Heavy smoke cover isn’t stopping Okanagan residents from spotting fires—and possibly igniting them—across the valley at a disheartening pace. Melissa Klassen, a fire information officer with B.C. Wildfire, said Thursday there were four fires in the Central Okanagan that crews had to battle back, and most of them were believed to be human-caused. The biggest, so far, is a fire at Little White Mountain, around 25 kilometres southeast of Kelowna. Shortly after it was called in, crews on site recognized quickly that the fire’s behaviour was aggressive, Klassen said, and called in a birddog to fly overhead and see if air
support was needed. Within a short period of time the fire grew to 130 hectares and continued to burn through brush and timber, even as air tankers responded with retardant and water. At the same time a six-hectare fire is burning in Myra-Bellvue Provincial Park. It was spotted when air crews on their way to Little White Mountain flew overhead. Air tankers have also been working feverishly on that fire, and had managed to box it in with retardant by press deadline. Both those fires were suspected to be human caused. Meantime, an earlier reported fire on Chute Lake Road, is posing less of a challenge. “It remains small,” said Klassen, noting
there was one attack crew responding. “It’s suspected to be human caused.” Rounding out the fires in the valley, is Peachland’s second fire in two days. The first was sparked Wednesday when a car fire spread to the grass at the Silver Creek Pullout area of Highway 97 C. It grew to around .4 hectares, and was out within hours. The second was still going as of press deadline Thursday. “It’s along Princeton Avenue, and is estimated at three hectares in size,” Klassen said, noting it was a “mainly smouldering ground fire.” “Air tankers are actioning the fire and they are working at it. Currently it’s 80 per cent surrounded with fire retardant.” The cause is under

CONFUSION WITH GREENS
Party leader remains at odds with local MP candidate Alistair Waters
News this week if he will give up the nomination, Adams replied: “I have no intention of doing that and no plans to do so.” At the same time, he said negotiations are ongoing between himself and proponents of his plan, as well as with the local Green Party electoral district association and the federal party. In a bid to try and unseat Conservative incumbent Ron Cannan, Adams has said he will step down so Liberal Stephen Fuhr will have fewer opponents as he tries to defeat Cannan. Adams said a final decision about what will eventually happen has to be made soon because Elections Canada needs to know if his name will be on the ballot. He said he was surprised it has

The strange case of the seemingly reluctant Green Party candidate in Kelowna-Lake Country just keeps getting stranger. First, after winning the nomination last month, Gary Adams told his party voters before they cast ballots for him he would step down if nominated to support the Liberal candidate running in the riding. Green Party leader Elizabeth May subsequently asked Adams to hold off doing that. But now Adam says he has no intention of relinquishing the nomination despite the federal party not allowing him to support another candidate as long as he is the Green Party’s candidate. Asked by the Kelowna Capital
taken this long to find a resolution to the issue. On Wednesday, the Green Party of Canada’s director of communications said the issue is currently in the hands of the local Green Party electoral district association. But, he said, the federal party does not allow its candidates to support candidates of other parties. “If he’s talking about supporting another party’s candidate, our constitution’s rules and regulations don’t allow for that,” said Julian Morelli. Where the local electoral district association for Kelowna-Lake Country officially stands on the issue and what it is specifically doing is not known because the head of that association Zena Ryder has declined a request to be interviewed.
In a brief email response she said she had no information to provide. The plan for Adams to run for the nomination and then step down to support Fuhr was originally proposed as a formal co-nomination of Fuhr, but that was quickly nixed by the federal Green Party. A watered down “co-operation” agreement was made that would see Fuhr, if elected, consult the local Green Party constituency executive on issues. While based on a memorandum of understanding drawn up between the local Liberals and Greens, Adams said it was not a signed agreement but rather a “handshake deal.” Meanwhile, Adams said he has been working on his campaign but has not been knocking on doors in the riding seeking support.

The former CEO of the KelownaLake Country Green Party electoral district, Angela Nagy, said she asked the federal party about the local plan prior to the nomination meeting and was told it was not allowed under the Green Party’s constitution. But Nagy said party members voting at the nomination meeting were not told that because the meeting’s rules did not allow any other business than the nomination. Nagy lost the CEO position to Ryder in a vote and is now the association’s financial agent. Nagy opposed Adams’s plan. Neither Morelli nor Adams could say when they situation with the Green Party candidate in KelownaLake Country will be settled, with both saying they needed to hear from the other before a final resolution.

As part of its bigger plan to bring back fish stocks in Okanagan Lake and reintroduce sockeye salmon, new signs are springing up at boat launches in Kelowna reminding anglers about the rules for fishing and giving them information about the fish species in the lake. It is the first phase of a program that the new Okanagan Fisheries Foundation hopes will help those who use the lake, think about it differently. “I hate to say it but I think many people look at this lake and think of it as a giant water park,” said Mat Hanson, a fishing guide and president of the fisheries foundation.

Tessa Terbasket, harvest co-ordinator for the ONA’s fishery, said the plan to reintroduce sockeye salmon to Okanagan Lake is underway and has been successful in other lakes in the region. But she said the dam at the south end of the lake in Penticton is currently an impediment to the salmon making it into Okanagan and finding spawning grounds. She also said the

He said his group, which includes partners such as the Okanagan Nation Alliance, the B.C.

Regional Board Highlights – August 2015 Special Events Permits The Regional Board has approved two Special Events Permits for the Kelowna Dirt Bike Club fall season. The club can hold two special race events at its facility adjacent to Bear Creek Forest Service Road that are exempt from provisions of the Noise Bylaw. Temporary Use Permit Renewal The Regional Board has given conditional approval to renew a Temporary Use Permit for up to three years for a medical marijuana production facility proposed for Paradise Valley Drive. The proponent has requested the renewal of the permit (first issued in July 2014) to accommodate Health Canada inspection and licensing of a facility on a 4-hectare parcel in the Trepanier area. The property owner is also in the process of seeking a lot consolidation/boundary adjustment with two adjacent properties in order to meet the 8-hectare minimum parcel size required by the Regional District for medical marijuana production. Green Communities Reporting Efforts by the Regional District to work towards achieving Climate Action Charter commitments have been acknowledged by the joint BC-Union of BC Municipalities Green Communities Committee. The RDCO has created a baseline inventory and reporting of corporate greenhouse gas emissions.

current drought is expected to have a devastating effect on salmon returns to local waters this year. While 300,000 returning salmon would normally be expected, this year, because of heat and the low water levels, only 10,000 to 30,000 will come back, she said. Despite that, Terbasket said fish experts are confident sockeye, once back in Okanagan Lake, will thrive in the deeper, cooler water. They are already doing well in the warmer, shallower water of Skaha Lake, she said. Sockeye prefer cooler water. Meanwhile, the second phase of the sign program is expected to be complete by the spring of 2017, with signs at boat launches all the way from Vernon to Penticton. “Our ultimate goal is for healthy, vibrant and sustainable fisheries in the Okanagan Valley and to see recreational and sport fishing rooted in Okanagan Valley tourism like it is in many other regions of B.C.,” said Hanson in a news release from the Okanagan Fisheries Foundation. “This signage project is the first step in our mind, to gaining ground towards this goal while helping to protect and preserve the current fishery by developing a culture of stewardship from the community at large and visitors to Okanagan Lake.”

