ALL-CANDIDATES MEETING
Talking business at Lake Country forum Kevin Parnell
kparnell@kelownacapnews.com
More money for infrastructure projects, an aging workforce, Canada’s reliance on the oil industry, a recession, deficits and investing in small- and medium-size businesses. All of those topics and more were raised by the three candidates running for federal office in the Kelowna-Lake Country riding as they answered questions about the economy in front of a boisterous crowd of about 200 citizens in Lake Country on Wednesday night. When asked about the three most pressing issues facing the Canadian economy, the candidates had a variety of responses. Incumbent Conservative MP Ron Cannan told the crowd that one of the biggest issues facing Canada is
the aging workforce and the need for partnerships to continue to grow our nation’s skilled labour pool. “There was a study done that said in the valley by 2020 there is going to be a need for 100,000 jobs and they anticipate only having about half of those filled so we need to ensure we are working with Okanagan College and UBC Okanagan to ensure students have the skills that are going to be needed,” said Cannan. The Conservatives, he said, have an $80-billion infrastructure program to help communities deal with things like aging roads. “The government doesn’t create jobs, entrepreneurs create jobs, so we have to make sure the money is there for entrepreneurs to take their idea to market.” Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr hammered
away at Canada’s current job creation and economic growth and said a Liberal plan would put $125 billion towards helping Canadian cities deal with infrastructure shortages. “We are in a recession and a deficit,” he said. “We have the worst economic growth record since the 1930s and the worst job creation record since World War II. “We’re going to invest money from the ground up. We’re going to put more into the pockets of Canadians with a more generous taxfree child benefit and a lower middle income tax bracket. “To create jobs you invest in infrastructure. That’s the most costeffective way that you create jobs.” NDP candidate Norah Bowman said the first thing Canada must do is cut its reliance on the oil industry and invest money

Other topics included
in alternative energy and innovation. “We need an oil industry in Canada, we need to keep it going, but we also need to diversify so the NDP is proposing to stop subsidizing the oil companies to the degree they are subsidized and use some of that money to invest in alternative energy and innovation,” said Bowman. “The economy is driven by families and people going to work and school
questions about the chronic shortage of doctors, how the parties would help promote the agriculture industry as well as the legalization of marijuana, one of the few topics the parties were split on. Bowman said the NDP would decriminalize marijuana immediately upon election allowing them to start the process of taking the control of pot out of the hands of organized crime. Fuhr said
the Liberals will legalize marijuana but said there are more pressing issues such as the economy. Cannan said he thinks the issue needs an adult discussion but is uncomfortable with either legalization or decriminalization, saying it’s a poor message to kids to make it available the same way alcohol is.

Affordability: High cost of housing poses challenges Kathy Michaels
many of his peers, Paterson is a renter. “I’d love to own a home at some point, but I’m not quite there yet. For now, renting is my best option,” he said. Adequate rentals aren’t the easiest to come by in Kelowna and to attain the lifestyle he desires, he’s had to make some concessions, like having a roommate. “It wouldn’t be viable to live on my own. I could live in my own space, but the kind of apartment or suite that I could afford with my budget isn’t the type of place I’d want to live in,” he said. “By living with a roommate, I get a nice apartment and fantastic

Wade Paterson, 28, is a universityeducated professional, working a white-collar job in Kelowna. He moved here from Alberta and over the past five years he’s grown roots in this city, involving himself in a number of community sports, even volunteering to coach in his spare time. He’s just the type of person that the city’s top tier of thinkers repeatedly say Kelowna needs to attract and keep in order to make the city thrive, both economically and socially. Finding ample affordable housing, however, hasn’t been simple. Like
location.” Not all of his friends are willing to make the same sacrifices, however. Paterson said he has a number of friends who travel “up north” to work. Many of them are currently able to delve into home ownership. “For most of them (working in Northern Alberta) won’t be longterm, but it’s difficult on them socially,” he said. “They miss out on things that are happening, or have issues committing to things. It’s tough when you’re home only 50 per cent of the time.” While Paterson has struck a work/ life balance that keeps Kelowna appealing, the Okanagan’s high housing costs have repeatedly been
lamented in both lean and robust times. The disparity is such that Kelowna earned the dubious distinction of continually being placed top of the list of “severely unaffordable” cities across the globe in an annual report published by the organization, Demographia. Their housing affordability survey has been released for 11 years, and for the last 10, it’s highlighted the disparity between local wages and housing costs. In their 2015 report, which was released in January, they wrote that the median income of Kelowna households is at $64,000 a year, while the median home price was

$409,900, making this city the fourth most unaffordable region in the country. Renters aren’t getting a deal either. As Paterson points out, the cost of living alone can be onerous. The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Association regularly publishes their rental market survey, and in their June report they listed Kelowna among the most lean rental markets in the country. As summer got underway the rental rate was at 1.9 per cent. And, with demand surpassing supply, the city-wide average for rent for a twobedroom unit jumped $34 from $964 per month to $998 per month.

Growing demand to fill jobs needs Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Jobs. It’s the four letter word previous election campaigns have been made and broken on and this time around it’s particularly important. When the price of oil nosedived, Alberta jobs were shed at a rapid pace, ultimately casting a pall over the national economy. The national unemployment rate is now seven per cent, which is down from the country’s recessionary peak of 8.7 percent, but higher than the 6.6 percent that prevailed when Prime Minister
Stephen Harper took office. Through the ongoing tumult, however, Kelowna stayed steady and out of step. Currently, said Corie Griffiths, manager of the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission, the local unemployment rate sits somewhere between the area of 4.5 to five per cent. Many economists consider four per cent unemployment the same as full employment. It sounds good, but Griffiths said full employment also comes with some challenges. “The disadvantage of

services, construction jobs, financial/insurance and real estate jobs, educational services/ scientific and technical services. The final slice of that pie encompasses the tech industry, which was recently lauded by the premier for being a “billion dollar industry.” “We are seeing growth in the number of firms by three per cent a year,” said Griffiths, noting employment figures in that area also have grown by four per cent a year. “When you think about the median wage in those professions, that aligns nicely with feeding positively the economic climate.” But will those who are trained for those careers head to the Okanagan? Or, will Okanagan youth train themselves for them? The federal and the provincial governments can help by studying area needs, and communicating needs to area schools among other things.

population growth. “It’s a tough thing to overcome, and an issue the province and the country is facing,” she said. “There’s a race for human capital throughout the world. One advantage we have in the types of careers available matched with our unparalleled lifestyle.” As for the types of jobs available, the Central Okanagan in particular has changed. Manufacturing currently represents 10 per cent of the Canadian economy, but the number is much lower locally with that sector continually withering. The biggest private industry employer in Kelowna is KF Aerospace, which has also suffered some in recent months. In February of 2014, two contracts were lost, and last August 60 layoffs resulted. A much bigger proportion of the local job force comes from public sector jobs. The top five employers in the Okanagan are trades positions, then healthcare and social

going below that figure is that we are going to have a labour shortage,” she said. “We did a quick survey of 400 businesses with our Oct. 1 Business Walks program, and learned that human resource needs were very high on the lists of barriers and challenges for local businesses.” It’s not exactly a new story for Kelowna. Before Canada nosedived into recession in 2008 on the tail of US subprime mortgage crisis, employers were vying for new employees. Even fast food restaurants posted signs boasting starting wages well above the mandatory minimum as incentive to apply. Those days aren’t back just yet, but they may be on their way. “For the entire Okanagan, the workforce needed in the next five years is somewhere in between 28,000 and 48,000,” said Griffiths, citing both conservative and bullish estimates available to her. Those figures include both migration data and

While it is generally accepted that Canada faired better than many other countries in both the timing and strength of its recovery back then— in large part because this country’s banking system had not been deregulated as it had in countries like the United States— now Canada is lagging behind other nations economically and the Conservatives, Liberals and NDP all say they have the best plan to kick-start the economy and help create jobs. For the incumbent Conservatives, many of the measures they would use are already in place having been in government for the last 10 years. As expected, their appears to be more of a stay-the-course approach. The Tories say they will continue to balance the budget, bring in billions in already announced tax cuts, including income splitting for families with children under 18 years of a age, reducing the small business tax rate to nine per cent from 11 per cent by 2019, improve programs such

under the age of three. For most of their lives she’s been a stay-athome-mom, relying on her husband to be the sole breadwinner. Living on one income in a city as expensive as Kelowna can be pretty tough, however, so last month she opted to take a retail job. “I can only work at night because daycare is too expensive,” she said. “My husband works during the day and he watches the kids when I’m gone.” In many daycares around Kelowna, full
time child-minding costs somewhere in the area of $800-plus a month. Families that qualify for subsidy pay significantly less, but, then again, they make less, as well. So, the incentive to stay at home for Parks, and many people in her position, is pretty high. After she found a way to balance her family obligations and work, however, she looked into another childcare option. Her eldest child is the right age for pre-school, which is aimed at getting young people ready for kindergarten. She found

Parties offer different promises to help parents with cost of childcare DAYCARE FROM A5 initiatives explicitly and directly linked to defraying the costs of child care expenses; the Universal Child Care Benefit (UCCB) and the Child Care Expense Deduction (CCED). The value of child care benefits grew from $0.6 billion in 2004 2005 to approximately $3.3 billion in 2013-2014, amounting to 59 per cent of what Canadian families were spending on child care in 2013 to 2014. Some have said, however, that this isn’t enough. As the campaign has heated up candidates for each party have spoken out about what they would like to do to enhance or change what is already being done.
party’s plan is to spend $5 billion a year after an eight-year phasein to pay for a million existing and new childcare spaces that cost parents no more than $15 a day. The aim is to create quality, affordable child-care spaces in each province. Quebec has already instituted a similar plan and it’s been lauded for allowing more women the ability to enter the workforce and improve upon the economic stability of their families.
CONSERVATIVES...
Last year expanded the Universal Child Care Benefit program, which the Conservative government introduced in 2006. In July, it was
given a one-time boost of $3-billion to the UCCB. The plan is what Prime Minister Stephen Harper has called “mom and dad know best” strategy.

Green convert looks for others to join him Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com
As recently as four years ago, Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola Green party candidate Robert
Mellalieu wasn’t a Green Party supporter. As a small business owner, Mellalieu identified with the Conservative party as he was into finances and economics. He didn’t
realize there was another option. That changed at the 2011 federal election when his son, who he home schooled, asked him whom he was voting for. Seeing the question

as a teaching opportunity, Mellalieu had his son print out the policy manuals for Canada’s major political parties. “He started highlighting everything, and the Green book just got yellower and yellower and yellower,” he recalled. “I told my son we aren’t from the Kootenays, we don’t smoke pot, you’re doing something wrong here. “So I read through the policy manual and within four hours I was a Green guy.” Mellalieu slowly became more involved with the party from that point on, which eventually led to his candidacy in a federal riding. As a politician, he is hoping to make a difference for his son,
and eventually his grandchildren. Although Mellalieu is fully on board with and enthusiastic for the Green Party, he noted it can be frustrating at times campaigning for what is seen by many Canadians as ‘the small Green Party.’ “It’s funny because I’ve actually gone through it with people,” he explained. “You like Elizabeth May? ‘Yeah, she’s a great leader.’ You like the Green Party? ‘Yeah, I like the values they stand for.’ And do you like me? ‘Yeah, you seem OK.’ Who are you voting for? ‘NDP.’ It’s like here we are, what else can we possibly do? It’s a frustrating thing to go through.” Mellalieu isn’t discouraged, however, as he believes in the marathon and not the
sprint. While he would love to win the election and is prepared to go to Ottawa, he would be very happy to see the popular vote for the Greens go up if he doesn’t win. He is optimistic the Greens will win a few more seats this year, and then be able to better show what the party is capable of achieving, of keeping the promises made during the election. Throughout the campaign process, particularly at the allcandidate forums, Mellalieu has become known for his sense of humour. When asked about why he always interjects humour into what he’s saying, Mellalieu answered it’s due to the usually dry nature of talking about politics and
Robert Mellalieu
platforms. “When I started teaching, it was a good way to grab someone’s attention,” he noted. “When you’re trying to make a point, you have to make sure they’re listening before you make it. “I’ve been to a lot of seminars where people have forgotten that step, they think it’s a waste of time and they just want to barf information. “When I’m teaching, I try to make sure everyone’s interested in what I’m about to tell

Opinion
Time to count our blessings on Thanksgiving Thanksgiving is a time when we are all supposed to count our blessings, but it shouldn’t — and doesn’t — have to be the only time. Study after study has shown that cultivating a sense of gratitude for the good things in our life is beneficial to our health, both mental and physical. For instance, research by Robert Emmons, a psychology professor at the University of California and Lisa Aspinwall, a psychology professor at the University of Utah, shows grateful people are more likely to have friends, less likely to obsess over their problems, to sleep better, take better care of themselves, cope better with stress and feel generally happier. One tip the experts suggest to encourage that feeling of thankfulness is writing a few minutes in a gratitude journal before turning in for the night. Emmons found that people who kept a journal to list five things they felt grateful for each night reported fewer health problems and greater optimism than those who didn’t. Gratitude, the researchers say, is about refusing to allow the negatives to interfere with the positives. It’s about choosing to be happy. Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel said it well: “For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile.” So did American novelist Alice Walker, who wrote that “‘Thank you’ is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.” This Thanksgiving, take a few moments to think about what makes you grateful, for the people and experiences that you are thankful for. And then keep on doing it in the days to come.

