As Central Okanagan School District superintendent Hugh Gloster walked down the halls of Kelowna Secondary School this week, he stopped to peruse some of the old school pictures and reminisce about his days as a teacher at KSS. You couldn’t blame him for the trip down memory lane. Come this fall, Gloster will retire from a 36year career in Central Okanagan schools. He was a teacher for a decade, teaching everything from Kindergarten to Grade 12, then a principal and vice-principal, and finally stepping into school board administration, serving as superintendent for the past six years To say Gloster has been a fixture on the Central Okanagan education scene is an understatement. He has left his mark on the district by focusing on kids and people first. “I was looking at those pictures reminiscing about the grad classes and the different students I knew particularly well and I had a great sense of pride,” said Gloster this week as he prepared to start his final school year as a fulltime educator and school administrator. “It was a privilege working with young people and seeing if you could help them. One of the things I always felt was you could change a kids’ life by just spending some time with them.” Among the pictures that Gloster stopped to look at was a great student and athlete from years gone by. His name was Al Lalonde, a student

Hugh Gloster outside the Central Okanagan School District administrative office in Kelowna. who moved onto a career in education after graduating high school, following in Gloster’s footsteps as a teacher first and now a principal. Lalonde said it was Gloster who made him want to be a teacher. “He’s one of those people that motivated me to get into teaching,” said Lalonde, now in his fourth year as Rutland Senior Secondary’s principal. “As superintendent he’s been a great leader. He’s a great people person. He really cares about people and he has really motivated a lot of us to care about children. “It’s always been students-first and peoplefirst for Hugh and I think that’s really impactful as a leader.” Originally from the UK, Gloster moved with his family to Canada as a young boy, living in Prince Rupert and Vancouver

Island. After high school he attended UBC and the University of Victoria before completing his masters through Gonzaga University in Washington State. As a teacher, his specialty was high school social studies, but he could do it all, including what he called one of his most challenging assignments when he switched from high school to kindergarten. When he entered work as an administrator at the Central Okanagan School District 12 years ago, he set his sights on increasing the graduation rate. “When I started we were in the mid-70 per cent of kids graduating,” said Gloster. “We looked at that and said, ‘This is a pretty affluent area and that’s not acceptable.’ “Our graduation rates have improved

an organization is we have really been committed to continuous improvement,” he said. “We never once sat back on our laurels and thought we had it all figured out. We were always looking to improve. Maybe we weren’t meeting the needs of every kid and until you can completely say that there is always work to be done. “I’m very proud of the effort our teachers make and the support they get from the principals and vice-principals, everyone in the schools, they all come together to say, ‘How can we do the best job.’” Kevin Kaardal was hired in June to replace Gloster. He’s working in the district now and will take over full-time from Gloster Jan. 1.

dramatically and that has been a total team effort. We’re now into 91 or 92 per cent of kids graduating. “That just means there is still eight per cent of the kids that this still isn’t working for them. “We want an engaging program where kids are excited to come to school everyday so we’re going to keep working at it.” While Gloster will retire as superintendent at the end of December, he will keep his foot in education with some contract work that will also allow for some more personal time. Over the years, his philosophy has been handed down to other administrators and to teachers and he plans to keep working for the improvement of schoolaged children. “I think one of the things I have been most proud of as

When students walk into Rutland Middle School on Tuesday to start a new school year, it will mark a significant change in the Central Okanagan School District. For the first time, a Kelowna middle school will host children in Grades 6 to 8 as Rutland becomes the first area of the Central Okanagan to move to a new grade configuration that will eventually be the norm in the school district. The aging school, a top priority for replacement in the school district, has also received a face-lift, with renovations to four of its classrooms, as it—along with Springvalley Middle School—gets set to chart new waters for the district, housing some 550 students this year. “We’re excited, this is an opportunity to change and re-invent the middle school structure in our district,” said new RMS principal Jim Laird, who had been viceprincipal at RMS for the past three years. “We love this school and the community loves it. We have a lot of parents who went here. This new grouping of Grade 6 to 8 is more common around the province. We will be able to put in structures that fit the true middle school ages.” Nearby at Rutland Senior, Grade 9 students who normally would have been in their final year at RMS, were at the high school this week, getting an orientation on their new school, which will now be home to 1,500 students. The move will allow Grade 9s to enter high school and get a year under their belt before beginning the graduation program, with provincial exams starting in Grade 10. “We’re really excited, we think this is a good move for our school,” said RSS principal Al Lalonde. “It’s a big change for us this year because almost half of our students (Grades 9 and 10) will be new this year. “Allowing Grade 9s to have a year to get used to high school before getting into the grad program will be a good thing.” The school board mandated the move to the new grade configuration of kindergarten to Grade 5 for elementary, Grade 6 to 8 for middle and Grade 9 through 12 for high schools in 2012. However, no other area of the Central Okanagan is yet able to make the switch and the district says it will likely be the better part of a decade before all schools are changed over. “We’re quite looking forward to the change (in grade configuration) in Rutland,” said superintendent Hugh Gloster. “It will change the complexion of things in some of the schools and will bolster the numbers in RSS and allow them to keep offering some of the great programs they have become known for.”

SHIFT FROM A3 Across the Central Okanagan School District some 22,000 students will enter classrooms this school session. The school district is forecasting a slight increase in students across the board in the Central Okanagan, one of just a handful of districts in the province that has increasing enrolment. However, Gloster says

while growth in numbers is better than declining enrolment, it is putting a strain on current facilities. “We’re in an enviable position where we have pockets of real growth but where we are having trouble is accommodating everyone in some areas,” said Gloster, “It’s a lot easier to face the pressure points and grow than to have to close schools.” In the Mission, Chute

Lake Elementary will be full this year as will Okanagan-Mission Secondary, which is maxed out with nine portables. Kelowna Secondary is also at capacity with some 1,800 students. In West Kelowna, schools are also close to capacity, even with the newly constructed Mar Jok Elementary only going into its second year. And in Lake Country,

area where we have already got the property identified,” said Gloster. “If we had a new middle school in the Mission that opened as Grade 6 to 8, that would pull some of the pressure off the elementary schools and create some space and also move OKM to the new Grade 9 to 12 configuration.” In the distant future, Gloster said there will also be a need for another high school in the core of the district, likely somewhere likely in Glenmore. But he cautioned that any new school is still years away and would first need to be approved by the provincial government.

close to 50 students will be attending elementary school outside of its catchment area with Davidson Road Elementary now overcapacity. While a replacement school for RMS remains on the district’s priority list, this year’s renovations have breathed new life into the building. Gloster said the district is now looking at different ways of replacing RMS such as the potential for converting an existing building into a new middle school. That would allow the district to go after a new middle school in the Mission near the Ponds neighbourhood. “The Ponds is an

With communicable diseases such as whooping cough, mumps and measles making a comeback, BC Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall is reminding parents to make sure their children’s vaccines are up to date as they return to school. And Kendall has added his voice to that of the Canadian Medical Association, calling for mandatory declaration of vaccination when children enrol at school, as is done in Ontario and New Brunswick. The CMA voted at its annual meeting in late August for other provinces to follow suit, requiring immunization records but allowing exemptions for medical or religious reasons. Doctors also called for development of a national database to pull together records scattered between doctors’ offices and schools.

