PLAYING IN THE MUD Board chair Moyra Baxter As the Nov. 15 municipal election approaches, there is much emphasis on who will be elected to city councils around the region. But residents will also be asked to vote in local representatives to the Central Okanagan School District’s Board of Trustees.

The board gets little or no media coverage through the year but with an annual budget of over $200 million to operate B.C.’s fifth largest school district—with 43 schools and close to 3,000 employees— the school board has an important role to play in the development of the local education system.

So in today’s Capital News Election 2014 coverage, we take a look at the education system heading into the civic election.

#Kelownavotes

Trustee candidates deserve our attention Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Central Okanagan School Board chair Moyra Baxter no longer has kids in school, having watched as her children moved through the system and onto careers in the workforce.

A retired nurse and long-time school board trustee, her kids’ graduations might have seemed like a perfect way to step away from education herself, but Baxter didn’t think about that when her last son graduated, nor when the time came to decide whether to run again this year after 18 years on the school board.

And when no one else filed nomination papers for the trustee position for Peachland, Baxter was acclaimed for her position and will be sworn in with a new board, following the Nov. 15 civic election.

“I think a lot of people say, ‘My children have left school and I don’t have an interest,’ which I just don’t agree with,” said Baxter.

“Public education is everyone’s business. We need to be involved and know what’s going on in our schools.”

Baxter has been the chair of the education board for the past two years, and for eight of her 18 years on the board, a show of faith in her by the rest of the trustees, who vote each year on who should hold the position.

During her time on the board, the Central Okanagan School District has grown to host close to 22,000 kids and in the past decade the graduation rate in the district rose from below the provincial average of 76 per cent about 10 years ago to 86 per cent

SEE KELOWNACAPNEWS. COM this past year, well above the provincial average.

According to Larry Paul, the school district secretary-treasurer, the board of trustees deserves a lot of credit for the rise in the graduation rate.

“That kind of growth doesn’t happen without the effort and support from the board of trustees,” said Paul.

“They’ve put in programs to improve our achievement, retain kids and all the different things that have happened. That’s come with the support of the people on the board.”

Getting onto the school board didn’t come easy

for Baxter.

After years of work on Parent Advisory Councils (PACs), she decided to run for school board in 1990.

The vote was so close it took two recounts until she ended up on the losing side by just a single vote.

She then re-dedicated herself to PACs. She was president of the Central Okanagan PAC as well as the B.C.-wide parent group before again running for school board in 1996 when she was elected as the Peachland representative.

Six three-year terms later, Baxter says a large portion of the public doesn’t fully understand the board’s function.

“I think there is a lack of understanding about the role of the school board,” she said.

“We are politicians just like the mayor and council. We’re elected at the same time in the civic election and yet I’m not sure people really take a great interest in the school trustee elections, which is really

unfortunate.

“It’s a huge enterprise and a lot of people don’t understand that, and don’t understand the importance of electing people who can govern at the school district level and advocate for more funding when we think we need it.”

Remember that TV show Cheers? Everyone was happy to be there. They supported each other. It was a place everyone knew your name. That is a place I want to live in. That is my kind of vision for the community.

Richard Issler, Lake Country councillor candidate

Civic election comment of the week

With 22,000 students across the Central Okanagan School District’s 43 schools, the district is the fifth largest in B.C. and showing no signs of getting any smaller.

In fact, several parts of the district are seeing enrollment increase at the youngest ages as more and more Kindergarten classes fill up with young families living in areas like the Mission and Lake Country, two areas that are over-capacity at the youngest ages.

The district has about 60 portables in use at various locations to deal with the demand at schools that have overcrowding issues. With no new schools approved for construction in the district, those portables will remain in use and be moved around to where they are needed until the provincial government agrees to fund new schools.

“Using portables is how we end up buying our time,” said Paul.

“We have a number

of portables closed right now because we opened up new space (Chute Lake Elementary, Mar Jok Elementary) but eventually, as demand catches up, we will be moving those portables to meet that demand.

It’s a reality that we have portables to fill the gap.”

Despite building plenty of local schools in the past decade, construction hasn’t kept up with the number of kids entering the school system.

When Chute Lake Elementary opened in 2010, it was at capacity right away.

In West Kelowna, the opening of Mar Jok this year has taken the pressure off the area’s other elementary schools, while in Lake Country Grade 7 students have been moved into a new annex near George Elliot High School. But one of three Lake Country elementary schools remains over-capacity and another is close to capacity, even after the move.

Currently, the district’s top priority (see box for capital plan) is a replacement for Rutland Middle School “The ministry of education runs density factors to take a look at the number of kids per square foot and we’ve always been very high on that list,” said Paul.

“We’re often the second highest in density factor and that’s why we’ve done very well over the years.”

In fact, over the past 10 years, there have been 14 major capital projects in the Central Okanagan School District, including four new schools and additions to 10 others.

And with more young families coming to

Meetings with less contentious issues draw even fewer participants.

Front and centre at that meeting, like every other, was Susan Bauhart, who was fulfilling her role as president of the Central Okanagan Teachers Association—a group that can’t turn a blind eye to the happenings in district boardrooms.

“When it comes to voting for school trustees, it’s almost like electing a boss,” she said, adding the caveat that the superintendent is actually the boss, although the

the Central Okanagan Parent Advisory Committee, hosted a forum Thursday night.

Questions gathered from teachers were given to participants and they were offered a chance to share their views on the biggest issues facing teachers.

Bauhart said the questions had to do largely with funding to public education.

“That has to be first and foremost,” she said.

“And, of course, the whole class size and composition matter is important, as is the direction the ministry is taking with 21st Century Learning, the new provincial learning plan.”

Education, she said, is changing. The old stand up in front of the class and deliver methodology is falling to the wayside, and teachers are now being set up in a facilitator type role.

As changes roll out, trustees will have influence over how that happens through various committees they’re connected to.

It’s ultimately the province, however, that holds the purse strings and money is what teachers say is most needed for local schools.

Bauhart said results

from the recent strike had some benefit to local schools, although not as much as hoped.

“Did teachers get what we wanted, absolutely not,” she said. “We made gains, but it was small.”

Funds from the education fund, which was a big part of the agreement, will amount to hiring 6.5 new teachers locally.

“They’re in the throes of figuring that out now,” said Bauhart.

Schools have identified their needs and the district will sift through the applications by the end of the week.

“We will meet with (the superintendent) to see submissions and try to get the most bang for the buck,” she said.

At that point they’ll see where the support can be put to assist higher need schools, or schools where there are challenges in terms of class composition.

“That’s one of the things that has come out of the job action, it’s a small step and a start, “ she said.

There’s also a court decision on class size and composition looming, and that decision should be released in the spring.

Name: Dave Mathieson Age: 49 Occupation: Contractor Mathieson, who is also president of the Shannon Lake Residents’ Association, says he will vote for his local school board of education trustee in this election, as he has in the past civic elections. He believes the Westside needs strong voices at the board table because it shares the board with a much larger adjacent municipality (Kelowna), which has four trustees elected to the board compared to the two who represent Peachland and West Kelowna. With young children in the school system and a wife who is active in her children’s school PAC, he feels he has a vested interest in local education issues.

always trying to find ways to deal with that part of it,” said Paul.

“You might look at a land swap or land sales to get money to buy other land. Years ago we needed to replace Rutland Elementary so we got some other pieces of property and basically traded with a developer.”

While the district continues to maneuver and position itself for possible future schools by buying and selling land, in the end it’s still up to the provincial government to decide when any schools will be built.

“That’s always the final challenge is getting the government to approve the funding for a new school,” said Paul.

“Right now our top five requests are three new schools and two replacement schools.

“If we could wave a magic wand and make those appear tomorrow they would all be full.”

••• On voting day in the municipal election, residents of the Central Okanagan will find names on the ballot for school trustee.

Paul says the school board election is often overshadowed by city or district council votes, but he says people should be paying closer attention.

“It’s very important for people to look at who’s running for trustee,” he said.

“We’re shaping the young minds that are going to be our next workforce.

“Those are the people that are going to take care of us in the future.

“The education system is very complicated and very challenging so you need to have someone that is a deep thinker, someone that shows they know the system and has a deep value on education.”

Baxter says the best trustees are the ones who are passionate about the school system and want to work within it, not use the school board as a stepping stone to other political ambitions.

“I believe if a person wants to run for public office they should say, ‘Where does my passion lie? Where do I want to put my time and effort?’” she said.

“I hope everyone who is running feels like the school system is where they should put their time and effort.

“That’s the main thing I ask of them: Are they really committed to this?” @KP_media1

#Kelownavotes ___________________________________________________________ OKANAGAN MISSION RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION

Different format adopted for candidates’ forum The Okanagan Mission Resident’s Association has typically provided a forum to meet and hear candidates during civic elections.

People have been talking about needing more opportunities for the public to hear what the candidates really stand for.

With so many candidates it is impossible to have candidates speak all on one night and still be meaningful.

And more than one community association ha expressed an interest in partaking in this event.

As a result, The Rotary Centre for the Arts has been booked for Nov 3,4,5 and 6, 7 to 10 p.m. each night.

The suggestion at this point is one night for school trustee candidates Nov. 4), two nights for councillor candidates (Nov. 3 and 5), and one night for mayoralty candidates ( Nov. 6 ).

Each Candidate would be given five minutes to open Some set questions would be in place for each candidate to answer one to two minutes Questions will be accepted from the audience.

All the candidates get equal time to answer

All the candidates can display their material if they are present on each of the four nights.

And to close out each session, each candidate will get two minutes to provide closing comments.

The Okanagan Mission Residents’ Association has agreed to be a lead

sponsor, and will ask for donations from the

ONE-MAN FORUM

Political stripes shown at UDI luncheon forum Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

The Urban Development Institute’s political forum-for-one proved to be a popular Thursday afternoon event, despite the controversy it sparked for excluding all but one of eight mayoral hopefuls.