A brief history of health spending The federal budget document began with an ominous warning about deep cuts. Social programs, justice and corrections would be spared as much as possible, but no department would escape the knife. The stark truth was revealed in a table of figures. Health care spending, the core of the Canadian state, was cut by 3.8 per cent in just the first year of the fiscal plan, as population and need continued to grow. No, this is not from the Stephen Harper budget of April 2015, or any other in the last decade. It’s from the Jean Chretien budget of 1995, more than 20 years ago. That’s the last time anyone actually cut health care spending. But wait, you may say. Didn’t I hear that Harper has slashed health care spending by $30 billion? Yes, you probably did hear the biggest, most brazen lie of this election campaign, either from the government unions that advertised it or the politicians who parrot it. If health care really is everyone’s high-priority issue, as pollsters have long assured us, voters should at least know the facts. After cutting provincial health and social services transfers for years to end the string of operating deficits that began under Pierre Trudeau and continued under Brian Mulroney, Liberal finance minister Paul Martin rose briefly to the top job. In 2004, Martin staged meetings

Victoria News TOM FLETCHER with premiers, emerging with what was billed as “a fix for a generation,” with federal health transfers to rise six per cent each year into the future. The future for Martin’s government lasted only two years, as his minority was replaced with one led by Harper. These galloping increases continued until the Conservative majority of 2011, after which then-finance minister Jim Flaherty came to Victoria to inform provincial finance ministers of the new plan. (I was there, and the joke was that this was as far from Ottawa as Flaherty could get without leaving Canada.) The six-per-cent increases, by that time triple inflation, would continue for another five years. Starting in 2017-18, increases would be tied to economic growth, with a minimum hike of three per cent, still well ahead of today’s inflation. That remains the Conservative plan today. All provinces east of Saskatchewan pitched a fit. Manitoba’s NDP finance minister termed it “un-Canadian.” Lefties immediately called it a cut, to which Flaherty replied that transfers to provinces would rise from $30 billion to $38 billion in 2018-19, and continue to

grow after that. In B.C., then-finance minister Kevin Falcon praised the long-term approach, acknowledging that health spending was ballooning to half of the provincial budget and had to be brought under control as baby boomers start to retire. B.C. has largely accomplished that, with spending increases below three per cent and health care outcomes that continue to lead the country. As the current election campaign turns into the home stretch, Statistics Canada has announced a milestone. For the first time in history, the number of seniors exceeds number of children. This demographic shift is inexorable, predictable and must be addressed by whoever wins the Oct. 19 federal election. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair is on record that he will scrap the Conservative formula for growth-based increases that he pretends are cuts, returning to six per cent every year while balancing the budget. Little detail has been provided on how this would be done. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau announced in Surrey last week that he will ante up an extra $3 billion over four years for health care, and “sit down with the provinces immediately” to renegotiate, a rerun of Paul Martin’s political theatre.

Polling station location change discourages senior from voting
To the editor: Our democratic right to vote is being manipulated. After receiving my voter information card from Elections Canada I was very surprised to note a totally new polling station. Instead of our usual polling station at Glenmore and Highland Drive N. at Grace Baptist Church,
we are now being asked to drive downtown to the Rotary Centre for the Arts at Cawston Avenue, where there is only pay parking and is not convenient for people living in the Glenmore area where they [used to] simply stop to vote on the way to work, with free, convenient parking. The advance polling station is somewhere
Think, vote
Open letter to Prime Minister Stephen Harper: I have a few concerns. For one: Our military. Our Navy is a disgrace, the Army I think, is in much need for equipment also. Our Air Force—old airplanes. I spent 20 years in the RCAF and was proud to do so. I wonder how the men and women serving now feel. Also, you have cut back on funding to the provinces for health care and education too much. Maybe tax the very rich a little more, not overly, but a little more. Also religious freedom—it seems like people from other countries coming here get whatever they wish in schools, wherever and whatever they wish, but the Christians get nothing. Bibles are taken out of schools. For example the Gideons cannot give Bibles out any more because it may offend those of other religions. They don’t have to take them. Also the Lord’s prayer the same. Whoever doesn’t agree doesn’t have to take part. Now to the very controversial subject—the
To the editor: On Oct. 19, let’s get out in record numbers to vote for a Canada we believe in. I am voting because I believe all Canadians, and every citizen of the world, has the right to live in a healthy environment with clean air, water and soil. I am voting because it is my civil responsibility to exercise this right. Others in the world are just trying to survive with no right to vote. We have the power to make a difference for the world, step up, step forward and make that difference. I am voting because I don’t want to leave my kids and anyone’s children and/ or grandkids with an economic, social or environmental deficit. Vote, think and vote. Sheila Tegart, Kelowna

Canada continues business as usual with Saudis despite human rights record To the editor: Amnesty International has put out an urgent action on behalf of a 21-year-old Saudi Arabian man who may be beheaded. Ali Mohammed al-Nimr was arrested when he was 17 for participating in demonstrations against the government. His confession was obtained under torture. Saudi Arabia has executed over 100 people already this year. Raif Badawi, a Saudi Arabian whose wife is living in Montreal, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes and a huge fine on charges of insulting Islam and creating a website for social and political debate. There was such a world-wide outcry that after his first series of lashes months ago he has received no more but is still being held. Despite this record, Saudi Arabia has been chosen to chair a United Nations Human Rights Council that oversees nominations to key special rapporteurs and experts. Also despite this record, in April the Canadian Commercial Corporation, a Crown corporation, brokered a deal to supply $15 billion worth of Canadian-made armoured vehicles to Saudi Arabia over the next decade, in what is by far the largest military export contract in Canada’s history. Canada’s export control policy calls for a thorough human rights assessment to be conducted before a permit can be issued for a military export deal. However the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development was unable to produce any human rights reports for the year when the deal was announced (2014) or
for the year before. Even if the assessments had been conducted the department has said that it would not reveal their contents to the Canadian public, citing “commercial confidentiality.” In April the sale of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) was announced— from control by western grain growers to a U.S. multinational grain dealer and a unit of the Saudi Agricultural and Livestock Investment Company established by Saudi Arabia’s king in 2011. The unit is known as SALIC Canada Ltd. The CWB was formed in Parliament in 1935 to guarantee farmers would get fair prices for their wheat and barley. Under CWB legislation a vote was required by farmers to decide whether or not they wanted to stay with the CWB. The vote was not held and since then grow ers are not getting anywhere near the return they used to under CWB. Meanwhile Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan are under enormous pressure from the huge numbers of Syrian refugees that have fled across their borders to safety. Their neighbour, Saudi Arabia, has accepted none. Why are we supporting a country like Saudi Arabia, described by Washingtonbased Freedom House as among “the worst of the worst” of human rights offenders in the world? The kind of relationship our government has with Saudi Arabia has to be ended. Peter Kerr, Kelowna

in Rutland that needs to be searched out, hours being from noon to 8 p.m. My question is: Are we being discouraged, very inconvenienced and manipulated so that many of us seniors will not bother to vote, as we need transportation and help to find the polling stations? H. Ghislain, Kelowna
Pray for gov’t every day death penalty. We should bring it back, especially for serial killers and pedophiles who abuse and kill kids. Classic example, Blairmore Alta. These people are just using up good air. Also I think that those awaiting trial for murder, if they are found guilty, should not get the two for one deal they get now, the crime is what they chose to do. These are just some of the feelings that I have and I know the bleeding hearts will not agree with me. That’s their choice, but I know many will. Maybe even you won’t, but I felt I should let you know how many of us feel about many things. I wish you the best of luck in the coming election. My wife and I pray for our government every day and I will leave you with that. May the party that gets elected govern with wisdom, integrity and compassion.

Incentives To the editor: Canadians, almost 50 per cent fail to honour their right to vote. Maybe it is time for change—proportional voting, where your vote does count. Maybe we could encourage Canadians to vote very simply by issuing a $100 tax rebate slip when voting—apply it to your income tax papers. Why not, the election is already costing between $300-400 million. Maybe our ballots should have a referendum, binding on the new government so Canadians can feel their vote counting. Don’t be afraid to vote—dare to offer politicians a piece of your mind. Please vote for a change to our old system of first past the post—change can be very good for us all. Make politicians remember that they work for us and not the other way around. Jorgen Hansen, Kelowna

Running as the NDP candidate in a new riding that covers 16,000 square-kilometres, Angelique Wood has already experienced the challenges that will face the new constituency’s first MP. “As a candidate you do have to work within the constraints of what is possible. Our riding is massive, and people get frustrated if you can’t be at a certain thing at a certain time, but you can only do what is physically possible,” said Wood in an interview with the Capital News this week. Wood, 45, says as an elected MP, you become a conduit between what your constituents are telling you on the ground, and taking that back to caucus in Ottawa, and in turn relating what is going on in Parliament and communicating that to your home riding.
Angelique Wood
Because of her job as the coordinator for the Okanagan Similkameen Healthy Living Coalition and her past political experience as a regional district director, Wood says she’s used to the urban/rural conflicts within her riding and to a greater area stretching from Revelstoke across the Okanagan Valley and south into the Kootenays region. “One of the biggest challenges in this riding is that an issue can originate in one part of the riding and have an impact in another part of the riding,“ she said,

“I think for the last 30 or 40 years, we have been neglecting our rural spaces in favour of our urban spaces, and I think we need to have both options. We have to be innovative and creative to find ways for people to not feel the need to move from the small rural community they grew up in if they don’t want to move.” “What we’ve got now is an exodus of talent leaving our valleys for the larger cities because that is where the jobs and the money are.“ Wood says the campaign experience has been awe-inspiring and humbling, particularly with the number of people who volunteer their time to help with her campaign. “I see so many people with huge talent willing to offer so much of themselves because they want to see change in Canada.”
“I lived in an amazing place between the Strathcona and Little Italy neighbourhoods, great food and culture and going downtown was a quick, easy walk,” Wood said. “But to get to outdoor natural places, such as Lynn Canyon in North Vancouver or the UBC Endowment Lands, was an hour drive and I was missing the closeness of that from my experience in Chilliwack.” So Wood moved to Hedley in 2000, a community of barely more than 300 “when everyone is home and you take in the Upper Similkameen Reserve residents living next door.” She is glad to return to her rural roots, and remains committed to being part of a solution that will allow more young people to not have to leave Canada’s small towns in favour of larger urban centres to make a living.
citing the issue of biosolid compositing in Merritt and how some of those biosolids originate from the Central Okanagan Regional District. “You have to be prepared to solve problems that begin and end in this same riding.” Wood said she has an appreciation personally for the differences between rural and urban living. She grew up in Chilliwack, which she remembers fondly as a place where you didn’t have to lock your back door, could borrow a cup of sugar from your neighbour, and could play all day in the woods near the Fraser River. But like many young people growing up on smaller rural communities, Wood heard the call to move to an urban centre to find a job, so she moved to Vancouver and eventually forged a career as a First Nations art dealer while living in the city’s Eastside.

