Hockeyville contest campaign launched Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

West Kelowna is officially in the race to become CBC Kraft Hockeyville in 2012.

A community initiative was launched Wednesday in West Kelowna as hundreds of people gathered to support the bid to become Hockeyville, a popular contest now in its seventh year. “As soon as I heard about this my feeling was this is perfect for us,� said campaign co-chair Adam Less. “I think we are Kraft Hockeyville. We are the embodiment of what they stand for.�

West Kelowna will embark on a four-month process to try and become Kraft Hockeyville, culminating with the announcement live on Hockey Night in Canada on March 31, 2012.

Less says the hockeyville movement is perfect for West Kelowna. “We have a brand new community, we are just starting to create our own identity and we’ve been through a lot in the last three or four years,� he said. “Hockeyville really embodies the whole idea of the spirit and soul of a community and for us there is nothing I can think of that will bring our community together better than Kraft Hockeyville.�

ity’s chance to win the Stanley Cup. It’s something that is incredible. “The best part about it is no one is a stranger when this is over.

After three days of uncertainty, delays and frustration, two lanes of traffic—in each direction— are now open under the Westside Road overpass.

The lanes were reopened Wednesday morning to accommodate commuters.

On Tuesday, Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure, Blair Lekstrom, visited the site. He said he was “concerned� about the incident. “I don’t think anger is the feeling I have.

(I’m) certainly concerned for the travelling public, knowing what they’ve gone through. There was a lot of inconvenience,� said Lekstrom.

That inconvenience translated into delays of up to four hours for commuters on Monday evening. Lekstrom restated that the taxpayers will not “be on the hook� for the overpass failure. “The contractor is responsible to make sure that this is put back together and meets the requirements that we put forward.

ON HAND for the announcement of West Kelowna’s Kraft Hockeyville contest campaign on Wednesday were Westbank First Nation Chief Robert Louie, the Westside Warriors mascot, Louise Looman and Mayor Doug Findlater. post them to the West Kelowna hockeyville website, www.hockeyvillewestkelowna.com.

A shortlist of three entries from every province will eventually be selected before the final community is chosen.

The winning community will receive $100,000 in arena upgrades and will host an NHL exhibition game.

Last year, Conception Bay South, Nfld., was named Hockeyville.

The only B.C. com-

munity to have won the contest is Terrace, in 2009.

NEWS ▼ HERB CAPOZZI

Larger than life figure succumbs to cancer Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s legendary Herb Capozzi succumbed in his battle with cancer Monday, but his life’s work will continue to shape B.C. culture for years to come.

“He did so many things, and I’m his biggest cheerleader, but I think he’d most like to be remembered for being a good person, and his handshake,” said Alix, his wife of 20 years, from the Kelowna home they shared.

“If he shook your hand the deal was done, and he was always very proud of that.”

Over the course of his life Capozzi, 86, closed many deals that ultimately set the gold standard for B.C.’s sporting and business community—and he did it with a well documented panache.

Arguably most well known for his dynamic personality, Capozzi was also the GM of the B.C. Lions from 1957-66 and built the team to 1964 Grey Cup champions.

The Order of B.C. recipient also co-founded

the Vancouver Whitecaps soccer franchise in 1973 and The Keg restaurant chain years later.

“You know, people haven’t really gotten into this too much…but he’s also the reason the Canucks are in B.C.,” said Alix.

“He invested in the Vancouver Canucks, because they were up for sale. A U.S. company wanted to buy them, but he stopped that and changed the course of hockey history.”

His long list of accomplishments were well known and revered by many, but Alix said it never put him off track.

“People would line up to shake his hand or talk to him but he never had a swollen head about it,” she said. “I think it was because of his upbringing.”

Born in Kelowna to a Swiss mother and an Italian father—who developed Capri Hotel and mall and founded Calona wines—Capozzi was shaped by strict Catholic parenting.

“He was brought up in the church and it was part of him,” said Alix.

“And he didn’t think a lot about what he’s done but what he could do next.”

That “what’s next” attitude is what led him out of Kelowna, and into the world.

After high school, Capozzi attended the university of Perugia in Italy, and travelled around Europe.

He documented those journeys, and sent reports back to Kelowna where they were printed in the local newspaper.

“He was a great writer,” said Alix. “He was really proud of that, too.”

Those columns laid out early adventures and a way of life foreign to many who made this valley home.

The articles were so well enjoyed that they became a staple to at least one local family that went out of their way to collect them in a book and, ultimately, return them to Capozzi decades later.

“The family would read them together when they came out on Sunday’s, they said,” recalled Alix. “He was so touched by that.”

After those travels

HERB CAPOZZI led an adventurous life that had a major impact on sports, politics, business and even

CONTRIBUTED

travel writing.

Capozzi went on to a successful career in the CFL, and was even drafted to the NFL by the New York Giants, although he never attempted to make the team down south.

It was a sky’s the limit type life, but Kelowna was never far from his heart.

“That’s why we came home 10 years ago,” said Alix, noting that they rationalized the move from Vancouver as a deci-

sion to help run the family business.

They continued living life to the fullest; among other things Capozzi embarked on an annual polar bear swim in Vancouver’s English Bay, clad in a tux and he even went sky-diving to celebrate his 86th birthday.

It’s also when he battled tongue cancer, which recently returned in the form of the fatal lung can-

cer. Through the worst, however, he didn’t lose his sense of humour.

Over the years, Capozzi had a few health scares, and when news of his latest malady would circulate to the media, his phone would start ringing off the hook.

“He loved that,” said Alix. “He would answer the calls and tell people, ‘The rumours of my death are highly exaggerated.’”

Knowing the rumours one day wouldn’t be so exaggerated, however, Herb had one last joke to make.

“He wanted me to put, ‘the rumours of my death are highly exaggerated’ on his tombstone…I haven’t decided if I will.”

Meantime, Capozzi’s funeral service will be held Saturday, Dec. 3, 2 p.m., in the St. Charles Garnier Parish.

“The suspect is described as a Caucasian man with a darker skin tone. He was described as 19 to 20 years old at the time, making him 25 to 26 today, had dark coloured eyes, possibly brown, with short dark hair.

He’s believe to be somewhere between five-foot-eight and five-foot10 and has a stocky build, though not particularly fit or muscular.

In 2005, he also had large distinct side burns and noticeably thick eyebrows, but police caution his appearance could have changed in the last

six years.

“Immediately following the homicide, this young man may have had unexplained visible scratches to his face, neck or arms,” said Moskaluk.

Police believe the suspect is a resident of the Okanagan, although it remains to be seen if he always was.

“He was a resident of the Okanagan in the spring of 2005, and he was still a resident on Halloween night of this year,” said Moskaluk.

“It is possible he lived outside of the valley for a period of time from 2005 to 2011.”

Police believe that the suspect’s family, friends or associates hold valuable information that will help

solve these crimes.

“We ask that residents of the Okanagan think back to the days just prior to Taylor’s murder on Halloween night to see if they recall some form of conflict, or personal upset on the day or days leading up to Halloween,” said Moskaluk. “This may include financial pressures, relationship pressures, job loss or other serious life stressor.”

He may have had changes to his regular routine such as missed appointments or commitments to work or school.

Budget conscious art fiends can seek out lakeside trip Annual Under 100 Show goes for broke at Lake Country Gallery.

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Sometimes it pays to go with less—particularly if you’re the one footing the bill.

Although, as the artists at the Lake Country Gal-

lery have found, simply curtailing their talents to a size of 100-inches or less, to sell for $100 or less, can be quite the challenge.

“When you try to do something in a small scale, the mind goes blank,” said Denise Patrick. “I mean,

how do you scale it down, you know?”

Normally, Patrick’s sand and wax encaustic paintings, mostly flowers and landscapes, easily fill a four-foot by fivefoot canvass. Hung in the coffee shop next door this summer, the punchy petals managed to dwarf the rustic furnishings that give the beatnik room its flavour.

And yet as one enters the busy Annual Under 100 Show, her palm-sized waterlily bounces out from the wall as though on the run from its home in an Italian fresco.

The show is designed to give as many artists as possible a chance to show their work and, at the same time, raise a little money for the gallery— profits are split 50/50 between the gallery and the artist.

“It’s been a fantastic turnout and the amount of work and the quality of the work is impressive,” said Katie Brennan, gallery curator.

“It’s really fantastic that there’s all these artists of brilliant calibre who

The show includes work from a long string of local artists, from Elke Lang to Rhonda Mueller to Vernon’s River Lewis.

Gallery volunteers hung the work by dominant colour, though Brennan did curate one feature wall.

“It was all very intuitive and, luckily, many of our volunteers are artists, so it was this very zen kind of process where we just figured out what works together,” she explained.

For those who don’t know the little gallery’s story, it’s a good one and those volunteers are also accustomed to telling the tale.

The building, adjacent to George Elliott Secondary School, was once a butcher shop and admittedly feels a little like a meat locker until the heat kicks in mid-winter.

Yet the whitewashed walls, done in donated paint, muster a uniquely homey charm when mixed with the meat-locker doors and off-kilter sizing to the room.

Cold weather heats up harvest for icewine grape growers Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Far more grape growers have decided to pick frozen grapes for producing icewine this year in the Okanagan Valley compared to past years.

And last weekend’s plunge in the temperature allowed and the first icewine grape harvesters to get an early start.

Stephen Cipes, with Summerhill Pyramid

Winery in Kelowna, says they gathered about 10 p.m. Saturday night and began picking the frozen grapes until the temperature went up above the required minimum temperature of -8 C. About 30 pickers—including regular employees, natives and neighbours—turned out and got three acres of 17 that have been saved from the regular harvest for production of icewine picked by

about 1 a.m. on Sunday, he said. “Then we stayed up until 6 a.m. and ate pizza and watched the crush and the wine (juice) drip through,� said Cipes.

This year is the first time in several years Summerhill has saved any large acreage from the regular picking for icewine, because they had a backlog of the popular premium dessert wine.

For some growers, the first icewine harvest this

year comes only days after completion of the regular grape harvest, which was very late this year.

Lindsay Kelm, of the B.C. Wine Institute, says it marks one of the earliest starts to the icewine harvest in B.C., second only to the Nov. 5 harvest in 2003.

This year, 26 wineries have said they will be picking frozen grapes for an expected 875 tons, the most ever projected for

icewine in this province.

Two other wineries also picked icewine grapes last weekend, but the B.C. Wine Authority won’t re-

Spawning numbers see increase STAFF REPORTER

The good news is the highest number ever of shore spawning Okanagan Lake kokanee returned this fall to lay their eggs before dying.

The bad news is there was the lowest return of stream spawning kokanee since the crash in kokanee populations in the big lake in the early 1990s, when only 6,000 to 7,000 were counted.

This fall, only 18,000 stream spawners returned to lay eggs, while 276,000 shore spawners flooded the shorelines around the lake, reports Paul Askey, fisheries stock assessment biologist with the ministry of forests, lands and natural resource operations in Penticton. “They’re probably almost saturating the lake,� he commented. And, they could be giving the stream spawning kokanee stiff competition for available food in the lake too.

Askey says in some parts of the lake the shore spawners are like “urban kokanee. They’ve become hard to count amongst the docks jutting out into the lake,� he commented.