The meeting, which was supposed to see candidates Sharon Shepherd and Coun.

Colin Basran face off on issues, drew a full room of UDI members.

And they offered thunderous applause at the end of Basran’s speech, where he laid out his idea to be a “connector” on

economic, community and leadership issues, rather than a politician.

Basran told the receptive audience he believed development to be a key aspect of a community’s health, and that he planned to be the type of leader who worked to set a business friendly tone among his peers at the council table.

He also hammered home the message that he could offer “clear, decisive leadership” and make “timely decisions.”

It’s a style he claimed to have learned from current Mayor Walter Gray, who he named as a mentor.

Basran also emphasized that Gray, as well as outgoing Coun. Andre

Blanleil, had endorsed his bid for the mayor’s seat.

In an apparent show of support, Gray was in attendance at the UDI meeting.

Mayoral candidate Mark Thompson and council hopeful Laura Thurnheer were also present, along with incumbent councillors Luke Stack, Gail Given and Mohini Singh.

It all raised the ire of mayoral candidate Mark Thompson.

In the days leading to the forum, he’d sent out letters to media and UDI heads, asking for a chance to speak at the forum as a candidate as well-qualified for the role of mayor as either Shepherd or Basran.

Thompson can boast nine years on council in Saskatoon, and said that experience raises his profile among candidates.

While Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray and city councillor Andrew Blanleil are not running for re-election, both are actively endorsing other candidates.

This past week, Gray announced his support for city council candidate Ryan Donn.

Gray described Donn as a “real people person” and someone who“fits the bill… in terms of his community activity, little things make a great community and he seems to do well with identifying with that kind of mindset.”

Regarding Basran, Blanleil said: “Colin Basran is the best candidate for mayor to continue the momentum built during this last term as a council.”

Blanleil has opted Kelowna to throw his name behind mayoral candidate Colin Basran and city council candidate Brad Sieben.

Opinion

Countering PSA test criticism To the editor: I am writing in response to the recent national, provincial and local news reports on the guidelines released Monday by the Canadian Taskforce for Preventive Healthcare recommending against the prostate specific antigen (PSA) test to screen for prostate cancer.

I firmly believe that the PSA test saved my life, and if these guidelines had been around a few years ago, I might not be here to write this letter.

I was diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer 19 years ago this month.

At the time of my diagnosis and treatment I knew nothing about prostate cancer.

Since that time I have tried to educate myself on this subject.

I started the local Prostate Cancer Support & Awareness Group 18 years ago, and still facilitate the meetings today.

I am also the executive director of the Okanagan Prostate Resource Centre Society, a unique facility to provide information on a man’s prostate diagnosis and treatment options.

Since starting the support group I believe that the vast majority of men we have seen have been diagnosed with prostate cancer because of the PSA test. However, men should not just rely on the PSA screening test alone but it has to be combined with the results of a digital rectal exam (DRE).

Prostate cancer doesn’t always have symptoms, or doesn’t show signs until the disease has advanced and if that happens there are fewer treatment options. To have the best possible outcomes and greatest treatment options, early detection is key.

Without PSA testing, how many fathers, brothers, sons, husbands and friends will be diagnosed too late? How high does the mortality rate have to go before the Task Force realizes that they made a mistake?

If there was to be a recurrence of prostate cancer following treatment, the PSA test is the best test to determine any recurrence.

FRIDAY EDITORIAL PAGE

Great market idea still lacking traction If plans for the local landscape can be counted on, Kelowna is shaping up Kathartic to be a dynamic place to build a life.

But one shouldn’t count their chickens before they hatch. Or, as KATHY the case may be, their high-rise and MICHAELS commercial developments before they’re built.

Pipe-dreams laid out on drafting paper have enticed more than one hopeful Kelowna resident to part with their cash, as has been demonstrated with any number of developments that stacked up to little more than lawsuits and a pile of dirt.

Maybe that’s why the lack of action at the BC Tree Fruit building on Clement Avenue has my Spidey Sense going haywire.

The hotly anticipated valley version of Granville Island Market was pitched to the community last year, prompting widespread enthusiasm and, on the less positive end of the spectrum, a schism between members at the Kelowna Farmers and Crafters’ market.

If my last interview with developer Gary Tebbutt is to be taken as gospel, the construction part of the

project was to get underway

by November.

Deadlines with developers always seem to be more flexible than, say, my editor’s.

But one would assume that at the very least title of the building would have transferred from BC Tree Fruits to Tebbutt in the time that’s followed. It’s certainly what a press release indicated had already happened months ago.

But that’s just not the case.

In a land title search completed last week, BC Tree Fruits is still on record as the owner of the subject properties, with the exception of the land that’s designated for a brewery.

BC Tree Fruits has said it is still working on the deal with the developer, who has yet to return my calls. And Jim Paterson, the executive director of business development at the city, said he’s heard the sale is still in the works. It’s just taking longer than anticipated.

I hope they’re right.

If not, there will be a lot of Kelowna residents

who will have to face their daydreams of urban living being dashed.

Then there are the aforementioned farming folk who turned differing ideals into a proper break-up after the idea was floated to them—how will they move ahead if this doesn’t pan out?

As for the brewery, it’s unclear what’s happening there, too. A search of City of Kelowna development records show forward momentum, in terms of navigating city paperwork anyway, ending by around May of this year.

Like I already said, it’s the one parcel of the subject property that isn’t still under the ownership of BC Tree Fruits, so that at least is good news.

The idea that the involved parties are still working on the deal is also heartening.

So, here’s hoping that the pesky business of delayed ownership is merely a blip in the road to a new, dynamic Kelowna.

Turning again to delightfully appropriate farming cliches; this city is ripe with possibility.

Cliquey city is due for a change

Fear mongering in the wake of a tragic death

To the editor: I moved to Kelowna in 2008 from Penticton, where I resided for almost my entire life.

I came here to try and gain new employment, meet new people, experience new things and try and start a new business.

Overall, I have found Kelowna to be very snobbish and cliquey. It’s no wonder there is a lot of unemployment and crime here.

Blending in seems so very difficult in general in Kelowna, and by listening to many many people over the years, I have come to this conclusion.

Snubbing and ignoring really is not the right way to go about life. If you fit this description and ignore many people in general just cause you’re already successful, why not step back and try a different approach. Engage new conversations with new people and not be so cliquey on just keeping the current friends you have had for years.

I think by making these small efforts, this city can come together as a whole that much easier and faster. This city is really lacking on fun things to do for kids and the under 50 crowd. Kelowna mostly relies on Big White and organized sports teams, which are two good things Kelowna can offer, to meet new people.

Kelowna is really lacking on “non” boring pubs that just seem to be the “same old.”

Our city really lacks in a good variety of restaurants that, for instance, a smaller city like Kamloops has to offer.

I just think it is the time for fresh changes and a sense of new and fresh here.

I feel that mayor candidate Colin Basran can bring that fresh approach come election time please elect Colin Basran.

Lets not be stuck in a rut any longer Kelowna. We really need the social aspect here to improve.

It’s time for a big change in Kelowna, for our city to finally get with the times.

N. Preen, Kelowna

To the editor: The loss of life of a reservist guard, Nathan Cirillo, in front of the National War Memorial in Ottawa, was truly a tragic event. The gunman, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, responsible for killing Nathan Cirillo, was a drug addict with a criminal record.

Zehaf-Bibeau was charged with robbery in Vancouver back in December 2011. He told the B.C. judge that he was homeless, was a drug addict and that he wanted to go to jail to help him break his drug addiction.

This man who was responsible for the death of an innocent person, and could have killed more people if he had the chance, has already been known to the authorities for almost three years, but nothing was done to help him with his drug addiction.

What is so tragic about this is that he was a walking ticking bomb since 2011 and no one took notice.

After watching Prime Minister Stephen Harper address the nation following the shooting in Ottawa, I could not help but notice how familiar his speech was, until I realized that his speech very much reminded me of fear mongering that George Bush and Barack Obama have used in their speeches on numerous occasions to help them influence the opinions of others.

Furthermore, in his speech Harper reassured Canadians that the national security agency will be strengthened and all necessary steps will be taken to identify terrorist threats so that Canadians can be kept safe in their own country.

At least now, Harper has a reason to justify the four billion dollars that is being spent on CSIS, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, which is a sister company of the American CIA. He also has another reason to send 600 of our Canadian troops to Kuwait, a mission that will be used to fight ISIS terrorist group in Syria alongside the US and British forces. In the meantime, Mr. Harper will comfortably sit in his safe office, sipping coffee and making decisions that will cost the lives of more of our Canadian military personnel. It must be really nice to have a full access to the bank account of taxpayers’ money.

We can all agree that the event in Ottawa was a horrific tragedy, but it is not a good reason for Canada to get more involved in battling ISIS extremists which will help escalate the violence overseas and on this continent even further.

ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, is a terrorist group that was funded by the US to fight the political regime in Syria. The US asked their closest allies, like Canada, to help fight the extremists because they have no military capability to do the fighting on their own.

This is obviously the boogeyman that the US has created, and therefore they should be the ones taking care of the mess they created themselves, not us.

Has anyone noticed how ridiculous the mainstream media has become? The USA has been ravaging wars in numerous countries such as Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, and now it wants to start a war in Syria. Why is it that there is absolutely nothing being said against the military aggressive stance that the US has taken against the world and it still has the support from naive nations such as Canada?

Have the people, who work in the mainstream media, been specifically trained to lie to and betray the public? We used to be a peacekeeping nation, not a militarized one.

Monika Hudecova, Kelowna

Online chatter: Below are some responses to the position that Kelowna mayoral candidate Sharon Shepherd took in not attending the Urban Development Institute luncheon on Thursday because not all the candidates for mayor were invited to participate, only her and Colin Basran. Shepherd said being inclusive is a driving force behind her personal philosophy, asking how else can we look at being an inclusive community if the leadership of this city does not value this?

Agree. The candidate is credible if they got the signatures and paid the deposit.