Paying attention to school zones Roughly 21,000 students in the Central Okanagan are gearing up to go back to school next week. It means classes that have sat empty will suddenly be overflowing with activity. It also means all those students will be on area roads, traveling back and forth to their various schools by foot, bike, car or bus. “We all have to be extra vigilant during this time,” said Dave Gibson, RCMP regional traffic safety officer. “We are used to going through school

zones without reducing our speed to 30 km/h during the summer months.” School zone signs go back into effect Sept. 8 and speed limits within are enforced fro m 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. on days that schools are in session. Gibson also wants to remind the public about the re-appearance of school buses on our roadways. Traffic must stop in both directions when a school bus is stopped and displaying red flashing lights with an extended stop sign.

LAKESHORE ROAD

Road construction to cause delays near McClymont school Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Just in time for students returning to school, a portion of the work on Lakeshore Road—the section outside Anne McClymont Elementary— is wrapping up. According to Kelowna city hall, as of next Tuesday—the day students across the Central Okanagan start to return to school following their summer break— Lakeshore between Dehart Road and Knowles Road will be clear of construction activity and the school zone will be in effect. Utility replacement, curb and gutters,

sidewalks, pathway and paving in that section of Lakeshore has been completed with the exception of the lane between the telephone poles and the east curb. As streetscaping work including the planting of trees and other vegetation, and the installation of irrigation, brickwork and street lights continues, drivers are warned that could lead to intermittent, non-peak time, traffic interruptions. A final layer of asphalt and finishing work is scheduled for next spring. Meanwhile, work on the road will continue between Knowles and McClure, where motorists

• have a caregiver who can communicate with study doctors and will join you during every visit

to experience delays due to the construction. Visit bctransit.com/ regions/kel or call the hotline at 250-860-8121 for schedules and plan travel accordingly. The $3.3-million contract for the road improvements to the section of Lakeshore Road between Dehart and McClure roads was awarded to Copcan Civil Ltd. The work will include new sidewalks, curbs and gutters, a multi-use pathway, on-road bike lanes and pedestrian and roadway lighting improvements. Forty new deciduous trees will be planted in the boulevards.

‘Unvaccinated children are at risk…’ STORY FROM A3 “By the time a child reaches five or six years old, he or she should have received booster shots that protect against measles, polio, chicken pox, whooping cough and more, and kids in Grade 6 and 9 should receive follow-up vaccinations,” Kendall said. “This is all part of B.C.’s free, routine immunization program.” Kendall emphasized that vaccinations themselves would not be mandatory, but the information would give schools the ability to protect students when an outbreak happens. That means excluding

unvaccinated children from school during an outbreak, and offering parents the chance to fill gaps in their protection. “Unvaccinated children are at risk themselves, but they also pose a risk to others because they create a gateway into the community,” Kendall told CKNW radio this week. “So we need the concept of herd immunity, where we get 95 per cent of the population of a cohort of children vaccinated, so it’s much harder for disease to spread in the community.” Vaccine records also give public health authorities a chance to counter misinformation that has proliferated in recent years, he said.

“If we know who the parents of those children are, we can talk with them and tell them the facts and what is real and what is not real, and hopefully convince a good proportion of them that what they’re actually fearing is either unreal or not scientifically valid, or is in fact a misplaced fear,” Kendall said. “And we would hope that we would get some of those parents at least to get their children vaccinated.” Parents in B.C. can now sign up for free text message reminders at immunizebc.ca/reminders, and the website also offers a smartphone app to manage immunization records.

Thomson says inspections have found 26 mussel-infected boats in B.C. Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Forests, Lands And Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson says the province’s new invasive mussel defence teams have made great strides over the last three months in keeping quagga and zebra mussel out of B.C. Thomson told the media in Kelowna Thursday that since May, the teams have inspected over 3,200 boats in 19 communities, from the Lower Mainland to Valemount, including Kamloops, Osoyoos, Midway, Castlegar, Cranbrook and Golden. He said thanks to the enhanced invasive mussel defence program announced by the B.C. government earlier this year, 26 watercraft requiring decontamination were identified and dealt with, either by provincial inspection crews or through decontamination

orders provided to the vessel owners. Four boats required a 30-day quarantine period, in addition to decontamination, to ensure B.C waters remain free from the destructive mussels. These decontamination and quarantine orders issued under the Provincial Controlled Alien Species Regulation were the first issued in B.C. “Invasive mussels pose a threat to more than just ecosystems,” said Thomson. “(They also pose a threat to) drinking water facilities, hydro stations, agricultural irrigation and more.” But he warned while the province considers the work of the invasive mussel defence teams “success stories” this summer, the public still needs to do its part to keep quagga and zebra mussels out of B.C. waters. “I encourage everyone to practice ‘Clean, Drain, Dry’ activities (the

Somebody’s pockets lined by ICBC estimates To the editor: A deer hit the hood of our vehicle, the deer got up and ran away. In the morning we drove 30 kilometres to ICBC to find out the damage. The gentleman does the estimate of the vehicle—$5,000 cost to fix.

LETTER OF THE WEEK We go to another body shop recommended by IC BC. Sorry can’t give you an estimate until tomorrow. No problem I said we’ll be back. We go to the third ICBC body shop. Sorry can’t do an estimate until tomorrow. No problem, see you tomorrow. The next morning number three ICBC calls and said I’m sorry you already had an estimate done we can’t look at your vehicle. Twenty minutes later a call from number two ICBC: Sorry you already had an

Six hours later the vehicle is ready—a friend did us a favour. If ICBC were to charge even $200 an hour labour that would cost $1,200. For six hours work then there’s $400 on parts. That would total out to $1,600. This is almost a year and a half later and the vehicle runs just fine. Here’s my question: The body shop said it was a $5,000 repair job. Does the body shop put the extra $3,400 in pocket? Or does he take the balance and divide it with someone at ICBC?

Crown corp. woefully unprepared Being stranded on the SkyTrain and then taking an alarming sprint Kathartic down a tree-lined city street as branches crashed to the ground and leaves pelted my little family was an KATHY exhilarating start to my Vancouver MICHAELS weekend. But excitement quickly turned to aggravation when I was stranded in my parent’s electricity-free home for two days. Conversations that are usually deftly dodged with delightful television interruptions were explored. The horrific sounds of chewing were crisp and clear without the whir of appliances drowning them out. The only remnant of everyday civility was a battery powered clock tick-tocking away, marking the seemingly endless stream of time it took for power to be restored. It was a lot to endure. It started to feel a bit like the preamble to the Michaels Family Sequel of Lord of the Flies. Therapy may be required to wash it all from my mind. Lots of expensive therapy. While I’m calculating the personal costs of this storm, I’d like to point out that watching, and eventually smelling, a freezer full of food go bad is as dispiriting as it is costly. It would have been one thing if area residents were told to hunker down for a multi-day blackout. But they weren’t. BC Hydro

had a defunct website and a painfully pointless Twitter stream offering useless information until batteries wore out. So it was no surprise to see Vancouverites taking to social media channels to demand reimbursement— it would be something to offset what was clearly a fumble on behalf of the provincial Crown corporation. Days without power is one thing. Days of being kept in the dark because of a failure of information is another. BC Hydro’s website crash was disrespectful, frustrating and, above all else, unnecessary. Especially given that this little blip in weather stability happened in an area that is expecting to literally be rocked by “the big one” any time now. They should have a nearly infallible emergency response system. But the Crown corporation proved last weekend that if and when a big earthquake happens, they’re not ready to serve their customers, despite having been given plenty of notice to get their act together. A December 2012 report titled Corporate Disaster Preparedness Planning from BC Hydro’s internal audit branch, laid it all out. 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 Larkan, Laura Millsip, Kelly Ulmer

“BC Hydro is not adequately prepared to react, respond, and recover from a widespread catastrophic event such as an earthquake, as there is not a mature or integrated disaster preparedness program,” news organization, the Tyee, pulled from the report in 2013. “An effective governance structure to oversee, co-ordinate and report on disaster preparedness activities is not in place.” On a “maturity level,” ranging from the lowest 1 to highest 5, Hydro’s disaster readiness was pegged at between 1 and 2. The auditors said Hydro should try to reach level 3, which is “an appropriate industry benchmark.” If not, the widespread loss of electricity could be disastrous, was the summary of the report. All of this was said three years ago, and Hydro then claimed it would be taking immediate action. Clearly, their understanding of “immediate” is lacking. Maybe the best thing to come out of this is simply that realization that they won’t be there for British Columbians should the worst happen. It really is time for everyone to ramp up their own emergency preparedness. And, while you’re at it, don’t forget to get a device that will make noises to fill in all the painful silences.