However, the size of the shore spawners is small. Most are around 23 centimetres in length, so they make great rainbow trout feed, but they’re not much sought-after by anglers. On the other hand, the stream spawners range in size, but average about 26 centimetres. Some can be 50 centimetres and lots are longer than 30, so they’re much more attractive to anglers.

He figures they range in age from three to five years, while the shore spawners are two or three.

With that number of kokanee in the lake, Askey is satisfied that the lake is doing well sustaining them, a concern that re-

sulted in creation of a 20year action plan in 1995 to work on bringing their numbers back up again.

One of the factors cited in the studies done as a result of that plan was the introduction of mysis shrimp in 1965, as feed for rainbow trout.

It was found instead that the introduced crustacean actually out-competed young kokanee for feed in the lake. “Mysis definitely knocked back the lake’s productivity, but they do show up in kokanee bellies,� commented Askey.

He wonders if kokanee are beginning to learn how to use them in

their diet, now that their numbers are back up.

The numbers emerging from the spawning channel constructed in 1988 in Mission Creek, in the regional park off Springfield Road, are 36 per cent of the creek’s total numbers, while in 2010 they represented 42 per cent and in 2009 46 per cent. In 1992, the channel averaged 30 per cent of the creek’s returns.

However, in 1991, more than 94,000 kokanee returned to Mission Creek, while this year the total was a tenth of that, just 9,000. However, in 1998, only 1,000 were counted.

Although Mission Creek contributes the largest numbers of kokanee stream spawners into Okanagan Lake, numbers have also been low in other streams this fall, with 2,000 each counted in Peachland and Penticton Creeks, 1,200 in Powers Creek, and 600 in Trepanier Creek.

Although a decision hasn’t yet been made, Askey expects a summer kokanee fishery will be opened again in 2012 on Okanagan Lake.

A ban on fishing for kokanee was instituted in 1995 because of the crash in their numbers.

icewine harvest will begin once temperatures plunge again, likely next month, commented Kelm. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Repairs will proceed Traffic from A1 “Our staff have (spoken to Ledcor).

They’re a world class organization; they do jobs all around the globe. They’re certainly looking forward to find out what’s gone wrong here as well.”

Lekstrom said that shoring will be going up on both sides of the structure and that the retaining wall beside the northbound lanes of traffic will be taken down and checked “to ensure the safety and integrity of that wall is intact.”

“We’ll get the shoring in place, then we’ll go in and look at those panels, pull those panels off and ensure we can find out what’s gone on, on that side as well,” Lekstrom said.

When asked whether or not $41 million was enough money to do the project effectively, Lekstrom responded: “Most definitely. The amount of money that was budget-

Kevin Baskin, chief bridge engineer with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, said that the overpass itself will not be opened up until permanent repairs have been done, which will take “weeks.”

“It looks like the solution is to use shotcrete to build out a new facing system. The shotcrete would be the first layer— it’s sprayed-on concrete on the locations where the facing panels have dislodged,” said Baskin.

“We’ll be building

out the new facing with a combination of shotcrete, infill concrete and new facing panels.”

On Wednesday morning, at a press conference announcing West Kelowna’s participation in the Kraft Hockeyville competition, WFN Chief Robert Louie was asked about financing that WFN has received as part of the project to build the Westside Road Interchange.

“We have an agreement with the province that covers our cost and so forth. I don’t know exactly what (that) is off the top,” said Louie. “When

you administer a project of this size, it takes a huge amount of staff time, financing, reviews and audits and that sort of thing, so we are responsible for all of that.”

Louie was asked what sort of expertise the WFN has to run a project like this. “Our expertise is (that) we’ve administered WFN land; we do it very effectively…We bring that background of knowledge and confidence to projects such as this.

Beating death trial moved to Vancouver Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The seven men accused of teaming up and beating to death Kelowna father Dain Phillips had their trial moved to Vancouver.

Hells Angels members Robert Thomas and Norm Cocks, in addition to five others, appeared in a high security Vancouver Law Court Monday for a first appearance on a seconddegree murder charge.

Thomas and Cocks have remained in custody since their arrest last summer, while Cocks’s fath-

er and HA puppet gang member Robert, as well as Daniel and Matthew McRae, Thomas Vaughan and Anson Schell are out on bail.

Although most of the men charged with second degree murder relating to Phillips June. 12 beating are based out of Kelowna, and there’s a high level of local interest in the matter, Crown counsel thought it would be dealt with most effectively in a larger centre.

“Crown’s view was that it was a situation in which the case was more appropriately dealt with

in Vancouver given the scale of the case,” Crown spokesman Neil MacKenzie.

Given the number of counsel and the number of accused in the case, MacKenzie said that the forthcoming trial would have tapped out the resources of the local courthouse.

Although most cases proceed in the location where the offence is alleged to have been committed, MacKenzie said it’s not unheard of for a trial to be moved for similar reasons.

The seven accused will

be back in court Dec. 19, but their actual trial won’t likely start until January 2013. The timeline for the case to go to court will likely be a bit quicker being as Crown decided to proceed by way of direct indictment.

MacKenzie explained that means there won’t be a preliminary inquiry to decide whether there’s enough evidence to proceed.

There is a ban on publication of evidence and submissions in the case.

Police search for murder suspect Murder from A3 may have observed noticeable changes in mood on or around Halloween night, and he may have made a sudden, unplanned or unexplained departure from the area shortly after the Armstrong murder.

Police believe the individual may be financially dependent on others or collecting social assistance.

Anybody with any information is asked to call the random tip line set up for the Van Diest homicide at 1-888-6884264 or, if you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Moskaluk said police have not heard

again from someone who wrote a letter to the Armstrong detachment claiming responsibility for the Van Diest homicide, and threatening more violence against women.

Police again urge North and Central Okanagan residents to remain vigilant and continue to take extra personal safety precautions when they are out in the community.

Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper said there’s still worry in his community.

“It could be one of our own, this guy could live in Armstrong, I don’t know that,” said Pieper. “Everybody will look at the (composite) picture and hopefully somebody will recognize him somewhere along the line.”

Liberal plan worthy of consideration

T

he federal Liberals have come up with a much better way to deal with the inequality of various regions of Canada in the House of Commons.

Rather than expand the Commons by 30 seats, the federal Liberals have come up with a much better way to deal with the inequality of various regions of Canada in the House of Commons.

Rather than expand the Commons by 30 seats, the Liberals suggest continuing with the cur-

rent 308 seats, but taking seats away from Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.

Nine seats would then go to the three fast-growing provinces of Ontario, B.C. and Alberta, and the overall representation from most provinces would be closer to true reprentation by population.

The Conservative government wants to add 30 Commons seats, stating that past court rulings and other constitutional requirements prevent anything but

an expansion of the House of Commons. But how many MPs do we need in Canada? The current number of 308 is more than adequate.

The only issue that needs resolving is ensuring that voters in some provinces are more fairly represented than they are now.

At a time of economic challenges, it seems the height of folly to add another 30 MPs to the House of Commons. There is simply no need for them.

In addition to the annual cost of as much as $18 million, tax-

payers would also be on the hook for their benefits, including a lucrative pension scheme.

The Liberals deserve credit for the bravery of stating that Quebec can lose seats. Considering that the two MPs to speak about this issue for the Liberals, Marc Garneau and Stephane Dion, are both Quebec MPs, this is quite remarkable.

The Liberal proposal places more MPs in growing regions, and ensures voters are more fairly represented. It is worth examining in more detail.

Chilly climate for B.C. to incorporate carbon reduction plan

B

.C.’s carbon emission trading plan died last week at the age of four. No service was announced.

The end came as the B.C. capital hosted politicians from neighbouring U.S. states and western provinces for their annual economic conference.

Washington, Oregon, Montana, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico followed through with plans to withdraw from the Western Climate Initiative, leaving California, B.C., and theoretically Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec to come up with a trading system to put

further costs on greenhouse gas emissions.

Fossil fuel kingpins Alberta and Saskatchewan wanted nothing to do with the WCI from the beginTom ning, when it set a goal Fletcher of 15-per-cent reduction in emissions by 2020.

This leaves B.C. as the only jurisdiction in North America with a carbon tax, and an emission reduction target twice as ambitious—33 per cent by 2020. Because of that tax, all B.C.’s border states and provinces have an economic advantage for emitting industries. And with natural

VICTORIA VIEWS

gas development booming and population growing, B.C.’s emissions continue upward.

Industry representatives gave the legislature finance committee the view from ground level. Take farming. “None of our competitors have a carbon tax,” Garnet Etsell of the B.C. Agriculture Council told the committee’s Chilliwack hearing. “This has cost us, to date, with the last increase, $45 million a year. With the increase that’s anticipated in 2012, that’ll be $65 million. Keep in mind that the agriculture industry last year had a cumulative net loss of $80 million.”

B.C.’s biggest greenhouse gas emitters are the petroleum and cement manufacturing industries. They only

pay the tax on fuel while significant process emissions are tax-exempt.

But even that is stimulating demand for cement imported from outside B.C., This not only hurts domestic producers, it adds emissions via trucking or rail shipping.

Then there is B.C.’s “carbon neutral public sector,” where provincial and local governments are forced to buy carbon offsets. The Pacific Carbon Trust then funds emission-reduction projects for big emitters such as gas plants in the northeast.

So five years on, that’s the upshot of Gordon Campbell’s lofty goal to lead the world in climate action.

We’re hurting our own agriculture and manufacturing, and transferring

scarce funds from hospitals, senior care homes and schools to subsidize profitable energy corporations. And emissions are still rising.

Does this mean B.C.’s climate strategy is dead? No. Delegates from U.S. states and Alberta gathered in front of the legislature to kick the tires on B.C.’s newest weapon, natural gaspowered vehicles. Garbage trucks, school buses and milk truck fleets have switched from diesel to natural gas. They’re saving 50 per cent on fuel bills. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom says natural gas is being considered for BC Ferries, the largest public-sector emissions source of all, which is exempt from the carbon neutrality rule.

Not out of pocket? Are you kidding?

To the editor: I take umbrage with the CHBC-TV newscast Monday night when the newscaster said that the taxpayers would not be out of pocket for the situation at the new Westside Road overpass because it’s still under warranty.

Does anyone realize just how much this has disrupted all of our lives on the Westside?

How much it’s costing? How much gasoline we burn in two or three hours waiting to cross each way?

Not to mention the other economic damage its doing to our economy not just local, but province-wide. (Sorry, Christy, I can’t make an argument for it having an impact on China,

which is getting far more of your attention than our plight in the Central Okanagan! Are you aware of it?)

Traffic has been backed up for two and three hours!

That this happened within three weeks of the official opening is scandalous and demands a full provincial investigation.

Maybe I missed them, but I neither saw nor heard immediately on the scene from anyone in the Transportation Ministry, my local MLA, our local MP, our local mayor—where are the folks who are being paid and ought to be at the forefront of any catastrophe—and this is a catastrophe. (Thankfully, there was

How many more years will we have to wait to get out of traffic chaos? The underpass at Nancee Way is superfluous to the new overpass just down the road, and yet that construction is about to start and we’ll have another year of turmoil.

I think, like most folks living with this “inconvenience,” we’re fed up with being taken for granted by all levels of government who seem to think that we’ll continue to just accept the fact that we don’t seem to matter.

Westside interchange questions unanswered To the editor: While we are pumping millions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere waiting to navigate our way through the new Westside Interchange, we have ample time to entertain a few basic questions: Why is the Ledcor contract to build this

interchange with the Westbank First Nations (WFN) and not the B.C. government?