Back Pain Effectively Treated At Kelowna Clinic One third of the population suffers from chronic back pain, which impacts everything from quality of life to relationships and careers. Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat? First, each painful episode creates inflammation and scar tissue. Scar tissue has only 70% the strength of normal tissue, making it prone to re-injury. Scar tissue is not flexible, so with every movement comes more inflammation and scar tissue, leading to recurrences of back pain. Second, scar tissue alters the functioning of surrounding joints, reducing the nutrition getting to the joints (a major contributor to disc degeneration and joint arthritis).

to live with it. I want you to know that there is hope, that there is a highly successful, evidence-based treatment for many types of chronic pain. It is being used increasingly by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize their patients’ conditions and create longer lasting results and it has been used as an adjunct in my office for the past five years with success rates of up to 91%. This treatment is called Shockwave therapy (or ESWT) and while it was initially developed to break up kidney stones, it has been used for the past 20 years to effectively break up scar tissue, restore the function of the muscle and promote new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. It is effective on many conditions including (but not limited to) back, foot, and arm pain. Results are often experienced within a few visits; treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

In my practice, I see back, neck, and shoulder pain, lower back and sciatic pain, and post-surgical pain. It’s been there for months to years and many therapies have failed to relieve it because most therapies work best on recent injuries.

Much to learn from gazing at the sky Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
“We are a way for the universe to know itself. Some part of our being knows this is where we came from. We long to return. And we can, because the cosmos is also within us. We’re made of star stuff,” the late Carl Sagan once said. Whether it is a sense of belonging that’s caused mankind to tilt its head to the sky for as long as its walked on two feet isn’t clear, but Sagan’s famous quote does speak to the pull astronomy, and for that matter astrology, has had on mankind over time.
But, does it still have our attention? Members of the Okanagan Observatory think it should, but modern times may have shifted our focus. “We are so far removed from looking at the skies. Skies used to mean everything to us. Our ancestors knew exactly what was up there and what it was doing,” said Colleen O’Hare of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Okanagan Centre. “Now we just go from our well lit houses to our well lit shopping malls and we just really miss that connection with the universe.”
In an effort to remind Okanganites the hold the heavens have had on us, they open up their facility on Big White Road to the public every Friday night. “It’s quite overwhelming to show people their first look at the Milky Way, or at planets,” said O’Hare. “We were looking at Saturn last (Friday) and to see the reconnection… well, we get more out of it than they do.” The astronomy club has been around since the 1990s, but in 2008 the Okanagan Observatory was opened to ensure star gazers could get the best view. On Friday nights

members start their evening off at their theatre, where they show visitors what they will be looking at that night. Then they move over to their club memberbuilt, 25-inch mirrored telescope. “It’s the biggest amateur-built telescope in all of B.C.,” she said. In recent months, they got the funding to allow people with mobility challenges to also do a bit of star gazing. “Last year Interior Savings Credit Union gave us the money to purchase this eye piece…it allows people with disabilities, such as wheelchairs, direct visual access to the skies, like everyone else,” she said. Then this year Kelowna Rotary Club offered up funds for a monthly bus trip for people with mobility challenges. It’s been a great new addition to the club, which is always working to bring the stars to local children. “We have a kids astronomy club, which right now is a monthly newsletter telling them what to look for; what the moon will be doing and all kinds of different activities,” she said.

news _____________________________________________________________________ RORY MURTLAND
One-year-old begins fight to overcome cancer Rory Milo Murtland was diagnosed with stage four, high-risk, neuroblastoma shortly after his first birthday earlier this month. His parents, Daylene and Mack, were devastated with the news and never suspected that their lives would be turned upside down so suddenly. Rory was not presenting as a sick child, nor did he show any signs of being in pain. The only telling sign that something was wrong was a swollen eye earlier this summer. They took baby Rory to the doctor and were first referred to an eye
specialist who knew right away that his eye wasn’t what was causing the problem. They were then sent to the hospital for immediate testing and a CT scan revealed that Rory has tumors in his head and the doctors suspected more throughout his body. That night, Daylene and Mack were presented with their worst nightmare; at just 12 months old, Rory has cancer. Rory and his parents are now down at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver where Rory underwent several surgeries including a
biopsy of the tumor and bone marrow. The primary tumor was found in his abdomen and more tumors were uncovered throughout his body. Neuroblastoma is a rare childhood cancer with
about 50 to 70 new cases diagnosed in Canada every year. Rory’s treatment is chemotherapy, which began on Aug. 18, and will continue for eight to nine months depending

Gas price fixing in Okanagan couldn’t be more blatant To the editor: It continually amazes me, how, we in the Okanagan Valley, are taken advantage of every day.
LETTER OF THE WEEK Having just returned from a few weeks in Ontario where gas ranged from 92 cents per litre to $1.05 per litre. What I noticed there was competition among all the different gas stations. Unlike the Okanagan Valley where gas prices are fixed by the distributor and/or fixed by oil company management, and the fact is, there seems to be no one to stop these greedy bastards. Oil is at an all-time low and we

are paying the highest prices in the country by 45 cents per litre. Newfoundland, where, everything is brought to the island by ship, are paying $1.01 per litre [Prices as of Aug 25]. Victoria B.C. is paying $1.22 per litre. So, maybe it is time for people of this valley to start calling our elected officials and tell them in no uncertain terms to get off their ass and start doing something about these inflated fixed gas prices here in the valley taking place right under their noses. I realize they don’t give a damn as their gas is paid for by us, the taxpayer. It is election time and it is high time we started asking some serious questions and demanding some serious results from these people we are paying six figure plus incomes to. Ian MacLean, Kelowna
What if T-Rex could have voted for change? Now I know how the dinosaurs felt. When that giant asteroid smashed Kathartic into the earth, causing worldwide forest fires, tsunamis and an ‘impact winter,’ they must have been really KATHY confused as life as they knew it MICHAELS withered beneath a heavy blanket of smog. It must have made poor T-Rex want to cover his eyes in horror, but alas, his stubby arms wouldn’t have allowed that. Too far with dino empathizing? Probably. But T-Rex’s short arms have always seemed like a feature worth discussing and, more importantly, as our days grow cool beneath a smoky haze, I can’t help but think that their fate seems remarkably similar to our current plight. Where we differ from our predecessors, of course, is that our arms are long enough to scratch our heads and our brains are big enough to come up with some solutions. Or, at least they should be. Trouble is that economic interests always seem to trump environmental issues. When I was a younger, less-jaded reporter all things green seemed to preoccupy both our government and the business community. Greenhouse gas production was being scaled back as a hydrogen highway stretching all the way from Los Angeles to Whistler was plotted out. Covering the Okanagan’s obsession with

