Drought solutions for ‘One valley. One water’

Responding to the worst drought since 2010, the Okanagan Basin Water Board gathered together a broad section of user groups from one end of the valley to the other to review the current situation and co-ordinate a plan of action.

YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE LIVING HERE.

“Our water is all connected—upstream and downstream,” said Anna Warwick Sears, the executive director of the Okanagan Water Basin Board. “Okanagan utilities may have different sources, but in a real way we’re mutually dependent on each other. We truly are all part

of ‘One valley. One water.’” Keeping with that theme, the Capital News will visit some of the community members and user groups affected by the drought in upcoming weeks. See story page A4

FEDERAL ELECTION

Sawyer Klassen

sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com

Federal election candidates in the new Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola riding have encountered some confusion in the early stages of the 2015 election campaign. The riding, which used to be known as Okanagan-Coquihalla, underwent significant boundary changes during the 2012 federal electoral boundaries redistribution. Those changes went into effect for the upcoming Oct. 19 election. The riding now consists of the communities of Keremeos, Princeton, Summerland, Peachland, West Kelowna, Merritt,

Logan Lake and a portion of Kelowna from south of Harvey Avenue downtown to Mission Creek. Green candidate Robert Mellalieu and incumbent MP and Conservative candidate Dan Albas held a press conference Wednesday morning at the corner of Dilworth Drive and Springfield Road in Kelowna to help residents visualize the changes. The intersection marks the new corner of the boundary in Kelowna, bordered by a triangle along Dilworth, Harvey Avenue and Mission Creek. Mellalieu explained the confusion wasn’t too big an issue, joking residents

living in the new riding in Kelowna understood they couldn’t vote for Kelowna-Lake Country incumbent MP and Conservative candidate Ron Cannan once they had the boundary changes explained to them. He noted he was glad to tell them they still had the opportunity to vote Green, while Albas added he had also encountered similar confusion in the Keremeos area where changes were also made. Both candidates are optimistic residents will quickly be able to figure out which riding they now live in, but they said they are both ready to help explain the changes if necessary.

‘Free’ diver dies Cops seek woman who saw teen grabbed after being submerged too long in Ok Lake

PEACHLAND INCIDENT

Kathy Michaels

kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

The alarming tale of a Peachland teenager being dragged from a pedestrian underpass by two men with apparent violent intent has yet to yield an arrest, or much information of any kind. Cpl. Joe Duncan said Mounties have received some tips since a Monday press conference alerting the public to the thwarted attack of a 15-year-old days earlier, but nothing concrete has emerged. What could help is having the woman who intervened on the teen’s behalf, come forward. She disappeared before Mounties were able to get a statement, but if they could it may

help them track down the teen’s would-be assailants. Duncan said the girl was approached by two unidentified men Aug. 8 at 7:46 p.m., in the pedestrian underpass between Beach Avenue and Princeton Avenue in Peachland. “One man grabbed her wrists and the other man started to push her into the tunnel,” he said. She was under their control until the mystery woman suddenly entered the tunnel and interrupted the incident. The two men let go of the girl and fled on foot out of the tunnel toward Beach Avenue. The teen and the woman exited the Princeton Avenue side of

the tunnel, where they saw the men get into a black sedan and drive away quickly, southbound on Highway 97. The teen had little information on the vehicle that took off, other than it was a black sedan. Her description of her wouldbe assailants was equally murky (see below) as their ages were pegged somewhere between 30 and 40 and they were wearing unremarkable clothing. Police are hoping the unknown woman may know more. “If we can get this woman to come forward, it might provide more details, “ Duncan said. Also, if anyone saw a black sedan parked or idling near the busy

The suspect vehicle is described as: • Black sedan • Alberta licence plate. Anyone with any information regarding the identity of the men or who may have witnessed the incident is asked to call West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880.

underpass on Beach Avenue Aug. 8, at around 7:45 p.m., they’re also asked to come forward. “People would have gone by that car and it went by at a high rate of speed,” he said. “I would assume that would raise attention.” There have been no other reports of two men trying to abduct anyone in the days that have followed, said Duncan. The teen was uninjured in the attack. The first man is described as: • Caucasian • 30-40 years old • Approximately 5feet-11 inches tall with a skinny build • Wearing a black hoodie with zipper and white drawstrings

According to Kelowna RCMP, the 27-yearold diver injured on the weekend in a “free” diving accident in Okanagan Lake off Paul’s Tomb at the foot of Knox Mountain has died as a result of being submerged under the water for too long. The diver was identified as Kevin John Stephens, from Kelowna. Stephens was freediving (diving without scuba equipment) in Okanagan Lake in the area of Poplar Point near Paul’s Tomb on the afternoon of Aug. 9 when he failed to surface after a dive.

Friends and family members found him in more than two metres of water, and were able to get him to shore. He was flown to Kelowna General Hospital by air ambulance but died there on the afternoon of Aug. 11. The B.C. Coroners Service and the RCMP are continuing to investigate the death. Stephens identity was publicly released after his extended family was notified of his death. On behalf of family members, the Coroners Service has asked that their privacy be respected at this time.

Concern for fish grows as drought worsens Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Lawns turning from green to brown may be one of the most lamented drought issues in suburbia, but as rivers and streams intrinsic to the ecological well-being

of the region start to evaporate, other concerns have come to the fore. Fish, in particular, are susceptible to this year’s hot and dry conditions. Over 500,000 sockeye salmon entered the mouth of the Columbia river in Portland, Oregon

this year for their annual journey. They would have travelled up the Columbia, then into Okanagan River in Washington and entered B.C. through Osoyoos Lake. Around 300,000 were expected to survive the swim—to be divvied between spawning grounds and fishing supply—but the actual numbers are dismal. Currently just 15,000 sockeye that have made it across the border, and when the migration is complete no more than a maximum of 45,000 are expected to arrive. Now fishing has been banned along the mainstem of the Okanagan River between Okanagan Lake and Osoyoos Lake to protect existing fish stocks. The problem is what Okanagan Nation Alliance biologists call a thermal heat barrier, which is knocking fish out. ONA biologist Tessa Terbasket said in Washington, on Okanagan River,

“What traditional knowledge has shown us through time is that these events happen— they’re not a rarity, they do happen from time to time,” said Bussanich, noting that applying modern scientific approaches with traditional practices could go a long way to riding out rough patches. Terbasket pointed out we all have a choice in how our future plays out. “One thing we are seeing is we do have a lot of pull,” she said. “The salmon are super adaptable, but we as Okanagan people are also adaptable and show the same amount of resiliency as the salmon and the water. We need to think proactively how we manage that as a community in the Okanagan.” For more information about how to manage water better, go to makewaterwork.ca and follow the Capital News for further information. @KelownaNewsKat

“This is temperature stuff, and there are examples out there where your can actually reverse this. In Brazil, in Amazonia, there was complete desertification on some 2,000 plus acres, but groups have spent countless dollars reforesting and turning what was once baron into a natural habitat, then gleaning from that,” he said. “You can reverse this stuff if you have people in different canoes paddling in the same direction.” Renaturalizing systems that have been stripped as human populations swelled were one of the key messages the ONA team brought to the Okanagan Basin Water Board meeting. There are policies that can make a difference, technical programs that are meaningful and add value across the board and approaches that benefit all. There was that, and a message of hope for the future.

These days there is a growing movement to buy local food. Aside from environmental benefits and support for the local economy, there is something so rewarding about biting into a juicy peach at the peak of the season, purchased from a farmer who lives down the road. But for an organization the size of Interior Health, which provides about five million meals each year across 55 sites, buying local isn’t such a simple matter. Food safety is key, logistics are a challenge, and the financial implications must be weighed. Still, leaders within Interior Health believe it

is important to buy fresh local food and support the local agricultural industry. “We have been working steadily with suppliers to take advantage of all the great food that is grown, produced and processed right here in B.C.,” said Interior Health Regional director of support services Alan Davies. “We use as much locally grown produce as possible in our care homes and hospitals, plus cheeses, herbs, sausages, and more. We also highlight locally grown foods on our cafeteria menus, such as Armstrong carrots. We try to purchase as many fresh fruits and vegetables in season as possible.

