City’s vitality levels earn mixed results

Bernard update will go ahead Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

When it got to the business of assessing this city’s well being, the Central Okanagan Foundation found Kelowna residents believe they get a pretty average deal—so long as they’re not poor. The Vital Sign report card was released this week and using opinions sussed out from a wide range of community members, the foundation graded everything from education to safety. The city only scored as high as a B-minus, there were a sprinkling of Cs, but one grade in particular stood out. In the category for Gap Between Rich and Poor, Kelowna got a failing D, which is even less impressive than the D-plus grade the city got in the 2009 report . Meaningful employment, the availability of secure work as well as a living wage are becoming a struggle for some, the report explained, and that’s increasing the gap between the rich and poor. “That’s a really challenging area to attack,” said Leanne Hammond Komori, the foundation’s executive director, explaining that the report acts as a guide when they’re dealing with grant proposals. Now non-profit groups aiming to chip away at that issue will likely get higher priority as they vie for a portion of the foundation’s $750,000 annual kitty. That said, empirical evidence on wealth and poverty in Kelowna show that the city is doing better than provincial and federal averages. The pre-tax child poverty rate in Census Metropolitan Area was 22.2 per cent in 2009, which is 11.5 per cent lower than the provincial average of 25.1 per cent. It’s 4.3 per cent lower than the national average of 23.2 per cent. The 2009 pre-tax elderly poverty rate in our CMA was 6.3 per cent, which is roughly half the provincial and national rates of 12.2 per cent and 12.9 per cent respectively. Around 17.9 per cent of the overall population were living in poverty in 2009, compared to the provincial poverty rate of 22.5 per cent and the national poverty

Only a handful of Bernard Avenue property owners are opposed to paying for part of the cost of a multi-million dollar plan to spruce up the look of Kelowna’s main street downtown. According to the city, just four of the 77 property owners between Richter Street and Abbott Street submitted valid petitions opposing the streetscape plan. The petition period for property owners to say if they are willing to pay for 25 per cent of the streetscaping work— a small part of the entire $14 million road project that will see Bernard Avenue torn up from Richter to Abbott and rebuilt with its underground utilities replaced—ended Monday. Terry Barton, City of Kelowna manager of parks and public places, said city representatives have scheduled a dropin meeting with the merchants and the public for Oct. 11 to present several scenarios about a possible time schedule for the proposed work. Based on the feedback from that meeting, city staff will present a final timing plan to council on Oct. 17. On Monday, in a meeting with council, Barton said the merchants have made it clear they do not

want to see construction take place between the Victoria Day long weekend in May and the Labour Day weekend in September next year as that is the time they make most of their revenues. Barton said they also want to see any construction schedules strictly adhered to. Some councillors want the city to start the work in the spring and take a break over the summer before restarting in the fall. But the city’s Bill Berry said it is unlikely the project could be ready to go at the start of the spring as it will take at least six months to have everything in place. “We would be ready to go just to stop (at the Victoria Day weekend)” said Berry, the city’s director of design and construction services. As for working over the winter—another suggestion made by some on council—that has been basically ruled out because of the difficulties it would pose and the fact the city is not equipped to do cold weather construction. Also, unlike some other cities in Canada such as Edmonton and Saskatoon, there is not the local experienced workforce to do it here, noted John Vos, the city’s general manager of community services.

NEWS W FIRST LUTHERAN SCHOOL

Simple as pie: Getting schooled on the ABCs of apple pie making Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

For those who spend hours piecing together ripped pie dough, cutting fingers slicing apples, wiping flour off the kitchen floor come Thanksgiving, it’s time to take a trip to First Lutheran Christian School. This is the 15th year the parents at the school have come together to do their pie fundraiser. They’re baking 2,500 pies in one week. “We have a website and you can order online and we will drop them off,” said pie committee chairwoman Jennifer Monaghan on Tuesday from the school’s kitchen. Monaghan was kind enough to give the Capital News a pie baking lesson to show the community how their small group can get so many pies out the door so quickly. To say we got schooled would be an understatement. With three shifts a day,

Jennifer Monaghan a pastry master who was a baker for eight years and 15 years of assembly line experience under their collective wing, the school’s pie sale committee has their secret recipe for success down to a science—although with a few very up-to-date surprises. In addition to their online ordering (www.flcs. ca), for example, they offer apple pies in sugarless and regular, and the regular only have one cup of sugar for a baker’s mixing bowl of apple filling. Shifts of volunteers pick seven bins of apples, 800 pounds each, over

three picking shifts, and a small band of peelers then slice and dice the apples in a tent stationed outside the kitchen door—sadly, this year, in the rain. The pie dough is made ahead of time using dough master Alf Ruf’s recipe. Now 83 years old, he’s a member of the Lutheran Church, which shares a building with the school, and was a baker before expanding into groceries during his wage-earning years. The slabs of dough he oversees are measured on a scale with specific sizes for tops and bottoms, and the rolling pin assembly line then ensures the pies have a solid base for a mound of apples. The filling has flour and cinnamon and sugar, depending on the variety. “Everybody has their own way of finishing the edges,” said Monaghan. They chose to go with pinched edges, using thumbs only, for a ruffled effect. Each pie is bagged and tagged with baking instructions and carefully filed on a cart. With only 67 students in the school and 40 in the preschool programs, one might imagine sales and delivery would not be so brisk, but the school has a solution for that too. They offer deals. Buy five pies and one is free; most buy the set and put the extra into the freezer. At $8 a pie, this year’s efforts should bring about $10,000, largely to put toward end-of-year field trips and enriched sports programs. The school focuses on the lifestyle sports—skiing, curling, yoga—that one might do in adulthood, over things like dodgeball. The Grade 7 students, who will be spending their last year at the school, are off to the

country’s capital city, and the Grade 5 and Grade 6 students will likely head to camp, though sometimes they go to Vancouver. The fundraiser also purchases art supplies for the preschool programs—there’s a fulltime pre-Kindergarten and part-time preschool, depending on parents’ preference, and in-house daycare. As for the age-old question—butter, Crisco or lard?—apparently Ruf’s time-honoured recipe calls for lard; although the pastry makers won’t give away all their secrets. To buy a pie, email pies.flcs@gmail.com or go the website www.flcs. ca. Students will also be going door to door selling the pies as well. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

WANTED: 30 PEOPLE WITH HEARING LOSS FourChange.org outlines skills W KELOWNA CIVIC POLITICS

sought in new council candidates

WE WANT 30 people who have difficulty hearing, especially in noisy situations, to evaluate Swiss engineered new digital, noise reduction hearing aids, RISK-FREE.

Alistair Waters A local group trying to unseat four Kelowna city councillors in the upcoming election is publicly questioning the leadership and vision of the incumbent quartet. FourChange.org, which has targeted Couns. Michele Rule, Charlie Hodge, Angela ReidNagy and Kevin Craig, says the as-of-yet unidentified candidates it plans to support should be leaders, have a “big picture” view for the city, not push their own pet projects and have the experience and education to handle millions of tax dollars. “The purpose of FourChange is to be united in electing four new people to represent the taxpayers on council —people who are leaders; people who know we need development to help fund social issues; people who have a big picture view of Kelowna’s future, not just pet projects; people who have a balanced outlook; people who have the education or expe-

rience that warrants entrusting them to our $93 million tax base,” says FourChange.org in its latest news release. The criticism of the four incumbents was met Wednesday with a swift rebuke from two of them. “I’d be insulted if it was not so ridiculous,” said Hodge. “Based on that criteria, I’m surprised I’m not their first choice.” Hodge said in terms of leadership, he is often a lone voice on council standing up for what he believes is right. And other than the controversial CD-21 zone, Hodge says council has not rejected any development proposals downtown. As for pet projects, both he and Rule pointed out that five votes are required on council for anything to be approved, so there are no pet projects. Rule, who called FourChange’s approach “unprofessional because it has not identified specific issues or candidates that it supports,” said she was disappointed none of the nine people leading the

group have spoken with her about their concerns. “How much credibility do they have?” she asked, adding she did not take the criticism personally. Like Hodge, she said the criteria the group has laid down for the people it says it will support could describe her as well. “There shouldn’t be anyone running for council who does not feel that way,” she said of FourChange.org’s purpose statement. Earlier this week, FourChange.org identified the nine local businesspeople on its steering committee. Claiming to represent hundreds of supporters, FourChange.org is being led by: Francis Braam—owner and managing broker of Royal LePage Kelowna Brad Cronquist—a partner at law firm Pushor Mitchell LLP Rodney Friesen— president of Voyager RV Centre Nick Frost—founder and owner of Castanet.net Jacquie Jones—a retired human resource and

training consultant David Langton—a partner at Competition Glass Cal McCarthy— founder and president of SW Audio+Visual & Showtime Events Wendy Nelson— founder and owner of Nelson & Associates Jorin Wolf—founder and president of Jorin Wolf Interior Design FourChange.org originally said it only supported incumbent Couns. Robert Hobson, Andre Blanleil, Graeme James and Luke Stack. But the group has since backed away from that public endorsement, with Langton saying last week it does not officially support any candidates at the moment. FourChange.org plans to choose the new candidates it will support from the ones who file nomination papers over the next eight days. The period for filing nomination papers for the Nov. 19 election ends at 4 p.m. on Oct. 14. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Mall fire damage minimal Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Two shops in Orchard Park mall remain shuttered due to the small blaze that broke out Monday night, but otherwise itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business as normal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Aeropostale store and Esprit closed until insurance adjusters decide what to do with their merchandise, but the rest is completely unaffected,â&#x20AC;? said Norbert Gelowitz, the shopping centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s general manager. It was an unusual turn of events, he said, noting that other than the odd garbage-fire mall staff snuff out themselves, nothing of this sort has ever happened. That said, the response was great. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everything couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have been better handled from both the fire department and mallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective,â&#x20AC;? said Gelowitz. The fire, which has been attributed to an electrical issue in Esprit, was contained shortly and the two that remain closed suffered largely from smoke damage. The rest of the mall had a bit of an odour from the event, but Gelowitz said that too has passed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no smell of smoke in the common areas at all,â&#x20AC;? he said. Sprinklers which helped douse the flames are set up throughout the shopping, said Gelowitz, who noted, â&#x20AC;&#x153;itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a safe place to be.â&#x20AC;? The fire department was joined by the RCMP and provincial electrical inspector in determining that the blaze wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suspicious in nature.