development was an exercise in Earth-friendly thinking back then, too. If you read this paper eight or so years ago, you probably could have made a drinking game out of how many times the term LEED made it into the paper. Your liver will thank you if you
didn’t. One time I was interviewing a builder type, however, and I asked how long he figured it would take until all homes were built in a way that was more at one with the world we live with. He told me that would never happen. The economy would eventually take a hit, and then all things green would turn brown as the pursuit for gold became more intense. He claimed to have seen it at least half a dozen times over his life. I figured he was just a grump. Then Americans killed the economy and grumpy seemed brainy. We now know there will never be a hydrogen highway. But, more importantly, we know that governments put their focus on the economy above all else. Pipelines, fracking, oil sands and wider highways have been the most all-consuming news topics of the last few years. Newsroom: Sean Connor, Warren Henderson, Kathy Michaels, Kevin Parnell, Jean Russell, Alistair Waters Advertising: Tracy Cole, Ron Harding, Teresa Huscroft-Brown, Sheri Jackson, Robert Lindsay, Rick Methot,Christine Mould, Megan Munro, Meghan Toews, Al Tomiak, Kimberley Vico Classified: Michelle Trudeau, Emily Vergnano Production: Nancy Blow, Janice Collier, Shayla Graf, Kiana Haner-Wilk, Fatima Hartmann, Nadine Krahn, Tiffany
All the while, scientists and environmental organizations were ringing alarm bells about rising sea levels, melting polar ice caps and soaring temperatures. Today we get news that fracking is causing earthquakes in the northern reaches of B.C., while we literally breathe in the remnants of a region ravaged by fires. Then, add to the mix that they’re getting snowstorms in Alberta. Seems to me that the “extreme weather events” we’ve been warned of for the last decade or more have decided to rear their ugly heads, and it’s not just costing us our health. The simple fact is that if these events continue as we’ve seen them this summer, they’re going to have a cataclysmic effect on the economy, and not in some far off land. Here, at home, tourism has obviously taken a hit from the smoke, and if this is indeed the new normal, as Premier Christy Clark alluded to when she was at a Westside fire earlier this summer, how many jobs will be lost? Who will even want to live here? It’s enough to make someone want to throw up their hands in despair, but given there’s an election in the offing maybe we can do better. Maybe, we can keep these issues in mind and head to the ballot box this October to affect change in a way that the poor dinosaurs couldn’t. @KelownaNewsKat

Tax on natural gas is 60% of its price
NOW
To the editor: In 2008, the B.C. Liberals introduced North America’s one and still only carbon tax. There was an “offsetting” reduction in income tax, which benefits the very well paid much more than the poor or the pensioner. The major flaw with the tax is that it is
a flat rate, not a percentage. If it were a percentage it would automatically adjust with market prices. The way it stands now, no matter what you pay for gasoline, it is 6.67 cents per litre. Here is the kicker. The rate on natural gas is 5.7 cents per cubic metre. At current gas
prices that works out to 60 per cent of the cost of gas. My last Fortis bill had my cost of gas at $2.73 and carbon tax of $1.64. I wonder if Norm Letnick or Christy ‘Photo Op’ Clark would like to comment on this? Bruce Stevenson, Kelowna
DOG CONTROL
DROUGHT DISTRESS
Give bears a break this fall Spying on neighbours To the editor: A week or so ago, a young bear showed up at the farm. He was a healthy three-yearold who seemed well behaved. He avoided people and spent most of his time grazing in the hayfield. With the tremendous stress placed on wildlife this hot dry summer, we should do all we can to facilitate survival for many creatures.
To help save bears, first and foremost, we must not habituate them to garbage. Don’t put out your garbage overnight. Secure freezers and garbage bins. Our young visitor isn’t around any more. He was shot; probably for tipping garbage bins.

DROUGHT MANAGEMENT
Curb climate change and limit growth To the editor: The Okanagan Valley is Canada’s driest ecosystem and is being observed as the nation’s “canary in the coal mine” to see if water management plans can be developed to sustain human and non-human uses under the triple threat of climate change, industrial expansion and human population growth. To date, federal government policies have failed to reduce national and global greenhouse gas emissions and nothing is being done to modify climate change in the Okanagan. As a result, snow packs, stream flows, lake levels and water supplies are at extremely low levels. Warm temperatures in the valley increase the rates of surface water evaporation, crop water losses and irrigation. To many, the thought of limiting industrial expansion and population growth in the valley may seem abhorrent but it is absolutely necessary to ensure a sustainable long-term water supply in the future. The cumulative effects of uncontrolled climate change combined with the practice of growing the Okanagan economy, adding more people, more housing and more industries such as tourism, agriculture, fruit processing, brewing, distilling, wine making
and golf will soon outstrip the valley’s water supply. The health and abundance of Okanagan fish stocks indicates just how well the valley’s arid, semi-desert environment is being managed. Unfortunately, scientists are predicting that 2015 will set an all time low for the fewest number of Okanagan River salmon ever returning. This is troubling news and sends the message that current environmental management plans are not working and need urgent and drastic change. There are limits to growth in the Okanagan Valley and we get closer to them each year. This is a very sensitive environment that is water limited. Mismanaging water is not a viable option. A water management plan that clearly sets limits for water, fish, human and industrial uses in the valley is needed. Using more water than is available outstrips the water supply. Raising taxes and water rates cannot create more water. The only viable option is to limit population and industrial growth. Richard Drinnan, Kelowna
COST OF SMOKING
To the editor: Did you know that in order for RDCO Dog Control to enforce a barking dog violation in the City of Kelowna, Lake Country, Peachland, West Kelowna, or Central Okanagan East and West, and to convict a barking dog owner, RDCO needs two different property owners to complain about the barking. RDCO Dog Control also need both complainants to get a visual of the barking dog. The neighbours complaining about the barking may have to go out to try and see the dog barking in the middle of the night in their pjs, so the complainants can identify which dog in which yard may be barking. In many cases complainants can’t even see a dog barking due to obstructions or it is dark. RDCO dog control officers tell complainants to take a photo or video the barking dog, but this puts complainants safety at risk, and exposes who is complaining about the barking dog. It also puts fear into other neighbours who believe there may be a prowler, Peeping Tom or stalker in the neighbourhood. I feel RDCO dog control should be the ones getting the visual of a barking dog, how about you? If you don’t want Peeping Toms or stalkers or prowlers in your neighbourhood, seeking a barking dog, please call RDCO chief administrative officer Brian Reardon, 250-763-4918, and your city or rural area director or councillor to let them know you don’t want your neighbours stalking your neighbourhood trying to get a visual of a neighbours barking dog, because you feel this should be RDCO dog control’s job as it’s RDCO who has the authority. That is why they are paid. Sharon Schnurr, Kelowna

The indie rock band Derrival is launching its western Canada tour in Kelowna on Saturday at Fleetwood Public House, 2400 Highway 97. The tour will help promote their new EP, Departure & Arrival, which launched on Aug. 21. Derrival formed in Vancouver six years ago, and lead singer and rhythm guitarist Adam Mah described them as an indie-rock band combined with European synth-pop elements. Departure & Arrival was written by the members of Derrival and took them over one year to complete.
Mah explained the main theme of the album is relationships such as the lead track, Shoes Grow Smaller, which is about his parents. This will be Derrival’s second western Canada tour, and they also played in Kelowna last time. Derrival will be playing with local bands at each of their stops, and Mah said they are really looking forward to meeting the other bands and finally getting their tour underway after a lot of preparation. Departure & Arrival can be purchased on iTunes. The album will be available at tour locations as well as on the band’s website, derrival.ca.

