LGBTQ activist makes Kelowna home Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Chevi Rabbit is a striking new addition to the UBC Okanagan campus. Dark bob, perfect makeup and impressive posture make the 27-year-old a stand-out. That and the fact he is “gender fluid” in a city that is only starting to appreciate its LGBTQ community. Rabbit, who moved to the Okanagan in September, currently identifies himself as a gay male, although his appearance is distinctly feminine. One day he hopes to make the transition to be a woman because, in his words, he can’t see himself ever being an old man. “That’s why I like the term gender fluid
Homophobic harassment at Alberta university leads hate crime victim to relocate to the Okanagan. best… because I think you could be straight and gender fluid, or gay and gender fluid. It just means that you don’t get stuck to any gender norms,” he said. Discussing gender appears to be easy and uncomplicated for Rabbit, who through personal strife became a spokesperson for Alberta’s trans community—something he sees himself doing in Kelowna one day, too, if his voice is wanted. “I was gay bashed,” he said. “I used to
not be able to say it … I was in therapy for almost a year and on different medications for anxiety, but now I’m off and I can talk about it.” Rabbit was a University of Alberta student in 2012, when he says he was targeted in an attack near his campus dorm. “They were yelling at me, cat-calling me, I think, and I turned around and said, ‘thank you,”’ he said, echoing words laid out in countless Albertan news stories. That’s when Rabbit thinks the three men who were harassing him realized he wasn’t a woman. They shouted some homophobic slurs at him and then one assaulted him.

news _____________________________________________________________________ WEST KELOWNA Kelowna council puts micro-suites in their place City council looks at Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
Micro-suites have found a place in Kelowna—in the city’s five town centres and at UBCO. With three developments already approved and now under construction, city council has decided to limit where the ultra-compact living spaces can be built in Kelowna. “Council recognized that residents of units that small will likely not have vehicles and would be best served by (being located close to) transit,” said city planner Ryan Smith. He said putting microsuites—which have raised concern by some
councillors because, unlike other forms of residential development, they do not generate development cost charges—in area where there is transit, services already exist and there is established development which makes sense because of the size of the units. Development cost charges are paid by developers to the city to help finance city infrastructure associated with their developments, such as roads, drainage, sewers and street lighting. Under provincial law, micro-suites are exempt from DCCs. According to the city’s new bylaw, micro-suites cannot exceed 29-squaremetres, or about
300-square-feet. Smith said, according to his research, the only other municipality that is considering regulating the development of microsuites is Surrey and it has yet to act. He added that while the lack of DCC revenue from micro-suites has been an issue, it was not a determining factor in the decision to limit them to the downtown, Rutland centre, Orchard Park, South Pandosy, Capri Centre and UBCO areas. The DCC issue, he said, will be looked at when the city reviews its DCC plan in 2017. “A broad mix of housing types in any community is a good thing,” said Smith,
adding with Kelowna’s low vacancy rate there is likely to be a place for them in the local housing market. But he doesn’t envision not see them becoming a large part of the Kelowna housing mix. Prior to ruling they could only be built in the city’s five town centre areas and the area around the UBCO campus, council approved three micro-suite developments in the city—one at Ethel Street and Glenwood Avenue, one near UBCO and one on Dickson Avenue, near the Landmark office towers. The three developments are slated to have a total of 300 units.
its parks master plan Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com
An update to the 2010 West Kelowna Parks Master Plan was provided to West Kelowna council on Tuesday. The update found that baseball leagues have increased their enrolment in the past five years, while soccer, softball, fastball and football have all remained consistent. It also showed the city’s fields are being well used, and that any increased use of them during business hours would be difficult. During the busiest months of May and June, at peak times in the day, West Kelowna’s class ‘A’ soccer and football fields were being used 60 per cent of the time, while the ‘B’ and ‘C’ class fields were used an average of 29 per cent of the time. Baseball and softball fields had higher rates of use, as the largest field was used
83 per cent of the time and the others were used at a rate of 65 per cent. A three-week public survey was also completed in September, and 79 per cent of participants found upgrading trails and building new ones had a good effect or better. As well, 42 per cent said the same for building a spray park at Westbank Centre Park, and only 20 per cent believed the creation of the Rosewood Sports Field had a good or better impact. The public also weighed in on projects that have yet to be completed, displaying great interest in expanding trails. Of respondents, 81 per cent were in favour of the continued expansion of multi-use trails in the vicinity of Okanagan Lake, 69 per cent approved developing new off-road trails, 67 per cent support continued improvement of beach access along the lake, and 53 per cent wanted an outdoor swimming pool.
COLD WEATHER DRIVING
It’s time to put on your winter tires Sawyer Klassen As winter approaches, so does the need for winter tires. While all-season tires are popular in Canada, particularly B.C. as yearround driving solutions, Kal Tire senior zone manager Tim Hildebrand said they just aren’t as safe as winter tires. “Winter tires are the way to go,” he explained. “The design and tread compounds in winter tires allow them to be flexible in colder climates. All season tires harden at 7 C or lower, which can cause you to lose traction when it’s colder.” For those people who will be switching out their summer tires for winter ones in the coming weeks, Hildebrand said it’s important to check how much tread is left on

them. “Winter tires are designed to channel water and snow outside the tire,” he described. “When there is low
tread there isn’t enough of a void to channel [water and snow] outside and you can start hydroplaning.” Winter tires should
have at least 3.5 mm of tread left on them, or the equivalent of stacking four dimes on top of each other. Hildebrand noted it’s important to check
at the lowest part of the tread, not the highest or the average. Hildebrand said Oct. 1 as a good time to generally switch to
winter tires, especially if you have plans to take mountain passes, such as the Coquihalla. The Coquihalla, like other mountain highways, requires tires that have a snow flake emblem on them as a mark of winter quality from Oct. 1 through the end of March. The snowflake emblem is found on all winter tires, and a few specific all-season tires. He said there is a wellknown concern about switching to winter tires too early in the year as they will be worn out if there isn’t snow, but that largely is no longer the case. He explained the biggest tread killer is heat, and in the cooler temperatures of fall the impact the heat will have on winter tires is negligible, meaning it’s fine to put them on now.
Get involved in your community The Westside Health Network Society will host a workshop Oct. 22 geared towards seniors and their involvement with the community. The society is looking for input from local seniors at an interactive presentation that will include complimentary light food and beverages. The workshop will take place from 10 a.m. to noon at the Westbank Lions Hall, 2466 Main St. The guest speakers will include Drs. Will Reimer and Charlotte Jones. Anyone interested in attending is asked to respond either by phone, 250-768-3305, or email, whns@telus.net, by Oct. 16. This seniors’ forum is also being supported by the Central Okanagan Foundation.

Recycling old tires curbs mosquito breeding habitat
Old, unused tires stacked up around your property can be the source of some prime mosquito breeding habitat. But again this fall, there will be an opportunity to gather up those old tires and recycle them for free. The Regional District of Central Okanagan and its mosquito control program contractor, BWP Consulting, are providing four passenger tire drop-off opportunities in Kelowna and Lake Country. Any old passenger vehicle tires or transport tractor-trailer tires (no agricultural tires), with or without rims, can be dropped off for recycling on the following dates and locations between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.: Saturday, Oct. 24 • Okanagan College Parking Lot #17, 1000 KLO Rd., Kelowna • North Glenmore Elementary School, 125 Snowsell St. North, Kelowna
Sunday, Oct. 25 • Swalwell Park, 10070 Bottom Wood Lake Rd., Lake Country • Casorso Elementary School, 3675 Casorso Rd., Kelowna Residents in the City of Kelowna, District of Lake Country or Central Okanagan East or Central Okangaan West Electoral Areas of the Regional District that are unable to attend the scheduled events may arrange for a pick-up of their unwanted tires. Only residents in those areas should contact BWP Consulting at 1-866679-TIRE (8473) or email bwp@shaw.ca before Oct. 20 to schedule a pick-up time. “Old tires sitting around a property can create the perfect breeding ground for mosquito larvae, with just a small amount of water collected inside,” said regional district communications officer Bruce Smith. “By recycling unwanted

Middle East crisis awaits our next PM As the Middle East continues to unravel, yet again, questions facing our next prime minister about international affairs are likely to overshadow all those promises about jobs, reduction of taxes for the disappearing middle class and improvements of services. The mass immigration of Syrians looking to escape the civil war in their country coupled with the involvement of Russia on a military front and the pending Iran nuclear deal lifting economic sanctions and frozen bank accounts for that country are all serving to breed further disruption to that part of the world. Much like the U.S. Congress, where negotiation and compromise are seen as signs of weakness by the ultraConservative wing of the Republican Party thereby effectively halting any progress for a government initiative, the same philosophy rings true, as it always has, in the Middle East for the past 40 years. Former prime minister Jean Chretien literally saved Canadian military lives when he opted not to join former US president George W. Bush and his military invasion of Iraq. To his credit, Chretien saw the massive downside to direct intervention in Iraq, and we’ve seen since how that intervention has led to the disintegration of Middle East countries by essentially expanding what has always been a tribal conflict within the Middle East Muslim world that has more to do with power and influence, less about individual rights or the spirit of democracy. Whether or not to be further involved than our role has been in Afghanistan will be a hard question for the next PM to address. With missiles flying in every direction, it’s likely one is going to eventually land where it shouldn’t. How will our next prime minister deal with the conflict escalating further? We will have to wait and see.

