RUTLAND PARK SOCIETY
War of accusations keeps raging on Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
An attempt by the embattled president of the Rutland Park Society to get one of his sharpest critics to join the society’s board in a bid to help move the society
forward appears to have failed. Todd Sanderson, who along with treasurer Wendi Swarbrick are the only two RPS board members left after a mass resignation of directors two weeks ago, said Tuesday he was reaching out to David Buckna
Buckna confirmed Sanderson phoned him three times and sent “several” emails since last Saturday. He did not say if he had responded to any of them.

Creating music still a motivating force Barry Gerding bgerding@kelownacapnews.com
The craft of writing a lyric and putting it to music is one that Lee Aaron still finds fulfilling today in a singing career that dates back to the early 1980s. “If you had asked me in 1995 if I would still be writing songs and recording an album in 2015, I probably would not have envisioned that,” said Aaron. “But I feel blessed in my life right now and inspired to write music. My health is good, I’m able to still record music in my home studio and I still getting out there and performing live.” Aaron, 54, is one of the throwback music performers in the Rock The Lake outdoor music festival taking place Aug. 12 to 14 in the Prospera Place parking lot. Aaron will be opening the set for the Aug. 13 lineup with Jerry Doucette, Harlequin and Streetheart. “I think I am on the stage at 5 p.m. so hopefully it won’t be to hot,” Aaron said this week, interviewed by the

The parking lot of Prospera Place in downtown Kelowna is the venue for the inaugural Rock the Lake outdoor music festival to be held over three consecutive nights, from Aug. 12 to 14.
Lee Aaron will perform as part of the Saturday, Aug. 13, performing lineup for Rock The Lake. Kelowna Capital News while on a break for holidaying with her family in Osoyoos. While Aaron enjoys these revival concerts that feature bands popular in Canada during the late 1970s through the early ‘90s, she is one of the few that is still recording new material as opposed to just touring off the old familiar hits. Her new album, Fire And Gasoline, is now out and selling well in different pockets of the
world, including Canada, Britain, Germany, Japan, Argentina and Brazil. She has done three videos for songs the album which are racking up thousands of hits on Utube. “For me, it’s not so much about the money now but being able to create and write new music and have people positively respond to it. It’s nice to still be able to do that.”

experience she feels has made her a better singer and took her away from the pop music formula trap. “I always viewed my voice as an instrument and I always had a love for how jazz singers used their voice as an instrument rather than just to sing a song. Rock music audiences come to see you perform the songs they like just as they hear them on a record, but jazz gives you the opportunity as a singer and musician to take a song in a different direction. It forces you to follow your intuitive feelings in the moment. Jazz is the purist type of expression in music.” Aaron said that experience assisted her in writing new songs for the Fire And Gasoline album, as she would record herself responding to a music track with whatever entered her mind in that moment. “What happened was I would listen to the playback and come away with the idea for a lyric and build it from there. It changed the way I write songs for this new album and I think there is an
authenticity in the songs because of that, and I’m getting feedback from people saying they get the same feeling from listening to them.” After moving into the jazz genre, Aaron stepped to the music sidelines for nearly a decade to get married to her band’s drummer and start a family. She’s now a mom to two kids, ages 10 and 11. Aaron says kids have a way of grounding you, and hers are no different after being taken aback at first seeing their mom up on stage playing the rock’n roll singer role. “When they saw me perform at the PNE, they were impressed by their mom up their on stage swinging the microphone around and catching it. They were also fascinated by people coming up to the merchandising table and asking for my autograph and buying stuff, seeing that their mom was something other than their mom to other people,” she laughed. “But in the end, I’m just mom and not some big rock star to them. One time in Guildford Mall (in Surrey), my son and I went into the Lego
store to get something, and guy in the store recognized who I was and gave my son some free Lego. He was more impressed that he got free Lego than the fact I was recognized.” Aaron says today she is driven by her creative energy rather than trying to make it big again, particularly how the rock music business has gone in decline with the advent of social media. Social marketing is almost as important as the music itself, something Aaron is troubled by but realizes to market her new album, she needs to wade into that fray even just a little bit. “Social media has changed things to where it’s not just good enough anymore to write good music. You have to keep up with the social media jones so to speak, you have to create a newsworthy social media following so I have a bit of a love-hate relationship with that aspect of the business today,” she said. The Internet in general, she says, has also changed the world of recording artists to where they now rely on concerts to earn a living as the big
dollar album contracts of her era have long since disappeared. “I still get royalties for radio play of my songs and I get a decent cheque along with quarterly statement that reads like a thin magazine. I recently received my first streaming music royalty cheque and the statement is literally like a small novel, but it amounted to $59.You just look at the all that and think how does that work?” She cites the case of Pharrell Williams, who for writing and performing the hit song Happy earned all of $20,000, which is why artists are touring to earn a living as free access to their music has cut off what used to be a lucrative source of income. But while that is a financial sign of the times in the music world, Aaron says that is not depressing for her because she is still about making the music. “Your motivation can’t just be money, it has to also be a love of music. “There is no better feeling that to write music and get the kind of warm feedback I have received for my new album Fire And Gasoline. That is why I do this.”

The trial for the three men accused of the 2011 gangland style slaying of Jonathan Bacon has again been delayed. Jujhar Khun-Khun, Jason Thomas McBride and Michael Hunter Jones will now go to trial May 1, 2017 for one charge of first-degree murder apiece, as well as multiple attempted murder charges and firearms offences. That date marks nearly six years since the shooting that threw Kelowna into chaos. “Clearly, this kind of incident is very rare in Kelowna.

The shooting also wounded a full-patch member of the Hells Angels, Larry Amero, a member of the Independent Soldiers gang, James Riach, and two women— including Leah Hadden Watts who was left a paraplegic. Although there were no bystanders injured in the attack, a stray bullet did puncture the window of the art gallery at a time when children are often gathered for art classes. Staff at the Delta Grand reportedly suffered emotional scars from the incident that left a bloody trail around the hotel.

UBC Okanagan researchers are one step closer to identifying the biological personalities of the world’s greatest wines. In a recent study, UBCO researchers Dan Durall and Mansak (Ben) Tantikachornkiat developed a technique that combines a process to identify the full spectrum of DNA in yeast and bacteria samples with a technique that distinguishes between live and dead microorganisms. “Since only live microorganisms are relevant
in the various stages of fermentation as they relate to the senses, this study provides some of the important tools that will be necessary to determine why different types of wine taste and smell as they do,” said Durall, an associate professor of biology at UBCO. “While more research needs to be conducted, these findings could also lead to the identification and elimination of microorganisms that are responsible for spoilage.” In undertaking the study, the pair used a

Steve Holmes said at a press conference shortly after the incident. “The public needs to know that swift and extraordinary measures are being taken in order to ensure that those responsible will be found and brought to account before the courts.” McBride, Khun-Khun and Jones’s arrest came two years after the killing, and their original trial was scheduled for April 4, 2016. It was then delayed to Nov. 7, 2016. Bacon, a 30-year-old Red Scorpion gang leader, was shot to death out side the Delta Grand Hotel as he got into his Porsche Cayenne Aug. 14, 2011.