West Kelowna Council has unanimously denied a temporary use permit to allow gravel processing at 3031 Elliot Road. While the applicant had approval from Agricultural Land Commission to remove 115,000 cubic metres of gravel from the 29acre property to enhance farmland, council rejected the application Tuesday. It would have allowed for the processing of gravel (crushing and screening) on the property, which is zoned A1 for agricultural use. The applicant anticipated it would take five years to complete the project, with a total of 150 of those days used for gravel crushing. The proposal included limiting crushing to 30-

day intervals and then a minimum of a four-week break, operating from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday with no operations from November until the middle of March. The application received strong opposition from the residents of the area, as 24 letters were submitted to council asking it to deny the application. “A gravel crushing business does not belong in a residential neighbourhood,” Jennifer Howlett wrote in one letter to council. “It will decrease property value, add unnecessary dust and have negative impacts on air quality while my children and neighbours are playing outside.” West Kelowna staff were of the same opinion of the residents who opposed the proposal, as

staff’s recommendation was to deny the application based on: • Gravel processing being an industrial use not permitted in the agricultural zone and is not considered normal farming practice • Gravel processing creates a negative impact on surrounding permanent uses • Negative neighbourhood impacts previously expressed under gravel extraction/ top soil placement works would be increased by the addition of gravel processing • Previously permitted gravel extraction/top soil placement works associated with the farmland reclamation project can continue with the issuance of a Soil Removal and Deposit Permit.

City hands out tax break for rental housing project Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

The developer of a 90unit rental housing project on Dickson Avenue in Kelowna knows how to get the best value out of Kelowna. Council approved the developer’s application that made it possible to capitalize on a 10-year tax revitalization exemption program valued at $340,000 on top of a previously-agreed-to exemption on paying development cost charges for its 40 micro suites. Purpose built rental housing projects are able to access 100 per cent tax exemption when a 10 year rental-housing agreement is agreed upon and the rental rate is below three per cent, urban planning manager Ryan Smith told council. Coun. Charlie Hodge expressed concerns about what looked a bit like double dipping. “They’re getting the DCC break on the micro suites and now they’re getting the tax exemption, but it’s unique,” said Hodge. “It seems like they’re able to take advantage to two situations.” Smith pointed out that when the developer came forward, there was no restriction on accessing both programs and city staff encouraged them to move ahead as planned.

Property market remains strong here The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board says sales activity of all MLS property types last month was the second strongest July on record for residential sales since 1981. Bucking the national trend, the B.C. economy is growing and improving, said OMREB and that, coupled with low interest rates and ongoing job growth, continues to support rising consumer confidence and home purchases in most markets in B.C.

“Market conditions in the Okanagan-Shuswap remain steady,” said Christopher Miller, OMREB president and an active realtor in the Central Okanagan. “Strong consumer demand was robust last month and pushed home sales to near record levels for the month of July— second only to last year at this time.” A lack of inventory for some home types is putting upward pressure on prices in some communities, Miller said.

“The number of active listings in our board area continues to decline— down six per cent compared to last year at this time—with some segments experiencing shortages and moving from a balanced to a sellers’ market.” Within OMREB’s three areas—Central Okanagan, North Okanagan and ShuswapRevelstoke—sales activity and prices, and supply and demand tends to vary among property types at different times and

locations, with ups and downs experienced zoneby-zone and month-bymonth. In the central zone (Peachland to Lake Country) single family residential sales remained about level with last July, rising a nominal 1.1 per cent, while year-to-date totals improved by 11 per cent over the same time period last year. July saw overall sales of all property types dip slightly (0.9%).But year-to-date sales activity improved by 9.5 per cent.

Council endorsed an agreement with the Regional District of Central Okanagan to address fringe area planning, allowing the City to influence decisions on key land use planning matters outside of its boundaries when those decisions may impact the City.

Downtown revitalization tax update

Council approved no longer extending tax exemption to Tax Incentive Area 3 in downtown Kelowna.

Opinion

Electronic leash doesn’t control dog in a crowd To the editor: This past Saturday we took out of town guests to the block party being held downtown. It was a great event attended by several people, young and old.

LETTER OF THE WEEK I was somewhat surprised to see the number of dogs in attendance, but must say that the owners were quite responsible, keeping them on short leashes and under control. That was until we encountered a large doberman running unfettered among the crowd. The owner was a male in his 20s who was always at least 5 - 10 feet away from the dog. The dog was large and hyper, and I was concerned about him running around uncontrolled. I called out to the owner to put the dog on a leash. It became immediately obvious that his

sole intention of attending the event with his dog was to have a confrontation. He immediately ran towards me and became belligerent holding up some type of remote control in his hand yelling that his dog was on a leash. The only leash I saw was the one draped around this owners neck. He yelled that the remote control that he was holding was in fact a “leash.” Based on the dog’s erratic behaviour I would have to say that this electronic leash was failing at restraining or controlling this animal. I read with dismay the August 7 article in the Capital News: One Dog Gets Death Penalty, Another Spared In Judge’s Ruling, about a dog owner who used an electronic collar with a remote for discipline. “For example, she had seen Buddy go after a cat, and in response, Mr. Panton “zapped” Buddy with the remote.” Sadly, a responsible dog owner lost their pet and friend because of an uncontrolled, unleashed

Groundwork for little human’s life journey My little human turns three this year, which has put me in the market Kathartic for a preschool. I’ve been researching Maria Montessori, contemplating playKATHY based education and wishing for more MICHAELS Waldorf. There’s a lot to know about these programs for tots because, apparently, they are laying the groundwork for entry into grade school, which is the track to higher learning and everything that follows. This research has also caused me to contemplate public education in a way I’d never done before. If you asked me three years ago, I’d simply say I fundamentally believe access to a high quality public education system is a right of all Canadians, and we should all do what we can to support that system. When programs and funding are sliced and diced, and conditions get worse, parents with means shouldn’t pull their children from flagging schools in favour of their private counterparts, which the government only has to fund at half the rate. They should fight for improvements, vote with understanding of the issues at hand and do whatever they can to protect the system. Now I’m a mother, however, that simple stand has

been shaken. I still believe in public education, but I’m petrified about what my own little human, who is gentle, sweet and happy, will encounter in a system that sounds like a nightmare of bulging class rosters and varying challenges. How will he get the foundation he needs when there are a handful of kids in a class of 30 acting like maniacs, and no educational assistants to be found? What if he has his own educational challenges, in the future? What are the odds they will be spotted and addressed in the way they need to be? When the teacher’s strike was going on last year, I was told bluntly by teachers in the know that students don’t get the same access to help that they used to. If you live in a good neighbourhood, good for you. If you live in a poorer area, well, you get what you get. Teachers care. They try. But superheroes they ain’t. Exacerbating my growing concern, is that I can’t help but ask people questions. This week I was at a lovely little backyard dinner party, and I asked the teacher sitting near me, what advice he would give

a parent to a three year old. He said home schooling and public school combined. I really want to capitalize the words “homeschooling,” because they’re ringing through my head at top volume, but it flies in the face of newspaper convention to write words in all caps. His rationale was that there are a lot of good home schooling programs in specific subjects that allow students to flourish. Kids still need to be socialized, however, so some public school is required. Sounds great, but the trouble is I love working and I love getting a paycheque even more. I need a paycheque until the lottery gods see fit to bestow riches upon me. So, what do I do? It seems that the only shot I have is to vote judiciously in the provincial election and cross my fingers that education in B.C. improves or convert to Catholicism, which apparently has good schools. My soul is not too big a price to pay for the apple of my eye, I suppose. Now back to the question at hand—toys, or learning stations? @KelownaNewsKat

Have your say on B.C.’s plan for climate change

Anti-crosswalk

NOW

To the editor: Re: Photo Ops Won’t Prevent Next Fire, Flood or Earthquake, July 24 Kelowna Capital News. This summer’s forest fires have brought the reality of climate change to the forefront of British Columbian’s concerns. You now have the opportunity to influence our province’s future policies on addressing climate change and reducing our collective greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Last month the B.C. government presented its Climate Leadership Plan— Discussion Paper, and the public input period ends Aug.17. We encourage everyone to complete the online survey (engage.gov.bc/ climateleadership). While we applaud the Leadership Team for requesting the public’s input, our local Citizens’ Climate Lobby chapter is concerned that the proposed goals are too vague and do not outline a clear process as to how these actions will occur, how they will be monitored, and what remedies would be in place to enforce new policies. Another concern is that B.C.’s very successful carbon tax, instituted in 2008, has been frozen for a five-year period. In order

to continue to be effective at reducing green house gas (GHG) emissions, this tax needs to increase as it was intended. Using a more transparent approach, like carbon fee and dividend, would protect lower and middle income families, while encouraging the innovation needed in our transition to a low carbon economy. The government’s current focus on developing a new carbon-based energy infrastructure (LNG) is contrary to the long term goals of meeting B.C.’s GHG targets. At this time, the province will be hard pressed to meet its 2020 GHG emission reduction targets. Developing new carbon energy projects will make that task even more difficult. We will be submitting a formal response with our concerns. We encourage other organizations to do so, too. At this critical time in history, we must all be actively involved in envisioning the future that we want. Ron Robinson, Mike Geisler, Laura Sacks, Citizens’ Climate Lobby Nelson-West Kootenay Chapter

