Dream move realized by notso-real reality TV Kathy Michaels

Brent’s Grist Mill has been forgotten by most people on the site where it was moved to in 2002

A place for the Grist Mill Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

After 12 years of almost no activity, it appears 2015 could be the year Brent’s Grist Mill finally starts to emerge from being a hidden piece of Okanagan history to its rightful place as one of the most important heritage sites in Kelowna. The Grist Mill, the first industrial enterprise in the Okanagan constructed in 1871, has been sitting near the corner of Dilworth and Leckie since it was moved there in 2002. It’s hidden from view of nearby roads and without any signs explaining its importance to the area’s history. But this year the City of Kelowna says it expects to begin restoration work on the Grist Mill with close to $100,000 committed to stabilizing the building, which along with a nearby house and barn, were inhabited and used by Frederick Brent, one of the earliest European settlers in the Okanagan.

“The Grist Mill is one of the most important heritage buildings we have in Kelowna for a few reasons,” explained Terry Barton, building and facilities planning manager for the City of Kelowna. “It’s post-andbeam log construction which there are very few structures remaining. So, architecturally, it’s a very rare type of building and the only (post and beam) owned by the city. The building is very humble and very low key in its stature however it tells a very interesting story of a German who came to B.C. and started on the industrial side. It’s part of the story of how Kelowna was settled.” The Grist Mill and its two associated buildings—Brent’s home and dairy farm—were moved in 2002 from the Ellison area to its current location but have begun to fall into disrepair as the structures have not had much work done on them since the move. The availability of some

funds to stabilize the mill is positive news to the Central Okanagan Heritage Society (COHS), a group that has been lobbying to have the area revitalized. “This is what we wanted and have been hoping for, for the last 12 years,” said Janice Henry, executive director of COHS. “We’re encouraged. We want to be part of the future of the buildings. I think the site has huge potential.” A couple of developments could help the current site of Brent’s Grist Mill as a Rails with Trails walking path connects a loop around Kelowna that goes past the structures. Future plans for a Highway 33 extension in the area could also bring vehicle traffic and more tourists and locals past the historic structures. “The (Grist Mill) story isn’t very well told and I think the restoration of the building is one thing that allows the opportunity for the

interpretation side,” said Barton. “I think it could be more prominent. It could be a hub. I think if you have a new road and you have the rails to trails I think the possibilities are huge to what it could be.” Last week during budget discussions, Kelowna city council asked for more information and an update on the city’s heritage program. Currently the city has 19 heritage assets and city staff are now preparing to present an overview of the entire heritage portfolio and a recap of the program. Barton says that will be presented to council over the next few months before any more decisions are made on funding for heritage sites. The $100,000 committed to the Grist Mill has already been approved by Kelowna council with work expected to take place sometime this year. @KP_media1

A Kelowna couple is about to weigh anchor to embark on a Caribbean adventure, and anyone who owns a TV is invited along for the journey. JC and Felicia Rathwell have sold everything they own so they can start a new life on Roatán, the largest of Honduras’ Bay islands. They’d been searching for properties in the Caribbean for four years, but the plan was accelerated by a surprise phone call from the producers of HGTV’s Caribbean Life. “We had come home (to the Okanagan from the Caribbean) to run our boat business,” said Rathwell. “Then HGTV called us and said, ‘you are a fascinating couple… we want to follow you down when you look for some houses, and talk with you about the area.’” Producers had originally thought the couple were looking to buy in St. Martin, so they tentatively planned to meet some time in the future. Then they learned that the destination was Roatán, and that’s when things started moving ahead quickly . A film crew was heading to that destination in 10 days, so Rathwell decided to meet them. “I left my boat, took time off work and we got there one day before filming,” Rathwell said. The day filming started the couple woke up at 5:30 a.m. for a couple hours of general production prep and carried on with filming until sunset. It was a long, and

JC and Felicia Rathwell found their dream home with the help of a reality TV program. not necessarily fluid process. On the first day they ran out of daylight while working their way through a prospective property, so the film crew asked them to come back a few days later, and rehash the moments that had passed. That included saying the same words while wearing the same outfits. It was strange, but a huge lesson in the ways of reality TV for the Rathwells. “We did everything backward…we did a session where we talked about the houses the realtors were selling us, but we hadn’t met the realtor yet,” he said. “Then when we went back to the house we saw, we mentioned the realtor, and we were told, ‘No, you haven’t met him yet.’” Despite the unusual twists and turns related to being involved with filming a reality TV program, the couple did find a new home within four days. “We’re not allowed to say which one we chose,” said Rathwell. “But we’ll be moving in October.” And, to that end, life in the Okanagan is wrapping up nicely. Their business,

Kelowna Dinner Cruises, is being sold. As is their home and all the belongings that would be too hard to take along with them to their new beginning. “Everybody dreams of selling everything and moving to the Caribbean, but we’re actually doing it,” Rathwell said, adding that family and friends have been “all high fives and two thumbs up” about the decision. And their decision has been made sweeter by the fact that they won’t be leaving forever. “We love Kelowna, it’s a beautiful city,” he said. “We will stay here in the summer because we like the hot weather.” And the rest of the year they’ll soak up Roatán’s warm and stable weather and start another boat business. “We have a catamaran, and we’ll be doing snorkel and reef tours for cruise passengers,” Rathwell said, noting they’ve already got moorage lined up for next fall, and they’re in talks with cruise lines that frequent the area.” To see exactly where their new roots will be planted, turn in to HGTV on Feb. 15.

growing facilities to be built on agricultural land. That was something Coun. Rick de Jong lamented. “I’m not supportive of having this in an industrial zone,” said de Jong. “We should be more in line with the province and allow it on (agricultural) land.” In Kelowna, which has not had an official application for a commercial growing operation despite as many as 15 people inquiring about such an opportunity from City Hall, commercial medical marijuana can be produced in three different industrial zones and on agricultural land if approved by the provincial ministry of agriculture. For others on West Kelowna council, like Coun. Duane Ophus, the issue was the distance of the setback. Ophus said the municipality has the 150 metre setback for light industrial use buildings for a reason, and that should not be varied in this case. The applicant wanted the setback reduced to 75 metres. The issue of medical marijuana production

facilities, now that new federal rules are in place that also prohibit home production, are a “moving” target, according to Mayor Doug Findlater. That is in part because of an interim court injunction now in place allowing previously approved producers who were put out of business when the new federal rules went into effect last March. The injunction followed a challenge to the new rules in federal court. Under the new rules, approval for commercial medical marijuana production now rests with Health Canada in Ottawa. But municipalities can also set some rules because they have jurisdiction over land use in the zones in which they allow the operations to be located. In the case of West Kelowna, the production must be the only use in a building, there cannot be any other tenants, and there must be proper security and ventilation. The company behind the proposed facility, B.C. Medical Technologies could not be contacted for comment. @kelownacapnews

