▼ MAYORAL RACE
Tension felt between two frontrunners Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
As the race for mayor in Kelowna tightens up in the last days of the civic election campaign, incumbent Sharon Shepherd and her main challenger, former mayor Walter Gray, are showing signs of frustration with each other. In a few feisty exchanges during the last all-mayoral candidates forum Tuesday night, Shepherd and Gray clashed over whether the city is “open for business,” campaign donations, proclamations and even Rutland’s name. Appearing on stage with two of the other three candidates in the race, Ken Chung and Cal Condy (Kim Ouellette was again a no-show citing her ongoing health problems), Shepherd and Gray both stressed leadership as a Walter Gray key attribute, saying their approach is best for the city in 2011. But Gray’s continued demand that the city show it is “open for business” seemed to rattle Shepherd, who served as a councillor on Gray’s three municipal councils from 1996 to 2005 and defeated him for the mayor’s job six years ago. “We’re absolutely Sharon Shepherd open for business,” said an exasperated sounding Shepherd in response to Gray’s continued attack that the city needs to be more business-friendly. “Yes, we don’t have a big sign (saying that) and maybe that’s what we need, but we are open for business.” See Tension A22

City Hall defends spending habits Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna earned the dubious distinction of being one of the province’s biggest municipal spenders in a Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses report released this week. But those closest to the city’s books point out there’s more to the new rank than meets the eye. Keith Grayston, the city’s director of finances, says the report that places
YOUR CITY YOUR VOTE
Kelowna as the fourth worst spender in the province’s largest cities, doesn’t accurately reflect the demands on a municipal government. “We’re always looking for opportunities to be more efficient or do things better, and in a lot of cases we run things similar to the way a business would,” said Grayston. “But the difference is our social obligation and the requirement to provide services the private sector will not. A business
would never run a pool, because there’s no profit to be had, but that’s something people expect from a municipal government.” The federation relied on a simplistic formula that pits the rate of population growth, which was 22 per cent, against the growth of real operating spending. In Kelowna’s case, real operating spending increased 76 per cent from 2000 to 2009, and that means per capita this city’s costs have increased

by 45 per cent since the start of the decade. “A number of things, have changed in the last 10 years, in terms of service levels,” said Grayston. “Our transit system has increased the number of service hours quite substantially over the last 10 years, so any time we have an increase in service levels it will cause a cost increase beyond the factors they consider.” This decade also brought new responsibil-
ities to municipalities, which now have to foot the bill for a larger portion of affordable housing, social housing, police, not to mention new environmental regulations. “When all tax payers sign on to reducing greenhouse gases, there’s costs associated with that,” he said. “There are demands from all areas, but whenever we’ve done the citizen surveys we ask, See Habits A9

▼ JOHN TIETZEN
Dreamlift Day success celebrated with award Barry Gerding EDITOR
The Wendy’s Dreamlift Day has evolved into one of the most successful charitable fundraisers in Canada for money raised and level of participation. Since its inception, when the first Dreamlift Day raised $10,500, subsequent years has seen the annual event’s success grow, having raised $995,000 during its lifespan. Dreamlift Day was started by Wendy’s franchise owner John Tietzen, who was honoured on Tuesday as the recipient of a national award for volunteer service Tietzen received the Wayne C. Dunn Spirit of Service Award, presented by the Sunshine Foundation, the fourth person to ever be presented the award. But while all the attention was centred on Tietzen at the award presentation, he was quick to cite the support of many people who believed in the Dreamlift Day idea. “I’m honoured…but it shouldn’t be for me,” Tietzen said of the award. “It should be for everyone involved, our staff,
our managers, the people who work so hard and donate their wages for the day, the VIPs who come out and help, the customers who come and stand in line all day to make this happen, the Southern Interior media who have been so great from the beginning, the RCMP who help organize things and the Orange County Sheriff’s Department.” Tietzen described himself as being a caretaker of a community event that has taken on a life of its own. “It’s one big team effort to make this thing go,” he acknowledged. And the recipient of all that charitable work has been the Sunshine Foundation. More specifically, the money raised has funded four flights to Disneyland for kids with severe physical disabilities and life-threatening illnesses. The fifth flight will jet off from Kelowna International Airport bound for Disneyland on Dec. 6. Money raised also makes individual dreams come true for the Sunshine kids. “John’s initiative and drive, his dedication to Sunshine Kids and the
generous contributions he has made to advance Sunshine’s mission makes him a deserving recipient of this award,” said Pat De Meester, president of the Sunshine Foundation’s national board of directors. Appreciation for Tietzen’s efforts were also expressed by two recipients of the Dreamlift Day fundraising efforts. Tracy Antypowich, joined by her son Eric and husband Melton, spoke at the award presentation about what a difference Dreamlift Day has made for their family. Tracy said her son was diagnosed at age six months with cerebral palsy, which by age eight made him suffer hundreds of seizures a day with no medication to help them subside. Radical surgery was done to separate the two hemispheres of his brain, which was a temporary success. By age 13, the seizures returned, ultimately leading him to have another surgery in 2010 at B.C. Children’s Hospital to remove a damaged portion of the left hemisphere of his brain. Eric was selected for

JOHN TIETZEN (right) is congratulated for receiving the Wayne C. Dunn award from the Sunshine Foundation by past Dreamlift Day participant Eric Antypowich. a Dreamlift flight, saying everything he described to his parents of that experience in Disneyland starting with the phrase, “You never guess what…!” When Eric was selected as an individual dream recipient, his dream was to take his parents and three siblings with him for a five-day vacation in Disneyland. “The night we were all together watching the spectacular fireworks show Disneyland puts on, Eric turned to me crying and said, ‘Am I dreaming?’ All of us were crying and realized we really were in the happiest place on earth in that moment.” She said her family has been “showered with
so many blessings” because of the efforts of Tietzen and those behind the Dreamlift Day. Chelsea Williamson, another Disneyland Dreamlift Day participant in 1999, said she has endured a childhood of pain because of a debilitating bone disease. “But the trip to Disneyland was the best day of my life because I was able to forget about the pain for one day,” Chelsea said. “And that was all because of the Wendy’s and Sunshine Foundation staff.” Tietzen said beyond touching the lives of people like Chelsea Williamson and Eric Antypowich, the impact Dream-
lift Day has also been left on his staff. It’s not unusual, he said, for past employees to return to Wendy’s on Dreamlift Day to help out. He estimated some 4,000 employees have worked on Dreamlift Day at the Wendy’s restaurants in Kelowna, West Kelowna Penticton, Vernon and Salmon Arm since 1995. “We have given people at a young age the opportunity to learn what giving back is all about,” Tietzen said. “Our staff, along with the people who patiently wait in line on Dreamlift Day, are helping people they don’t even know.” bgerding @kelownacapnews.com
Cities called upon to manage irrigation better Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
The tools are available; it’s now up to civic government to make use of them by managing irrigation differently, according to Ted Van der Gulik, senior engineer in sustainable agriculture management with the provincial agriculture ministry. For instance, now that there are certification programs for irrigation designers and technicians, local government should be encouraging the use of only
NT E R
EE R F
those who are certified to install and maintain irrigation systems. That would help to ensure systems are installed and set up to be efficient and conserve water. There are also courses on irrigation scheduling and on auditing irrigation scheduling and there’s an online irrigation scheduling calculator available. Van der Gulik is vice-chairman of the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council, and was reporting to council members at their November meeting.
Above all, he pointed out that soil is the critical thing. For example, with adequate topsoil under lawns, in Vancouver there wouldn’t be any need all year to irrigate. However, frequently only a couple of inches of topsoil are put down before lawn seed is spread or turf put down in a landscape. In the Okanagan, 85 per cent of the water goes to irrigation, so it’s really important to manage it well, he said. “How we develop the land
determines how we use the land: how much water runs off it and how much water is used on it, for instance with turf,” he explained. In the 1950s, 32 per cent of the land was hard surfaces, but today 49 per cent is, so we’re turning more soft land into hard surfaces, where water will run off instead of soaking in. “That’s important in water management,” he noted. There’s now an Okanagan Irrigation Management tool that allows farmers to go online to
compare and analyze consumption and anticipate demand, based on a link to Environment Canada’s weather information. However, because this was not a dry year in the valley, it hasn’t seen a lot of use this year, because water shortages were far from people’s minds. The Glenmore-Ellison Irrigation District, Vernon Water District and Summerland are using the new tool, which is available online. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com
Kelowna’s outdoor ice rink was the surprise hit of last winter and—fingers crossed—it’s just a few weeks until it livens up the waterfront again. “Stuart Park ice rink is supposed to open early December,” said Tom Wilson from the City of Kelowna. “They’ve tested the system in recent weeks, so there won’t be any delays like last year.” In its debut year, the rink’s opening was put off by weeks due to an underground glycol leak from the cooling system. It was patched up to ideal condition by Dec. 28, and by the end of the season thousands of locals had taken a spin on the smooth surface. Although praise for the rink was readily available, season’s end offered a time for review and some users highlighted a few tweaks that would amount to increased performance. Coun. Luke Stack in a March council meeting, for example, noted a warming station would be ideal. It’s possible because city council approved an amendment to the open fire bylaw that allowed for future use of outdoor fire pits, outdoor fireplaces and barbecues fuelled by natural gas, propane or briquettes only. But, said Wilson, it’s not likely going to make this year’s to-do list. “As they get into phase 2 (of park development), they may incorporate some things like a sound system or a fire pit, but not yet,” he said. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Local Mounties, in conjunction with the Okanagan Mainland Real Estate Board, have launched Realty Watch—a program that immediately disperses information like Amber Alerts or various other crime notices to the region’s 800 realtors. In turn, if they see anything suspicious, realtors can give the police the intel. “It literally gives me goose bumps that we can fan this information out,” said Sgt. Ann Morrison. “Police can’t be every-
where all the time and we need the extra eyes and ears.” And, when it comes to finding extra eyes and ears, realtors are the men and women who are best suited to the job. “Most property crimes are committed weekdays between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., a time when realtors are travelling through residential and commercial areas, conducting their regular business routine,” said Brenda Moshansky, a realtor and former president of the board.
“This puts them in a unique position to observe crimes about to happen or already in progress.” She warned the group of realtors convened in Kelowna on Wednesday to learn about the launch of the program, however, that it’s not their job to do anything other than observe and report what they see to the Mounties. Although this region launched the program this week, Realty Watch has been running successfully in the Lower Mainland since 1994 and has been

