your eyes from tree branches and other hazards.

Gloves or mittens — Ski gloves should allow your fin-

KELOWNA NATIVE and former Major League Baseball pitcher Paul Spoljaric

(left) works with youngster Caden Doyle this week during the Blue Jays Honda Super

Camp at Elks Stadium.

Warren HendersonSTAFF REPORTER

Since leaving in the late 1980s to pursue a baseball career, trips back to his hometown have been few and far between for Paul Spoljaric. In Kelowna for a rare

visit this week to teach at a camp hosted by the To-ronto Blue Jays, the for-mer major league pitch-er was thrilled to return to familiar surroundings. “It’s incredible to be

back,” said Spoljaric, 41, whose parents still live in Kelowna. “You know, everybody’s got some-thing missing in their lives, and this is what I was mis-sing. Coming back here and seeing the mountains again, being in this great environment, I really love it. This is truly home for me.”

Spoljaric made a stop Kelowna this week to work as one of the in-structors at the Blue Jays Honda Super Camp at Elks Stadium.The three-day camp

for more than 120 kids also featured the likes of Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar, as well as fellow ex-Blue Jays Lloyd Mose-by, Duane Ward, Rance Mulliniks and Homer Bush.

Spoljaric, who resides

in Lisle, Ont., was the fi rst and only player born and raised in Kelowna who came up through the local minor system and went on to play in the major leagues.

The 6-foot-3 left-hander spent parts of sev-en sea-sons in The Show from 1994 to 2000, including four with the Toronto Blue Jays. Spoljaric made 195 appear-

ances—12 of them starts—and posted an 8-17 record.Getting his start in the game in Kelowna still holds a special place for Spoljaric.

“I’ve got nothing but good memories of all my past, in any respect to baseball in my young-er years,” said Spoljaric, a graduate of Springvalley Secondary. “I can’t think of a bad

coach, I had great coach-es, people like Mr. Watt and Mr. Cridland…there were just so many. They all made baseball fun for me, it really translated in my energy on the fi eld,

and the way I approached the game came through in the way they helped me over the years.”Within Kelowna’s

baseball community, Spol-jaric’s name often comes up as an example—a sort of pioneer or poster boy, if you will—for young players in the valley who as-pire to one day fol-low in his footsteps and play in the major leagues.

Spolja-ric is hum-bled by his place in Kelowna’s baseball history and wants young players to know anything is possible.” “I hope to be the fi rst

of many (major league players) to come from here,” said Spoljaric, a father of three boys and two girls. “It’s an honour to be thought of in that way, and I guess it’s also my reward. “You know I worked

really hard to where I got and it all started right here. I think it’s a good step for any kid that has the op-portunity to play baseball here to realize that you

can make something of it, and get that opportunity to play under the big lights.”Twelve years removed

from the end of his big-league career, Spoljaric still refl ects fondly on his days in the majors, and considers himself fortun-ate to have played as long as he did.

“I got lucky, a lot of things worked out for me, I blossomed at the right time and peaked at the right time,” he said. “The opportunity was there for me to take a chance and get into the big leagues, so I can’t look back on it with anything but fond mem-ories.

And what was the highlight of Spoljaric’s major league career ?“The one that really

stands out for me is my fi rst win,” said Spoljaric, who earned his fi rst M.L. victory with the Jays in 1996. “It was against De-troit and Jacob Brumfi eld scored the winning run. I remember him clearly standing on second, and him just booting around the bases like he was on fi re. That was defi nite-ly one of my best mem-ories.”

Following his ma-jor league career, Spolja-ric played eight seasons in the Intercounty Baseball League, an independent

WARREN HENDERSON/STAFF REPORTER

BASEBALL HALL OF FAME member Roberto Alomar (right) was among

several former Toronto Blue Jays players in Kelowna this week for one of the

team’s summer instructional camps.

Each week during the Pacifi c Coast Soccer Lea-gue season Capital Newsfreelance reporter Drew Pihlainen profi les a mem-ber of the 2012 Okanagan Challenge.

Today, Renan Revel-atto

Q: Why do you play soccer?

