DONATED TO DUCKS UNLIMITED
Wetland habitat preserved Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com
A long-standing Oyama family has donated two parcels of marshland to Ducks Unlimited Canada, ensuring their wetland values will be maintained for wildlife in perpetuity. The Young and Lloyd families, which settled in Oyama in the early days of the community’s establishment more than a century ago, were granted the parcels of land in the 1930s when a period of severe drought extending across the country saw the wetland sufficiently dried out to allow it to be farmed. The rich land, known as Marsh Lake, was cultivated in oats and potatoes, and cattle were driven to and from their summer grazing lands along the wetland’s edge.
The two families were eventually joined through marriage, and the Young family continued to reside next to the marsh. By the time Joyce Young, now age 96, married Richard Young in the summer of 1950, wetter conditions had returned, and the marsh was again prolific with wildlife. Joyce has spent decades watching the goings-on of painted turtles, great blue herons, red-winged and yellow-headed blackbirds, ring-necked pheasants, and a variety of snakes, frogs and waterfowl that have made their homes in and around the marsh over the years. Her children and grandchildren learned to skate on the wetland. Recognizing the wetland’s importance to wildlife and concerned about the ongoing
loss of wetland habitat in the Okanagan Valley, Joyce and her two sons, David and Robert Young, made the joint decision to donate their marshland to Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC) to safeguard its future. David Young, who had donated an adjacent land parcel to DUC in 2008 and was satisfied with both the organization’s management of the land and the tax benefits he received as a result of the donation, contacted DUC in the spring of 2014 to get the ball rolling. After property appraisals and biological and land surveys were completed, the land titles were finally transferred earlier this year. “We were very privileged to have the use

News LOOK INTO THE FUTURE
Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
The “house of the future” is on display in Kelowna, showcasing a plethora of network connected technology— some yet to be massproduced and others that consumers can already buy. The display, set up by Telus to promote its fibre optic network, which has already been installed in Kelowna and West Kelowna, features gadgets to make the home of the future run smoothly and, of course,wirelessly. They include a giant 78-inch, curved-screen 4k high-definition television set fully integrated with the home’s security and other information and control systems and controllable by an app on your smart phone, a face-
recognition system to unlock and automatically open the front door, a fully connected home office with a retractable video monitor screen and huge touch screen providing voice and video connections to the outside world, a fully digital information-giving stove top that includes a touch digital reader that not only identifies food placed on it, but can weigh the food,give information about it and suggest recipes that include that food. Also in the kitchen is a motion-sensitive menuplanning system that keeps track of the food you have in your fridge and suggests appropriate menus. There is also a monitor inside the front door that provides up to the minute information about everything inside and
outside the house, from the weather that day to email messages waiting for you and even if you missed the delivery of a package. It then connects you to the delivery service so you can have it redelivered. “This will all make life easier and give people more time to do other things,” said Ryan Bazeley, senior media relations manager with Telus. But while operation of some elements of the house—which is actually a small modular building—are possible using traditional copper networks, the enhanced abilities of fibre optics will allow more of them to be used at the same time. Telus says its fibre network will one day have transfer speeds of up to 1 gigabyte. Part of the problem

According to Tony Geheran, vice-president

The house of the future is free to tour and is located in the north-east corner of the parking lot at Orchard Park Shopping Centre until Nov. 12. It will then move to the Okanagan Lake Shopping Centre in West Kelowna, where it will be open to the public from Nov. 15 to to Nov. 20.
CITY OF KELOWNA
Council, public sign off on Central Green changes Artist’s conceptual rendition of how the Central Green outdoor plaza will look.
Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
Kelowna city council has changed the development plan for Central Green. But while city staff described the change as “minor,” one city councillor begged to differ. Coun. Charlie Hodge said moving three planned residential towers— that could have stood anywhere from three-to 20-storeys high— back from the property line along Harvey Avenue to the middle of the site where green space was originally envisioned was a major change. But he found no support amongst his fellow councilors, who all enthused about the new plan, saying it kept the spirit of what the city and
the public wanted for the site in terms of development, alive.
Hodge at a public hearing on the new proposal Tuesday night. “But I will not be voting for it because it’s not what the pubic wanted.” He said extensive public input went into the original concept for development of Central Green and while economics have obviously changed from the developers point of view, the change amounted to far more than the “minor” change city staff described. But Hodge was alone in that opinion. Mayor Colin Basran and seven of his councillors all chimed in to praise the plan and say how Central Green

The high-profile site at the corner of Harvey Avenue and Richter Street, once home to Kelowna Secondary School, is slated to be developed with a mix of residential, affordable and support housing, as well as commercial space and park land. The majority of the property was bought by local developer Al Stober Construction Ltd. in 2014. Stober is now partnering with the another local developer, The Mission Group, in developing the site.

UBCO honours those who fought for freedom On a cool autumn day at UBC’s Okanagan campus, Brittany Crooks hosts a spontaneous bagpipe practise. Professors and students, rushing to classes, stop, listen and offer applause once Crooks finishes. It wasn’t so much the bagpipes that stopped people in their tracks, but more so the song Crooks plays—ACDC’s Thunderstuck. This 18-year-old student isn’t your typical bagpipe player and she scoffs at any stereotypical
images of the old boys club or kilted senior citizens playing wind instruments. Crooks, a first-year student with UBC Okanagan’s Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences, has plans to major in physics and hopes to become a neurosurgeon. But for now, she’s content attending classes and getting good grades while she works towards her undergrad degree in science—and playing the bagpipes with the Kelowna Pipe Band
Brittany Crooks practices playing the bagpipes in preparation for the Remembrance Day ceremony at UBC Okanagan on Monday, starting at 10:45 a.m. Society. Crooks began playing the bagpipes five years ago when she was with the cadet program—her options were shooting or the band. She progressed quickly to the bagpipes and likes the fact that it’s a unique instrument with a sound all its own.

administrators, along with Royal Canadian Legion guests, will speak briefly about the importance of Remembrance Day in Canada. The traditional two minutes of silence, along with a bugle reveille and bagpipe lament, played by Crooks, will be part of the formal service. A number of other UBCO students will be involved in the ceremony. Among them will be Tom Macauley, Nika Amft, Layne Richardson and Chantel Bennett, who will recite poetry; student speaker Celine Edwards; the a capella group UBCO Beats singing O’Canada and God Save the Queen; and Lieut. Josh TrowsseFreeman and Crpl. Cody Lauterbacher, with the British Columbia Dragoons. After the formal service, a reception will be held in the Arts Building foyer. The public is encouraged to attend this service which will begin at 10:45 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 11.

Learning to play the bagpipes has a steep learning curve and Crooks says when you stop learning, it’s time to stop playing the instrument. Last week, she learned to play Thunderstruck, hence the on-campus practise session. Crooks, who has played at an event at UBCO this fall, will be the official piper at the university’s Remembrance Day ceremony on Monday, Nov. 9. “As World Wars I and II become more distant in our memory, it becomes increasingly important to pay homage and respect to those who fought for the freedom of our nation,” said Crooks. “As a bagpiper— and a UBC Okanagan student—I am deeply humbled and honoured to aid in the continuation of a cultural ceremony as important as Remembrance Day.” UBC’s Remembrance Day service takes place in the courtyard, and is open to the public.

Knee Arthritis and Knee Injuries Successfully Treated by Shockwave Therapy

GOODBYE TASTING PANEL
B.C.’s wine industry, he explained, “has lacked unity and integrity because the VQA system has been a little bit broken.” Not every winery owner opted to get the VQA seal, making what was sold to consumers as “an industry mark of authenticity” optional. If the task force’s recommendations are accepted, buy-in won’t be optional anymore. There will be mandatory membership in the B.C. Wine Authority for winery licence producers making wine from 100 per cent B.C.-grown grapes. To sweeten the pot for those who have yet to join, the task group recommended ditching
something the industry has grown out of, the tasting panel. To get VQA approval winemakers now bring their creations to a tasting panel that looks for faults. “Twenty-five years ago that was important because we didn’t have the history and expertise as a wine industry,” said Cipes. “We had the raw potential in the land, but not the knowhow.” There were a lot of failures back then, but now the fail rate is under five per cent. Occasionally there will be a brilliant and beautiful wine that’s misinterpreted by the tasting panel. “That’s frustrating. You have to resubmit it, you don’t know if you’re going to have to print your labels with VQA on it and there’s a cost associated with it,” said Cipes. “And there are frontiers of winemaking that stylistically don’t fit in …styles that are valuable in the market place and strong.” An example at Summerhill was a rosé it released a couple of years ago. It used pinot noir grapes, which can be

tendon, binding the knee and often creating soft tissue pain. For the past four years I have been using Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) to treat these conditions, because shockwave therapy breaks down scar tissue and stimulates blood vessel growth to restore muscle function and promote healing. The Journal of Surgical Research 2012 showed ESWT is effective in preventing knee arthritis. In The American Journal Of Sports Medicine 2007, 90% showed significant improvement in patellar tendonitis. Furthermore, The Archives of Orthopedic Trauma Surgery 2007 showed significant reduction in the progression of knee arthritis (ESWT stimulates cells to produce cartilage). Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.
DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic
Each of these injuries comes with its own set of obstacles when treating with conventional methods: tendonitis can create fibrous adhesions and scar tissue that disrupts the normal function of the muscle; arthritis erodes the cartilage, decreasing the joint space; and surgery, although often necessary, creates scar tissue on the surrounding muscle and
trace-backs, audits of origin and authenticity, rather than maintaining defined styles. “Our recommendations are all around ensuring everybody is playing by the same rules so we can develop integrity in our labeling and an identity for our wine region, so we can grow and flourish on the world stage,” said Cipes.

hether you are an athlete, in your golden years of retirement, or the typical person on your feet all day at work, you know there’s nothing more debilitating than a knee injury. Knee injuries have many faces and causes and these three groups of people are susceptible to the same injuries but from different causes. Tendon injuries are the most common: Iliotibial band syndrome (pain on the outside of the knee); Patellar tendonitis (pain below the knee); and hamstring injuries (leading to pain in the back of the knee). As well, arthritis plagues many and often results in knee replacement surgery. And unfortunately, many knee surgery patients (due to ligament or cartilage tears) frequent our office.
“The VQA is now 25 years old, and it was meant to be an authentication mark that let people know they were buying 100 per cent B.C. wine,” explained Ezra Cipes, one of the 15-member BC Wine Appellation task group that formed in March. “Before that, wine wasn’t always an agricultural product and it wasn’t about our land… It was a commodity and a market-driven thing. ‘Now B.C. wine is artisinal and a product of the agriculture industry. It’s about building a quality premium product that speaks about a place, and can compete in the premium tiers of the marketplace.” And the market, in turn, keeps pushing the industry to greater heights that Cipes said the rules governing wine making are restricting it from reaching. Task force recommendations released this week address those rules and suggest ways to raise industry standards, matching them with what exists in an American Viticultural Area, where the regulations are about

earthy, and gamey, and that came through. It was unusual because a rosé, is expected to be light and fruity, and that’s what the VQA tasting panel came to expect. “They thought it was a bacterial problem, but it wasn’t. It was a pure varietal character of the grape coming through,” said Cipes. “They weren’t doing chemical analysis, they were doing taste analysis and it didn’t pass.” The market, however, didn’t balk at the earthier flavour and the wine sold out in a month and a half. The VQA also doesn’t recognize naturalist winemaking, which is increasingly popular. With those examples and many more highlighting the tasting panel’s weaknesses, Cipes said that it’s time to let it go. “Restricting innovation in winemaking with a tasting panel is questionable,” said Cipes. “We can let market forces dictate which wines consumers give their stamp of approval to.” Existing accredited lab analysis should continue, the task group stated, to ensure that B.C. wines meet health, safety and technical standards. Cipes said that the task group also recommended putting an end to the optional element of the wine authority. The task group also called for mandatory membership in the B.C. Wine Authority for winery licence producers making wine from 100 per cent B.C.-grown grapes. In addition, the task group wants the B.C. Wine Authority to be able to prevent the use of unapproved regional names for wines made only from B.C. grapes.

