CLOSE-UP

Retired CFLers fondly relive their careers Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

s a kid growing up in Squamish, there wasn’t much else Lefty Hendrickson envisioned doing with his life. His daily thoughts were consumed with playing for the Canadian Football League’s B.C. Lions. “When I was in high school, we’d hitchhike down to Vancouver all the time and go to the games,” said Hendrickson. “All I wanted to do was play professional football. Back in those times, that’s what I did dream about. That was my goal, being there and playing with the Lions.” Following a stint at the University of Oregon in the mid-1960s, Hendrickson realized his childhood dream when he signed his first contract with the Lions for the 1968 season. Hendrickson made $5,500 his first year in the league, and $10,500 in the second. It was decent money for the era, but not the reason Hendrickson played the game. “A lot of guys just loved to play, and that’s why I did it, not to get rich,” said Hendrickson. “It was fun.” In the ‘60s and ‘70s, Hendrickson recalls the image and lure of the CFL being almost on par with that of the National Football League. Many top American

players migrated north to sign and play with Canadian teams as opposed to staying in the U.S. “The NFL didn’t have the big TV revenues they do now, so a lot of guys, really good players would come up here to make just as much as they did down there or more,” he said. “(Lions receiver) Jimmy Young was with Minnesota, but he came up here, signed and stayed here.” Hendrickson said the CFL game of the ‘60s and ‘70s also differed from today’s in that many players lived year around in the cities in which they played. “Back then a lot of guys stayed in the communities, stayed in Canada wherever they were from. Most of the guys worked, too, they had jobs outside of football. I even worked during the season selling cars. “You were in the community a lot, spoke at banquets and you got to know the people. That’s the way it was and we didn’t mind doing it.” On the field, Hendrickson had a healthy respect for virtually every one of his opponents, even if some of them made life somewhat miserable for him. Edmonton Eskimos lineman Dave Gasser was one such player. “Gasser would come up with his hands under your face mark, every play, and just rake you over,” Hendrickson recalled with a laugh.

“You knew it was coming, but he’d get you anyway. My eyes and face, all scratched up. So whenever you got at shot at him you took it, you didn’t feel bad about it.” Hendrickson played for the Lions from 1968 to 1971 before retiring in 1972 to dedicate more time to work and family. But twice he was coaxed out of retirement by Lions coach Eagle Keys. On failing knees he played both the 1973 and 1974 seasons before retiring for good. One personal highlight came in 1973 when he was named a Western Division all-star after catching 39 passes for 631 yards. Then in 2007, along with quarterback Joe Paopao, Hendrickson was installed on the Lions Wall of Fame. If Hendrickson has a regret about his CFL career, it would be the absence of a Grey Cup ring. However, in 2000, that dream was partially fulfilled as Hendrickson’s two sons, Scott and Craig, won a Grey Cup together with the B.C. Lions. “We went to the playoffs three times, but never even got to a Grey Cup,” said Hendrickson, who has lived in Kelowna since 1993. “That’s why I was so excited to see my boys win it. Looking back, that was actually the highlight of my career. Being in the locker room a lot with them, it was like reliving

Lion, with a copy of his rookie profile from the 1968 season. the times. It was great.” *** For the third time in five seasons, Chuck Liebrock found himself one win away from a trip to the Grey Cup. It was November 1972 and Liebrock’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers looked to be on the verge of winning the Western Conference final over the visiting Saskatchewan Roughriders. With the likes of Mini Mack Herron, Jim Thorpe and Don Jonas leading

the way, the Bombers finished first in the West that season and, to many, looked unbeatable. But a field goal in overtime by the Riders’ Jack Abendschan sent the Bombers Grey Cup aspirations crashing to earth. Little did Liebrock know at the time, he would never again come so close to the CFL’s ultimate prize. “It’s hard to remember what it feels like to be depressed but I know I was,” Liebrock said, nearly 40

years later at his home in Kelowna. “I just know I left everything on the field that day, sitting on the sidelines after the game was over and being totally spent. I hardly had enough strength to get to the dressing room.

“It’s almost like I wanted it to last so I could remember what it felt like. Of course, we always thought we were going to get back there…but we never did.” See CFLers A4

Chance to play pro football was a life changing experience CFLers from A3 Despite disappointments on the field and multiple injuries during his career, Liebrock said he wouldn’t trade in a minute of his steady, 11year CFL stint as an offensive guard. As memorable as the games won and lost were the lifelong friends Liebrock made along the way, some of whom were his opponents on other CFL teams, such as defensive lineman Dave Knechtel. “Dave and I were best friends, and we had some battles. We would

line up against each other and it would be very intense,” said Liebrock, who grew up in Windsor, Ont. “Nothing dirty, but very intense because you both played to win. It was all about pride. When the game was over, you’d shake hands. It was about respecting the other guy and the job he was trying to do.” As for the best player he faced, Liebrock counts good friend and CFL Hall of Famer John Helton near the top. “He was very quick, strong and had great football sense. He was tough to block.” After two seasons in

Toronto, Liebrock would play nine years in Winnipeg before retiring in 1978. Liebrock still follows the CFL closely and has watched with interest the many changes in the game over the last 30 to 40 years. One clear difference to Liebrock is the general conduct of the players. “There wasn’t the hot-dogging, jumping up and down, fist pumps and handsprings you see now,” Liebrock said. “It used to be guys would catch a touchdown pass, hand the ball to the ref and jog back to the bench.

ington State, Herron both dished out and received plenty of punishment over the course of his CFL career. It ultimately led to an early retirement for Herron who underwent five knee operations and eventually the loss of every cartilage in both knees. If given another chance, he would have played the game with far less physical abandon. “My biggest regret is that I wasn’t more mature when I played,” said Herron. “I would have learned how to stay out of harm’s way a little better. I was a hitter but I wouldn’t do it again. It would be more about defending the pass. I was beat up, the pounding shortened my career.” Still, Herron is grateful he remains relatively healthy, unlike a number of his teammates with the 1971 B.C. Lions. Of the 32 men on the roster that year, Herron said eight have died. Herron, 64, wouldn’t be surprised if the constant pounding to the head and resulting concussions were responsible for the deaths of many of his former teammates and opponents. “A lot of these guys were linemen who were banging their heads on pretty much every play,” Herron recalled. “It certainly affected the cognitive abilities of some of the guys I knew and played with. “There were lots of concussions back then, makes you wonder how much had to do with the contact. And if you look back at the Edmonton Eskimos, those Grey Cup teams of the ‘70s, a surprising amount of those guys are gone, too.” As for the Canadian Football League of today, Herron likes the product and considers himself a fan. “I have a preference to the CFL over the NFL now, the game is exciting, the quality of the player is

very good,” he said. “The Canadian athlete is much better trained than before, there are better minor and junior programs, more Canadians in division one football. “It’s a lot more exciting to watch than it was than a lot of points in time over the years.” *** For 14 years, few players made a bigger impact on the CFL playing field than John Helton. A nine-time all-Canadian, two-time outstanding defensive player, and CFL Hall of Fame inductee, the Pennsylvania native was renowned for his skill, toughness, and reputation for giving his all on every play. Yet, for all he accomplished as a defensive lineman with the Calgary Stampeders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers from 1969 through 1982, Helton isn’t overly sentimental or nostalgic when it comes to his CFL playing career. “To be remembered for my football really isn’t a big deal to me,” said Helton, now 64. “I felt like I was a manual labourer, football was my job. I played to win and liked to win, but that wasn’t what it was all about. It was more about doing the best work I could and contributing to the team. My goal was to be the best I could be and work hard every day.” Some of Helton’s hard work was responsible for the Stampeders Grey Cup victory in 1971. On a rainy November day in Vancouver’s Empire Stadium, Calgary beat the Toronto Argonauts 14-11. And while hoisting the Cup was a pleasant memory for Helton, it didn’t carry with it quite the elation and satisfaction he may have expected. “I remember sitting there after the game and telling my teammate Howard Starks, ‘Is that all there is,’” Hel-

“There was no hoobydoo for the TV cameras. But with TV and media today, I guess it’s a way for guys to get noticed.” Differences in the eras aside, Liebrock admits he still loves football, the game “that changed my life.” Today, he gives back to the game by coaching a minor football team, the Kelowna Lions. *** Gerry Herron ran across his share of characters during his brief Canadian Football League career. Perhaps none was more unique or memorable than one of his teammates with the 1970 B.C. Lions. “Our middle linebacker that year was Apollo Creed—Carl Weathers from the Rocky movie,” Herron said with a laugh. “He used to make us laugh. He used to say he was just too pretty for this game. He’d be in the huddle making cracks all the time. ‘I’m going to Hollywood,’ he’d say. Sure enough he became a helluva a star. Those are things you don’t forget.” Not surprisingly playing in the CFL wasn’t all laughs for Herron who played two seasons with the Lions 1970 and ‘71, and a third with the Calgary Stampeders in 1972. Herron, who grew up in Kelowna, likened the pro game of the era more to that of a war than a casual sporting event. “It was a culture that was hard to explain, very brutal, but still a very good culture,” Herron said. “It was success-oriented, you were basically warriors going into battle with each other, like comrades in a war. “The war started with three-a-days in training camp, and went on all season. You developed a bond with a group of people that wasn’t like anything in regular society you could describe.” A hard-hitting defensive back out of Wash-

ton said. “It felt like Cinderella at 12:01. It’s over now. It was better to win than lose, but that was it. We put our clothes on, went back to the hotel and enjoyed our evening. “I say that with no bad motive, just honesty. I’m grateful, don’t get me wrong, and I don’t say it to knock any player, any teammate, or team. That’s what it was for me, my personal experience.” Still, Helton acknowledges his 14 seasons in the CFL taught him many lessons about life in general, and had a big hand in determining the person he is today. “You get knocked down, you get up and you go again, that’s the best thing football ever taught me,” said Helton, who moved to Kelowna last year. “Don’t lay down, you get up dust yourself off and keep going…don’t allow fear from preventing you who you can be.” Helton still follows the CFL and enjoys watching the games, but is rarely nostalgic about his own career. His greatest joys today, he says, are his grandchildren, his children and his wife. As for the single biggest highlight of his CFL career, Helton points to his induction into the Hall of Fame in August 1985—not for the recognition of his own accomplishments, but because of the people who were there to share the experience with him. “My wife’s mother was still living, my mom and dad were still living, my brothers and sisters came, and my in-laws came, too,” Helton recalled. “Everybody who mattered was there, and I could say thank you to them for sharing my ride and being a part of it. “It’s best thing that ever happened. It was extra special.” whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

second all-candidates forum

24 per cent of the vote in 2008, said in order to attend election forums, she would have to take pain killers that would make her drowsy. Earlier this week, Ouellette, who missed two mayoral all-candidates forums on Wednesday, said her illness would not interfere with her duties if she was elected mayor. Despite her injury, Ouellette said she is staying in the race and has a Facebook page and a website with information about her campaign and contact information. She hopes to attend the all-candidates forum in Rutland next week.

