* the following information is from the volunteer.ca website* FYI...Volunteer Canada works with over 200 volunteer centres nationwide (Volunteer Canada).
The power of volunteers • 13.3 million Canadians contribute 2.1 billion hours, the equivalent of 1.1 million full-time jobs (Canada Survey on Giving, Volunteering and Participating, 2010). • 47% of Canadians volunteer (Canada Survey on Giving, Volunteering and Participating, 2010). • Volunteers typically contribute 156 hours per year (Canada Survey on Giving, Volunteering and Participating, 2010). • Young Canadians, aged 15-24, volunteer more than any other age group at a rate of 58 per cent versus the overall rate of 47 per cent (Canada Survey on Giving, Volunteering and Participating, 2010).
Today’s volunteer
• Canadian volunteers are more goal-oriented, autonomous, tech-savvy and mobile. • Volunteering changes throughout the lifecycle, along with evolving priorities, circumstances and interests. • Volunteers are looking for volunteer tasks that involve something different from their work life. • Most volunteers are looking for short-term volunteer opportunities. • Volunteering is personal and stems from individual preferences and motivations. • More new Canadians are seeking volunteer opportunities.
Volunteering Keeps People Healthy and Productive 5 Great Reasons to Give Back 1. Develop new skills. Gaining skills, knowledge and expertise are common side effects of volunteering. Giving others your time brings you fascinating and challenging opportunities that might not come along otherwise. 2. Create new social connections. Loneliness and boredom are common among retirees, students, and people who have relocated to a new city. Volunteering can relieve this sense of social isolation. 3. Gain a fresh outlook. Life can be hard and when you’re feeling down, your problems can seem overwhelming. Volunteering can offer a new perspective—seeing people who are worse off than you are, yet still hanging in there, can help you see your life in a whole new light. 4. Know that you’re needed. Feeling needed and appreciated are important, and you may not get that appreciation from your paid work or home life where the things you do are expected or taken for granted. When you volunteer, you realize just how much you are truly needed. 5. Boost your self-esteem. Many volunteers experience a sense of increased self-esteem and greater self-worth. Research has shown that the good feelings you experience when helping others may be just as important to your health as exercise and a healthy diet.

The Best Way to Feel Good... Is To Do Good For Others! This annual event - now in its 18th year - draws 75+ local non-profit organizations who need volunteers to support the programs and services that make our community a better place to live. They are looking forward to meeting and talking with volunteers face-to-face and providing all the information they need to find their volunteering ‘home’. For volunteers, this event represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn about each organization, and how their personal involvement can make a difference in our community. One stop, with all the answers they need to make their choice (Or choices!) on where they will give their time. At the Fair, we all come together to help make kelowna a great place to live!

“Not particularly, I read the news here or there but I’m not going out of my way to. I’ve never been big into elections and voting, and I don’t really care for any of the candidates that I know so I don’t bother to vote for them.”
“No, I haven’t been paying much attention. I’m retired and I should pay attention, I’m usually political.”
“No I’m not following the election, mostly because I’m not really interested in politics.”
“I know a little bit about it, like surface stuff from watching the news and various articles you read, but I don’t know enough to create my own opinion or pick a side.”
“Municipally not really, I don’t really care who wins, but federally as long as Harper gets out I’m into that. It’s going to take some kind of collaboration from the Liberals and NDP, whatever they have to do let’s get it done.”
“I follow it. It’s important to make sure the right party gets in. I follow the U.S. one just as much though.”
CLIMATE CHANGE
Debate on environment muted on campaign trail There has been little talk about the environment in this year’s election campaign and that’s nothing new when it comes to federal politics, according to a UBC professor who studies climate change and politics. And if historical election patterns continue, the environment will likely go largely unmentioned in this federal campaign, despite the fact climate change is “the biggest environmental problem the world has ever faced,” according to UBC professor Kathryn Harrison. “Historically the environment has not been very prominent in Canadian elections,” said Harrison, an expert in Canadian and environmental politics, global warming and climate change. “The leaders are all, at least on the surface, debating tweaks here and
Kathyrn Harrison
there to a business-asusual economic strategy. “But I think a much more fundamental challenge is looming large for Canada. “We have one of the most greenhouse gas reliant economies in the world. Canadians live in big houses and drive big cars. “And we rely on producing greenhouse gasses for export. We are potentially vulnerable in that regard in that as the countries we rely on to export our fossil fuels to get serious about climate change, they are not going to want what we are selling anymore.” As climate change continues to loom, Harrison says the problem
is the effects of climate change are still coming in terms of decades, not days, allowing the three major political parties to avoid talking about the issue. And for Mother Earth, it’s been that way through the history of Canadian politics. Only a few times in Canadian voting history has the environment been an issue at the forefront of the federal campaign and each time it coincided with a period of economic prosperity as well as major environmental incidents, said Harrison. In the late 1960s, pollution issues and oil spills brought the environment to the fore while in the late 1980s, word of problems with the ozone layer were top of mind for Canadians. In 2008, climate change was briefly part of the conversation as was urban air pollution, before a recession brought people’s thoughts back to the economy. But as the world prepares for the largest
ever conference on climate change coming up this fall—the COP 21 Sustainable Innovation Forum in Paris—you would think politicians would be trying to tackle the issue. But people listening to the three major party leaders haven’t heard it. And the one party with the environment as its main agenda— the Greens—are still considered fringe with the hope to maybe elect a handful of candidates. “I think we have this chicken and egg problem because Canada is one of the countries that needs to change the most,” said Harrison. “We need to make the most fundamental changes to our economy and our systems in order to address climate change. “For 25 years politicians have said ‘don’t worry we can have it all, a healthy climate and a healthy economy are compatible.’ “That’s true. But that doesn’t mean any

KELOWNA MOTORS
WEATHER IMPACT
Economic opportunities get overlooked
Kathy Michaels
kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Many Kelowna residents said they felt the reality of climate change weigh down on them last month, as a heavy blanket of smoke rolled over the valley. A long, and unusually hot summer made a number of US and Canadian forests particularly vulnerable to fire. And when a strong northerly wind stoked the flames of a Washington blaze, it carried a week’s worth of ash to the Okanagan. The quantity of fine particulate matter in Kelowna’s sky was measured at 390 micrograms per cubic metre as August came to a close, said Tarek Ayache, an air quality specialist with the B.C. Ministry of Environment. At the peak of the 2003 Okanagan Mountain Park wildfire, the reading only got as high as 300 micrograms per cubic metre. Delhi, India, which is considered one of the dirtiest cities in the world, had cleaner skies than Kelowna did that week. It was a phenomenon that significantly disrupted the flow of activity in the Okanagan. In addition to health concerns among the elderly and children, tourism operators took a hit as beaches emptied and visitors headed for cleaner spaces. Even Okanagan College reported a side effect, noting that their facility-running, solar batteries were drained as the sun’s rays were blocked. For longtime Kelowna resident and environmental advocate Angela Nagy, the summer and its effects were far from a surprise. That doesn’t mean, however, she took them in stride. “I look around and I am disappointed,” she said. “We had 30 years to figure it out. If we only listened to the scientists, we wouldn’t be in this position. “Now, even if we stopped all emissions, scientists say it would take 50 years to go back to normal.” Nagy, who is a former Kelowna city councillor and Green Party
Angela Nagy
candidate is the CEO of GreenStep Solutions, a business aimed at helping others improve their environmental footprint. And, thanks to training by former US vice-president Al Gore, David Suzuki, and Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change scientists she’s qualified to speak on Climate Reality Project presentations to raise awareness on the issue. “While you can’t point at a forest fire or storm and say, ‘That’s because of climate change,’ we know the incidence of these catastrophic events will increase,” Nagy said, pointing out that scientists say that more extreme weather events, and the subsequent fallout, are the new normal. Locally, she said, those weather fluctuations are projected to cause the most issue by creating drought and forest fires. “That will affect agriculture, tourism and forestry,” she said, adding that there are countless other economic spin-offs from these changes. If the changes are already underway, however, what happens next? “We need to do two things, first and foremost, we need to be mitigating climate change by meeting science-based emissions reductions targets and we need to invest in adaptations,” she said. Unfortunately, she said, some emission producing industries have more influence on government policy than they should, and climate change targets are falling to the wayside. The Harper government now says Canada will reduce its carbon emissions by 30 per cent from 2005 levels by 2030—a commitment that’s been described as one of the least ambitious targets of any advanced industrial country. It’s an opportunity lost in favour of short-term
gain, said Nagy. While it may offer smoggier industries profit in the meantime, there are economic opportunities being lost. “There are emission reduction (activities) that could stimulate the economy and provide more predictability into the future,” Nagy said. Government, however, may have to start prompting business to take those greener steps,
she said. Leaning into her Green Party roots, Nagy pointed out that Elizabeth May and the party she leads have consistently shown the intention to address those needs on a national level. “The Green Party is very focused on, ‘What does the science say?’ and upholding commitments on the national level, while not interfering with conversations at the international level,”
she said. “The Stephen Harper government is known for getting in there and talking around the issue and avoiding action.” NDP, Liberal and Conservative leaders have been discussing their environmental policy in dribs and drabs, when asked questions about pipelines and emissions. The Green Party has released its platform in full.