CAPITAL news AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER
Pieces in place for vibrant election night It’s time to turn up the heat in the City federal election Confidential campaign as the race to form the next ALISTAIR government comes WATERS down to the wire. At least that’s what the national party leaders are doing based on their latest round of last-minute ads and campaign strategies. With less than a week to go in a close race that has seen the Conservatives, Liberals and NDP all jockey for top spot at some point since the writ was dropped back in August, it’s a given the leaders will now turn to every trick they have in order to win support. Conservative leader Stephen Harper, in a new form of campaign countdown, is taking to the radio airwaves daily to have a friendly little chat with Canadians and remind them he wants their support. In a-proof-of-life type move, he also reminds them what day it is and how many days are left in the campaign. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau continues to deflect Harper’s “he’s-just-not-ready” mantra by saying what he’s not ready for is another Harper-led government. And the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair, whose party once led the polls in this campaign, is also preaching change— and inviting voters to come along for the ride. He says he’s ready if Canadians are. On the face of it, it all seems quite civil. But dig a little deeper and it gets dirtier. After all, civility doesn’t win elections, at least not at the national level. The “popular” vote has become just that—a measure of popularity, particularly in the party leaders. It’s not quite the style-over-substance race we have seen to the south of us in the U.S. for many years—but it’s close. Lying about other party leaders’ positions on issues, misrepresenting what they would do, personal attacks— it’s how the game of politics is played now. Politics has been called a dirty game and in Canada,

we are seeing it get grimier with each election. Locally, however, it’s a different matter. With the rare exception of a few minor outbursts at the odd public meeting here and there, the local campaigns have been much more respectful affairs with the candidates talking about issues rather than each other. And the strong campaigns are a direct result of having, for the first time in a long time, a full slate of strong candidates. (With the exception of the Green Party in Kelowna-Lake Country where, despite nominating a candidate, the party never actually had one willing to campaign. Gary Adams was already planning to quit and support the Liberal in the race even as the votes for his own nomination were being counted.) While history is on the side of the Conservatives in both Kelowna-Lake Country and Central OkanaganSimilkamen-Nicola, unlike the last election where their challengers were not as strong, Tories Ron Cannan (Kelowna-Lake Country) and Dan Albas (CentralOkanagan-Similkameen-Nicola) can’t take anything for granted this time around. An upset is unlikely, but not impossible. They know it and so do their challengers, Liberal Stephen Fuhr and the NDP’s Norah Bowman in Kelowna-Lake Country and Liberal Karley Scott, the NDP’s Angelique Wood and Green Robert Mellalieu in Central-OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola. But the key to any election is the vote. And this time round, if advance poll numbers across the province are any indication, B.C. wants to be heard. On the weekend, voters at advance polls in Vancouver and West Kelowna [see letter page A7] stood in line for several hours to cast their ballots—something unheard of at advance polls in previous elections. So, next Monday, make your voice heard. Vote. Alistair Waters is the assistant editor of the Capital News. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

FEDERAL ELECTION
Four-hour advanced voting lineup sends people home without casting their ballot To the editor: I went to the Lions Community Centre in Westbank for advanced voting today [Oct. 9]. I waited in line for over two hours. During that time an elderly lady fainted (while waiting in line) and paramedics had to be called and a young couple with a seven-week old baby were standing in line just ahead of me. They had to vote today because he was leaving to go out of town for work that night. I am 61 years old. I have IBS and am waiting for knee replacement surgery. Many people were complaining about the ridiculous wait time. One of the officials came out and told the people waiting outside that no one was making them wait in line. That they
were free to go and come back another day. After I had been waiting for two hours another official came out and said it would probably be another two hours before it was our turn to vote and told us it was taking approximately five minutes per person to cast their vote. There were three different polling stations and the lines for stations 608 and 609 had less people in them and were moving somewhat quicker but the line (which I was in) for station 609 was barely moving. In the two-hour period I was there, we moved about 30 feet. I planned to vote today, but I couldn’t wait any longer. I ripped up my voter registration card, threw it on the floor, and will not be
voting in this election. Other people I was talking to were leaving also, and some were not planning to come back another time to vote. The government complains about how bad the voting turnout is in Canada. Well it is no wonder. It is an archaic, time consuming process and until we catch up with technology and the younger generations can vote on their phone and the elderly do not have to stand in line for four hours, I predict that there will be less and less people voting. Is it like this all across Canada or only in B.C.?

VOLUNTEER APPRECIATION
Volunteering at Kelowna General Hospital not what it used to be, according to writer To the editor: I don’t believe I’m exaggerating when I say that Kelowna General Hospital and its staff is one of the top facilities in all of North America. I remember about 18 years ago KGH had what was recognized as one of the best, if not the best volunteer organizations in Kelowna and perhaps further afield. It was then that I joined the KGH Volunteer Team. I was proud to be accepted by a first class organization, with first class training, supervision, and one where I felt truly appreciated. A dress code separated the
volunteers from other staff and the general public. Regular meetings were held to keep everyone up to date and cognizant of changes in treatment areas, rules, and regulations, etc. The volunteer department was run in a very professional manner. I was told at that time, approximately 1,500 names were on the KGH list of volunteers and approximately another 1,000 in community care centres in Kelowna, West Kelowna and areas. I don’t know what the numbers are today, but I do know the the volunteer organization
CONSUMER REVOLT
Stop getting fleeced at gas station ‘convenience store’ To the editor: Regarding gas prices. Over the summer Okanagan residents have paid as much as 30 cents per litre, or approximately $1.50 per gallon, more than in other towns or cities across Canada. Why? The reason the oil companies do this is because they can. What can you do?
You have to buy gas at a gas station. Point taken—I get it. But you don’t have to buy anything else— no pop, cigarettes, candy, juice or any other high-priced so-called convenience store products. In short, fight back economically. If you act like a sheep you will certainly be fleeced. N. Sherwin, Kelowna
HIGH GAS PRICES
Apologize, don’t explain To the editor: Yes our so called leaders and representatives need to hear from more of us in regards to the price gouging we are seeing at the gas pumps here in Kelowna. We don’t need another nonsense BS explanation from some so-called expert thinking that we are a bunch of idiots that just fell off the turnip truck and will believe anything. What we need and want is the person or persons responsible to apologize and admit that we have been gouged and wronged.
778-484-2688
You have been and still are, stealing from us. It is wrong and it needs to stop. If any of you so-called leaders and representatives out there are reading this— do your job! Do some representing! Do some leading! Don’t take some googli wash of an explanation or excuse and relay it back to us. Everyone in Kelowna is pissed off. Kelowna is waiting for some answers, action and an apology. Oh yea, and lower gas prices! Dan Comeau, Kelowna
of KGH today has dropped significantly. Hypocrisy abounds. Turnover of volunteers approaches 90 per cent and the organization as I knew it has all but disappeared. Once a year, volunteers are ‘honoured’ at a tea and recognition given to those with a number of years experience. The rest of the time, appreciation is received from staff, patients and the public. Sadly, the appreciation ends there as volunteer supervisors treat the volunteers almost as ‘low life.’ That is not an exaggeration and can be attested to by many current volunteers. It seems the administration look to education and perhaps degrees, ignoring completely people skills to obtain volunteer supervisors. A severe case of trying to put square pegs in round holes. Numerous volunteers with as many as 25 years and more have terminated because of the above. Honesty among the volunteer supervisors is a lost attribute. Jeff Johnson, Kelowna