Treatment for Chronic Foot Pain Available in Kelowna
P
ain in the feet is one of the most debilitating injuries we can be plagued with; it is felt in the arch of the foot (Plantar Fasciitis), the heel (Plantar Fasciitis or heel spur) or at the back of the ankle (Achilles Tendonitis). Unfortunately, we continuously use our feet, which makes healing from related injuries very difficult.
success, it gives up and healing stops. Shockwave Therapy breaks up scar tissue, restoring the function of the muscle and promoting new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave. Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.
DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic
Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel. Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used. After the body has tried for weeks or months to heal the injury with no

SMALL BUSINESS
Party promises may not be meeting the real need Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com
When Shane Austin moved to Kelowna in 2009, he jumped into the city’s tech sector with a web design and marketing company. Soon he found he needed more room to work, so he and three
friends rented office space to share and work on their different ventures. The arrangement inspired the friends to consider finding an even larger space. Soon, a new business had opened up with the start of the Okanagan co+Lab in 2011, a co-
working space now shared by about 50 other small business ventures, from solo entrepreneurs to nonprofit organizations and even students. “It’s a very diverse group, about 60 per cent of them I would say are entrepreneurs of different types,” said Austin.
“The types of entrepreneurs we are working with are startups, freelancers, ‘solopreneurs,’ people getting their feet wet in entrepreneurship.” And while the many young business types may not yet be classified as a small business, some of them will likely flourish and gain traction, having to eventually hire more people, growing into the kind of small- or mediumsize operations so prevalent in the Central

He finds most of the young entrepreneurs he works with are more concerned with the federal election on a personal level with concerns about social programs rather than support for a business start-up. “They are so busy

trying to get comfortable with the role of being an entrepreneur that I don’t think they necessarily feel the election will change the outcome for entrepreneurs. It’s more personal around social issues,” said Austin. But with the growth in his own business over the last several years, Austin himself is paying more attention to the federal election than someone who may just be starting out and is buried under not only the amount of work to get a start-up going, but likely another job or contract needed to make ends meet. He said during the last two years of solid growth at Okanagan co+Lab, he has run into more and more challenges. And he isn’t hearing much from the different parties during this federal election when it comes to small business. “To me, none of the parties really stand out when it comes to small business,” he said. “Their campaign platforms are focused on other political themes like environmental and social which affect all aspects of life in Canada. “I’m starting to feel it more over the last couple years as the business has grown..just trying to bring a level of sustainability with the business. “I have to pay a lot more attention to the overall cost of running the space.” At an all-candidates meeting in Lake Country on Wednesday night, the three candidates in Kelowna-Lake Country were asked what their party would do to help small businesses grow. Each of the three candidates promised that their party would cut the small business tax rate from 11 to nine per cent.

Seeking more business incentives NEED FROM A14 Incumbent Conservative candidate Ron Cannan said his party will also offer a small business tax credit and has 51 trade agreements worldwide which will benefit small- and medium-size business and open up new markets to create jobs. NDP candidate Norah Bowman said her party proposes an innovation tax credit to save businesses $40 million a year as well as a $30-million plan to market businesses to the
U.S. Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr said his party has a $100-million plan for an industrial research assistance program that small businesses can tap into. At Okanagan co+Lab, Austin says many entrepreneurs in the startup area won’t benefit from a cut to the small business tax rate as they are not yet making enough money. Instead, he said there should be more incentives for small businesses offered by the federal government to reward
companies that create jobs and give incentives for growth with more tax breaks. “If there were incentives for growth and programs available that would influence the level of success, those are the things that could help,” he said. “It seems like the province has more things going on like that.” Overall, Austin said the diversity of the entrepreneurial scene in Kelowna will allow for some success for small business no matter who wins the election,

adding the new federal government would be well served to continue offering programs to support start-ups and small business. “I think diversity is important because it encourages more collaboration between different sectors. “It would be exciting to see more collaboration and cross-pollination between industries and sectors—government, health care and education —for the greater social good.” @KP_media1

Canada’s global influence slipping away Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
Kelowna-Lake Country Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr says he decided to run for political office in part because, travelling abroad, when he looked back at Canada, increasingly, he didn’t like what he saw happening here. That wasn’t just his view, it was coming from other people in other countries as well. “I talked to a lot of other people about their perceptions of Canada,” said the retired Air Force major who, after starting, running and selling an aircraft satellite communications business here, worked as a private pilot. “The perception of what you see is
influenced by what others see.” But the seeds for his change from pilot to would-be politician were sown earlier. It was the Conservative government’s decision to replace Canada’s aging jet fighter fleet with a controversial new plane, the F-35, that started him on the road to politics. As someone who not only flew fighter planes for the RCAF for years, but also managed part of the fighter program as an officer, he knew the government’s decision to buy the F-35 was the wrong one. And the more closely he looked at the issue, the more concerned he became. “If (the Conservative government) could get that so wrong, what else

So after doing his research, finding his values meshed more with the Liberal Party than the Conservatives, who he has said he voted for while serving in the military, Fuhr joined the Liberal Party and soon found himself on its Kelowna-Lake Country riding association’s board. When it came to
seeking candidates for the Liberal nomination for the upcoming federal election, he was asked to run. He did, and was named the candidate in June 2014. Fuhr was one of the first Liberal candidates in the country to be nominated for the Oct. 19 election.

FUH R FROM A16 The 46-year-old, who was born in Edmonton, raised in Kamloops and educated at Trinity Western University in Langley before embarking on his 20-year military career, said he was concerned Canada, once known for its reputation as an honest broker in world affairs, is now too quick to take sides. And that is hurting its reputation abroad. “You have to play to your strengths and the major strength we have— but are quickly losing—is our influence,” said Fuhr. Despite his experience representing Canada in other parts of the world, Fuhr said it’s at home where he would like to help make change. He points to issues like water, recently dubbed the top priority for the
City of Kelowna, as an area that could benefit from infrastructure spending by the federal government. And he points to the party’s threepart infrastructure plan that would spend a total of $60 billion over 10 years on social, green and transportation projects. Fuhr concedes this area has seen federal funding in the past, but said it’s hard to quantify how well the riding has done because, in his words, “we don’t know how much was left on the table.” If elected MP, he has vowed to work hard to make sure municipalities in the riding get their fair share of federal tax dollars for programs they need to complete. And, to that end, he said he has already done much of the legwork outside the riding to

just a “fresh face” when seeking federal funds for Kelowna-Lake Country area projects.

According to Kelowna-Lake Country Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr, the deficits will, in fact, be used to cover the party’s proposed multi-year, multibillion dollar infrastructure funding program.

Where the rubber hits the road in terms of large-
scale involvement of the federal government at the municipal level is infrastructure funding. While other federal
services are provided, money for road, bridge, water distribution and treatment facilities and a host of other
infrastructure projects is crucial for Canada’s cities and towns. “Municipalities are responsible for 66 per

cent of the country’s infrastructure but we only get eight per cent of the tax revenue,” said West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater. As a result, the issue of infrastructure spending by Ottawa, both to help municipalities and create good-paying jobs, has risen to the top when it comes to promises by the main parties. At the urging of Canada’s mayors and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, national party leaders are talking about infrastructure and the Conservatives, Liberals and NDP all have plans they say will help. The most ambitious is likely the Liberal’s plan given that it will require three years of deficit spending to realize. The Liberals say they will spend $60 billion in three areas —social, green and transportation—over 10 years to improve the Canada’s municipal infrastructure. The Conservatives plan to top up the plan they
announced in the last federal budget with a new transit funding plan that will increase to $1 billion per year by 2020. The NDP says it will increase the federal Gas Tax transfer to municipalities as one way to get more money in the hands of civic leader for infrastructure funding, as well as spend more on transit and affordable housing programs. “This is the first time I have heard all the party leaders talking about municipal issues in a federal election,” said Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran, adding it’s a welcome sign. He said while his city has done “fairly well” in the last few years in terms of federal funding for projects, with contributions towards the new John Hindle Drive and and an investment in the new Okanagan Innovation Centre under construction in downtown Kelowna, across the country municipalities have not done as well and that’s a

concern. Both he and Findlater said there is an urgent need for sufficient and predictable funding for municipal infrastructure projects from the federal government. But both are happy to hear federal leaders say that want to see more money directed to Canada’s cities and towns. “To a large extent, things that we have to deal with at the local government level, we need funding from both senior governments, federal and provincial,” said Lake Country Mayor James Baker. In many cases, projects are funded on the basis of the municipality, the province and the federal government each contributing a third of the cost. But the concept of partnerships goes much further than that. In West Kelowna’s case, the recent improvement’s to Gellatly Road involved

History Creates the Future By Julia Chambers I hear you: “History… why do we have to learn about history?” “History doesn’t teach us anything we need to know.” “I don’t want to learn about the past… I only care about the here and the now.” For everyone who assumes that history is boring, unneeded or unimportant, please, do me a favor and take a reality check. Knowing and understanding the past is completely necessary. The comprehension of our existence would cease to exist if we were not educated on our history. The importance of history can be examined from a political, social and personal perspective. History enables you to learn from past experience. It is a way of learning from past mistakes, thus never repeating them. The past’s mistakes could be classified as warning signs. Take the holocaust for example. God forbid that there should ever be another event like the holocaust, as so many people suffered. In discovering what led up to a horror such as the holocaust, society has been able to use these warning signs to their advantage and fight against the odds to confirm that unwanted history is never repeated. Understanding the events that lead up to a large incident improves our ability to better predict and influence our future. When I visited Auschwitz, there was an engraved quote written by George Santayana. It read: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” This is a statement that I will never forget when I think back to my experience at the famous Jewish extermination camp, that still haunts most to this day. If we want to understand the inner workings of the current society, then we need to understand the history that shaped it. History aids tremendously in our understanding of society, as well as how each change in society occurred, resulting in how present day society is run. How can we understand society if we do not have an idea of who created it? People and events from the past formed society. Like society, everything is affected by change. It is how we grow as a species. It is how we evolve. For example, pre and post war events leading and following the Second World War shows us that a simple small happening can set off a huge chain reaction of changes. History provides the insight on how ordinary life from the past is completely dissimilar to daily life today, how these changes in society arose over the years and what helped contribute to these changes. Do you ever wonder why Ancestry.com is rising in popularity? Many people are highly interested in knowing where they came from and for the most part, intrigued in knowing their family’s background. This is important for many, as it gives them a sense of identity, as well as fascinates them by hearing about their ancestors pasts. It is true that history is made up of real people’s stories, but every well-written story provides a lesson. It is vital to hear the lessons of those who came before us. If we did not listen and preserve these stories, future generations would come across a large void in their history, therefore loosing that sense of identity. Furthermore, our history inspires us to take action in our own lives. This inspiration does not necessarily have to come from our ancestors. It could simply come from our parents. The history of our personal home lives is going to affect how we care for our future families, which could either have a positive or negative ripple effect on history. To answer your question, history is not just some boring class subject that we, as tudents, are required to learn. History has largely influenced who we are as individuals. History is not just learning about Christopher Columbus or the French revolution. Yesterday is history, tomorrow will be history, the rest of our lives will one day be history because history is a never-ending series of infinities that affect each and everyone of us and will until there is no more existence. We are the makers of history. We are the history that will create the future.

