Two food banks to share top executive job
Sex assault sentence upheld by Court of Appeal
Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
One executive director is now responsible for both Kelowna Community Food Bank and Westside Community Food Bank. The food banks recently announced plans to start working closer together. The first step toward that goal was the announcement that the food banks will share executive director Lenetta Parry. The food banks will continue to operate as separate legal entities, with their own board of directors, separate bank accounts and they will issue their own tax receipts. Food and funds raised in each community will stay in that community. “I know it’s going to be a challenge, but I think the two food banks working together will be beneficial to the clients, the THERE ARE LOTS communities and the donors,” said Parry.

A man named a dangerous offender after a bizarre sexual assault in Winfield eight years ago has had his bid to overturn his sentence denied. In a decision posted online Tuesday, the Court of Appeal ruled that the dangerous offender designation and indeterminate jail sentence given to Larry Wayne Jesse was “not unreasonable” and did not result in an unfit sentence. Jesse was 53 when, in February 2005, he inserted a cork into the body of a woman who had passed out at a house party in Winfield. He had previously been convicted of sexually assaulting a woman by inserting plastic shopping bags into her body in 1994, and has convictions for indecent assault and prowling at night that date back to the late 1960s and early 1970s. At his sentencing, he was found to be a high risk to re-offend as the sentencing judge said there was “no reasonable

▼ MISSION CREEK
Restoration project reviewed by minister Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Environment minister Mary Polak got a close look this week at plans for a restoration of Mission Creek’s natural meanders in its lower reaches, and was positive about a project to set back the dikes which currently restrict its flows. She was impressed by the number of agencies working together on the project, called the Mission Creek Restoration Initiative, as described for her by Todd Cashin, manager of subdivision, agriculture and environment for the City of Kelowna
The minister was visiting Kelowna to encourage people to comment on provincial proposals for a new water act. While here, she toured a property which was recently acquired in order to provide land where the dikes could be set back to allow the creak to meander more like it used to, before it was channelized to try and prevent flooding. Re-naturalizing the creek will increase habitat for fish, birds, insects and aquatic creatures while providing more space for the creek to spread out during spring runoff without cresting the dikes and flooding adjacent lands,
he explained. The popular Mission Creek Greenway would just be re-routed to the new, set-back dikes so walkers, runners and riders would actually gain a longer trail. The creek drains the largest watershed within the Okanagan Basin and provides a quarter of the water that flows into Okanagan Lake, but where the main channel was historically 60 to 80 metres wide and 30 kilometres long through the city, it is currently about 31 metres across and just 11 kilometres long. The parcel the minister toured will be a pilot

Time is now to comment on proposed new water act for B.C. Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
We all require it for life, but we don’t pay much attention to how it arrives in our glass—as long as it does. Provincial environment minister Mary Polak was in Kelowna this week asking that you pay more attention to water and take this opportunity to review a proposal for updating B.C.’s Water Act for the first time in a century, with new legislation that will be tabled in the spring. The proposed legislation for a new Water Sustainability Act includes provision for groundwater to be allocated, monitored, controlled and licensed, an area where B.C. falls far behind other jurisdictions in having no licensing or legislation governing wells or water drawn from an aquifer.
“We know they operate together (underground and surface water sources),” commented Polak, so both should be managed together. Fees would be applied for use of groundwater, but the regulations following adoption of a new act would determine what those would be, she said. The idea is to recover the costs for managing the resource with fees, she added. Domestic users would be exempt from licensing. However, licences could be required in areas where aquifers are under high water demand, so are vulnerable. Data would also be collected, so there’s a clearer understanding of groundwater resources. Polak said the new act would also require that priority goes to main-
taining environmental flow needs to ensure that fish stocks are not put at risk and pollutants are not introduced to the resource. She favours regional approaches within watersheds because the needs and the resource is so variable in different parts of the province, but she said decision-making would continue to rest with the province. In considering a fee structure, she agreed it’s important to keep water reasonable for farm uses, and she agrees with the concept of a water reserve tied to agricultural land. Regional Water Sustainability Plans, integrating water and land use planning could provide the basis for allocation plans in a watershed, and each would be unique to the area. The current basis for water licensing, seniority rules, or First In Time,
First In Right, or FITFIR, would continue, she said, but the province would have the power to step in in the event of an emergency, such as a drought. Polak said she expects the legislation to go before the house at its spring sitting, to be followed by construction of the regulations around the new act, which could take a year or two in all. During the first period of public consultation on the new act, the Okanagan Basin Water Board submitted a detailed series of recommendations, and executive-director Anna Warwick Sears says what’s been presented reflects much of what they recommended, although there isn’t a lot of detail yet. The devil will be in those details, she feels. She appreciates that the govern-
ment has been pretty open about the whole process. It’s important that civic governments and the province engage in discussions so that careful thought, planning and decision-making around water issues result. She was also glad to see that the proposed legislation is explicit about the need for fees to pay to manage water. Currently, the per-person cost for water is just pennies per year per person, so it’s not unreasonable to expect charges to go up, without that having a big impact on individuals, she commented. The public has until Nov. 15 to comment online on the proposed legislation. Go to: engage.gov.bc.ca/ watersustainabilityact/ jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Karis Support Society group homes targeted for Central Green Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Davara Enterprises will build and operate two Karis Support Society homes on the Central Green located on the former Harvey and Richter
site of Kelowna Secondary School. On Monday, Kelowna city council approved 15year housing agreements to move the homes for women struggling with addictions onto the site. The society already
operates eight homes, including spaces for single women and spaces for those with children. The new homes, located at 550 Rowcliffe and 555 Buckland will help satisfy the 15 per cent affordable housing de-
mand for the site, as stipulated by a lengthy planning process that included considerable input from the surrounding community. The agreement makes room for 30 housing units ranging from studios to
three-bedroom homes.
NEW PARKADE BISTRO
A new bistro will open where The Greenroom operated out of the downtown parkade stationed between the Kelowna courthouse and the Oka-
nagan Regional Library’s downtown branch. Youn Tae Kang, a chef with 12 years of experience in the industry, will offer sandwiches and snacks from the small bistro kitchen in a similar vein to the previous coffee
shop/restaurant tenant. The facility is owned by the city and the lease extended is for a five year term. Kang has hotel, restaurant and catering expertise. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Local MLA brings lumber benefit message to China
DURING THE 2013 Forestry Asia Trade Mission, Steve Thomson signed a letter of intent with Zhejiang, Minister of Housing and Urban and Rural Development Tan Yueming, for strategic collaboration to build with wood. Zhejiang is B.C.’s newest partner in China for building with wood. Zhejiang has China’s fourth largest GDP estimated at over $550 billion US.
Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
B.C. softwood lumber exports to China were worth $1.1 billion in 2012, and the industry is on track to increase both volume and value this year, reports local MLA Steve Thomson, minister of forests, lands and natural resource operations this week from China. He’s on an Asian trade mission with 25 industry leaders from around the province, but took time out to discuss their successes late Tuesday in a phone call from Shanghai. In fact, B.C. already has a 53 per cent share of the softwood lumber market in China, he noted, and although growth in China has slowed to seven per cent, he said there’s still a 12.5 per cent increase in wood construction there, in a move away from concrete and steel, toward greener building technologies. This province can supply high-quality wood products which can’t be found in domestic supplies.

ies such as Gorman Brothers Lumber, are on the tour with Thomson, meeting with existing customers and showcasing B.C. wood products to attract new ones. Rick Jeffery, CEO of the Coast Forest Products Association, is one of those accompanying Thomson, and says having the forests minister on the tour attracts potential customers for the industry. “He’s a great draw. They make time to show up because the minister is there and that gives us a chance to show our products,” he commented from China. From Shanghai, the tour moves on to Beijing and a meeting of 200 in China’s wood frame construction industry. The group first toured Japan, which Thomson described as a long-term, highvalue market for B.C. wood, worth more than $700 million in 2012. As that country rebuilds its economy, he said there are many opportunities for B.C. wood, particularly in the non-residential market, such as for resorts and seniors’ housing. Thomson returns to Canada on the weekend.
4:30 p.m. Mental illness has a huge impact on our community. Every year, more than 500 people die by suicide in British Columbia, and for every suicide, according to Statistics Canada, there are at least 20 attempts. It’s one of the leading causes of death among young people aged 15 to 24 years, particularly young men. For more information about mental health resources, contact the Canadian Mental Health Association at 250-861-3644 or Kelowna@cmha.bc.ca. The Kelowna branch of the CMHA exists to promote the mental health of all and support the resilience and recovery of people with mental illness through education, advocacy, research and service. Every Canadian either has personal experience with a mental health issue or knows someone who has. Participating in creative pursuits such as art at our Wellness Centre, is one of a number of strategies that can help promote mental health and often prevent mental illness.