Reg Volk Sharon and Colin are the only 2 candidates with potential to be elected.

Early polls show this.

They should debate. It would be a waste to allow all candidates to attend as many people won’t even receive 20 votes in total.

Chris Sayles Chris Sayles, the voters decide who they are voting for, not the organizations. All the candidates should have been invited, that are seeking election as the Mayor. Sharon is correct. I would love to have heard a good debate. But this looks like a closed club. Interesting.

Brent’s Grist Mill heritage worth saving To the editor: Many residents of Kelowna have enjoyed the beautiful scenic cruise down Dilworth Drive.

It’s as if the valley opens and all of Kelowna is laid out before you. Many residents are also very grateful to have the construction completed that had traffic backed up the hill this summer.

What some people don’t know is at the bottom of the hill, where a reminder of a past way of life in the form of railway tracks cross the road, lies a mysterious sleeping giant of ingenuity and historical importance!

I’d like to introduce you to Brent’s Grist Mill! In 1871, the Okanagan was just beginning to see its first settlers. Fredrick Brent brought the first industrial enterprise to the Okanagan Valley despite the lack of resources we have available to us today. Think roads, or vehicles.

The mill stones used to grind the grain were transported from France while the machinery was transported from San Francisco.

Using a series of methods; ship, freight wagon, river steamer, borrowed homemade wagon, row boat, and horse-drawn sledge, he made it work!

Thanks to the efforts of the Central Okanagan Heritage Society, the Grist Mill, the Fleming house, and the Gervers’ milkhouse, were moved to their current location and given new foundations. That was in 2002 when I graduated high school. Twelve years later, it was my great fortune to be given the opportunity to work on the Grist Mill property and show my three children the amazing legacy of Fredrick Brent.

Once again, thanks to the efforts of Janice Henry, the Executive Director at the Central Okanagan Heritage Society, this sleeping giant is waking up! One day, when you’re cruising down Dilworth Drive, you’ll come to a road at the railway tracks, a road connecting with Clement to ease your morning commute.

Thanks to the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative, a trail will similarly cross bringing nature lovers right up to Brent’s Grist Mill Heritage Park.

The Grist Mill is currently in the care of the City of Kelowna. I sincerely hope our new city council values heritage sites so this one day project will be sooner than later.

When the Cowichan Valley School District decided it could not balance its budget in 2012, the nine-member board submitted a deficit budget to the provincial government.

Shortly thereafter, the entire board was let go, fired by the provincial government and replaced by a one member board, a superintendent from another district.

Under the B.C. School Act, it’s illegal for school boards to submit a deficit budget.

It’s a struggle every year but in the Central Okanagan, the board has always found ways

to submit a balanced budget.

“What our board has always done, long before I was on the board, is always balance the budget and very clearly keep a record of the cuts and changes we have had to make so we have that information when we meet with the minister or our MLA,” said Central Okanagan Board of Education chair Moyra Baxter.

“It’s never come up in our district because when you are sworn in as a school trustee, part of that is to uphold the School Act, so as far as I’m concerned, you have to balance the budget or you have to resign.”

Not that balancing the

budget is easy.

In its last budget, the Central Okanagan school board was tasked with cutting $4 million from its operating budget and made a variety of moves (see sidebar below), including reducing the amount of money spent on technology in the district and increasing rental fees to user groups.

Baxter said budget time is never fun.

“It’s quite frustrating because the government’s response is always ‘we’ve put more money into education this year,’” she said. “And that’s true. What I try to make people understand is that they haven’t given us less money.

“It’s just not enough money to cover the costs that have been downloaded onto us.”

This past year’s teachers’ dispute did little to improve what can be an acrimonious relationship between boards of education and the province.

In the summer of 2013, the provincial government abruptly fired the board of directors for the B.C. Public School Employer’s Association, the provincial body that represents school districts in

province-wide bargaining between teachers and school boards.

The BCPSEA typically sits at the negotiating table in contract talks with teachers.

But after the government fired the board, it appointed one trustee and, according to Baxter, basically took over negotiations with teachers.

“There’s no doubt our board was not pleased with that and to be honest the whole bargaining session was between the government and the BC Teachers’ Federation (with no input from school boards),” said Baxter. “It was very acrimonious and as a board we had very little influence on anything that happened. The decision was out of our hands and it was very frustrating. In the end, the relationships at the district level suffered and the boards of education are trying to rebuild those relationships.”

In Cowichan Valley, voters will once again elect a school board this year after its last board was fired. Five of the nine trustees in that district are running again. @KP_media1

Budget spending axed

Cuts in the school board’s most recent budget, to trim $4 million in spending: 1. Reduce technology allocation, $250,000 2. Reduce directors, assistant superintendent, superintendent discretionary budgets, $ 50,000 3. Reduce Hollywood Road/Learning Centre budgets, $ 50,000 4. Reduce budget to operations department, $120,000 5. Reduce additional resource allocation to schools, $500,000 6. Reduce per pupil funding level to schools, $1,300,000 7.Eliminate budget Increases for inflation, $180,000 8. Apply expected ministry holdback distribution from the spring of 2014, $400,000 (Any shortfall to be supplemented by 2013-2014 surplus) 9. Apply 50% of the projected ministry holdback for 2014-15, $1,200,000 10. Increase rental fees to user groups by 5%, $23,000

Culture ENTERTAINMENT: WHAT’S ON

EVENT Dig Your Neighbourhood: Mission Presented by UBCO student creative project Saturday, Nov. 1 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Capital News Centre 4105 Gordon Dr. Kelowna

The curtain is being pulled back on Kelowna’s Mission neighbourhood to showcase its past, present and future.

UBC Okanagan creative writing and visual arts students will unwrap a series of proposed projects that will provide a creative vision of Mission.

The proposals are part of the initiative Dig Your Neighbourhood (DYN)—a package of art created

by UBCO students and faculty, particularly for residents of specific neighbourhoods in Kelowna.

The public is encouraged to offer comments, suggestions, and critiques about what’s being created for the lower Mission.

OC FACULTY Presentations by Okanagan College faculty Nov. 3 to 7 Kelowna campus 1000 KLO Rd. From Pussy Riot as feminist resistance to film festivals as community builders, a variety of topics will be on the agenda as Okanagan College mounts a week of presentations and displays intended to showcase some of the scholarly and creative work of faculty and staff.

The presentations are open to the public, presented daily during the Nov. 3 to 7 week in Kelowna, and on Monday and Thursday (Nov. 3 and 6) in Penticton, and Tuesday and Wednesday (Nov. 4 and 5) in Salmon Arm. Vernon’s campus will host presentations Monday to Wednesday (Nov. 3-5).

“The concept is to shed some light on the tremendous creative work and research of some of our faculty and staff,” explained Ross Tyner, the director of library services who has helped shepherd the weeklong showcase.

While the presentations range from the esoteric

(“The ring structure of the binary icosahedral group” by mathematics and statistics professor Satoshi Tomoda) to the more popular (“Ethnic Media in Canada, Why Do They Matter?,” by sociology professor Xiaoping Li), the overarching purpose is to expose people to the breadth of research and writing that is undertaken at the college, said Beverlie Dietze, OC’s director of lLearning and teaching. S She has also helped organize the week, along with library personnel at each campus.

“Some of the people presenting will be familiar to a good portion of the public through their books or work in the community,” said Tyner.

“Others will be known to people who are familiar with their field, in areas such as mathematics, business research, earth and environmental science and computer science.”

Most of the sessions are organized around the lunch-hour to allow public attendance.

For a full schedule of presentations at the College’s four campuses visit Okanagan.bc.ca/ ocauthors2014 Another feature of the week is a display of works that Okanagan College staff have written, edited or to which they have contributed. That will be

on display at all campus libraries through the week, beginning Nov. 2 when the Kelowna campus hosts its annual Career Fair.

A special event has been organized for Nov. 5, 7 p.m., featuring University of Alberta professor and internationally-renowned author Ted Bishop, who will present a talk based on his forthcoming book, The Social Life of Ink: Culture, Wonder And Our Relationship With The Written Word.

THEATRE Cougar Annie Tales Tuesday, Nov. 18 8 p.m.

Black Box Theatre, 1375 Water St. Kelowna California-born Ada Annie Jordan settled in the Clayoquot coastal rainforest in 1915 with her first husband and three young children.

A five-acre garden that she carved out of the wilderness provided food and income throughout her long life.

The bounty on cougars supplemented her income and she earned her moniker of Cougar Annie by shooting over 70 of the animals.

Annie gave birth to eight more children in this remote location, and in fact rarely left the property until old age and blindness forced her removal to Port Alberni, where she died just shy of 97.

Katrina Adoski spent close to three years at Cougar Annie’s garden and immersing herself in the folklore surrounding the legendary pioneersettler.

Artwork by artist Alex Janvier called Exodus from the Soil, an acrylic done on linen.

KAG hosts unique exhibit of First Nations artists The current large exhibition of paintings On View and drawings created in the 1970s by seven First Nations artists is a LIZ blockbuster in the best WYLIE sense of that word.

The gallery is packed with work, mostly large and colourful; there are several paintings between six and 10 feet wide.

This is just the sort of show that most people think of when they imagine a really good exhibition of contemporary art.

Titled 7: Professional Native Indian Artists Inc, the project comes to the Kelowna Art Gallery from the MacKenzie Gallery in Regina, where it was organized by curator Michelle Lavallee, who is of Ojibway descent.

Works have been gathered from both public and private art collections in order to bring together all sorts of excellent examples of pieces by these seven artists who banded together in the 1970s to win themselves an audience.

It takes a journey of the imagination to recall and/or reconstruct the era of the mid-’70s.

But the more one can manage this, the more meaningful the achievement of the Professional Native Indian Artists Inc (PNIAI) will seem.

The art world of the 1970s was dominated by both the flat, stained, abstract canvases of the second generation New York School, and work by artists of the minimalist persuasion, which relied on process and often neutral seeming strategies.