THE BLACK AND GOLD Here’s to you our K.H.S. To your sports and studies: In basketball why we’re the tops In Algebra not dummies. This is our creed for K.H.S. May this be our song, – First in lessons, first in sports, May we keep you strong! Watch the Black and Gold fly high Kelowna’s on her way; on victory’s hers, But, win or lose, You will hear us say,“We will fight for K.H.S. And uphold her creed!” Stand and cheer her teams today, Keep her in the lead! Sound familiar? No? The first stanza is from ‘The Grizzly’ -K.H.S’ 1942 yearbook, and the second from the 1941 yearbook. With the 2015/16 school year beginning and newish Grade 10 students roaming the halls, I thought I would shed some light on a few significant moments in K.S.S.’s history. As proud students of Kelowna Secondary School, we might as well know a bit about our second home for three years of our life, right? Before 1892, if students chose to continue with their education after middle school, they only had the options of Vernon or Grand Forks for high school. This meant students from Kelowna had to drive an hour or two every morning just for the opportunity to attend a high school. I’m sure many students would sooner call high school a mandatory burden than an opportunity, but in comparison to the amount of effort it took back then just to get a good education, teenagers these days are very fortunate. In 1910 a small building for Kelowna High School was constructed. K.H.S remained there for almost 30 years until they moved to a tight, six-room addition in the Junior High School on Richter Street. Hooty the Golden Owl was made the mascot of Kelowna High School in 1949 “for all he stands for in good sportsmanship and achievement will inspire future graduates to greater goals of success.” K.H.S. became the secondary school we know and love in the 1960’s. During this time the school had a diverse range of sports and activities including: Badminton club • Curling club • Fencing club • Rowing club • Golf team • Future Nurses’ Club • Future Teachers club Athletic Council • S.C.F • Dance Band …and many more. The most successful club at K.S.S. according to the 1966 Golden Owl annual was the I.S.C.F (Inter School Christian Fellowship). Another popular group was Dance Band, led by the fearless leader of the music program, Mr. Mckinley, and were “known throughout the province and beyond for their exceptional musical talents and exuberant spirits.” December 12th, 1979 a fire was accidentally started by two 10th grade girls in the junior high section of K.S.S., and the school burned down. As devastating as that December day was, it ended up for the better. Plans were set in motion for a new permanent building for the school, and in the meantime, portables had to be used. In 2002 students moved into the new K.S.S. location on Raymer Ave, complete with old bricks from the junior high building lining the multi-purpose room, and the title of being a power-efficient “green building”, which is much more cost-effective than the old school’s boiler. KSS’s school pride has long rivalled that of any other school in the Okanagan valley. After reading old yearbooks and newspaper articles, it is clear that throughout the years the majority of people who went to K.S.S. loved it and look back with fond memories on their time here.
Service above self: Join the KSS Interact club! By Jasmine Pathak In a school as big as KSS, it’s hard to recognize how many amazing activities you can get involved in. One club working quietly in the background is the KSS Interact Club. Even if you haven’t heard of them, you’ve probably seen their popular pacho days before. Combining the words international and action, Interact Clubs are affiliated with the Rotary International Club, and is a volunteering initiative for students aged 12-18 to make a difference in their school and in the community. Every club is sponsored by a local Rotary club, which provides guidance and support when needed, and there are more than 12,300 Interact clubs in 133 countries. The club works to carry out service projects throughout the year, whether that be locally such as volunteering in the community, or internationally such as raising money to build schools in developing nations. The KSS Interact Club has accomplished commendable things in it’s past years. Last year we raised over $3000 for PolioPlus, Rotary’s most prominent global initiative to eradicate polio. We also raised money for the Nepal earthquake relief. The KSS Interact club continuously volunteers in the community such as at the Kelowna Gospel Mission and puts on many pacho days. Additionally, each year we are responsible for putting on the AP banquet, which is a time for grade 11 and 12 students in honours or AP classes to celebrate their hard work and achievements over the year. Last year, the banquet was held in the Laurel Packinghouse downtown, and was a great success. The Interact club is always looking for new members, and students are encouraged to join. The club meets every Friday in room 141 (Mrs. Kulak’s room) at lunch. See you there!
Super Lunar Evening By Tenille Crowe Photo credit: Patricio Crooker - The blood moon as seen from the Bolivian Altiplano
On the evening of September 27th there was a rare phenomenon occurring in our sky. That night there were 4 things happening to our moon. The first is that the moon was at its perigee, which means that it was as close to earth as possible during its cycle, which was approximately 363,396 km away. Secondly it was a full moon. This combination results in a Supermoon, or in astrological terms a Perigee-syzygy. During a Supermoon the moon looks 7% larger 16% brighter then a normal full moon. The third occurrence was a total lunar eclipse. The eclipse of a Supermoon is extremely rare, occurring only 5 times in the 1900’s and not to happen again until October 8th, 2033. Many people have taken to calling lunar eclipses blood moon, due to the reddish tinge that the moon takes on. This red colour is caused by Rayleigh scattering, which also causes colourful sunsets and sunrises. The 4th and last occurrence is that for all folks in the northern hemisphere it was also the harvest moon. The harvest moon is the first full moon of autumn and the closest to the September equinox and is called the harvest moon because that’s when farmers usually harvest their crops. In case you missed the moon that night (possibly due to watching Trump, which aired that night.)

Parties have differing ideas on how to heal the economy that invest in innovation and development, $160 million over four years to help aerospace companies adopt new technology, $90 million to help the automotive parts industry, $100 million to help create 40,000 more co-op jobs, $55 million for manufacturing in the forest sector, $40 million for research and development and $10 million to promote Canadian wood products. The NDP would also reduce the small business tax credit by the same amount as the other two parties but would increase the corporate tax rate for larger companies by two per cent to 17 per cent from 15 per cent.
It would also start talking to the provinces about a partnership to create one million more daycare spaces at a maximum of $15 per day. That plan would take place over eight years. Like the Liberals, the
contributions from local groups, as well as developer contributions in the form of development cost charge revenue, as well as provincial and federal money. Findlater noted that its was a small, $20,000 contribution from a local society that actually spurred on the multimillion job in the first place. But while federal funding has flowed into this area, in large part because it has had
two MPs representing the governing party for many years, there are still concerns. Basran said the federal New Build Canada program is one of them. Set up by the Conservative government to help fund municipal infrastructure programs, Basran said the program sounds great but provides no clear direction about how to apply for funding and when money is approved, in many cases it is “back-funded,” meaning the money comes through in the last
years of the project, not at the beginning. In the case of multi-year municipal infrastructure projects that can be problematic, he said. Still, as Kelowna has experienced in the past, the better prepared a municipality is with its projects, the better the chance of them being partially funded by Ottawa. All three mayors said they feel they have, and have had, good working relationships with all local MPs and do not expect
transfers to municipalities through programs like the federal gas tax refund. The NDP is also promising $500 million as an incentive to get more affordable housing built across Canada.

of their mandate to fund their infrastructure program.

The Liberals have also vowed to spend more on infrastructure, which that say will create good-paying jobs and invest in communities as municipalities identify the projects they feel need the funding. The Liberals are proposing a three-fund approach, with $20 million each for social, green and transportation
infrastructure over the next 10 years. Like the Conservatives, the Liberals would also reduce the small business tax rate to nine per cent from 11 per cent but would dump the Tory’s Universal Child Care Benefit in favour of their own Canada Child Benefit that would see larger monthly amounts paid to lower income families and less to higher income families. They would cut income splitting for high-come families. The big difference between the Tory and Grit approaches, however, is that the Liberals say they will run budget deficits for the first three years

Crunch time for Rocket 20s
Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
Warren Henderson For one member of the defending Western Hockey League champs, this will be their final week in a Kelowna Rockets’ uniform. Like all WHL teams, the Rockets must declare their three overage players by Oct. 15. Kelowna currently has four 20-year-old players on the roster—Jackson Whistle, Tyson Baillie, Cole Linaker and Gage Quinney. Rockets’ president and general manager Bruce Hamilton has been searching around for possible trade partners, but as of Thursday hadn’t made a lot of headway. “Unless something jumps out, it’s likely going to be next week before anything is done,” said Hamilton. “Right’s now we’re seeing where there’s interest. We’re going to try and do what’s best for the team and best for the player.” Hamilton is hoping to acquire a player or a draft pick in return, but added there’s no guarantee a

Forward Cole Linaker is one of four 20-year-old players with the Kelowna Rockets. The WHL team must settle on its three overage roster spots by next Thursday.
deal is imminent. If no trade is made, the Rockets would have to place one of the four players on waivers. Baillie currently leads the WHL in scoring with 12 points, while Whistle is 4-0-0 as the club’s No. 1 netminder. Quinney and Linaker have been alternating
in and out of the team’s lineup and have each played in five games. Quinney had two goals and five assists, while Linaker had two goals and three assists. Whoever the odd man out happens to be, Hamilton said it will be tough to see him go. “They’re not only very
valuable players, but they’re all good people,” he said of the four players. “That makes this difficult.” Ideally, Hamilton would like to acquire an experienced defenceman, but said few teams are likely to part with such a commodity this early in the WHL season.
For Brad Ralph and his Kelowna Rockets, it’s good to be home. After playing six of their first seven games of the WHL season on the road, the Rockets will return to Prospera Place ice Friday night to take on the Victoria Royals. “They’ve been playing well,” Ralph said of the Royals, who are 4-1-0-0. “Every team we come up against seems to have a different style, we haven’t seen them yet, they’re a heavy team. “It’s nice to be home and it’s exciting to see how we match up against them.” The Rockets are coming off six straight games away from home, including four in a fivenight span in Alberta. Kelowna went a solid 3-1-0-0 against Central Division foes, concluding the tour with a 6-5 win Tuesday in Medicine Hat. Consdering his club has played just once at home to date, a 5-2-0-0 start to the 2015-16 campaign sits well with the new head coach. “I think in the big picture, we’re pretty happy with where we’re at,” said Ralph. “We’ve
Every team we come up against seems to have a different style, we haven’t seen them yet, they’re a heavy team.” Brad Ralph played a lot of hockey in a short time, four in five is not easy but we got some big wins and some big performances. “I think the real positive is that we can improve,” he added, “we’re winning games but we can still be better.” Admittedly, the number of goals being scored— particularly against his own team— has been a bit of a surprise for Ralph in the early going. In seven games this season, the Rockets have tallied 34 times while giving up 29—or more than four per game. “I knew we had a potent offence and we would score, but I expected tighter defensive hockey from us,” he said. “The good thing is, that’s something we can fix…and when we do, we’re going to be an even harder team to
handle.” After going pointless in his first three games, forward Nick Merkley got on the board with his first goal of the season Tuesday against the Tigers. Merkley, who led the Rockets last season with 90 points, was injured at Arizona Coyotes rookie camp and just played his first game of the season on Friday night in Edmonton. Ralph said the Calgaryborn forward isn’t all that far away from returning to form. “Every injury takes some time to get back in the groove, sometimes it’s eight to 10 games before you’re playing your game,” said Ralph. “With Nick being as good as he is, I expect his recovery time will be shorter. Him and (Rourke) Chartier were both pretty good against Medicine Hat, so it shouldn’t be long before he’s back to normal.” The Rockets will have the remainder of the weekend off before returning to action Wednesday at home to the Red Deer Rebels. Kelowna’s next road action is next Friday and Saturday, Oct. 16 and 17 in Prince George.