The idea was to respect the original architecture of the exterior but they gutted the interior, using heavy timbers to retain the heritage flavour inside, he said, although
it’s fairly modern. It said it was a satisfying job, and he was impressed that the Krykos were committed to restoring an older building even though it cost more than twice what it would have to just tear it down and rebuild on the site.

o
A couple of Heritage B.C. awards came home to Kelowna this week from this year’s Heritage B.C. conference in Burnaby. The recently-restored H.D. Riggs house at the corner of Borden Avenue and Ethel Street received an award for care and commitment to conservation of an important heritage building. It was presented to Dave and Donna Krysko and Dustin Sargent with Davara Holdings as owners of the property, and Gord Wilson of TEAM Construction for the restoration work. It’s one of the few remaining residences built of Kelowna brick and it was built in 1915 for one of the owners of the Kelowna Brick Works which was located at the base of Knox Mountain, using clay mined from the nearby clay cliff. His business partner, Charles Clement built the home at about the same time he built his own further east at 1049 Borden Avenue. a By the 1930s the -house was under new ownership and later turned into a rooming ehouse. d When it was built, it -was considered “out of ,town’ but today it’s part of -a unique cluster of heritage homes in Kelowna’s south central neighbourhood. 5 The Riggs home is deyscribed as a mix of residential architectural feantures including Richard-son Romanesque, Queen -Anne and Foursquare -styles. 4 Wilson said although it’s a large-looking buildhing, there is only about 5,000 square feet on three hfloors and the building was run-down when he ftook on the job of restorsation. - They found three lay. ers of brick on the exterrior walls, which allowed ethem to remove one of ethe interior walls of brick oto use in restoring some
business and its two charitable foundations. Former president of the Central Okanagan Heritage Society, Lorainne McLarty received the Ruby Nobbs award at the BCHS annual meeting for her outstanding volunteer contribution to heritage, over a period of 28 years with the COHS. In nominating McLarty, the COHS noted she epitomizes the heritage volunteer with countless hours of effort that saw the local group through some of its darkest days. She served on the board from 19998 to 2012, in the positions of treasurer, secretary-treasurer, vice-president and president. As well, she has been involved in the city’s Community Heritage Commission, heritage week committee, community memories projects, regional history fair, the Kelowna and District Genealogical Society, First United Church, Kelowna Heritage Museum, Orchard Museum and the Heritage Canada Foundation.

Anand Kannan was out riding his ATV in 2008 when one big rock flipped his vehicle and changed his life forever. Having worked as an x-ray technician for almost 25 years at the Kelowna General Hospital, Kannan immediately knew that he was paralyzed from the waist down. Fortunately, Kannan quickly met someone who would give him the knowledge and the courage he needed to take on the world again, this time from his wheelchair.

“His name was James Hektner, he was also from Kelowna, and at that point he had been in a chair for 10 years. He came over to my house, he showed me all kinds of things, and we just started hanging out,” said Kannan. Eventually, Hektner and Kannan invited other wheelchair users to join them on their outings, and in 2010, their group started receiving funding from Spinal Cord Injury BC, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people with paralysis through peer support and information. “It’s made getting out of the house so much easier because I wouldn’t have. I would have been
scared to do things,” said Kannan. “To be out in public, to know how to get in and out of your car, to find bathrooms, to know how to do curbs—all these things we learn as a group. “We encourage each other to get out of the house and learn how to be in a chair.” “Spinal Cord Injury BC is about pushing boundaries and opening doors,” added Hektner, who now works full-time as SCI BC’s Kelowna peer coordinator. “A lot of people feel really isolated and restricted in what they can do after a spinal cord injury, but if you push those boundaries, it empowers people and gives them more confidence.” In 2012, SCI BC held 48 coffee groups and 20
events for more than 500 peers and family members throughout Vernon, Kelowna, Penticton and Oliver. Next year, the organization hopes to expand to Kamloops and Salmon Arm. Tonight (Thursday), Spinal Cord Injury BC is hosting their very first Kelowna fundraiser to raise funds for their Okanagan events and programming. Tickets to the Bring Your Own Chair (BYOC) event are $30 and include gourmet appetizers, drinks, and a chance to win an incredible door prize: a free trip for two to Las Vegas, Nevada, including flights and hotel stay. Net proceeds will be directed exclusively towards Spinal Cord Injury BC’s Okanagan Peer Support Program.
Guests are encouraged but not obligated to BYOC in support of those who bring their wheelchairs with them everywhere they go.

One tool to help drivers achieve zero crash tolerance goal
“
I wish I could be as perfect as you” is a desire I hear all -too often from my lovely wife, Terri. e Early on in our relationship, my immediate thought had been: “Good for you, Love. Goals are timportant.” - I have long since /learned to recognize when her words are dripping with sarcasm. I have lost more than Cone excellent employee -who has felt that my exgpectations have been undreasonably high. I do not expect perfecntion, but I do expect that we will continually work towards eliminating errors -and ensuring nothing gets missed. This means identinfying and reviewing er,rors and, most important-ly, figuring out tools (sys-tems and procedures) that :will prevent the same errors from occurring in the future. So when I go to my closet and find my trousers wrinkly, I offer the “tool” to my wife, giving the helpful suggestion that she simply pull them out of the dryer and hang them up before they turn into a wrinkled mess that has to be ironed. My wife has her own
ACHIEVING JUSTICE
Paul Hergott sense of achieving perfection: Handing me the iron and inviting me to wash them myself. There are times and places in our world when we do expect, and insist on, perfection. We have zero tolerance with our children, for example, when it comes to the need to look both ways before crossing the street or wearing a helmet when getting on a bicycle. Is it reasonable for us, as a society, to have a zero tolerance when it comes to car crashes? Are my expectations too high when I pursue the “One Crash is Too Many” campaign? The distracted motorist who rear-ended a stopped motorcycle in March 2012, killing the driver and seriously injuring the passenger, was sentenced this week for the only offence in the Motor Vehicle Act that covers that scenario:
“driving without due care and attention.” The carnage would have been avoided had the motorist been simply paying attention to the road ahead of him. Was that too high an expectation to have of that motorist? The judge didn’t think so, sentencing him to three months in jail and a fine. How about this: Is that too high an expectation to have of anyone who gets behind the wheel of a vehicle? Nobody is perfect. Each of us will have a lapse of concentration from time to time. Even if we eliminate eating, drinking, doing our make-up, talking on a cell phone, texting, changing the stereo, working the navigational system and yes, that unacceptable driving behaviour that I insist my wife pull over for, our thoughts are bound to drift away from the road ahead of us from time to time. Most of the time, drifting thoughts won’t result in deaths and serious injuries. It is just when thoughts drift at inopportune times like pulling up behind a line of stopped vehicles at an intersection, approaching a stop sign,
0126
868-
or driving through a school zone when drifting thoughts come with serious consequences. If we were able to eliminate drifting thoughts; if we were able to achieve the perfection of our attention being directed at the road ahead of us 100 per cent of the time, we would eliminate crashes. I proposed a “tool” to help us do just that in my column of March 29, 2012, when I initially wrote about the rear-ender fatality. I gave credit to a friend, Jess, who is a model of attentive driving. This friend always drives with her hands at “10 and 2.” I wrote that I would “give it a try,” using that hand positioning as a tool to help me focus on the critically important task at hand— driving. I found the tool to be tremendously successful. The periodic “close calls” that I had experienced throughout my driving life, during those inevitable momentary lapses of attention, completely disappeared. Any time I found my hands drifting from the “10 and 2” I was snapped to the reality that my mind was also drifting.
Based on my own, personal, success, I unveiled a challenge that we all “do the 10 and 2” as part of my One Crash is Too Many road safety campaign early this year. Thank you to Doris Bregolisse, with Global Okanagan, who helped give it “legs” by doing a news piece on the 10 and 2 challenge in late April, 2013. With the National Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims coming up Nov. 20, I ask that each of you, including my wife who has thus far resisted, humour me and give it a try: “doing the 10 and 2”.