POLITICAL MANOEUVRING

Restricted access to watching politicians debate To the editor: I continue to be concerned about what’s happening in Canada. Among numerous concerns I have, I am particularly concerned about the lack of televised accessibility to the debates. The debates have always been available on TV and radio but now they are not. The Conservatives under Harper rejected participation in televised debates three months ago ( http://www.huffingtonpost. ca/2015/05/12/stephen-harper-electiondebates_n_7265086.html). As a result, the only access we have to the debates is online. While most Canadians have Internet access, many still do not. That is simply not acceptable in a democracy. This is a critical time in our history and we must have maximal access to our potential leaders’ thoughts and policies.

Further, under the misnamed Fair Elections Act, pushed through a year ago by the Conservatives, Elections Canada is prevented from encouraging people to vote, even putting an end to kits designed to teach our children about democracy and voting in Canada. The Act eliminates Elections Canada’s investigative capacity altogether. It also helps the Conservatives make it more difficult for the poor, the homeless, First Nations and students to vote. And, do not get me started on the attack ads—thoroughly unCanadian. We seem to be spiralling ever downward into the political nightmare visited upon the US by its Tea Party Republicans. Do we really want to go that route? Gary W. Lea, Kelowna

ELECTRIC LEASH FROM A8

To the editor: With almost 47 per cent of people voting ‘no’ on a recent local media poll, regarding if they were in favour of rainbow-painted crosswalks, I don’t feel that I’m alone with the thought that the new coloured crosswalks in downtown Kelowna were a bad idea. Not just because it was done without any kind of consulting with the public, not just because it was made entirely with taxpayers’ money (and Okanagan Pride got it for free), but because I don’t understand why we are letting them use their LGTBQ flag for our new crosswalks instead of installing normal (and cheaper) ones? Showing favoritism much, City of Kelowna? The new LGTBQ rainbow coloured crosswalks in downtown Kelowna are not ‘highly offensive,’ let’s not get carried away and be unreasonable here. Are they pushing their beliefs down our throat? A bit, yes. It is a loud and proud colourful crosswalk, no way to avoid it. Just imagine if a crosswalk of a painted Christian cross was installed tomorrow during the night. In the morning, people would be up in arms screaming that the Christians are trying to shove their beliefs down everyone’s throat, there is no difference here. Different beliefs but the exact same concept. Only slight difference here, is that people are scared to say what they think about the crosswalks because who wants to be publicly called a homophobe? No wonder nobody on camera said that they didn’t love it but yet the poll online, tells a much different and much more realistic story. A lot of people don’t see the need for it to be there. A sign would have worked just as well. Is it just because they’re different, sexually? Is it because they’ve been discriminated against and we feel bad in the way that they’ve been treated? If so, why don’t Jewish people have one? They’ve been treated pretty horribly throughout history. They can be loud and be proud, but to go and paint a pride crosswalk in busy downtown Kelowna using taxpayers’ money, is not necessary by any means. Isn’t Pride Week and all their parades enough? I’m not against Okanagan Pride by any means, just don’t agree whatsoever with the rainbow crosswalk downtown and don’t understand why it’s so blatant and in our face. Kurtis Knuth, Kelowna

New West Kelowna watering rules

Due to continuing hot, dry weather, the City of West Kelowna has moved to Stage 2 watering regulations.

Residents are advised that outdoor watering is now prohibited between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. and is only permitted two days

• Odd numbered addresses water on Sundays and Wednesdays. Properties equipped with automated, timed sprinkler systems may only sprinkle between the hours of midnight to 6 a.m. on the days permitted by the sprinkling regulations as described above. Properties equipped with manually controlled sprinkling systems, including those attached to outside taps, may only operate from 6 to 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. to midnight on the days permitted by the sprinkling regulations as described above.

Over the past several years, outdoor water regulations have had a positive effect on conservation efforts, says the city, and West Kelowna is publicly thanking its water utility customers for their cooperation.

ATV rider injured

(QURO 1RZ 6DYH

The driver of an allterrain vehicle is in hospital with very serious injuries after a single vehicle collision Wednesday night in Lake Country. RCMP say the accident occurred around 7:47 p.m. in the 2500-block of Williams Road. The 18-year-old Vernon man was driving a miniATV east on Williams Road when there was a major mechanical failure resulting in both the driver and a passenger being ejected. The driver suffered very serious and potentially life-threatening injuries in the crash, say police, while the passenger, an 18-year-old Vernon

woman, suffered relatively minor injuries. Both occupants were taken to Kelowna General Hospital for treatment. The driver remains in serious condition. Neither the driver nor the passenger were wearing appropriate safety equipment, which police say likely contributed significantly to the extent of the young man’s injuries. An RCMP collision reconstructionist completed a detailed analysis of the scene but all the causal factors are not yet known. Alcohol and mechanical issues are believed to be contributing factors in the crash.

Hot dogs are for summer picnics, not vehicles This has been a summer of frustration for those trying to prevent senseless losses and tragedies in these hot, dry months. But this time, I’m not talking about wildfire danger and the seemingly endless reminders about campfire bans and carelessly-tossed cigarette butts. I’m talking about the dangers of leaving pets sweltering inside hot vehicles. Every summer, the BC SPCA and other animal welfare groups warn us about how quickly a dog will start to suffer when left inside a vehicle in

MLA’s Report NORM LETNICK hot weather. Yet people continue to do it. We’ve heard story after story of dogs being rescued from cars—if they’re lucky. Others have perished after the suffering became too much to bear. The B.C. SPCA notes that the temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partially open, can quickly

Many people mistakenly assume they will “just be gone for a minute” and their pet won’t start to suffer in that period of time. Trouble is, even the quickest errand can turn into an unexpectedly long trip. Maybe it’s tougher to find the product you went into the store for, or you’re stopped by an old friend and get distracted as you catch up. You can leave your pet in the car with the best intentions of

What’s more, dogs and cats cool themselves by panting and by releasing heat through their paws. On summer days the air and upholstery in your vehicle can heat up to temperatures that make it impossible for them to do so.

returning quickly, but other circumstances can get in the way of that happening. It takes just 10 minutes for your pet to be seriously harmed in the heat. The B.C. SPCA advises it is simply better to leave your pet at home where it has access to cool areas, water and other comforts. There are steep consequences for those who fail to heed this good advice. People who expose

animals to excessive heat or deprive them of adequate ventilation can be charged under B.C.’s Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. The act carries the toughest penalties in Canada, with maximum penalties of $75,000 fines and two years of imprisonment. The B.C. SPCA does a great job of looking out for vulnerable animals and pursuing these types of penalties when infractions do occur. Our government was pleased

to support their work in Budget 2015, where we provided $5 million to upgrade SPCA shelters and facilities in multiple communities including Kelowna. We’ll have more to say on this serious issue soon. Until then, please heed the warnings about leaving pets in hot cars so we don’t hear of any more senseless tragedies. Norm Letnick is the Kelowna-Lake Country Liberal MLA and B.C.’s Minister of Agriculture.