Back Pain Effectively Treated At Kelowna Clinic One third of the population suffers from chronic back pain, which impacts everything from quality of life to relationships and careers. Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat? First, each painful episode creates inflammation and scar tissue. Scar tissue has only 70% the strength of normal tissue, making it prone to re-injury. Scar tissue is not flexible, so with every movement comes more inflammation and scar tissue, leading to recurrences of back pain. Second, scar tissue alters the functioning of surrounding joints, reducing the nutrition getting to the joints (a major contributor to disc degeneration and joint arthritis).
to live with it. I want you to know that there is hope, that there is a highly successful, evidence-based treatment for many types of chronic pain. It is being used increasingly by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize their patients’ conditions and create longer lasting results and it has been used as an adjunct in my office for the past five years with success rates of up to 91%. This treatment is called Shockwave therapy (or ESWT) and while it was initially developed to break up kidney stones, it has been used for the past 20 years to effectively break up scar tissue, restore the function of the muscle and promote new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. It is effective on many conditions including (but not limited to) back, foot, and arm pain. Results are often experienced within a few visits; treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

good thing, says UBC Okanagan Assoc. Prof. Zach Walsh. “Our study shows that more than 80 per cent of medicinal cannabis users reported substituting cannabis for prescription drugs including opiate pain killers,” says Walsh, who’s the primary investigator of the Cannabis Access for Medical Purposes Survey (CAMPS), the largest Canadian survey of medical cannabis patients to date. “This is consistent with recent findings from the US that indicates medical cannabis use had a role in a nearly 25 per cent reduction in opioid overdose deaths—which is a really big deal given the crisis Canada faces with prescription opioid use,” says Walsh, noting Canadians are amongst the highest users of opiate-based drugs.
UBC Okanagan Assoc. Prof. Zach Walsh says new research indicates more people are substituting cannabis for prescription drugs. The study also found that 51 per cent of the 473 respondents report substituting cannabis for alcohol, and 33 per cent suggest they use cannabis instead of illicit substances like cocaine and crystal meth. The CAMPS study,
which provided data on cannabis substitution, was supported with a grant from UBC Okanagan’s Institute for Healthy Living and Chronic Disease Prevention. Walsh, who teaches psychology with the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences, worked with the University of Victoria’s Philippe Lucas, a Research Scholar with the Centre for Addictions Research of B.C. “While cannabis use can certainly be problematic for some individuals, these findings highlight the potential of cannabis to be an ‘exit drug’ to addiction rather than a gateway drug,” says Lucas, VP of Patient Research and Services for Tilray, and the lead author of the publication. “Used properly, cannabis can substitute for potentially more harmful substances like alcohol, prescription

drugs, and illicit substances, and therefore reduce the public health and safety impacts of those substances on individuals and on society as a whole.” Legal access to cannabis might affect the broader social costs related to the use of both legal and illicit psychoactive substances, says Walsh. That’s why a comprehensive analysis of the consequences of cannabis use must recognize potential effects on the use of other psychoactive substances such as prescription drugs, alcohol, and illicit substances. “We need to compare the risks and benefits of using other substances, such as opiates or alcohol, to the risks and benefits of cannabis use to estimate the real public health consequences of cannabis use,” says Walsh. “Looking at cannabis use in isolation paints an incomplete picture.” More importantly, says Walsh, with increased recognition of the legitimate therapeutic use of cannabis, it’s time to re-examine Canada’s laws and openly discuss the potential costs and benefits of creating legal access to cannabis outside of the medical system. “If you want to make informed choices about pain control, I think use of cannabis is a right that every Canadian should have,” says Walsh. “It’s been proven to be much less harmful and addictive than opiates or substances like alcohol.” The research paper was recently published in the journal Drug and Alcohol Review.

HOW CAN YOU NOT AFFORD TO DRIVE A TOYOTA?
Optimism for vibrant LGBTQ community Students nearby ran to his aid, and the men got in their car and drove away. The Hate Crimes Unit of the Edmonton Police Service investigated the attack, but after a year nothing came of it. What has happened since the attack, said Rabbit, was an open conversation about homophobia and forced new view of the world. Although he grew up in Ponoka County, Alta, a small-town near the Montana First Nation, his home reserve, his sexual orientation was never an issue. His mother, he said, went about ensuring that anyone who ever had any negativity didn’t express it to him, so he grew up blissfully unaware of any prejudice. When he was attacked, the wool was ripped from his eyes, and he became an activist. “I found my voice,” he said. In August 2012, Rabbit was joined by 200 others for the first Hate to Hope march, an event focused on ending bullying, hate crimes and homophobia. The march started in the neighbourhood he was attacked and ended with a rally at the Alberta legislature. It’s continued every year since its inception in 2014 Alberta Justice Minister Jonathan Denis presented Rabbit with the 2014 Hate Crime Awareness Youth Award, from the Alberta Hate Crime Committee. Now Rabbit wants to bring the essence of that walk to Kelowna, while he completes his undergrad with a focus on Aboriginal studies. “I feel while I’m here I can bring the momentum gained in Alberta and help build a (vibrant) LGBTQ community,” he said. He’s just figuring out where to start, but he hopes that his presence will add something to the community he’s already found to be welcoming. Although he missed it by a month, the Okanagan Pride Society started to turn its focus to trans inclusivity with a trans march, that gathered a surprising number of participants. The Okanagan Pride Society held its first Trans Pride March and also appointed a director for transgender community development. “For many years the rights of the transgender community have largely been ignored with most of the focus and advocacy being for gay and lesbian equality,” Okanagan Pride president Wilbur Turner stated in a news release. “It is time for us all to come together and create visibility and to provide education and awareness around transgender equality, rights and freedoms. “While there are protections in the law against discrimination, unfortunately for the trans community it has little effect.”

Kelowna lawyer awarded for business contribution Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com
Kelowna lawyer Theresa Arsenault has been named Business Leader of the Year for 2015 by the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce. The award recognizes and celebrates Arsenault’s outstanding contribution to the Kelowna business community. Arsenault has been practicing business and estate planning law as a partner with Pushor Mitchell LLP for the past 30 years. She is a leader in her firm, having served 18 years on the management committee, four of them

as managing partner. She developed a very successful practice, with her many valued clients relying on her expertise in commercial transactions, real estate developments; including First Nations lands, trusts and estate planning. She acts as a mentor
to lawyers within her firm and to other lawyers in the community. Arsenault is a leader in her profession as well, presenting at continuing legal education seminars on First Nations land development, real estate matters, and estate planning topics. She serves as a practice advisor to lawyers in the province, and was awarded the designation Queens Counsel in 2009 in recognition of her outstanding contributions to her profession. Arsenault will receive her Business Leader of the Year award at the Delta Grand Okanagan Resort
Honoured to be a Finalist in the category of
Marketer of The Year Award
Best wishes to all the Finalists!
on Wednesday, Oct. 21. Recently, the Kelowna Capital News published a feature article about Arsenault as part of the Women To Watch business series. In the article Arsenault talked about her life and career in legal litigation. She started her law career in litigation, but quickly moved into business and estate planning law as she found litigation did not suit her personality as she wanted to help people reach deals, not handle the fallout of ones that fell through. The transition to business and estate management law proved to be a great decision for Arsenault, as she loves learning and helping people—things she gets to do with regularity in her job. In addition to serving her clients, Arsenault’s current role has her mentoring the junior lawyers and new staff at the firm—something she really enjoys to do. “It feels great to see people succeed,” she described. “I don’t take credit for people succeeding, people succeed because they have the skills to succeed, and if I can sort of help them along, great. “It is a great feeling to help other people, it’s one of the most rewarding things people can feel.”
Arsenault also talked about how her career and expertise in law have enabled her to serve the community in many other ways outside the courtroom. During her time in Kelowna, she has been a vice-president of the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce and spent six years on University of British Columbia’s Board of Governors, including one year as board chair. Arsenault recalled it was during her time with the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce that she first became involved with UBC. “I had the chance to lead the campaign to bring degrees to Kelowna,” she explained. “Back in the 1980s, there were just two-year programs at Okanagan College. I helped lead the Chamber in the Getting There by Degrees program, which lobbied the provincial government into making Okanagan College a four-year institution. “That was back in the day when Okanagan College became a four year institution, then became Okanagan University College, and in 2005 was taken over by UBC to become one of UBC’s campuses, with Okanagan College remaining as a freestanding institution. “So it was a really cool