It was certainly not a time for

emotional or personal expression in art.

Considered in this context, the PNIAI artists were bucking the trends.

Their efforts to make reference to Native metaphysics and spirituality using the vocabulary of modern art were not in keeping with the dominant discourses of the time and they struggled to find acceptance.

For present-day viewers who are now long familiar with works that depict mythical creatures in bright colours and using expressive techniques, the pieces in this exhibition will not be shocking or hard to appreciate. But this was far from the case in the time period in which they were produced.

The story of the PNIAI group of seven artists is told on text panels in the show and in the massive colour hardcover catalogue that accompanies the exhibition. The artists included are Jackson Beardy (1944-1984), Eddy Cobiness (1933-1996), Alex Janvier (born 1935), Norval Morrisseau (19322007), Daphne Odjig (b. 1919), Carl Ray (1942-1978) and Joseph Sanchez (born 1948).

The paintings and drawings are not dry nor subtle; they are strong and vibrant and bursting with life. It is inspiring to feel the vitality and ongoing traditions of the culture that produced the imagery.

The exhibition 7: Professional Native Indian Artists Inc runs at the Kelowna Art Gallery through the holiday season until Sunday, Jan. 4, 2015.

THEATRE Avenue Q Tuesday, Nov.4, 8 p.m.

Kelowna Community Theatre The Broadway musical for adults, Avenue Q is irreverently witty and outright uproarious.

Avenue Q is the musical story of Princeton (Jeremy Crittenden), a bright-eyed college graduate who arrives in New York City looking for love, a job, and his purpose in life. The only neighbourhood he can afford is the multicultural Avenue Q, where Sesame Street-esque puppets rub shoulders with humans.

Winner of the Tony Award triple crown in 2004 (Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Score),

and the 2013 Jessie Richardson Theatre Award for Outstanding Musical, Avenue Q is part felt, part flesh, and packed with songs that are surprisingly poignant and only occasionally PC. “The music is playful, the lyrics are outrageous, the script is hilarious, and the characters are delightful. Underneath its colourful fur, a big, boisterous heart beats.

Avenue Q is the perfect musical comedy…unless you are under 14 years of age,” said director Peter Jorgensen.

“I’m thrilled to be taking our hit production on tour to entertain even more audiences.”

Warning: Full puppet nudity and other vulgarities will induce laughter.

This is a puppet show.

Candidates debate variety of issues facing community Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

West Kelowna council candidates had their first opportunity as a group to make their individual pitches directly to a large group of voters Tuesday night during the first allcandidates forum of the election campaign.

The forum, which included the three mayoral candidates— incumbent Doug Findlater and challengers Stephen Johnston and Mary Mandarino— as well as 12 of the 13 candidates vying for the six councillor positions, featured a mixture of pre-set questions and questions submitted by the audience of close to 200.

Only councillor candidate, former mayor and councillor Rosalind Neis, was absent. A nurse, she had already committed to working in a small community in Northern B.C. that needed health care help during the month of October. She plans to campaign in the two weeks prior to the Nov. 15 vote when she returns.

And as expected in a young municipality that is, in the eyes of many, still establishing itself—the District of West Kelowna

was only incorporated seven years ago— the use of tax dollars particularly as they relate to infrastructure spending was a popular topic at the forum. And so was the future of downtown Westbank.

Seen as the municipality’s commercial centre, Findlater said Westbank development will continue to be a priority for him if reelected.

But Mandarino, the only candidate at the forum who directly criticized the job the current council is doing, questioned why the district has made construction of a new multi-million dollar municipal hall in the Westbank area a top priority when the most recent citizen’s survey showed the public rate the issue much lower.

“Why are we being ignored,” said Mandarino waving the citizens survey and council’s strategic plan.

The district plans to partner with a private developer who would build the “civic centre,” as it has been dubbed, which would include the district-owned new municipal hall, along with privately owned residential and

commercial buildings and a public plaza on Elliot Road.

Johnston, who said his top priority if elected would be economic development, including improvements to the Westbank Town Centre, in a bid to not only attract new business but also new families to the area.

Acknowledging a lot has been done by the district in its first seven years of existence, Johnston said after the meeting that much of it is not revenue-producing.

He said the district needs to concentrate on economic development to help attract business that will create jobs and developers who will build more attainable housing.

He said the relationship with the Westbank First Nation needs to be “repaired” after being damaged over a controversial provincial plan to swap land with the WFN was shot down following district council complaints.

But Findlater, while acknowledging damage was done to the WFN relationship as a result of the land swap controversy, said he feels it’s back on track now and pointed to the recent support the WFN gave to a plan by the province to

grant West Kelowna 11 acres of Crown land for a new municipal works yard off Bartley Road.

“Without the WFN’s support,” he said. “We would not have gotten that land.”

The future of downtown Westbank was a popular topic of discussion for many of the councillor candidates as well as the seeming lack of amenities for young people.

“We hear too often there’s nothing to do

here,” said incumbent councillor Rick de Jong, but he pointed to improvements along the lakeshore at Gellatly Bay, including the refurbishment of the former CNR Wharf and the lakeside walking trail.

Candidate Jon Peter Christoff said the need for a new skate park has been shown while fellow newcomer Tanya Lister said she has started a Go Fund Me fundraising campaign to help raise money for it.

Quality of life was raised several times as an issue that will help determine who moves to West Kelowna, and issues such as improved transit, the need for a second electricity transmission line into the area, recreational facility improvements and additions and even the possible future redesignation of the district to a city were raised as ways to help encourage people and business to move to the

West Kelowna.

The West Kelowna meeting followed an all-candidate forum conducted in a different style the night before in Kelowna.There, a “meet and greet” system was used allowing voters to approach candidates who had tables set up at the Rutland Centennial Hall.

Several members of the public who were asked about the process said they liked it because they could ask about their specific issues.

When his country calls, Dan Lambert answers.

For the second year in a row, the Kelowna Rockets’ bench boss will serve as a head coach at the World Under 17 Challenge. The 2014 version of the annual international tournament begins Saturday in Sarnia and Lambton, Ont. “Whenever you get

any chance in any fashion to represent your country, it’s an honour and there’s certainly a sense of pride in that,” Lambert said from Sarnia.

“I feel blessed that (Hockey Canada) thought of me in this way and that I’m getting another opportunity to do this.”

Under a new format this year, there are three Canadian teams with Lambert serving at the helm of Team Red. In

features teams from Russia, Sweden, Finland, U.S., and Slovakia.

Lambert’s team will face Russia Friday in a pretournament game, before officially opening the event on Sunday against Slovakia.

During Lambert’s absence in Kelowna, a pair of first-year WHL coaches will handle the reins for the Rockets.

Assistant Kris Mallette has been elevated to interim head coach, while goaltending coach Travis Crickard steps up to first assistant.

The duo kicked off its six-game, 10-day stint on Thursday night in Portland against the Winterhawks.

For Mallette, it’s an opportunity he’s grateful to be getting so early in his major junior coaching career. “Obviously, it’s an honour to be taking over, even if it is for a fairly short period of time,” said Mallette, 35.

“It’s another step in the progression of ultimately where I want to be as a coach. It’s a lot of hockey in a short time and a chance for Travis and I to show we’re capable. This is what we want to do and what we’re striving for in the game.”

Mallette is filling the same role Lambert did for a couple of years in Kelowna when thenhead coach Ryan Huska departed to work with

Stick skills have Warriors Liam Blackburn on top Warren Henderson whenderson@kelowncapnews.com

expectations.

“I guess it’s caught me a little by surprise,” said Blackburn, 18, who had 43 points last season with West Kelowna. “I wanted to come in and be one of the top guys here, but to be at the top of the league, I can’t really say I thought that would happen.

“But it’s nice to be there and I guess it’s a reward for the work I’ve put in.”

Warriors’ head coach and GM Rylan Ferster knew Blackburn would be

a key contributor on the scoresheet this season.

In Blackburn’s varied skill set, Ferster said nothing stands out more than his adeptness with the puck.

“His vision is very good and so is his work ethic,” said Ferster. “But what

really sets him apart is that he’s got such a good stick…maybe the best I’ve seen as a coach. It’s maybe not the quickest, but he’s able to handle the puck in tight quarters and it just seems to stay on his stick.

“He makes players

around him better.”

Blackburn’s abilities have also caught the eye of the University of New Hampshire program. He has committed to UNH and will suit up for the Wildcats in either the fall of 2015 or 2016.

future, Blackburn and the Warriors will take on the SilverBacks in a home-and-home set this weekend, beginning Friday in Salmon Arm. The clubs will meet again Saturday at Royal LePage Place. Face off is 7 p.m.

Going into the crowded corner of a hockey rink and emerging with the puck on his stick is Liam Blackburn’s speciality.

It’s also a big reason the West Kelowna Warriors’ play-making forward leads the B.C. Hockey League in points so far this season.

“I like to spend 95 per cent of my time in the corners, I love battling, winning pucks and then

finding my teammates,” said Blackburn. “I feel a bit like a quarterback…it’s a role I’m happy with.”

Through 14 games it seems to be working, as the 5-foot-10, 167-pound centre from Prince George is averaging an even two points per game—eight goals and 20 assists.

In his sophomore season in the BCHL, Blackburn expected his offensive game to take a step forward—but leading the league was even a notch above his

Owls golden at WolfPack tourney After one short week out of the No. 1 slot, the Kelowna Owls are back on top of the rankings in B.C. AAA high school boys volleyball.

The Owls took care of business last weekend at the Thompson Rivers Wolfpack senior boys tournament in Kamloops.

Top-ranked KSS twice defeated Earl Marriot Secondary by 2-0 scores, once in pool play and again in the playoffs. Earl Marriot was ranked No. 1 last week.

In the championship final on Saturday, the Owls were in control throughout the match, closing out Fraser Heights 2-0 in one of their best performances of the season.

