WFN proposes meeting with district council Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
On Oct. 11, Chief Robert Louie penned a letter to West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater, requesting a meeting between their respective councils. The purpose of the meeting would be to discuss the issues involving the exchange lands arising out of the Westside Road Interchange project, the proposed addition to the reserve of Old Ferry Wharf Road and the proposed addition to the reserve of the Devon Road property arising out of the Campbell Road Interchange Project. On Tuesday evening, district council agreed to the meeting—as long as it isn’t hidden from the public eye. Council passed a motion to respond immediately to the chief and council, thanking them and requesting an open meeting at the earliest convenience of both councils. Council also moved that the meeting have an agenda, prepared by the chief of the WFN, the mayor of West Kelowna and the chief administrative officers for both the district and the WFN. The only council member opposed to the motion was Coun. Carol Zanon, who said that the meeting should take place after the district has the opportunity to meet with B.C. Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Blair Lekstrom. “I certainly endorse saying thank you to the chief and council for their invitation, that I would like it to be an open meeting and that I would like it to be as soon as possible, but I certainly don’t want to go there until we solve our own issue and get the basic facts,” said Zanon. Other councillors agreed that meeting with Lekstrom first would be ideal; however, there’s no indication on how long it may take for that to happen. “It would obviously be better if the meeting took place after we had the opportunity to consult with Minister Lekstrom. But if we haven’t, we haven’t,” said Coun. Duane Ophus. Coun. Rosalind Neis also stated that she isn’t willing to wait for Lekstrom. “(Lekstrom) has said that he may have time in December, but I’m not holding my breath. WFN is right next door, we need to start discussions,” said Neis. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

JIM ELLIOT picks an apple from one of the trees in his orchard. Elliot has said he won’t seek re-election for another term as president of the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative
▼ OKANAGAN TREE FRUIT CO-OPERATIVE
Difficult issues to face a new president Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
It’s frustrating, concedes Jim Elliot, president of the Okanagan Tree Fruit Co-operative. He figures he grows about a million pounds of apples a year on his Oyama acreage, which
JACOBSEN E X C E L L E N C E
2727 HWY. 97 N., KELOWNA 860-7700•www.jacobsen.ca
contribute about $1.4 million to the local economy at the retail level. However, he only gets around 20 cents a pound for them and he’s barely able to cover his costs of production with that. The situation is even bleaker for many growers, because the industry’s
average return is even less than what Elliot gets. He admits he’s a high cost producer because he doesn’t have a large family that’s able to help out in the business and he pays well for labour. “It’s just not sustainable,” he says flatly. “I’m proud of what we’re do-
ing, but society has to decide whether they want this industry or not.” That frustration is part of the reason he’s stepping down after three years as the first president of the OTFC, an amalgamation of the valley’s four largest packinghouse co-operatives, which was created

NEWS ▼ JOHN HOWARD SOCIETY
Home reno training skills put to the test Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
There’s something about the number three that really seems to get the ball rolling. On one hand, three strikes can be pretty punishing if your luck has run out. On the other, three times can be a charm leading to all kinds of new possibilities. While the folks involved in the John Howard Society’s new employment program REnEW might be more familiar with counting strikes, their latest effort has seen them build a charming future for many others recovering from addictions. “This house actually had the equivalent of a two-foot square hole in it when we did the energy testing,” said Ron Brewer, owner of UK Trades and the contractor helping the REnEW students renovate a Kelowna recovery home. “With this reno, we’ve made it much more livable, really brightened the place up,” said Brewer. “It
was pretty dark in here.” ReNew, or Residential Energy and Efficiency Works, gives a class of roughly a dozen people the chance to learn new skills and compile the certifications necessary to retrofit buildings with energy upgrades. It is targeted at those looking to come back into the workforce generally from their own background of addiction, homelessness, or underemployment. “This reno would be about the equivalent of a $50,000 reno,” explained Brewer, who says the John Howard Society is getting the project free through donated materials and funding from industry backers like FortisBC. This is the third class and this latest training has helped JHS retrofit and drastically upgrade a recovery house, replacing windows, adding insulation, changing lighting and repainting and upgrading many aesthetic elements as well. The participants receive fall protection cer-

Those who participate are either unemployed or underemployed with little recent job experience and no employment insurance, many one step removed from a life on the streets. “The students get breakfast and lunch and their certifications,” said
Shelley Cook, executive director of the JHS. The non-profit works in partnership with FortisBC on the program, with financial backing from BC Hydro as well. Of the two previous classes, 70 per cent of participants are now gainfully employed, though there is a seasonal element to the work, Cook said, and the JHS staff say the success comes partly from careful selection. “I look for people who are ready to make a change, are interested in
construction, and those who other non-profits think might be a good fit,” said Sam Beeson, program co-ordinate responsible for selecting participants. Some 11 participants and nine employees of UK Trades went to work on this latest project and it went so well UK Trades is expanding as a result. Brewer is forming a second company, One Step Maintenance, to help the graduates obtain employment after graduation—at least until they’re
ready to leave the nest. For participant William Dyck, it was just the new beginning he needed. Admitting he was not very interested in construction to start with, he says the program opened a door and a sense of possibility he didn’t have with his Grade 11 education. “As I’ve been doing it I’m becoming more and more interested,” said Dyck, noting he’ll be starting work for the JHS when he’s done. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Alleged Mantler assault victim faces drug charges Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
One of the men who claims he was assaulted by a notorious Kelowna cop is dealing with his own legal woes. Manjeet Singh Bhatti, who will be the Crown’s main witness in an assault trial for Kelowna RCMP Const. Geoff Mantler, turned himself into police late Wednesday morning, just over a week after a warrant
G IN H C RI N E
was issued for his arrest. Bhatti faces three charges of trafficking in a controlled substance, and is among 21 suspects police rounded up in an drug sting that focused on cocaine dealers in the downtown core. Const. Steve Holmes pointed out that Bhatti was not singled out for his actions, just part of a street level drug operation conducted in late September. That sting resulted in under-
cover officers making 40 cocaine and one heroin buy from 13 men and eight women. Two of the buys were from two 17-year-olds, who were the youngest of the group. “The oldest dealer was 44 years of age,” said Holmes. “One of the dealers is from Vernon and the rest are local.” Several of the dealers were arrested on sight, and warrants were obtained for the rest of the individuals charged.
A court date will be scheduled for Bhatti, but in the meantime he’ll likely be seen in June when he faces off against Const. Mantler, who he alleges assaulted him Aug. 30, 2010. The second charge against Mantler stemmed from a Jan. 7 arrest, when he was filmed kicking a prone suspect in the head. The film of that episode made national news and sparked an outcry against police brutality.
SUSPECTS SOUGHT
Police are seeking the public’s help in locating the following: Justin Morgan Sheena, Darren Campbell Jamieson, Griffin Anthony Gagnon, Michael Patrick Gardiner and Lisa Crowther. If anyone has any information on the whereabouts of these individuals, contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

THE ROADSHOW IS FINALLY COMING TO KELOWNA! B Michael By: Mi h l R Ross Great Canadian Roadshow Staff Writer
After a successful week in Chilliwack, the roadshow is coming
to Kelowna! So you better search through your attics and basements, go through your lock boxes and jewelry, because you may be sitting on a small fortune and not evenknow it! Roadshow experts are here to examine all your antiques, collectibles, gold, and silver.
“We have noticed a substantial increase in the amountof precious metals such as gold and silver coming to theRoadshow, which makes sense considering how high it’s currently trading at.” During our show in Victoria, a woman came in with a jewelry box that she had just inherited from her late aunt. “I don’t wear jewelry,” explained Cheryl Barnes, “so it was an easy decision to come down to the Roadshow to sell it”. She was very excited when she was able to walk away with a cheque for over $2,100 for jewelry she was never going to wear anyways. Expert Cliff Edwards explains, “We have noticed a substantial increase in the amount of precious metals such as gold and silver
coming to the Roadshow,which makes sense considering how high it’s currently trading at. He added,“ The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people’s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dustin basements and jewelry boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot! ” At another Roadshow event, a woman walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that were given to her as a young child by her grandfather. She finally decided to come in to the Roadshow and see what he had given her. She was ecstatic to learn she had coins dating back to the late 1800’s, some of which were extremely rare. Roadshow consultant Raymond Flack explains “We had uncovered an 1871 Queen Victoria 50 Cent piece, valued at over $2,000!! She also had a nice assortment of coins that were not rare dates, but she was able to sell them for their silver content”. All in all, Roadshow customer Linda Donaldson was able to cash in with $4,500! “I’m so happy,” Linda explains, “I never would have thought that my old tin of coins was worth so much! I can finally afford to renovate my kitchen.” Raymond Flack continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we

have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value.” Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures. “I’m so happy,” Linda explains, “I never would have thought that my old tin of coins was worth so much! I can finally afford to renovate my kitchen.” A man brought in a 1950’s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box. We were able to locate a collector for that specific toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and nd a few other small toys. So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, we will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

▼ VOTING
Technology to increase accessibility for voters New technology will increase accessibility for Kelowna voters in the 2011 election. A voter assist terminal will be offered at the City Hall voting location, open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Nov. 16 to 19. “Accessibility is important so everyone can have an opportunity to exercise their right to vote,” said chief election officer Karen Needham. “The voter assist terminal allows voters with disabilities and other special needs to mark their ballot privately and independently; and builds on our other efforts to make voting accessible, such as offering mail-in voting and special voting to those in the hospital and special care facilities.” All voting locations
are also accessible for persons with disabilities and with election officials offering assistance with voting, either within the voting location, or curbside if voters are physically unable to leave their vehicle. The voter assist terminal does not count or store votes; rather, it is a ballot-marking system designed to provide privacy and accessibility to voters with vision loss, or who have a disability or condition that would make it difficult or impossible to mark a ballot. Even a temporary condition, such as a broken arm, could make it diffi-
cult for a person to mark a ballot. “An audio function allows the voter to listen through headphones and they can easily choose to repeat the choices, if necessary,” said Needham. The audio is a synthesized voice that enables the voter to control the speed and volume at which the ballot is read. The audio function also allows the voter to review a marked ballot after their choices are made by reading it back to them. On the touch screen, a zoom feature enables the voter to increase the font size as well as adjust the
contrast of the screen. These features may be especially helpful for voters who are sighted but have limited vision or macular degeneration.