opportunity to get to help the community create more access to higher education because the effect has been amazing on the valley.” Arsenault is still involved with UBCO as co-chair of the UBC External Community Advisory Committee. While Arsenault has been instrumental in improving the postsecondary education opportunities in the Okanagan, she has also seen outstanding success as a lawyer. In 2009, she was award Queen’s Counsel, a prestigious achievement for her time practicing law. With more than three decades of experience and a love for helping others, Arsenault offered advice for people just starting their careers. “The first thing is to know your area, you need to have some substantive knowledge of what you’re going to be working in,” she noted. “The second one is to not be afraid of sharing that knowledge with people, because only good can come from sharing that knowledge. “And build relationships, especially when you’re in a service industry like I am, people like to deal with people they like. “Building relationships is really important,
because you are helping people and you can only help them if they trust you and come to you for assistance and follow your advice. “It’s not just about make a quick buck and move on, because the growth of any practice and business depends on referrals from satisfied clients and customers.” She also had some words of advice for women who are beginning leadership roles. “Don’t be afraid to take a leadership role, the community needs leaders,” Arsenault explained. “It’s not about getting credit, it’s about getting work done and about making a difference and making the community the way you want it to be, and I think anyone who wants to make a difference can. “Secondly, people need to be careful about balance, and not just paying lip service to balance but doing things like looking after themselves. Get exercise, have quiet time.

When choosing a contractor for a blow out, price should not be your determining factor. An incorrectly performed blow out can result in expensive repairs in the spring. Choose a contractor who is established in your area; they will be around in the spring if you have problems. Most reputable contractors will fix any problems caused during the blow out in the spring under warranty.

Art donation commemorates historic agreement A special unveiling ceremony took place last week at Kelowna General Hospital as three paintings by local Indigenous artists of the Syilx Nation were presented on behalf of the Okanagan Nation Alliance (ONA).
The paintings, commissioned by the ONA to commemorate a long standing effort of the ONA and Interior Health to foster a positive health partnership, will be displayed at the hospitals in Kelowna, Penticton and Vernon.
The artists painted three beautiful and different works, representing the traditional and modern Syilx experience in the Okanagan territory. KGH will receive the painting titled Piqa?— Digging Stick by artist
Sheldon Pierre Louis, which will be displayed in the main lobby of the Centennial building. The historic health partnership was signed between the ONA, the Okanagan Tribal Council and IH on June 13, 2012. The Letter of Under-

Through continued collaboration, ONA and IH leaders are making strides towards reducing barriers and creating welcoming spaces for aboriginal people accessing health services. Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, chair of the Okanagan Nation Alliance, said, “The Letter of Understanding is a monumental agreement for the Aboriginal people of the Okanagan.
“As First Nations people continue to face poorer health outcomes than non-Indigenous Canadians, this marked an important step forward in developing a more respectful and collaborative relationship.” Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick added: “We…share this amazing region with the First Nations people who have lived here long before us and these paintings and this agreement are great strides in ensuring our continued partnership and growth in this location we all call home.”

The view from atop B.C. high school football’s Eastern Conference standings is very much to the Kelowna Owls’ liking. Remaining in the No. 1 spot will hinge on how Ben Macauley’s squad fares in Coquitlam on Friday night against the powerhouse Terry Fox Ravens. The Owls, 3-0 in regular season play, have outscored their opponents 121-28. The Ravens have been equally dominant, going 2-0 while outscoring their foes 84-22. The KSS head coach is pleased with his team’s start but knows the toughest test is yet come. “It’s nice to be undefeated, especially since we haven’t played our best football yet,” said Macauley, whose team is 6-0 overall. “We have a battle for first place against Fox this week, who is one of the best teams in Canada. We definitely have to be at our best.” The Owls may not have been at their absolute best on Saturday at the CNC turf, but still handled the W.J. Mouat Hawks 33-14. Despite being under the weather due to a virus, Owls’ senior Parker Simson was his dominant self in leading KSS to victory. “Even when Parker is sick, he can get the job done,” Macauley said. “He was an absolute beast on defense, laying punishing hits on receivers and making athletic plays on the ball.” Simson paced the offence with 64 yards passing and a

St. Thomas More controlled play in the first half Friday at the Apple Bowl, while the Bears took over in the second. Boucherie scored a touchdown and added a two-point conversion in the final minute to earn the draw. According to high school football rules, the teams should have played a shoot-out style tiebreaker to decide a winner, but the officials mistakenly called the game instead. “If you asked me if I would be happy with a tie I would have answered yes,” said Bears coach Mike Godwin. “I think with the way we were playing in the closing minutes, that we would have pulled out the win (in shootout). “STMC won the first half, we won the second, so maybe a tie was fitting in this instance.” Spencer Schmidt and Steven Johnson scored touchdowns for the Bears. On defense, Boucherie intercepted four passes— Taylor Knoll, Ethen Beselt, Chris Smith and Spencer Schmidt. The Bears (1-1-1) have this weekend off from league play, before returning to action Oct. 24 in Abbotsford against WJ Mouat. @capnewsports.ca
Rockets set O for rematch with Red Deer Rebels

The only loss the Kelowna Rockets suffered on their trip to Alberta earlier this month came at the hands of the Red Deer Rebels. The defending WHL champs are about to get another crack at the 2016 Memorial Cup hosts as the teams face off Wednesday night at Prospera Place. “I’m expecting us to be better, to be tighter defensively than we were the first time around,” said assistant coach Travis Crickard, referring to the Rockets’ 7-4 loss to the Rebels on Oct. 3. “We had some good chances offensively but just need to be more responsible in the D-zone. “You have two good teams, so it should be a very good game.” Crickard said with the return of defenseman Hadyn Fleury from the camp of the NHL’s Carolina Hurricanes, combined with the play of Czech import Michael Spacek, the Rebels should also be an improved team over the last meeting. One factor the Rockets shouldn’t have to worry about is fatigue. It’s the team’s first game since last Friday’s 3-0 home ice setback to the Victoria Royals. Kelowna was coming off a stretch of five games in an eight-day span, and seven games in 15 days to

start the season. “I do believe the time off gave the guys some time to regroup and recharge,” said Crickard. “It was nice for them to get away from the rink. “From the drop of the puck this season, it seems like it’s been go, go, go, game after game. The guys should be energized and ready to get back out there.” Rockets’ centre Rourke Chartier remains sidelined on a day-to-day basis with an upper body injury and isn’t expected to play tonight. Meanwhile, the Rockets also have a roster decision to make this week as all WHL teams must cut down to their three-player limit for 20-year-olds. W Kelowna currently has s four overage players— Jackson Whistle, Tyson Baillie, Cole Linaker and Gage Quinney.

the teams Saturday in Kamloops. Ryan Jerry provided the Heat with a clutch goal in the 85th minute to push the Heat to a 2-1 win. Key in the win was the play of UBCO’s Tate Cuthill who made nine saves and leads all keepers in Canada West with 51 stops this season. “He played very well,” Heat coach Dante Zanatta said of Cuthill’s play “He rose to the occasion and kept us in it. He kept us in early. TRU had a great chance to tie late in the first half but he made the save.” With the win, UBC Okanagan moves into the fourth and final playoff spot in the Pacific Division with a (3-4-3) record. The Heat has 12 points on the table but have played 10

ANDREW SNUCINS/CONTRIBUTOR
The UBC Okanagan Heat kept its Canada West playoff hopes in tact with a four-point weekend in men’s soccer action against Thompson Rivers. In the first game of a home-and-home set Friday night at Nonis Field, the Heat and Wolfpack played to a 1-1 draw. After TRU scored in the 13th minute to take the lead, Enzo Paal connected on a PK in the 42nd minute for his third of the season. The teams played through a scoreless second half in a game that was marred by plenty of fouls on both sides of the ball—13 by UBCO and 15 by the Wolfpack. That set the stage for a key matchup between

UBCO’s playoff hopes in women’s play took a hit as Clarie Paterson’s Heat women managed just a draw in two tries against the TRU Wolfpack. On Friday at Nonis Field, the UBCO defence proved vulnerable as in a 3-0 loss Thompson Rivers. On Saturday in Kamloops, the Heat responded with a much better effort in a 1-1 tie
against the ‘Pack. Courtney Hemmerling scored UBCO’s goal in the 19th minute was her first of the season. The Heat had the victory in its grasp but Danielle Fauteux scored in the 85th for TRU as UBCO settled for the single point. “I was happy with the way we turned things around after (Friday’s 3-0 TRU win),” said Paterson, the Heat’s head coach. “ We came out with a new game plan. For the most part, the girls were executing it. “ The ‘Pack (3-5-2) are in the sixth and final playoff spot with 11 points, while UBCO (1-5-4) is in seventh with seven. The Heat will close out their regular season with four straight at home, including this Saturday and Sunday at Nonis Field against MacEwan and Mount Royal.