credited with some huge successes. Among the top accolades was helping police locate two missing children and one vulnerable senior. They’ve also helped track down two people wanted by police for undisclosed crimes. According to one of the realtors who was learning of the program Wednesday, it’s a partnership that really helps the industry, too. “I was a realtor in the Lower Mainland, and we’d get one, two, three alerts a day,” Moshansky said. “I was showing a home to a family, and told them of a missing fiveyear-old boy. They were really impressed…it helps raise our profile in their eyes.” That said, Moshansky pointed out the program isn’t about benefitting realtors. It’s just a matter of working toward the community’s well-being.

Don’t neglect local government
T
he red-headed stepchild of democracy is shivering on the doorstep again. Most won’t open the door. Local government elections are always overshadowed by louder events, and this year is no different. The “Occupy” nonsense, the teachers’ strike, the precarious economy and the media’s fixation on them are part of the problem. But let’s face it. Public indifference to local government has left it mainly to self-serving politicians and special inter-
est groups. Community newspapers soldier on through the three years between elections to highlight issues and choices, but few people join the debate when it’s time to vote. The recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention demonstrated this. Local politicians love to tell senior governments what to do. They’d much rather debate smart meters or bad old Ottawa’s RCMP costs than talk about their own performance. Most of the mayors and councillors on hand were unhappy
with the province’s plan to appoint a municipal auditor-general to examine the efficiency of municipal spending. Just another layer of bureaucracy, according to these experts on the subject. At the convention, I asked NDP MLA Carole James about this. A veteran of local government, she observed that it would be awkward for local politicians to go back to their communities and campaign against accountability. Candidates don’t want to talk about the fact that B.C. municipal spending, adjusted for in-
flation, is now growing almost four times as fast as population growth. Pay and benefits for municipal employees grow much faster than private sector rates. Not enough people care. There are still things you can do to compare candidates. Please, check the Capital News website for recent surveys and stories on the local candidates, and take some time on Saturday to back the people who you think have the best experience, independence and understanding of the community’s needs.

School boards are facing a credibility issue with the public
A
s we head into the home stretch of the 2011 civic election campaign, some school trustee candidates are feeling left out of the local political debate. At least that is the opinion of one Kelowna trustee candidate, Richard Knight. On my desk sits an email print-out from Knight, accusing the local media of ignoring the trustees. His proof was that an all-candidates school board forum on Monday at Hollywood Road Education Centre, was attended by about 90 peo-
ple, 13 candidates and “one lonely reporter from the Capital News.” We hope that extensive coverage of the school trustee candiBarry dates across the CenGerding tral Okanagan in today’s Capital News will help some of that criticism subside. But Knight argues that education is a unifying issue in both Kelowna and West Kelowna, which touches on many issues that taxpayers are faced with, from poverty to training people for skilled job vacancies. And he pegs the school district op-
EDITOR’S NOTE
erating budget at about $190 million a year, which is higher than Kelowna City Hall, and that the school district is the second largest employer in the Okanagan Valley, second only to Interior Health. “With the above in mind,” Knight wrote in his email, “I beseech our public to give education a very sober second look. We are important. Our only real drawback is that our goals are long-term and the results not quite as tangible as bricks and mortar projects…remember, education is really the cornerstone of our society.” School boards have had many questioning their existence in recent years as the ministry of education continues to centralize control of the education system in Victoria.
Of the operating budget Knight speaks about, somewhere between 10 and 15 per cent is discretionary spending controlled by the school board. The rest is dictated by Victoria through such things as negotiating provincial contracts for teachers, a process that is currently underway. When this next agreement is made, don’t be surprised if the school board is asked to cut back more of that discretionary spending pot to account for the increased expense of pay hikes for teachers. It’s not the case that there aren’t issues for trustees to address, but their power to address them has been continually curtailed over the last decade. Especially when school boards
that don’t listen to Victoria get fired. Our impression is that, while many trustee candidates are talking about improvements to our school system that come with a fiscal cost, the awareness of how little wiggleroom there is to accomplish any of that has not been well thought out. But with two young children about to soon enter the public school system, I will certainly be taking a greater interest in their learning environment. And while the individual school, the teachers and to an extent the school district administration will have my attention as a parent, I’m not sure what the trustees say and do will carry the same significance. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

LETTERS ▼ LONG GUN REGISTRY
Needed permit to buy long gun for 20 years To the editor: RE: Scrapping Gun Registry ‘Really Reckless’, letter to the editor from Jon Peter Christoff, Nov. 10 Capital News. Your letter, like most supporting the long gun registry, is filled with wonderful statistics about how the registry has reduced gun crime in Canada. You also imply that the reason gun owners oppose the registry is the Big Brother Is Watching scenario. Unfortunately, all of your quotes are misguided and must have been compiled by an uninformed member of Parliament who likes to continue to
waste our money. Please let me correct you and inform you on a few details. Firstly, in 1977 the federal government introduced legislation requiring anyone purchasing a firearm to apply for and have a Firearms Acquisition Permit (FAC). It was a small measure at best because of the limited amount of information required to obtain a FAC. The act was revised in 1991 (Bill C-17) which changed the form to a detailed eight-page application that required vigorous police checks into the applicant’s criminal and medical background.
Due to the fact that the FAC only covered the purchase of new guns the act was amended in 1995 to include a new firearms possession permit to cover guns that were previously owned. The long gun registry did not start until 2001. Since 1991 there has been a 65 per cent reduction in homicides using long guns. This has nothing to do with the $2 billion waste of money registry that was introduced 10 years later. Why do I call it a waste of money? I, like millions of other hunters, have pur-
chased rifles since 1991 legally. I had to produce a valid FAC, plus supporting picture ID with my current address. This information along with the make, model and serial number of the gun was recorded in the store’s registry. This information has been available for free to the RCMP since 1991; Allan Rock did not have to waste $2 billion to gather information that was already there. You need to understand that laws requiring permits to purchase long guns is what has reduced the crime by stopping anyone with a criminal
record from purchasing one legally. If you really want to reduce gun crime in Canada, listen to Prime Minister Harper and introduce minimum jail terms for people committing violent crimes. Would you support a law imposing a minimum three year jail term for possessing a gun without a permit? I am sure most hunters and farmers would support that bill. How you can associate Allan Rock’s $2 billion waste of money with the Avro Arrow is beyond me. Richard Callihan, Kelowna

Is registering kitchen knives, razor blades next? To the editor: I shook my head as I read the inventive references to studies done on the impact of long guns in our society by the submitter of Scrapping Gun Registry ‘Really Reckless’. His logic seems to suggest that we also start registries for kitchen knives, razor blades, electrical cords, baseball bats, archery equipment and all the other means we use to kill
each other, in case, in the future, there is another massacre using these simple tools. I wonder if he is a civil servant afraid of losing his job as the Conservatives finally live up to their election promise to the voters of Canada to eliminate this useless financial boondoggle. The Liberals lost that election by concentrating their advertising campaigns in the
big cities where they thought they could get more votes from the ignorant by supporting it. The rural population and people who live and work in the great outdoors proved them horribly wrong. Only people kill people, not the tools we manufacture to make our lives easier. Doug Maves, Kelowna
Stopping registry is righting an expensive wrong To the editor: Regarding the letter to the editor: Scrapping Gun Registry ‘Really Reckless,” I would like to comment that when the Conservative government under Diefenbaker destroyed the Avro Arrow, it was a ‘wrong’ perpetrated on Canada, and the incredibly talented, dedicated people at A.V. Roe. The long gun registry was a ‘wrong’ im-
plemented by the Liberal government as a knee-jerk reaction to the massacre in Montreal, and perpetrated on the honest people of Canada who, by owning firearms, were essentially branded as criminals-in-waiting by the paranoid eastern-centric government of the time. All the present government is doing, is righting a wrong.
It should be remembered, in this time of remembrance, that it is very easy for a government to overstep its boundaries, and the people must be vigilant and act accordingly. The federal liberals found this out the hard way at the polls. Andrew H Kiesewetter, Kelowna