Gun registry fiscal waste to end
T
he looming end of the federal long gun registry is a good omen for tax-
payers. It shows that the federal government is actually willing to get rid of programs that serve no purpose, and waste tax dollars unnecessarily. While the Conservatives have long had this program in their sights, let’s hope there are more to follow. The gun registry was, from the very beginning, a highly political move. The Liberals,
under then justice minister Allan Rock, wanted to show city voters that they would be tough on gun owners. It was all about cementing urban voting blocs, and for the most part, it worked. The Liberals’ crumbling power base remains at its strongest in big city downtowns, particularly Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. However, one reason that Liberal support has dramatically fallen off in other areas is the gun registry, which has been a waste of almost $2 billion, and
has done almost nothing to stop crime. Police access the database frequently, but all it does it alert them to the possibility that there may be guns in a specific home. It has been used to arrest legitimate gun owners whose only offence has been improper storage. Yet the registry does nothing to stop gun violence— most of which is committed with unregistered handguns smuggled into Canada from the U.S. There is definitely a place for
a registry for handguns, as has been in place in Canada since the 1930s. But there is no place for a registry of rifles and shotguns that are used for sport. They are almost never used in crimes. What is helpful is storage requirements, including trigger locks, storage of ammunition away from the firearm, and locked cabinets. All of these keep guns from being used for the wrong purposes. But the registry is simply an insult to law-abiding citizens.

t’s unfortunate that too much focus on the Occupy protest movement spreading across North America is spent on what the people look like or their lack of appropriate etiquette. Those of us passing on those disparaging comments need to spend a little more time understanding what is at stake. In Kelowna, the incident at city hall on Monday was a prime example Occupy protesters were vilified as conspirators, complainers and agitators because of their actions and appearance. But these people are but a fragment of a larger movement that has not yet found its political voice, and that’s because politicians, par-
ticularly in the U.S., are scared to give the movement one. Why? Because it’s an election year down south and the conservative vs. liberal fight to see who can be the most irrational, ignorant voter base is currently in full rage. U.S. radio commentator Rush Limbaugh called the New York City protesters “human debris.” Might the conservative hotliner use the same words to describe his beloved Tea Party supporters who wear sidearms to a public meeting? Not likely. My guess is that ultimate-
ly President Barack Obama will embrace the message that people are protesting about, because he already knows that real change on many differBarry ent levels is needed to Gerding save their country from economic suicide. But with both the Democrat and Republican political parties beholden to corporate campaign fundraising interests, finding a noble path in a corrupt forest can be hard to come by. But when that does happen, a clearer consensus on what the Occupy movement stands for will emerge.
EDITOR’S NOTE
Those who can remember the 1960s will recall that it is was young people who bucked the establishment in the U.S. to bring about civil rights and to expose the Vietnam war for the sham that it was. Their message back then was also openly disparaged, equated to being nothing more than a bunch of pot smoking, long-haired hippies who should stop protesting and get a job. Sounds familiar. But that generation lit a fire under the U.S. establishment that transformed their country. That same opportunity exists again, with the enemy this time not being the Communists or racial bigotry, but a nation’s own economic ex-
pectations. Such a vague protest target extends to many branches of U.S. society, hence that lack of a cohesive message. But that will come. The 24-hour media hype newscycle may have a hard time waiting for that to develop, but they need to focus more on the why of the Occupy movement and a little less on the who. To put all this angst in some perspective consider this: Apple Computers is one of the most successful companies in the world, a corporate American icon, and yet it employs more people in China than it does in the U.S. Once again, we are so fortunate to live in Canada. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

B.C. provincial police force needs more thought To the editor: Re: Our View: Policing Plan Backfires, Oct. 25 Capital News. Perhaps these two groups of people should, as you say, look at the long
term fall outs. Have the feds even considered that if they ‘pull’ RCMP services, to get their own way, they will have thousands of cops and civilians on unemployment? Labour
and benefits are generally the most of a budget. Then the province would have a good pool of cops to choose from for a provincial force. Perhaps these two groups
could actually be “for the people, by the people” and get their butts back to the table and make some compromises so both parties can save face and make improvements. I
would suggest, like your editorial said, that they act like adults and get back to actually doing some work instead of dual threats. Laura MacDonald, Surrey

▼ HANDICAP UNFRIENDLY
Kelowna difficult for the wheelchair-bound To the editor: Kelowna seems to be, by most measures, one of the best places on earth to live. I can’t imagine a better or more beautiful place in which to work, live, play and eventually raise my children. It is an almost perfect place to live—unless, of course, you are an individual with a handicap. In this ‘able-ist’ society it is hard to imagine what it might be like to be unable to walk up to your favourite store, open the door, and shop at your leisure without having to worry about the size of the aisles or whether or not you can fit yourself and your wheelchair into the change room. It is also easy to overlook the fact that the restaurant at which you made a reservation has three small steps leading to the entrance—easily overcome by an able walking person but hell for the person in a wheelchair or with a painful disability like lupus. I don’t blame the citizens of Kelowna who are able-bodied for overlooking these daily challenges. As able-bodied
people we have the privilege of not thinking about it—or if we do think about persons with disabilities it is when the times are exceptional, like during a telethon or the Paralympics. There is hardly a thought put into the daily lives of people who live with these challenges in the day-to-day goings-on of life. I am an able-bodied person but my younger sister is not. She uses a wheelchair to get around and she has for her whole life. And for her entire life she has had to make exceptions in her day-to-day living simply because the world (and Kelowna) is not accommodating. Sure, there are ramps here and there at local businesses and a lot of big box stores have motion censored doors and big aisles to walk through. But really, think about the average business in the downtown core. Think about the small doorways and little steps just to get in. Every single day my sister has to plan to be wherever it is she is going at least 10 minutes early to make sure it is accessible
for her to get in. Once she is in it might be another story. Often bathrooms are too small—or if they are wide enough the sink is too high which can be hard to manoeuvre without another person helping. One of the biggest challenges for my hockey-loving sister is trying to find wheelchair seating at a weekly Rockets hockey game. For an average hockey game Prospera place can seat approximately 6,800 people at capacity (including suites). Of those 6,800 seats approximately only 26 of them are wheelchair accessible. That means that .003 per cent of the arena is open to persons who are unable to walk or stand. Luckily for my sister the personnel at Prospera Place are excellent at trying to find seating for her when she would like to see a game. However, she will never have the luxury of just walking (or rolling!) up to the box office and buying a ticket at the last minute because weeks of planning must go into any sort of event like this. I write this letter to-
day because I know that city council elections are coming up and I am tired of seeing the struggle my sister goes through to do the things that I take for granted. I am tired of seeing her disappointed face when we are turned away from a restaurant because there is no physical space for her wheelchair or seeing her wait outside of a store because the door is too narrow. And I am definitely tired of the folks who claim, “Oh gee, I never thought of that before,”
and basically rendering my sister (and others like her) invisible in a town that should be, in theory, inclusive to all. I hope this letter may provide some information to the ‘able-bodied’ citizens and business owners of Kelowna and may you read this and educate yourselves and make Kelowna a little more accessible to all.

His first building project got started after he and his wife purchased a house when they returned to their home town of Nelson, and decided to start a family. “My wife’s a teacher and I’m in theatre so it was a bit of a fixer-upper and the deck was my first project,” he said. In the real life tale, Myers enlisted the help of his father-in-law, a retired building inspector, who would drop by on a daily basis to give him some tips. He discovered a 2X6 board is, in fact, a 1.5-foot by five-foot board. The “two” and the “six” are measurements from the
mill’s settings before it’s sliced. He mulled over the true meaning of terms like galvanized nail—a “catalyst” in the English language but a zinc-coated nail in construction. “It’s like this different world, and these words are all in our everyday language, but they have a totally different meaning,” he said. “So I knew there was enough there to build a story around.” The play will take shape Nov. 10 and 11, 7:30 p.m., in the Rotary Centre for the Arts.

dent leadership at Mount Boucherie Secondary School. “They surveyed all the students, came up with the stats and divided it between Westbank First Nation, West Kelowna and Peachland. They did a presentation to all three councils and indicated what things they felt would be helpful as future action to work towards resolving some of their concerns.” West Kelowna council was intrigued by the students’ presentation. After hearing from the youth, the district suggested a youth forum would be a good way for leaders to engage with youth, hear their opinions on different subjects and debate future action that would benefit youth in the community. Each roundtable will be made up of eight people—three adults and five youth. Members of Peachland and West Kelowna council, youth workers and support staff who work with youth will be the adults who attend the roundtable discussions. Middle and secondary school students will be distributed among the tables to represent various student groups in different schools. The ideas to be discussed were derived from both youth and elected officials. “(Youth safety and se-
curity) was predominately youth driven. In terms of youth programs and activities, councils want to (talk about) that because they want to know if the current programs they are offering are appropriate or if they need to be enhanced,” said Maier. “Communication to youth would be a concern on both sides. (Adults) are feeling that youth are not engaged and youth are feeling that they’re not being communicated to. Youth recognition was one specifically that councils wanted to bring forward in terms of how they could recognize positive contributions of youth in the community.” Maier said that this event will be beneficial for everyone involved. “There will actually be youth talking to people who determine funding and determine what kind of programs are created for them. It will establish a communication link between youth and key members of the community.” Because it’s brand new, Maier isn’t sure what shape the event will take. “I hear a lot of complaints from students; they don’t like how things work. So I thought… maybe they should be taking more of an activist role on their own behalf and engaging the people that make decisions. I think it will be very interesting to see where it goes.”