The Westbank and District Chamber of Commerce will host the second of this year’s election forums for all candidates in West Kelowna. This upcoming forum, which will focus on economic and fiscal issues, takes place from 6 to 9 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 9, at the Westbank Lions Community Centre. Forum MC, Phil Johnson of AM 1150, will ask candidates a series of questions after each has had an opportunity to present his/her platform. “Each candidate will be given three minutes to discuss (his/her) economic vision for the District of West Kelowna,” said Al Davies, WDCC president. “The mayoral candidates will be asked more questions than the council candidates. Hopefully there will be enough time for each candidate to an-

swer a minimum of six questions, then there will be enough time at the end for the audience to ask questions.” Davies said the purpose of the event is to help educate voters, especially those from the business community. “Our goal with this forum is to have relevant, thoughtful presentations from candidates so members of our community can make informed decisions at the ballot box,” said Davies. The chamber has solicited questions from their membership and questions will cover various economic sectors in West Kelowna including agriculture, manufacturing, tourism and retail. “We have good races in West Kelowna for mayor and council. The more people can hear about what is happening and how the candidates think, (the better) for everyone,” said Davies.

More than 250 spectators watched four of the five mayoral candidates do their best to answer tough questions and sway potential voters on Wednesday evening at the Mary Irwin Theatre. The Mayoralty Faceoff, sponsored by CBC Radio and the Capital News, saw Walter Gray, Sharon Shepherd, Ken Chung and Cal Condy answer predetermined questions, each pose a question to their fellow candidates and respond to questions from the audience. The fifth mayoral candidate, Kim Ouellette, was unable to attend due to health reasons. Rebecca Zanbergen, of CBC Radio West and Alistair Waters, assistant editor of the Capital News, sat on the panel that

questioned the candidates. The panel didn’t hesitate to touch on controversial subjects as the opening question dealt with one of this election’s hottest issues: What can a city do to promote development and what is beyond a city’s control? Gray said that the mayor and council need to start by declaring that they are “open for business.” “If we can have investment in our community, we then start that cycle of prosperity. When that starts to happen, there’s confidence. When there’s confidence, there are jobs created. When there are jobs created, more people can afford housing. There are more taxes paid. Taxes then tend to be down, not up. No services have to be eliminated and we can start to have nice things, not just necessary things,” said Gray.

City in Action COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS Fintry Queen Relocation

Council directed staﬀ to proceed with the steps necessary to relocate the Fintry Queen to Sutherland Bay by the end of March, 2012. Council also directed any funds received from the eventual sale of the Fintry Queen be used to replace funds borrowed for the relocation from the Major Facilities Reserve fund.

Queensway Marina

Council directed staﬀ to issue a basic requirement Request for Proposal for the design, construction, operation and maintenance of a new marina facility at the foot of Queensway Avenue with options to address the Fintry Queen. Staﬀ will work with the successful proponent on the installation of a fuel storage tank at the marina.

Urban Forest Strategy

Staﬀ were directed by Council to form an implementation team to prioritize and establish timelines for a strategy to sustain Kelowna’s urban forest. Staﬀ will report back to Council with implementation strategy recommendations.

Cultural Plan

Staﬀ will move forward with non-monetary recommendations in the 2012-2017 Cultural Plan. Council directed staﬀ to return with recommendations from the plan during annual budget deliberations and as needs and opportunities arise.

Boat Launch Agreement

Council approved a three-year License to Use with Aqua Resort Ltd. for use of a section of the Cook Street Boat Launch and directed staﬀ to erect better signage and suﬃcient lighting on the City-owned portion of the property.

Shepherd answered by stating that the city is already being prepared to accept development through its Official Community Plan. “We have done a vision for 2030, that’s 20 years from now, where it has been defined where development is going to occur. It’s being able to accommodate mixed use development, it’s being able to accommodate institutional development, it’s being able to accommodate the residential development,” said Shepherd. Chung said that there are many different things that a city can do to promote development. “I am pro development, but not at the cost of our farm lands, our parks or our waterfront. I think we can utilize the existing properties better. (We) can create better density, more

community within community. We have five business centres that we can develop easily and enhance those areas,” said Chung. Condy said that he believes promoting development starts with bettering the infrastructure to the transit system. “We could work with the development groups to find out exactly the best patterns and systems to have for the buses to make sure that their new developments will be serviced in an appropriate matter,” said Condy. The last question posed by the panel asked what would you do to make Kelowna an inclusive place where everyone feels welcome, regardless of ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation or age? The question drew an outburst of applause from the audience.

Gray said that he wanted Kelowna to be an inclusive place and that he supports all people who “believe in themselves.” He also commented on a 1997 incident where Gray refused to issue a proclamation requested by the Pride committee. “I think I have to comment that I had, 14 years ago, a single issue incident concerning (this) very matter. I had to consider the greater community and not just those people asking for the proclamation. I don’t want to go into any depth, except to say that 14 years later, for all of those years I have regretted the hurt that occurred among that particular community,” said Gray. Shepherd said that her door is always open to anyone who wishes to See Forum A9

NEWS Forum from A8 meet with her. “It is open to someone that is homeless, it is open to a group, it is open to whatever age an individual is and whatever multicultural background that individual has. “I think by having an open door policy, it shows that I’m willing to talk about any issue, no matter what it is, in our community,” said Shepherd. Chung, who is half tAsian, said that his upbringing in East Vancouver showed him the potential of a multicultural area. “I saw some things there that really impressed me when I would see different community organrizations, such as the Elks club, throw on picnics and barbecues in one of the larger parks,” Chung said. “It wasn’t just for their organization, it was for the tneighbourhood and community. This past summer I saw the Fusion Festival, which was to bring the different cultures together. When you take a look at the community as a whole, you engage in the process.” Condy agreed with Chung that more activities are needed to bring the community together. “I’d like to see a gigan-

tic potluck dinner in City Park. I think we should make invitations to go out to everyone. The whole dream that is Canada and the reason the world envies us and loves us so much is because everybody is welcome here,” said Condy. The second round of questions allowed each mayoral candidate to ask any question to his/her fellow candidates. Shepherd used her question to quiz the other candidates on the Official Community Plan. She asked, “What do you feel are the most significant changes in the recently adopted Official Community Plan that sets the course for the next 20 years and how will you implement these changes?” Gray paused for a considerable amount of time and then replied, “I won’t be the mayor in 20 years, I can’t answer that question.” Condy said the question was a “humdinger.” He injected a bit of humour into the evening by saying that rather than making a bunch of stuff up, he’d rather look into it and call Shepherd back with the answer. Chung made more ef-

fort to answer the question, despite admitting that he’s not aware of all the things that have been brought into the OCP. “I’d be dedicated to understanding what changes have been implemented and why and then doing the best to meet all of those objectives,” Chung said. “Meeting those objectives is not always an easy thing to do in government. We have different obstacles, you never know what’s going to arise year to year. Simply put, I would do everything I can to (implement changes). With respect to Walter, I hope to be here in 20 years.” Gray took advantage of his opportunity to question the other candidates by asking if they thought it was realistic to contemplate a zero per cent tax increase for 2012 and if so, what service did they see being cut or eliminated to achieve the goal. Condy said that in order to not raise the taxes, a thorough accounting would have to be done. “We’ve got to look for wastage, we’ve got to look for over-spending, we’ve got to look for unnecessary spending. We have to basically cut where

Xtra Laundry Detergent we can if we don’t want to raise taxes. There’s no other way. It’s kind of a horse before the cart kind of question. I suggest slowing down on the spending,” said Condy. Chung said that he didn’t believe that it was realistic to see a zero per cent tax increase. “I do believe, however, that we’re able to impact a smaller increase by finding creative ways to increase our revenue,” said Chung. Shepherd said contemplating a zero per cent tax increase may be difficult, but it is realistic. “We have challenged our staff to come to as close to zero as possible. That means that they have had to go in and scrutinize all the things that have been done in the past, the way they’ve been done, and look to how things can be done more efficiently. I think it’s a good way to do business,” said Shepherd. The third round allowed a few audience members to ask questions of their own. Although the candidates had differing, and at times conflicting, views of how the city should be run, they all reiterated the importance of community members getting educated and going to the polls.

Responses show that challengers for mayor’s job are not up to date on city business To the editor: I attended the mayoralty debate at the Mary Irwin Theatre Wednesday evening, and I was not alone in being disappointed by the other candidates answers (or rather, lack of them) to Sharon Shepherd’s question: “What do you feel are the most significant changes in the recently adopted OCP (Kelowna Official Community Plan) that sets the course for the next 20 years, and how will you implement these changes?” These are important questions, but not one other mayoral candidate was even remotely familiar enough with the plan to seriously answer them, even to the slightest degree.