Owls, Mustangs among top teams at UBCO tourney
KSS Owls captain Letesha Mapstone moves the ball upfield at the UBC high school girls’ field hockey tournament last weekend. The Owls went undefeated with four wins and two ties during the tourney. This weekend, KSS is in Victoria for the annual Bridgman Cup tournament.
Girls hockey celebrated this weekend
IMPORTANT IMPORTANT NOTICE NOTICE
As part of the fifth annual IIHF World Girls’ Hockey Weekend, Kelowna Minor Hockey is playing host to its annual peewee and bantam female rep hockey tournaments. Both tourneys begin today at Rutland and Memorial Arenas and run through until Sunday. The peewee draw features six teams— Kelowna, Surrey, TriCities, Langley, Prince George and Vancouver.
Ten teams will compete on the bantam side— Kelowna, South Island, Surrey, Tri-Cities, Williams Lake, Kamloops, North Island, Prince George, Richmond and West Kootenay. “This coming weekend is an excellent opportunity to come out and support some of our female teams in Kelowna,” said Dani Sarbit, a member of the female development team for KMH. The peewee final is set
for 5:45 p.m. Sunday at Rutland East, while the bantam championship goes at 7 p.m. at Rutland West. As a special feature of the tournament, KMHA will be hosting a Hockey Shootout outside Rutland Arena from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. Equipment will be supplied and people are urged to bring a friend. Meanwhile, as part of the celebration one of Kelowna’s atom girls
teams, coached by Allister Jones, will be in Penticton Saturday to take part in Hockey Canada’s Long Game. Fifty-five games featuring 110 teams in the atom, peewee, bantam, midget and senior divisions will be played all across the country. The Kelowna atom girls will be on the ice from 3 to 4 p.m.
B.C.’s top-ranked KSS Owls will be among the favourites for this weekend’s UBC Okanagan senior girls volleyball tournament. The Owls, who are No. 1 at the AAAA level, are one of 44 teams at the annual Ogopogo tournament, with games to run Friday and Saturday at UBCO, George Elliot, Rutland and Immaculata. Also competing are the Immaculata Mustangs, the top-ranked and defending B.C. A champs, as well as Mt. Bocuherie, George Elliot, OKM, Rutland and Kelowna Christian. The finals are set for 3:50 on Saturday at UBCO. KSS is coming off another strong effort at the Trinity Western University Tournament in Langley last weekend. On Friday, the Owls
defeated Elgin Park and Surrey Christian in pool play, before losing to Pacific Academy, the top team in AA. The Owls were led by middle blocker Sadie Taylor Parks who dominated the front row, along with libero Denika Widmer, who was stellar on defense in the back row. “KSS setter Brooklyn Norman and right side hitter Sarah Watson proved to be a very dangerous combination all day on Friday,” said Owls coach Tony Sodaro. On Saturday, KSS ousted Cochrane, Alta. in straight sets, then defeated Handsworth (No. 5 in AAAA) two sets to one in the quarterfinals. “Power hitters Quinci Birker and Janel Filipiak had their best matches of the year with terrific passing and very steady
blocking and spiking,” said Sodaro. In the semis against Pacific Academy, KSS fell 25-23 in the opening game, before rebounding for a 25-23 win in the second. It was the first loss of the season for PA. But the Owls ran out of answers in the deciding set and were eliminated. “The win (in the second game) did come with some bruises, as starting power hitter Janel Filipiak tore a deltoid muscle and the Owls were unable to scramble for the win in set 3,” Sodaro said. “Jayne Reid was very steady on the right side all day Saturday, and she finished very strong as a power hitter as well. “The Owls also relied on senior Sam Temme and Sandy Kent who both played multiple positions for the Owls all weekend long.”

records, setting up one of the most exciting and dramatic finals in years. Penticton came out strongly to start the match and were unlucky not to take the lead when Mike Beliveau’s rocket from 22 yards struck the corner of the crossbar and post but stayed out of the net. After the recess, the battle resumed with both teams generating some chances and drama ensued as the Brown’s Colin Burton was sent off by veteran referee Mike Vandeleest for dissent with 20 minutes remaining. However, it was a counter attack by the depleted Browns that led to a free kick 25 yards from the Penticton goal. With 16 minutes left on the watch, Grant Campbell’s sweetly-struck free kick took a slight deflection off the end of the wall which caused the ball to curl in to the bottom corner, wrongfooting keeper Tony Sheremata. The final quarter of an hour could only be described as an onslaught by Penticton as they tried to level the match and nearly did but Beliveau’s shot somehow missed an empty net after a scramble in the box.

Kelowna farmland reclaimed from flood sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com
The BC Wildlife Federation has helped a Kelowna resident reclaim some of her farmland. Brenda Durault, the owner of Curly Frog Farm, has had continuous flooding problems on one of her fields. In fact, the flooding became so repetitive that she lost her farm status in 2004. Now, with the help of the BCWF, Durualt is turning her field into a
way to farm in a high water table. “I started looking into different ways of farming, and found something called chinampas,” she explained. “Chinampas basically are where you dig a canal and pile the extracted soil on a platform. Then you have some growing room where the roots aren’t always in water all the time.” Durault’s new-look field combines both agriculture and wildlife, which isn’t
Independent film collection at ORL The Okanagan Regional Library has added Indieflix to its collection of digital resources, a streaming video service of awardwinning independent feature films and documentaries from around the globe. Anyone with an ORL card can create an IndieFlix account and stream content for free. The collection has over 7,000 titles, including independent film festival hits from Sundance and Cannes. “What’s great…is that the content is always available for streaming; there are no holds or waiting or downloading needed,” said ORL’s virtual branch head, Chantelle McGee. “The films on IndieFlix can be
streamed on any Internetenabled computer, tablet, smartphone, or even through an Xbox or Roku.” IndieFlix is the ORL’s first collection of streaming films and includes everything from documentaries to film shorts and TV series. There are channels for PBS, action, romance, festivals, foreign, food and much more. “It’s exciting as more online content becomes available to library customers”, McGee said. “Over the past few years we’ve greatly expanded our eBook and eAudiobook collections, and have added services like Zinio for Libraries that allow users to download magazines for free.”
easy to accomplish. Given her interest in creating an environmentally friendly agriculture method on land, the BCWF brought in volunteers to help with construction and also funded it. The volunteers spent four days working on her property, wrapping up Sunday by planting
native species in and around the chinampas. The work isn’t completely done yet as seeding, watering and maintenance still needs to be completed, but the base of the chinampas are in place. “I’ll be able to farm the raised areas, and when
we do flood it will help direct the water and the flow so we will dry out faster,” Durault said. While it will still be some time before Durault is able to harvest the first crop from her new wetland field, she said she will likely be planting hay.

Legal chilling affect on designated drivers lifted You’re a designated driver for a group of friends. You are driving on a highway, at highway speed. One of your drunk, boisterous passengers grabs and cranks on the steering wheel, causing a crash. You are seriously injured. Do you have a right or claim against the boisterous passenger, for fair, financial compensation for your injuries and losses? Absolutely. Our civil justice system provides for a right of compensation against someone who, due to their negligence, causes you injury. When a negligent driver of a British Columbia insured vehicle causes you injury, the responsibility to pay that financial compensation passes on to ICBC. What about in the passenger scenario I described?
Does the passenger’s legal Achieving responsibility to you Justice pass on to ICBC? The answer to that PAUL question abruptly HERGOTT changed from “no” to “yes” on Sept. 23, 2015, with the release of a decision by the B.C. Court of Appeal. The lawsuit was being pursued by Marnetta Felix, a woman who was seriously injured when her drunk boyfriend grabbed the steering wheel and caused a crash that occurred in 2006. The courts had already made an assessment that fair, financial compensation for the injuries and losses suffered by the seriously injured driver was close to $800,000.

ICBC. What was their analysis? It’s complicated. Email me, and I’d be happy to provide you with a copy of the decision if you want to read it. But whatever chilling effect on designated drivers has been lifted. I am hopeful that ICBC seriously considers public safety in its decision whether or not to appeal this case to the Supreme Court of Canada.
the result of his analysis might have a chilling effect on the willingness of designated drivers to continue helping to keep our roads safe. If a designated driver cannot recover, from ICBC, compensation for losses arising from a crash that is caused by his or her drunk passengers, losses that might include a loss of livelihood, perhaps acting as a designated driver is too risky. This is an example of the reality that judges impartially interpret and apply the law, even if they don’t like the results. Fortunately, the panel of three judges of the Court of Appeal agreed on an alternative analysis, with the drunk boyfriend fitting within the definition of an insured, the result being that the seriously injured driver was able to recover her losses against
The issue at the trial was whether or not a passenger of an ICBC insured vehicle fits within the definition of an “insured” within the statutory framework that, effectively, is the insurance policy. The definition of insured includes someone who“…uses or operates the vehicle…” The analysis by the trial judge, in a decision rendered Feb. 3, 2014, resulted in the conclusion that the drunk boyfriend had not “used” the vehicle within the meaning of the legislation and dismissed the case against ICBC. It was noted by the trial judge that

Premier bullish on movie studio potential for Kelowna Sawyer Klassen
SAWYER KLASSEN/CAPITAL NEWS
BC Premier Christy Clark took a tour of Bardel Entertainment in Kelowna Monday afternoon. Bardel is an animation studio that works with companies such as Nickelodeon, Warner Brothers and Sony. Clark said she toured Bardel Entertainment’s new location on Lawrence Avenue because high tech is now a billion dollar industry in the Okanagan, and the company offers the type of economic diversification the region needs. “We have to diversify the economy in the Okanagan,” she said. “We have forestry, agriculture, tourism, retirement, but we need businesses here that are going to be bringing in lots of young people and new ideas. It’s the tech industry that’s the future for the Okanagan Valley. “I’m very excited, and I think we should be very proud that a local business like this one has attracted international attention the way it has.” Clark added the provincial government has been helping to promote the tech industry in the Okanagan. “We’ve supported this business and the whole digital field with tax credits, especially pretty rich regional tech credits to encourage people to deploy outside of Vancouver. These regional tax credits have attracted a lot of people to come and invest in businesses here, but it’s also making sure the talent is available. “We’re going to continue to invest in universities and colleges to produce the grads that businesses like this one need,” she said. “And immigration of course is another one.
the population of bears. The hunt supports a lot of family-run businesses all across the province in very small communities, so my view is that as long as it’s done on a scientific basis, as long as it’s done humanely and carefully, it’s something that we have space to do in the province.” She also addressed a wolf cull that is underway
coming.”

••• The topic of trophy hunting, specifically with bears, was brought up and Clark defended the province’s stance on allowing it. “We have a very, very healthy population of bears. It’s all scientifically managed, it’s very carefully done, there is absolutely no threat to
in the Kootenays, which she said is being done to protect an endangered species of caribou that will otherwise be wiped out of the province. She also mentioned the Trans-Pacific Partnership should be very good for the economy, giving B.C. more opportunities to trade around the world. edit@kelownacapnews.com

Premier Christy Clark speaks with Barry Ward, president of Bardel Entertainment in Kelowna. Thirty per cent of the people here (at Bartel Entertainment) are from other countries. You can’t build businesses and communities without people.” Clark fielded questions on a variety of other topics, including the possibility of a sound stage in Kelowna for the
movie industry. “The tax credit does extend to that here, and there’s a richer tax credit outside the Lower Mainland than there is inside the Lower Mainland, so what it would take is an entrepreneur that decides he or she wants to get that going here,” she
said. “It won’t be the government that does it. We can do everything we can to encourage it by making sure talent is available, which it is, (and) by making sure tax credits are good enough to attract people here, which I think they are. “I think Kelowna’s time for a movie studio is

A UBC Okanagan professor is studying the best way to encourage people to open their wallets for a good cause. Working in conjunction with the United Way, assistant professor Ross Hickey is examining the various ways charities ask for money—email, faceto-face, the soft or hard sell—and determining what works and why. The work is important, says Hickey, as charities are increasingly being asked to undertake important public services that were at one time provided by government. Charities perpetually have to fundraise to ensure those services continue. “In the absence of stable government funding to support many of the services charities provide, I think finding the most efficient and respectful way to support charitable fundraising efforts is in the public interest,” said Hickey. “In this particular study with the United Way, we will examine what impact the various methods of asking for money has on

Hickey, who teaches economics in the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences, is working on the research with co-
authors Justin Smith, from Wilfred Laurier University, and Abigail Payne, from McMaster University. Hickey says there is a growing body of work on charitable giving. Previous studies published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the Quarterly Journal of Economics and the American Economic Journal, all highlight a
number of findings with respect to charitable giving. Among the findings were that supermarket fundraisers fair better when they verbally approach people for donations rather than silently sitting back, and that holding lottery-style charity drives outperform strictly voluntary fundraising campaigns.