W OUR VIEW

RCMP worth keeping in Kelowna

ith policing being one of the biggest budget items for any municipality in this province, it was little wonder that the impasse over the current RCMP contract between the province and federal government was a hot topic of conversation at last week’s Union Of B.C. Municipalities meeting. Not only do B.C. cities, towns and villages have a vested interest in the contract from a public safety point of view, the bottom line cost of using the RCMP

is picked up, in large part, by the taxpayers in those communities. In the Central Okanagan, Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country and Peachland all pay the lions share for policing in their jurisdictions, so a fair, equitable, transparent and accountable deal is what’s required. But according to the province, that’s not what Ottawa is offering. And hence the impasse. But with few exceptions, B.C.’s civic politicians are lining up behind Solicitor-General Shirley Bond to support her

stance as she resists the take-itor-leave-it position of the federal government. While Kelowna and its neighbours are not actively looking at a “plan B” approach of having their own municipal police forces, at least one Okanagan community is. Vernon says while it would prefer to have the RCMP patrolling its streets, it is looking at a force of its own if that’s the route is has to go. And, its mayor says the cost is not out of reach. Wayne Lippert says given

that his city owns much of the infrastructure the RCMP uses in Vernon, establishing a Vernon municipal police force is doable. For years municipalities have wanted more control over the police in their communities and recent high-profile events have only increased the volume of those calls. But on the whole, despite the actions of a few rogue officers, the RCMP is worth keeping here and everything possible should be done to keep it as the the local police force here.

Dumb municipal leaders attack smart meters at UBCM

he annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention spent quite a bit of time talking about new wireless technology. Unfortunately, most of it was wasted on ignorance and fear, fanned by the NDP, Green Party and some like-minded opportunists in local government. A tiny group of protesters gathered outside the Vancouver convention centre each morning, setting up a pile of picket signs wailing about imagined smart meter sins

VICTORIA VIEWS

Tom Fletcher from privacy invasion to human rights violation. One of them allowed that she was wearing “special clothing” to ward off the bad rays. That’s understandable, since BC Hydro calculates that a delegate’s wireless signal

exposure from four days at the UBCM convention is equivalent to standing next to a smart meter for 1,147 years. And that’s not even calculating those other horrible sources of electromagnetic energy bombarding downtown Vancouver, such as traffic lights, spark plugs, and let’s not forget the Sun or Earth’s molten core. It wasn’t all foolishness, however. I attended an economic development panel, at which physician and cabinet minister Margaret Mac-

Diarmid described the continuing extension of rural cell phone and internet service underway since the extension of the B.C. government’s contract with Telus. There was not a discouraging word about cell phone towers, the innovation that spawned the anti-wireless cult in California many years ago. MacDiarmid was beseeched to get cell service to northern Vancouver Island and un-serviced parts of the Interior, and to cut through the multi-min-

istry maze still required for routine approval of towers. Cell phones save lives on remote highways. In the main hall, supposedly experienced municipal leaders continued to parrot fear of “microwaves” and such drivel, either because they believe it or because they are pandering to those who do. This continued on talk radio, which stoked the smart meter controversy, because it reliably generates angry calls. The descent into farce became complete when

delegates had a show of hands on a resolution to place a moratorium on a smart meter installation program that BC Hydro has already paid for. The vote was so close they had to fish out their wireless voting devices to vote about 55 per cent in favour of the moratorium. Premier Christy Clark was asked after the convention if her government would contemplate a moratorium on meter installation. “No,” she replied. This is not surprising, since the motion ef-

fectively asks BC Hydro to waste $930 million. “I’ve spent quite a bit of time talking with the experts about it,” Clark said. “I don’t share those health concerns, because when we’re surrounded by wireless and cell phones, there are a lot of other sources of the problem that they’re concerned about.” As for me, I’m done arguing with people who make up their own facts. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter for Black Press.

W CIVIC ELECTION

Candidates: Think twice before jumping in Open letter to all candidates for Kelowna city council and mayor: 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 nomination papers. Presently, we have had more than 50 people pick up candidate packages for council and 11 for mayor. If like most Kelowna voters you are concerned about the direction we are going with the present mayor and council, 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. I feel we deserve better. Some of you have run numerous times without success. While 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 very positive. Most of you could double or triple what you got in votes in 2008 and still not be at the table. So now is the time for per-

sonal reflection. If you really want change and you can’t beat an incumbent, then please, please, find a candidate that does have a chance, that 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 pro-

W LAND EXCHANGE

Key B.C. cabinet minister missing in action at UBCM To the editor: Where in the world was Blair Lekstrom? Why was he not at the UBCM Conference in Vancouver last week? West Kelowna councillors were at the conference and were able to meet with a number of MLAs and discuss items of relevance to our municipality. (See story B3.) They were able to search out and source materials to assist them in the governance of the municipality. But the one MLA I considered as being the most important one to have had a valid discussion with, was missing. Once again Blair Lekstrom was conspicuous by his absence. All the correspondence, approaches and

telephone calls, had not, according to the newspaper, produced any response from that minister, in relation to the community’s deep concern over the inequality of the “WFN land swap for the interchange land” In my opinion, the concern of MLA Ben Stewart’s constituents (we taxpayers) in regard to the proposed land swap should have driven MLA Stewart to make certain of the honourable minister’s attendance. Although fully understanding the benefits of networking with other councils and councilors, I cannot understand how in today’s advanced technological age it should be necessary to gather the masses in one place.

Surely video conferencing would have been a much more fiscally prudent way to go. All of the council members of each municipality or city could have remained in their communities taking part in numerous video and telephone conferences during the week. Thus cabinet ministers would have had less opportunity to avoid being a part of these meetings. The money spent by each municipality on travelling, accommodation and other ancillary expenses could have remained within the community and be better utilized in other areas.

Chemtrails viewed as a potential health concern To the editor: I have been taking pictures of chemtrails in the Southern Okanagan for the last three months. Before that, I did not notice chemtrails or think much of the subject. I have now noticed lung, eye, and balance issues which so far seem to correlate with chemtrail intensity. After months of observation of the southern part of Okanagan Lake, I am starting to figure out where and when they will spray above me based on

wind. Also, a few days ago there was not a chemtrail in the sky—and it was obvious. They are almost all from the west side of the southern part of Okanagan Lake, just north of Summerland looking westerly at Okanagan Mountain Park. The view is generally from Peachland to Naramata. I am certain there is serious weather modification happening in the valley, and there is definitely at least one conspiracy

about all this, mainly, that hundreds of planes simply exhausting fuel overhead each day is a health hazard. I feel the potential effects of aluminum toxicity are really bad but I can’t buy a simple test kit anywhere in the valley. I would love to hear some “news” about quantitative data in regards to health impacts of both airplane exhaust and of aerosol chemtrail effluent. Warren Hurd, Summerland

file individuals have come forward, which gives them a good chance because name recognition is big in civic elections. Gerry Zimmermann, as an example, is extremely well known, so I would suggest he has a strong chance. (Note: I have never met Gerry so this is not a personal endorsement, just an example.) Turning to the 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 received a total of 378 votes or one per cent of the vote, while

Shepherd finished with more than 53 per cent of the vote and Gray had more than 44 per cent. These two both bring different ideas and management skills to the table, so lets have a good debate between them. Hopefully, we can have less than 15 candidates for council. Then the all-candidates meetings will take on some meaning as we can have a full debate on the issues with them as well. If we go with the present 50-plus, then I think we all know what the result will be. Wayne Pierce, Kelowna

We can learn from Cuba To the editor: I know this week is Social Justice Week and among many events planned in the Okanagan is the showing of a film about a great injustice done to the Cuban people. The film is called “Will the Real Terrorist Please Stand Up?” The filmmaker, Saul Landau, who has made over 40 documentary films, will be here to introduce it at 7 p.m. at the Okanagan College theatre on Saturday, Oct. 8. I am looking forward to seeing this film and learning more about the people of Cuba and their struggles. Canada has a lot to

learn from this small energetic island. I went to Cuba recently on the Che Guevara Volunteer Work Brigade. We worked alongside Cubans in their “organoponicos”—high density organic vegetable plots. It’s sort of like Kelowna’s community gardens, but there is way more of them, way more production and total government support. I sure was impressed by the Cuban’s strong sense of community and love of life. I feel like solidarity is a debt of gratitude we owe Cuba for showing a better way. Eli Nedelec, Kelowna

To the editor: Is everyone seeing what is happening at the Westside Road interchange? Traffic lights are being installed. So it won’t be that smooth transition “on” or “off” Highway 97 that we were expecting. Our First Nations entrepreneurs probably neglected to calculate in the required amount of land or the land swap wasn’t sufficient. But don’t worry, maybe they will be able to install more billboards, providing drivers something to look at while waiting for the lights to change. David Kuhn, West Kelowna