City can create happiness through urban design What makes a happy city? The man with the answers to that question plans on sharing his ideas with a Kelowna audience. Charles Montgomery, author of Happy City: Transforming Our Lives Through Urban Design, will be in Kelowna Oct. 29 to talk about creating happier cities. As a leading author in the field of urban happiness, Montgomery wants to engage everyone to design more health and happiness into their cities.
During a presentation, slated for the Mary Irwin Theatre at Kelowna’s Rotary Centre for the Arts on Cawston Avenue downtown, he’ll share his insights on the power of social connectedness as the driver for human happiness, where happiness can come from in our society and what we have to consider to foster happiness within our communities. Montgomery will deliver his presentation as part of the Creative City Summit, the annual conference for the
Creative City Network of Canada, which is being held in Kelowna this year. A reception and book signing by Montgomery will follow his presentation. Tickets to hear Montgomery speak cost $25 each and $15 each for students but there is only a limited number available. A total of 160 tickets will be available to the general public and can be purchased at the Rotary Centre for the Arts box office or online at selectyourtickets.com.
Land acquired by Kelowna to expand the Lebanon Creek Linear Park The City of Kelowna has recently completed acquiring the remaining 6.18 hectares of natural area park land along Lebanon and Cedar Creeks as part of the 37-hectare Lebanon Creek Linear Park. “Over the past 15 years, we’ve been working to assemble the land to ensure these natural parks are protected and offer connectivity to other park systems in the South Slopes,” said City of Kelowna urban planning manager
Terry Barton. Together with the regional district and local developers, the next step is to establish a future trail system to provide more opportunities for residents to connect with nature and protect land for ecological reasons. Kelowna’s Parks Master Plan envisions a linear trail at the headwaters of Lebanon Creek connecting to the larger John’s Family Nature Conservancy Regional Park.
We’ll be working in your neighbourhood As part of regular maintenance of our natural gas system to ensure the continued safe and reliable delivery of natural gas to our customers, we will be upgrading a section of our system in Kelowna. Work is scheduled on Spall Road, between Harvey Avenue and Enterprise Way, from October 18 to October 25, 2015, between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. You may experience construction noise and a temporary traffic change during this time.

Now we’re well into October, children in MLA’s Report Kelowna have eased back into the back-toschool routine—and so NORM havemom and dad! LETNICK There’s always some stress as we resume busy school schedules, school lunches, homework and more. Sometimes there are financial stresses associated with going back to school, particularly for single parents on income and disability assistance. That’s why our [B.C.] government has launched the Single Parent Employment Initiative to help these individuals find long-term, sustainable employment. More than 16,000 single parents on income and disability assistance will have access to a wide range of supports under this program. These can include up to 12 months of funded training for an indemand job, or a paid work experience placement; as well as child care costs during training or work placement, and for the first year of employment; public transit costs to and from school; as well as a variety of services offered through WorkBC Employment Services Centres, like resumé writing workshops and interview preparation. In addition, recent changes to our government’s income assistance program means families on income and disability assistance are eligible for an increased earnings exemption—from $200 to $400 per month, or $300 to $500 per month for individuals with a child with disabilities—as well as supplemental health coverage for a year after they leave income assistance for employment. To learn more about Single Parent Employment Initiative, visit the website www.sdsi.gov.bc.ca/programs/spei.html. Our government also promised to help all parents kick-start their savings plan for their child’s education, and
we’re delivering. We brought in the B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant, a one-time $1,200 payment into the Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) of eligible children born in or after 2007. It will help families plan and save for their children’s post-secondary education so they can take advantage of B.C.’s strong and growing economy. It’s a simple process. All families need to do is open an RESP account to get the grant. No matching or additional contributions are required. Central 1 Credit Union is the host organization of the grant for their 42 member credit unions, consisting of 365 branches throughout British Columbia. B.C. credit unions are the first to offer the grant and it’s anticipated that more financial institutions will get on board in the months to come. It’s important to note that education and training after graduation can help unlock success. Even a small amount of savings in an RESP increases the likelihood that a child will continue their studies after high school. To learn more about the B.C. Training and Education Savings Grant, call 1-888276-3624 or visit the website www.gov. bc.ca/BCTESG. As new grandparents, my wife Helene and I wish for nothing more than the brightest future for little Luna—and we know you feel the same way about your children and grandchildren. Programs like these will no doubt help people of all ages build a better future for themselves and their families. Norm Letnick is the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country.
Speaking up for Uganda grandmas A member of the Kelowna Grandmothers for Africa charity organization was selected to be a delegate and represent the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grand mothers to Grandmothers Campaign at the Ugandan Grandmothers Gathering in Entebbe, Uganda.
Cheryl Fraser attended the event, held Oct.5 to 7, organized by a planning committee of five Ugandan communitybased organizations, with nearly 1,000 Ugandan grandmothers and others attending. Fraser was one of 23 delegates from Canada and the UK invited to take
part. The event planning committee, working in partnership with the Lewis Foundation, invited members of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign to join them, bear witness to their call to action, and stand in solidarity. Upon her return from Uganda, Fraser is seeking opportunities to share her experience and amplify the voices of these resilient Ugandan grandmothers. An opportunity to meet and hear Fraser will take place Nov. 14 at Discover Africa’s Culture & Cuisine, an event co-hosted by Kelowna Grandmothers for Africa and Rotary Club of Kelowna Sunrise.

Economy
According to recent reports in the news, an increasing number of seniors are filing for bankruptcy. The most recent Statistics Canada report which covers the years 1999-2012—meaning even though the report was just published, its already three years out of date—indicates that the debt in families increased by four per cent over these years. Seniors’ debt during this period increased by 16 per cent. In 2013, 69,000 people filed for personal Behind The bankruptcy. Counter People in general are taking on GABRIELE more debt. BANKA One-third of our population is now over 55 so it is probably safe to assume that one-third of 69,000, or 23,000 of the people who filed for bankruptcy in 2013, were over 55. How does this happen? Most seniors are finding that their limited pension, Canada Pension and Old Age Security are just not keeping up with inflation. Most seniors continue to drive, live in their homes and find that costs of maintaining their vehicles and homes are increasing. Then, added to that are the increasing costs of health issues. Most seniors are considered a good risk by creditors because their income is stable even though it is limited and seniors want to repay their debt and will sometimes go to great lengths to keep up with their bill payments, even using payday loans to pay them. This also makes seniors a great target for scam artists, such as those telephone scammers who have been posing as officers of the Canada Revenue Agency. One debt avenue is the ability to borrow against the equity in your home. When a senior dies, the lending institution will either need to be paid out or will take possession of the home for the value of the loan. The lending institution will not lend 100 per cent of the value of the home, so there is always some work for the executor of the estate in this situation. Many lending institutions will set up large lines of credit with the house as collateral, which is very similar to the home equity loan. Before you get into a home equity loan situation, seniors may want to have a family meeting and discuss their situation with their children because a home equity loan will affect their inheritance. Setting up a budget to handle necessary and discretionary expenses as well as matching up any other required payments to your income is also wise. Perhaps it may also be time to consider downsizing and moving out of the large house with the large maintenance into a townhome, mobile or apartment, or even into the basement of the home of one of your children.