Authentic Thai Restaurant

Letters SUMMER PRICE HIKE

Are Kelowna’s high gas prices a special treat for tourist season To the editor: On Monday, Aug. 24, gas was $1.24.9 in White Rock. The price was $1.13.9 in Chilliwack and $1.32.9 in Kelowna. White Rock has a transit tax that is not applied in Chilliwack or Kelowna. We hear that in the Toronto area, prices are

below $1. It should be obvious to all of us, that the oil companies can set the price at whatever they want, and will continue to do so as we keep using at the rate we do. This usage is somewhat skewed by the influx of tourists, but it still seems we are high per capita users.

Until we somehow reduce our per capita usage, we will be gouged at the pumps. Prices here dropped to $1.25.9 as of Thursday, Aug. 27 [Sept. 3: $122.9]. Could this be because many vacationers have left due to the smoke? L.G. Maddaford, Kelowna

Ripped off at the pumps and in the air To the editor: I just read two very good letters from Bruce Stevenson and Ian MacLean (Aug. 28 Kelowna Capital News). How do the oil companies get away with fixing the price of gasoline and the great carbon tax ripoff?

Can you imagine going into a car dealership in Kelowna and all the autos at every dealership were the same price exactly to the cent. I would like to see some investigative journalism from the newspapers and TV to find out why.

And here’s another area of Canadians being gouged—airfares and holidays. It’s not unusual to see $400 worth of tax on a $700 holiday. On top of all this our currency is practically worthless. Dave Thornton, Kelowna

Why are taxpayers subsidizing micro suites? To the editor: On Aug. 10, Kelowna city council approved public subsidies for two rental apartment projects on Dickson Avenue and Ethel Street. The subsidies included incentives to build 114 new rental units, 10-year tax exemptions and Developer Cost Charge fee exemptions needed for roads, parks, sewers and water services. The cost to taxpayers to subsidize the projects is valued at $642,684. Surprisingly, the subsidy value increased 45 per cent after public hearings were held on the initial rezoning applications in February and March of 2015. The initial amount was $442,840 but five months later the subsidy increased a whopping $200,000. Why did city staff withhold the full value of these subsidies from council at the public hearing? These were controversial projects proposing new forms of housing called micro suites, which have floor areas less than 360 sq ft. I would like to think council would not have approved the rezoning had they known the full cost to taxpayers. I would also like to think taxpayers would have spoken out against the projects at the public hearing had

the subsidy values been made public. Without being too critical of the new councilors, these two projects came forward during their first three months in office. However, experienced councillors should have known better. Council minutes show no one questioned the need or value of the subsidies and no one suggested alternative options to create rental housing that council has at its disposal. Equally surprising, staff reports to council on these two projects failed to include statements or cost benefit analysis from the finance department stating that the city’s 20Year Servicing Plan and Financial Strategy would not be impacted by these projects and their subsidies. Council’s decisions to subsidize private sector micro suite projects without knowing the true public costs siphons money away from public projects and delays their completion and waterfront parks, like Cedar Avenue Park, will never get built. Richard Drinnan, Kelowna

FEDERAL CAMPAIGN

Ducking debates won’t do To the editor: Re: With more time, will more voters care? (B.C. Views, Aug. 19). NDP leader Thomas Mulcair will not attend a debate Oct. 8, because Stephan Harper will not be there. What are you, children in a daycare centre? You are asking me for a job. If I went in for a job interview and told the interviewer that I would only participate under certain circumstances, would I get hired? No. We need to hear every word you can say

to make an informed decision. We need to hear the truth of your life. I absolutely hate the negative propaganda that I am hearing in the media. I have run in an election and participated in every aspect. I entered every debate, knocked on doors and had public appearances. I lost but I have the knowledge that I tried my hardest. Andrew Ludington, Esquimalt

know better: Have the fine be $1,000 per solid line crossed. This may deter and prevent many accidents and the loss of their family or friends. Merge lanes, racing to beat semis, having nowhere else to go—you lose—DOH (Dead on Highway). Only a fool, a no-mind, would gamble with the lives of their family or others. Frank Desmet, Kelowna

Buck a butt great idea To the editor: In response to Andy Chouinard’s letter (Sept. 2 Kelowna Capital News) about $1 a butt deposit on packs of cigarettes. Ditto ditto ditto! Fantastic idea. It’s sad there are still so many people that seem to think it’s OK to simply throw their butts everywhere. Tony Pallas, Kelowna

CENTRAL GREEN PROJECT

PRE-OWNED CLEARANCE

Highrise proposals shelved for now Alistair Waters

2015 vw tiguan

Another social housing project, an 86-unit building to be run by the Ki-low-na Friendship Society, is currently under construction at the northwest corner. It has an expected opening of mid-2016. Earlier this week, Stober announced it is working with the Mission S Group on the large portion of the site it bought for $6 million in 2014. b In a news release, Friesen said his company was excited to be part t of what he called “the inspired green living” that the overall Central p Green plan calls for. The new five-acre Rowcliffe Park that is slated for the back of the c site will be built by the city along Rowcliffe Avenue starting in 2017. 3 Friesen said there was no appetite from either the city nor area t residents for highrises overlooking the park. d Central Green is slated to be Kelowna’s first community certified in p Leadership Energy and Environmental Design (LEED). s This LEED-certified neighbourhood will combine green building practices with smart growth principles such as development density, l proximity to transit, land-use, and multi-modal transportation. a Located close to downtown, as well as near other key city sites such y as Kelowna General Hospital, Central Green has long been touted for d its development potential. e Friesen said unlike when a company builds a single building, for S this project his firm will have direct input on aspects of the overall G development, something he said is very exciting for them. While the Mission Group has built a lot of housing developments in l the city, it does not build highrises. t On the other hand, Al Stober Construction does, and is the firm t perhaps best known for building the Landmark campus of highrises o along Harvey Avenue across from the Parkinson Recreation Centre. i e o t t a

The lowdown on Kelowna’s showpiece Central Green development is that it won’t be getting highrises—at least not right away. Plans to build three residential towers on the site as part of its redevelopment have been shelved in favour of low-level condominiums buildings. New plans for the site call for three, four-storey, wood-frame condominium buildings first for the site, farther back from Harvey Avenue, adjacent to a planned new large park slated on the property. The original concept for Central Green called for three highrises, ranging from between 12- to 18-storeys along the Harvey Avenue side of the site. The towers, if built, would contain apartment units. The reworked plan for the portion of Central Green bought by Kelowna developer Al Stober Construction—now working in partnership with another large local developer, Mission Group Homes—is expected to be presented to the public and city council before the end of September. Jonathan Friesen, chief executive officer of the Mission Group, said Thursday his company will build the low-level, condominium buildings while Stober will deal with the highrise towers, possibly at a later date. Central Green, the 13-acre former home of the Kelowna Secondary School, is located at Richter Street and Harvey Avenue and is currently under development on parcels owned by several different companies. Last week, the first building on the site opened at the southwest corner, the new 36-unit KARIS Support Society facility for women dealing with mental health and addiction issues.