The task group took a serious look at labeling terminology, which is something consumers may want to keep an eye open for in the years to come. They’ve identified— but not affixed labels to— 15 sub-appellations for the 140-kilometre-long stretch of the Okanagan valley.

That South Okanagan stretch of wineries used its historical name “golden mile” and combined it with a geographical feature, its “bench,” to create a name that only they can use to denote quality and place.

label. “The biggest opportunity available to us wasn’t just to make a regulation that everybody abides by and bring integrity to the industry. It was also to give everyone an opportunity to talk about our terroir seriously,” Cipes said. “If we take our terroir seriously, and speak knowledgeably about what makes it special, then maybe the world will, as well.” The report has been submitted to the B.C. Wine Authority, which regulates the quality of B.C. wines. There will be an industry plebiscite before any of the recommendations are implemented.
CENTRAL GREEN DEVELOPMENT
Hodge: ‘It’s not the plan the public wanted’ There are also two supportive housing projects on the property but they are separate sites from the land Stober and The Mission Group will build on. The city bought the land from the school district in 2003 and tried, unsuccessfully, for years to have it developed. The new plan calls for a lowrise, four-storey residential building along the Harvey Avenue frontage of the property and an eight-storey office/commercial tower, that will include a bank, at the corner of Harvey and Richter. Behind those two buildings will be two residential towers that could stand anywhere from four- to 20-storeys high. While the exact heights have yet to be decided by the developer, one councillor, Ryan Donn, urged the developer to “build them as tall as possible.” A commercial open-air public plaza will be built directly behind the eight-storey office/ commercial tower, while the remainder of the site will conform to the original plan.
City in Action CounCil HigHligHts Civic Block land use plan
Council endorsed the draft concept of the plan for Kelowna’s Civic Block, the final steps to develop the supporting plan materials and to share the plan with the public. The draft concept incorporates community input, planning and design best principles and technical analysis to create a long-term vision for the area. The proposed Civic Block Plan supports My Downtown Plan goals of enhancing activity and attracting private investment, while protecting sites for future civic use and encouraging a dynamic Cultural District.
Quarterly Report
Council received the third quarter report for 2015 – an update on the City’s activities during July, August and September. Highlights include more than 6,000 requests for service, installation of wayfinding signage, free outdoor events, four emergency operation centre activations and the Police Services building groundbreaking.
Fire engine
Council approved a budget amendment of $50,000 to compensate for the devalued Canadian dollar (compared to the American dollar) and replacement costs for Fire Engine 2. The strengthening American dollar has a serious impact on the cost of emergency vehicles.

That called for three large, four-storey condominium buildings around what will become the new Rowcliffe Park on the sourthern third of the property. A tree-lined walkway linking the residential area to the park will cut through the centre of the property. An internal road—meant for deliveries, drop-offs and access to the Stober buildings—will be built between the towers and buildings facing Harvey Avenue. All parking, with the exception of a few short-term spaces along the internal road, will be accommodated in a large underground parkade. While work could start on the first buildings as soon as next year, the total buildout of the site could take as long as 10 to 15 years, said Luke Turri of The Mission Group, who acted as spokesman for the developers at the public hearing. Stober will build the Harvey Avenue buildings and the towers, while the Mission Group will build four-storey condominium buildings around the park.
CHANGES FROM A3
“I’m very pleased to see this come forward,” said Coun. Luke Stack, who along with Hodge are the only two current councillors who were on council in 2010 when plans for Central Green were first proposed. “I have no problem with it.” Stack, like several of his council colleagues, said he thought the new plan captured the spirit of the initial vision for Central Green. Coun. Brad Seiben said he “enthusiastically” supported the new plan. Coun. Gail Given said she was relieved that there will not be a “wall of buildings” along Harvey Avenue. But Hodge wasn’t persuaded. “I like the plan. It’s a great plan but it’s not the plan the public wanted,” he said. Hodge told council he felt he owed it to the people who put so much work and energy into the original concept to say no. “This is not what was agreed to.” But in the end, the new plan was approved by an eight to one vote. No members of the public spoke at the public hearing.

A lengthy court document from the regional district followed Oct. 28, rejecting all claims made. Two previous attempts by Kelowna Mountain Development Services Ltd. to challenge the planning authority of the regional district have been rejected by the courts. The most recent failed bid was in September 2014 when the Court of Appeal dismissed the case, upholding the validity of the RDCO Zoning Bylaw No. 871. “It’s unfortunate that yet again, Central Okanagan taxpayers will be footing the bill for a legal challenge from this developer,” said RDCO board chair Gail Given in a press release that followed days later. “I can say that the regional district will actively defend itself against these unproven and false accusations that are without merit. “I can also confirm the regional district has yet
It received notice of another civil suit being launched by Kelowna Mountain, owned by Mark Consiglio, earlier this month, asking that the regional district ante up losses “sustained as a result of the defendant’s misconduct.” “In its zeal to prevent all development on Kelowna Mountain, the (regional district) exercised its powers with malice and intent to injure the plaintiffs or did so with knowledge that it lacked authority in the circumstances where it could foresee that its actions would harm the plaintiffs,” reads the notice of civil claim. Among other things, the claim says that approximately $50 million was spent to purchase the lands and to develop them for agriculture and agri-tourism uses. The regional district’s efforts to thwart that effort “resulted in these expenditures being wasted.”

TOURISM SUMMIT
Marketing efforts paying off
Barry Gerding
bgerding@kelownacapnews.com
Tourism business operators from across the Thompson Okanagan gathered in Kelowna last week to talk about the development of their industry. Called the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association Annual General Meeting and Tourism Summit 2015, most of that talk around the Manteo Resort conference room was positive. Revenues for tourism businesses is up in our region, five to 10 per cent over previous years. Many saw business pick up in the months of May, June and September, something that wouldn’t have happened a decade ago. The tourism industry pumped $1.75 billion in spent dollars into the Thompson-Okanagan region, and attracted 3.5 million visitors. “Some areas felt the impact of the forest fires and the smoke in the air towards the end of summer,” acknowledged Glenn Mandzuik, chief executive officer of the Thompson Okanagan Tourist Association. “But even with that, there is a very positive attitude within our industry Glenn Mandzuik across the region.” Not that there are not challenges on the immediate horizon—marketing awareness, labour shortfall and the potential impacts of climate change—but Mandziuk said the industry is positioning itself to continue to prosper. In recent years, TOTA has began to tout the concept of a regional marketing to its members, that a collective marketing approach is better for business, and offers greater attraction options for tourists, rather than directly competing with each other. “There has been an evolution in how we market ourselves as a region, but it’s still a work in progress,” he said. Mandziuk also cited the importance of establishing Destination BC, a provincial tourism marketing arm of the government that is overseen by the industry rather than politicians or political appointees, to help market tourism both within and outside the province. “It has been two and half years since Destination BC was started and we’re starting to see results now from that effort, “ said Mandziuk, who noted it also complements the Destination Canada tourism promotion initiatives launched by the federal government. “I think we all now realize the only way to get our province on the map from a tourism promotion perspective is to raise the level of awareness,” he said. Mandziuk points out how some pockets of the Lower Mainland still don’t realize the Okanagan has a wine industry, and the need to combat the focus on B.C.’s “golden triangle” for tourism—Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler. Walt Judas is the chief executive officer of the Tourism Industry Association of B.C. and one of the guest speakers at last week’s summit. Judas said his message was largely positive, in particular pointing out what a fabulous year it’s been for the Thompson Okanagan. “There is a tourism product here that continues to grow and mature, case in point
It’s been a banner year for the Thompson Okanagan tourism industry, but concerns about climate change affecting our natural amenities and a potential labour shortage to fill available jobs remain concerns looking ahead. being the wine industry, where generally operators and tourism businesses have done well to market the attractions here,” Judas said. “It’s not just the weather or drop in the Canadian dollar bringing more Americans here, but a buildup of a lot of hard work by destination marketing groups like Tourism Kelowna and (TOTA) for several years.” But Judas said the industry can’t let up on the need for marketing awareness initiatives, and will have to address labour shortages and climate change. On the labour front, Judas said tourism operators have difficulty filling the job openings, particularly those which are seasonal. “Finding seasonal employees is always a challenge, and providing accommodation for them is problematic as well,” Judas said. “Sometimes foreign workers are willing to come here and work, sharing accommodation with others in order to send money back home, while for people here they have higher expectations for the type of work they desire to do. “They are looking instead for jobs with higher wages and for jobs that are personally more careeroriented.” It is a similar challenge to Walt Judas what the local agriculture industry faces, where nobody locally wants to pick the fruit leaving orchardists to increasingly rely on other labour options, such as bringing in workers from Mexico. Like agriculture, for the tourism industry there are no easy answers to that issue, but Judas said the industry has to continue to build a marketing case for how tourism related jobs are a great resumé builder and a way to learn more about the career opportunities that tourism might hold. “There is also the opportunity to enjoy some of the resort areas and cities around or province to experience the amazing amenities that draws tourists there, whether it be skiing
in the winter or summer activities,” Judas said. Mandzuik said TOTA estimates that by 2020, there will be a shortfall of people to fill 1,600 full-time jobs, one that his organization wants to address “head-on” now rather than waiting till it reaches a crisis stage. “We already hear about labour issues in our region. I know of one hotel property that has to close down half the hotel because they can’t find staff to support keeping the rooms open,” Mandziuk said. “Those issues are important for us because it is the tourism employees that play a key role in delivering a positive tourism experience to our visitors.” He said if you don’t have enough staff it will diminish the experience, one of the best marketing tools for bringing people back again and again. To that end, Mandzuik said TOTA and a provincial human resources initiative called GO TO HR have joined forces on a $250,000 investment over the next two years to put a tourism industry labour recruiter on the ground in the Okanagan. That person’s role, Mandzuik explained, is to develop awareness on both a local and international level of job opportunities that exist here. The mandate will be to reach out to local high schools and post-secondary institutions to educate students on those job opportunities, to work with smaller tourism operators who don’t have human resources management staff to attract workers and to spread the recruitment message on an international level as well. “This is a big movement for us, but we want to raise the level of awareness for job opportunities in the tourism industry starting now and not wait until those challenges arise in 2020,” Mandziuk said. As for climate change, Judas said it remains an issue that “is hard to get a handle on.” For the tourism industry, it’s important to understand the potential impact of climate change and where it could lead down the road. “Adjustments have to be made for certain tourism businesses, certain sectors and products that might feel a negative impact,” he said. Judas cites the ski industry as one example, where changing weather patterns impact the amount of snow a ski hill may expect to receive in future years. “The ski industry is a good example because if there is a lack of snow, how do those resorts adjust to that given the huge investments in infrastructure, marketing and staff that are made? What do they do to adjust to that reality?

Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association and Greenstep Solutions have signed an agreement to promote green tourism products across the region. One of the most valuable assets the Thompson Okanagan offers is its abundant natural beauty and it is imperative that as we grow the tourism product we ensure this rich environment is protected, said Glenn Mandziuk, CEO of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association. GreenStep Solutions, a Kelowna-based company which operates across Canada, has worked with more than 1,200 businesses since 2008 on a wide variety of sustainability-related projects and programs. Through Green Tourism, GreenStep solutions provides third-party certification and expert guidance to all types of tourism businesses, helping them create a green action plan. “We couldn’t be more excited to have the opportunity to work in our own backyard, together with TOTA, to help support the Thompson Okanagan tourism industry as it strives to integrate more green and responsible business practices” said Angela Nagy, GreenStep Solutions CEO.

Violence unacceptable in junior hockey To the editor: As a devout hockey fan, sports writers and coaches leave me wondering about the future of the game. When will the sport of the game be separated from the needless violence of fists to the head?
LETTER OF THE WEEK Living in a vibrant hockey town where the Memorial Cup is the ‘holy grail’ I’m increasingly left with the post game question: What constructive purpose does fighting serve beyond attracting fight goons to the game? I’ll bet that there are more true fans turned away from the game by needless violence than those attracted to such antics. Then there is the fact of concussions and CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) that

have cut short the promising careers of many talented players. We now know with scientific certainty that this is a fact of facilitating, if not promoting, such needless violence. Hockey coaches, managers and owners ought to be taken to task on this issue. Football, soccer, basketball and even international hockey have outlawed fighting. Yet the mandarins in control of Canadian hockey continue to leave their heads stuck ‘where the sun don’t shine,’ a condition technically known as cerebral-rectal-inversion. The problem exists to the extreme with the molding of younger players eager for a chance at the big time. These are strong young men, filled with youthful energy and drive. They do not practise endless hours and come to the rink to sit on the bench. Theirs is a youthful willingness to please and be recognized. Teenage minds in strong bodies, these are ready victims for the careless direction of adult management, urged on by the roar of those paying for blood-

Deleting pics another narcissistic act Much was made this week Kathartic about one Australian teen’s decision to walk KATHY away from the MICHAELS fake life she built on Instagram. Essena O’Neill’s story goes as so: She wanted validation, so she made her friends and family take flattering photos of her and posted them to Instagram so strangers who saw them would”like” her. In time she built a 612,000-plus person following, so she was paid for these low rent photoshoots by advertisers who wanted to hock their wares. Thousands of dollars were put in her tiny pockets in a process that ultimately made her feel sad, and empty. Hungry, too. Because, according to her, there were times she wouldn’t eat, so her stomach looked particularly flat. Oh, the self loathing, she felt. Oh, the shame. Then there was the awakening.

To this her followers said she was brave. A trailblazer—a real Joan of Arc. OK, probably not the last one. Joan of Arc was not on Instagram, but she was brave. O’Neill is not. Nor is her story particularly sad. Want to hear a sad story? Once upon a time there was a girl who thought she had a way with words, so she spent an unseemly amount of money on a journalism degree. Not too long after graduation she had her byline in a newspaper with a 2,000-home circulation and she and the pulpy product she loved had a glorious, two-week honeymoon period. Then she learned that large vegetables, school board meetings and varying forms of glitz and glamour that defines community news, also comes with a heavy rotation of angry letters from grammarians and retired teachers who like to dust off their HB pencils to point out any and all mistakes.

Letters
Thanks owed to Harper government To the editor: The preponderance of published letters and editorials damn Stephen Harper and shines a glowing light on all things Liberal or “progressive.” Remember the Liberals only received 39 per cent of the votes; 61 per cent of voters rejected them, more wanted someone else, than wanted Liberals. History habitually repeats itself; we need to fear the repeat of the tradition of Liberal patronage. Current example is sending a large contingent of “in favour” people to the Paris UN Climate conference. Remember the Liberal-appointed Governor General, CBC employee Adrian Clarkson, and her many junkets with a plane load of friends and family to see the world? Remember Chretien and the trip to Africa where he signed the Kyoto Agreement without any Parliamentary approval or debate? The current estimate to renovate 24 Sussex Drive is $100,000,000; the last Liberal in charge did major renovations not that long ago. Did they use inferior contractors, or is the real plan, we the people, simply build a new palace for the prince? Chretien created a $500,000,000 penalty to cancel a helicopter deal made by his predecessor, dooming our service men and women to using the accident-prone, highly dangerous, Sea Kings for decades beyond
their shelf life. No regard for the military then. Contrast that with the use of Business Development Bank (then FBDB) money to renovate Chretien’s private golf club contrary to the bank’s rules. Remember the millions of dollars in ‘ad scam’ money to Liberal insiders and the politically-stifled criminal investigation that followed, and the disgraced Liberal politicians given patronage appointments as ambassadors or trade commissioners. We had a made in Canada recession during 1980-1984 when Trudeau Sr., with Marc Lalonde’s National Energy Program plunging Alberta and B.C. into recession, dragging the rest of Canada along with them. It was done by confiscating the first 25 per cent of all petroleum produced, such that operating well costs exceeded the remaining 75 per cent of gross revenue bankrupting much of the industry, and driving most of the industry’s capital exploratory equipment out of Canada. The West remembers the “finger” to us from the train by Trudeau Sr. and we remember the infamous “Fuddle Duddel” [sic] cover up for obscene words spoken in anger to the Western Canadian citizens. The transgressions of past Liberal governments put the $16 orange Juice and the $90,000 cheque to [Senator Mike] Duffy into perspective as minor issues ethically
dealt with by the legal system taking its course, unlike the Liberal approach—where patronage and cover-up is just fine. Canada thrived during 2008 -2013, the worst recession since the 1929-1937 Great Depression, because of good fiscal management. During this worldwide recession, many special interest and single purpose groups did not get money handed to them they demanded. The Conservative government focus was on key major public policies, studied carefully, set into budgets, debated in Parliament and implemented to accomplish the maximum benefit for the most Canadians. We have gotten greater security through better criminal sentencing and crime rates are falling. As a nation, economically and now more secure from criminal activity, we are far better off than we were in 2005 when the Conservatives took over government. Thank you to Stephen Harper and the many quality MPs who worked for Canada and ultimately every Canadian, may Mr. Trudeau do as well. We deserve continued responsible governance; not a return to the reckless tax, borrow and spend ways of the past Liberal government, as they promised in this election campaign. Doug Waines, Kelowna
Publishing controversial Narcissism letter taken as endorsement
To the editor: I was really disappointed to see the Capital News choose the letter by Marlene Metlowsky as the Letter of the Week (Look After Our Own Before Refugees, Oct. 30). It’s particularly disheartening after our new Prime Minister has espoused “sunny ways” to unite us, and a letter such as this does nothing but continue to divide us. Ms. Metlowsky refers to immigrants and refugees as “these people.” However, unless she is First Nations, she is also “these people.” At some point one of her ancestors applied, and was accepted into, this great country. Regarding the cost, many of the refugees are being privately sponsored by big-hearted businesses, churches and individuals. No elderly or disabled person will be shortchanged because we’re bringing in refugees. This is misinformed fear-mongering. I’m disheartened the Capital News would
sport entertainment. At a recent WHL hockey game our 1hometown Rockets entertained us with some fast-action, skilled play until gloves were allowed, by officials, to drop. Given the laxity of rules, the officials are bound, by implicit consent of the management, to allow such mayhem. In the Nov. 3 edition of [Kelowna’s daily paper] our blood lust is further entertained by a three column spread glorifying the event, while detailing the trading of punches. The true result; Two key Kelowna players were seriously injured and unable to continue play. A third player was luckily able to continue after he “iced his knuckles in the penalty box.” The true fact: Each of these young players and their parents have signed waivers that

Playing their hearts out for no wages and little thanks, these are courageous but vulnerable young men. (While perhaps not an apt analogy, one is reminded of the world of Fagan in Dicken’s Oliver.) The coach’s recorded comment: “It’s part of hockey. Good on him for doing it—that’s a testament to his character. Good on those guys for dropping the gloves.” Would you send your child to a school where the teacher gave such encouragement to pupils on the playground? Why not? After all, you could probably raise more money from tickets than with a school bake sale. Such are the questions of this season ticket holder. Ya gotta wonder! Ian Sisett, Kelowna

Potential seen in railway trails MARKETING FROM A9 Judas said Whistler is an example of a ski resort evolving into a yearround tourist playground, to where summer revenues out-pace the ski season. “It can be an issue with a fishery, with weather and storms, forest fires. As an industry we have to be aware and prepare for the inevitable, and try to mitigate the impacts,” he said. Judas thinks one key, given that few resorts have Whistler’s marketing resources, is that they have nature that will attract tourists. Mandziuk said TOTA is placing a lot of emphasis on the development of the Kettle Valley Railway, from Christina Lake in the Kootenays to
“Being an old railway the trail is relatively flat, it’s not treacherous to walk along and it gives people walking a chance to get immersed in nature, to have that experience.” Mandziuk cited the example of the famous El Camino de Santiago trail in Spain which generates millions in tourism benefits for the communities connected to the historic pilgrimage route. “People walk that trail for spiritual or health reasons, but many communities along that trail wouldn’t exist today without it and the tourism it brings. “When I look at the potential of the (CN) trail, I think of what a shot in the arm it could be for a community like Oyama to build tourism industry growth.”
Hope, as an outdoor experience that tourists are looking for. He said that rail corridor offers potential tourism benefits to all the communities along the Kettle Valley corridor, and is an outdoor experience that tourism surveys indicate consumers want to have. For that reason, the efforts to develop the CN Corridor between Vernon and Kelowna, also has the attention of TOTA. “That project is on our radar as well, although not as far along at this point as Kettle Valley. But we are a strong supporter of the (CN Corridor) trail because that is what consumers are telling us they want,” Mandziuk said. “The beautiful thing about the (CN Corridor) is it is easily accessible.

