Ice finally meets metal at Stuart Park rink Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
A spot for a little winter romance and frivolity was unveiled in downtown Kelowna Tuesday morning, much to the pleasure of most everyone who got a chance to experience the city’s newest addition. Stuart Park ice rink was ready for business at long last—after weeks of trouble shooting a glitch that waylaid its original start date—and within hours of opening the skating surface was bustling with activity. “I think it’s fabulous. It’s a great family facility,” said Dave Fahlgren, a Kelowna resident who was at the rink with his family. “It’s very worth the taxpayer money. There should be more things like this.” It’s not often that Kelowna residents laud city spending, but numerous people agreed that the facility was a welcomed addition to the $4.4-million park. “Kelowna needed something like this,” said Jill Tulloch, who was home for the holidays from Calgary. “Every time I come here I think it’s so beautiful, and there’s so much untapped potential.” In general, said a number of those in attendance, the waterfront park and all its amenities mark a maturing on the city’s part.

TAKING A break at the new Stuart Park outdoor ice rink in downtown Kelowna,
Corina Vasile, 4, Luca Vasile, 8, and Patrick Farcau, 4, check their skates. The new ice rink had its official opening on Tuesday. she started in Edmonton, said she’s pleased to see the new addition. “There aren’t a lot of free things for a family to do,” she said. “And, having a young family, things like this are great.” Farquahar continued to say that while the daytime skating is a win-win situation for the family set, the fact the rink will be open until 10 p.m. is bound to add a romantic touch to the area. Having lived in Edmonton where an outdoor rink is well established,
she’s had a chance to see first-hand how idyllic outdoor skating can be in the wee hours of the evening, she said, recalling one of her early dates with her now-husband. While most were pleased with the rink, some noted they would like to see some food or drink stands, and a skate rental shop. There are no rentals on site, but Sports Rent Kelowna has loaded up on skates in expectation of the rink’s arrival. Joanne Jacobsen, own-
er of the shop that’s been in the city for 23 years, said she spent a good portion of Tuesday fielding inquiries from Kelowna residents who wanted to hit the ice this week. “We stocked a lot of skates, so we’re quite happy they’re open now,” she said, adding adults pay $8 and children $5 for a day’s rental. The park was installed last winter and was supposed to open Dec. 10 of this year. When city staff went to kick the system into gear, they found
the pipes used to cool the ice slab had leaked out the ethylene glycol with which they were filled. The source of the leak remained a question that dogged its builders for a couple of weeks until it
was found and fixed. The rink is open most days from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. A more detailed schedule can be found by calling the public skating hotline, 250-469-8800, ext 4.
This province’s most passionate anti-gun control lobbyist died suddenly at his West Kelowna home Christmas Day at the age of 74. John Holdstock led the charge on behalf of members of the B.C. Wildlife Federation to oppose federal firearms legislation that involved registering hunting rifles as well as handguns. Despite strong opposition, Bill C-68 was passed in 1995, and remains in place, even though the federal Conservative government has repeatedly promised to end gun registration.

JANUARY
• Joel Reimer, a 30year-old from Lake Country, was found dead under a mini-van at the intersection of Park Avenue and Pandosy Street. • The Major Crimes Unit found evidence that suggested the collision was intentional. • An out-of-court settlement was reached in a civil suit filed by Shannon Murrin against a former RCMP officer and three men who beat him severely. Murrin’s beating made headlines in February of 1995. Police at the time said he was taken by three men to Mission Creek and assaulted where Mindy Tran’s body was found. • It became mandatory that drivers across B.C. stop using their mobile phones while driving, unless they were equipped with a hands-free device. • The federal government implemented eight of the controversial 3D body scanners at airports across Canada, leaving Kelowna out of the loop. This city had been the test site for the equipment the year earlier. • Joe Rich/Ellison director Kelly Hayes became the focus of constituent frustration, as a half dozen community members came forward to allege their lone local government representa-
tive was difficult to communicate with. • Home assessments across the Central Okanagan decreased on average for the first time in more than two decades. • About 30 residents attended a ministry of forests meeting to express opposition to a proposed woodlot near Philpot and Cardinal Creek Roads in Joe Rich. The ministry held the public information session to get residents input on what forestry officials said was a plan to “selectively log” a 1,100-hectare tract of Crown land. • Some UBC Okanagan students struggled to find a way to school after it was discovered cycling access to the university was cut off. Residents along Curtis Road in Glenmore locked off a gate along the private road, though UBCO believes it has a legal easement to allow students access. • Stats Canada announced that the unemployment rate in Kelowna grew to 7.1 per cent in December, up from 5.6 per cent in November and 5.8 per cent in December 2008. • Local real estate officials once again predicted a return to a balanced and sustainable market.

Their populations are closely watched in the Kamloops area and can vary anywhere from 400 to 1,000. • Solicitor General Kash Heed was in Kelowna for a speaking engagement, and took time to assure local reporters that worries over civil liberties being trounced after Olympic bashing, were largely over-blown. • Interior Health’s CEO Dr. Rob Halpenny explained the new provincial policy that may have left his pockets emptier than anticipated. The pay-for-performance program meant that he could lose 10 per cent of his $350,000 salary, if the health authority did not meet its goals. • More than 15,000 people jammed into City

• The B.C. government, released its budget with the HST surprise and groups, like the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, expressed concern. The local chamber’s issue had to do with the billion-plus dollars the federal government gave for implemen-

W OUR VIEW
Look into 2011 political crystal ball
A
s we head into the second decade of the ”new” millennium, we don’t know what to expect. The first decade brought us many surprises. We hope we can cope with any new ones, and the best way to do that is to be ready for them, to at least have a Plan B. If we had the powers of a fairy godmother, we’d wave a wand over the heads of all politicians, municipal, provincial and federal, and magic them
into adopting the precautionary principle (PP). The precautionary principle holds that when any project puts human health and welfare, or the environment, significantly at risk, or when the potential damage is irreversible, it’s better to err on the side of caution. Like just don’t do it. People in power (PIPs) should also be very aware that PP also applies to finances. Don’t pile up debts for future generations. PP goes hand in hand with
MAIN SWITCHBOARD 250-763-3212
Murphy’s Law (if anything can go wrong it will) and sustainability (don’t use up our renewable resources faster than they can regenerate). We’ve all experienced Murphy’s Law and most of us know if we keep using (abusing?) our renewable resources faster than they can renew themselves, there will be problems somewhere down the line, if not for us, for our children or grandchildren, and that’s for sure. We can’t rely on science or
economists to save us either. Scientists don’t even agree N if climate change is really happening, never mind what’s causing it, and economists haven’t proved to be our saviours either. Using PP shouldn’t be too much of a stretch. We carry insurance on our houses and vehicles. It’s the same idea. Another job for my fairy godmother’s magic wand, if we had one, is to put hope and love and joy into all our hearts as we begin 2011.