The site is located on Industrial Road, between Majestic Mattress and Alpine Helicopters, two area businesses that have voiced concern about the growing facility going in so close to their operations. Despite that, district planning staff recommended the variances be approved. However, council rejected the application citing potential risks and not being sure about a promised “close-loop” ventilation system to be used in the facility. The system would not vent any air from inside out of the building, thus eliminating the potential for odour in the neighbourhood. While the district does not have the final say as to whether such a facility would be approved— that rests with Health Canada—it does control the land use within the zone or zones in which it allows such a facility to be located. In West Kelowna’s case, that is just one zone—light industrial. Unlike the province and other municipalities such as Kelowna, West Kelowna does not allow medical marijuana

Pot dispensaries are popping up across B.C., but a recent raid of a Kelowna shop shows Mounties have no qualms about weeding them out. Since the April 1, 2014, introduction of a federal law that stopped medical marijuana users from growing their own pot in favour of buying from a licensed vendor, two new dispensaries in the Central Okanagan opened. Joining the BeKind Compassion Club in Rutland, which has been in operation for many years operating a slightly different client care model, are the Kaya Clinic on Lawrence Avenue in downtown Kelowna and Black Crow Herbal Solutions on Westgate Road in West Kelowna. Both obtained business licences from their respective municipal governments—neither for the specific reason to sell marijuana— and opened their doors to provide “safe access to

high quality medical Cannabis products for our qualified patient and caregiver members.” Trouble is, there’s nothing in Canadian law to allow self-described “medical marijuana dispensaries” or “compassion clubs” to function. Legislation may give people with prescriptions access medical marijuana to deal with their recognized ailments, but it doesn’t provide to produce, use or traffic the substance, RCMP say. And that’s what caused Mounties to conduct a search on the Kaya Clinic, Jan. 15. “We can only obtain a search warrant when we believe an offence has been committed,” said Const. Kris Clark, noting that marijuana continues to be regulated as a controlled substance under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, which the RCMP has an obligation to investigate where grounds to do so exist.

Investigators located a large quantity of marijuana products inside the store. In all, police seized approximately 12.5 lbs of dried marijuana, along with dozens of other marijuana derivatives and products including oils, tinctures, creams, hash, capsules, balms, teas, butters, honey, candies, cookies and more. The owners of the business could face potential charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking.

On a day that some call one of the most depressing days of the calendar year, a Kelowna group decided to get out and change that perception into one of caring, love and positivity. Known as Blue Monday since 2005 when a public relations firm first coined the term as a marketing ploy, the third week in January has become known as a dark day for some and another way for companies to market things from bottled water to booze to vacation packages. But a Kelowna-based horganization called Open For Change decided to flip the marketing tool on its ear by renaming the day Make Someone Smile Day and took to the streets of Kelowna eto hand out positive messages and gifts to brighten people’s spirits. About 10 people from the group were at Walmart posting sticky-note messages on windows, while hundreds of others linked to the group’s Faceook page were saying they too would help spread the

word on Monday. Among the messages left on sticky notes were “Be Happy, You Are Amazing,” and the group also left gift bags for people. “We asked people to do random acts of kindness to put a smile on people’s faces, to brighten up apparently what is the most depressing day of the year,” said Hope For Change founder Michael Lavigne, who called the event a great success. “You should have

Opinion OUR VIEW

Employees the real victims in Target failure Last week, the 17,000 Target employees working for the company in Canada found out they will be losing their jobs, including those at the store in Kelowna’s Orchard Plaza. Target’s U.S. parent announced it planned to close all 133 stores in Canada, the closure comes just two years after Target opened to great fanfare in Canada, after taking over most Zellers stores and their leases. In years to come, Target’s advance and retreat in Canada will likely be used as a classic textbook case study in business schools. The company had a good reputation in Canada before it opened a single store here, given that many Canadians live near the border and regularly shopped at U.S. Target stores. It decided to take over an existing chain that had a loyal core of shoppers, close down those stores and lay off all employees. It then completely renovated them, and opened a large number of stores all across the country, all at once. This is something that no other U.S. retailer who has made the trek north has done. Walmart took over Woolco, but gradually rebranded their stores. There were far fewer Woolco stores than Zellers stores. Walmart also gradually opened new stores and, in more recent years, has renovated its stores to add large grocery sections. Building supply stores Home Depot and Lowe’s both entered the Canadian market more gradually, even though they were (and remain) large U.S. chains. Costco also came into Canada more gradually as well. By all accounts, all these companies have done well with their Canadian operations. By coming in more slowly, they all learned the challenges of doing business in Canada, something the corporate braintrust behind Target failed to grasp.

Hippy science is easy, and wrong Did you do a “cleanse” to start Victoria News the year? A diet or supplements to, you know, “detox” your TOM body? FLETCHER Please, if you did, I don’t want the details. I’m here to discuss the underlying assumptions of this fad. TV presenter Dr. Oz is a promoter of various schemes, soup diets and the like, but there are many books and consumer products being flogged. “Supplements, tea, homeopathy, coffee enemas, ear candles and foot baths promise you a detoxified body,” writes Ontario pharmacist Scott Gavura, who treats cancer patients with medicine’s most potent drugs. Frustrated by the pharmacy industry’s willingness to cash in on fake cures for nonexistent conditions, Gavura began contributing to ScienceBasedMedicine.org, where you can search “detox” find his takedown of this notion. He traces the roots of purification rituals in religious and medical history, such as when patients were bled with leeches. Actual “detox” is administered in hospital for those with dangerous levels of drugs, alcohol or other poisons. Credible physicians abandoned theories of “autointoxication” in the 19th century. “Today’s version of autointoxication argues that some combination of food additives, salt, meat, fluoride, prescription drugs, smog, vaccine ingredients, GMOs and perhaps last night’s bottle of wine are causing a buildup of ‘toxins’ in the body,” Gavura writes. “And don’t forget gluten. Gluten is the new evil and therefore, is now a toxin.” Gluten-free products now occupy whole sections of grocery stores, not far from the pricey “organic” produce that may or may not be tested for synthetic pesticides. Living in the Lower Mainland 20 years ago, I noticed people lugging big plastic jugs to the grocery store to fill with water. Metro Vancouver is a rainforest, with some of

