Starting Friday morning, a group of 28 police and emergency service personnel set off on the annual Cops For Kids marathon cycling fundraiser across southern B.C. The ride begins and ends in Kelowna and will take 10 days to complete. See story on A4.
Kelowna may soon have a public market in the city’s north end where local foodies can shop and farmers will sell their wares. “We formed the Okanagan Food Hub Co-Operative in March,” said Wolf Wesle, of Green Croft Gardens and a regular contributer to the Kelowna Farmers and Crafters Market. “Geographically the co-op covers the area from Salmon Arm to the border in the South Okanagan, and the centre is in Kelowna. “And now we have been approached by a developer that has a building and location and they think a co-op would go well

there.” Wesle is currently staying mum on the address, but says it will be revealed next Thursday when a meeting aimed at sussing out support for the co-op both among farmers and consumers alike will be held. Another cause for the cautious approach is that the last time Kelowna seemed poised to have a food co-op, chaos ensued. Nearly three years ago, a plan for a Granville Island type structure at the old BC Tree Fruit packinghouse was proposed. As some made a push for the Kelowna Farmers and Crafters market to relocate to the north end, relationships fractured and volunteer boards rose and fell. In the end, the developer behind the market plan never
followed through and the status quo persevered. It was a chaotic stretch of time that Wesle was right in the middle of. “The current co-op has grown out of that disastrous ending,” said Wesle. “The mistake we made was we assumed that everybody wants to grow their business and that just isn’t so…but there are a lot of farmers who find that two markets at the market isn’t enough anymore.” While many of those farmers have already joined the co-op, Wesle stressed that they still will be able to sell their wares at the local market and there’s more than enough opportunities for both ventures to exist. Studies suggest that farmers
markets only account for oneand-a-half per cent of all grocery dollars spent in a community. And on the developer side of the equation, Wesle said the proposal is more realistic. “It’s smaller. The building at this point is a large building with a large outdoor portion that goes with it,” he said. “We will not be using all of the building and we will be looking for other interested parties to move in.” Some examples that have been discussed are a fish store, or coffee roasters and bakery. To get to that point, though, the co op needs to raise enough support and money to gain access to federal government grant funds.

News BC THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE
Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
An “army” of volunteers will spread out across the Central Okanagan next week. Their mission will be to first deliver shopping bags to thousands of homes in the area, and then go back, door-to-door, to collect those bags they hope will be filled with food donations for local food banks. The sixth annual B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive goes Sept. 17 in the Central Okanagan, but prior to that—between Sept.12 and 16—the shopping bags will be delivered throughout the community. “I know there are lots of events happening that weekend (Sept. 17 ad18) but it will only take a few minutes to fill up a bag with food items,” said Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran, who helped kick off the food drive with a special proclamation he read out Wednesday. Basran added he hopes the proclamation will spur as many people as possible to give food
during the drive this year. The B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive is a provincewide campaign that collects food for local food banks and keeps it in the community where it was donated. In the case of the Central Okanagan, food collected in Kelowna, West Kelowna, Lake Country and Peachland will all go to help people in need in those communities. Central Okanagan Food Bank executive director Lenetta Parry said the food drive is an important one for her organization as it comes at a time when there are many empty shelves at the Kelowna food bank. She said 70 per cent of the donations the local food bank receives are made in the last quarter of the year. Despite the popularity of the on-going One-Bag Challenge, which was started by Basran in July, supplies are still critically low at the food bank. The One-Bag Challenge, where Basran challenged five people to donate one bag of food