ELECT
Democracy needs more voices, not fewer To the editor: The tone and language of a recent opinion piece, This is What Democracy Looks Like (Nov. 8 Capital News) deeply disappoints. Referring to the Occupy “cultists” as uninformed, ill-organized and heading inevitably to “disarray and violence” calls to mind repressive governments who label as “terrorists,” “traitors” and “infiltrators” those courageous citizens who call for change. I think we should demand better analysis from local media, especially at exactly the time we remember those who suffered and sacrificed so that dissenting opinions could be freely expressed. I’m sure the vets didn’t think they were fighting for the sort of sergeant major’s democracy that your piece seemed to support. Your editorial im-
plied that “true” democracy, presumably similar to the street-fighting version seen recently in many parts of the Middle East, would likely sweep vocal minorities off the scene, and therefore local dissenters should be grateful for the benign version of representative government that we enjoy. I’m surprised that the old bulldog of 1940 wasn’t quoted to the effect that “democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” Instead, the tone seemed more like a very grouchy H. L. Mencken who believed that “democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” In fact, effective democracy is almost as elusive as it is untidy, since our political differences are usually rooted in disagree-
ments over solutions rather than problems. Do we want healthy, socially adjusted neighbours? Can we agree that a sustainable environment is the best choice? We may disagree about how to attack these issues but can probably find common understanding about their importance. Society’s capacity for justice makes democracy possible but, more importantly, our frequent experience of injustice makes full democracy absolutely necessary. Wouldn’t most of us, including your writer, want to see a civic election with issues and candidates that provoked an 80 per cent voter turnout rather than the more typical 20 per cent, even if the ensuing debates occasionally pushed the boundaries of good order and discipline? For that rea-
son, I place your opinion piece in the same category of error as the decision by organizers of a recent mayoral “debate” to exclude candidates who were, in their opinion, not likely to win at the polls. I regret that two campaigners chose to participate when other fully-qualified nominees were barred,
presumably to achieve that tidier form of democracy which your piece seemed to champion. I invite those candidates and your writer to think harder about the need for a multitude of voices in our political processes. Ed McLean, West Kelowna

The winding, steep road up into Knox Mountain Park closed for the season Wednesday and one only has to look out the window to know why. Just in the first couple of hours of yesterday’s snowstorm, police responded to six collisions involving 13 vehicles,
most in West Kelowna. Police advised drivers to slow down so they have time to react to what’s happening in front of them. An Arctic front brought in a couple of centimetres of the white stuff and dropped it in the valley bottom, while three times that amount was added to a blanket of it that fell earlier in the week at higher elevations.

Meteorologist Doug Lundquist with the Environment Canada weather services office says this front has passed through, but another is expected to go through Friday, if it hasn’t moved too far south. If so, a further five to 10 centimetres could be added in the valley. He explained that he’s reluctant to predict amounts because storms can track slightly north or south and easily miss the valley. However, he said it is expected to warm up over the weekend, so there’s a chance of another snowfall, which will likely melt not long after it falls. Except for a brief period Wednesday morning in Penticton, when the mercury dropped to -9 C, temperatures are not expected to reach the required -8 C long enough to allow hardy pickers to pluck the hard little frozen grapes to press and make icewine this week. However, Lundquist noted this is expected to be a winter affected by La Nina, the cooler ocean currents from along the South American coastline which result in temperatures a degree or two colder than normal during the Okanagan winter. That means there will likely not be a shortage of opportunities to pick frozen grapes in the coming months. This will be backto-back La Nina years, which is not that unusual, he said, but it’s particularly noticeable because since the 1980s we’ve had warmer-than-normal winters here. Computer-generated information also predicts an 80 per cent chance that this winter, December through February, will be colder than average.

NEWS ▼ MUNICIPAL SPENDING
Gray and Shepherd say service demands raised city budgets
t t Alistair Waters rASSISTANT EDITOR
The man and woman who have led Kelowna for rthe last 10 years say a report showing municipal spending here between t2000 and 2009 is among the highest in B.C., is a good warning, but it does not show the entire picture. Incumbent mayor Sharon Shepherd, elect-
ed in 2005, and former mayor Walter Gray, who held office from 1996 to 2005, both say the report does not include all the factors that account for the growth in operational spending by the city over the last decade. “There are many things we do not have control over,” said Shepherd, citing the rising cost of supplies and downloading from senior levels

Habits from A1 ‘Would you like to reduce service levels to reduce tax levels?’” To that, the response is always a resounding “no.” “These reports are frustrating,” said Graysfton, noting the city does everything it can to make its finances transparent. “But this is one group putting their opinion forward, and we welcome the dialogue, just wish it wasn’t presented in the manner or mood it was.” For its part, the federation said the report card shouldn’t be viewed as a personal attack. It’s just a “neutral robotic stat-based meast ure of what’s happening,” r Shachi Kurl, CFIB director of provincial affairs for B.C. and Yukon. “Communities that rank well cheer this rer port, and communities who don’t, poo-poo the
of government. She added as the population expands—by 22 per cent in Kelowna over the time span covered in the report—there were more demands for services by the public. And while he and Shepherd are locked in a battle for the mayor’s
chair in the current civic election campaign, Gray agreed with his opponent. But Gray said he is concerned by the rate that spending by the municipality is rising. The report, by the Canadian Federal of Independent Business, places Kelowna 54th high-
est overall for operational spending growth among the province’s 153 municipalities. Among municipalities with a population of more than 75,000 people, Kelowna ranks fourth highest. But Shepherd said repeated city survey’s have shown the public is happy

report,” said Kurl. Regardless of their reaction, however, it is one way to hold communities accountable and get the tax payer thinking about what the federation believes to be are key questions before they head to the polls. “They need to ask, ‘Am I getting 45 per cent more in services? Is my mayor and council keeping an eye on the bottom line, and am I satisfied?’ If the answers are ‘yes,’ and there are good explanations, then fine. It’s really just another look at what is really going on.” The CFIB report also recommends municipalities support the creation of an independent municipal auditor-general. Kurl said if there isn’t some sort of oversight, the tax payer only hears one voice, and that’s city representatives who sing their own praises.

Kelowna candidates talk funding Bobbi-Sue Menard CONTRIBUTOR
The candidates who win a seat at the table for school trustee for School District 23 will be part of the team making the decisions on a $180-million annual budget. On Monday, the Central Okanagan Teachers Association and the Central Okanagan Parents Advisory Council hosted an all-candidates forum at Hollywood Road Education Services Building for the Kelowna trustee hopefuls. In Kelowna there are 14 candidates vying for four positions on the sev-
en-member board. The other three positions are designated for Peachland/Westside, West Kelowna and Lake Country. Only one Kelowna incumbent is seeking reelection, Rolli Cacchioni. The other incumbent running again is Moyra Baxter, who is a Peachland/Westside candidate . The public forum featured a three-minute presentation from each candidate followed by a meet and greet. The predominant theme of the evening’s speeches was money and the lack thereof within the public education system.
Time and again candidates proposed renewed lobbying of the provincial government for more funding to address the perceived ills of the school system. Other key themes to emerge during the evening was a focus on improving literacy and numeracy in students, and multiple promises to consult with all stakeholders in the education system. The reality facing every school board is that the majority of the funds under management directly flow through to staffing costs. School District 23 is the second largest em-

ployer in the Okanagan after Interior Health. Trustees make decisions with the remaining funds to provide programs based on district and stakeholder priorities. Those programming decisions make the difference for students with special needs, varied interests and activities. Literacy, numeracy and graduation rates and diverse curriculum offerings are impacted by the amount and type of programming available. In the 2010-2011 Completion Rates (defined as the percentage of students graduating with a Dogwood Diploma within six years of first entering Grade 8) the Central Okanagan School District has a graduation rate of 86.2 per cent for non-aboriginal students, seventh highest in the province. The aboriginal graduation rate is 60.9 per cent which places the district in the top third of districts province-wide, but is well ahead of the overall aboriginal graduate rate average of 54.1 per cent.

Some of the comments made by the school trustee candidates at Monday’s forum: Chris Becenko: “We can only spend what we have and we need to use resources efficiently.” Joyce Brinkerhoff: “I would be a representative of community priorities and do what is best for the children, even the little things add up.” Rolli Cacchioni: “I make decisions based on what is happening in the classroom and what is best for the students. Professional services for kids needs to be there.” Torrie Fonda: Does not want to see students slipping through the cracks. Chris Gorman: “We have a limited pie, special needs students need to be properly funded and decisions need to be made in
the best interest of the students.” Larry Gray: “You can only work with what you have, but we need to look at all options. Any cuts would need to come from the periphery of the system.” Val Hristovski: “Fine arts programming and athletics produce well rounded students and there are many students who need that outlet within school.” Richard Knight: “The first question in decision making is: ‘Is it good for the kids?’ Literacy would be my number one priority and I am cautious of technology in the classroom—it is expensive and hasn’t always lived up to expectations.” Greg Krasichynsky: “All has been decided for us. We need to look at 21st century initiative, busing, transportation, physical exercise for students and meal programs. We might need to look at property taxes.” Murli Pendarkaar: “The province does not seem to be placing education high enough, for example transit subsidizes the university, but empty buses all day long cost money. We have a twotiered education system and a free education system means an equal opportunity to attend. The current fees are the thin edge of the wedge to a two-tiered system.” Mark Thompson: “Look at middle schools and their administration to see if they are the most efficient way to deliver education. The province has been a bully in the funding process, in a career a teacher earns between $300 to 500,000 more in Alberta and that gap will change teacher quality in B.C. “We need to reinvent the education system in B.C. There are tough decisions to be made…possibly asset sales and I am prepared to look at the property tax base.”