Knee Arthritis and Knee Injuries Successfully Treated by Shockwave Therapy

hether you are an athlete, in your golden years of retirement, or the typical person on your feet all day at work, you know there’s nothing more debilitating than a knee injury. Knee injuries have many faces and causes and these three groups of people are susceptible to the same injuries but from different causes. Tendon injuries are the most common: Iliotibial band syndrome (pain on the outside of the knee); Patellar tendonitis (pain below the knee); and hamstring injuries (leading to pain in the back of the knee).

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

Canadian Blood Services is encouraging blood donors to support their local emergency personnel. The Sirens for Life campaign is on until Oct. 31. Every donor will mark themselves on a board as donating in support of police, fire, ambulance or search and rescue. “We’re just doing a fun little tally in our clinic each and every week where you can say where your donation is going to,” explained Canadian Blood Services territory manager Gayle Voyer. “It’s just a fun, friendly little competition where the community can say thanks. We also track our partners, which include many of the emergency personnel in our community, so we’ll track their donations throughout this program as well.” The Kelowna Blood Donor Clinic is located at 103-1865 Dilworth Dr.

Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran and Canadian Blood Services territory manager Gayle Voyer cut the cake at Thursday’s Sirens for Life campaign launch.

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

ICBC applauded for rooting out insurance scammers Liar. Cheater. Scammer. The very words leave an unpleasant aftertaste. A distaste for those who lie, cheat and scam is a common human experience. Is it because each of us has been lied to, cheated, or scammed, and have felt the sharp pangs of betrayal? Each of us feels it to the extent fraudsters and scammers cheat ICBC. Recent news has ICBC pointing at fraudulent claims as a reason for their request to increase

our auto insurance rates 6.7 per cent ICBC refers to a newly uncovered “jump-in” scheme where relatives of someone who has actually been in a crash pretend that they were in the crash as well, pretend to be injured, and submit claims for those pretend injuries. We throw our full support behind the Special Investigations Unit of ICBC’s efforts to uncover these sorts of fraudulent schemes and bringing the scammers to

justice. An exposed liar or cheater who is brought to justice leaves an aftertaste sweeter than honey. I am enjoying that sweet aftertaste after reading two recent court decisions related to one ICBC claim. The first decision, rendered in March 2015, is the judgment, following a 33-day trial. This decision tells a riveting story of fabrication, exaggeration and attempted witness tampering that ends with a judgment in

favour of the plaintiff of $36,042.30. The second decision, rendered Aug. 26, 2015, is the same judge’s decision about the costs of that trial. Generally speaking, costs is compensation paid by the unsuccessful party to the successful party for expense incurred in the litigation process. The normal costs award is in favour of the plaintiff. In this very unique case, the plaintiff is recovering none of her costs and instead is having to pay costs to the defence. The plaintiff’s settlement offer leading up to the trial was $2,000,000. The defence had offered to pay her $250,000. How wonderful that her greed led her to reject the defence offer and

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT proceed to trial where her deception was exposed. I have written several times about the importance of credibility in a personal injury claim. Great care needs to be taken not only to be scrupulously honest and forthright, but also to avoid completely innocent inconsistencies. One of the greatest of injustices, in my view, is where innocent inconsistencies are used to plant seeds of doubt that can result in an honest and forthright injury victim being unfairly dealt with. The plaintiff in this case had a laundry list of

inconsistencies, which the trial judge reviewed item by item, and they were far from innocent. The judge introduces the laundry list with the following: “The evidence of the plaintiff with regards to that incident was only the beginning of her attempts to fabricate evidence so as to exaggerate what had occurred, her injuries and their effect on her life since 2008. This section of my reasons for judgment dealing with the lack of credibility of the plaintiff could consume many, many more pages than I will record, but I will highlight certain aspects of the evidence in the following discussion.” Just one of the inconsistencies referred to

by the judge was the stark difference between how the plaintiff moved at the trial and her movements that had been recorded in video surveillance. At trial, she “… exhibited considerable physical discomfort, rarely turning her head to either side.” Whereas there was nothing of the sort apparent in 16 days of video surveillance. What are the financial consequences to the plaintiff? I expect that she will be facing costs consequences well in excess of $100,000 after the dust settles.

Great time for garden changes

What a relief to have clear skies, a good rainfall and cooler temperatures. September air feels gentle and refreshingly moist. Colours in my garden are now vibrant. My favourite season has begun. My energy and enthusiasm have returned ready to change my garden to prepare for next summer’s drought. After observing your plants, gardens, and water bills this summer, many of you may also want to make changes. Fall is an excellent time to do this when your memory is fresh. Fall planting gives plants a head start to grow a better root system (than spring planting) before next summer’s drought. Suggestions for water-wise gardening information: 1) For tips for successful fall planting, making some changes, and to see what’s in bloom, I invite you to join me next Wednesday, Sept. 9, 6:30 p.m. I’ll give a free class

Gardening With Nature GWEN STEELE in the unH2O Xeriscape Demonstration Garden, 4075 Gordon Dr. in front of the H2O Aquatic Centre. Be sure to get a garden brochure with the plant list for all five theme gardens. 2) This fall there are two sessions of my two night Introduction to Xeriscape class: Wednesday, Sept. 16 and 23, or Thursday, Oct. 1and 8. See details and registration information at okanaganxeriscape. org. It’s a great way to find out how to plan and make changes to an existing garden or to create a new water-wise landscape. People new to the valley or to gardening find it especially useful to find appropriate plants and methods to garden

successfully in the Okanagan. Using power point, I show an extensive collection of landscape examples and plants to illustrate the principles of planning and design, soil preparation, practical turf areas, efficient irrigation, appropriate plant selection, mulching, and timely maintenance. Additionally there’s a comprehensive handout to take home. I’ve been promoting the xeriscape principles for more than 20 years as I feel they are the easiest, most cost effective guide to creating a successful garden. By request, I’ve adapted this class into a one day workshop and presented it in Merritt, Williams Lake, and Canoe Creek. This spring I went to Prince George and this fall will go to Kamloops and Nanaimo. The drought conditions in much of B.C have increased interest in

water-wise gardening practices. 3) For an excellent xeriscape reference, I recommend Creating the Prairie Xeriscape, by Sara Williams, available from the Okanagan Xeriscape Association for $35. I’ve been studying xeriscape literature since 1992. This is the best book I’ve ever found and perfect for the Okanagan. William’s convincingly illustrates that xeriscaping a space does not require the use of gravel, rocks and landscape fabric. Photos and landscape plans show how colourful and varied a xeriscape can be. She makes it easy to get started and learn by doing. Williams promotes xeriscaping for many applications such as condominiums, urban yards, farms, acreages, and public spaces such as parks, parking lots, schools and libraries.