news _____________________________________________________________________ BAREFOOT ON THE BOARDWALK
Spread the word of urgent need for donated shoes For the shoe charity that puts footwear on those in need, it seemed only fitting that its annual fundraiser would give participants a chance to ‘walk a mile in their shoes.’ The Kelowna-based Shoe Bank Canada is
hoping nearly 300 people will slide off their flipflops and sneakers to join in the upcoming Barefoot on the Boardwalk. “We’re all about putting shoes on people’s feet, and charities need income to make good things happen,” said
Shoe Bank Canada cofounder Jim Belshaw, owner of Roy’s Shoes in downtown Kelowna. “There are so many runs and walks in this city, we wanted to do something a little different and make it meaningful to our
Look for your copy of the
mission, as well as fun and family-friendly.” Barefoot on the Boardwalk, which takes place Saturday, Sept. 12, will see participants gather at the City Park boardwalk (near the water park at Hot Sands Beach) before kicking off
t
their heels and walking two kilometres barefoot. Nearly 130 people registered for the inaugural Barefoot on the Boardwalk, which raised critical shipping and operational funds for the shoe bank. “For every dollar we

raise, we can put a pair of shoes on someone,” said Belshaw, who reminds participants that if they were to get 10 pledges of just $10, that’s 100 pairs of shoes. “That would go a long, long way.” Belshaw opened the shoe bank in 2010, shortly after the earthquake in Haiti. After a shoe drive that saw locals donate nearly 45,000 pairs of shoes, Belshaw opened the warehouse to locals before sending them overseas.“It became apparent so quickly that the need for footwear locally is so great, and just as important.” Since then the charity has been committed to helping the less fortunate in the Okanagan first before shipping shoe donations overseas. To facilitate that, in July 2014, the organization opened a shoe bank, set up just like a shoe store, across from the Kelowna Community Food Bank.
Since then, and with the help of nearly 20 local service agencies guiding the qualifying process and handing out ‘shoe vouchers,’ the shoe bank has provided 4,000 pairs of shoes to those in need in Kelowna. As a national organization now with shoe drives and permanent drop-off sites across B.C., Alberta and Ontario, shoes are also shipped to 30 B.C. communities before excess footwear is shipped to those in need overseas. Barefoot on the Boardwalk registration is $20/person or $100 for a team of six friends or coworkers. Each registrant receives a T-shirt and a bottle of water. Register online at FreshAir.ca or in person at either Fresh Air locations or at Roy’s Shoes until 5 p.m., Friday Sept. 11. Last-minute registrants are also welcome from 10:30 a.m. on the event day.

Autumn garden tour will be worth the visit to Penticton The Friends of Summerland Ornamental Gardens (SOG) are putting on their second Autumn Garden Tour, Saturday, Sept. 19, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.. Their first garden tour, held two years ago in Summerland, was excellent and his one looks to be well worth driving to Penticton to visit 10 very diverse gardens. I’m really looking forward to the native wetland garden created from a backyard swimming pool. Check articles online about it on CBC news (Aug. 6), thetyee.ca (July 29). One of two working gardens supplies produce for Lakeside Resort. There are bees, chickens, an Italian honey fig tree and a diversity of vegetables and berries. Restaurant kitchen waste is composted with coffee grounds and chicken manure to enrich the soil. Interesting additions to some gardens include art displays, saddler craft, food prepared from
Gardening With Nature GWEN STEELE vegetables grown on site and local wine tasting. The tour has edible gardens, natural gardens, water-wise gardens and town and country gardens.

Smith says: “I am a
complete amateur gardener. I’ve probably killed as many plants as I’ve grown. However, in an effort to grow more food and less grass, I stumbled upon this method of vegetable gardening while on Facebook (of all places!). “I thought it could work for my yard situation. Initially I faced the snickers and smart comments from my neighbours, but certainly had the last laugh when they saw this garden flourish into an overabundance of vegetables.” Straw bale gardening is an effective, easy, weedfree form of gardening, and Smith is excited to share his knowledge.’ The talk, free for members, is $2 for guests or drop-ins. I’m very interested in this as it uses xeriscape principles—reducing lawn, eliminating weed growth and producing food. ••• The Okanagan Basin

Sports WHL HOCKEY
whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
If all unfolds as planned over the next couple of seasons, the Kelowna Rockets’ future will feature not one but two Footes. Defenceman Cal Foote, the WHL club’s second round bantam pick in 2014, has designs on cracking the Rockets’ lineup this fall. His younger brother, forward Nolan Foote, who is attending the team’s rookie camp this week at Prospera Place, hopes to follow suit in the not-too-distant future. Both natives of Engelwood, Colorado, the siblings are the sons of former NHL defenceman Adam Foote. Based on the opportunities afforded to U.S.-born players back in their home country, player personnel director Lorne Frey said the Rockets are fortunate to have landed both young prospects. “We’ve been fortunate to say the least,” Frey said. “When we drafted Cal, we didn’t know for sure the direction they
were going to go. “They took interest to come and have a look here last year, we were fortunate Adam decided this was for Cal and we were able been able to get him signed, Frey continued. “In the process we drafted Nolan and he wants to be here too. We’re excited to have both of them.” Nolan Foote was the Rockets’ first choice, 43rd overall in this May’s WHL bantam draft. Frey said there’s a lot to like about the younger Foote who is coached by his dad back in Denver. “(Nolan) going to be a big young man, he’s a good skater, he has very good puck skills and is aggressive,” Frey said of Nolan Foote, who stands at 6-foot-2. “He’s the full package and does everything very, very well.” Foote was thrilled to be drafted by the Rockets, not only because of the franchise’s reputation by the possibility of one day playing with his brother. “It was something I was hoping for, I wanted to play with Cal and
The Kelowna Rockets top two picks in the WHL bantam draft this spring, forwards Nolan Foote (left) and Ted Brennan, have shown well this week at the team’s rookie camp. hopefully I get the chance to,” said the younger Foote. “It was great to come up here after the draft (in May), see the barn and the place, see
how amazing it was. (Camp) has gone well, I like the people and the organization. I’d love to make the team next year.” The Rockets have also
been impressed with the progress made by their second choice from 2015, Ted Brennan, a product of Malahat, B.C. “He’s been very good, a big guy, always liked
him,” Frey said. “He’s a good 200-foot player, good offensively and defensively, a big strong guy that can skate, he makes good plays and he’s turned out as we
hoped he would.” Brennan, who will play this coming season with the B.C. Major Midget League’s South Island Royals, has enjoyed his first major exposure to the Rockets organization. “I couldn’t be happier,” said Brennan, Kelowna’s third round choice. “Great organization, great city, nice people…I want to play here for sure.” Frey said a third forward has also shown well this week at camp, North Vancouver’s Liam Kindree who the Rockets grabbed in the fourth round, 87th overall. “A little smaller, but very skilled, strong on his feet and competes hard,” Frey said of Kindree. The rookie portion of camp wraps up Friday afternoon at Prospera Place, with a handful of players expected to be held over for main training camp. Under the guidance of rookie head coach Brad Ralph, main training camp’s on-ice sessions begin Saturday at 9 a.m. @capnewsports.ca

Brad Ralph is entering his rookie season as a head coach in the Western Hockey League.
New coach hopes to be quick study Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
Coaching a hockey team is nothing new to Brad Ralph. What’s unfamiliar this season for the Richmond, Ont. native is the both city and league in which he’ll be plying his trade. Ralph, 34, is the
new head coach of the Kelowna Rockets, taking over the reins from Dan Lambert who departed this summer for a job with the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres. Ralph arrives in the Okanagan with five years of professional coaching experience, the last three with the East Coast
Hockey League’s Idaho Steelheads. Because pretty much everything in Kelowna will be new to the Rockets’ bench boss, Ralph said he’ll exercise both patience and sound planning in trying to make the transition a smooth one. “There’s a lot involved
in the process for me, being new and pretty much everyone else is in place, so that will take time,” said Ralph, who relocated to Kelowna from Boise, Idaho this month with his wife and two children. “I think my immediate goal is to make sure the systems are in place so

