ROB LINDSAY/CAPIAL NEWS

When Robin Jarman tickled the ivories of one of the five pianos planted around Kelowna’s waterfront last week, he didn’t know he was about to become a bit of an Internet sensation. Thousands have now seen a brief video of Jarman and his twin brother, who was visiting from Australia, offer an impromptu performance at the mouth of City Park and the reviews have been grand. “We were just fooling around —we weren’t even aware that we were being recorded,” Jarman said of the clip, pointing out it’s really the pianos that should be getting the attention. “I think the whole piano program is really exciting. It’s a wonderful attraction to have. I’m downtown quite a lot, because I live downtown, and it’s amazing how much they’re being played.” Festivals Kelowna’s Pianos in the Park program has been running for around two weeks and, like Jarman, the vast majority of those who have had the opportunity to see it in action have been thrilled by what it’s doing for the community. “It’s a great opportunity to play,” said Kylie Petite, 13. Petite, who on Thursday was joined by friend Ally Rosman, 12, has been to the piano adjacent to Jim Stuart Park four times in the last two weeks, singing and playing by the water’s edge. The aspiring performer pointed out that it’s a great opportunity to show off her chops and practise her Chopin. “Usually it’s people with guitars who get to play in public, because they’re portable,” she said. “So this is really great.” The idea to plant cheerfully painted pianos on a stretch running from City Park to the Rotary Centre for the Arts, has been in the works for awhile, explained Renata Mills, with Festivals Kelowna. The idea came to Festivals Kelowna workers courtesy of performer Leila Neverland. “She did some of the research and found out there was a warehouse stacked with pianos

Alistair Waters awaters@kelowncapnews.com

Ask, and ye shall receive. It was a coincidence but on Thursday, within minutes of a young ‘Mushroom Beach’ user saying what was needed at the downtown Kelowna beach to help solve some of the problems area residents are having with beach

users would be the installation of a portapotty, one arrived. According to the city, the plan to put the porta-potty at the beach entrance at the end of Lake Avenue, just south of the Bennett Bridge, was already in the works before the current uproar over inappropriate behaviour at the beach was raised by an area resident.

“I think a porta-potty would really help,” said Gage Beckett, a 23-yearold deejay and music producer who said he and his friends use the beach all the time. Earlier this week, area residents Dayna Margetts went public with her frustrations over the behaviour of beach users in a letter sent to the Kelowna Capital News (published June 24) and

other media outlets. Margetts said she no longer wants to bring her young daughter to the beach because of open drug and alcohol use, nudity, and beach-goers using nearby bushes, and, in some cases, area residents’ yards as their bathroom. “I moved into my neighbourhood so that I could walk to the end of my street and be at the beach,” wrote Margetts in her letter. “I can’t do that anymore. I can’t take my four-year-old to a place that is packed with drug users, where people are so drunk they can’t stand up straight and where the vocabulary of the people using the beach is not suitable for even late-night cable (TV).” She said the rowdiness appears to have ramped up this year but has been ongoing for the last three years. And, she added, despite complaints to city bylaw officials and the RCMP as well as a request to make the rowdies “feel unwelcome,” it is the area residents who feel unwelcome and, in some cases, unsafe. On Thursday, as he trudged through the sand to get a look for himself, Kelowna’s top cop, Supt. Nick Romanchuck, said his officers do patrol the beach as part of their downtown enforcement duties and are aware of issues at the beach. One officer said he and his partner make a point of swinging by the beach on their patrol and that weekends and evenings tend to be worse.

ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS

‘Mushroom Beach’ a problem for nearby residents

There’s now a porta-potty at Kelowna’s ‘Mushroom Beach,’ a move the city hopes will stop some beach-users from relieving themselves in nearby bushes and, in some cases, in area residents’ yards. But he said he and his partner do issue citations for law-breaking that they see, including drinking alcohol in pubic, open alcohol containers, and drug use. But Beckett, who was at the beach Thursday with his 19-year-old sister and his cousin, said while the beach does attract a younger crowd, the users are self-policing. He said he and others have called out people who have tried to leave broken glass on the sand, and there is an unwritten rule that users take away at least one piece of garbage—in addition to any litter they drop— when leaving the beach. He admitted there are people who “smoke weed” at the beach, but said that happens at many beaches in the

Okanagan. While he said he had personally not witnessed any violence at the beach, he conceded some users do like to sunbath without any clothes on. “I think they should just put up a sign and make it a nude beach,” he said. Given its close proximity to downtown— the beach is located at the southern end of the lakeshore walkway that passes through City Park and goes through the tunnel under the Highway 97 approach to the Bennett Bridge—it attracts many people who get there on foot. Margetts, in her letter, said she and her neighbours want to “reclaim” their neighbourhood. On Thursday, during

Romanchuck’s visit, there were five other police officers patrolling the short length of beach and talking to beach users. Following publicity about Margetts’ letter, Mayor Colin Basran said he would personally look into the matter. On Thursday, one police officer said he found evidence that there had been open alcohol but it was in an unattended bag. At times—when police officers were not present—there was a smell of marijuana in the air. Romanchuck said his officers will continue to monitor beach use, adding Mushroom Beach has been on their radar for the two years that he has been in charge of the city detachment.

Pesky weeds find a way to overcome fake grass boulevards Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com

West Kelowna’s Wine Trail, located on Boucherie Road off Highway 97, is dealing with a bit of a weed problem. The Wine Trail was opened last year, and features flags, shrubs and artificial grass along the traffic medians.

Although the area has been weeded already this year, a large quantity of weeds have popped up again. According to the District of West Kelowna, the reason for that is simple—the weather has been perfect for weeds. As a result, weeds have popped up all over the community, meaning it

will take some time for district workers to get to them all. Weeding is scheduled for Boucherie Road sometime this week, which is more complicated than other

roads due to the number of driveways and the need for one of the lanes to be closed while maintenance is done. While the weeding is done on Boucherie Road, district workers will

also be hanging flower baskets and making a small irrigation repair. The maintenance is expected to be completed by the start of Westside Daze on Saturday.

Hot start to West Kelowna fun fest Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com

When Westside Daze begins on Saturday, there won’t be any shortage of food. Leah Thordarson, president of Westside Daze, said for the first time ever organizers had to turn away food vendor requests, something she hopes to rectify by finding more food vending space next year. Thordarson said the final week before any festival is usually a very hectic time for organizers,

but that hasn’t been the case this year for Westside Daze. “Most years there are so many snakes we have to deal with at the last minute,” she said. “But this team is absolutely amazing. Our meetings are quick, they’re easy, everyone has everything under control, and it looks like it’s going to be a phenomenal event with everything on track and on time.” With temperature forecasts ranging from the high 30s to low 40s over the weekend, the

festival will be providing ways to get out of the sun and cool off. There will be a mist tent, several air conditioned buildings and even an air conditioned teepee at Okanagan Day on Sunday. A brand new event has also been added to Westside Daze this year, the West Kelowna Youth Ambassador Program. While future plans intend to hold the program over the course of Westside Daze, due to scheduling issues it was forced to take place on

June 13. The Youth Ambassador Program was open to Grade 9 to 11 students interested in being trained in many different skills. “You learn so much, especially the public speaking,” said Molly Buckberry, who was named West Kelowna Ambassador. “Some of my friends were really shy going into the program and they came out so changed as a person because they were so comfortable in their own skin and they learned so many confidence things.”

While many traditional skills such as cooking and interviewing were featured, some unexpected twists were thrown in, such as car mechanics. Brittany Osinga, first vice-ambassador and one of 10 youth who participated as pageant contestants, described why she was interested in participating. “I’ve mostly been into sports programs and music and when I heard about this on the Westside Daze webpage, it immediately sparked an

Paralyzed dirt biker feeling optimistic through recovery

Craft sales in park draws to a close

Kathy Michaels Kelowna resident Cole Cripwell was paralyzed from the waist down following a dirt biking accident earlier this month. Now, as the 21-yearold embarks on a journey of recovery, his friends and family are doing all they can to raise his spirits and the funds needed to help him on his way. Cole’s sister Brianna said her younger brother was in Summerland June 6, just beginning the day’s ride when he went off an unseen jump and hit a ramp facing the opposite way. He broke his back, and a rib that went on to puncture both of his lungs. He was rushed to Penticton Hospital, then Vancouver General Hospital. He’s now in rehab centre G.F. Strong. As of Thursday, Cole’s blood pressure stabilized enough that he is now able to sit upright in a chair and move around. He’s also started exercises to see where he is at and where he might be able to eventually go. “They are going to leave the rehab to him, to see where he can take it,” Brielle said. “He can decide what he’s capable of.” Her brother, she said, is stubborn and determined and if anyone can work

He’s also been remarkably optimistic. “He has friends visiting him all the time,” she said. “He’s always making jokes and laughing, and the nurses love him. “ Eventually he’s going to have to leave the rehab facility he’s at, however, and his family wants to be able to make life as workable as possible for him, thus the fundraising campaign. “We felt a little awkward putting it out there,” she said of the GoFundMe campaign. “But obviously the medical costs, house renovations and all the expenses will be high and every dollar helps.” The goal, from the family’s perspective, is to

do whatever it takes to let Cole have the best life he can. “He’s super active, and we want him to be able to maintain that lifestyle, no matter what condition he’s in,” she said. “We want to make sure there will be no limitations for him in life.” It’s what his friends are rooting for as well. Kerry Erickson, a longtime friend of Cole, said he’s been an inspiration throughout his hardship. “We went to the hospital in Vancouver, and he was so positive, smiling and making jokes,” Erickson said. “I feel totally inspired by how positive and strong he was. I hope with this crowd funding campaign there will be more opportunities for him to build a life that’s more normal. He’s only 21.” For more information go to the Go Fund Me page at http://www. gofundme.com/xp99hk8

Picking up trinkets while strolling through City Park will no longer be possible due to the cancellation of the Arts Alive! program. “It’s been on the horizon for quite some time,” said Renata Mills, of Festivals Kelowna, the organization that has been putting on the program that had vendors line the pathway to City Park. “The program has been slowly waning and our biggest challenge was the limited attendance and the lack of commitment by a good chunk of participating artists.” Around six vendors would faithfully set up shop on the strip, while others were much more sporadic. Members of that core group of vendors have expressed concerns that their main source of income has been flattened by the decision, and for that Mills said she’s regretful.