This allows scientists to identify and focus on the more relevant aspects of a test sample. “This technique allows us to quickly and accurately monitor in one experiment what previously could have taken multiple experiments and months of trial and error,” said Tantikachornkiat. “This will inevitably make research in this area faster, cheaper and more efficient. “The next stages of research will focus this technique on different types of wine making methods to see how they change micro-organisms that affect the final wine product.”

Rival planned meetings add to society confusion Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
If disgruntled Rutland Park Society members hold a meeting to elect people they say will be new society board members, where will they hold the meeting? The members have planned their Aug. 9 meeting for the Rutland Centennial Hall, but embattled RPS president Todd Sanderson said Thursday the hall will not be available to them. While denying a rumour being circulated by his opponents that he intends to change the locks on the building to keep them out, Sanderson said the society will not pay to have the hall staffed for the meeting, making it unavailable for use. The brouhaha over a location for the meeting—which is not
sanctioned by what remains of the RPS board—is the latest skirmish in an escalating fight over the running of the society and the future of the aging Rutland Centennial Hall. Following a heated RPS meeting two weeks ago that resulted in all but Sanderson and treasurer Wendi Swarbrick resigning from the board, accusations have been publicly flying about how the society is run, who can and can’t sit on the board, and what will happen next. The latest rumour circulated by Sanderson’s opponents is that he intends to rescind the resignations of the board members who quit two weeks ago. Sanderson denied that on Thursday and some former board members said they had no intention of rejoining the board.
Meanwhile, the fight between Sanderson and Swarbrick continues to simmer. The planned Aug. 9 meeting, called by RPS members unhappy with Sanderson’s leadership, is to elect a new board, say organizers.But former board members question the legality of such a move. The meeting two weeks ago was originally scheduled to determine the future of Swarbrick on the board. But it deteriorated after verbal altercations between audience members and board members and resulted in the mass resignation of directors. Since then, Sanderson has said he suspended Swarbrick because of what he described as a conflict of interest. She denies any conflict and told the Capital News she
plans to sue Sanderson for defamation. Sanderson said he has scheduled a meeting Aug. 12 with Swarbrick to hear why she should not be dismissed from the board. Swarbrick has said she will not go that meeting. If Swarbrick is a noshow, Sanderson said he will dismiss her from the board, something he said he can do, according to a legal opinion from the society’s lawyer. The RPS constitution says 3/5 of the board are required to vote in favour of dismissing a board member. Currently there are just two board members, Sanderson and Swarbrick. Sanderson, on behalf of the society, was to issue a news release late Thursday—after the Capital News deadline— explaining how it plans to move forward. For more on the news
Hall’s fate caught in the crossfire SOCIETY FROM A1 On Wednesday, after three emails to Buckna —a prolific writer of letters and emails to local news organizations— by the Kelowna Capital News, he admitted he was not eligible to be a director because he had only been a member of the society for four months after letting his membership lapse in 2014. The RPS constitution says to be eligible for election as a board director, a person must have been a member for at least five months. Buckna, who is supporting Swarbrick in a battle with Sanderson over the running of the society, has been a vocal critic of Sanderson and other, now former, board members. Earlier this week, Sanderson said he had suspended Swarbrick after discovering what he said was a conflict of interest and planned to hold a meeting with her Aug. 12, to give her an opportunity to explain her side of the story before taking further action. Swarbrick has denied any conflict and said she planned to sue Sanderson for defamation. She told the Capital News she will not attend the meeting with Sanderson, adding society members are planning their own meeting Aug. 9
to elect a new board. According to the RPS constitution, the support of 3/5 of the board is required to dismiss a director—something that would, on the face of it, appear difficult with only two members of the board left and one of them being the director facing dismissal. But Sanderson said he was acting on legal advice because if there was a conflict and he did not deal with it, he could be sued personally by the incoming board. Meanwhile, Sanderson said he has repeatedly tried to get a copy of the society’s books from Swarbrick, who as treasurer according to the society constitution, is responsible to “keep the financial records, including books of accounts, necessary to comply with the Society Act of British Columbia.” But Swarbrick said Tuesday she does not have any financial records. They are held, she said, by a bookkeeper that, she claims, the board hired. Former board members have questioned why Swarbrick could not get the RPS society books from the bookkeeper given that he not only reports to her, but works in the same office building as Swarbrick. Sanderson, who like Swarbrick is an accountant, said he needs
the books in order to have them reviewed by an independent auditor before handing them over to the next board. Sanderson has said he does not plan to seek another term as president of the Rutland Park Society. The society operates the Rutland Centennial Hall and has commissioned a
consultant’s report on the hall’s future, which has yet to be presented to the RPS board for consideration. The society also has $800,000 it received from the City of Kelowna when it sold the city the adjacent Rutland Centennial Park last year. That money could be used to either refurbish or build a new hall.

A man was sent to hospital suffering from serious injuries after allegedly being shot several times by a suspect who remains in police custody. On Tuesday at 10:14 p.m., the West Kelowna RCMP responded to a report of a shooting that had just occurred on Hudson Road near Highway 97. Initial information gathered at the scene indicated the victim met with a man on a bike who produced a firearm and fired multiple rounds into the victim’s vehicle. During the confrontation the
suspect was struck by the vehicle. A perimeter was established and RCMP Police Dog Services were called to the scene to assist with a search for the suspect. “The suspect was located by officers, along with PSD “Ice,” hiding in the immediate area and suffering from injuries believed to be non-life threatening in nature,” said Const. Jesse O’Donaghey. “The RCMP believe that this was a targeted incident, not a random attack.” The suspect, a 29-year-old West Kelowna man, remains in police custody and faces potential

Kokanee numbers overcome fish kill Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com
A kokanee fish kill in Okanagan Lake in July wasn’t severe enough to have a significant impact on the lake’s overall kokanee population, which has enjoyed a strong recovery over the past several years. The B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural
Resource Operations has completed testing more than 80 kokanee that were seized after washing ashore in July. More than 1,000 fish turned up on the shores and biologists have now made determinations as to what happened, although they can’t say for sure. According to the ministry, “biologists can’t

More than 80 fish were
tested all were negative for the virus. The die-off is a relatively common occurrence with at least three other die-offs of this kind in the past eight years, with this year’s event relatively small by comparison. Likely, high winds sent warm surface water lower into the lake and caused the fish to die.
NDP leader blasts premier over parks NDP leader John Horgan says the provincial government hike in campground fees threatens one of the last options for affordable family vacations. “Christy Clark raised B.C. Parks camping fees yet again this year, and families have never had so much trouble booking a spot for a vacation,” said Horgan, speaking from Okanagan Lake Provincial Park near Summerland, where camping fees went up more than 16 per cent last year. “People lucky enough to find a campsite here at Okanagan Lake are being forced to pay even more money to experience one of the jewels in our provincial campground system this year. “The Christy Clark government is making it harder and harder to enjoy the beautiful campgrounds British Columbians have already paid for with their taxes, and I say it’s time to let B.C. camp,” Horgan said. “After a decade and a half of rising costs and stagnant wages under the B.C. Liberal government, families need access to affordable vacations more than ever. Yet it’s never been more difficult to secure a campsite at B.C. Parks.”
Armed robbery in Rutland Kelowna RCMP were on the hunt Thursday afternoon for an armed robbery suspect who held up the Hollywood Deli. Police responded to the scene at 1:34 p.m. at 544 Hollywood Rd. South, to learn that a suspect had entered the deli store, produced a handgun and demanded money from the lone employee in the business at the time. The suspect fled the scene in a late model Ford pickup truck with an undisclosed amount of cash. He is described as a Caucasian male with a goatee, wearing a t-shirt, blue jeans, blue baseball cap and black running shoes, and a full sleeve tattoo on his left arm. The truck is described as a late 1980’s model, possibly a Ford F150, silver in colour.