Zanon, Winsby both want another term on district council Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

If there was ever a

doubt that any current member of West Kelowna council wasn’t interested in reclaiming a spot

at the council table, it has been erased. This week, Couns. Bryden Winsby and Carol

Zanon both indicated their intentions to run for another term on council. Previously, Couns. David Knowles, Duane Ophus and Gord Milsom had announced that they would attempt to retain their seats on council as well. Coun. Rosalind Neis and Mayor Doug Findlater have both indicated their intentions of running for mayor. Winsby said he was eager to continue building on what the District of West Kelowna council has already achieved. “We have adopted an Official Community Plan that provides a vision and sets guidelines for the overall direction to be taken during the five years,” said Winsby. “But there are several

other master plans that are more specific in terms of determining how we get there.” Master plans that haven’t been completed include transportation, water utilities, storm drainage and economic development. Winsby said that he is especially focused on ensuring that the transportation master plan encourages “smart growth.” “You drive around the place and you see the crumbling, you see the narrow roads, you see the kinds of situations that don’t make you comfortable when you think of larger volumes of traffic. “We must ensure that large-scale development does not put undue strain on our roads, many of which were built to rural

standards and are in need of upgrading.” Winsby has been in the newspaper industry for most of his working life. He felt that this has given him a unique familiarity with important issues. “It allows me a degree of background knowledge, having covered and observed and edited a lot of copy dealing with local issues. I’m pretty familiar with a lot of it. “I continue to be the old skeptic I always was. I don’t pretend to be an expert, but it gives me some grounding.” A 27-year resident of the Westside, Winsby is also the past president of the Glenrosa Residents’ Association and the Westbank Rotary Club. Zanon is hoping to get elected for the third time.

She was elected to the first-ever West Kelowna council in 2007 and then managed to get re-elected in 2008. Zanon said that her main areas of focus are on: preservation of the watershed, integration of master plans and strategies, land use and development through an updated zoning bylaw, infrastructure needs, energy reliability, transportation, an urgent care centre, community safety and financial stewardship to meet the challenges of 2013. “All of (these matters) require an appreciation of due process, efficiency and good judgment, as well as a sense of social responsibility and social justice,” said Zanon. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

West Kelowna is planning some action to make the Westbank centre a more desirable location. Earlier this year, District of West Kelowna council earmarked $250,000 towards revitalization efforts in the downtown core in its 2011 budget. “One of council’s top strategic priorities for

launched in the coming weeks. A winter banner program will see banners hung from streetlights on Main Street and Dobbin Road. LED festive lights will be strung on streets, trees and public facilities in the downtown core. The district will work with area merchants and the fire department to coordinate this year’s Light Up festivities during the holidays. Landscaping enhancements to the districtowned property on Elliot Road will provide a more appealing entrance to the public facility.

A two-week cleanup of the Westbank centre commercial area, removing garbage and weeds from sidewalks, streets and alleys, will be conducted. A complete streetscape improvement project on Elliot Road will be done, including the installation of a sidewalk, in accordance with the new Streetscape Beautification Guidelines set out in the plan. Finally, a parking study will be commissioned that will take a detailed look at issues of supply, location, management and cost in the downtown area.

Teachers wary of sabre rattling Get your Wellies on! Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

The latest round of threatening headlines in the B.C. teachers’ strike appear to be just posturing to the Central Okanagan’s union president. Alice Rees, president of the Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association, said she understands B.C. school trustees summarily dismissed suggestions from the B.C. Public Schools Employers Association, that teachers be docked pay for work not done or locked out of schools, in meetings earlier this week. “The thing of it is, there is nothing we’re not

Alice Rees doing,” said Rees, noting every teaching function is covered off under the present job action. Teachers have pulled out of administrative meetings and doing extra paperwork and will not handle morning and recess supervision as part of

ongoing job action. However, Rees says none of those functions are actually part of the teaching job. The teachers point to the School Act, noting responsibility for out-ofclass supervision is actually an administrative function and not part of the teachers’ job description. Rees reiterated her consistent message for parents and the general public that the job action is primarily about teacher supports in classrooms, rather than pay. “Students who used to have a full-time librarian now have only half a day a week,” she said.

Students who need psychological testing are given a number and placed in a cue, she said, and time with learning assistance teachers has been drastically cut by comparison to what students received just ten years ago. This past spring, teachers won a Supreme Court ruling stating the government’s actions were illegal when the province stripped bargaining on class size and composition from the teachers’ collective agreement without negotiation. The ruling forms a large part of the ongoing negotiations this year.

Business makes monster cookie buy STAFF REPORTER

West Kelowna Girl Guides of Canada members are going to have a tough time topping Verity and Carys Drury-Moncrieff’s cookie sales. Boyd Autobody and Glass purchased 816 boxes of cookies from the sisters on Monday. “It’s a good buy,” said West Kelowna Boyd Autobody manager Todd Harmeling. “It helps the young girls out; it helps a lot of people out.”

Customers of Boyd Autobody will be among those who benefit from the purchase. Harmeling said that every customer will receive a complimentary box of cookies. According to Heather Harrison, marketing coordinator for Boyd Autobody, the company made a similar purchase earlier in the year. “We had purchased 800 boxes back in April from a little girl in Kelowna. This time we chose to support the West Kelowna division,” said Harrison. Harrison contacted the Girl Guide leader in West Kelowna and

was introduced to the girls from Rose Valley Elementary: Verity is a second year Girl Guide and Carys is a first year Spark. Harrison said that Boyd Autobody tries to be diverse in its charity efforts; however, the success of dealing with Girl Guides makes her optimistic that they will put in another big purchase in the future. Harmeling said that the cookies have been well received by his customers. “Everybody loves them,” he said. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Women’s shelter makes a difference Kelowna’s Gospel Mission and NOW Canada are calling the newly opened Women’s Shelter at the Gospel Mission a resounding success. Approximately 40 different women have had a safe, warm place to sleep, and access to support services thanks to this pioneering arrangement. Since opening Aug. 22, the six bed shelter at the Gospel Mission has been basically full each night, and in some cases

over full. “It is always difficult when you can’t accommodate a woman in need,” said Liz of NOW Canada. “This partnership with Kelowna’s Gospel Mission recognizes the need for more emergency space for women in the community, while helping to create a safer place for women and the community as a whole.” Randy Benson, executive director of the Kelowna’s Gospel Mission,

Natural gas line leak prompts evacuation A construction crew working in the 1400 block of Mountain Avenue struck a natural gas line while digging a hole, which resulted in the need to evacuate 36 homes in the areas of Montcalm Road and Monterey Crescent on Wednesday morning. The evacuation order was lifted later yesterday afternoon. Police says at 10:45 a.m., the gas leak resulted in the strong smell of gas, and raised concerns about accidental ignition of the gas.

Bernard to get a new look Update from A1 Working in the height of the winter would drive the costs up considerably, he added. The city has said it is looking at phasing the Bernard Avenue work over two years, and that prompted some councilors to suggest an accelerated work schedule. “The longer it goes, the more it is going to cost,” said Coun. Charlie Hodge, saying that cost impact will not just be for the city, but also for the merchants. What the city is considering, said Barton, is working on individual blocks of the street.He noted the city’s consultant says each block appears to offer different challenges. The city is also considering using some of its workers for part of the project because that would help speed up some aspects because the tending time would be cut out for those phases. The planned meeting with the merchants follows a gathering held Sept. 20 when possible construction schedules and other issues were discussed. Barton said the merchants said they want to be constantly kept abreast of progress and anticipated impacts so they can continue to operate their businesses while the road work is going on. For its part, the city wants to minimize any negative construction impact, Barton noted. Options such as night shifts, double shifts, using two crews at a time to start from each end and meet in the middle, project management models and winter construction are being, or have been, looked at and weighed in relation to cost. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna’s overall vital signs show ‘great potential’ Vitality from A1 rate of 21.5 per cent. Comparisons of that sort, however, said Hammond Komori, aren’t really relevant, but the figures are still “alarming” and the failing grade residents

gave the city show they have no tolerance for the divide. Overall, the Vital Signs report card shows that the picture is far from bleak. “I think it shows our community has great potential,” she said. “It gives us our prior-

ity list of where we need focus attention and it also helps us recognize where we’ve done a good job as a community.” To read the report go to www.centralokanaganfoundation.org.

W OKANAGAN SUN FOOTBALL

Stakes, intensity high for first-place showdown Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

In Wyatt Smith’s fouryear career with the Okanagan Sun, there has been one constant. Each and every game he’s played against the Vancouver Island Raiders—regular season and playoffs—has carried with it intensity, high stakes and plenty of emotion. The veteran defensive back expects all will be in abundance when the arch rivals square off Sunday afternoon at the Apple Bowl in a game that will decide first place in the B.C. Football Conference. “This is really what I look forward to all season, playing the Raiders,” said Smith, 22. “Watching the film this week, it’s hard not to get excited about it. Playing these guys is awesome, I think it brings out the best in both teams. I’m getting goose bumps just thinking about it. This is what you play all year for and why the boys have worked so hard to get here.” The Sun’s task on Sunday won’t be a simple one, but it couldn’t be more straightforward—a win by 14 points or more clinches top spot for Okanagan (8-1) for the second straight year. Anything less and the Raiders (9-0) will claim first place in the BCFC for the fifth time in six seasons. And, as always, along with the regular season title comes home field advantage throughout the conference playoffs. It’s a challenge Sun quarterback Jeremy Mraovic expects his teammates will rise to. “We have to play pretty much a perfect

game, and I think we can do that,” said Mraovic, the Winnipeg native who has passed for 1,908 yards and 18 touchdowns this season. “We have very good athletes on all three sides of the ball, offense, defense and special teams, and we match up well against them. If everybody does their job, if we play a good, sound game, then there’s no reason we can’t come out of this with the points we need.” What the Sun does have on its side this weekend is the 13th man.