Jean Cusworth: ‘We have legal system and it’s badly flawed’ SENTENCE FROM A4 Jennifer’s mother, Jean, related in a victim-impact statement in court last week that an attorney general once told the couple it was their duty to keep the case alive while police sought Jennifer’s killer. They appeared regularly in newspapers and on television,
asking for help in the investigation while they grieved their daughter’s death. “We don’t have a justice system,” Jean told reporters after the sentencing. “We have a legal system and it’s badly flawed.” In 2008, RCMP focused on Snelson, who was at the same house party

first trial in 2011, while defence lawyer Richard Fowler argued for 10 to 12 years. Dley said Snelson suffered while in jail and spent time in a psychiatric hospital as a result.

Rolling with the changes: Make your politicians help Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Set against the backdrop of a burning West Kelowna hillside earlier this summer, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said it was possible that climate change was the
cause of the high number of B.C. fires. While he didn’t address the government’s role in dealing with that issue, he did say there would eventually be talks with premiers across the country on how to deal with the fallout.
“When the dust settles, so to speak, on all of this we’re obviously going to sit down and assess what new or different needs to be done in the future, what we can do in terms of better co-ordination of resources, mitigation,” Harper told reporters who
had gathered for the brief visit. “We’ll look at all those things.” The dust has since settled, but it’s still unclear how the feds and province will work together to solve summer’s new set of problems. If nothing else, it’s been made clear that a review of firefighting budgets will be required, as the province blew through their allotment long before the last tendril of smoke rose from the valley. Meantime, the Okanagan Basin Water Board hasn’t waited for the dust to settle. They are operating on the theory that climate change is underway as they work with local governments to ensure there’s a game plan when it comes to water management, in particular. That will allow area residents to adapt as the changes become more apparent. Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the OWBW, points out that
the federal government’s help is needed in funding everything from infrastructure planning to habitat protection and research. “All of those things have to do with budget allocation,” she said. “People should just let their would-be representatives know that this is a priority to them— they want to have an Okanagan Valley that is less sensitive to extreme weather events.” What those changes will look like, however, remains to be seen. “There’s a lot of uncertainty and that keeps being hammered home over and over again, by everybody who is in the climate change world,” said Warwick Sears. “The uncertainty has a few levels…We don’t know how intense climate change will be from year to year, or what the weather is going to do.” Flash floods, drought, fires, rising temperatures and correspondingly lower snowpacks are

some of the issues already presenting themselves to the area. And, Warwick Sears explained that’s affecting things as basic as infrastructure planning. Weather is a huge factor in planning, but the past has become an unreliable means to predict future weather. It’s what’s called a loss of stationarity. “Normally when engineers are designing a bridge, they look at high flows of last 100 years, take the worst case scenario and then add 10 per cent … well, that doesn’t work anymore,” she said. Mission Creek, she used as an example, has experienced three onein-200 year high water events in this decade alone. “So, the question is what going to come at us, and what do we need to do to create roads and bridges that are more resistant in all the different scenarios?” While infrastructure needs may be causing some consternation among engineers and government bodies, one of the ways to deal with these changing weather patterns is habitat protection. “The federal government’s involvement in habitat protection is important,” Warwick Sears said. “A lot of those projects have a dual purpose. If you are protecting habitats by creeks and setting back development, you’re slowing the water down as it comes down… you’re reducing the intensity of flooding and reducing erosion.” Projects like the creation of a wider riparian area and a higher dyke around portions of Mission Creek, she explained, also provide a very real economic benefit and help to protect a lifestyle that people in the Okanagan have come to enjoy. “Cook Street boat launch by Manteo has
(suffered) from a big slug of sediment that has moved down Mission Creek because of the big storm events and erosion from a few years ago,” she said. “Having more trees and shrubs and a bigger area to contain that sediment will help boaters.” Lastly, Warwick Sears said that monitoring is also extremely important, and there needs to be more systems in place to track changes in water patterns. Those dollars would come from the federal government. “If you want to do this kind of engineering to improve bridges and create roads that are more resistant to high water events, you need to know how much water is in the streams,” said Warwick Sears. “The best way to do that is Water Survey of Canada, monitoring stations. They have an excellent way of tracking the stream flows. You can log on from your computer and see how high the water is.” There used to be hundreds of monitors, and now there are only 25. “They have been cut back over the last decade …we are desperate for better data to better prepare for droughts and floods and improve habitat for fish,” she said. And, she said, these things all have economic spin-off, too. “You can look at fish sentimentally, and say you want to protect them for own benefit, but they’re also a huge economic driver in the valley,” she said. “Fishing has the potential for being an incredible benefit to the valley.” All of the areas highlighted, she said, are simply common sense planning. And, the doom and gloom attitude that comes with climate change conversations reframed so long as the issue is dealt with head on.

Resigned nominee means party won’t field local riding candidate Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
A spokesman for the federal Green Party says the national executive will not order the Kelowna-Lake Country Green riding association to nominate a new candidate now that the man who won the nomination has quit to support the Liberals. Julian Morelli, director of communications for the Green Party of Canada, said the decision to not seek a replacement for now former Green candidate Gary Adams was made locally and will be allowed to stand. Morelli said while national party officials are concerned there will not be a Green candidate in the riding, they feel the decision was a “grassroots” one, and because of that the party’s national executive will not step in. He said discussions about the decision were ongoing right up until Monday night when the riding association made the announcement. “They (members of the local riding association) came to a consensus and we respect their choice as a local grassroots decision,” he said. On Monday night, the CEO of the KelownaLake Country Green Party Electoral District Association, Zena Ryder, confirmed the constituency will not have a Green Party candidate. It was Ryder’s husband Dan Ryder who came up the plan have Adams win the nomination, not run and support Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr instead as a way to try and defeat incumbent Conservative Ron Cannan. She added that because Adams is no longer the party’s
Gary Adams
candidate, he is free to support and work for any one else who is running. While Adams has indicated he will support Fuhr, she said the riding association will not endorse any candidate in the election campaign. Under the Green Party’s constitution, a Green candidate is not allowed to endorse another party’s candidate. On Wednesday, Adams, who has stayed out of the campaign since winning the Green nomination—with the exception of appearing at Fuhr’s campaign office opening—said in a public statement he was stepping down as the Green candidate and was pleased the party and the EDA were “respecting our members’ grassroots decision by not running (another) candidate and freeing local members to work on other campaigns.” He called Fuhr a “superb” candidate with broad appeal and recommended Green voters here support him. In a deal made earlier in the campaign, Fuhr agreed to consult regularly with the Kelowna-Lake Country Green EDA if elected in return for Adams not running and supporting him. Adams said he was sorry Green Party supporters who want to mark their ballots for a Green candidate in the riding would not get that opportunity.

Prior to winning the nomination last month, Adams had stated that if he won, he would not campaign but, instead, would support Fuhr. In his statement released Wednesday, Adams said there are other ridings where Green Party candidates can win, especially in B.C., and
the best way to “discard our dysfunctional firstpast-the-post electoral system, protect the planet and save our democracy from the Harper Conservatives” was for all or some of them to be elected.

Mayor challenged on water quality To the editor: As a former trustee of the South East Kelowna Irrigation District and former chair of the Kelowna Joint Water Committee(KJWC), I feel it is important to correct the inaccuracies in Mayor Colin Basran’s reported comments and challenge the simplistic conclusions on how to improve water quality for all Kelowna residents. What was not mentioned was
LETTER OF THE WEEK that the five major Kelowna water utilities that make up the Kelowna Joint Water Committee, including the City of Kelowna, have already developed a solution to the water quality issues facing Kelowna. The long-term plan the mayor wants to develop already exists. The report is titled the 2012 Kelowna Integrated Water Supply Plan (KIWSP). It was endorsed by a resolution in council Nov. 8, 2012. Also endorsed in the same council resolution was a memorandum of

understanding for implementing the plan. Both documents were also adopted by the remaining members of the KJWC. The primary purpose of the study and implementation plan is to coordinate and resolve the complex technical challenges inherent in providing water for domestic and agricultural consumption in Kelowna and to prioritize these water improvement projects for grant funding from provincial and federal infrastructure programs. The five members of the Kelowna Joint Water Committee have spent many years and huge sums of money studying the options, and costs, of improving water quality to all Kelowna residents. It is significant to know this plan was developed under the direction, guidance and participation of the province. Staff, consultants and elected representatives from all KJWC members were tasked by the Minister of Community Development Bill Bennett to create a long-term strategy for Kelowna water services that included: 1) the best, lowest cost solutions; 2) flexibility (both administrative and