It’s a new world out there and if a comic comes to town, you’re more than welcome to send along a few hints well before the show. As the Capital One Just For Laughs Comedy Tour rolled into town Wednesday evening, host Steve Patterson was encouraging the audience to go ahead and Tweet him (@patterballs) with requests. “If you have a sense of humour, you will love this show,” promised Patterson, ever the perma-host in preparation mode. Patterson was just in town last month with CBC’s The Debaters— pure coincidence—and said he was pleasantly surprised by the Kelowna Community Theatre and audience, pegging the city for one similar to Kamloops before he arrived. “This is how you want to see comedy,” he said,
“In a proper venue, with good sound, good lighting, where you feel you can pause in the show without hearing something go wrong behind the bar.” Patterson has made a career out of providing the master of ceremonies function to everything from the Gemini Awards to the Canadian Comedy Awards to corporate functions and said he likes the Just for Laughs tours because they provide the best comics and give him a chance to return to his stand-up roots. Ordinarily, if Pepsi’s Canadian division wants to throw a function in Vegas, Patterson flies in to add a little flavour of home, but when Just for Laughs comes calling he books out of all other opportunities, he said. On tour with the best British comics in this rotation, Patterson’s roll in this show is to keep the audience punchy in a tour that picks up steam as it cross-

Amos, Hal Cruttenden, Terry Alderton and Sean Meo racing around West Edmonton Mall this week, testing the
water slides and the shooting range—at separate times, Patterson assured. Patterson has a business degree and was destined for law school when some friends signed him up to do a comedy set and he was literally thrown on stage, no script prepared. As for the raw edge to Just for Laughs, Patterson admits he’s been known to shock on tour from time to time. “There’s definitely some eyebrows that get raised by CBC fans,” he said. The second show of the Capital One Just For Laughs Comedy Tour stops at Kelowna Community Theatre tonight (Nov. 17).

Jr. Bears host Centaurs in playoff tilt
KSS Owls host the high-flying Hawks Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
If the Kelowna Owls haven’t yet revealed their best game of the season, Saturday would be a pretty good time to serve it up. The Owls will host the No. 2-ranked W.J. Mouat Hawks in B.C. high school football quarterfinal playoff action, 2 p.m. on the CNC turf. Mouat, the Abbotsford school which went 4-1 in the tough Eastern Conference this season, wiped out Terry Fox 31-0 last weekend in the round of 16. KSS head coach Roy Anderson was there to watch it unfold. “They’re very good, very well-rounded, and there’s not a lot you can key on,” Anderson said of Mouat. “Offensively, they can run and throw with equal effectiveness. Defensively I didn’t see too many holes. “We’re going to need to play over our heads, as well as we possibly can.” In addition to making use of home field advantage, Anderson hopes the Owls can reap the benefits of their team quickness. “We have a lot of speed, a lot of skilled players, so it will be a matter of getting the ball into the hands of those players in open spaces,” he said.

The Owls will look to the likes of Okanagan offensive MVP and quarterback Sam Davies for leadership and big plays, along with fellow offensive weapons Nathan Brown, Brooke Blackmore and Cole Mosychuk. The winner of the Owls-Hawks quarterfinal will battle the winner of Vancouver College and Notre Dame in the semis. The Owls finished first in the Okanagan AAA Conference this season with a 5-1 record. Notre Dame 34 Boucherie 21 The Mt. Boucherie Bears’ season ended Friday at B.C. Place with a 34-21 loss to the Notre Dame Jugglers in opening round playoff action. Due to a snowy Coquihalla, the Bears arrived late for the game and had very little time to warm up. Still, head coach Mike Godwin wasn’t necessarily using the seven-hour bus ride as an excuse. “We made too many mistakes, we committed four turnovers,” said Godwin. “They weren’t bigger than us or stronger than us. We just didn’t play our best game and a couple of guys we needed to have strong games, didn’t. They’re a good team but one we’re capable of beat-

But the Hawks responded with a pair of majors of their own for a 14-7 half-time lead, and Boucherie was forced to play catch-up the rest of the way. Peter Briker scored for
the Bears in the second half on an 80-yard kick off return. QB Joe Court hooked up with Jarrett Yooung on a 62-yard pass play to the one-yard line. Court then plunged in for the Bears’ final major of the day. Cam Spence led the defense with 10 tackles. Teagan McRae had eight tackles, an interception
and a fumble recovery. The Bears starters were primarily Grade 11s this season, which should bode well for 2012. “We’re losing some good players, but we have a really good group coming back and a pretty strong junior varsity team. We’ll be in pretty good shape.” whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
The Mt. Boucherie Bears junior squad will put its unbeaten record on the line on Thursday afternoon at the Capital News Centre’s artificial turf field. At 2 p.m., the Bears will battle Centennial Secondary in the quarterfinal round of B.C. high school football’s junior varsity playoffs. Boucherie, coached by Chris Rock, is 9-0 overall and went 6-0 in league play to finish first in the Okanagan AAA JV conference in 2011. Centennial is coming off a 28-6 win over Van College in the opening round and will, according to Rock, provide a good challenge for the Bears. “(Centennial) is an established program, their varsity and JVs both won provincials two seasons ago, so they’ve been there, done that,” said Rock. “Their coaching staff knows their stuff. “They have good team speed, but I think we match up well with them. As long as the boys come out and play like they can, then we’ll be right there.” The Bears JVs, consisting of Grade 9 and 10 players, have impressed their head coach with both their work ethic and willingness to buy into the system. On the field, Rock is pleased with the Bears’ depth and versatility. “The kids ability to run the ball has really been

impressive,” said Rock. “We have four different running backs who have made significant contributions, it’s not just one player we have to lean on. And our offensive line has been great. “We have two quarterbacks and five or six different catching passes. We have a lot of kids who contribute.” As for the benefits of the Bears playing the game on familiar ground on Thursday ? “We feel very fortunate to be at home,” Rock said. “It’s great for the school, the program, the players and their families.” The winner of Thursday’s game will move on to the semifinal round the weekend of Nov. 25 and 26 to take on the winner of St. Thomas Moore and W.J. Mouat. In JV playoff action last week, the Kelowna Owls saw their season end in the opening round with a 15-14 loss to the New Westminster Hyacks.

Unprecedented results for Kelowna skaters The Kelowna Skating Club and BMO Kelowna Centre for Skating Excellence made history while playing host to the 2012 Skate Canada B.C. and Yukon Sectional Championships from Nov. 10 to 13. Serving as both the provincial championships and a qualifying event for the Skate Canada Challenge, the event featured top skaters from B.C. and Yukon, including national champions and International/World competitors. The Kelowna club made a tremendous and mathematically improbable impact, as local skaters captured 10 out of a possible 16 medals to qualify spots for women’s singles events at the Challenge event, to be held at Regina Nov. 30 to Dec. 4. “Getting the 10 spots still seems hard to believe�, said KSC director Jason Mongrain. “After
taking seven spots last year, it felt as though it would be very difficult to match that—so obviously three more is just incredible, even though we were very close to getting a couple more. B.C. is just so, so tough in terms of the quality and depth of the skaters and the relatively few qualifying spots, making for very high-pressure events. We had other skaters in the top 10 that have the skills to be top 10 in the country.� Saturday finals saw Kelowna’s Cambria Little skate a clean and inspired free program to capture the Senior Women’s title with a personal best total of 121.60 points. Club mate Morgan Jmaiff took the bronze medal and a qualifying spot with 108.29. The Pre-Novice Women’s event had four Kelowna skaters finishing in the top eight in a tough field of 61 competitors.

The Kelowna Fripp Warehousing midget tier 1 Rockets continued their winning ways last weekend with a 2-1 victory over Okanagan Hokkey Academy tier 1 team.