the best tap water in the world, so I wondered what they were trying to avoid. Discreet inquiries yielded similar answers. Aside from the odd superstition about chlorine or fluoride, they had no idea at all. They didn’t know about the Coquitlam reservoir, or ozonation, or what they were buying, which was essentially municipal water run through a filter. They had been convinced to pay $2 for water in plastic bottles, and this somehow led to the conclusion that their tap water is only fit for washing clothes and driveways. Vaccinations? Don’t get me started. In the past year, I have had an argument with a registered nurse at a blood donor clinic, annoyed that the health ministry denied her imagined “right” to infect frail patients with influenza, and with a veteran politician who only recently overcame a vague taboo against putting vaccines in her body. It’s no wonder people constantly fall for enviro-scares like toxins from the Alberta oil sands that are actually concentrated in cities where all that fuel is burned, or the threat of genetically modified canola oil, or smart meters. The media are frequently part of the problem, lacking scientific literacy and preferring conflict over common sense. Take Vancouver (please). The mayor rose to fame with a company that sold overpriced imported tropical fruit juice in single-serving plastic bottles. Calling it “Happy Planet” convinced a new generation of urban rubes that they’re doing something for the environment. Plus, there are “no chemicals” in it, to cite the central myth of hippy science. At the risk of giving you too much information, I did a cleanse last year. It was for a screening colonoscopy, one of many that have taxed the B.C. health care system since a new test was added to the standard medical checkup. Try that one if you’re over 50.

MISTAKEN ENTRY

Chicken farming is strictly monitored

Senior feels apology is due

To the editor: Re: Capital News letter, Wed., Jan. 7: Chicken Farming Standards Need to be Improved. This gentleman is totally out to lunch with his comments. For the record, I managed 120,000 birds a cycle before moving to Kelowna eight years ago. I was involved with the last epidemic 10 years ago. Everything from growing, to disinfecting, to control of who comes and who goes every single day on the farm is monitored. Six to seven weeks is a grow cycle and barns are cleaned each and every cycle and disinfected. The number of birds placed is determined on the square footage on each and every floor, i.e.: If the length is 300 feet long, then 20,000 are placed, times that by four—which was my longest—that’s 80,000 per cycle. And that’s only one barn, as I had a few more. As for feces build-up (what the previous writer said) is totally untrue, never ever is a barn left to any state like he suggests, weather it’s laying birds or breeder birds or just plain free range. This guy better understand the supply management aspects of poultry farming before he mouths off comments like that. G.R. Kerry, Kelowna

Bad Apple Open letter to Tim Cook, CEO Apple Computers Re: Apple’s broken promises. I was absolutely appalled and disgusted watching The Passionate Eye’s documentary Apple’s Broken Promises 2014 on CBC TV this evening (Sunday Jan. 18). For a company to claim that they want to be the most transparent company in the world, the fact company representatives would not even meet with the investigator on the program so that he could show them the dreadful footage he had garnered illustrates the fact this company is nothing more than a cruel farce. The actual camera footage inside those terrible Chinese factories and the children risking death in your illegal minefields in Indonesia was absolutely horrifying and sickening. I swear that I will never buy another Apple device ever again, and neither will my friends. Apple is a disgrace to the developed world and to its company. Did Steve Jobs condone this activity as well? Their assurances that all is well are ridiculous and strike a very hollow note in what must be the image of what really is one of the cruelest and most heartless companies in the world. As a gay man, I would have thought that Apple would want to fight oppression everywhere. Apparently this is not the case. What a disappointment Apple is. The world is watching. I pray they will not get away with their rotten, greedy ways. Laurence D.M. Marshall and Larry D. Norton, Kelowna

To the editor: On Sunday, Nov. 2, at 10:30 a.m., I had a knock on the door while I was still in bed sleeping. I rushed as fast as my sore body could to get to the door and in my hurry didn’t look out to see who it was, which was a mistake. But the knocking sounded so urgent that I opened it in a hurry. I opened the door and in rushed this woman who proceeded to put her shoe coverups on and barged into my kitchen, demanding to know where my book was with no introduction whatsoever. I was baffled and startled to hear this person being so rushed and rude to find where this book was, I had no idea who she was nor what this book was. Then she wanted to know where my medications were, and I kept saying I don’t know what you are talking about. She kept repeating herself with no introduction. All of a sudden it seemed like she realized she was in the wrong, and out the door she went with no explanation. It is possible she

was there to see another client down the hall as per her conversation with the possible client? I think this was disrespectful and to me felt like elder abuse. She could be charged for unlawful entry. If she did realize she had made a mistake,why not correct it on the spot? This is why we had to bring it to her superior’s attention. It was on Nov. 18 that I called the lady that I had talked to from Interior Health to find out why no one has been in contact with me after I sent them a letter. She said (the employee in question) is a lovely lady and that I have 40 days to respond. I really think that she owes me an apology. The way I look at it, she could be charged with entering and going through my cupboards demanding that she wanted to see my book and then asking where my meds were. I had no idea what that involves as I have never had Interior Health come to my place ever. Alisen Kates, Kelowna

MOBILITY CHALLENGE

Outlets needed to recharge battery-powered scooters To the editor: Kelowna and West Kelowna are largely made up of senior citizens, many of whom are mobility challenged and use batterypowered scooters or other machines to get around (in town, in the park or other places of interest). I am one of those seniors, and because my wife drives me places that I am interested in going to, on my way I notice many batterypowered devices that use the sidewalks and streets to get to stores or the malls. There are plenty of scooters going in the malls and some stores are even providing them for customers at no cost. As the population gets older, scooters, or battery-powered vehicles (cars), become more abundant, and charging stations will be needed. I’m suggesting our communities start now

PLAN FOR BIKES

For every new road a bike lane To the editor: If we are serious about air quality, if we are serious about climate change, if we are serious about alternative transportation, every time a road is built, accommodation should be made for an accompanying bike path. I certainly hope this will be the case with the proposed Mission South Perimeter Road. Lynda Zorn, Kelowna

to include AC power outlets in all new or replaced street lights, or park walkways. These AC power outlets could be added to existing light standards which would eliminate the need for new power lines. The power is already there, and a drop down line to a power outlet is all that is needed, along with a meter that must be coin operated to get power activated for a definite time, much like street parking meters are now. This would, over time, pay for the install, and allow battery-operated devices to be used more, assured that the mobility device could be recharged when necessary. Local municipal budgets could include these accessible charging stations, or future developments could be demanded to include such recharging facilities. Ron Renneberg, West Kelowna

Are You Taking Care of Your Shoulder Pain? Discover a New Option. Shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis. Many of us learn to live with it and think, “It’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS

Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury. Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.

It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.

Glenmore Chiropractic

Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury. Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked… what do I do?”