Stay alert for Pokemon hunters A zombie, following a Pokemon, steps out onto the street ahead of your vehicle. You see it coming “a mile away.” You’ve heard of the Pokemon craze that has zombified the population; folks wandering around with their eyes glued to the screens of their cell phones. It’s broad daylight and this particular zombie has all the characteristics. He’s watching the screen of his cell phone, not where he’s going. He’s mid-block, not at a crosswalk. He’s blindly walking into the street. You feel confident that you have the “right of way,” and you would be correct. Section 180 of the Motor Vehicle Act says: “When a pedestrian is crossing a highway at a point not in a crosswalk, the pedestrian must yield the right of way to a vehicle.” So, of course, you confidently maintain your speed and continue forward.

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT would that be about as morally bankrupt as could be imagined, that would offend section 181(a) which requires you to “… exercise due care to avoid colliding with a pedestrian who is on the highway”. Morality and the rules of the road aside, I expect that there is a Criminal Code provision that would put you behind bars for a long time if you made the conscious choice of mowing down a pedestrian because you had the right of way. By the way, the word “highway” in the Motor Vehicle Act is very broadly defined to include all manner of roads, streets and lane-ways (see section 1 of the Act). Another “by the way” is that the Motor Vehicle Act is readily available online, along with the Criminal Code and all other provincial and

Both the motorist and pedestrian were zombies, but the pedestrian clearly had the right of way. In that case, the pedestrian shared the blame even though she was established within a crosswalk. She was found 25 per cent responsible for the collision because she wasn’t looking out for her own safety. What about this scenario, where the motorist is the one who has the clear right of way? Wouldn’t you know, a court would likely divide fault in this scenario as well. A useful, and authoritative, description of the law can be found in the case of Ashe v. Werstiuk, 2004 BCCA

The August Family Foundation’s inaugural Okanagan Dream Rally will roll through downtown Kelowna this Sunday. The rally begins with a public display of the car lineup from 9 to 10:30 a.m. with about 80 vehicles in procession starting at Kerry Park up along Bernard Avenue. To accommodate the event, Bernard Avenue will be closed from 6 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. between Abbott and Water. The Okanagan Dream Car Rally offers children with special needs and their families an opportunity to experience a ride from Kelowna to Penticton and back in one of 80 sports or luxury cars, an initiative organized by August Luxury Motorcars for the foundation, supported by the vehicle contributions of private individuals and the Kelowna Auto Dealers Association. Upon their return, a wrap-up reception will be held at August Luxury Motorcars dealership, 884 McCurdy Place in Kelowna starting at about 3 p.m. The funds raised at the rally will be in support of building a Central Okanagan Hospice Association bereavement centre, generated from business sponsorship of each vehicle and a silent auction at the rally. “Life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, so let’s show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile. We are only on the earth a short time, so help give a thousand smiles to a child that needs it,” said Matt August, owner of the August Luxury Motorcars.

LETTER OF THE WEEK residents of the Okanagan Valley and south. The 53 farms (approximately 150 people) on the Steele Springs Waterworks District have been under a water advisory since March 6, 2014 when the nitrate level in the springs coming from Aquifer 103 exceeded 10 ppm, the maximum allowable content (MAC) under the Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines. On July 14 of that year, another 150 people on private wells in the Hullcar Valley were advised by Dr.

Trevor Corneil of Interior Health to have their private well water tested at least once per year because of the nitrate contamination. A Compliance Order was issued by Mike Reiner, senior environmental protection officer, on the HS Jansen and Sons dairy farm on Knob Hill Rd. as the “likely” source of the contamination as they spread thousands of gallons per acre of liquid effluent from their flush barn, which uses water to flush the excrement and urine from the barn, rather than the more common scraper system. The liquid effluent is held in a lagoon, the solids removed and the remainder sprayed on the farm fields behind a tractor with an umbilical cord attached to nearby underground piping. Reiner pinpointed the “field of concern” as the location of the problem, a 220-acre field adjacent to and over top of Steele Springs, the only significant natural outlet for the aquifer. Since then, trustees of Steele Springs, led by chairman Dr. Brian

It was late in August 2015 when I watched as smoke from wildfires raging in Washington state rolled over the valley, bringing with it apocalyptic scenarios that plagued my dreams for days on end. Worse, however, was the sheer thickness of the air. It seemed impossible to breathe, and, with a toddler in my care, I felt like I had no choice but to flee.

power for days. Bascially Mother Nature forced hours of awkward conversations on me, amounting to the worst vacation on record. So, I’m digging the rain. I just hope it doesn’t wash away the collective realization that we live in a changing world and the value of thoughtful interaction with all that is around us. In case it does, here’s this little reminder of what we’re facing courtesy of the annual global checkup from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA reported this week that in 2015, temperatures fuelled by a combination of the effects of global warming and one of the strongest El Niño events on record broke previously smashed records from 2014 making it the hottest year in 136 years. Closer to home, we know those hot temperatures led to drought and fire, but that’s just...er...the tip of the iceberg. Glaciers have been melting for decades, but 2015 warmed the sea and air sending the melt into hyperdrive. Most dramatically, according the NOAA report, were changes in the Greenland ice sheet which reached the halfway melting point in 2015.