Input sought on Lakeshore bridge replacement options Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Forget previous plans for the replacement of the Lakeshore Road bridge that spans Mission Creek. Kelowna city staffers are taking off the table drawings that were previously shown in open houses, and offering a more holistic view of an upgrade of the well-used road through the Mission. Now they’re looking to engage the public on their view of an up-
grade aimed at increasing the capacity of the main wastewater track, improving the continuity of the Greenway and the connectivity of transportation —and the bridge is just a small part. “We wanted a process that was all inclusive, and to capture all input from community going forward,” said Peter Truch, manager of transportation and mobility. First of three stages to actualizing new plans is a facilitated workshop for
participants aimed at getting a feel for the “values and concerns” related to the plan. Next, there will be another open house, where the information gleaned from the previous session is put to work in preliminary designs. Lastly, there will be another open house that will close the loop for all involved parties. Although the new process includes more public consultations, mayor and council did express some

confusion about the move that appeared to be backtracking. “So there wasn’t a bridge already planned,” Mayor Sharon Shepherd asked. “That’s what people thought…We have residents who are trying to design a plan for us.” City staffer Randy Cleveland explained that previous plans were designed with a bid for Gas Tax funding at the top of mind. This is a road that would ordinarily be paid for with a combination of taxation of the public and development cost charge fees, which come from developers. To keep the burden on the taxpayer down, they went for the federal funding, but needed a “defensible plan” and the $8 million girder bridge plan that Mission residents may have been familiar with, fit that need. “When we started this process we went to the public with an open house, before a Gas Tax application was done,” said Cleveland, explaining that the feedback gained from that session taught city staffers that there may be a need for some further tweaks to the plan. The renewed process, he said, is not about throwing away past work.

“It’s a matter of reconfirming and augmenting criteria…to ensure everybody has had an option to discuss criteria,” he said. “It doesn’t hurt us one bit to come forward and
say this is the history… if we’ve missed something, this is the time to talk about it and if we’ve missed something really significant, then the workshop will allow us to re-
prioritize.” An invite-only meeting on the project will be held in November and a public meeting is slated for January. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

were ramped up and expanded requirements have put more pressure on growers and added more costs to producing fruit. The change in regulatory regime is even more costly for a large company. Staff reductions have been made at the unified co-operative but severance packages have meant that actual cost savings have not become obvious yet. Currency changes in the past few years have meant that Canadian exports have not enjoyed the same advantages they did

previously. Then, to add to all the other frustrations, growers wanting to transition out of the industry have found that property prices and a shortage of buyers make the cost of leaving prohibitive. “Only three orchards have sold in the Okanagan in the past year,” he notes. The new co-op has also found federal Agriflex funding may be available, but it’s not easy to get. Several proposals by the packinghouse have not received approval from the bureaucrats, who find something to object to in every one, says Elliot. And finally, with the high cost of union employees increasing the costs of packing, a number of independent, nonunion packinghouses have begun to spring up around the valley, further fracturing the industry and providing competition for the co-op often within its own membership, he says. The OTFC had hoped
to sell off some of its properties where packing facilities have been closed in the past few years, or where more-efficient use of the amalgamated coop could be made, but the current real estate market makes this a difficult time to make the best use of those assets. Because of all this, some growers have decided that amalgamation was perhaps not the best decision, but Elliot says it would have been even more costly for the industry if it hadn’t unified when it did. “Some growers’ expectations are very high,” he commented. He says there are a couple of irate growers whose comments leave him awake for hours at night considering how best to respond to them— and he wonders whether they’d listen to him anyway. Elliot says he has a ski pass and a golf membership that he hasn’t got

good value for in the past three years, while he sat on the OTFC board. “And, my orchard is suffering,” he adds. He grows 25 to 30 acres of apples and eight acres of late cherries. Growers, he says, must do a better job of producing good quality fruit and must ship to the packinghouse only the fruit that will make money, leaving behind any damaged, small fruit that hasn’t achieved adequate colour. Otherwise, money is lost sorting out lower quality fruit before it’s diverted for processing, or customers are unhappy about the quality of fruit they receive. Elliot has no concerns about someone filling his shoes on the board of the co-op, and says he’s not going away, as a grower. But he advises growers this is a time to circle the wagons and turn the guns around, not point them at each other. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Film fest inspires debate
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
A powerful documentary rarely leaves one feeling unmotivated. The medium of film has an uncanny ability to not only make the viewer aware of an issue, but also
elicit change. With this in mind, the Fresh Outlook Foundation aimed to bring the community of Kelowna together last weekend, with the purpose of getting inspired. The third annual Reel Change SustainAbili-
ty Film Fest featured 12 films that all touched on different social issues. After every film, local experts led a discussion—or, in some cases, a debate—to help viewers wrap their minds around what they had just watched.
One documentary provoked an especially interesting post-film conversation. Narrated by Matt Damon, Inside Job exposes the story behind the global economic crisis of 2008. A product of Academy Award nominated film-
maker Charles Ferguson, the documentary interviews financial insiders, politicians and journalists in an attempt to shine light on the sordid underbelly of top financial institutions in the United States. Those who made their way to the Fipke Centre on

Saturday to sit through the film could often be heard snickering or gasping at seemingly shocking remarks by CEOs who, the film suggested, were still making millions of dollars while millions of people were losing their money, homes and jobs. Mike Gilmore, of BDO Dunwoody, and Susan Kasper, of Edward Jones, two of the panellists for the film, sat slightly quieter towards the front of the classroom. “Scary stuff,” said Kasper at the conclusion of the film. “It definitely gets you enraged.” Part of the film indicates that it is common practice for many Wall Street bankers to regularly take drugs and deal with prostitutes. Kasper saw this as an unfair generalization. “It was done, I think, very one-sidedly. I just think it’s ironic that Matt Damon works for an equally corrupt industry with prostitutes and drugs and he’s basically criticizing another,” he said. “My point is that (the movie) colours the whole industry with the same paint.” Gilmore also felt that the prostitution portion of the film was a “low blow.” “I think the message in the film was very well said. “They didn’t need to throw that in there— (the cause of the financial crisis) is aggravating enough.” Gilmore and Kasper agreed that, overall, the film told the actual story fairly accurately. The other panel member, Dr. Alan Illicic, works in the renewable energy industry. He said that he has done a fair amount of research on the financial industry. He thought that the drugs and prostitutes element was not only necessary, but a “key component” to the film. “The reason why the cocaine and prostitutes are so important is because when these banks fail and when their employees get called into testimony, the employers have blackmail against their employees and that’s critical to shut them up,” said Dr. Illicic. Dr. Illicic said that he felt that the movie missed an important aspect of the whole problem. “I found that there were some elements missing, specifically the fractural reserve banking system. This was completely omitted and I’m not sure why. These situations that arose are not symptoms of bad people, it is the very structure of our society See Film A15

NEWS â–ź POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION t
Placing a value on acquiring knowledge E
very so often reports come out about the state of post-secondary education fin Canada. Often these reports look at the system from a national perspective and evaluate how we fair on a global level. One recent report by the Canadian Council of Learning compared positive and not so positive developments. On the positive side Canada is a country that supports its colleges and universities compared to other first-world counrtries. From 1997 to 2005 public and private spending to support our posttsecondary institutions increased by 39 per cent. Today Canada places second among 30 western countries when it comes to dedicating a share of our GDP (gross domestic product) towards postsecondary education. Another bonus for tCanada is that our particifpation rates are high. This means that many young adults transition into post-secondary edu-
SCHOOL’S IN
Jane Muskens cation and actually graduate with some kind of credential whether it is a certificate, Red Seal certification, diploma or degree. This too has increased over the years with a participation rate of 25 per cent in 1990 to 37 per cent in 2009. In 2005, 58.1 per cent of young Canadian adults aged 20 to 24 had completed some college or university, or were still attending, ranking Canada as second for this age group who had completed a post-secondary credential and 10h for this group that were actively engaged in higher education. The third positive development was the quality of Canadian instructors and professors. In peer-review publi-
cations Canadian educators are regularly recognized internationally. What was interesting about this report was that internationally, our community colleges are considered to be a vital and responsive component of the Canadian post-secondary system. So what are the not so positive trends affecting post-secondary in Canada? The first is research and development. Although the Canadian government invests in university and most recently college research, it is the Canadian private sector that fails to provide further funding. In most western countries, funding for research and development from the private sector sits at about 64 per cent—in Canada the rate is roughly 48 per cent. In 2010, based on GDP, Canada spent 1.8 per cent on research and development where most other countries spent 2.3 per cent. The other issue is the development of male human capital.
To put it in a nutshell, more young men drop out of high school than females, leading to fewer post-secondary opportunities for this group. In 2008, 62 per cent of Canadian university graduates were women. At community colleges 59 per cent of the grads were female. If this trend continues, to what extent will the gender gap impact workers, families and society in general? How will this play out if more women than men opt out of employment to meet childcare obligations? What will happen if women struggle with the issues associated with being the major bread-winner? Other issues with the Canadian post-secondary system include immigrant skills not meeting labourmarket needs, no national post-secondary strategy, and no national system of quality assurance, where institutions have to meet some kind of national standard. For example, in Aus-
tralia, colleges and universities are required to complete major reviews every five years; the federal government has put in place system-wide goals and objectives, funding is aligned with national priorities, a national quality assurance agency exists and there is a federal ministry of education. In Canada, post-secondary education falls under the mandate of the provincial governments so each province decides how to run its colleges and universities. Although our system isn’t perfect, we are a country that values our colleges and universities and it is this value system that will allow us to improve what we have. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College.