UBC Okanagan professor Nancy Holmes is currently collecting Gaillardia (blanket flower) seed for an interesting community art project. If you can harvest and save Gaillardia seed for her, she will pick it up to store for paper-making workshops. Contact her at nancy.holmes@ubc.ca or 250-764-9666. Workshop participants will be embedding hand-made paper with Gaillardia seeds. It is an excellent plant for this area—drought-tolerant, friendly to pollinators, and a vigorous long-season bloomer. Nancy explains the project: “The art show, For All is For Yourself, was launched in September 2015 at the Richmond Art Gallery with 10,000 paper bumblebees embedded with Gaillardia seeds. “Five thousand of those paper bees will be swarming out of the gallery in mid-winter for Richmond people to plant in their gardens. The remaining five thousand bees will be coming to Kelowna. “From February to April, we’ll be making our five thousand Gaillardiaembedded bees here in Kelowna.” If you belong to a community group that would like to make the paper, please contact her. This is part of a series of projects held in conjunction with the creation of a Public Art Pollinator Pasture in a section of the Brent’s Mill Heritage Park. The native and dryland plant meadow will benefit a multitude of essential pollinators (including bees, butterflies, and birds) using community art as the driver for critical community engagement and site transformation. For more information check blogs.ubc.ca/ theecoartincubator/ public-art-pollinatorpasture/. If you are collecting seed for yourself, make sure to let it dry out thoroughly. Store seeds in labeled paper envelopes or bags in a cool, dry place. Many seeds need to be stratified, or go through a freeze cycle before they will break dormancy. This can be achieved by storing them in an

A simpler way is to plant them now if they are from hardy plants that survive our winter, or seeds such as marigolds that tend to self-seed in the garden. The fall planted seeds will germinate and begin growing when they are ready, utilizing the moist soil of early spring. A lovely gift can be
made by saving your own flower seeds, then sealing them into little hand decorated envelopes with the plant name and description. These could also be made by children and are an easy gift to send in the mail. *** Last week I forgot to tell you to rake up all walnut leaves and put them in the green bin.

Frank Mills, called “Mr. Music Box Dancer” in recognition of his huge piano instrumental hit in 1976. Today, Mills is still touring, sharing his memories of more than 40 years in the music business on the road and recording albums. Now some 40 years later Frank Mills enjoys meeting his loyal fans once again as well as next generation of fans and piano players who are just discovering his music. Early childhood influences had a hand in preparing Mills for events that led to his International stature and renown as a composer/ arranger/pianist. Music was a familiar presence in the Mills household in 1942, when Frank was born. His mother was a piano player, his dad a businessman who was also known for his rousing Irish tenor. His sister took piano lessons and it was from listening to her practice he began to master the piano by ear. Still later he took up the trombone, playing in the school band and becoming perhaps even more proficient at this second instrument. During his teen years, his family life virtually disintegrated as both his parents, who had been ill from the time of Mills’ earliest memories, died of cancer by the time he was 17.

Frank Mills composed Music Box Dancer, a song which was a piano arrangement with no singing that became the number one song on the pop music charts of 26 countries. in music continued at McGill University in Montreal, but not without one of the whimsical manoeuvrings of fate that were to become commonplace in his musical career. He, actually, began studies as a pre-med student, but, alas, did not fare well academically. It was on his way to the Navy recruitment office, he ran into a friend in the music faculty, who talked him into taking the entrance exam to the university’s music department. He scored 98 per cent on the exam and found his life’s calling. In 1971 his professional music career got its first taste of success as a member of the Canadian group The Bells, whose recording “Stay A While” went to Number 1 on the US and Canadian music charts. It was as a piano player with The Bells, Frank Mills, developed his unique personal style of playing up high on the keyboard “in self defence,” as he says. “I had to compete with two electric guitars, an acoustic guitar, an electric bass and a drum kit. It’s
the only place I could hear myself.” Frank left The Bells in 1971 to focus his talents on making an instrumental album of his own compositions. Within months of its release in Canada, he had his first personal hit, “Love Me, Love Me, Love” which sold over 100,00 copies and launched his solo career. In 1973, he recorded another album on his own which was initially leased to a recording label that dissolved in bankruptcy, forcing his effort to lie in limbo for several years. As frustrating as that course of events seemed at the time, good fortune was to be the result. On the dormant album, a track named “The Music Box Dancer” resided unnoticed. “When I composed the song, I was searching for a title. One day my young daughter came to me with a broken music box to mend. There was a little dancer who popped up and spun around on a pedestal. Her arm was broken off. As I looked at I said, “That’s what the song is, it’s the ‘Music Box Dancer!’”
In 1976, Polydor records, which he had recorded for earlier, leased that “dormant” album for distribution at the same time releasing a single off it for airplay. Polydor chose a lush, romantic ballad, “The Poet and Me” as the “A” side and “a little funny piano tune” titled “Music Box Dancer” on the flip. “The flip” was to play the most crucial and important part in the resurgence and eventual worldwide success of Mills career. “Music Box Dancer” became the Number 1 record in 26 countries selling millions of singles along the way. The album sold well over two million copies remunerating Mills handsomely as he wrote, arranged, conducted and recorded it himself. Since it was a “master lease” deal, he owned the entire project. “To this day I do not consider myself a piano player. There are guys in the classics that can play circles around me, any time. But then I never have competed with them. It’s sort of like saying, ‘Well, Garth Brooks isn’t competing with Pavarotti.’And that’s the business.” Frank Mills now fully spends and enjoys his home in Vermont, while his other more southern home is in the Bahamas.

Daniel Craig returns as James Bond in Spectre.
Bond franchise revives sinister organization in Spectre Back in the early days of the James Bond Movie Guy movies, the criminal organization Spectre was the major nemesis of the British Secret RICK DAVIS Service. It has not appeared in a Bond movie since 1971’s Diamonds are Forever (except for the “unofficial” 1983 Bond movie Never Say Never Again), mainly due to a copyright dispute that had to do with 1965's Thunderball (and its remake, the aforementioned Never Say Never Again). And although 1981’s For Your Eyes Only had an opening sequence that featured a character that looked like Blofeld, the leader of Spectre, he was never referred to by name. Now, 44 years later Spectre is back and is the title of the 24th Bond outing. Daniel Craig returns as Britain’s most famous spy who receives a cryptic message from the past that sends him on a rogue mission to Mexico City and eventually Rome. Bond infiltrates a secret meeting and uncovers the existence of the sinister organization known as Spectre. There is a lot of interesting trivia coming out of this outing, but what is most fascinating is how Bond is really starting to look like the best of the early movies mixed in with what has made the modern movies popular and exciting. Blue Sky Studios, the creators of Ice Age and Rio, is helping celebrating the 65th anniversary of Charles Schulz’s classic comic strip by making The Peanuts Movie.

generated 3D. This is the first bigscreen appearance of The Peanuts since 1980’s Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown and Schulz’s death in 2000. And although the family decided not to create any new comic strips after that, the movie’s story was developed by his son Craig Schulz and grandson Bryan Schulz. The story revolves around the world’s most beloved underdog, Charlie Brown, embarking on an epic and heroic quest while his best pal, the lovable beagle Snoopy, takes to the skies to pursue his arch-enemy, the Red Baron. While it would be impossible to have the original voices of the Peanuts gang, the filmmakers have been able to re-use old recordings of the late Bill Melendez, who was the one and only voice of Snoopy and Woodstock. Walt Disney’s ambitious masterpiece Fantasia is celebrating its 75th anniversary and local fans will get a chance to see it again this weekend. Featuring an exclusive introduction and performance by The Philadelphia Orchestra, it's on screen for one show only at Landmark Cinemas Grand 10 on Sunday, Nov. 8, 12:55 p.m. And finally, on Remembrance Day, Elevation Pictures and Landmark Cinemas is giving everyone a chance to see Paul Gross’ Hyena Road for free.

musical subculture sounds to Kelowna. THEATRE Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike Fred Skeleton Theatre Nov. 6-7, Nov. 12-14 Creekside Theatre 10241 Bottom Wood Lake Rd. Lake Country The Fred Skeleton Theatre Company will bring the Broadway hit Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike to Lake Country next month. Described as “deliriously funny” by the New York Times, the play showcases dysfunctional sibling rivalries as Vanya and Sonia deal with their movie star sister Masha and her brawny boyfriend Spike. The Fred Skeleton crew, coming off their win for Best Production at this year’s Okanagan Zone Festival, have been on the look-out for a Tony Award winning comedy. “We were ecstatic with the reception we got for the dramatic performances in Our Country’s Good,” said director Rob MasonBrown, referring to
the theatre company’s previous play. “But it’s an exhausting experience, and once it was over we said, ‘Okay, let’s do something outrageous, and let’s have some fun with it.’” The numerous title roles are played by veterans Stephen Jefferys, Kim Fournier, Peter Macleod, and Dorothy Dalba, the 2013 Ozone Festival winner for Best Actress. Tickets can be purchased by phone from the Creekside Theatre, 250-766-5669 or online at fredskeleton.com CONCERT Big Sugar Saturday, Nov. 7 Mary Irwin Theatre at the Rotary Centre for the Arts 421 Cawston Ave. Kelowna Big Sugar has found a connection between rock’n roll and reggae musically that has propelled the group into a mainstay in the Canadian music scene.

Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com
The entire season has led to this point. On Saturday, the Okanagan Sun will take on the Saskatoon Hilltops in Saskatoon for the Canadian Bowl, the ultimate prize of the Canadian Junior Football League. The Sun are coming off the heels of a dominant regular and post season that saw them go undefeated and outscore their opponents 617 to 115 en route to their first British Columbia Football Conference championship and Canadian Bowl appearance since 2004. The Sun have won the Canadian Bowl twice before, with victories in 1988 and 2000, with
the second win coming against the Hilltops in Kelowna. There is one historical stat that is against the Sun; they’ve never won on the prairies before. However, head coach Shane Beatty doesn’t care about that. What he does care about is the matchup. “We’re a strong team, we matchup well, it just depends how physical they want to be and how physical we want to be,” he said. “We’ve gotta stop their run. And no one’s gone in there and beaten them (referring to the Sun on the prairies) but it’s been minus fifteen, minus twenty. It’s going to be nine degrees on Saturday, it’s gonna be like we’re playing in Florida.”