The year of the independent MLA may continue on in 2011
T
he year 2010 will find a place in B.C. history for several things, from the triumphant Olympics to the abrupt resignations of Premier Gordon Campbell and NDP leader Carole James. But it’s another development that could prove more significant. Not only were the province’s two main political leaders shaken loose, the whole structure of party politics has undergone what may be a permanent shift.
Suddenly there are four independent MLAs in the B.C. legislature. In 2009, Vicki Huntington was elected as such in Delta Tom South, which could be Fletcher written off as an oddity of an insular community. But this year, Peace River South MLA Blair Lekstrom quit the B.C. Liberal cabinet and caucus over the harmonized sales tax. Then Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson was expelled from the NDP caucus for criticizing James and Koo-
VICTORIA VIEWS
tenay East MLA Bill Bennett was booted out of the B.C. Liberal cabinet and caucus for breaking ranks over Campbell’s leadership. Simpson and Bennett were widely seen as being punished for saying what many were thinking—that their party leaders had become liabilities. Simpson has taken things a step further. He has given up his NDP membership, reasoning that a new leader won’t change the fundamental problem. And that is the party system itself. It’s no mystery why half of eligible voters didn’t bother to cast a ballot in 2009, Simpson says. Their disgust can be understood by anyone who knocks on doors to
campaign. They all promise the same thing, he says: “…send me to Victoria. I will represent you. I will break that cycle of going down to Victoria, then coming back and telling you what’s good for you.” But then the two dominant parties, the NDP and the coalition currently known as the B.C. Liberals, impose their policies. MLAs are “whipped,” an unusually truthful bit of parliamentary jargon, to follow the party line. A majority means absolute power, held tightly in the premier’s office. Huntington proved that independents can get elected. Since then, she says she has seen the negative effects
of party politics up close. She was appointed to the standing committee on Crown corporations. In a year and a half it has yet to meet. Committees that do meet are controlled by a government majority. Opposition MLAs ask only negative questions, turning the committee into See Fletcher A11

LETTERS
Future Shop – Correction Notice
Education has sealed church’s fate
Church matters to one at a time
To the editor: In response to James C. Tanner’s letter to the editor, published Dec. 26 in the Capital News, headlined Church Losing Its Flock, Relevance, I must disagree with his assumption that the future of the Okanagan church community will be determined by its willingness to create a ‘course correction.’ Statistically it is clear that more and more Canadians are not participating in church services. If the church was able to adapt and assimilate more followers to correct their losses, they would have done so years ago. We must consider that the power to resurrect the church may not lie with the church itself, but with the Canadian people.
To the editor: This is in connection with Lorne Beloud, who asks pastors (which includes me) to answer the question “If your church disappeared over night would we notice?” (Dec. 26 Capital News) Thomas Carlyle is quoted: “When the oak is felled, the whole forest echoes with its fall; but a hundred acorns are sown in silence.” Lorne, most of the church’s work is done in silence. I, too, am a pastor, and yes, my congregation and I have repeatedly asked that question: If our church disappeared overnight would we/our community notice? In fact, we asked our community that question too. And you know what, the an-
W CHURCH
Many are subscribed to apathy and doubt in Christian religion and are thus not participating in church activities. Religious doubts are catalyzed by scientific thought, a methodology which is deeply rooted in high school and university education systems across the globe. If this subscription to scientific reasoning is gripping young and old minds alike, as I suspect, then the church cannot recover regardless of what ‘corrections’ they implement. They have never been compatible with science or logic. Perhaps it is time to let the church go and stop mourning over its fate. Amber Choo, Kelowna
swer was a resounding yes. We live in a rich community—rich by most Canadian city standards. But where my particular church community is situated, is perhaps among the poorest. I could tell you horror stories that don’t necessarily make it to the press, but our church chooses to work to make things better. When nobody in Kelowna responded to the needs of people who are in worse shape than us, my church—peopled by some of the poorest and retired people— responded, and responded most generously. It’s just that we don’t particularly like to talk about it. Pastor Shonu Ghosh, Kelowna
Only with the Holy Spirit can ‘Satanic forces of evil’ be resisted To the editor: I’m writing in response to Pete Watson’s letter in the Dec 26 Capital News, Headshake Is Overdue. Mr. Watson asked if I have ever seen a lost limb miraculously replaced by my God. I have to admit I haven’t, but I once heard a testimony from someone who claimed they did. But I would like to say to Mr. Watson that I have seen other miracles that would definitely defy his world
of logic. A person that doesn’t believe in God obviously doesn’t believe in the devil either. Jesus told his followers that they would receive power when the Holy Spirit came upon them. This happened to them on the day of Pentecost. The only necessary reason for us to need power is so that we can resist the opposing power of the Satanic forces of evil. I was in bed when I asked God to baptize me
in his Holy Spirit. As his Spirit was released in me I suddenly began to speak in another language. This was exactly the same experience that happened to our Lord’s followers, 2,000 years ago. I asked, and as expected, I received. What I didn’t expect was, as I began to speak in tongues, I also felt an outside source of heat touch me on the forehead. Like Pete Watson I too seek undeniable truth
to support my beliefs. I now had two amazing and foundational spiritual experiences that proved to me the truth and accuracy of scriptures found in God’s written word— the Bible. Both took place separate from the influence of other people. And both took place when my focus was centered solely on the God of the Bible. Scripture lists the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which could now operate through me—gifts given
to each of us as God determines. And, as with the gift of healing, he also determines when that gift would operate so that it’s always according to his will and not our will, thereby keeping us humbly dependent on Him. It’s God’s will that we bless one another through the gifts of the Holy Spirit—gifts which scripture teaches, are given for the perfecting of the saints. Vernon Kapler, Kelowna
Independents in the legislature able to represent constituents better without party baggage Fletcher from A10 the same kind of Punchand-Judy show one sees in question period. It’s all about scoring partisan points, not solving problems. Why would the public take it seriously? Simpson has been pleasantly surprised about his sudden transition to independent MLA. The rules allow him two staffers at the legislature, instead of a share of opposition resources that mainly serve the leader’s priorities. Now when he takes a constituency problem to a cabinet minister, he is no longer viewed as a member of the enemy camp
‘‘
THE WHOLE STRUCTURE OF PARTY POLITICS HAS UNDERGONE WHAT MAY BE A PERMANENT SHIFT.
that is trying to unseat the government. They can actually talk about solutions. Lekstrom has been sitting in on a series of meetings with B.C. Liberal leadership hopefuls over the problems of the Agricultural Land Reserve in the Peace country. In short, the ALR makes no
sense up there and is actually pushing people out of farming. As an independent, Lekstrom can work on that without worrying about an uninformed backlash from the populous south. Bennett, like Lekstrom, occupies a constituency on the Alberta border with an independent streak as wide as the main street. Both are seen as heroes at home, and if they ran as independents in 2013 they would probably do better without the party baggage.