Documentary shines light on Wall Street banking that leads to this issue,� said Dr. Illicic. “No money exists without debt attached to it.
“There’s simply not enough money to pay this interest. As a consequence, it is a structurally forced bankruptcy and foreclosure system. “It’s like a game of
musical chairs, only we’re dealing with people’s lives.� Many left the showing of Inside Job with varied opinions of what was done in the past and what
should be done in the future. But all were thinking about it, and that was probably exactly what the Fresh Outlook Foundation was hoping to achieve.

Heat primed for their CIS debut Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Alex Basso and her UBC Okanagan teammates are about to make history. On Friday night, the Heat women’s volleyball squad will own the distinction of being the first team ever to play a Canada West regular season match in Kelowna when they host the University of Winnipeg. “We’ve been talking about this move to the CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) for such a long time, it still feels a little surreal,” said Basso, who is entering her fourth season with the Heat. “It’s pretty exciting to know we’re finally going to play, and it’s pretty exciting to be making history. “It’s been a little nerve-wracking as well, but it’s time to show we belong,” she added. “We’re going to go out and have some fun.” The Heat women’s first ever CIS match will take to the floor at the UBCO gym at 6 p.m. Friday against the Wesmen, followed by the men’s game at 8 p.m. UBC Okanagan’s athletic department was granted membership into the Canada West University Athletics Association in May 2010. But in truth, all four teams—men’s and women’s volleyball, and

men’s and women’s basketball—have been preparing for their debuts in the CIS for the last several years. In their life prior to Canada West, the Heat women’s volleyball team won three consecutive BCCAA titles, as well as back-to-back national championships in 2009 and 2010. This fall, in their final tune-up for the big time, the Heat more than held their own against CIS competition in exhibition play, posting a 5-5 record; all five losses came against top 10 teams, while victories came over the 10th, 12th, 13th and 15th ranked teams in Canada. “Our team is feeling quite good about the way they matched up with those teams,” said Manuel, in his 11th season as Heat coach. “We’re fairly confident in the fact that we belong there.” Between off-season training, and a challenging preseason schedu-
rent than any young, talented team. We’ll have some great moments, and we’ll have some young moments. But I’m confident in saying we will be competitive, maybe the best first-year team to have joined the league. We’ll hit the ground running.” The Heat will be led into battle by the likes of power hitters Alex Basso, Jill Festival, and Myrte Schon, fourth-year middle Kaylan Goldsborough, and setter Chandler Proch, who replaces BCCAA MVP Caitlyn Nyhus. VANESSA HODAK/CONTRIBUTOR
FOUR-YEAR veteran Nate Speijer will lead the Heat
men’s volleyball squad into its CIS opener Friday night in Kelowna against the University of Winnipeg Wesmen. le, Manuel said the Heat program has left no stone unturned when it came to preparing for the step up to a new level of competition. And while no one is really talking championship in their inaugural season, Manuel expects his Heat to give their more
seasoned CIS opponents a run for their money on most nights. “Our team is about as good as can be expected, considering it’s a first-year team,” he said. “We really have a team full of CIS rookies, but plenty of players who can play at that level. We’re no diffe-
HEAT MEN
As one of B.C.’s most highly-touted players out of high school, Nate Speijer could have began his CIS career at any time over the last four years. Instead, the Penticton product chose to stay close to home and ply his trade with the UBC Okanagan Heat. Friday night at 8, Speijer’s patience and long-term preparation for
the big-time will finally be rewarded when the Heat battle the University of Winnipeg in Canada West action at the UBCO gym. “We’re all ecstatic about this,” said Speijer, a former BCCAA rookie of the year and MVP. “We’ve been waiting for his ever since we first knew there would be good possibility (the CIS) would happen. Now that it’s finally here, it’s almost a relief. At the same time, we know it’s going to be very intense, it’s going to be for real. We’re excited to get it going.” The Heat’s preamble for CIS competition included an intense exhibition schedule with 13 matches—12 against Canada West opponents—in a four-week span. “The purpose of all those matches was to hit the level of play we’re going to see, the grind of playing on back-to-back weekends against strong opponents,” said Heat coach Greg Poitras, whose team went 4-9. “We played five or six top 10 teams, won some, lost some, and were close in a lot of them. It was a great taste of the level of competition we’re going to face.” Speijer and fifth-year setter Preston Tucker will be looked to for leadership this season. Riley McFarland, who has CIS experience, is back after a year off and
will provide stabilty on the court. The team’s overall depth will be tested as the Heat will start the season without injured veteran Greg Niemantsverdriet. “We’re not a deep team, but we have a foundation of players who can play at this level,” said Poitras. “We’re going to have guys with a little less experience helping us fill the gaps, but that’s how they’ll gain experience and hopefully get better.” After the last several years as one of the powers of the collegiate volleyball, the Heat will now find out where they stack up against the best university teams in the country. Nate Speijer said his teammates are going into battle with their eyes wide open. “All the teams are much more perfectedj (than BCCAA), teams don’t have weaknesses at this level, and it’s more of a team game now where one superstar isn’t enough to get you by,” Speijer said. “There are subtle differences at this level between winning and losing, so that’s why we need to stick together and always be mentally focused. “We know we’re not going to roll teams like we sometimes did in the BCCAA,” Speijer. “We have to understand we pretty much have to play See Heat A17

Soon after, Benson crossed a ball from the right side onto Droguett’s foot who redirected the pass through the legs of St. Ann’s keeper for the insurance marker. The Knights then hung on for the final 20 minutes for the gold medal. “Overall it was a great couple of days,” said KCS coach MIke Hansum. “We achieved the Valley championships for the first time in school history, and continued to develop our team and character along the way.” The Knights survived a scare in the third third game against A.L.

On Saturday the Heat
made the road trip to Nanaimo to play an undefeated VIU team where Causier and his Heat team settled for a 1-1 draw. Sunday afternoon saw Causier visit his old team where he spent three years playing for the Blues, winning a national championship in 2008. With the Heat down 3-0 with only 35 minutes to play, Causier led UBC Okanagan back form that three-goal deficit with two quick goals on the stunned Blues. The Heat scored once more to finish with a 3-3 draw to qualify for the PacWest championships this weekend in Kelowna.

Going The Extra Mile this week...
A good Samaritan A few years back my neighbour did something wonderful for me, something I will never forget. I came home from Edmonton during the winter, and the drive back was extremely tiring for a man in his 80s. So you can imagine to return home to heavy snowfall that graced my sidewalk and driveway how discouraging that was. I parked the care in the driveway, removed our luggage from the vehicle and went to bed. I was so tired the next day, I put off getting up. But when I did arise, imagine my surprise mixed with appreciation as I looked out on the walkway and driveway to see the snow cleared. My curiosity led me to discover who the good Samaritan was so I could give him my thanks. I found out it was my neighbour Victor Pauls, who lives across the street from me. Certainly God must look kindly on such a man.

Fire up your imagination for three-hour short story contest It could be a word, a phrase, or even an object —but organizers know that’s all it will take for talented writers to emerge victorious at Okanagan College’s second annual three-hour short story competition. “What we’re looking for is a strong sense of imagination and creativity, and by giving students that one item to ponder at the beginning of the contest, we know that will spark something that will captivate the judges,” said Sean Johnston, one of the English department professors organizing the contest. The short story competition is open to students in Grade 11 and 12, and those attending Okanagan College. The contest takes place simultaneously from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 19, at the OC campuses in Kelowna, Salmon Arm, Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton. Writers will work on college computers, and will not be able to access any pre-written material or anything online. Four prizes of $250 tu-

ENTERTAINMENT Halloween’s not all ghosts and ghoulies Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Ghouls and goblins and—saints? If your idea of Halloween involves blood, gore and things that go bump in the night, Okanagan College professor Howard Hisdal has something to make you think. This Friday, he will give a lecture on the Canadian Halloween tradition and the true origins of everyone’s favourite gory holiday, along with vampire and werewolf literary expert Terry Scarborough. “Halloween in Christianity is the evening before All Hallows’ Eve or All Saints’ Days, a holy day where all the saints are commemorated in one day,” explained Hisdal. It also has overtones of the Celtic festival Samhian, pronounced Soen, marking the start of the dark part of the year, the dead part of the year, which remembers the dead. And, as anyone who has ever set foot outside their door on Halloween can attest, that Celtic influence is pretty prominent. Celtic tradition sees turnips carved into lanterns for the festival, rath-
er than pumpkins, and bones burned in a giant fire—the origins of the word “bonfire.” “I haven’t tried carving a turnip, but I have tried carving a pumpkin and carving pumpkins is hard enough,” Hisdal joked as he tried to convey the myriad of historical ripples that colour our Halloween celebrations. Oct. 31 also marks the day Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the Wittenberg Church door, he said. Among Luther’s chief points was a call for reformation on the practice of seeding one’s relatives through purgatory to heaven by paying the Catholic church. Luther felt the practice corrupt in every sense of the word, contending that only God could control a soul’s path and selected All Hallow’s Eve to let the world know how he felt as he knew there would be plenty of people roaming the streets paying tribute to the dead. As with every other Christian holiday, the eve of the holiday was traditionally also nearly as important. Dressed in a Christian alb, or priest’s robe, Hisdal says he will try to explain the connections and all while dressed in ghost-