The WFN supplied the land the interchange is sitting on, but who owns it, the B.C. government, or the WFN? Does the B.C. government have title or is the interchange sitting on a 99-year lease?

And who did the government give $41 million as payment for the interchange?

The Ledcor contract was $12.9 million— who received the rest, and for what?

Gordon Campbell could answer all those questions, but where is he?

OK interchange deal once billboards come down To the editor: First I would like to congratulate Chief Louie for his negotiating skills and the terrific deal he made for Westbank First Nations. It has to be one of the best deals he has ever made and I find it almost

humorous.

I would like to say to the government employee that negotiated the swap of 698 acres for eight acres— you are an idiot.

But what is done is done and it would be wrong to go back on the

agreement.

Let’s look at the upside for all of the people who are not members of WFN. Once this deal is signed I expect and demand that all of the billboards between Boucherie Road and the bridge

be removed immediately.

Yes, I mean even the ones off the eight-acre right-ofway.

There are strata laws in B.C. that prevent anyone from erecting a sign or an object that blocks his neighbor’s view. So now

To the editor: More than 400 people in Kelowna are either living on the street or at a shelter. With a town with so much wealth how do people of all ages go cold and hungry? Globally, Kelowna ranked as the 38th most “severely unaffordable city.”

Some might say the obvious answer would be for the homeless to go get a job or use the resources that our taxes pay for.

However, people should consider what it takes to simply get a job—not only a nice outfit and a

complete resume. There needs to be a phone number where the employer can contact you or a place to shower, not to mention getting a full night’s sleep, safely.

I am a recovering addict and while in my addiction I was homeless.

There were a few resources that were lifesaving.

One was The Drop-in Centre (which is closed due to funding). Not only did they provide free clothes, a warm breakfast and lunch, but the staff truly cared about every person no matter what

their situation was.

When I was on the street I depended on the Drop-in not only for the shower and fresh clothes but for the feel of safety. The staff always kept track of all the homeless, and when I was going through some traumatic times they would come and find me to make sure I was alright.

The other one was the Gospel Mission which is now one of the only resources for the homeless.

In fact, over the past 10 years the number of meals served there has gone up

by 88 per cent.

The Food Bank is another resource that is under strain. Vonnie Lavers, the Food Bank’s executive director, says, “With economic uncertainty, sudden illness, and unexpected life situations any one of us could find ourselves needing temporary help.”

To struggle is no one’s goal in life. Funding is needed to help organizations help build solid foundations for those who want help.

Going to the hospital and emergency department is difficult and awkward at the best of times.

STAFF REPORTER

Reading through one of poet Matt Rader’s latest works reveals a storyline so mobbed by colourful imagery the desolate space it lays bare in this province and his own family’s story has an urgent immediacy, despite the title: History.

Now teaching at Okanagan College in Salmon Arm, the writer weaves a curious tale, oscillating from past to present down a road travelled by three generations of his family —Terrace to Prince Rupert and those far off corners of B.C. we mistakenly call the North.

Rader is one of several successful writers who

Matt Rader started and ran Mosquito Press for several years on the Coast as a means of creating an entry point into the literary world.

“The ability to publish online wasn’t the same,” he said. “We were doing it mostly just to build community.”

Nevertheless, he credits the experience with

helping to launch his career, making work like his latest book, A Doctor Pedalled Her Bicycle Over the River Arno, commercially viable and worthy of a trade book.

Mosquito Press included writers like Michael V. Smith, Elizabeth Bachinsky, Chris Hutchinson, Nick Thran, Sean Horlor and Matt Hooton, and helped Rader transcend his Comox-area roots to build a circuitous life path through the university literary scene closer to the B.C. Interior towns his ancestors first called home.

Only a couple of writers Mosquito published did not go on to publish trade books, the group having built its own mar-

ket to catch larger publishers’ eyes, and his visit to the area this weeks shows the bonds still hold true.

Smith now works as a professor at UBCO and helps make the selections for the Visiting Authors Series; Rader will be the second author brought in to speak of seven.

“I will do a little bit of being a mysterious poet and little bit of talking about (the poems),” said Radar.

“Poetry is a little bit of an experience. It’s like going to a music event.

Everything can’t be explained.”

Admittedly some of the work is quite literary, such as the poem Freaks, Irregulars, Defects and Oddities, but others,

like History, paint an intriguing picture of personal odyssey in the backwoods of B.C. that many could likely relate to.

The poet walks his readers through the steps his grandfather took to escape indentured labour on a German farm and find community in British Columbia. Down a dirt road that lead to Dutch enclaves and a sense of religious home, Rader unearths a wild western landscape as far removed from European society as one might ever imagine one could find.

Matt Rader will hold a reading Thursday, Nov. 24, 7 p.m., at the Okanagan Regional Library, 1380 Ellis St., in downtown Kelowna.

Impark will trade ticket for toy donations Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Do you have an outstanding parking ticket from an Impark lot in Kelowna?

If so, you can pay it this morning (Thursday) with the donation of a toy to the Salvation Army.

The company has announced it will accept a toy in lieu of payment for

each parking violation notice if the donation is made between 7 and 11 a.m.

The toys for tickets payment plan is only for parking violations issued

by Impark.

It does not cover City of Kelowna parking tickets.

Impark senior vicepresident Julian Jones said this year the toy collection is also being done by Im-

park in Vancouver, Kamloops and Prince George, and has been done in the past in other Canadian cities such as Winnipeg, London, Ont. and Edmonton.

“In the past it has been spectacularly successful,” said Jones.

“We have been inundated with toys,” he said.

New, unused and unwrapped toys can be dropped off at the Salvation Army office at 1480 Sutherland Ave. on Thursday morning.

Donors are asked to bring their parking violation notice, statement or their licence plate number in order to have the fine waived.

To get out of paying multiple tickets, donors will have to provide multiple toys, said Jones.

He said the Salvation Army has requested puzzles, books, CDs, DVDs and gift cards, such as movie, make-up or iTunes cards. The toys will be distributed by the Salvation Army as part of its Christmas Relief effort. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

president and CEO of BC Transit.

“With their input, we will continue to make transit an effective system that meets the needs of residents throughout the Central Okanagan.”

More than one-quarter of UBC students in Kelowna used transit as their primary mode of transportation in the 2010-11 school year.

The Kelowna Regional Transit system and ridership continue to improve every year.

For details on planned enhancements, visit www. bctransit.com/transitfuture and view the Central Okanagan Transit Future Plan.

“Commitments by the city and the province of B.C. to reduce green house gas emissions by 33 per cent, coupled with the university’s commitment to sustainability, creates a tall order,” said

Doug Owram, deputy vice-chancellor and principal of UBC’s Okanagan campus.

“We would like to take this opportunity to celebrate our students who choose to take transit and contribute to the community’s sustainability goals.”

In September 2012, students at UBC Okanagan will continue to enjoy their discounted UPASS at the new price of $54 a semester ($13.50 per month), an increase of $9 a semester, or $2.25 per month.

When compared to a regular adult monthly fare, which also has a new price as a result of regular transit increases, the U-PASS costs far less at four months for the price of one.

Neighbourhood trip planning study to cost CORD $32,000 Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The Central Okanagan Regional District board agreed to allocate existing funds from the Regional Air Quality Program to launch a Neighbourhood Trip Planning pilot project.

Over $32,000 in unused funding will be utilized to help develop and test the pilot project, which is designed to reduce single occupancy vehicles and boost levels of active transportation.

Regional air quality coordinator Kate Bergen said that the city was looking for new ways to engage residents in active

transportation.

“We have programs like Bike to Work Week and Car Free Day that have worked really well to get people interested in cycling, walking and transit,” said Bergen.

“But to go further, we really needed to change our focus from just a broad community event where you can pick up some information to a more targeted approach.”

That targeted approach is community-based social marketing.

Bergen said the process involves surveying communities and finding out what is holding residents back from cycling, walking or using public transit.

She explained that the goal of the project is to find solutions that help individuals overcome any barriers that are holding them back from trying an alternative means of transportation.

“The car is convenient; almost everyone has one.

But what we found is that people who were thinking of cycling had such amazing experiences (once they tried it).

“There are so many rewards that people have told us about. We’re really hoping that kind of message can be brought to other people.”

According to Bergen, the Neighbourhood Trip Planning project was inspired by “really successful programs” in Washington State and Portland.

The early stages of the project will involve the development of the project.

Bergen is hoping that the program will be launched

by April, 2012.

“The launch is going to be a mail out to residents and from there they will be able to respond through the website or the mail.”

The pilot project will be focused in Kelowna; however, it is intended that eventually the program will be available throughout all areas of the Central Okanagan.

Mt. Bou to host fashion show Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Graduation is an expensive time of year.

Gowns, tuxedos, jewelry and photographs are only a few items on a long list of expenses to celebrate the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

With that in mind, Mount Boucherie Secondary School will host a Grad/Winter Formal Fashion Show, a fundraiser to help ease the costs of the MBSS Dry Grad 2012.

“For (graduates) to participate in Dry Grad, if we don’t do any fundraising, it would be about $250. It’s a really huge expense for parents,” said Dana Elder, chairperson for the fashion show.

“Our goal is to raise as many funds as possible so we can have a Dry Grad event where the graduates don’t even have to pay.”

The fashion show will

take place on Wednesday, Nov. 30, at 7 p.m.

Along with an evening of fashion, guests will have the opportunity to visit various grad vendors and win door prizes in what Elder describes as a “grad extravaganza.”

“We have door prizes given to us by Andres Electronics and we’ve got four season tickets up to Big White. (Many) Westside and area businesses have also donated door prizes for the fashion show.”

Various students have stepped up to the plate and offered to brave the catwalk for the event.

“We will be having 17 young men and 17 young women modeling fashions from L’amore Bridal, Black and Lee and Moores.

The jewelry will be from Fifth Avenue Jewelry and the (evening) will be MC’d by Andres Electronics,” said Elder.

The Kelowna Art Gallery satellite art wall at the Kelowna International Airport has a new exhibit.

Travellers making their way towards the departure gates can view Jim Kalnin: Pulse, on view now through May 7.

This work by the Oyama-based Kalnin reflects his love of nature and outdoor life.

Kalnin says that his own recent travels have made him increasingly aware that we all live and must manage on this one planet.

With Pulse, Kalnin wants the departing passengers and visitors to the airport to consider their journeys on this planet we live on.

Originally from Manitoba, Kalnin has resided in the Okanagan Valley for the past 30 years and worked primarily as an art instructor.

Since retiring in 2009, he has exhibited his art extensively across B.C., and has authored two books, The Spirituality of Art (co-written with his wife Lois Huey-Heck) and The Spirituality of Nature.

Don’t invalidate any post-car crash injury symptoms A

great deal of my practice concerns itself with helping individuals restore normal function and ridding them of their pain as a result of a car accident.

In Canada, there are approximately 160,000 car accidents per year.

Our local Kelowna statistics are some of the highest in the country.

So what should you do after you have suffered from a motor vehicle collision?

First and foremost, make sure that you get a proper assessment and appropriate treatment from a health provider. They will help you on your way back to recovery.

A registered massage therapist, physical therapist or doctor of chiropractic is ideal, as they are most educated on physical, anatomical and neurological responses to injury.

If your damage is severe enough you may need additional assistance from your medical doctor.