I turned my back on her to write in her chart and mumbled one word—“attitude.” When I turned around, her look was one of disbelief and slight annoyance at what she thought was a very glib answer to a legitimate 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 get better.” That is not to say that you should stop all care and treatments for a malady and live in a land of fairies and rainbows. That makes

Ask Dr. Thiel MARKUS THIEL about as much sense as underwater fire prevention. But, if you enter your treatment with a firm belief that 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.” 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 and they would defy all I 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 look at a disease or a condition in your life and create a new outcome based on your beliefs instead of external expectations, limited thinking and scarcity. My mom once said to me: “You can be optimistic and positive about anything and everything, or not. It is entirely your choice. No one will tell you what to believe. The two, have entirely different outcomes and they take the same amount of work in both cases.” Markus Thiel is a Kelowna chiropractor. askdrthiel@shaw.ca

Kelowna residents uneasy about flourishing rats Rats. The scourge of just about every major urban hub have made the Okanagan home. “One evening while in my office at home… I looked out the window and there, on a six-foothigh wooden fence, a rat had stopped in its tracks, five feet in front of my window, and was being stared down by my cat,” Linda Lou, wrote in from her home in the Capri Mall area. “Both were motionless for 20 seconds and then I moved my hand the rat did an about face and bolted down the direction he came from.” With that encounter seared into her mind, Lou went looking for rat traps. The mouse equivalent, she had learned, is ineffective. Many of the stores she went to had sold all their rat traps, as there seems to have been a summer run on them, but eventually she found some. That night she caught “one large rat” in front of her office window. “Then I realized that the rats were using the large grape plants for cover and also eating the grapes, so I moved the traps on the fence under the grape plants,” she said. In the last week, she’s caught one rat a night, sparking new concern for the health and well-being of the city.

Rats have made their way into Kelowna’s residential neighbourhoods, something city hall says comes as no surprise given a swelling of the local rat population over the last three to five years. News that rats have made their way into residential neighbourhoods is of no surprise to City of Kelowna staff, who have been fielding a lot of ratrelated calls this summer. “It’s a fairly recent occurrence,” said Blaire Stewart, urban forestry supervisor at the city, noting that rat numbers have swelled in the last three to five years. “It’s not everywhere. We have had the most calls from the downtown area, and there have been areas of Glenmore with rats.” While they are fielding the rat calls, Stewart pointed out that the city isn’t responsible for

exterminating the pests unless they’re found in public parks and spaces. “A lot of it rests on homeowners and private property owners,” he said, noting that city staff will be preparing a report that will go to council in the next year, discussing a game plan for dealing with the city’s newest residents. “We have had a couple meetings with other municipalities so we can deal with this on a more regional basis. We’re going to try to get their help so we’re not working on this alone.” It will take some effort by all those affected to get on top of the growing rat problem, said Matt

Parent advocacy workshop planned With 24 years experience as a parent, PAC volunteer and tutor, Joan Irvine knows the importance of advocating for one’s child in the school system. Her motto is “a child’s best advocate is an informed parent.” Irvine will share her expertise with the

Wright, manager at Orkin. The pest control company is also regularly fielding more calls than ever before from area residents who have seen rats. And he expects to get more calls in the future. “It’s going to be ongoing, and we’re going to have to evolve with that in mind,” he said. “Kelowna is becoming more of a city than it used to be and with any city dwelling, there is more garbage and more places for rats to live. It’s not like they’re climbing all over us. But people are scared, because we haven’t seen it in the Okanagan.” Part of the reason rats are able to flourish and grow in number here is that Kelowna isn’t used to dealing with the pest. Unlike mice, which find low points in which to invade a space, rats climb. “They can climb up a tree or a vine, and into a soffit,” he said, noting that’s when they make a home. “People haven’t been educated enough to look up and make sure their soffits are good and sealed up tight.”

IMPORTANT IMPORTANT NOTICE NOTICE

Kathy Michaels

He also said that it’s important to make sure no trees or vines are touching one’s house and that yards are kept spic and span. “If you have a compost

area, make sure it’s well away from the house or rat proofed,” he said. As for concerns they’ve made their way from landfills and creeks, Wright pointed out

that’s unlikely. They’ve simply arrived courtesy of shipping pathways. He also noted that West Kelowna is more infested than Kelowna. @kelownanewsKAT

They truly capitalize on uncertainty rather than avoid it, and create simplicity where others see complexity. They embrace learning that comes from taking calculated risks. These special

entrepreneur types recognize that when opportunities are fleeting, it is sometimes more expensive to be slow rather than to be wrong. As a consequence of this, habitual entrepreneurs will find solutions that are roughly right rather than consume time developing an analytically correct but slower to arrive at answer to a perceived issue.

LABOUR DAY 2015 MONDAY SEPT 7 For many British Columbians, Labour Day may simply mean the last extended weekend of the summer. It is important to remember it is a day to celebrate working people and the contribution they make to our province and the quality of life we enjoy. The rights that workers have today such as a 40-hour work week, minimum wage, parental leave and paid holidays were hard fought for in times when labourers had few benefits, no voice and worked in perilous conditions. Many of the protections and rights that today’s employees have exist because of unions. Labour Day is celebrated on the first Monday of every September and this year on September 2 it will be in a show of solidarity for working people across the country and beyond. The origins of this national holiday are rooted in the history of the Canadian labour movement that began in the time of Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald. From a bold stand by a group of Ontario printers in May of 1872 grew the most

important legislature to impact workers in the following century. Union pioneers petitioned their employers for a reduction in the number of hours worked - asking that their workweek be reduced to six, 9-hour days. They formed an organization dubbed the Nine Hours Movement and argued that reducing working hours would benefit both workers and society as more time would be spent with family and community. Employers scoffed at their claims and rejected their demands. At the time it was a crime to be member of a union in Canada yet in a courageous act of defiance, the Toronto Typographical Union went on strike to secure the nine-hour workday. A parade was held which drew some 10,000 spectators. The workers went on strike. Many lost their job and were forced to relocate. Their employers brought in replacement workers and used this so called ‘conspiracy’ to have 24 members of the movement arrested and jailed. On June 14, 1872 Macdonald passed the Trade Union Act that legalized union activity, freed the workers and endeared him to the working class. The Toronto printers strike paved the way for unions across

North America to demand a 54-hour workweek. Canadian trade unionists have ever since, celebrated this day that has been set aside to honor ‘those who labour.’ The first Labour Day parade was held in Winnipeg in 1894, and was two miles long. Today approximately 30 percent of BC’s workforce is covered by a collective agreement. As Labour Day has evolved it remains a day of celebration, solidarity, speeches and recreation. The issues facing workers have also evolved. Today’s labour unions negotiate on behalf of a changing workforce in an ever-evolving workplace. British Columbians have different challenges to deal with, whether it is record-high housing prices, increasing levels of debt and living longer. Minimum wage, overtime, working conditions for farmworkers, health and safety and access to affordable daycare are all important labour issues. This Labour Day, take a moment to reflect on the history and significance of the day.

of the entrepreneur has an immense amount of insight and experience to offer you and me. They passionately seek new opportunities in a wide range of paths. They pursue opportunities with enormous discipline. They pursue only the very best opportunities and avoid exhausting themselves by simply chasing. They focus on execution, taking action

toward results instead of analyzing every step along the way to its death. Yet they are very adaptive to change directions if required in exploiting the best opportunity for them. They engage the energies of absolutely everyone within their domain, involving people both internally and externally to their sphere of reference in pursuit of the dream opportunity

for them They are excellent at creating and sustaining networks of relationships rather than going it alone, making the most of the intellectual and other resources offered in their journey and, in turn, helping those people to achieve their goals as well These are some of the absolute keys to the entrepreneurial mindset that I have uncovered through my research.