Kathartic They deserve more respect from all of us for keeping the Mounties attention on a case that ran cold years KATHY after their daughter’s body was found MICHAELS in a ditch on Swamp Road. They deserve an apology from the man who two juries convicted of killing her. And they deserve to see that man behind bars far longer than he will be. Neil George Snelson was sentenced to 11 years for the 1993 killing of Jennifer Cusworth this week. (See story A4) Due to legislation that allowed him to have his time in pretrial custody count on a two-for-one basis, he will likely only serve 19 more months. It is cringe-worthy to say the least, but we know that Canadians who commit crimes like Snelson’s, serve significantly lighter sentences than their murderous counterparts south of the border. This

isn’t TV and rehabilitation is the aim, not revenge. The trouble with the Snelson case, in addition to the fact that he won’t admit he committed the crime so it’s unlikely he can be rehabilitated for any screwed up behaviour that led him to doing it, is that he was on probation for previous deviant acts when he killed Cusworth. Snelson was first convicted of committing an indecent act July 30, 1987. His second conviction came September 1993. For that conviction, which happened a month before Jennifer was killed, he’d followed a woman in his truck, and was caught masturbating. It landed him a $250 fine and was on two years probation. Another similar act was admitted to Snelson’s parole officer in 1995, while he was on probation. The Crown wasn’t permitted to use that evidence during the trial, so a jury couldn’t say whether

Jennifer’s death was the result of deviant behaviour escalating, but the circumstances of her final moments so clearly mirror those incidents I can’t imagine they wouldn’t. Jennifer was last seen drunkenly walking home alone, on a dark street. Snelson was driving home from the same party. Then she was found dead in a ditch with his DNA all over her. Does this really seem like a date gone awry? If it was, then why didn’t he come forward right away, and admit his role? Why the years of hiding, let alone the strange lyrics to Christian country songs that read like confessions? Those previous convictions should have been made available to the jury. Jean and Terry Cusworth won’t get more from the system that convicted Snelson and failed them twice. But maybe their story can act as an impetus for Canadians asking for more from the legal system.

letter ______________________________________________ GREEN PARTY
Candidate says he’s sorry to step aside To the editor: Re: To my supporters and other interested parties. At our most recent meeting, Kelowna Lake-Country Greens voted for me based on my platform of cooperation with the local Liberal candidate, Stephen Fuhr. Subsequently, Green Party leader Elizabeth May asked me to put our partnership on hold while she initiated a conversation about cooperation at the national level. While Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has always been supportive of our local cooperation effort, he was not interested in a broader cooperation that involved Liberals standing down in another riding, and Thomas Mulcair would not even return May’s phone calls. Stephen Fuhr is a superb candidate with broad appeal across the political spectrum, and
therefore an excellent chance of winning. He is personally committed to evidence-based policy, serious action on climate change, and proportional representation, all key parts of Green policy. In addition, he has welcomed Greens as part of his team, including as independent policy advisors fully encouraged to maintain their ‘greenness.’ These are some of the reasons I entered into a cooperation agreement with him, and presented this agreement to our members. This Green-initiated local grassroots endeavour was never envisioned as an endorsement, but rather a working partnership. Quite rightly, however, our local Green EDA executive wants to avoid any appearance of endorsing the Liberal Party, since our policies differ on many points. To that end, I am stepping
down as the Green Party candidate, and will instead be volunteering as an individual on Stephen Fuhr’s campaign team. My personal aim is to help Fuhr and his team bring Green policy to the voters, and ultimately to Parliament; this is the essential element of our partnership agreement which made it attractive to my local Green supporters, and unique in the history of Canadian politics. I am pleased that our party and EDA executive will be respecting our members’ grassroots decision by not running a candidate, freeing local members to work on other campaigns, including to join me on Fuhr’s campaign. This demonstrates how the Green Party does politics differently; we are not a topdown organization. I also value the Green process aimed at achieving consensus on decisions. However, this
process does take time and, in this case, it was in addition to the already considerable delay while waiting for Mulcair. I thank those who supported me in the nomination contest for their patience. To Green supporters who wish they could mark their ballots for the Green Party in KelownaLake Country, I am genuinely sorry that you will not have this opportunity on election day, Oct. 19. Fortunately, there are many ridings where excellent Green candidates can win, especially in B.C., and the best way to discard our dysfunctional first-past-thepost electoral system, protect the planet, and save our democracy from the Harper Conservatives is to elect them. In Kelowna-Lake Country, however, I recommend that you cast your ballot for Stephen Fuhr. Gary Adams, Kelowna
Frustration from Canada in a leadership vacuum dog barking REFUGEE RESPONSE
To the editor: Have you ever noticed that true leaders always rise to the challenge when a major crisis occurs? Over the past 00 years, each world crisis was successfully addressed by a proven leader—Churchill, Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, et al. Our national FLQ Crisis in the 1960s was met head on by Pierre Trudeau. You might even consider the Okanagan Mountain Fire evacuation crisis in 2003, which was also met head on by Beryl Itani and her cadre of volunteers. Today, the world’s biggest crisis since WW 2 needs true leaders to step up and help solve it. Germany has one such leader in Chancellor Angela Merkel. In Canada, we urgently need a similar leader, however I don’t see one in our present government. The Canadian military has a world class reputation for its peacekeeping and humanitarian work in areas of conflict such as Cyprus, Bosnia, Haiti and Africa.
The reputation of Canada’s military has a great history, one based on bravery and compassion in times of war and unrest. One big reason our Canadian Forces has been so successful throughout our history is by following the the unwritten mantra: Lead, follow or get out of the way. Our present PM should follow such a creed rather than hiding in a broom closet. By not leading in the true sense of the word, in time of crisis, our PM is dragging down the reputation of our great country to a very low level in the eyes of the rest of the world. As a proud Canadian, who served our country in uniform for more than 31 years, I am saddened and dismayed by our government’s pitiful response to the latest world refugee crisis. As a human being, I am embarrassed and disgusted by the lack of immediate, effective and concrete action by our Canadian political ‘elite’ towards helping fellow human beings in a time
of great need. The politicians in charge of our country have proven once again that they are a self-pandering lot who are more interested in getting themselves elected by any means rather serving fellow human beings without reservation. So many politicians today have proven by their actions, or lack thereof, that they are not leaders. Sadly, their mantra is: CYA (cover your ass). It appears that the only true leaders today, outside of the military, are volunteers within non-profit organizations all across the country that are stepping up to organize the funding, the sponsorship and the welcoming with open arms to all refugees without any reservations whatsoever. Those volunteer leaders make the rest of us Canadians feel genuinely proud and humble. Not so our politicians. A. Cabuche, Kelowna
Existing water quality strategy overlooked CHALLENGED FROM A10 technical—i.e. regardless of jurisdiction; 3) achievement of health outcomes; 4) maintaining agricultural interests. For the mayor to now propose spending thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars, on a
long-term water plan, when such a plan has already been developed and accepted by the province (not to mention city council) is a complete waste of time and money. It’s been two and half years since that plan was complete. It is time for city council to stop stalling and move
forward with getting grant funding for water quality improvements that will benefit everyone in Kelowna —not waste precious time and money on yet more studies. David Stirling, Kelowna
To the editor: The Regional District of Central Okanagan said on their phone answering service audio a few years back that the RCMP can attend to barking dogs at night when the regional district office is closed. I have been calling the RCMP for a few years now, and not once have then done anything about the barking. All the barking and inaction is affecting my health. I have a skin condition called Lichen Planus that is aggravated by stress. My toe nails are falling off without medication. If I loose my nails, they may not grow back.I want a government and RCMP who actually care about my health. I am literally sick over all the inaction and barking I have had to endure over the last five years, because there is nothing I can seem do about it. I need help, because I have done everything I can to help myself, but its not working. Sharon Schnurr, Kelowna

Reconciling the diverse interests of new constituency
Sawyer Klassen
of the Central Okanagan -Similkameen-Nicola riding is something prospective candidates
sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com
The size and diversity
will need to be aware of. Incumbent Conservative Party candidate Dan Albas, now
running for re-election in the new riding after his former constituency of Okanagan-Coquihalla was redistributed, explained having such a diverse riding can mean issues in one area are non-issues in another. “For example, my Wine
Bill for intraprovincial transit of wine. Obviously you hit the Okanagan side and that was a legitimate issue in the last election, and something people considered to be really good for the Okanagan,”Albas said. “But when you go over
to the Coquihalla side, so Merritt, Logan Lake and the Nicola Valley, the issues were more around other things. “So in that case we’re talking about ranching, forestry and community infrastructure in a rural context.” Dan Albas

Albas noted it will be up to the new riding MP to reconcile the diverse interests of the riding, to make sure that when a decision is made that all pertinent information is taken from all the perspectives and needs of the riding. That’s part of the reason that, after being elected four years ago in the last federal election, he moved his family from Penticton to West Kelowna. Albas said West Kelowna was the heart of the old riding and provided him with more access to Merritt and Summerland, which in turn made him more accessible. “I think my kids understand that their dad is doing something that he believes is important,” he described of moving his family. “They’ve been to Ottawa once or twice just to see what is I do, although I don’t think my girls are particularly interested in politics. “But they know it’s important to me, and it’s important to the country.”