The concept of group buying meant nothing to Okanaganites just a few months ago, but as of last week two companies dedicated to deals are in the Okanagan Valley and now just about everyone is talking about bulk savings. Groupon launched the Kelowna leg of its shopping website just over a week ago, making it among 300 cities worldwide that benefit from daily deals on local goods, services and cultural events. Using the principles of collective buying, Groupon negotiates discounts with popular businesses. Subscribers then get free daily emails alerting them to the deals, which are activated only when a minimum number of people agree to buy, encouraging subscribers to share the promotion with family and friends.
“Groupon has seen fantastic success in Canada,” said company representative Julie Mossler, from her Chicago office Tuesday morning. “We started in Vancouver and Toronto and have amassed 20 territories since then. That’s shown us, even in a medium-sized market, the model works.” Before the company launched in the valley, ads popped up on the Internet asking those interested in group-buying to sign up for notifications,. When company reps managed to amass several thousand interested buyers and businesses willing to give Groupon a go, they launched the site. Since that day, explained Mossler, they have gained 20,000 subscribers in the Kelowna area and that number is growing by several hundred a day. While it would be a hefty clientele for most businesses, Groupon
doesn’t make cash from subscriptions alone and Mossler said that learning what a market demands can be tricky. The company also entered a market that’s already bought in to group buying, in the form of Groupon competitor Twongo Canada. That business launched locally in September under the ownership of Kelowna-based entrepreneurs Mike Minor and Barry Chretien. Their intent was to launch in the Okanagan first, then spread to other areas of the Interior and then the country at large. Groupon, on the other hand, doesn’t have local roots and are currently hiring reps to cover regions rather than cities, but Mossler said she can’t see that as a problem. “It’s not the first time that a market has been that way, we invented the social commerce space,” she said. Social commerce is a branch of eCommerce
that’s hinged on the success of web applications the likes of Twitter and Facebook. The company sends out a notice, using those
communication avenues, and then the reach snowballs as users share deals with their friends and family. Five years ago the model wouldn’t have
worked, she said, explaining that consumers were more leery of online deals then. These days, it’s been an easy sell and the company keeps growing.
It’s grown so much, that Groupon is actually hiring 150 people a month, she said, explaining that may mean a local rep could be in the offing.

Kelowna connection at Olympics Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
A pair of former Kelowna Rockets won gold, a Kelowna native grabbed a bronze medal, while yet another local athlete had her first taste of the Olympic experience as the sports world came together in Vancouver in 2010. Ex-Rockets Duncan Keith and Shea Weber helped Canada to a dramatic 3-2 overtime win over the USA in men’s hockey to capture the gold medal at the Winter Olympic Games.
Weber was named to the tournament’s all-star team. “It was unbelievable feeling to win gold for your country,” said Weber. ““I got to shake hands with the Prime Minister after the game in the dressing room, we got some pictures taken with him. it was just all hard to believe, we were just trying to take it all in, trying to make the moment last forever.” In the four-man bobsleigh event, Kelowna product Chris Lebihan reached the medal podium
as Lyndon Rush drove Canada 2 to the bronze medal in Vancouver. As an added bonus Lebihan and his wife Naomi’s first child, Beau, was born in Calgary during the Olympics. “Two huge prizes,” Le Bihan told the Canadian Press. “He’s the biggest one, though. He’s incredible.” In women’s ski cross, Kelowna’s Kelsey Serwa came within a whisker of competing for a medal in her first Olympics but was eliminated from contention by half a ski-length in
the semifinal. Still, the 21-year-old finished strong as she won the B final to finish fifth overall. “I thought I was going to be super nervous and freeze up but that wasn’t the case,” Serwa said in an interview with the Capital News. “I took the crowds energy and fed off it.” Kelowna’s Steve Omischl (aerials) and Kristi Richards (moguls) of Summerland competed in freestyle skiing competititons, with both athSee Olympics A19

SKI TIPS #004
LOOK AHEAD FOR BETTER BALANCE
When you’re skiing, where you look is usually (hopefully) where you go and where you look can really change your balance for the better or worse. One thing that’s very common is a person skiing and looking down at the tips of their skis. Looking at them isn’t going to make them do what you want them to, in fact just the opposite. Think of it like walking while carrying a very full cup of coffee. If you look at it chances are pretty good that it’s going to spill but if you just keep your head up and walk you’re probably going to make it back to your desk or your kitchen table minus the scalding. Your skis will do what they need to do if you keep your head up and focus down the hill. Another thing to keep in mind is that immediately looking across the hill when you turn will more than likely cause you to twist your shoulders. Pretty simple, but your head is attached to your shoulders. A quick move with your head and the shoulders are along for the ride. When that happens you loose grip with the downhill ski and you’re going to skid. Try this instead; scan the horizon when you move down the slope. This will give you the ability to see further ahead and maybe find that line of fresh snow to charge through as well a keeping you better prepared to avoid any unwanted situations. To train yourself to look ahead is a pretty easy task, simply find an object downhill from you and keep it in sight while you ski to it. There’s no need to stare at the object, just the occasional glance will keep things in order. Try this a few times and keeping your head up will come naturally.