Christy Lovig made a significant career shift six years ago when she moved back to Kelowna from Edmonton. Lovig had been practicing law at a large Edmonton firm that dealt with multi billion-dollar oil and gas companies, and is now a partner at Doak Shirreff LLP Lawyers, where her clients are her friends, neighbours, developers and small business owners. “They’re completely different styles of practice,” she said. “In Edmonton, my practice with the larger firm had a very narrow focus, and didn’t allow for much direct client interaction. I worked 18 hour days seven days a week. When I interviewed with them I thought it was a selling feature that they had a hot meal service every night and cots in the lawyers lounge. “Now I’m realizing that was not a good thing. It was just nice to come back to my hometown and engage directly with my clients and feel as though I could make a greater impact.” Lovig specializes in corporate -commercial business law, wills and estates and real estate law which derives from her background in business. Before attending law school she graduated from Simon Fraser University with an MBA in marketing, and
coming from a long line of entrepreneurs, she ran several businesses after graduating. As Lovig continued to work as an entrepreneur, she found the legal process was something she could do on her own and was the next logical step in her career. “I think that every entrepreneur has a bit of what I term ‘business ADHD’ in terms of needing different projects to keep them interested,” Lovig said of her interest in business and law. “The practice of law is very much like that. I get to work with a variety of clients on a daily basis, acting as a deal-maker and a problem-solver in relation to a diverse range of legal issues. “It’s my job to provide solid legal solutions and support so as to allow my clients the freedom to focus on the varied business at hand.” In addition to practicing law for a career, Lovig is very involved in Kelowna’s running community. She has been running competitively for more than 30 years, and has coached on a volunteer basis for almost 20. She coaches year-round running clinics where the largest have upwards of 80 participants. She loves teaching people that they can run and helps them achieve their goals. She
helps her clinic participants realize their limits are far beyond where they thought them to be and gives them the confidence that they can do anything on a day-to-day basis. Lovig said that is her way of making a difference in her community. She is very passionate about her running career, and believes it is the perfect complement to her profession as a lawyer. “There are so many parallels between running, business and the law,” she noted. “You need to think strategically, you need to work hard, you need to be determined, confident and you have to persevere. It takes immense dedication. “As an example, I just did the Berlin Marathon in Germany, and in my training leading up to that I was running up to 95 miles a week, which meant I was getting up at 4:30 a.m., 4 on many days, just to get my training in before my regular work day. “It’s not easy, but you have a set goal and you do what you have to do to achieve it.” Lovig just returned from Berlin on Tuesday, which was one of the top highlights of her running career. In a race of 50,000 people she finished as the top Canadian woman,
and set a new personal best of two hours and 52 minutes, nearly an Olympic qualifying time. Lovig loves being a part of Kelowna’s running community, not only through racing but also providing people with a supportive, nonintimidating and fully inclusive coaching environment. “It feels great to be standing at the finish line and cheering my participants across the line, and getting to share that achievement and seeing that rush when they cross the line. “There are often tears of joy and being a part of that is simply amazing.” From helping her

Edinburgh Castle, built on a dormant volcano, is Scotland’s top tourist spot.
Visit Edinburgh and you’re sure to find a festival
Patti Nickell
contributor
EDINBURGH, Scotland—In the space of a few blocks, I encountered Napoleon Bonaparte, Darth Vader and the Invisible Man, glasses bobbing up and down in what appeared to be thin air. There was a colourfully garbed Korean dance troupe, a woman carrying a kitchen sink, and “Queen Elizabeth,” crown atop her head, giving all passers-by her queenly wave. But my favourite had to be the dancing hot dog, handing out bottles of ketchup and mustard to giggling children and encouraging them to fire away. I was on the Royal Mile, which links Edinburgh Castle to Holyrood Palace, the official
home of the British monarch in Edinburgh. These performance artists were all participants in the city’s Festival Fringe, the largest arts festival in the world. As entertaining as the Fringe was, it was just part of the reason for visiting Edinburgh in August. This year, for the first time, six of the city’s 12 major festivals were held during the same period (Aug. 7-31.) In addition to the Fringe, visitors could go to the Edinburgh Art Festival, the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the Mela Festival of World Music and Dance, the Military Tattoo, and the granddaddy of them all—the Edinburgh International Festival. The International Festival rose from the ashes of World War II, when Britain’s defiance of Hitler came at a high price. Unbowed but very
bloody, the island set about remaking itself. One such effort was the International Festival, inaugurated in 1947 to enliven and enrich the cultural life of not just Britain, but all of Europe. To say that it succeeded is an understatement. The three-week Festival offers the best in theatre, dance, opera, cabaret and orchestral music. And when I say best, I mean it. Current British superstars Hugh Laurie, Emma Thompson, Jude Law and Hugh Grant were among those who performed at the Festival before achieving stardom, and this year’s headliner was French actress Juliette Binoche in Antigone. Of the performances I saw, the highlight had to be a richly re-imagined production of Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute. The music remained the same, but almost nothing else
did. This wildly inventive version combined animated and live action (the singers were real) in a kaleidoscope of 1920s silent movies, cabaret, Disneyesque imagery (think Fantasia) and Cirque du Soleil-type stage antics. The Fringe began the same year as the International Festival, when eight theatre companies that wanted to perform weren’t invited. They came anyway, and they’ve been coming ever since, with 3,000 performances in venues across the city this year. Many of the performances feature solo artists who stake out a space, but others are world-class offerings. One such was Limbo at the Underbelly’s Circus Hub on the Meadows. Described as a circus-cabaret extravaganza, the

illusions and breathtaking physical feats had me on the edge of my seat. Apparently, they also had Madonna on the edge of hers, as she reportedly saw the show twice.
BOOKS, ART, THE TATTOO
Of newer vintage are the Edinburgh International Book Festival, the world’s largest celebration of the written word, and the Edinburgh Art Festival, the newest festival, initiated in 2004. It is only fitting that Edinburgh, the world’s first UNESCO city of literature, hosts an annual book festival attended by nearly a quarter of a million people, who flock to Charlotte Square Gardens to hear authors discuss their work. It was here that J.K. Rowling gave a public reading of her first Harry Potter book for a group of schoolchildren. The Art Festival is indeed a moveable feast, with exhibits in museums, churches, galleries and public buildings, as well as outdoor spaces such as the Waverly Train Station, site of my favourite piece: A whimsical sculpture resembling a series of bathroom showers. The prospect of attending the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo was one of my primary reasons for wanting to come to the festival. I had seen pictures showing the
pomp and pageantry of the Tattoo set against the backdrop of Edinburgh Castle. I knew it was a demonstration of military musical skill and precision that had morphed into pure theatre—all those kilted bagpipers and drummers from royal regiments throughout Britain. They were all there— the Pipes and Drums of the Highlanders and the Black Watch of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, The Massed Bands of the Royal Air Force and the Queen’s Colour Guard, the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo Highland Dancers—it was all that an Anglophile could have expected. What I didn’t expect was the rest of the evening’s entertainment, which ranged from colourful Chinese Lotus Dragon and Bollywood dance spectacles to a stirring 75th-anniversary observance of the Battle of Britain, culminating in fireworks and the Union Jack flag projected on the exterior of the castle. By the time we linked arms in a rendition of Auld Lang Syne and the Lone Piper appeared on the castle battlement, there wasn’t a dry eye in the place.
OTHER ATTRACTIONS
It’s easy to see how Edinburgh, a city that native son Robert Louis Stevenson described as “a dream in living masonry,” inspired Rowling. The

city spills in layers from what was once an active volcano to underground cellars, and there are more nooks and crannies than one could explore in a lifetime. But here are a few must-sees while in the city. Edinburgh Castle. Perched atop craggy Castle Rock, another extinct volcano, this is Scotland’s No. 1 visitor attraction. Most head directly for the Scottish Crown Jewels and the Stone of Scone, also called the Stone of Destiny. However, don’t miss the ancient banqueting hall and the birthing chamber where Mary, Queen of Scots, gave birth to her son, who later became James I of England, thus uniting the two kingdoms. Holyrood Palace. Speaking of Mary, if you’re fascinated with her dramatic and tragic life, then a visit to her royal palace is a must. Located at one end of the Royal Mile and set in exquisite gardens, the Palace’s 16th century historic rooms are open to the public except
when the royal family is in residence. The most lurid is the oratory, where in 1566 Mary’s private secretary, David Rizzio, was dragged from the table where he was dining with the Queen and was killed by her husband, Lord Darnley, and his cronies. Today, overwrought tourists often claim that they can still see blood on the floor from the 56 stab wounds inflicted on Rizzio. Royal Yacht Britannia. For a more benign royal experience, go aboard the yacht that Queen Elizabeth II said was the only place she could relax and shed her official role. Now permanently berthed at Edinburgh’s Ocean Terminal and open to the public, the yacht took the queen and the royal family more than 1 million miles around the world over a 40-year period.

Maintaining a silly tradition, Hodge I somewhat Podge sheepishly submit my regular CHARLIE predictions for the HODGE upcoming 2015-16 NHL season—a.k.a. The HodgePodge Clip and Laugh NHL Predictions Column. Such predictions tend to be a painful route to public humiliation. But for some sad, sordid psychological reason, I perpetrate this prediction ritual abuse upon myself each year. I am sure there is medication for my disorder but a sad part of me likes to be the brunt of a good joke. It may be due to my past experiences as a journalist, doorto-door salesman, or wanna-be drummer. If nothing else there is clearly a disturbing pattern. I use the term ‘sheepishly’ because part of the tradition of the Hodge Podge Clip and Laugh NHL Predictions is to remind readers to clip out these silly predictions and post them on the beer/wine fridge in the sports room, or somewhere near the TV. That way readers maintain easy access to regularly review the predictions, thereby having a regular hearty chuckle throughout the season . While last year’s predictions provided far more chuckles than I had hoped for, regardless I shall soldier on with predictions again this year for a couple of reasons: • I wish to redeem myself from last year’s abysmal performance • I am a determined fellow and rarely known to quit • I am too stupid to know when to quit • I like a good joke. Speaking of a good joke, the Media Hockey Pool will have come and gone between this column’s creation and its arrival in your hands. That means while you are busy reading this I am likely wringing my hands in glee knowing once
again I will be winning the pool. I generally clean up. In fact I almost feel guilty taking their money year after year. It’s rather like taking candy from a baby, or in the case of the media, beer. I also admit I like to attend the media pool because I rarely have as much fun the rest of the year. The room is filled with chuckles and laughter all evening. There is something about a room full of media hacks, a few beers, and three hours of hockey talk that guarantees an evening of hilarious fun. Like many hockey fans, I expect this to be the year of Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel tickling our hockey imaginations. Likewise, I also think this will be a huge year for others such as Carey Price, John Tavares, and teams like the Anaheim Ducks. However, I believe when all is said and done it will be the ‘crazy eight’ from Washington who will have the biggest grin. This is the year for Alexander Ovechkin and his Washington Capitals to win it all. Ovechkin will win the scoring title and lead the league in goals, hits, game winning goals, and overall dazzle. In the playoffs, he will continue the pace winning the Stanley Cup and the Conn Smyth Trophy as playoff MVP. Regular season final results will see teams finish like this. Metropolitan Division: Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Columbus Blue Jackets, Philadelphia Flyers, Carolina Hurricanes, New Jersey Devils. Phil Kessel will go crazy in Pittsburgh and fill the net with 51 goals. The Rangers will edge out the Islanders for third because the Islanders will feel lost in their new home for the first half of the season. And Tavares will still finish second to Ovechkin in scoring.
Atlantic Division: Tampa Bay Lightning, Detroit Red Wings, Montréal Canadiens, Buffalo Sabres, Ottawa Senators, Florida Panthers, Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs. Jack Eichel will prove to be the real deal invigorating his Buffale Sabres teammates, leading to team to a huge turnaround season. Watch for Buffalo to make more trades during the season including goal. Jude Drouin will strut his stuff finally in Tampa and Price will play hurt a lot this year with the Habs feeling the pressure. Boston goes in the tank. Pacific Division: Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles Kings, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames, Vancouver Canucks, San Jose Sharks, Arizona Coyotes. Anaheim will rule the roost battling through key injuries only to just fall short in the cup final. Edmonton will surge into respect actually led by Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle when back from injury, and Justin Schultz waking up on the blue line. Connor McDavid will be superb in his first year surpassing 70 points. Central Division: St. Louis Blues, Chicago Blackhawks, Dallas Stars, Winnipeg Jets, Nashville Predators, Minnesota Wild, Colorado Avalanche. Dallas and Winnipeg will have very solid seasons. In the playoffs Anaheim, Los Angeles, St. Louis, and Dallas will battle for the Western Conference title while in the Eastern Conference it will be Washington, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and Montreal. The Stanley Cup final will come down to Anaheim meeting Washington in the final, which will go to a gave seven with Washington winning it all, completing Ovechkin’s dream season completed. OK, now post this on the fridge and have fun. By the way, real sporting sorts post their own predictions next to this one. charliehodge333@gmail.com
Okanagan conservation celebrated A special celebration is planned to mark the 25th anniversary of the Central Okanagan Land Trust, a local organization working to protect important natural features and biodiversity in the region. Legacy Lands: 25 Years of COLT Conservation, will involve fine wines and morsels from local celebrated chef Mark Filatow, the opportunity to take home some rare wines, unique artwork, golf or dining certificates and other silent auction prizes. The land trust was formed by the Central Okanagan Foundation with the support of both the City of Kelowna and Regional District of Central Okanagan. Most recently, the land trust was the recipient of an 800-acre piece of property featuring creeks and
wetlands, hilltops and crags in the city’s South Slopes area. That resulted in the land trust leasing the property to the regional district, which created the Johns Family Nature Conservancy Regional Park. “We have many achievements to celebrate over our first quarter century, from conservation of Rose Valley Pond and a portion of Robert Lake to the Johns Family property; from partners such as the City of Kelowna and regional district to the many individuals, families, companies and agencies who have donated to ensure our work can continue,” said Kurt Zander, president of the Central Okanagan Land Trust. “Currently, we are involved with the city in rehabilitating Munson
Pond, and with the Mission Creek Restoration Initiative to restore its natural flows. We are also working behind the scenes to conserve other valuable habitats as identified by members of the community. We’re eager to hear from you with suggestions for future initiatives and are grateful for all donations, large or small, that allow our conservation work to continue.” The Legacy Lands celebration takes place Oct. 17, 7 to 9 p.m., at the Sandhill Wines tasting room, located on Richter Street in Kelowna’s northend. Tickets, $50/ person, are available from COLT board members or call executive director Wayne Wilson at 250-2154209, email info@coltrust.ca. Half the ticket price is eligible for a tax receipt.