But the end of the vendor program is a reflection of the times. “The customer base started to wear away, too,” she said. “Nobody has money in their hands anymore.” The program was reviewed in 2014, and that’s when vendors were told that the end would come unless a significant change occurred. “We even threw extra resources at it last year as a last kick at the can,” she said, pointing out that they put musical acts and the likes into the park to get the traffic up. All efforts, however, were for naught. “At the end of the day, we need people to be there so we made the decision in early 2015 to shut it down,” she said. In its place a once-ayear market will be held. Festivals Kelowna will put on Arts on the Avenue—a one day festival showcasing visual artists and their wares. The 300 block of Bernard Avenue will be closed off for the event

from 5 to 10 p.m. Mills also pointed out that while it’s just a one-

Principals support keeping special needs students in the classroom To the editor: I wish to send a heartfelt thank you to our school principals who have bravely acknowledged parents’ concerns regarding the disruption caused by students with special needs in classrooms.

LETTER OF THE WEEK It is June and principals receive requests for next year’s placements from parents. Families ask that their child not be assigned to a class with little Johnny or Jane who has a special needs designation.

These concerned parents have made in clear to our principals that students with special needs do not belong in regular classrooms, as they diminish the quality of education for their classmates. I am proud of our principals as they model social justice, equality and integrity when they go back to these same concerned parents to assert that their school is an inclusive school. That in their inclusive school, all students have a right to have their social, emotional and cognitive needs met. I wish to thank our principals who struggle daily to stamp out bullying, stigma and social shunning by [some] parents. Donna Moore, Kelowna

Paris was blissful, especially the Parisians When I was in Paris visiting a friend earlier this month, we had an ongoing Kathartic joke. “It’s the people,” I’d say. “They’re the best kept secret of this city. ‘The KATHY Delightful People Of Paris’ should be MICHAELS the new tourism slogan, in case the old capital of gastronomy/city-oflights-thing wears thin.” She’d groan and ominously warn that I’d soon see. My awestruck-anglophone-in-Paris persona, she said, was shielding me from the true nature of Parisians. She knows a lot more about the topic than I do, given the city has been her home for the better part of a decade and she lives with two Parisian men— one of whom she gave birth to, so it’s not nearly as exciting as it sounds. The mythical monstrous Parisian, however, never revealed itself to me. Off the top of my head I can think of nearly a dozen times when people went out of their way to be friendly and accommodating. There were smiles and eye-contact galore, and people even laughed at my jokes. Not polite laughter, either. That’s not in their nature.

My favourite moment of all, however, was when my friend discovered a grey hair while we were waiting for the Metro, and started fretting. A woman, rounder and less finely dressed than the Parisian stereotype would have previously led me to believe existed, leaned in and said, ‘I’m 70, have many grey hairs, and I hope I get many more,” she said, as a smile warmed her entire face. Chic personified, non? Maybe I’m still high on crepes, croissants and culture, but no matter how hard I try to be critical, all I can say is that Paris is perfection. So much so that I think there are a few things the people of Kelowna could learn. We can’t have the history, the architecture or delicious unpasteurized butter, but we can borrow from the culture. My first France-inspired recommendation is that we convert every third business to a bakery. That alone would cure a few community ills. If we were all eating more really phenomenal baked goods, there would be less incentive to walk around

city streets in little more than a bikini. Now I know near-nudity is Kelowna’s cachet, but I dream of a day when being clothed becomes the norm. Next, I’d like to suggest that all restaurants with patios dispense with the formality of facing chairs at each other. Paris cafés have all their chairs facing toward the street, dispensing with the illusion that people sit on patios to do anything other than people watch. It’s gloriously honest. Lastly—those people. Notoriously one of the most brusque cultures in the world showed more warmth in one week than I’ve seen in months in Kelowna. It’s tourist season, and I know that wears thin. We as residents of a tourist town want people to drive better, walk in a straight line and generally get out of the way. But, frankly, there’s something wonderful about others learning to love what we already understand to be so great. That, I think, is the allowance the Parisians I met gave me and I will forever be a fan because of it. Kathy Michaels is a Capital News reporter. @KelownaNewsKat

POLITICS AS USUAL

Try These!

Changing politicians won’t change game To the editor: Einstein once described insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. So it is with elections in this country. Every few years, we get tired of those men and women who had previously been elected to represent the best interests of the rest of us men and women. Why? Because, we continue to fall for the same old bunch of unfulfilled promises and exaggerated claims made by those same individuals, some of whom we now want to turf into the political

abyss—with their inflated pensions of course. However, the real problem is believing that changing the players in the game, the game of politics, which is nothing more than the fine art of bribing you with your own money, will change things for the better. Unfortunately, the real issue is not the changing of the players, it is the game itself that needs to be changed. And that is not likely to happen any time soon until the majority of us see the game for what it really is and demand that it be changed.(The current Senate fiasco, and the structure of the

Senate itself, is just one example.) The game is flawed, it has been corrupted, and continues to be corrupt therefore, it is far from perfect. Of course, there are those who say that “nothing’s perfect,” and they are correct, but we can move much closer to perfection if we recognize the many imperfections in the game we are immersed in now. Until that happens, don’t expect anything to change at all, no matter who gets elected. Grant Baudais, Kelowna

The Bal’s good name has been ill-served To the editor: Re: Second Public Hearing For Controversial Café, Capital News, June 17. The Bal family, owners of the so-called “controversial café” at Hillcrest Farms, filed precise, documented evidence with the City of Kelowna and council for a first public hearing, June 15, 2015. That hearing was deferred until June 30, to look at re-zoning and obtaining a business license for the café. Close examination of the documents will illuminate the exhausting bureaucratic frustration, and changing goal posts, endured by the owners for far too long. It is like peeling back the rotting layers of an onion. The Bal’s documentation is a searing indictment of how changing goal posts, bureaucratic semantics and selective interpretation of rules, extend far beyond what on the surface appears to be a simple application for rezoning and obtaining a business license. It’s simply not that simple. Elected officials are held to a high standard. It is fair to say that those appearing before council have a democratic right to expect a fair, balanced, impartial, unbiased and non-prejudicial hearing on all matters and evidence before council. This is in keeping with a councillors’ Oath of Public Office, which mandates their duties be performed faithfully and with integrity.

But can the Bal family truly expect to receive a fair, balanced, impartial, unbiased and non-prejudicial hearing? Has the integrity and stewardship of public office already been compromised in their case? Council as a whole, or individual councilors, have no right to impugn the character of an individual or their family, and it’s particularly egregious and toxic when done publicly. Coun. Charlie Hodge, who voted against holding the first public hearing as well as the second public hearing, is quoted yet again in The Kelowna Capital News as stating in a comment that was rich with targeted bias, that the move to hold a second hearing appeared to him to “reward bad behaviour.” Coun. Hodge’s inflammatory comments, which are short on specifics and long on innuendo, can have far-reaching consequences and serve to ignite the fires of public antipathy for those who are not privy to the details surrounding the case, and who subsequently blog unkindly about something they do not fully understand. To willfully place this well known, honourable family and their quest in a deceitful light, can only serve to publicly impugn the good character and integrity of the Bal family, and call into question just how fair, unbiased, impartial and non-

prejudicial Coun. Hodge can be. The Office of the Mayor and system at large have never publicly disavowed such-ill advised character assassination, and should also be called into account for what Coun. Hodge’s non-benign comments represent. Silence is not golden. The Bal’s good name has been ill-served by the City of Kelowna, as their welldocumented information presented to the city makes clear to truth seekers. Their truth is a fluid news story of great magnitude and their saga will be the catalyst for change within the farming community. This story of what the Bal’s have endured, and the recriminations surrounding their quest, will prevail long after the second hearing. Perhaps if there is any reward for bad behaviour it is that the taxpayers he represents pay Coun. Hodge, and he uses the media and his official position to blight the reputations of these outstanding community members appearing before him. This demonstrates that he is prejudiced and far from unbiased in determining outcomes that can affect a farming family’s future, and, by extension, it calls into question the integrity of the hearing(s) overall. Sandra Craig, Kelowna