Turns out they are. The Greek government estimates that at least half a million nationals have departed over the past 10 years, and more are on their way out. And it’s not as though they’re bringing a nation’s tax-dodging ways with them. Those leaving are young, educated and willing to work. Australia, where skilled immigrants are desperately wanted, has already benefitted from the exodus. Jobs in health care, engineering, construction and automotive and mechanical trades are being filled by Greeks galore. Now Hellenic centres around Canada are apparently overrun by emigration inquiries. This strikes me as a fairly fortuitous turn of events for a country that’s constantly lamenting the impact of a silver tsunami wiping out its future. We’ve heard over and over again how Canada

is going to tank in years to come thanks to aging baby boomers. The newest instalment of dire prognostications was released Thursday from the Macdonald-Laurier Institute. It said the amount of Canadian government debt in comparison to the size of the economy will rise to almost 100 per cent by 2040 from less than 50 per cent now, under current public spending trends. The unsustainable public debt is the result of mass retirements of baby boomers leading to fewer workers to create economic growth and more demand on government spending for things like health care. It’s a dire outlook that begs the question, couldn’t the answer to the silver tsunami be found in a bronze flood? Kathy Michaels is a reporter for the Capital News. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

LETTERS ▼ MENTAL HEALTH

Overcoming stigma needs media support To the editor: On Oct. 18, the Canadian Mental Health Association, Kelowna branch, had the privilege of seeing over 120 citizens of Kelowna come together in support of the Ride Don’t Hide world tour, battling the stigma and discrimination associated with mental illness. In August 2010, Michael Schratter, a Grade 5 teacher from Vancouver who grew up here in the Okanagan, began his global dream of cycling 40,000 km around the world. His mission was to circumnavigate the world sharing stories with people in different countries, and in doing so, bring attention and awareness to the stigma surrounding mental illness. When we learned several months ago that the Ride

Don’t Hide tour was coming through the Okanagan, we didn’t have to look far to find Kelowna citizens willing to sign up to support him. As we reflect on the event that just passed, there are two things that are particularly noteworthy. The first was the unprecedented and positive response of Kelowna’s business community who rose up and used their voices and their resources to stand with the Canadian Mental Health Association in this campaign. This event was a success because so many people and their businesses made the effort to do something that will make a difference. Michael’s goal of raising $100,000 for child and youth mental health

initiatives will likely be achieved and his dream of raising awareness about mental illness has certainly created buzz through social media and word of mouth. However, our local media did not step up. There was a glaring lack of media despite significant efforts to get them on-board. While we acknowledge and are grateful for the media who helped to promote the Kelowna Reception for Michael (most notably, Castanet, CBC radio, Global Okanagan, AM1150 and Q103.1FM), we remain disappointed that our local media did not take advantage of the opportunity to come to celebrate Michael’s incredible global achievement and be a part of reducing the stigma about mental illness,

which impacts every single Canadian whether we are aware of it or not. Mental illness directly impacts over seven million Canadians. That’s one in five. However, everyone knows a friend, family member or colleague who has needlessly suffered with mental illness. It’s astounding to know that approximately 50 per cent of those who have mental health issues never seek treatment because of the stigma surrounding the illness. The sad fact is that most people experience a full and productive life with effective treatment and supports. Mental illness is one of the last taboos of our society. In 2011, people will freely talk about almost anything, but where mental health issues are

concerned there are still unacceptable levels of fear and ignorance. We can actually do something about this. Events like Ride Don’t Hide and talking to guys like Michael Schratter creates such a powerful message about why this cause is so critical. Thank you to everyone who is willing to talk about mental health and mental illness as two ends of the same continuum. On behalf of the board, staff, volunteers and participants of CMHA’s programs and services, thank you to those who supported Michael Schratter and RideDontHide.com.

someone in government appear arrogant towards you (authority)? Have you ever heard a politician say, “No comment” (classified)? Have you ever dealt with a person in government that left you feeling powerless to deal with a challenge or problem (power)? I am betting that I’m not alone in my experience of these political workings. Leadership is a quality that is rare and valuable! By definition leadership is: The capacity to lead. That’s it. Simple. So what does lead mean? Lead: To direct on a course or in a direction. That’s it. Simple. Is it just me, or is there a big difference be-

tween the size of the paragraph defining politics and the paragraph defining leadership? Is it possible for a person to be both a politician, and a leader? How can one “direct on a course or in a direction” if operating with the qualities assigned to the word politics? Not very effectively would be my guess. Sorting through the differences between the politicians and the “leaders” in an election is easy when you know what to look for. I mentioned in a letter to the editor not too long ago that we have quality candidates to choose from in the coming election. By quality, I mean leaders. The trick is to identify them and then vote for them. Kelowna is screaming

for leadership. I also mentioned that we have a unique opportunity to shape the future of Kelowna in a positive way if we will just get out and vote for the leaders. To me, that future will require nine leaders sitting on council, all pulling in the same direction—one mayor and eight councilors. One team. I have sifted through the list of candidate names, researched backgrounds along with platforms, taken the time to meet and question candidates of interest, and come up with a team of leaders that I would like to see take Kelowna into that positive future. I am prepared to vote today. How’s your list coming? Bob Purdy, Kelowna

Mayoralty candidates lacking Express yourself To the editor: Shame on the mayoralty challengers for not doing their homework. At a public forum on Nov. 2, sponsored by Capital News and CBC, candidates had the opportunity to pose a question to the others. When asked by incumbent Sharon Shepherd to comment on the 15 changes to the Official Community Plan that will

guide the city for the next 20 years, none of the three mayoralty candidates could answer. Obviously, they have not prepared for the role of mayor or even given the OCP a cursory glance. Walter Gray should be ashamed of his cavalier position, that the OCP is so thick that no one could memorize it and because he won’t be mayor in 20 years he didn’t have to an-

To the editor: Politics drive me crazy! By definition politics are; a) The art or science of government b) The art or science concerned with guiding and influencing a government c) The art or science concerned with winning and holding control over a government d) to deal with people in an opportunistic, manipulative, or devious way. To be fair, I have been selective in picking these definitions from the dictionary. To really understand politics, a definition of government is also required: The organization, machinery, or agency through which a political unit exercises authority and performs functions and which is usually classified according to the dis-

Basin Water Board’s program of harvesting the non-native invasive Eurasian water milfoil could be put at risk. The Rocky Mountain Ridged Mussel is under consideration by the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans for listing under the Species At Risk Act as endangered because populations have declined in recent years. At Tuesday’s monthly meeting of the OBWB, executive director Anna Warwick Sears reported that little is known about the biology of the mussel and substantial commitments would be needed from senior government to address primary threats to the species. For instance, she noted that the invasive zebra and quagga mussels are threatening the Okanagan’s system of lakes, and they would present a significant threat to the native mussel, as does other foreshore disturbances. She said she is appalled at the federal government even considering the designation when they haven’t even decided to set aside the money to come up with a plan of how to protect the mussel.

“There are more flexible ways to help prevent their extinction,” she said. Board chairman Stu Wells said if milfoil is not rototilled at the north end of Osoyoos Lake, that end of the lake would be choked out. The board agreed to send a letter to relevant senior government departments with its concerns regarding the impact such a declaration could have on milfoil control and tourism if a SARA designation is made. The letter will also suggest that funding be made available instead to study the mussel and determine the cause of its decline in population. The Okanagan is the only location RMRM occurs in Canada, noted Sears, who said she is normally in favour of listing species that are at risk. However, in this case, she said, there is simply not enough information available to be sure this is the best route to take. Uncontrolled growth of the milfoil could also pose a risk to survival of this species of mussel, she added. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

WORDSMITH

Jennifer Smith tary, I always remember him through this one comical speech he gave to a group of bureaucrats. The event was a luncheon launching the KickStart “Take the Stairs” program, and the story Gray told at the reception was about how much he enjoyed the first escalator Kelowna had installed. To the uninitiated it was a little bizarre, though certainly a funny, lighthearted moment. To the rest of my coworkers, it was simply a typical Walterism. Always the affable host, he was famous for putting a certain shine on the business, development

approach and the Conservative values that Kelowna was famous for embodying. But the image that was once his ace in the whole, is making his attempt to re-enter politics more difficult. This week, for example, one more of Gray’s more serious gaffes reared its head when a politically-attune graffiti artist sprayed rainbows across his campaign office. Aside from his silver tongue, Gray is famous for eliminating the word “pride” from a Gay Pride proclamation. The error brought him before a human rights tribunal, earned Kelowna a national reputation for its attempt to proclaim Gay Day and forever seems to have married the Gray name to the pride cause as fall-out from the incident in 2000 persists. While not accepting guilt, per se, the former

mayor now says he is sorry that so many people were hurt by the incident. Given the continentwide attempt to deal with the bullying, victimization and the stigma associated with being anything other than straight, one has to wonder how this will wash. One hesitates to call the number of public suicides by homosexual youth an epidemic—surely, these events have occurred for decades without the collective spotlight—but the sad stories now peppering the news have certainly generated attention to the issue. To be fair, Gray was elected to a third term after he tried to make Gay Day a less proud affair; but in an era where one of the country’s most pithy political commentators and comics, Rick Mercer, can demand gay politicians out themselves to support gay youth, it will be interesting to see

Major Announcement from Marshall’s Home Furnishings To our Past, Present and Future Customers, It gives me great pleasure to announce Marshall’s Home Furnishings has just signed a new lease at our current location in Banks Centre. It is hard to believe almost 5 years have passed since we opened our Broyhill Gallery! We are grateful for all the support we have had from our community. Today we not only carry Broyhill, which is synonymous with quality, but we also are exclusive dealers for manufacturers like Thomasville, Drexel Heritage, Lane, Lexington, Elite Leather, Stylus, Simmons and so many more well-known furniture brands. Along with the signing of our new lease has come a new vision of what we want our store to become in the future. We take pride in being able to serve the Interior with better quality home furnishings, while not losing sight of what is affordable for all people to purchase and enjoy. It is with anticipation that I announce we are going to have the BIGGEST sale in our company’s history. We will be undergoing a massive renovation to the store but before we undertake this project we must liquidate our complete lineup of home furnishings and home décor. Therefore, I have authorized the deepest discounts ever offered on our complete inventory.