Kelowna’s Rory MacDonald made a statement in 2010, beginning what he hopes will be a successful mixed martial arts career with two fights for the biggest MMA organization in the world: The UFC. Nicknamed the Waterboy, MacDonald was signed to a four fight deal with the UFC, then in January won his debut at UFC Fight Night 20 winning by submission against Mike Guymon. But it was MacDonald’s second fight—versus longtime contender Carlos Condit—that won MacDonald the respect of fans and the UFC. MacDonald controlled the first two rounds of the fight, but found himself on the defensive in the third round and couldn’t hold on as Condit earned the TKO when the referee stopped the fight with sev-

The fight was named fight of the night and a bruised and battered MacDonald earned $80,000 for that, reaping the rewards of his UFC war and despite the loss, generating a lot of buzz and positive feedback from the UFC.
The organization named the MacDonaldCondit fight the sixth best fight of the year and also named MacDonald to its top 10 list of best newcomers to the UFC, rating him at number nine. “Just 21 years old, Rory MacDonald entered the UFC with plenty of
hype behind him and he kept the buzz going with a first round submission victory against veteran Mike Guymon in January,” the UFC stated. “But the kid from Kelowna made believers out of the staunchest skeptics in June, when he battled tooth and nail with Carlos Condit, a legit
and longtime contender who no 21-year old should be holding his own with. Expect big things from him in the future.” MacDonald was off due to minor knee surgery the rest of 2010 but is expected to return to the UFC octagon on April 30 in Toronto.
W COLLEGIATE
It was a very good year for UBCO’s Heat Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
From medals at the provincial and national levels, to major individual awards, to gaining acceptance into Canada West, 2010 was an unforgettable year for the UBC Okanagan varsity athletics program. In March, Steve Manuel and the Heat women’s volleyball team capped off one of the most dominant
seasons in any sport with their second consecutive B.C. and Canadian collegiate (CCAA) championships. At the national finals in Gatineau, Que., the Heat defeated FX Garneau 3-0 in the championship match. ““This team still really had that hunger,” said Heat coach Steve Manuel. “It’s great that we won one national championship, but it was almost like
from the get-go that the team wanted to prove that first one wasn’t a fluke. We wanted to show that it wasn’t a flash-in-the-pan, that the Heat are here to stay, it’s a real program.” Heat player Alex Basso capped off a stellar year as the CCAA player of the year and national tournament MVP. Meanwhile, the UBCO men’s team went 16-0 during the regular season, then added the
bronze medal at both the provincials and the CCAA nationals. Men’s volleyball coach Greg Poitras was also won the provincial and national coach of the year awards. “It’s an honour and a team award,” said Poitras. “It was nice for our program to be recognized.” In women’s basketball, Heather Semeniuk’s Heat won its second BCCAA gold medal in four

Ex-Rockets get NHL hardware Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Already regarded as a solid producer of professional talent, the Kelowna Rockets image was elevated to new heights in 2010. A pair of the team’s former defencemen became major NHL individual award winners, the first such honours in Rockets history. Duncan Keith grabbed the Norris Trophy as the NHL’s outstanding defenceman, while Tyler Myers wrapped his long arms around the Calder
Trophy as the league’s top rookie. The awards were new benchmarks, not only for the players themselves, but for Rockets architect Bruce Hamilton and the rest of his organization. “I’m proud of those guys, our whole organization is thrilled to see what they’ve gone on to do,” said Hamilton. “They’re great players and great people, and that’s what’s most gratfying. It was a pretty special night.” Keith, who played with the Rockets during the 2002-03 campaign,
was nothing short of spectacular for the Chicago Blackhawks this season with career highs of 14 goals and 69 points. “To come out and be the guy who gets the award is kind of surreal a little bit,” Keith said on nhl.com. “To think of the other defencemen who have won it, and nominated, and the other Blackhawk players who have won it, Chris Chelios, Pierre Pilote to name a couple, to be in that group is kind of unbelievable.” The 6-foot-8 Myers, 19, led all Buffalo Sabres
players in ice time per game and topped all rookie defencemen with 11 goals and 37 assist for 48 points. Myers was humbled to be mentioned in the same breath as three former defenceman who previously won the Calder— hall of famers Bobby Orr, Ray Bourque and Brian Leetch. “To be put in a group like that…to hear those names is a huge honour,” said Myers who led the Rockets to a berth in the Memorial Cup in 2009. “I can’t believe it.”

Stolen guitar gets returned to Cruzero
Abbott endorsed by second local MLA B.C. Liberal Party leadership candidate George Abbott has staked himself as a moderate centrist in the party’s leadershship race. And that position seems to be attractive for at least two of our local area MLAs. Kelowna-Lake Coun-
try MLA Norm Letnick was quick to throw his support behind Abbott, and just before Christmas Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson also gave his endorsement to Abbott. Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart has yet to publicly back any of the
leadership candidates at this point. “Steve has been an outstanding Minister in his new portfolios of Natural Resource Operations and Energy, and previously as Minister of Agriculture. On top of that, he has been a tireless advocate for the needs of his rid-
ing of Kelowna-Mission,” said Abbott. Thomson said he believes Abbott represents the right type of collaborative and common-sense leadership the province needs right now. “His leadership style will bring a new focus to the priorities of our rid-
ings and communities— especially those outside of the Lower Mainland,” Thomson said. Thomson becomes the 14th Liberal MLA to declare support for Abbott’s candidacy. The Liberals will vote to elect a new leader, and our next premier, on Feb. 26.
Curtis Tulman, a member of The Cruzeros, is singing a happier tune now that his guitar has been returned after someone stole it after he had performed some Christmas songs at the MCC Thrift Store in Rutland on Dec. 20. Kelowna RCMP said two people turned the guitar in at the Rutland Community Policing Office, saying they had discovered it leaning up against a building. The two said they’d heard media reports about the guitar being stolen. They found it still in its carrying case, with not a mark on the unique blue case. They said they knew, from media reports, that it was the guitar that had been stolen. The six-string acoustic electric guitar with a blue metallic finish didn’t have any damage or marks on it. “The spirit of Christmas is clearly alive and well in Kelowna,” said Const. Steve Holmes.
Kelowna RCMP want to welcome in the new year safely The Shopper’s Drug Mart’s Tree of Life fundraising campaign collected $2,753 for the funding-strapped Kelowna Women’s Resource Centre. The Kelowna Women’s Re-
source Centre is mandated to serve the needs of women in the local community. “The work of the Kelowna Women’s Resource Centre is women’s wellness in all its forms,
in a whole-body, holistic manner addressing the issues of social, cultural, physical, emotional, intellectual, environmental, life planning and spiritual wellness,” said to Micki Smith, exec-
%
utive director of the women’s resource centre. “We are very excited to be chosen by Shoppers Drug Mart at Orchard Park shopping Mall to be the recipient this year.”