It’s time for Harper to go play golf Open letter to Prime Minister Harper: Please include a free vote for all Canadians in the form of a country-wide referendum regarding whether we abolish the corrupt Senate system and let Canadians decide if we should change the way we elect our MPs and prime minister to Ottawa, let us have a proportional electoral system. Let us face the future, you will not be elected again with a majority. I believe Canadians have had a belly full of your

behaviour. This old English system of giving your old buddies a nice seat in the Senate and allowing them to set their own spending rates is not good enough anymore. Canadians are not afraid of change, especially for the good of taxpayers. Give it a go Stephen, you have nothing to lose, your huge lifetime pension, medical and dental is secure. You can go play golf with Chretien and Mulroney on the “loser’s golf course.” Canadians will not miss you. Maybe

Incorporating a community not all it’s cracked up to be To the editor: Further to the letter from Edna Thiessen in the June 17 Capital News (Disgruntled Residents Are Not Majority). We lived and paid taxes in Lake Country since 1967. After it was incorporated, taxes started to rise at a very quick pace but the quality of service never changed. The only changes were a very expensive city hall was built and very well paid CUPE workers were hired to lean on shovels. The CUPE members just recently signed a

contract with a eight per cent wage increase and time off with pay for ‘’unforeseen circumstances.’’ All this and a $15 million debt! Trust me, taxes are far less here and the service is the same. Anyone who is trying to incorporate Ellison must have their own private agenda and I wish you nothing but failure. Dave Ulvaan, Lake Country

OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Their family’s connection to Okanagan College goes back more than 50 years. And through a donation to the new Trades Training Complex at the Kelowna campus, Cliff and Lois Serwa are helping the college build for the next 50. The Serwas have given $50,000 to the Bright Horizons Building for Skills fundraising campaign behind the $33-million renovation and expansion of the College’s trades training facilities in Kelowna. The donation will support the construction of a state-of-the-art classroom space in the new three-storey tower along KLO Road. “This community has been good to us and we’re very proud to be able to give back and

support an institution that continues to have such a far reaching impact on students from all walks of life in the Okanagan,” said Cliff. “Whether it’s supporting students fresh out of high school, or mature students, or single parents going back to school to find employment so they can support their families, the opportunities Okanagan College creates valleywide are truly invaluable.” Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton says community support for the campaign, in addition to topping up the provincial government’s investment of $28 million for construction of the new building, is also helping the college create new awards, bursaries and other support for trades

students per year who will train in this new facility. “And with a provincial skills gap projected across much of the trades sector over the next five years, this new facility will help bridge that gap.” Cliff is known for cofounding Big White Ski resort and for his work as a political figure in British Columbia. He represented Okanagan South from 1986 to 1991 and Okanagan West from 1991 to 1996 as a provincial MLA, and served in the cabinet as environment minister. Their granddaughter Kelsey Serwa is a worldclass freestyle skier; she won a silver medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. The Serwas’ support of students at the college goes beyond the trades. In 2007, they established an annual bursary for students enrolled in the early childhood education program. “Having worked around the trades, I can certainly appreciate the importance of formal training, now more than ever, as the trades become increasingly technical,” noted Serwa. “But on a broader level, the college offers students—young and old—so many avenues to better their lives through education.” “The value of a gift lies not in its price but in its potential,”added Lois.

Solar panels power up local campus Okanagan College has activated B.C.’s second largest solar panel system at its Kelowna campus, taking another large step towards its ambitious goal of seeking to be energy net zero by 2025. “With the longer and sunnier summer days upon us, we’re thrilled to have the solar panels up and running,” said Peter Csandl, manager, operations and energy systems at Okanagan College. “Imagine the electricity consumed by 26 homes annually. That’s the equivalent power the system is anticipated to provide the campus.” The college is now benefiting from 793 solar photovoltaic module panels, which cover the top of the new outdoor training space at the Kelowna Trades Complex. The outdoor shop was built as part of the Trades Training Complex renovation and expansion project currently underway along KLO Road. The 194 kW electrical solar photovoltaic array system is the second largest in the province, only slightly smaller than the 258 kW system built on top of the LEED Platinum certified Jim Pattison Centre of Excellence at the college’s Penticton campus. The array is part of the college’s larger sustainability plan that includes seeking LEED certification for its buildings and striving for the esteemed Living Building Challenge standards. Achieving energy net zero will require the college to produce as much energy as is consumed; the college is targeting to reduce its net carbon emissions by 80 tons per year, and is already well underway. From 2007 to 2013, the college successfully reduced its energy consumption per square meter by 32.2 per cent. “There is the misconception that energy efficient systems can be cost prohibitive, but that is not the case,” explained Csandl. “In three short years, working with Skyfire Energy, we’ve seen a 40 per cent reduction in the cost of the installation of our solar panels.” Csandl credits the maturing of the industry for this, including increased demand and production, as well as advances in the application of innovative technology. Solar photovoltaic modules are made of crystalline silicon, the same material used in a circuit board, and mounted on an aluminum frame. They have a glass front to protect them from the elements, while letting light in. Placed in sunlight, they produce direct current electricity (similar to a battery), which then goes into an inverter before being converted to electricity used by the buildings. They are durable, with relatively low cleaning and maintenance requirements.

FAMILY WRITING AFFAIR

Mom and daughter create literary life expressions

Sawyer Klassen

which were a lot of odds to beat, all of us can do it too.” Book signings will

Mother and daughter Janet and Jenny Wamsley will be in Kelowna this week for two simultaneous book signings. Jenny’s book is a young adult fiction novel called Dysnomia, Outsiders on a Distant Moon, while her mother’s book, titled The Autistic Author and Animator: A Mother’s View of a Daughter’s Triumph, is about Jenny’s life with autism. Janet’s book covers everything from Jenny’s diagnosis up to where she is now, as a 22 yearold author and 2D and 3D animator. When Janet first began to think about writing the book, she asked her daughter if she was OK with it, explaining that bearing your life for the world to see isn’t an easy thing to do, particularly for a young adult. “That definitely made me uncomfortable and was scary,” Jenny recalled. “That’s my story and people out there can be cruel and mean and you don’t want to share some things. “But as I told my mom, if it could help one family with their special needs then I’m OK with it.” The autistic author and animator is a positive, encouraging story about a young woman who has exceeded all of the expectations put before her. “These two novels show her journey and battle with autism, and how she went through the trenches and her school was like a war Now you can use the Internet to add your own non-profit event to the Capital News Stuff to Do.

I want them to say, ‘Hey, I can do this,’ and then go accomplish their dreams

and not be told what they can or can’t do. “So it makes me happy that I’m giving people inspiration and making them feel better about themselves and that’s what I want to do.” While an author penning a book about their experiences with an obstacle or issue is hardly uncommon, the two Wamsleys are providing something unique as readers not only get to read about Jenny, but then have the chance to learn more about her themselves through reading her novel. “The reason we wanted to do it together was because when people read my book first and read about Jenny’s life history, then they see this amazing book that she’s written and how cool it is, it’s just the

scenario behind it all,” Janet said. “What a feel good, heart-warming, raw, true inspiring story for people to read, and not only about her life but this novel that she’s written.” Jenny began writing her story while she was in high school, and in May both books were released with Jenny’s quickly becoming an Amazon Best Seller. As Dysnomia is the first book of a planned trilogy, Jenny noted she has begun to work on book two but it will take a bit of a backseat as she begins animation for a movie in September. “It reveals that it can happen, and not only for people with autism, but for all of us,” Janet described. “If a young girl can like this can beat the odds,

Knee Arthritis and Knee Injuries Successfully Treated by Shockwave Therapy

hether you are an athlete, in your golden years of retirement, or the typical person on your feet all day at work, you know there’s nothing more debilitating than a knee injury. Knee injuries have many faces and causes and these three groups of people are susceptible to the same injuries but from different causes. Tendon injuries are the most common: Iliotibial band syndrome (pain on the outside of the knee); Patellar tendonitis (pain below the knee); and hamstring injuries (leading to pain in the back of the knee). As well, arthritis plagues many and often results in knee replacement surgery. And unfortunately, many knee surgery patients (due to ligament or cartilage tears) frequent our office.

tendon, binding the knee and often creating soft tissue pain. For the past four years I have been using Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) to treat these conditions, because shockwave therapy breaks down scar tissue and stimulates blood vessel growth to restore muscle function and promote healing. The Journal of Surgical Research 2012 showed ESWT is effective in preventing knee arthritis. In The American Journal Of Sports Medicine 2007, 90% showed significant improvement in patellar tendonitis. Furthermore, The Archives of Orthopedic Trauma Surgery 2007 showed significant reduction in the progression of knee arthritis (ESWT stimulates cells to produce cartilage). Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic

Each of these injuries comes with its own set of obstacles when treating with conventional methods: tendonitis can create fibrous adhesions and scar tissue that disrupts the normal function of the muscle; arthritis erodes the cartilage, decreasing the joint space; and surgery, although often necessary, creates scar tissue on the surrounding muscle and