Sports

bench Sun stoked for defending champs New boss for It’s not as if Jonas Gering was looking past any one of the Okanagan Sun’s first three games of the 2015 B.C. Football Conference season. But with the Langley Rams coming to town this weekend, the 21-yearold defensive end has had Saturday, Aug. 15 on his mind for some time. No one who was wearing a Sun uniform last October has forgotten the heartbreak of a 2319 loss to the Rams in the conference championship at the Apple Bowl. “This one has been circled since the beginning of the season,” said Gering, now in his fourth season of junior football. “The end result of last season just makes this game that much more important. It’s a big game for us, a chance to show just how strong of a team we are. This is the real test for us.” While the Sun leads

the conference at 3-0, the Rams are 2-1 with their lone defeat coming in opening weekend against the Vancouver Island Raiders. Langley has seen a few changes from last year’s championship team, including the departures of star receivers Malcolm Williams and Daniel English. But with the addition of former SFU receiver Bobby Pospischil, a powerful running game and a solid defence, Sun head coach Shane Beatty said the Rams are every bit as formidable as they were a year ago. “They’re very physical,” said Beatty. “They try run the football down your throat with a power running game. They’re going to try and get after us, we’ll have to be ready for them. “It’s going to be a battle and a great football game.” The Rams biggest challenge Saturday just may be solving the Sun defence which has

yielded a meagre 10 points—3.33 per game— in three starts this season. Last week against the Raiders, the Okanagan defense tied a B.C. conference record with 10 sacks. “The guys are flying around and playing really well right now,” said Jonas Gering. “Those 10 sacks weren’t just because of the D-line… our whole defense, our linebackers, our DBs have all been playing great. “If we can just play our same game (against the Rams) then we should make it tough for them.” Kick off Saturday night at the Apple Bowl between the Sun and Rams is 7 p.m.

Kelowna’s Quinci Birker won gold in women’s beach volleyball at the Western Canada Summer Games.

Kelowna’s Birker family will be bringing home some hardware from the Western Canada Summer Games in Fort McMurray, Alta. Quinci Birker is celebrating a gold medal in beach volleyball, while brother Liam Birker earned a silver medal. Quinci teamed up with Surrey’s Darby Dunn to win the women’s division on Monday, defeating Alberta handily in the final, 21-12 and 21-15. Birker and Dunn had just finished watching their brothers—Liam Birker and Devon Dunn—who settled for second in the men’s event. “We were a little nervous going

into the game, especially watching our brothers,” admits Quinci. “But we felt good, and played our game,” added Darby. In the men’s final, Birker and Dunn succumbed to Alberta 21-13 and 21-19. “Today we just didn’t have our best game,” admitted Liam Birker. The bond between the families is evident with both sets of parents travelling to support their children in Fort McMurray. The girls, Quinci and Darby, and the boys, Liam and Devon, have been playing together for several years despite living four hours apart.

Jason Williamson is the new head coach of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League’s Okanagan Rockets. Williamson, 34, replaces Simon Ferguson, who stepped down due to personal reasons and family commitments. Ferguson spent one year with the Kelownabased team, guiding the Rockets to a fourth-place finish at 23-12-5 last season. “I’m excited about the opportunity to work with the Okanagan Rockets,” Williamson said. “They produce elite level talent each and every year. I’m looking forward to hopefully building this team into a championship calibre team.” Williamson was the head coach/GM with the BCHL’s Vernon Vipers for four years before leaving due to personal reasons at the start of last season. A former Viper captain, the Williams Lake product was an assistant coach for three years in Vernon prior to that. He has made four trips to the RBC Cup, Canada’s national Junior A championship, winning the title with the Vipers in 2009 and 2010, and finishing as runner-up in 2011. He has also been involved at the national level as an assistant coach for Canada West at the 2014 World Junior A Challenge. Williamson played three seasons for the Vipers before earning a scholarship with the Niagara University Purple Eagles. He compiled 11 goals and 35 points his

The second, Aug. 6 to 9, is the senior championships held in Pointe-Claire with 470 participants competing in an open age category. The meets marked the end of the long course season for most swimmers and the beginning of their summer. All three AquaJet girls were at the Age Groups for the first time, and did a great job competing at a high level for six days. Molly Hill stole the show in the pool, destroying three of her personal best times, qualifying for four finals and breaking a club record along the way. Molly finished 7th in 200 Fly and 400 IM, and 8th in 50 and 100 Fly. Hill’s time of 1:06.13 in the 100 Fly broke a Jennifer Goldsmith record from 1988 in the 13-14 Girls category by over 2 seconds. She also swam the 200 IM placing 25th. Axana Merckx found her success in the longer events, dropping 17 seconds from her best, clocking a 18:35.68 in her 1500 to place 10th and lower her own club record.

Walker to Vancouver Open

The Kelowna Golf and Country Club’s Lionel Taylor ended his junior career on a high with his second straight win on the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Ford Series. Taylor, 19, from the Kelowna Golf and Country Club, showed the way this week at Predator Ridge, finishing with a two-day score of 141 (72-69). Kelowna’s Drew Harvie and Calgary’s Chris Murray tied for second at 74-73 (147). “Putting saved me when I was struggling,” Taylor said. “My birdies on 16 and 17 coming in to shoot 69 were my highlight. “This was my last MJT and it feels great to win.” MJT newcomer George Wilkins, 14, of Lake Country, cruised to his first victory in the MJT bantam boys division, shooting a two-day score of 72-71 (143) to win

Patrick Walker will step on to the court at the Hollyburn Country Club Saturday in West Vancouver for his second career appearance at the Odlum Brown Vancouver Open. Walker, 20, who grew up in Kelowna and now resides in Vancouver, earned a wild card berth by winning last week’s Road to Odlum Brown qualifier. He defeated B.C. rival Kyryll Kryvchun in three sets in the final. The qualifier featured players from eight clubs on the Lower Mainland. Walker, who is ranked ninth in B.C. and 33rd in Canada, played in the Vancouver Open last year and was eliminated in the opening round. With a $200,000 prize purse, the Vancouver Open is the second biggest tennis event in Canada and features a number the top 50 players in the world as well as some former top

news _______________________________________________ COURT DECISIONS

Determining compensation not just mathematical Two crash victims suffer injuries with symptoms that are likely to last the rest of their lives. One is 25 and the other is 75 years old. Are they treated differently when it comes to financial compensation? Statistically, “the rest of their lives” for the 25-year-old is another 55 to 60 years versus another 12 to 14 years for the 75-year-old. On a straight mathematical analysis, shouldn’t the younger person receive more compensation? Is the quality of life of an older person of less value than that of a younger person? Is there age discrimination in injury compensation? My step-daughter posted this piece of wisdom on Instagram the other day: “The most dangerous risk of all (is)

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.” Our traditional model is to work our butts off to make enough money so we can afford to do all those things we’ve been waiting to do until we have time and retirement savings to do them. If we struggle all our lives to get there, to those “golden years,” and a negligent driver takes away much of our enjoyment of those precious years, might a senior be entitled to increased, rather than decreased compensation? The injured victim in

joins the multitude of other decisions that give us confidence our courts hand down justice as they are tasked to do, without discrimination. I am hesitant to provide the dollar figure assessed by in the Wong v. Towns because you would need to read the decision to appreciate the profound impact the crash injuries have had, and are continuing to have, on Mrs. Wong, in order for the number to make sense. If anyone would like a link to the case, e-mail me and I will send it to you. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case. Paul Hergott is a lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca.

Mrs. Wong’s age, the judge looked at both sides of the argument and decided that in Ms. Wong’s situation they balanced each other out: “There is no doubt that had Mrs. Wong been a younger person at the time of the accident, the loss of cognitive function would have been more devastating,” wrote the judge. “However, I agree with the comments of Justice Fisher in Etson; that is, Mrs. Wong’s loss of cognitive function could be viewed as more serious due to her age because the quality of life becomes more important when there are fewer years left to enjoy. In the end, however, these two aspects of the ‘Golden Years’ doctrine appear to be evenly balanced in the circumstances of this case.” The judge’s decision

Wong v. Towns, a B.C. Supreme Court decision released July 30, was 80-years-old at the time of the collision. The judge set out the purpose for “pain and suffering” compensation, being clear that it is not a mathematical formula but rather a particular assessment based on the particular injured victim. In paragraph 94, she writes: “Many factors must be considered in assessing non-pecuniary damages. Compensation is designed to ameliorate the suffering and harm caused by the injuries and to provide some solace. While the nature of the injury must be taken into account, it is the impact of the injury on a particular plaintiff that is determinative…”. When considering

Yeti Farm has grown tremendously since it truly opened for business in 2012, and Ashley Ramsay has been a large part of that.