Lions play for SIFC titles
r r The Kelowna Lions look to continue their domination of Interior opponents when they host the Vernon Marauders Sunday in the junior banttam final of the Southern Interior Football Conference. Kick off at the CNC tturf is 2 p.m. If the Lions win they would host the provincial semifinal on the weekend of Nov. 25 against the champion of the Vancouver Mainland Football League. The Lions have run troughshod over the opposition this season, including a 69-6 victory tover the Kelowna Dragons last Sunday in the SIFC semifinal. Parker Simpson scored tfive touchdowns in the route, with Seth Campbell and Taylor Knoll adding two majors apiece. The Lions defense was also a picture of domination, forcing four turnovers while allowing the Dragons just one scoring drive. “The game was an entire team effort with our linemen being the stars of the game both on offense and defense,” said Lions coach Arden Knoll. The Lions went 8-0 in SIFC league play this season, which included a 5824 win over the Maraud-

ers on Oct. 16 in Kelowna. The Kelowna Lions peewee squad will also look to remain unbeaten when they host the Vernon Yellowjackets Sunday in the SIFC championship game. Kick off at the CNC turf is at noon. Kelowna beat the Yellowjackets 52-0 in the lone regular season meeting. However, Lions coach Gerry Dirksen isn’t going make any assumptions based on past results. “Vernon upset West Kelowna in the semifinal and they’ll have some energy off of that win,” said Dirksen. “They have a good coaching staff and I expect them to come out strong. You can’t take anything for granted.” The winner will travel to the home of the Fraser Valley champion for the provincial semifinal on Nov. 25. The Lions went 8-0 in conference play in 2011, then drubbed the Kamloops Wildcats 46-0 in last weekend’s semifinal. The Lions’ Jesse Benneke rambled 80 yards for a touchdown on his team’s first series and Kelowna never looked back on the way to victory.

Tietzen was cited for his efforts to start Wendy’s Dreamlift Day at his restaurants in 1994, which next year will exceed the $1 million mark in money raised, as some 400 children with physical challenges and lifethreatening illnesses, have been able to participate in the Dreamlift to Disneyland Áights. But Tietzen says credit for the Dreamlift Day success is the result of the efforts of many, among them his staff who contributed the wages from their hours worked on Dreamlift Day towards the fundraising effort.

▼ MAYORAL RACE
Gray and Shepherd argue about Rutland’s name Tension from A1
Sponsored by Dolyna Ukrainian Dancers
Wine and Cheese Reception
CIVIC ELECTION
Shepherd, who has been portrayed by some of her detractors as antidevelopment, in part because she does not accept campaign contributions from developers, said she is in favour of sustainable development as long as it fits in with the city’s official community plan vision and helps improve the quality of life for Kelowna residents. Gray, who claimed businesses are leaving the city which is costing Kelowna much-needed jobs, has been painted by his detractors as too cosy with developers and too pro-development. Unlike Shepherd, he accepts campaign contributions from developers, but Gray said that will not influence how he votes should any of the contributors’ proposals come before council. On the issue of campaign contributions, it was revealed the union representing local firefighters has contributed $500 to both Shepherd and councillor candidate Gerry Zimmermann’s campaigns. Zimmermann, a former fire chief, has said he did not seek a formal endorsement from the firefighters’ union. Gray expressed “shock” at the news Shepherd had accepted the do-
nation but his opponent defended the contribution saying the firefighters are supporting her because, as both a councillor and mayor, she has supported them in the past. Cpt. Larry Hollier, president of the Kelowna Professional Firefighters local 913, confirmed the donation saying his group supports candidates based on what they have done in the past, not what they will do in the future. He said Shepherd went to bat for firefighters over the issue of coverage for firefighters exposed to potential cancer-causing chemicals when they are fighting fires when she was a councillor. “We support those who support us,” he said, adding the union is also supporting incumbents Charlie Hodge and Michele Rule for their past actions regarding firefighter safety and challengers Mohini Singh and Maxine DeHart for their help with firefighter-supported charities. But Gray said he is concerned about the donation to Shepherd’s campaign because the firefighters will have to negotiate a contract with the city in a few years and that will have to be approved by council. The last firefighter contract was signed in June. “They support me be-

cause I support them. I don’t owe them (the firefighters) anything,” said Shepherd following the forum when asked about the contribution. For Gray, the issue of proclamations continued to dog him during the forum. And he seems to be losing patience with those who ask him about them. Answering a question from the audience, Gray reiterated his new position that, if elected, he will consult his council before deciding to sign one or not. In his second term as mayor in the late 1990s, Gray ran afoul of the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal for removing the word “pride” from a requested Gay Pride Day proclamation. While questions about that have continued to be asked during the campaign, Gray seemed irritated it had come up again. “I really wish we didn’t have to take time to talk about this and deal instead with issues that affect the city,” said Gray raising his voice. Following the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal ruling, Gray stopped signing proclamations altogether. Shepherd, on taking office in 2005, reinstated the practice and said she would continue to do so. But the clash that really seemed to strain the pair was when the candidates were asked about Rutland. When Gray started to tell what he called “a little story” about Shepherd, then a councillor, wanting to change the name of the city neighbourhood, Shepherd looked visibly annoyed and shook her head from side to side. “I had to tell her it was named after John Rutland,” said Gray. To which Shepherd responded: “And what did you want to call it?” After prompting, Gray admitted with a laugh: “Hooterville.” “Everyone calls it that,” he said as the name drew a reaction from the audience. “Just ask (former MP, MLA, city councillor and Rutland resident) Al Horning.” “I told you not to bring it up,” admonished Shepherd. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

STAFF REPORTER
When the late singer Amy Winehouse infamously tattooed a tear on her cheek, it seemed as though that tear might have been stolen from a raging storm, the criticism rained down so hard. It was a solidarity move to support her recently jailed husband, Winehouse explained. Tear tattoos show loyalty in a jailbird’s girlfriend, but also illustrate the number of people a gang member has killed, chided the press. Soon paparazzi, seeking a shot, were out for blood. A couple of years later, on the other side of the Atlantic, Winfield-based artist Rose Braun, picks up her water glass in a back room of the Kelowna Art

BEHIND THE SCREEN
ist and in 1932, when the 14-month-old son of Charles Lindbergh and his wife was kidnapped and held for ransom, Hoover went on to make kidnapping a Federal offence, thus forever changing the FBI and giving the bureau even more power upon which to act with or without impunity. Leonardo DiCaprio as Hoover is captivating in his portrayal of a man who sought power by ensuring that he had in his keeping the secrets of everyone else who sought power. DiCaprio plays Hoover as both young and old and my bet is that he is going to be nominated for an Oscar for this role. Hoover himself had his own secrets to be sure, and DiCaprio is able to make us see the many sides of a man who had one friend (some say
lover), Clyde Tolson, in his life and not much more outside of his allconsuming work. Naomi Watts was unrecognizable as Helen Gandy, Hoover’s loyalto-a-fault private secretary who kept the secrets even after Hoover’s passing in 1972 when he died at age 77. Between Clyde Tolson (played wonderfully by Armie Hammer) and Helen Gandy, all traces of Hoover’s personal life vanished and any facts we might have are based on misfiled documents found after his death. The gangster Myer Lansky supposedly had irrefutable proof of Hoover’s proclivities and that was the real reason why Lansky’s own mob activities were overlooked by law enforcement. Judy Dench plays Annie Hoover, J. Edgar’s

not being there.” Ron Braun, she goes on to say, was the one person who she could truly be “an asshole” with—his irreverent take on life punctuating everything from their daily conversations to his work as writer and litigator. A lawyer and filmmaker in Vancouver, Ron sounds as though he was equally good at sharing life experiences, no matter how counter to the grain. A lawyer by trade, he dabbled in filmmaking, working on subjects like Clifford Olson’s victims in the immediate aftermath of his arrest. His sister never saw the film. They were heading to the show in downtown Vancouver when she asked if it would upset her. See Braun B3
DiCaprio gives Oscar-worthy character study in J. Edgar J. EDGAR
The film J. Edgar was based on true events, some historical facts and others of a more personal nature based on files that were discovered after Hoover’s death. J. Edgar Hoover was a powerful, complicated and conflicted individual who headed the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for almost 50 years. Hoover himself (no relation to President Hoover or the vacuum company) was born in Washington DC in 1895 and in 1921 Hoover set about establishing a crime fighting organization which would become the FBI. He kept this position throughout the presidencies of Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson and Nixon and even as he aged, no president suggested he retire. In 1926 Hoover es-
Susan Steen tablished a central fingerprint file which became the largest in the world. Hoover’s wire-tapping of everyone from stars to politicians added personal files to the ever growing amount of information he gathered on anyone who he felt might be any kind of a threat to the American way of life. While most of us baby boomers only know Hoover as an old man in his heyday, he and his “GMen” were the stuff of myth and legend. Hoover himself, among other traits, good and bad, was an opportun-
protective mother, Ken Howard is Harlan Stone, Jeffrey Donovan is Robert Kennedy—it is a known fact that Robert Kennedy despised Hoover and while this is played down in the movie, there is no doubt that Donovan serves up deep disdain for Hoover, who of course, has all the Kennedy secrets in his ever-growing files. This was a good, solid film with references to historical events, and shows a power-hungry, egotistical, flawed, driven, celebrity-seeking, unhappy man who headed the largest law enforcement bureau of its kind during the days of racial uprisings, strengthening communism, gang and mob intensity—all viewed as dire threats to the “American” way of life by Hoover and his hand-picked agents.
Best line: “No one freely shares power in Washington, DC.” Great acting and a glimpse into a recent past when gangsters were often romanticized and the lines between the powerful and the average citizens were often marked according to the amount of “dirt” that was accumulated. This gets a solid four reels.
IMMORTALS
I also saw Immortals over the weekend and let me tell you, this is no chick-flick. I can only be grateful that I didn’t see the 3D version because the blood flow in slow motion would have been hard to watch, even for this tough old bird. The premise is that Theseus is chosen by
Zeus to lead the fight against King Hyperion to obtain a mighty weapon that could destroy mankind. Mickey Rourke was the terrible King Hyperion and he was truly great in the part. Stephen Dorff, son of composer Steve Dorff (who luckily looks nothing like his talented father) plays the hero Theseus and Freida Pinto, best known for the role of Latika in Slumdog, is still stunning (why don’t we ever see her without make-up?). Some good acting but painful to watch unless you like blood and gore and then it’s a winner. Two reels.