‘‘

WITH THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS GAME, I EXPECT A PHENOMENAL ATMOSPHERE AND A PACKED HOUSE. Jason Casey

The BCFC club is expecting the largest crowd of the season—by far— to jam the stands at the Apple Bowl. “With the importance of this game, I expect a phenomenal atmosphere and a packed house,” said Sun head coach JasonCasey. “We expect our guys to feed off that and lay it all on the line. Our goal is plain and simple, to finish first. “The) Raiders have been the best team the last four or five years, what they’ve done is unparalleled. To be the best you have to beat the best. “From a fan standpoint,” added Casey, “you can’t ask for much more, you get to see 100 of the

Led by quarterback Jordan Yantz (32 TD passes), running back Jordan Botel (1,102 yards) and receiver Andrew Smith

(723 yards), it’s little secret what the Sun will have to do to have success against Vancouver Island on Sunday. “We have to keep their offense off the field as much as possible,” said Wyatt Smith. “They’re going to get their big plays, and we’re going to get our big plays, but if we can play a threedimensional game, then

we can have some control over that. “The (Raiders) can strike at any second, so we have to be ready on every play. Our coaches have been busting their butts to get us prepared and we feel like we will be.” Just how successful the Sun will be at limiting the V.I. offense’s production will also hinge on the play of the Sun’s offense

and its ability to maintain possession of the ball. Unlike their previous meeting with the Raiders—a 33-20 loss Aug. 27 in Nanaimo—Mraovic said the Sun now possesses an effective running game, led by Armand Bokitch’s 566 yards. “We didn’t have a running game (34 yards) when we played them last time,” said Mraovic.

“But with (Jay) Christensen running the the offense, we have a more balanced attack now. Running the football takes times off the clock, keeps your defense off the field, and keeps their offense’s hands off the ball. We can mix up the run and the pass and that adds a lot to an offense.” Kick off Sunday at the Apple Bowl is 1 p.m.

Young Owls learn at UBC tourney The young Kelowna Owls didn’t score a goal but managed to hold their own against the best field hockey teams in the province. At the UBC Top 8 girls high school tournament over the weekend in Vancouver, the Owls posted a 0-6-1 record, but didn’t give up more than three

goals in any one game. In their finale, KSS held Shawnigan Lake to a 0-0 tie. Shawnigan Lake went into the game vying for first place in the round robin. “Although the Owls did not win a game they did very well against the top eight teams in the province,” said Owls as-

sistant Lorne Buna. “With continued improvement they will be a force to deal with at provincials.” In their other games, Kelowna lost 1-0 to West Van, 2-0 to Collingwood, Carson Graham and South Delta, and 3-0 to Handsworth and Argyle. Owls player of the game honours went to

Nav Bahia, Katy Bolsinger, Chelsea Marshall, Savannah Gellner, Megan Johansen, Aly Weller and Madison Jarvis. KSS will leave for Victoria on Thursday for the prestigious Bridgmen Tournament where the See Field A19

Heat in Regina to prep for CIS The UBC Okanagan Heat men’s volleyball squad is headed east this weekend as they continue to tune up for their first season of competition in the Canada West University Athletic Association. Over three days of play, the Heat will face the host University of Regina Cougars, Brandon University, the University of Manitoba, Mt. Royal University and the University of Saskatchewan. “This weekend will prove to be different as we are slated to play five matches in three days,” said UBCO men’s coach Greg Poitras. “Our depth will be tested as will the mental and physical stamina of guys who are going to see the floor the most. We look forward to seeing where we stack

up against four other CIS teams this weekend.” Last weekend, the Heat’s CIS preparation continued with two matches against Trinity Western University. After losing to the Heat the previous weekend, the Spartans gained a measure of revenge Friday with a 3-1 (21-25, 22-25, 25-12, 29-31) win over UBCO. The Heat dropped the first two sets at Surrey Christian School by slim margins “On Friday we lost the first, and they really gave us the second set missing 11 of their serves,” commented Heat Coach Greg Poitras. “We did not play great volleyball until the fourth set. Our issues up that point were passing the serve and putting pres-

sure on their passers.” The Heat fared better Saturday night, but ultimately lost in five sets (2225, 25-22, 25-21, 21-25, 9-15). Despite the weekend’s outcome, Poitras is nonetheless very proud of how his team has handled the competition in the preseason thus far. “Any chance you get the opportunity to compete against the country’s best team is a good learning lesson. Our team took further steps forward in their ability to block and attack against much larger and more talented players compared to who we were up against last year.” The Heat will open the 2011-12 CIS season Oct. 28 and 29 at home to the University of Winnipeg Wesmen.

Heat women move to top of PWAA standings A pair of wins on their home pitch has pushed the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s soccer team into top spot in Group B of the Pacific Western Athletic Association standings. The Heat (4-1-1) opened the weekend with a 1-0 victory over the Capilano Blues Saturday at Nonis Field on campus. Third-year Midfielder Taylor Sarchet was the Heat’s lone goal scorer, finding the net 10 minutes into the second half. It was a quick play as fellow forward Lindsey Briggs took a shot from the right side that rebounded off the opposing keeper’s hands straight out to Sarchet. “I don’t even remember Lindsey shooting it,” said Sarchet. “I just remember seeing the ball and trying to hit it as hard as I could, trying to keep it down so it didn’t go over the net. (Capilano’s goalie) is tall so we really needed to focus on keeping the ball low today.” Despite continued rain and a slippery turf, many of the players reveled in the wetter conditions. “We have a lot of players from the Vancouver area who are comfortable in the rain,” said head coach Claire Paterson. “We just have to keep our feet moving more when it’s wet and slippery…the ball skips quite a bit, so we have to be prepared for that.” The Heat’s defense managed to keep the Blues at bay, and keeper Sabrina Gasparac managed to stop a last ditch effort scramble in front of the net in the dying minutes of the game.

On Sunday, the Heat completed a weekend sweep with a 3-1 win over the Vancouver Island University Mariners. The Heat came out strong with a goal in the first minute of the game as midfielder Michelle Smith was able to finish a chance after a scramble in front of the net. Fourth-year keeper Sabrina Gasparac held the opposing team back with strong support from defender Haley Carlson. In the first five minutes of the second half the Heat scored again off a penalty kick by midfielder Taylor Sarchet, The heat were awarded the PK when Emily Braun was taken down inside the box. Forward Lana Finley netted the Heat another goal late in the second half, expanding the Heat lead to 3-0. The Mariners broke the shutout late in the second half, but UBCO would hang on for its fourth win in six starts. “They all played together and realized when they were not playing as they should be and brought themselves up to bring two good wins,” said Heat coach Claire Paterson. The Heat women return to action Saturday, 1 p.m. in Kelowna when they host UNBC.

HEAT MEN

The UBC Okanagan men’s team managed one point in PacWest action last weekend, earning a 1-1 draw with Capilano Saturday. After playing through heavy rains for much of

the first half, the Heat opened the scoring in the second half when Sean Causier redirected a cross into the net in the 75th minute. Finally up one on the Blues, the Heat got another break when Capilano’s Ivan Mrdjen received a second yellow card and ejection, giving them a one-man advantage. Still, despite a few solid showings on the defensive end towards the final whistle, the Heat relinquished their lead in the first of three extra minutes when Blues forward William Wescott headed the ball over top of Heat keeper Spencer Brown. Coach Dante Zanatta was not entirely pleased with his players’ ability to keep the play under control, and attributed the problem to a lack of experience and immaturity still with the team. “When you have a very young team, learning to win is a very important thing, Zanatta said. “We’re making these crucial mistakes late in the game and it’s costing us. It’s a process. They have to learn that they have the

The Heat held their own until the Mariners scored with just five minutes remaining. “(The Mariners) are defending national champions, but our boys played really well today,” said Zanatta. When you’re

playing national champions you need to play very efficient, hopefully when we play with them again in a few weeks, we can win.” Next action for the men’s soccer team will follow the women’s game on Saturday at 3 p.m. as the Heat host the University of Northern B.C. Timberwolves at the Nonis Sports field on UBC’s Okanagan campus.

defensive play by fullbacks Desta Shaw Naka, Kari McDonald, Brooke Dudley, Chela Twack and Cedar Sherman kept the score level. Kayla Johnston narrowly missed scoring the winning goal when her shot late in the second half just eluded the far post.

Volunteerism to be recognized. The Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs have taken on a positive step to honour the memory of West Kelowna resident Stewart Tuningley, who was tragically involved recently in a motor vehicle accident while doing volunteer work. Tuningley demonstrated the importance and true spirit of volunteerism through his involvement with the West Kelowna Lions Club. So the boys and girls club has created a new initiative, called the Student Community Involvement Bursary, intended to foster community volunteerism while providing financial support to current students, our future community leaders. Applicants must be members of the boys and girls club (preferably the Westside Youth Centre), be under age 24, be pursuing a post-secondary education and have completed more than 30 hours of volunteer work.