“It was pretty satisfying, a great weekend of volleyball for the guys,” said KSS coach Mike Sodaro. “The boys really stepped up on Saturday and played

HIGH SCHOOL SOCCER

MICHELLE SCHUELER/CONTRIBUTOR

Mustangs claim valley soccer title

The Okanagan Mission Secondary volleyball team celebrates the goldmedal at the Last Spike senior girls tournament in Revelstoke.

The Immaculata Mustangs gained a measure of revenge with a 1-0 win over St. Ann’s last week in the final of the Okanagan A boys soccer championship.

A year earlier, the same Kamloops school defeated the Mustangs in the valley final.

In this fall’s championship game Friday at Immaculta, the Mustangs emerged with a hard-fought 1-0 win.

Lachlan Wallace’s goal

late in the game was all the offence Immaculata would need. Mustangs goalkeeper Luke Jones and the Mustangs defence held firm the rest of the way to secure valley gold.

“Overall the boys fought hard on their way to winning the championship,” said Mustangs coach Paul Freire.

“Essentially it became a war of attrition and in the end our guys found

a little extra in the gas tank.”

The Mustangs opened the tournament with a 6-1 win over Vernon Christian School, with Lucas Hicklin scoring twice.

In Game 2, Lachlan Wallace tallied twice in a 5-1 victory over Clearwater.

In the final pool game,

one of their toughest games of the weekend, saw Immaculata defeat Aberdeen Hall in shootout 1-0 (5-4).

The Mustangs, St. Ann’s, third-place KCS Knights and Aberdeen Hall will represent the valley at the B.C. boys provincial A soccer championship, Nov. 6 to 8 in Nakusp.

UBCO ATHLETICS

Improved times for Heat cross-country runners Both the UBC Okanagan women’s and men’s teams improved their performances over last year at the B.C. Athletics Cross Country Championships.

Because no other schools from PACWEST ran in the event last weekend in Abbotsford, there were no team placings or scores for Heat teams.

On an individual basis,

High school football

Michelle Blackburne was tops for the UBCO women, finishing the senior 6-kilometre race in 23:32.10 for 20th overall.

Other Heat finishers were: Trisha-Lee Metro (24:31.51; 25th), Shayna Quibell (24:38.32, 26th) and Alea Stockton (24:42.38, 27th) crossed the line packed in tightly to all count as scorers.

Only seconds behind the top four was Annelies

Wentzel (25:07.88, 28th) and Julianna Neudorf (25:16.99, 29th) as displacers.

Heat coach Nikki Reiter indicated she is happy with the team’s progress, “All of the women who raced this course last year improved upon their previous times, which is great to see when the course conditions were actually worse this year.”

Big improvements were

also seen on the men’s side, with much faster times seen compared to last year’s cohort.

Leading the men’s team in the senior 10-kilometre race was Erik Paulsen (35:09.47; 23rd) with Scott Lyons (35:16.93; 24th) and Mackenzie Wong (35:19.65; 25th) not far behind. Alex Hansen (35:58.82; 28th) rounded out the top four in the race.

Running in the Master’s Division (over 35 years) race and also competing for UBC Okanagan as a graduate student was Colin Wallace, who went 27:24.46 for first place in the 35-39 age category of the eight-km race. Cael Warner competed in the Junior Division (16-19 years) and finished 13th in a competitive field in 22:55.31 at a length of seven kilometres.

Simson added this third TD of the day in the second half, before Callum Reid connected with Campbell on a 34yard pass for the Owls final score of the day.

On defense, Simson

In other action Friday, the Bears saw their twogame win streak end in a 28-18 loss at the Apple Bowl to Lord Tweedsmuir

On Saturday, the No. 1 ranked Terry Fox Ravens defeated the Rutland Voodoos 72-0. This Friday at 6:30 p.m., the Voodoos (0-5) will look for their first when they battle Centennial at CNC.

The best-known figure skater ever to come out of Kelowna no longer competes on the ice.

Still, four years after retiring from the sport, Craig Buntin remains one of its most passionate advocates.

Buntin, 34, is back in his hometown this week for Skate Canada International, a three-day competition at Prospera Place featuring many of the world’s top skaters.

Buntin, who is serving as the event’s athlete ambassador, said skating fans in Kelowna are in for a treat.

“For the fans here to see the skating live, to see the speed of these pairs coming out of the corner into these big lifts…it’s a chance to catch the bug,” said Buntin, who lives in Montreal.

“If you’ve watched the world championships or the Olympics, this is

Among the 56 competitors from 12 countries are four of Canada’s most renowned skaters—Olympic team silver medalists and world pairs bronze medalists Meagan Duhamel and

Eric Radford; and world ice dance silver medalists Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje.

While Buntin—a former Olympian and Canadian silver medalist in pairs—won’t be competing this weekend, he will put his own stamp on the event.

Buntin has designed a computer program called VeriSkate which tracks and analyzes

the movements and tendencies of skaters like never before.

VeriSkate will be used for the first time at Skate Canada International.

“Things like who’s the fastest skater, who’s covering the most ice… suddenly for the first time in the history of the sport we’re actually going to be showing that at this event,” said Buntin. “From a skater’s perspective this has the ability to totally change an athlete’s ability to train and compete.”

As for the residual impacts of the event, Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray said Skate Canada International is expected to generate about $4 million in economic spinoffs for the city.

CTV and TSN will be providing live television coverage of the event throughout the weekend.

Learning to live with diabetes Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

In Sebastien Sasseville’s world, there truly are no limitations.

Since being diagnosed with the type 1 diabetes in 2002, the 35-year-old Quebec City man has climbed Mt. Everest, run the Sahara Race in Egypt, and earned a degree at Laval University.

Now, Sasseville is in the process of running across Canada to raise both awareness and funds for the disease. The 7,200 kilometre journey—called Outrun Diabetes— began Feb. 2 in St. John’s, Nfld. and if all goes as planned, Sasseville will arrive in Vancouver on World Diabetes Day, Nov. 14.

Sasseville, who runs about 40 km per day, was at Capri Valley Lanes in Kelowna on Sunday share his experiences and deliver a positive message to all type 1 diabetics.

“I’m doing this to raise

Sebastien Sasseville is running across Canada to raise awareness for type 1 diabetes. awareness of diabetes, to empower and inspire people by doing something positive,” said Sasseville, who works as a motivational speaker. “I want to let them know there are no limitations. You don’t

have to climb Everest or run across Canada, but if you want to be a doctor or be successful in any walk of life, you can do it.

“Diabetes is a very serious and complicated thing, but it can be managed and you can follow your dreams. Don’t let diabetes stop you from focusing on your goals.”

Sasseville is among some three million Canadians who live with diabetes. About 100 people turned out to hear Sasseville speak at Sunday’s event, which was hosted by the local chapter of JDRF (formerly Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation).

“It will be a process before type 1 diabetes is eliminated, so I think what (Sebastien’s) message is, is that he wants people to be empowered by it,” said Pam Prentice, manager of fundraising and development for JDRF in Kelowna. For more information visit the website outrundiabetes.ca.

Slick pitchman needed for school board The school board is kind of a bargain for $250,000.

It might sound like a lot of out-of-pocket expense for the governance of a crew you hear little about, but when one considers they manage a $220 million budget, making the seven trustees worth 0.1 per cent of the cost to run local schools, to me their input reads: Take a little, give a lot.

Originally when I set out to write this column, crunch a few numbers, compare how many people are voting for trustee to city councillor and decide whether the board is, in fact, relevant to the electorate, I was leaning the other way.

The board of education seemed a bit useless, given the fact they have no control over teachers’ contracts—the dominant education issue, if measured by volume, not logic.

I was wrong, but for good reason.

The pie-in-the-sky line on any elected representative is that he or she represents the people, the community, and this is where arguments to do away with trustees or individual school boards begin.

Look at the vote breakdown and it’s hard to buy the representation line.

On average, the trustees pull down about a third of the votes cast for city councillors in the Central Okanagan.

Only about a third of us even bother to vote for city councillors, so it’s absolutely absurd to argue any of these people reflect the electorate they represent.

In Kelowna, the highest number of votes a school trustee could muster last round was 10,000. There are 120,000 people here (B.C. Stats, 2013).

Teresa Rezansoff, the trustee who currently heads the B.C. Trustees’ Association, is big on this representation argument.

“These are the people you can run into in the grocery store,” she told me. I don’t think I’ve run into a single politician buying eggs, so while it makes sense in her hometown of Grand Forks, not so in a larger city.

When she started

Ask the trustees’ association what they do and they’ll talk about vision, policy and planning—which is true.

From a larger vision perspective, the boards are currently tasked with setting a direction so places like Powell River, a decidedly outdoor-oriented Coastal community, has an outdoor and ecological learning centre. Kelowna,

But much of their real value is in their ability to advocate, without having a direct financial stake in the outcome—ie. a paycheque.

An $18,000 salary is a sideline by any standard and, whether they articulate it well or demonstrate their involvement enough publicly, we do get a lot of bang for our buck.

Last year, a PanCanadian Study of School District Governance was published by three academics in collaboration with the Canadian School Boards Association.

It found school boards increasingly suffer from bad press and have had their budgets and responsibilities severely curtailed by ministries of education, making their democratic role seem less relevant.

Rather than wag a finger at the higher level of government or the media, however, it pointed out conflict between levels of government is healthy in a democracy and put the onus back on school districts, and their elected representatives, to demonstrate how relevant boards of

education truly are to the school system and society in general.

It recommended finding ways to get in front of the general public on a routine basis and recruit younger people into those trustee positions.

It recommended more clearly defining the trustee role for the general public and routinely publicizing it for the average voter so he or she knows why to vote— genius! It recommended formalizing research alliances and adding more professional development to the trustee docket, and finding ways to engage the public in a dialogue about what’s needed in education.

In other words, modernize and demonstrate that you are relevant and the people will vote.

Makes sense to me. I recommend listening to the research, a decidedly

educated approach.