School principal turns to writing It is the culmination of her life’s work so far as an educator, global humanitarian, leader, wife and mother. Kelowna elementary school principal Karine Veldhoen has penned and published her first book, Learn Forward: An Invitation to the Most Important Journeys of a Child. The book is inspired by her work with thousands of children and their families in two U.S. states, two provinces and around the globe. Veldhoen has been exploring the most important journeys of children through serving as the chief learning officer (prinicpal) at Willowstone Academy for the last decade and as an educator for the last 20 years. In 2007, she founded Niteo Africa, an organization devoted to providing literacy and

Former school principal Karine Veldhoen has written her first book, Learn Forward: An Invitation to the Most Important Journeys of a Child. educational opportunities to communities in
northern Uganda. As her life’s work
unfolded, a hunger to answer the question How can I help children thrive? led Veldhoen into the development of a unique educational philosophy. Learn Forward was launched in 2014. Veldhoen believes that in order for education to transform, a connection must be cultivated between school and home. This connection is practiced at the Table of Learning; a radical shift in thinking which is learning-centred. It allows us to courageously pursue our questions and practice the conditions for thriving through collaboration, connection and creativity. Her book is a deep exploration of the most important journeys, peppered with powerful stories of love, failure and redemption from her own life’s journey. “Each day I am inspired
to help children thrive. I want to link arms with teachers, parents and children to reach out for more. I’m certain it looks like a dinner table, organic and messy in nature,” explained Veldhoen. “Yet, my heart yearns to gather around the table because I need the encouragement as much as the next person. “I know it is from this point of connection that we will be able to Learn Forward, for the sake of the children.” Veldhoen’s book is available for pre-order now on amazon.ca. She will hold her first book-signing at the Magnificent Africa event on Saturday, Oct. 17, at First Lutheran Church in Kleowna. For more information, please contact the church office at 250-764-3111.

Survey on chasing business dreams More than half of Canadians (57 per cent) are entrepreneurs at heart and have thought of owning their own business, according to a recent RBC Small Business survey. While one-third (36 per cent) of Canadians who have thought of owning a business have actually started one, 84 per cent of those who have not started a business say they would rather work for themselves than for someone else. “Entrepreneurs play a key role in our economy by creating jobs, stimulating growth and encouraging innovation and creativity,”said Sarah Adams, vicepresident, Small Business, RBC. For those who have not started their own business, the following were cited as top barriers: • No capital/start-up money, 44 per cent • Need steady/reliable income, 38 per cent • Fear of failure, 29 per cent • Did not know how to start, 28 per cent. The survey also found of those who started their own business, 40 per cent saved their own money; 35 per cent started small or with a side business to test the waters; 28 per cent got moral or financial support from family/friends; and 21 per cent contacted a financial institution/accountant/lawyer.
Rise of the accidental entrepreneur When people suddenly realize their working world is about to change dramatically, the surprise of suddenly not having financial security makes them realize they no longer wish to hustle again for someone else’s vision. This realization prompts new horizons of thought that can lead to the accidental entry into the world of selfemployment in pursuit of an entrepreneurial dream. So just who is this accidental entrepreneur? This unique, new age person may be laid off from a white collar position but also could be newly unretired, a stay-athome spouse; tech-savvy professional; or a new
Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG immigrant. People who choose to step outside the box of life due to change in personal circumstance are part of a unique breed of entrepreneurial owners because they began their ventures out of necessity or after an opportunity presented itself to them. According to the Kauffman Entrepreneurship Foundation, truly one of the entrepreneurship meccas of the world, accidental entrepreneurs are among the 500,000 North American startups every month, and that rate keeps on rising very much due to changes in personal circumstances in
this ever evolving world. A research manager at the Kauffman Foundation stated recently this new breed of accidental entrepreneurs spawned and driven more by profits than the accepted ideology of passion— launching their new ventures out of pure, unmitigated necessity rather than a lifelong dream of being “ their own boss.” These agile, highly educated, tech-savvy and battle-tested people are like circling velociraptors, waiting to pounce and feast on the herd of opportunities before them. The ventures formed by these accidental entrepreneurs are poised for explosive growth, particularly
In partnership with
companies in the 10 to 49 employee range, and are aggressively leveraging technologies such as cloud computing to “fasttrack” their successful forward movement. Such ventures are born, it seems, of the recession phasing, are focused on the Internet and finding addressable markets to dominate. The entrepreneurs behind them are less siloed, very agile, make their own decisions and are more independent than pre-recession founders. Just as profit has seemingly replaced passion in the hierarchy of needs for these accidental entrepreneurs, don’t expect them to innovate their way to successful plateaus. As a group, they will be more focused on optimization than trailblazing. They will look to execute the playbook better and faster than anybody else. I would like to close this treatise this week with a self-quiz for you regarding a perspective of accidental entrepreneurs that I’m certain will find you bobbing your heads in acknowledgment at least to some of the characteristics. If you can say ‘yes’
to eight or more of the characteristic options below, you are or may be an accidental entrepreneur in the making: 1. You want what you are embarking on to make a difference in the world 2. You like living life on your terms. 3. You are not easily defeated, where others fail, you see opportunity solutions rather than problems 4. You are a creative and innovative thinker. 5. You are a calculated risk-taker; fear tempts you, not stops you 6. You are highly motivated 7. You have a wide range of interests and do many things well 8. You likely engaged in entrepreneurial-like activities as a child/youth 9. You like “making money.” 10. You have an abundance of sustainable energy .

Gardening columnist Don Burnett’s article in the Oct. 7 Kelowna Capital News headlined ‘Gardening Much Better Without the Insecticides’ got me thinking about how far we have come since my childhood. In the 1950s, ‘the fog man’ was a common sight at dusk on a summer evening. He drove around the streets of Kelowna (population 10,000) in his little white truck, spraying a fog of DDT to control mosquitoes. The thought of that is horrifying now. My first garden (1974-1984) was on 3/4 of an acre in Oyama. Surrounded by conventionally farmed/ sprayed apple orchard, it’s not surprising we never had insect pest problems (or many birds). Every year, before the orchard was sprayed with Sevin, we had to move our bee hives to a safe place in my parents’ 1/2 acre garden in town. Sevin is highly toxic to honeybees and many beneficial insects. This spray was
GWEN STEELE/CONTRIBUTOR
Xeriscape principles negate the need for pesticides
This pollinator (perhaps a hoverfly) is feasting on late blooming garlic chives. The larvae of many pollinators feed voraciously on garden pests like aphids.
Gardening With Nature GWEN STEELE supposed to be only “moderately” harmful to mammals. I shudder to think of Sevin and all the other unhealthy sprays that drifted onto our food garden. When we moved into town there were some garden pests, but we seldom resorted to using
insecticides. I have never used a pesticide since 1992 when I discovered the principles of xeriscape. They provided me with a super-easy guide to gardening successfully with the climate, not only drastically reducing my water use, but also helping me to create a garden that was in harmony with all living things. The seven principles
include planning and design, soil preparation, practical turf areas, efficient irrigation, appropriate plant selection, mulching and timely maintenance. Plants growing in their ideal conditions for light, soil type and moisture, are able to thrive. The same as with humans, a plant that’s stressed from being in unsuitable conditions is much more susceptible to diseases and pests. Stressors can include too much water or chemical fertilizers. Both cause fast, weak growth leading to more pruning and staking (more work). That growth is often juicy—just what pests like aphids are looking for. Keeping soil covered in an organic mulch (e.g. compost, Glenmore Grow or Nature’s Gold) helps hold moisture in the soil and ensures that plants get slow, even fertilizer as soil microbes break down the mulch. It’s important to create biodiversity—growing a wide diversity of plants so there are always some
flowers in bloom, from early spring until frost, to provide nectar and pollen to beneficial insects. Larval forms of many pollinators such as lacewings and hoverflies are voracious carnivores feasting on pests such as aphids. Many herbs (e.g. lavender, parsley, sage,
dill) particularly attract them. Hummingbirds’ main food is insects so as insurance against a future pest invasion, plant their favourite nectar plants, (e.g. ‘Jacob Cline’ or ‘Cambridge Scarlet’ beebalm, salvia, sweet alyssum). Planting sunflowers will attract many songbirds. Most
feast on insects as well as seeds. Check the plant database at okanaganxeriscape.org for more plants to attract hummingbirds and other birds. Gwen Steele is executive director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

Silver Song Group sessions bring a little joy through music to Central Okanagan seniors. Glenna Turnbull Contributor
During 2015, the Central Okanagan Foundation will distribute more than $2 million to help a variety of not-forprofit organizations, designed to benefit our community. If you think that’s something to sing about, then by all means, please do, because singing just might be what you need to make you feel better. Nigel Brown is the executive director of the Sing For Your Life Foundation, based in Kelowna.
The foundation facilitates participatory-singing and music making sessions for older people. A member of his family helped establish the Sing For Your Life program in the UK back in 2005 after a collaborative research project with the Sidney DeHaan Research Centre for Arts and Health at Canterbury Christ Church University which showed positive proof of improvements to the over-all wellbeing of seniors who participated in the specially designed singing program. After learning of its success in
the UK, Nigel decided to bring it to the Okanagan to help benefit seniors here. September marked the start of the fifth season of the Silver Song Groups here in the Okanagan. Walking into the Okanagan Mission Activity Centre at Sarson’s Beach, one of the three Okanagan locations that host Silver Song Group sessions, the happiness surrounds you like a giant hug. It’s infectious to the point where it’s hard not to feel good no matter what troubles you bring with you through the door. Everywhere you look, there are
smiling seniors, connecting and talking, laughing and interacting as they anticipate the start of the 90-minute program. Once the facilitator arrives, songbooks are passed around and everyone sits in a circle. The group starts with warm up exercises and breathing. Then the singing begins! The songs are generally simple to begin with, then advance into singing in rounds, adding echoes, and then involving some percussion instruments.