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel The first 72 hours after one has sustained a trauma are considered to be the ‘golden hours.’

It is during these first three days that appropriate intervention can minimize soft tissue swelling and any long-term dysfunction.

This should include appropriate supplementation with omega-3 essential fatty acids to reduce inflammation, vitamins C to assist in soft tissue repair in addition to a proteolytic.

It is at this time that appropriate advice towards application of heat vs. ice therapy and activity should be outlined with the patient.

One of the most important services I provide

to my patients who have recently sustained a motor vehicle injury is that of reassurance.

Patients will often come to my clinic stating that they feel somewhat confused, lacking concentration and occasional emotional moodiness ranging from agitation to depression.

Some would say that they feel as though they’re ‘in shock.’

The literature states that one can have a closed head injury with an accident with a speed as little as 13 km/h.

Your head does not have to strike any structures within the vehicle to have a head injury.

It is the violent whipping forward and backwards of the head that can cause something called a contra coup injury.

This is where the brain smashes into the cranial bone in the front and the back of your skull upon rapid acceleration and deceleration.

This, in turn, causes

Tis the season for

fun & f festivities

This is a normal response to a closed head injury. Simple tasks like recalling a phone number are very common given this injury.

If you do find that these symptoms are profound, you need to seek attention right away.

However, if these symptoms are minor and transient, rest assured that you’re not losing your mind.

This is a normal response, given the pathology that your brain has sustained.

Motor vehicle insur-

ance companies have adopted a ‘no crash-no cash’ policy.

Here, the insurance company believes that if your car is not that damaged, then neither are you.

It is well-established in literature and peer-reviewed research that this is not correct.

If you have sustained a motor vehicle collision, be careful not to invalidate your symptoms as they can grow like an untended garden where the weeds can overtake what is otherwise healthy.

tor of chiropractic in Kelowna. askdrthiel@shaw.ca

Home game cancelled, Owls end season on road Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Two days after the game was originally slated to be played in Kelowna, the KSS Owls watched their 2011 B.C. high school football season come to an emphatic end in Abbotsford.

On Monday afternoon, the hometown W.J. Mouat Hawks blanked the Owls 50-0 in the quarterfinal round of the 2011 playoffs.

The two teams were all set to do battle on Saturday afternoon on the snow-covered artificial turf field at the Capital News Centre but, according to Owls head coach Roy Anderson, the game was postponed after B.C. High School Football deemed the conditions to be too extreme to play on.

The main yard-lines and the perimeter had been cleared of snow by City of Kelowna staff, while the rest of the field remained covered.

“Somebody took a picture of the field and sent it down to the coast to high school football. There was quite a bit of snow, but it looked worse to them than it really was,” said An-

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

THE YARD LINES at the Capital News Centre were cleared for football games last weekend. Two high school games were cancelled, including the Kelowna Owls vs Mouat Hawks, while two minor games were played Sunday. derson. “We thought we should have played. They didn’t think so and cancelled it.”

One alternative was to play the game Sunday in Kamloops, but because Mouat was unprepared for an overnight stay in the Interior on Saturday, the game was eventually moved to Abbotsford for Monday afternoon.

“They were still going to beat us,” Anderson said of Mouat. “But it might have been a better game at home. Our coaches couldn’t all make it down there on Monday, some had to work so we were understaffed. All that stuff plays on your mind a little.”

Anderson said the game undoubtedly would have been played in Kelowna Saturday had

the entire field been cleaned off.

However, from the City of Kelowna’s perspective the artificial turf field needs to be properly maintained and protected from potentially harmful cleaning practices.

Sports and Facility Programs Manager Don Backmeyer said the city did what it could to ensure the field would be ready for two high school games on Saturday and two minor games on Sunday.

“The guys from parks came to us and said this is something they really wanted to do, to get those games on the field,” Backmeyer said. “So we went to the football associations and asked them if we cleaned the lines, could they play on that basis? They gave us the green light and

said they could. The two minor games, as I understand, went ahead on Sunday.”

Backmeyer said the city has to strike a balance between the needs of local teams and the long-term condition of the field.

“What we discovered in the past with snow removal is when the snow melted, the displaced crumb rubber from the turf would pile up in ridges and it took our guys a long time to redistribute that,” he said.

“We’re doing some investigation as we move forward to see what kind of equipment we can use so that potentially we can clean the fields without doing harm to them, and have games on there at any time.”

As for the Owls, the

season ended well in some regards as KSS placed three players on the provincial all-star team— Sam Davies at defensive back, defensive lineman Cole Mosychuk and offensive lineman Brett Gordon.

Meanwhile, the OwlsHawks matchup wasn’t the only postponement on Saturday.

The junior varsity playoff game, scheduled for 5 p.m. between the Mt. Boucherie Bears and Centennial Secondary was called off by the referees due to field conditions.

The game was instead played Sunday in Kamloops with the Centennial beating the Bears 20-14.

Mt. Boucherie finished the season with a 9-1 record.

Warriors acquire Quebec goalie via Grand Prairie Storm The Westside Warriors have a new man between the pipes.

Warriors head coach/GM Rylan Ferster this week announced the acquisition of Dwayne Rodrigue who was expected to start Wednesday night’s BCHL game against the Merritt Centennials.

The 20 year-old hails from St-Georges de Beauce, Quebec, and has played Junior A hock-

ey in Quebec and Alberta, as well as Major Junior hockey in the QMJHL. He was acquired by Westside from the Grande Prairie Storm in exchange for future considerations.

“We needed a fresh start,” said Warriors coach Rylan Ferster, adding that the new netminder will have the opportunity to carry a heavy workload with the Warriors.

Rodrigue joins a Warriors team that has been

lacking stability in goal, having lost nine straight games and allowing 40 goals against in that span.

Through six games this season with the Grande Prairie Storm, Rodrigue carries a 2-4 record with a 3.85 GAA and an .890 save percentage.

While he has left the team, Ferster says Steve Racine remains on club’s roster. “We certainly

want to wish him all the best,” said Ferster, adding that he is still trying to find the U.S. born netminder a place to play.

In 16 games with the Warriors Racine, 20, was 7-9 with a 3.10 goals against average and .885 save percentage.

Eighteen-year-old rookie James Leonard remains the Warriors backup.

Midget Rockets win Wickenheiser tourney The Kelowna Western Bus Lines Rockets are celebrating one of the most prestigious tournament wins in girls hockey in Western Canada.

The Rockets won the midget tier 1 division of the Hayley Wickenheiser International Women’s Hockey Festival last weekend at Burnaby 8 Rinks.

In Sunday’s finale, Kelowna clinched the gold medal with a 3-2 win over the North-Mid Island Extreme.

“It was huge for the girls because of the maturation process, they matured as a group and really came together as the weekend progressed,” said Rockets head coach Dennis Koch. “The key for the girls is to have fun and they did that, but they got down to business too.

We came a long ways and didn’t want to have a poor showing. The girls did very well.”

In the final, the Rock-

ets opened the scoring late in the first as Rachel Lobay scored on a set up from Hannah Koch and Jade Banman.

In the second, Kelowna extended its lead as Tiana Stuart tipped home Kennedy Kneller’s slapshot to make it 2-0.

Then, early in the third, player of the game Kneller scored from the points, with assists going to Stuart and Lobay to make it 3-0.

The Extreme made it interesting with a pair of third-period goals, including one in the final minute with the net empty, but the Rockets managed to hang tough for the 3-2 win and the gold medal. Kirsten Wiltshire was in goal for the victory.

“The girls really worked hard on the forecheck and the backcheck,” added Koch. “We try not to allow a lot of shots in our zone, our D played well, so it was a good

The weekend didn’t start all that well for the Rockets who, after a long day of travel, lost 6-3 to the Extreme to open the tournament on Friday.

Jade Banman, Ashley Mak, and Naomi Yamaoka scored in the loss.

But the Rockets rebounded on Saturday with a 5-3 win over the Washington Wild. Lobay scored twice, with singles

going to Stuart, Kneller and Banman.

In their third game, Kelowna played to a 1-1 draw with the Surrey Fal-

cons. Lobay scored the lone goal while Julie Humphries made several big saves to help preserve the tie, sending the Rockets to the championship game.

Other members of the tournament champs are: Cassie Strymecki, Jennifer Kenny, Lauren Carson, Mikaela Clarkson, Megan Bradford, Jasmin Sears, Sara Vicaretti and Alana Attew.

The Rockets are a young team—with the majority players under the age of 16—one that Koch says has a bright future.

“We only lose five girls at the end of this year. This bunch I have is young and

The Western Bus Lines girls will next be in Banff for a tournament, Dec. 2 to 4.

MIDGET BOYS…

SPORTS ▼ MINOR FOOTBALL

Kelowna Lions host Rams in provincial semi-final The Kelowna Lions are a step away from B.C. minor football’s biggest stage.

The Lions will host the South Delta Rams this Saturday in Kelowna, with the winner earning a berth in the provincial junior bantam final on Dec. 4.

Kick off on the Capital News Centre artificial turf is at noon.

Kelowna coach Arden Knoll, whose team has posted a 10-0 record this season, expects his team to match up well against its semifinal opponents from South Delta.

“They have a couple of big kids, their running back is a north and south runner and hits the line hard,” said Knoll. “They have one good receiver and they pass a little, but predominantly they’ll run with their big guy.”

“We have our skill

players, and I’d say we have more speed than they do,” he added. “They don’t really have any way to score quickly, so I like our chances.”

Knoll and the Lions are hoping for good field conditions on Saturday.

The forecast calls for temperatures of +4 and a mix of rain and snow.

Last Sunday, in the SIFC final, the shape of the field was a factor in a 38-6 win over the Vernon Marauders. Heavy snowfall earlier in the weekend made for heavy going as only the main yard-markers and sidelines were made visible.

Still, the Lions romped to victory as Seth Campbell scored two touchdowns, while Parker Simson, Tristan Basher and Taylor Knoll had a major each.

“We controlled the game and did what we

The winner of Saturday’s game will advance to the B.C. final Dec. 4 in Langley.

PEEWEE LIONS IN ABBY

The Kelowna Lions will visit Abbotsford Sat-

urday afternoon in B.C. peewee football’s provincial semifinal.

Kick off is 3 p.m.

The winner will advance to the provincial championship game Dec. 4 in Langley.

“Abbotsford is talent-

ed and well-coached,” said Lions coach Gerry Dirksen. “We’ll have to play well.”

The Lions advanced by trudging their way through the snow for a 28-0 win over the Vernon Yellowjackets in the Southern Interior Football Conference final last Sunday at CNC. Blaise Beauchemin and Alexander Gross scored touchdowns for the Lions who took some time to get going against Vernon, but once they did it was no contest.

The Kelowna defense has yet to give up a touchdown this season.

“The field was tough to play on,” said Dirksen.

“They’re well-coached and they were containing us for a while. But the guys really wanted it. Our defense kept stopping them and that gave us a chance to get rolling.”

Running awards Kelowna runners were conspicuous at the Interior Running Association’s annual awards banquet Saturday in Kamloops.

Kelowna athletes won awards all every women’s age class: Michelle Sinclair (4044), Janice McQuilkin (45-49), Cindy Rhodes (50-54), Laurelee Nelson (Welder) (55-59), Astrd Varga (60-64), Diane Leonard (65-69), and Liz Borrett (70-74).