Sun up for ultimate prize in jr football
Okanagan Sun offensive lineman Josh Troman (66, left) and Ryan Wengelinksi (68, middle) and the rest of the offensive line will be tasked with protecting the Sun quarterback during the Canadian Bowl on Saturday. Beatty feels great heading into the game, as the players are excited and very focused. Although they know this is a big game for the program, the Sun is approaching the championship tilt just like every other one of their 12 games this season. “We’ve gotta stop number 21,” Beatty
explained, referring to Hilltops running back Logan Fischer, who ran for 794 yards and five touchdowns on 94 regular season carries. “They’re physical, they’re big upfront and they’re well coached. We’ve gotta stop 21 and then make them pass. We’ve got a couple double coverages for their big
receiver, they’ve got a 6’5” 230 pound receiver we’re going to have to double up a couple times and show some different coverages, through some different looks at the quarterback. But we’ve gotta stop the run first.” After losing in the British Columbia Football Conference finals last season, the Sun’s goal
this year was to win its division; something it accomplished with an emphatic exclamation point. “It feels great for us and the program, it’s vindication of all the hard work the kids have put in,” Beatty described. “It’s a great feeling, it’s just not enough. It’s not finished, we know we
can go in there and beat these guys.” While the Sun were dominant throughout the season, they have been hearing from the prairie teams that they simply played in a weak division. But for Beatty and all of the players, that talk is nothing more than bulletin board material.
Dube to join Merkley as Team WHL hosts Russia Kelowna Rockets forward Dillon Dube has been added to the Team WHL roster for Monday’s opening game of the 2015 Canada-Russia series to be held at Prospera Place in Kelowna. Dube, 17 and in his second season with the Rockets and already with 10 goals and 13 assists in the just 14 games played, will join Nick Merkley as the two Rockets that are on the team. Fellow Rockets player Rourke Chartier was initially named to Team WHL but will be held out of the game due to injury. Hockey Canada announced Dube’s addition to the roster on Wednesday with the Rockets on the road,
travelling to Portland for a pair of weekend games. “It’s exciting,” said Dube. “I didn’t expect it this year with my age but it’s a big opportunity for me to try and prove I can play with the older guys. It’s definitely going to be a big step for me but I’m going to try and enjoy it.” Merkley, drafted by the Arizona Coyotes in the summer, says it’s a great opportunity to show what he can do to Team Canada officials looking to build the next version of Canada’s World Junior hockey team. And all the better: He can do it in front of his hometown fans at Prospera Place in Kelowna on Monday.
“It’s going to be pretty cool to be playing at home in front of our fans,” said Merkley of Monday’s upcoming contest at Prospera Place. “I think it’s going to be a good game. There’s a rivalry there so I think both teams are going to play hard and hopefully we get the win.” Merkley and Dube will hit the ice on Monday in the opening game of the six game Canada-Russia Series. Kamloops will host the second game Nov. 10. Merkley says the game will be a time to put aside rivalries within the WHL and join forces with players that are normally on opposition sides. “You just have to put the regular season aside for a bit and bond together quickly,” said Merkley. “You
meet a lot of the guys at a lot of different events throughout the year so it’s going to be good to see those guys again.” Hockey Canada uses the CanadaRussia series—formerly known as the Subway Super Series—as a way to evaluate players on the way to naming Team Canada that will compete in the World Junior Hockey Championships, this year taking place in Finland over Christmas. The head coach of Team Canada this year is Victoria Royals head coach Dave Lowry, who will be behind the bench guiding Team WHL on Monday. Lowry says it’s going to be an exciting series and one of his
challenges is getting players to play different roles than what they are used to on their club teams. “This is a collection of the best players in our league and it’s always enjoyable when you have the best players,” said Lowry. “The challenge is trying to get guys to understand in these games they might not have the chance to play on the power play when they always play on the power play with their club team.” Game one of the 2015 CanadaRussia Series is Monday Nov. 9 at Prospera Place. There are tickets ($25 or $20 per ticket) still available for the game through Select Your Tickets online, at the Prospera Place box office of by phone at 250-762-5050.

Heat b’ball starts regular season Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com
The UBCO Heat men’s and women’s basketball teams look to start their season with a pair of wins this weekend when they travel to Abbotsford to take on the University of the Fraser Valley. Each team will play UFV on Friday and Saturday in what should prove to be a challenging matchup, especially for the men. The UFV men’s team is coming off a 17-win season that saw them finish first in the Explorer
Division, while UBCO finished last in the same division a year ago with just four wins. Although the men’s program is coming off a difficult season, there is plenty of optimism as they head into this double header. The Heat is a very young team with seven of its 14 players starting only their second year and they went 4-2 in the preseason, matching last year’s season win total. “So far in practise, they’ve all made jumps and I’m really proud of them,” head coach
Pete Guarasci said of his second year players. “I think last year was more about getting exposure to this level and understanding the work it takes to succeed at this level. Now it’s time to transfer that into games. That’s where our focus is, and I’ve told the whole team, especially that group, that I want to see a big growth year.” Forward Cameron Friesen noted the team can’t wait to get the season started. “It’s going to feel great, we’ve been putting in a

lot of work in practices over the last two months now,” he said. “We’ve had a good preseason, so we’re going to try to carry our momentum into these season games.” With a tough matchup to start the season for the men, Guarasci wants to see his players compete on every possession and execute their game plan.

The women went 3-5 in the preseason after finishing with a 7-18 record a season ago, and Meadows is very happy with how the team performed in the exhibition games. She noted her players are feeling confident and they’ve adapted well to the new coach and system. “I think that the main difference from what I’ve gathered is that there’s a little more structure this year,” Meadows described. “We’re running a system that
has a lot of different screening actions, a lot of different read and react decision-making built into it. I’ve thrown a lot at them in a little bit of time, but they’ve adapted well.” Meadows is excited to coach her first regular season game with the Heat, and she believes the team has a good vibe and is ready to go after developing a good foundation last year. Fourth year guard Emily Kanester is also excited to start the season, but with more motivation than most as she missed last season with an ankle
injury. “I’m super ready to go and get back out there,” she explained. “We’ve got some new players and a new coach, I think it’s really exciting for everyone.” Kanester added they learned a lot from the preseason from playing a variety of teams, and they’re ready to go. The women play UFV at 6 p.m. on Friday and 5 p.m. on Saturday at Envision Athletic Centre in Abbotsford, while the men play at 8 p.m. on Friday and 7 p.m. on Saturday.

Owls soar to valley title well for the future.” KSS will be the Okanagan’s top seed for the provincial championship which will be held Nov. 12 to 14 in Duncan and Shawnigan Lake. “I think if we finish in the top eight at provincials, that’s kind of what we’re shooting for,” said Bernhardsson. “If we put the right amount of good games together, we might be able to finish higher. That would be a bonus.” Bernhardsson said any one of six schools could be a contender for the provincial title. Last season, KSS placed fourth at the B.C. championship.

The Kelowna Owls faced little resistance on the way to winning their 10th Okanagan Valley AAA girls field hockey title in the last 11 years. The Owls took care of business Saturday on the CNC turf with a 14-0 win over the Mt. Boucherie Bears in the valley championship. One of the province’s youngest teams, the Owls have five seniors on the roster, just one Grade 11 player and 10 rookies. Overall, KSS has posted a 12-12 record with seven ties this season. “We’re very young team, with a lot good homegrown talent,” said said Owls coach Arnar Bernhardsson. “It bodes

in Langley and brought some of the best dancers from across Western Canada together, vying for a position on the team to represent Canada at the world level. All five local dancers compete out of the Lake Country School of Dance. Team Canada Dance national director Bonnie Dyer has selected Lisa Dew of Lisa’s School of Dance in Langley to choreograph the Canadian National Tap Team in Western Canada. The International Dance Organization (IDO) is a world federation with a membership of over 90 nations that represents more than 250,000 dancers from six continents.
The best dancers from around the world will be competing for the World Championship title. Last year Canada’s children’s and adult teams placed in the top 10, while the junior team finished in the top five. The honour for the local dancers comes with a lot of hard work and dedication. Not only do they train and practise at their home studio for many hours each week, but they are required to travel to Langley for the Team Canada practices. According to the Lake Country School of Dance, each dancer is also required to raise their own funds to cover all costs to attend the World Championships.

Trudeau made sure he added some veteran help to soften the changes in Ottawa, appointing some well known faces to the list. Stephane Dion, in charge of Foreign Affairs, served as Jean Chretien’s intergovernmental affairs minister and Paul Martin’s environment minister. He also led the Liberal party from 2006 to 2008. Former astronaut Marc Garneau, who ran for the Liberal leadership in 2013 and bowed out of the race to support Trudeau, was named Minister of Transport which is logical. Popular Ralph Goodale, from Regina, is back in the saddle with the Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness portfolio. The former finance minister has held several cabinet postings during his political career, again serving under both Paul Martin and Jean Chretien. For now, one can safely say Trudeau’s first cabinet probably best reflects the culture and diversity of Canada like no other cabinet before. Some will question if Trudeau has gone too far in trying to display his ability for openness and inclusivity as a leader. Others may question the wisdom he shows by
attempting to balance a cabinet makeup with equal parts gender, race, religion at the expense of picking the best people for the ministry positions. Some might even suggest his choices are naïve or simply a public relations stunt. I am not among them. I believe Trudeau’s selections were made with great thought and purpose. While there may prove to be a few weak links in the chain, it is a strong binding start between government and the public. Make no bones, there will be changes if some appointments don’t work out. When those changes are necessary, Trudeau will be more prepared to fill the holes with appropriate selections, having had an opportunity to get to know the many new faces in his Liberal caucas. For the virgin prime minister, he can only hope his new team gets off to a good start because the honeymoon does not last long with Canadian voters. Trudeau would be wise to relish these few weeks of riding the wave of euphoria because as many former prime ministers—including his father and certainly his predecessor Stephen Harper—might attest to, in Canadian politics you are just one step from the jungle to the zoo.

HEALTH FORUM
Looking after aching joints
We expect a lot from our bodies, and sometimes the smallest parts are the unsung heroes of our day-to-day mobility. Our joints are a good example. They are parts of the body that often don’t get enough attention—not only for their importance but also in terms of how we manage them. As HealthLink B.C. explains, joints occur where at least two bones meet and they allow the bones to move with respect to one another. The elbow, for instance, is the joint between the one upper and two lower bones of the arm. It allows for safe, smooth and efficient repeated movement between the bones. Joints are made up of several parts including cartilage, muscles, ligaments, joint fluid and bursa—and each one is needed to allow the joint sto function properly. The elbow, for instance, is the joint between the one upper and two lower bones of the arm. It allows for safe, smooth and efficient repeated movement between the bones. Joints are made up of several parts including cartilage, muscles, ligaments, joint fluid and bursa—and each one is needed to allow the joint to function properly. Joints can be damaged by many types of injuries or diseases including arthritis, bursitis and dislocations. Arthritis, an inflammation of a joint, is fairly common but not well-understood. There are different types of arthritis with causes as varied as genetics, previous injury, excess weight, virus, and more. Arthritis causes pain, stiffness, and swelling and over time, the joint can become severely damaged. The Arthritis Society notes there are more than 650,000 men, women and children living with arthritis in the B.C. and Yukon region. Given that statistic, I felt it was timely to hold a community health forum on joint health featuring three informative speakers. That upcoming public
MLA’s Report NORM LETNICK Nov. 10, from 7 to 9 p.m., in room H115 of the Health Education Building at Okanagan College. The forum will offer some insights from health professionals on how better to look after our joints. Admission is free, and no registration is required. Among the guest speakers will be Norm Hanso, who works in Kelowna General Hospital’s physiotherapy department, and has been the Professional Practice Lead for Physiotherapy since 2012. He will speak to health care for acute flairups and general joint
wellness. Heidi Howay has been the patient care coordinator of the Arthroplasty Surgical Optimization Clinic for Interior Health since 2008. She will speak to promote health literacy, patient self-management and action planning, establishing continuity of care, and limiting postoperative complications. Megan Smaha will speak from the heart about her experience with inflammatory arthritis, which forced to leave her job as a Registered Nurse with the B.C. Cancer Agency. After a number of surgeries, she turned to the Arthritis Society’s Kelowna office to learn strategies to help control her chronic pain while
adjusting to her new life as a patient rather than a nurse. This volunteer speaker has been leading workshops since 2009 and enjoys being able to help others explore selfmanagement techniques to support their medical care. The B.C. and Yukon Division of the Arthritis Society has three regional learning centres located throughout the province, stocked with resources on arthritis and wellnessrelated topics which can be borrowed for up to three weeks at a time. The local Interior regional office can be found at 260A-1855 Kirschner Rd. in Kelowna or by calling 250-8688643.

