ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
Bennett family raising awareness Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
The late Bill Bennett, former premier of B.C., will be this year’s honouree at the annual Investor’s Group Walk for Alzheimer’s in the Kelowna. The walk, the biggest awareness and fundraiser organized by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. each year, is scheduled for May 1. Bennett, who was from Kelowna and represented this area as an MLA in the B.C Legislature during his years in politics, died in December after a long battle with
Alzheimer’s. His son Steve, speaking at a kick-off event for the upcoming awareness and fundraising walk held on Wednesday, said by supporting the event he felt he and his family were doing what his father would have done—continue to fight to help find a cure for the debilitating form of dementia that robs its victims of their memories. “We all know how competitive my father was,” said Steve Bennett, who personally donated $5,000 to the Alzheimer Society of B.C. to help fund research that one day could lead to a cure.
He said for his father, the early onset of the disease was slow but sped up quickly once his dad turned 80. In the last years of Bill Bennett’s life, he had to be transferred to a care home and was at the point where he did not recognize his children or his wife of 60 years. “He didn’t want to talk about it but as a family, we did,” said Steve Bennett, adding he remains confident one day a cure for Alzheimer’s will be found. He is encouraging everyone to register and turnout for the walk, noting it is now a national event.
The Kelowna walk will start in Mission Creek Regional Park at 11.a.m on Sunday, May 1. The confidence in finding a cure expressed by the younger Bennett is a reflection of the research into the Alzheimer’s disease currently ongoing at a number of universities around the world, including right here in Kelowna at UBC Okanagan. Dr. Ardis Klegeris is leading the team conducting the local research. Klegeris said while a drug to

refurbished and brought up to contemporary standards, which includes everything from a new entry checkpoint to a glass barricade between the gallery and the trial participants. Courtrooms are open to the public, so what’s changed is clear to see, though the Ministry of Justice declined a request to detail the upgrades. “While we don’t publicly disclose detailed information around security planning, we are making investments to accommodate a broader range of criminal matters,” said a Ministry of Justice representative. “Courthouse security is the responsibility of B.C. Sheriff Services, which routinely evaluates the threat level associated with court appearances and strategically deploys resources to meet the security need. B.C. Sheriff Services conducted a security
assessment and determined that a security upgrade would allow the courthouse to accommodate a broader range of criminal matters.” At the far end of the “range of criminal matters” is a trial starting in November. Jujhar Khun-Khun, Jason Thomas McBride and Michael Hunter Jones, have all been charged with murder and attempted murder for a daylight shooting outside the Delta Grand Hotel in Kelowna in August 2011, that left Red Scorpion member Jonathan Bacon dead and his companions injured. That trial is expected to begin on Nov. 7, 2016. It was originally scheduled for April 4, 2016, but was pushed back to allow for pre-trial matters.

Volunteer efforts help provide wheels for Syrian refugees
Kathy Michaels They say it takes a village to raise a child. It’s starting to look like it takes a city of humanitarian-minded Kelowna residents to help refugee families build a new life in the Okanagan. Luckily, they’re in ample supply. Keith Germaine is among a growing army of volunteers helping Syrian refugees put down roots in the area. He’s been doing his share through the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nelson, which has sponsored a number of families, and that has led him to help with everything from housing to job hunting. His latest accomplishment is being part of the effort to line up vehicles for the families that have arrived. “As you can imagine, it’s difficult for volunteers to move these families around,” he said, noting that some of Kelowna’s new residents have upwards of six family members, the majority of

One of the first new Okanaganites sponsored by the Catholic church to get a vehicle was the fiveperson Al Lwisi family, which has made Oliver home. They got their new

community, and donated the $1,500 in labour needed to get the van up to snuff. “Now (the Al Lwisi family) has been able to get a job,” said Germaine, noting they’ve had no problem thus far finding work for the refugee families that have moved to the Okanagan, but transportation is a bit of a stumbling block. Mountain Transmission didn’t stop at that project. They followed up
with diagnostic work on another van and are open to more opportunities, should someone else have a donation. Also doing a great deal of work is Tony Diemand, from Car Craft, a mechanics shop on Windsor Road that has giving-back-to-the -community as part of its mandate.

wheels when a family that moved to Kelowna as refugees in 1995 from Kosovo, during its crisis, contacted Germaine to say they had a van available for donation. It needed transmission help, so Germaine then went about contacting as many shops specializing in transmissions as he could, but only one responded. Todd Maleschok, of Mountain Transmission, had been looking for a way to give back to the
new residents that they’re part of a network, and that, he said, will be key to their success going forward. “They know the community is there for them,” Diemand said. Germaine said the strength and generosity of this community is something he’s been heartened by since families started arriving. “This is the first time I’ve seen the faith community coming together,” Germaine said. “Muslims, Sikhs, Mormons, Evangelicals, Catholics, Lutherans… everybody is coming together for these people. “People are people, and it doesn’t matter what faith they are, we know we can make a difference if we can work together—and we are.” There are at least 10 vans needed. Anyone who has a van they’d like to donate, call Wheater at 778-478-1520 or Diemand at 250-8607444.

It will also have a staircase with a handrail, lighting, facilities for audio controls, shade and an asphalt access coming from the other end of the field to allow easy access for wheelchairs. Findlater noted it will have a comfortable capacity of 1,000 people with lawn chairs, and it will also be easier for city staff to mow. Findlater said a start date for construction hasn’t been set yet, but hopes to see it get started within the next month, with a goal of having it completed by July 1 in time for Westside Days. The amphitheatre is one of two upgrades planned for Memorial Park this summer, as a tender for $438,260 was also awarded to Newline Skate Parks Inc. to construct a new skate park. Both projects received funding from the federal government, for a total of $315,437 from the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program.

Okanagan Tourism Final Paramount movie screenings revealed to get help filling future job postings The tourism industry in the Southern Interior is getting some help to find the thousands of new workers it says will be needed over the next four years. B.C.’s tourism and hospitality human resource association, go2HR, has appointed a regional human resources specialist to address what the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association predicts will be a major labour market challenge here. Ginger Brunner has been hired as the regional human resources specialist and will be based out of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association’s office in Kelowna. According to TOTA, the new position— created in partnership between it and go2HR— is needed because finding tourism staff is becoming increasingly difficult, particularly in regions outside of the Lower Ginger Brunner Mainland. TOTA says that by 2020, there will be more than 12,000 new, full-time equivalent job openings in the tourism sector in this region alone, and a shortage of more than 1,600 full-time equivalent staff. By having Brunner join the TOTA office, the association says go2HR will extend its professional reach into his area. Brunner is a certified human resource professional and trainer with more than 15 years of applied human resources and management experience in the tourism and hospitality industry. She brings experience in developing, facilitating and supporting HR programs, as well as facilitating a range of college and university recruitment initiatives. The plan is for her to work with tourism operators and stakeholders in the Central Okanagan to set up recruitment, retention and training initiatives outlined in both the provincial Tourism Labour Market Strategy and the Thompson Okanagan Regional Tourism Strategy. “By working with go2HR, TOTA is able to help ensure that tourism employers will have the right number of qualified employees to meet the demand of the industry and help increase the Thompson Okanagan’s impeccable reputation for visitor experience,” said Glenn Mandziuk, TOTA’s president and CEO. “Our expanded role in destination development activities supported by our provincial Crown corporation Destination British Columbia further enabled this important program to be established in the region.”
Landmark Cinemas Canada will mark the closing of its Paramount Theatre in Kelowna with a selection of special presentations from March 25 to 28. A portion of proceeds from tickets sales for that weekend will also be donated to Kids Help Phone. The Paramount Theatre opened its doors in June 1949, and was acquired by Landmark Cinemas of Canada in 1987. In a nod to its storied movie-past, the films to be screened on the last weekend will
include two movies from 1949—Orson Welles’ The Third Man and Abbott & Costello’s Africa Screams; from 1987—Harry and the Hendersons and the
original Beverly Hills Cop. Ticket prices for these special presentations are $3, with $1 from each ticket sold donated to Kids Help Phone.
Batman vs. Superman will be also be presented during the theatre’s closing weekend at regular admission pricing. “It is important that