Ramsay is the CEO of Yeti Farm, and founded it alongside her husband Todd Ramsay in 2007. Since

launching, Yeti Farm has grown from one permanent employee to nearly 50, and will be moving to a larger location in November. Ashley handles the business side of Yeti Farm, which animates cartoons for television, animates online advertising and provide gaming assets for Electronic Arts. Ramsay began her career at University of British Columbia, where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts. From there she chose to pursue animation, spending the first few years of her career as a producer and production technology manager at many Vancouver studios. “Animation today is the perfect blend of art and technology,” she said of why she entered the

field. “For example, we hire artists out of the Bachelor of Fine Arts program at UBC, for example, and we can train them to use the technology. I think that it allows someone who as an aptitude for technology but is an artist make a living at it.” From Vancouver, Ramsay moved to the Okanagan where she began working with the Okanagan Film Commission, helping animation and live action producers produce content in the Okanagan. After her time with the OFC she was hired by Accelerate Okanagan, where she was responsible for building the community within the tech sector. She spent around one year at Accelerate Okanagan, and it was after that she co-founded

Ashley Ramsay is a Woman to Watch. Yeti Farm. Yeti Farm is currently in a phase of tremendous growth, and is launching a new division called ‘Yeti Labs’. Yeti Labs is based on online viewership only, meaning the shows and programs it would produce would not be for TV, but only online. Ramsay noted Yeti Farm is the only company in the area to be entering into the online-only field, which is part of the reason she described her career highlight as currently ongoing. “One of our own productions, Schnarg, we were responsible for it, we created it in our basement, we sought out the funding to develop it, we developed it, we took it out to market, we sold the show, and now it’s

being developed here. So that to me is the biggest highlight of our career, we’re in it right now. Seeing our studio on the cusp of going from a service studio to a studio that’s creating its own shows, that’s a pretty big step to take. All of the shows we’ve worked on are great, but when you make your own show that’s the best. That’s what you’re working towards in your career.” Ramsay’s work with Yeti Farm has earned her recognition on multiple occasions. She was recognized in a Canadawide survey earlier this year as a PROFIT W100 Top 10 Rising Women Entrepreneur, and a Top 40 Under 40 in Kelowna, also in 2015. Additionally, Ramsay

serves as Director of the BC Small Business Roundtable, under the Honorable Minister Naomi Yamamoto. Ramsay has set several goals for Yeti Farm, the first of which is to prove Yeti Labs is a viable business model in the next six months. For a two year goal, she explained it would be amazing to see one of their stories get going with a mass audience. Finally, in the next five years she would love to grow Yeti Labs to where they can partner with a major studio. The success and growth of Yeti Farm, largely under the direction of Ramsay, is what makes her a Woman to Watch.

Attitude is the most important tool in your recovery In my decades of working as a health care provider, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with patients of all types. Prior to becoming a chiropractor, I worked in spinal cord, cardiac, burn, and neurological ICU departments, in addition to emergency and trauma. Each patient has taught me at least one thing about life and how to perceive it. Recently, a patient asked what I think is the one single thing that separates the patient that will get better from the patient that will not. I think she was expecting an answer like; “its nutrition, exercise, genetics, fate.” Though these are very important factors in the patients’ outcome, I did not volunteer them as viable answers. I turned to write in her chart and mumbled “attitude.” When I turned back to her, her look was one of disbelief and slight annoyance at what she thought was a glib answer to a legitimate

Ask Dr. Thiel MARKUS THIEL question. It was a legitimate question. She just didn’t like the answer. I thought I should explain. I told her, I rarely have ever had a patient be utterly surprised by the outcome of their care. If they feel they will never get better, they usually don’t. If they feel, truly believe, that they will get better, they more often than not do. That is not to say you should stop all care and treatments for a malady and live in a land of fairies and rainbows. But, if you enter your treatment with a firm belief you will improve, noting the improvements and living in a state of gratitude and abundance for whatever comes your way, you stand an exponentially higher chance of success. Henry Ford said it best;

“If you believe you can or you can’t, you’re probably right.” Let me use a personal example. When I was working at Vancouver General Hospital, often I would come across a patient in the ICU who was in multisystemic failure. Essentially, by definition, they were dying. At times, one characteristic would prevail; they were contagiously optimistic and empowered. They would typically pull through and recover. The odds were clearly against them but they would defy all that I had learned in my 14 years of university. Again and again it would happen. At first it was humbling, then it became empowering. I can quote the hundreds of studies that cite just this example. Believe me, I’ve seen it: you are entirely what you believe. At the very least it could never hurt you to

If you are tired of relentless, dry heat in the valley, I highly recommend a trip to Cathedral Provincial Park, just west of Keremeos. Last week I had four wonderful days of hiking there with Xeriscape Association garden volunteers. At 6,800 feet above sea level the air is refreshingly pure. The beauty of wildflower meadows, alpine lakes, and amazing rock formations filled us with joy and peace. The climb to the top of the mountains was well worth it with distant

The steep, exciting, onehour ride is well worth the $100 round trip. Rides must be booked ahead at www.cathedrallakes.ca/ They provide day trips leaving base camp at 8 a.m. and the lodge at

Properties with even numbered addresses are restricted to watering on even calendar days and odd numbered to odd

calendar days. Watering is not allowed in the heat of the day between 11 a.m. and 6p.m. Manual sprinklers and hand watering can occur between 6 and 11 a.m. or 6 p.m. and midnight on the designated calendar day. More information can be found at www. kelowna.ca/CM/ page2506.aspx. The page has links to common irrigation control manuals so you can reprogram your automatic irrigation. Automatic underground systems

may be run between midnight and 6am on the designated day. The Okanagan Basin Water Board has water saving tips at www. makewaterwork.ca/. Take the MWW pledge before Aug. 23 to reduce you landscape water use and you will be entered to win $6,000 worth of water efficiency improvements, products and services. The Province of B.C. has now declared the Okanagan to be in Level 4 drought (the highest possible rating). It is essential we all do our part to conserve water.

Aside from reducing watering to alternate days, we can conserve water by: • Not watering pavement/hard surfaces • Using a broom to clean sidewalks and driveways rather than hosing them down • Washing the car on a lawn to utilize the water • Always using a shutoff nozzle on the end of a hose if hand watering or car washing • Leaving the lawn to naturally go dormant— it will green up in the cooler, damper fall weather. If you live in Glenmore

or any other area with heavy clay soils, you can get by with watering very little. To learn more and find plants suitable for dry conditions go to www. okanaganxeriscape.org. I invite you to attend my two-night class Introduction to Xeriscape: Wednesday, Sept. 16 and 23 or Thursday, Oct. 1 and 8. Details and registration information are on the OXA website.

Water use restrictions, inland fishing closures and a close watch on the warming Fraser River continue as drought conditions extend into a fourth month in B.C. The Fraser River discharge at Hope measured 31 per cent lower than normal Aug. 10, with the temperature at 19.2 C, one degree higher than average. The Canada-U.S. Fraser River Panel projected a temperature of 20.4 by Aug. 16, with all commercial salmon fishing closed in Canadian waters regulated by the panel. The B.C. government extended stage four drought restrictions to the Okanagan region, allowing local officials to suspend water licences

depending on stream conditions. The South Thompson, Similkameen, Kettle and Skagit, South Coast and Vancouver Island regions are also at stage four. Low stream flow advisories are in effect for those areas and the Cariboo-Chilcotin. The forests ministry extended its stream fishing ban this week on the Okanagan River mainstem between Okanagan and Osoyoos Lakes. The Kootenay and East Kootenay regions have been declared at level three drought, with voluntary use restrictions of 30 per cent below normal use for municipal, agricultural and industrial water users. Coastal regions have had some relief recently with rain and cooler temperatures.

▸ Hyundai takes their entry-level Tucson crossover upscale for 2016 while increasing its price tag by a mere $400 despite a major gain in standard equipment.

▸ Exceptional structural rigidity and absorbent underpinnings gave the Tucson a remarkably smooth, well-controlled ride over the worst of West Coast roads.

▸ Not only is the Tucson generously equipped; its cabin is well thought-out and beautifully executed.