New documentary tells story of Holocaust survival A showing of the documentary “No Place On Earth” will take place at the Okanagan College Theatre on Monday, Nov. 9. The film recalls the true story of how a Jewish woman Yetta Stermer and her extended family of 38 survived the Second World War by hiding from the Nazis for 500 days in a 77-mile long underground cave in Eastern Ukraiine. Their story of survival is unique given that 95
per cent of the Jewish population in that region didn’t survive. “This is a story about how heaven and hell trade places,”said the film’s director Janet Tobias. “They found safety in the caves. The monsters were outside. Their world was turned upside down.” The documentary had its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival and has been distributed worldwide.
Stermer passed away last year but her son Saul Katz, a Kelowna resident and entrepreneur, will give an introduction to the film. Katz said it is a story of survival, and a reminder of why it is important to fight prejudice in our world. A reception will start at 7 p.m., and the film will be screened at 8 p.m.

National Philanthropy Day luncheon to honour local ‘world changers’ Mike Roberts and the Okanagan chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals will host the organization’s inaugural National Philanthropy Day Luncheon at Harvest Golf Club in Kelowna on Friday, Nov. 13. Intended to become an annual event, this awards luncheon will celebrate National Philanthropy Day, recognized across Canada on Sunday, Nov. 15. The luncheon, already sold out for tickets, will honour and acknowledge outstanding achievements by individuals, foundations and organizations who contribute their time, talent and resources
celebrating philanthropy and highlighting the accomplishments, large and small, that philanthropy makes to enrich our society. The Okanagan chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals, which formed in 2014, and represents more than 30 fundraisers, supports National Philanthropy Day. “There’s a reason the tagline for National Philanthropy Day is ‘change the world with a giving heart,’” said Harold Menzel, president of the AFP Okanagan chapter. “As fundraisers, we have the privilege of witnessing every day how people are making
to the philanthropic community in the Okanagan and beyond. “I’ve always enjoyed contributing to our community and seeing how one small act of giving can have a big impact,” said Mike Roberts, who for 40 years was a television story teller, weatherman and community advocate for CHBC and then Global Okanagan. “I’m so pleased to be helping host this special event to honour people in our community who are making a real difference.” In 2012, Canada was the first country to officially recognize National Philanthropy Day—set aside for
a difference through philanthropy. By honouring those who are changing the world with their generosity, we can help inspire others to do the same, Menzel said. “It’s also a great way for us to say thank you,” he added. “As a community we can come together and publicly thank the volunteers and donors for everything they do to make a positive impact in our community.” For more information on National Philanthropy Day check out the website afpokanagan. afpnet.org.

Drive responsibly and obtain adequate insurance A cube-shaped Nissan, parked in front of a neighbour’s house caught my attention as I was on my way home the other day. My neighbour was chatting with the driver, so I pulled up to ask about it. The vehicle, which doesn’t look much different than a large SUV, boasts a 12-person seating capacity. As a parent of three school-aged children, seating capacity is important to me. When shopping for our most recent vehicle, our choice hinged in large part on the eight-person seating capacity of our chosen vehicle. But what are the legal implications, though, of having so many “bums in seats,” if there is a crash? The obvious practical implication is the higher the vehicle occupancy, the more people are susceptible to injury. When high capacity vehicles are being used to ferry children around, those extra people are likely to be children. These practical implications weigh in favour of taking extra special care to ensure there isn’t a crash. As I type those words, though, I find them somewhat repugnant— would you really drive
Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT less carefully with two children passengers versus eight? What if you are driving with zero passengers. Are you driving with the least level of care because it’s “just you?” What if you crash into another vehicle loaded with children? The legal implications flow from the practical implications. More injured victims mean more people who suffer injuries and losses. Losses suffered by children, with their entire lives/careers ahead of them, can be significantly greater than for adults. The greater the losses flowing from a crash, the more money is required to provide fair, financial compensation for those losses. Where does that compensation come from? In our province, where the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia has a monopoly over liability insurance, it comes from ICBC. An important thing to recognize, however, is that ICBC’s obligation to step in and pay fair compensation to those

you injure extends only to the limit of your liability insurance. Whatever level of liability insurance you choose to purchase for your vehicle, you will be personally responsible to pay any amount of fair compensation that exceeds that level. Did you know that if you let someone else drive your car, you join the driver in sharing that personal responsibility? The law allows you to carry as little as $200,000 of liability insurance in British Columbia. Will that be enough to fairly compensate the occupants of an eightseater vehicle loaded with children who have suffered significant injuries and losses? Fair compensation for injuries and losses is
regularly assessed by our courts, and assessments for only one injured victim regularly exceed that. Often the assessments approach or exceed $1 million. If you carry insufficient liability insurance, it is not only you who suffer direct consequences. Unless you are in the top one per cent of independently wealthy Canadians, you will be unlikely to come up with the shortfall which will leave your victims undercompensated. It would be quite bad enough that you caused a crash resulting in a vehicle-load of children being injured. Leaving those children with less than fair financial compensation for their lifetimes of losses adds horrible insult to injury. Go to your insurance broker and inquire about
increasing the liability insurance you carry on your vehicle. You will find that an increase to $5 million is not terribly expensive. I am hopeful that this column might assist you and others
in understanding the magnitude of losses that can arise from road traffic incidents, thereby resulting in a greater level of driving care and reduction of crashes in the first place. If a crash does occur,
please ensure that both you and your victims are protected by adequate insurance. Paul Hergott is a personal injury lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

invites the public to post photos of themselves with their adopted pet (or a picture of the pet on its own) on the BC SPCA Facebook page (www.
facebook.com/bcspca). Posting a photo will automatically enter participants to win a new iPad Air, donated by TELUS, and using the
hashtag #oneinamillion shows you’re a proud BC SPCA adoptive parent, whether past or present. Everyone is invited to visit the Facebook photo gallery to view pictures of adopters and adoptees —what the organization is playfully referring to as BC SPCA alumni—over the past 60-some years. “This is the BC SPCA’s 120th year in operation but the society didn’t start its adoption program until the 1950s when it began building animal shelters across the province,” said SPCA general manager of community relations Lorie Chortyk. “We are very excited that we will be adopting out our one millionth animal this month, but we also want to recognize and honour the 999,999 other people who provided wonderful, loving homes for the animals we’ve rescued over the past decades.” To enter the #oneinamillion photo contest, simply go to the BC SPCA Facebook page until Nov. 20 and click on the ‘photo contest’ tab near the top.

Spectacular ocean views are the visitor’s reward at the Carmel Highlands Inn.
History, ocean meet in Carmel, California Allen Pierleoni contributor
CARMEL HIGHLANDS, Calif.—A cooling fog rolled in that afternoon, followed by a late-night storm that steamed in off the Pacific. For hours the sky boomed and flashed as a waterfall of rain drenched the rocky shoreline and heavily forested hills of this coastal stretch known as the Gateway to Big Sur. Earlier that day, humidity and a blazing white sun made things unseasonably warm as we turned off Highway 1 and up a steep driveway to the Carmel Highlands Inn, which is really two adjoining properties under one umbrella—a Hyatt hotel and a timeshare “residence club.” The inn is four miles from Carmel and a short hike from Point Lobos State National Reserve. Non-guests are invited to stop by for a look-see, a bite and a bike rental. The charmingly retro inn opened in 1917 and rented “cabins in the Monterey pine forest.”
At the time, owner J. Frank Devendorf told The Monterey Herald that his inn “combined the rustic qualities of its setting, yet offered travelers all the luxury that the progress of the new century could offer.” After various ownerships and several expansions, the 48-room hotel became a Hyatt property in 1995. A year ago, it and the adjoining timeshare—94 condominiums that are rented as available—were purchased by Interval Leisure Group of Miami. It has a longterm licensing agreement to run the hotel under the Hyatt brand. The buildings form a well-landscaped 11-acre oasis that has long resisted the trend among many older hotels to “sanitize” much of their character in the name of modernization. Still, some of the structures have looked dated for a while. To keep up, the condos were “gently remodeled” two years ago, with grander updates in the works for the hotel, said managing director Mel Bettcher.
“We’re planning renovations of the hotel rooms, the restaurants and the lobby area, but absolutely we’re looking to preserve our rustic coastal feel and enhance what we’ve been building on for the past 10 years,” Bettcher said. The project is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2016. The Highlands Inn has been a special destination for generations of Californians, and for the celebrities-of-the-day who have stayed and played here over the decades— Ansel Adams, Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, Julia Child, Robert Redford, Steven Tyler and Christina Aguilera among them. One of the hotel’s primary draws has long been as a wedding and honeymoon destination. A wedding chapel was part of the grounds from the 1950s through the 1980s (when brunch was $5), and the brass bell that hung in its spire is now an attraction in the lobby. “(Hundreds of) couples young and old came to the romantic retreat to exchange and renew their wedding
vows,” reads the plaque. These days, the hotel hosts about 60 formal ceremonies a year, and their attendant rehearsals, dinners and receptions. The “I do’s” literally take place on an outdoor deck-gazebo that—like everything else here—overlooks the Pacific in dramatic fashion. During our visit, a jubilant wedding reception for 120 guests briefly brought to mind some of the more amusing scenes from Vince Vaughn’s “Wedding Crashers.” A less-stressful and more economical option to a full-on wedding is the midweek Elopement Package for eight to a dozen guests, which includes “romantic evening turn-down service with rose petals, a chilled bottle of champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries.” Weddings aside, the inn’s biggest attractions are its prime location, hidden on a hillside above twisting Highway 1, and its reputation for

sample some of the amenities, including the restaurants, and explore the lush grounds, where trails and stone stairways meander through cypress and color-splashed bougainvillea. We strolled past walls of native stone supporting balconies that look over the ocean on one side and up at the foothills of the Santa Lucia Mountains on the other. Inside the high-ceiling main lodge are the intimate Sunset Lounge (small plates and drinks) and the sprawling woodand-stone Fireside Lounge, where local bands show up to play on Friday and Saturday nights. One evening, the space was packed with exuberant couples showing off the finer points of West Coast swing. The showcase restaurant, the fourstar Pacific’s Edge, was included on USA Today’s list of the nation’s top 10 restaurants with a view. Its wine cellar holds 3,400 bottles. We shared wild mushroom-stuffed ravioli and a chunk of grilled wild salmon, the flesh juicy, the skin as crisp as a cracker. At the more casual California Market bistro, the place to be is on the redwood deck overlooking Yankee Point a few hundred yards offshore. On wet, chilly days, diners can find tables near the pot belly stove inside the dining room, weighty with a 1950s vibe. The small kitchen (which understands the concept of crisp bacon) puts out a staggering amount
of quality food for breakfast and lunch, such as the bananatopped, raspberry-dotted pancakes that were easily the best we’ve tasted. Also, Highlands Inn has a unique program: The public can call ahead and arrange for a picnic to be packed in an old-school wicker basket (for up to four) or a backpack (for two), for $35 a person, with a refundable $50 deposit. Choose your picnic items from a set menu, or custom-create your own lunch, “priced accordingly.” We asked the Catering Department to surprise us, and ended up with prosciutto sandwiches, fresh fruit (raspberries, blueberries, pineapple), salad, cheeses with apricots, strawberries and candied pecans, and other items. All the necessary cutlery was included. Instead of renting bicycles and searching for a suitable picnic site, we drove a short hop to Carmel River State Beach, spread a blanket and listened to the whooshboom of waves on sand. For a while, the world was on hold.