Penguins in the area are at perilously low populations due to the changes in their environment. And they’re not alone. Let’s not get me started on the polar bear and its plight. Moving on, NOAA addresses changes in the beautiful waters that sustain this planet. The globally averaged sea surface temperature was the highest on record in 2015, breaking the previous mark set in 2014. The highest temperature departures from average occurred in part of the northeast Pacific. The North Atlantic southeast of Greenland remained colder than average and was colder than 2014. Globally, upper ocean heat content exceeded the record set in 2014. Coral is dying at a rapid rate due to these changes. More than a third of the world’s coral reefs are under an official death watch. The reefs just can’t survive when the water is so warm. And, in case you thought the bad news ended there, NOAA reported that the average global sea level rose to a new record high in 2015 and was about 70 mm higher than the 1993 average. Over the past two decades, sea level has increased

CLIMATE CHANGE
Weddings will take a bite out of B.C. farm land predicts reader To the editor: Though saddened, I’m not surprised the Christy Clark government is further chipping away at agricultural land in B.C. First it was the weakening of the Agricultural Land Reserve in the top half of the province, and now there’s the change to allow weddings on farm land. On the surface, when you hear about it the idea seems fine. It’s very similar to allowing RV parking on a portion of the land. However what people fail to understand is that
only five per cent of land in B.C. is in the ALR. If we accept climate change to be real, and as politics around the world shift to a more national focus, can we always count on the US, China and Chile to supply us with food? If only five per cent of our land is used for agriculture, but we set aside portions of this for weddings, how much land will be left for future generations? And make no mistake, while it’s now capped at 10 weddings per
year, and no more than 150 guests, in a short while a savvy lobbyist will have the ear of the government and it’ll be amended. I pity the farmer trying to run his farm beside one with a wedding in progress. We need to look no further than the Sonoma Valley in California to see what a mess has been made out of the agricultural areas down there due to lack of foresight. Moni Schiller Kelowna

Protection of aquifer water is critical WATER CONTAMINATION FROM A10 Upper, have attempted to have the Ministry of Environment enforce the Agricultural Waste Control Regulations, with little success. So in February of this year, the Save Hullcar Aquifer Team (SHAT) through the Environmental Law Centre at the University of Victoria, filed a request with Interior Health for a Hazard Abatement and Prevention Order under the Drinking Water Protection Act. The goal of SHAT is to stop the contamination of the aquifer permanently and start the process of remediation, so the aquifer can once again be used as safe drinking water. Interior Health is working with Steele Springs to find another water source, with no luck so far. But there is no other source available to the private well owners in the Hullcar Valley. Shortly after the SHAT request for drinking water protection was filed on Feb. 1, 2016, Interior Health created a four-person team to assess the merits of the request. At about the same time, the provincial government created the Hullcar Aquifer Inter-Ministry Working Group to address the issue of the contamination of the aquifers. The Working Group is also proposing creation of an Area-Based Management Plan, and doing fall and spring soil testing on many farms to determine the source or sources of the nitrates. As a result of this effort, our request for drinking water protection is in limbo. The decision is up to Medical Health Officer Dr. Kamran Golmohammadi, who has stated several times he doesn’t have enough evidence to issue a Hazard Abatement and Protection Order, and will await the results of the testing done by the Working Group before making his decision. And therein lies the heart of the problem. Some 12 of the 53 farms on Steele Springs have water treatment. The rest have to buy their water on a daily or weekly basis, and there are a number who can’t afford treatment or bottled water, so have no choice but to drink the contaminated water from their taps, risking their health every day. The private well owners of Hullcar Valley have to live with the uncertainty of their wells becoming contaminated, and in the past year, though the numbers are still low, the nitrate levels in some of their wells have doubled. Some are attempting to sell their farms and move, but the water situation has reduced property values.
Members of the Splatsin Nation, under federal jurisdiction, were never notified by provincial authorities of the danger to their health, and came to SHAT to find out what they were facing. They do not have the option of selling their land and moving to where drinking water is safe. As Splatsin Councilor George William said at a recent meeting with IHA, “We used to be able to drink from any stream in the valley, and now we are afraid to drink what is coming out of our taps.” One of their wells tested at 21 ppm. But sadly, it is not just our problem in the Hullcar Valley and Spallumcheen. Earlier this year Dr. Upper of Steele Springs determined that the overflow from the springs, which travels down to Deep Creek, Otter Lake and into Okanagan Lake, out of Hullcar Aquifer #103 “ …presently contributes a minimum of 43.8 kilograms (96 lb.) of nitrate every day of the year, to Deep Creek, an important tributary of Okanagan Lake.” As of July 31 this year, that will have been 878 days since the Ministry of Environment issued the Compliance Order for a total of 84,288 lb., or 38.23 metric tons of nitrates going into the Okanagan Lake drainage system. The Hullcar Aquifers are the headwaters of that system. The water coming into the Hullcar Valley is pristine, but it doesn’t stay that way for long. Each month that nothing is done to stop the contamination, an additional 2,880 lb. of nitrates is added to the Okanagan watershed, from which thousands of people draw their drinking water. Each year the lake receives another 35,040 lb. of nitrates, or another 15.89 metric tons. Nitrates are a fertilizer, and in water they cause eutrophication, which is excessive plant growth that in turn removes oxygen from the water, killing fish and other aquatic life, and in sufficient quantities causing algae blooms. The question becomes: where is the tipping point? How much is too much? A couple of weeks ago the data was finally released on the orders of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Commissioner. It turns out that in addition to nitrates, there are elevated levels of phosphorus, potassium, boron and copper in that field, which are soluble in water. Comprehensive water tests have not been done as they are expensive (approx. $1,275 per test). Last week our MLA Greg Kyllo agreed to ask the government to pay for a
comprehensive testing program, which would also test for antibiotics, steroids, pesticides and herbicides such as Roundup, because the farm grows huge fields of GMO corn for sileage. As a public advocacy group lobbying for clean drinking water for the 350 people using the Hullcar aquifers, the Save Hullcar Aquifer Team, Steele Springs and the Splatsin Nation have never even suggested that the farm be shut down. We have suggested many possible solutions, from switching their flush barn to a scraper barn to a community digester that could be accessed by all farmers with an excess of manure. We are sorry that our problem has become a problem for everyone in the Okanagan and beyond. We tried our best to stop the contamination before it got out of control, but so far have been stymied at every turn. We will keep trying. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions please don’t hesitate to contact me, and thanks for taking the time to ready my letter.

Global Roadway Maintenance to host annual trade show
On July 22, the Elks Stadium baseball stands were filled with fans and families who enjoyed a hard fought game in support of the YMCA’s Strong Kids Campaign. The Kelowna Falcons organization donated more than $7,000 through gate sales, a 50/50 draw and game sponsorship opportunities to the Strong Kids Campaign. In the photo above (from left) are Emily Oxley, Big White Ski Resort; Warren Carr, Telus; and Andrew Devlin, YMCA Strong Kids cabinet chair. The YMCA in 2015 was able to provide over $479,000 in financial sponsorship because of donations to the Y’s Strong Kids Campaign.