Sports WHL HOCKEY

Rockets’ roster replete with 20-year-olds Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

If only Western Hockey League teams were granted an extra roster spot this season for 20-year-old players. Then the Kelowna Rockets wouldn’t have any tough decisions to make come Oct. 10. As is it, the defending WHL champs have four over-age players at training camp, one more than the league-imposed limit. With goalie Jackson Whistle, and forwards Tyson Baillie, Gage Quinney and Cole Linaker all returning for their final season of major junior hockey, GM Bruce Hamilton can’t remember the last time the Rockets had this strong a class of 20-year-old talent. “I feel for them if they all end up here, because one really good and valuable member of our team has to go,” Hamilton said. “From the other side, it’s been a long time since we’ve had four such high-end guys. “It’s going to be tough decision that myself, Lorne (Frey) and the coaching staff will spend

Forward Gage Quinney is one of four 20-year-old players on the Kelowna Rockets’ roster this season. time working on what’s in the best interest of our hockey team, and what’s in the best interest of that player that we might have to move,” he added. “They’ve all been loyal and special to us, too.” One development that would make Hamilton and the Rockets’ job

that much simpler would be if one of the players lands a pro contract this fall. Whistle (Vancouver), Baillie (Calgary) and Linaker (Edmonton) are all headed to NHL training camps next week. If not, the Rockets will have to make a choice within the next few

weeks. Baillie and Quinney both bring offence to the Rockets’ attack, while Hamilton calls Linaker “a heart and soul guy who plays in every situation.” Jackson Whistle is a veteran stopper who could be a calming influence for what will be a very young Rockets’ defense this season. Any one of the four would yield a pretty good return in a trade with another WHL team, should it come to that. “I don’t know where we’re going to go yet, we’ll let things play out over the next few weeks and see what happens,” Hamilton added. “If one

of them gets a pro deal, then I’m happy for them. Hopefully, whatever happens, we’ll have three of the four here.” Linaker, for one, is pretty definitive about where he would like to spend his last season of major junior hockey— particularly with the Rockets expected to challenge for another WHL crown. Still, the Edmonton native knows the decision is largely out of his and his teammates’ control. “You can’t look to far into it, whatever management and the coaching staff wants, they’re going to do what they think is best,”

said Linaker, who has 70 career points in 183 games. “I think each and every one of us just has to stick with what made us successful in previous years and the rest will take care of itself. “It’s important to be confident,” added Linaker, “but at the end of the day, one of us will be leaving.” Quinney, who scored 20 goals for the Rockets last season, including four in the Memorial Cup, is trying not to lose sleep over the club’s 20-yearold situation. “It’s not something you can’t worry about too much,” said Quinney. “We already know one of

us won’t be here, so you just play your game and hopefully it works out.”

ROCKET SHOTS…

The Rockets will open their WHL preseason schedule on Saturday night at home to the Prince George Cougars. Face off at Prospera Place is 7 p.m.…Eight members of the Rockets who are at training camp will head to pro camps next week—Jackson Whistle (Vancouver), Tyson Baillie and Tomas Soustal (Calgary), Justin Kirkland (Nashville), Rourke Chartier (San Jose), Nick Merkley (Arizona), Devante Stephens (Buffalo) and Cole Linaker (Edmonton).

The Warriors are coming off a tight 4-3 loss to the Penticton Vees Wednesday night at the

South Okanagan Events Centre. Kylar Hope, Quin Foreman and Reed Gunville scored for the Warriors who are 1-3 in exhibition play. All the games have been close with West Kelowna being outscored 18-15 in total. The Warriors went 2-for-4 on the power play and are now 9-for-17 in

the preseason. A spirited game between two longtime rivals, a number of misconducts were handed out late in the third period. There was also a fight in the first period featuring Vees netminder Brendan Barry who squared off with Warriors’ forward Paul Lovsin after

Sun leaving rest of BCFC in its wake Warren Henderson

ultimate goal, a national championship. But right now, it’s refocusing on the nearer future, being ready to play each week and take it from there.” Like the rest of the BCFC, this is a bye week for the Sun. Okanagan returns to action Sunday, Sept. 13 at home to the Vancouver Island Raiders. Kick off at the Apple Bowl is 1 p.m.

Jay Christensen has seen deep, talented and well-conditioned Okanagan Sun football teams in the past. But few have exhibited a better blend of those qualities than the 2015 version of the B.C. Football Conference club. The Sun has been nothing short of dominant this summer, compiling a perfect 6-0 record while outscoring its opponents by an eyepopping margin of 31936. Two of those wins, by a combined total of 8423, have come against the defending champion Langley Rams. The team’s general manager said the Sun is meeting and, in many cases, even exceeding expectations. “We knew our defence was going to be good, with the leaders and athleticism we have, it doesn’t surprise me how well we’ve been playing on that side of the ball,” Christensen said. “Maybe a bit of a surprise are the number of points we’ve put up, so we’re very happy with the offense and special teams, too. “You go into every year expecting to be successful,” he added, “but given that we’ve played Langley twice and the results we’ve seen in those games, you can’t ask for much more.” Head coach Shane Beatty and the Sun have been on a mission since

Cord Delinte (right) and his Okanagan Sun teammates have reeled in six straight convincing victories in dominating the B.C. Football Conference this season. dropping a heartbreaker to Langley in last season’s conference championship in Kelowna. With an exhaustive off-season of recruiting, Beatty Sun loaded up the Sun at pretty much every position—not just with numbers but with quality. Christensen said the Sun’s depth in 2015 is second to none. “Our strength is certainly depth, we’ve got guys all over the place in every area,” he said. “We’ve gone through some injuries and haven’t really missed a beat. One guy goes down, and it’s the next guy, quality

football players coming in and doing a great job. “With a lot of teams, you have a key guy, like at quarterback or a receiver go down and you have to change some things. With our depth and the athletes we have, Shane can just stick with the same plan.” In addition to impressive contributions this season by newcomers Kyle Kawamoto, Shai Ross, Kent Lawrence and Jeremy Williams— among many others— Christensen points to the Sun’s veteran leadership group as a vital component of the team’s

success. Brennan Van Nistelrooy, Jonas Gering, Cliff Crews, Kyle Patchell along with quarterbacks, Josiah Joseph and Cam Bedore, are among a solid core of leaders who are setting the example. “Our veteran leadership is the engine that really drives the team, that works hard all the time and lets the rest of the team know how to conduct themselves,” he said. “It’s like junior hockey when you say your 20-year-olds have to show the way and be your best players. It’s the same with

The Heat, Grant MacEwan and Mount Royal are all joining the PEBL next spring. “The level of competition of the PEBL league is superior to any other club tournament or league,” said UBCO Heat women’s coach Claire Meadows. “The league is structured so that players are able to play both