TRAVEL WADLOPEN WILL GET YOU DIRTY

Play in the mud on Netherland’s north coast Andrea Kitay We’d been trudging across the mud flats at low tide for about 20 minutes with only the gentle crunch of footsteps when a loud sucking sound sliced the air.

In almost perfect unison I lurched forward into the oyster-colored mud with a yip.

Elbows forward and hands skyward to protect an assortment of cameras, a rush of squishy, sulfury mud met me halfway, cushioning my fall and releasing fumes that would knock over a camel.

“Good Lord, what is that stench?” muttered my daughter, grasping at my hands for the cameras.

“A little help, please?”

I groaned. Stuck like an unbalanced tripod in the mud, I felt the sock on my right foot dangling from my toes, which were now missing a boot.

I’d proudly dragged my heavy duty, Maine-built mud boots to the ends of the earth for this little encounter with nature, and apparently the Dutch wetlands wished to keep one.

“You’ll have to lace up tighter,” one of our guides, Nico, implored.

“The shells will destroy your feet.”

It turns out a better footwear choice for a day of mud walking, or wadlopen, in Dutch, would have been dive booties. But in no mood to be barefoot for a trek to nowhere, I hitched up my sock and plied my boot from the muck, shoving my foot deep into its gloppy depths.

So much for staying dry.

Wadlopen is a

Rows of logs form the boundaries of old dikes used to gain land from the shallow sea. venerable past time in the Wadden Sea shallows stretching between the mainland and the Frisian Islands on Holland’s north coast, where, twice a day at low tide, both sand and mudflats are exposed.

This makes the area ripe for tromping around in and those inventive Dutch have parlayed it into a wet, sloppy day trip.

Billed as an ecotour-style adventure called “The Ramble” by the outfitter Djikstra Wadlooptochten, our meet-up point was the picturesque village of Pieterburen.

Here, we found our guides Johan and Nico

huddled over a map plotting the day’s route and tides tables.

Just two of dozens of guides leading both halfand full-day trips out onto the mud flats, they are a necessity required by the Dutch government for what finally seems obvious once we’re out on the sea bed: Dense fog, strong tidal currents and disorientation that pose a potential threat to newbies.

Less than a mile from the dike where we start hiking, the sleepy village is wadlopen’s unofficial welcome wagon.

In fact, a dizzying array of supporting

activities have sprung up around the simple act of playing in the mud.

From the Apres-wadlopen bar to a movie of the Wadden Sea with apple pie to a visit to the seal sanctuary, the town has demonstrated a surprising level of capitalism while sustaining a typically Dutch low-key profile.

Home base was the nearby university town of Groningen (pronounced Grun’n), the cultural heart of this northern province with the same name.

Here, the cafe culture is as vibrant as any in more celebrated climes further south. Bikes rule the road, and equal numbers

of university students as swanky seniors wile away the afternoon sipping macchiatos and peoplewatching in sprawling outdoor cafes.

In a spectacular show of ocean-to-table, we lingered over a delightful meal of the same crab and mussels we’d soon be stepping around at the hip little restaurant Brusells Lof. Wadlopen as an organized activity began tenuously, with exploratory expeditions to the Frisian Islands beginning in the late 1930’s. But it is arguably Hylke Dijkstra’s pioneering 12-mile winter trek of

1963 across the ice to Schiermonnikoog that established it as a bona fide Dutch pastime.

Today, roughly 35,000 people make either the half-day nature walk or the full day trek to the islands.

It would take more than half a century from that first exploratory walk before the Wadden Sea would be recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2009, a designation that confirms its vital role as one of the world’s largest and most important migratory bird areas.

With 10 million to 12 million birds passing

through annually, roughly six million can be present at the same time on the vast stretch of water whose boundaries bump the coasts of Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands.

Our little joust with nature would take us across slushy mud flats, over sand banks teeming with drying shells and through three-foot deep gullies, with no goal other than a day tromping in the mud.

Despite my early fumble, the hike out from the relatively new dike protecting the mainland

On the long tromp back, I mused over the vast, unrelenting barrenness of the landscape.

I’d been close to the end of the world, but this felt more like it.

There was something wonderfully calm about it all, and the arrival of a bevy of curious seals, bobbing and dipping as they followed us at a distance, became a pleasant distraction.

The clouds dissipated while I wasn’t looking, leaving a faded blue stretching down to the horizon.

While the autumn sun warmed my nowuncovered arms, the tepid 64-degree water that originated in the frigid

from powerful tidal surges was pleasant, with Johan stopping here and there to point out yet another ecological wonder on ground littered with mussels, oysters and crabs.

It turns out the extreme environment has created conditions unique enough to allow edible plants such as sea lavender and sea aster to grow in abundance in the shoreline’s grassy banks.

According to Johan, these are not ordinary garden plants.

The adaptation to a salt water environment makes them unsuitable for a garden, much the way a garden plant wouldn’t tolerate the harsh conditions of the Wadden seashore.

It took about an hour to lose the view of the dike.

Spinning in a 360-degree circle, I realized how disorienting the shallows would be with no guide. In fact, if it weren’t for the deep footprints we left behind there were no reference points to orient one’s self.

Within a few hours they, too, would be gone.

A shiny mirage hovered about 50 yards in front of me and out of reach for most of the hike, adding to a sense of otherworldliness.

Not a fan of panic, I plotted worst-case scenarios as I marched, landing on the simple strategy of disgorging most of my clothes and gear for the float back to shore.

MUD FROM A28

The Wadden Sea at low tide makes for a long, sloppy day of playing in the mud.

After a few miles, we began a wide sweep that would briefly take us in view of the German island Borkum, when Johan piped up.

“Look!” he fairly shouted, shoving his enormous walking stick towards a tiny rivulet in the mud. “What do you see?”

Indeed, the small but insistent stream of water was working its way back in the opposite direction, pushing through the mud in what would turn into

a sort of mini-delta over the five minutes we stood chattering over it.

“This is nature’s notice the tide has turned,” Johan told us excitedly, as if this were a new revelation for him also.

As we stood gaping admiringly at this miraculous bit of

news, Johan explained that where we stood would not only be well submerged in several hours time, but it would also be deep enough for small fishing boats to harvest the small shrimp lurking in the gullies around us.

St. Moritz: Where the world’s wealthy go for a winter vacation John Bordsen Contributor

Yves Gardiol is general manager of Badrutt’s Palace Hotel (badruttspalace.com), the famous resort in St. Moritz, Switzerland.

Gardiol, a 53-yearold native of Lausanne, Switzerland, has been at the Palace for a decade.

Question: How about a little background about the hotel?

Answer: St. Moritz is in the Swiss Alps, and this year marks 150 years of winter sports here; St. Moritz has hosted the Olympics twice: 1928 and 1948. The hotel was built in 1896 as a winter destination, and the Palace itself has always been the place to be for celebrities and rich people of the world.

Q. Alfred Hitchcock was a regular guest, and his 1934 suspense movie, “The Man Who Knew Too Much,” opens on the

Up to

slopes there. Does the hotel look the same?

A. It looks today like it was in the film’s beginning—just improved with an outside facelift of balconies and windows.

Main hall improvements involve electricity. But if you looked at pictures then and now, you’d see very few differences. We now have 157 rooms and suites.

Q. Look out your office window right now. What do you see?

A. I see the mountain called Muottas Muragl, which goes up to 2,545 meters (about 8,349 feet); there’s a cable car that goes up there. In summer it’s nice for walks to see the flowers in the mountain. In winter, you can sledge down—it’s not for skiing.

The Palace has two seasons: Four months in winter, three months in summer. We close at other times. There are no activities and the

There are a lot of events when we’re open mid-June to midSeptember. At the beginning of September we organized a firsttime music festival with Mozart as the theme. Last winter we organized a big concert with Michael Bolton. We had Crazy Horse _ the adult cabaret from Paris. The year before, we had theater, with an opera evening.

Q. All this skiing and entertainment—in what is essentially a little town.

Where does everyone live?

A. There are 6,000

people who live here.

In winter, during peak season, the whole valley rises to 100,000 people.

Many stay in the next village, which is six kilometres from here.

That’s where I live. I drive to work but it’s possible to come by bus or train.

Many houses and apartments are only occupied during the season, and people come for one or two months.

They otherwise live in Zurich (Switzerland), Munich (Germany) or Milan (Italy).

Q. I’ve read there are more than 300 days of sunshine a year. True?

A. They say St. Moritz gets 322 days of sunshine, but maybe that’s a little exaggerated.

It’s true we have a great deal, but this summer was not exactly the case; there was a large amount of rain in Europe. Normally there’s a lot of snow early in the winter season, then there’s sun. Q. The Palace has always been popular with the jet set. What’s it like dealing with celebs?

A. We know what they want and try to make their visit as easy and cozy as possible. That’s not a problem for us. They come back because we know they know this.

Scenic splendour is a constant distraction on The wagon-like body of Prius v is a little longer and your right (heading south), but there’s a steep 200 taller than a regular Prius. There’s more room for rear feet drop in some stretches, an unforgiving rock face passengers and there’s an impressive 58 per cent on the left and lots of sharp bends.

The gas engine is now through the flat fertile planes of the Skagit Valley. It’s a belt-less 1.8-litre Atkinson-cycle four-cylinder. On a dramatic change in landscape, the sky is suddenly the electric side of the hybrid equation, the inverter, bigger and the road ahead is long and straight as far motor and transaxle are smaller and lighter than the you can see.

An interesting historical footnote, at one time (in the late 19th century, Edison was a community of Utopian Socialists known as the Equality Colony).

Not sure if I’ll ever get completely comfortable with the central instrument panel in a Prius. A switch button on the dash that changed kilometres to miles, however, was brilliantly simple and perfect for this trip. My biggest beef with the Prius v was cabin road noise at high speeds. Depending on the highway surface it can be so loud that it’s hard to converse with a front passenger.