lifestyles__________________________________________________________________ BOTTLES FOR CHANGE
Water conservation campaign spreads to Kettle Valley The Bottles For Change campaign started in downtown Kelowna and is about to spread to the Kettle Valley neighourhood on Oct. 17. Kettle Valley residents will be provided the opportunity to reduce their water consumption with an easy and effective solution—a plastic bottle filled with sand. The environmental initiative known as Bottles For Change will be launched by Open For Change
Enterprises Inc. (OFC), a Kelownabased social enterprise. OFC volunteers will canvass doorto-door offering free plastic bottles filled with sand. By displacing water in toilet tanks, households will save water and money with every flush. “We want to show how easy water conservation can be, while inspiring the community to get involved,” said Michael Lavigne, CEO of Open For
community outreach campaign held by OFC. Besides the Bottles For Change drive earlier this year, the group also staged a Love Inn for homelessness awareness in February which earned a total contribution value of over $82,400, in support of Metro Community, Okanagan Boys & Girls Club Emergency Youth Shelter, and Inn from the Cold.
website (OpenForChange.com/ BottlesForChange). OFC intends to repeat the Bottles For Change campaign until they have reached their goal of saving one million litres of water a day. OFC is still looking for volunteers to help distribute bottles to the Kettle Valley community on Oct.17. To get involved, email Info@ OpenForChange.com, or call 250-869-7809. This is the third
Change. “We’re providing an effective solution free of charge. People just have to drop them in their toilet tanks. I think most people want to make a difference in the environment and are willing to perform a small task if they believe it will contribute towards a larger measurable impact.” Calculations of the total amount of water currently saved per day are displayed on OFC’s

Canadian troubador Murray McLauchlan will perform at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Friday, Oct. 23. Eastside 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 suburbs. A native of Saguenay, Que., Landry hosted the news on TVA for several years, and is now a TV news anchor for CBC French in Vancouver. As a journalist, she has worked alongside the police community, especially the world of the RCMP, for 20 years. As a crime writer, she published Terror in the

A song and dance veteran of such tribute shows as “My Generation”, “Play Boys’ Girls of Rock ‘n Roll” and “Legends in Concert,” Myers is the quintessential Stevie Nicks.

CONCERT Murray McLauchlan Friday, Oct. 23 7:30 p.m. Kelowna Community Theatre 1375 Water St. Tickets are on sale now for Canadian troubador Murray McLauchlan’s tour stop in Kelowna this fall.

Among his musical repertoire, Farmer’s Song, Down by the Henry Moore, Whispering Rain and Sweeping the Spotlight Away are now considered Canadian standards. During his entertainment career, 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. “Music is a communicative art and if it isn’t brought in front of people there is no way to tell if that end has been met. “I like to think of a concert tour as a kind of roving gallery to test your art and your ideas. “I try to do my very best to make it worthwhile for folks to be there and to perhaps look at things in a new way when they leave.” And that, in a nutshell, is the Murray McLauchlan concert experience.

lifestyles__________________________________________________________________ LEGAL AFFAIRS
Grandparents can face legal battle to see grandkids Contributor
In British Columbia, grandparents may be surprised to know that they are not automatically
entitled to spend time with their grandchildren. This issue often surfaces in the context of a family law dispute between the children’s parents.
Problems arise when either their child will not allow this, or when their son- or daughter-in-law has sole custody and refuses to allow them to see the grandchildren.
If the child’s parents are separated or divorced, a grandparent should normally see their grandchildren during their own child’s parenting or access time.
There are two possible routes to solve this problem. If the child’s parents were married and have an existing order under the federal Divorce Act, the grandparent

must apply under that act. Alternatively, a grandparent can apply for a court order regarding the care of a child under the provincial Family Law Act. When applying under the Divorce Act, the grandparent will be asking for an order about “custody and access.” The grandparent will be trying to vary an existing order between the parents. Before varying such an order, the Divorce Act requires that there has been a change in the condition, means, needs or other circumstances of the child since the making of the order. Under the Family Law Act, the time a person (who is not a guardian) has with a child is called “contact.” Anyone can apply for contact with a child including grandparents. A schedule of contact can either be established by agreement between the grandparents and the child’s guardians or alternatively a schedule of contact can be set by a court order. Agreements for contact with the grandparents are only good if they are signed by all of the child’s guardians. A person who applies for contact with a child must satisfy the court that the contact requested is “in the best interests of the child.” The court will usually extend a great deal of respect to the wishes of
the child’s guardians, and depending on the child’s age and maturity, to the wishes of the child. Therefore, it is best to try and negotiate these matters in advance, often using the assistance of a skilled family lawyer. Regardless of whether the application is brought pursuant to the Divorce Act or Family Law Act, the grandparent will bear the onus of proving that they have a healthy relationship with their grandchild, and should be prepared to demonstrate they played an active role in their grandchild’s life, before these difficulties arose. In summary, a grandparent does not have an automatic right to visit his or her grandchild. If the guardians cannot agree, a court order will be required. Whether or not a court order will be granted is largely dependent on what is in the best interests of the child.

Seniors STAYIN’ ALIVE
Music engaging for seniors I’ve always loved singing. When I was eight, I began to teach myself to play the piano. We had a bench full of books from my mom’s childhood teaching the basics of learning the notes and fingering. For some reason, I felt that playing the piano was a necessary component to creating music with my voice. It did not take me long to learn, as I spent most days after school down in our basement where the piano stood, practicing and practicing. Within a year, I was able to play an old songbook from the 1930s. It did seem as though I must have spent a lifetime as a blues lounge singer, because these songs were not ones you would think that a nine-year-old girl would have such an affinity to and with such a deep emotional connection. The effect that music has on our brains has in recent years been more carefully scrutinized. Daniel Levitin’s book, “This Is Your Brain on Music,” is a fascinating look at the science behind what makes music and memories a synchronized symphony of connection that defies logic. He writes: “The story of your brain on music is the story of an exquisite orchestration of brain regions, involving both the oldest and newest parts of the human brain, and regions as far apart as the cerebellum in the back of the head and the frontal lobes just behind your eyes. “It involves a precision choreography of neurochemical release and uptake between logical prediction systems and emotional reward systems. When we love a piece of music, it reminds us of other music we have heard, and it activates memory traces of emotional times in our lives. Your brain on music is all about connections.” We all need to feel emotions to stay engaged with the joy of living. We need to remember the times when joining with others and experiencing the laughter, the tears, the highs and the lows of our relationships produced a kaleidoscope of memories, creating our own world of imagination and wonder on an ever evolving
Seniors’ Concerns MARJORIE HORNE continuum. Musical memories of songs that we loved, particularly in the emotionally charged teenage years, stay preserved in an area of our brain called the amygdala, and the emotions attached to these favourite tunes have been shown to remain embedded in our consciousness, even as various forms of dementia may begin to ravage the workings of the brain. The words to these old tunes come easily and effortlessly, despite the fact that someone perhaps is not even able to remember what was just eaten off a plate of food. This is why it is so important to keep older adults singing to help them feel alive, connected and able to relive those experiences of the past by triggering the neuronal circuits in the brain that are entwined with musical memory. These memories may trigger joy or may sometimes trigger sorrow, but they facilitate emotional release and this opens the heart again to feel love and connection. I watched this phenomenon unfold as I was caring for my mom as she lost her sight completely and then her very sharp cognitive capacity only in the last eight months of her life. She had always loved music, especially listening to the tunes of Elvis Presley. There were many evenings in my youth that we all danced around the kitchen, myself, mom and my three sisters singing with Elvis, hips gyrating and voices crooning, as we did our nightly chore of washing and drying the dishes. What fun we had. I suppose that is why I felt a real miracle unfolded a couple of months before my mom passed away. She was in Hospice House here in Kelowna and unable to see, to stand, to hear well or to remember things from moment to moment. Dementia had developed quite suddenly after a number of small
strokes and she could no longer recite off the Vancouver Canucks game scores with a precision that thrilled us all only a few months before. As a family, we had slowly adjusted to this change, but we all felt the sadness of seeing her lose so much of who she once was. One afternoon in the lounge, a volunteer was playing the grand piano and we had pushed mom up beside her to listen. We told the volunteer that mom used to play the piano well but had not done so for years. The volunteer shifted mom closer in her Geri-chair and put her right hand on the piano keys. To all of our amazement, she gently began to stretch her fingers over the keys, feeling her way as she began to play one of her favourite Elvis tunes, Are You Lonesome Tonight. As the song echoed softly throughout the room, the volunteer joined with her to play the lower hand keys and like magic mom’s hand touched on every note correctly. It was a breathtaking moment for everyone present and at the end of the song, my mom just bowed her head and smiled, feeling the joy of what she had just done. Following her death, I decided to become involved in a local foundation called Sing For Your Life, that creates opportunities for seniors to keep singing through the offering of free facilitated Silver Song Groups in our community (see story on B1). These programs show amazing results in improving wellness outcomes for seniors, simply through the pleasure of singing. Raising funds to continue this astounding effort is crucial and we are holding a major fundraising event on Oct. 16 at the Mission Hall called the Stayin Alive Dance Party to do so. We need your support and I ask you to visit the Stayin Alive Dance Party Facebook page to learn more and then purchase your tickets at EventBrite or by calling 250-8605408. Singing and music really does make everything better, so please come and join us. marjorie@caresmart.ca
1ST ANNUAL
Singing brings a little joy and laughter into the lives of seniors SING FROM B1 “Some of the exercises are designed to fail because, as you get older it can get harder to laugh at yourself,” noted a Sing For Your Life board member. “So in a group setting, when we all mess up together, it’s OK.” Because singing is an aerobic activity, it increases oxygen in the blood stream and can help improve circulation and respiratory function. Psychologically, the benefits of singing with a community range from improved morale to helping combat depression. People who come for a regular period of time find they’re feeling better and they’re breathing better. The program has also proven beneficial for those suffering dementia or early Alzheimer’s due to the use of reminiscent stimulation. “We might chat about songs or, for example if it’s a Broadway tune, try remembering where you were when you saw it, who the actor was that played the lead—things like that,” said Brown. “We’re working on memory through games.” Each session is designed to produce the optimal wellness outcome. “It’s not just ad Now you can use the Internet to add your own non-profit event to the Capital News Stuff to Do.