Better data need to prepare for droughts and floods CHANGE FROM A8 “You can’t do anything about the weather, but you can prepare for it,” Warwick Sears said. “I went out yesterday after long procrastination and bought some battery powered LED lights you take camping. “My mom lives on the coast and she went through that windstorm. So I realized I have got to go and get some basic things in place around my house. “This is exactly the way I think about adaptation to climate change.” You want to have the basic stuff in
place. “You need to understand where your flood plains are, know what infrastructure is at risk, then you need funding that step by step improves things so we are all a little safer,” she said. And if you want to see your government respond to these concerns, express your wishes to the candidates and seek assurances that these are the kinds of things that will get funding. @kelownanewsKAT

Sports JACKSON WHISTLE
Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
By his own admission, Jackson Whistle wasn’t at his best during last year’s Young Stars tourney in Penticton. A year older, wiser and more experienced, the 20-year-old Kelowna Rockets’ netminder made amends at the 2015 edition of Vancouver Canucks rookie camp with a pair of steady performances. Whistle went the distance on Sunday at the South Okanagan Events Centre, stopping 17 shots in a 4-1 win over the Winnipeg Jets prospects. He then cleaned up in relief on Monday afternoon, as the young Canucks slipped past the Calgary Flames 3-2 in overtime. “I went in there this time kind of knowing

what to expect and I felt like I left a pretty good impression,” Whistle said. “This year, I had to get in there and show them what I could do, rather than being nervous and afraid to make a mistake. It felt a lot better for me this time.” In addition to playing for a pro contract, Whistle plans to use what he learned at Canucks’ camp to be a leader for the Rockets, while also fine tuning his own game in his final season of major junior hockey.
“You want to take it away as a learning experience, you know what to expect for next time you get up there, you see the difference, how hard those guys work, how much bigger and faster they are, and what you have to do coming back down to junior,” said Whistle. “You want to be a leader on this team here, too, lead the (Rockets) and get back to where you were last year.” Whistle proved his worth to Kelowna in 2014-15, playing 50 regular season games, backstopping the Rockets to the WHL title, then coming within one save of a Memorial Cup championship. Rockets’ assistant coach Travis Crickard has watched Whistle’s growth over the last 12 months and has seen the 6-foot-

Gering, 21, in his fourth season with the club, also assisted on a

“Maybe now he can build some more confidence, and some of that will rub off on our other guys and other goalies.” Whistle rejoined the Rockets this week and the team’s two other netminders, Michael Herringer and Jake Morrissey. Because of his experience and the youth of the Rockets’ defence, GM Bruce Hamilton said Whistle will be depended on—at least early in the season—to be a calming influence in the team’s net. “He played great at (Young Stars) and I don’t think he got enough respect for his play last year,” Hamilton said of Whistle. “We have a young defence, so he’s going to

A formidable test of both physical and mental endurance, six men from the Okanagan met the challenge head on earlier this month at the world’s largest longdistance canoe race in Hawaii. Kelowna’s Joey Hertz, Jim Bates, Mike Ching and Greg Redman, along with and Bob Woodman and Glenn Bond from Vernon, paddled their way to a silver medal in the masters men’s (40+) category at the Queen Liliuokalani race Sept. 6 in
Kona. The Okanagan crew, based out of the Kelowna Paddle Centre, placed 16th overall out of 125 outrigger canoes, finishing the 30 km race with a time of two hours and 22 minutes. The race was run in gruelling conditions with a Humidex of 48 degrees celsius. According to team member Jim Bates, the crew’s success was largely due to the existence and support of a thriving paddling program back in Kelowna. “One of the driving factors
behind the performance and future performances is the evolution of the Kelowna Paddle Centre,” Bates said. “It was pretty cool to be recognized as the ‘real deal’. We beat a lot of very good crews.” Crews from Hawaii, the mainland of the U.S., Tahiti, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain and Canada competed in the annual race.

Chiefs look for youthful squad to step up Warren Henderson
Goaltender Cole Demers is one of three returnees on this year’s Okanagan Rockets.
BC MAJOR MIDGET HOCKEY
OK Rockets start season against defending champs
Warren Henderson
whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
The intensity level should be high this weekend as the last two B.C. Major Midget League champs kick off the new campaign in Kelowna. The 2013-14 winners, the Okanagan Rockets, will battle the defending champion Northeast Chiefs in a two-game set at the Capital News Centre. “Having the last two champs going head-tohead to start the season will be exciting,” said Okanagan Rockets’ GM Braeden Pistawka. “It’ll be a good test for us.” As is most often the case in major midget hockey, the Rockets have had considerable turnover from last year’s team. Coached this season by newly-hired Jason Williamson, Okanagan will have three returnees on its 20-player roster— forwards Zach Ehrhardt, Ben Dietrich-Scammell and goaltender Cole Demers. Among the large crop of newcomers is defenceman Shawn Guison, a member of the Kelowna midget tier 1 provincial champions of the previous two seasons. The Rockets tuned up for the season by hosting an icebreaker tournament and Pistawka liked a lot of
what he saw. “We’re going to have speed and skill,” said Pistawka, “but I also like our work ethic. Last weekend, the guys played with grit and jam, so that was good to see. “I’m pretty optimistic about the season.” In Williamson, the Rockets will have a coach with plenty of junior-level experience, including winning two RBC Cups with the Vernon Vipers as an assistant in 2009 and 2010. He also spent four seasons as the Vipers’ head coach and GM.
“For him, the step from junior hockey to midget will be a fresh start,” Pistawka said of Williamson. “He comes in without any biases about the league or the players, so he can come in with an open mind. “He has been to some RBC Cups, so has experience. I think he will be a valuable asset for us.” This weekend’s games at CNC between the Rockets and Chiefs go at 3 p.m. Saturday and at 10 a.m. Sunday.
With one of the youngest rosters in the league, the Kelowna Chiefs may take some time to reach their full potential. If that’s the case, the KIJHL team’s general manager expects the payoff will be well worth the wait. “We are younger than we’ve been for a while, we’ve had some good young players step up and make the team,” said Chiefs’ GM Grant Sheridan. “This year is about building the team, and with young players, you expect to get better as the season progresses. “The hunger is there and we’re excited to see what they can do.” Following a respectable 1-1-1 start to the 201516 season last weekend on the road, the Chiefs will play their home opener tonight against the Chase Heat. Face- off at Rutland Arena is 7 p.m. The Chiefs may be young but that doesn’t mean they will be short on veteran talent. Among the key returnees is goaltender Brady Lenardon, forwards
Ryan Lawson, Dakota Kittle, Jonathan Lee and Josh Kobelka, along with defensemen Josh Johnston, Josh Baird and Kevin Roth. The crop of newcomers includes defencemen Joel Scrimbit and forward Jaden McNulty, both of whom played with the B.C.-champion midget tier 1 Kelowna Rockets last season. Jason Tansem is back for his second season as head coach and will be assisted by newcomers Ryan Jorde and Lenny Rampone. Sheridan expects competition will again be stiff within the Okanagan Division and all across the KIJHL. “The league is very strong,” said Sheridan. “There are a lot of good teams and there won’t be many easy games out there.” Sheridan added that the fan, community and corporate support

last weekend at the Lake Osoyoos Sailing Regatta, the last sailing event in the B.C. Interior this year. The Laser Radial fleet was dominated by COSA sailors, with Emily Pilon taking first, and sisters Alizon and Mackenzie Littleton finishing second and third respectively. Despite excellent finishes at the Western and B.C. Sailing Championships this summer, the Littletons could not catch up with Pilon who started the event by winning the first two races. The Optimist Fleet, which is usually divided into fleets based on sailor’s age, sailed as one fleet, with nine year olds competing against thirteen year olds. The 11-boat fleet was extremely competitive, with only a couple of
points separating first, second, and third place. Katherine Littleton completed her successful sailing season by winning two of the five races to finish first overall. Hot on Katherine’s heels was Ryan Rubadeau, finishing one point behind in second place, and brother Tyler, who finished two points behind to finish third overall. The Rubadeau siblings were on the right track to catch Littleton, with nineyear-old Tyler winning the last two races followed immediately by Ryan in both races. Based on traditional Optimist scoring methods, Katherine would also have won the red fleet, while Ryan would have earned the top spot in Blue fleet, and Tyler the winner of White

Heat golfers win PacWest tour opener James Casorso and Carolyn Lee set the pace for UBC Okanagan golfers during the first tournament of the season on the 2015 PacWest golf tour. Last weekend at the Okanagan Golf Club, Casorso captured the individual men’s title, while Lee took first place in the women’s event. In addition, UBCO placed first to claim the women’s team title.
Casorso, who is a graduate of Immaculata Regional High School, carded back-to-back rounds of 70 for a two-under par score of 140 and a two-shot victory. Casorso is in his third season with the Heat. Lee, also a third year golfer, opened up the tourney with an 84 on Saturday, the lowest score in the women’s draw. On Sunday she ran away with
the tournament shooting a 78 to finish with the win (162), besting her teammate Emily Adams (8782, 169) by seven strokes.

TOUR CHALLENGE
Cotter rink earns win on ‘the Rock’ Jim Cotter’s Okanagan rink tasted victory early in the 2015-16 curling season, winning the tier 2 title at the Tour Challenge last weekend in Paradise, Nfld. Cotter, third Ryan Kuhn, second Tyrel Griffith and lead Rick Sawatsky defeated Stony Creek, Ontario’s Mark Kean 5-3 in Sunday’s tier 2 final of the season’s first Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling event. For Grand Slam events this season, the top 15 teams on the World Curling Tour’s order of merit are placed in tier 1, while the next 15 teams qualify for tier 2. With the victory, the Cotter rink moves up to 17th overall and a step closer to qualifying for tier 1 events in the future. Cotter’s team, from Vernon and Kelowna, picked up $9,200 and now has $12,000 in earnings this season. Earlier this month, the Okanagan foursome made it to the semis of Stu Sells Tankard in Oakville, Ont.