Volunteers ready to fill food bank shelves
Andrew Draper, leader of the B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive, Lenetta Parry, executive director of the Central Okanagan Food Bank, Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran and Gordon Oliver public affairs director for the food drive kicked off the event which goes Sept. 17 with Basran reading a proclamation Wednesday at the Kelowna food bank location on Ellis Street. each and asked them to, in turn, challenge five others each and have each of them do the same, has now resulted in more than 40,000 pounds of food collected. But Parry said the local
food bank, which helps about 4,000 people a month, 35 per cent of whom are children, gives out about 7,000 pounds of food a day. That means despite the success of the One-
Bag Challenge, it has only raised about six-days worth of food. The B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive collected about 46,000 pounds of food in one day last year in Kelowna alone and
is the biggest one-day collection the local food banks participate in. Gordon Oliver, public affairs director with the food drive, said while access is limited to condominium
buildings and gated communities when it comes to dropping off food collection bags, residents of those types of residential buildings and complexes are encouraged to participate as well by simply dropping of a bag of food to their local food bank. In Kelowna, the food bank is located at 1265 Ellis St. The West Kelowna Food Bank is located at 2545 Churchill St. in downtown Westbank. For more information, call 250-763-7161. Parry said the food bank is currently most in need of items such as Chunky soup, canned meat and fish, canned fruit and vegetables, peanut butter, baby formula/baby food, white rice, whole wheat pasta and sauce. The B.C. Thanksgiving Food Drive collection, by about 800 volunteers, will start around 9:30 a.m. Sept. 17 and should be complete by the early afternoon. kelownacapnews.com
Premier set for local Liberal MLA nomination by acclamation Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com
Premier Christy Clark will be acclaimed Saturday night as the Liberal Party of B.C.’s candidate in Westside-Kelowna for next year’s provincial election. With the election still eight months away, Clark, the riding’s incumbent MLA, will combine her nomination meeting with her annual Beans and
Jeans community engagement event, to be held at Byland’s Nursery in West Kelowna. Organizers say they are expecting about 400 people to attend the event, at which Clark will be acclaimed as the candidate because no one has stepped forward to challenge her for the nomination. Clark easily won the riding in a byelection in 2013, a few months after losing her previous seat in
Vancouver. On election night in 2013, veteran Liberal MLA Ben Stewart, whose family owns Quails’ Gate Estate Winery in West Kelowna, easily held the Westside-Kelowna riding for the Liberals. In that election, Clark led a surprise come-from-behind victory for the Liberals, but she lost her own Vancouver-area riding to an NDP challenger.
Stewart surprised many shortly after the election when he announced he was stepping down to allow Clark, then premier without a seat in the B.C. Legislature, an opportunity to run in a byelection here. When she won the byelection a few months later, some were openly skeptical about her promise to run there again in 2017 given her Lower Mainland roots.
But since becoming the WestsideKelowna MLA, Clark has bought a home in West Kelowna and regularly spends time in her riding dealing with local issues and spending personal time with her son. The riding, which covers West Kelowna, also includes part of downtown Kelowna. The next provincial election is scheduled for May 9, 2017.

physical or traumatic crisis. During the 10-day fundraising cycle, riders will pass through 18 different communities while facing challenging terrain and possible inclement weather conditions along the way. It starts and ends in Kelowna. The route includes the ascent and decent of two mountains passes — Anarchist Mountain near Osoyoos and the Paulson summit on the way to Castlegar. Lucash feels his training and experience with group cycle rides, where riders support and cycle as a team, will help. “We’ll see how it goes,” he said with a grin. “I am a little worried
about starting and stopping. But I’m used to pack-riding where you can draft. The biggest thing is the weather.” Organizers say the challenges of the ride remind each rider of the challenges that some children — the group’s Little Ambassadors — face on a daily basis. Along their route, the riders will be greeted by local notables and the Little Ambassadors who receive funding from the annual ride. For Cops For Kids president Gail Harrison, it’s those little faces that serve as a reminder of why we must all work together to fill the gap for funding needs. “We’re seeing families in tough situations when tragedy strikes their family,” said Harrison. “A family can’t plan for a crisis, so it’s important that Cops for Kids can be there financially when they need us most.” The Cops for Kids Charitable Foundation provides limited, shortterm financial assistance for children in need and their families. All applications are reviewed for eligibility by the Cops for Kids Grants Committee which meets once a month to review all applications that have been received. Donations can be made online at copsforkids.org.

and used as an outdoor ice rink were presented to residents in Scotty Creek by the RDCO parks department, looking for feedback on the concept. “The idea is that this would be a bit more than a winter facility,” said RDCO communications officer Bruce Smith. “It would be something they could use in the summer for tennis and pickleball and then in the winter they could flood it for hockey and skating.” Conceptual plans have
been moving forward on the idea and if the residents show enough support, construction on the new surface could take place this fall using money the RDCO has acquired in a $110,000 grant from the CanadaBC gas tax fund. The new tennis court/ ice rink would be located in the existing Scotty Creek community park, which already features a small soccer and baseball
field and is adjacent to Ellison Elementary School. Preliminary plans point to the northwest corner of the park as the location, a part of the park closest to the entrance to the school but that is not regularly used by students. “The location provides the best access to power and water as well as the use of the school parking lot for after hours activity and would
minimize disturbance to the remaining sport/turf areas,” according to a RDCO flyer advertising the meeting. It’s expected the court would be fenced for safety and liability reasons. For the past several years, residents in Scotty Creek had been flooding a vacant lot owned by the Black Mountain Irrigation District. But that ended last fall
when BMID decided to restrict the use of the lot due to liability issues on the old well site, which is no longer used to provide water services. “If everything goes well and everyone is happy with what they are seeing proposed in the concept, then we hope to start work on construction this fall and do as much as we can, depending on the weather,” said Smith. @kelownacapnews