Leave your phones alone, RCMP blitz urges sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com
Roughly half a dozen RCMP officers were on Lakeshore Road Wednesday as part of a distracted driving blitz. The blitz was part of a joint campaign between Kelowna RCMP and ICBC to promote the message of leaving phones alone while driving, and enforcing the rules on those breaking them, as March is Distracted Driving month in B.C.
…if they are ignoring the message and continuing to operate their vehicle while talking on their phone or texting or other things, they’ll get the fine.” Const. Jesse O’Donaghey “Our volunteers are
counting the drivers they observe violating those laws, and they have signs out here reminding drivers to leave their phones alone,” said RCMP Const. Jesse O’Donaghey. “Then just down the road there are half a dozen enforcement officers enforcing those laws. So if they are ignoring the message and continuing to operate their vehicle while talking on their phone or texting or other things, they’ll get the fine.”

O’Donaghey explained just what constitutes distracted driving. “Just various uses of a cell phone,” he said. “Texting, accepting calls, checking your emails, changing a song or even dialling a number. Distracted driving could also be considered putting on makeup, or eating food, or reading a newspaper or a book, or shaving.

If you need to answer your call or you have an important message you’re expecting, pull over, don’t put others at risk. Pull over and check that message, and when you’re certain you’re done with that message continue on.” Const. Jesse O’Donaghey on the dashboard are OK if they are in the driver’s line of sight while not obstructing their view of the road. With that said, he added it’s only OK as long as you aren’t handling them while driving. “If you need to answer your call or you have an important message you’re expecting, pull over, don’t put others at risk,” O’Donaghey said. “Pull over and check that message, and when you’re certain you’re done with that message continue on. “Or delegate someone in your car, a passenger, as the designated texter, like a designated driver. Just keep your eyes on the road, because that half a second can be deadly.” Last year, 31 people were killed by distracted drivers in the Southern Interior. O’Donaghey noted that’s a number that needs to come down, which is why RCMP enforcement officers are often performing activities such as the one on Wednesday, where they ticketed 37 drivers in three hours.

UBC OKANAGAN
Optimism in finding a cure Donation enhances medical training cure the disease is still likely some time off, other research has found that there are steps that can be taken in mid-life to help fend it off later in life or, at least, slow it down. Given that Alzheimer’s is considered a “latelife” disease, Klegeris said it has been shown that lifestyle changes such as exercise, maintaining an ideal weight, mental activity, a good and balanced diet and not smoking or drinking heavily in mid-life could delay development of Alzheimer’s later on. He said world-wide, the biggest risk factor for the disease is actually low education, while in North America it is obesity. Locally, he said, research is being focusing on the use of an arthritis drug, Auranofin, as a method of slowing the onset of Alzheimer’s. But he said because the disease cannot be identified for certain until after death, there is a lack of test subjects to try out potential helpful drugs. He said Alzheimer’s is primarily a human disease, with only a few types of animals getting what could be a related form of it. But still, he remains

BENNETT FROM A1
Steve Bennett, the son of the late former B.C. premier Bill Bennett was joined at the kick-off event for this year’s Walk For Alzheimer’s event in Kelowna by Alzheimer Society of B.C CEO Maria Howard. Walks will also be held across B.C., including in Penticton, Nelson and Vernon.
UBC Okanagan medical students and health care providers will get more hands-on training thanks to a recent donation of two new portable ultrasound machines to the UBC Southern Medical Program (SMP). A recent gift from The Colin and Lois Pritchard Foundation allowed the program to purchase two machines that will be dedicated for training in basic ultrasound proficiency, benefiting multiple learner groups at Kelowna General Hospital and physicians in the Southern Interior. Ultrasound is a crucial and versatile tool within the field of medicine and considered indispensable in areas such as emergency medicine, surgery, critical care, obstetrics
and gynecology. Many physicians describe it as the new stethoscope, representative of a new standard for medical practice and point-ofcare-delivery. However, the technology hasn’t always
been readily available for teaching given its heavy clinical use throughout the hospital. The recent gift from the Pritchard Foundation will alleviate that problem. “The ability to see inside a patient, virtually,
from initial examination to the moment of discharge, improves and enhances the entire process of patient care,” said Dr. Allan Jones, regional associate dean for the UBCO Faculty of Medicine.

Tuck says his business education at the college has been supplemented by the sage advice and guidance of strong mentors who have helped him and his partners. Tuck balances his dedication to the business with his studies at OC, and acknowledges that the business is benefiting from what he learns. “I found a lot of what I’ve been learning here applies to the business and, similarly, I’ve found that what I’m learning in business is helping me appreciate and better understand what I’m being taught.” One of the classes he highlights as particularly advantageous is a course in Internet marketing, taught by Robert Wright. “I’ve asked for and had some feedback from Robert on our site and approach.

Westbank First Nation members have new professional skills thanks to Velocity Training Canada. Heavy equipment training was given to 17 participants by Velocity Training, funded by the B.C. Ministry of Social Development and with links to Employment Insurance. Acquiring heavy equipment training provides the participants with a conduit that can take them from EI to having a valuable skill to seek employment with. “When they graduate from our program they
get 170 hours of seat time,” said Shad Mailer, project lead for Velocity. “They learn foundations, which is everything to do with machines and maintenance and of course a great level of safety. “Then when they pass their foundations exam, they move into the heavy equipment portion, which is eight weeks of working on equipment.” The training doesn’t just include how to operate heavy equipment professionally, but also includes employability training such as resumé writing and mock interviews. The employability
Loud bang theory applied to local geese The City of Kelowna has received a ‘scare permit’ from Canadian Wildlife Service to use techniques such as lasers, falcons, dogs and loud noise makers to discourage geese from settling in Kelowna’s parks and beaches. The prevalence of goose droppings is an annoyance to park and beach users and can affect the beach water quality. Geese can also cause damage to sports field turf, increasing the time and cost for maintenance. While any park in Kelowna may require goose management, residents are advised that the scare techniques will more often occur in these parks: Mission Recreation Park, Parkinson Recreation Park (including the Apple Bowl), Elks Stadium, City Park and Waterfront Park. While goose management will be conducted Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. until 4 p.m. year-round, peak activity will occur in the spring and fall when there is generally an increase in geese population. These management techniques are used in conjunction with the egg addling program coordinated by Okanagan Valley Goose Management. The public is reminded to keep away from goose nests and to avoid touching the eggs. Information about the program is a vailable at okanagangooseplan.com.
“These (trainees) learned how to work in the mud. The exposure to adverse conditions, the snow, rain and just the muck, but the job still had to get done. “It was uncomfortable, it was messy, it was frustrating, but the person that comes out at the end, when they go to their next job they’ll find it easy.” This was the fourth time the province-wide program has come to the Okanagan, and Mailer said they are currently researching where they will go next.
training pays dividends for participants, as 40 per cent of the 17 grads were already employed at the graduation ceremony on March 4. The training program, which lasted 12 weeks, took place in an empty lot behind the Home Depot in West Kelowna. Through the work the participants did on the land, Mailer estimates they increased the value of the land by $30,000. “Normally we’ve been in gravel pits, where it can rain a lot and you don’t have to worry about anything,” he said.