▸ The all-new Tucson makes a strong visual statement with bold styling and a longer, wider stance.

the best of them in the fiercely competitive compact crossover segment. While Hyundai’s soft-touch surfaces and intuitive architecture are praiseworthy, it’s the larger slice of ‘content’ pie which they serve that sets the Tucson apart from its contemporaries under competing nameplates. “More for less” has always been a Hyundai hallmark, and the Tucson adheres to the credo with its outstanding list of standard and near-standard features, including safety tech such as Blind Spot Detection with Cross Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, and Autonomous Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection. Thoughtful touches include heated front and rear seats, a heated steering wheel, dual-level cargo floor, and a remarkably convenient Proximity power liftgate. The latter opening by merely sensing the key in proximity of the liftgate for three seconds. No longer can the Tucson be considered an entry-level crossover despite its modest across-the-board increase of roughly $400. The upscale climb includes the availability of an optional 1.6L turbocharged I-4 GDI engine harnessed to a segment-exclusive 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT). The turbocharged mill fortifies the AWD Tucson with 175 horsepower and 195

lb.-ft. of torque, and is the obvious choice for passing-lane adherents. The base 2.0L I-4 GDI (required with FWD) is the powerplant of choice for the modest. It shells out 164 horsepower and 151 lb.-ft. of torque through the auspices of a six-speed autobox. Three drive modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport – enable drivers to tweak engine response, shift mapping, and steering resistance, to correspond with the mood of the day. I really didn’t find a need for Sport mode, largely enjoying the Normal setting most. After spending a day administering the turbocharged and non-turbocharged Tucson variants, I departed the Sunshine Coast with the view that Hyundai has raised the bar for refinement, comfort, and value in the compact crossover segment. Albeit, handling dynamics and sheer athleticism may still belong to the likes of Mazda’s CX5. Pricing FWD: $24,399 - $26,999 Pricing AWD: $31,549 - $39,599 Base engine: 2.0L I-4, GDI 164 hp. / 151 lb.-ft. torque Optional engine: 1.6L turbocharged 1-4 GDI, 175 hp. / 195 lb.-ft. torque Combined city/highway fuel economy: base engine 9.0L/100km, optional engine 9.2L/100km Seating capacity: 5 Cargo capacity: 877 litres

Gamers create a hot looking Ford By Keith Morgan

Ford Focus RS featuring an exterior designed by players of Forza Motorsport for Xbox, unveiled at 2015 Gamescom in Cologne.. CONTRIBUTED

A unique all-new Ford Focus RS featuring an exterior designed by players of Forza Motorsport for Xbox has been unveiled at the international 2015 Gamescom event in Cologne. , who will feature in the new Forza Motorsport 6 game for the Microsoft Xbox One console. The all-new Focus RS is the third generation of Focus RS cars, following models launched in 2002 and 2009. Developed by a global Ford Performance team, the RS features a specially-engineered 350 PS 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine; pioneers the innovative Ford Performance All-Wheel-Drive system; and is the first RS to offer selectable Drive Modes – including industry-first Drift Mode – and Launch Control. Ford also has joined with Microsoft to feature the allnew Ford GT ultra-high-performance supercar in Forza

Motorsport 6, the latest title in the acclaimed racing simulation franchise for Xbox. Forza Motorsport 6 made its debut at Gamescom a few days ago and is set to go on sale later this year. The all-new Ford GT uses an aerodynamic carbon fibre body and fuel-efficient twin-turbocharged V6 EcoBoost engine to deliver one of the best power-to-weight ratios of any production car.

The state-of-the-art Ford GT chassis features an active racing-style torsion bar and pushrod suspension, with adjustable ride height, and carbon-ceramic brake discs. The new GT will one of the most exclusive Ford vehicles ever with limited volume sold around the world. “In Forza Motorsport 6, racing and gaming enthusiasts all over the world will be the first to experience Ford’s new ultra-high-performance supercar, the Ford GT,” said Dan Greenawalt, creative director at Turn 10 Studios in Redmond, Washington, U.S. “In Cologne we’re excited to showcase the real allnew Focus RS clad in a special paint scheme created by the Forza community.” The one-off Focus RS livery was the winning design from a competition for players of the Forza Horizon 2 open-world racing game, organized by global gaming website IGN.

New Nisssan Z for $10k less By Rob Beintema The steering wheel felt alive under my fingers. A stomp of the throttle prodded the engine with the snarl of instant gratification. The handling was quick and crisp, the brakes authoritatively taming the speed bursts of this beast as we carved country road corners, pirouetted through esses, and shot through traffic gaps in the cut and thrust of urban driving. Ahh, but there’s an inherent problem with this kind of performance. Because the quicker the car, the shorter my patience. The power and agility, the

exuberance of noisy acceleration, that sense of cando-anything ability tends to engender a hyperactive impatience when you’re sharing the road with seemingly mere mortals uncertainly doddering about in minivans. I usually resort to deep breathing and I remind myself that I am usually a part of that same slow herd. But I’m also reminded of just how much fun a Nissan Z can be. And it takes some reminding because, 45 years since the first Z appeared, and with only minor changes over the last two generations, it’s easy to take the Z for granted and not give it

the attention it deserves. But for the 2016 model year, Nissan has added a new Coupe Enthusiast Edition base model ($29,998) that drops the entry-level price by a whopping $10,000. Now, that’s sure to make potential customers pay attention. That kind of move goes against the grain for most car companies, where the steady evolution of bigger, more expensive models is a more usual trend. Even Nissan’s sport car lineup of Zs have tended to get porkier and more fully loaded with each generation. This new base model

still harnesses Nissan’s award-winning 332 hp 3.7-litre DOHC V6 engine with Variable Valve Event and Lift Control mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission. This powertrain combo is rated at 13.3/9.3L/100km (city/hwy) but if fuel economy is a big concern, you’re shopping in the wrong aisle, bub. My real world averages worked out to 12L/100km (comb) even with occasional outbursts of adrenalized lunacy.

OK, so what’s the catch? What are we giving up for the $10,000 price chop? Well, while I wouldn’t exactly label the Coupe Enthusiast Edition a “stripper,” there are sacrifices to be made, namely: • No available automatic transmission • No viscous limited-slip rear differential • Manually-adjusted cloth seats instead of leather • No heated/ventilated seat feature • No 7.0-inch VGA touch-sensitive LCD display screen (a cubby storage area in the same space instead) • No VoiceLink recognition • No RearView monitor or Navigation • No Homelink transceiver • A 4-speaker audio system without satellite radio instead of the BOSE 6-speaker upgrade • No Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) or Active Sound

deletions above that I can’t live without for a $10,000 price cut. Customers who need the extra do-dads can still opt for the Touring Coupe ($39,998), Touring Sport Coupe ($43,998), the NISMO (Nissan Motorsports) Coupe ($47,998) or the convertible lineup with the Touring Black Top ($49,498) Touring Sport Black Top ($53,498) or Touring Sport Bourdeaux Top model($54,998).

The one thing this pareddown Coupe Enthusiast Edition definitely does benefit from is a leaner and meaner mass reduction, courtesy of being stripped to its bare essentials. It weighs in at 1,497 kg, about 100 kg less than a fully loaded model, even 50 kg lighter than the lean NISMO (1,547 kg), giving it a very comparable power-to-weight ratio to the performance model. And that new “less is more” philosophy may well

ART EXHIBIT Heads Up Until Oct. 17 ARTE functional-The Factory 1302 St. Paul St. Kelowna Heads Up is comprised of a group exhibition of portraits by four artists: Ann Kipling of Falkland; David T. Alexander of Lake Country; Robert Bigelow of Vancouver; Malcolm Mooney from New York who currently lives in Calgary. After visiting Alexander’s studio few months ago and discovering his “Portrait Series,” it didn’t take long for Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante to develop the idea for the Heads Up exhibition at her downtown Kelowna art gallery. For this exhibition,

while these four artists have portraiture in common, their approach and aesthetic is unique to each of them. Each has decades of individual creative research that provides viewers of the artwork deep insights that goes far beyond the superficial. There are drawings, collages, mixed media, and prints in this exhibition. The significance of Heads Up as an exhibition speaks to these artists’ concepts of investigations of a particular person or their imaginative thoughts in exploring shifting identities. As Carin Covin writes about the participating artists for the exhibition catalogue, Ann Kipling has made a lifelong commitment to the medium of drawing. With the emergence of contemporary drawing as an autonomous discipline in and of itself, it has been described as a medium unencumbered by the patriarchal legacy found within modernism, where drawing was always thought to be preliminary act before producing a painting or a sculpture. David T. Alexander’s works in this exhibition are all on paper. There is no privilege given to archival materials. The choice is

made from what is at hand in the moment. This can mean using commercial papers, millboard which is used in bookmaking, heavy card made from prairie wheat stalks, or archival papers that Alexander has found in stores around the world. Each type of paper reflects a different patina and surface that is unique to each finished portrait. As an artist, Malcolm Mooney embodies the term interdisciplinary, which can be described as a failure to notice boundaries, or rather, an act of creation that involves multiple sites of thinking. Mooney is known for his singing/vocal arts, his poetry, and his visual art work. Robert Bigelow states that he has adopted the practice of automatism and the process of automatic drawing and painting. Art history is familiar with this philosophy on many fronts. As a young man, living with this heightening sense of the monumental changes of values in American society that were occurring all around him in the 1960s in Los Angeles, Bigelow made a commitment to a lifetime discipline of spiritual research and creative practice. “The arts, (visual arts, music, theatre, creative writing, etc.) give us a platform to oppose this drift into compliance,” Bigelow said. When we are looking at the portrait, we are really looking in the mirror. As French philosopher Jacques Lacan suggests, it is only when we are looking at the other that we can recognize