Bigger and better, the Prius v offers the functionality and versatility of a wagon, for a relatively small price premium. Toyota’s tried and trusted Hybrid Synergy Drive system offers outstanding fuel economy and surprisingly good power, when needed.

Driving all 3,945 kilometres of the famous Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica has always been on my bucket list.

However, I’m hoping that after enduring a week on that often rocky and rough road that it will not be the last of my ever expanding must-do-before-I-die list!

was eight days with my fellow Brit. Truth is neither of us will spoil another couple, well at least for four days.

I’m currently watching as many episodes of the 1960s’ era Route 66 TV series as I can and digesting every story about music inspired by the highway. Of course, I’m making a compilation tape, I mean picking a playlist for my generic MP3 player.

I will be sharing my adventures with Driveway readers during and after the trip. Blogging begins on drivewaybc.ca this coming weekend and a full report will appear in print and online in late November.

between 450 and 600 kilometres, getting us to California by the evening of Saturday, November 9.

We’ll pass through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.

Along the way, we will visit many locations and attractions made famous through Hollywood and many a TV documentary, not to mention dozens of life-on-the-road books.

Personally, I’m looking forward to spotting the roadside ghost towns that inspired the Cars movies, who said they’re just for kids? And in New Mexico and Arizona my eyes will be scanning for locations featured in the Breaking Bad TV series.

We’re camping under the stars in the Grand Canyon. Sheesh! The last time I was under canvas was about 25 years ago when I accompanied my son Niall to his Beaver camp. An overnight stay at the El Travatore Motel, in Bullhead City, AZ, where we pick a theme room, quickly follows that chill night. Elvis Presley or Marilyn Monroe? Wonder if this drive was on their bucket list.

The organizers suggested we swap partners part way across before fights break out. My drive buddy for four days will be Toronto Star scribe Mark Richardson. Second prize

An electric luxury car designed to avert range anxiety It is often lamented that many of the concept cars at the international auto shows never see the light of day as production vehicles.

Well, the Cadillac ELR looks every bit like a futuristic concept and it is available today.

This car is something to see, especially in person, with sweeping lines and aggressive front lights, like a spaceship.

In fact, it won the 2013 Eyes on Design Award at the North American International Auto Show, an award judged by all of the heads of design form each automaker in attendance…that’s some judging panel At first glance it has more than a passing resemblance to the Cadillac CTS Coupe but underneath is a very different platform.

Looks This is essentially the Chevrolet Volt electric car, morphed into a Cadillac, with two fewer doors. Taking what Cadillac

If you are in the market for a two door futuristic ready to drive concept car, this one is very well executed; it turns heads everywhere it goes.

Zack Spencer

learned from the CTS coupe and transplanting that look onto an electric car has made the ELR a high-end electric alternative, to say a Tesla. The two-door design has hidden electronic door handles that release by touching a pad in-

side the recessed door handle. Not to worry, there is a redundant mechanical mechanism. The 20-inch wheels have specially designed tires for efficiency and handling. The trunk is a good size for a small sporty coupe, but it is the front where all the jewelry is showcased. The headlamps are stunning to see during the day or at night. The vertical daytime running light are Cadillac’s signature now and they look fantastic. The LED headlamps along with rear LED lights make this a true luxury product.

Inside The same futuristic and luxury approach continues on the inside. The materials used are spectacular, rich and welcoming. Cadillac combines alcantara (faux suede), chrome, wood, hand cut and sown leather seats and available carbon fibre. This combination of colours and textures,

combined with the sweeping shape is first rate. This interior can stand on its own with any other luxury brand. Cadillac uses the same Cue infotainment and communications system throughout its line of products and it features a rich graphics package with cutting edge connectivity. But this car isn’t without fault. The touch sensitive centre console isn’t for everyone; some might prefer traditional knobs and buttons and the high gloss surfaces can show dirt quickly.

Then there is the back seat or lack of. This isn’t a four-seat car but a two-seater with storage for a gym bag. Why this has back seats is a mystery.

Drive The Chevrolet Volt is the best selling electric car in Canada, not the Tesla or the Nissan LEAF. People have come to realize that the combination of electric range and a gasoline-extending generator

Cadillac CTS Coupe is a good compromise; it isn’t all electric or nothing. The ELR, just like the Volt it is based on, is plugged in and charged, usually overnight. It takes more than 12-hours on a typical 120V plug to get the job done or about five hours on a more powerful 240V system.

Once charged, the car runs on electricity for about 65 km before the gasoline extender kicks in to allow the driver to run up to 480km, or longer, if the car is refueled. The 16.5 kWh lithium-ion battery pack and the electric motor puts out 295 lb.-ft of torque to the front wheels, similar power to the Cadillac 3.6-litre gasoline engine used in other products.

One way to extend the electric range is to use regenerative braking to help recharge the battery. The paddle shifters behind the steering wheel do that. The driver can use these in combination with the regular brake to modulate driving.

It takes practice but is kind of fun.

This is a very limited market, a twodoor sporty looking Cadillac that is also electric. If they made this into a sexy 4-door, the ELR would have more takers.

la has fallen short on. On the flipside, Tesla has a huge available electric range without the aid of a gasoline engine. So the market for the ELR is limited.

Forgettable movie clunkers from page 2

Off,” 1979 Alfa Romeo Alfetta 2000 Sport Sedan: Ferris Bueller’s long-suffering best friend Cameron Frye “drove” this faded and rusty Alfa Romeo sedan, sort of anyway. He never really got it started. Best diagnosis from our Alfa Romeo fans is the failure of something called a thermostatic actuator. We’re not making that up. I swear.

2. “The Big Lebowski,” 1973 Ford Gran Torino: Jeff Bridges’ character Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski is a man that the narrator opined “might be the laziest man in Los Angeles County, which would place him high in the running for laziest man worldwide.”

He’s also a man who wrote a check in the amount of 69 cents for a carton of half and half and he drives a 1973 Ford Torino that was evidently some sort of shade of white, yellow, beige or gold prior to acquiring its as-filmed “patina” of rust, dents and primer spots.

3. “Body Heat,” 1964 Corvette: William Hurt plays an easily duped ambulance chaser of a Florida lawyer in this neo-noir classic.

In addition to the fact that Kathleen Turner delivered a star-making performance in the film, we love it for the faded and

disheveled but totally original Riverside Red ’64 Corvette convertible that Hurt’s character drives.

4. “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,” 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo: Jim Carey’s character “Ace Ventura” obviously cares more about the animals he is searching for than the car he is driving.

Things go south almost immediately for Ace as his Monte Carlo is pummeled shortly after the opening credits by an angry man with a baseball bat.

He is forced to spend the rest of the movie driving around with his head hanging out of the window, much like his canine companions.

5. Joe Dirt,” 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona: David Spade’s eponymous character drives a beat-to-hell ’69 Dodge Daytona, which probably gave at least a few MOPAR enthusiasts a stroke mid-movie.

Like Mr. Dirt’s mullet, the Daytona is all business up front, party in the back, featuring an ultra-aerodynamic nose cone and a rear wing of comical proportions.

Booming trail blazed for accessory business It’s fitting that there should be such a thing as a Jeep Trailblazer. But it’s not the aforementioned vehicle that I’m writing about today, rather the accessory range that adorn so many Jeeps today. The truth is that Jeep trailblazed what is now a booming accessory business for all makes and models of trucks. Smittybilt has been around for years and it has a lot to offer in the way of Jeep add-ons. An XRC front bumper is available to fit Jeeps from 19762014, manufactured from 3/16” cold roll steel. The XRC bumper is formed to manouevre your Jeep over obstacles such as those large boulders that seem to jump out at you at every turn. There is a built in winch plate that can accept

up to a 10,000lb winch.

Painted in a matte black powder coated finish and features a five year warranty. Cost is $515.99. There is also a matching rear

bumper that has a built in tire carrier. This carrier can handle up to a 37” tall tire and is also matte black.

It has a class three trailer hitch and d-ring mounts welded inside and out.

This costs $337.79. XRC rock sliders are ideal for rock crawling; they protect the side of your Jeep from unwanted body damage and cost $368.59. Armor corner guards provide a larger wheel well opening and feature a fender flare and fuel filler door. SRC tubular doors replace the factory doors and bolt up to the factory door hinges, a very easy install. $368.

Roof racks are another popular item for Jeeps especially with the limited space. The SRC rack has removable cross bars for easy soft or hard top re-

movable and is designed to work with Thule or Yakima roof rack accessories. It can hold up to 300 lbs and its contoured design flows well with the jeeps body lines. The cost is $429.

Interior soft good items are available to attach to the factory roll-cage and can hold a variety of items such as cellphones, flashlights, fire extinguishers, and even a bottle of water. Smittybilt also offers a centre console that has a security compartment and additional cup holders. This console is $110.00.There is a full line of trail equipment available. A clinometer that can be mounted on the dash and show you what angle you are on, side to side and front to back. It features a cool picture of a jeep in the dials. Cost is $24.59.

A Trail jack is a very useful item to take with you into the back country. It is rated up to 4660 lbs and is constructed of solid cast steel that is powder coated. $92.19. Recovery straps are another valuable item to have and are available in 2x20, 2x30, and 3x30 feet lengths. They range

Ford has produced few cars that could be characterized as weird.

1982-85 Ford Escort EXP: The EXP (along with its twin the Mercury Lynx LN-7) was simply bizarre.

It was supposed to be a sporty two-seater Rob Sass version of the Escort compact, but the styling was incomprehensible. It was touted as a modern, affordable and efficient version of the concept that brought the car world the classic two-seater 1955-57 Thunderbird.

But where the T-Bird was graceful and elegant, the EXP was just odd, and the squinty, hung-over look to the headlight treatment was particularly strange.

1963 Mercury Monterey Breezeway: The Monterey and its predecessor, the Turnpike Cruiser, were standard 1950s and ‘60s full-size Ford Motor Company products, but it was the backward-slanted rear roofline and a rear window that lowered for ventilation that added a truly strange look to the

Autocross 101- Training with UBC Sports Car Club Octane-fuelled learning crosses age and gender boundaries.