DOUGLAS FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
An injured left ankle didn’t stop Madison Kapchinsky from leaving the rest of the field behind at the 2015 edition of the Kelowna Golf and Country Club’s Ladies Open. A member of Kelowna Springs and Black Mountain Golf Clubs, Kapchinsky carded rounds of 73 and 71 for a twounder par total of 144, to finish nine strokes better than runner-up Lynda Palahniuk of the host club. Kapchinsky had her left ankle taped up due to a mishap on Monday, Aug. 17 at the Vancouver Golf Club. During the qualifying round for the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open, she stepped awkwardly on a drain and rolled her ankle. All things considered, Kapchinsky was happy with her first win at the Ladies Open. “I think I felt and played as good as I could with the way my ankle was,” said Kapchinsky, 21. “It was sprained and pretty bruised, by I had it taped up pretty well so I managed to get through

As is often the case, it was her short game that carried her to victory. She needed just 28 putts in the second round to secure the sizeable win. “I work hard at my putting and maybe some of it’s natural, too, but it
is the strong part of my game,” she said. While Palahniuk placed second (153), there was a four-way tie for third with Jodee Smith of the Okanagan Golf Club, KGCC’s Jo-Anne Grove and Marli Mikulecky and the Harvest Club’s Andrea Zanatta all coming in at 159. The overall low net winner was Gwen Helfrich of Black Mountain with a two-day score of 137.
The Kelowna Golf and Country Club’s Rob Anderson tied for 11th place at the PGA of B.C. Championship in Oliver. Anderson’s two-day score of 144 (73-71) was worth $570 and eight shots back of winner and three-time champ Bryan Parry of Surrey. Okanagan Golf Club’s Clay Stothers and the Harvest Club’s Finlay Young finished in a fiveway tie for 19th at 146.

Blame shifts from negligent driver to injured victim I have written previously about the critically important goal, for car crash victims, of actively pursuing as full and quick a recovery as possible. And of course, isn’t that the goal of anyone who has sustained an injury, regardless of the cause? Only a car crash victim, though, will end up sitting across from an ICBC defence lawyer at an examination for discovery. With the 20/20 vision of sometimes sarcastic hindsight, the defence lawyer will go step by step through the clinical history asking why this or that further step wasn’t taken to try to get better. The ICBC defence lawyer is hoping to shift at least some of the blame from the negligent driver to the injured victim. It’s along the lines of other “Yeah, but” defence tactics: “Yes,
Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT I hurt you, but it’s your own fault you still have symptoms because you didn’t do enough to get better.” The legal terminology is a “failure to mitigate.” Our civil justice system imposes a duty on those seeking to recover fair compensation for their losses, to take reasonable steps to keep those losses to a minimum. It’s a common sense and fair notion. This common sense and fair notion can be warped to the point that it is horribly unfair, though. One example is obesity. Your weight has always been a challenge for you. You have tried this and that diet; bought gym memberships; tried
psychological counseling. You have tried your very best. You are then the victim of a car crash. Your injuries leave you with lower back pain that you never had before the crash. You undergo all sorts of therapy. You participate in “active rehabilitation” of stretching and strengthening exercises. Your back pain lingers. You are sent by ICBC to a medical specialist who comes up with the answer—by losing weight, your back pain will be reduced or even eliminated. The blaming finger starts pointing in your direction. All you have to do to get better is to lose weight. Why are you not doing more to lose weight? Before the crash, you tried every diet in the book and struggled to be
ROCK CREEK/BOUNDARY FAIR
Wildfire won’t stop annual fair The Rock Creek and Boundary Fair Association wants the public to know the Rock Creek Fairgrounds have been untouched by the Rock Creek wildfire, which means the Rock Creek Fall Fair will carry on as planned, Sept. 19 and 20. “Our hearts and hands are with our friends and neighbours right now, but we are still working away to bring about another ‘best ever’ Rock Creek Fall Fair,” said the event organizers this week.
“Our line up of entertainment and activities has not changed. The Rock Creek Fall Fair is a yearly reminder to locals and visitors what a great area this is, full of great people—it will be no different this year.” As well, in response to calls offering help for local residents who lost their homes to the fire, the fair association has set up a donation fund on its website, rockcreekfallfair.ca.
active to burn calories. Since the crash you’ve gained even more weight because of even less activity, and you are now dealing with back pain. How grossly unfair to use this against you as a “failure to mitigate.” Fortunately, our court system is there to protect us from common sense and fair notions being twisted by ICBC defence lawyers to be used in grossly unfair ways. In the 2012 case of Delgiglio v. British
Columbia (Public Safety and Solicitor General) 2012 BCSC 480, the court considered and rejected the defence argument that Mr. Delgiglio, who had struggled with lifelong obesity, had failed to mitigate his losses. In doing so, Madam Justice Gropper quoted from and relied on the following legal principles that had been set out in a previous case: “The law does not require a plaintiff to do that which cannot

Guns: Americans remain unmoved by tragic shooting It’s a stark reminder how mankind often seems to find a way to ruin a good thing. In this case, it’s about our ability to regularly twist technology into something destructive. The senseless, shocking shooting in Roanoke, Virginia, earlier this week of a TV reporter and cameraman during a live interview illustrates yet another scenario highlighting the evolution of the ugly side to the Internet. As this tragedy quickly
Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE unfolded, it appears the deranged perpetrator of the double murder planned and carried out the execution with the full intention of recording the killing and then immediately posting it online for millions to view. That is a twisted and terrifying thought process
with potential to set a tragic trend copied by other equally messed up minds. It’s also another reminder of the archaic gun laws and mind set of many of our neighbours to the south who believe it to be their Godgiven (constitutionally guaranteed) right to bear arms. One should not be shocked at such violence anymore in a nation where more than 270
mass murders have happened already this year. The tragic shooting of the reporter and cameraman has drawn the ire of many U.S. leaders, including President Barack Obama and Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The callous truth, however, is that despite the public outcry and the political posturing, absolutely nothing will change. Undoubtedly, we will

that nation’s attention. And sadly, rest assured, there will be another one. For all the joy the Internet brings into so many homes, reconnecting old friends and family,there is the ugly side. Humans are incapable of having something potentially positive and simply leave it as such. We have to tinker with trouble. There is a chicken or egg irony of course. In truth, so many of the great advancements in technology or inventions we enjoy today had their creative roots spawned by man’s propensity for war or weapons of destruction. That includes much of our computer technology. ••• Speaking of politicians, welcome now to the federal election silly season, the campaign now already into its fourth week. Not sure about you, but I am almost fed up already. Like many Canadians, I am once again feeling torn over the decisions ahead. I admit to wishing we had an election day box option for ‘None Of The Above.’ In truth, there is little separation of political stripes anymore in
hear a plethora of reactive comments and newscasts about the incident, but all of the protests and concerns will amount to diddly-squat at the end of the day. Gun reform legislation in the United States would require a nationwide ruling to be truly effective and the odds of either U.S. party making that an election platform is unfathomable. Such a bold move would be akin to the Liberals or Conservatives in Canada abolishing the Senate. Don’t hold your breath as asphyxiation is a horrible way to die. Since the birth of our neighbour nation, guns have ruled their way. It’s a lifestyle that, for too long, has been supported and sanctioned. Gun ownership in the United States is a twisted tradition almost on par with the Canadian obsession of apologizing for everything. (I’m sorry—did I just say that?) Sadly, a few more weeks of discussion on TV talks shows, in office coffee rooms and online chat forums will continue regarding this recent shooting—and then the incident will fade into the past, only to be repeated when the next incident happens that captures