Three men from Kelowna won their respective age classes: Jason Rodine (30-34), Roy Uzelman (60-64), and Bill Stephens (70-74).

Cindy Rhodes was awarded the Heidi Muckle-Gader Cup as the top age graded woman runner. The age graded system uses a formula that compares the times of runners against the world best at that age to determine who is the fastest age graded runner in the

series.

Kelowna runners also were voted the male and female runners of the year.

Liz Borrett won due to her impressive record of seven wins in seven races in what was basically her first year of serious competitive running. She posted some fast times, often finishing well ahead of the top finishers in the younger age classes.

Bill Stephens won the male award after a record breaking season in which he ran all 11 series races and won them all, something that had never been accomplished in the 29 years that the series has been in existence. He also became the oldest runner to receive the Iron Legs award for running every race in the series.

Other Kelowna recipients of the Iron Legs awards were Michelle Sinclair, Jason Rodine and Markus Heinrichs.

Ogopogo slo-pitch team bring souvenir home from Utah The 2011 slo-pitch season has long been over, but it won’t soon be forgotten by the Kelowna Ogopogo 65 men’s team.

The local squad fcapped off another stellar

year with a bronze medal last month at the Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George, Utah.

The Ogopogo 65s took third place in the A division of the tournament in

the 65 to 69 age category.

Kelowna went 4-1 in the round robin before losing two close playoff games, 19-18 and 18-14 to the gold and silver medal-winning teams. They

were the local team’s first losses in the last 20 tournament games.

Slo-pitch was the largest sporting event at the Utah games with more than 3,000 players com-

peting.

It was the 25th annniversary of the event with 22 countries and 10,000 athletes taking part.

Ogopogo manager Lon Brinton said the

World Senior Games were a spectacle that made an impression on all 13 members of the Kelowna team.

“It was a phenomenal experience,” said Brin-

ton, who has attended four World Senior Games. “I always say to those if you have a chance to do this, I See Ogopogos A24

Night of the Arts fundraiser aimed to help youth at risk taking part in this year’s show. It’s a special night you do not want to miss,” said Charlie Hodge, coorganizer and founder of the event.

“For seven years now Curtis Tulman and I have gathered Okanagan artists and asked them to contribute their talents towards the needs of many in our community.

“Year after year we are blown away with the sharing and caring our musical and artistic friends are willing to make.”

Beneficiary of the

event this year is the Metro Community, which among other valuable projects run the Metro Central facility in downtown Kelowna.

The organization provides counseling services and a safe gathering spot (including a coffee shop) for the homeless or those at risk in our community.

Metro Central is located on Water Street kitty-corner from City Hall.

Headliners for this year’s concert include the superb sounds of the Deb Stone Band featuring the

diverse, spectacular vocals of the Kelowna singer. Stone has released two CD’s, one an original collection, and the second a tribute to the legendary Patsy Cline.

“She’s amazing. The woman nails everything she sings and is a total thrill to work with,” Tulman said of Stone.

Tulman ought to know since he has been named the Canadian Country Music Association’s Special Instrumentalist of the Year three times.

Also rocking up the

stage on Saturday will be the very popular Jimmy LeGuilloux Band, which naturally features the wellknown local rock icon.

LeGuilloux is nationally acknowledged for his astounding guitar and songwriting skills and a wicked voice of his own.

Over the years LeGuilloux has been the leader of various B.C. bands including Who’s On Bass, Vicious Fishes, and The Influence.

The night’s opening set will kick off with the brilliant bluegrass band

Day Late and a Dollar Short, followed by Teena Gowdy, and then the amazingly talented Robert Fine and his Dreamland Dance Band.

Also taking to the stage at the Kelowna Community Theatre this Saturday will be the James Balfour, and Justin Dueck.

Both exceptional men will wow audiences with their own talented bands and original tunes.

Metro Central has been working extremely hard the past several months constructing a super silent auction chalked full of exceptional gifts.

Among the myriad of items available are a number of works by local artists including Yvonne

Moorish, Nikki Balfour, Dave Stratten, Marion Krahn, and others including a custom oil painting done of your own home.

Other assorted silent auction items include a few stellar wines, (including Jackson Triggs’ World’s Best Syrah, Black Hills Nota Bene), or a plethora of diverse goodies including romantic packages at local hotels and B&B’s.

The evening is a fun, family-friendly opportunity to kick into the Christmas spirit. Doors open at 6 p.m. concert starts at 7 p.m. Admission to the concert is by donation.

isitors to the Kelowna Art Gallery from now until the end of 2011 are in for a double-header.

The two artists featured both exploit the expressive qualities of the graphic medium of drawing, but with entirely different emotional resonances.

Steve Higgins, whose show was featured in last month’s column, ruminates on the built environment and the hopelessness of utopian ideals.

Rose Braun is interested in something much more immediate and personal. The gallery viewer may well feel they are being exposed to a yin/ yang polarity of classically male and female sensibilities and concerns.

Braun, who is based in Lake Country, works with charcoal and conté on vellum and paper, as well as on canvas and galvanized steel with paint.

There is very little colour

ON VIEW

Liz Wylie in her current exhibition, and this, combined with the show’s title, Requiem, may nudge the viewer into the understanding that her theme is one of grief and mourning.

Colour, especially bright or strong colour, is usually thought of as one of the most expressive elements in a work of visual art. But restricting oneself to black and white can also be an effective way of ramping up the intensity of feeling in a work of art.

It is interesting to consider how it is that an artist transforms and transcends the particular and

the specific into works of art that can be universally understood and appreciated. Is it even possible to break down this aspect of art, or is it ineffable and part of its magic?

In the case of Rose Braun, many viewers might suppose that some of the images of young children in the exhibition are based on old family snapshots—the images have that vintage appeal to them.

And most visitors would notice that there are two small children in each image; are these in fact twins being portrayed?

Whatever the specifics of pose or dress, many people seeing these works will easily grasp their sources and content, and perhaps even begin thinking of their own childhood memories, or memories of raising children.

There is also a drawing of a set of bunk beds,

standing in inky darkness (created by charcoal) as though remembered in a dream of long ago. But all these images are open to interpretation. They are works of art, not narrative illustrations.

The only element in the exhibition that definitively gives away the show’s theme to the viewer is its accompanying catalogue (free to gallery goers). Viewers who pick up a copy will read that Braun is working through the death of her twin brother two years ago.

This information explains the image of a man’s feet (drawn in conté) and of a man’s distorted and spectral face.

We then apprehend the layers of grief and mourning slotted in amongst those of memory and time past, and understand the emotional tenor of the room. This See KAG B3

There’s something about being a Christian that makes Christmas more meaningful, says Michelle Wright, one of Canada’s pioneer voices in Nashville.

It wasn’t until she was baptized as a Christian 13 years ago that she really took on Christmas music, now a staple of her yearly routine and part of the magic that’s won her a space in Canadian homes from coast-to-coast with

timeless tunes that transcend genre and illuminate her talent for speaking from the heart.

“I felt somewhat like if you’re going to stand there and sing about Christ you need to believe in order to do it,” she explained. “(Once I did), then I just couldn’t wait to make a Christmas record.”

In 2006, she put out a Wright Christmas and her Christmas tour became a Canadian tradition. Speaking to the Capital News from her Nashville home this month, she confessed

she is a “Martha Stewart” of decorating back home, spending her last few days before she hits the bus literally decking the halls.

With a 16-date tour that brings her to Kelowna early in December, she won’t be State-side until Dec. 23 when the tour finally wraps, so she needs to break with tradition and put the tree up well before Dec. 1.

Then her early Christmas continues in Canmore with a visit to her See Wright B3

▼ MOVIE REVIEW

Warewolves get all fuzzy over family wedding TWILIGHT–BREAKING DAWN PART 1

I was one of many thousands who went to see the fourth in the series of the Vampire/Werewolf franchise over the weekend. In fact, on Friday night alone, it earned the third largest opening numbers ever with $72 million, behind Harry Potter and the Deadly Hallows Part 2, ($91.1 million).

The series is taken from the books written

by American Stephanie Meyer, the 37-year-old known for her vampire romances. Her Twilight novels have sold over 100 million world-wide.

Stephanie herself is a practicing Mormon and, as we see in the show, some of her beliefs are evident, and good for her.

I was entertained, and this was action-packed.

Oh sure, it was weird at times, but it was nice to know that even at vampire weddings there is family drama. Of course for us mortals, we only have one lifetime in which to experience our dysfunctional families. Those poor vampires live for centur-

BEHIND THE SCREEN

Susan Steen ies. See, it’s not all blood and graveyards for these guys.

Yes, Bella Swan (Kirsten Stewart) risks life and limb to fall in love and marry the vampire of her dreams, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson). At the wedding that, interestingly enough, reminded me of one of mine, the groom looked creepy and the bride looked like she was being walked to the guillotine.

Interesting also was the fact no one seemed to notice that the groom and half of the guests looked uncomfortable in the sunlight and were paler than the snow that fell in the Okanagan on the weekend.

The best line was said by the bride’s father: “We thought you needed something blue and something old besides your mother.”

Wright from B1

For Bella, of course things do not go well and she gets ready to give birth to God knows what.

Since she obviously has never seen Rosemary’s Baby, the viewer is left to wonder what awaits the mother to be.

Sure, there are departures from the book and I, for one, was thrilled— have you read the ending?

Bella has a champion in the werewolf Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) who actually comes to realize that family is important, even if it’s strange and very odd, and he continues to protect her and her new family even at the risk of his own safety and the chance of his being excommunicated from his wolf pack.

I really liked this and will be in line for Part 2, the final in this popular series due out on November 16, 2012.

Two silver bullets, three wooden stakes and four movie reels for this one!

mom and let her band compose itself in the heart of ski country before braving blizzards and ice slicks to visit her Canadian fans.

“My mother was a single, struggling parent quite a bit, but one thing I always remember was how much she tried to make Christmas special for us,” said Wright, who remains close with her family though she’s been in Nashville for 20 years.

“We always had a tree and something under the tree and she was a great cook and we always had something delicious to eat,” she said.

When Wright arrived in Nashville, winning a music contract after touring Canada for 10 years, she was only the third Canadian musician to win the trust of the American music executives, behind Anne Murray and k.d. lang.

Since then, several Canadian country singers have made it in what’s affectionately called the Peach Capital, including Paul Brandt, Carolyn Dawn Johnson, Shania Twain, to name but a few.

Wright said she’s lucky that they all get to hang out together and have formed a tight bond.

Working with other musicians is a big part of

her life and she’s currently courting a song she’s just co-written that she may play on the Christmas tour.

Wright gave us a taste of the lyrics and, to put it like a country crooner, it goes a little something like this: “These are the pieces,

the colours and creases, the choices that change who we are “The tears and the sweetness, these are the pieces of my life.”

Wright has just released an acoustic album as well which should feature prominently in this set of dates (www.michelle-

wright.com to listen).

Michelle Wright’s Christmas tour begins on Dec. 3 in Kamloops before she plays the Kelowna Community Theatre Dec. 4 at 7:30 p.m.

Braun’s work at KAG to Jan. 8 KAG from B1 is heavy-hitting work that is dealing with intensely personal and emotional memories.

But, through whatever means or process, there is something here for others in this exhibition, it is not a case of venting or navel gazing. After all, funer-

ary art, and the themes of mourning and loss have a long tradition in the history of art, and the expression in the works is sometimes helpful to people

in their own working through of grief.