While the occasion only pays tribute to saints, it is followed by All Souls’ Day, a day to celebrate the less than saintly souls who have passed on in a friendly approach to dealing with the
dead that also seems to have passed with time. In some countries, like Poland, where candles are placed on the graves in cemeteries, or Mexico, where the living share a meal with the dead at grave sites, these days are still routinely marked
whereas in Canada both fell out of fashion as saints were downgraded within the church. In our ever evolving culture, where one tradition ends, another begins, and the second half of the lecture should shed light on some of the ghost-
ly traditions cropping up around Kelowna. Terry Scarborough, based in the department of English, literary history and criticism, will examine Victorian ghost story traditions, werewolves and vampires. He also has a theory
on the latest wave of interest in zombies sweeping North American pop culture. With nearly as many zombies as political protesters taking over the downtown core the day the Wall Street backlash arrived on the Okanagan lakeshore, Scarborough says the two gatherings might be more connected than one thinks. “I started thinking about this when I saw the remake of The Dawn of the Dead,” said Scarborough. “There was this scene where the zombies are all trying to get into the mall and it looked to me like Boxing Day.” Scarborough figures zombies just might represent a mediation of consumer culture as audiences and zombie enthusiasts wake up to the reality of a world in which the vast majority of people wander through the world literally acting like zombies and consuming at every turn. To hear more theories and pontification and enjoy a little Halloween spirit, come to Okanagan College’s main lecture theatre Friday at noon. The lecture is free. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Visit Barcelona for the ham, though beaches not bad either
F
ollowing London, our culinary adventures continued after a short flight to glorious Barcelona! It was my first trip to Spain and this Mediterranean seaside city and I fell madly in love. What differentiated this European city from other favored destinations like Paris or Rome, was the surprising tropical white sand beach just a quick 15-minute jaunt from the old part of town. Like many of the great cities, Barcelona (BCN) offers art, fashion, culinary adventures and history—but a fabulous beach life too? Heaven. The architecture, of course, is very famous and a huge draw for visitors to BCN—the Gaudi creations will leave your mind reeling. The people are colourful, strong and gracious and the city has an ease to it that is very welcoming and quick to fall into pace with. I was shocked at how many do not speak English, so before you venture there I suggest learning a few phrases. And then there is the
FOOD & WINE TRAILS
Jennifer Schell food. As many experts from the foodie world will tell you, Spain has surpassed France as a culinary leader thanks to chefs like Ferran Adria of El Bulli. Considered by some as the best chef in the world, Adria introduced molecular gastronomy to the international food scene. Tapas, tapas, tapas. This well-known style of eating small plates heralds from Spanish roots. Although not a local Catalonian specialty, they are delicious and tapas bars are everywhere. After our first awkward visit to one of our neighbourhood tapas bars, we finally learned that customers are expected to help themselves and when it is time for the bill, they count the toothpicks on your plate. Rather dubious and strange for our customs—
Today’s Big Deal!
what if one pocketed some of the toothpicks? BCN residents are obviously very trusting or they have eyes at the back of their heads. Tapas offerings include small plates ranging from my favourites like cheese and ham croquettes (dangerously delish), chunks of amazing canned tuna with pimento, olives wrapped in anchovies (I never knew I loved anchovies) to small wedges of their traditional potato tortilla (like a layered potato pie), fried baby squid, cheese stuffed red peppers and our absolute favourite Peixets fregits (whole tiny deep fried whitebait fish) and, of course, Iberian ham. Iberian ham is a marvel and sadly a product that we cannot get here. Surpassing its cousin prosciutto by leaps and bounds in flavour, this delicacy is offered everywhere with prices ranging from affordable to astronomical depending on the piggy from whence it came. In Europe, the ham (jamón ibérico) price can range from $50 per

It is a type of cured ham and is at least 75 per cent black Iberian pig, also called pata negra (black hoof, or black paw). The hams are labeled according to the pigs’ diet, with an acorn diet being most desirable. Pairing well with the ham, Manchego cheese is a local favourite as well as olives (did you know that Spain is the biggest olive oil producer in the world?). Thankfully we
can get both of these delicious products here. Spain is also the third largest producer of wine in the world with over 400 varieties planted, though 80 per cent of the country’s wine production is from only 20 grape varieties including Tempranillo, Albariño, Garnacha. Although we enjoyed many different wines, as well as the exquisite sherry, our favourite was the Cava. The Spanish equivalent of Champagne, these luscious bub-
bles pair with everything any time of day. A perfect destination for all—from singletons to families, we loved Barcelona and cannot wait to go back. Where To Stay: We rented an amazing apartment right in the old El Born neighbourhood. Our apartment was Attic B—not sure how the other ones were but it was super quiet, comfortable and perfectly located. The company is www.insidebcn.com and they also provided an amazing concierge service. Where To Eat: Tapas! There are three great tapas bars that we hung out at within two blocks of our apartment. Sagardi, Taller Tapas and the local fave: Cal Pep where they also offer a tasting menu. Bestial Restaurant is right on the beach and is sexy fabulous. Must order the fried whitefish, a bottle of cava and melt away the afternoon while staring out under palm trees to the Mediterranean Sea— sigh. Boqueria Market is Barcelona’s most famous
market located on La Rambla (the hideously touristy crowded main drag). There is a seafood bar in there near the entrance and the fried baby squid are to die for. 7 Portes is a beautiful old restaurant near the beach. We peeked in but did not get there unfortunately. Too bad, as we were told later by a reliable source that they had great paella which, believe me, is very elusive. Other Tips: We lucked out and were there during their annual La Merce Festival—the biggest Catalan festival of the year. Human castle building, live music, a giant puppet parade and our favourite, the running of the devils—crazy people dressed as devils running through the streets with serious fire wands and crackers flaming. It was amazing and really unsafe. Next week I will talk about our next stop in San Sebastian. Adios for now. Jennifer Schell is editor of B.C.

‘Poetic, ruminative’ works of art H
alifax-based artist Steve Higgins has been interested in the built urban environment for several years. Although he began as a printmaker, Higgins has also been working in three dimensions for the last three decades and is especially focused on the area of intersection or nexus among sculpture, architecture and urban planning. His work is poetic and ruminative, not prescriptive. But nevertheless it provides Kelowna audiences food for thought, given the recent and ongoing debates about the most appropriate direction for the development of the downtown. Born in Spokane, Higgins came to live in Canada in 1974 from Detroit, Michigan. First he lived, worked and taught art in Winnipeg, then moved to Halifax in 2003, where he is an instructor at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. This exhibition was organized collaboratively by the Confederation Centre Art Gallery, in Charlottetown, PEI, the Dalhousie Art Gallery in Halifax, the McMaster Museum of Art at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and the Kelowna Art Gallery. It is accompanied by a catalogue with reproductions of both past pieces and the works in the show, and texts by Ihor Holubizky, myself, Peter Dyk-

Liz Wylie huis, Cliff Eyland and Jeanne Randolph. It is a remarkable hallmark of Higgins’ practice the way he combines his various areas of interest (read passion) and artmaking methods to such intriguing overall effect. We see his printmaking background still in evidence in the four large etchings in the exhibition, each one purporting to depict the footprint of a building or planned area. So we have School, Crematorium, Mobile Home Park, and Cemetery, all reading on the surface like straightforward building plans. But they are more like imaginary, almost tonguein-cheek, nods to the past. Things have started to get complicated. There are also large drawings in the show, huge circular masses of fragments of construction trusswork, with intriguing titles: Asylum Infidorum and Templum Fallaciae. Higgins translates these from the Latin as Sanctuary of the Disloyal and Temple of Deceit. The exhibition also has four vitrine-like structures built from medium-
density fibreboard, with cut-away viewing windows on top, through which the visitors may look down onto miniature cities, all built in wood and painted black. Each of these is called Urban, and is based on the artist’s musings about different cities he has visited, for example, Paris and New Jersey. The other big work in the show is the artist’s War and Peace: Rivers of White. This is a suite of ink-jet prints, and is not related to architecture, but has to do with typesetting and underwent a weird working process of flipping, conflating and building up that becomes nonsensical, yet has its own gravitas and visual fascination. Higgins is an artist who observes, thinks, reconsiders, builds up, excavates, makes a mark, then erases it, but leaving the smear. Trusswork and timbering, the temporary support of building projects, become what lingers in his art, rather than the end product to which they were in service. So much of contemporary architecture can

ancient power that can destroy the world. While no other characters from the Shrek movies appear in this film, his adventure is shared by Humpty Dumpty and a sly black cat named Kitty Softpaws. Antonio Banderas returns as the voice of Puss while Kitty and Humpty are voiced by Salma Hayek and Zach Galifianakis. Puss in Boots started development way back in 2004 after his first appearance in Shrek 2 but production was delayed after it was decided to make it into a theatrical release. Although not a box office hit, Andrew Niccol’s Gattaca has become not only a cult classic but also helped crystallize debate
over tampering with human genetics. Hopefully his latest, In Time, will be a greater hit as well as another great example of thought-provoking sci-fi. Starring Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Wilde and Cillian Murphy, it is set in a future when the aging gene has been switched off so that people do not age beyond 25. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the rich can live forever while the rest try to negotiate for immortality. A poor young man who lives “minute to minute” inherits a fortune in time from a dying man but is accused of murder and must go on the run from a corrupt society.
With the Occupy movement in the headlines, this kind of story seems, if you will excuse the pun, timely. If Johnny Depp did not get enough rum playing a Pirate in the Caribbean, The Rum Diary is a great follow-up. However, it is actually more of a follow-up to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, as it and The Rum Diary are both based upon novels by Hunter S. Thompson. Depp plays a journalist in the 1960s who tires of New York City and moves to the pristine island of Puerto Rico to write for a local newspaper. He adopts the rumsoaked life and becomes obsessed with the fiancée of an American entrepreneur who is determined to turn the island into a capitalist paradise. The journalist must decide whether to use his words to help the entrepreneur with the unsavoury scheme or bring him down. Tonight is the final movie in the West Kelowna Film Festival at the Capitol Theatre. Based upon a true story about the man who was hired to be Saddam Hussein’s son’s double, Devil’s Double shows at 7 p.m. Next Wednesday at 7 p.m. is the Kelowna Film Society’s presentation of the South African drama Life Above All showing at the Orchard Plaza Five cinemas.