Important need for rail safety
T
he CN derailment in Gainford, Alberta on Saturday was somewhat ironic for those who heard one of CN’s top operating officials speak at Tuesday’s Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce meeting. Francois Boucher, who is general superintendent for CN’s B.C. South region, spoke about the general safety of the rail industry, and pointed out that 99 per cent of goods shipped by rail arrive safely. He spoke about the volume of CN traffic in Lang-
ley, on its mainline through Fort Langley and on the CP track through Langley City, which is the main rail route to the Roberts Bank port area. There is no question that rail transportation is as safe, or safer, than any other means—highway, air or marine. Many people are trying to use the Gainford incident to emphasize the relative safety of pipelines, but as was shown in Kalamazoo, Mich., several years ago, major spills involving pipelines also take place. However, rail lines go
through many heavy-populated areas, and when there is a derailment involving hazardous goods, the consequences can be much greater. In Gainford, nine cars were carrying liquefied petroleum gas—likely propane. This is a highly explosive product and has been shipped primarily by rail for many years. In Langley, liquefied petroleum gas goes through on the CN mainline every single day. The line passes through Fort Langley, with homes built close to both sides of the tracks.
The federal government said in the throne speech last week that it would implement “targeted actions” to ensure more safety in the transportation of hazardous goods. This is a step in the right direction. Boucher emphasized what is most important, the need for railways to make safety their top priority at all times. That emphasis needs to go beyond the confines of the rail line itself, and take into full consideration those who live near rail lines. —Langley Times

Seeking a post-secondary education should start with a plan
T
oday, if you want to get a college or university education, you better have a plan. This is especially important for those thinking about university degrees in arts and science, more so perhaps than for other credentials which are tied to workplace outcomes such as a surveying diploma or a degree in nursing).. An education plan is intended to help students who complete less applied programs (such as a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in English) figure out their career goal with this
degree in mind. As an example, someone with a degree in English could complete a one-year teaching degree and become a teacher. Jane They might also conMuskens sider a certificate program in TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) and embark upon a career teaching ESL either locally or internationally. English degrees also lend themselves well for work in communications, public relations, publishing and writing. These are career plans that students with this degree need to consid-
SCHOOL’S IN
er before they begin their studies. The problem with planning is that most young adults I know aren’t always certain of the kind of work they want to do, let alone at a point to build a career plan that will guide them to determining what college or university credential they need to get there. Many need to start taking courses to help them figure this out. That’s why it is so difficult for some of them to wrap their head around the idea of going to school and linking this to a viable working career. One of the best ways to help young adults build a career plan and to make the best post-secondary decision is to have them talk to those people working in jobs they might
want to consider. While this may seem like a hard thing to do, right now most post-secondary institutions across Canada are hosting career fairs where they invite professionals from a number of sectors to attend. At Okanagan College’s upcoming career fair on Sunday, Nov. 3, a new event focused on how to plan for post-secondary has been added to help those who have been out of high school for a number of years and soon-to-be high school graduates. This seminar (called Admissions and Advising) is geared towards those who are just starting to figure out what their options are and where the planning begins. It starts at 11:30 am and is located
in E103 – in the Centre for Learning building, Kelowna campus on KLO Road. (The Career Fair runs from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission and parking are free.) Another favourite event at the OC Career Fair that is often well attended is College Prep 101 for Parents, starting at 1 p.m. in the lecture theatre, a session geared towards parents so they can help their son or daughter navigate through the number of post-secondary options available to them. Most things in life need a plan, whether it is a vvacation, building a new house or changing your job. Education is no different. Jane Muskens is the registrar at Okanagan College.

LETTERS
Insurance company may be putting its financial ‘injury’ ahead of rugby player’s To the editor: Re: Friends of Badly Injured Rugby Player Rally to Meet Medical Costs, Oct. 18 Capital News. It’s rather distressing to read of this young mans catastrophic injury and the apparent denial of disability claim by his insurance company. Perhaps the facts, as reported in your paper by Mr. Rob Mason-Brown, have been distorted. Sports insurance is a high risk business. Accepting a claim often means long term multi-million dollar payouts. However, if the claim denial is based on the interpretation of the phrase “complete or incomplete spinal cord injury” then Mr. Campbell has been rendered a disservice in denying his claim. This is a catastrophic event in his life. Isn’t that what his insurance is for? As a former spinal surgeon, let me explain
the basics of spinal cord injury pathology. The cord is rarely if ever actually severed unless by gunshot wound. From the outside it appears swollen but intact. Inside its substance there is hemorrage, edema and distortion of nerve cells and fibres. The length and breadth of this injury can be measured by MRI scan but the long-term loss of function can only be approximated by repeated physical examination of the trunk and limbs. The term “complete paralysis” means to a physician, that no useful sensory or motor function remains below the injury. But the insurance company appears to have interpreted this phrase to mean “no detectable function” below the injury. Neurologically speaking it is extremely rare ever to observe absolutely no sensory or motor function below the injury. That is to say,
almost no spinal cord injured patient is truly “complete.” Most cord injured patients have patches of retained sensation and occasionally flickers of muscle activity below the injury. However these observations are functionally useless unless certain key muscles (such as quadriceps or biceps) can contract and resist gravity. These individuals are thus “functionally complete” below the injury level even though some activity remains. So, if terms such as complete paralysis, paraplegia or quadriplegia are used they are merely abstractions of a far more complex process. These news reports lead one to believe that the insurance company is defending itself from injury rather than supporting Mr. Campbell. Dr. Rick Dewar, West Kelowna

▼ WIRELESS COMPETITION
Feds need to ‘reduce proliferation’ of cell towers To the editor: The federal government has public support to generate competition in the wireless telecommunications market giving Canadians access to the latest technology at better prices. The government’s intention, with the wireless spectrum auction in January, 2014, is to bring competitive players into the wireless market. The October 15, 2013
article: Cell Service Tower Divisive Issue For Residents, in the Capital News focuses on a new cell service tower being considered in West Kelowna. The response from area residents, according to Telus, is “about a 50/50 split of being for and against the project.” The article goes on to examine why some residents have concerns about the process (poor
public notification, environmental aspects, short time-frames for submissions from those effected, etc.). We can expect this process will be repeated in the future as the government’s plan to increase competition is going to create demands for constructing more cell service towers in urban areas. Additional towers are necessary as the government
is mandating more wireless access for rural areas to be rolled out quickly after the auction. The government is aware of the publics’ concerns and in 2008 introduced policies “to reduce the proliferation of antenna towers” and has reaffirmed this position earlier this year stating there will be improved policies set in place. Perhaps we need to
ensure our elected officials improve the process before the next proliferation of tower construction begins. Further, that they remain focused on the reduction of redundant antenna towers with the existing wireless providers. T. Kinsman, West Kelowna

Excellent work from road crew To the editor: We’d like to express our heartfelt thanks to the construction crew and flag people working on the recent repaving and sidewalk installation on Guisachan Road. Our son uses a power wheelchair for mobility and needed access to our driveway to attend college classes and other activities as often as three times a
day. We know this caused extra work on more than one occasion, such as when the crew hastily smoothed out and tamped down the earth when they saw our garage door go up, enabling us to exit our driveway comfortably. Flag persons stopped traffic to allow us to back out safely and easily between the trucks and heavy machinery on more
than one occasion. The sidewalk in front of our driveway was poured in two sections to ensure that we could always get in and out when needed. Everyone we spoke with could not have been more helpful, and we truly appreciated their excellent work ethic. Wright family, Kelowna