So far our future casts long shadows It’s probably best not to Kathartic judge buildings before they’ve been KATHY completed. But, MICHAELS as a naturally judgmental person, I can’t help but do just that. When I walk down Doyle Avenue, past Ellis Street, my brow furrows and my mind is immediately overwhelmed with one word: Ugh. Ugh, in this case, is a stand-in for the following questions: Why is it suddenly so gloomy in what used to be a cheerful and bright corner? Why has the aesthetically pleasing library been obscured by what looks to be a squat, square blahding? Why is the Interior Health building so close to the sidewalk? Was this corner always supposed to shape up into the 1970s version of progress? I’m hoping that my pre-completion perspective will be changed as time wears on, windows are popped in and cranes roll away because the last thing I want to become is one of the antidevelopment crew. Firstly, because I know Kelowna needs to be densified.

The downtown requires a concentration of people, working and spending money, so supporting existing and future businesses can really flourish. Secondly, I’ve seen what having nagging development doubts can do to someone in their dotage, and I really don’t want to devolve into one of those people who compulsively heckles city planners as soon as they mention concrete. I really love concrete. Especially when it’s the foundation of a good city. A good city-scape makes my heart go pitter pat, as a matter of fact. But these buildings, on their own thus far, aren’t getting my pulse racing and I’m not alone. I’ve spoken to a number of people who’ve expressed similar displeasure in the darkening of Doyle. Darkening that really needs to be offset as further development comes into place because, thus far, it’s out of step with the natural attributes that makes this city appealing. Coming to terms with how it all fits together, I suppose, is what’s to happen with the development of a “civic plaza” which has been talked about a great deal this week. The long-range plan encompasses a new performing arts centre, a consolidation of existing museums and extension of the Art Walk from Queensway to Cawston Avenue. “These public space improvements are an Newsroom: Sean Connor, Warren Henderson, Sawyer Klassen, Kathy Michaels, Kevin Parnell, Jean Russell, Alistair Waters Advertising: Tracy Cole, Jim Coulter, Teresa Huscroft-Brown, Rick Methot, Christine Mould, Megan Munro, Wayne Woollett Classified: Meghan Toews, Michelle Trudeau Production: Nancy Blow, Janice Collier, Shayla Graf, Kiana Haner-Wilk, Fatima Hartmann, Nadine Krahn, Tiffany
important ingredient for the civic precinct to function as a cohesive and vibrant district within downtown,” reads part of a report to council by planner Ross Soward. “The civic precinct plan embraces the vision of a dynamic community that aspires to have people live, work, play and learn in this area.” Anticipating the future look of the area bounded by Queensway, Clement Avenue, Ellis Street and Water Street, among other things the plan says the current RCMP building, which will soon be empty when the police move to new Clement Avenue digs, will become a higher density residential property. “The site will be a catalyst to enhance and accelerate public space improvements such as the Art Walk extension and civic plaza (to eventually be developed between the courthouse, library and community theatre),” Soward said. It all sounds wonderful, but what I hope we all remember as we zoom toward future Kelowna, is that this space may be coming available for economic and cultural enhancement, but it shouldn’t be at the expense of our natural attributes. Kelowna has one of the most fetching waterfronts I’ve ever seen and it would be nice to see developers be mindful of that, not just maximizing their square footage, as they create our future city scape.

EASTER FOOD SALE
Housing First puts horse before the cart To the editor: To the editor: After months of behind closed door planning, the scheme has finally hatched. In the name of compassion, [Kelowna city] council is asked to effectively displace low income senior citizens in order to accommodate untreated, homeless, mentally ill drug addicts. This is more than a frivolous matter with major potential consequences for our community. The Housing First movement urges us to put the cart before the horse. It is a wishful hope that free housing, without treatment commitment, will somehow motivate people
off drugs and back on the straight and narrow path to recovery. So-called experts claim it’s not fair to ask homeless people to prove their worth as citizens before moving them into housing. They all speak of benefits yet no one speaks of consequences. What is not fair is the displacement involved in giving addicts without commitment a place in line with all low income persons. Housing First is a social experiment of extremely high risk…There is much more to it than a simple reduction in the number of people sleeping on the street. There is already a high cost in dealing with the unpredictable behaviour of persons with
untreated mental illness and/or addiction. A high concentration of people with risk behaviour issues amounts to institutional housing. It is the thin edge of a wedge that will lead to the establishment of a multitude of related social service providers. Housing First is a simplistic solution that will effectively multiply the problems of economic and social costs to the surrounding community. The displacement of worthy residents, low income or otherwise, for a risky largescale social experiment such as this is totally unacceptable. Ian R. Sisett, Kelowna The full transcript of this letter is on kelownacapnews.com
Response online to Housing First letter To the editor: Re: Letter: Housing First puts Horse Behind the Cart. This is a big misunderstanding of Housing First. It is not an experiment, it is a proven method that has shown positive results. It’s been shown to save taxpayer money and successfully changed the lives of these socalled ‘unworthy’ individuals. Many of the concerns the letter’s author states are ones that Housing First teams are
aware of and have strategies in place to prevent those problems, like a contingency fund that will help with repairs to rental units and 24-hour on-call support when issues arise. The concern for landlords is overblown, as many landlords are jumping on board as they see this not only as a humanitarian effort but a way to make money as, though the person housed is higher risk, they come with a support team in place.
The person isn’t thrown in rental housing and left there. They are supported. Don’t listen to this type of misunderstanding and misleading information. While his concerns are understandable, a bit of research would go a long way to dispelling many of the myths stated as fact in this letter to the editor.
While the activists and academics and ‘leaders’ talk, talk, talk; businesses take the brunt of ‘homelessness.’ Leon sometimes looks like an occupation zone; visitors and patrons have to run a gauntlet with sidewalks on both sides of the street ‘occupied.’ Bylaw enforcement seems to be on nobody’s radar. So there’s money, there’s studies, there’s model programs elsewhere—get the show on the road! Bill Maier
Maybe a cap on rental rates would be in order? Lynne Zomers This is not just a Leon Avenue problem. The unfortunate homeless are in many areas in Kelowna. I look forward to a comprehensive plan that we can all participate in to solve this problem, as opposed to our current practices of providing charity to alleviate the symptoms while the core problem continues to grow. Jim Shedden
NEVER-ENDING DOG DILEMMA
Feeling threatened by off-leash dogs To the editor: I live near Crawford and walk in the local parks almost daily and am also increasingly affected by off-leash dogs in what are supposedly on-leash parks. I love walking the trails and ridges, but have started to avoid them out of fear as the dog problem continues to escalate. Mission Ridge Linear Park in particular has become bad—I have been threatened, held at bay, jumped on, bruised, scraped and even bit. Owners assure me their dogs are ‘friendly’ or rationalize that ‘he’s just a puppy,’ or the classic, ignore me after calling desperately for their dog who is bounding towards me barking frantically. It can be terrifying at worst, and frustrating at best. My children
are afraid to walk with me. Considerate dog owners who do leash their dogs, are often also bothered by the off-leash dogs. In many cases people will drive to our neighbourhood and let their dogs out of the vehicle without a leash, and thus we have also had dogs running into our yard and down the street. My son was also threatened by one such dog while walking to school. The owner, who never did apologize, had to pull his dog away from my son who had been backed up against a hedge. I have been in contact with Bylaws on several occasions, and while they have been understanding, I have yet to see any patrols in the area. I ask anyone experiencing similar problems to contact bylaws and Regional
Fear of dogs your problem To the editor: Re: Off-leash Dogs Terrify Walker, online and March 9 Kelowna Capital News. The unresolved psychological issues of two individuals are probably best addressed with professional therapy. Draconian punishments to be enacted upon neighbours whose behaviour is insensitive to their phobia isn’t the answer.
Roy Cobden Off-leash dogs need off-leash dog parks where they can be free to be themselves without risk of contact with the seemingly pathologically terrified. Let us have many more off-leash dog parks for our best friends and let us have them quickly. Dianne Varga

West Kelowna The Westbank Country Opry welcomes back Michael Painchaud, a young singer and songwriter rooted in classical country.