So, if you haven’t been to visit us for a while, now is the time to come in, say hello, and take advantage of some great savings storewide. This sale is for a very limited time and as soon as everything is sold, our store will close for about three weeks so that we may facilitate the necessary renovations.

y coworker was driving down Harvey the other day, looked up and saw a rather unusual take on how to use the pedestrian overpass. One-time Kelowna mayor Walter Gray had his supporters out literally waving the flag for his mayoral campaign during rush hour, almost causing said coworker to drive off the road. It was likely the first time the sight of Walter Gray has ever caused anyone to veer into oncoming traffic and immediately began to conjure humorous images. “Somebody should call the LGTB crowd and tell them there was an invitation to do some flag waving literally hanging in the air,” I said. “It could be a duel—the rainbows versus the true blues.” Gray was always an interesting character in my memory.

THE ARAB SPRING PROVED THE WORLD IS TRULY FLAT. IT LED THE WAY IN SHOWING THE WORLD THAT NEW REVOLUTIONS DON’T NEED A SINGLE LEADER. Meir Javedanfar, Middle East analyst

But continual financial hardships in the Middle East created the conditions for an uprising. “There has been a lot of dissatisfaction in those countries,” he said. “For people, they want to have the economic benefits that allow them to house and feed their families.” That simple reality is putting democracy in a backseat to the economy. Saudi Arabia, for example, had its first municipal elections, due to the Arab Spring. “This was a major watershed in Saudi politics, but the turnout was extremely low,” he said. “People just want better economic conditions. It goes to show that president Clinton was right with his 1992 campaign slogan—‘it’s the economy, stupid.’” And a successful econ-

omy, he explained, is reliant on a corruption-free government. “People see corruption and they think it’s a hindrance to economic growth,” he said, noting that this is the common ground for many countries that are struggling today. “The reason why Greek people are in the streets is because they have low confidence in the politicians. They’re saying austerity measures are all well and good but we’re the ones who are going to suffer. The politicians are going to do very nicely and continue with corruption.” To rebuild public faith in government, he said, corruption should be viewed as serious a charge as holding weapons of mass destruction. “We need to punish corrupt leaders like we punish the leadership and governments of countries who are illegally producing weapons of mass destruction,” he said. “Every year the United Nations could list the 20 most corrupt countries and say their leaders cannot travel abroad, cannot land in any airports and cannot have any bank account in any other country.” That, he said, would offer a deterrent to a behaviour that’s led to more deaths than weapons ever have.

Although his aim was to update locals on what’s happening in the Middle East, he explained that there’s a growing distaste for government corruption in all nations, and the protests it’s sparked is wearing away at geo-political boundaries. The Arab Spring, he said, started in December 2010, and rolled across the region. Its impact, however, was not just in Arab countries, but in Israel where 450,000 Israelis demonstrated for better economic conditions. “Now it’s reached the (Occupy) Wall Street movement,” said Javedanfar. “The Arab Spring proved the world is truly flat. It led the way in showing the world that new revolutions don’t need a single leader. You can have a revolution with a collective leadership found on the platform of Facebook and Twitter.” Not one political expert could have predicted that thousands of protestors would take to the streets to speak out against the conditions that led one Tunisian man to light himself on fire, he said. Nor could they have predicted the movement would continue for as long as it did.

OUTDOORS

Frustration is no excuse for hunters to be poaching

’m getting the impression there are a lot of frustrated hunters out there this year, but shooting at game that’s not in season is no way to vent your feelings. There have been way too many incidents of poaching this year, particularly of moose around the Okanagan, and there’s absolutely no excuse for it. It’s exciting to see one of the big animals, but don’t shoot at it unless you’ve first put the scope or the binoculars on it to make sure it’s only a spike fork, not a cow with funny ears or a larger bull. Despite a lovely fall during which it’s been a delight to tramp through the forest in the back country around Kelowna, many have not found it to be a productive hunting season locally. Those who headed up north or into the Kootenays seem to have had

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves more success, but even the conservation officers who set up road checks on back roads here say they haven’t seen a lot of game go through. Last weekend, they were on the Westside, along Bear Main and said they checked 65 hunters and only four mule deer. They were pleased to find that most were in compliance with the regulations. However, I’m not sure how they can enforce regulations when there aren’t any Management Unit signs left on even the main back roads. I know the ministry has been decimated by budget cuts in re-

cent years, but that’s ridiculous. I’m told there’s a move afoot for local fish and game clubs to fund and maintain the signs that tell you which fish and wildlife management unit you’re in, but I find it hard to believe funding can’t be done for such a basic activity so we can enforce the laws we have in place to protect fish and game. I shouldn’t be surprised though when other resource ministries also rely on “best management practices” to protect the environment instead of independent monitoring by government of the companies using our natural resources. Conservation officers also found a rarity this week in the valley bottom—a grizzly bear or two have wandered in to scrounge for fruit in the orchards and vineyards, alongside the black bears

we’ve come to expect at this time of year, as they fatten up for hibernation. CO Terry Myroniuk made quite an amazing discovery though when he snared that grizzly last weekend in Lake Country: it had four webbed paws, along with the typical long, curved claws of the grizzly bear. He was also not just tipped with blond hairs as grizzlies frequently are, he was actually blond on his back and face with darker legs: quite beautiful. Here’s hoping that he’ll take his relocation to heart. The last time we trapped a grizzly in Kelowna and relocated him, he made his way right back down into the valley again the next year, surfacing in a chicken coop in Naramata where he

caused considerable damage and was shot.

NEWS Search for black SUV

Police are looking to the public for help to locate a vehicle that knocked a woman through a glass

window at the 7-Eleven store on Bernard Avenue. The incident occurred on Oct. 19, at 2:28

THE COMFORT I WANT

a.m., when a newer model black SUV intentionally reversed, striking the 23-year-old female victim and forcing her through the front window of the store. The vehicle quickly left after the incident and the woman, who is from Kelowna, was taken to hospital for treatment for moderate injuries. Police believe a verbal altercation may have

precipitated the incident and some people outside the store, believed to be associated to the vehicle ran off on foot after the vehicle left. Police have exhausted all avenues of investigation and ask that if anyone has any information about his incident to call Kelowna RCMP at 250-7623300 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Holding the line on U.S. demands for valley water flow Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

The International Joint Commission will be receiving a letter from the Okanagan recommending it not change the terms of the operating orders on cross-boundary Osoyoos Lake to include a require-

ment that certain flows of water be maintained into Washington State from this valley. Since the Okanagan is a cross-boundary water basin and that lake straddles the border, an international body meets to decide on the management of the lake’s level.

MECHANICAL A.R. DYCK

Current orders governing that are up in 2013 and the IJC is currently informing itself with eight scientific reports on various aspects on the lake’s operation in order to renew the orders. Five were written by local scientists, including hydrogeologist Brian

Guy, hydrologist Don Dobson and engineer Jim Mattison, formerly the province’s comptroller of water rights. They presented a report to the Okanagan Basin Water Board at this week’s meeting, recommending the OBWB ask the IJC not to include lake

Automation of the gate operation and better communication with B.C. dam operators could also improve the current situation, they recommend. Directors on the OBWB agreed with West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater that the report

should be sent to the IJC, along with a letter from the board concurring with the recommendations. As well, he said it should be sent to relevant federal and provincial government officials. “We’re all local government officials and water providers and this would affect us. The letter should say we’re in substantial agreement with the report,” he said. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

The 2010 event featured 36 vendors; nearly 50 have already signed up for this year’s market. The Christmas Market will feature a variety of local artisans, crafters and bakers. A couple volunteer singers will belt out Christmas carols to get guests in the holiday spirit.

Looking for Cod Gone patients ▼ MUSIC

Wild to play the Minstrel Cafe Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Break out the Screech before heading to the Minstrel Café this weekend, a favourite local Celtic band returns with another new look. Started by Newfoundland migrant Andrew Mercer shortly after his arrival in the Okanagan, the band has already been through a couple of different musicians and is trying out two more. “It’s one of those things,” said Mercer. “A band is a team and a band is a business and it takes a while to find the right people that are going to be the right fit.” As such, fiddle player Anjuli Otter, just back from India, has joined the group and is improvising her way along as she learns their set. Before leaving for India to join Symphony Orchestra India she earned a Royal Conservatory music degree and played as a sessional musician with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra. “My dad is from India originally and I always wanted to travel and explore the place,” she said. Five years in, it was time to return to the Okanagan, where she received a call from the Cod Gone Wild crew, still on tour in Newfoundland. Roy Kawano has taken over the base and said he joined the group more or less on a trial basis having never done Celtic before; although he’s spent plenty of time playing throughout the valley. The group will make their debut at the Minstrel Café tonight (Friday), Nov. 4, at 8 p.m. ($5 entertainment charge) then immediately head out on a small tour in Alberta. , When they return, the group will press their second CD, Cod Gone Wild Volume 2.

Interested in training the next generation of doctors? The UBC Faculty of Medicine Southern Medical Program is recruiting

quirements to participate. Volunteer patients range from youth to elderly, from completely healthy, to having a heart murmur,

to living with chronic disease or illness. Volunteer patients receive a $20 reimbursement to help offset any

travel or parking related costs. For more information call 250-980-1329 or register online at www. smp.med.ubc.ca.