But what I really wanted to write about this week is an actor who is coming to town for a fundraiser. It was 20 years ago that I had one of my best experiences as a theatre manager. On July 28, 1995, Waterworld opened at Landmark Cinemas Paramount Theatre (which I managed at the time), and I played hooky for the first afternoon showing to watch it. (It really was much better than the media made it out to be). That same afternoon, I got a phone call from a man who said he was

Movie Guy

RICK DAVIS in the movie and was wondering if I could reserve 10 seats for him and his family for the early evening show that evening. I thought to myself, “Sure, he was probably one of the extras on the oil tanker cheering whenever Dennis Hopper addressed the masses.” But I took his name and number and out of curiosity phoned the head of marketing at Landmark Cinemas at the time and asked if he had heard of this actor (remember this was before the days of IMDB). As soon as I mentioned the name, the voice on the other end of the phone said something to the effect of do whatever he wants and see if he will do any local publicity for you.

While his role was not very big, it was significant and memorable. He played a character called “Drifter” and he not only introduced Waterworld and talked about his experience

Although he was not the most well-known Canadian actor at the time, he created a buzz in town that lasted for some time.

actor, who played mostly bad guys in movies like The Last Boy Scout with Bruce Willis and The Client with Susan Sarandon. He has had so many TV and movie appearances since the mid-’80s that you could almost create a drinking game around whether or not you see him on-screen on any given night. He also starred in a movie filmed in the Okanagan in the early 1990s that co-starred Canadian music legends Jim Byrnes and Lisa Brokop and directed by Sandy Wilson (My American Cousin). And although he plays “the heavy” in many of his roles, he is one of the nicest people you would want to meet, which brings me to my point. By coincidence, 20 years after he helped create one of my fondest memories being a theatre manager, he will be back in Kelowna to help create memories for others. Up until Sons of Anarchy, Kim Coates was best known to me as Drifter or even Carl Ertz in Entourage, but now he will be forever remembered as Tig. And now you have your chance to meet him and his Anarchy co-star Theo Rossi at Konquer Motorcycles on McCurdy Place in a fundraiser to benefit Kids Care. The cost is $125 which includes a Sons of Anarchy T-shirt and poster.

WHAT’S UP UBCO

Poets ready to read at Eco centre Three poets, a violinist, and a warm summer evening are the key ingredients to Friday’s reading at the Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre. Dubbed Thistledown Press Night, the event scheduled for tonight will feature three notable poets—John Lent, Kelly Shepherd, and Fionncara MacEoin—each of whom has been published by Thistledown Press. Gifted singersongwriter and violinist Karen Shepherd will serenade the audience as the poets take turns reading from their works. John Lent has published eight books of poetry and fiction and a book about the writing life called Abundance. His last novel, So It Won’t Go Away, was short-listed for the B.C. Book Prizes in 2005, and Thistledown Press released a volume of Lent’s poems called Cantilevered Songs in 2009 that was long-listed

for the Re-Lit Award that year. Aesthetically, Lent has specialized in exploring the narrative forms connected to the genre of stream of consciousness fiction. Fionncara MacEoin’s poetry has appeared in The Society, In Medias Res, Transition, CV2, and the chapbook Even the Sky Parts (JackPine Press 2011). Her latest collection, Not the First Thing I’ve Missed, was published by Thistledown Press in 2014. Her work has been called mini short-stories that are quirky and biting minimalist observations on contemporary living. Kelly Shepherd’s fifth poetry chapbook, entitled Fort McMurray Tricksters, was recently published by the Alfred Gustav Press. He has a master’s degree in creative writing from UBC Okanagan, and is a poetry editor for the environmental philosophy journal The Trumpeter.

Shepherd lives and teaches in Edmonton. Thistledown Press will release The Shift, his latest work, in 2016. Thistledown Press was founded in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1975 and since then, its publications have gone on to garner more than a hundred citations and book award wins, including the Governor General’s Award and the Commonwealth Book Prize. Thistledown Press Night takes place tonight (Friday, Aug. 14) at 7 p.m. as part of the Woodshed Reading Series at the Woodhaven Eco Culture Centre at 969 Raymer Road in Kelowna. This is a free event and the public is encouraged to come out and enjoy a midsummer’s evening of entertainment with three literary luminaries, great poetry, and live music. The Woodshed Reading Series is in its second year, and is sponsored by the Canada

Council for the Arts, The faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at UBC, The Association of Literature, Environment and Culture in Canada, and the Regional District of Central Okanagan. Follow the group on Facebook at The Woodshed Readings or the blog ubc.ca/ woodhavencentre for more events all summer.

100 Men Who Give a Damn! The group is made up of men who donate $100 each to one of three nominated charities four times per year. Each quarter they attend a one-hour meeting, hear the fiveminute pitches and decide which charity should get their money. The group calls itself a “nonorganization”because it has no board, no directors, is not registered, does not have a treasurer or officers or even a bank account. The members are the donors and they make the decision each quarter about which charity will get the money they donate. Currently there are 210 members of the Kelonwa Chapterof 100 Men WHo Give A Damn! “The initial gathering

of the group was outstanding,” said Kelowna chapter cofounder Brett Millard. “The pitches from the charities raised awareness for all three organizations and the feeling of giving was alive in the room.” Chris Wills, another co-founder, said with more than 140 of its 210 members present, the event provided an opportunity to socialize and hear the great work of three local charities are doing. He said a total of $18,000 was raised for the winning charity—the CMHA. “The funds CMHA Kelowna received from the event will directly support 30 young people to attend Ready to Rent, a group that helps individuals build the skills and gain knowledge on how to find and maintain rental housing,” said

Shelagh Turner, executive director of CMHA Kelowna. “By being able to offer Ready to Rent in Kelowna, people who haven’t had access to good role models, learn the ins and outs of being a good tenant which really are tools for life. We are so grateful to the 100 Men Who Give a Damn! It’s a brilliant concept. Not only are they changing lives through their generosity, they are building community.” The next event for the donors will be held on Nov. 4 at Bottega Inn & Studio. Three new charities will be randomly selected from a pool of all nominated charities 30 days in advance of the meeting.

First World War exhibit at Kelowna museum

Duty, Honour & Izzat‚ The Call to Flanders Fields is a poignant and powerful exhibit showcasing the pivotal but little known role of the British Indian Army in the First World War, currently on display at the Okanagan Heritage Museum. It runs until the end of August. The centennial of the 1914-1918 First World War is a historic opportunity for Canadians to commemorate those who lost their lives, and to inform today’s youth and diverse communities about the significance of those sacrifices. Canada has a proud Great War record and while its achievements are celebrated, the story of some veterans who fought under the same flag and side by side with Canadians has largely gone untold. These veterans belong to the Punjabi community and they played a pivotal role in the First World War. The exhibit uses displays that showcase, in fascinating detail and vivid visuals, the sacrifices made by Punjabis serving in the BIA during the First World War. It examines their motivations for going to war and highlights the vital role they played.

Jeff Cianflone and his daughter, Julia, wait for the first glimps of the sun at Nauset Light beach in Eastham, Mass., while vacationing on Cape Cod.