Negotiating a settlement difficult without legal advice Negotiating an injury claim directly with an insurance adjuster can feel intimidating. It should. You are facing a seasoned fencer, the likes of Inigo Montoya in The Princess Bride who dedicated his life to the study of fencing so as to avenge the death of his father in a duel with “the six-fingered man.” In his hand is a magnificent sword. Not so bad if you are the “man in black”, with even more impressive training, armed with a similarly impressive sword. You are not, though. You stand there bravely like the Black Knight in Monty Python’s The Holy Grail, claiming to have “but a scratch” after his arm is lopped off. Your negotiating position is hampered by two critical factors: One, you don’t know what amount of financial compensation for your injuries and losses would be fair; two, you have no means to force that compensation out of ICBC. Without having a clear negotiation goal, and holding a wet noodle instead of a sword, you are basically “cap in hand” hoping that ICBC will voluntarily provide a fair offer. It doesn’t matter how brilliant a negotiator you might be. With such an impossibly weak negotiating position, you haven’t got a hope. If you follow my

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT advice, a relatively new ICBC tactic could result in less, instead of more, unfairness in the settlement of injury claims. The tactic involves the use of a document ICBC calls a Claim Payment Proposal. The way it works is that you and the ICBC adjuster have your negotiation to the point of reaching ICBC’s highest, best offer. Instead of requiring you to sign away your legal rights, which is something that might push you over whatever threshold held you back from consulting a lawyer, the insurance settlement amount would have no strings attached. All you have to do is to sign the claim payment proposal form, the only legal effect of which is to acknowledge receipt of the money. The wording of the form carries on the charade that ICBC tries to portray in the negotiation of personal injury claims, i.e. the charade that they are being fair with you. The form even starts with the words: “This payment is being tendered by ICBC as a fair and reasonable assessment of the abovenoted claim.” It is the cherry on the

top of the ice cream sundae that they have been building since their very first discussion with you about a settlement. You are told a lawyer would be unnecessary and that they have bent over backwards to try to keep you happy, to not give you any cause to seek legal advice. It is the culmination of mass marketing of their brand “Building trust, driving confidence,” that we all pay for with our insurance premiums. I find it so offensive that they don’t tell people the truth—such as when negotiating your claim they are doing so not as your insurance company, but as the insurance company defending the negligent driver who caused your injuries and who is likely completely unaware of your ongoing symptoms. My advice? Sign the form and cash the cheque. Then, please simply spend the hour it will take for you to have a free consultation with a seasoned fencer armed with a gleaming sword, a consultation that can occur by telephone from the comfort of your living room couch.

Guisachan flower show treat The Kelowna Garden Club hosts the annual Flower Show at Guisachan Heritage Gardens on Saturday, June 27. This is one of my favourite events of the year, when gardeners of all ages and experience can enter a favourite flower from their garden. Even if you don’t participate, it is always fun to see all the great exhibits, take in the many demos and just enjoy the beauty of the gardens themselves which have been lovingly restored to reflect the many years of stewardship Elaine Cameron performed for many years. To enter something in the show, you need to know a few simple rules and be knowledgeable about the various classes and categories. To get up to speed on this, just go to the Kelowna Garden Club website (kelownagardenclub.ca) and click on the Juried Flower Show icon. You will see a place where you can bring up a printable flyer explaining everything you need to know about entering. Category 1—Cut Flowers with 21 classes. Included in this are roses, Sweet William, Pansies, Clematis and other in season flowers. There is also an open class where anything not formally listed can be entered which is where last year I entered one of my white Magnolia grandiflora blossoms. Category 2—Floral Art. There are

From The Ground Up DON BURNETT 13 classes in this category including Grandma’s Teapot—an exhibit of mixed flowers and greenery in a teapot and The Magic of Leaves— an exhibit of different kinds of foliage only. Category 3—Potted Plants and Flowers, which has six classes including Patio Party—patio container featuring flowering plants and greenery, grasses and accessories allowed and Secret Fairy Garden—a miniature garden using small plants and greenery. Must feature a fairy and may include accessories. There is also a category for children to participate and what a joy it is to see the young people’s imagination come forward with Toy Shop—an exhibit of flowers or plants in a toy. Along with the juried flower show, there will be arts and craft displays and demonstrations throughout the day with Janice Henry and a bevy of Master Gardeners to answer your gardening questions available all day. As I have done for the past few

years, I will take you for a walk through the garden and talk about the days when I was a youngster growing up just down the street spending many a happy time exploring the Guisachan Ranch and getting to know the Cameron family. This will happen at 1:30 p.m. Kelowna is indeed blessed to have this property preserved for us to enjoy year-round and attending this Saturday’s show is a great way to introduce you to its beauty and history. The property is owned by the City of Kelowna and is maintained by the Central Okanagan Heritage Society. If you wish to help with the gardening as a volunteer, the COHS welcomes your support. For information regarding the show call Judy (250-861-5010) or Alicja (250-717-0570). Exhibits must be brought to the between 8 and 9:15 a.m. and the judging will take place at 9:30 a.m. The garden show open to the public at 11 a.m. There is no entry fee nor are there any fees to have your plants or flowers in the juried show. I am looking forward to seeing you all there. Tune in to The Don Burnett Garden Show on AM 1150 News Talk Sports Saturday mornings from 8 to 10 a.m.

news _____________________________________________________________________ REGIONAL DISTRICT

Rural resident discontent reaches North Westside Richard Rolke Contributor

North Westside residents are being urged to take pen to paper to push for governance changes. The North Westside Communities Association currently has three petitions circulating that will be presented to the Regional District of Central Okanagan for consideration. “People are tired that everything (taxes) goes up without any explanation of the reason,” said Bob Andrews, NWCA president. One of the petitions calls for RDCO to initiate an incorporation study for the North Westside while the other petitions demand a stronger community voice and a review of water options. About 100 people attended a recent town hall meeting to discuss the relationship with RDCO. “The vast majority sitting there are unhappy with how money is spent and how our director gets outvoted every time,” said Andrews, adding that he believes it is difficult to obtain information from RDCO. “People want to know the cost for an employee or the cost of power. They want to know if regional district staff are efficient.” Wayne Carson, a long-

time resident who has been North Westside director since November, isn’t surprised by the petition campaigns. “People aren’t happy with conditions as they are. They want a voice in their local affairs,” he said. “It all comes back to governance and authority over tax dollars.” However, Carson won’t say if he supports municipal incorporation as a feasibility study is required to look at the pros and cons. “You don’t jump off a cliff. There’s a process to follow,” he said. Regional district officials attended the town hall meeting hosted by the community Association. “If was democracy in action. We heard a lot of concerns and it is good for us to engage directly with residents,” said Brian Reardon, the district’s chief administrative officer. However, Reardon insists RDCO’s two rural directors (the other is for Joe Rich/Ellison) have a voice at the board table. “When you look at the resolutions, especially from January until now, I count 23 resolutions that area directors made or seconded that the board supported,” he said. Some North Westside residents have suggested that the community

should take direct control over the water system because of dissatisfaction with RDCO operations. However, Reardon says there are few options for that to occur. “It’s a regional district asset managed on their (residents) behalf. If the community wants direct control over the utility, they would have to incorporate,” he said. ••• The North Westside’s former director says he

represented residents to the best of his ability. Jim Edgson, who retired in November, had expenses of $8,864, according to the 2014 statement of financial information from the Regional District of Central Okanagan. “Most of it is for driving but I also attended conferences and training sessions for electoral area directors,” he said. Among his regular duties were attending

meeting with Okanagan Regional Library and the Southern Interior Beetle Action Coalition. “I also felt it was part of my responsibility to get up to date on legal matters,” he said. “To the benefit of constituents, I also decided that I could work with senior government and get things done.” Beyond expenses, Edgson had remuneration of $21,015 in 2014. “I certainly wasn’t in it

for the money and I was excited to serve people,” he said. One-third of local government officials’ salary is non-taxable and Edgson says he put that money into a fund for community activities. “People would come to me and up to $600, I’d write a cheque. There was the fire department, the soccer club and for awhile, I helped the farmers market,” he said. Among other RDCO

board members, former chairperson Robert Hobson had remuneration of $37,863 and expenses of $6,353 while Lake Country director James Baker had a salary of $15,113 and expenses of $617. RDCO had total staff salaries of $8.2 million and expenses of $174,967 last year. Reardon led the pack with a wage of $176,414 and expenses of $9,069.