SNORING?
SLEEP APNEA?
Most snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (Government website). Millions suffer needlessly and most can stop their nightly ordeals first night. NPN #80027595.
To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH � Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS � For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is #23 heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS �It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. � Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing.

Pain free in 2 weeks!
This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President #1 We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples:� Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON �My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA�I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON�Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK.�For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC�Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister.

Bruce Mitchell All of their previous albums hit either number one or two on our national sales charts and this new disc promises to do the same. There are more pop songs on Wicked Game than in the past, with crossover versions of Chris Isaak’s title track which many mistake for the wrong title, I Wanna Fall In Love, as well as Andrew Lloyd Webber’s theatrical smash Don’t Cry For Me Argentina. The most interesting song here from a popclassical point of view is the take of Roy Orbison’s Crying because, for decades, people have been enjoying Orbison for his sometimes overly dramatic take on pop originals
that became more or less mini-operas. These three songs open this new album making this a front loaded disc while the committed fan might want to search out the Deluxe CD and DVD version where the video includes 11 songs recorded last August at The London Coliseum. C+

al releases from the same label, but because both are unexpectedly underperforming on the national sales charts. While Evancho and Glee albums have sold platinum in the past it must be disconcerting to Columbia that the former has made its debut in the charts at the lowly No. 59 spot, while the latter performed even worse, coming in at the No. 66 position. Believe it or not, Just Bieber has the number one selling album in Canada right now with his mostly all original Christmas CD that he co-wrote for fat royalty earnings with a wide variety of helpers (and from the reviews I have read it is a real turd of an album) while Michael Buble’s far superior Yuletide release is at number two. So, the Evancho and Glee albums are maybe not selling so well because buyers have opted for the above two for seasonal fare. But maybe young Jackie Evancho is also a little too overexposed with this, her third release in a year, while the audience for the TV show Glee is fading just like all television series eventually do. Music-wise, the Evancho album is actually fairly decent with warm family fare and pleasant, not overbearing orchestrations. My only quibble is the pre-teen doesn’t seem like she is having very much youthful fun on solemn tunes like The First Noel, Away In A Manger and What Child Is This (indeed?).

‘I know the nightmare was mine, not his,’ Rose Braun Braun from B1 The answer was yes, and so they turned around and went home, and she never went back for a look. The exhibition of Braun’s artwork, entitled Requiem, was created in the immediate aftermath of Ron’s death and admittedly there are dark images in this collection that, if one really sits down to think about, would classify as disturbing. Knowing Ron died of cancer, the frozen face of Nightmare leaves one with a haunting empathy, the charcoal lines thrown down on the page with such vigour that one can feel the pain in each stroke. But it is not a portrait, Braun says, lifting a little of the weight imagined. “I know the nightmare was mine, not his,” she says. “Things just come to you and when things come to you, it’s always best not to question them.” The happy twin girls pictured at the end of the row seem to set the mind at ease. There are plenty of good times in this show, glimpses of a life gone by, of childhood lost but appreciated, of friends working out their roles in life and each other’s worlds. Braun herself went on to have a daughter and twin boys and said the experience showed her that twins have a relationship even before they are born, moving from one side to the other of their mother’s belly to compensate for one another’s needs. That perfect sense of symmetry is evident in the show and the artist herself as she shares a conversation, always ensuring equal room for the other to speak, glimpses of the Braun twins shared hu-
mour sparkling through self-depreciating commentary and an artist’s curious questions.
Whether in the sketch of the boy and his Welsh corgi that open the show or the repurposed metal
beautiful memories and the dark places found only in relationships of those who truly care.
Rose Braun’s Requiem runs now through Jan. 31 at the Kelowna Art Gallery. A complement-

Early Billy Joel remastered Mitchell from B2 jovial song, Ding Dong Merrily On High, is as close as Evancho gets to rockin’ around the Christmas tree—so let her be a kid the next time out! The Glee album is subtitled Volume 2 and maybe fans had enough from Vol.1 as this is similar with a couple of new originals and fare that is all too familiar including a closing version of the benefit song Do They Know It’s Christmas which always made me ask: I don’t know but are they even Christians?.

COUNTRY HEAT 2012: [SONY]
The Country Heat franchise has proven to be a popular one around this time of year as a fine stocking stuffer for the big country fan. Often these compilations sound like you’re turning on hot country radio as the albums are generally maxed out on big contemporary hits, and the 2012 edition is no different.
This is a generous offering at 15 tracks, but unlike last year’s release which had more up-tempo songs than usual, 2012 is loaded with ballads of all three types. There are power ballads like Ryan Laird’s I’m Your Man, sensitive country fare like Johnny Reid’s You Gave My Heart A Home and weepers like Kenny Chesney’s You and Tequila. The only full-on party songs here include Terri Clark’s wonderful makeover of Trooper’s evergreen We’re Here For A Good Time and Aaron Pritchett’s backwoods swampy Light It Up. A solid collection for fans of new country. B-
BILLY JOEL: THE PIANO MAN [COLUMBIA LEGACY]
Sony Corp. continues its Legacy releases with this two-CD set of Billy Joel’s second album and breakthrough release, Piano Man. The title song became Joel’s first hit and became a staple in his lengthy canon of well known songs, whereas Joel would take almost four more years until his second hit with Just The Way You Are (1978). Were it not for Piano Man the undersized Joel might, for better or for worse (depending on whether you are a fan or not), have packed it in. The studio album has been remastered for this re-issue but the real gem for fans here is the second CD that features the long bootlegged radio broadcast he did with WMMR Philadelphia way back in 1972 before Joel was anywhere near being a household name. In the early ’70s FM radio was totally free-form where the DJs chose all the music and did their own programming so that a total unknown like Joel could catch the ear of a local jock and get booked to do a late night gig with no restrictions. Joel got to play his controversial (for its time) song Captain Jack that became an underground hit, while Joel’s mercurial piano playing on these bare-boned recordings is something of a revelation. A minor complaint is that Sony has cleaned up a couple of the mistakes and miscues from the original bootleg but the live broadcast is definitely something big Billy Joel fans will want to check out.

KRISTEN STEWART (left) and Robert Pattinson return as Bella and Edward in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 1.
Twilight learns from Potter success
T
his weekend there are going to be some very big choices for two reasons. For many, it is choosing between Team Edward and Team Jacob. For me, living in West Kelowna, it is going to be choosing between Team Doug and Team Rosalind. rPlease take time this Saturday to vote. I find it ironic that municipal elections have the lowest turnout because local politicians have the most direct impact on your day-to-day lives as well as being the most accessible to address your concerns. Between local media and the Internet, it is easier than ever to find the candidates that you can most identify with, so use your voice. Leave 15 minutes early for your movie this Saturday and stop off at one of the convenient polling stations to exercise your right. •••
WE’RE MOVING.. .
MOVIE GUY
Rick Davis Now, back to Team Edward and Team Jacob. Taking a cue from the Harry Potter series, the final book in the Twilight series is being made into two movies with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part 1 being released this weekend and Part 2 coming next November. Part 1 sees the marriage of Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen but the bliss is cut short by a series of betrayals and misfortunes. After their wedding, Bella and Edward travel to Rio de Janeiro for their honeymoon and soon after that she discovers she is pregnant, setting off a chain of
events that could result in a battle between Edward’s family and the Volturi, the fearsome council of vampire leaders and an unforeseen and shocking development for Edward’s rival, Jacob Black. The first showings of Breaking Dawn—Part 1 start tonight at 10 p.m. at the Grand 10, Paramount and Capitol Theatres. And for those who are sad to see the end of both the Harry Potter and Twilight series, watch out for the big screen adaptation of the hugely popular Hunger Games trilogy, the first of the movies coming out in March of next year. ••• In 2006, Happy Feet became a world-wide hit grossing over $380 million. In Happy Feet Two, Elijah Wood returns as the voice of Mumble, the dancing penguin. However, he has a problem—his son Erik is reluctant to dance, es-
pecially after he meets a Puffin called The Mighty Sven (Hank Azaria) who Erik thinks is a flying penguin. However, Mumble has even bigger problems when his world is shaken by powerful forces, forcing him to bring the penguin nations together to help set things right. Robin Williams is back as the voice of Ramon and Lovelace, Pink taking over the role of Gloria from the late Brittany Murphy and listen for Brad Pitt and Matt Damon as the voices of a pair of krill named Bill and Will. Like the first movie, expect a lot of covers of popular songs, and at least one new song called Bridge of Light, performed by Pink.