Cape Cod’s natural beauty a perfect escape Peter Marteka contributor

CAPE COD, Mass.— The Cape Cod experience, for some, is lathering on the sunscreen, grabbing the boogie board and riding the waves of the cold Atlantic Ocean. For others, it’s eating freshly shucked oysters and cracking a boiled lobster and extracting meat like a skilled surgeon. But for me, the Cape Cod experience is the scent of the pitch pines and crunch of pine needles under foot. It’s

the sun-setting across Cape Cod Bay. It’s standing high on a dune looking out across the Atlantic—”stand there and put all America behind” you, as Henry David Thoreau wrote in his book “Cape Cod.” For me, the best of Cape Cod runs from Chatham north to the tip of Provincetown. This is the home of Cape Cod National Seashore and its 43,500 acres of kettle holes, pitch pine and scrub oak forests and miles of high dunes and sandy beaches.

Rules of Play,

The seashore was created on Aug. 7, 1961, when President John F. Kennedy signed a bill preserving more than 26,500 acres. During a dedication ceremony in 1966, Secretary of the Interior Stewart Udall said the new national park was dedicated to “all people who search for a rendezvous with the land.” “Beyond the noise and asphalt and ugly architecture we yearn for the long waves and the beach grass,” he said. So here are a few

spots along the Cape’s bended arm—beyond the miniature golf courses and seafood shacks— where visitors can still find Cape Cod on a hike or by visiting a piece of its nautical past.

FORT HILL

Although many believe the Cape Cod National Seashore’s Salt Pond Visitor Center is the gateway into the park, your first stop should be Fort Hill, in Eastham. Saved from the bulldozer and subdivisions of huge homes by the creation

of the park, the hill has panoramic views across Nauset Marsh to the dunes and waves of the Atlantic Ocean. From the top of the hill, visitors can see a former Coast Guard station rising high on a bluff. Fishing boats pass in and out of an inlet in the marsh and into the Atlantic Ocean. A hiking trail takes visitors through a field filled with wildflowers. A huge glacial erratic boulder sits near the marsh, a popular climbing spot for children and the young-at-heart. The trail continues past

rock walls—an homage to the area’s agricultural past dating back to the 1600s—and winds back through the fields to the Penniman House, the former home of whaling captain Edward Penniman. He went to sea at 11 years old and by age 29 was captain of his own ship traveling across the world in search of whales. From Route 6 in Eastham, turn east onto Governor Prence Road, then go right on Fort Hill Road and travel to the parking area at the end of the road. Tours of the

Penniman House are 11 a.m. Monday and Friday. There is an open house 1-3 p.m. on Wednesdays. Perhaps the most famous lighthouse within the national seashore is Nauset Light, which adorns Cape Cod Potato Chip bags. The lighthouse is also the location of the popular Nauset Light Beach. But before Nauset Light and potato chips, three clapboard lighthouses known as “The Three Sisters” warned mariners

History, wildlife together CAPE COD FROM B9 of the treacherous sand bars along Cape Cod. Today, the Sisters’ new home is in the middle of an oak and pitch pine forest just to the west of Nauset Light. A trail wraps around the three lighthouses, with a paved path leading to Nauset

Light. “The station got a nickname early on its career,” according to the book Life On The Edge, The Lighthouses of Nauset by J. Brian West. “From offshore, the three towers looked like three ladies in white dresses with black dress hats and veils peering over the

edge of the cliff.” Take Route 6 in Eastham and turn east onto Brackett Road. At end of the road, take a left on Nauset Road and then a right on Cable Road. Look for three lighthouses in the woods about a mile on the left. Tours are 5 p.m. on Sunday and Tuesday with parking at Nauset Light Beach.

Although its outside the borders of the seashore, the Massachusetts Audubon Society’s 937-acre sanctuary showcases the beauty of the Cape Cod Bay side of the outer Cape. With five miles of trails, the sanctuary is home to just about every kind of ecosystem on the Cape, from tidal creeks and marshes filled with scurrying fiddler crabs to deep pitch pine forests and moors filled with wild blueberry bushes. There are a number of overlooks, both manmade and natural, that offer panoramic views of Cape Cod Bay and Great

WELLFLEET BAY WILDLIFE SANCTUARY

The Three Sisters lighthouses were replaced in the 1920s by the current Nauset Light, which is still in operation today. Island. At low tide, the ghostly Billingsgate Island can be seen out in Cape Cod Bay. The island was once home to a fishing community in the 19th century before eroding away. A hike out to Try Island offers some of the most beautiful views. Take Route 6 to Wellfleet/Eastham border and turn west into the sanctuary. There is a fee of $5 for adults and $3 for children.

MARCONI SITE/ ATLANTIC WHITE CEDAR SWAMP

The Marconi Site in Wellfleet is where Guglielmo Marconi— ”The Father of Radio”— built his station that sent the first trans-Atlantic wireless telegram from

President Theodore Roosevelt to England’s King Edward VII in 1903. Today, only a few cement pads remain where the towers once sat. But the site is home to one of the highest points on the Outer Cape, giving it one of the best views not only of the moors and dunes along the Atlantic, but also out to Cape Cod Bay. The area is also home to the extremely rare Atlantic White Cedar Swamp. It’s the kind of forest that greeted explorers when they first landed on Cape Cod. Only a patch of it remains today, with a 1.2-mile trail winding through a pitch pine forest and boardwalk through the dark swamp filled with huge cedar

trees, many of them more than a century old. Turn east off Route 6 at Marconi Beach and then take a quick left for the Marconi site. Follow that to a parking area at the end of the road for both the Marconi site and the Atlantic White Cedar Swamp trail.

UNCLE TIM’S BRIDGE

For many, a wooden bridge across a tidal creek is about as Cape Cod as it gets. And Uncle Tim’s Bridge in Wellfleet is a great spot to see the sunset or explore the skeleton of the old Cape Cod Railroad bridge. The bridge spans Duck Creek and allows visitors to watch the tides rise and fall and explore an island with views out

to Wellfleet Harbor. A hike along the island’s shore will lead to the old railroad bed and the remains of a bridge that once crossed the creek, bringing rail passengers to Provincetown. Traveling Route 6, turn west onto Main Street in Wellfleet. Take a left on Commercial Street and look for Uncle Tim’s Bridge on the left. There is a small parking area just past the bridge.

NORTH TRURO AIR FORCE STATION

Over the past few years, television shows that focus on life after humans have become very popular. A setting for one of those shows could be the former North Truro Air Force Station, a link to our Cold War past abandoned since 1985. Today, the base is home to the Highlands Center at Cape Cod National Seashore—a burgeoning scientific, arts and education community. It is also home to the Woods Walk at Highlands Center, a mile-long trail that wraps around the former radar base to an overlook high above the Atlantic Ocean. Follow Route 6 to Truro, turn east onto South Highland Road and then take a right on Old Dewline Road to the old base. There are tours at 3 p.m. on Sundays. “Millions of people will come here in search of solitude, peace of mind and rejuvenation of the spirit which comes from communing with nature and here they will find what they seek,” former Massachusetts Gov. John A. Volpe said at the dedication ceremony for the Cape Cod National Seashore in 1966.

STEPHENS, KEVIN JOHN

August 22, 1987 – August 11, 2015 It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved son, brother, partner and friend. Kevin was born in Red Deer Alberta to Bill Stephens (Lori) and Diana Reynolds (Bruce). Kevin lived a life full of exuberance, passion, generostiy and kindness. When Kevin was a boy he learned to play guitar. Music would always be a love for Kevin, and many years later would inspire Kevin to play his ukulele all over the world. Kevin was involved in air cadets as a boy, as well as hockey and baseball. It was at age 18, when Kevin discovered a passion for diving and the water. He became an accomplished Dive Instructor, which took him all over the world. The love for travel then inspired Kevin to become a tour guide as well. Kevin was 25 when he worked for a year for Tucan Travel in Asia. He took people to 6 countries for 49 day trips. It was on his first excursion that he met his love and partner, Rhiannon, who then continued to journey with Kevin through life. Kevin was a man with strong humanitarian desires. Throughout his world travels, Kevin always took the time to leave the country better that when he arrived. Through heroic measures on a beach in Kelowna, Kevin’s heart was able to hang on for 3 days, in order to provide organ donation to many people. It was always Kevin’s desire to help make a difference, even in the end. Kevin leaves to mourn his parents, partner Rhiannon, sister Sarah, brother Justin, brother Gavin, aunts, uncles, grandparents and nieces. He also leaves to mourn numerous friends in over 45 countries. A Celebration of Kevin’s life will be held at Willow Park Church on Saturday August 15, 2015 at 1 pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to a marine preservation organization which will be announced on the “We Love You Kevin” facebook page.