PEBL and provincial team, which allows the best players in the western provinces to compete against each other at a very high level.” All teams must be coached by the assistant coaches of each university. Bobby Mitchell will coach the U17 Heat, while Kim Whelpton heads up the U15s. “This ensures that they are receiving the highest level of coaching,

which will aide in player development and also allow for players to be noticed by the university coaches of each team,” Meadows added. While the schedule is still being finalized, Meadows said the Junior Heat will be playing at the University of Alberta in April, in Calgary in May, and at the University of Lethbridge in June. Meadows said entrance in the new league will be big benefit to players

in the region and the university. “Hopefully it will be a big sell for players who want to come and play at this level, to get the best competition and coaching,” Meadows said. “(The junior Heat) will be running the same systems (as UBCO), they’ll already know the language and structure, so hopefully that will make the transition a natural one for them.” “You want to be

creating the best culture and program you can,” added Meadows, “and the (PEBL) will be a big part of that.” Meadows said tryouts for the U17 and U15 junior Heat programs are expected to begin on Feb. 21. For more information, contact Claire Meadows at claire.meadows@ubc. ca.

of storytime, where we use songs and puppets and books, is still valid and perhaps even more important in this age of technology. It offers an opportunity to socialize for both children and adults,” Youmans explained. “For many babies it is their first chance to be in a group and they learn to share, have fun and make friends.” All 29 library branches that comprise the ORL system host storytimes through the school year for children aged five years and younger. “Storytime activities such as singing, stretching and rhymes help children learn words and concepts that are the foundation of education,” Youmans said. Library programs also give new parents a chance to interact and meet each other. Fall storytimes at the ORL start during September. All are free and open to the public; some branches require registration due to limited space. For more information, check out orl.bc.ca/branches.

Snorkelers and divers find coral and reef fish at the shore of Bay of Pigs south of Havana, Cuba.

Will tourists love Cuba’s environment to death? Kevin Spear contributor

HAVANA—At a recent international conference on environmental protection, a Cuban official stressed that her nation’s treasures would not be polluted, bulldozed or otherwise sacrificed by invading American tourists. “No, no, no,” she said in English, smiling. “Sometimes we lack resources, but we are not afraid.” Nearby, a government agent displayed colourful brochures, marketing Cuba’s dazzling Keys that are akin to the Florida Keys but are still unspoiled and wrapped with stunning beaches and coral reefs. The two perspectives in that one exhibit

hall at the recent Cuban-sponsored gathering embodied the looming question of how Cuba will balance a predicted tsunami of American tourists and the nation’s celebrated environmental treasures. “Americans are dying to come and Cubans get that,” said Dan Whittle, a lawyer and director of Environmental Defense Fund’s conservation efforts in Cuba. “Most Cubans I know want to be more like a Costa Rica than a Cancun,” Whittle said. “If they allow Americans to love Cuba to death in the first couple of years, then its long-term prospects are much worse.” Costa Rica has protected its natural places for eco-tourism, while Mexico’s Cancun opted for dense hotel development near coral-rich waters. That Cuba even has the chance to pick

between those two models is thanks in part to the U.S. embargo that has blunted the nation’s economic development. A third model for Cuba is Florida, which has extensive environmental rules and resources. But they were not implemented soon enough or effectively enough to spare springs, wetlands and estuaries from degradation. Cuba, too, has sophisticated laws and extensive protected areas, but they are yet to be tested significantly by development pressure and remain largely unfunded. Among Cuban jewels are vast beds of sea grass, extensive mangrove forest and the celebrated Gardens of the Queen, an expansive reef, thriving with elkhorn coral that has all but vanished in Florida. Cuba designated it as a national park in 2010.

Whittle said biologists describe the reef, with its goliath groupers of nearly 500 pounds, as what Florida’s marine life was until the mid1900s. Mary Frances Emmons, an Orlando, Fla.based deputy editor at Scuba Diving magazine, visited the reef last year. “There were three to 30 sharks on every dive,” said Emmons, who encountered an incredible display of elkhorn coral while snorkeling. “It was the biggest stand of elkhorn coral I’ve ever seen in the Caribbean and it was in great shape,” she said. Two other environmental jewels are easily reached a few hours southeast of Havana: the

above the water. At another pool, Abreu tossed in a stone, which remained visible for 30 seconds, fluttering as it sank. Abreu said diving in the 150-foot pool is “like being a fly in the galaxy.” Also during his tour, he leads groups through jungle perched on a table of jagged limestone, where there is little indication of a trail, to a cave with pockets of crystal-clear water, crabs, owls and bats clinging to the ceiling. The ladder into the

cave is handmade from tree branches. “The idea in Cuba is to keep it natural,” Abreu said. Nearby, visitors can park along a narrow blacktop and walk a few feet to snorkel in the Bay of Pigs where a rich display of coral and reef fish unfolds at the bay’s edge. But Cuba does not have a clean slate when it comes to environmental conditions. When the Castro

Environmental protection established in ’90s CUBA FROM A29 regime took power in the late 1950s, the nation already had cleared much of its forest for charcoal production, coffee plantations and other agriculture. As Cuba pursued Soviet-style development, Havana Bay was polluted with industrial chemicals and human sewage. Aggressive production goals for sugar cane and other crops spoiled rivers

and natural landscapes and unleashed extensive soil erosion. The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 cut off critical assistance to Cuba, including fuel, chemicals and machinery. With little choice, Cuba began a green transformation, turning from big tractors to oxen and horses. In 1992, at a United Nations summit in Rio de Janeiro, Fidel Castro delivered an impassioned

speech about the planet’s plummeting health. “The forests are disappearing. The deserts are expanding. Billions of tons of fertile soil are washed every year into the sea. Numerous species are becoming extinct,” Castro said. A few years later, Cuba established a ministry for environmental protection, which led to an overarching law that spawned a host of specific protections

that are “every bit as far reaching as those in the U.S.,” Whittle said. Cuba’s environmental agencies came to be staffed, not surprisingly in a nation of free education, by qualified employees. One of them, Sonia Orue, said at the environmental conference that her agency ensures that environmental education starts at an early age in Cuban schools.

Orue studied in Holland and Brazil and has advanced degrees in chemical engineering, waste management and risk management. Also at the conference was Sebastian Africano, who lives in colourado and is international director for Trees, Water & People, a group working to improve sustainability of communities. He focuses on household energy and reforestation in Central America. “I’m blown away,” Africano said, during a conference break, of Cuba’s environmental laws and expertise. “They are very sophisticated.” Whittle, who has made more than 60 trips to Cuba in the past 15 years, said there is vigorous debate among leaders over whether to fully embrace tourism as the economic driver or strike a more careful balance between tourism development and conservation. He predicts some of that will be resolved next April during what will be only the seventh congress of Cuba’s communist party. “The U.S. won’t determine Cuba’s future,” Whittle said. “The Cuban people will do that. The Cuban government will do that. And nobody has a crystal ball to say what they will do.”