With careful selection and placement, shrubs can be used to create a very easy-care, beautiful landscape. The plant database at okanaganxeriscape.org provides a useful guide to select plants appropriate for Okanagan landscape conditions and desired features. First, read the database explanation page for information about the 23 search categories. Begin by selecting plant type and conditions of light, water, and hardiness zone. Note: All shrubs need regular watering until established. Group shrubs with similar water needs together or use drip

Gardening With Nature GWEN STEELE irrigation with different emitters to accommodate variation. Factors to consider: Size: Space plants so they can grow to mature size without crowding other plants, or walkways, buildings and fences. Ensure the mature height won’t block a window or desired view or run into power lines or clothesline. Planting for mature size will minimize pruning,

saving time and reducing yard waste debris disposal. Empty spaces can be planted with perennials or ornamental grasses that can be transplanted elsewhere as shrubs mature. Bloom time: Choose shrubs with different bloom times. Most have a two to four week blooming period in spring. Some varieties of Potentilla fruiticosa and Rugosa rose bloom in spring and fall or continuously. Caryopteris ‘Dark Knight’ (Bluebeard) is an attractive five by

five foot silver-leaved shrub, smothered in vibrant blue flowers in August and September. It attracts many different pollinators. Foliage: Foliage colour and texture are important for interest throughout the growing season. Choose from burgundy, golden/chaurtreuse, silver/ grey, variegated, many shades of green and evergreen. Burgundy shrubs are in big demand. Waterwise ones include some varieties of berberis, ninebark, and smoke bush. Winter appearance: There will be year round, unchanging colour

from evergreens such as dwarf Mugo pines, globe blue spruce, yew and juniper varieties. Also consider the bare branch structure and bark of deciduous shrubs. Mature ninebarks and beauty bush have interesting peeling bark. Special features: To attract more birds into the garden, select some shrubs from the special feature ‘food for birds.’ There are also categories for shrubs that attract hummingbirds or butterflies. Erosion control and spreader categories include plants with spreading and/or suckering roots. For example, GrowLow Sumac is a very effective, extremely drought tolerant and weed smothering ground cover shrub. Design ideas: Use shrubs with different bloom times and foliage colours to create an interesting informal hedge. Shrubs can add year round structure and a background in large plantings of perennials.

GWEN STEELE/CONTRIBUTOR

Choosing water-wise shrubs

Euonymous ‘Emerald Gaiety’ is an attractive, low, semi-evergreen shrub. Although known to climb if a support is provided, it’s ascent up the trunk of this honey locust tree is an unexpected treat. Never do scatter-gun plantings of individual shrubs or trees in a lawn. This creates mowing challenges and more edges to trim. A well-mulched mixed planting of different shrubs can create a very attractive, low maintenance alternative to lawn. With an overall design, it could begin as a small area and gradually

be added to as more lawn is removed. An interesting ‘secret garden’ could be made with meandering pathways that lead through a mixed planting of large shrubs and small trees (e.g. Amur maple) to a secluded sitting area. Gwen Steele is executive director of the Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

MIGRAINE HEADACHES

<In the past 10 years I suffered a lot with migraines. I would take four popular pain killers and none of them worked well enough. After I found MIGRAID, I was blown away because it really worked within 30 minutes with no side effects. I’m totally amazed. Absolutely floored. Michelle Woodman, 29, Crystal Falls, ON <I was in the hospital for two weeks. They performed tests including MRIs, tried every drug they had. Nothing worked. I was praying to die. My mom found MIGRAID in the health food store. It worked in ten minutes. I couldn’t believe it. I want to express my gratitude. Christy Logue, 32, Tulsa, OK < For fifteen years I tried all the OTCs as well as prescription drugs that were a lot more expensive than MIGRAID. I was pleasantly surprised at how effective it was every time within 30 minutes. Maranca Daniels, 42, Murfreesboro, TN < Guarantee printed on all boxes. Must help within 30 minutes or money refunded.

Working to end violence against women and girls As a father of three grown daughters, I proudly support the action our federal government has taken to end all forms of violence against women and girls, including murdered and missing Aboriginal women and girls. It was our government that established the special committee on missing and murdered aboriginal women in 2013. And it was our government, under the strong leadership of Minister of Status of Women Kellie Leitch, that responded to the committee’s findings in its report Invisible Women: A Call to Action by announcing Canada’s Action Plan to Address Family Violence and Violent Crimes against Aboriginal Women and Girls. Our government has invested millions of dollars in community-based projects which support preventing and ending violence against women and girls. Those efforts include funding programs and

RON CANNAN services that support victims, improving community safety by giving law enforcement the tools to fight crimes that target women and girls such as online exploitation and human trafficking, providing matrimonial rights for women on reserve, and strengthening the capacity of the criminal justice system through tougher penalties for violent crimes. The stark reality is that women and girls continue to face violence and exploitation in their homes, schools, workplaces, online and on the streets. Statistics show that one in three women in Canada will experience sexual assault at some point in their lives, especially young women between the ages of 15 and 24. That is why in May,

I was pleased to invite local organizations to participate in a roundtable discussion to seek out ways we as a community can work together on to end exploitation and violence against women and girls in Kelowna and Lake Country. My co-hosts were the Kelowna Women’s Shelter and MP Joy Smith, a longtime advocate for the protection of women and girls. The feedback was positive and the work that is being done by local organizations is outstanding. As my colleague Joy Smith noted: “Creating a society in which violence against women is no longer tolerated will take ongoing commitment and continuous dialogue.” Adding to that was Karen Mason, executive director of the Kelowna Women’s Shelter: “Exploitation and violence against women and girls are complex, multilayered issues which require a collaborative

our society, requiring cooperation and vigilance by all levels of government, law enforcement, communities and families.

Paddleboard Swimming for youth initiative honoured fundraiser for brain injury prevention ACROSS THE LAKE SWIM SOCIETY

During the Doctors of B..C Awards Ceremony held in Vancouver earlier this month, the Across the Lake Swim Society received the Doctor of BC’s Excellence in Health Promotion Award for their commitment to funding the YMCA Okanagan Swims program. “This is a significant achievement,” said Dr. Mark Fromberg, a local physician and president of the Across the Lake Swim Society. “This award shows that doctors across the province recognize the impact this program has on the health and wellbeing of our next generation. “Along with the YMCA of Okanagan, we want to make sure every child has the opportunity to learn the basic swim skills necessary to stay safe in and around the water.” The YMCA Okanagan

Swims program provides free swim lessons to all children in Grade 3 throughout the Central Okanagan School District. It covers their transportation to and from school providing kids with three 90-minute sessions with 45 minutes of individual instruction and 45 minutes of water activity to give them the chance to master basic skills in the water. Some 500 Canadians drown each year. With the abundance of water sources in the Okanagan and with drowning being the second leading cause of death for children under the age of 10, the YMCA Okanagan Swims program addresses an important need in our community. The Across the Lake Swim Society and the YMCA of Okanagan have a collective goal

Dr. Mark Fromberg (left) and Peter Rudd with the Across the Lake Swim Society, along with Randall Wight, senior aquatics manager for the Okanagan YMCA, at this month’s Doctors of BC Awards ceremony held in Vancouver. to increase the number of kids accessing swim instruction every year. “We hope this program will eventually support other grades in the Okanagan and possibly provincewide,” said

Randall Wight, senior aquatics manager at the Okanagan YMCA. of Okanagan. “The more kids we help, the healthier our communities will be.” Visit ymcaokanagan.ca

Pickleball fastest growing sport in Kelowna

For a sport that began in Kelowna with only a handful of players, handmade nets and a name that, well that seemed kind of odd, pickleball has really taken off in the city. There are now 400 members in the Pickleball Kelowna Club that play on 12 dedicated pickleball courts. They’ve raised money for new courts and for charities in town. And now the club will play host to the 2015 Canadian Pickleball Western Championships in Kelowna from July 10 to 12. “Not only has this club brought new life to hundreds of residents in Kelowna but it has

been very active in the community,” wrote club member Jim Saunders.

…more of the younger age bracket are taking the game up as it is being taught in some schools. Jim Saunders

“Recently the club donated $1,100 to the food bank, raised $10,000 to help pay for the additional six courts and this tournament in July is partnering with the Parkinson Society of B.C. to bring more awareness to this disease.” Like a variation of

In Kelowna it began as a way for older players to get out and remain active as the smaller courts kept mobility to a minimum, compared to tennis or racquetball. But since it arrived in Kelowna and has surged

“Although it is a given that the majority of players are of 50-plus age, the best players in North America are under the age of 30 and more and more of the younger age bracket are taking the game up as it is being taught in some schools,” said Saunders.

Buddies Merkley ,Gatenby enter NHL Draft together

Kevin Parnell

kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

When the Kelowna Rockets made Nick Merkley and Joe Gatenby their first and second round bantam picks in 2012, they not only grabbed two top prospects, but two close friends who had been pushing each other on the ice from the time they first put on skates. Gatenby and Merkley first played together in spring hockey in Calgary

Nick Merkley

Joe Gatenby

when they were six-yearsold: They battled each other in different minor hockey organizations during the year, then joined together in spring

hockey at the end of each season. Now the pair are among hundreds of young hockey players, including a few other

Rockets’ teammates, that could be drafted in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft to be held Friday and Saturday. Merkley is a lock and is expected to be a first round pick, while Gatenby is seen by some as a sleeper with great defensive skill and was ranked 174th in the NHL Central Scouting year-end rankings. “I’m pretty lucky to have a friend like Nick,” said Gatenby, after an early morning workout at Prospera Place this week.