Hair shaving experience offers deeper lesson in life There are different types of moments in life. Some are very ordinary; sitting in traffic, taking out the garbage, flossing and the like. And then there are those that shake us awake. They grab us, jar us and somehow change our entire state. In a way, they define us in that moment. They are rarely solicited, but one thing is constant in those piercing moments. Truth. My mother once said: “There are moments of truth that are inescapable. Just make sure you pay attention to them when they are calling.” For instance, the birth of a child, or the loss of a loved one. With these, there is a vulnerability that is the catalyst for acceptance of the moment we are in, a moment of truth. If I ask you what your car insurance costs, you probably won’t remember. But if I ask you what was your very first car, and the first time you drove it, you could probably describe the day, what the car smelled like and probably what you were wearing. I had one of these moments just last week. My son, Cash, who just turned eight, said to me, “Dad, we are going to Edmonton tomorrow. My hair is too long. Can you please cut it?” I, in my usual fashion was doing three different things at the time. I said “I don’t cut hair, Cash. Let’s get in the truck and we will go to a barber, ok?” He looked at me and replied, “Dad, you have your hair cutting stuff under the sink in the bathroom. Will you please cut my hair. I’ve seen
MARKUS THIEL pictures where you have cut your own hair. “It looks great and that what I want, ok?” He was referring to the days 20 years ago when I shaved my head. After much debate, I, well, lost and the haircutting process began. “Shorter,” he kept saying. I went to the number 4, then the 2 level. “Shorter,” he said again. He then stood up and grabbed the intrepid number one. He handed to me, said “Here,” and sat down. We ended up with the number 1 blade, largely a shaven brush cut and a bathtub full of hair. He stood up looked
proud of it. Those moments are around us every day. Just listen for them.

He said that was our understanding—I shave his head, he shaves mine. To say that I protested was an understatement. In my reality, I never agreed to this, in any way. No. Nope. Never.

news _____________________________________________________________________ SUMMERLAND ORNAMENTAL GARDENS
On the weekend of July 16 and 17, I participated in the enjoyable and varied celebrations marking the centennial of the Summerland Ornamental Gardens. It was also the 25th anniversary of the formation of the Friends of the Summerland Ornamental Gardens. The event was modelled on the historic farm picnics which happened annually from the 1920s to the ‘50s. Hundreds of people of all ages participated in the centennial event. It was a delight to hear the music floating through the gardens from musicians on the stage set up on the great lawn. There were tours of various parts of the gardens led by experts familiar with the gardens. I especially enjoyed the
Gardening With Nature GWEN STEELE tour of some of the 135 species of mature trees with Douglas Justice, associate director of the UBC Botanical Gardens. Many old-time Summerland residents enjoyed catching up and sharing stories of olden days at the farm. The events were punctuated by the whistle of the historic KVR steam train as it passed by across the canyon. The Canyon Walk at the edge of the property provides an excellent view of the canyon, train and old trestle bridge. In the early years, the Dominion Experimental
Farm researched all aspects of valley agriculture. Most employees lived on the Farm so it was a real community. The gardens were started in 1916 as part of an ornamental research program at the Farm (now the Summerland Research and Development Centre) which was established in 1914. It was the place in the Okanagan to find out what trees, shrubs and flowers would thrive in gardens and parks. Over time the area developed into an English style garden covering about 15 acres. When the research station closed the ornamental horticulture program in the 1980s, the
gardens languished under minimal maintenance. The Friends of the Gardens was formed to save these beautiful, historic gardens. Over the years, the members have worked hard to restore the gardens. In 1991, then garden manager Brian Stretch introduced the first public xeriscape demonstration/ test garden to the Okanagan. It was the first in Canada and is still the largest today. Now the focus is to bring the gardens into the 21st century so they can be the place to go to find out what plants and techniques are appropriate for our dry climate. Program manager Eva Antonijevic has done a remarkable job of organizing new garden

Kelowna sesquicentennial grant recipients ready to launch projects From 150 years of local Canadian art, to 150 stories celebrating local diversity, to a sesquicentennial paddle trail, the recipients of the Kelowna’s sesquicentennial grants have hit the ground running with plans to celebrate Canada’s 150th anniversary. Earlier this year, the city launched its Canada 150 sesquicentennial grant program. The grant, available
to eligible non-profit organizations, provides matching funds of up to $15,000 to support community driven projects. “The Kelowna Art Gallery, Kelowna Museums and the Kelowna Dragon Boat Club Paddling Society all came forward with unique and exciting projects that illustrate the Canada 150 program themes,” said Mariko Siggers, event
development supervisor. “These projects reflect the richness and diversity of our community’s history and unique attributes and are poised to leave a remarkable legacy.” The Kelowna Art Gallery will showcase a unique exhibition of Canadian created art, drawn from private collections and public institutions in Kelowna and the Okanagan Valley. This will provide the opportunity to see works of art that would not otherwise be accessible to the public. Through these significant pieces of Canadian works of art, visitors will discover some of the stories, milestones, places, events and people that have shaped our history. Kelowna Museums will take storytelling to heart with its project, “Stories from 150 years,” filling the gallery of the Okanagan Heritage Museum with diverse, relevant and surprising stories, presented in innovative and creative ways. By engaging community partners such as the Chinese Canadian Association, French Cultural Centre, Metro Community and Westbank First Nation, the museum will highlight

BCAA offers advice on how vehicles can beat the heat Driving around town on hot Okanagan days or heading out on family summer vacation road adventures, the last thing you want is your vehicle to come up lame. The chance of hotweathered mechanical breakdowns can be reduced by following some basic preventative measures, says BCAA. BCAA says many of their summer roadside emergency service calls in Kelowna are due to vehicle overheating, flat tires and dead batteries. Water and fuel pump failures and air conditioning not performing up to standard are also common culprits. So consider some of these tips from BCAA to reduce the stress on your vehicle of summer driving: • Inspect your tires— summer means dry roads but that doesn’t mean
you can get away with driving on worn-out tires. Check the tread depth and condition to accommodate heavier loads. Refer to your owner’s manual for the correct tire pressures, especially for towing boats and trailers. •Top-up fluids—check oil, brake, power steering, automatic transmission, coolant and windshield washer fluid and top up if necessary. And, keep an eye on your antifreeze levels—it helps avoid engine corrosion. •Check the vehicle battery—summer heat can be harmful if your battery is over fiveyears old or connected to poorly-maintained terminals. Batteries should be tested and serviced to ensure clean connections. If battery caps are removable, check fluid levels. •Don’t overload—use common sense when

The society will create a paddle trail using GPS registered information buoys that paddlers along the lakeshore can use to navigate the waters along the paddle trail.

By Mike Straus Sandra Kochan says that arts and culture is a fundamental expression of community identity, and it’s that guiding belief that has led her to her position as cultural services manager for the City of Kelowna. “I don’t really work in arts and culture – I’m a public servant.