SPORTS W STUDENT ATHLETES

Dangers of performance-enhancing drugs Clint Faught knows what he is talking about when he says the dangers of using performanceenhancing drugs are not worth the risk. He witnessed firsthand the destruction drugs such as anabolic steroids can cause and he recently brought that message to the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus. Heat student athletes were educated on the dangers of anabolic steroids as well as appearance- and performance-enhancing drugs when the Taylor Hooton Foundation presented their Hoot’s Chalk Talk educational program to campus. The Taylor Hooton Foundation has been giving multi-media presentations for the past six years on the dangers of such drugs, and it has been shown knowledge improves and attitudes change after students see the program. “For me, and for the

Taylor Hooton Foundation, the most important thing we can be doing is educating,” said Faught, educational program manager for the Foundation and presenter of the Hoot’s Chalk Talk at UBC Okanagan. “You can have testing, but you have to educate and let these kids understand what these drugs are, what are steroids and where do they come from —and really just try to open some eyes about what this stuff is so that they can make the right decisions about using them or not.” Faught is a former University of Texas at Arlington and Missouri Western State University varsity baseball player, as a pitcher and third baseman. He hopes to impact as many kids and athletes as possible, especially in a group such as the Heat student athletes at UBC’s Okanagan campus. Faught has experienced loss from the use

of steroids. He is passionate about the subject and hopes to instill passion and knowledge in those he presents to. “It really comes down to the whole cliche, saving a life,” says Faught.

‘‘ YOU CAN HAVE TESTING, BUT YOU HAVE TO EDUCATE. Clint Faught

“I lost my best friend’s little brother, and if one of these guys or girls was considering steroids and now they’re not and we save that person’s life— or prevent someone from needing surgery on their kidneys, liver or heart —that to me is worth the trip up here.” “I’m not much older

STUDY.WORK. S U . O .

and I can connect,” Faught said. “I was a student athlete myself so I hope that this group would listen to me more than most people. Hopefully they say. ‘You know, he probably knows a little bit about what he’s talking about.’ “When you put all this information in front of them (student athletes), it just comes back to education and not everybody is going to listen, but you hope that they will.” All UBC Heat athletes were in attendance and roars of laughter were heard throughout Faught’s presentation. “I thought this presentation was really informative, well done and interactive,” said Melissa Irish from the Heat women’s basketball team. “It showed more about both the male and female use of steroids and their effects. It was good. Definitely more fun than I thought it would be.”

IGA does the double Okanagan Over 45 men’s soccer league regular season champion IGA completed the double in 2011, taking the playoff title last weekend with a shoot-out victory over North Country Appraisals Kickers. IGA had a 1-0 half time lead on a scramble after a corner kick. The ball bounced around in the North Country box before Tony Gonzalez kicked it in past goaltender Martin Vincze

and a couple of North Country defenders. The game appeared to be heading towards a 1-0 IGA victory but North Country evened the score with about five minutes to play. Greg Bevandick headed in a nice cross from Randy Bohem to tie it at 1. Shortly after, Fritz Berenti slipped on the wet field and into the IGA goaltender The keeper had to

leave the game with an injury and Berenyi was given a red card by the referee. That would prove costly to North Country as Berenyi was unable to participate in the shootout which went to eight shooters. North Country twice had the chance to win the shoot out but failed to beat keeper Scott Seiben. It was a well played game and a fitting end to the Over 45 season.

W COMMUNITY LIVING

Institutional living era is fading Since 2002, B.C. has celebrated Community Living Month, but how many people really know what “community living” is all about? There was a time not so long ago in this province’s history when individuals who had developmental and/or intellectual disabilities were labeled and placed in institutions, or segregated schools or workplaces, where they had few rights and were often subjected to physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Some causes of developmental disabilities include autism spectrum disorder, Down’s Syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, cerebral palsy, genetic and chromosomal disorders and brain injury. The “community living movement” in North America started during the late 1960s, thanks largely to the work of families who wanted a better life for their sons and daughters who were living in institutions. Advocates of the community living movement argued that people with disabilities—including those with a developmental disability— are citizens who have the right to fully participate in community life, regardless of the degree of their disability. They argued that with the right community services and supports,

people with a developmental disability can live and participate in their own communities just like everyone else. At the same time, people with a developmental disability also began to advocate for their own rights to live as full citizens. The movement to close institutions in B.C. and move people back to community started in the early 1980s, when smaller group homes began to replace institutions. In 1996, B.C. became the first province in Canada to close all its large institutions for people with developmental disabilities. By the mid-1990s, the option of home sharing began to evolve, which is a residential option in which an adult with a developmental disability shares a home with someone who is contracted to provide ongoing support. There are now approximately 2,700 individuals in B.C. who live in home share arrangements. Today, self-advocates and organizations involved in community living continue to petition for residential and employment options, income security, and inclusive education for individuals with developmental or intellectual disabilities. \ They work to highlight the “DiversAbilities” and positive contribu-

tions which these individuals bring to our communities; to dispel myths in order to reduce stigma and discrimination; and to continually improve and enrich the lives of individuals, their families and caregivers. During October, the wide range of programs and services available in our community to people with developmental disabilities will be presented through news articles, events and open houses. The community is encouraged to participate and see how far we have come, and hear about our hopes and dreams for a better future in a truly inclusive community. Community Living Month events include: • Oct. 6—3 to 5 p.m., John Howard Society Open House “One Cup at a Time,”1440 St. Paul St. • Oct 7—11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., Kelowna & District Society for Community Living BBQ Hot Lunch, 555 Fuller Ave. • Oct 18—CMHA Ride Don’t Hide • Oct. 20 – 3 to 6 p.m., Community Connections Open House, 275 Rutland Road N.

NEWS W GARDENING

Saddened by the loss of a former teacher and mentor I ’ve written before about the importance of teachers and mentors in my life from elementary school to high school and beyond. I am fortunate to enjoy continued relations with many of them in my adult life because of my exposure to the public with both my family business and my subsequent consulting business. So I was saddened to read the passing of my first male teacher and the

FROM THE GROUND UP

Don Burnett last of my elementary teachers before graduating to junior high in 1963. Ron Haskins was my Grade 6 teacher at Raymer Elementary and it was a novelty back then

to have a man heading up the class. We learned about batteries and the principles of wiring in series and parallel; something I still remember as if it were yesterday. I remember him as well when I was being reprimanded for something, and of course I can’t remember what the reason was because I was such a good little boy. I do remember, however, the word “attitude”

was top of mind for a few days and I think I was better for it. Ron, as he insisted I call him when we reconnected in my young adult life, became a friend as has been the case with many of my former teachers. In fact, I was honoured to council him as time went on with all things gardening and he in turn restored a couple of antique wooden carpentry levels for me.

I am very sad to think I won’t be having Mr. Haskins in my life anymore and I’m sure there are many who feel the same. *** Fall has officially arrived in the Okanagan, and that means it’s time to gradually get the garden in shape for winter so spring gardening can be enjoyed without as much physical work. I say gradually because if you wait until

the last minute when the weather forecast calls for freezing temperatures and perhaps the first snowfall, it can be a real scramble. Make a check list of things and set deadlines when they should be done. Consider the following on your list: • Aerating and top dressing the lawn • Winterizing the rose bushes • Planting some fall bulbs • Cleaning up the annual beds • lowing out the sprinklers • Separating perennials • Some fall weeding • Turning the vegetable garden • Stowing away patio furniture • Checking the yard for tools to be maintained and stored away *** What a great program the local governments put together to have our garden “waste” picked up regularly during the growing season. Notice I put quotation marks around the word waste, because it is not

wasted at all. It goes to produce those wonderful products Ogogro and Glenmore Grow that we can use on our gardens all year long. Some gardeners do still love to compost, however, and kudos to them. Remember in nature all the leaves, twigs, grass and other organic debris is recycled back to the earth to replenish and nurture. It’s only we humans that feel it is necessary to discard all of this to keep our yards neat and tidy. *** Mark your calendar for Saturday, Oct. 22. I am putting on a two-hour session on the 10 best ways to kill houseplants, sponsored by the City of Kelowna to be held at the Mission Activity Centre at Sarsons Beach on Hobson Road. To register you can go to the City of Kelowna website or call 250 469-8798. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 News Talk Sports Saturday mornings from 8 to 10 a.m.

West Kelowna nursery wins global honour Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

It may be tough for Bylands Nurseries Ltd. to find room to grow after earning one of the highest achievements a nursery can receive. Last week, the West Kelowna business was awarded the third annual AIPH (International Association of Horticultural Producers) Grower of the Year Award. The prize was given at the 63rd annual AIPH Congress, held in Xi’an, China. Bylands is the first Canadian nursery to ever enter the illustrious competition. “It’s a tremendous honour and a surprise for us,” said Mike Byland, sales manager for Bylands. “We were pretty confident but it was the first year that Canada was able to enter a submission. Because we were first, we weren’t sure how it was going to go.” The awards rated growers in five categories: Economic performance and marketplace position,

innovation in production and growing techniques, market orientation and company image, environmental standards and human resource policies. “We had to submit a pretty comprehensive booklet that explained these things,” Byland said. “There was a six-person panel and they asked for a specific amount of pictures to back up our information. We also had to have resources available and everything like that.” Of all the entries, the panel narrowed it down to six finalists who were invited to attend the event in Xi’an. “At the ceremony they gave awards to the bottom three and then there was the gold, silver and bronze medals. We were awarded the gold,” Byland said. The last year has been kind to Bylands—the Grower of the Year Award isn’t the only hardware lining their trophy case. “In the past 12 months we’ve been really fortunate. We won the first ever BCLNA (B.C. Landscape

Civic election nomination window now open The District of West Kelowna is now accepting nomination packages for the positions of mayor, councillor and school trustee. The period for submissions began on Tuesday at 9 a.m. Candidates have until 4 p.m. on Oct. 14 to drop off their nomination packages at Municipal Hall. Those who have yet to pick up a nomination package can still do so as well. As of Wednesday morning, incumbent councilor David Knowles was the only candidate who had submitted his nomination papers. In total, two mayor, 17 councillor and six school trustee nomination packages have been picked up from Municipal Hall. The chief elections officer will declare the official list of candidates in council chambers on Oct. 14.

everybody is committed to providing the best quality plant that they can. One of the most important things about us is our environmental initiatives. In 2000, we won the first ever environmental stewardship award in B.C.” The experience of receiving the award in China is one that Byland won’t quickly forget.