Challenge for new executive director Food Banks from A1 She spent more than seven years in Kelowna, serving as associate executive director. Eight months ago she accepted the executive director role in West Kelowna. The ultimate goal is to alleviate chronic hunger and poverty in the Central Okanagan, said Parry. She noted this direction will help the food banks achieve that goal. “The two food banks have worked together in the past and tried to help each other out. “Having a shared executive director, I can manage inventory levels a little more closely so the resources can be shared between the communities so that we continue to meet our mission.” As for the additional workload, Parry said she is confident she can handle the task. “Working at a food bank requires a lot of flexibility in your schedule. The whole team works a lot of evenings and weekends. “You want to be there for your clients, particularly in times of emergencies. And that might be on a weekend, so you just have to go with what’s happening.” The Westside Com-

Bid to lift dangerous offender designation fails Upheld from A1

possibility” of controlling that risk in the community, the Court of Appeal summarized. Jesse argued on appeal that the sentencing judge failed to adequately consider that the expert witnesses who said he was a high risk to re-offend had relied on unproven facts related to his two prior convictions for indecent assault. However, the Court of Appeal noted the sentencing judge did exclude consideration of the earlier indecent assault convictions in coming to her sentencing conclusion. Jesse also argued the judge did not adequately consider whether he could be managed in the community. “The sentencing judge gave clear and comprehensive reasons for finding that there was no reasonable possibility that the risk Mr. Jesse poses to the community could eventually be controlled and he has failed to establish any error in that finding,” wrote Justice David Frankel in a decision supported by Justices Christopher Hinkson and Kath-

ryn Neilson. “I would, accordingly, not accede to this ground of appeal.” Finally, Jesse argued an indeterminate sentence is “unreasonable and unfit,” saying evidence at his sentencing hearing indicated it is unlikely a person designated a dangerous offender will ever be released from custody. “He further notes that the maximum sentence for sexual assault is 10 years imprisonment and that, therefore, his sentence is significantly harsher than that deemed by Parliament to be appropriate for the most serious sexual assaults by the worst offenders,” wrote Frankel. “Even accepting that, when viewed in isolation, the Vancouver and
Winfield offences do not fall into the ‘worst case/ worst offender’ category, the fact remains that the evidence established Mr. Jesse to be a high risk to re-offend and his separation from the community necessary to protect future potential victims,” Frankel concluded. “The overarching objective of the dangerous offender provisions is to protect the public from those who can be expected to cause serious harm to others in the future; their primary purpose is preventative,” said Frankel. “In light of that objective, and in light of the danger Mr. Jesse poses to the community, it cannot be said that designating him a dangerous offender constitutes an unfit sentence.” Jesse had sought to have his sentence varied to one of nine to 10 years in jail, followed by a 10-year-long-term supervision order, or alternatively, have a new sentencing hearing. The sentence appeal follows a previous unsuccessful attempt by Jesse to have his conviction overturned. edit@kelownacapnews.com

Canada’s Navy, Air Force celebrated in military museum mural Barry Gerding EDITOR
The culmination of a two-year planning and fundraising process was officially celebrated outside the Okanagan Military Museum on Tuesday. Located on the south wall of Memorial Arena, where the military museum is housed, now is hung a third mural depicting the valley’s military history, this one dedicated to the Canadian Navy and Air Force. The mural is a collage of representing different stages in the history of the two arms of Canada’s military. And Tom Wolf, vice-president of the Okanagan Military Museum Society, wanted to make it clear Tuesday that despite it being a photo collage rather than an artistic rendering, it’s still a mural. Wolf said he looked up the definition of mural to find the world can be applied both to artistic renderings on a wall, or an enlarged photo attached to a wall. “I just wanted to make

BOB Hagraft, president of the Okanagan Military
Museum Society, speaks at the dedication ceremony for the museum’s new photo collage mural sure that question was answered,” he said to the local naval and air force veterans gathered together for the ceremony. Wolf explained the original idea was to create an artistic drawing, similar to the two painted murals already in place
on the wall for the B. C. Dragoons and the museum. “We found that we were unable to fundraise enough to pay an artist to do that,”Wolf said. So the fallback idea was to create a photo collage that would tell the
story of the Royal Canadian Navy since 1910 and the Royal Canadian Air Force since 1924. Wolf joked that getting the Navy and Air Force vets to agree on what pictures should be included was a challenge, but “we finally came to agreement I think on version number 40.” It includes photos of the HMCS Niobe, one of the first two ships in the Canadian Navy, the HMCS Weyburn, an iconic corvette vessel that did convoy duty during the Second World War, and the HMCS Okanagan submarine. Representing the air force are photos of of World War 2 Lancaster bomber and the Spitfire along with the current CF-18. The cost for the project was split between the military museum and both the local air force and navy veterans associations. Rick Hebner, president of the Kelowna Naval Veterans Association, said there were “many heated discussions” about the photo contest for the mural dur-
ing the planning process. “But it’s a great thing to have for those that served, those who serve in the Navy now and those who didn’t come home,” Hebner said. He noted the naval history runs deep in the Okanagan in terms of people from here who served in the navy. “There is a rich
FH& P
history here is it will be great to have this mural be a daily reminder of that fact,” Hebner said. Douglas Stanley, president of the 883 (Kelowna) Wing of the Royal Canadian Air Force Association, echoed Hebner’s sentiments, saying the mural reflects on pilots and their crew mem-

bers who served and came home, those who didn’t and those who serve today. “This kind of ceremony brings back a personal memory to me, of my step-brother who flew Lancasters during the war and was shot down and killed over Germany,” Stanley said.

Doreen Smith The dark and criminal side to modern technology is the wide range of scams—costing millions of lost dollars a year to consumers. Online dating fraud and computer fraud are current and expanding scams in Canada. Online dating is a popular fraud target in Canada. A computer is a great hiding place for a criminal, and that includes a criminal setting up a scam to talk about relationships and love. Fraudulent people pretend to look for relationships on line and over time request the transfer of money to the criminal. Don’t believe and act on hard luck or sad emotional stories from Internet correspondence. Many online dating sites have criminals surfing the net for their next victim. This involves doing the same thing to many people at the same time. Once money is transferred to a criminal— it is difficult to get your money back. Another scan is receiving a telephone call or direct e-mail that your computer is at risk of crashing because of a virus or malicious software. The caller may suggest he or she works for Microsoft and offers to help you fix your computer over the telephone or on line. You may be asked to open up other programs to help protect you against viruses, but the reality is they may be installing malicious software on your computer or charging you fees. Do not give scammers access to your computer. With access, they can use personal and sensitive data such as your online

Sci-fi lands at KAG
S
cience Fiction fans rejoice! The Kelowna Art Gallery currently has an exhibition on view that will rock your world. That said, anyone else will also find the show fascinating and enjoyable; the work is not intended for a specialized audience. The artist, Keith Langergraber, grew up in Kelowna and studied art initially at Okanagan College, before heading down to Victoria, then Vancouver, where he now lives and works. A long-time sci-fi fan, Langergraber has spent the last five years making a three-part film that tells the story of a man who accidentally causes a rupture in the space/time continuum which he is determined to repair. The film depicts this character travelling to strange and farflung sites as he conducts his research. Spoiler alert!: He is eventually successful and all is once again right with the world. One of the central fea-
ON VIEW
Liz Wylie tures of the film’s plot is that in the new universe that unfolded from the disruption, the famous late American artist Robert Smithson went ahead and built his glass island project on a rocky islet near Nanaimo that, in our world, he was denied per-
mission for in 1969. Because of this, in Langergraber’s film, he then did not bother to go on to create his famous and iconic 1970 Spiral Jetty in Great Salt Lake, Utah. Smithson was a scifi fan and the spiral has long been a sort of shorthand for time travel. So Langergraber’s show also contains drawings that feature this motif, and a Smithson non-site (to use this artist’s lingo) of a glass island (right in the gallery). One other motif that is explored in both the film and in drawings and