ICBC is warning about the potential for winter weather to close in over Thanksgiving. When will you change to winter tires or won’t you bother this year?
Verdict The Smart car has always been a lifestyle choice. Starting at $17,300 there are plenty of subcompact cars with seating for five and much more cargo capacity but this car isn’t about getting the most for the money but getting around with ease. The turning radius is amazing; the driver can make manouevres you would imagine only a cyclist could pull off. It’s really remarkable. Parking is a snap and the smallest spaces are there for the taking. The Smart is available with an optional moon roof, the convertible version, along with the electric model will come sometime in 2016.The rest of the trim packages include the middle Passion trim for $18,800 and the top Prime model for $20,900. To get a car with an automatic, the buyer needs to add $1,400 to each trim and the sport package is $800. This isn’t an inexpensive car but it is a much better Smart in every direction.

LR4 posh and serious By Neil Moore
Land Rover LR4 with HSE Lux package.
Could you lean out the window and see if we’re gonna make it? It was our third attempt at underground parking, and with the Leafs game starting shortly, I was getting a little tense. The Land Rover L4R is more than 74 inches tall, a little higher with the satellite antenna, and I wasn’t going to return it with the roof peeled off. To my question, my colleague responded with a “Hmmm...not sure about this,” so I backed up once again, now prepared to

walk any distance and pay the usual game-night gouging at the next aboveground lot. All full- and mid-size SUVs are tall, but the LR4 makes no attempt to disguise it. I’d even suggest this vehicle embraces it with its square sides, low beltline and enormous windows—a look that doesn’t work for many sport utilities, Land Rover being the exception. Ditto for the large flat hood and custom billet grille that punches through the wind. Indeed, Land Rovers are renowned for their trucky, old-school design, and the LR4 is the boxiest in a lineup that starts with the $41K Discovery Sport, and tops out with the $150K-plus Range Rover ‘Autobiography.’ My tester was the HSE Luxury model, which hits the wallet at $72,990 (not including options and freight), but can be had in base trim from $59,990. I’ve driven plenty of SUVs in this price range, some with more amenities than the LR4—like the power liftgate missing here—but few are purpose-built for the outdoors. Settle into the heated Windsor leather front seats (with power adjust and memory) and you’ll spot an array of off-road settings in front of Land Rover’s signature “rising puck” rotary shifter. Two arrows operate the air suspension. There’s a fourinch rise between “access” and off-road heights, with “Normal” roughly centred between them. You can boost it at speeds up to 40 km/h. The Terrain Response System, with up to five programs (four on mine) works in tandem with the air suspension. “Sand” mode allows more wheelspin, “Mud/Ruts” lifts the suspension and Grass/Gravel/Snow limits slippage and holds back the throttle. Note to self: Check the terrain setting before setting off. I hopped into the LR4, hit the gas to merge into traffic, and was alarmed by the sluggishness of its supercharged V6. Had I forgot to release the parking brake? A few clicks down the road, I realized the ‘snowflake’ icon was lit and restored Normal mode, where the 3.0-litre mill would have a fighting chance against the 5,655 lb curb weight. 340 hp and 332 lb/ft of torque may seem underwhelming for such heft, but this powertrain, which
includes an eight-speed automatic with manual shift, is more than up to the task. Especially in Sport mode where a prod of the pedal delivers a quick reaction and delayed gear changes, along with snarl from the exhaust. Zero to 100 km/h takes about eight seconds. My LR4 came with the standard 4WD system with single speed transfer case and mechanical centre differential with 42:58 front-rear torque split. The Heavy Duty package, for another $1,500, includes two-speed transfer case, active locking center and rear differentials and a fullsize spare tire. Rock Crawl, the fifth Terrain Response setting, is only available with this package. I’m not sure why you’d pay for the full luxo treatment and then beat the heck out of your LR4, but the capability is there. Piloting this ride is made easier, not only from its lofty driving position, but because of the previously mentioned large windows and low beltline for good side and rear visibility. Second-row passengers enjoy loads of head and legroom, and even those exiled to the third row have ample clearance on both counts. And I’m talking full-size adults, not just kids. Padding, however, is scant, and upholstery isn’t up to the same standard as elsewhere in the cabin. Behind the rear seats is 280 litres of cargo space— mostly vertical, and only good for a few bags of groceries. And raising and lowering the 50/50 split bench is a manual two-step maneuver that requires a long reach. For $70K, I’d have expected Land Rover to offer a power option. Nonetheless you get 1,192 litres of room, or drop the second row as well for a generous 2,558 litre maximum and entirely flat cargo floor. I like the split hatch/tailgate (rather than single door), as it requires less clearance to open, and the tailgate serves as a bench for putting on golf shoes—or hiking boots if you’re so inclined. In top trim, my LR4 came with features like refrigerated console box, heated rear seats (as well as front), power tilt/telescopic steering with audio and cruise controls, rearview camera, navigation and side steps—a no-brainer for 9.4 inches of ground clearance.

Kia’s five-door head-turner By Rob Beintema
Kia Rio 2015.
CONTRIBUTED
“Hey, what is that?” a guy in a parking lot stopped to ask me. The Kia badge wasn’t giving the game away, hidden from our profile view. And, let’s admit that, seen from a side angle, most subcompacts look pretty much the same—Ford Fiestas, Hyundai Accents, Toyota Yaris, Honda Fits, whatever. But this Rio 5-Door hatchback did seem to be turning heads wherever I went. We can probably credit the eye-catching Chili Red
exterior lustre, the coupelike sleek roofline, the edgy accent lines and funky big upgraded alloy wheels for that. “VW GTI?” he guessed. Hmm, the wheels were really fooling him. “Nope,” I answered, figuring I’d left him hanging long enough. “Kia Rio”. Which, as usual, led to raised eyebrows and a somewhat surprised reaction. Now, along with the hot colour, we should also credit Peter Schreyer, a Kia-kidnapped designer

who left his Audi chores to champion a new “tiger nose” familial look for the Korean brand, also adding other styling touches to a previously nondescript lineup of wanna-bes. This latest, third generation version of the Kia Rio was introduced for the 2012 model year and, here in North America, it anchors Kia’s collection of vehicles as the entry-level econo car, although in upper trim levels it can approach near-lux levels of sporty refinement. Globally, the Rio offers a variety of smallish gasoline-powered or diesel-powered engine choices but, as is usually the case, our North American versions get the largest engine option, a 1.6-litre GDI four-cylinder motor that makes 138 hp and 123 lb/ft of torque. That workhorse is willing enough to chirp the tires but there’s not really enough oomph to qualify this Kia as a hot hatch, unlike the GTI it was mistaken for. All in all though, the qualities of subcompact size and mass, blended with more than adequate power makes for enough nimble driving satisfaction to please the average driver. The one-choice 1.6-litre four-banger is mated to either the standard six-speed manual transmission or, as tested here, an optional sixspeed automatic, putting power to the road through a front-wheel-drive system. This powertrain has a fuel economy rating of 8.8/6.3L/100km (city/hwy) bolstered in this case by an Active Eco System with Idle Stop & Go. My real-world mix of highway, city and occasional paddle-shifting giddiness averaged out to a more realistic 9L/100km (comb). Although the Kia Rio shares its powertrain with the Hyundai Accent, the two vehicles are more like related cousins rather than close siblings, with distinctive exterior and interior styling cues with Kia priding itself on more of a sport-oriented design theme. The Rio comes in two model choices—four-door sedan or, tested here, as a fivedoor hatchback. The 2015 Kia Rio five-door starts at $14,495, basically outfitted with 15-inch steel wheels, no air conditioning and with the standard manual six-speed. But it also comes fairly well-equipped, even at that entry-level, with six airbags, four-wheel ABS disc brakes with brake assist system (BAS) and
electronic brake distribution (EBD), electronic stability control (ESC), vehicle stability management (VSM), hillstart assist control (HSC), a standard rooftop spoiler, tilt steering with audio controls, a six-way adjustable driver’s seat, power door locks, power windows, power heated side mirrors and with a four-speaker AM/FM/CD/MP3/Satellite stereo system with AUX and USB inputs. The Kia Rio’s content bumps up through nine different LX, EX and SX trim level steps. Our 2015 Rio SX Auto tester, listing for $20,795, sits about eight steps up that trim level ladder, coming complete with a long list that includes automatic projection headlights, foglights and LED daytime running lamps up front and LED taillights in back. Heated seats, a heated steering wheel, a cooling glovebox for drinks, fully automatic climate control, rain sensing windshield and a six-speaker audio upgrade round off the content list. But, wait. The SX trim rating hints at this model’s sport accent so it also includes 17-inch alloy wheels, bigger front brakes, a sport-tuned suspension, shift paddles on the steering wheel, a supervision gauge cluster, alloy pedals and twintipped exhaust. You might not technically go any faster in this same-powered sport version but you might at least look and feel a little quicker in it. The content list goes on beyond expectations in this subcompact with Microsoft’s UVO handsfree communication and infotainment system with rear camera display. And black leather upholstery and appointments offset with metallic trim pieces help accent a cabin that is snug but comfortable for four, occasionally do-able for five. A standard 60/40 rear seat flops forward to maximize cargo capacity from 425 litres to a useful 1,410 litres. I mentioned that this SX model was near the top of the trim ladder. There’s only one step further and that would add a navigation system and power sunroof to the package ($2,200). Our test was done in a 2015 model but this fall’s newest 2016 Kia Rio versions carry over relatively unchanged except for minor tweaks to the front and rear styling treatments. Metroland Media

ENTERTAINMENT: WHAT’S ON
George Thorogood will be making a concert tour stop at Prospera Place next year. CONCERT George Thorogood & The Destroyers Wednesday, April 20 7:30 p.m. Prospera Place Tickets for George Thorogood will go on sale today (Oct. 9). Thorogood’s music career dates back to 1973, when the barely-out-of-his-teens Wilmington guitarist piled his gear into the drummer’s Chevy van to play their very first gig at a University of Delaware dorm. More than four decades and some 15 million albums sold worldwide later, Thorogood and his band are badder than ever. Thorogood and his longtime band— Jeff Simon (drums, percussion), Bill Blough (bass guitar), Jim Suhler (rhythm guitar) and Buddy Leach (saxophone) —will share a romp through many classic songs from the group’s music catalogue— “Who Do You Love,” “I Drink Alone,” “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer,” “Move It On Over”and the infamous “Bad To The Bone.”
“When I was 16, I was going to school and playing Little League but nothing felt comfortable to me,” Thorogood recalls. “The first moment I picked up the guitar, it felt so right that it almost scared me. The fact that I couldn’t sing, play or write a song didn’t matter. I’d learn to do all that soon enough. “But by having a knack for this thing and feeling relaxed doing it, I knew I was halfway home. I love to perform live, and I’m lucky to be able to do it on a level that our music and reputation have taken us to. To this day, I consider my job description to be ‘live rock performer. “Most of all, we’re making a living doing what we love and people love what we’re doing.” Tickets on sale at selectyourtickets.com or call 250-762-5050 CONCERT Blue Rodeo Monday, Jan. 25 8 p.m. Prospera Place Tickets for the Canadian band Blue Rodeo will go on sale Friday, Oct. 16.