Candidate believes strongly in her NDP roots Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Dr. Tom Martin
Norah Bowman
Bowman, a professor at Okanagan College, said she is in the race as a direct result of an appearance by Cannan in her classroom. According to Bowman, who teaches English and women’s studies, she invited Cannan to speak to her class about the federal response to missing and murdered aboriginal women in B.C. But her students were so unhappy with Cannan’s answers to their questions, one, a member of the NDP’s youth wing, implored Bowman to seek the party’s nomination for the upcoming election. The single mother of a seven-year-old son said while she voted NDP anyway, she took her time deciding to enter the rough and tumble world of politics. But once she did, and won the nomination, she immersed herself in listening to what residents of the riding have to say rather than telling them first what an NDP government would do. “I think it’s important to hear first what their issues are,” she said. Bowman is no stranger to election campaigns having volunteered to work on several in the past. But she described herself as someone who normally comes in late and does whatever organizers need her to do, like passing our leaflets and putting up signs. But this time it’s different. This time she’s the candidate and that brings with it a totally different responsibility. “There’s a lot of doorknocking,” says the affable Bowman, who moved to Kelowna when she was in Grade 12 and graduated from Kelowna Senior Secondary.
“Mostly I listen,” she says of her campaign style. “How do you know you will be able to represent people if you don’t shut up and listen to what they have to say?” And she said she is hearing plenty on the doorsteps of the riding during this campaign —concerns about personal freedoms in light of recent legislation passed by the federal Conservative government, the sputtering performance of the economy, jobs, environmental protections and the need for affordable daycare. For Bowman, who despite growing up poor in rural B.C. before moving here, completing a Bachelor of Arts degree at Okanagan College while working several jobs to pay her way and then earning her PhD from the University of Alberta, the NDP seemed like a natural fit. “NDP values are my values,” she said. “And I believe they are Canadians’ values too.” She said those values include something she learned growing up—the need to help people who need assistance. It is something she has experienced first-hand. Bowman moved to the Cariboo with her family when she was five-yearold because her stepfather got a good job at a lumber mill. But when the mill closed and her step-father lost his job, times were tough for her family. “He was unemployed for 10 years and there were times we were on social assistance,” said Bowman. She described her family as poor but responsible.“We always looked after one another.” Bowman said she is running a principled campaign, one that she, her team and her supporters can be proud of and one that, at the end of the day, will leave her the same person she was when she embarked on her run to win the MP’s job in Kelowna-Lake Country.

Conservative defends party’s support for environment Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
Despite being the second most important issue on the minds of Canadians after the economy in this federal election campaign according to pollsters, the environment appears to be getting little attention on the campaign trail. And that has many people concerned, especially because of accusations the former Conservative government has weakened Canada’s environmental protections with legislation that many environmentalists feel favour money over the health of our part of the planet. But not so says Central Okanagan-Similkameen-
Nicola Conservative candidate Dan Albas. The Tory incumbent defends the government’s action on environmental protection, saying the process for environmental projects has been streamlined, reducing duplication with provincial requirements. And he said the Conservatives reduced the number of federal agencies that have to approve projects having environment impacts to three from 41. “Proponents can now have a decision in two years for major project,” said Albas, a move that he claims will include both the required public process and scientific assessment. He said Canada has
worked with the U.S. on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and is trying to address the issue of climate change in a “balanced” way that does not turn away billions of dollars worth of investment in this country in the coming years. But critics have zeroed in on areas like environmental assessments, saying the federal government has become far more lax in maintaining regulations. Kelowna-Lake Country NDP candidate Norah Bowman touts her work organizing a local response to the Tory omnibus bill that she described as including measures she said “gutted” federal protections for lakes and

CLIMATE CHANGE
Wouldn’t it be nice to know what scientists think? When it comes to the environment, one would assume that scientists would be the best available source to try and figure out complex things like climate change. Further, one might think scientists who work for the government should be the most trustworthy, given that their salaries are paid for by the taxpayers and they are non-partisan meaning they work for whichever party takes power in Ottawa. Like politicians, they are supposed to work for us. But in Canada— the true north strong and free—information is not power on this issue. Unless you are in government and you are keeping the information secret to continue your grip on the country. In this case we’re talking about Canada, a country that by most accounts, has fallen behind many others when it comes to dealing with climate change and appears hell-bent on continuing its reliance on fossil fuels, not only for use at home but also as our main export industry. Experts say climate change is the toughest issue to deal with for political parties because it is a global problem that will need everyone working together to try and solve. So what we need is teamwork and
No Boundaries KEVIN PARNELL a government willing to share information and work well with others. Is this what we have in Canada? Not according to an Ottawa-based nonpartisan and not-for-profit government watch-dog called Democracy Watch. That group is still waiting for the results of its 2013 complaint to the federal information commissioner on this very issue. They say the Conservatives have violated their own Access to Information Act with a policy that requires scientists to get clearance from the government before they talk to the media and the public. “Any government official including government scientists are employees of the public so the public has a right to know what they are doing and what they are telling the government,” said Duff Conacher, cofounder of Democracy Watch and visiting law professor of the University of Ottawa. “The basis of our complaint is that essentially the government does not want those people speaking publicly because what they are showing
contradicts the government agenda.” Part of the problem is the actual Access to Information Act, a law that is supposed to keep the government accountable to the people. But Conacher says there are many loopholes in the access to information acts. “They should actually be called ‘how to hide information from the public acts.’ That’s what they actually are: A guide for politicians on how to hide information from the public,” said Conacher. “What they are trying to hide is scientific results by government scientists that contradict the government’s viewpoint and agenda.” Ask a Conservative MP about this issue, as we did, and you will hear denials. They don’t muzzle scientists and aren’t trying to control the flow of information. They would never! But how do we trust what a politician says when the track record of truth versus lies is a joke. Democracy Watch also tracks promises made by federal parties in election campaigns and whether or not they follow through on their promises. Here’s a shocker: Turns out they are usually lying.
According to Democracy Watch, the Conservatives did just that to get elected in 2006, when they made eight promises on an accountability act and kept just one. “In 2006 the Conservatives baited voters with false promises of cleaning up the government and making it more transparent and the Liberals may be doing that now,” said Conacher. “We will have to wait until all the platforms are out. We know politicians are lying about some of their promises so voters should take all promises with a grain of salt because of the rampant problem of dishonesty in politics. “Usually they break about half their promises. That’s been about the average” The rampant problem

Fender’s Automotive Center in West Kelowna has pledged $50,000 to support upgrades underway in the Okanagan College collision repair shop. The shop is currently being upgraded as part of the $33-million, 10,000 squaremetre renovation and expansion of trades training facilities at the Kelowna campus, which includes construction of a new Trades Training Tower. “As a business owner who hires Red Seal technicians and as someone who went through the apprenticeship process myself, I feel a responsibility to support the next generation and to help keep the automotive trade
alive and healthy,” said Fender’s owner Norm Cross. “The fact that local employers have chosen to support the new trades training complex is very affirming for us as we build for the future,” added Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton. “We are truly grateful to Fender’s and all of the other automotive business owners investing in our campus, our programs, and our students.” Cross’s connection to the college dates back more than three decades; he earned his Red Seal from the Collision Repair Program in 1983. “I worked for my dad, Norm Sr., who started Springfield
Auto Body in the mid-1970s,” explains Cross. “My father was the one who signed off on my apprenticeship ticket.” Following in his father’s footsteps, Cross opened Fender’s in 1999 as a full-service car, truck, RV, bus, and fleet repair shop, specializing in accredited collision repair, automotive glass repair, mechanical repair, detailing, and tire services. The business was awarded West Kelowna’s Best Big Business award in 2014. The Okanagan College Foundation launched the Bright Horizons Building for Skills Fundraising Campaign in October of last year. Among the earliest supporters of the campaign were
the Kelowna Automotive Dealers Association, various individual dealerships, and a host of other automotive-industry businesses. “It is very fulfilling to be part of a group of business owners willing to back students entering the automotive trades,” said Cross.“I’ve seen many examples of people my father knew and worked with who are supporting the college, along with their kids—my generation—who are now honouring their parents’ legacies.” Thefoundation is endeavouring to raise $7 million through the Bright Horizons Building for Skills Campaign in support of the renovation.