radio career in British Columbia lasted nearly 50 years, recently made a generous contribution to the fundraising campaign for the Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Building Technologies in Penticton. Hughes began his radio career in Trail in the 1940s. Two years later, in 1946, he started work at CKNW. During his time there, besides becoming president and part-owner of the station, he was the voice of The Roving Mike, an assignment that lasted until 1994, when Hughes retired after doing more than 15,000 episodes. He was also the president of the Vancouver Canucks from 1972 until 1981. He has been a significant supporter of post-secondary education in B.C. and his family carries on the traditionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his son, Brian Hughes, is a member of the Okanagan College board of governors. Bill Hughes was a longtime member of the Douglas College Foundation and was a major supporter of The Bill Hughes Family Library at Douglas College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I understand what an asset a college is to a community and the country,â&#x20AC;? said Hughes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased to be able to lend my support to the Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Building Technologies. It will be an important training facility producing skilled workers to deal with the new world order around a changing climate.â&#x20AC;? The $28-million Centre of Excellence will provide space for 820 students from throughout the South Okanagan and the rest of the country after it is completed in March, 2011. Through the Knowledge Infrastructure Program, the federal and provincial governments have contributed almost $23 million toward the facility, which will be one of the continentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most environmentally-responsible buildings. Citizens and Corporations are raising the remainder through the auspices of the Okanagan College Foundation.

W HEALTH
The illusion of social and environmental consciousness
A
recent story I came across in the news talked about reusable shopping bags that contain excessive amounts of lead from the ink used on the bag. The bags in question were from LuluLemon Athletica and Sears. Some of the bags contained 117 parts per million of lead, while others came in at 194. But as I looked into this issue more out of curiosity, I realized there is more to this picture than meets the eye. Consumers who choose to live a healthy lifestyle and think that they have nothing to worry about because they shop at particular stores or eat particular foods may be in for a big surprise. Many of the stores that advocate these attributes in their marketing campaigns may have you sucked into a grand illusion. Most of the products they sell will most likely come from a Chinese sweatshop that dumps more toxins into the environment than you can imagine. One comment I read that was written by a consumer pretty well sums up this issue: “While we are busy paying five cents extra per bag ostensibly for ‘environmental charges,’ China is busy pumping out toxins in everything from bags to baby formula. We need to start forcing them to clean up their act, because nothing we do here is going to matter as long
as they are pumping out toxins and pollution at the rate they are doing.” As consumers, it is important for all of us to understand that if someone is trying to sell us John something, it is packaged Sherman real nice and glossy, and if there is a counter culture attribute about it, somewhere in the attic there may still be some dirty little toxic secrets attached to the manufacturing of that product. “Made in China” can’ always be used in the same sentence with “environmentally conscious.” In countries like China were environment and health issues aren’t addressed in the same way they might be in Canada, you have to consider that while, for example, that clothing item you buy might be considered “green, “ how it was made may be a whole other story. Think about that when you are out shopping for post-Christmas sales. Consider the illusion and the impact of these designer socially-conscious products that are anything but that. Look at the label and see where it is made. From a global perspective, these choices we make affect the health for everyone in the long-term. John Sherman is a professional homeopath in Kelowna.

Straight razor specialist comes to Kelowna STRAIGHT FROM DEHART
T
Maxine DeHart
here is a new straight razor shaving specialist for men at the Hair Saloon, owned by Rhonda Rae at 2575 Richter St. in Kelowna. Merina Shearing has relocated to here from Dawson Creek. Not only is she a professionally qualified men’s hair stylist, Shearing is also a straight razor specialist, something of a rarity now in Kelowna. The procedure is simple—eight hot towels, two straight razor shaves, a facial and scalp massage (in case you get bed-head). The entire experience takes no longer than one hour and you’re a new clean-shaven man. It’s the “manly” thing to do and also a great gift for the man who has everything. Call 250-763-4009. Formerly with the Silver Star Ski Resort, Dennis Lowen is the new executive chef at Chop Steakhouse & Bar on Enterprise Way. Pho Soc Trang Vietnamese Cuisine has opened at 1530 Water St. (upstairs above the Plan B Barber Shop). Owned and operated by the Ha family (father, Roi Ha, mother, Beo Nguyen, and sisters Tam and Jenn Ha), this ethnic restaurant offers home-cooked traditional Vietnamese food originating from their home community. Pho means noodle soup and Soc Trang is the area in Vietnam
which their family came from, hence the restaurant name. Stop by and put your chopstick skills to the test and try some of their Pho-nomenal Pho soup with a hint of spices to liven things up a bit. Putting their heart and soul into the food, they are open from Monday to Saturday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sundays, noon to 9 p.m. Call 778-4780541. Flip Flop Shops has opened in Orchard Park, just in time for that winter vacation. Owned and operated by Kerry Michalkow, the shop carries everything for you to live, work and play with your toes exposed. Flip Fop carries an extensive and impressive brand of flip flops including Sanuk, Olukai, Flojos, Reef, Havaianas, Cobian and Vans. The store also carries sunglasses, flip flop slippers, a variety of UGC boots and slippers and the neatest “collapsible” flip flops for ladies whose feet need a rest from high heels. Some Flip Flop products are made from recycled material like yoga mats. See www.flipflopshops. com. After 35 years on the job, Kelowna fire department Capt. Harold Heyming has retired. He received a little ribbing from his buddies at the fire department— he still has his first nickel; he should stay away from wine spritzers; he opened his wallet for the first time in 35 years to pay for breakfast at Perkins; he is a real jock; and Dave Leimert says he is the only guy they know over 30 who can pull off Spandex.