Ken Smedley presents
Canada’s Royal Winnipeg Ballet returns to Kelowna with its highly acclaimed production, Going Home Star— Truth and Reconciliation, a unique ballet that represents the many stories, both told and untold, by survivors of the Indian Residential School system. The Truth and Reconciliation production has become a labour of love and passion for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. It is considered a risktaking venture into unknown, unfamiliar and troubled territory within the realm of ballet, offering a new insight into the historic legacy of the aboriginal residential

school system. The ballet explores the world of Annie, a young, urban First Nations woman adrift in a contemporary life of youthful excess, strangely disconnected within her superficial loop. But when she meets Gordon, a longhaired trickster disguised as a homeless man, she’s propelled into a world she’s always sensed but never seen. Together, they travel the streets of this world but also the roads of their ancestors. Together, both Annie and Gordon learn that without truth, there is no reconciliation. The ballet is choreographed by Mark Godden (Angels In The Architecture, Dame Aux Fruits, Sheperd’s Wake, Dracula), in collaboration with acclaimed author Joseph Boyden (The Orenda, Three Day Road), associate producer Tina Keeper and with the guidance of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and members of the aboriginal community. The creative team also includes Canadian multimedia artist KC Adams, accomplished costume designer Paul Daigle, lighting design by Paul Lavoie and projection design by Sean Nieuwenhuis.

CONCERT Wintersleep Thursday, March 24 9 p.m. The Habitat 248 Leon Ave Kelowna Wintersleep has developed a musical reputation for generating atmospheric alternative rock orchestrated arrangements anchored by haunting, almost hypnotic vocal melodies. however, the way those arrangements were approached and the poetry they relay are very much the product of some self-(re)discovery. Wintersleep is comprised of vocalist/ guitarist Paul Murphy, drummer Loel Campbell, guitarist Tim D’eon, bassist Mike Bigelow, and keyboardist Jon Samuel. Since the group’s breakout success behind Welcome To The Night Sky in 2007, six albums later downtime has almost become a dirty word. “So there was something very freeing and refreshing about slowing down and rediscovering things,” D’eon said.

The band’s communityminded spirit led them to donate all online proceeds from the album to the residents of northern Saskatchewan who are displaced and negatively affected by yearly forest fires in the region. Bombargo has a new album ready for release this year. Bombargo’s musical landscape delivers a punchy, energetic conviction, that infuses a hint of blues and soul into their alternative rock vibe, creating a synergy that embodies the unique sum of all of the musical personalities of the group. Born and bred on the West Coast, Redeye Empires offers listeners a unique blend of reggae, ska, rock and hip-hop. As long-time friends, Gabe Davis and Mike Redmond spent much of their youth playing music together. When Davis headed off to pursue the Pacific surf break of Hawaii while Redmond ran to the Coastal Mountains in search of an endless winter, the music they shared was temporarily put on hold. Returning to Vancouver in 2007, the two reconnected, feeling it was time for them to musically pick up wherew they left off, and Redeye Empire was born. CONCERT Sam Cash & The Romantic Dogs Thursday, March 24 Flashbacks
1268 Ellis St. Kelowna Kelowna singer and musician Sam Cash’s new album Tongue-InCheek Vows perfectly captures that moment when a young artist and his cohorts find their collective voice and suddenly realize that there are no limits to what they can accomplish together. With Cash’s unflinching poetry riding atop The Romantic Dogs taut exuberance, Tongue-InCheek Vows tips its hat to an era when conviction was measured by the amount of sweat and blood exuded on stage, and in the studio. Set for release on March 25 via Cameron House Records, TongueIn-Cheek Vows is Cash’s third album and the second with the Romantic Dogs. It follows the group’s acclaimed 2013 debut, Stand Together, Fall Together, an album that earned more attention than even Cash was hoping for, given how spontaneously it was made. While the rambunctiousness that drew fans and critics to that album is on full display, Cash chose to take more time to develop Tongue-In-Cheek Vows. Working in tandem with producer and bona fide Canadian altrock legend Ian Blurton (Change Of Heart, C’Mon, Public Animal), those who have followed Cash’s development to

this point will be taken on an insightful tour into his growing self-awareness and his perception of the human condition. “I really wanted this record to be a statement, and I gathered all the best material I had on hand for it, including some songs I purposely didn’t want to put on the last album,” Cash said. “It felt good to be able to involve the band more on this one too, considering we’d made Stand Together, Fall Together in basically two days. Everyone worked really hard and there was a great exchange of ideas.” Cash views Tongue-InCheek Vows not just as a mere coming-of-age document, but a symbol of how he has embraced the craft of songwriting itself. “These songs were written during a three or four year period starting when I was 19, which is a pretty exciting time for anyone,” he said. “But what I love most about songs are those moments when you hear something and it hits you in a very specific way, and you’re not even thinking about what the writer’s intentions are. “That’s the ultimate effect I would like my music to have on people, when they can make their own connection, which is just as real and meaningful as what was
in my head when I wrote the song.” CONCERT Marianas Trench April 5 1223 Water St. Prospera Place Kelowna Canadian pop-rockers Marianas Trench will make a stop on the group’s Never Say Die tour across Canada at Prospera Place on Tuesday, April 5. The tour is supporting Marianas Trench’s fourth studio album, Astoria, which debuted at #2 in the Canadian SoundScan charts and is currently at 33 on the U.S. album top 100. Of the current tour, Marianas Trench front man Josh Ramsay enthuses: “Mousse up that hair, throw on your best ripped acid wash, and get ready to join the fight to make dancing legal once again. Can you survive Astoria? The only other thing capable of generating that much energy is a bolt of lightning.” Known for their infectious sound and energetic performances, Marianas Trench have secured a spot as one of Canada’s most successful bands of the past decade, building their name on relentless touring combined with two platinum sales albums, hit
songs such as “Fallout,” Stutter” and “Haven’t Had Enough” and a Juno Award for group of the year in 2013. Ramsay also received a Grammy nomination in 2013 for co-writing and producing Carly Rae Jepsen’s breakthrough smash hit, “Call Me Maybe.” Tickets on sale at selectyourtickets.com or by calling 250-762-5050 or at the Prospera Place box office.

She definitely deserves more credit for some of the amazing concepts that spawn in her brain yet which I get acknowledgment for. I feel bad she is not given more praise and applause by others and that I get all the attention. Lots of times I get credit for being the “unusual” or “artistic” one with the “different” ideas. I hear folks whisper that sort of stuff as I strut into a room. It’s as if folks perceive me as an inspiration or a trend-setter, the “spark plug” of any group, so to speak. I’m the one folks shrug their shoulders about with apparent confidence and then gossip about quietly as I walk by—so as to not feed my ego by hearing their constant praise. “He’s a politician, ya know,” folks whisper in huddled groups, looking concerned or empathetic, not trying to show how impressed they actually are. Or, “isn’t he that writer fellow” they marvel as I trundle past, shaking their heads in disbelief at my humbleness. I am always amused when they roll their fingers in circular motions

It’s not true. Clearly I have not painted her in the proper light in previous columns. When it comes to profound strategy or simple simplistic troublesolving Tez is in a league of her own. Here’s a recent sample of her uncanny visionary skills. “We need to build our own wall,” Tez announced in exacerbation last night, turning off the latest news on the U.S. Rat Race, err… election, with a sigh of worried weariness. “This whole Donald Trump nightmare election sham is getting seriously