last seven years, Kochan’s largest project has involved significant contributions to the city’s official strategic plan for arts and culture, which city council adopted in 2011. Kochan says that working on municipal projects for the arts industry presents a variety of opportunities, the biggest challenge being the city’s cultural services division faces is in pursuing multiple opportunities at the same time. “All of us at the City of Kelowna are very aware of community needs, and we’re always juggling competing demands for time, attention, and resources. It’s partly a pacing issue – you can’t get to everything right away, and some projects will take longer than others. Some projects have resource challenges – assembling resources for a large project (like the Rotary Centre
for the Arts) will take years, maybe even decades. So it’s important to be patient and plan carefully,” Kochan said. Part of that careful planning involved the creative spaces consultation process, which took place earlier this year. While the city is still compiling the results for an official report, Kochan says the eight focus groups presented a series of unique insights as to what an ideal creative space would look like. “Every single focus group gave us at least one ‘aha’ moment,” Kochan noted. “The next step will be a gathering next year to bring everyone back together to share information. We’ll also be looking at examples of shared facilities to learn more about co-located models, and then we’ll talk about what a made-in-Kelowna solu-

tion would look like.” The focus group results will also be used to provide insights for an update to the cultural plan that is slated for 2018. Not content to simply manage the public policy side of art, Kochan is also an avid creator herself. When she’s not managing the city’s arts agenda, she can be found busking on the streets of Kelowna as part of the local ukulele ensemble Ukenagan. “I also have lots of projects on the go around the house – I like to cook and preserve a lot. Plus, this time of year I’m an enthusiastic gardener. We’re harvesting tomatoes and beans right now.” Lately, Kochan has been contemplating the value of mentors and role models. “This has been on my mind, partly because this is the Women to Watch series and partly because I was involved in a presentation through the Chamber of Commerce’s Inspire series. As a public servant, there are sever-
al women who stand out to me. They speak truth to power, and they’re admirable because of their determination. One of them is Cindy Blackstock, a First Nations advocate for childcare. She’s had to face a lot of backlash speaking out on government policies,” Kochan said. “I also admire Sheila Fraser for her ability to be impactful, to speak uncomfortable truths, but to do it in a fair manner.” Kochan says that her three careers have taught her a variety of lessons that are now helping her to promote arts and culture in Kelowna. As a lawyer, she quickly learned the importance of having accurate information. Her career in sales and marketing for wineries impressed upon her the importance of storytelling, as it’s through stories that work takes on meaning. And as a public servant, Kochan discovered that providing the best possible advice to civic leaders involves cre-

ating innovative solutions based on the facts at hand. Kochan is now putting those skills to use to encourage Kelowna’s residents to explore the city’s arts amenities. “Don’t take it for granted,” she said. “Our citizen surveys tell us that people are very satisfied with what’s available, but we also know that event organizers don’t always get the levels of participation they hope for. That’s why community support and involvement is important – artists need to have audiences for what they do.” Kochan says that much of the struggle arises from Kelowna’s great variety of arts events— often, there are so many options available that would-be arts supporters don’t know which events to attend. “Get out there and support what’s happening. If artists can’t make a living here, they’re not going to stay – and without artists, we don’t have a cultural scene,” she said.

OKANAGAN FOOTBALL
Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
With one of the country’s top running backs at their disposal and a supporting cast of ex-CIS players, the Westshore Rebels have suddenly become a power in the B.C. Football Conference. On Saturday, the defending champion Okanagan Sun (2-0) will look to defuse Jamel Lyles and the Rebels (2-0) as the BCFC’s two remaining unbeaten teams square off at the Apple Bowl. Kick off is 7 p.m. Lyles, a B.C. native who played last season with the University of Manitoba Bisons, has 338 yards rushing, a 7.9 yard average and three major scores in Westshore’s first two games. While shutting Lyles down entirely is probably unrealistic, Sun head coach Ben Macauley said his club can limit the damage with some solid, straightforward football. “The onus is going to be on us to be

fundamentally sound,” said Macauley. “They’re more experienced and physical than they’ve been, but there’s not much to their scheme, so we really just need to be good at blocking and tackling. “(Lyles) is a very smooth and dynamic runner and he can beat guys one on one,” Macauley said of the 5-foot-11, 215-pound running back from Surrey. “As long as we limit the big plays, and keep our offence on the field for some good long stretches, then we’ll be going in the right direction.” In addition to the highstakes battle for top spot, Saturday’s game should feature some added flair
with the return of Shane Beatty. Now an assistant coach with the Rebels, Beatty parted ways with the Sun at the end of last season after three years as the team’s head coach in Kelowna. Whatever emotions ensue from the return of the impassioned, sometimes irascible Beatty, Macauley said it will be important for his players to stay on the task at hand. “The main thing for the kids is that they focus on playing the game,” said Macauley. “As soon as coaches start thinking they’re part of the game, then that’s a problem. “There will likely be some mixed emotions about Shane coming back to town. I’m not sure what to expect, but I don’t see our guys being focused on that. Players win games, not coaches, so it’s our job to convince the players that all that’s going to matter is what happens on the field.” More than half the Sun’s current roster
played for Beatty last season, including veteran defensive back Beck Fullerton. The fourth-year product from Winnipeg plans to welcome the former coach back to Kelowna, then concentrate on the business at hand. “I respect him as a coach, whatever happened before with Shane and the organization is in the past,” said Fullerton. “I’ll shake his hand, wish him luck and go out and play the game.” After a pair of wins over weaker opponents to start the season— Chilliwack and Kamloops—Macauley knows the Rebels—with first place on the line— will present the Sun with their stiffest challenge yet. Still, with the season just three weeks old, Macauley said the Sun will focus more on improving than the consequences of winning or losing. “This isn’t the national championship,” Macauley

more times this year, so this is only one battle. We just need to look at getting better every week.” Elsewhere in the BCFC
this weekend, the Langley Rams (1-1) will host to the Kamloops Broncos (0-2), while the Valley Huskers visit the Vancouver Island Raiders (1-1).
OKANAGAN BASEBALL
Athletics program being guided by a steady hand Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
When Evan Bailey took over the Okanagan Athletics in 2010, Kelowna’s top midget baseball program was coming off six seasons filled mostly with futility and frustration. Formerly the Kelowna Cubs, the B.C. Premier Baseball League club won only 16 per cent of its games and never made the playoffs, while graduating only a handful of players to college
programs in the U.S. or Canada. In Bailey’s seven years as head coach of the team—and more recently the program director— the A’s turnaround has been nothing short of dramatic. Okanagan’s team has compiled a regular season winning percentage of .618, while making the playoffs in five of the seven years. The Athletics won the PBL championship in 2012 and have been to the final four in each of
last two the seasons. In 2016, after a program-best 30-14 regular season record, Bailey’s A’s finished third at provincials. But perhaps the most telling statistic of Bailey’s tenure is the number of players who have gone on to play college and/or university ball either south of the border or here at home. Bailey has helped 48 former Athletics make the baseball and academic jump, including five this year—Sam Avila, Matt Brodt, David
Tongue, Brendan Coulter and McCoy Pearce. Gary Yates, who was Athletics’ GM for three seasons and still serves on the board, said once the program established a stable and consistent presence at the top, the pieces began to fall into place. “The biggest thing with Evan is that he was able to develop a baseball culture, he gave us strong leadership at the top, providing a platform for kids to have success… to have the same systems
in place, year after year is important,” said Yates. “We had so much change in the past that there was just no continuity, we were losing kids to the coast, we didn’t have the program for them. “Evan provides stability, he has his way of running the program and it’s been very effective.” As much as wins and losses are important, Yates and Bailey agree that the purpose of the program is about much more than getting results on the field.
In addition to helping his players land scholarships and prepare them for the college game, Bailey said baseball can help teach some basic life lessons. “I think really what you’re trying to do is develop young men that are going to be successful in life,” said Bailey, a Kamloops native who was a pitcher at the University of Utah. “We’re not all going to be baseball players, people can find success in life through those things they learn
through baseball…good work habits and working amongst a team to achieve a common goal. It’s that sweat in a bucket that sets you up for life.” And if players do happen to get an opportunity to play at the next level, Yates said Bailey will have them well prepared. “The primary function of the program is to obviously make sure kids play baseball, but also to help promote them