“It was fascinating seeing how they grow things over there and also getting to meet a lot of international growers. It was a really interesting trip.” Byland said that the event was well covered by the media and was attended by various prominent Chinese ministers. The other five finalists included growers from

Belgium, China, Chinese Tapai, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Byland said that, in terms of growing methods, the competition was diverse. “The great thing about the award is that it’s not specific just for a type of plant or anything like that. If you grow a live plant, you can enter the awards. The company from Hol-

land actually grows indoor plants; we don’t do any indoor plants, we grow landscape plants for people’s yards.” Judges of the competition said they selected Bylands because of their strong financial position and ability to play a leading role in innovation in Canada. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

matter have absolutely no relevance to your injuries or to the losses you sustain as a result of those injuries, then those excerpts can be blacked out. Unfortunately, all too often those victimized by car crash injuries are further victimized by the psychological effects of those injuries. It is not hard to imagine how depression might arise from chronic pain, for example. If depression or other psychological impacts of crash injuries, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, become issues in your case, other life circumstances that might impact on your psychological health become relevant. Those intensely personal consultations with your doctor or psychologist that would otherwise have no relevance to an injury claim all of a sudden take on meaning in the context of your case. For example, the insurance company is entitled to investigate and

obtain medical opinions about whether or not you would have developed depression anyway, even if the injuries had not occurred, because of all the other psychological stressors in your life. If the depth of the insurance company’s probing into your clinical history is not restricted, there is another restriction that should protect against intensely personal information in your medical history from becoming public. The law imposes a very strict confidentiality over documents and information produced within a lawsuit. In legal circles, that confidentiality is called “litigation privilege.” That “privilege” prohibits the insurance company from sharing any such documentation and information outside of the lawsuit. Of course, if you end up having to use a trial to force the insurance company to pay fair dollars, sensitive documentation

WESTSIDE W UBCM

Conference valued by council Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

From Sept. 26 to 30, District of West Kelowna mayor and members of council attended the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, held in Vancouver. Throughout the convention, they had the opportunity to sit down with seven various provincial government representatives. “I find that the UBCM is a very valuable exercise for government officials. The most valuable part of it is that you can sit down, in a couple of days, with, in our case, seven different ministers or agencies,” said Mayor Doug Findlater. “They’re all right there, ready, willing and able to meet you, even if it’s only for a short period of time. But a lot of work gets done.” First, Findlater and council 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. Polak assured the district that it would be kept informed regarding ongoing discussions on nontreaty matters and that a UBCM Memorandum of Understanding related to consultation with municipalities on non-treaty matters will be expanded. Next, DWK representatives spoke with Steve Thomson, minister of forests, lands and natural resources, about the district’s interest in securing Crown land for municipal purposes and obtaining support from the province for its forest fuel mitiga-

Thomson advised the district that its crown land requests remain subject to First Nation consultation, but he said that he will follow up and get back to the district on the status of the requests. West Kelowna mayor and council then sat down with Pat Bell, minister of jobs, tourism and innovation, and discussed the B.C. Jobs Plan that was recently revealed by the province, which may provide avenues of support that West Kelowna can access. Bell encouraged the DWK to review how they might fit into some of the new provincial initiatives. Shirley Bond, minister of public safety and solicitor general, was next to sit down with West Kelowna representatives. The district was focused on discussing its interest in province-wide regulations, which will help prevent metal theft. Bond agreed that the metal theft problem has reached a level that requires provincial action.

She indicated she was going to act on the municipalities’ request and investigate legal ways to curtail the sale of stolen wire and metal. The minister of health, Michael de Jong, chatted with mayor and council about West Kelowna’s interest in establishing an urgent care facility, noting that in eight weeks, his ministry will publish its capital spending priorities ist. DWK representatives then spoke with Ida Chong, minister of community, sport and cultural development, about about the need for Crown land grants to support the community’s vision as developed in the Official Community Plan. Chong said she would look into the district’s current Crown land applications. Finally, West Kelowna mayor and council spoke with representatives from BC Hydro about progress made towards establishing a second electrical transmission line to the district. Currently, only a single transmission line provides power to the Westbank station, which pro-

vides service to West Kelowna and Westbank First Nation. Officials with BC Hydro indicated that preliminary work has been done, with a big picture analysis of where a second line would go, but much work still needs to be done including detailed costing and First Nation consultation. Findlater said another benefit of the convention is that there is a value in hearing the issues that other municipalities within the province face. “We were right there when minister Bond made the announcement about the breakdown in the RCMP contract talks. Just getting a sense of how everyone felt about that was very important.” Findlater also chatted informally with Blair Lekstrom, minister of transportation and infrastructure, with regards to speaking to DWK council about the land swap between the province and Westbank First Nation. “Basically he is trying to find a date when he can come.

Lavigne touches on her own heart for inspiration AVRIL LAVIGNE says her latest album, Goodbye Lullaby, is her most emotionally raw and vulnerable songwriting effort of her career. CONTRIBUTED

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Avril Lavigne likes the Mission Hill Family Estate Winery, describes the record company she just dumped as a “pain in my butt” and believes her latest album showcases the singer/ songwriter side of her talent. Or so said the now 27-year-old punk-turned-pop queen in interview to tease her upcoming show at Prospera Place on Saturday, Oct. 8. Wrapping up her worldwide tour for her fourth album, Goodbye Lullaby, in Canada over the course of the next month, the 10-year industry veteran did a quick media circuit via telephone interview after her Vancouver show this week, plugging the latest album as her most open, honest work. “A lot of my girlfriends cried when they heard the songs. I had never had that happen before,” she said.

Describing the work as less aggressive, less pop, less rock and more emotion, Lavigne said the image changes she’s seen are really just a natural progression and reflect the way she’s feeling at the time. “It’s about the vocal performance. It’s very honest. Raw. Vulnerable,” she said. It was also a source of conflict. Asked if she would change anything about the recording, she was honest—if only for a moment—before slipping toward a more cagey and evasive tone.

Creative differences with her former label, RCA Records, which she described as a “pain in my butt,” forced her to dump the label, she said. She’s now signed with L.A. Reid on Epic Label Group. Reid was the first to sign her on her original label and is credited with building the careers of Mariah Carey, Pink and Justin Bieber, to name a few. Lavigne, for her part, may be known for her lightweight pop, but she’s packed a pretty heavy punch in sales. Among her achievements she can claim to be the youngest female

solo artist to achieve a number one record in the United Kingdom with her first album Let Go, certified fourtimes platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Growing up in small-town Ontario, she was somewhat discovered after winning a radio contest to sing with Shania Twain on stage. Many things have changed since then, not the least of which has been her online presence, which she said can be fun in that she’s able to look back on images of herself growing up in the public eye with the click of

a mouse. She’s also able to keep a running commentary with fans via Twitter and recent tweets appear to show she’s been having some of those emotional days that the album is built on of late. After a security breach last week in London, she was late for a show and took her apologies to the fans with Tweets thanking them for their understanding and support in her time of need. Formerly married to Sum 41 front man Derek Whibley, who produced her latest record, she is now said to be dating Brody Jenner, stepbrother of the Kardashian girls and MTV’s The Hills star. Lavigne added she will be spending Thanksgiving in Kelowna with her mother.

ENTERTAINMENT W CD REVIEWS

Co-singers help liven up Bennett’s latest duet release TONY BENNETT; DUETS II [COLUMBIA]

Tony Bennett released his first set of duets with other superstars of the recording industry five years ago. That disc, titled Duets: An American Classic, reached No.1 in Canada but didn’t top the charts in the U.S. However, this new edition has hit numero uno in the U.S. while only the juggernaut Adele has kept Bennett out of the top spot here in the great white north. For trivia buffs, Bennett is now the oldest music maker in history to debut at the top of the charts at the age of 85. There are three reasons I can think of for this Duets II to be selling so well: Tony Bennett is a legend, there are many other music superstars from many musical genres singing duets with Bennett, and this lengthy new 17 track album has the last recorded song by the unfortunate Amy Winehouse with her moody and soulful take of Body And Soul (yes, ironies abound). The most playful song here is the opener with a typecast Lady GaGa singing a swinging take of The Lady Is A Tramp that has Bennett breaking out into laughter throughout the song. Bennett also works extremely well with fellow veteran Willie Nelson on a superb version of the old gem On The Sunny Side Of The Street. I found the version of Blue Velvet with k.d. lang to be one of the softer songs on this otherwise very strong album. The two singers play this old teen nugget far too seriously when they could have swooped the title Blue Velvet for all its kitsch glory. Bennett stretches his fan base while performing evergreens with R&B stars like Aretha Franklin and Maria Carey as well as country stars like Car-

PISTOL ANNIES; HELL ON HEELS [COLUMBIA]