“Even when we got to Kelowna we were the only 16-year-olds on the team. We had to stick together. For us it’s been exciting. We’ve been able to help each other and even when we were young we were able to push each other. When we were younger he would never stop moving, never stop working. He was so competitive and I’ve always loved battling with him.” The minor hockey connection ended when

Gatenby was in Grade 8 and he and his family moved to Kelowna to play two years at the Pursuit of Excellence before making the Rockets as a 16-yearold. During his rookie season ice time was at a premium for Gatenby but that only served to help his development. “I came into a situation that was pretty unique because the Rockets were so strong,” said Gatenby, an excellent student who was the Rockets academic

award winner this year as well as the WHL Western Conference nominee for scholastic player of the year. “I really had to battle for my ice time. I really learned how to play an extremely sound defensive game in order to get minutes,” said Gatenby, who graduated from KSS this spring. “This year I had a bigger role and at the end I think I was looked at as

The Kelowna Kodiaks mini tykes celebrate a successful weekend at the Jean Andre Lacrosse Tournament last weekend in Coquitlam. The Kodiaks earned two wins and a tie, beating Coquitlam and Surrey on Saturday. On Sunday the top Coquitlam team had to come back to tie the tenacious Kodiaks.

The West Kelowna Warriors continue to tinker with their line-up. A week after acquiring a new goaltender, the Warriors have traded for defenceman Tyler Anderson, 19, and future considerations from the Kindersley Klippers of the SJHL in exchange for forward Josh Bly, also 19. Anderson, who hails from Niverville, Manitoba, had three goals and eight assists in 48 games this season. The 6’4, 200 pound rearguard picked up 95 penalty minutes. “We’re adding a quality defenseman with Tyler,” said Warriors GM/ head coach Rylan Ferster. “He is a big body that will play some quality minutes for our team.” Bly will be returning to Saskatchewan where he lit up the Midget league in 2013/2014. He registered 65 points in 41 games that season, while putting up 40 points the

Royals of the BC Major Midget League most recently. “We would like to thank Josh for his time with the hockey club, and wish him the best of luck in the SJHL,” added Ferster.

That’s all I have been doing since I was a little kid,” he said. Gatenby and Merkley aren’t the only Rockets who will be paying special attention at the NHL Draft. Other Rockets could also be drafted including defenceman Devante Stephens who was ranked 116th in the final central scouting rankings and will likely draw plenty of attention. The 6-foot-1 defenceman from Surrey made huge strides in development after missing almost a full year of midget hockey due to injury. And European import Tomas Soustal is also on the radar after his rookie season with the Rockets. Soustal had a solid tournament at the Memorial Cup and the 6-foot-3 forward from the Czech Republic has also drawn attention from scouts.

Among his musical repertoire, Farmer’s Song, Down by the Henry Moore, Whispering Rain and Sweeping the Spotlight Away are now considered Canadian standards. During his entertainment career, McLauchlan has also been a painter, an author, an actor and a radio talk show host, sporting a biography of accomplishment befitting someone who has been appointed to The Order of Canada. “As a songwriter I know that it’s not enough to sit in your kitchen and write. Your songs need to be heard,” McLauchlan said. “Music is a communicative art and if it isn’t brought in front of people there is no way to tell if that end has been met. I like to think of a concert tour as a kind of roving gallery to test your art and your ideas. “I try to do my very best to make it worthwhile for folks to be there and to perhaps look at things in a new way when they leave.” And this, in a nutshell, is the Murray McLauchlan concert experience.

His list of favourite cities includes both Paris and Vancouver, which both play prominent roles in his new book. Richard now spends half his time living in Kelowna, and heads south during the winter. ART EXHIBIT Pieces OF What outdoor exhibit starts Friday, July 3 Kelowna Art Gallery 1315 Water St. What most people might consider trash or garbage actually forms the basis for a new work by two local artists. Pieces Of What incorporates all sorts of waste in an intriguing outdoor installation at the Kelowna Art Gallery. The installation is the third in the art gallery’s Artist’s Garden Project series, mounted in the Rotary Courtyard space. Vernon-based artists Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante and her adult son Maxwell Sterry have collaborated to create a piece that features three tall translucent columns strung with brightly painted red, yellow, and orange spherical objects made from clean trash. Visitors will no doubt see some familiar objects in the debris collected at the base of the columns or in the various articles captured and suspended mid-air. At the edges of the courtyard space (surrounding the columns in the centre) are selfirrigating containers painted in vibrant colours and planted with vegetables and fruits. At the end of the growing season, visitors will be welcome to harvest the produce. Whether pondering environmental themes, the architectural elements, or simply reveling in the strangeness of the show, guests are invited to sit and contemplate the installation on two simple benches, also made from recycled materials.

Across the painted expanse of blue water one sees the familiar dry hills of the Okanagan and a beautiful clear sky.

And wildlife art today has a huge established audience and market. The skills required and the great length of time invested in completing this sort of work are values that are understood and appreciated by a non-art person, as much as by an art professional.

Dynjandi, which means “thunderous” in Icelandic, is one of the country’s most powerful waterfalls. It is one of a series of seven waterfalls that spans nearly 330 feet.

Iceland’s Westfjords a land of sweeping vistas contributor

WESTFJORDS, Iceland—It’s hard to say what’s a greater wonder: The remote treasures of this country’s northwest region, or the fact that so few tourists ever visit. It takes an adventurous spirit and a bit of planning to map out this road trip to the upper reaches of the planet, a roughly sixhour drive from the Nordic island country’s capital, Reykjavik, but the reward is an endless and largely isolated panorama of nature easily accessible by car only part of the year. My beau, Dillon, our friend Justin and I visited the Westfjords last month, just before the start of the summer season when snow and ice patches still covered some roads and a few remained impassable. After three days in Reykjavik, our rental arrived: an SUV with four-wheel drive and snow tires with studs for extra traction. The guy who handed us the keys asked where we were headed and looked dubious when we answered. A friend who visited Iceland

springs so remote you have to ask for directions drew us south. This stretch along the fjords proved more treacherous. At one point as we climbed, the scene was almost totally white, with mountains of untouched snow and a milky sky interrupted only by the occasional power line. Alarmingly, the path began to blend into our surroundings, too. Occasionally a giant plow truck would hug the side of the road to allow us passage. During one white-knuckle ascent, a wall of packed snow maybe 10 feet high towered to our right and a steep slope lay perilously close on the left. There were few guard rails. Neither was the way back a breeze. We crept down, and as the ocean came into view, we met a sedan (a sedan!) charging up the mountain— likely a local accustomed to these serpentine roads. When we rounded another fjord and saw Dynjandi in the distance, we exploded in laughter. From our view, it appeared completely still. We’d come so far for what looked to be a

frozen waterfall. What we actually found was a spectacular series of waterfalls that spilled into one another. The hike to the base of still partially frozen Dynjandi—”thunderous” in Icelandic—offered a stunning view of the falls and the vastness of the fjord. We settled on one more stop during our long drive to Holmavik. A tour guide we met in Isafjordur suggested a small hot spring near Hotel Flokalundur, a few minutes’ drive from the ferry to Flatey Island, the largest in a group of islands off the southern coast of the Westfjords. Only in researching for this piece did I discover this spot actually had a name: Hellulaug Hot Spring. The hotel was closed for the off-season, so we asked a pair of construction workers for directions. A quarter-mile away we found a parking lot, and tucked into a cliff, a pool of water heated naturally by the earth, overlooking the ocean. Markedly different from the Myvatn Nature Baths we would visit later in our trip and the Blue Lagoon, a popular hot spring for tourists near Reykjavik, this felt like our own private hot spring without another person in sight for miles. While sparsely populated, the Westfjords is home to some of the kindest people we’ve met as tourists, and there’s no better example than Siggi, who we found unloading his snowmobile along the main road in Holmavik, a town of roughly 400 people. We stopped to ask him if he knew someplace we could buy a few beers, knowing we’d arrived long past last call and after the state-owned liquor store had closed. He had kind eyes and said he had a few beers at home and invited us to follow him to his place up the hill. We tagged along, and he reached in his truck, handed us a plastic bag with three tall-boys and went inside to fetch two bottles. We offered to pay him, but he wouldn’t take a cent. “I hope you enjoy Iceland,” he said with a smile. The Museum of Icelandic Sorcery & Witchcraft in Holmavik was our last stop in the Westfjords before heading east to Akureyri. Its website bills it as the “Home of the

Necropants,” but it’s much more than that macabre title would suggest. The small museum, opened in 2000, traces the country’s history of the occult and memorializes those accused of practicing it. During the 17th century, 21 men and one woman accused of witchcraft were burned at the stake. One such practice, according to Icelandic legend, involved skinning a dead man from the waist down and placing a coin in the scrotum. Whoever wore these “necropants” would be wealthy for life. A large map on the wall donned push pins

marking the hometowns of the museum’s international visitors. Pittsburgh was already accounted for, but we added one for our home state, too. It was amazing to realize that we were among the first West Virginians to visit this museum, but that only confirmed what we had already discovered about this rarely visited part of Iceland. As a friend who recently visited put it: “It’s just you and miles upon miles of unbelievably gorgeous landscape, so untouched that it feels like you are the first human to ever lay eyes on it.” She was referring to

There is a rugged, mountainous beauty to the Icelandic coastline. Iceland as a whole, but it embodied the Westfjords in particular, a place where the world feels like only yours, even if for a moment.

on a budget, find a grocery store and pick up some cheap options for breakfast and lunch or pack some in your luggage. Buy booze at the duty-free shop in the airport. State-owned liquor stores called “Vinbuoin” also sell wine, spirits and beer. When you’re ready to splurge, though, don’t miss the hearty, curry-flavored seafood soup at Husid in Isafjordur.