Canada. The lines have been significantly blurred over the years between policies and priorities. And even after certain philosophies have been expounded and promised, rarely do they actually remain valid once the anointed party is in power. Several times in the past I decided to vote for the representative in my riding rather than the party, rationalizing that while I may not be crazy about the party or the leader I like the local rep. That has been the case with my friend Ron Cannan, who I believe has done a good job for his riding supporters. But I’m struggling with my decision already for this election because I simply cannot support Conservative Party leader Stephen Harper. I have no doubt that Cannan’s job is safe in this riding. (There’s still a blue streak here so thick that God could run for the NDP or Liberals and have a difficult time topping the polls). That said, I am not sure the Conservatives are safe across Canada. The party might have been wise to have anointed another leader by now, someone who has not ticked off nearly every breathing voter in the land. However, as usual for parties in Canada, no one planned ahead. Nearly as damaging to the Conservatives chances under Harper’s leadership is the asinine and insulting advertisements the party campaign strategists have put on television. The creative brains behind their marketing may think the ads using representatives from multiple cultures to poke fun and put down Justin Trudeau is effective, but to me it’s quite the opposite. It makes one ponder if the party head honchos are so naive as to not see how dumb and mixed message their ads are. So why should we expect them to run the country well?

Display ties in with Okanagan Lake tributary spawning runs The land locked kokanee salmon are making their annual spawning run along the many tributaries of Okanagan Lake or along the lakeshore itself. During the late summer and fall, local streams will be full of the red, fresh water cousins of the sockeye. Now through early October, the public is invited to learn more about this interesting and important fish to the Okanagan at the Kokanee Exhibit in the
Environmental Education Centre for the Okanagan (EECO). The facility is open Tuesday through Sunday in Mission Creek Regional Park, on corner of Springfield at Durnin roads.

With September on the horizon, it means the return of the United Way of Central and South Okanagan/Similkameen annual Workplace Campaign Kickoff— Breakfast of Community Champions. Business leaders and United Way supporters are invited to gather for a sit-down breakfast to celebrate the accomplishments of last year’s campaign, set the pace and goals for 2015 and acknowledge the great work done throughout the community to help those in need. The breakfast will take place Wednesday, Sept. 9, from 7 to 9 a.m., at the Coast Capri Hotel. This year’s breakfast will include local celebrity servers, several comedians, a few sports personalities, and some well-known local VIPs who have offered their time to help the United Way cause. The breakfast will also enable participants to see and hear the stories of those impacted by United Way programs and agencies it supports. United Way will highlight the collective efforts of its supporters in effecting positive change on the three United Way
focus areas: • helping kids be all they can be • moving people from poverty to possibility, and • building strong, healthy communities. “Our community’s success depends on all of us,” said Shelley Gilmore, executive director of United Way CSO. “We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable with the resources they need and when people are connected to their community. “United Way wouldn’t be able to make the impact it has in our community without the support of our partners, workplace campaigns, and volunteers. “This is an event to celebrate their accomplishments
2nd Annual
because together, we are possibility.” The Kickoff Breakfast is a great opportunity to learn how community partners and agencies work to help 1 in 3 people in the region, plus learn about the exciting programs and new initiatives from this year’s campaign, she added. “We have a lofty campaign goal in front of us and doors to open for those in need within our region,” noted Bruce Olson, United Way CSO board chair. “On behalf of the board, I invite everyone out to our kick-off breakfast as this is where it can all start with you and where lives can be changed.” You can register online for the breakfast at the website unitedwaycsokickoff.com.
For 65 years, the United Way of the Central and South Okanagan/ Similkameen has served the region from Lake Country in the north, to Osoyoos and Princeton in the south. Its community impact mission captures the essence of what United Way is all about: Improve lives and build community by engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action.

The Women’s Enterprise Centre provides business loans, business advisory services, mentoring programs and information support for female business owners throughout British Columbia. As the CEO, Douglas runs the organization, has staff in five different locations across the province and helps the organization stay current and fill gaps in the marketplace. While Douglas currently works in more of a helping profession in economic development and social enterprise, that wasn’t always her field. She began her career in finance after university and after earning her MBA on a scholarship in France, she continued to work in Europe for nearly
a decade. Between school and work, Douglas spent six years in France, then worked in Germany for almost two years and finally spent close to two more years working in the United Kingdom. Those years overseas were of tremendous benefit to her, as they taught her to embrace and value diversity as a way to get better outcomes and gave her a global perspective she otherwise wouldn’t have. “The role I had in France after I finished my MBA, I was in charge of strategic planning for a very large multi-national that had manufacturing in 22 different countries, and I used to have to go and visit the managing directors of all those divisions,” Douglas explained. “So I definitely

She spent 16 years in the tech industry, an industry that had very few women in it. “All of those experiences made me realize some of the extra challenges women had, not only as business owners,” she noted. “I think about 36 or 37 per cent of small businesses in BC are run by women. “Being a woman in business in general has had its challenges over the years, and I wanted to help other women. I’m in
a helping profession. “The last few roles I had in the tech sector were also in a helping profession, so first I mad the transition from straight business to helping professions, then I made the transition from helping tech companies to helping women.” Douglas’ career overseas has given her many great experiences to draw from. While in France, she was brought on to be part of a strategic development team to help with the purchase and merger of a French and an American business, which when combined had a worth of $20 billion and over 100,000 employees. While in Germany, Douglas also got to witness firsthand a very famous day on the stock market. “I was actually working on the trading floor at the time of what they call Black Monday, which
was a Monday in October of 1987 when the stock market took a really big tumble, so that was a really interesting thing to witness firsthand.” In addition to the memorable experiences, she has already been a part of, Douglas is very excited to be leading the Women’s Enterprise Centre in working on two projects, Catalyst for Growth and Supplier Diversity Canada. Catalyst for Growth is an initiative that is focused on growing the impact of women on B.C.’s economy by increasing the number of women in senior leadership roles, the number of women who are entrepreneurs and the number of women in trades in emerging sectors. Douglas also serves on several boards, and is also a member of University of British Columbia Okanagan’s external advisory committee.