This debut album from Pistol Annies came out about a month ago and seemed to disappear into the void in Canada. But this week, the album has resurrected from 194 on the album charts to number 57 now that the so-called country trio supergroup (think a distaff Travelling Wilburys)has scored a hit with the title track Hell On Heels. The Annies are Lone Star Annie (Amanda Lambert, the most high profile of the three), Holler Annie (Ashley Monroe) and Hippie Annie (Angeleena Presley). Presley and Monroe are two highly regarded songwriters, while Lambert is probably the more high profile of the three. This seemingly oneoff project came about as Lambert was working with Monroe on new material for her fourth album. When Presley came on board, the new project took on a life of its own. Most of these songs are tongue in cheek (I think) fables of white trash, southern U.S. culture with loser babes down on their luck. Hell On Heels thanks

the devil for making them pretty and smart so they can exploit the would be exploiter “sugar daddy I’m on my way,” while on the dark and moody Housewife’s Prayer the gals are washing pills down with beer. There is some semiacoustic rockabilly with Bad Example and the humorous Hunter’s Wife with clever trailer park trash lyrics that border on being insightful. Buit therein lies one of the minor problems with Hell On Heels—the humour, if it is intended as humour, has too much pathos at times and the intentions behind it are unclear. Is this supposed to be broad stereotyping or are they semi-serious at times. C+

THE KOOKS; JUNK OF THE HEART [EMI]

This is The Kooks third album and it seems to find the British group at a crossroad for success in North America. The Kooks, who take their name from a song on David Bowie’s Hunky Dory album, did quite well in Canada with their last album Konk (2008) that produced the hit Do You Wanna. But this new album hasn’t quite caught on yet. The lead song and title track, Junk Of The Heart (Happy), is a lot similar in ways to the indie pop hit of Foster The People and their song Pumped Up Kicks which took the long route to becoming a hit by slowly inching its way up the charts. The Kooks have their main songwriter in Luke Pritchard, but the band claims to be big fans of early Police, The Strokes and The Stone Roses.

You can hear that blend on several songs on this eclectic new CD. There are a dozen tracks on this disc that clocks in at 35 minutes so if you don’t like one, you don’t have to wait too long for the next song. The very youthful looking band have turned in a hit and miss album where they are unlikely to become as big of stars as they are in their native U.K., but like Foster The People, I wouldn’t count The Kooks out just quite yet C+

COUNTING CROWS; AUGUST AND EVERYTHING AFTER [EAGLE]

The full title of this concert CD includes Live At The Town Hall as the band re-recorded their 1993 multi-platinum studio album August And Everything in its entirety for a concert a few years ago. The songs are sequenced just like the studio album but most of the tunes, especially the hits, are nearly double in length from the original versions. Only the smash hit Mr. Jones keeps its original radio appeal as the other lesser hits such as A Murder Of One and Round Here both clock in at over 11 minutes as Counting Crows re-invent these songs as extended jam sessions. Last week, I mentioned the re-issue by the Spin Doctors of their 1990s hit album Pocket Full Of Kryptonite, so it looks as if this might be a recycling trend as record labels look back at the fond days of multi-million selling albums. Like The Spin Doctors, Counting Crows also enjoyed four hits off their debut back in the day

ased on a true story, 50/50 is a new film about 27year-old Adam, played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who is diagnosed with a rare, malignant tumour on his spine. The initial prognosis gives him a 50/50 chance of recovery. This prognosis gives us one of many funny lines, spoken by his friend Kyle (Seth Rogen): “It’s not that bad, if you were a casino game, you’d have the best odds.” This show is on no one’s radar screen and it should be. Only if you have been through the hell of diagnosis and treatment would you be expert enough to know if the film portrayals are accurate. For me, it was frighteningly real, while being

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen a true “slice of life” look at relationships, families, friendships, betrayal, anger, joy, and finding laugh out loud humour in the most awful of times. Another funny line said by Adam and speaking to his very inexperienced shrink (Anna Kendrick): “That’s going to make me feel more at ease? It’s like being slapped by a sea otter” (well, you had to be there). Yes, there was scene after scene of looking at the toll this awful dis-

ease and its horrific consequences, and we likely all know someone who has had to deal with this horror. Like in the film, we hope they have people around them who really care. The sound track is great, the acting was excellent—Angelica Huston, who plays Adam’s Mom is just right, but then she always is. Huston, who lost her own husband three years ago, has said she drew from that experience to play the part of Adam’s mom. The same can be said of Rogen’s performance, as he is drawing from his real-life experience of helping a friend deal with the threat of cancer, a time in both of their lives upon which the movie is based. There are a few choice

off-colour remarks and words which might offend, but they are hardly noticeable in the context of the film Go see this. It’s funny, sad, warm, joyful and most of all it shows us that the odds are just numbers, it’s the people who can help you win or lose. Five solid reels for this film that deals with a tough subject and gives us depth, laughter and a few tears…it’s life! And as if Seth Rogan did not have enough excitement in his life, this past weekend he married long-time girlfriend, writer, Lauren Miller—hope the odds are in his favour for a happy marriage. Susan Steen is a local non-profit executive and a movie buff.

ENTERTAINMENT W REAL STEEL

Movie with emotional punch B

ased upon a short story by Richard Matheson (I Am Legend), Real Steel is set in the near future where the sport of boxing has tgone high-tech. Hugh Jackman stars as a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when the sport was taken over by robots. When he hits rock bottom as a small-time promoter, he is forced to team up with his estranged son to build and train a championship contender. What sounds like a cheesy concept was actually already made into an episode of The Twilight Zone in 1963 and is already getting comparisons to the emotional impact of Rocky. Rated PG with a warning of violence, it also stars former Kelowna resident Evangeline Lilly (Lost). Directed by and starring George Clooney, The Ides of March is a politrical drama with a powerhouse cast that includes Ryan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood. It is set during the frantic last days before a heavily contested Ohio presidential primary, when an up-and-coming press secretary finds himself involved in a political scandal that threatens to upend his candidate’s shot at the presidency. Based upon the play

MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis Farragut North, which in turn was inspired by the 2004 Democratic primary campaign of Howard Dean, it is rated 14A with a warning of coarse language. If early reviews are any indication, Clooney is proving himself to be as competent a director as he is an actor and celebrity. Speaking of actors becoming directors, The Captains is a feature length documentary that gives viewers an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at one of the most durable and profitable franchises in entertainment history, and the men and women who made the Star Trek brand an international phenomenon since 1966. Written and directed by William Shatner, he interviews all of the actors who have portrayed captains in the Star Trek universe in an effort to show the effect the phenomenon has had on all of their lives. The Captains shows at the Paramount Theatre for one show only on Thursday, Oct. 13, 7 p.m. The West Kelowna Film Festival series continues tonight at 7 p.m.

Final Bumbershoot play for the season Theatre from B6 a stellar cast who are no strangers to the Kelowna stage. Quinn Bates, who has been in a number of Bumbershoot productions, plays Donny the mule. Dorothy Dalba as Nell the Cat is new to Bumbershoot, but is no stranger to the Kelowna stage. Her latest stage appearance, as the grandmother in Sins of the Mother for Theatre Kelowna, garnered a best supporting actress award at Theatre BC’s Mainstage. Gwen Plitt, who has been seen in various Bumbershoot productions plays Minnie the Dog. The villain Fritz is

played by Patricia Burns, who has been in several Kelowna productions and was last seen in Bumbershoot’s presentation of Bag Dancing. Thursday’s opening performance is pajama night, where audience members of all ages are encouraged to wear their pajamas and stay after the show to meet the characters and enjoy some milk and cookies Tickets are $19 for adults and $12 for children and are available for all performances online at www.selectyourtickets. com, in person at the Select Your Tickets box office (located at the Rotary Centre for the Arts), or by calling 250-717-5304.

with Beginners, a bittersweet comedy starring Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer. It’s a story about a man reflecting on the life and death of his father while trying to forge a new romantic relationship with a woman dealing with father issues of her own. Next week watch for The First Grader, based on the true story of a Kenyan man in his 80s who

is desperate to learn how to read and write, even at his late age. There are two chances to see it—next Wednesday, 7 p.m., with the Kelowna Film Society at the Orchard Plaza 5 and next Thursday, 7 p.m., as part of the Capitol Theatre’s Film Festival series.