Inhabiting the genius that was Buddy Holly Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

What’s the difference between Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly? Ask Clark Kent, actor Zachary Stevenson jokes. Throw on a pair of horn-rimmed glasses and place a guitar in his hand and the rockabilly pioneers are one in the same to the average person’s memory, he claims. “It’s almost like Superman. You put on the glasses, nobody will recognize you,” Stevenson said. From that point, nail-

ing his character is about hitting the body language and personal foibles that make Holly real and Stevenson has a bit of a personal interest in understanding these sorts of details. Dubbed the “dead ringer for dead singers” by reporters, he’s played Presley and Hank Williams, worked on Back to You, the story of Canadian country singer Lucille Starr, and walked in Jerry Lee Lewis’s shoes. This month, he tours the province as Buddy Holly in the biggest Arts

Club Theatre production of the year, Buddy: The Buddy Holly Show, which promises to be a major production. Seen by over 20 million people, the musical was written by Alan Janes, who received a nomination for an Olivier Award for Best Musical for the work. Naturally, the production tells the full story of Charles Hardin Holley’s life, a Lubbock, Tex., country singer who went to an Elvis concert and caught a bug for rock-androll like no other. But for

those worried it might be a bit of a downer—Holly died in a plane crash, after all—Stevenson says he absolutely promises the audience walks away with more of an uplifting feeling. Stevenson caught the bug for acting and singing young and never really gave up on either craft. While he earned a theatre degree, locals may also recognize him from his work with his band, Human Statues. The band is basically a songwriting partnership between Steven-

son and friend Jeff Bryant and has been through Kelowna playing venues like Habitat. The pair will set out on tour with The Good Lovelies, of Toronto, once this 44-show, B.C.wide Holly adventure is through; although Stevenson’s head is still very much in Holly’s life story at the moment. Stevenson says his favourite part of the musical is probably the Appollo scene. Booked to play New York’s historic Apollo Theatre with his band,

The Crickets, Holly literally rocked the nation by winning over the all-black audience—they were the only white band touring black theatres in the U.S. at the time and it was a very tough sell. “They eventually won the audience over because the music was so infec-

tious,” said Stevenson, noting the line-up includes popular hits like Peggy Sue, Not Fade Away, Oh Boy! and Words Of Love. Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story shows Nov. 10 at the Kelowna Community Theatre. Tickets are available by calling 1-877-299-1644.

Ok Rockets host first place Cariboo Cougars this weekend Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

The Okanagan Rockets will find out this weekend how they match up against the top team so far this year in the B.C. Major Midget League. The Rockets host the first place Cariboo Cougars for a pair of games at the Capital News Centre in Kelowna this weekend looking to establish itself as a top team in the 11 team league. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the weekend where we want to show our character against the top team in the league,â&#x20AC;? said Rocketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; coach James Eccles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a huge weekend in the standings for us. We want to prove that we are going to be a contender in this league.â&#x20AC;? The Rockets head into the weekend a game above the .500 mark at 5-4-1 while the Cougars sit atop the pack at 8-3-1. Okanagan has two games in hand on the Cougars and will be looking to ele-

vate into the top six spots in the BCMML from where they currently sit, in seventh place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cariboo is a big

over the Christmas holiday and the top six teams in the BCMML are auto-

matically entered into the event. If you sit outside of the top six in late

November, teams have to be granted an exemption to play in the Macs tournament, considered one of the top midget tournaments in North America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Playing in the Macs is a huge opportunity,â&#x20AC;? said team manager David Michaud. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get that opportunity youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re missing out . If you look at the standings right now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re one of five teams all separated by a couple points. Every weekend has some pretty significant meetings. We want to go on a run in the next couple of weeks.â&#x20AC;? Last season the Rockets were 0-for-4 against the Cariboo Cougars and this year the team has split each of its last four weekend meetings in the BCMML. Eccles says the up and down play so far this year is a sign of the early season struggles of a new team with a new coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a new coach, new structure and new atmosphere,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been

a little balancing act and guys are buying into the new program. When we have taken a game off and not respected our opposition, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost.â&#x20AC;? Rockets captain Josh Ellis is leading the way for Okanagan offensively as he sits seventh in BCMML scoring with 15 points in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first 10 games. Mitchell Cook has chipped in with 13 points. Eccles says players on the Rockets are all pulling in the same direction, which makes for a cohesive team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very pleased with the acceptance and the contributions of each and every player this year,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is on the same page of how we want to play with hard work, determination and respect.â&#x20AC;? The Rockets and Cougars play at 3 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday at the Capital News Centre. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Warriors see a trade, a scholarship A couple of Kelowna hockey products saw their futures in hockey change this week as one secured a scholarship and the other was traded as the Westside Warriors continue to be very active. A week ago Tyler Krause was wondering what his future in hockey was going to hold. Now the 20-year-old Kelowna Minor Hockey product can forget about the future and focus on his final season with the Westside Warriors. Krause has committed to attend Bentley University, an NCAA Division I school next season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been waiting a long time for this

so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty excited,â&#x20AC;? said Krause. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great school and a great hockey program. I went down on a fly-down and it blew me away. I fell in love with the school.â&#x20AC;? Krause is in his fourth season with the Warriorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; organization having played all of his junior in West Kelowna. The 6-foot, 180 pound forward has nine goals and 11 assists in the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first 14 games this season after putting up 42 points in 47 games last year. Krause becomes the fifth member of the current Westside roster to commit to an NCAA program joining Izaak Berglund, Michael King,

Connor Dempsey and Garrett Skrbich. Meanwhile earlier in the week the Warriors shipped local product Brayden Sherbinin to Vancouver Island in a one-forone trade with the Cowichan Valley Capitals. Sherbinin, 18, was in his second full season with the Warriors before being dealt to the Capitals for 19-year-old defenceman Josh Monk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To get something you have to give something,â&#x20AC;? said Warriors coach/GM Rylan Ferster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were looking for exactly a Brayden Sherbinin-type of player: A guy that can move the puck up the ice and work on their power

play. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to thank Brayden for the contributions heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s made to the program on and off the ice.â&#x20AC;? Sherbinin moves to hockey-mad Duncan to join the Capitals already with his future plans secured. The Kelowna native has a scholarship commitment to Quinnipiac for 2013. In Monk the Warriors acquired a player originally recruited by Ferster to play in Salmon Arm. The Langley native is considered a well rounded defenceman who has 11 points in 12 games so far this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He can play both ends of the rink very well and adds a ton of charac-

Locals reap the benefits Ten former Kelowna Rockets and a handful of Kelowna minor hockey products are getting their education through hockey playing at Canadian post secondary institutions under the Western Hockey League Scholarship fund. The figures were released by the WHL this week when commissioner Ron Robison announced that a total of 300 WHL graduate players have been awarded WHL scholarships for the 2011-12 academic year. The WHL scholarship recipients are enrolled as full-time students in 71 different post-secondary institutions throughout North America. Former Rockets Colin Joe (Edmonton), Dylan Hood (Calgary), Dylan Tait and Craig Cuthbert (Lethbridge), Chris Ray (Waterloo), Zak Stebner (Saskatchewan), Lucas Bloodoff (St. Mary’s), Riley McIntosh (Lakehead) and Chris Ray (Waterloo) are all at CIS schools, the highest level of Canadian university hockey. Also hitting the ice

in the CIS this season is Kelowna product Daniel Medland-Marchen, a former Kamloops Blazer playing at the University of Calgary, while West Kelowna’s Scott Wasden is playing at UBC. At the lower levels of Canadian college hockey, Kyle St. Denis is playing at Comosun College while Okanagan College’s hockey team has several former WHL players on it. Kelowna natives Spencer Fraipont, Steven Kajic and Marc MacKenzie along with Summerland’s Sasha Golin all skate for the OC Coyotes under the WHL program. Former Kamloops Blazer and Westside Warrior Brady Mason, a West Kelowna native, also skates with OC under the WHL plan. Among Canada’s post secondary institutions, the University of Saskatchewan leads the way with 33 WHL graduates enrolled in full time studies while 28 former WHL players are registered at the University of Alberta in Ed-

The University of Calgary has 25 former WHL players enrolled, the University of Lethbridge has 16 WHL graduates, the University of Regina has 15 and the University of British Columbia in Vancouver 11 WHL graduates enrolled in full time studies. Administered by the WHL office, the WHL scholarship is solely funded by the member clubs of the WHL. This season WHL clubs will contribute $1.6 million to graduates utilizing the WHL scholarship, according to the WHL. “The WHL and our 22 member clubs are very proud to be the leading provider of hockey scholarships in Western Canada,” said Robison. “The WHL takes great pride in continuing to provide our current and graduate players with the most comprehensive education and scholarship program available in North America today.” All players who play in the WHL are eligible to receive the WHL scholarship. For every season a player plays in the WHL, they receive a full year guaranteed WHL scholarship, including tuition, textbooks and compulsory fees, to a post-secondary institution of their choice. In addition, over 100 current WHL players are receiving financial assistance to enroll in post secondary classes while playing in the WHL, including 75 studying at the Athabasca University. The WHL and Athabasca University have partnered to offer, through online and other distance education vehicles, fully accredited university courses to any WHL player interested in further pursuing postsecondary studies while playing in the WHL. Since 1993, the Western Hockey League has awarded more than 4,300 Scholarships to graduate players, representing a contribution of more than $13.5 million. The WHL Scholarship is a fully guaranteed academic scholarship with no requirement to play university hockey to qualify, and the student athlete can apply the funding to any post-secondary program of his choice.

Rutland gets another taste of pro wrestling this month In November, Kelowna is facing several local

elections but professional wrestling is no stranger

to its own brand of backstage politics.