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

news _____________________________________ DECLINING ENROLMENT

Oyama school’s future in doubt Richard Rolke edit@kelownacapnews.com

There are fears that Oyama could ultimately lose its elementary school if boundaries are adjusted. The Central Okanagan School District is currently reviewing catchment areas for the three elementary schools in Lake Country. And while it calls for some additional students to shift to Oyama Traditional, trustee Deb Butler insists it won’t be sufficient to keep enrolment steady long-term. “Even by moving those kids, we could still see Oyama school tank based on the district’s figures,” she said. There are currently 100 students at Oyama Traditional and district administration is

proposing taking some students from Peter Greer Elementary and sending them to Oyama. But after Grade 7 students leave Oyama to go to George Elliot Secondary School, Butler says administration’s model may only provide Oyama with 100 to 120 students—far below the capacity of 130 (not including portables). “Bringing those kids in is just maintaining things, it’s not increasing that number,” she said. “Running under capacity is just a disaster. The writing is on the wall (favouring closure).” Butler, who lives in Oyama, regrets convincing parents to let their Grade 7 students leave Oyama Traditional and go to GESS. “We agreed to a middle school because

it wasn’t supposed to impact our existing school,” she said, adding that she is also concerned about the district’s suggestion that a new elementary school could eventually be built elsewhere in Lake Country to accommodate future growth. “If we get a new school at the south end, that will mean the end of Oyama.” Instead of the current administration proposal, Butler wants students from the Lakes development at the north end of Winfield moved to Oyama. That could potentially lead up to 112 more students over time. “That would keep Oyama a vibrant and viable school and take pressure off Davidson Road and Peter Greer schools so they can handle the growth in the

south,” she said. Butler admits, though, that her plan isn’t popular with some Lakes parents. “They are driving their kids to Davidson but they would be bused to Oyama. It’s 10 kilometres.” Butler is urging residents who want the Lakes students moved to Oyama Traditional to attend a school district committee meeting today at 4:30 p.m. at the school board office in Kelowna. Residents can also sign a petition Thursday, from 3 to 8 p.m., at Oyama Traditional, Oyama General Store and the Oyama Community Hall. School district officials defend their current proposal to take some students from the south end of Wood Lake and send them to Oyama. “Hopefully it will result in some increase in school enrolment. The school is currently underutilized,” said Larry Paul, secretary-treasurer. “We are looking at the best way to normalize the catchment areas. We are not shrinking Oyama’s catchment area, we are making it larger.”

Wine and Dine returns More than 40 restaurants across the Thompson Okanagan will participate this year in the annual Wine and Dine event presented by the Wines of British Columbia, from Jan. 23 to Feb. 11. Participating restaurants will feature a three-course menu for $15, $25 or $35 with suggested BC VQA wine pairings. A list of participating restaurants and their menus can be viewed at okwineanddine.ca. “This festival is great for restaurants as we help promote their business during what has been traditionally a slow time of year,” said Ian Tostenson, president/ CEO BC Restaurant and Foodservices Association. “Many residents take the opportunity to get out and try restaurants that they may not have ever been to or don’t visit often enough, so it’s a win-win for the consumer and our member restaurants.”

The embedded unit hadn’t started at the time these statistics were collected, but Clark said that much of the infrastructure for helping victims was in place. Clark also pointed out that while domestic violence is a problem anywhere it happens, and there is room for improvement within Kelowna, it would be wise to not take the statistics too seriously. Given that Kelowna is a Census Metropolitan area, its crime rates

reflect all that happens between Lake Country and Peachland, which skews stats and therefore perception. He also pointed out that cities, like Surrey, aren’t even included in the ranking because they’re not Census Metropolitian Areas. According to Statistics Canada, there were 88,000 victims of family violence in 2013; they accounted for about onequarter of all violentcrime victims in Canada. Around 68 per

The strengthening U.S. dollar is having a direct effect on Kelowna’s fire department. On Monday, city fire chief Jeff Carlisle asked council to increase the $600,000 it set aside in the 2014 budget for a new, custom-built emergency rescue truck by nearly by 18 per cent. The reason is that the U.S. dollar’s continued strength against the Canadian dollar. The truck, built in the U.S, will cost $106,200 more than expected. In his report to council, Carlisle said approximately $60,000 of the increase can be directly attributed to the value of the

U.S.”greenback” compared to the Canadian “loonie,” while the rest of the increase is due to the need for a larger and stronger driveline for the vehicle. Originally, he said, a standard driveline was to be included but it was discovered that would need much more frequent maintenance. The money for the truck will come from the city’s fire equipment replacement reserve. However, a few councillors expressed frustration they were not told more money would be needed for the truck last week during budget deliberations, but approved the extra money for the new rescue truck at council’s regular Monday meeting.

those files are shared. Their aim is ultimately intervention. “It’s more about educating both victims and the accused,” said Clark, noting that repeat offenders are targeted with the approach. “If we know of a particular person, and he or she has been convicted of domestic violence, then it may be about warning future partners and giving victims the support they need so they can get out of situation before anything happens.”

Statistics Canada released its latest census figures on domestic violence, and Kelowna once again earned the dubious distinction of being B.C.’s top spot for reported incidents. There were 446 victims of family violence in Kelowna in 2013, amounting to a rate of 243.3 incidents per 100,000 people. The figure not only ranked Kelowna as the top of the list in B.C., it also placed it 10th across the country. It’s a dismal stat, but the good news is that the number has come down

since the 2011 census, when Kelowna was again ranked first in B.C., but fourth in Canada. To that end, Const. Kris Clark said that initiatives within the local police force have proven to be successful. “We’ve been making good progress,” Clark said. “Just last year in conjunction with the B.C. government last year, we started an embedded domestic violence unit.” That has doubled the number of officers working on domestic violence files and it has also created stronger bonds with Ministry of Family and Children workers, with whom

Vigil planned for missing, murdered aboriginal women Barry Gerding bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

The growing concern about missing and murdered aboriginal women is something that registers personally with Alex Augier. Augier had a friend who disappeared from his life 20 years ago. “That sparked my interest of the need to do something, to bring awareness about this issue,“ Augier said. “My

friend Bowie was missing for 10 years and she was found dead three kilometres outside of Edmonton.” Augier said he used to attend the vigil held in Vancouver but when he couldn’t make it to the coast four years ago, he decided a similar vigil could be held here. “The first time we did it, we had about 14 to 15 people turn out, “ said Augier, a Metis Cree native from

northern Saskatchewan who is studying at UBC Okanagan to become a lawyer, wanting to specialize in First Nations land claim rights. “Last year we had about 90 to 100 people turn out on the steps of the Kelowna courthouse.” This year’s event will be held Saturday, Feb. 14, starting at noon. The hour-long vigil will include singing and drumming along with a