He believes the thresholds in many areas of medicine have fallen too low. There are a few reasons why we are finding more sickness than ever before. First, our incredible technological advances over the past decades have made it easier to detect even minor abnormalities. We also do a lot more testing for a myriad of thingsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and we test for them in younger patients and more frequently than in the past.
Most of us are screened on a routine basis for a variety of conditions even when we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any symptoms. This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t all badâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; doctors are trained not to miss things and want to provide help as quickly as possible to ensure a disease remains treatable and to reduce the likelihood of disability or premature death.

It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do to simply paint broad brush strokes over all of medicine and assume all diagnosis is tainted by thresholds lower than they should be.

â&#x2013;ź RECYCLING
Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t toss away burned out Christmas lights If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re putting up new LED lights this year, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t throw your old light strings in the garbage. Recycle them. Simply take your old strings to a recycling depot near you. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Christmas light recycling program alone collected over seven metric tonnes of light strings, enough to fill a 53foot semi trailer,â&#x20AC;? said Rae Stewart, waste reduction facilitator with the regional district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of material that was repurposed into new product, instead
of taking up space in our landfill.â&#x20AC;? Stewart adds this is the sixth year the recycling depots have been accepting light strings, and power cords are also accepted as part of the program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recycling your old light strings instead of tossing them out is simple good sense, environmentally and financially,â&#x20AC;? Stewart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By upgrading your lights, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be saving energy and money on your electricity bill, as LED (light emitting diode) lights use up to 95 per cent

less energy than regular Christmas lights and last at least 10 times longer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plus, LED lights produce very little heat, so they reduce the risk of fire, which is essential for your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; safety.â&#x20AC;? Stewart says the strings brought to the depots are picked up by Planet Earth Recycling Ltd, delivered to Davis Trading in Vancouver, baled and exported for processing where the copper is recovered for new use in wiring and plumbing.

According to Welch, this not only contributes to soaring health care costs, but also subjects a lot of people to treatments that may be worse than the condition being treated. Patients on the borderline for many disorders are less likely to receive much benefit from treatments, yet still put themselves at risk of the treatmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side effects. Our legal culture has also affected this as physicians are much more likely to be sued over illnesses left untreated than over those they do treat.

Boston Pizza outlets in Kelowna reach out to help homeless The Boston Pizza restaurant locations in Kelowna will participate in the Inn from the Cold’s Dining Out to Help the Homeless dinner series. On Monday, Nov. 21, 6 p.m., the Boston Pizza outlets
on Dilworth and Harvey Avenues will provide customers with a starter salad and any of their delicious personal pizzas, plus coffee, tea or soft drink for $20 per person (including taxes and gratuities).
Half of that will go directly towards providing shelter, food and support services for those experiencing homelessness in Kelowna. “We’re thrilled to be partnering with Boston Pizza,” said
Tara Tschritter, coordinator at Inn from the Cold Kelowna. “The funds raised by people dining out on just one night go a long way to help us provide warm beds, healthy meals and outreach services for our
35 guests.” Information and tickets for the Boston Pizza dinner can be obtained at www.KelownaCares.com, or purchased at the Pitstop Husky on Gordon Drive.
Inn from the Cold Kelowna is a volunteer-based registered charity operating a low barrier co-ed 35-bed shelter to provide warm and safe refuge for both homeless men and women in Kelowna.

▼ SCHOOL TRUSTEE
Candidates respond to West Kelowna issues Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
West Kelowna residents got an opportunity to find out more about their school trustee candidates at a forum held on Tuedsady at Mount Boucherie Secondary School. Each candidate was given the opportunity to introduce him/herself and then the microphone was open to the audience to ask questions. Dan Summers was the first of the four candidates to introduce himself. For the past 11 years, Summers has been running a small music school. He has experience as a student supervisor at George Pringle Elementary. Tina Pomponio is a mother of three children who have all grown up on the Westside. She has been involved with parent advisory councils for 17 years, school planning councils for nine years and has been a parent ambassador at Mount Boucherie for eight years. Jerry Holowchak retired in 2010 after 37 years of teaching in the Vancouver and Kelowna school
districts. He has taught kindergarten to Grade 12 at six different Westside schools. Julia Fraser has been a businesswoman for 24 years. She has one year of experience in the classroom as a substitute teacher in School District 57. She is on the school planning council and is president of the Chief Tomat Elementary Parent Advisory Council. In the question portion of the evening, a West Kelowna teacher prefaced his query to the candidates by saying that teachers have continually been expected to do more with less. He asked: “At what point are you prepared to stand up to the government and say, ‘There is no more’?” Summers said that lobbying and squeaky wheels isn’t enough. “I would like to see a tsunami of revolt. I think there’s a lot of just plain silliness going on right now; the public at large has no idea how the budgets have been cut,” he said. Pomponio said that the school trustees can’t stop lobbying the government for funds.
“When you have $4.7 million cut, which results in 17 teacher jobs lost and 22 support staff lost, that makes a difference in the classroom setting. It makes a difference in what the teachers can provide for the classes,” said Pomponio. Holowchak said that he’d be open to looking at “outside the box” methods of lobbying the government. But, for now, he is committed to writing letters and speaking to the local MLA. “At this point, I think all we can do is be the squeaky wheel,” said Holowchak. Fraser said that teachers need to be given the resources necessary to provide education to children. “As far as lobbying government, I believe that we can’t be afraid of rejection. We need to be persistent and keep going back until they get it right,” said Fraser. West Kelowna council candidate Cathy Sinclair was in attendance, and took advantage of her opportunity to ask school trustee candidates, “How
WADE PATERSON/CAPITAL NEWS
JULIA FRASER speaks to the audience at the West Kelowna and Peachland/RDCO West School Trustee Candidates Forum on Tuesday evening at Mount Boucherie Secondary School. will you ensure that all of the schools on the Westside become community hubs? And how will you ensure that learning takes place in these schools from birth into adulthood?” Summers said that he envisions schools as being a major asset to the communities that they’re in. He also suggested that a school can be lent out to help the community or to help its own finances. “There’s a potential income generator there, if an organization wants to
pay rent on the building or gymnasium,” said Summers. Pomponio said she supports schools partnering with community groups to enhance services for the community. “There are lots of programs that we can (host at schools) such as strong start programs, early learning, before and after school programs and many others,” said Pomponio. Holowchak said his experience working with the Boys and Girls Club
was a great example of what the community can do when it partners up and works together. “I think you continue looking at those service clubs and professional groups and see how they can impact (the community),” said Holowchak. Fraser said that in order to create community, we need to seriously review the catchment areas. “I know at least 20 families are commuting their children from Chief Tomat Elementary School area to Rose
Valley or Shannon Lake schools. We need to seriously review and consider changing those catchment areas so that the children stay within their community,” said Fraser. The forum was hosted by The Central Okanagan Parent Advisory Council and the Central Okanagan Teachers’ Association. See story on B1 about what the Peachland/ RDCO West school trustee candidates had to say at Tuesday’s forum. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com
▼ NANCEE WAY UNDERPASS
Traffic realigned on Highway 97 Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
West Kelowna drivers may have noticed that their commute on Highway 97 was slightly more winding on Tuesday morning. And it’s going to be that way until next summer. The transition to realign traffic between Westside and Boucherie Roads began on Monday evening around 7 p.m. Evelyn Lube, communications supervisor for the Westside Road Interchange Project, said the transi-
tion “went smooth.” “The purpose of the realignment is to keep traffic moving while we do the excavation and create the underpass,” said Lube. “The realignment (will) keep two lanes of traffic in each direction moving right through the remainder of the project.” The project is set to be complete by the summer of 2012. A couple weeks ago, phase one of the project was completed with the official opening of the Westside Road Interchange. Since the overpass was opened,
Lube said there haven’t been any problems. Lube warned motorists to be cautious as the speed limit is still 60 km/h throughout the realigned portion. “We hope that people respect the 60 km/h construction zone. There are going to be workers and equipment beginning this week,” said Lube. “There will be a lot of activity so we encourage motorists to keep their eyes on the road and obey the speed limit.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

DRIVERS ARE being warned to be mindful of the 60 km/h speed limit throughout the Nancee Way realigned portion of Highway 97. Speeding in a construction zone means the fines are doubled.

Peachland and RDCO West candidates address their issues Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The three candidates running for the sole school trustee position in the Peachland/RDCO West electoral area got a chance to answer questions and present their platforms on
Tuesday evening. The School Trustee Candidates Forum, held at Mount Boucherie Secondary School, saw Moyra Baxter, Lindsay Bell and Karin Cruikshank face off as they answered questions posed by the audience.
Westside Youth
To start the evening, the candidates introduced themselves. Baxter was first elected as the Peachland Trustee to the Central Okanagan School Board in 1996. She served six years as board chairperson and was instrumental in bring-
ing the Rotary Club’s One-to-One Reading Program to Peachland Elementary School. She has also volunteered extensively in the community. Incumbent councillor Lindsay Bell is running for both school trustee and Peachland council.