Stronger, the title for for Kelly Clarkson’s new release, appears to be an album where the first half complains and gripes about relationships gone wrong while the second half of the album sings the praises of true love.

The second song on this new release references J.P. Sartre’s infamous quip as its title What Ever Doesn’t Kill You (Stronger) (sic) that, I guess, is the theme song for this fifth studio album.

At times Clarkson’s vocals can get a tad too shrill as she wails about the unfaithful people in her life but then again most of these songs where written by outside writers so much of these are most likely crocodile tears for effect.

Clarkson has enjoyed a top 10 hit with the radio friendly and hooky good riddance song Mr. Know It All and later Clarkson admonishes and mocks another untrue lover with Einstein—maybe not knowing that the great scientist was notorious for his ill-treatment of his significant other.

Clarkson also tries to cover all bases here to keep her large crossover fan base. There is a touch of hip hop, a couple of power ballads, some understated club music, a lone blast of punk-pop and even a duet with country star Jason Aldean on Don’t You Wanna Stay which is sure to become a country hit.

Fans will want to note

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell that Stronger comes in two editions. There is also a Deluxe Edition that expands on the standard issue and it is on the former where you will find her country duet. I hear a future mainstream adult alt hit coming with the solid You Love Me and its strong appeal.

HAPPY FEET TWO; SOUNDTRACK [WARNER]

The soundtrack to this reprise of the animated feature film Happy Feet, Two is a bit of a departure from more recent film related albums. Quite often now a film will generate two albums with the film score and the soundtrack of songs that were in (or inspired) the movie.

Happy Feet Two is very lengthy with 23 tracks over 75 minutes where the first nine are actual songs while the remaining tunes are incidental music from the cinematic backdrop.

The biggest selling point here and potential hit is the new original song by Pink (apparently she is spelling it P!nk now) with the lifeaffirming ballad Bridge Of Light, while the kids to whom this film is mostly aimed might get a kick out of sing-along songs

with the Two Feet Chorus for The Trashmen’s Papa Oom Mow Mow and Rawhide from the ’60s TV series of the same name.

Meanwhile, Pink also covers the David BowieQueen evergreen Under Pressure.

The opening medley is a head swivelling overly busy mishmash of hits by Janet Jackson, her brother MJ, Sly Stone and others while Janet J’s Rhythm Nation is a recurring theme musically on this combined score and soundtrack.

PINK FLOYD; THE BEST OF, A FOOT IN THE DOOR [EMI]

Pink Floyd have released many retrospectives and a few multi-album box sets where they have now released more compilations and anthologies than they have actual studio albums.

This new single CD Best Of is maxed out at nearly 80 minutes with 16 tracks which acts as a good introduction to the group and explains the

disc title A Foot In The Door given their large back catalogue.

But a Best Of collection is totally subjective and this set has been selected by the band members themselves who, I guess, don’t have a lot of affection for some of their hits where classic radio top 10 staples such as Not Now John, Keep Talking and Take It Back are passed over.

Instead there are dubious additions such as The Great Gig In The Sky, The Fletcher Memorial Home, Eclipse and The Happiest Days Of Our Lives which are included.

A Foot In The Door is being heavily advertised on TV and the band has a huge dedicated following so this disc has made its debut near the top 20 album sales.

But for the truest, subjective Best Of collection the committed fan in the download generation has probably already made their own mixed tape of favourites.

For the retail market this Best Of CD does include smash hits like Money, Another Brick In The Wall (Pink Floyd’s stab at disco back in the ’70s heydays), Comfortably Numb and Shine On You Crazy Diamond Parts 1-5 but the collection oddly starts off with a whimper with the depressing Hey You and closes with the equally moody Eclipse.

A good starter kit and a handsome bonbon stocking stuffer.

B

SCORPIONS; COMEBLACK [SONY]

Germany’s veteran hard rock ensemble Scorpions recently completed a ‘farewell’ tour that went way better than the group had expected with sold out shows and wildly enthusiastic audiences. As a result the band decided to enter the studios to create this memento to their fans where they re-recorded a few of their biggest hits such as Rock You Like A Hurricane, The Zoo, No One Like You and The Wind Of Change.

These songs are not radically re-tooled but the sound is crisp and spare. The real gems here for classic rock fans are the half dozen covers of ’60’s bands that most influenced Scorpions.

The take of The Small Faces’ Tin Soldier is superb while there are solid takes of gems such as The Kinks’ All Day And All Of The Night, The Beatles’ Across The Universe, and T.Rex’s Children Of The Revolution.

Passable versions of Ruby Tuesday and the old R&B nugget Tainted Love (an ’80s hit for Soft Cell) round out this set that will please old fans and no doubt be the harbinger for another reunion tour by Scorpions.

Create a giving plan for your family Dawn Wilkinson CONTRIBUTOR

Generosity flows during the holiday season.

Feelings of good will and compassion guide our thoughts and decisions.

You can become proactive by creating your family giving plan and by involving the young people in your life to become donors too.

Canada Helps offers some Smart Giving tips. Share with your children and younger relatives about causes that are important to you. Encourage each one to research a charity they would like to support and during mealtimes discuss what they learn.

Chat about the different roles of government, business and charities.

What would our world be like without the work of charities in arts and culture, animal welfare, education, the environment, or health care, to name a few?

What interests your young family members?

If they think education is important, do they want to give to a foundation and build an ongoing source of income for that charity or do they want to help adults learn to read?

Do they want to help people in Canada or elsewhere in the world? What are the advantages of giv-

ing to a small, volunteerrun organization versus a large, multi-national charity?

What can your children learn from an online search at the Canada Revenue Agency? Is the charity they are interested in registered? Is their charity’s information up to date? Look for an annual report and financial statements on the charity’s website.

Visit or volunteer at local branches of a charity to learn first-hand about how the charity is making a difference. Check out

www.kcr.ca for contact information. Ask about personal stories from donors, clients and volunteers.

Set up an annual giving budget as a family.

How much, when and where will the donations be given?

Many charities use Canada Helps and you can set up a free donor account to organize your giving as a family.

Folk/rock musician James Balfour and an all star collection of local rock veterans are taking part in this year’s Night of the Arts concert.

“James is a very gifted singer and songwriter in the folk/rock genre.

“I have had the privilege of listening to and working with James for a bit now and he’s ‘got it,’” said multiple award winning Canadian musician and songwriter Curtis Tulman.

for the musical fundraiser, in its seventh year. “Music fans will certainly enjoy this addition to our lineup,” Tulman said.

Also taking to the stage at the Kelowna Community Theatre this Saturday is the gifted singer/songwriter Pat Brown and a couple of his former band mates from the local rock band Ten2Nine.

“Brown is without a doubt one of the premier singers in Western Canada. His range, pitch, and diction, is superb and he knows how to own a

stage. His new band, the Balmoral Orchestra is riveting to watch,” said the shows producer Charlie Hodge.

The lineup for this year’s event will also include a couple of very popular acts from last year—the bluegrass band Day Late and A Dollar Short, Robert Fine and his Dreamland Dance Band and the Deb Stone Band.

For the past six years Hodge and Tulman have assembled an array of Okanagan musicians who donate their time to the

fundraiser silent/auction concert to assist youth at risk and the homeless.

This year Metro Central on Water Street is the beneficiary of the many musicians and artists efforts.

Night of the Arts is at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Nov. 26.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and the concert starts at 7 p.m.

Kids flicks adults can see MOVIE GUY

Rick Davis pets and hold a telethon to raise $10 million needed to save the theatre.

An early working title was The Greatest Muppet Movie of All Time!!!, which may not have been far from the truth.

Another filmmaker best known for adultthemed films has made a family film with critical success. Although it may not seem surprising that Martin Scorsese has won over the critics with Hugo, what is surprising is that it is a Spielberg-like 3D family adventure.

Based upon the New York Times best-seller, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, the title character is a wily and resourceful boy who embarks on an adventure to unlock a secret left to him by his father. Relative newcomer Asa Butterfield (Nanny McPhee Returns) stars

along with Chloe Moretz (Kick-Ass) and acting heavyweights Ben Kingsley, Ray Winstone, Sacha Baron Cohen, Emily Mortimer, Jude Law and Christopher Lee. Aardman Animation is best known for stopmotion animation like Wallace and Gromit and Chicken Run but now they have taken their distinct look and made a computer generated adventure called Arthur Christmas.

The story reveals the answer to the age old question: How does Santa deliver all those presents in one night? However, when the high-tech military precision of Santa’s annual trek misses one child, his son Arthur must embark on an adventure to make sure one child is not disappointed Christmas morning. While not getting the unanimous praises both Muppets and Hugo are getting, most critics like the new take on a Christmas legend.

Applicants sought for College’s Board of Governors Interest is being sought from individuals who may want to serve on the Okanagan College Board of Governors. There is one anticipated vacancy that will open in January 2012.

The Board oversees the affairs of the College, sets the standards of organizational conduct and supervises the President, who is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the institution, which has an $92-million budget, approximately 1,200 employees and the equivalent of about 6,500 students.

While the institution and the B.C. Government (which appoints individuals to the Board) are seeking expertise in several specific areas, candidates from all backgrounds and from all communities served by the College are encouraged to apply.

Full-time programs available online this winter:

The appointments are generally for a one-year term and may be followed by subsequent two-year appointments. Knowledge of a learning environment as well as First Nations communities would be an asset.

lthough all three movie releases this weekend are geared towards families, I do not think any adult should be ashamed to see any of them without a kid in tow.

It is no secret that Jason Segel loves The Muppets. The star of How I Met Your Mother included puppets in his very adult-oriented comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall and soon after, he and Sarah Marshall director Nicholas Stoller started pitching concepts for a Muppet movie to Disney.

Although Segel himself may be the world’s biggest Muppets fan, his and Stoller’s script is about a puppet from Smalltown, USA who claims to be the Muppets’ biggest fan. While on vacation in Los Angeles, Walter and his friends Gary (Segel) and Mary (Amy Adams) discover a nefarious plan by an oilman (Chris Cooper) to raze the Muppet Theatre and drill for oil discovered beneath it. The friends decide to help Kermit reunite the Mup-

The D-word derives its own negative connotations A kerfuffle is raised every time a comedian, politician, or businessperson uses the F-word or the N-word. I understand that.

But to me, the D-word is the most obscene. I’m referring to disposable.

Let me explain.

When I was a boy, we were poor and it was a big deal when my parents bought me a new coat. I would quickly outgrow it, and it would be passed on to my sister.

My parents boasted that three of their children had worn the same coat.

They weren’t concerned (nor were we kids) about gender differences or fashion; it was the coat’s ability to keep the wearer warm and its durability (now there’s a good D-word) that mattered.

We now have an economic system in which companies must not only show a profit each year, they must strive for constant growth.

If a product is rugged and durable, it creates a problem for even the most successful business—a diminishing and eventually saturated market.

Of course, any product will eventually wear to a point where it can no longer be patched, so the market will continue to exist to replace worn products.

SCIENCE MATTERS

David Suzuki But that’s not good enough in a competitive world driven by the demand for relentless growth in profits and profitability.

So companies create an aura of obsolescence, where today’s product looks like a piece of junk when next year’s model comes out. We’ve lived with that for decades in the auto industry.

I’ve always said a car is simply a means of getting from point A to point B, but it’s become far more than that.