“My daughter graduated Grade 12 last year and as a grad present I took her on a trip to Costa Rica through G Adventures and she loved it, it being both fun and educational at the same time,” Stinson said. Stinson talked to other moms about their experience as well as OKM leadership teacher Michael Ross, and the

interest from the students wanting to participate soon followed. She says the Costa Rica trip is an opportunity for the students to contribute to a meaningful initiative designed to transform their lives. The public can support this endeavour through charitable-status donations to School District 23. All donations will be distributed as follows: • 25 per cent to the

Augier will speak at the event while the KiLow-Na Friendship Centre men’s group will sing a traditional song of remembrance. He said the concept behind the vigil held in Kelowna and other

locations across Canada is to give a voice to those missing and murdered aboriginal women, an issue that various human rights and First Nations groups are pressuring Prime Minister Stephen Harper to address. Resolutions being called for include a national board of inquiry to look into why the missing women have not been found, or adding more police resources to solve the murder

and missing women investigations. Harper has so far declined to pursue either of those options. “There are 860 women across Canada still missing,” he said. “We would like to see more resources such as forensic science experts to help solve some of these cases.” For more information about the vigil in Kelowna, Alex Augier can be contacted at

Seniors LIVING WITH PURPOSE

Learning from the regrets of the dying Retirement Simplified

To be in the presence of someone who is terminally ill or approaching the final days of their life through the natural process of aging is a valuable opportunity to share in the epiphanies that facing death can bring to someone. Confronting your own mortality opens a door to looking at your life in a new way. Old grudges or judgments you have held of yourself, focusing on things that are really not that important, all take a back seat when the days that you have to share with those you love have been given a time limit. Suddenly, it is easier to see the bigger picture and let go of things that you have been clenching on to too tightly in your being. Things that are not really serving you or the people around you as you live in guilt from the past or fear of the future. Recognizing that all any

Seniors’ Concerns MARJORIE HORNE of us have is the present moment seems easy enough to acknowledge, but not so easy to practice. As I cared for my own mom in her final year of life, I sat and listened to her express regrets that she had about the past —the mistakes, missed opportunities and so on that she recognized looking back on her life. It was a healing time for her and held many ‘aha’ moments for myself. The position she was in of coming to the end of her life did not hold the possibility to go back and “do it differently.” However, I could see that it held the fertile ground of coming to forgiveness of herself and others, by working it through in her storytelling to me and to other loved ones who sat at her bedside and listened. The gift of this sharing time was that it made me think about my own life and where I might want to change some things so that when I came to the

end of my time here on Earth, my story would be one that I could be proud of and content with. Bonnie Ware, a hospice nurse, has written about the journey many of her patients experienced coming to find peace before they passed away in her book, Top 5 Regrets of the Dying. She says, “The wisdom that is the fabric of the lessons we learn from regrets expressed of the dying is that we only live once, and we must make the most of the life we have.” This can help us to age without harbouring disappointments and embrace more joy, peace, vulnerability and acceptance into our lives. The five main regrets Ware writes about are: • I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me • I wish I hadn’t worked so hard • I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings • I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends • I wish that I had let myself be happier. As we each begin a

I started the year of 2015 taking myself through a process called The Five Wishes. You begin by imagining yourself on your deathbed, whether it is this month or 30 years from now, and someone is asking you the question: “Was your life a complete success?” Upon visualizing your life, you first define five things you wish you had done more of to enhance a sense of fulfillment in your life. After describing these things, you turn each “wish” around into a positive present-tense goal from which you can then begin to create action steps to achieve, day by day, in your life right now. I am going to include exploration of the Five Wishes process with participants in a weekend workshop entitled “The Journey To Self Through Relationships” to be held Jan. 24 and 25. Call 250-863-9577 for more information if you want to take a new year’s step into seeking more bliss.

new year, it is a time when many of us pause from our habitual forms of behaviour and reflect on what is honestly going on in our lives—the good, the bad and the ugly. We can take the opportunity to recognize the habits and ways of thinking that prevent us from being happy, especially in our interactions within our relationships with others. We can stop living our lives always hoping for the next big thing and start living in the present moment. In an interview between the Atlantic Magazine and 101 yearold Marian Cannon Schlesinger, they talked about the importance of seeking your bliss. Schlesinger said: “Early on, I decided being a painter was what I wanted to be, but I wanted to be a lot of other things too. I wanted to write. I wanted to play tennis. I wanted to have a lot of friends. I wanted to have a lot of beaus. “I think I’ve been very lucky, but I think that I’ve made some of it for myself. I never gave up. I wanted it all in other words, and I think I really almost got it all too.”

Real estate firm survey reflects optimism for housing market Pricing for two Kelowna housing types saw an upswing in the last three months. According to the Royal LePage House Price Survey and Market Survey Forecast, the average price for detached entry level bungalows saw an increase of 4.2 per cent year-over-year to $375,000, while standard condominium prices saw a 5.4 per cent jump to an average price of $195,000. “After a few consecutive soft years, Kelowna real estate gathered positive momentum in 2014,” said Francis Braam, broker and owner, Royal LePage Kelowna. “Over the past year, we have seen more buyers from the prairies, who see Kelowna as an affordable and attractive option. This additional out-of-province demand has helped led to a healthier and more

balanced market.” Looking ahead to 2015, Braam forecasts moderate growth in the average price for homes and the number of units sold in Kelowna. “We have a stable economy currently, so we anticipate the continuation of the type of market we saw in 2014,” said Braam. Nationally, average home prices showed modest to healthy yearover-year gains in most markets in the fourth quarter of 2014. During the quarter, the average price of a home in Canada increased between 4.5 per cent and 6.7 per cent year-overyear. The average price of detached bungalows rose 6.7 per cent to $406,218, while standard two-storey homes increased 6.0 per cent to $443,379, and standard condominiums saw a

Scott pursues her seventh B.C. title Warren Henderson To see Kelly Scott enter a provincial championship as the prohibitive favourite is nothing new in B.C. curling. What will be rather novel this week at the women’s playdowns in Maple Ridge is the composition of the Kelowna rink. Third Shannon Aleksic and second Karla Thompson will play with Scott for the first time at a B.C. championship, replacing longtime team members Jeanna Schraeder and Sasha Carter, who stepped aside this season to spend more time with their families. Kelowna’s Sarah (Wazney) Pyke is back for her third season at lead, as Scott pursues her seventh provincial crown this week at the Golden Ears Winter Club. Despite playing a limited schedule, it didn’t take long for chemistry to develop for the new foursome. “We were all on the same page with how much we wanted to play, so I think we all enjoyed the life and curling balance,” said Scott,

DOUGLAS FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Six-time champ Kelly Scott is the favourite at the B.C. women’s curling title this week at the provincial Scotties in Maple Ridge. a two-time Canadian women’s champ. “It was good to experience that, to feel fresh each time we played and it was a novelty not to see each other all the time. We’re happy with what we’ve done and feeling good going to provincials.” With Aleksic (Abbotsford) and Thompson (Kamloops)

each living in other cities, the Scott rink intentionally lined up a quieter schedule than usual this season—playing in just four events on the World Curling Tour. The results were mostly promising for the newlyconfigured team which qualified in three of the competitions, including reaching the finals in both

Vernon and Maple Ridge. At provincials, the Scott team will play in an eightteam triple knockout format. Defending champion Kesa Van Osch from Nanaimo, Victoria’s Dailene Sivertson—a former teammate of Scott’s—and Royal City’s Kristy Lewis will be among the rinks competing.