British Columbia regional owners Kim and Dave Williams are teaming up with South Okanagan, Kelowna and Vernon ABCHI franchisees and their families to participate in Walk Now in Kelowna, an annual walking charity event sponsored by Autism Speaks Canada. In addition to providing participants with water and support at the finish line, ABCHI employees and their family members are raising money in partnership with the local business community to support the event. “Our work in Kelowna gives us the opportunity to help out a great organization,” said Dave Williams. “As home inspectors, it is our job to promote the safety and well-being of individuals and families everywhere, and that’s what we aim to accomplish by participating in Walk Now for Autism Speaks Canada.” Registration for the event opens at 8:30 a.m., Sunday, Sept. 20, with the walk set to begin at 10 a.m. at Waterfront Park in Rhapsody Plaza. The walk is three kilometers long and will include activities, performers and snacks for families to enjoy. “This cause means the world to my family and me, and seeing the support for Autism Speaks Canada from our British Columbia team fills us with pride,” said ABCHI founder Bill Redfern. “All of our franchisees share our commitment to raising funds for autism research and supporting those living with the disorder, but the British Columbia region is going above and beyond.” Walk Now has raised more than $9.8 million since 2007, taking place in more than 100 cities.

news _____________________________________________________________________ TERRY FOX RUN
Local mom’s cancer fight helps inspire a new generation kparnell@kelownacapnews.com
Kelowna resident Rejeanne Droppo can still remember the day that Terry Fox ran through her community on his Marathon of Hope, beginning what would become an annual fundraiser in his name that has raised close to $700 million for cancer research over the past 35 years. Droppo was an elementary school kid in Lake Country, and like most kids who run the Terry Fox run year after year, likely didn’t know much about the devastating effects of cancer. Now 40 and a mother of two who has been cancer free for five years, Droppo will run this Sunday’s Terry Fox Run with her own daughters, who in turn will be running to support their mom, a Terry’s Team Member and one of thousands and thousands of cancer survivors who will take part in various Terry Fox runs across Canada. “I remember seeing him running down the highway,” said Droppo.
Culture Days in Kelowna Local community groups across Kelowna are invited to help celebrate the 6th annual Culture Days on Sept. 25 to 27 and everyone is invited to the party. More than 40 activities and events are planned for the weekend to inspire residents to create, participate and share. “Culture Days is a chance to get out there and explore,” said Sandra Kochan, City of Kelowna cultural services manager. “How often do you get a chance to help someone paint their vintage VW van, eat an authentic Chinese mooncake, or join a late-night gathering around an art projection on a major public building?” The festivities will kick off with a launch event at the Rotary Centre for the Arts atrium Sept. 25. View the complete Culture Days event listing online at the website culturedays.ca.
“I can’t even describe in words or fathom what he did. “From minute to minute what he had to endure. Putting one step in front of another. “One step at a time. Every morning he had to get up and he just kept going. I think it’s amazing. “He set a goal and he just kept going.” Terry Fox was diagnosed with cancer in 1977 and soon after had his right leg amputated above the knee. His Marathon of Hope took place in 1980 with the objective of informing Canadians of the importance of finding a cure for cancer. He ran an average of 42 kilometers every day for 143 days before he was forced to end his run when cancer spread to his lungs. He passed away in June of 1981. But the legacy of this true Canadian hero lives on every year in schools across B.C. and the rest of Canada as school children take part in Terry Fox runs. And it lives on in people like Rejeanne Droppo and other Terry’s Team Members, cancer survivors who run in Terry’s name.
Twelve years ago Droppo was on a personal high. She had just gotten engaged and her life was in full swing when she found a lump on her neck. She didn’t think much of it but when she found another lump in her armpit, she knew she had to get checked out. It was cancer. Hodgkin’s Disease. And all of the sudden life was not was it used to be. “I remember asking the doctor with the medication I had to take, would I be able to have kids. To think for a period of time that option might be taken away was really scary,” said Droppo, whose daughters are now seven and nine. “Now I think how lucky I am to have these two girls that are amazing. They know my story. In school, almost every kid has someone they are running for. “Cancer has touched so many lives. The children write who they are running for on their name tags and both my daughters put ‘My Mom’ on their tags. To see that was pretty special.” This Sunday Droppo will have her family at

Campground, by the river at Lillooet, I was ready for a chilled Riesling from the nearby Fort Berens winery. The air conditioning worked over time as we tucked into a warm salad – well, it was by the time it was served! Respect for fellow campers, prompted a click of the AC off switch after lights out. Day Three: Lillooet to Vernon features open highway and the chance to open up the throttle. It’s easy to push the needle to 100 klicks but frankly the higher speed take away from the visual delights displayed on both sides of the road. And as I slowed I put myself in the driver’s seat of the car behind, pulling to the side every time I spotted three cars in my mirror. The Cedar Falls Campground is a picturesque and tranquil woodland spot by Silver Star Mountain. The howling coyotes were a nice reminder that this is wilderness. A further reminder holding your iPhone in outstretched hand to get a signal from the camp Wi-Fi! We also had mobile Wi-Fi aboard, which worked well on the road.

Ride safety: All gear all the time Six motorcycle riders in BC are injured daily in the peak summer months of July and August, according to ICBC. Furthermore, 80 percent of those involved in such cases are caused by motor vehicles. Whether it’s failing to shoulder check, blowing through a stop sign, turning left when the intersection isn’t clear, or simply not seeing a rider, understand you’re not the only one on the road. We are blessed out west to have a longer riding season than most so it’s not too late this year for us to take to heart the lessons we can take from these staggering statistics. “In B.C., more than six in 10 car crashes involving motorcycles happen at intersections,” said Lindsay Matthews, ICBC’s director responsible for road safety. “It can be hard to judge how fast a motorcycle is traveling, so drivers need to watch carefully when turning left and be ready to yield the right-of-way. Whether you’re riding a motorcycle or driving a car, do your part to share our roads safely and keep your mind on the road.” As an avid motorcyclist, I’ve experienced all of those scenarios. Luckily, they were all near misses, but they’re still frustrating. The take home message is that drivers need to pay more attention. That said, riders, you pay attention as well! Safety is everyone’s responsibility and it doesn’t have to be a chore on either end. Along with paying attention, a way to mitigate damage done when riding is to wear all your gear all the time. There’s nothing more cringe-worthy than seeing someone captaining a motorcycle in a tank top or t-shirt, shorts, flip flops or canvas shoes. To top it all off, they’re carrying a passenger wearing
‘‘

just as little as they are. Though, they’re wearing helmets, so it’s okay, right? No, absolutely not. Riders, have you ever banged your elbow on a hard surface? Or hit your ankle against something? Now amplify that pain by the weight and speed that you’re motorcycle is traveling at. It doesn’t matter how good of a rider you are, or how many years you’ve been doing it, accidents happen and you want to be prepared for the worst even when you’re having fun. Actor Don McLeod had just finished filming ICBC safety gear videos (see below) and was involved in a crash not even a week after completing the segments. Normally, his riding attire was minimal, to say the least. With the only a helmet being mandatory to ride in BC, the rest of your safety gear – proper boots with protection, gloves, a jacket, riding pants (Kevlar jeans, textile or leather) are all optional. In a Facebook post, McLeod recounts his injuries, including smashing his face, and skidding across the pavement. His full-face helmet literally saved is head, and the rest of his protective gear left him bruised and sore, but in one piece and with minimal damage. Some of the best advice given to me as a new rider
was in relation to, “You’re spending thousands on your bike yet you don’t want to spend a few hundred dollars on a proper jacket and pants?” I certainly took that to heart. Check out http://tinyurl. com/ow5nlau for tips on becoming more motorcycle aware and a list of gear. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca
When riding a motorcycle, wear all the appropriate safety gear.

Audi is moving quickly to help Syrian refugees. The carmaker is making Euro one million in emergency aid available for refugees. The company is using the funds to support aid initiatives at its production sites in Ingolstadt, Neckarsulm, Brussels and Gyor. “We have been shocked by the great suffering of the refugees in Europe,” said Rupert Stadler, chairman of the board of management of AUDI AG. “People at our doorsteps are in need, and we therefore want to offer help quickly and avoid red tape.” The money from the corporate donation will flow to local aid projects at the Audi production sites. Through the Audi Volunteers initiative, employees can now suggest regional projects they would like to implement in cooperation with charitable organizations. The Corporate Responsibility committees at each site will subsequently decide how to distribute the funds. The company has long supported its employees in their efforts to help refugees. Volunteers recently renovated homes for underage migrants and organized excursions for refugee children. The automobile manufacturer is also considering ways to offer refugees long-term job prospects. The goal is to design the efforts to be both targeted and sustainable. Intensive discussions for this are currently underway.