Had a super visit with Zander Cook, president/owner of Ethan Allen, which will be opening in February at 105-2900 Pandosy St. It’s hard not to notice the 5,000 square foot, upscale development in the 2900-block of Pandosy with the huge Ethan Allen sign. The new store will offer classic design with a modern perspective and if you have visited an Ethan Allen in another city, you know that it will be a welcomed addition to the Kelowna market. Ethan Allen has it all—from floors, to walls, to windows and everything in between, you will find it under one roof. Offering complimentary design by their interior design pros, the store also offers cus-
tom design for both case goods and upholstery, with no charge for home calls. Their products are beautifully displayed and whether you are looking for one piece or a full household, the shop is full of great design ideas. As this particular Ethan Allen is a “studio size” concept, there will also be numerous 40-inch Plasma touch-screen TVs located around the store so all of their hundreds of products and variables can be viewed from one place. A complimentary delivery for local orders will also be offered, which is a real bonus. See www.ethanallen.com. Happy 50th anniversary Walley and Marietta Lightbody (Dec. 30). Cute story. The Lightbodys celebrated their wedding at the Capri Hotel,
that being the first event in the ballroom. Since the hotel was new, the ballroom had not been named, so on the wedding invitations, Marietta’s mother put “Riviera Ballroom.” I think the hotel should have kept that name, if for no other reason than it’s a great story for the sake of nostalgia. It’s that time of year when we feel it’s time to buckle down and shed a few pounds and LA Weight loss is the perfect place to begin. Melissa Burrows is now leading the centre of LA Weight Loss in their new location at 1780 Springfield Rd. Joining Burrows is a strong professional team to help you, leading at the regional level by Lori-Ann Turgeon. LA Weight Loss still holds and maintains one of the
highest levels of brand recognition in the industry with a cost effective and successful program and then educates clients to keep the weight off. Call 250-862-2606. A local company, Enquiro at 410-1620 Dickson Ave., has been bought out, and is now part of a new company called Mediative. As a Yellow Pages Group Company, all Mediative services are supported by one of Canada’s five most trusted brands. With the recent acquisition of Enquiro and other companies, Mediative debuts as one of North American’s largest integrated digital marketing companies. The new Clara Centre for children and youth with autism spectrum disorder, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and other neurological and developmental challenges will

Regulating the staff office romances

LEGAL EASE
Robert Smithson This may be especially noticeable in the event of a breakdown in the relationship, when residual hostilities tend to manifest themselves in ways which are destructive to workplace harmony. The most important context in which employers may regulate office relationships is between supervisors and subordinates. It is well established that the employer has a legitimate interest in knowing about, and taking reasonable steps to control or prevent, these situations. The key problem arising from the supervisorsubordinate romance is the existence of a power imbalance between the two. The prospect that the supervisor will abuse his or her authority in the course of the relationship is of great concern to employers. For example, a supervisor who is in the position of assessing the partner’s performance, affecting his or her salary, or making decisions about promotions is a supervisor who is not able to act objectively. And there is always the real prospect that this position of power will be used in a negative way if the relationship ends. Acting preventively, the employer can (and should) establish a policy, guidelines, and training on appropriate work-

As with many aspects of the employment relationship, establishing conduct guidelines and taking early steps to deal with inappropriate relationships is the best approach.

Second, ongoing attention can be given to the policy by way of periodic training sessions simulating real life situations. This will provide supervisors and subordinates alike with situational experience of what is, and is not, appropriate workplace behaviour. The objective is to establish a broad awareness of the boundaries of acceptable conduct. Empowering the employees to recognize the early signs of such a situation will equip them to take evasive measures. Third, supervisors and subordinates must be made to understand that the most important step is early disclosure of potentially inappropriate relationships. Disclosure allows the employer to assess the situation before any damage has occurred and to im-

place relationships and conduct. This can be a core component of the employer’s ongoing management training regimen and might comprise three primary elements. First, the boundaries of appropriate workplace conduct should be defined in a policy. It can be useful for the policy to provide examples of appropriate and inappropriate forms of conduct. Supervisors should be made to understand that they (more than the subordinate) are ultimately responsible for ensuring their conduct does not cross into inappropriate territory. They should be educated on how such inappropriate conduct can, and likely will, form the basis for a complaint of harassment.

mployment lawyers commonly advise employers who are asking how to eliminate personal relationships between employees. That result is likely one which is unachievable, both legally and practically. As adults, many of us spend the majority of our waking hours at work the workplace is our primary venue for social interaction. Surveys have indicated that over one-half of employees have been romantically involved with a co-worker and almost one-fifth of employees met their spouse at work. So, an employer seeking to totally prevent personal relationships between employees may only succeed in forcing them to be carried on in secrecy. And, at least generally speaking, there is neither a law nor any sort of moral authority directly giving employers the right to restrict employees’ personal relationships. An employer embarking on a broad campaign to stamp out workplace relationships may find itself the subject of a variety of complaints and actions. These could take the form of a human rights complaint or a civil claim of constructive dismissal. There are circumstances, however, when an employer can lawfully impose restrictions on office romances. It would, for instance, be perfectly acceptable for an employer to take disciplinary action when the activities of couples stray over into misconduct.

Customer service should always be a priority I ‘‘ n a small business environment, in order to increase sales and attract new customers most small businesses focus on customer service. Customer service tends to be basically nonexistent when dealing with large corporations, crown corporations, the government or businesses that operate within a union environment. An example would be the post office whereby I was told that the postal person could not bend down and slide our mail underneath the door while we were closed over the holidays because that would be backbreaking. Instead, I could go and pick up our mail at the main sorting station. Two questions come to mind: Does this person not bend down? Why should I pick up mail when I pay to have it delivered? Conversely, the same day a postal person delivering packages went out of their way to deliver a package to me that was

On a daily basis I need to interact with the Canada Revenue Agency. I have come across similar issues in customer service where some employees go out of their way to make sure that you are satisfied and others are borderline rude. The Canada Revenue Agency has now instituted a policy whereby each phone operator is to introduce themselves to you so that should there be a problem, the employee can be identified and the problem corrected. The health care system is another example

where customer service suffers. Again, there are employees that go out of their way to try to answer your questions where others are again borderline rude. The most frustrating is the volume of people that need the health system and the lack of resources available, yet services continue to be cut and the line-ups get longer in order to meet the budget, rather than to service the people. I grew up in the day when the doctor would still make house calls. Today, the doctor sees so many patients, the patient needs to make sure that the doctor remembers who they are so that the drugs prescribed do not interact with each other and to request to be sent to a specialist for treatment of a chronic condition.

ceutical industry. In my view, and having never worked in an environment where my pay or working conditions were guaranteed, it seems that although private smaller services may be more expensive, I am inclined toward privatization. At least we can hope to move towards better customer service. Granted, it is the holiday season and people seem to be more stressed at this time of year, and people do have bad days. But not every business has a busy season and when that does occur, the focus on customer service needs to be increased rather than decreased, especially if the business wants repeat customers and to hang onto a good
reputation. Our office is looking forward to tax season when we get to see people who we only see once a year. We really enjoy getting reacquainted and having the possibility of reducing taxes for our clients. What can small businesses do to improve customer service? Well one-on-one contact seems to be one of the key criteria. Really listening to what the customer wants and satisfying that need efficiently and at a reasonable cost. Some of the computer companies and marketing firms offer a service and then require that you fill out a survey as to your satisfaction with the service but neglect to tell the customer that this extra ‘work’ would be required. Perhaps more success might be obtained if the employee providing the service were to ask if the customer were satisfied. Another option is to have a friendly face or a smile for the customer when he or she enters your establishment. If a customer looks
like they are searching for something, perhaps they may need assistance and that assistance should be offered. I can remember being in Europe in some of the more upscale shops and as soon as I walked in the door, there was a salesperson that was ready to satisfy my every desire. I really enjoyed that one-on-one service. Periodically, I do find that one-on-one service here in Kelowna and it always keeps me coming back. If you are a small business owner, you know what you don’t like when you deal with one of those large corporations, big box stores or the government. You know how you would like to be treated so you probably will be able to decide how you can deliver that service to your customer. Good customer service will always provide positive results.