With comments such as “amazingly passionate” and “best prof ever” peppered throughout the reviews on Rate my Professor, UBC’s physics/ engineering Prof Dr. Andre Marziali clearly scores top marks from his students.

However, his rave reviews extend beyond the walls of academia to the pavement of the Pacific Traffic Education Centre (PTEC),

abutting the Pitt Meadows Airport.

As part of the Justice Institute of British Columbia (JIBC), PTEC is a driver-training facility for police and other first responders. It’s also where the UBC Sports Car Club, established in 1956, holds its Autocross 101 training programs. This is where you’ll find Professor Marziali providing drivers new to the sport with science-based racing theory before riding shotgun with

Autocross racing is a sanctioned and regulated form of grassroots competition that enables participants to enjoy the thrill of motorsports without the burden of expenses associated with auto racing. It’s also a remarkably safe endeavour in which drivers race the clock for bragging rights, not each other. The course is generally confined to a large paved parking lot, or in this case, the massive

Fun behind the wheel while developing driving skills from page 7

where savvy drivers makeup time. Skill is the great equalizer for horsepower.

Autocross courses are heavily skill-dependent, not horsepower hungry. Artistry and finesse trump raw power every time, especially when the Professional Autocross Index – otherwise known as PAX – is applied.

PAX is a weighting system similar to a handicap in

golf. It is a method of evening the playing field – or in this case, track – that requires a driver in a Ferrari to drive equally as well as a driver in a Honda Civic to score similar points.

The reality is that most drivers race cars that are largely stock street-legal vehicles, which also serve as their daily driver.

Most legitimate sports car clubs provide driver training opportunities for

Drives-U-Crazy The last second stop There’s one thing scarier than a driver traveling across a stop line at speed and braking at the last second. It’s a driver who does the same thing and doesn’t even glance at cars approaching on the main road from the left. Will they stop or not?

autocross racing, and in some cases driver-training on a bona fide race track.

The UBC Sports Car Club generally holds two Autocross 101 programs per year. I recently attended the end-of-summer session held at the PTEC facility.

My 19-year old son Austin was invited to participate, which he eagerly did using a 2015 Scion FR-S graciously supplied by Toyota Canada.

The class consisted of 19 drivers, three of them female. Ages ran the gamut from fresh-face teenagers to empty nesters with newfound vitality and wheels to match.

The UBC Sports Car Club driving instructors are all exceptionally talented, capable, and safety minded.

A ratio of two students per instructor ensures that

inaugural run through the autocross course.

With the use of sophisticated electronic timing, every hundredth of a second was accurately captured as the each driver made three runs through the course; the fastest serving as a baseline to measure improvement against.

With baseline times established, the course was broken into its essential elements of a slalom line, a G-circle, a series of offset gates, and a diminishing-radius sweeper.

Supported by coaching from their respective instructors, students spent the better part of the day perfecting their skills at all four stations.

In the afternoon, each student made four timed-runs of the complete course.

Each improved upon their baseline by significant margins, some dropping from the 40 and 50-second range to the thirties and forties while others – such as Jordan – cracked the barrier in the high 20s.

Austin, who has benefitted from similar advanced driver training in the past dropped from 33.73 seconds to 30.22 seconds.

While the day was filled with fun and excitement, it also served a greater purpose by developing driving skills that are completely transferable to the street. In effect, making each student a better, safer driver.

Lost to us too soon, beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, Leona May Wilde passed away on October 19th, 2014 after a brief, but heroic battle against heart disease.

Survived by her children, Sandra Dodd (husband Dennis and sons Sean and Cody), Susan Whittaker (husband Sid and children: Todd, Jessica and Krista), Nancy Morgan (husband John and sons Adam and Tristan), Shelley Cook and Andrew Weingart (son Drew), two sisters, Sharon Collision and Donna Toews, and her brother Alan Stoppa.

Your death dear mother, was our first sorrow wept without you. If our love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. Caregiver to family and strangers alike, she was a strong soul who always put the needs of others before her own. Widowed by her true love, Pat Wilde, two years ago, they are now reunited in death where their dance together will continue forever. Special thanks to all the wonderful health care professionals (paramedics, doctors and nurses) who cared for mom over the last few months. In respect of mom’s wishes, there will not be a public service. Donations (in lieu of flowers) can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

PETER FRANS DEGENHARDT Peter sadly passed away on October 7, 2014 in Vernon, BC at the age of 71 years, born October 31, 1942. He leaves behind his partner Michelle, her daughter Trina and her children Brock, Braxon & Bella; his brothers John & Bob; Jessica & many friends.

A celebration of life will be held at the Best Western Hotel, 2402 Hwy 97 North, Kelowna BC on November 8, 2014 from 1pm to 5pm.

SHELDON BLOOMER Passed away on October 13, 2014. He will be sadly missed by friends and family. Born: Earl Sheldon Bloomer on November 24, 1928 at Grace Hospital in Winnipeg, Manitoba Sheldon was raised on a farm in Headingly, Manitoba with siblings: Edward (Ted) deceased survived by wife Lorraine Naomi - husband Bill (deceased) Lloyd - wife Bev Headingly, and Charleswood, Manitoba were home to Sheldon for the first 39 years of his life. Sheldon was involved in many diverse business ventures. He owned hotels and pubs, heavy equipment franchises and oilfield companies. He was a real estate developer and even promoted rock concerts in the 1960s.

Sheldon was the consummate entrepreneur. Hockey was a great part of Sheldon’s life. Sheldon played in the New York Rangers organization for 7 years. This included playing for the legendary Eddie Shore of which he had many stories to tell. Sheldon would often imitate Eddie barking at him on the ice.....”Can you dance Mr. Bloomer, can you dance.” In 2003 Sheldon was inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame as a proud member of the Winnipeg Maroons Hockey Club which represented Canada at many international competitions and became the Canadian National Team.

Sheldon played on the “Old Timer” hockey teams of Winnipeg, Edmonton, Kelowna and Vernon, collectively for over 40 years. Sheldon was survived by long-time friend Joyce Schaefer as well as his four children: Shelley Gill Stan Wade Bloomer - Deb Shawna Zadeiks - Ed Jacquie Laguardia 11 grand-children and 3 great grand-children.

SMITH, ERIN RAE In the early hours of October 23, 2014 the world stopped and the heavens opened to receive our beautiful Erin.

From the moment of her birth on June 28, 1981, while a doe stood watch outside of the window of her delivery room, her spirit was defined. She was a special gift to all of us. While her departure was far too soon, we are grateful for every moment that we were able to be part of her life and for the joy she provided to all of us. Our lives will never be the same and are only made bearable by the never ending gift that was her life and by the belief that her beautiful soul will provide us with comfort in our moments of sadness and light our way through the darkness that accompanies her passing. She is survived and forever remembered by her loving parents, Brian and Michelle Smith of Kelowna, her loving brother Mark of Kelowna, her loving pet dogs “Abby” and “Lola”, various aunts and uncles including Viola Watt of Edmonton, Alberta, Mary and William Taylor of Trenton, Ontario, Brenda Smith of Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Michael Upham and Cathy Lotwin of Calgary, Alberta, various cousins and her new special love Geoffrey Jones. A mass will be held at St. Pius X Church at 1077 Fuller Avenue (corner of Gordon Drive and Fuller Avenue), Kelowna, BC on Monday, November 3, 2014 at 11:00 am followed by interment at the Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the fund established for Lindsey Hauck, a co-worker and friend of Erin, who was seriously injured in the car crash that also took our beloved Erin. You may do that by visiting http://www.gofundme.com/g912oc Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.firstmemorialfuneralkelowna.com.

2014 Community Leader Awards

TOP HONOUR:

Francis Braam & Fred Bourcier For the last three seasons, coaches Francis Braam and Fred Bourcier have helped to maintain a winning tradition in boys’ basketball at Dr. Knox Middle School. Under the guidance of Braam and Bourcier, the Falcons won the Grade 8 city championship in 2013. A year later, in 2014, the Dr. Knox Grade 9 team dominated the Okanagan en route to the gold medal at the valley championship. The Falcons then captured bronze at the B.C. championship, defeating Lord Byng in the third-place game.

Victories and trophies aside, Braam and Bourcier have drawn praise from the parents of Knox players for their “tireless and generous” efforts in coaching a group of 14-year-old boys.

Coach

“It’s pretty special,” Braam said of the award and recognition for the Knox program. “The kids we coached were a great group. We took them from boys to literally young men and, at the end of it all, they were good friends and competed hard together. It was a great experience, just enjoying it all with those kids.”

For Bourcier, the award is both humbling and a testament to the dedication and commitment shown by the players.

“The truth is, when the kids all really want to be there, it’s lots of fun,” said Bourcier. “In the end, it’s all about the kids and that’s the way it should be. It was a great experience watching them grow as a team.”

Under Braam and Bourcier, the Falcons lost just three games all season against Grade 9 competition.

Braam will once again contribute his time to the basketball program at Knox this season, while Bourcier plans to continue helping grow the game at the minor level in Kelowna.

HONOURABLE MENTION:

Rob Law Rob Law has been a fixture around local ball diamonds for the last decade.

As a coach, director and former president of the Rutland Minor Baseball Association, Law has played a key role in the development and growth of dozens of young players.

As one of the parents said of Law’s contribution to minor sports, “This man is in for the kids of the community, without a doubt.”

Because Law had influential and important coaches during his childhood, he felt compelled to give back, and has done so as a coach and mentor at several age groups within Rutland Minor Baseball.

“There’s nothing better than seeing the smile on a kid’s face when he hits a home run or gets his first hit,” said Law, a father of two boys. “That’s the reward, to see when a kid finally gets it after all the hard work. At the end of the day, it’s not about winning, it’s about developing ball players and developing young people.”

Law, who also coached basketball for three years at Rutland Middle School, expects to once again be involved in coaching baseball next season.