Mongolia should be on your bucket list Stuart Leavenworth
A typical road trip takes you west from Ulaanbaatar, the capital, through Khustain National Park, where Mongolia’s semiwild Takhi horses are protected. More than 300 of these golden horses now roam the park, the result of a successful reintroduction project supported by the Dutch and Mongolian governments. Further west is Khogno Khan Uul Nature Reserve, which is dotted with remains of old Buddhist temples, and one active one. You can camp here, explore the ruins and hike up a lovely creek into hills filled with wildflowers. Many schedule their tours through Mongolia to catch one or more of the Nadaams—local festivals held in July and early August. These festivals, which celebrate Mongolian wrestling, archery and horse racing, are true spectacles. One of the most colorful is
The sun sets over Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur, a lake in Khorgo-Terkhiin Tsagaan Nuur National Park, in central Mongolia. shepherds that soon arrived. They were riding a motorcycle. The next day, we stopped at a ger camp, perched on a plateau and run by an elegant woman named Yandag. Inside her ger, Yandag was making a batch of urum, the Mongolian name for clotted cream, or “white butter.” She soon stepped outside to track her livestock with the aid of some high-quality binoculars. Outside her ger stood solar panels and a satellite dish, for watching television. Some Mongolians fret about the rapid change that is sweeping their country. One of these is Oyuntsetseg Suidaan— Oyuna—an Ulaanbaatar college English teacher who was our tour guide on the trip. Oyuna isn’t nostalgic about the communist days of a quarter-century ago, when Mongolia was still a closed-off Soviet satellite. But she also doesn’t want her country to forget its history and customs. “Little by little in the city, we are losing our traditions, our character,” she lamented one day, as we discussed Mongolia’s full-throttled embrace of capitalism. “We are becoming selfish.” Perhaps that is why
Oyuna chose to bring her 12-year-old daughter, Khuslen, on the trip. All of us were charmed by Khuslen and her unbridled enthusiasm. As for Oyuna, she seem delighted that her little city girl could experience the character of the countryside. In every ger camp we visited, families would invite us inside and offer us something, usually suutei tsai—salty milk tea. As we sipped our drinks and chatted, we took note of the colorful, ornate furniture inside
these tents, including the altars festooned with photos of several generations of family. The land of Genghis Khan is a rare destination for American tourists. According to government figures, last year there were fewer than 15,000 visits by U.S. citizens to Mongolia, compared with 258,000 by Chinese passport holders. For lovers of nature and ancient cultures, Mongolia remains a relatively undiscovered gem. It feels like one of the last frontiers in Asia.

BC REG #3015
KARAKORUM, Mongolia—A few weeks ago, I was bouncing down a bumpy Mongolian highway, seated in a Russian-made UAZ van with my wife and two friends. Our driver was a largerthan-life character named Oyunbaatar, or Ogii. He wore a beret and as he gripped the steering wheel, dodging potholes, he’d occasionally bark out streams of mystifying Mongolian. In Russia, a UAZ van is known as a Bukhanka, or bread loaf, because of its boxy appearance. With impressive suspension, these off-road vehicles can be seen across Mongolia, rugged as the country’s vast grasslands. As we soon learned. Suddenly, without warning, Ogii veered off the highway, hit the gas and accelerated across the scrubby landscape and up a hillside. Within minutes, he had brought us to a 360-degree view of the steppes—with flocks of animals grazing in the distance, next to groups of white tent-like yurts, or gers as they are called here. This is what travel is like in Mongolia: Huge distances. Broad vistas. Big skies. Bright stars. For a week, we slept in gers, hiked mountains, rode horses, swam in lakes, soaked in hot springs. Along the way, we met several Mongolian families, including traditional herders who seasonally move their gers and animals to greener pastures. Covering 603,000 square miles—roughly the size of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Utah combined— Mongolia is vast, but home to a mere 3 million people. Half of them live in Ulaanbaatar, the capital. Most of the rest are spread out on the grasslands, making a traditional living herding and breeding livestock. Yet even in the outback, signs of modernization are everywhere. On our first day on the road, we came across a large flock of camels, including some newborns. The camels made for excellent photos, but we were surprised by the two

at Karakorum, about 230 miles west of Ulaanbaatar. Back in the mid1300s, Karakorum was the capital of Mongolia, made so by the heirs of Genghis Khan. But the city’s glory didn’t last long. When Kublai Khan conquered China, he decided to move the capital to Beijing. The city’s residents have never forgiven him for that. But Karakorum is making a comeback. At the fairgrounds, crowds of people attended the Nadaam, some arriving on horses, some in new Toyota Land Cruisers. Troupes of sequined girls danced before an appreciative audience. Young men sat tall in the saddle, taking selfies of each other. Older women practiced archery. A nearby polo match kicked up a dust storm. Every day seemed to bring some new visual splendor. We passed by a deep gorge that

We camped at a lake so vast and undeveloped that you just wanted to stare at it for hours. But the thing I’ll remember most was a toast on the first night of our trip.

If Meg’s is booked, Lonely Planet has suggestions for other tour companies. Connections: There are no direct flights from North America to Mongolia, but Ulaanbaatar is served by flights from China, Japan, South Korea and other countries. Mongolia makes for a relaxing diversion after a week of touring China. Preparations: U.S. citizens do not need a visa to visit Mongolia, but a visa may be needed for surrounding countries. A sleeping bag and a pad can be helpful for sleeping in gers, which may or may not have mattresses. Tribune News Service KELOWNA

Smoke proves to be power vampire on campus

SIGN ME UP!
Smoky skies caused by fires south of the border are affecting much more than visibility, breathing and our appreciation of the region’s scenery— one of the impacts many people may not think about is on solar power arrays. An example is Okanagan College’s photovoltaic solar array at its Kelowna campus. A review of data from an online monitoring website http://ow.ly/RlzcY (created by SkyFireEnergy, which installed the array for Okanagan College), shows a dramatic reduction in power output between Saturday,
Aug. 22—the last relatively clear day —and the last three days. On Saturday, Aug. 22, the solar array on the top of the canopy over the outdoor heavy equipment yard at the Kelowna campus produced 1,103 kilowatt-hours of energy. On Sunday, when the smoke from fires south of the border moved in and occluded the skies, the array produced just 462 kilowatt-hours, a reduction of more than 58 per cent. When the smoke lightened a bit Monday, the array was able to produce 715 kilowatt-hours. Tuesday’s skies blotted the sun as
well, as the array was able to produce 692 kilowatt-hours, a reduction of 37 per cent from Saturday’s output. The array on top of the canopy includes 793 solar photovoltaic module panels. The outdoor shop covered by the canopy 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 among the 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. Since being fully commissioned in June, the photovoltaic array on the Kelowna campus has saved about 72 megawatt hours of energy. That’s equal to the amount of energy required to run about 604 computers for a year, or the equivalent of about one-quarter of the energy required to operate the college’s 142-bed Skaha Residence annually. 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.

By Keith Morgan Audi has released an artist’s impression of its e-tron quattro concept car. The sporty SUV is designed from the ground up and follows the Audi “Aerosthetics” concept, combining technical measures for reducing aerodynamic drag with creative design solutions. Movable aerodynamic elements at the front, on the sides and at the rear improve the air flow around the car. The aerodynamically optimized underbody is completely closed. With a cd value of 0.25, the car sets a new record in the SUV segment. This contributes considerably to the long range of more than 500 kilometres.

Its typical SUV body and flat, coupe-like cabin give the Audi e-tron quattro concept a very dynamic appearance. Keith Morgan
’’
coupe-like cabin give the Audi e-tron quattro concept a very dynamic appearance. The spacious interior offers room for four people. The large lithium-ion battery is positioned between the axles and below the passenger compartment. This installation position provides for a low center of gravity and a balanced axle load distribution. And that gives the car better driving dynamics and driving safety than other vehicles in the segment. Audi uses its experience with the electrically driven Audi R8 e-tron sports car for the drive system. Three electric motors – one on the front axle and two on the rear axle – drive the Audi e-tron quattro concept. And that makes it an electrified quattro, the e-tron quattro –efficient and dynamic at the same time. keith.morgan@drivewaybc. ca

All-new 2016 Honda Pilot earns 2015 Top Safety Pick+ rating The fully redesigned 2016 Honda Pilot has received a 2015 Top Safety Pick+ rating from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) when equipped with optional front crash prevention. It brings Honda one-step closer to fulfilling the company’s goal to be the first three-row mainstream SUV with the highest available U.S. government (NCAP) and IIHS safety ratings. This IIHS distinction includes a top rating of GOOD in five IIHS crash test modes including a top score of GOOD in the Insurance Institute’s stringent small overlap frontal crash test. The 2015 Top Safety Pick+ designation is awarded to vehicles that also have an available front crash pre-
vention system that earns an advanced or superior rating from the Institute. The 2016 Pilot offers an available frontal crash prevention system that earns a top rating of superior. Available on Pilot is Honda Sensing that can help improve drivers’ situational awareness with its various systems, which include the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS™) with Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Road Departure Mitigation (RDM).