“If that doesn’t get Donald to smarten up then we will just be forced to pile on a bunch more bricks. “We have lots of Lego. Lego is clearly long lasting and recyclable. If we decide to tear it down later, or move it, or change the design, no problem. Flexible, adaptable, reusable— how can we go wrong? “Funding should not be an issue because the federal government should pay for it. If the federal government can’t get a federal government grant, then who can? We could establish a GO Trump Fund or something,” Tez grinned. “It should be an easy project to sell to the voters. It’s a Make Work Project and involves clean, light, technology. For safety we could place Tim Hortons franchises every few kilometers along the wall. Security will be well looked after. “We will probably need to create a name for the wall. Maybe the Great Wall of Chump or something.” She suggested perhaps I could get city council to take it forward to the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and then the Federation of Canadian Municipalities for support. “Or better yet, hold on to it and then in case you run in the provincial election or something use the wall idea as a political blockbuster strategy idea. “It will garner you lots of support, just like Trump’s wall is helping him.” Then, in true gracious Teresa style, she looked at me sweetly and added, “And you know honey, I don’t even want credit for this. Just tell people this was your idea.” Yup, my Tez is amazing alright. I get all the credit for being the smart one yet she is the engine behind the train. That’s just not fair.

scary now. If the Yanks are not careful their dangerous game will bite them really big. “Can you imagine how the world will react if he actually gets elected president?” Teresa pontificated, thoughts shared by millions of Canadians. “So, if after his election The Donald is going to build a big wall to keep out the Mexicans, then we need to build a wall to keep out Trump,” Teresa grinned, revving up the sarcasm levels. “Except we will build it with a Canadian flavour. “It will be crafted by Lego bricks the entire way, from sea to shining sea. What Canadian kid hasn’t had or played with Lego? “By building with Lego there will be no concern regarding running out of material because Lego DNA remains unaltered.” Any repair work down the road will pose no problem material-wise. “Just think how many bricks are tucked away in basements and attics around the nation,” Tez continued. We could probably build the wall for free. Canada could hold a national wall donation day rally and have folks bring down their Lego. Better yet, we could throw a nation-wide party and just build the wall on a weekend. Gives the term, “just another brick in the wall” a Canadian feeling. “Yup, bring in some outdoor hockey rinks, live music, a gazillion Tim Hortons and we’d have that puppy built in no time,” she carried on. “We should probably build with white and red coloured bricks to begin with. A nice Canadian touch—and build it politely as well. Not all that high. Sort of a nice fence.

Early spring means early rise of disease carrying ticks The early spring weather means we are spending more time outside. But we aren’t the only ones enjoying the unseasonable warmth— the change in weather also brings out ticks. These small bugs feed on the blood of animals and humans and can sometimes transmit disease. Ticks are most often found in tall grass and wooded areas, so covering up before you head outdoors and checking for ticks on yourself, your children, and your pets after being outdoors, are simple things that go a long way to prevent tick bites. “The most common tick species in the Interior Health region is the wood tick (Dermacentor andersoni), which is not known to carry the Lyme disease bacteria,” said Dr. Silvina Mema, medical health officer with Interior Health. “The wood tick can carry other diseases such as Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, although it is very rare. Some ticks also have toxins that can cause temporary muscle weakness and paralysis but the symptoms fade once the tick is removed.” The tick species that carries Lyme disease (Ixodes pacificus) is more common in the coastal areas of B.C., but may also be present in low numbers in areas within Interior Health. Less than one per cent of Ixodes ticks in B.C. carry Lyme disease. In addition to fever, headache and muscle pain, people infected with Lyme disease will often develop a rash that looks like a “bulls-eye” target and expands from the site of the tick bite. “Most tick bites do not result in illness; however, all tick bites should be cleaned, as infection can occur whenever there is a break in the skin,” added Mema. “It is important to watch for signs of ticktransmitted illnesses. “Signs of many tickborne infections can be quite similar and include fever, headache, muscle pain, and rash. Anyone who experiences a bulls-eye rash or other symptoms should see a doctor as soon as possible.” Other precautions include walking on cleared trails when in tall grass or wooded areas;

Barrett-Jackson at Vancouver Auto Show By Keith Morgan Globally celebrated collector auto auction company Barrett-Jackson has become synonymous with the world’s ‘go to’ place for ultimate automotive finds.

In the crowd was Moray Keith, owner of Dueck Auto Group

A BC resident, Keith’s love affair of all things automobile is well known and his own collection of vintage automobiles includes a number of Barrett-Jackson purchased finds, seven of which will be featured on display at the 2016 Vancouver International Auto Show, next week (Wednesday through Sunday at Vancouver Convention Centre West). 1980 Rolls Royce Corniche Convertible once owned by Dean Martin. One of Hollywood’s most beloved entertainers, Dean Martin, purchased this Rolls Royce new in 1981. The Georgian Silver and black car was later owned by another actor, Dennis Farina until his death in 2013. The car still has Dean Martin’s original plates, “Dinos RR”. The Keith family purchased the vehicle for their Dueck Vintage Garage at Barrett Jackson’s 2014 Scottsdale event. 1950 Cadillac Series 60. This extremely special vehicle is from the Reggie Jackson Collection and is a true survivor car, completely original with only light cosmetic touch ups. The seats are still covered in plastic, a popular tradition of the time. The odometer shows just over 30,000 miles. Purchased at Barrett Jackson Las Vegas in 2011. 1961 Corvette.

Individuality is sometimes the first casualty of success. Mercedes-Benz was once known for rather eclectic vehicles that were unique in style and content and rarely spotted on the road. You could argue that the modern vehicle lineup has now become so broad and varied that when a Mercedes rolls by these days, nobody seems to notice. Enter the 2016 GLE 350 Coupe. When Daimler debuted the latest evolution of what used to be called the ML or M-Class, they not only rebadged it with the new GLE name, they also added a coupe derivative. It’s a less boxy, sportier version with rounded, sleeker proportions, AMG styling cues, an arching roofline, big wheels, a dynamic stance and real sport coupe performance abilities. The sporty side of the equation may seem dubious at first, given a 2,250 kg, almost 5,000 lb, curb weight, but the GLE 350 Coupe bases its performance DNA on three powertrain choices - the GLE 350d 4MATIC Coupe ($72,300) powered by a 3.0-litre turbodiesel engine (249 hp, 457 lb/ft), the GLE 450 AMG 4MATIC Coupe ($77,600) with a 3.0-litre Bi-Turbo gasoline motor (362 hp, 384 lb/ ft) or the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S 4MATIC Coupe
($116,500), topping out with a 5.5-litre Bi-Turbo V8 engine (577 hp, 561 lb/ft). 2 Tested here, we have the GLE 350d diesel version, dipped in Polar White with Pearl Black Nappa sport leather upholstery, tastefully tarted up with scattered metallic highlights and Anthracite Poplar wood trim. The GLE 350d strikes a particularly aggressive stance with its power-domed hood, wide grille and the swooping lines that flow back to muscular haunches. Our GLE 350d is the base model with the base diesel engine, if you can consider anything over $70K as being “base”. But don’t let the 249 hp rating fool you. The stump-pulling twist of 457 lb/ft of peak torque jumps you off the line nicely. The GLE 350d Coupe is longer, lower, wider and more expensive (+$9,100) than the regular GLE 350 sport Ute and as you’d expect, the fastback design actually compromises both second row passenger room and cargo space. But practicality doesn’t really come into it because this is more about form than function. You don’t buy a GLE 350d Coupe because you need it. You buy it because you want it.

Ford takes a leading Edge in family transort Neil Moore Bold, in-your-face, edgy. No matter how you describe the 2016 Ford Edge, this mid-size crossover isn’t one to go unnoticed. Especially the one I’d be testing for the week, resplendent in Ruby Red Tricoat Metallic—a $450 option that is well worth the price. The first generation model was nice enough, but bland.