Limited Compliance Actions Highlight Commitment to Professionalism The Vehicle Sales Authority (VSA) oversees the licensed motor dealer industry in British Columbia. The industry represents 430,000 transactions, or $10 billion in regulated vehicle sales, each year. Despite more than 1,300 consumer enquiries, nearly 800 dealer inspections and ongoing advertising monitoring, a typical 12 month period generates the following compliance activities: ❚ Voluntary acknowledgement and action by 15 to 20 dealers that errors were made during the representation and sale of vehicles, as documented in signed undertakings ❚ Up to five dealers facing hearings before the Registrar of Motor Dealers for allegations of deceptive business practices ❚ 500 consumer-initiated investigations, resulting in the return of $1 million to consumers ❚ And, as a result of licensing
reviews, three to five salesperson licences will be denied, one or two will be suspended and others will be issued with conditions based on prior conduct. Licensing and business practice decisions of the Registrar were also recently upheld by the BC Supreme Court, following applications for judicial review. The licensed vehicle sales industry in BC includes over 1,400 licensed RV, motorcycle and auto dealers that employ over 7,000 licensed salespeople. In the last 12 months, 1,600 new salespeople and 100 new dealers were certified and licensed. Consumer awareness activities, like the Watch out for Walt! campaign, are ongoing. Consumer information, complete compliance details and the 2015 VSA Annual Report, which includes a full summary of VSA activities for the last three years, can be found at vehiclesalesauthority.com.
CURBERS SELL VEHICLES THAT MAY BE UNSAFE OR STOLEN! Curbers are individuals and businesses selling vehicles for profit without a licence Curbers may get junk cars and sell them from parking lots while posing as private sellers. They advertise through local newspapers and online ads. They may not disclose the vehicle history to the buyer, hiding serious accident

Pam LeBlanc swims alongside a whale shark about an hour’s boat ride from Isla Mujeres, Mexico.
YUCATAN PENINSULA
Mexico treat to snorkel with whale sharks Pam LeBlanc Contributor
I’m hanging in a bottomless abyss of blue-green, peering through a mask, when a shadowy shape practically the size of an 18-wheeler glides into frame. A 40-foot fish swims past, its mouth so wide I can see down its throat as it scoops up millions of tiny, nearly invisible fish eggs. I’m awestruck. As a scuba diver with more than 300 dives under my belt, I’ve long dreamed of catching a glimpse of a single whale shark. Today, I’m surrounded by dozens of the giant plankton-eaters. About a decade ago, Yucatan fishermen discovered that whale sharks were congregating in the warm waters off the coast. The sharks, which they called “domino” or “checkerboard” fish, gather here during the summer months for food—they gulp the clear, pinhead-sized eggs of spawning little tunny, a type of tuna. Big, graceful and toothless, the sharks soon became the perfect tourism attraction. In the last six or seven years, the industry surrounding the phenomenon has exploded, with visitors paying $150 US or more per person for guided trips to the site, where they can jump in and snorkel alongside the animals. “After a while tour operators
started to see that it was a great experience,” says David Oliver of Solo Buceo, a dive shop in nearby Cancun that we’ve hired to ferry us to the site. Trips are also available from Holbox or Cancun. The trips are popular because, unlike scuba diving, which requires certification, even kids or grandparents can snorkel. Oliver still remembers the first time he saw a whale shark up close. “The water conditions were not too good, it was green with no visibility at all,” he says. “When I saw (the whale shark), it was already a couple of feet away from me, with the big open mouth.” Who wouldn’t want that same experience? Today, tour operators are required to follow a strict set of regulations —dropping no more than two snorkelers in the water at one time and limiting the amount of time each spends in the water—but that doesn’t always happen. Scuba diving isn’t permitted, snorkelers aren’t allowed to touch the sharks and they must stay at least a meter away from the animals. Only biodegradable sunscreen is allowed, because other types could harm the plankton the sharks eat. We’ve timed our trip to coincide with the peak of whale shark season, mid-July, but the sharks can usually be spotted here from mid-May to early September.
Angela Pierce watches a whale shark from the deck of a boat near Isla Mujeres, Mexico. From the beach on Isla Mujeres where our boat picks us up, it takes about an hour to reach the site. As we approach, we slow to a crawl. We can see the whale sharks from afar, their big black fins slicing the surface, mouths nearly as big as inner tubes breaking the surface. Our guide gives us a quick briefing, then a few tips about how to best view them. The sharks swim faster than humans, so it’s no use trying to chase one. Instead, he suggests, try to intercept one that’s swimming toward you. With a little luck—and we have
plenty—you’ll get a drive-by you won’t forget. It’s not at all scary, unless super deep water or school bus-sized fish make you nervous. These aren’t great whites—they’re more like huge catfish, minus the whiskers, with gorgeous neon blue dapples covering their skin. We hang in the water, listening for the whistle of our boat captain, who alerts us when one is headed our way. “Incoming!” I holler as one approaches. Then I take a deep breath and duck under the surface for a fish-eye view. And what a view. The whale shark
ignores me, gliding past like a silent, underwater freight train. I look in its ping pong ball-sized eye, admire the rows of dots on its skin and marvel at its huge, sweeping tail. And then it’s gone. We visit the site three consecutive days, and each day we find a bevy of whale sharks. We also find plenty of tourists—anywhere between 40 and 70 small boats, spread out, each carrying six or eight snorkelers. One day, a drone flies overhead, filming the spectacle. The whale sharks don’t seem to mind the circus, but scientists know little about how they breed, reproduce or spend their lives, and it’s unclear what effect the influx of spectators might have. Most cruise the vicinity, mouths agape; a few hang nearly vertical in the water, in what our guide calls the “botella”—or bottle—position. We’ve brought our own masks, fins and wet suits for the trip, but most companies provide gear if you don’t own your own. Our operator has also brought fruit, drinks and a stash of baguette sandwiches for when the postsnorkeling munchies hit. That’s what we’re doing now _ eating lunch, admiring the whale sharks from our boat. “I wanted to swim with the whale sharks because I love seeing how

Swimming with the sharks SNORKEL FROM B8 animals live and move and feed in the wild,” says my sister Angela Pierce, a pediatric brain cancer researcher at the University of ColoradoDenver. “Because they’re so beautiful with their spotted skin. And because I like thinking about all the different fish and animals and invertebrates and plants in the sea and how their life cycles mesh together.” I could stay here for days, I think, pondering the mysteries of whale sharks. Instead I’ll have to make do with a few days, and the hope of a return trip someday—if the sharks stick around that long.

Most days, in most ways, this park’s Upper Geyser Basin is a geothermal outlaw biker beach party—belching and splashing at all hours, with a sulfuric whiff of menace riding the breeze. But in one patch of boiling mud, about 17 times a day, the bubbling becomes something bigger. Heated to 200 degrees or more, the water and steam rise 50, 100 feet and beyond into the vast Wyoming sky. If it’s a summer day, the surrounding boardwalk and benches will be teeming with travelers from Chicago, China and thousands of other places
where mud doesn’t bubble. As the splashes grow, so do the oohs and ahhs. Sometimes Old Faithful blows for just 90 seconds, sometimes for a full five minutes. Either way, it’s one of the most thrilling scenes in North America. There’s no telling what fiery volcanic catastrophe might someday erupt in Yellowstone, but for now, this geyser masks that menace as a charming little ritual, a family photo op. That’s part of Yellowstone’s appeal. Its beasts and geothermal wonders could kill you or bury several states in ash. But in the meantime— except for the bison that dawdle in the middle of Grand Loop Road—they usually
Yellowstone has some great small-city neighbors. To the south, just beyond Grand Teton National Park, there’s Jackson Hole, the Aspen of Wyoming. To the east, Cody, Wyo., where the summer is one long procession of rodeo events and shootout skits. There’s also West Yellowstone, Mont., which is neither beautiful nor cheap but does have many vintage neon signs. Till my last visit, I hadn’t gone north to Bozeman. Now I wish I had given it more time. Bozeman (population: 39,860) has youthful energy, Old West trappings and immediate access to all sorts of epic outdoor places. Among other things it’s home to the Museum of the Rockies, which has one of the world’s leading dinosaur fossil collections. I’m not going to pretend I spent my time studying up on triceratops and deinonychus. Mostly I ate, drank and slept. And mostly I stayed on Main Street.

long day’s work. They did their best and took the results to Washington. The next year, Congress voted to make Yellowstone the world’s first national park. (The legislators also agreed to buy a Moran oil painting, “The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone,” for $10,000.) These days, the park gets about 3.5 million visitors a year. Every park lodging was sold out when we were there. (In later summer and early fall, your chances of landing a room are better —especially this year, with the opening of 249 new rooms in the park’s central Canyon Lodge area. They’ll stay open through Sept. 20.) I had been to Yellowstone with my family just five years ago, but I was thrilled again to behold the elk that lounge on the lawns at Mammoth Hot Springs, to spy a dozen bison roaming a ridge above the Hayden Valley, to watch a man, his son and his grandson fly-fishing at dusk on the Madison

River. The massive log architecture and stone fireplace of the Old Faithful Inn, perhaps the most emblematic lodge in the national park system, were as impressive as ever. And even though I knew precisely what was coming at Old Faithful, I had to hang around long enough to see it erupt not once but twice. I also had to make peace with crowds and crowd behavior. Most visitors, of course, were great, and it makes an American proud to hear the honest enthusiasm and varied accents around Old Faithful at just about any hour. But in those four days I saw an entire family step off the boardwalk to pose for pictures in a dangerous geothermal area; one father helping his son stick his fingers into the water of an offlimits hot spring; and several men and women advancing perilously close to bear and bison. Then there was the encounter I learned about from rangers: On our second day in the park, a 43-year-old woman from Mississippi approached a bison near the Fairy Falls trailhead, then turned her back on it to take a selfie. The animal stepped forward, lifted the woman with its head and threw her to the ground. Her injuries were minor, rangers said. Hers was the fifth bison-related injury of the summer. The best way to steer clear of animal attacks, rangers say, is to follow the park’s rules: Stay at least 100 yards away from a bear (especially a mother with cubs) and at
Tower Fall presents a long cascade of water falling from the base of pinnacles and towers in Yellowstone National Park.. least 25 yards from bison or elk. To steer clear of crowds? Hike more. Drive less. Rise early. Rest at midday. Roam widely in late afternoon and early evening, when many families retreat to dinner. But keep in mind that it’s possible to have a sublime park experience in the middle of a crowd. I know this because one morning I braved the busy Midway Geyser
Basin parking lot, crossed a little bridge over the Firehole River and joined the procession of global tourists on the boardwalk. First we passed Excelsior Geyser Crater. Then we strode straight into a great white cloud with a sulfurous stink. Somewhere before me, I knew, was Grand Prismatic Spring, the largest in the park, about 300 feet across. But where?