▼ MOVIE REVIEW
Another character from Atkinson JOHNNY ENGLISH REBORN
Rowan Atkinson has done much in his long career. The Blackadder series of the 1980s (my personal favourite), Mr. Bean of the 1990s, but I think Johnny English is his best character to date. Johnny English is a spoof on the plethora of James Bond movies, but any comparison stops there. English must capture international killers who are out to get the Chinese Premier. Following a hiatus from the spy world after he embarrassed the Brits on his last mission, now he’s trying to redeem himself. More subtle than the Pink Panther, English is, yes, inept but more sophisticated. ‘Skip the surly bonds’ of your workday and see this one. Sure this type of spoof and slapstick isn’t
BEHIND THE SCREEN
Susan Steen for everyone, but if it’s your genre, then you’ll laugh ’til you cry. The cast includes Gillian Anderson, who plays Pegasus, the head of the British Intelligence, M17. Born in Chicago, Anderson, was in The Last Kind of Scotland, but she is perhaps best known for the X-Files. Playing Quartermain—the role of Q from the Bond series—is Tim McInnerny. He was Percy in the Blackadder series, and in this show, he has obviously tested the spy
toys way too many times, mostly on himself. A cameo by Lily Atkinson, Rowan’s daughter may indicate that the next generation is following their famous father’s footsteps. I think what truly makes Johnny English Reborn fun to watch is the fact that he is effortless in his manner. While those around him are trying hard to maintain decorum, English just goes about his business of nonsensicality and ludicrousness. OK, forget the big words—he’s a bumbling fool, but a loveable one. Another interesting cast member was Rosamund Pike, who plays English’s love interest. She plays an M17 psychologist. Pike herself is a former Bond girl in Die Another Day.

Your family can create Christmas memories
N
othing says Christmas like turkey dinner with mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce. Pumpkin pie, mincemeat tarts and fruit cake satisfy your sweet tooth.

These families are fed, yes, but they also enjoy gathering with others to soak up the festivities on what otherwise might be a sad day. Help with the celebrations by signing up to volunteer. Imagine your children setting tables, hanging garlands and serving food. Hear the laughter and see the smiles on faces around the room. If you volunteer for set-up on Dec. 24, between 1 and 4 p.m., your tasks could include arranging tables, decorating, gift wrapping, stuffing gift bags and preparing food. This makes for a smooth running event the next day. Volunteering Christmas Day gives you choices like cooking, welcoming families, serving guests, assisting with draws for prizes and then cleaning up afterwards.

Cuddy’s fresh sound on Skyscraper Soul a delightful surprise JIM CUDDY: SKYSCRAPER SOUL [WARNER]
This is the third solo album from Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy. I have somewhat enjoyed his previous albums but I must admit I found them just a tad too predictable and sameysounding with their folk country leanings that were too even tempered. They are both now in my sister’s CD collection. So nothing prepared me for this superb new outing where Cuddy
SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell equals any and all of his finest albums with Blue Rodeo and I would have to say that Skyscraper Soul is one of the best albums I have heard this
year. I am willing to bet it shows up on many critic’s “Best” albums lists at year end. The song craft is amazingly high over the entire 14 tracks and Cuddy sports a superb band that includes only one Blue Rodeo member in Basil Donovan who plays bass as usual. This disc is produced by Colin Cripps along with Cuddy and it is a match made in heaven with many surprising
sounds. There are too many highlights but I particularly loved the Hugh Masakela horn meets The Mersey beat Zombies B3 and keyboards of Watch Yourself Go Down. Meanwhile, Cuddy experiments with some bluesy funk and jazz on the magnificent Water’s Running High while he offers up plenty of rootsy No Depression alt-country as we have come to expect.
But the quality of the songs is uniformly excellent with the pop groove of Regular Days and the U2/Wilco/REM flavours of the winning lead off title track. Cuddy has been getting lots of airplay on country radio for his enthralling narrative Everyone Watched The Wedding while Cuddy proves to be a hopeless romantic on solid songs such as the Bob Dylan-styled With You and the string-
A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE KNOWS YOUR NAME While channel surfing one night, a familiar tune caught my ear: the opening themesong from the sit-com, ‘Cheers’. I had been a fan during its heyday. I’m sure I have watched the show a hundred times or more over the years. For some reason, the distinctive lyrics of its theme song really spoke to me in a profound way that night: “Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got. Taking a break from all your worries; sure would help a lot. Wouldn’t you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go - where everybody knows your name, and they’re always glad you came. You wanna be where you can see, our troubles are all the same You wanna be where everybody knows your name. You wanna go where people know, people are all the same, You wanna go where everybody knows your name. Written by: Gary Portnoy & Judy Hart Angelo. ‘Cheers’ ran for eleven (11) seasons, from 1982 to 1993. It still runs in syndication, mostly late at night. The show was set in the Cheers bar (named for the traditional toast, ‘Cheers’) in Boston, Massachusetts. The song is right about daily life. It does take all of our emotional and physical energy to make it through each day. Life is full of worries. We all have the same questions and worries: “Will I keep my job, my spouse, my family, my house, my nest egg, my sanity and even my life?” We all, like the song says, need a break from our worries, a place to escape to. Cheers provided such a place. The staff at Cheers doled out food and beverages to their customers every day, but it doled out even more. The staff and regular patrons formed true and genuine friendships. As these friendships matured and became more intimate, characters revealed their questions, cares and burdens to one another. They shared these questions, cares and burdens and, in 22 minutes, solved many personal crises. The writers, actors and producers obviously got it right. They touched a whole generation of Americans and Canadians. Each time the show aired, the audience was invited to delve deeper into the life of one or more of the regulars on the show. It invited the audience to see that we really are all the same. We all have the same problems and challenges. The show revealed that we all want real friends, who really care about us, who really want to
hear what’s on our minds and who won’t reject us when we reveal ourselves to them. Each script and its plot line touched the audience deeply. Each week millions of viewers tuned in and became a part of the gang at Cheers. The show was wildly popular. The scripts touched on questions that touched the lives of each member of the audience. The scripts invited the audience to identify with each of the characters. We learned to love some of them and despise others. We laughed with them, cried with them and even grew with them. The cast and crew of Cheers and the sponsors were glad we came; that is, tuned in each week, and watched the show. They earned a living and became famous as a result. The companies that sponsored Cheers were equally glad that you tuned in and watched the commercials which advertised their products. They were glad we bought the products. We too made them rich and famous. However, as wonderful as the Cheers experience was for millions of people, all know that it was all imaginary. ‘Cheers’ was a show, a situation comedy. The actors were using a script. We know that neither the characters nor the situations they were involved in were real. The audience was and still is anonymous. The cast of characters of Cheers did not know the names of the millions of fans who tuned religiously week after week to watch the series (in syndication you can watch 5 days a week). However, we can’t ignore the show’s theme song. Each one of us knows how much energy we have to expend to live each day and we each have worries we want a break from. We do want a place that we can get away from our worries and a place where people know our name and are glad when we come. There is a place very near you, where you can find rest from your worries, where people will know your name and will be glad you came. There is such a place. It is not imaginary. It is God’s church. The church is a community of people who gather in a building. We gather around God. We believe that God is our creator. He made us and knows each of our names. God is our Redeemer and Savior. God reached out and touched humanity and took our worries and burdens in the most intimate way in His one and only Son Jesus. He shared every aspect of our humanity from His miraculous conception, His birth, His life, His suffering, and His death on the cross. He was tempted by every sin and worry that we can possibly think of and He did not fall prey to those temptations. He revealed His divinity through miracles which demonstrated
His power over disease, demon possession, evil, the Devil, and nature. He paid for our sins, burdens and worries by His innocent suffering and death. He was raised from the dead so that we could have eternal life with Him. Jesus understands that it takes every ounce of your energy to make it through each day. He understands that daily life takes so much of our energy precisely because we are burdened with cares and worries. They make each step we take on the road of life that much more burdensome. He knows that we need a break from these cares and worries. Church is a place where we not only can get rest from our worries but get rid of them. Jesus invites us to “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” [Matthew 11:28] When we gather for worship in Church, we believe that Jesus and His Father are present to us through the Holy Spirit. When we hear Jesus’ story in the words of the Gospel, the Holy Spirit comes to us and speaks to us. For this very reason, as we hear the accounts of Jesus interacting with His disciples and those who came to Him for healing, the story literally comes alive to us. We become a part of the story; we discover that, like the people in the Gospel accounts, we are spiritually blind, deaf, mute, lame, and paralyzed. We very often are tossed about in the storms of life and desperately want calm. We find that we are possessed by demons from our past, present and future. We also find that Jesus can give us sight, voice, hearing and freedom to move and get on with life. He can calm our storms and get demons off our back. We will come to find that He knows our name and is glad that we came. In Church, you can find we’re all the same, we can all learn one another’s name, and when we meet around God’s word, we will all be glad we came! Come join us at Grace Lutheran. On Sundays we gather around God at 10:30AM (traditional) and at noon (contemporary). In Christ, Pastor Ed Skutshek