A: That’s all we do in Brazil, we don’t have an-other sport. We play soc-cer since we’re born.Q: What do you like

most about playing with the Challenge?A: The people. The

guys, they’re very friend-ly, and because I’m from Brazil that’s pretty much my family here; they’re the only people I know in town.

Q: Is this your fi rst time in Kelowna? What are your impressions?

A: Yes. It’s a very nice town. You have the wine-ries and the mountains –and there’s snow on top of the mountains. It’s very different, because I spent two years in Texas, which is very fl at.

Q: How do people back home react when you tell them about the Okanagan Challenge?A: My family appre-

ciates the opportunity that the Challenge gave me to play during the summer.Q: What do you miss

most about home?A: The food. In the South of Brazil we have

barbecue, called “Chur-rasco” and I haven’t found any place here with the same style of barbecue we have down there. Q: How do you feel

about Brazil hosting the 2014 World Cup?A: It’s very nice.

People will get to know Brazil better. If you’re planning on going to Bra-zil, it should be during the World Cup. For the World Cup, they’re go-ing to clean everything up and the country’s going to work better.Q: What’s one of your

best soccer memories?

A: When I was 14, I made the city team and we went to a tournament where there were 500 oth-er teams. We made it to the fi nal, and there were 2000 people watching. Q: What superstitions

do you have about the game?

A: I try to listen to the same songs when I’m warming up. For big ga-mes, I try to wear the same clothes.

Q: What does your Brazilian perspective bring to the team?A: I think the “heart,”

because I’ve played soc-cer since I was 3 or 4, and I don’t like to lose. Some-times I feel like Canadians or players in other countri-es are alright if they lose a game: “next time”, they say. But I can’t lose.

PREPARING FOR WINTER…Gray Biggins, of Master Sweep

It, uses an electric drill body to clean out the creosol from the chimney of this

Rutland neighbourhood home to maintain the effi ciency of its wood burning

stove. In the wake of a series of recent fi re calls related to furnace fi res as the

temperature has begun to drop, the fi re department urges local residents to

service their furnaces or chimneys prior to the onset of winter.

Simpson home is taken off the heritage registry

▼ KELOWNA

Kathy MichaelsSTAFF REPORTER

With the story of a Lower Mainland teenager’s sui-

cide in heavy circulation, local concerns over bullying

are on the rise.“We usually get one report a year (about bullying),”

said Const. Kris Clark, with the Kelowna RCMP.

“Monday I had two. Parents are becoming more

concerned, seemingly because of recent events, and

that’s a marked departure from the norm.”

While worries are spiking, Clark pointed out that

bullying incidents haven’t really increased.

It’s been a pervasive problem throughout time.

The situation that allegedly prompted Amanda Todd

to take her own life, however, is different on a number

of levels, he said. In addition to its tra-

gic and public conclusion,

Todd’s story had criminal

undertones. “If bullying becomes

persistent malicious be-

haviour that causes some-

one to fear for their safe-

ty, that’s criminal harass-

ment,” explained Clark.

And in Todd’s case

in particular, the circum-

stance is more akin to ex-

tortion. In a video diary entry posted to YouTube before she

died, Todd explained she was tormented after an un-

known man convinced her to expose herself online

in front of a webcam. He blackmailed her and that is

something police may have been able to act upon, said

Clark. That said, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

“We take each case as it comes and we have to in-

vestigate each one as if it’s a criminal offence until prov-

en otherwise,” he said.

And there are tools that can be used to decrease a

child’s vulnerability.

Alistair Waters

ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna city coun-

cil has agreed to a request

from the owner of an Ab-

bott Street house to re-

move the building from

the city’s heritage registry.