sculptures is the notion of morphological architecture. This means architectonic forms that are built spontaneously by natural processes, not by humans. These formations are currently being created underwater in Pavilion Lake, not far from Kamloops. There is underwater footage of these in
the films, and Langergraber depicts more elaborate versions in a suite of large drawings and a group of seven sculptures. These elements also make reference to the famous sci-fi novel and subsequent films, Solaris, in which mimoid reefs on a fictional planet are actually sentient beings and
take over the minds of the research scientists posted there. So, there really is something for everyone, and the work functions on so many levels, one of which is humour. Langergraber himself plays his protagonist, Eton Corrasable, with deadpan delivery that will
Wikileaks’ Assange a ‘troubled ego-maniac’
THE FIFTH ESTATE
Based on the book Inside Wikileaks, the film The Fifth Estate, directed by Bill Condon, is a bit confusing: Is it a docu-drama, a thriller, a techy-hacker film, a romance, or all of the above? From the perspective of Daniel Domscheit-Berg (Daniel Bruhl— fresh from Rush), a colleague of Julien Assange (played by Benedict Cumberbatch), founder of Wikileaks, Bruhl traces the early days of the company. Wikileaks, the brainchild of the troubled, egomaniacal Assange, sought
BEHIND THE SCREEN
Susan Steen to uncover and disclose all manner of dastardly deeds perpetrated by governments and corporations around the world, no matter how big or well-connected they might be. A noble cause indeed! But this altruism culminates in controversial and history making information leaks which ultimately puts real people in danger. The amazing success
of Wikileaks brought instant fame to the principals, transformed the flow of information and changed lives forever. From the leaking of NATO reports from Afghanistan, death squads in Kenya, Syrian files in 2012 which released more than two million e-mails from Syrian political figures and shedding light on that government’s violence against its own people, to the millions of files which Wikileaks disclosed which name the names of people in covert operations around the globe and which could potentially place thousands of individuals in life-threatening danger,
this was a media machine like no other. To know what the fifth estate is, we need to know the other four, a couple which were identified hundreds of years ago: 1st Estate—Clergy 2nd Estate—Nobility 3rd Estate—The common people 4th Estate—News media, particularly print media 5th Estate—A group within society that is seen as operating outside of society’s normal grouping in terms of their roles and views Bruhl and Comberbatch are brilliant in their respective roles and the story is freshly told from
recent headlines, making it interesting. However, if box office revenues for this past weekend are any indication, folks just don’t seem that interested. Coming in eighth place in the ratings, with even Escape Plan beating it, is not a great sign. By the way, Gravity is still No. 1. A couple of quotes: “When you take on global corruption, you need a few super powers.” “People are loyal until it seems opportune not to be.” These quotes say much about Wikileaks’ founder, who is still hiding out to this day, but this
egotistical, untrusting, success at all costs, tortured soul wanted to uncover and disclose corruption wherever it was, even to the placing of thousands in harm’s way, so maybe it’s more a film about the human condition and how anyone can be blinded by fame and success and the real danger of believing your own media. I give The Fifth Estate three reels—it wasn’t my favourite show, but then those are the ones that often teach the most lessons.
set viewers chuckling, guaranteed. The exhibition is on at the Kelowna Art Gallery until Dec. 29, and is not to be missed. Liz Wylie is the curator at the Kelowna Art Gallery. 250-762-2226 http://kelownaartgallery.com

Along the way we meet his naive girlfriend Laura; Westray, a seedy middleman; Reiner and Malkina, a mysterious and dangerous couple; and Ruth, a prison inmate represented by the lawyer.

ers. If you are not a fan of the Jackass series of film, you will likely not become one just because they added storyline, but those who made the series a huge financial success will likely welcome it. Rock fans in Kelowna have been waiting for the next movie since it was released in IMAX theatres earlier this month. Opening tomorrow at the Paramount Theatre, Metallica: Through the Never is a 3D concert movie sewn together with footage from a set of concerts held in August of last year. The thread in this movie is a storyline about a young stage hand named Trip who joins the crowd, but is soon pulled
out by his superior and sent on an errand to take a jerry can of fuel to a stranded truck belonging to the band’s entourage. What follows is an adventure beyond the stage hand’s imagination, set to the live music of the iconic rock band. Like the thin plot of Bad Grandpa, the story is only there to give some narrative to make it more than just a concert film, but critics are calling it an electrifying, immersive concert film and a mustsee for Metallica fans. The Paramount Theatre is also showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show at midnight on Friday, Oct. 25. landmarkwk_gm @landmarkcinemas.ca

▼ CURLING
Kelowna’s MacKenzie back in the hack Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
With a focus on family life and other personal interests, curling had pretty much slipped off the map for Kevin MacKenzie. Largely absent from the competitive side of the game since 2010, MacKenzie, a former B.C men’s champ, never even threw a single rock all of last season. But when he watched the Brier from Edmonton on TV last spring, the 39-year-old from Kelowna realized the sport still held the same allure it had for the past three decades. “I thought, you know, that really looks like a lot of fun,” MacKenzie said of the Brier, the Canadian men’s curling championship. “That’s the pinnacle for me, the Brier… it always has been. It sort of got me thinking about curling again. So here I am, back at it and I’m having fun doing it.” Safe to say, MacK-
enzie was having fun on Monday night as the Grant Dezura rink celebrated a big win at the Crown of Curling in Kamloops. With MacKenzie throwing last rocks, Dezura claimed the 18-rink World Curling Tour event with a 5-4 extra end win over Victoria’s Dean Joanisse in the final and, with it, the $8,000 first prize. MacKenzie can count on one hand the games in which he’s thrown fourth rocks in the last decade. Still, after three WCT events this season, the experiment seems to be working well. “We sure made some good last rocks in the final, it was nice to go out there and steal one in the extra end for the win,” said MacKenzie, the older brother of Kelowna women’s curler, Kelly Scott. MacKenzie’s decision to return to the ice came after a call this summer
from Dezura, who lives in Maple Ridge. When all was said and done, MacKenzie and fellow Kelowna curler Jamie Smith had joined forces with skip Dezura and Port Moody’s Kevin Recksiedler. So far, MacKenzie said it’s been a good fit, both on and off the ice. “We’re all old enough and have been around long enough not to get too upset, too down on ourselves when things don’t go well,” said MacKenzie, who went to the Brier with Pat Ryan in 2002 and 2003. “You spend a lot of time with three guys, you have to get along with them. This is a good group of guys.” Playing a lighter schedule this season than many of the top teams, the Dezura rink will head back on to the tour Nov. 1 to 4 at the Red Deer Curling Classic. And if all goes as planned, MacKenzie and his new rink mates will be

RICHARD TO SEMIS IN KAMLOOPS
Kelowna’s Jeff Richard and his new rink are enjoying some success early in the 2013-14 curling season. Richard, third Tom Shypitka, second Jay
Wakefield and lead Dave Harper made it as far as the semifinals at the Crown of Curling, before going down to defeat in an extra end, 6-4 to Dean Joanisse on Monday. Richard, who made it as far as the quarterfinals at the Vernon Curling Classic, picked up $4,000 for his efforts.
MORRIS TO QUARTERS IN WINNIPEG
John Morris and his Okanagan rink mates made it as far as the quarterfinals before going down to defeat at the Canad Inns Prairie Classic in Winnipeg. Morris, with Vernon’s Jim Cotter throwing last rocks, and Kelowna’s Ty Griffith and Rick Sawatsky on the front end,
lost 6-5 in an extra end to Ontario’s Glenn Howard on Monday. The Morris rink went 5-3 at the 32-rink, $32,000 event and picked up $4,000. Morris, who left the Kevin Martin rink in the off-season to join forces with Cotter, will be in Kitchener, Ont., next month for the Canadian Olympic pre-trials.
▼ JUNIOR HOCKEY
Kelowna Rockets’ best penalty kill stats in the WHL Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
As Western Hockey League opponents are quickly discovering, going on the power play against the Kelowna Rockets doesn’t necessarily translate into quality scoring chances.
A month into the new season, the Rockets lead the league in penalty killing efficiency at 90.2 per cent, allowing a meagre five goals on 51 opportunities. Between reliable goaltending and solid execution, head coach Ryan Huska said the Rockets

are getting the job done while playing a man short. “First and foremost, your best penalty killer is your goaltender,” said Huska. “They have to make saves and our guys have been doing that. “The other thing is our guys have been doing a good job of reading
each off other and reading plays,” he added. “They’re taking away time and space from the other team and are doing a good job of moving their feet.” The Rockets penalty killing unit was perfect on Tuesday, going 4-for4 against the Calgary Hitmen.