accented What Is Wrong that brought old Brinsley Schwarz pub rock music to mind. Again, Skyscraper Soul is easily one of the best albums of this year and I wonder if I can scoop my sister’s two previous solo releases because they probably need a whole re-evaluation. Note that Cuddy and crew are playing here, at the Kelowna Community Theatre, on Jan. 10. A-
EVANESCENCE: [WIND-UP/ EMI]
Evanescence have released only their fourth album in nine years but moreover, this self-titled disc is only Amy Lee and the band’s second studio album in five years. To say the anticipation was pent up would be an understatement but Evanescence have fallen to the same prey as recent albums by Tony Bennett, Fiest, Lady GaGa and Blink 182 in that they can’t push Adele out of the top spot—now at 34 weeks and running. Anyway, I don’t expect this new eponymous CD from Evanescence to stick in the top 10 for very long. Although they have been missed, the music on this new album is too broad a pig wallow in far too familiar styled gothrock songs. Just about every tune starts with an ethereal, otherworldly drone before the quasi-metal buzzed guitars kick in and Amy Lee always takes a folky break midway in almost every tune—think Sandy Denny from Led Zep VI. The word pain is in nearly every song where the possibility of ever finding true love is nil in the goth realm even if Lee’s mascara never runs because of her crocodile tears. The overly compressed sound makes most of these songs too loud at any volume while there is a lack of variety in these crawling, plodding tunes. But after 11 laborious tracks of pure emotional misery, guess what happens on the final tune. Yes, Lee finds love with an acoustic ballad making you wonder what all
the fuss was about in the first place. Trust me, here today and gone tomorrow. C-
THE B-52S: LIVE IN ATHENS GEORGIA [EAGLE]
The B52’s, the little college band out of Athens Georgia went from frat parties to one of the biggest party concert acts of the last generation with indelible hits like Love Shack, Roam, Rock Lobster and Planet Claire. But I was surprised to discover that this new disc, subtitled Party With The Wild Crowd!, is their first concert recording given that they are such a great live band. There are 18 classics on this solid gig set that features the superb bass groove of newcomer Tracy Wormworth (evidently, her real name). But the real kick here for this campy kitsch band is the sheer energy they put into the performances recorded in front of a hometown crowd who were really caught up in the moment. B
HANK CRAWFORD: DON’T YOU WORRY ‘BOUT A THING [SONY]
CTI Records is celebrating 40 years in the business with some ultra cool re-releases such as this absolute gem from jazz sax man Hank Crawford. This is the first time that Don’t You Worry ‘Bout A Thing has been released on CD and it is a delight from beginning to end even if the label might have dug up some unreleased material to go along with this original five-song album. Crawford is as much an old school R&B, soul man as he is a jazz master and his ample skills are wholly evident on this fine re-issue, as is the importance of the influence of Stevie Wonder on music of the ’70s as can be heard on the two covers with the title track and All In Love Is Fair. A delightful little bonbon that features greats such as Bob James, Ron Carter, Hugh McCracken, Randy Brecker, etc. B mooseman19@telus.net

Trepanier Creek banks stabilized by volunteers Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS
HARD WORKING volunteers from the Peachland Sportsman’s Association and the Westbank Walmart store planted dozens of native shrubs along the banks of Trepanier Creek on the weekend. Shown here are Walmart employees Jutta Harapnuk and Glenn Schwemler and PSA member Madelene Hanna, all residents of West Kelowna.
Despite a steady drizzle of rain, volunteers from the Peachland Sportsman’s Association and the Westbank Walmart store planted about 80 native shrubs along the south side of Trepanier Creek in Peachland on the weekend. The shrubs and about 10 large trees were purchased with the help of a $5,000 grant from the Walmart Evergreen Green Grants program, and tree planting was done by staff from the Municipality of Peachland. Technical consultant Lorne Davies said the project will have a number of benefits, from conserving water, since all are drought-tolerant native plants, to protecting fish habitat by shading the water and stabilizing the bank of the creek, where kokanee spawn each fall. The project fits in with the Okanagan Sustainable Water Strategy, prepared by the Okanagan Water Stewardship Council and released in 2008. The riparian renaturalization project is the fifth the PSA has been involved in on Trepanier Creek in the last decade or so, noted Martha Jenkins, Peachland’s Citizen of the Year. The work was done last Saturday in Trepanier Creek Linear Park, where a meandering pathway is popular with dog-walkers and strollers. Volunteers dug holes, fertilized, watered, planted and tamped down the earth around the dozens of plants. Maintenance of the newly-planted area will be conducted by the municipality. It’s the second year in a row that a replanting project like this has been conducted along the banks of Trepanier Creek by the PSA, Walmart, Evergreen and the Municipality of Peachland.

Three candidates vie for Westside director seat Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Incumbent Jim Edgson, Aaron Dinwoodie and Dave Robertson are hoping to earn votes in their pursuit for the title of regional director of the Central Okanagan west electoral area. Edgson, who is wrapping up his second term as regional director, said that he has enjoyed his time serving the public thus far and hopes to continue to do so. “I made up my mind
four years ago, when I first ran, that I wanted to serve people. I’m not a politician, I’m a servant,” said Edgson. Saying that he “loves the job,” Edgson was quick to mention that there is no shortage of dedication required to fulfill the role. “I’m literally on call all the time. I have approximately 120 kilometres from the north end to the south end to travel in my electoral area. “I’m also proud to say that I wear out batteries

Civic election battle for Westside CORD director’s seat Three from B7 get to. “I don’t care if it rains or shines, you’re going to see me knocking on doors.” Those interested can find more information about Jim Edgson at www.edgson.ca. *** Aaron Dinwoodie, a former Westside regional director and former president of the B.C. Municipal Association, announced his candidacy for regional director on Friday, Oct. 14. Dinwoodie said his motivation for running comes from his will to serve residents in the area. “It’s all about people. You have to love people in the political game. If
you don’t love people, you shouldn’t be in it,” said Dinwoodie. “I’ve always loved the Westside. That’s why I’m running.” Dinwoodie said that he plans to hold the federal government’s feet to the fire with respect to equitable funding for RCMP policing services and community policing programs. Dinwoodie said that he wants safety improvements to continue on Westside Road and that he is focused on protecting watershed resources and the natural environment. Another area of concern for Dinwoodie is that the area gets funding for rural roads and interface
fire protection. During his first stint as a Westside regional director, Dinwoodie walked the entire electoral area to familiarize himself with what he would be representing. He feels that past experience makes him the best candidate. “I think what I bring to the table is a lot of experience with respect to working with senior government,” said Dinwoodie. “I’ve got lots of energy, lots of drive. I’ve always been a very motivated person and very determined to work hard for people.” For more information about Aaron Dinwoodie’s platform, email dinwoodieaaron@yahoo.com.

sprung on us. The directors and politicians should be open. That’s why I’m running, because they’re not open.” Robertson said that a lot of his experience has been gained through attending regional district meetings and “working extensively” with the CORD staff. He is promising that he will hold town hall meetings throughout the district as a proactive approach to discuss controversial issues. “It’s vitally important because a lot of us don’t know what’s going on in the regional district. You have to have open public meetings to discuss issues, long before they happen.” According to Robertson, his teamwork mentality makes him the best candidate for the position.
“I can work constructively with people. I’ve got a talent for getting the best ideas out of people and reaching a consensus and helping make the whole thing work rather than being a control freak and trying to run everything my own way.” Robertson ran against Edgson in 2007 and 2008, and came up short on both occasions. Similar to those campaigns, his strategy is still focused around meeting residents in person. “I think the best way is to go door to door and talk to people so they can see you and see your body language and see how you’re talking. People are a lot cleverer than politicians give them credit for. They can see through you right away if you give them a lie and treat them
like mushrooms.” Through his campaign he has noticed that many people are complaining about the same issues that had them concerned back in 2008. “I’m traveling through the district now, getting an idea of all their issues, which are basically the same as they were three years ago. They don’t seem to have been resolved at all.” Robertson said in order for change to occur, more voters will have to get out and let their opinion count. “The issues are very important this year and I (hope) we’ll have a better turnout. If people want to have a voice they have to get off their butts and go vote on a cold November night.” For more information about Dave Robertson, visit www.rocdoc.ca.

ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott that risk. Our children’s own awareness of risks is also important, though they are less able to appreciate how serious consequences can be. We must drill into their heads that they must look both ways before crossing the street, for example, because they simply do not appreciate how dangerous it is to dart out without checking for traffic. We see all sorts of public awareness campaigns aimed at raising awareness for this or that risk: because increased awareness leads to increased precautions and, in the case of safety risks, fewer injuries. Some risks can be eliminated. Your child will never get hurt on a trampoline if you ensure your child is never allowed to play on one, for example. Of course, there was a time when the risk of backyard trampolines was unknown to parents. It was not until news broke of children suffering injuries on trampolines that there was an awareness of that risk. Other risks cannot be eliminated. The best we can do for those risks is to minimize them.
One risk that we wish like heck we could eliminate for our children is the risk of sexual abuse. It’s up to us as parents to minimize this risk by keeping our children away from potential offenders. To a large extent, we rely on others to ensure our children do not become sexual prey. For example, we rely on the school system to ensure teachers are carefully screened and to ensure that policies and procedures are in place to eliminate the possibility that our children could fall prey to a sexually deviant teacher who has slipped through the screening process. Our level of reliance on the school system is built on a trust that the screenings, policies and procedures are effective at protecting our children. If we had a clue that the system was failing to protect our children, we would take immediate action to either fix the broken system or remove our children altogether from that system by, perhaps, home schooling them. Keep us in the dark and we are powerless to protect our children. In my opinion, children’s safety is important enough that our laws should promote full disclosure of risks of harm so that we are best equipped as parents, and as a society, to take steps to eliminate or keep those risks to a minimum.
The key mechanism for identifying and addressing harms to children in our society is by way of a lawsuit. If there is a lawsuit brought to recover compensation for harms and losses to children, the law should prohibit the alleged wrong doer from doing just the opposite of full disclosure and imposing confidentiality terms on settlements. In my view, the laws should apply not only to child sexual abuse risks, but also to any other risk to children’s safety. If a child suffers harms and losses, whether through sexual predation, a dangerous toy, medical malpractice or any other cause, and a lawsuit is brought to recover compensation for those harms and losses, imposed confidentiality over the settled results of the lawsuit should not be permitted. As a parent, I want to know as much as possible about the risks of harm to my children so that I have the best chance to protect them. As a member of society, I want there to be general awareness about those risks so that we can take collective steps to protect the most vulnerable among us.

Halloween arrived early at the Johnson-Bentley Memorial Aquatic Centre. Last Friday, families took part in the Haunted Halloween Swim. The event featured candy and costumes in anticipation of the spookiest day of the year. Staff of the aquatic centre dressed up to set the mood. One witch, who lingered in a haunted room, gave out toys and candy for those brave enough to greet her. There were also games and contests for swimmers who attended the afternoon event. CLOCKWISE from top left: Sarah Jane McRae does her best impression of a Halloween witch; Debbie Wiseman-Wright hands out treats to Gabrielle Wright and Gracie Bovill; pirate lifeguard Laura Rhode helps Paris put on her lifejacket; Jack Gillmore executes a perfect cannon ball into the pool as his brother Clayton looks on; Johnson-Bentley staffer Jane Diachuk greets her swimmers as they arrive for the aquatic centre’s well-attended Halloween party swim.