Jura ignites her own spark of creativity Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
If the ballet were to loan dancers to Tree Brewery, Anna Jacyszyn and Bernie Addington chimed in Jazz Café-style and Ryan Donn sang a duet with Andrew Allan, there’s a chance the Okanagan music scene might muster a little of Paisley Jura’s genre-defying creativity and knack for collaboration. Yet after a year of shipping in fantastic Canadian artists and mixing musical temptations like the Western Canadian Music Award’s Grapes of Wrath and We Are the City headliners, it appears the Minstrel Café has decided it might be simpler to just kick off 2011 by booking acts that offer it all. And a Jura show certainly promises this little bit of everything with songs that border on jazz, slide to blues and ricochet back to pop, all written by an artist who wants to push the envelope every chance she gets. “I’m not really keen on having to belong to one camp or the other,” she said in interview just before Christmas as she tried to explain how her second album wound up with such a diverse collection of sounds. Young, playful and decidedly avant-garde, one doesn’t doubt this is one artist with the creative
spark needed to launch another fantastic year of live music in Kelowna and carry the momentum of the WCMAs and BreakOut West forward.
The new Paisley Jura album hits on just about every genre from old time country to jazz, musical theatre, pit band and orchestral.
“Simple, easy, lyrical but with a musical richness,” she said, as she described how she wanted to produce something as complex and intelligent

as jazz music, though she really doesn’t enjoy listening to most jazz. As a classically trained base player— who also knows her way around a guitar, cello and piano—this is one talent poised for a life of experimentation. “Everyone should listen to everything,” she said, and that’s exactly what the album offers. It’s also a bit of what a Jura concert holds. While virtually every artist crammed into the marketing machine these days is claiming to be “genre-defying,” in Jura’s case, she’s also actively pursuing ways to bring her mix of music out into the public forum in the most non-traditional format possible with shows inspired by the classical concert series concept, but offered in radically different settings. Called The Secret Room Series, Jura’s wacky concert creations push music fans, and those for whom her musical creations would likely never be sampled, into the same room—and the room itself is somewhere music is not normally heard. As part of the series she’s played the Great Lake Brewery with modern dancers who performed among he vats. Spanish jazz singer Alejandro Rivera joined her at the Canadian Military College where members

ing over Bloor Street. The event was streamed on the Internet so the apartment dwellers in the building directly adjacent could listen too. The concert at the Minstrel is not a part of these Secret Room Series creations—she’s still on the prowl for her 2011 venues and said she’s
got her eye on a nuclear power plant. But those who come out to the Minstrel Café can hear her experiment with some of her other mixes and muses—like language. Singing outside her native English for several of her new tracks, she said she needed friends to come in and work through the diction for her as she only has high school French and German. “It was way easier for me to be musically free in another language,” she said. “When I sang the songs in other languages, it was just pure musical expression.” Her sophomore album, Time is How You Spend Your Love, is produced by Michael Wojewoda, a top producer known for working with bands like the Barenaked Ladies and Great Big Sea, and for playing with the Rheostatics. Jura plays the Minstrel Café Jan. 7. For more, visit www.minstrelcafe.com.

Ciara rolls out her most Basic Instinct CIARA: BASIC INSTINCT (LAFACE)
Ciara is getting great notices for her fourth studio album that many critics are hailing as her best album to date. There are a lot of very good songs on Basic Instinct and Ciara is no shrinking violet when it comes to sexual double entendres. In fact Ciara is an absolute tiger at single entendres or no entenders at all with sometimes explicit and sexually aggressive titles such as You Can Get It and Girls Get Your Money. Her lead off single Ride, cut with Ludacris, is a sexy and sultry ode to ‘the beast with two backs’…as Shakespeare called it. Meanwhile, Ciara will be boasting a major club hit with the indelible dance pop duet Turn It Up with Usher that is a short and sweet dollop of ear candy done at just under the three minute mark—a quickie if you will. The lovely and sly reggae beat to Wants For
Paltrow can also belt it out with authority on the cooking country rocker Shake That Thing, while her duet Me And Tennessee with film executive producer and country superstar Tim McGraw is bound to become a hit. This album is lengthy at 13 tracks and 53 minutes but I’m not sure that Country Strong will be the blockbuster hoped for. j Too many ballads too. C+
SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell Dinner (sic) also has an insistent hook so watch for probably three hits deep for this entertaining and interesting disc. The musical vibe might be underplayed and restrained at times but Ciara leaves no doubts about her Basic Instinct. B+

rock chops on the cowbell-driven Kiss Ya. The strongest cover here is a funky updating of Buffalo Springfield’s classic For What It’s Worth. But there is a chance this otherwise likeable album might not find an audience. Although her fine vocals might catch the attention of Sheryl Crow or Melissa Etheridge fans, the music here isn’t easy to pigeon hole. Not quite country enough for the C&W airwaves and not quite rocking enough for rock, but well worth a listen. B-
COUNTRY STRONG: SOUNDTRACK (RCA
This movie seemed to come and go without much fanfare but this soundtrack is well worth a listen especially for fans of the latter day new traditionalists. A lot of the singers here are of a certain vintage with well established stars such as Hank Williams Jr., Patty Loveless, Sarah Evans and Trace Adkins who don’t get played as much on C&W radio nowadays. But I suppose the selling point of this soundtrack is the three songs by one time Hollywood “itgirl” Gwenyth Paltrow. She has a sturdy and likeable voice (maybe due to studio wizardry and AutoTune?) on the rootsy power ballad that is the title track.
COAL MINER’S DAUGHTER, A TRIBUTE TO LORETTA j LYNN (COLUMBIA) This tribute album to veteran C&W star Loretta Lynn was designed to celebrate 50 years since her debut single a half century ago. As far as tribute albums go, Coal Miner’s Daughter is a good one with an impressive lineup. Hellraiser Gretchen Wilson offers a rousing honky tonk cover of Don’t Come Home Drinking’ (With Love On Your Mind) while Carrie Underwood lends her crystalline vocals to a true reading of You’re Looking’ At Country. Alan Jackson teams up with Martina McBride for a fine take of the very familiar gem Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man while Steve Earle and spouse Alison Moorer offer an alt-country rendition of After The Fire Is j Gone. My pick of the litter here is Reba McIntyre’s If You’re Not Gone Too Long that offers up a cool country swing with the lively accompaniment of the Time Jumper. There are a few rock artists here too with the White Stripes, Kid Rock (surprisingly effective) and Paramore while the woman of the hour Loretta Lynn makes a cameo as a trio with Miranda Lambert and Sheryl Crow on the title track Coal Miner’s Daughter. A solid tribute set. B bwcmitchell@shaw.ca