Then the wind shifted. Steam and stink vanished. Suddenly I was 20 degrees cooler, with a wraparound view. The spring began at the boardwalk’s edge with a flat, brown earthen crust, then a soggy orange fringe, a yellow edge and then the spring itself, whose greenish shallows gave way to blue. The deep blue of prisms, of cake frosting, of too much Photoshop. Implausible blue. Then the hot, stinky cloud swallowed me again, and my only sensory input was the sound of a thousand tourists, murmuring in a dozen languages at the strangeness of it all. Every time the wind changed, the setting shifted again. One moment, misty, lunar desolation. The next, a boiling blue pool with a forested slope beyond. I couldn’t get enough. I walked the loop twice. I climbed ridges to the north and south to get different perspectives. And I imagined William Henry Jackson and Thomas Moran at wits’ end, desperate to capture some sliver of this sensory spectacle.

and textures through a dazzling array of extended techniques melded with electronics. Houle will be joined by local avant-garde saxophonist Darren Williams. Pushing the boundaries of improvisation and instrumental technique to dizzying limits, in concert Williams has been acclaimed as “more fun than spiked punch.” Williams has performed with many renowned musicians including guitarist Eugene Chadbourne, Indie favourite Chad van Gaalen, and jazz percussionist Han Bennink, one of the most pivotal figures in early European free jazz. Tickets can be purchased in advance at the Alternator gallery or at the door. ART EXHIBIT The Chilcotin War: A
Colonial Legacy Sept. 18 to Oct. 31 Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art Rotary Centre for the Arts 421 Cawston Ave. Kelowna Following the Tsilhqot’in Nation’s 2014 Aboriginal title case victory before the Supreme Court of Canada has evolved Ann Nicholson’s art exhibit The Chilcotin War: A Colonial Legacy. On June 26, 2014, the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously declared Aboriginal title to some 1,900 square kilometers of claim area, the first time in Canadian history that a court had declared Aboriginal title to lands outside of a reserve. Born in South Africa, Nicholson has been living in the Chilcotin region for six years at that time. Reflecting upon the oppressive force of apartheid, Nicholson’s exhibition is inspired
by how systems of colonialism have manifested themselves in Canada. “During my time in the Chilcotin, I have begun to understand the history of the Chilcotin War and the colonial years leading up to it,” said Nicholson. “I have also begun to understand the importance of this war in the lives of people living here even now, and how much of the social fabric of the area rests upon these tragic and painful events.” As an art student in Johannesburg in the 1960s, Nicholson was expelled for her political views and activities. She consequently joined the South African Congress of Democrats, a radical white antiapartheid organization and was later imprisoned for three years for her political activism in the Anti-Apartheid Movement. “Just as South Africa
struggles to come to terms with its history of colonialism, so too does Canada,” said Lorna McParland, artistic and administrative director of The Alternator gallery. “This exhibition sheds light on a history conspicuously absent from Canadian collective memory.” The Alternator will host an opening reception for The Chilcotin War: A Colonial Legacy tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. Nicholson will be in attendance to talk about the series. The event is free and open to the public. The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is a registered non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the development of the creative community. Since 1989, the Alternator has shown the work of emerging Canadian artists, focused on innovative and nontraditional mediums engaged in social and cultural issues.

With an established career in book-selling and promotion, four books of her own and having raised a son with her husband, Jeff, she yearned for adventure and to re-ignite her passion for writing. Jeff was tired of piecing together lowpaying part-time jobs and, with Caroline’s encouragement, applied for a position as a relief lightkeeper on a remote North Pacific island. They endured lonely months of living apart, but the way of life rejuvenated Jeff and inspired Caroline to contemplate serious shifts in order to accompany him. When a permanent position for a lighthouse keeper became available, Caroline quit her job and joined Jeff on the lights. Light Years is an eloquent personal account that details Caroline’s endurance of extreme climatic, interpersonal and medical challenges, as well as the practical and psychological aspects of living a happy, healthy,

UNHOLY ALLIANCE
Depp disappears into Whitey Bolger role
Last September, The Maze Runner looked like just another dystopian science fiction action film trying to take advantage of the success of The Hunger Games and Divergent. However, it proved to be popular with audiences and at the box office, which is a good thing because a sequel was already in the works before it was released. Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials picks up right after the last movie left off with Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) and his fellow Gladers searching for clues about the mysterious and powerful organization known as W.C.K.D. Leaving the maze behind, their journey takes them to the Scorch, a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles. Based upon the 2001 book Black Mass: The True Story of an Unholy Alliance Between the FBI and the Irish Mob,
Black Mass stars an unrecognizable Johnny Depp (his favourite type of role) as infamous Boston mobster Whitey Bulger and brother to Massachusetts State Senator William Bulger. In the 1970s, the FBI persuaded Whitey to become an informant to help rid South Boston of a common enemy: the Italian mob. The movie follows the unholy alliance, allowing him to evade the law, consolidate power and become one of the most ruthless and powerful gangsters in U.S. history. The all-star cast also includes Benedict Cumberbatch, Joel Edgerton, Kevin Bacon and Dakota Johnson. With its late summer release date, the faithbased drama War Room has already garnered a lot of attention with its surprise win at the box office in the U.S. two weekends ago. It is now getting a release in Canada and
Joel Edgerton (left) stars with Johnny Depp in Black Mass.

at the Paramount Theatre. Dr. Who: Dark Water/ Death in Heaven will be shown in 3D plus feature a never-before-seen prequel to the first episode of series nine and an exclusive interview with stars Peter Capaldi and Jenna Coleman, hosted by Wil Wheaton. It shows on Wednesday, Sept. 16, 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 20, 12:55 p.m. Another special documentary presentation at the Paramount Theatre will be on the Canadian music group Arcade Fire: The Reflektor Tapes.

Last week, at my free class in the unH2O Garden, there were several questions about soil. So let me offer some pointers for new landscapes. Take special care to prepare the soil. It is much harder to improve it after the plants are in. Soil is very boring compared to plants but the better the soil, the Gardening With more successful Nature the garden will be. With good GWEN soil, plants will be STEELE healthier, reducing maintenance and replacement costs, and the landscape will be more drought-tolerant. Small, cheap plants in good soil will outperform big, expensive plants that are in poor soil. To determine your soil type, take a handful and wet it, then squeeze your fist. Open you hand. If soil is crumbly, it’s sand. If it’s a sticky ball, you have clay. If it’s in between you are in the lucky minority. Okanagan soils tend to be alkaline (coastal soils are acidic). This means plants like lavender that like a higher pH will do much better than acidic-loving plants such as rhododendrons, azaleas and Japanese maples. Before you dig, call 1-800-474-6886 to find out where buried gas, water and power lines are located. If you can, make sure soil is loosened to at least a foot depth so plant roots, air, and moisture can move freely. No matter what your soil type is, adding organic matter will improve it (e.g. compost, well-rotted manure, Glenmore Grow, Classic Compost). For soil loosened to a one foot depth, spread about four inches of organic matter over it and till in. Optional for clay soil: you can also till in about one inch of screened crusher chips to help loosen it. Never add sand. You could end up making concrete. Clay soils lack pore space for oxygen and roots, and for drainage. Once amended and workable, clay soil landscapes have the advantage of needing very little irrigation. Always keep a layer of mulch (organic matter) on the surface to prevent formation of a hard crust. Never cultivate or walk on wet soil as it will become compacted. If necessary, make a stepping stone path. Sandy soil has poor water retention and is low in nutrients. Add large mounts of organic matter— preferably of a large particle size and containing a good supply of soil nutrients. Keep mulched to retain moisture and prevent evaporation. Chunkier, nutrient-rich mulch works well. If you buy topsoil, make sure it does not contain weeds, rocks, or lumps of clay and it comes from a reliable source. Check carefully before it’s dumped. Remember to get your tickets (from Art Knapps or Bylands) for the Penticton Autumn Garden Tour on Sept. 19 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For just $20, visit 10 amazing gardens plus do some wine tasting. Details at www.summerlandgardens.org There are still a few spaces in my two night ‘Introduction to Xeriscape’ class on Oct. 1 and 8. Details and registration information are at www. okanaganxeriscape.org.

Any gardener will tell you that watching plants flourish through the summer is a rewarding experience and gives a great sense of accomplishment. Healthy plants require a good foundation, strong roots, and regular tending. Children are very similar - for them to flourish they need healthy environments, strong connections to family, and adults in their lives who show they care.

Healthy schools look to produce healthy graduates Classrooms and school grounds, where students spend at least 25 hours a week, are a great environment for nourishing our children. Along with learning the basics like reading and mathematics, schools provide lessons about respecting the differences in others, acting in a responsible and caring fashion, and they teach strategies to help children thrive in our ever-changing world.

According to the BC Adolescent Health Survey, students who reported feeling connected at school were more likely to describe their mental health as good or excellent and were more likely to see themselves continuing their education beyond high school.