Edge can be ordered many ways, starting with SE trim ($33,099), SEL ($35,899), Titanium ($39,899) and Sport ($46,399). The first three are available in both FWD and AWD (add $2,000 for AWD). Sport comes in AWD only. And there are three powertrains, all of which include a six-speed automatic with sequential manual shift. It can be set to regular drive or sport, with the latter offering a more aggressive shift pattern. It does make for more spirited driving, but I found that in a two-ton vehicle, dropping it into sport and using the paddle shifters was only briefly amusing. SE, SEL and Titanium come standard with the 2.0-litre

The new vehicle is also lonsger and more spacious than its predecessor, built on the same global platform as the mid-size Fusion sedan. Engineers have used more ,high strength steel, adding to its rigidity and lessening both road noise and vibrations. I could sense its sturdiness when driving our late-winter backroads. Calling many of them “uneven” is an understatement, but the Edge handled these without flexing or twisting. Potholes and cracks were absorbed nicely, and the passenger cabin remained comfortable—and quiet. But that doesn’t mean ride is mushy. The independent front/ rear suspension has been tuned for more responsive handling, aided by curve control and roll stability control. No, the Edge won’t -rock your world when carving corners—and you wouldn’t buy one for that purpose anyway. But body roll is less than you’d expect. Still, for those who want something a little more engaging, there’s Sport trim with firmer damping, not to mention loads more power.

Ecoboost (245 hp, 275 lb/ ft), although the optional 3.5-litre V6 (280 hp, 250 lb/ft) is available on the latter two for another $500. Sport trim gets the 2.7-litre Ecoboost V6, which delivers an impressive 315 hp and 350 lb/ft of torque. My tester had the 2.0-litre four-cylinder, which was lively enough, not to mention capable of towing 3,500 lbs when properly equipped. Put your foot down hard, and the Edge moves off the line with some turbo lag, but comes into its own around 3,000 rpm. It’s not a rocket, but passing isn’t a white knuckle experience when you need to get by an RV or transport. I had no opportunity to drive the 2.7-litre V6, but colleague Jim Robinson was impressed with its power, likening it to a small V8. As you’d expect with any Ford product, Titanium comes well dressed, with my tester having tasteful satin chrome accents on the door panels and around the instruments, plenty of grained soft-touch surfaces and leather seating—power adjustable buckets up front, and 60/40 split bench in rear.

The camera helps you see what’s coming from either side when pulling out from between tall vehicles or past buildings. What’s cool is the nozzle that pops out to wash the lens when you hit the front washer. This time of year, cameras don’t stay clean for long.

Also interesting was the Active Park Assist, which uses side sensors to scan and evaluate suitable spaces, and then parallel parks your vehicle. Panoramic sunroofs are becoming increasingly popular on this kind of vehicle, and the Edge benefits from a mighty big one. The glass extends over both rows of seating, and for $2,000, it really opens up the interior. But you needn’t spend large for a well-equipped Edge as even the base model includes manual air conditioning, tilt/telescopic

Sports TRACK AND FIELD
Turner brothers go 1-2 at CIS nationals Warren Henderson Since being reunited in the fall of 2013, brothers James and Rostam Turner dreamed of the day they’d be on the podium together at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national track and field championships. The Kelowna siblings and teammates with the University of Toronto Blues realized that ambition last weekend at York University, finishing 1-2 in the men’s heptathlon. In his last CIS meet, James, 22, led the sevenevent competition from start to finish, winning the gold medal with 5,374 points. Rostam, 20, who scored five PBs during nationals, claimed the silver medal with 5,134 points. “When I originally moved to Toronto (in 2013), it was definitely a goal of ours,” Rostam said of going 1-2 at nationals. “We would talk about it in training, how cool it would be, as brothers, to do this by the end of James’ university career. It’s just a great

Kelowna brothers and U of T teammates James (left) and Rostam Turner took the gold and silver medals in men’s heptathlon at the CIS track and field championships last weekend in Toronto. feeling.” It was a triumphant farewell to university athletics for the elder Turner who capped off his fourth and final season with the Blues, while Rostam has just finished up his third year with the U of T program. James, a former Canadian senior and two-
time junior decathlon champ, was in control throughout nationals, winning five events—the 60 metres, 60 hurdles, long jump, shot put and high jump. Rostam placed second in four events, including recording a PB in the pole vault on Friday to secure the national silver.
The thrill of sharing the podium with his brother wasn’t lost on James, either. “Going 1-2 with my brother in my last year of CIS is awesome,” James Turner said. “It’s a pretty special thing, I’m humbled by it and my time competing for U of T.
“I’ve had a lot of ups and downs so it’s nice to end things off on such a high.” The two KSS grads and former Owls’ male athletes of the year, the Turners have spent much of the last three years training together, often six days a week. The younger Turner
believes both brothers have reaped the benefits. “We get along well and we really push each other to better,” said Rostam. “All that time training together, I think it’s been good for both us.” With James’ university career at an end, he’ll now focus his efforts on qualifying in decathlon for this summer’s Olympic Games in Rio. Next up is the Mt. SAC relays April 8 in California. Turner’s PB is currently 7,773 points, 323 points shy of the Olympic standard of 8,100. “I think he’s got a good shot at it,” Rostam said of his older brother’s chances of getting to Rio. “All of his individual personal bests would be enough, so I think he’s definitely capable of getting there.” While James aims for Rio, Rostam will work towards this summer’s national combined events championships in Ottawa, as well as trying to earn a berth on Canada’s U23 team for the North American-Central American championships (NACAC). @capnewsports
Kelowna Rockets move into postseason mode Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
Rourke Chartier sees no downside to a second-place finish in the WHL’s B.C. Division. Quite the contrary, the 19-year-old centre believes the Kelowna Rockets are well-positioned heading into the 2015-16 playoffs. With the potential of home-ice advantage for at least the first two rounds, Chartier said the Rockets are on solid ground for a meaningful postseason run. “It would have been nice to have home ice for the whole playoffs, but last year we didn’t finish first in our league and we had to win a series on the road, so at the end of the day (second) isn’t that big of a deal,” Chartier said.
“Playoffs are a different monster and we’ll be ready.” The Rockets will see the B.C. Division’s third-place finisher—either Kamloops or Prince George—in the best-of-seven opening round, beginning Friday, March 25 at Prospera Place. The Blazers have a four-point lead on the Cougars, as the two teams face off head-to-head twice this weekend to close out the regular season. The Rockets, who will close out the regular season with two against the Giants, would like use those as momentum builders into the playoffs. Kelowna (46-20-4-0) hasn’t been at its best, losing five of the last seven games, including a 7-4 setback Wednesday night at home to the Victoria Royals (4816-3-3), who clinched both the B.C. Division and WHL overall regular season titles in the process.
The loss—the Rockets fifth in eight games against the Royals—also officially ended Kelowna’s three-year reign as B.C. champs. While the most recent outcomes haven’t been satisfactory, head coach Brad Ralph said if his team stays the course, success will follow. “I think we’re playing better hockey,” said Ralph. “We haven’t been getting the results, I think we’re finding ways to lose right now rather than finding ways to win. I like the direction we’re moving in, so I’m confident we’ll find a way there.” The Rockets will visit Vancouver on Friday night, before wrapping up the season against the Giants on Saturday at Prospera Place. @capnewsports

Cooke named CIS goalie of the year What a season it’s been for former Kelowna Rockets stopper Jordon Cooke. The 22-yearold member of the Saskatchewan Huskies has been named the CIS goaltender of the year and an all-Canadian. Earlier this month, the Leduc, AB native was named the Canada West goalie of the year, in addition to being named to the conference all-star team. In his second season with the Huskies, Cooke set a new program record with 19 victories, while leading the conference with .921 save percentage. His play led the Huskies (22-6-0) to their first Canada West regular season title in 16 seasons. “Jordon’s strong play early on in the year really gave our young team the confidence it needed to believe that it could be successful,” said Saskatchewan head coach Dave Adolph. “Every night he gave us a chance to win and our team would find a way.” Cooke and the Huskies are in Halifax this week for the CIS national men’s university championship. In four season with the WHL’s Rockets, Cooke posted a 92-34-4-8 record. In his final season in Kelowna, 2013-14, he was named the WHL’s goaltender of the year.