She said that running for both positions won’t be a problem because she is required to report any conflicts of interest. Bell said that her experience on council combined with her vested interest in the education system makes her a solid candidate for school trustee. Cruikshank is an oriental medical doctor by profession and a parent of a son with autism. She said that her ability to fundraise and get money effectively will help a system that has a lack of money for special needs students. After introductions,

members of the audience had an opportunity to ask their own questions to candidates. One West Kelowna teacher said that teachers are expected to continually do more with less. “At what point are you prepared to stand up to the government and say, ‘There is no more’?” Baxter said that she has been fighting, and will continue to fight for funding. “Our board has written so many letters that we actually have got the message: Don’t bother writing anymore. But we still go on writing and meet with our MLAs on a regular basis. We have to keep

pushing for more money,” said Baxter. Bell was optimistic, saying it’s important to keep writing letters to those who have access to funding and grants. “It might just take one more letter to the government,” said Bell. Cruikshank said that the education ministers are totally unaware of what the situation is. “I don’t have a problem taking it up to the highest CEO. “I’m going to look at this in a completely different way; you can’t solve the problem using the same methodology,” said Cruikshank.

After paying their respects, many residents made their way to the Westbank Lions Community Centre to enjoy a free lunch and refreshments.

Political leadership sought for assisted suicide issue W
est Kelowna resident Gloria Taylor is suffering from Lou Gehrig’s disease. As the disease progresses, Gloria will become more and more paralyzed. She will become bed-ridden and unable to move. She will die when the muscles required to sustain life, such as for breathing, fail. There will be severe pain, such as from her in-
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott ternal organs pressing against her spine once the muscles holding them in place fail. Perhaps the worst part is that she is likely to be
fully aware of and feel what is going on right through to her last, gasping breath. Gloria wants to be able to end her life at the point when living becomes a living hell. By that point, though, she will no longer be physically capable of committing suicide. Assisted suicide continues to be a criminal offence. Unless section 241 of the Criminal Code is done away with or
West Kelowna’s Full Service Small Animal Hospital
changed, anyone assisting Gloria with her choice to end her life will be subject to criminal prosecution. Gloria’s situation provides a compelling argument in favour of decriminalizing assisted suicide. There are also, however, situations that provide equally compelling arguments against it. Allowing assisted suicide arguably opens the door to the abuse of the elderly, disabled and people who may worry about being a “burden to society.” It could be the
“thin edge of the wedge” leading to helping death along for selfish reasons, rather than to end suffering. Perhaps section 241 could be replaced with new legislation that is carefully drafted to give folks like Gloria the choice of a merciful death while protecting against abuse. Perhaps it should stay the way it is. Unfortunately, there has been insufficient political will to wrestle with these issues. Why not? For one, it is one of
those minority rights issues that impacts on the lives of only a small number of voters. This issue could also cost votes in an election because many voters are members of churches that believe assisted suicide is sinful. It takes a government more concerned about the good of the people and less concerned about winning the next election to take on issues like this. I am not offering an opinion of what should happen with section 241—if anything, I’m

He is arguing that section 241 infringes on Gloria’s individual rights and freedoms enshrined in the Charter of Rights and should be struck down. This has all played itself out before. In 1992, Sue Rodriguez, who also suffered from Lou Gehrig’s, sued the government in almost identical circumstances. She lost her case at trial. She appealed her case all the way up to the Supreme Court of Canada. She lost by a narrow majority vote of 5-4. In my view, policy issues like assisted suicide should not be determined by judges. Whether or not Gloria will be able to lawfully get the assistance she needs to end what inevitably will be a living hell should not be decided on the basis of legal arguments to determine whether one piece of legislation is so contradictory to another piece of legislation that it ought to be struck down. In my view, our federally elected leaders should step up to the plate right now and do the work they should have done years ago. Perhaps invite the lawyers arguing the lawsuit to make their submissions to Parliament. Perhaps strike a commission to thoroughly review the matter. However it is done, they should carefully consider the matter and make a principled decision. The reality is that the government can trump the Supreme Court of Canada anyway, even if Gloria is legally successful, by invoking something called the “notwithstanding clause.” Please, federally elected leaders—lead. If you agree, please forward this to your MP with your approval (kelownacapnews. com). It will not mean you are in favour of assisted suicide. It will mean that you are in favour of giving the matter careful and thorough consideration and making a principled decision. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law. paul@hlaw.ca

GOREAS NICHOLAS, DEMETRIUS Part of our shore has been washed away and we are less for it. Demetrius Nicholas Goreas, born Keramedi, Greece, January 14th, 1936. Passed away on Friday evening, November 11, 2011 in Kelowna B.C. We have lost a loving husband, father, grandfather (Papou) and friend to everyone who knew him. Jimmy, aka “Jimmy The Greek”, came to Canada in December of 1956 and became a Millwright. He was employed at S&K Plywood in Kelowna, B.C., for 44 years, from 1957 to 2001. He never said a negative word about anyone. He loved everyone. He put his family before himself everyday of his life. Our father became ill with ALS this last year. As time passed, it became difficult for him to smile and to breathe but he never gave up trying. Even as his illness overwhelmed him, he did not complain or become angry, discouraged, or loose his patience and say, “WHY ME?” Most of the time he would shrug his shoulders and smile, and when he smiled he would light up the entire room and all those around him. He was a quiet man who taught us a great deal about the beauty of life through his actions. In his very last moments he taught us the secret to life, a secret that we forget all the time. The secret is that the greatest treasure in this life is your family, their love for you and your love for them. Thank you, dad, for being the most generous, kind, thoughtful and selfless husband, father, Papou, and friend we will ever know. Good Night Dad KALINIKTA BABA Pre-deceased by his parents Nicholas and Jasmine, sister Helen, and brother Sarantis. Demetrius Nicholas Goreas is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Louise, his sons Douglas (Roxane) of Maple Ride, B.C., Wade (Charline) of Sarnia, Ontario, James (Karen) of Shawnigan Lake, B.C., Lee (Jennifer) of Toronto, Ontario, and his daughter Allison (John) of Kelowna. Also survived by his brother Tommy, grandchildren Robert, Madison, Jasmine, Colin, Justin, Helene, Demetra, and one great-grandson DeAndre, and many nieces and nephews. A Funeral Service will be held Friday, November 18, at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 696 Glenmore Road, Kelowna, B.C. at 3pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the ALS Society, 1233-13351 Commerce Parkway, Richmond, B.C. V6V 2X7

WILFRED “WILLIE” ROMETSCH June 13, 1936 - November 4, 2011
Christmas Craft Corner BALMORAL ARTS & CRAFT SALE
Willie Rometsch was a character larger than life. Willie passed away on November 4, enveloped by the love of his wife Karen and his three children, Marina, Christian and Stefan. Willie was born in Bad Wildbad, Germany to parents Frieda Rosa (Friedel) and Hermann, and was virtually raised, along with younger brothers’ Hermann (Mogel) and Hans by his older sister Trudel. He grew up during the Second World War, and in the aftermath, quickly learned to be a crafty, clever, very street smart young man. These qualities served him well through his entire life. At the age of twelve, Willie began his apprenticeship to become a chef, at the Sommerberg Hotel in Bad Wildbad and quickly mastered the skills required for his chosen profession. In his early 20’s he moved to Sweden and it was there that he officially became a Master Chef. He had the honor of cooking for the King of Sweden, and for Noble Prize dinners. His next position was as head chef aboard a luxury cruise line for the “around the world” cruises. The many amazing experiences he had during this time, affected him greatly, and he became an avid traveler—a pleasure he enjoyed for the rest of his life. After Germany, Italy was his favorite destination, having much in common with the fun-loving Italians. He and one of his best friends eventually purchased a farm house, vineyard and olive grove in Montalcino, Italy. Willie moved to Houston, Texas and married his Swedish girlfriend, Berit, and worked as Executive Chef for several major hotels. After a short time he was able to open his first restaurant, The Bismarck, together with his friend Mike Steinmann. Many other restaurants, nightclubs and business ventures were to follow. After his divorce, Willie met and married Evinia, who was from Kelowna. She introduced him to the many charms of the Okanagan. After a long and extremely successful restaurant career, Willie earned a Michelin star for his restaurant the Rivoli and he later semi-retired from the business. In the 1980’s he opened 2 nightclubs in Arizona, and 1983 he met his 3rd wife Karen. They married in 1988 and had 3 remarkable children, Marina, Christian and Stefan. These three children were the light of his life, and to quote Willie “My greatest achievement of all”. Willie and Karen moved to Kelowna, BC, Canada in 1990, where they built a beautiful home and established a wonderful network of friends and business associates. Willie was a man that one could hardly help but love. He was charismatic and generous. He hugged, kissed and charmed everyone he met and will be missed by everyone who had the good fortune to know him. He wanted you to know that if you think you’ve had a brilliant idea, you didn’t, it was him whispering in your ear! We ask that his many friends and fans to remember him, celebrate his life! In lieu of flowers, please donate to “THE WILLIE ROMETSCH FOUNDATION FUND”. You can visit them by going to www.centralokanaganfoundation.org. click orange button DONATE NOW next click on the red button DONATE NOW and you should see the “THE WILLIE ROMETSCH FOUNDATION FUND”.