hoc singing any song any how,” said, Brown. “Each unique 90-minute session has a plan to it.” Most of the participants range in age from mid-60s through to late-80s, and some bring their younger caregivers along with them. There is a break half way through allowing for tea and more socializing and by the time it ends, nobody is in a rush to go home. At the age of 83, Bill Horton is one of the older members. He’s been attending for the past year and loves it. “It’s great. The
happiness that is here throughout the whole crowd, that’s what I find is different from some of the other things I’ve gone to. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves,” Horton said. There is no cost for the program as it is completely funded through donors and grants. The charity’s next fundraiser is a dance party on Friday, Oct. 16. Anyone looking for more information can go online to www.sfylc.org or contact Margaret at 250-764-8808 or Joan at 778-755-0562.

Winning formula for student housing Mission Group Homes Ltd. has found a winning formula with its residential condominium development in Kelowna’s university district. U-Two borders on UBC Okanagan and according to JoAnne Adamson, director of sales for Mission Group, is the best kept secret in town for student housing opportunities. “People are hearing more and more about it as a success,” says Adamson. The first building, U-One, had 66 suites and sold out this summer after only nine months. U-Two West, the first phase, has been on the market for only five months and is nearly sold out with two suites remaining. U-Two East, the second phase, was released last month and is already roughly 40 per cent sold. The developments will provide 56 suites each, which come with underground parking and bike storage amenities. Adamson says part of the reason for the success is because the suites were designed to serve both the needs of students and investors. “The vacancy rates in Kelowna hover around the one per cent mark, which ensures a high demand for student housing,” said Adamson. U-One investors have reported achieving desirable rental rates and students are happy to live within
easy walking distance to the campus. The suite interiors reflect a clean and modern look and have bedrooms large enough to fit a bed and private study desk, equipped. All homes come equipped with internet, cable, and phone outlets and durable vinyl plank flooring The suites are open-concept design with spacious living areas and full kitchen facilities. While student housing is an issue throughout the city for the university, accommodation just outside the UBCO campus is an even more highly desirable and rare occurrence. The single best amenity for U-Two residents, will be the close proximity to the UBCO campus. “We didn’t really add any major amenities to the development to avoid increasing strata fees and onsite amenity management issues for the unit owners because of the closeness to UBCO,” said Adamson. “The university itself represents a large amenity because of the close access to the campus grocery store, convenience store and food court along with a world class gym facility.” The ability to live so close to the campus relieves students of transportation issues to and from the campus, and allows them to come and go between class and home throughout the day.
Food drive helps those in need
“Not everyone has classes that fall within a four or six hour consecutive time period,” Adamson said. “They are more often spread throughout the day, coupled with lab time, so to be able to walk back and forth is a huge bonus. “If you have to take the bus to the campus from a further destination, you can’t leave the campus even if your classes are spread out throughout the day.”

Adamson said UBCO only guarantees student housing on campus for first year students, about 22 per cent of the university student populace, so second, third and fourth year students have to scramble to find housing off-campus each year. For more information about the U-Two suites, check out utwoliving.com.
The Kelowna Community Food Bank has received a helping hand from local area real estate companies participating in the Colliers International Real Estate Food Drive Challenge. The real estate firms rallied together to collect more than 2,500 pounds of food to help fight hunger in the Central Okanagan. “This was our first Food Drive Challenge,” said Rod Smith, with Colliers. “We hope to make this an annual event and build off the success that we had this year.” There were a handful of offices that took part in the challenge and Nester’s Market got involved as a drop-off location. Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty was clearly ahead at the end of the challenge, but the ultimate winner was the Kelowna Community Food Bank and the people that it serves.

Bart is a mature canine who loves life and everything in it....except thunderstorms! He enjoys cuddles, is a great walker..and runner too. Bart will do well in an active home where he will get lots of exercise and fresh air. He has lived in a home with children, but as always we ask that the WHOLE family comes to meet him.

If you are confident that Bart will fit into your lifestyle, come down and spend some time getting to know him.
For some time now, many dogs have been lost or stolen in Kelowna and the surrounding areas.
5 YEARS PITT BULL TERRIER NEUTERED MALE
Dante thinks he is a lap dog, but he is not. He is needing a home where he will be understood and meet his needs. He is strong with a large personality and we highly recommend that you his new guardian have extensive experience. He will need further training, he needs to be in a home where he is the ONLY dog, and he must meet ALL members of your household before a final adoption can be approved. If you feel you can give him the home he deserves and make him the best he can be, ask the staff to set up a private introduction.

PHILIP ID# 375291
Hi there. My name is Phillip. I am a very handsome boy, but because my picture is blurry, you’re just going to have to come to the Kelowna SPCA and see for yourself. Once you see me and I see you, I am positive it will be love at first meeting and then I can go home with you - oh please. If I had a warm lap to nap in and a spot at the foot of my guardian’s bed to sleep off the day’s activities I would be purr-fectly happy. Please come down and spend some time getting to know me, I am house trained and good with other kitties.

If you are looking for a chance to give out love and receive it back 10 fold, then these little gems are exactly what you need.
Splash would love the chance to be your best friend. A home where she can receive lots of attention and bonding time would be ideal as she loves to socialize. Interaction is fun for her, and she would benefit from a family who likes to do so. Splash will roll around on the floor when she is happy, and will follow you until she gets a pat. If you would like a cat who loves life, please come introduce yourself. She is patiently awaiting to become part of your family.

JENNY ID#381256 5 YEAR OLD CHIHUAHUA FEMALE
We’re pleased to introduce this little gal - Jenny. We know nothing of her background, but rest assured, you both will love learning new things about each other every day. Since her arrival at the Shelter, we’ve found Jenny to be a joy. She is just a tad shy at first greeting, but she warms up very quickly and gets that tail of hers wagging. If you’re looking for a walking partner, than you have a great one in Jenny. She’s a charmer and will welcome all the attention you have to offer, for years to come.