Some cars convey a sense of power, and cars become safe havens when loaded with cup holders, sound systems, and even TVs and computers.

Some people even name their cars, talk to them, and care for them like babies—until next year’s models come along.

It’s similar with clothing, even with outdoor attire beloved by environmentalists.

We have a proliferation of choice based on colour, sexiness and other

properties that have nothing to do with function.

I don’t understand torn blue jeans as a fashion statement, and I wish people would wear their pants till they spring their own leaks rather than deliberately incorporating tears.

All of this is designed to get us to toss stuff away as quickly as possible so the economy can keep spinning.

Nowhere is this more obvious than with elec-

tronic gadgets. When my wife lost the cord to charge her cellphone, she went to seven stores.

None had the necessary plug for her phone.

Finally, she went back to the retailer that sold her brand only to be told that the cords for the new models don’t fit the old ones and hers was so old, it wasn’t even on the market any more. It was a year-and-a-half old.

I remember when I was given the first lap-

top computer on the market. It had an LED display screen that let me see three lines at a time and a chip that stored about three pages of writing.

But it was small and had word processing and a port to send my pieces by telephone. It revolutionized my life.

I was writing a weekly column for the Globe and Mail and was able to send articles from Russia and even remote towns in the Amazon.

A couple of years later, a much better laptop hit the market. It had an LCD screen, a huge memory, and it displayed almost a full page. I got one.

A year later, I got a new model, and then half a year after that, another.

Each served me well, but every year, new ones would appear that were faster, smaller, and lighter, with longer-life batteries and more bells and whistles.

Try to get one fixed or upgraded, though. As with digital cameras, I was repeatedly told that it would cost more to fix an old laptop than to buy a new model.

This is madness in a finite world with finite resources. At the very least, products should be created so components can be pulled apart and reused until they wear out.

You see why I think the D-word is so obscene. www.davidsuzuki.org

IS GOD ON THE BENCH? A recent premarital counselling session compelled me to think about Christian marriage in a novel way. The first meeting between the pastor and the happy couple is always somewhat of a nervous time for all. The couple often wonders what the pastor is going to ask of them. They fear that the pastor has some kind of a test the prospective bride and groom must pass in order to qualify for a wedding in the church. As a pastor, I wonder about the faith and life of the couple coming for this first meeting.

Following the customary pleasantries, I try to break the ice. “So, tell me about your backgrounds... uh your faith backgrounds.” The couple typically reveal their faith background. Most always, either the bride or groom will reveal they are Lutheran. They reveal that, like all good Lutherans, they have been baptized and are a veteran of Sunday school, Vacation Bible School, and Confirmation classes. I typically ask if they are currently practicing their faith. More often than not, one will take the lead and say, with great sincerity and candour, “We both believe that going to Church is not a priority right now.” I thank them for being so honest and open with me.

I assure them that I want to be just as honest and open with them.

When the couple in my last premarital session gave these typical responses, the following words flew out of my mouth: “If you remember nothing else I say this day, remember this: Marriage will make the two of you a partnership, a team. Teams are formed to play a game. Life is often described as a game. In many ways, you will be no different than the NHL teams which have begun season play. You have to hit the ice every day and achieve goals individually and as a couple.

Each of you has a career and you will need to meet your employer’s goals or you could lose your job. Together, you will have many goals. You may want to buy a home, start a family, establish credit, save and build a nest egg for retirement. Your goals may also include spending time with family and friends, planning vacations and spending time on hobbies and other recreational pursuits. However, your most important goal must be to grow together as a couple; for the love and affection you feel for one another to grow, mature and deepen. Couples should always strive for an ever deepening emotional, physical and spiritual union. All the other goals flow from this one.”

I reminded the couple that, on their wedding day, they will each say to the other: “I take you as my spouse from this day forward, to join with you and share all that is to come and promise to be faithful to you as long as we both shall live.” I challenged the couple to see that, when they make their vows, they will be writing a check with their mouths that they cannot cash with their bodies. If they are honest with themselves and one another, they have to admit there is no way to be sure they can fulfill their vows. Every team that gets on the ice to play a game of hockey has to face opposition. In marriage, the ‘opposition’ tries to interfere with the couple with the goal of preventing them from scoring goals. Some of this interference will come from within them. Jealousy, envy, anger, lust, selfishness and pride may very well color how they look at one another.

These feelings and emotions can impede their teamwork and can even destroy the team.

Like an opposing team, there are things from the outside that can also interfere with their teamwork.

Careers, physical and mental illness, war, disaster, pestilence, economic hardship, hobbies and recreation, their friends, and even relatives can affect their relationship and drive the couple apart. Opposing forces can either cause the couple to work together to overcome a challenge, thereby strengthening their marriage, or those forces can tear them apart. As dire as all this seemed, I assured the couple they had come to the right place. There is help for their marriage because of who they are and more importantly “whose” they are.

In a Christian marriage ceremony, the bride and the groom make promises to one another before God. Once the vows are made, the pastor makes this bold statement to the couple: “By your promises before God and in the presence of this congregation, you have bound yourselves to one another as husband and wife. Blessed be the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit now and forever. Those whom God has joined together let no one put asunder.” By these words, God puts His seal on the new team’s roster. God promises to keep the team together and in the game of life.

God’s blessing on the couple reminds them that when they were baptized, they were baptized into Christ’s death and His resurrection and became a part of the Church - the body of Christ

(God’s Team). When they make their vows to one another before God they acknowledge that they are His; He brought them together, He makes them a team that day, and will make their team grow stronger and stronger in the days that will come.

God declares that He wants to be a vital part of their team. However, a real and present danger exists when the couple gets out on the ice and begins their life as a team: they will leave God ‘on the bench’. They will try to fulfill their vows, play their game and achieve their goals without Him. I warn couples that leaving God on the bench can be disastrous. God wants to be in the game with couples. He wants to encourage them along, run interference on the opposition, coach them and help them to achieve their goals. God does not want to be on the sidelines. He wants to be invited onto the ice.

I reminded the couple that God comes off the bench and into the game when a couple, and the family they raise, regularly worship God in Church.

When the couple gathers each morning for devotions and a time of prayer, God is in their game that day.

When the couple takes time to study God’s word, He coaches them for the days ahead. My hope and prayer is that this couple sees their wedding day as the beginning of a time in their life that God gets into their game. Only time will tell.

Is your family doing well in your game of life? Are you achieving your goals?

Are you weary and need help? Do you need a word of encouragement? Do you need a new game plan? Is God on the bench or is He in the game with you? He wants to be in the game! You can find Him at a Church near you. Come join us at Grace Lutheran. On Sundays we praise God at 10:30 AM (Traditional) and noon (Contemporary).

▼ CIVIC ELECTION

One fresh new face joins West Kelowna council Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

With an incumbent mayor and five incumbent councillors retaining their seats, Rick de Jong will likely stand out when he takes his seat in West Kelowna council chambers.

But there’s no questioning that he earned the spot.

With 2,879 ballots with his name checked off, de Jong earned nearly 1,000 more votes than any of the other new challengers.

The newcomer credited the success to getting his name out early.

“I started my campaign right after Labour Day weekend,” said de Jong.

“I spent a great deal of time knocking on doors. I literally knocked on thousands of doors right across the entire community. I met people on their doorstep and listened to them on their doorstep.”

The message that de Jong received was that while people were generally satisfied with their local government, some change was still necessary.

“Although they were relatively pleased how council has operated over the last four years, people were eager to see a little bit of change. I did hear, a number of times, that they were eager to see a little bit of younger blood on council.”

Aside from youth, de Jong said he will bring a fresh perspective to council.

“I’m bringing a unique perspective that I’ve gained through my years of volunteer experience.”

According to de Jong, the door knocking also helped him gain an insight

into the unique character of each individual neighbourhood throughout the community.

Although de Jong had confidence that he was a strong contender to win a seat, he says election night was still a nervous one for him. “Between 8 and 9:15 p.m., when the results came out, there was a great deal of anticipation and a bit of pins and needles,” Fifty of his supporters and campaign helpers breathed a sigh of relief when the results indicated he would have a spot on the local government for the next three years.

With Rosalind Neis unable to gain the mayor’s seat, the number of women on council has been reduced to one, so de Jong noted he was happy Carol Zanon kept her seat in order to maintain some female representation.

High on de Jong’s list of priorities is strengthening the relationship with the business and investment community in West Kelowna. “I know council has already made some moves in that regard. I want to make sure that council continues to move towards positive influence.”

The Westbank Town Centre Revitalization Plan is another item that de Jong is excited to begin implementing.

“I think that’s critical to helping us develop a stronger identity and moving the economy forward.”

Mayor Doug Findlater said that de Jong will be a solid addition to the current council. “I think Rick will fit in great.

Rick’s been in leadership positions and he’s been around local government, so he’ll stand in good stead,” said Findlater. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Community hall closed for renovations

Christmas Craft Fair at community centre

Upgrades to Lakeview Heights Community Hall are underway and the District of West Kelowna has closed the building for approximately three months.

The municipality opted to complete improvements in the fall and winter months for minimal disturbance to user groups.

Renovations include: • safely removing and disposing of asbestos • removing an existing wall and the roof on the main hall • constructing new walls and truss roof to meet current B.C. Building Code requirements • installing a new heating, air conditioning and ventilation unit in the up-

per hall • installing a new furnace in the lower level • building an improved accessibility ramp and balcony and • replacing existing light fixtures, windows and doors with new energy efficient units.

The total project cost is approximately $280,000.

Lakeview Heights Com-

munity Hall has been located in Anders Park since 1958; renovations were last completed in 2003.

The DWK will also be required to close the playground and outdoor washrooms, located adjacent to the hall, to accommodate construction. Nearby tennis courts will remain open.

While upgrades are

underway on the community hall, the DWK will also make improvements to the adjacent sports box at a cost of $35,000. Upgrades include resurfacing, the addition of pickle ball courts and reconfiguration of the road hockey box/basketball court.

The facility will remain closed until next spring.

Mt. Boucherie Secondary School Community Connection November 2011

Helping an orphanage in Kenya

BY BRIANNE MOORE Over the last four years Mount Boucherie Secondary has been supporting St. Philips orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya. Funding their programs and living costs for dozens of kids was done by collecting funds from recycling the school’s bottles and cans. Recently, in the slums of Nairobi a gas line exploded impacting everyone in the area. People’s living areas were ruined and finding a meal is even more of a challenge. This explosion was detrimental to St. Philips. A recycling plastic plant Mount Boucherie Secondary had funded for the orphanage last year was demolished along with three tons of plastic that had been collected. Employ-

ers of the center were killed, and money that had been collected to fund a playground

for the orphanage was stolen.

With all the tragedy St. Philips has faced, we are

hoping to give them a helping hand. This week at Mount Boucherie Secondary we are hosting a Week for Change, hoping to fundraise enough to help St. Philips get back on their feet. With a generous donation from McDonalds and help from the Global Service Club members, we will be able to sell various food items over the course of the week. With the challenges these people face everyday, it’s heartbreaking to see the poverty they live in increase. We hope that this Week for Change can be a part of helping Nairobi on the route of being restored.

IN 2010, A GROUP OF MOUNT BOUCHERIE students had the opportunity to visit these orphans, and see firsthand the poverty they live in.