Scott has yet to lose to any rink in the field this season. But even as the favourite, Scott knows there are no guarantees— as evidenced last year when the Kelowna rink was upset in the final by Van Osch. That loss ended Scott’s four-year reign as B.C. champ.

“It just goes to show you, you can’t take anything for granted,” said Scott, who qualified for provincials by winning the CTRS (Canadian Team Ranking System) points race. “We’re feeling confident, but we know it’s not a given, we know we have to work hard and play very well. If we don’t perform well, we know other teams are capable of stepping up.” The Scott team hasn’t played in an event for six weeks and, because team members live in varied locations, practises as a group have also been few and far between. Coach Brent Giles said the Scott rink will need to play relaxed, but at the same time can’t take too long to find its comfort zone in Maple Ridge. “We’ve got to patient in what we do, and perform like we’ve been practising for the last few days,” Giles said. “It’s the first time we’ll be playing since the end of November, so the key will be trying to bring it all together and get things working like they were early in the year. “In a triple-knockout format, you can’t really

afford a couple of early losses,” he added, “so you really want to have a good start and be consistent throughout.” Despite the thousands of hours on the ice over the years and the work that goes into remaining competitive, Kelly Scott remains passionate about the sport. The lure of making it to her ninth Scotties national women’s championship next month in Moose Jaw and the hunger of her teammates are two motivating factors. “The thought of getting to the Scotties and being surrounded by teammates you enjoy at the same time, that keeps me going back to the rink,” said Scott. “I think this year has given me a spark, things are really brand new. I still have that competitive side, and of course I want to do well for my teammates… it would be nice to see them have success.” Scott opens the B.C. curling championship Wednesday night against Kesa Van Osch. The final will be played Sunday at 1 p.m. @capnewsports.ca

WHL HOCKEY

Highly-ranked Merkley heads to Top Prospects Game Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

In his first season and a half in the Western Hockey League, Nick Merkley has commanded his share of attention from National Hockey League scouts. On Thursday night in St. Catharines, Ont., the Kelowna Rockets’ forward will be among 40 players auditioning their

Nick Merkley

skills at the Canadian Hockey League’s Top

Prospects Game. In Central Scouting’s mid-term rankings released Tuesday, Merkley is listed 13th among North American skaters, making him a probable first-round choice in this summer’s NHL entry draft. Since winning the WHL’s rookie of the year honours last season, the Calgary product hasn’t missed a beat and currently sits third in

league scoring with 14 goals and 64 points in 45 games. Rockets head coach Dan Lambert said Merkley is deserving of the recognition. “Surely the season he’s had so far, it’s no surprise he’s moved up in the rankings, and deservedly so,” said Lambert. “Nick just has to make sure he keeps playing his game, because you can go down

just as fast as you go up. At the end of the day, he has to keep proving he’s the player the scouts think he is.” A pair of Rockets’ defencemen were also cited in Central Scouting’s mid-term rankings— Devante Stephens was rated 108th among North American skaters, while Joe Gatenby came in at 134.

The UBC Okanagan Heat head into a bye week in a good frame of mind after running their Canada West volleyball match winning streak to an even dozen. After taking down Thompson Rivers University 3-1 on Thursday in Kelowna, the Wolfpack made the Heat women work much harder for a tight, fiveset victory (25-12, 21-25, 25-15, 23-25, 15-10) on Saturday in Kamloops. With the victory, UBCO (16-4) clinched a conference playoff berth for the third straight season.

ALPINE RACING

Kelowna’s Ryan Moffatt is proving to be a quick study on the North American FIS ski circuit. The 16-year-old member of the Big White Racers FIS alpine ski team raced to a bronze medal at the Can Am West series, Jan. 11 to 13 at Schweitzer Mountain near Sandpoint, Idaho. As a FIS rookie in the U16 division, Moffatt raced to a third-place effort in the GS, finishing in 1:40.63, 3.1 seconds out of the gold medal position.

BWR teammate Simon Bernard moved from 52nd to 27th in the second race with a combined time of 1:45.32. In women’s slalom, Meg Cumming, a local second-year U18 put in a strong performance with a 10th place finish with a two run combined time of 1:30.52. She was fourth after her first run but tough luck struck with a broken pole in the second as she managed to hold on to a top-10 finish. On Monday, Cumming

was consistent again in her two runs to finish in 10th place, 3.41 seconds behind the leader with a time of 1:30.52. On Tuesday Cumming continued her steady streak with yet another 10th place finish 2.61 seconds behind the leader with a time of 1:53.27. Moffat laid down a fourth finish after his first run but was unable to complete his second run and did not finish. Bernard unfortunately also ran into trouble in the morning and could

Okanagan College grads accept their diplomas, degrees and certificates at a convocation ceremony held last Saturday at the Kelowna campus. Some 322 students received their graduate credentials.

OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Grads embrace global thinking In an increasingly connected and global world, companies are seeking candidates who understand that business today goes beyond borders. This resonates well with Okanagan College student Danielle Hofer, who has graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration specializing in marketing. Hofer was one of 322 college students to receive their college credentials at the college convocation ceremony last Saturday at the Kelowna campus— comprised of 70 bachelor’s degrees, 21 associate degrees, 161 diplomas and 70 certificates. As part of her studies, Hofer jumped at the chance to spend a semester studying at the Berlin School of Economics and Law, a sister school with the college’s exchange program. “I was seeking a wellrounded perspective to my education that I knew would serve me well in my career. Studying marketing, I was interested in participating in new and creative experiences to help broaden my horizon,” said Hofer. “Plus, I’ve always had a passion for travelling, and I wanted to make my last year of study truly unique.” Globally-minded, Hofer was also a leader within the college’s Enactus program.