Electromagnetic pollution discussed by biology expert
Master’s of nursing program option at UBCO provides life-time learning opportunities.
A university professor who teaches and does research on the biological effects of electromagnetic energy will be speaking at a forum in Kelowna this month. Magda Havas will give a presentation about the damage that occurs with radio and microwave technologies and WiFi in schools, smart meters and cell phones on Friday, Nov. 13, 7 p.m., at the Evangel Church, 3261 Gordon Dr. Kelowna Safe Meters is the sponsor behind Havas’ visit to Kelowna, saying the forum will be of interest to
Nursing is in Adam Fulton’s blood. Both of his parents (now retired) were registered nurses and when Fulton started thinking about career choices, it was easy to follow in their footsteps. Now a graduate from UBC Okanagan’s undergraduate School of Nursing program, Fulton is a rural emergency room nurse in Napanee, Ontario. While Napanee is a starting place for his career—and a place to work while his fiancée completes her medical residency training— Fulton has already hit the books, working towards his Master’s Degree in Nursing (MSN). Fulton, who grew up in Kelowna, jumped at the chance to begin his graduate studies when he learned that UBC Okanagan’s School of Nursing had revamped its masters program, with newly introduced curriculum options for distance and self-directed learning. “The flexibility offered by this comprehensive delivery method is unique to UBC Okanagan and allows me to maintain a balanced approach to
learning,” he said. “The MSN program teaches students how to critically examine the art of nursing from unique perspectives.” The revised MSN program invites graduate students to map a degree path through full- or parttime studies, allowing baccalaureate prepared nurses to continue with their professional and educational goals, explained graduate program coordinator Kathy Rush. The revised program includes options to complete a capstone project in leadership, education, or advanced practice, or to conduct research with a UBC researcher. For Fulton, however, it’s more about advancing his knowledge and skills to become the best critical care nurse he can be, partly by looking at the way he works with patients and other caregivers. “The program has taught me to better reflect upon attitudes influencing our profession and has enhanced my ability to evaluate my own practice habits and work environment,” he said.

New dimension of caring
Emergency room nurse Adam Fulton, a UBC School of Nursing graduate, is now working on his master’s degree while continuing with his career. “My capacity to question these factors has increased my confidence in advocating for patients and peers.” A true believer in lifetime learning, Fulton, who hopes his career brings him back to the Okanagan, may eventually work towards his PhD. For now, he’s busy with his masters study and the job of caring for his patients, something he
says he feels honoured to do. “As nurses, we possess an ability to be with patients and their families in times of acute need, sharing their stories through our hands and our hearts,” he said. “I was given an opportunity to understand the beauty of nursing from an early age, and I feel privileged to continue what my parents started.”
Documentary about Boston inner city school Good Morning Mission Hill will be presented by the UBC Okanagan Faculty of Education at the Kelowna campus Saturday, Nov. 28, 1 p.m., in the EME (Engineering, Management and Education Building) room 050, 1137 Alumni Ave. The documentary profiles the successful inner workings of a Boston public school. The show is free and will include a panel discussion after the film.

Havas received her PhD from the University of Toronto and currently teaches at Trent University in Peterborough, Ont. Her current research is concerned with the biological effects of electromagnetic pollution including radio frequency radiation, electromagnetic fields, dirty electricity and ground current. Havas works with diabetics as well as individuals with multiple sclerosis, tinnitus, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and those who are electrically hypersensitive.

Volvo’s blast from the past Hollywood style By Keith Morgan
1967 Volvo P1800S Saint.
CONTRIBUTED
Swedish automaker Volvo celebrated 60 years in North America with a special gathering of celebrities and vintage cars at Paramount Pictures Studios in Hollywood. Comedian, and vintage Volvo owner Jay Leno, entertained a crowd of more than 300 Volvo owners, executives, retailers and media amongst an unprecedented collection of new and historic Volvo cars, live music and Scandinavian fare. Notable cars on display included a 1928 PV4, Volvo’s first covered car; a 1955 PV444, the first Volvo exported to the U.S.; the 1967 P1800S driven by Roger Moore in the hit sixties’ television series, “The Saint”; and the all-new, award-winning XC90 sport utility vehicle. Guests explored Volvo’s past and future by visiting a series of Volvo branded shops created in the facades on Paramount’s City Streets back lot. In the Volvo Cars Art

Gallery, for example, was a collection of Julius Shulman-inspired photos starring Volvos past and present taken recently by Ann Street Studios at iconic locations around Los Angeles, where the very first Volvo was imported in 1955. Shulman was an American architectural photographer whose work spread California mid-century modern around the world. Guests perused the collection of vintage Volvo advertisements in the Volvo Cars
History Museum and in the Bowers & Wilkins Listening Room, audiophiles appreciated the high technology powering the 19-speaker, 1,400-watt entertainment system available in the allnew XC90 sport utility. “Volvo has had a special place in many Americans’ hearts for generations,” said Lex Kerssemakers, president and CEO, Volvo Cars of North America. “Maybe they grew up riding in a Volvo, or were saved by one, or perhaps they learned to drive in one. Whatever the case, we are celebrating those experiences and now our version of luxury for generations to come.” Volvo Cars is benefitting from a recent investment of $11billion that is being used to develop an entirely new lineup of luxury vehicles. The company has experienced nine months of consecutive year-over-year growth and is aiming to increase sales to 800,000 cars globally in the medium term. keith.morgan@drivewaybc. ca
Canada’s top auto journalists presented AJAC awards At a gathering of Canada’s leading automotive journalists, Jaguar Land Rover Canada recently presented the Automotive Journalist Association of Canada (AJAC) award. The coveted award was inaugurated in 1984. It aims to “reward excellence in automotive journalism” and is presented by Jaguar Land Rover Canada. A variety of submissions are considered for this award including feature story, car review, general editorial opinion, personal style, and mastery of the subject for all applications of media—print, television, radio and Internet. Judges take into consideration the ‘body of work’ of the journalist, as individual entries for each journalist are grouped together for evaluation of his or her subject matter. Kelly Taylor of the Winnipeg Free Press was this year’s winner and Judges Geneviève Bonin, Jacques Grenier, and Antoine Char, all with extensive journalism and literary backgrounds, admired Taylor’s ability to involve the reader directly and completely in all of his stories, with a clear exposition
Rob Beintema
of facts and strong human interest elements. They also admired his tendency to give readers the facts and allow them to make up their own minds in each review without any preconceptions. The first runner-up in the Journalist of the Year competition, Mark Richardson of the Toronto Star, was cited by the judges as having a an amazing body of work that displayed a great sense of what’s new and interesting, using unique elements to make his stories stronger and more compelling. Second runner-up was awarded to Rob
Beintema of Metroland Media Group [whose writing appears regularly in the Kelowna Capital News] for the savvy blend of humour and emotion that he brings to each and every piece. Beintema, the judges speculate, knows what it takes to make a car review more than just a series of specs. Journalist of the Year Award founder and former Jaguar Canada president, John Mackie, who passed away only a few weeks before, was honoured at the awards for his long-standing love and dedication to the industry. “This award was founded over 30 years ago by Jaguar and it’s always a thrill to be able to honour Canada’s top talents in automotive journalism” said Barbara Barrett, national communications and public affairs director for Jaguar Land Rover Canada. “Jaguar and Land Rover are premium and exclusive brands, so it’s appropriate that we recognize the premium journalism published by this exclusive group of Canadian automotive journalists. Congratulations to all entrants and award winners!”

Trust Hyundai to one-up the opposition—again. This time it’s with the 2015 Genesis Coupe R-Spec model that sets a new standard as the most powerful car under $30,000 on the Canadian market. A rear-wheel drive sports coupe, the Genesis comes standard with a tire-smoking, direct injection 348 hp 3.8-litre V6 engine—all for $29,499. Hyundai calls the R-Spec the “enthusiast-focused” model and it is equipped to bring out the boy-racer in all of us. While I’m well past the target demographic for this car, any enthusiast, regardless of age, will find it a fun, exhilarating ride. R-Spec models arrive with a variety of high-performance features such as bucket seats with large side bolsters to keep occupants firmly in place during highspeed cornering. There is also an impressive Brembo brake package, Torsen-type limited slip differential, a sport-tuned suspension with ratcheted up spring rates and specially-tuned damping, along with 19inch alloy wheels fitted with high-performance Bridgestone Potenza summer tires.

an eyelash if you were to tell them that the R-Spec is a value leader—after all Hyundai has built its reputation by offering vehicles that surpass expectations. But most people, particularly American muscle car fans, would be amazed to learn that the Genesis Coupe R-Spec also outmuscles cars like the base Chevy Camaro (323 hp 3.6-litre V6) and Ford Mustang (300 hp, 3.7-litre V6) on the horsepower front. Similarly, the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ rear-drive sports cars fall well short in the power department with 200 hp and torque of 151 lb/ft. The 3.8-litre V6 in the R-Spec and all Genesis Coupes for 2015 was only available on the GT model in 2014. It propels the car to a 0-100 km/h time in the low five-second range, according to Hyundai. The limited slip diff helps out, ensuring power is equally distributed to the rear wheels. The Genesis Coupe has undergone only minor changes since its debut as a 2009 model, although it received a facelift in 2013, notably with a revised front fascia. Styling wise, the Genesis Coupe R-Spec has classic coupe proportions with a long hood, short rear deck and a wide, planted stance. Although an aging design, it still has a modern yet classic look. Inside, there is seating for four and the look is more upscale than one would expect from a base model. The deeply bolstered seats are leather trimmed with a contrasting red stitching. However, the dash and console appear a bit outdated 5with lots of plastic-looking
materials. Being an old-school guy, I love the buttons and knobs on the centre stack for the HVAC and audio system. So simple to use and ergonomically correct. Gauges above the HVAC controls give readings for torque, oil temperature and real-time fuel economy. The back seat is best reserved for children; adults only recommended for short, around-town jaunts. Trunk capacity is 322 litres that can be expanded by folding down the rear seatbacks. Natural Resources Canada Fuel Consumption numbers are 14.4/9.9/12.4 L/100 km city/highway/combined for the manual transmission and 14.6/9.6/12.3 for the automatic. Since the R-Spec version is aimed at driving enthusiasts, the track-tuned suspension is on the firm side. For example, the R-Spec and GT front spring rates are seven per cent firmer than on Premium model and the rear springs are 11 per cent firmer. Similarly, the steering is on the heavy side for a car of this size. With its powerful V6 engine, rear-wheel drive and relatively lightweight of 1,628 kg (3,589 lb), the R-Spec can be a handful when you push it. But as a nod to the enthusiast, the R-Spec has a three-stage Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system. On start up, the ESC is full on, while the intermediate setting disables powertrain override but retains ESC braking function. There is also a full-off ESC mode for the driver who wants to take part in autocross events or track days. And that’s a big part of what the R-Spec is all about.
It has its flaws, but there’s a lot to like about this pocket rocket that’s equally at home on the street or the track. What’s best: The power in this pocket rocket has to be experienced. What’s worst: The seats are very highly bolstered, making exiting the car a difficult chore. What’s interesting: Hyundai says this is the most powerful car on the market under $30,000.