Helping local businesses reach out to Alzheimer’s caregivers The Home Instead Senior Care office serving Kelowna and Penticton is helping launch a new campaign designed to make the two cities more Alzheimer’s friendly. Through the Alzheimer’s Friendly BusinessSM program, Home Instead will provide free training to local businesses to help equip their employees with information and resources needed to welcome families who are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease. Research has revealed

that these family caregivers might be reluctant to frequent public places because of the behaviours that could be associated with the disease. In a recent survey of Alzheimer’s caregivers, 74 per cent reported that they and their loved ones have become more isolated from the community as a result of the disease. Furthermore, 85 per cent reported that they feel a reduced quality of life due to isolation. “For many caregivers, the unpredictable nature

of the disease can make going out in public with their loved one intimidating,” said Don Henke, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care franchises in Kelowna and Penticton. “It’s critical that local businesses start working now to build Alzheimer’s friendly communities to better serve their customers with Alzheimer’s and other dementias.” Local businesses can work directly with the local Home Instead Senior Care office to coordinate

president and managing director, General Motors of Canada. “Everything about the 2016 Camaro is focused on a fun, engaging driving experience, and the Canadian-built V8 at the heart of the SS model delivers on that promise.” The Camaro powertrain lineup includes an Ecotec 2.0L turbo, a next-generation 3.6L V-6 and the LT1 6.2L V-8. The new 2.0L turbo delivers the most efficient Camaro ever, with SAE-certified 275 hp (205 kW) and 295 lb-ft of torque (400 Nm)—and has a GM estimated fuel consumption rating of 7.8 L/100km highway and 0-96 km/h

The 3.6L offers an SAE-certified 335 horsepower (250 kW), giving it the segment’s highest specific output of any naturally aspirated V-6, while the LT1 is certified at 455 horsepower (339 kW) and 455 lb-ft of torque (617 Nm)—for the most powerful Camaro SS ever. The new engines are matched with six-speed manual transmissions and all-new eight-speed automatic transmissions.

Transporter reboots with new lead actor Movie Guy

RICK DAVIS nominee and co-writer Greta Gerwig (Frances Ha, Arthur) as Brooke, an adventurous New

Yorker who takes in her soon-tobe stepsister Tracy (newcomer Lola Kirke), a lonely college freshman who is not having the exciting life she envisioned in the Big Apple. Brooke rescues Tracy from her disappointment

with a series of screwball adventures in the city, but she gets more than she bargained for. Critics are again heaping praise on Mistress America calling the Baumbach/Gerwig collaboration a ferociously funny co-written story. LCC163-GM@ landmarkcinemas.com

In 2002, the first Transporter movie was released and was a moderate success. The high octane, overthe-top action helped make Jason Statham a star portraying the character of Frank Martin, a highly skilled driver who will transport anything with no questions asked. The movie spawned two sequels and a television series (with Chris Vance portraying Martin). As with many franchises, it is getting a reboot from creator Luc Besson (The Professional, The Fifth Element) called The Transporter Refueled. It boasts a new cast led by Ed Skrein taking on the title role. If you do not know who Skrein is, you are likely not alone as he is a rapper and actor from the U.K., best known for portraying Daario Naharis in the third season of Game Of Thrones. His star will likely be on the rise after The Transporter and for playing the villain Ajax early next year in Deadpool. The Transporter Refueled serves as a prequel to the original movie as former specialops mercenary Martin is

When his father pays him a visit in the south of France, their reunion is interrupted by a bank heist job that takes a turn for the worst and he ends up on the run from a Russian crime kingpin. Based upon the memoir by Bill Bryson, A Walk in the Woods stars Robert Redford as a celebrated travel writer who, instead of retiring and spending more time with his wife (Emma Thompson) and his family, challenges himself to hike the entire 2,200 miles of the Appalachian Trail. The peace and tranquility he hopes to

find in the unspoiled and spectacular countryside is anything but when he agrees to being accompanied by his estranged friend (Nick Nolte). His former friend is a down-on-his-luck serial philanderer who, after a lifetime of relying on his charm and wits to keep one step ahead of the law, sees the trip as a way to sneak out of paying some debts and have one last adventure before it is too late. A Walk in the Woods also stars Kristen Schaal,

Nick Offerman and Mary Steenburgen and is directed by Ken Kwapis, whose last film was the well received Big Miracle. Writer-Director Noah Baumbach is not a household name but he has been involved with numerous critically acclaimed movies including The Squid and the Whale, Margot at the Wedding, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Greenberg, Frances Ha and most recently, While We’re Young. His latest is a comedy called Mistress America starring Golden Globe

February 1917 – August 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Lore Wescott. She slipped away peacefully on August 30, 2015. Predeceased by her husband Alfred. Lore spent many years in Golden B.C. finally finding her home in Kelowna during the past 23 years. Lore lived life to the fullest. She was a Registered Nurse and business woman who loved to travel, play bridge and enjoy the company of her treasured friends. Lore was known for her generosity, sweet manner and kind heart. A kindred spirit with a unique personality “a one of a kind”. She was a gentle soul, full of warmth and kindness. Lore will be deeply missed by her caring friends Lui and Madeline, her close friends from her years in Golden and her sister-in-law Irma and family in German. A sincere appreciation and thanks to the staffs at Hawthorn Park and Orchard Manor. At Lore’s request there will be no service. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

NIELSON, GEORGE WILLIAM George William Neilsen (1921-2015) passed into the presence of his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on August 30, 2015 at the age of 93. He is survived by his wife of almost 71 years, Yvonne, his daughter Joan (Rick), sons Timothy and Philip (Sharon), granddaughters, Sharlene, Rebecca (Darren) and Christine (Bob), grandsons, Nigel (Sandy), Scott and Zander.

George was born on October 19, 1921 in Estevan, Saskatchewan, son of Neils Jacob Neilsen and Metha Marie Andreasen Neilsen, and completed his schooling there. After a short stint in the army, he went to Bible School, spent some time in evangelistic work, and finally, after marrying Yvonne in 1944, went to India as a missionary in 1946. George and Yvonne returned to Canada after spending 23 years as missionaries in India, and took pastorates in Fruitvale, BC, Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, High River, Alberta and Burnaby, BC, before finally retiring to Kelowna to spend some quieter years. Even throughout retirement George was often known to take speaking engagements in various churches and seniors’ homes.

Don’t be a victim of recreational vehicle theft The excitement of buying a new recreational vehicle can cause buyers to overlook one huge concern—is this vehicle stolen? If it hasn’t crossed your mind, it should—and Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers Society has a new way to investigate before you buy. The Central Okanagan area has a high percentage of ATVs and snowmobiles that are never recovered, so Crime Stoppers started a

MLA’s Report NORM LETNICK program called ‘Hot Recs’ to help recover some of this stolen property and prevent it from getting into the hands of innocent buyers. The society’s website, www.crimestoppers. net, features a ‘Hot

Recs’ page which includes a link to the Canadian Public Information Centre. Here, the public can query the vehicle identification numbers to determine if they have been reported stolen to the police. On the ‘Hot Recs’ page, you’ll see a list of recreational vehicles that have recently been stolen. It’s hoped this might help

generate leads on the whereabouts of these items. It’s worth noting that all tips to Crime Stoppers are anonymous, and can be made through the Crime Stoppers website or by phone at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). So far, two snowmobiles and a trailer have been successfully recovered locally. The society is currently fundraising in the hopes of adding other vehicles to the ‘Hot Recs’

program, such as heavy duty equipment and cargo trailers which are also popular with thieves. When it comes to preventing the theft of your recreational vehicles, Crime Stoppers offers several helpful tips. Park your vehicles in a well-lit area, with lots of pedestrian traffic if possible, to deter thieves who do not like to be seen. At the same time, never park your vehicle in a place where it

can easily be loaded onto a truck by thieves. Never leave an ignition key in the machine while unattended, and invest in anti-theft devices for your vehicle and snowmobile. Disable your tow vehicle when not in use—do not make it easy to lose both your truck and your ATV or sled at the same time. In the event your vehicle or machine are stolen, it’s extremely helpful if you’re able to provide the full serial

number to police. Keep a separate record of your registration number, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and other ownership papers. I’d like to thank coordinator Gerry Guiltenane and everyone at the Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers Society for the work they do to prevent these crimes in our community. Let’s all do our part to stop thieves and protect our valuables.