‘Demanding’ coach gets results to the college level and move them on,” said Yates. “The next level is exponentially harder and Evan teaches them how to play the game the right way. It’s also about how you present yourself, how you’re handling winning and losing, all the things are crucial when you head to the next level.” Known for his nononsense coaching style, Bailey admits to being demanding of his players—but not at the cost of compromising a player’s character or personality. “I’m very demanding, but in the same sense I’ve also learned it’s important to develop a culture where you let individuals be who they are,” Bailey said. “There are core values and beliefs you instill, hard work and accountability so that guys are mentally ready to play. I’m demanding, yes, but that’s because I want them to be the best players they can possibly
be.” Jared Young counts himself among the many former A’s who consider themselves in a better place thanks to Bailey’s tutelage and guidance. A second baseman, Young is headed to Virginia this fall for his first year of NCAA Div. 1 baseball at Old Dominion University. In addition to being a strong technical and fundamental coach, Young said Bailey’s firm but fair approach made him the player he is today. “I can’t say how much he helped me and changed me as a player,” said Young, who played for the A’s in 2013 and 2014. “When you’re on the field, it’s strictly business. Off the field, he’s a player’s coach. Ask him for anything and he’ll help you out, anything to help you be a better player. “You listen to what he says, if you don’t there’s a consequence,” Young continued. “That’s the way it should be, I love it.
He teaches you how to play the game the right way.” In the early years of his tenure, there were the predictable growing pains for Bailey who came to the A’s some coaching experience, but none as a head man. Bailey credits both A’s founder and former GM Greg Stearns and Gary Yates for setting the course and keeping the program on the right track . “There have been some really good people involved and Greg and Gary have both instrumental in the reason we’ve had success,” said Bailey. “They’ve made this a really easy ride for me.” And much like the program itself, Yates said Bailey, the coach and mentor, has also continued to evolve. “He’s matured a lot over the years, he’s a different coach than he was eight years ago,” Yates said. “He didn’t have experience and,

like any new, young coach there were some adjustments. But he’s grown and become, I think the best coach in the PBL.” As for both his immediate and distant future with the Athletics, Bailey said as long as he has a passion for the work, there are no plans to go anywhere. “It’s season by season
right now, but I’m still enjoying what I do,” Bailey said. “It takes a lot of time and energy, and as soon as it’s too much time and energy, that will be the time to stop. The worst thing you can do is stay in it when you’re not 100 per cent there. “I still like what I do and being around the players.”

Karate now an Olympic event Warren Henderson On Wednesday afternoon, about 20 members the Rodney Hobson Karate Academy gathered in front of a projection screen TV hoping to witness history in the making. Those who congregated at the Kelowna-based club weren’t disappointed as the International Olympic Committee officially announced, via live stream broadcast, that karate will be one of five new sports to be added to the Olympic Games roster in 2020 in Tokyo. “For the sport of karate, this is huge,” said Rodney Hobson, the chief instructor at RHKA. “There are over 100 million people who train in karate around the world, so to finally be accepted means a lot. “It’s the 50th anniversary of the first world championships in Tokyo, and it’s going back to Tokyo in 2020,” Hobson added. “It’s a significant, landmark

Members of Rodney Hobson Karate Academy cheered the IOC’s announcement Wednesday that karate would be added to the 2020 Olympic Games lineup. moment for karate practitioners around the world.” Karate had been shortlisted into the Olympic program three times before, only to be denied each time. In gaining approval for 2020, karate is one of only 13 new sports to be accepted since World War II. As for the significance of the announcement on a local level, Hobson said dojos throughout
Kelowna should feel the impact. “Our members were ecstatic, it’s huge for ours and other clubs, and motivating for our youth to be able to aspire to something like the Olympic Games,” said Hobson, who runs one of six dojos in Kelowna. “Once you start telling kids they have a chance to be an Olympian, that’s motivating and opens their eyes to more opportunities. It’s another
world-recognized event they can aspire to.” The Rodney Hobson Karate Academy, located on Rutland Road, has close to 450 members. Joining karate in 2020 as new additions will be baseball and softball, skateboarding, rock climbing and surfing.

Bump and run driver leaves trail of damage I’m going to chalk it all up to heat inspired stupidity. I shudder to think such incidents could happen without a justification or reason. Certainly if I was a police officer or tow truck driver I would be shaking my head in disbelief. I make reference to a couple of collisions in the Kelowna area of recent —the most amusing (or at least mind-boggling) being a demolition run by a local driver earlier this week.

Said driver, operating a Ford F150, began with a rear-end collision on Dilworth Drive nailing another vehicle from behind which had stopped in a traffic lineup in a construction area. Apparently after exchanging contact information with the owner of the vehicle he struck, the Ford driver then rear-ended the same vehicle a second time
before leaving the scene. While fleeing at high speed the driver allegedly crashed into three other parked cars and then continued his chaotic course through a residential yard before reaching Bernard Avenue. Sadly, not even a threelane paved highway was room enough for this road barbarian. RCMP report the offender then collided with several poles, a sign post, and a gate.