When different cultures collide the results in works of art can be intriguing. Consider the artist in the current exhibition in the Mardell G. Reynolds Gallery at the Kelowna Art Gallery: Wally Dion. Dion is originally from Saskatoon, where he received his BFA in 2004.
On View LIZ WYLIE Then he attended the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence,
Rhode Island, finishing in 2013, and moved to Binghampton, New York. Working in the context of a mashup of cultures, Dion produces sophisticated work that addresses the issues of

living as a First Nations person in the current moment. He explores and mines his own Indigenous heritage and knowledge, while addressing artsmart MFA ideas on neoformalism, turning the ideas and forms of high modernist abstraction on their heads. It’s pretty complicated stuff, and very beautiful work. There are eight pieces in the current show, each one a hybrid between painting and sculpture. In his four wallmounted works in paint Dion seems to be riffing off work by New York School greats such as Frank Stella, but with a bricoleur construction method and aesthetic. To make these pieces he builds threedimensional wooden structures that act as linear tracks for the

Dion combines the smaller units into larger structures, maintaining a strictly geometric vocabulary. In one case Dion sets his components up on a horizontal base formed by a plinth, and then has the layers surge up into space, so that the piece reads a bit like an architectural model.
In three wall works he utilizes the medium of coloured paper, cut and layered precisely to form delicate threedimensional counterreliefs.

artist to work with. This year the Gallery worked with Saskatoonbased curator Felicia Gay. Gay points out about artist Wally Dion in her text in the exhibition’s web-based publication: “Dion’s maps mark a presence to demonstrate the Aboriginal people as present tense, a visual outcry against the silence. Mapping Me In …therefore becomes a strategy, a post-colonial signifier of presence, power and place.” Certainly Dion does seem to be both negotiating and navigating his way through a strange land, perhaps making maps as he goes, to which the title of the exhibition, Mapping Me In…makes reference. And yet, after all this, we have the language of art, which some theorists are convinced can be universal, despite the culturally specific meanings of various colours and symbols. The gallery installation functions a bit like a garden—visitors are welcome to roam around and enjoy the works on their own terms. Wally Dion: Mapping Me In... will remain on view at the Kelowna Art Gallery until Sept. 20. Liz Wylie is the Kelowna Art Gallery art curator.

PENNER, HENRY ARNOLD On August 22, just three days prior to his 73rd birthday, Henry Arnold Penner slipped away peacefully to be with the Lord. He is survived by his loving wife Elsie of 50 years, daughter Cynthia and husband Jay Brooks, son Michael and wife Carrie Elrick, and his much loved granddaughters, Vivian and Lily Elrick Penner. Also mourning his loss are his siblings Catherine (Rita) Whiteley, Anita and husband Lyle Wahl, Alice and husband Michael Gro, Elaine and husband Edward Klassen, Louis and wife Ruth Ann Penner, Kim and husband Abe Dueck, and Dennis and wife Wendy Lee Penner, as well as many nieces and nephews. He will also be sorely missed by his brothers and sisters in law: Margaret and Patrick Burns, Peter and Sue Kehler, Katie Kehler, Helen and Bill Klassen, Neil and Eileen Kehler, and Marie and Henry Dueck and more nieces and nephews. A host of friends, from early school days to far away Asian work assignments, also mourn a friend who was a wonderful blend of warmth, fun, “smarts” and strength of character. He is predeceased by his parents Cornelius and Luise Wiens Penner. Born in Regina, SK, Henry spent his formative years on a three acre farm in Yarrow, BC. There he developed his interest in hunting, fishing, and sports of all kinds. In the summers he worked for his father at Clearbrook Frozen Foods. After graduating from high school, he continued in a similar vein and attended Oregon State University; graduating in 1964 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Food Science. During the summers of his university years, he continued to work at Clearbrook Frozen Foods with the fortunate, life-changing bonus of meeting his future bride in the company’s quality control lab. They were married on December 27th 1964 following his graduation. After four years of working for Salada Foods (the new owners of his father’s business), Henry and his little family moved to Kelowna to work with Sun-Rype Food Products, where he took great pride in developing and manufacturing renowned fruit and juice products. His time with Sun-Rype also included extensive traveling to investigate and institute innovations to create new levels of product excellence. Following an exploratory trip to China to assess the feasibility of setting up a plant there, Henry retired after twenty-eight rewarding years. Building on the rich skills and experiences he had gained in the Okanagan, Henry took his expertise abroad to about thirty countries as a food manufacturing and business management consultant. In some of the most desperate places in the world, his role was to provide help to small manufacturers to successfully create and sell products that would, in turn, improve their own lives. Some of his favourite locales were the Philippines, Indonesia, and Kyrgyzstan. His stories of these trips invariably involved graphic details of the obscure foods that were served to him; nothing was too daunting for him to try. Elsie was able to accompany him on some of these trips and as a result they developed many dear friends who remain part of their lives. During these years of foreign consulting, Henry continued to be involved back home, providing guidance to the Community Futures Development Corporation of Central Okanagan. Although Henry will be remembered through his leadership positions at work and in the churches he attended, he will be best remembered for his personal qualities: his quiet expression of faith and values, his integrity and strength, his sense of humour and fun. He loved his wife and family deeply, he treasured his life-long friends and enjoying a good meal came a close third. The celebration of his life will be held at Trinity Baptist Church, 1905 Springfield Road, Kelowna, BC at 11:00 am on Saturday, August 29th with Pastor Tim Schroeder officiating. Should you so desire, donations may be made to BC Heart and Stroke Foundation (www.heartandstroke.ca). Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com.

REYNOLDS, HARRY MARTIN “AKA SEAN”
Born August 19, 1946 to James William Reynolds and Mary Margaret Turner. Sadly, he couldn’t give a knockout punch to his metastic prostate cancer, diagnosed in July, 2013 and passed away on his 69th birthday. He gave it a really good fight, continuing to work til November. 2014. Survived by his wife Connie - together for 41 years, married for 38; son Eric (Corry) and their daughter, Rylie - (his sweet light). Also survived by his sister, Berlene (Laura and Vernon), sister-in-law, Susan (Alycia) and her daughter Sophie, Steven (Shannon) and their children Ethan and Logan; brother, Grant, several cousins and Auntie Ruth, the last of the aunts. Harry was a complex, proud and private man who will be greatly missed by family, friends and former co-workers. Predeceased on February 26th, 2015 by his daughter Lianna, who was waiting for him to join her. He really enjoyed Belize, his ponds that he built, his 1967 Camaro convertible (2nd owner since 1969), Scotch, Rusty Nails and anything sweet. Proud member of the poker group and recipient of the poker trophy twice in a row - he really wanted to win it again! Thank you immensely to his entire cancer support team who helped make this journey as smooth and tolerable as possible. Cremation has taken place. No service, but an informal “come and go” on August 29th at the family home, 1400 Elm Street anytime after 12pm, for stories, drinks and “appies”. Arrangements in care of Everden Rust Funeral Services, (250) 860-6440 Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting everdenrust.com