Still, it wasn’t enough as the Hitmen escaped with a 2-1 win, scoring the decisive goal with just 65 seconds left in the third period. Despite the loss, Huska liked a lot of what he saw from his team, particularly during a dominant final 20 minutes.
“I liked that we didn’t relent, we came after them in waves,” he said. “This was one where I thought we deserved better. You can flip it around, we probably won some games earlier this season that we shouldn’t have. We took some our of early season medicine, I guess
you could say.” The Rockets (7-2-02), who have played eight of their first 11 games at home, will take to the road this weekend as they visit the Victoria Royals for a doubleheader, Friday and Saturday nights.

the junior women’s event, taking the gold medal with a 122.3 point total. Another highlight occurred during group 1 of Pre-Juvenile Women Under 11, as Kelowna skaters Daria Carr, Alyssa Dobbs and Summer Peitsch swept the podium. Kelowna’s Maya Rose took the gold in group 2. The Kelowna team also showed their skill in winning both gold medals at the Pre-Novice Women Under 14 level. Ajsha
of the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen
Gorman won group 1, while Mckenna Colthorp won group 2, flanked by club mate Rochelle Reeve with the silver. Ten year-old Olivia Gran skated a flawless and powerful program to capture the gold medal in Juvenile Women Under 11. Also striking gold in their respective events were Kaiya MacLeod (Pre-Juvenile Women U14) and Mackenzie Nelmes (STAR 4 Girls group 1).
“Overall, it was a solid weekend for our skaters,” said KSC Director Jason Mongrain. “For the most part, the performances have improved since the last couple of events, which hopefully bodes well for the main events ahead.” The next event for the Kelowna club will be the BC and Yukon Sectional Championships at Richmond next month.

Host Owls 2nd at Best of West
Only the province’s top-ranked AA team had an answer for the Kelowna Owls. The MEI Eagles from Abbotsford defeated the host Owls 2-0 (25-21, 25-16) on Saturday in the final of the Best of the West boys volleyball tournament at KSS. Up until the final, the Owls had lived up to their DNo. 1 ranking at the AAA level by winning their power pool, then taking down three straight opponents in the playoffs, including No. 2 (AAA) ranked Earl Marriot in the semifinals. n “The semi final game awas KSS’s best match eof the tournament,” said Owls coach Mike Sodaro. :“Strong passing by Jory ;Dickie, Liam Duncan, ;and Devon Cote led the -team to victory over a tough Earl Marriott team. “Unfortunately, the passing was not as good -in the final,” added Sodaro.” All in all a great -weekend of volleyball for the No. 1 Owls.” Owls Devon Cote and Eli Risso were named to the tournament’s all-star team. The Mt. Boucherie Bears finished tied for seventh in the 32-team tournament. The Okanagan Mission Huskies tied for 11th place.

With a lacklustre effort at a tournament in Kamloops over Thanksgiving weekend behind them, the Kelowna Fripp Warehousing Rockets have rebounded for a solid start to the Okanagan Mainline’s regular season. The midget tier 1 Rockets pushed their league record to 3-0 with a pair of road victories over the weekend. On Saturday in Kamloops, the Rockets downed the Lions 3-1. Lathan McKinney, Jordan Bautista and Jeran Knorr scored the goals, while Sam Bobyn was strong in net when needed, making three timely saves when the game was still in doubt. On Sunday, Kelowna defeated Vernon 4-2. Bautista continued his torrid scoring pace with two goals, while Ty Cridland and Clay Stephens chipped in singles. Brady Lenardon earned the win and made a couple of big saves to help preserve the win. This weekend, the Rockets will travel to Prince George for two games with the midget Cougars.

Mt. Bou Bears claw past KSS Owls in long-standing gridiron rivalry
GREYSTOKE PHOTOGRAPHY
MT. Boucherie’s Beau Jackson (right) pressures KSS quarterback Callum Reid in B.C. high school football action Friday at the Apple Bowl.
As expected, there wasn’t much to choose between the combatants in high school football’s annual Battle of the Bridge. When all was said and done, it was the Mt. Boucherie Bears prevailing 14-11 over the rival KSS Owls last Friday night at the Apple Bowl. After the Owls scored first on a Callum Reid field goal, Boucherie’s Tyler Geisler caught a 28yard TD pass from Josiah Joseph to make it 7-3 at the half. Geisler scored again on a 10-yard run in the third quarter to put the
Bears up 14-3. In the fourth, the Owls answered back as Reid threw a 20-yard pass for a major to Parker Simson. A two-point conversion made it a three-point game, but the Owls could get no closer. “Our defense did a pretty good job bottling up the KSS run game, which has been a strength for them for most of the season,” said Bears’ coach Mike Godwin. “We got two interceptions and two fumble recoveries on defense, but our offense failed to capitalize and in a few instances, we went out and gave the ball right
back.” Both the Owls and Bears are 1-4 on the season. In other action Friday, Lord Tweedsmuir (5-0) defeated the Rutland Voodoos (0-5) 48-16. Mitchel Walz and Kyle Hillier scored touchdowns for the Voodoos, while Cory McCoy had eight tackles on defense. “We played well at times, but didn’t put a full game together against such a powerful team,” said Rutland coach Pete McCall. “You can can’t lose the turnover battle when you are the underdog. We had two turn-
overs in the first quarter to put Tweedsmuir up 14 early. We got on track from there, but couldn’t stop (running back) Jamel Lyles from breaking loose in the second half.” This Friday, all three local squads return to action. At 4 p.m. at Rutland, the Voodoos host the Centennial Centaurs (2-2) At 6:30 p.m. at the Apple Bowl, the Owls will host W.J. Mouat (32). On Friday night, the Bears will be at Burnaby Lakes to take on St. Thomas More (4-1).
Kelowna Judo Club hauls in some provincial medals The Kelowna Judo Club was a force to be reckoned with at the B.C. Judo Championships in Abbotsford. Nine members of the local club brought home seven medals from the provincial tournament last weekend. Jake Black had an impressive couple of matches to claim gold in the boys 8 to 10 year-old div-
stCap2014_outlines.indd 1
ision, while Rajan Sandhu took silver in the same division. Ben Leatherdale had some really tough matches, securing a third place trophy in his 11-12 year, under 34 kg boys division, while Nic DeKergommeaux captured the gold in his 11-12 boys under 57 kg class. On the girl’s side, yellow belt Madelyn Ar-
tiss had some big girls to contend with for her first competition and she fought strong, only to be pinned for the loss but completely ready for the next competition knowing what to expect now. Sophie DeKergommeaux earned a second place trophy, beating out a very strong girl with an impressive Ippon (perfect throw). There were two
10/4/2013 11:21:26 AM
adults competing in the adult division, Chris Nan and Blaire Joseph. Chris, who comes from a jui jitsu background but is fairly new to judo excelled with two wins and two losses to place third. “I was most pleased with Chris’ last fight because he didn’t use his jui jitsu to win the match – he demonstrated amazing stand-up judo with a superb Ippon throw,” said KJC coach Kathy Hubble. “Blaire also whumped his opponents with a couple of nice Ippons and narrowly lost only one match by penalty.” Blaire ended up placing second and took home another nice trophy for his growing trophy-case. “Overall, I was very satisfied with everybody’s performance at this championship,” Hubble added. “They fought really well and proved that Kelowna Judo Club is a competitive club and worthy of the hard-earned medals they are bringing home. Most of all, they had the best team spirit there!” Sensei Kathy Hubble also recently returned from a competition—the All Women’s U.S. Cham-
pionships in Ohio—and she also brought home four gold medals. She entered four divisions and won all 12 of her matches by Ippon. “There were some tough girls down there and
they made me work for it, but it was one of the most well-run fantastic tournaments I was lucky to be a part of… a great warmup for World’s. Hopefully I can go over there with some confidence now.”
Kathy is heading to Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates in mid-November for the Master’s (30 and up) World Championships in which there are 129 countries participating.