Big West Wrestling’s inaugural event on Remembrance Day at Rutland Centennial Hall is currently bogged down in tape as red as a field of poppies: all because of the NWA Canadian Title. Shortly after it was announced online (bigwestwrestling.com) that reigning Canadian Champion Tony Baroni would be defending his title against Adam Ryder in the main event on Nov. 11, Baroni’s representatives insisted that the title match would not be happening. Citing National Wrestling Alliance guidelines, Big West Wrestling was told that since they are not a member of the NWA blanket organization, Big West couldn’t possibly host an NWA Title match. Despite NWA World Heavyweight Champion, Adam Pearce, currently defending the organization’s most prominent title around the globe (for both NWA and non-NWA wrestling promotions), officials for NWA Canada were quick to back the claims of their brash and outspoken young champion. While it goes without saying that the NWA Canadian title has already been defended in Kelowna back in February (at another non-NWA event), it should also be noted that since Baroni’s last title defense was Oct. 28 in Surrey, the champion has the customary 30-day window before being required to defend his title again. Big West Wrestling was quick to respond, announcing that Vance Nevada will replace Baroni in the main event of the Nov.

ERIN SCHULTE/CONTRIBUTED

ADAM RYDER, with a headlock on Vance Nevada, will face the veteran wrestler on Nov.11 at the Rutland Centennial Hall. 11 It’s All About Respect card in Rutland. A former NWA Canadian champion himself, Nevada is, ironically, set to battle Adam Pearce for the NWA World Heavyweight Title on Nov. 26 in Red Deer, Alberta at— you guessed it—a nonNWA event. Also a former twotime ASW Trans-Canada Champion and author of the best-selling Wrestling In The Canadian West, Nevada was dedicated to returning national touring prestige to the NWA Canadian Title when he was champion for the latter half of 2006; after being defended from B.C. to the Maritimes during that span, the NWA Canadian Title has since become exclusive to three or four Lower Mainland towns during the past five years. Ryder and Nevada are no strangers to each other,

having battled beside and against each other all across Canada the past several years. There is no doubt this match on Nov. 11 will be nothing short of a thrilling and intense showdown. And while the Kelowna fans and “Mr. Beefy Goodness” don’t necessarily see eye-to-eye, the town has hosted several of the 14-year wrestling veteran’s recent career milestones: in 2009 Nevada wrestled his 1,200th career match at the Rutland Centennial Hall, and last month he also wrestled the 1,400th match of his career here. Also set to see action is The Mauler, who is returning to active competition after a year’s hiatus from the squared circle. The fearsome and face-painted Mauler always gets a great reaction when he’s in Rutland. Kelowna’s Marty (Mad Dog)

Sugar will be a game day decision to wrestle, after suffering facial injuries on October 14 in Rutland at the hands of KC Andrews. Big West will be providing free admission to all active and retired military personnel on Nov. 11, in honour of Remembrance Day. General Admission tickets are $10, and $5 for children 13 and under. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. with the show starting at 8 p.m. Advance tickets are available at Maggie’s Cafe, Valley Pawnbrokers, Fernando’s Taqueria, Sturgeon Hall, Players Choice Sportscards & Collectibles, and the Rutland Flea Market. All military personal are kindly asked to pick up their free tickets at the Rutland Centennial Hall, when the doors open the night of the show.

NEWS â&#x2013;ź CIVIC ELECTION

Registering your vote is expression of democratic values I f youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve left your house any time in the last three weeks, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve probably seen the numerous campaign signs for this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal election. When I was younger, I related the size of a candidateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign sign to their competence as a leader. Thankfully, I have been taught since that there is a little more depth than this to politics, and the more I learn, the more interesting and relevant it becomes. However, there still seems to be a sense of apathy and detachment in our society when it comes time to vote. This contrasts starkly with other countries around the world, such as Libya and Egypt, where people have fought passionately and given their lives for the right to vote, and continue to do so. We are blessed to live

CONNECTING WITH YOUTH

Amber Krogel in a country where we are not imprisoned or beaten when we voice our opinions and concerns with government, and instead are encouraged to do so. So why donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we? The notion that our vote doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter or that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the power to change anything seems to be widespread, but this simply does not fit in with reality. This year we have seen displeasure with the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s introduction of HST turn into a petition to return to the GST/PST system. This petition started with one man taking the initiative to voice many

peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dissatisfaction, resulting in a provincewide vote and finally, the abolishment of HST. Whether or not HST should have been done away with is not the point; the fact that the publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings against it and the action taken resulted in a change of government policyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a clear example of the clout Canadians have to influence politics. In Jack Laytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final letter to Canadians, he speaks specifically to young people about the power we have to â&#x20AC;&#x153;change this country and this world.â&#x20AC;? Layton is recognized even by those with differing political views from him as someone who was involved with politics because of his deep-seated values, not because of a desire for money or power in the way that fits in with the stereotypical â&#x20AC;&#x153;slimyâ&#x20AC;? politician. He reminded Cana-

dians of what gets lost amidst all the electioneering and intricate legislatureâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that our involvement in politics should be an expression of our values and beliefs about how the world should be. When you feel compassion for a homeless person that you see in downtown Kelowna, what course of action do you think the government should take to help them? As a student, how do you think the government can improve our educational system? Even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not eligible to vote yet, you can still get involved. Twice a year, Kelowna holds a Mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Youth Forum for students who have innovative ideas about how to solve problems that affect local residents in areas such as transportation, environment and social issues. Regardless of your age or position in society,

you can be involved in creating positive change. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget what

Norm Letnick Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also important to tout some of our successes to encourage young entrepreneurs and prospective business owners. Young people could be forgiven for being discouraged by recent headlines about entire countries going bankrupt. So making sure they know Canada, and B.C. in particular, remain excellent places to establish and run a business is worthwhile. B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;has a lot to be proud of,â&#x20AC;? says the CFIB, as weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve come a long way in the past 10 years. B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong fundamentalsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;reflected in our AAA credit ratingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; make us a very desirable destination for business. Why? For example, if the province needs to borrow, we can do so at significant savings. The province currently borrows at 30 to 35 basis points lower than Ontario in the U.S. dollar market. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t end there, either. A recent report from McKinsey & Co named Canada the â&#x20AC;&#x153;top entrepreneurial hotbedâ&#x20AC;? of all G20 countriesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and by a wide margin, too. So, if Kelowna is the best city in the best province in the best country in the world, does that mean the Kelowna area is therefore the best place in the world? I think it just possibly does.

CFIBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s report Communities in Boom: Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Top Entrepreneurial Cities looked at 100 Canadian cities and towns and compared them on several factors. Using both independent data from sources like Statistics Canada as well as direct perspectives from local business owners, CFIB took into account the concentration of entrepreneurs, business start-up rate, and the general optimism and success of business owners. And while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the entrepreneurs themselves who succeed or fail, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no question government policies also play a significant role. As a former business owner, I know firsthand the crucial need for supportive local government tax and regulatory policies. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to see the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s responsible fiscal policies getting some well-deserved recognition. In case you think this is just boosterism, think again. Entrepreneurism and overall business success are crucial for any thriving urban centre. Small and medium enterprises employ 52 per cent of all Canadians. Think of small and medium businesses as a form of economic insurance; recent decades have shown what can happen to single-industry towns. This is precisely why the provincial government has been moving ahead with projects such as expanding the availability of BizPalâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a single online source of information for businesses about necessary licenses and permits â&#x20AC;&#x201D;and the OneStop Business Registry. Do these make a difference for entrepreneurs? The availability of BizPal was specifically listed as a factor in CFIBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rankings.

The City of Kelowna is once again looking for a large evergreen tree to become the centre attraction at Roxby Centennial Plaza in Rutland over the winter holidays. The Park Services department is putting out the call to residents who want to donate a live 30- to 40-foot tall spruce or fir tree that will be decorated with holiday lights as part of the plazaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas display. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great opportunity to have a tree that has outgrown its space removed but see it used to add to the magic of the season,â&#x20AC;? said City of Kelowna arborist Harry Burggraaf. Anyone who has an appropriate tree to offer can leave their name, address and phone number with the Parks Services office. Call 250-469-8503.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ ROTARY CENTRE FOR THE ARTS

Gala will bring in needed funds for busy arts centre Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

In tough economic times, people need the arts more than ever, says jazz singer Anna Jacyszyn who will perform at the Rotary Centre for the Arts’ top fundraiser of the year later this month. The Gala for the Arts is used to ensure programming for the roughly 10,000 youth who traverse the RCA’s halls every year as it continues to push boundaries. In lean times, the arts are often touted as a peripheral extravagance, sending those who organize big ticket, signature fundraisers to the poorhouse. But the artists lending their talents to this event say they believe Okanagan residents realize how critical creativity and the community the arts create is to weathering the economic blues. “Especially in times where people are feeling the crunch and tightening their purse strings, this is when the arts come alive,” said Jacyszyn. “People can go out and see paintings and listen to music…Even when I’m just walking through the RCA there’s so many different things happening that I just have this sense of belonging.” Jacyszyn returned to the Okanagan five years ago after developing an international career as a

jazz singer. She started a monthly Jazz Café and says the venture has been a wild success, despite Kelowna’s financial woes. “We have people who have come and have religiously never missed a show,” she said. “This is their little time where they can have a cocktail, listen to some music and enjoy a night out—and they’re always there.” Connecting with the creative community allows people to become more creative in their own lives, whether by finding a way to cook more appetizing dishes with less or providing some background music for a day spent doing extra work in the house, she said. Effectively, the arts help feed the soul, says Stu Goldgerg, who will join Jacyszyn as a guest artist for the fundraiser. “The arts are important. I mean, it’s not going to pay your bills if you work in the stock market, but it raises you up to a higher level of consciousness,” says Goldberg. “It’s important for inspiring people.” Goldberg spent 10 years touring Europe as a concert jazz pianist before moving to Los Angeles to work on film and television music for the next 20 years. Retiring to Penticton on a whim, his aperiodic appearances in venues throughout the valley have

added a certain spice to the music scene. He’s personally held six concerts at the RCA, performed with the Okanagan Symphony in the Kelowna Community Theatre and with Ballet Kelowna. For the gala, he will finish the evening off, providing a little jazz for desert in the hallway of the tropically-themed event. The performance marks a return to where he started in Kelowna’s music scene, he noted, saying he was floored to find he was playing the hallway during his first gig at the venue; particularly once he discovered the Mary Irwin Theatre was inside. But he soon realized this was no regular hallway performance; the lower atrium, for example, has a grand piano. The evening opens with the high-energy Mazacote, a six-piece Latin band marrying Caribbean and various Latin American influences to build a crescendo that promises to set fire to a festive mood where Polynesian dancers and poi spinners, like the Kinshira Performance Troupe, fit right in.