Molson Superleague of Curling Championship semi-finals • Tidy Tushees (Skip – Sean Matheson) (6th) vs Sunset Ranch (Skip – Jeff Richard) (2nd): Sunset Ranch was down 3-2 after three ends when they blew the game open with a four-ender and then backed it up with a steal of three for the 9-3 victory after only five ends. The Richard rink moved onto this week’s final against Team Cseke. • Edward Jones (Skip - Adam Cseke) (1st) vs Stolairus Aviation (Skip - Dave Mellof) (4th):
A great game that saw Stolairus Aviation come back from a 4-0 deficit after three ends to tie the game at 5-5 after six. The seventh was blanked which left the eighth end for a place in the final. Team Mellof was down to last rock with a chance to bury around a high guard and when their rock picked, it looked like it was over but the rock recovered its turn and sweeping was able to bring it to the button slightly covered. Team Cseke made no mistake removing the rock and their back rock counted for the 6-5 victory.

CIS title for teammates Two former Kelowna high school volleyball players celebrated a CIS men’s volleyball title last weekend with the University of Trinity Western Spartans. Former Kelowna Volleyball Club members, Leigh Goossen and Scott Plocktis helped TWU to a 3-1 win over McMaster University Saturday in the gold medal match in Hamilton. Goosen, a 6-foot5 middle who is in his fourth season with the Spartans, played his high school volleyball with the Kelowna Christian Knights. He was ill the last two days of nationals, but with medication and an IV treatment, was able to play in the final. Plocktis, also a fourthyear university player, is a 6-foot-4 outside hitter and was a member of the Mt. Boucherie Bears. Both players saw action in all three matches at the Canadian championship.

Opus art supplies shop shows it has HeArt A unique fundraiser by Opus Art Supplies Kelowna to support the HeArt Cart Program was recently held and netted art supplies, cash and an Opus gift card totalling over $2,500. The HeArt Cart program began over five years ago with support from friends of Kelowna resident Nel Clark, who died in 2010. This program connects volunteers with clients , friends and family members to create unique memories through the production of art. The program is currently being offered by volunteers Carolyn Cowan, Tara Davies, Elizabeth McLean and Dawn Wrightson and the program will always welcome more individuals who would like to get involved in this meaningful way. The Central Okanagan Hospice Association says the appreciated donation will add a quality of life to families who are dealing with end-of-life issues and provide an opportunity to create a lasting memory with those they love.

Nobody likes to discover that they have been manipulated by a negotiation tactic. Once burned, do you feel like telling the world about it? I am about to “tell the world” about how I allowed myself to be manipulated by a negotiation tactic, one I ought to have been prepared for because it is regularly used on my clients by ICBC and other insurance companies. This is my second of a series of columns exposing tactics used by insurance companies when negotiating personal injury claims. By learning about these tactics, I am hopeful that you might avoid being manipulated by them in any negotiation you might encounter. A number of displays had been set up one evening at the all-inclusive resort in Mexico where we had been staying. A beautiful, stone, chess set caught my eye. My father had hand crafted a wooden set, which got me interested in playing chess when I was a boy. Even though I had never become a master chess player, I liked the idea of having a beautiful set in our home so that perhaps my own children would show an interest. I was new to holidaying in Mexico, but knew enough that you never pay the sticker price.
Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT It was a handsome sticker price. I didn’t expect it to be so expensive. I really had no idea, though. Each piece had to be hand carved, and then there’s all the stone tiling on the board. Really a piece of art. But you get what you pay for, right? This was nothing like the multitude of mass produced trinkets that crowded all the other shelves. I actually felt a little guilty dickering on the price of such a beautiful piece of art, but haggling is what it’s all about when you’re wheeling and dealing in Mexico. I got a really good deal at the end of it all, convincing the seller to let the set go at a significant discount. The sick feeling in my stomach, when I realized I had grossly overpaid, came when following my wife around a nearby town a couple days later. The exact same style and quality of chess set was on display by the dozen, the sticker price even less than the “deal” I got from the vendor at the resort. How did I, someone who negotiates millions of dollars of claims every

year, get “taken” in a negotiation? I entered into the negotiation without having a clue about the value of the item I was negotiating for. The grossly inflated sticker price set the stage of the negotiation. The vendor was able to suck me in to paying much more than I should have by giving me what felt like a great deal because he reduced his price so much. It’s a classic ICBC negotiation tactic. They’ll start negotiations at $5,000 or less for claims where fair compensation for injuries and losses is $40,000 or more. By doing so, they set the stage of the negotiation. The unsuspecting injury victim knows enough to
for children with a variety of speech and language needs
not accept ICBC’s first offer, and feels like they got a good deal when ICBC goes up to $15,000. The most “fun” example of this in my practice was where a client retained me after ICBC had offered $8,000 to settle a soft tissue injury claim that ended up settling for fair financial compensation of over $800,000. How do you protect yourself from this negotiation tactic? Do what I should have done in Mexico. Find out the true value of the item you are negotiating for, so that an unfairly high (or low in the case of a personal injury negotiation) sticker price doesn’t manipulate you into an unfair result. If negotiating for a house, consult an appraiser or real estate agent; if negotiating for a vehicle, consult a vehicle
appraiser; if negotiating a personal injury claim, ask a personal injury lawyer for a free claim evaluation. This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case. Paul Hergott is a personal injury lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

Men swim with green sea turtles in Akumal, Mexico.
Touring Tulum, the tranquil side of Riviera Maya Josh Noel contributor
For the first half of my Mexican vacation, I never left a one-mile radius. That’s why we go to resorts, right? The daily swim in the infinity pool. Pushing the baby around in some floating contraption in another pool. Sipping a margarita in yet another pool. Gluttonous dinners offset hopefully— but not likely—by the 15-minute walk to the white sand beach overlooking the gleaming Caribbean Sea. And repeat. But five days of such splendour at the Fairmont Mayakoba near Playa del Carmen was quite enough. That’s why I spent the second half of my winter getaway stretching my legs. I rented a car and moved down the beach to a hotel nearer Tulum to better explore one of Mexico’s most popular destinations, Riviera Maya, an expansive stretch of Caribbean coast where many people go precisely not to leave a 1-mile radius. But sometimes the legs need stretching.
EXPLORING TULUM
What is called Tulum is actually two starkly different places. One is a hot, dusty collection
of streets about two miles from the coast. The other hugs the coast. I started in town, parking my car on a side street and walking up and down Tulum Avenue, which doubles as the primary highway running along the coast. (Forget images of a beautiful Mexican coastal drive; the beach has largely been reserved for private development, which means you won’t see a drop of water from the car.) What was a sleepy backwater not long ago has had an infusion of modernity, such as the restaurant Burrito Amor, which, like many of the most charming eateries in the area, has no walls: just a low wood enclosure, dangling lights and small menu of well-constructed burritos, including vegetarian options. Though there are some progressive food options in the town of Tulum—bohemian cafes, upscale pizza and the like—it’s a fairly charmless place and features the same gas station/ convenience store/fast food/tourist schlock lineup as anywhere. So it’s best to get to the beach. A couple of miles east, down a paved road buzzing with rental cars, taxis, scooters, bicycles and hitchhikers, sits that beach, in a very different place also called Tulum. This Tulum amounts to a road hugged by
thick trees. One side is the jungle side, which is where the restaurants and shops stand. The other side is the beach side. That, unsurprisingly, is where the hotels are. There’s barely any sidewalk along this road, which leaves visitors to walk amid the passing traffic between the cafes, restaurants and boutique shops. It’s smoothies and espresso, boutique hotels and eco this-and-that, bike rentals and racks of straw hats, cool dudes in tank tops and women in bikini tops (almost all American, at least in January). More than anything, Tulum is about yoga, health and general relaxation, with almost endless options for classes, instruction and hotel stays catering to the wellness getaway. The beach is largely hidden behind the hotels, though fortunately, they’re generally of the modest and boutique variety, not the sprawling concrete behemoths farther north on the coast. I stopped in at The Real Coconut, the beachfront restaurant at the Sanara hotel, which offered menu items such as “Heaps of Kale,” a gluten, grain and dairy-free quesadilla and a hemp burger. I opted for a mint chocolate ice cream smoothie (delicious—with no actual ice cream) and avocado toast (gluten-free, of course), which was robust, fresh and as delicious as any avocado toast I’ve had.
A breeze blew in from the gleaming ocean, across the attractive people from New York City who lounged on the patio with their coldpressed green juices. After the avocado toast, I walked down to the broad, white beach and spied a chalkboard touting the 9 a.m. daily yoga class. The cost? Just a “loving donation.” Yup. That’s Tulum. Also: This stretch of coast is much more than Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Little towns worth visiting include Puerto Morelos, Puerto Aventuras and Akumal.
SWIMMING WITH TURTLES
About 15 miles north of Tulum sits Akumal, where many people visit for one reason: snorkeling with green sea turtles. (A guided tour with snorkeling equipment costs $15 to $25.) I wound up with a guide named Moises, who told two German tourists and me that the green sea turtles come to the shallow waters off Akumal to feast on the grass growing from the sandy floor. Masks tight on our faces and flippers aflutter, we headed into the calm Caribbean waters. Within minutes, Moises was pointing at a handsome speckled turtle, about 2 feet long, puttering along the ocean floor,