As a journalist, she has worked alongside the police community, especially the world of the RCMP, for 20 years. Crime writer, she published Terror in the Downtown Eastside in 2013; the second book of the Trilogy The Cry of West Coast Express will be published in the spring of 2016.
BOOK SIGNING Terreur dans le Downtown Eastside by Jacqueline Landry Sunday, Oct. 18 6 p.m. Centre Culturel Francophone 702 Bernard Ave. Kelowna
The Tourist Company is a music group from Vancouver who came in third in last year’s Peak Performance Project. The group released their debut album in 2013 followed by two EPs in 2014, and are presently back in the studio working on their sophomore album, set to come out later this year. The Tourist Company just released a new single, “Shouldn’t Believe,” which can be seen and heard at youtube.com/ watch?v=cJ2YcTbnsrA.
You’ve probably seen news reports on TV or read articles about Vancouver’s notorious Downtown Eastside, just a stone’s throw away from the tall glass towers of the business district and the cobblestone streets of Gastown, a popular tourist destination. But the Downtown Eastside it has more than its fair share of drug, crime, and prostitution issues. In her debut novel, the first in an upcoming trilogy, Jacqueline Landry takes us by the hand and leads us deep into the bowels of the ghetto, where a serial killer is targeting prostitutes who work the streets. It isn’t long before their bodies start to turn up on wasteland along the tracks that carry commuter trains to and from the city’s outlying

Many bands don’t play that many gigs in their entire career. Why so much? “Because I wanted to get by playing music, and that’s the only way I can think of to do it,” Caplan explained. “It’s either winning the lottery or working your ass off.” CONCERT Good Riddance Sunday, Oct. 18 9 p.m. Doc Willoughbys 353 Bernard Ave. Kelowna Good Riddance is a hardcore punk band from Santa Cruz, Cal., formed back in the early 1990s. The band evolved out of California’s vibrant surfing and skateboarding culture and was influenced by such bands as Black Flag, The Adolescents, TSOL and Bad Religion as well as other bands like Sick Of It All and The Cro Mags. The group’s early years were spent going through line up changes, playing local and regional shows and recording demos as they developed their sound.
Early tours and an initial albums recording called Gidget brought the band initial widespread interest and positive reviews. In 1994, the band hit the studio with producer Ryan Greene to record their first full length album For God And Country, which was released in early 1995. Over the next decade, Good Riddance went on to release seven albums and an EP while crisscrossing the globe dozens of times on tour. ***

characters: A sniper who has never allowed himself to think of his targets as human, an intelligence officer who has never contemplated killing is now in the centre of a plot to kill and a legendary Mujahideen warrior who thought he had put the war behind him finds himself in the middle of the battle zone. All three men from different worlds find themselves intersecting in the murky world and fluid morality of modern warfare. Joining Gross in the cast is Rossif Sutherland, son of Donald and half-brother of Kiefer. The character of Peter Pan has been made into numerous plays, TV shows and movies since J.M. Barrie wrote the character into his 1902 novel The Little White Bird. In 1904, he wrote the play called Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up and later adapted the play into the novel Peter and Wendy, published in 1911.

Goss continues to create his own movie career
Paul Gross (centre) writes, directs and stars in the Canadian war film Hyena Road.
Opening this weekend is Pan, but while it uses characters from Barrie’s original works, it is a new story serving as a prequel. It is an origin story depicting Peter Pan as a 12-year-old orphan (newcomer Levi Miller) who is whisked away to the fantastical world of Neverland. There he must band together with James Hook (Garret Hedlund) and Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara) to save Neverland from the ruthless pirate Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman). Expect stunning special effects and an over-the-top performance from
Jackman as Blackbeard. Academy Awardwinning director Robert Zemeckis has been thrilling audiences with movies like Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump and Cast Away. His latest is The Walk, and it takes thrills to literally new heights as he tells the story of Philippe Petit and his illegal 1974 high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre. Petit is portrayed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Looper) and while the scenes of the walk between the towers will
obviously be enhanced by special effects, GordonLevitt actually learned to walk on the wire himself from the real-life Petit. The end result is a movie that is already getting great critical reviews and, with the help of 3D, Zemeckis has succeeded in creating a realistic and thrilling experience for the moviegoer. So much so that it is recommended that you see it in 2D if you suffer from vertigo. Last but definitely not least is the documentary He Named Me Malala. It is the inspirational story of Malala Yousafzai, the 15-year-old Pakistan

Showtime Info for October 9 - October 15, 2015
Grant application workshop meant to assist local arts and culture groups The City of Kelowna’s annual Arts and Culture grant information workshops will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 13, and Wednesday, Oct. 14. Local, incorporated, nonprofit organizations interested in applying for 2016 Arts and Culture Operating or Project grants are invited to attend one of the free workshops. “The city’s grant programs recognize and support the important work that nonprofit organizations do in the community,” said Sandra Kochan, Cty of Kelowna cultural services manager. “The cultural grants sustain organizations and provide seed money for new projects; sometimes even a small grant can make a big difference.” For the last several years, the
Ponderosa Spinners, Weavers and Fibre Artists Guild has benefited from the information workshops and has been successful in their application for an operating grant. The grant supports the organization with a variety of initiatives. “Every year, more than 200 grade three students learn about spinning and weaving through our education program. This program is so popular with the teachers they actually apply even before we put our call out,” said Chris MacKenzie, Ponderosa Spinners, Weavers and Fibre Artists Guild. “The grant has also assisted us in our participation in many other events around the city, like Heritage Society Family Picnic, Arts on the Avenue, as well as Culture Days.”
While the workshops are free, registration is required. Interested attendees can register by calling 250-469-8800. • Tuesday, Oct. 13, from 10 a.m. to noon (registration code 145872) • Tuesday, Oct. 13, from 3 to 5 p.m. (registration code 145873) • Wednesday, Oct. 14, from 10 a.m. to noon (registration code 145874) Workshops will be held at the Black Box Theatre, 1375 Water St. (entrance towards the back of the Kelowna Community Theatre). Guidelines and applications will be available online Oct. 19 at kelowna.ca/culture. Applications will be accepted until Dec. 4, 3 p.m. Grant funding will be confirmed for successful applicants in February 2016.

entertainment_____________________________________________________________ EVENTS FROM B7 provoke brutal repression by the occupying Romans, Judas must make his fateful choice between faith and betrayal. Jesus Christ Superstar was originally released as a rock album in 1970; it reached No. 1 on the Billboard chart in 1971 and was soon turned into a musical, which debuted on Broadway later that year. As compelling today as it was at its inception over 40 years ago, Jesus Christ Superstar features some of musical theatre’s most legendary songs from I Don’t Know How
to Love Him, Everything’s Alright, Gethsemane and Superstar. “It’s timeless and for our time,” said Randy Leslie, artistic managing director. “That’s why we are setting it in modern times, capturing the social justice aspects of Christ’s teachings that are still relevant today. “News footage from the Vancouver riots in 2011, the use of cell phones, modern technology, hip hop/ zumba and much more will help stylize our musical journey.” This sensational new production features Mac Mackay as Jesus and
Celeste Catena as Mary Magdalene. Casey Easton, who wowed audiences as Fagin in Oliver, plays Judas Iscariot. Don Plant, well remembered for his performance in August: Osage County plays Pontius Pilate. King Herod is portrayed by KAS favourite Brandon Shalansky. Tiernan Lafleur Johnson will play the disciple Simon and Cory de Roos, Peter. “This is a musical we all know and love and I’m delighted we’re finally going to be presenting it. This production is going to be an enormous event and
is definitely something you’ll want to see. We have already added an extra performance on November 1, 2015,” said Nathan Flavel, executive producer. THEATRE Bellydancing fundraiser Saturday, Oct. 17 7:30 p.m. Mary Irwin Theatre at the Rotary Centre for the Arts 421 Cawston Ave. Kelowna More than 30 bellydancers from across the Okanagan will gather in Kelowna to present this unique show. The group will
impersonate celebrities sucy as Michael Jackson, Lady Gaga, Tina Turner, Madonna, Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Cleopatra doing their best bellydance. This is a fun show for all ages, organized by a partnership between Yonisha Rhythms, of Kelowna, and Get Bent Bellydancing, from Penticton. The fundraiser is intended to continue to create an opportunity for performers to showcase their talent, and raise awareness of this ancient art. For more information you can visit the Yonisha
Rhythms website yonisha. com/events. Miriam Cunha is the director of Yonisha Rhythms, a dance instructor of many styles of dance, and currently a computer science student at Okanagan College. Wendy Goudie is dedicated to “elevating bellydance as a respected and respectful art form” as the founder of BC BellyFest and Get Bent Bellydancing, Western Canada’s largest bellydance school located in Penticton CONCERT Musical tribute to Stevie Nicks, Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger Sunday, Oct. 18 Kelowna Community Theatre 1375 Water St. Ticket for this classic rock fantasy concert went on sale Thursday. Singer Julie C. Myers brings the “First Lady of Rock,” Fleetwood Mac lead singer Stevie Nicks to vivid life in this unique concert experience which will also feature tributes to ‘70s bad boys Mick Jagger (played by Johnny Moroko) and Rod Stewart (Martin D. Andrew). CONCERT Shane Koyczan Thursday, Oct. 22 Kelowna Community Theatre 1375 Water St. Silence Is A Song I Know All The Words To is another chapter in the continuing story of artist, poet and author Shane Koyczan. After a successful cross-
Canada tour this year, Koyczan will be making a stop in Kelowna as part of a followup swing around B.C. this fall. Koyczan was also on tour as part of the David Suzuki Foundation’s Blue Dot Tour, sharing the stage with the likes of David Suzuki, Neil Young, Feist, Margaret Atwood, Raine Maida, Chantal Kreviazuk, Joel Plaskett, Robert Bateman and Stephen Lewis. He wrote the poem “Shoulders” specifically for that tour. “When I first heard Shane perform ‘Shoulders’ it brought tears to my eyes,” said David Suzuki. CONCERT Murray McLauchlan Friday, Oct. 23 7:30 p.m. Kelowna Community Theatre 1375 Water St. Canadian troubador Murray McLauchlan’s musical career spans 40 years, during which he has recorded 18 albums and received 11 Junos. McLauchlan has also been a painter, an author, an actor and a radio talk show host, sporting a biography of accomplishment befitting someone who has been appointed to The Order of Canada. “As a songwriter I know that it’s not enough to sit in your kitchen and write. Your songs need to be heard,” McLauchlan said. Tickets available online at Select Your Tickets, or call 250-7625050.