cemetery. It is unclear what, if any, damage occurred there. Mixed reports have been filed on the incident with a total of at least nine cars damaged before the chaos ended. The scenario finally concluded when police arrested the driver but not before he rear-ended yet another vehicle. Surprise, surprise, police say they “detected signs and symptoms of alcohol intoxication” from the driver and he was apprehended. He will have a chat with a judge on Nov. 7. RCMP are encouraging witnesses to contact the Kelowna RCMP Municipal Traffic Section at 250980-5353. *** Speaking of an out-ofcontrol collision course, is it just me or is anyone else beginning to be a little concerned about the presidential race going on south of the border? While I admit to a lifetime lack of caring regarding U.S. politics, the absurdity and trepidation of a man like Donald Trump actually seeking the office of president has caught my attention. All joking aside there is much more at stake in this political race than the economic stability of America. There is no question our world already sits in a precarious position regarding world peace. Not only do we continue to have an unsettled Middle East, likewise there is great
cause for concern by the actions of such countries as North Korea. Redneck, aggressive, and threatening comments and actions as predicated by the likes of ‘The Donald’ place our world in a dangerous times. Those contentious issues are already disconcerting enough without inflaming them through bullish and childish comments and actions. Clearly, it is those concerns among others that inspired or motivated current President Barack Obama to speak out disapprovingly regarding Trump’s recent diatribes. It is rare for a sitting president to critique one running for office, but there is no question such admonishment was deserved and needed. Unfortunately, Trump is such a moron that he will simply step up his stupidity in reaction to Obama, instead of recognizing it is time to grow up and shut up. Trump is yet to comprehend the reality that for every action there is a reaction, that when you represent the voice of a nation, that nation will pay the price of your comments. Immature bully that he is, Trump seems incapable of recognizing that the world is a bigger place than he. The big question now is will American voters comprehend that enough is enough and Trump needs to be trumped?
*** Last but not least, I gather that Trump is not the only one having a hard time getting his act together as it seems Rio de Janeiro is having a rough time getting ready for the Summer Olympics. I struggle to comprehend how the organizing body of such an event could pick a host city and country not financially or politically able to handle the needs, security and finances to run such a gigantic event. It is clear from recent reports that Brazil residents are already paying a tremendous price for the whole scheme of this giant sports event. While I am the first to admire and acknowledge the goodwill, fellowship, and understanding that Olympic Games can foster, that should never supersede the infrastructure health of a city and country to host an event of this magnitude. In addition, there are some serious concerns in Rio with security issues regarding combating terrorism. Allegedly the lack of funds and preparedness from a safety perspective are further cause for caution. It is a sad state of affairs when supposed peaceful sporting events are placed in significant jeopardy by those with evil intent. It is difficult to foster trust and friendship beneath the watchful eye of machine gun nests.
KELOWNA GOLF COURSE
City reaches lease agreement to operate Shadow Ridge Golf Club The City of Kelowna has entered into a five-year lease agreement with Monaghan Golf Group for the lease and operation of Shadow Ridge Golf Course. Course operations will be passed on to the new operator on Nov.1 at the end of the golf season. The city acquired the golf course property, located at 3770 Bulman Rd., in January 2016 with the long-term idea to one day accommodate further expansion of Kelowna International Airport (YLW). “Members can continue to expect the same great experience at Shadow Ridge,” said Tom Monaghan, president of the Monaghan Golf Group. “We’re completing on-site training with the current team to ensure the transition is as smooth as possible.” In May, city staff undertook a thorough process to attract as many highly qualified bidders as possible.
All bids were required to be submitted by June 17. Of five complete bids, Monaghan Golf Group was chosen as the successful proponent as a highly experienced and qualified golf course management company that manages several premiere courses in the Lower Mainland. “Our intention is to see the golf course operate as long as it’s feasible,” said Sam Samaddar, Kelowna airport director. “Shadow Ridge is a great recreational opportunity for our citizens and we want to ensure its success continues.” Membership, rates and amenities will remain unchanged as operations transition to Monaghan Golf Group for the 2017 season.

Bentley’s Bentayga Fly Fishing by Mulliner.
CONTRIBUTED
Ultimate angling accessory
Kelowna Toyota’s Full Detail Centre is NOW OPEN!
By Keith Morgan Luxury car manufacturer Bentley hopes to bait wealthy fishers with a new angle in car accessories. Hand-crafted by Bentley’s bespoke coachbuilding division, the Bentayga Fly Fishing by Mulliner feature houses all the equipment required for a successful day on the river. Four rods are stored in special tubes trimmed in Saddle leather with Linen cross-stitching and located on the underside of the parcel shelf. A pair of landing nets in matching leather bags are stored in a carpet-trimmed hard pocket built into the side of the boot. At the heart of the accessory are three individual, Saddle-leather-trimmed units: A master tackle station; a refreshment case; and a waterproof wader-stowage trunk. The master tackle station and refreshment case sit on a sliding tray that allows for easy access. Inside the master tackle unit is a special Burr Walnut veneered drawer containing a fly-tying vice and tools, as well as a selection of cotton, hooks and feathers. Beneath this are four machined-from-sol-

With a quilted leather finish on top, it can also be removed entirely and used as additional seating. Waders and boots are stowed in a hand-crafted and Saddle-leather-wrapped wood trunk,

Of course, all three units can be removed from the Bentayga’s boot whenever maximum luggage space is required. Waterproof trunk-floor and rear-sill-protection covers are discreetly integrated, as is an electronic dehumidifier unit to ensure the area remains fresh and dry. ‘Welcome Lights’ are built into the underside of the doors and project the Bentley and Mulliner logos on to the ground when the doors are opened. In addition as an
option, any personal logo or graphic can be individually specified on a customer’s Bentayga order. Geoff Dowding, director of Mulliner, said: “The Bentayga Fly Fishing car showcases the breadth and level of detail a customer can expect from Mulliner. This is an individual bespoke solution and our skilled craftspeople can design elegant and exquisitely executed bespoke solutions to complement any customer lifestyle or hobby.” Price?

Peace with a paddle in Les Cheneaux Ellen Creager HESSEL, Mich.—Jessie Hadley knows the Les Cheneaux inside out— its islands, its secrets, its secret marshes. “The Les Cheneaux is an opaque place,” says Hadley, owner of Woods and Water Ecotours. “It is word of mouth or a connection. You have to have the veil lifted, the secret passed.” So let’s just say that I’m about to rip off the veil. Many in Michigan have never heard of the Les Cheneaux, much less visited it. Pronounced LayShen-O, it is a group of 36 small islands plus two small towns, Hessel and Cedarville, that hug the Lake Huron shore in the eastern Upper Peninsula. Drive across the Mackinac Bridge, turn right at M-134, and about 20 minutes later, you’re there.

The view from a bridge linking Hill Island and Island No. 8 in the Les Cheneaux Islands in the eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan. In French, Les Cheneaux means “the channels.” Says Hadley, “it’s not a cookie cutter place.” But what’s here? It is an incredible paddling and classic boat destination along 12 miles of Lake Huron shoreline. Visitors also will see some glamorous, rustic family homes passed down through the generations.

courses, a small native casino, some tiny grocery stores and shops, extremely decent ice cream, and lodging that is mostly old-fashioned, pine-paneled Upper Peninsula-style motels and cottages. Other than that, much of the Les Cheneaux is greenery—protected land owned by state, national forest service or nature conservancies devoted to keeping the “wild” in the wilderness. A new North Huron Birding Trail also was just established in the eastern U.P. Since you can’t invite
two hours to a week. Some trips include overnight camping on nearby Government Island or sunset paddles. Kayaking entered the Great Lakes about 30 years ago, and the Les Cheneaux is perfect for the sport, Hadley says, because the islands protect small craft from the open waters of Lake Huron. Many marshes are tucked into small spots where kayaks can silently slide, unlike other boats. “It’s a sheltered channel, and the bays and islands are protected. If you feel like you want to go around an island, you can,” she says. Hadley does kayak training for groups, but she also is getting more families with children about age 10-16 who want a day paddle, plus more groups of women, who want a weekend of paddling plus good food and pampering while they’re at it. One afternoon I go out with her for three hours. The party includes her two assistants and another customer. After giving a safety and paddling technique briefing and making sure we have the right life jackets and gear, we set off at Hessel Beach and paddle eastward, passing cottages and turning into a quiet marsh, where blue herons perch in the reeds. Then it begins to rain lightly. I suck in fresh air. I listen to the hypnotic sound of our paddles slicing through the water. I feel the rain pattering on my head. And you know, I feel good.