The new family tax cut is a new nonBehind The refundable tax credit Counter beginning in 2014. This credit will GABRIELE provide families with BANKA up to $2,000 per year of tax relief depending on some conditions and restrictions. The credit is located in section 119.1 of the Income Tax Act. This credit was created to offset some of the unfairness in Canada’s tax rate structure because a couple with a combined $80,000 taxable income would pay more or less tax depending on how the income was split. For example, a couple whose income was $60,000 and $20,000 would pay more tax than a couple who were both making $40,000. Non-refundable means that if you don’t use the credit in the current year, then it doesn’t carry over to the next, nor can you apply it back to prior years. So, who qualifies for this credit? In order to qualify for the credit, you must be a resident of Canada at the end of the year, must have a spouse who has not claimed the credit at the end of the year, have at least one child under the age of 18 at the end of the year living at home and have not been in prison or some other institution during the year. Both spouses must file a tax return in order to qualify for the credit even if one of the spouses has no income. The credit allows for the transfer of up to $50,000 to the other spouse and

is fixed at half the difference between the spouses’ taxable incomes. The transfer is based on a notional rather than an actual transfer, so the net income and the taxable income of the individuals remain the same so credits such as the GST/HST based on these amounts will not change. Only one spouse can claim the credit as it can’t be split. If there is a joint custody arrangement, both ex-spouses may be able to claim the credit if they are both in another marital or common-law relationship. The application for the credit is calculated on a new Schedule 1-A and the result is on line 423 of your tax return. Situations where the credit will not apply is covered under section 119.1(3) of the Income Tax Act and covers situations such as if the couple already splits pension income or if you were separated and living apart at the end of the year and for a period of 90 days that began sometime during the year. For events such as death, adoption, emigration, marriage, or starting a common-law relationship during the year, the credit will be pro-rated.

Economy W+A BISTRO

Straight From DeHart MAXINE DEHART This week’s column is dedicated to Tom Nishi, who passed away on Jan. 6. We have known Tom for decades. Personal condolences to his brother Jim and many friends. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. W+A Bistro, owned and operated by Marni Manegre, has opened at 315 Lawrence Ave. (corner of Lawrence Avenue and Water Street) in downtown Kelowna. Open for lunch and light dinners of tapas and shareables, this fun and sophisticated bistro combines wine and art as their main focus. The lunch menu, which is served until 6 p.m. daily, offers soups, salads, and croissant sandwiches. The evening menu is mostly a tapas and shareables menu with nachos, warm cheese dip, cheese plates, charcuterie plates and kettle cooked potato chips. Desserts are provided by Sandrine French Pastry & Chocolate. They have a good selection of wines and the beer is provided by Tree Brewing Co. Manegre plans to offer painting with wine. She tells me that with two to four glasses of wine, you can paint more creatively as your inhibitions decrease. Not sure what you will paint after four glasses. The bistro has five staff with one sommelier. Manegre is a big supporter of the B.C. SPCA as $1 from each glass or $4 from each

bottle of wine will be donated to that organization. The bistro is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Monday to Wednesday, and 11 a.m. to midnight Thursday to Saturday. Call 778484-2781. Kudos to the Kelowna Capital News staff on raising $1,485 this season for the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign. The staff team volunteered at Walmart on three consecutive Fridays from Nov. 28 to Dec. 12 to raise the money. Dr. Dale Forsythe, of Forsythe Chiropractic & Laser Therapy, has moved his office in preparation for construction of a new four-storey building with ground floor commercial and three floors of UBCO/OK College student housing for up to 84 students. Forsythe Chiropractic is now located at 202-125 Highway 33 East, on the second floor of Rutland Plaza, above the 7/Eleven store and gas bar on the corner of Rutland Road South and Highway 33 East.

The grand prize included a contract from Hay House to publish her novel, the premise of which is what if the only way to save the world meant going back in time, not just once but again and again? After consuming a specialized herb concoction prepared by a long-dead ancestor, the consciousness of each member of the Morgan family is transported into his or her previously incarnated body to various critical points in time, including Roman times, colonial America, and 18th century Turkey, France and England, where they must fight forces trying to alter the past and cause catastrophic change to the future. Grant has taught gifted children in public

Habitat for Humanity to open second ReStore outlet in Kelowna Habitat for Humanity plans to open a new ReStore retail outlet, to be the largest in B.C., in Kelowna this year. The new ReStore will be located at 100-2092 Enterprise Way, a 23,000 square-foot store to open this spring. ReStore offers new and gently used building products, home décor, furniture, major appliances, antiques and more at greatly reduced prices. “The current location on Ross Road in West Kelowna has been very successful allowing Habitat for Humanity to move forward quickly with its mission to supply affordable home ownership in the Okanagan,”said Deb Guthrie, executive

director of Habitat for Humanity Kelowna. Plans are in place for ground breaking in Peachland this spring where Habitat for Humanity will build three new duplex units supplying homes for six families in the area. One hundred per cent of the profits from ReStore operations fund affiliate services and assist in fundraising for building homes, the latest project for Habitat for Humanity Kelowna being three new duplex units in Peachland providing a home for six families. In Canada last year alone, ReStore operations diverted more than 27,000 tonnes from landfills.

civilized. All Outback powertrains have been revised for 2015 to be lighter and quieter while providing more performance and fuel efficiency. Not only has Outback been reskinned, including a one-piece nosecone grille and front bumper, but it’s also new inside the roomier cabin with its soft-

touch materials and extra padding where elbows often rest. A Technology Package on 2.5i Touring and Limited and 3.6 Limited adds adaptive cruise control, pre-collision braking and EyeSight - Subaru’s stereo camera technology that is the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s highest rated front crash prevention system.

Subaru’s all-purpose, work-and-play Outback has been bringing its combination of form and function (piled atop a highly regarded AWD platform) for decades now.

2015 Subaru Legacy has an edge on its rivals

The Subaru Legacy sedan was in a tough category – Family Car Under $30k – at the Canadian Car of the Year competition, recently staged in Niagara Falls by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC). But it had a couple of things going for it over its competititors: Subaru’s standard symmetrical all-wheel drive and EyeSight technology, which includes precollision braking, brake assist and throttle management, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and lane swap warning. Pretty amazing. EyeSight, which has earned praise from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, processes

stereo images of vehicles travelling in front, as well as obstacles, traffic lanes, etc. This information is relayed to the EyeSight computer, which networks with the car’s braking system and electronic throttle control. The system also is capable of detecting pedestrians in the Legacy’s path and can activate in order to mitigate or even avoid a collision. Under certain circumstances, EyeSight is able to bring the car to a complete stop. Standard equipment in the base model includes heated front seats, 10-way power driver’s seat, active torque vectoring, an infotainment system with 6.2-inch display and 4-wheel anti-lock disc brakes.

Never stop improving. Never stop pushing the limits. This is the Mazda Way. And it’s the philosophy that guides everything we do, from the engineering and design of our new vehicles to the kind warranty we offer.