On Thursday October, 17 Shirley passed away peacefully with family by her side in Kamloops, B.C. Shirley was born in Vancouver, British Columbia to Blanche and Charles MacKenzie.

Shirley will be sadly missed by her grandchildren Sean, Chris (Jenny) and Graham Martin; Taylor (Sarah) and Houston (Rosie) Kilmartin; great grandchild Clara Kilmartin…. and hopefully many more to come!

Shirley was engaged to Tom after a three week courtship, and married on March the 6th, 1954 at Christ Church Cathedral in Vancouver with an Air Cadets Honour Guard, as ushers and escorts. During school Shirley was active in grass hockey, choir, singing for the Knox Choir Operetta Group as Soprano, and figure skating. Shirley taught swimming with the Vancouver Sun Swimming Pool Programs. Mom loved to entertain her family and friends. She enjoyed fabulous adventures with Dad all across North America while serving Gyro, and the Canadian Insurance Industry, she was the consummate hostess. Shirley became an avid golfer when the family moved to Kamloops in 1965 serving as a Captain of both the Ladies Divisions of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club and Rivershore Estates. Mom loved to sit at her player piano with her grandsons singing show tunes and having great fun with her best friend Tom and family around her.

Karen Ansell passed away on October 18, 2013 at the age of 52 after a brief but courageous struggle with cancer. She is survived by her loving husband, Tim Ansell; daughter Hillary Ansell of Kelowna; son Geoffrey Ansell of Kelowna; brother Peter (Sandra) Goodall of Summerland; sisters Janet Goodall and Wendy Goodall, both of Vernon; and her mother, Beryl Goodall of Vernon. She is sadly predeceased by her father, Geoffrey Goodall. Karen was the kind of woman who left an impression on all those who met her. Her smile was dazzling, her laugh was infectious and, “Oh, that naturally curly hair!” If you needed someone to landscape your garden, choose the perfect paint colour or purge your walk-in closet she was the woman for the job. In her younger years Karen took full advantage of all life had to offer in the Okanagan. As a teenager she swam, sailed, and canoed and when she wasn’t on the water she was horseback riding or skiing. In her later years Karen even took up motorcycle riding, going on Harley adventures with her husband, Tim and their friends. Professionally, Karen chose to pursue a career in nursing. During this time she earned a reputation amongst her coworkers as a caregiver of great skill and deep compassion. Married in 1991 to Tim Ansell, Karen settled in Kelowna and turned her energies towards raising a family and pursuing her many interests including gardening, home decorating and crafts, just to name a few. Karen had an uncanny gift for being able to spot a good buy in any second hand store she entered. Many of those close to her became the happy beneficiaries of her thrift store finds. We, her family and friends, are beyond heartbroken by the loss of this generous, energetic and complex woman. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her. We would like to thank the dedicated nurses and doctors of KGH, the Cancer Clinic and Kelowna Hospice for the care and support they gave Karen and the family. A Memorial Service will be held on Sunday, October 27, 2013 at 1:00 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna, with Rev. Penny Denner and Rev. Gary Swabey officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations in Karen’s memory may be made to Cystic Fibrosis Canada, 601 - 2221 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON M4S 2B4, or Central Okanagan Hospice Association, 1456 St. Paul St., Kelowna, BC V1Y 2E6.

New restaurant adds gourmet flare to burgers STRAIGHT FROM DEHART
Maxine DeHart This week’s column is dedicated to long-time friend Barry Longeway who passed away suddenly. Our friendship goes back to Calgary and the Vanguard Trailer days. We both moved to Kelowna around the same time, the early 1970s. Personal condolences to Jolaine, his family and many friends. liderz Community House Restaurant has opened at 235 Bernard Ave. Owned and operated by young entrepreneur Darren Bates, this restaurant is a true Kelowna original, serving madeto-order gourmet burgers with a local flare. Bates will offer also offer appies, salads, soups and
S
breakfast. His vision is to provide local, fresh and great quality fare in an environment that reflects his Kelowna hometown. Sliderz will also offer online ordering and catering services for in-store pick up. Sliderz is a place where you can go and share your day and dinner at a reasonable price (sharing made easy—you get two of all entrees). It is open from 9 a.m. for breakfast until 4 a.m. on weekends for late night eats. The grand-opening is this Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m. with guests receiving a free poutine and half of all purchases going to the United Way. 99.9 SunFM will be on location. There will also be a prize draw to win a Gourmet Burger Party. Call 250763-3304; www.sliderzrestaurant.ca. Okanagan Lake has a new landmark with the newly commissioned Joe Bulach Pump Station just north of McKinley Road. The pump station was named after Joe Bulach, a long-time resi-

dent of the Glenmore Valley and a tireless advocate of the water industry in the valley. Bulach has been a trustee of the Glenmore-Ellison Improvement District (GEID) for over 40 years and the chairman of the board of trustees for more than 20 of those years. A pump station on the lake has been Bulach’s dream and that of his fellow GEID trustees for many years. Together they worked through many challenges and roadblocks to build a station to replace the older creek system supplying water from Postill Lake, built nearly 100 years ago by the early settlers of Glenmore and Ellison. The new station will supply pumped Okanagan Lake water to the majority of the district’s 15,000 residents. Jeff Robinson, associate lawyer with Rush Ihas Hardwick LLP, has joined the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce board for the remaining portion of Sally Ginter’s term after she moved away from Kelowna. Robinson has been involved with the Kelowna Chamber as an integral member of their policy committees, volunteering a significant number of hours in assisting with researching and drafting their policy submissions to the provincial and national chamber meetings and assisting with the presentation of their policy submissions at the recent Canadian Chamber AGM.

Sliderz Community House Restaurant in downtown Kelowna (2483 Main St.) owned and operated by Doug and Donna Campbell, is closing in mid-December. The Campbells invite all their customers and readers to come in and take advantage of the great discounts on all stock between now and closing. Call 250-768-2231. Lawyer Glen Johnson is bringing a new type of legal service to the Johnson Law Office in Kelowna. To make legal services more affordable and control costs, Johnson will handle most matters on an unbundled basis. Clients decide what help
they need on portions of their matter. For example, someone who wishes to sue for personal injuries will schedule a time slot and get advice on how to draft the pleading, how to serve the document and the steps involved in the course of the action. They will leave the office and handle their own file until they need further advice on how to prepare for the next step in the proceeding or if they would like representation at court, or a settlement conference. If the client is faced with a family law dispute, they may need help to bring
or contest a child custody applicant in court. They would come in for advice on the process and documents that need to be prepared and they would also be given reference to court form websites. Clients are billed only for the time they are assisted. Due to the low overhead Johnson will charge less than half the usual billing rate. He feels the high cost of fees create a barrier to access justice for an increasing number of people. With the provincial government funding for legal aid and family duty counsel being eroded, many people fall through the gap. Call 250-826-8822; glen.johnson@affordablelaw.ca. Go in and get your party look with Sears, Tuesday, Nov. 5, from 6 to 9 p.m. Tickets are only $10 and $8 can be redeemed toward your cosmetics or fragrance purchases. $2 from every ticket sold will benefit “Look Good...Feel Better.” Join them for an
evening filled with exclusive offers, complimentary personalized beauty consultations, refreshments and fun. There will be a fashion show, with lots of draws for gifts and prizes throughout the evening. Also, when you present your ticket at any cosmetics or fragrances counter, you will receive a beautiful compact mirror for free. Tickets in the cosmetics department. Call 250-860-3682.