The property, which

once was home to Ke-

lowna Sawmill Co. owner

Stanley Merriam Simp-

son, was placed on the

registry because of its con-

nection to the late local pi-

oneer businessman.Simpson once owned

much of the land that now

makes up the downtown

core and sold a large tract

of land to the city in the

late 1940s. That land now

houses City Hall, Memor-

ial Arena and Jim Stuart

Park.City staff said although

the original house was

built in 1921, it has had a

number of large and sig-

nifi cant renovations and

additions made to it over

more than 60 years.The current owner,

who is not related to the

Simpson family, has been

trying to have the property

removed from the heritage

registry for several years,

according to the city plan-

ning department.A letter from the

owner’s lawyer said with

a heritage designation, in-

surance for the property is

more expensive. But city offi cials point-

ed out the house does not

have a heritage designa-

tion, it is simply on the

registry. And that’s a key dif-

ference because inclusion

on the registry does not af-

ford the building any spe-

cial protection, it merely

indicates a historic signifi -

cance—in this case as the

former Simpson home.

Heritage designation on

the other hand, would pro-

tect it from substantial

changes or demolition.

While some members

of council felt the building

should stay on the registry

because of its connection

to the legendary Kelow-

na businessman, the ma-

jority, lead by Coun. Luke

Stack, felt its history is

well known and keeping

records and photographs

is good enough.Currently there are

just 15 city properties with

heritage designation—

and thus protected—and

there are 212 properties

listed on Kelowna’s herit-

age registry.Stack and the other

councillors who sup-

ported the staff recom-

mendation to remove the

property from the regis-

try noted the lack of pro-

tection the registry affords

any property included on

it. Voting against the move

were Couns. Robert Hob-

son, Gerry Zimmermann

and Mohini [email protected]

WITH NEARLY EVERY FACET redesigned or enhanced, the 2013 Porsche Boxster (S model shown) is lower, more aggressive looking, faster

and better on fuel consumption. FYI, the Lady of the Lake is one of several outdoor sculptures and works of art on the grounds of the Barber

Motorsports Park in Alabama where the press preview of the Boxster was held.

Jim Robinson

CONTRIBUTOR

When Porsche intro-

duced the Boxster in 1996,

it was the “must have” car

that turned the company

around.Quickly becoming

the largest volume selling

Porsche until the Cayenne

came along in 2003, it ap-

pealed to a much larger

audience and reawakened

interest in the brand.

Very much in the style

and spirit of the 1950s-

1960s racing two seaters

such as the 550 and RSK,

the Boxster was mid-en-

gined, light compared

to the 911, exceptional-

ly nimble and, most of

all, it looked marvellous

matched by the sonorous

sound of the side-mount-

ed air intakes at full bore.

For 2013 the Boxster

has been changed in every

way, but Porsche engin-

eers and designers did

not take their eyes off the

prize.The “new” Boxster,

showcased recently in

Birmingham, Alabama,

has shorter front and rear

overhangs, signifi cant-

ly forward-shifted wind-

shield, a fl atter silhouette

and is generally more ag-

gressive in its stance aided

by huge new front air in-

takes.The electric top now

goes up and down in nine

gers to move freely to grip your poles, but their most important job is to keep your fi ngers warm. With that in mind, many gloves include pockets for hand warm-ers. If you’re still worried about your hands getting cold, however, it’s a good idea to wear mittens, which are generally warmer than gloves.

DRESS FOR EXCESSAs anyone who has skied on a

cold day can tell you, it’s no fun if you don’t have enough warm clothing. Likewise, on hot days having too many clothes can make you sweat, which will lead to you getting cold when the sun dips behind a cloud or the moun-tains. The best way to tackle this situation is to dress in layers that you can shed or put on depend-ing on the temperature.

Here’s a rundown on what sort of clothes you should wear when you ski to avoid hypother-mia and frostbite:

Thermal underwear — As with all ski clothing, long under-wear should be made of wool or a synthetic fabric such as polypro-pylene rather than cotton, which will stay wet and cold if it gets wet. The best long johns will fi t snugly against your skin to form a warm base layer that your out-er layers can fi t over easily.

Thermal socks — Thicker is not necessarily better when it comes to socks. A sock that is too thick will make your boots too tight, which will make your feet uncomfortable and cold. Choose socks that are the right thickness for your boots and reach up your leg to just below your knees.

Intermediate layers — Fleeces made from wool or syn-

thetic fabrics work best. Try to fi nd ones that aren’t too bulky to fi t under your jacket.

Ski pants — These should be the right size while allowing your legs to move freely. Be sure to get a pair of pants that are water-proof or water-resistant.