W KELOWNA ART GALLERY
Ian Johnston’s Bag Suite in 4/4 Time at the gallery R
egular visitors to the Kelowna Art Gallery may recall the stunning, huge, indigo blue installation created by Nelson-based artist Ian Johnston for our MODULE exhibition in 2009. That work was 40 feet long and was made up from discarded vinyl car bumpers. Johnston likes to use junk and garbage as the material in his art, and this seems to work for him on a number of levels. Viewers can recognize the objects and marvel at their transformation, and the artist manages to sneakily work in a comment about the environment at the same time. So it is also with Johnston’s current solo show at the Kelowna Art Gallery, Bag Suite in 4/4
ON VIEW
Liz Wylie Time, which is made up of about 500 porcelain vessels. This time the overall colour is a pale grey/green, both for the containers and the discarded retail metal shelving these items rest upon. The entire gallery is flooded in nasty fluorescent light, adding to the greenish cast of the installation. Johnston created these hundreds of vessels in 2007 when he was in an artist’s residency
CONTRIBUTED
IAN JOHNSON, Bag Suite in 4/4 Time (detail), 2009, ceramics and shelving, at the Kelowna Art Gallery until Feb. 6. in China. He poured wet plaster into a discarded plastic shopping bag (that terrible environmental
scourge) to make a mould and then proceeded to create his army of vessels, all from four origin-
al shapes. Johnston has explored the ceramics medium for a number of years, push-
ing the envelope both in terms of aesthetics and the structural limitations of the material. In this case, a decidedly post-modern installation still refers to the tradition of porcelain work, making the link through the green colour, for example, to Celadon ware, produced in China beginning in the ninth century. A viewer may feel a vertiginous sense of vacillation between the harsh feeling of a clinical facility and the subtle beauty embodied in the smooth porcelain material and mesmerizing repetition of the vessels. Despite the down-scale steel shelving and harsh fluorescent light, there is a quietude and an almost meditative atmosphere in the room. There is also a nod to
consumerism in the retail-like presentation of the repeated vessels, none of which, of course, is for sale. So one’s imagination begins to roam, as one stands in this shop-like installation, over topics such as mass-production and consumption, sustainability, as well as notions of handicraft, ancient mediums and processes, and in general, by extrapolation, the human condition. This is the kind of exhibition that truly needs to be experienced in the real. Bag Suite in 4/4 Time runs at the Kelowna Art Gallery until Feb. 6. Liz Wylie is the curator at the Kelowna Art Gallery. 250-762-2226
Wrapping up the Most Memorable Events of 2010 list
C
hristmas is subsiding and the New Year approaches. Over the past few weeks I’ve counted down numbers 10 through four of my most memorable events and happenings of 2010. Here’s the rest, including my No. 1 most memorable event in 2010. 3. PEAK Performance Project The PEAK Performance Project is an artist development project for emerging artists all over B.C., funded by the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group. In January it was announced that our local boys from We Are the City won the top spot and the grand prize of $150,000. The money couldn’t have gone to anybody else more genuine and truly passionate about the music they make. It also goes to show that great music in B.C. doesn’t just come from Vancouver. 2. Conduit Festival This “by the people, for the people” festival not only hosts a huge variety of arts and culture but also pairs it with local fare and a focus on the ecological involvement of the Okanagan. Held at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, Conduit brought together everyone in the cultural community and I can’t wait for it to happen again in 2011. 1. BreakOut West Festival How could this not top anyone’s cultural calendar of 2010? Formerly known
as the Western Canadian Music Awards, BreakOut West came to Kelowna in late October and filled the town with music, music, and more music. Although there were other components to BreakOut West, the fes-
tival aspect was definitely the most memorable. Seeing that many talented artists play (and fill to capacity!) all of our local venues, and even some non-venues, was the best thing to happen to Kelowna since the Ogopogo.
I know there were plenty of other amazing events that happened around town in 2010, but these are the ones that stood out the most to me. I’ve had a great time with my spot here in the Capital News for the past
year and I can’t wait to start up again next year with a new look and a brand new column (just
think Awesome…). Happy New Year to all—see you in 2011. Pyper Geddes is the
assistant manager at Habitat in downtown Kelowna. pyper@thehabitat.ca

KAKOSCHKE, RITA WELLS Loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend to so many, has gone to be with the Lord on December 25, 2010, after a long and courageous battle with brain cancer.

Rita was born in Swan River, Manitoba on November 9, 1938. Her and her family moved to the Okanagan when she was a child and has made her home in Kelowna ever since, raising her four daughters as well as many of her daughter’s friends. When Rita married her second husband in 2009, their time spent together was filled with much travel, plenty of laughter and many joyous occasions, which we thank Garry for.

He was a 65 year member of the Royal Canadian Legion, serving as Legion Provincial Command in Saskatchewan and president of the Kelowna Branch.

Passed away peacefully surrounded by family at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital on December 20th, 2010. Phil was born on December 14th, 1915 in Mournville, AB, the youngest child of a family of 10. He worked on the family farm and married his childhood sweetheart Ethel Speechley in 1936 in Jarvie, AB. Phil and Ethel enjoyed 52 years of marriage, living in various small northern towns in Alberta. Phil joined the Navy and served on ships in Toronto and Victoria, settling in New Westminster after the war. Phil and Ethel moved to Canoe in 1946 where Phil worked at the Federated Co-op for over 25 years. Phil was an active member in the Salmon Arm and Canoe Community as a volunteer fireman, a very active member in the Salmon Arm Credit Union and the Knights of Columbus, Roman Catholic Church.