The Be Slick - Be a Leader
Vancouver: We Day!
By Makenna Withers, Grade 9 This year the BCSLC (British Colombia Student Leadership Conference) was hosted by BCASAA at the beautiful Rock Ridge Canyon in Princeton, BC. The name of this conference was C.L.I.M.B. this stands for Challenge, Learn, Inspire, Model, Believe. Every one of these words stands for something that helped the leaders of 2013 through their four day trip at BCSLC or as we call it Be Slick. At the conference there was amazing food and inspiring speakers. The attending leaders had fun activities planned out every day. You could go zip-lining, listen to speakers, get ideas for things to improve our school, do some organised chaos, go dragon boating, hangout with your spirit group, learn super energetic chants or taking pictures. The speakers at the BCSLC conference was absolutely amazing. They inspired lots of students to make their schools a better place. Plans were created to stop bullying, do better fundraisers and help bring out the leader in every student in BC, not just the
By Annie Hein, grade 8, RMS WE day is an all-day educational event encouraging social justice held in Vancouver. Kids and teachers from all over B.C., meet to talk about social problems, and learn about programs like Free the Children created to help free children from slavery. WE Day is about collaborating to make our world a better place. For example, it’s about getting clean water, and getting schools in developing countries. WE Day was on October 17th and 18th, there were 23 people from R.M.S in attendance, 20 students, two teachers, Mr, Harbour and Madame McGuigan

ones attending the conference. There were superb speakers that had a way to keep the students attention on them. For example, Ian Tyson made jokes, which made it fun to listen and he told some of his life stories to make a connection for us. Another one of the speakers was “The Original” Mike Smith. Mike talked really fast so you had to listen because you didn’t want to miss a single detail from his fascinating stories. Many people said they wish that they could stay longer to hear more stories about leadership. When it was time for this conference to come to an end BCASAA decided that we had worked hard to learn as much as we could in the few days that we had there so they threw us a huge dance party Saturday night. Sunday morning we had our closing ceremony and watched a slide show of the amazing times we had but then it was over. In the end the conference messages of positive thinking, planning and mentorship will last a lifetime through the sharing with others.
By Matt Voykin, Grade 8 Rutland Middle School offers students amazing project based classes such as Mentorship, Leadership and Yearbook. Yearbook is an astounding and engaging class. We do a lot of awesome projects and cool assignments, like writing for the Capital News. Every day we have new things to learn and experiment with. In Yearbook class we are going to have to publish our own book representing the school’s spirit, showcas-
ing everyone in the school. We have to finish many pages for the yearbook so it is pretty busy. When there are important events, assembly’s or school teams playing, we are there capturing it all. In my opinion, Yearbook is one of the best classes because you get to write and take pictures about the amazing things that are going around the school. Also you get to meet and collaborate with a bunch of new people. All the people in Yearbook are very
and our principal, Miss Weninger. When we got to
friendly and are willing to help you with anything. It’s a place where you can be open minded and creative. Yearbook is a fun class to talk to and meet new people but you definitely need to get your work done- deadlines are really important when you are creating a major project. Overall, Yearbook is an amazing class.
Roger’s Arena in Vancouver, there were 40,000 students and some famous WE day supporters such as Hedley, Down with Webster, and Avril Lavigne. If I could go again next year I would, and I would recommend going as well. WE Day opened my eyes to a lot about our world, its problems and what I can do to help. On the bus ride up to Vancouver we laughed, joked and had fun. When we got to Vancouver it was late at night but we danced and made a music video to Roar by Katie Perry, it was fun to dance and sing with all of our district. It felt like we were one school, not a whole bunch of schools. WE are the change!

SPORTS BACK on the ice after a year of not even throwing a single rock, Kelowna’s Kevin MacKenzie is enjoying the game again.
A23 BUSINESS DAREN BATES has opened a new restaurant near the foot of Bernard Avenue in Kelowna. Sliderz Community House Restaurant will feature made-toorder burgers and much more, all with a local flare.
STAFF REPORTER
One executive director is now responsible for both Kelowna Community Food Bank and Westside Community Food Bank. The food banks recently announced plans to start working closer together. The first step toward that goal was the announcement that the food banks will share executive director Lenetta Parry. The food banks will continue to operate as separate legal entities, with their own board of directors, separate bank accounts and they will issue their own tax receipts. Food and funds raised in each community will stay in that community. “I know it’s going to be a challenge, but I think the two food banks working together will be beneficial to the clients, the communities and the donors,” said Parry. “There are lots of opportunities to share resources, leverage costs and take advantage of purchasing power.” The decision comes on
the eve of the food banks’ busiest time of year. “We’re just starting our Christmas hamper registration at both the Kelowna food bank and Westside food bank. “A lot of people struggle as they get into the colder months; both food banks are seeing an increase in need at both locations.” Parry said details are still being worked out regarding how she will divide her time between the two community food banks. The executive director has considerable experience at both Kelowna Community Food Bank and Westside Community Food Bank. She spent more than seven years in Kelowna, serving as associate executive director. Eight months ago she accepted the executive director role in West Kelowna. The ultimate goal is to alleviate chronic hunger and poverty in the Central Okanagan, said Parry. She noted this direction will help the food banks achieve that goal. “The two food banks have worked together in the

A LOCAL nurse is preparing to take part in the Rickshaw Run in India in January, 2014. The two-week journey will take Kristine MacMillan 2,500 kilometers across the country in a vehicle like the ones pictured above, with a two-stroke, single cylinder engine.
Three months from now, Kristine MacMillan will be travelling 2,500 kilometres across India in a rickshaw with a two-stroke, single cylinder engine. The Kelowna General Hospital nurse fully expects the vehicle to break down, often, but she said she’s looking forward to the adventure and chance to raise money for a good cause. “I was in India a couple years ago and I travelled pretty extensively…so I sort of know what to ex-
pect,” said MacMillan, who will be taking part in the adventure with her international friends, Jen Crane from America and Sacha Moreland from New Zealand. “But I’m sure it will be much crazier than we can prepare ourselves for.” MacMillan said she read about the Rickshaw Run on a travel blog earlier this year and she was instantly intrigued by the idea. The race is put on by The Adventurists, a UKbased company that puts on several worldwide adventures with the aim of rais-

past and tried to help each other out. “Having a shared executive director, I can manage inventory levels a little more closely so the resources can be shared between the communities so that we continue to meet our mission.” As for the additional workload, Parry said she is confident she can handle the task. “Working at a food bank requires a lot of flexibility in your schedule. The whole team works a lot of evenings and weekends. “You want to be there for your clients, particularly in times of emergencies. And that might be on a weekend, so you just have to go with what’s happening.” The Westside Community Food Bank plans to adopt some of Kelowna’s programming, including Nutrition Improvement Programs in 2014 and the Tiny Bundles program in November. “Like most stakeholders, our supporters and donors demand high returns.

The Adventurists’ website issues a warning to those considering participating in the Rickshaw Run. “Your chances of being seriously injured or dying as a result of taking part are high.

The District of West Kelowna is asking South Boucherie property owners to attend an open house to view proposed traffic calming solutions for streets in the Mission Hill and Vineyard Estates neighbourhoods. The meeting takes place at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 28, at Chief Tomat Elementary School, 3365 East Boundary Road. District staff and a traffic consultant will discuss the proposals and answer questions. An online survey will be available at districtofwestkelowna.ca for about one week after the meeting to ensure those who are unable to attend can add their input. Upgrades will be subject to council consideration and funding availability.

challenge, which will likely take about two weeks to complete. “There’s no set route…how you get between the two distances is completely up to you. We will break down a lot, unfortunately—you can’t really plan for anything. “But in those breakdowns, it kind of opens you up to the kindness of strangers; we’re really going to be at the mercy of whoever is around.” The Adventurists require teams to raise a minimum of £1,000 ($1,680 Cdn) for charity, at least £500 of which has to be donated to Cool Earth: A charity that works to save rain forests in Peru. MacMillan and her friends will give the minimum amount to Cool Earth; however, the majority of their money raised will go to New Light India: A charity that provides shelter, educa-
reational facilities, health care and legal aid for children, girls and women in one of Kolkata’s oldest red light districts. After the Rickshaw Run, MacMillan and Crane plan to travel to Kolkata to volunteer with New Light for a week or so. On Nov. 9, Little Straw Vineyards in West Kelowna will host a fundraiser for the team of nurses, from 4 to 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 (cash only), which includes a wine tasting, a glass of wine and appetizers. There will also be a silent auction. All proceeds will benefit New Light India; tickets can be reserved by e-mailing kickinitsaristyle@gmail.com.