L/100km

on the 2015 MAZDA3 GX In the MAZDA3, outstanding fuel efficiency is more than just a number. For starters, the new 5-cycle testing means fuel economy numbers better reflect real-world driving conditions. It means more time spent doing the things you love with fewer stops at the gas station. It means a lighter load on your wallet, And In a MAZDA3, great fuel economy never means you have to sacrifice exhilarating driving.

SKYACTIV

TECHNOLOGY

Performance & efficiency as one. Achieving the impossible is nothing new for Mazda engineers. While other car companies compromise power to improve fuel efficiency, we’ve taken a dramatically different approach with SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY. Far more than just an engine with hybrid-like efficiency, SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY is a holistic system that takes the entire car into consideration.

A matrix of next-generation innovations seamlessly works together to improve not only fuel economy but also the overall driving experience. Power and performance are delivered in abundance, along with efficiencies that offer up to a fuel-sipping estimated 4.7L/100 km highway.

The art of safety Who approaches safety as if it were fine art? We do. Both active and passive safety features on the 2015 MAZDA3 are artfully engineered and intricately crafted to help keep you and your precious passengers and cargo secure. Like our state-of-the-art i-ACTIVSENSE technology that senses the car’s surroundings, helping the driver to proactively respond to driving hazards. Plus there’s a comprehensive matrix of passive safety features that helps keep you safe in the event a collision cannot be avoided, including SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY’s ultrahigh-tensile steel. From air bags to radar-based brake support, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) to Blind Spot Monitoring, safety is more than practical - it’s a finely honed art.

2015 Buick Encore

2015 BUICK ENCORE

The 2015 Encore is the crossover you’ve been waiting for. Encore’s unique combination of luxury, style, versatility and technology make it the perfect co-pilot. And the perfect fit for an active, spontaneous lifestyle. INTERIOR Encore’s interior is as intelligent as it is stylish and luxurious. Advanced technologies quiet the cabin, keep you informed, entertained and connected, even alert you to hazards that might otherwise go unnoticed until it’s too late. And that’s just part of the story. Clever design makes the Encore interior amazingly versatile, so you can reconfigure it to handle almost any combination of passengers and gear. THOUGHTFUL STORAGE Inside Encore, there’s a place for virtually everything. There are no fewer than 4 storage bins in the dash, plus pockets in the front passenger seatback and storage compartments in all 4 doors. QUIETTUNING TECHNOLOGY Choose the available Leather or Premium equipment group with memory package and you can restore your preferred settings for the driver’s seat and exterior rear-view mirrors at a single touch after someone else has been doing the driving. And of course, IntelliLink makes it easy to access all your favourite music, no matter where you travel.

•Enhanced cooling airflow, which enables the Duramax turbo diesel and 6.0L gas engine to better maintain full power, even under heavy loads and high ambient temperatures •Latest-generation IntelliLink infotainment system with available navigations, which offers a variety of connectivity options for devices of all types. THE TRUCK THAT ANSWERS HEAVY-DUTY DEMANDS There’s no secret about what you need from a pickup — strength, power, vast hauling capacities and an impeccable record of reliability. And there’s no secret why the GMC Sierra 2500HD retains such a loyal following among serious truckers — because of its exemplary work ethic, building on GMC’s more than 100 years of truck–building experience.

2015 Cadillac SRX

2015 CADILLAC SRX

The 2015 SRX is a daringly distinctive five-seat luxury crossover that serves up equal doses of refinement and exhilaration. From its striking exterior design to the available heated and ventilated seats, the SRX is pure Cadillac. Perhaps even more remarkable is the intuitive technology the SRX offers, such as the innovative Cadillac CUE1 (Cadillac User Experience) infotainment system, Onstar 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot2, the convenient available rear vision camera and the available Bose® Centrepoint® surround sound speaker system. NAVIGATION Convenience is within easy reach, thanks to the available navigation system. Featuring easy, intuitive voice guidance, 3-D GPS colour imaging and more, it’s your onthe-road control centre.

FULLY BOXED FRAME While GMC’s engineers were focused on strength, they also ensured that ride quality wasn’t sacrificed. Both objectives were accomplished by the sturdy, hydroformed, fully boxed frame that uses high– strength steel to increase structural rigidity, resist bending, twisting and shaking. This helps isolate road noise and contributes to Sierra HD’s smooth driving dynamics. BOLD STYLING DETAILS Sierra 2500HD has a brash look that is instantly recognizable. A series of styling cues reinforce its rugged character — from the chrome grille surround and chrome bumpers to the available 20–inch polished aluminum wheels.

SHEPPARD, BYRON LOUGHLAN It is with great sadness that the family of Byron Sheppard Sr. announces his passing on Jan 13, 2015 at 75 years of age after a courageous battle with ALS. Byron was born on April 1, 1939 in Flin Flon, Manitoba. His early years were spent enjoying the outdoors, fishing, canoeing, and sea cadets. As a young adult Byron decided to pursue a career as a Machinist. In 1963 he married the love of his life, Verna and they moved to Calgary and started a family, Byron JR. and Vernon came along soon after. Byron decided to further his career and obtained his Millwright ticket as well. In 1979 the family relocated to Kelowna in order to live near Verna’s family. Byron and Alf (Byron’s father in law) soon became close friends. The family became hobby farmers and Byron started what would soon become his obsession, junk dealing. Byron was a natural wheeler/dealer and a great salesman, his honesty and down to earth manner was much appreciated. He believed it wasn’t how much money you made, but how far you stretched it! He was more than willing to entertain you with one of his many stories. Byron and Verna realized they had a passion for traveling and became “snowbirds” spending many winters in Yuma, Arizona enjoying old and new friends. Two years ago Byron became ill with a horrible disease, ALS, but as stubborn as he was he never let it stop him from doing what he enjoyed. Just one month ago he traveled to Costa Rica with his son, Byron JR, and amazingly went out fishing and caught a 100lb sailfish. He was an incredibly tough and hardworking man who pushed himself to the end and in the end he left on his own terms . Byron is lovingly remembered by his wife Verna, and sons Vernon and Byron JR., daughter in law Connie and grandchildren Shylo and Slader. He is predeceased by his parents Royden and Helen and brother Royden. The family would like to acknowledge and thank the ICU doctors and nurses at Kelowna General Hospital for their care and compassion. A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 on January 24 at Valleyview Funeral Home (165 Valleyview Road). Afterwards the family invites you back to Byron and Verna’s house for refreshment and sharing of stories. In lieu of flowers the family suggests donations be directed to the ALS society of BC. We will miss you forever and love you always. Condolences may be sent to the family through the guest book at www.valleyviewfuneralhome.com. Arrangements entrusted to Valleyview Funeral Home, Kelowna, BC 250-765-3147.