LUSH GREENERY can be seen on St. Martin Lake in Breaux Bridge city of St. Martin Parish, Louisiana.

Spending a long weekend lingering in Cajun country Leslie Brenner CONTRIBUTOR

The holiday weekend stretched out before us, and we had not a single plan on the books. Road trip! We headed straight to Cajun country. My husband and I had been before, hitting a few towns on the way back from a trip to New Orleans, and we loved it. Friendly and relaxed, it’s the kind of place where you can just meander and explore. Last time we visited, we stayed in a boutique hotel in Lafayette; this time, since our kid was away visiting grandparents, we found a bed and breakfast.

It takes less than seven hours to drive there from Dallas, going east on Interstate 20 to Shreveport, then south on Interstate 49 straight to Lafayette. That’s the Acadian city at the heart of Cajun country. Our bed and breakfast was in Breaux Bridge, just 10 minutes or so east of Lafayette. We started out early on Saturday, choosing a back road south from Shreveport on Route 71. Lush and green and dotted with funky little junctions, it didn’t offer much to eat when lunchtime rolled around. Until we spotted a barbecue shack with five or six pickups in the lot. “Make a Uturn!” said my husband. Grayson’s Bar-B-Q: We could smell the

wood smoke before we got out of the car. The sight of the fellow slicing luscious-looking brisket at the front counter confirmed what the smell of the smoke led us to suspect: This was a good address. We went for a combo plate: brisket, ribs and—what should we get as the third meat? “Smoked ham,” said the server. She was so right: It was spectacular—moist, just salty enough, with just the right hit of smoke. Definitely good enough for a detour, though we didn’t have to. We found Country Charm Bed and Breakfast without much trouble at the end of a gravel road. Owners Eric and Gloria Gassiot live in the main house and had left the key for us. The grounds were gorgeous—set on a serene little lake with

cottages under majestic Evangeline oaks. There’s a canoe and fishing rods guests can use, and a lakeside fire pit surrounded by chairs. After a fine dinner at the French Press in Lafayette, we headed back to Breaux Bridge, to Mulate’s with its live zydeco music every night and what looked like the whole town out on the dance floor. Sunday morning, armed with Gay N. Martin’s terrific guidebook, Off the Beaten Path Louisiana, we hit the road with the idea of tooling around Acadiana.

Louisiana swamp is one ecosystem that’s a unique draw for tourists ecosystem of the wetlands. Next time we’ll bring the kids.

IF YOU GO:

A SWAMP TOUR near Breaux Bridge offers alligators in the wild. Cajun Country A32 west Louisiana in the late 18th century. After picking up an excellent touring map of the Bayou Teche Corridor at the Atchafalaya Welcome Center in Lafayette, we headed south, stopping in Abbeville, a well-preserved Acadian town with an almost Western feel. We visited the cemetery, walked around the square but found everything was closed up tight. Of course: It was Sunday. Passing by cane fields and rice fields, we came upon the town of Jeanerette, where we found Yellow Bowl Restaurant. It was open, and filled with families in their Sunday best. We chowed down on seafood gumbo and crawfish etouffee. And then it hit us: If you’re going to spend a weekend in Cajun Country, make it Friday and Saturday, not Saturday and Sunday. On the other hand, if we hadn’t been there on a Sunday with businesses tclosed up tight, we would have missed a highlight of our trip. We found Lake Fausse Pointe State Park on the map and fell in love with what we found: a nature hike unlike any we’d ever experienced. We followed a two-mile trail along lake and swamps, hopping over snakes (poisonous? who knows?!), stopping to marvel at

armadillos rummaging in the leaves, seemingly oblivious to us, even spotting an alligator’s eyes peeking up from the swamp. The landscape, with its palmettos and cypresses dripping Spanish moss, was wonderfully moody. Later, we wandered around sleepy, historic Breaux Bridge with its cool-looking folk art galleries and vintage shops, even a store specializing in 18th-century culinary antiques. We peered into Cafe des Amis, a popular breakfast spot, where a sign in the window touted zydeco breakfast—every Saturday. We picked up boiled peanuts and a couple of beers at a fruit stand and had ourselves quite a party on the fishing pier at the B&B—just the two of us and a symphony of croaking frogs. Finding something open in Breaux Bridge on the Sunday night of a holiday weekend was a bit of a challenge, but we scored—at Crazy ‘Bout Crawfish Cajun Cafe, where we gorged ourselves on boudin, crawfish and excellent boiled Gulf shrimp. Around us, others were digging into big platters of crab, which looked fantastic. Next visit we’ll time the trip to catch the height of crawfish season, in the spring. Next morning, we met the swamp tour we’d

On July 24 and 25, the DWK and WFN hosted Communities in Bloom volunteer judges Betty Lamont from Inverhuron, Ont., and Normand Rosa, from St. Sulpice, Que.

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

So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, they will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

Kia designer unveils a sizzler in Geneva show Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

FRANKFURT— “Surprise is the shadow of what’s next.” I was struck by that phrase printed on the back page of the press information for the Kia GT Concept revealed at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show. From seemingly out of nowhere here was a full European sports sedan with rear-drive from a company that’s never, to my knowledge, built a rear-drive passenger car. That is until now. With an eight-speed transmission coupled to a turbocharged, direct fuel injection V6 producing a potent 390 hp and 393 lb/

ft of torque, the GT Concept has wonderful, liquid lines. Where the rearview mirrors should be, there are slender stalks with a rear-facing TV camera that reproduces the images on small monitors at each side of the A pillars. The front bucket seats seem to float above the floor and access is through large French-style doors on either side. The amount of thought and planning that must have gone into this is daunting. But, to my great surprise, instead of taking up to a year or two to go from a drawing to the mockup, it took something like eight months to produce

Production at Canadian Honda plant back on track Honda from B4 recent press event in this sprawling facility. Unlike most companies where management and front-line workers look the part, all Honda of Canada Manufacturing (HCM) employees— from the top down—get standard issue Honda whites. That uniformed guy you’re pontificating to about the state of the auto industry could just as easily be a shop floor ‘associate’ (Hondaspeak for ‘employee’) as he could be, say, Jerry Chenkin, Honda Canada’s executive vice president. Not that I was saying anything harsh about the company. Sure, they’ve experienced a drop in sales due to supply problems following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. But things are rebounding, as production returns to normal levels. Hence the reason a select group of Canadian journalists were on hand at HCM Plant 1 to hear

the good news, and view the 2012 Civic as it makes its way along the assembly line. According to Chenkin, approximately 7,000 customers are awaiting delivery of their new cars. “We’d like to thank them for their patience,” he said. I’d call that dedication, considering the stiff competition from Elantra, Corolla and Mazda3. The earthquake, he explained, impacted their entire lineup, but the Civic was particularly hard hit. “It suffered most because it was a brand new model,” Chenkin said. “The supply chain wasn’t mature yet.” Prior to the March 11 disaster, HCM was assembling more than 28,000 vehicles per month for the Canadian and U.S. markets, with most parts and materials sourced locally. A few critical components (ie. electronics), however, came from Japan. This shortage halved production, but to the company’s credit, HCM did not lay off employees.

THE ASSEMBLY line at Honda of Canada Manufacturing (HCM) will be marking its 25th anniversary in November of this year.

They chose instead to consolidate shifts and schedule non-production days where associates could take part in business improvement activities, training and volunteer work. The latter option was a boon to organizations like Habit for Humanity, along with humane societies and local food banks. Now that Plants 1 and 2 have returned to preearthquake levels, and are working towards building 1,600 cars per day, consumers can expect to see

more 2012 Civics on the road. Will it retain its crown as the top-selling passenger car in Canada for the 14th year in a row? As of September 30, year-to-date sales of the Civic are 37,774 versus 36,652 for the all-new Elantra. The jury is out as to who will be on top by the end of 2011. But if Civic can retain top spot despite a natural disaster, several months of production cuts and vastly-improved competition, it will indeed be a feather

in the ball cap for Honda’s white-uniformed team.

HONDA OF CANADA MFG. FAST FACTS:

• The company has produced more than 5.4 million vehicles in Canada since 1986 • HCM will celebrate its 25th anniversary in November of this year • Plant 1: (builds Civic Sedan, Coupe and SI) production began in 1986, capacity 195,000 per year, 800 per day • Plant 2: (builds Civic Sedan, Acura MDX and

All they see when they look at a Ford Taurus is a full-size family car, albeit a handsome and stylish one in latest generation livery, with modern lines and sleek styling. But this particular version was the Taurus SHO, and beneath its understated Clark Kent-like exterior beats the heart of a hot rod. There are two approaches to performance design. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the usual sports car way of doing thingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;big spoilers and wings, sharp angles, roadscraping skirts, flash and dash and plenty of design braggadocio to advertise the power and handling abilities of the car in question.