Mexico and travelled all over South America for work. Her many different roles have always involved technology and often finance, including being in a position where she was a leader in the technological business development in Latin American countries. Portela noted it was in that role that one of her favourite projects took place. “Around 1996 we got a very large contract for Central America, and we needed to be able to connect an order processing tool via the Internet,” she explained. “But in 1996 there wasn’t really Internet anywhere, forget Central America. We accepted the job without even knowing how we would do it and as we started getting creative about it we were able to talk to the owners of some of the largest banana plantations around there that had radio towers throughout the rural areas. We connected the Internet service through that, so the super cool and innovative solutions that

Although Portela was always fluent in the main language of the nation she was moving to, she explained there was still a language barrier due to the various local dialects. The new culture also demanded change, as many countries have different cultural expectations of how business is done. Throughout all of her transitions and moves across the Western Hemisphere, adaptability has been integral to Portela’s success.

“If you embrace change, you are so likely to be successful in life and in your career,” she said. “You’re prepared for anything and everything. Whatever they throw at you, you adapt to and move on. I think that’s the biggest thing.” Portela earned her first management role at the age of 21, and ever since then has set extremely high goals with the intent of overachieving them. She noted that has been one thing that has helped her succeed throughout her career, along with taking a course in project management. “Anyone, no matter what area you’re looking at, should take some

She recommended embracing change and discovering who the new you will be in your new country without losing your identity. Portela added it’s also important to find positive ways to adapt and embrace the new culture you are surrounded by. Portela hopes she can be a role model as a woman in a visible minority, and be proof that those in minorities can achieve anything they want. Her goal-driven success, adaptability and willingness to seek new challenges are what make her a Woman to Watch.

Ted 2 takes on box office heavy hitters RICK DAVIS Last weekend was incredible for the movie box office. Not only did Jurassic World hold on to the No. 1 spot, breaking even more records (the highest domestic gross for a movie in its second week of release and crossing the billion dollar gross worldwide in a record 13 days), but Inside Out, even though it opened at No. 2, now holds the biggest gross for a movie based upon an original idea. As well, it is the second highest opening weekend for Pixar Animation Studios, right behind Toy Story 3. Both movies have strong word-of-mouth,

so the new challenger this week might have its work cut out for it. However, that challenger is Ted 2, and if anything can usurp dinosaurs or an 11-year-old’s emotions, it’s a talking Teddy bear. Three years ago, Ted was a big hit grossing more than $500 million worldwide. It came from the mind of Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane and featured his voice as the walking and talking stuffed friend of John (Mark Wahlberg). The unbelievable concept was made believable by the two leads and they are back for more sophomoric and undeniably funny antics. In the sequel, Ted marries his girlfriend from the first movie and they want to have a baby together.

In partnership with

Amanda Seyfried, Mark Wahlberg and the voice of Seth MacFarlane in Ted 2. They enlist John to be a sperm donor, but before they can have a baby, they must prove that Ted is a person. Amanda Seyfried plays the lawyer they consult and Morgan Freeman appears as a human rights specialist. If you are looking for a moving family adventure about a dog, you will want to check out Max. From the director of Remember The Titans comes this touching tale of a marine combat German shepherd which returns from Afghanistan as an injured hero. After losing his handler, Kyle, in combat, Max must adjust to returning

home and being adopted by Kyle’s family. He becomes close to Kyle’s teenage brother Justin and together, they team up to solve a mystery that heals both their wounds. This movie will get lost in the blockbusters surrounding it, but those who take the time to watch it will likely get to experience a heartwarming movie. And finally, this year’s winner of the Sundance Film Festival Jury Prize

and Audience Award is coming to Kelowna. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl is the story of Greg, an awkward high school senior who spends most of his time making parodies of classic movies with his co-worker Earl. After his mother forces him to spend time with Rachel, a girl in his class who was just diagnosed with cancer, he finds his outlook on life forever altered. Critics have hailed this

balance of sentimentality, humour and quirkiness.

forms well and the continuous tweaking has resulted in improved fuel economy. If you were to attend any of the major manufacturer media launches, you would hear journo after journo complain about the audacity of carmakers who use CVT. In the old days, CVT deserved its poor reputation with power lags, high revving, uneven gearing and unedifying and unexpected lurches forward! The technology has evolved. And, the fact is the average consumer has no problem with it, liking the smoother transitions. My first test route was in the Whistler area and showed off its hill climbing skills and the smoothness of the ‘dreaded’ CVT. It’s no gazelle but it is sure-footed and the CVT did not fail even when the driver behaved like a lead foot! I found the ride to be smooth and highway passing no challenge. Cornering at sensible speeds keeps the vehicle firmly planted. It’s darn quiet too. Then I spent a week tooling around

the city putting it through its shopping paces. Parking on the street was a little challenging but I’ll put that down to impatient drivers behind, not prepared for the Murano’s wide swing needed to get into that tricky spot. On the supermarket lot, it glided into spaces forwards or backwards with ease. It’s a fine long-distance vehicle but would serve well as a commuter where longer distances are the norm. I can see it being used in the suburbs but it’s a bit large for the centre of the city. The Murano is not too thirsty for its size – 11.2/8.3 L/100 kms. That’s about two litres per 100 klicks better than its main rivals. Prices: Murano S FWD, $29,998; Murano SV FWD, $33,698; Murano SV AWD,$35,698; Murano SL AWD, $39,098; Murano Platinum AWD, $43,498. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Infiniti Q30 compact to debut this fall By Keith Morgan Premium brand Infiniti will unveil its first-ever compact car at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt in September this year (September 17 to 27). Two years after the Infiniti Q30 Concept debuted at the 2013 Frankfurt show, the production version of this segment-spanning compact car will be revealed at the show this year. Infiniti is in the final stages of preparing the launch. Dynamic testing and ultimate validation is currently taking place across the UK and throughout mainland Europe where development of the vehicle has been completed at the company’s Engineering Centre in Cranfield, in north-east England, since 2014. The Q30 will go on sale in Europe towards the end of 2015 with other markets to follow subsequently. More news on the Infiniti Q30 active compact will be released closer to the Frankfurt show in September. The road to production for this much-anticipated car has been rocky though not for what might be expected reasons. Its design and engineering development has the fingerprints of four-times F1 Champion Sebastian Vettel all over it. When his ‘hands-on’ association with the car was revealed, it was not merely a stroke of market-

ing genius but the racer’s renowned smarts meant his input would be extremely valuable. Then Infiniti president Johan de Nysschen announced the car alongside Vettel, who was wearing his Infiniti-Red Bull F1 team shirt for the occasion. Since then the president has headed over to GM to run Cadillac and Vettel has joined the Ferrari F1 team. After chatting to Vettel, there’s no doubt in the mind of yours truly that he will want to get a turn at the wheel of a Q30 production car to see just how much of his advice was accepted. Sadly, for Infiniti they won’t be able to trumpet his participation in Frankfurt this fall. keith.morgan@drivewaybc. ca

Now, the latest 10th generation Impala is looking to regain some ground with an all-new-for-2014 version that boasts a sleekly tailored exterior, a totally refreshed interior, a choice of three fuel-efficient powertrains and a long list of available modern technologies to complement a contemporary take on a legendary nameplate. I walked up to my test Impala, resplendent in Spiced Red Metallic, opened the driver’s door and squatted down to read the manufacturer’s plate.