Mt. Boucherie Secondary School Community Connection October 2011
Sharing the gift of song BY SIMON BUCK While the other students from Mt. Boucherie Secondary School sat in Math class, the school’s choir drove down to Peachland and sang. On Wednesday, Oct. 5th, 22 choir students made their way over to Peachland Elementary School and worked with some of the school’s choir students, missing their school day in the process. Inside of the school’s gymnasium were about 80 elementary school students and the Mount Boucherie choir students, plus the teachers and supervisors, making it a full house that day. Among other things, the group worked with the children by demonstrating vocal
techniques and teaching them a simple song; “Wade in the Water,” an old AfricanAmerican spiritual which Mt. Boucherie choir teacher
Kim Kleineberg has written Christmas lyrics to. “I started this choir five years ago when my oldest boy was also in elementary
MT. BOUCHERIE’S CHOIR recently shared their knowledge and love of singing with Peachland Elementary school’s choir.
school,” she explains, “I did it to give my children an opportunity to sing in a choir and of course other kids who wanted to sing. I realized that this would eventually promote my own choral program at Boucherie and it has.” The visit really has made this elementary school choir become better singers and performers; “the kids have loved the experience and have learned a lot about singing. I really try to do a variety of music to broaden their experience,” added the teacher. The choir will definitely do two concerts in the middle of December as part of the school’s annual show.
We Day: inspires and celebrates youth BY RACHAEL LESOSKY If one were to walk into Rogers Arena on Oct. 13, they would have seen a roaring crowd of 18,000 youth and educators, all with a passion for global change. We Day, an initiative of Free the Children, is a day to inspire and celebrate the youth in our day who want to make a difference. Some of the greatest social issues of today are brought into focus and the event teaches students that they do not stand alone in their drive to make a difference. Students from elementary, middle and high schools in the Okanagan, including Mount Boucherie, attended, as well children from all over
BC. Various speakers were present to inspire and enlighten the passionate individuals,
such as Mikhail Gorbachev, actress Mia Farrow, and Spencer West, who spoke of
overcoming his struggles after losing his legs at the age of five. Michel Chikwanine also presented, giving heartwrenching insight into his past as a child soldier. Other highlights featured performances from singer Shawn Desman, basketball athlete Shaquille O’Neal, and Hedley, a band whose members have participated in Free the Children volunteer trips to Kenya. Students that took part in the event were encouraged to donate their used batteries, from which zinc, an essential micronutrient in child development, can be extracted and used to treat and help malnourished children. Money was also collected to aid
drought relief in East Africa, with only $10 being able to feed a child for a month. The day was a great success and the students left with a new passion and eagerness for global change. Some upcoming events for making a difference include Halloween for Hunger, where students collect canned goods Halloween night for the local food bank instead of candy, and the Vow of Silence on Nov. 30, a day where people remain silent to give a voice to the children of the world that are silenced by poverty, disease, and exploitation. Also, check out and like the We Day page on Facebook, where one like equals one dollar towards the cause.
mbss student opinion...
Social Media’s influence on students By JAMIE NEARING During my high school years, I have noticed a common trend among teens that tends to steer us towards the use of social media. It seems as though we, above all else, have placed Facebook, Twitter and Myspace on a hugely popular platform. It would only take one stroll down the hallway of Mount Boucherie to understand this; countless students are tweeting, updating their status, downloading movies and texting their friends. It’s something I have found myself surrounded by on a day-to-day basis. Being guilty of using social networking sites myself, I can tell you that they can be positive and efficient in a student’s life. Social networking provides a fast and easy way to develop emotional bonds, create your own identity and communicate effectively with others. When time is an issue, it is easy for students to take advantage of the technology available to them. Despite this, there is no doubt that networking and online communication also has its fair share of disadvantages. While being able to connect with friends and the latest news is exciting, it seems as though students make it top
priority. Quite often I find students tweeting about their blissful lives, rather than telling their peers in person. Not only can this become an addiction, but it can also negatively affect those around you. Constant networking only causes a natural competition between teens – everyone desires to have the best Tweet, the most exciting status or the nicest pictures to complement our lives. However, we forget this can often lead to the destruction of others and cyber bullying; two things that have had a major influx within the past few years. Understandably, it is fair to say we have all been involved in social media at one time or another. The appendix of this engagement has undoubtedly created a generation gap that is nearly impossible to escape. The real question we should ask ourselves is where do we place the media in our lives and why. So the next time you go to post a status or Tweet your friends, take a moment to think about your priorities, and the affect it may have on others. With the substantial influence it has on your life and the lives of others, you never really know the outcome it will bring.
MBSS athletics Football Standing under the Friday night lights is not only a test of true skill, but also true test of character. For the past nine years, the football program at MBSS has strived to build both of these traits in the upcoming generations of players. With 67 students enrolled, its numbers are more than ever, and improvement is constant on both individual players’ levels and as a team. Making the Provincials on both the Junior and Senior Varsity levels has been a highlight over the past couple years of the program for both students and coaches. Yearly and over the season, seeing the vast improvements from the beginning junior players to the graduating seniors is a definite highlight as a coach, says Alistair Bone, one of the Teacher coaches at MBSS. Mike Godwin is also a coach in the program, as well as 10 other community coaches. Another highlight of coaching that is shared among them is returning players and former students coming back to coach. As students from Glenrosa middle and Constable Neil Bruce also come up to play, seeing students from previous years return shows a change of generation that is a first for the program of nine years. Winston Wong and Colin Krueger are two of the players who went through the MBSS football program, and are now returning to assistant coach as another generation of players move up. Apart from the program growing as a whole, the players and teams of the past few years have also grown. This summer the junior and senior teams attended a football camp in Oregon. Though springtime camps and fundraisers are held during the season, this experience was of huge value to the teams and players of all ages. “They beat teams and were beat by teams, but at the end of the day, they were all the same, 17 year old boys.” Says Coach Bone. Having a first-hand experience in a high school football- driven country was a “huge confidence builder for the teams.” “At the end of the day, it’s not just about a game. It’s about building better people” And through teaching hard work, persistence and a strong character, the MBSS football program has done just that.
Volleyball BY JEREMY FLETT Volleyball is a sport that demands perfection and repetition, and a group of young men from Mount Boucherie are showing their competitors that they have taken hold of these skills in little time. The team, consisting mainly of newcomers to the sport, and basketball players, has taken the province by storm, with the most recent example being their 2nd place finish in the renowned Best of the West Tournament, co-hosted by UBCO and KSS. Led by their right-side hitter, Scott Plocktis, the Bears defeated KSS in the semi-finals, and stayed close in the final match against College Heights. The play of Plocktis, along with the power hitting of Connor Oughtred, has led the Bears to a fifth place ranking in the province. Along with the consistent play of middles, Derek Zwaagstra and Jeremy Flett, the team receives a big boost from their setter, Tomas Lammers. Without the reliable passing from libero, Cole Mullen, the hitting core of Oughtred, Plocktis, and Jon McNulty would not be able to frighten the opposing teams with their powerful spikes. The team is held together by key reserves, Peter Briker Jr. and Dwayne Wannop. This squad is mostly composed of seniors, looking for their one last chance at the provincial level. Seasoned coach, John “McP” McParland, keeps the team’s play at a high intensity, while keeping practices fun, and encouraging team bonding. Look for this group to compete at a high level for the remainder of the season, and hopefully make noise at provincials, come December.

Bortolotto
Passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm at her loving home on Tuesday, October 18, 2011 at the age of 45, with her husband, friend and neighbour by her side. Dawn was born in Kelowna, BC, raised in Richmond, BC and moved back to Kelowna in the early 1990s. Dawn was the middle child of Tom and Evelyn McManus, the beloved wife of Lorenzo, and mother to their precious daughters Selina, nine years old, and Maria, seven years old. Dawn will forever be remembered by her devoted sister Lynn, loving brother Tom, caring in-laws Cathy and Fabio, Ugo and Luisa, nieces and nephews; Trent, Talor, Georgia, Jake, Isabella, Matteo, Cristina along with countless other friends and family who were blessed to know her.

Dawn was an avid and enthusiastic equestrian immensely loved and respected in the horse community. She was excited to be a volunteer committee member for the BC Horse Council. She worked passionately on a brochure that aimed to merge drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and horseback riders to safely share our BC roads.

DICKSON, SUSAN LYNN
August 4, 1962 - October 21, 2011
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving mother and best friend, Susan Lynn Dickson, at the age of 49. She was a fighter and fought a long, courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Susan was the most loving, caring mother and friend that anyone could wish for. With her big heart, loving and carefree personality she touched many people in a huge way. Her artistic talents, kind and caring words will always be remembered by those who were lucky enough to have passed by her in her lifetime and will always be missed. Susan is survived by her three loving sons, Darrell, Robert and Travis Dickson, and the father of her three boys, Russell Dickson. Also survived by her parents Steve and Rose Bugera, and siblings Gail(Graham), Les(Cathy), Tim, Allan(Cindy), Gerry(Sandy). She is predeceased by her brother Lawrence Bugera, her grandparents Harry and Fewronia Bugera and Phillip and Marie Skitcko. Three great friends, Joanna, Rita, and Merle, were with and cared for Susan until the end. There will be a Celebration of Life for Susie QQQ at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Kelowna S.P.C.A. A very special thank you to all her doctors, the Hospice and the Palliative Care Unit and a special thank you to Cindy at the Paragon Pharmacy for all your kind and caring words of comfort.