THANKSGIVING AND THE NEW 9-11 This coming long weekend we will celebrate the Thanksgiving Holiday. The Act of Parliament that created the same declared that Thanksgiving Day shall be: “A day of general thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed.” In the days running up to Thanksgiving, we are often challenged to consider what we are thankful for. Usual responses include: health, family, job and the good life in Canada. We should be thankful for these blessings, especially in this time of global economic uncertainty. However, I know that there are many people in the BC community of Sparwood who are especially thankful to God this Thanksgiving weekend. Their story of thanksgiving redefined the meaning of “9-11” for that community and has redefined it for me. The morning of Wednesday, September 7th 2011, Sparwood’s Hebert family was hit by a tragedy. Under the cover of darkness, a suspect allegedly broke into the Hebert home and abducted their three year old son Kienan. This blow brought family life to a grinding halt. Moments before the abduction, the Hebert home was their castle; their strong tower of refuge, the place their children were nurtured and their family was knit together. The abduction of their son caused the Hebert family’s sense of security to implode like the New York City’s Twin Towers. This abduction caused fear, dread and insecurity to spread from the Hebert home to all the homes in the Sparwood area and to the ends of our land. It exposed the vulnerability of our children to the malevolent acts of predators. Everything changed during the predawn hours of Sunday September 11th. At that time the police had received an anonymous call that Kienan could be found in his family home. The family had been away from their home on the Saturday night and was staying with friends. The police found the boy apparently unharmed in the home. “To the person who returned Kienan to our family, I’d like to say thank you,” the boy’s father, Paul Hebert, sobbed. “It was the right thing to do. I thank God that Kienan was returned unharmed.” At a press conference that same day, RCMP Corporal Dan Moskaluk said: “To the rest of the world 9-11 means New York. 9-11 to me means Kienan Hebert.” The date that has come to be synonymous with death and destruction in one of the greatest cities of the U.S. had come to mean reunion, thanksgiving, love, joy and hope for the future in one of Canada’s small towns. As I reflected on these events, a Biblical account of abduction came to mind: the abduction of Joseph, the patriarch Jacob’s favourite son (Genesis Chapters 37 to 50.) In a fit of jealous rage, Joseph’s older brothers threw him in a pit. He was removed from the pit and taken into slavery by a band of merchant traders. When the brothers discovered Joseph’s abduction, they covered it up by lying to their father. They told Jacob that a wild animal had

killed Joseph. They produced his torn and bloodstained coat as evidence (they tore the coat and stained it the blood of an animal they slaughtered). The traders took Joseph to Egypt, where he was sold to an Egyptian official as a slave. God gave Joseph the grace to surmount the incredible obstacles he encountered as a slave in Egypt. God blessed him with the gift of administration. Everything Joseph touched turned to gold. Every family that acquired Joseph as a slave prospered as a result of his efforts. His integrity was legendary; however, it landed him in jail. He refused to have an affair with his master’s wife. In an act of spite and scorn, she had Joseph thrown in jail. God used Joseph’s incarceration to get him into the household of the supreme leader of Egypt, the Pharaoh. Joseph became the Prime Minister of Egypt, second only to Pharaoh. He saved Egypt from worldwide famine by storing surpluses during seven good years, so that the country had food during seven bad years. As a consequence of the worldwide famine, Joseph’s brothers came to Egypt to buy food. Joseph learned of their presence and eventually confronted them with his identity. When the brothers learned that Joseph had survived and now was a leader of Egypt, second only to Pharaoh, there was momentary joy. The brother that they thought was dead was alive. The news got back to Joseph’s father Jacob and he too was overjoyed. However, the brothers’ joy was brief. Their father Jacob eventually died. The brothers surmised that Joseph surely was angry with them and would want revenge. They believed they were done for and would soon be dead men. However, in the end Joseph reassured his brothers with these words. “’Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.’” (Genesis 50:1921) God had taken the evil and criminal intent of Joseph’s brothers and used it for good. God used Joseph’s slavery to put him at the center of political power so that Joseph’s family and all Egypt could be spared relief from hunger, and could survive and grow - a happy ending to a sordid historical account. I thank God that the Hebert’s tragic saga, like Joseph’s, had a happy ending. Along with Hebert family, I thank God for Kienan’s safe return. I also thank God for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the community of Sparwood, and other communities, who sprang into action and did all that they could do to secure Kienan’s safe return. I thank God that He moved the person who abducted and held Kienan to return him to his family. I thank God that the RCMP was able to make an arrest in this case. I pray that justice will be done. If Randall Hopley is guilty, I pray that he either confesses his guilt or is found guilty in a fair

trial. I pray that God uses these events that were meant to harm, to lead to good, and that Kienan, his family and the person who abducted Kienan change for the better as a result. I am inspired by the account of Joseph’s abduction to hope and pray for peace and reconciliation to take place in the lives of those intimately touched by this tragedy. It has already started. I was pleased and inspired to read in a Globe and Mail article that Kienan’s father has chosen not to hate Randall Hopley; rather, to forgive him. I pray that as a result, one day, a deep and profound reconciliation takes place. First, I hope and pray that if Randall Hopley is guilty of the abduction, that he, like Joseph’s brothers, experiences deep sorrow, contrition and remorse for the pain and suffering that he inflicted on Kienan, his family and their community. I pray that remorse and contrition drive Mr. Hopley to confess his wrongdoings and seek help with his problems. I pray that he first and foremost be driven to seek help from God. I pray that he confess his sins to God, receive forgiveness, for the sake of Jesus’ suffering and death, and receive the gift of faith. I pray that if Mr. Hopley is found guilty, he receives professional help while he is incarcerated, and that God uses the penal system to restore his sanity. I pray further that one day, in God’s timing, Mr. Hopley would be inspired to confess his guilt to the Hebert family, and Kienan in particular, and beg their forgiveness. I pray that Kienan and his family, like Joseph, would one day say to Mr. Hopley, “you intended to do harm to us, but God turned your evil intent to the good, Kienan has grown up and is a fine young man, our family grew stronger, and you have been restored to sanity and a place in society.” Then there can be profound thanksgiving offered to God. This Thanksgiving weekend, as we sit around the table with family and friends, let’s give thanks to God for our families, friends and all the blessings God has showered upon us by His grace and mercy. Let’s also pray for the Heberts and Mr. Hopley and pray that God will transform all our challenges into opportunities for praise and thanksgiving to God. Let’s pray that we all can pray: “God took what we believed was bad and turned it to our good.” In Christ, Pastor Ed

Art galleries create fun artwalk Jan Johnson CONTRIBUTOR

While last Saturday was a chilly, rainy day, it was warm, cozy and abuzz inside several downtown art galleries. Picture Perfect, Gallery 421, Hildebrand Sculpture Gallery and Turtle Island Gallery joined together to create a fun artwalk event called “Wine Tasting is an Art.” Customers enjoyed sipping wine from local wineries and artworks by featured artists at each

gallery, and they were encouraged to visit all four venues. Tracy at Picture Perfect tells me that the galleries have been doing this wonderful free event for about eight years with huge success. Why am I telling you this now? Because I want to whet your appetite for the twice-a-year event, which will be happening again in the first week of May, so mark it on your calendar now!

Okanagan Spirits specializes in spirits made from local fruit—brandies, liqueurs, aperitifs, grappas, even absinthe. Check them out at their website, okanaganspirits.com. Some exciting news from Cadence Shoes, at 523 Bernard. Bertica Ramos, who has managed the shop for the past seven years, is now the proud owner. You couldn’t have a better shopping experience than you will at Cadence, as Ramos and her staff are so friendly and

helpful. Their area of expertise is shoes with comfort but fashionable style. Ramos tells me that their customers are people from age 15 to 90s, who need a little support and orthotic-friendly footwear but want to look fashionable and even a little funky. The store’s top lines are El Naturalista from Spain (for which they’re exclusive retailers in Kelowna), Naot, Ecco and Keen. Check them out, your feet will be so happy! Longtime downtown retailer Rosemary Gottschlag, of Ten Fashions, will host a fashion show at Sparkling Hills Resort on Oct. 16, from 2 to 5 p.m. Called “The Crystal Wedding Fashion Show,” it will feature the debut performance of the Cantabile Choir, a dove release and lots of incredible prizes. Contact Ten Fashions for more info on this enchanting afternoon event. I have to tell you about an upcoming downtown show that sounds intriguing. Burlesque to Broadway, starring Quinn Lemley, will be playing at the Kelowna Community Theatre from Nov. 1 to 5. This is something unique that hasn’t been seen in Kelowna before, and should be a real Broadway experience— oooh la la! Until next month, be sure to get out there and kick up your heels—in downtown Kelowna of course! Jan Johnson has coowned Tigerlily Fashions downtown for 24 years. If you have any news about downtown shop openings and/or events, email tigerlilyfashion@shaw.ca.

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Jack Thomas Whiting on September 28th, 2011 in Chilliwack, BC. He was born in Vancouver on April 17th, 1956, pre-deceased by his parents Elsie and Frank Whiting. Jack spent his childhood years in Vancouver and New Westminster and started his carpentry/lathing career in Fort McMurray & Edmonton, Alberta. After work on the oilsands projects and West Edmonton Mall he was happy to return to BC to work on the high rises in Vancouver and in Kelowna and the lower mainland. Jack enjoyed the adventure of being outside with nature and walking with God. Several years ago, he and his daughter, Alicia loved caring for his grandmother in Campbell River. He will always be remembered by his sense of humor and his love and caring for family and friends. But, somehow, depression took over and he took his life. He is survived by his daughter, Alicia; grand-daughter, Carrie Rose; common-law wife, Wendy; sisters, Belle and Brenda; brothers, Reg and Bill and many friends.

1918 – 2011 On September 25, 2011, Karoline Irene Steiger of Kelowna passed away peacefully at the Village of Mill Creek nursing home, with family by her side. Karoline was 93 years of age. Predeceased by her husband, Julius, in 2010, Karoline is survived by her children Erika (Egon) Stotz, Julius (Donna) Steiger, Christine (Wayne) Beerling, Horst (Sherry) Steiger and Dennis (Lynda) Steiger, her grandchildren Rolfe, Gloria, Elizabeth, Peter, Deborah, Kathy, Mike, Rick and Christine, and their spouses, as well as many great and great-great grandchildren. Karoline was born in Oedenburg, Austria on July 29, 1918. She married Julius in 1939 and they were together for 71 years. After the war they settled in Germany where they raised 4 children. In 1957 the family moved to Canada. Life was not always easy for the new immigrants, but Karoline and Julius worked hard to provide for the family, including their youngest son Dennis who was born in Canada. The family settled in Kelowna, but later moved to Whitehorse where they lived for many years before ﬁnally making Kelowna their home again. The greatest love of Karoline’s life was always her family. She was a devoted and caring wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother who will be dearly missed. A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on October 8th, 2011 at the Village of Mill Creek. The family wishes to express their gratitude to the loving and caring staff at Mill Creek.