Jacket — The best jackets will have plenty of pockets to store your gear. Many people like to use down jackets, which tend to be the warmest kind, but thin shells with extra intermedi-ate layers can work just as well. As with ski pants, all ski jackets should be waterproof or water-resistant.

Neck gaiter — On really cold days, you’ll want to have a gaiter that covers your neck and can be pulled up to cover your face. The best ones will also have a hood to go under your helmet. Remem-ber, you lose a lot of heat through the top of your head, so keeping your head warm is the fi rst step to keeping the rest of your body warm.

ADDITIONAL ITEMSIn addition to the gear and

clothing previously mentioned, other items you might want to bring with you when you ski in-clude:

Hand warmers — These in-expensive packets are available at almost every ski shop and will help keep your fi ngers warm for hours.

Boot warmers — Battery-operated and great for keeping your toes warm, boot warmers can be installed quickly at most ski shops.

Walkie-talkies — These are great for keeping in touch with your family and friends if you head off to ski different trails, and if you get lost, a walkie-talkie will make it much easier for peo-ple to locate you.

Sunscreen — Even on cloudy days it’s possible to get a bad sun-burn while skiing. Always rub sunscreen on exposed skin if you plan to be outside for any length of time.

It seems no matter where you go, you are bound to find an Irish pub, and Big White Resort is no exception.

The Blarney Stone Irish Tavern is the latest addition to the food and

drink offerings at Big White and the new establishment provides all the hospitality you would expect from the Irish.

And it does it in a spectacular mountain setting, according to co-owner Jude Brunt.

“We’re all about having a good time,” she says of the tavern, located at the 82-room Inn At Big White in the village.

Brunt, who is British, and her partner Paul Doherty, who hails from Northern Ireland, are well-established restauranteurs at Big White having operated their Globe Cafe Tapas Bar for six seasons at the nearby Trapper’s Crossing.

Brunt said when space formerly occupied by Carvers, an Indian fu-sion restaurant, came available, she and Doherty saw the opportunity to

help paint Big White green.(The Blarney Stone) has been

very well received,” said Blunt, who held a “soft” opening of the bar, din-ing room and patio in September and opened full time at the start of the season.

Originally aimed at serving an older (40-plus) crowd, the clientele is actually broader than that, said Brunt, with the Blarney Stone prov-ing popular with younger people earlier in the evening, as well as with families who come to dine.

Being a food-primary establish-ment, it caters to all ages, provid-ing hearty and unique food such as stews, pies and even a ploughman’s

lunch. And of course, it can all be washed down with a selection from the large array of beers the Blar-neyStone offers, including many from the Emerald Isle.

In addition, the tavern carries an extensive whiskey selection, featur-ing more than 40 brands.

Smoking is allowed on its patio so it can offer patrons a place to smoke a good cigar, have a glass of fi ne whiskey and enjoy a stunning view of the mountains.

With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner, the Blarney Stone is gear-ing up to make a splash as only the Irish can do on their national day.

In addition to its indoor offer-ings, which will include music from noon to midnight on March 17 fea-turing among others the Victoria-based celtic group, Hub City Hooli-gans, the Blarney Stone also plans to set up a stand outside in the village and offer special Guinness-fl avoured ice cream.

The Blarney Stone, which despite the similarity of its name to other Irish pubs around the world is not

part of a chain, even has its own ver-sion of the famous rock that is said to offer those that kiss it the “gift of the gab.”

Blunt said when the space was being renovated to become an Irish tavern, a large piece of B.C. jade was set into the space above the fi replace, engraved with a celtic cross.

It is described as the establish-ment’s own Blarney Stone.

“We spend a lot of time wiping lipstick off it,” laughed Brunt.

In addition to offering its patrons a good time, good food, a large se-lections of beers and whiskey’s, en-tertainment most nights of the week and an overall good time, the Blar-ney Stone Tavern at Big White also is notable for another reason.

According to Brunt, it holds the title of highest altitude Irish bar in Canada, given its location in the vil-lage which sits 5,757 feet above sea level.

It just goes to show, there’s no where the Irish won’t go to have a good time.