The Truth Behind your Favorite Super Foods PHOTO CREDIT: JON DERKSEN
Caption: from the nearby jungle
By Chloe Davidson A young Bolivian boy sorts Brazil nuts harvested I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a health freak and I literally go from fad to fad, testing each of the foreign foods, dietary lifestyles, and holistic treatments, that come up in the health world constantly. Through a lot of my experimenting, I’ve learnt a lot about my body and what it really needs, but I’ve also done some research behind these fadfoods, and have found out a few mind-blowing truths about some of the biggest “super” foods. Quinoa: A little over a decade ago, quinoa was just a staple in Peruvian and Bolivians’ diets. Now the nutrient-packed, ancient grain has become a multi-million dollar commodity that the Bolivians and Peruvians can’t even afford. In fact, it now costs people who grow it in the Andes more than it does to buy chicken. They can’t even eat their own food! Quinoa has had a revolution in the health world because of its high protein content, and is sustainable in environmental terms, but did we ever think about the people who grow quinoa for us?
Why we wear poppies
KSS Launches New Online Adventure Magazine It’s here! The KSS Journalism class is proud to announce the launch of a new publication, Art of Adventure Magazine at www.artofadventure.ca . Art of Adventure (www.artofadventure.ca) is an international student magazine dedicated to publishing quality articles, journals, blogs, photography, video, creative writing and artwork with a distinctly global/ geographical flavour. The magazine is intended to draw together like-minded students, teachers and alumni (pretty much ALL of us) from around the world. The name ‘Art of Adventure’ was in part inspired by outdoor photographer Galen Rowell, whose photography amazed millions of fans (see http://www.mountainlight.com/rowellg.html).
Come check it out! You can also join in the conversation at https://www.facebook.com/groups/artofadventure/ We hope to see you there!
By Jasmine Pathak The onset of November brings scarfs, gloves, frostbite, red cups at Starbucks, and the distinct red poppies sold at stores and promptly pinned on coats. The poppy is traditional for being a symbol for Remembrance for many countries including Canada, but many people wonder how this came to be. During the Napoleonic Wars, it was noted that poppies grew quickly over the graves of fallen soldiers. Poppies grow wild in many places, including fields of France and Belgium, which saw some of the deadliest battles during World War I. This was what inspired physician John Mccrae, who served for the Canadian forces Artillery, to write the famous poem “In Flander’s Field”. Madame Guérin of France came to America in 1920 and met Moina Michael, a professor and humanitarian, who pledged to wear the poppy after reading Mccrae’s poem. Madame Guerin was inspired and began selling homemade poppies to raise money for children in war-torn areas. Later in 1921, the British Legion adopted the poppy as symbol for remembrance, and began selling them as a way to raise money for poor and disabled veterans. Madame Guerin also visited Canada and convinced the Canadian Legion to also adopt the poppy. Last year, over 18 million Canadians donned a poppy. Despite this popularity, there is much controversy over wearing a poppy. The most argument is that the wearing of poppies is a glorification of war. Personally, I could not disagree more. War is brutal, tragic, and filled with pain that continues long-after the war has ended. When I wear a poppy, while attending the school assembly, I’m remembering that pain, tragedy, and brutality war results in, and I remember the sacrifices made by millions in respect. The innocent lives that have been destroyed and anguished because of wars in the past and of the present, prove to the world how war brings the opposite of glory. Wearing a poppy is a personal choice, which ultimately signifies the freedom we have in Canada. So regardless if you decide to adorn your jacket with a red flower, it’s important that we all take the time on November 11th to reflect and remember the sacrifices that have been made by so many, and the innocent lives that have been lost, for that is what really matters.
Filmmaking and Video Production a Reel Winner at KSS On 2 November, the KSS Media 10 class was treated to an impromptu visit by returning 2015 graduates Yanni Yu, Erika Papke and Gareth Jones. All three currently study filmmaking at Capilano University, and they spoke to the Grade 10 students about the challenges of the program, the film industry in Vancouver, and about filmmaking in general. Yanni, Erika and Gareth are part of a growing number of KSS students who have chosen to pursue filmmaking as a career. Last year, KSS graduates Justin McGregor and Anthony Ross (Class of ’10) released their first independent film The Generations, to much acclaim. Justin’s latest short film, The Founder Effect, a wonderfully dark tale, was released just in time for Hallowe’en. Also released last week was teacher and filmmakRight to Left: Gareth Jones, Jon Derksen, Yannie Yu, er David Nault’s final episode of 1 Stop Closer, an epic advenErica Papke ture through Iceland, featuring KSS’s own Sean Talbot (Class of 1999), now an internationally acclaimed photographer. Meanwhile, Lexi Wuthrich, (Class of 2013), who studied film at Capilano University and is now on to business at BCIT, has undertaken a new film project, Irreversible, about personal journey in the southern heart of British Columbia. And that’s just the short list. There are many other illustrious graduates making their mark in the Canadian film world. So what’s behind this growing interest in film at Kelowna Secondary School? A big part of it has to do with the legacies of teachers like Anne-Marie Holmwood, who set the bar high during her tenure; and the tradition continues with media specialist Jon Derksen at the helm, who used to work with National Geographic and the Discovery Channel. In addition to expanding video production capabilities (better cameras, better computers etc.), he has turned journalism into a multi-media undertaking, moving the student news source Censor This! to an online forum, and starting a ‘semi-fake’ news show, The Hooter, produced by KSS Journalism and Video Production students. There are also plans for radio-style podcasts. KSS Video Production has big plans for the future. Thanks to funding from the KSS PAC and other generous donors, new equipment allows students to experiment with new techniques and helps to expand their creative horizons. And with the recent release of the new curriculum, the KSS Video Production class hopes to undertake a series dedicated to First Nations education in the school and province wide.
The Myth Behind Modelling By Jessica Demers October 22, 2015 -- Filed under Student Life The modelling and fashion industry has been booming since the 1960’s with fashion houses such as Chanel, Burberry, and Givenchy behind the wheel. Since then the need for models has only continued to grow. The average model can make up to $1,000 a day, just to lounge around in expensive apparel, get their hair and makeup done, and have reputable photographers fawn over them. Clearly you can see why this profession is so desirable to young people all over the world; little do most people know how damaging the career can be. To be a high runway model, you need to be a minimum of 5’7”, and a maximum size 3 dress size. The pressure to be thin in the fashion and modelling industry is heavy, and many times it causes young models to turn to eating disorders and drugs. Initially I approached this article with somewhat of a bias against modelling, as I had previously had negative experiences in the industry. I started off my interviews with a very closed minded approach and was expecting the girls I was interviewing to have the same opinions. I was quickly shocked when I heard their stories and experiences with modelling and how different they were from my own. As I listened to how the industry had not only built confidence, poise, and self-esteem, but also made them stronger, more outgoing people, my foul opinion slowly started to diminish. During my interview with Larissa, an international model, she explained how modelling has been an amazing experience for her, because “You meet so many people from all around the world.” work is a lesson that she’s been taught through modeling, explaining, “There is a ton of competition for one job,” meaning she always need to be working her hardest and putting her best work forward. Larissa believes modelling has changed her for the better over the years by making her a more independent, smarter and a more confident person. Overall the modelling industry doesn’t deserve the bad rap it has; it’s helped many people of all ages learn confidence, poise and hard work. Modelling as a youth can help teach positivity about self-image, but also improves adolescents’ independence early in life and prepare them for things that they will encounter later in life.
For the love of tea By Amanda Ketch With the leaves changing and frost settling in, our mugs are coming out of the cupboard and our kettles are back in action. Tea season is upon us! Black, pu-erh, green, oolong, white, and herbal blends warm our throats and fill our homes with fragrance. Tea lovers everywhere rejoice. However, if not for the love of tea, some drink it for the health benefits. For those who love tea and it’s benefits it’s a win–win scenario. When people think about daily things to fight off disease and stay healthy, the typical image is drinking fish oil and grossly sized vitamins, not pleasant tasting warm drinks. Each tea has different benefits. Black tea. With countless varieties, and long lasting leaves, black tea is certainly one of the most popular teas. Black tea can add lung exposure caused by smoking cigarettes and reduces the risk of strokes. Pu-erh. Although it is considered to be a black tea, its complex fermentation process and the fact that it is pressed into bricks set it apart. Coming from the Yunnan province in China, this tea slows weight gain and reduces LDL cholesterol. Green tea. Originating in Asia this antioxidant packed tea has rapidly taken over the western world. Legend has it this tea was first brewed in 2737 BC, but did they know then about all of its benefits? It has been shown to impede growth of certain cancers and reduce risk of neurological diseases. White tea. More loosely defined than the other types of tea, white tea is known for its minimal processing. These sun dried leaves have the strongest cancer fighting agents in them. Oolong tea. A traditional Chinese tea, with a name sourced from legend, oolong is a very unique tea, in its diversity of flavour. It’s health benefits include lowering cholesterol levels, and it is often sold as a weight loss product, though there is no evidence to prove it. Herbal tea. Although it is not technically tea (is not made out of the same leaves) herbal tea is still widely popular. Legend has it, herbal teas hold the key to a good night sleep and combat the common cold. As if tea lovers needed yet another excuse to justify their minor addictions. Although countless blends may empty our wallets and clutter up our cupboards, its healthy! If you don’t want to drink for the love of tea, drink in the name of good health!

In Flanders Fields by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago, We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.
Coldwell Banker Horizon Realty REALTORS速 and Staff wish to thank the Veterans and their families for their contribution to the quality of life as we know it in Canada.