The age of large land barges was supposed to have petered out long ago. But there are still a few surprises out there among the holdouts. Like, for example, the Chevrolet Impala, a General Motors mainstay that first debuted more than 50 years ago as “a prestige car within the reach of the average customer” to paraphrase Ed Cole, the GM exec who was known as the “father of the Impala”. At its peak, the Impala outsold all of its competitors. But then came a new era of rising fuel prices, SUVs, CUVs, minivans and

Camaro styling outside, Corvette inspiration inside from page 4

And, yes, sure enough, this car was Canadian-built and had rolled off the Oshawa assembly line last October. I closed the door again and took a slow walk around the vehicle. Very nice. The long low profile looks good from any angle, smoothly streamlined with sculpted coves in the body sides, a long, thin-pillared greenhouse and design lines that pay tribute to Chevrolet tradition without getting bogged down in the past. The 2014 Impala comes in LS, LT and LTZ models and this tester, in full-blown LTZ trim, accented its new aggressive stance perfectly with big, brilliant 20-inch aluminum wheels. The HID headlamp assemblies with LED daytime running lamps gleamed like jewel accents, wrapping around the front corners to frame the wide grille. In back, the spoiler-lipped short deck opens to a voluminous 532-litre trunk, bracketed on either side by diagonal dual-signature tail lamps with chrome-outlined exhaust outlets below, for a final sporting flair. Under the hood, the Impala offers three engine choices, each featuring lightweight construction and fuel-saving direct injection. All of Impala’s engines are mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. And as tested here, the top-of-the-line Impala LTZ harnesses a 3.6-litre V6 engine, rated at 305 hp and 264 lb/ft. of torque that, according to GM Canada, is the highest horsepower output in the segment from a naturally aspirated V6. I didn’t drive any of the four-bangers but I’m pretty sure this V6 would inspire

At a Glance: Chevrolet Impala LTZ Body Style: Four-door, five-passenger full-size sedan Drive Method: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive Engine: 3.6-litre V6 engine with VVT and direct injection (305 hp, 264 lb/ft. of torque) Cargo Volume: 532 litres Towing Capacity: 454 kg (1,000 lb) Fuel Economy: 11.1/6.9L/100km (city/hwy) Price: LTZ $39,645; As tested $45,345 includes Preferred Equipment Group 2LZ, Adaptive Cruise ($1.780), Comfort & Convenience Pkg ($1,365), Colour Touch Nav ($995), BOSE Audio ($880), 20-inch wheels ($420) and more.

the most driving confidence for a minimal fuel economy penalty, rated at 11.1/6.9L/100km (city/ hwy). And my real world results were not far off the official rating, averaging out to a very acceptable 10.1L/100km (comb). If we delve even further under the skin, we find that the Impala is founded on an Opel-derived Epsilon II chassis, a platform shared with Cadillac XTS and Buick LaCrosse. A stronger, more solid body structure benefits both comfort and control, and a slightly stretched wheelbase, wider rear track and refined suspension system combine to provide smooth cruising with just enough of a sporting edge. And, speaking of refinements, a long list of dynamic technologies includes the standard StabiliTrak electronic stability control system, all-speed traction control and four-wheel ABS

disc brakes with electronic brake force distribution. An electric variable-assist steering system (EPS) eliminates parasitic engine drag and also offers Pull Drift Compensation, automatically adjusting the steering effort to counter crowned roads or crosswinds. And other available driving assists include full-speedrange adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, forward collision alert, lane departure warning, side blind zone alert, rear cross traffic alert, rear camera and rear-park assist. It’s a modern and pretty complete package and definitely not your granddad’s Impala. And while the Impala wraps up this full-size sedan package with a sporty Camaro-styled exterior makeover, inside we find hints of Corvette inspiration when it comes to the dual-cockpit interior layout. The wraparound flow of the

instrument panel into the door panels is enhanced by a premium instrument cluster, a standard 4.2-inch colour display, or in the case of this LTZ model, an eight-inch touch screen with Chevy’s latest MyLink infotainment, navigation and connectivity system. Controls and knobs are laid out sensibly against a background of soft touch textures and cool blue ambient bleed-through lighting that sets the mood. There’s ample room for five adults, the seating is comfortable and the cabin is remarkably quiet. Four-cylinder models incorporate an active noise cancelation that uses ceiling-mounted microphones to detect engine noise, countering those frequencies with sound waves through the audio system’s speakers and subwoofer. Our V6 tester gets by just fine with an acoustically laminated windshield and front-door glass, liquid-applied sound deadener, sound-absorbing carpet and innovative isolation technologies to reduce engine noise and suspension vibration. The Impala price range stretches from the LS at $28,445 to our as tested LTZ at $39,465 with additional options listed below in the specs. But I should mention that GM Canada’s current employee pricing promotion will knock a few thousand dollars off those prices until the end of July. Which gives full-size sedan fans a chance to test-drive the 2014 Chevrolet Impala, an all-new and very modern interpretation of the classic North American large car, offering a made-in-Canada solution to everyday driving demands.

Impala has a dual-cockpit interior layout.

Accent hatch family practicality live with will cost another couple of grand, be it for the sedan or five-door hatchback as tested. The LE five-door ($15,999) and the SE ($18,499) are two new models in the Accent lineup. Hyundai is a master of packaging and has reduced the steep price walk from its barebones entry car to the next model up by introducing the LE, which for another $2,400 adds a six-speed automatic (with Shiftronic), air conditioning and remote start.

Topping out just under $20K, Hyundai Accent is no longer a cheapie subcompact. Nor does it look the part. Sure, you can score one for as little as $13,249 ($350 more for the hatchback). But that’s the base car with six-speed manual—and none of the comforts we now expect in our rides. No air conditioning, keyless entry, power windows, Bluetooth, telescopic steering or anything that elevates the daily commute above abject misery. So an Accent you can really

At a Glance: Hyundai Accent SE 2015 Body Style: Subcompact hatchback Drive Method: Front-engine, front-wheel-drive, six-speed automatic Engine: 16-valve DOHC 1.6-litre inline four cylinder with GDI (138 hp, 123 lb/ft of torque) Cargo Volume: 600 litres behind rear seats, 1,345 litres with 60/40 second row folded Fuel Economy: 8.9/6.3/7.7 L/100 km (city/hwy/comb) Price: Base L 6MT $13,599; LE 6AT $15,999; GL 6MT $16,249; GL 6AT $17,499; SE 6AT $18,499; GLS 6MT $18,299; GLS 6AT $19,549 Web Site: www.hyundaicanada.ca

a head-turning shade of Sunflower Yellow and rolled on a set of 16-inch alloys instead of crappy 14-inch steel wheels with wheelcovers. Compared to the ‘jellybean’ styling of the last-generation Accent, this one’s quite handsome with an aggressive profile that features sculpted sheetmetal, and a sharp character line that follows its rising beltline. In front, the black hexagonal grille is flanked by swept-back headlamps, and in back, the Accent’s rear-sloping roofline ends in a sporty roof spoiler. The car’s wedge shape not only looks cool but is good for aerodynamics. Coefficient of drag is a slippery 0.30. But it’s not so good for rear visibility. Inside, there’s no shortage of hard plastic, but it’s nicely textured and doesn’t look cheap. The centre stack is simply laid out, with large dials for HVAC and basic buttons and knobs for the six-speaker AM/FM/XM/CD/ MP3 audio system. Steering is tilt/telescopic, and includes controls for audio, cruise and Bluetooth phone, and front seats get two-position heating. A power sunroof provides much-needed light to the mostly charcoal interior. Headroom is abundant in back, and leg room is adequate for most, able to accommodate two adults— three in a pinch. The 60/40 seats drop to expand the generous 600-litre cargo hold to 1,345 litres. That was enough room last winter to swallow an entire trade show display, which I assumed would take two

trips—or an SUV. Power comes from an all-aluminum 1.6-litre four cylinder with gasoline direct injection (GDI), and dual continuously variable valve timing. It makes 138 hp and 123 lb/ft of torque, besting several major competitors. But with tall gearing, it’s more about fuel economy than snappy performance. At highway speeds, it turns over just north of 2,000 rpm, making this subcompact far less buzzy than some I’ve driven. And although the Accent is no hot hatch, it’s on par with much of the competition. ActiveEco will help achieve the posted fuel economy of 8.9/6.3/7.7 L/100 km, but as it blunts the throttle and remaps the transmission for earlier shifting, any liveliness from the little four-pot engine is gone. I kept ActiveEco off most of the week and still achieved just over eight litres per 100 km combined. Vehicles like this Accent hatchback, and the slightly more commodious Elantra GT I drove a week earlier, nicely fill the needs of today’s smaller families. With ample room for four passengers, a ‘trunk’ larger than most full-size sedans, and thrifty fuel economy, it’s no wonder so many buyers choose five doors over four. What’s Best: stylish exterior, loads of cargo room What’s Worst: Rear visibility What’s Interesting: sophisticated engine with gasoline direct injection in an entry car.

HOT HOTNEW NEW PROPERTIES PROPERTIES Carey Johnson Born and raised in Alberta, and making the move out west a number of years ago in pursuit of the Okanagan dream, I landed myself at Coldwell Banker, where I have dedicated my time to learning the strata management industry and delivering the highest level of care and service to each client who walks through the door. With a background in project management and design, I understand what it means to work under pressure and I enjoy the fast-paced, ever-changing environment that the Real Estate industry has to offer. My motto is â&#x20AC;&#x153;work hard and play hardâ&#x20AC;? so when I am when not in the office, I can be found snowboarding around BC, wake-surfing on my local Wood Lake or enjoying the many wineries that the beautiful Okanagan has to offer.

Liz Penner Liz completed her Real Estate License in 2004 and launched her career in Surrey, BC where she began as

a buyers agent for the top selling realtor Jeff Stephenson, owner of Greyfriars Realty. Her work with Jeff lead to her own Real Estate practice specializing in the residential resale market in Surrey and Langley. Thanks to her exceptionally loyal clientele, personal referrals and repeat business Liz thrived in the Fraser Valley becoming one of the top sales persons in the area with home sales in the top 1% of all of the Realtors in the Fraser Valley. Liz excels at marketing homes that require a vast understanding of the Real Estate sales process as well as the ability to think creatively and work under pressure. Liz and her family relocated to the sunny Okanagan 2 years ago with her family.