In the bad â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ol days drivers would even etch their car exteriors with battery acid, adding sur-

face rust and dents to further lull opponents into a false sense of security. And most of those opponents would be left stunned at the start line with a surprised â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oh!â&#x20AC;? on their lips, peering through the tire smoke as a rapid-

ly vanishing old heap left them far behind. We may frown on the street racing roots of this deceptive styling tradition but the SHO follows the same proven formula of dynamic power hidden within a discreet package.

The 2011 Taurus SHO harnesses a Super High Output (SHO) 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 engine that makes a whopping 365 hp at 5,500 rpm and 350 lb/ft of torque peaking at 3,500 rpm. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more than a 100 hp jump up from the normally-aspirated 263 hp 3.5-litre engine found in a regular Taurus, a difference that is palpable when you push the gopedal and feel your eyeballs peel back.

This power option has been made possible by Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newfound love of an old favouriteâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;turbocharging. Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest lineup of Ecoboost engines finds a replacement for displacement with turbocharging. In this particular case, The SHO utilizes twin turbochargers, instead of a larger single unit, reducing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;turbo lagâ&#x20AC;? See Taurus B7

A LEATHER-WRAPPED INTERIOR features Miko suede inserts on massaging 10-way powered seats along, a choice of seven ambient lighting colours, plenty of elbow room and a host of standard and optional luxuries. matically puts power to the wheels with the best traction, adding a sense of all-weather security to its high-performance traction abilities. The 2011 Taurus SHO has a few other performance tricks up its sleeve, including an Electric Power Assist Steering (EPAS) system. This electrically powered system was designed for responsive road feel but it also makes a minor contribution to fuel economy due to the lack of

parasitic drag off the engine. A firm ride and confident handling come courtesy of a sport-tuned suspension featuring unique shock absorbers, springs, stabilizer bars and a multilink SR1 rear suspension design. With all that performance technology packed into the car, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect a high level of standard equipment as well. And youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be right. Pretty well everySee Taurus B8

Now that you’re more familiar with the qualities of the Taurus SHO, you might spot a few hints of both the beauty and the beast within but, as Ford puts it, “the key element of the authentic SHO formula is the subtlety of it unique exterior design cues”. Like the standard 20inch Michelin high-performance tires on premium painted wheels, discreet badging, a slightly different grille, a subtle spoiler on the decklid and twin chrome exhaust tips peaking out from under its skirts. My tester was wrapped in Kona Blue Metallic, a new colour for 2011 and, some of the 2012 models now appearing at dealers will have other minor packaging changes for a new year. Ford has announced more significant changes for the upcoming 2013 Taurus lineup—a thrifty 2.0-litre Ecoboost fourcylinder version, more power for the regular model’s V6 and handling tweaks for an upgraded SHO. For now, 2011 SHO models, as tested here, seem to be the best deal, listing for about $4,000 less than the 2012 versions. The Taurus SHO does not come cheap but it does come complete, with all the roomy utility of a fullsize sedan, with a long list of included luxuries and amenities, and with enough power and handling potential to satisfy even the most dedicated performance enthusiast. Yeah, this “sleeper” might surprise the car in the next lane. It will definitely surprise you.

In Flanders Fields by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago, We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

GORDON (NEE HURNDALL/CUMMINGS): PATRICIA (PATTI) FLORENCE REEVE Patti was born January 25, 1924 in Brighton, England passed away at Kelowna General Hospital on November 2, 2011 after a short illness. Devoted wife of William (Rocky) Gordon, great Mom to children Mike (Wendy) Cummings of Comox, BC; Patti (Bryan) Kassa of Salmon Arm BC; stepchildren Tom (Barb) of Kelowna; John (Audrey); Bill (Margaret) and Wendy Gibson all of Saskatoon. Beloved grandmother to Kathleen (Clayton) Dyck, Maple Ridge and Krista (Ian) Richmond of Vancouver and Grandma Patti to Rocky’s ten grandchildren and great grandmother to an additional ten. During WWII, Patti was a dispatch motorcycle rider with the British Land Army. She met Peter Cummings from Scotland and they married in November 1945 with their son Michael arriving in April 1947 and a daughter Patti in 1953. The family emigrated to Canada in 1954 settling in Ottawa, Ontario. Patti worked for the Federal Government in senior administration positions in a variety of departments (DND, Customs, Health & Welfare and Canada Revenue Agency) and in different locations (New Brunswick, Alberta and BC) as Peter was in the military, which necessitated moving. In her early years, she loved ballroom dancing, piano, family vacations, cooking (the best Steak and Kidney Pie and Yorkshire Puddings), and knitting (thank you for all those beautiful sweaters). In the 80’s and 90s, Patti was a devoted member of the Lions/Lioness’ Club and in the 90’s, to the Kelowna Hospital Auxiliary. She retired early due to Peter’s poor health and they moved to Kelowna in 1989 with Peter passing in 1993. She later met and married Rocky in 1995 and they enjoyed many great times together vacationing in Kauai or cruising to a variety of locations. The joy for them both is their dog, Abby. A Service will be held at St Pius X Catholic Church, 1077 Fuller Avenue, Kelowna on Saturday, November 5th at 1:30 pm, followed by a tea in the Parish Hall. Thank you to all to the staff on 4B at KGH--they were amazing and made Patti’s last two weeks as comfortable as was possible. In lieu of ﬂowers, if you wish, please make a donation to a charity of your choice. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com.

MACPHERSON, ANGELA Angela died on September 28th. She is survived by her family, husband Hugh Neil, sons Ian (Anne), Jamie (Nicky), and grandchildren Samantha, Robyn and Rory. Angela was born in the U.K. and raised in Kenya. Childhood memories of Africa and the Indian Ocean always remained close to her heart. She lived and worked in London, England, and Jersey, Channel Islands, before moving to Canada in 1957. During her time in Vancouver, she loved to visit the Okanagan Valley. She moved to Winfield with her family in 1967. Soon afterwards, she began volunteering at the small Winfield library. It grew quickly and as its librarian for 26 years, she met many Lake Country residents and formed long lasting friendships. Angela was a passionate supporter of the Okanagan Humane Society. She could always be counted on to help with fund raising and home finding for animals in need. She was also active in the Lake Country community with her Tai Chi group, and as a member of the Environmental Society. Angela was a good friend of, and volunteer at, the Kelowna Waldorf School. And she took Jane Goodall’s “Roots and Shoots” Program to Central Okanagan Schools. In her retirement Angela enjoyed her annual walking holidays in Britain, but one of her proudest moments was returning to Kenya and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro when she was a senior citizen. Angela made and kept friends all over the world. In spite of her long fight with cancer, she made the very best of every day of her life while touching so many other people’s lives. The family would like to thank the many people who helped Angela through her difficult last years, special thanks to Home Care nurse June Halter. And thank you to everyone for all the letters, cards, and phone calls. Spring was Angela’s favourite time of year. The family believes that she would like best to be remembered by sharing her home and garden with her friends on her birthday, next May 26. We hope everyone will join us then.

Kelowna development. This phase of new homes are designed with features that provide buyers a custom detached home without a lot of maintenance and ongoing yard work.

New Rose Valley phase about providing options Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR

The new show home in Rose Valley is a showcase of what is possible when considering a new custom home in the popular West Kelowna community. For Rose Valley builder Pentar Homes, this latest show home represents the opening of Phase 9 of the development. The show home is located at 1892 Rosealee Lane. Phase 9 is 17 lots along one side of the street, creating a series of walk-out ranchers. The rear of the home faces east with views of Big White and Little White. The building envelope for

the homes is about 1,400 sq. ft. of living space, depending on the chosen floor plan. The architectural styling is blend of craftsman and west coast modern. The exteriors will have rock accents, varied roof lines and a choice of either hardiplank or stucco siding. The wide lots have the opportunity for 20-foot driveways and extra parking for buyers searching for space. This phase is perfect for the buyer looking for a custom detached home without a lot of maintenance and ongoing yard work. The concept has proved appealing as six of the 17 Phase 9 lots have already sold.

Pentar Homes has been building in Kelowna since 1974, as the company has successfully maintained a steady business with projects throughout the Central Okanagan. Rose Valley is Pentar’s primary building location right now. The company has built a wide variety of homes including the strata-based Phase 8. Phase 9 showcases Pentar’s ability to deliver quality custom homes to buyers looking for the details that matter to them. The show home is full of optional details and features that buyers can choose for themselves. The first is customization

of the floor plan. The show home was modified from a three bedroom main floor to a very large master suite plus den on the main floor. Buyers who want to customize their floor plan to suit their lifestyle work can create the perfect solution with the help of Nadean Wight, with Pentar Homes. “We do all degrees of custom.” explained Wight. “From design of the home to half custom where you pick the finishing details to the buyer purchasing a spec home.” The details at the current show home include a charming wine room and bar set into what could have been a closet. The choice creates a wel-

coming entertainment area for the homeowner who either entertains or wants a space to relax with their favourite beverage. A different type of detailing is in the master bathroom. The beautifully tiled space is warmly modern with clean lines and impeccable scale. The large, deep soaker tub is gently squared for a sleek look, it is echoed in the squared basin sink and geometric rain shower head. The living room is a public gathering space that demonstrates comfortable contemporary. The stylish narrow gas fireplace is set into expansive creamy stone cladding on the

chimney area, punctuated with brushed steel accents. The focal point of the room, the fireplace is kept cozy with banks of built in cabinetry in a rich espresso finish. Wight says the custom work shows the fine detailing and features that Pentar is capable of providing to buyers. “We are really excited about our new show home. We finished it at the end of September and it is very customized. It really showcases a lot of features that buyers can choose.” The Rose Valley show home is open Monday to Wednesday, noon to 4 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m.