LAS RUINAS
In addition to its beaches and cenotes, Riviera Maya—and the general region, stretching down to Central America—is well known for its hundreds of Mayan ruins. An entire trip to the area could be dedicated to nothing but ruins by day and margaritas by night. I carved out time for just one visit, and it, too, is called Tulum (entry cost is only a few dollars). Situated a couple of miles north of the town of the same name, the Tulum ruins sit mostly on a cliff above the sea and include their own beach. I took everyone’s advice and arrived

There’s always lots of activity on the beach in Tulum, Mexico. shortly after the 8 a.m. opening. The miserable overcrowding and long lines were nowhere to be found. I was free to move unhurriedly between the fascinating stone structures dating back hundreds of years beneath a moody grey sky and above a swaying blue-green sea. Also: There are many Mayan sites to explore in the immediate area, none more famous than Chichen Itza, which is three hours away but
considered one of the world’s seven wonders for a reason.
HUNGRY AT HARTWOOD
The night I planned to eat at Tulum’s trendiest restaurant, it was closed because of rain. Having no ceiling will do that. Fortunately, the next night was Riviera Maya perfection—70s and gently breezy, which allowed me to check out Hartwood (www. hartwoodtulum.com). Started by a husband-
wife team from New York City, Hartwood generates a two-hour wait just to get a reservation when they become available every day at 3 p.m. Show up any later than 2:30 and you’re likely to get the first seating, at 5:30 p.m. Show up much later and you’re eating somewhere else. Situated on the jungle side of that road running through beachfront Tulum, Hartwood is certainly not the only meal worth your time in Tulum. But sometimes hype is deserved, and so it is in this case. Hartwood is rustically beautiful, from the lack of
the ceiling to the gravel floor and the roaring wood fires from where most dishes hail since there’s no conventional oven or stove on site. The menu, written on a chalkboard, included several fresh fish options (snook, mackerel and yellowtail amberjack). Following the server’s recommendation, we had the octopus (very tender), skirt steak, an heirloom tomato salad and, quite literally, the finest, freshest empanadas I’ve ever tasted. As succulent as the tender pork was inside, the dough—a beautiful, freshly baked grainy texture—was the
revelation. What makes Hartwood such an intoxicating experience is difficult to pin down, because it is in fact everything about Hartwood that is so intoxicating—the warm Mexican breeze tinged with incense, the dub music drifting from the speakers, an icy cocktail on a warm day, and fresh, thoughtful food beneath a canopy of trees. Hartwood is a special experience, but there are many well-regarded restaurants in Tulum, including Mateo’s (www. mateosmexicangrill. us) and Arca (www. arcatulum.com).

ducking its head into and out of the swaying grass. Guides guarantee a tourist will see at least one turtle, and it soon became clear why: They’re all over the place. We swam from turtle to turtle—and a resting stingray, half-buried by the sand—watching them move their little snakelike heads as they ate, then rose to the surface to gasp some air. After 45 minutes of turtle-watching, I walked half a mile down the road to La Buena Vida (www. labuenavidarestaurant. com), a beach restaurant that’s the definition of a beach restaurant—no walls, no roof and just a sandy floor shaded by coconut trees and thatched umbrellas. I ordered ceviche, guacamole and a strong, limey margarita, with proved yet again that there is no finer meal than ceviche, guacamole and a strong, limey margarita. Also: The Riviera Maya is well known for cenotes—naturally occurring sinkholes filled with water. They’re popular attractions for swimming and diving.

WALK FOR PEACE
Local group organizes march to MP’s office March 19 marks the 13th anniversary of the U.S. “shock and awe” invasion of Iraq. February, the month before the attack, saw some of the largest peace demonstrations in Kelowna and around the world, millions saying “no” to war. Mark Haley, a Kelowna Peace Group member, says time has shown the peace movement to have been right—the excuses for the attack were false
and the predicted murder, mayhem, destruction and misery followed—only much worse than anyone could have imagined. Those who called for military action were proven wrong, says Haley. In addition to the loss of thousands of lives and infrastructure destruction, an expanding number of “failed states” including Afghanistan and Libya were swept up into the ensuing chaos, he noted. “An Iraqi general Ali
Jameel was asked recently after the ‘liberation’ of Ramadi from Daesh (ISIL), ‘When will the people be able to return to their homes?’ ‘Homes?’ he said. ‘There are no homes,’”Haley said. “Rubble, no electricity, no water, no resources to rebuild—this is the foreign policy of the one per cent enacted largely from 30,000 feet. “Now we have a newly elected government and MP who promised to end
Canada’s ‘combat role’ instead expanding it. “Yes the planes were withdrawn. The U.S. military planners told Trudeau: ‘Look, we have enough planes; we need more boots on the ground.’ Canada complies,”continued Haley. “Trudeau said the deployment will last at least two years. ‘We’re not leaving…Canada is uniquely equipped to handle this job because
we just spent 10 years in Afghanistan. We learned a lot of things there, according to (KelownaLake Country MP Stephen) Fuhr’s website. Really?” The Kelowna Peace Group will stage a protest walk from The Sails at the foot of Bernard Avenue in downtown Kelowna starting at 1 p.m. on Saturday, the plan being to march through the city to Fuhr’s MP office on St. Paul Street.

• MORE POWER • BETTER FUEL ECONOMY •LEGENDARY HYBRID RELIABILITY
You pay for only the part of the car that you are going to use. The payment on a Lease is made on a much smaller balance than a comparable term loan. The tax is paid as you go, and not up front, as with a purchase. With a Lease you get a smaller obligation and smaller payment, and less taxes.
A lease gives you options that give you more control of vehicle costs. Equity may accumulate due to Toyota’s strong resale value; the value may actually increase! A lease protects you from any loss in vehicle value due to any unforeseen price influences (economic conditions, manufacture problems, accident declarations, vehicle loss of popularity, gas consumption, etc) . And you can buy out the lease and own that vehicle at any time.
Earn up to 25,000 points!!
A lease can give you better cash flow. The lease gives you a new car with smaller payments and the ability to cash in on any equity. Smaller payments may allow you to buy that new car (warranty, features, etc.) rather than a used one that may involve more maintenance or repairs.