Q West Kelowna Mayor’s Youth Forum

Youth speak & people listen

BY MATTHEW WIZINSKY On Oct. 28, several students from Mount Boucherie Secondary participated in the West Kelowna Mayor’s Youth Forum in order to “bridge the gap” between the youth and the respective leaders in our community. In our new city, the youth has expressed several opinions and ideas about the issues regarding us. The Forum allowed members of our town, and teenagers like us to communicate openly, and tackle some heavy problems that our city faces. As a discussion leader at my table, I directed the course of how we debated all four topics: safety, youth activities, communication to youth, and recognition for adolescents. I was amazed as the teenagers at my table and I had the undivided attention of the leaders in our community. As we gave them our speeches, telling them all the difficulties we face in our community as well as our solutions to them, we created a huge learning curve for everyone involved. The Mayor’s Youth Forum really did bridge the gap. It created the beginnings of a great communicating and cooperative community, for the youth and for the adults.

Preventing injury is about managing risk UPCOMING EVENTS it is as serious as bullying or as simple as soccer practice.

By purchasing a card and ride, you then have access to the 24 hour first priority cab service simply by calling the number on the back of your card. Each ride costs approximately $30, if you are under or over this amount, it is waived. If the ride is not used in one year the money goes back into the organization. This is another angle in the Smartrisk program we soon hope to bring to our school.

WEST KELOWNA FOOD BANK COLLECTION DECEMBER 1, 6PM TO 8 PM

BY ALLISON BROWN A typical Halloween night means candy and costumes but for some students at Mount Boucherie Secondary it meant an opportunity to help the West Kelowna Food Bank. Students went house to house asking for non-perishable food items. Ten boxes of groceries were collected and students send their thanks to those who gave their time and food.

The leadership classes have organized a food hamper drive for families in need. On Thurs., Dec. 1 between 6pm and 8pm students will be coming around to West Kelowna residences wearing identifying MBSS lanyards asking for non-perishable items. A notice will be given out to every neighbourhood with further information before then. We please ask that you could have some items ready or leave them on your doorstep if you know you will not be home.

If you would prefer to drop them off at the school, a drop off area is available in the main office from Dec. 1-7 during regular school hours. Please help ensure that everyone has a Merry Christmas this holiday season.

For more information call the school 250-712-7040 and ask for Deb Trewhitt or Christopher Carter.

MBSS NIGHT OF JAZZ, DECEMBER 14 ROTARY CENTRE FOR THE ARTS

BY SIMON BUCK The pre-Christmas season is truly a busy month for the music students and teachers at Mount Boucherie Secondary School.

The school’s 17th annual choral retreat was held at Green Bay Bible Camp, on Oct. 24 and 25. Rich Nace, a choir specialist, was there to work with the students over the course of the two days. He is from Seattle Washington, and holds a doctorate degree in choral conducting and vocal pedagogy, the study of voice instruction. To further build the choir’s skills, a karaoke evening was scheduled on Monday night. The whole experience was very enjoyable for all and the students really learned a lot.

On Dec. 14, at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, the MBSS Night of Jazz will take place at seven pm in the Atrium. The Mount Boucherie Secondary jazz combos will be the main feature of the evening, although individual choir students will also have the opportunity to step up to the microphone and perform. The groups are composed of a variety of talented young musicians, ranging from ages 14 to 18. This event will certainly not be the last concert for the Mount Boucherie Secondary choral and music programs, and is one not to be missed.

BY ALLISON BROWN Smartrisk. Surprisingly, many students and parents don’t know what this is. Personally, I had never heard of the program until my friend and I were asked to be the ambassadors for it. But once we attended the training it became shocking that something so beneficial to youth was flying under the radar.

Smartrisk is an organization dedicated to managing risks and preventing the loss of the 700 teens that die each year due to injury.

It comes down to five key messages which will be implemented by the Smartrisk club through awareness campaigns and competitions.

Imagine not being able to speak – not because you physically cannot, but because you would jeopardize your life to do so. For millions of young people all over the world, this is what they live with: a fear to speak out, to voice their needs.

Even today, in an age of cell phones, webcams and text messages there are people, (children most importantly), who are denied their right to communicate. It is these people who live through vast amounts of poverty, disease and war who need their voice the most, but ultimately cannot find it out of fear because their lives are on the line. They live in silence.

In our world filled with communication, we can do something for these voiceless people and we did: Mount Boucherie Secondary partnered with Free the Children on Nov. 23 to the 24 and stayed silent for a full 24 hours. Essentially, the silence we presented is so our peers could hear firsthand what people live like across the world. With our silence, we raised money to buy chickens and roosters for needy families; they provide eggs and a potential

income for these people who so desperately need it.

We are standing for those who need an education, health care, safety and a voice. On one hand, we are directly helping alleviate poverty and malnutrition issues with funding, but more importantly, we are spreading the word through silence because at times, silence is more powerful than words.

Free The Children believes in a world where all young people are free to achieve their fullest potential as agents of change. We are a charity and educational partner that empowers youth to remove barriers that prevent them from being active local and global citizens. Our domestic programs educate, engage and empower hundreds of thousands of youth in North America and the UK. Our international projects, led by our holistic and sustainable Adopt a Village model, has brought over 650 schools and school rooms to youth and provided clean water, health care and sanitation to one million people around the world, freeing children and their families from the cycle of poverty.

▼ ISSUE OF PRIVACY

Lawsuit process will be invasive

Y

ou can expect your privacy to be invaded to a certain extent if you pursue a personal injury claim.

One significant invasion of your privacy is the disclosure of your medical records to the insurance company.

Those records must be kept confidential within the confines of the lawsuit, but the thought of any stranger reviewing your private medical history, especially someone looking for ways to challenge your claim, is going to feel like a violation.

Invasion of privacy goes to an entirely different level from time to time.

Thankfully, it does not happen very often. I am talking about surreptitious video surveillance.

Imagine yourself going to a gym to work out. I know, 2011 New Year’s resolutions are a distant memory, and most of us are just gearing up for the Christmas season to justify a new set of resolutions for 2012.

My gym attendances have been irregular and most typically nonexistent.

When they have occurred, I have hauled my butt out of bed, thrown on unflattering workout clothes and headed down to the gym to get all sweaty.

I certainly have not planned on impressing anyone with my appearance by doing so much as even running a brush through my hair.

For some, it may be an entirely different story, but for me, the workout itself is far from flattering. I am focusing all of my energy and Paul attention on making Hergott it through a workout.

I am putting zero energy or attention into an impressive and poised performance.

In fact, I expect that my “performances” have been decidedly unimpressive.

If I thought that someone, anyone, was watching my every move or recording me with a camcorder, I would feel extremely uncomfortable.

It was just a week or so ago when I last found myself watching camcorder footage of one of my clients. Most of the footage was taken while my client was working out at a local gym.

My client’s girlfriend had come along for the office consultation.

She was absolutely disgusted.

You might wonder how my client would not have noticed someone training a camcorder on him.

I could tell from the footage that the camcorder was concealed within a gym bag, the lens shooting through a hole in the fabric.

The videographer moved the bag from place to place as my client went to different workout stations.

I was able to ease my client’s discomfort arising from the invasion of his privacy by explaining to him that the footage the insurance company had paid so much to ob-

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

tain was some of the best evidence I could have hoped for to prove his case.

Most of the exercises he had been doing were actually prescribed by his medical team as “active rehabilitation.”

The ways he moved in many instances were peculiar to his particular injury. Best yet, certain camera angles actually showed a visible lump of damaged tissue in his lower back.

Had the insurance company not come up with fair dollars to settle the case, I had planned on featuring the videographer as a key witness at the trial, and the video footage as a key piece of evidence.

It is not unusual, in fact it is typical, that video footage helps a case instead of hurts it.

I insist that my clients be 100 per cent honest about their claims, and as a rule that insistence is unnecessary.

It is only if you are dishonest about the impact your injuries are having on your life that video surveillance can hurt your case.

Honesty completely diffuses any value that the insurance company could otherwise gain from video surveillance and can turn that evidence around to help your case.

Of course, nothing will fully make up for knowing that your messy hair, unflattering grunts and repositioning of underwear is permanently recorded on video.

ARE YOU READY TO BUY A HOME? FIRST - do you have the financial resources? You should have five percent of the purchase price of a home for the down payment, but ideally even more.

Are there other priorities in your life e.g. starting a new business, which require your savings? If not, buying a home should be on your radar.

SECOND - do you expect to stay in your new home for some time?

Moving can be expensive and you will want to build some equity before having to relocate. Your job and home life should be stable.

FENTIMAN, AL Born August 8, 1945 in New Westminster, BC, passed away peacefully at the age of 66 on November 19, 2011 at Kelowna Hospice House.

Al is survived by the love of his life Sharon of 43 years; loving daughters Shauna Reid (Matt) and Carley Joyce (Jeff) and grandchildren Sam and Gracie Reid. Although he didn’t choose to be a warrior, Al had been drafted into a battle with an illness which he bravely fought. Throughout it he made every attempt to not only live life to the fullest, but to live each day with grace, strength and pride. Throughout his life, Al made friends, left lasting impressions and, with a tremendous amount of integrity, treated all with fairness, respect and kindness. Al was cherished and loved by his family, dear friends and all those that knew him. No one can take the place of a man whose heart was as big as his smiles, whose advice was a great as his sense of humour, and whose caring was as deep as his love of family. He always believed in family first. A special thanks to Dr. Rolf and Dr. Erasmus for their excellent care and support they have so selflessly given to our family. Prayers are to be recited at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, November 25, 2011 and a Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, November 26, 2011.

Both will be held at the Immaculate Conception Church, 839 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, the family asks you to consider a donation to the Theatre Kelowna Society, 421 Cawston Avenue, Kelowna, BC V1Y 6Z1. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com.

DOVGALEV, REV. JAN Rev. Jan Dovgalev went to be with his Lord and Saviour on November 20, 2011 at the age of 87. Jan was born in Belarus, and married his wife, Maria in Germany in 1947, then immigrated to Canada in 1949. Jan’s faith, his service to his heavenly Father, and his family were his life. He pastored Russian Evangelical Baptist churches in Oshawa, Toronto, Calgary and Kelowna. He ministered to others through his love of music, led choirs and small groups, and loved to sing duets with his wife, Maria. His missionary spirit was demonstrated by church planting in Russia, supporting and directing orphanages in South America, distributing tracts, and witnessing to everyone he met. For many years, Jan reached out through radio ministry that was broadcast locally and world-wide in the Russian language. Jan loved to venture into the great outdoors to go fishing, wild mushroom picking, and to enjoy God’s creation. He encouraged everyone with his life-long motto to “Keep looking up” Jan blessed many lives, touched many hearts, and helped many establish a relationship with Jesus Christ in their lives. Among the many who will miss him are three daughters, Anna (Don), Nellie, Irene (Gord), three sons Alex (Vera), Tom, Eugene (Marielle), eight grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren. He was pre-deceased by his mother Domna, father Efim, sister Maria, brothers Peter, Adam, and Gregory, granddaughter Katie, and his wife, Maria. Thanks to Dr. Hart, the staff at KGH, and the Hospice House for their caring support. Visitation and viewing will be held on Friday between 7 and 8 p.m with a funeral service on Saturday, November 26 at 10:00 a.m. both at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Kelowna Gospel Mission, the Salvation Army, Billy Graham Evangelical Association of Canada or the Hospice House, Kelowna.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.