When one of the aims of your TV series is sussing out the best First Nations food, there’s one Okanagan stop that can’t be missed. That is the Kekuli Cafe on Louie Drive, in Westbank, which is owned by Sharon Bond. “It’s the best bannock in Canada, perhaps, so that was great,” said
Dan Hayes who along with Cree bush cook Art Napoleon, host the TV program Moose Meat and Marmalade, an APTN culinary series that’s headed into its third season. “Wherever we go, we love to find interesting things that are going on in communities, particularly First Nation communities. And we love big success stories. “Here is a restaurant
that’s a big success story and it’s a lot of fun, with great people and its a great part of the community.” While the cafe and its devoted following are reason enough to stop in the city for an episode to be aired soon, its not the duos usual fare. In Season 2, which started airing this week, audiences see Napoleon and Hayes travel from B.C. to Ontario and over

to England and Scotland in Europe, where they explore a host of classic and not-so-classic cuisines while cooking with guests including the famous UK game hunter Mike Robinson and the eccentric wild rice farmer James Whetung from Northern Ontario. They venture into some extreme food tastings like singed porcupine, investigate seaweed farming, and dive for the world’s best scallops off the Isle of Mull, Scotland. “We find some amazing things, and it’s wonderful,” said Hayes. “We all know the sadder stories, where fast food is taking over, so it’s great to find people hunting, fishing and trapping and using those resources.” Hayes is a chef, but
he considers himself first and foremost a hunter and fisherman, so he’s fascinated to learn from Indigenous people who “really live as part of nature.” “They didn’t manage or regulate nature as we are today,” he said. “That’s fabulous for me to see.” That focus, he said, is what differentiates Moose Meat and Marmalade from other cooking shows. “What we ‘re doing is so different and it’s so raw and real,” he said. “We don’t sugar coat it.” And there’s a goodnatured tension between himself, a tweedwearing English chef, and Napoleon, a huntergatherer TV producer, that lends itself to a different kind of
exploration of cuisine. “Sitting around a campfire cooking meat that you just shot…I can’t think of a better way for two people to connect,” he said. Kekuli cafe will be
featured at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 2 on APTN West. Those who have APTN HD then will get the program at 4:30 p.m. Check local APTN listings to be sure of broadcast times.

Ceremony for 9/11 casualties
As it does each year, the Kelowna fire department will mark Sept. 11 with a ceremony in the city remembering the fallen —many of
whom were firefighters— who died in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York City 15 years ago. The brief ceremony will
take place outside the Kelowna’s main fire hall on Enterprise Way Sunday starting at 9:30 a.m. The event will feature a uniformed march
beginning at 9:40 a.m., followed by speeches and the laying of wreaths. A small portion of Enterprise Way, between Dilworth Drive and Leckie
Road, in front of Kelowna Fire Station No.1, will be closed to traffic from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. to facilitate the event. On Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks in the U.S. by Al Qaeda terrorists killed a total of 2,996 people and injured 6,000, including those on the planes.

Peachland’s petty response to grieving mom “Cemetery Way” is a very Kathartic macabre idea. Imagine the benches lining KATHY the sunny MICHAELS waterfront pathway in Peachland, overflowing with flowers in remembrance of the dead and departed. Maybe mourners dressed head-to-toe in black would be prompted to wander about, sobbing loudly for their loves lost and leaving a pile of hankies in their wake, which beleaguered municipal workers would have to clean up. Far too morose an idea to dwell on, but such is my current plight due to comments that came out of Peachland council this week. While rejecting a proposal that would allow residents to buy self-watering planters or sconces for the benches that line the promenade, the stink factor of public grieving was addressed in a somewhat comical, but mostly callous way. “If I wanted a flower sconce, I would attach it to [my mother’s] gravestone,” Coun. Keith Thom was quoted saying in the Peachland View, around the time he dropped the joke that Centennial Way may

have to be renamed Cemetery Way. I enjoy a politician with a flare for the dramatic, but the trouble with Thom’s statement is that it rings false. My son and I walk the aforementioned path regularly, and he asks to be read what’s on the plaques that the municipality installs for area residents. There are a number of “in loving memories” among the 80 or so benches. In fact, costly homages to those who have died is clearly the norm. So the proliferation of public memorials isn’t a legitimate concern. Nor should there be any concerns that there will be a run on town flowers with mourners affixing bouquets to area benches if allowances for those who wanted to leave blooms were implemented. For five years there’s been one bench with flowers and no others. Why? My guess is that it’s just not what everyone wants to do. But it is just what one grieving mother needs. All of this hyperbolic rhetoric about creating an unsightly stretch for public grieving is because Charrie Fichter, mother of slain teen Ashlee Hyatt, has been putting flowers on the bench that bears her daughter’s name ever since she was killed on a Peachland street.

friends have been sitting at the bench, affixing flowers to its corners and remembering the best about a girl whose life was cut short too soon, unknowingly in opposition of a bench bylaw to the contrary. Around six months ago the flowers started to get removed. Charrie then learned about the policy, and tried to come up with a solution — the sconces. The idea was shot down earlier this week, as concerns for ‘Cemetery Way’ were raised and now she has a couple of weeks to remove all traces of what she’s been doing. Speaking with her, it’s clear she’s hurt about this latest turn of events. But that’s nothing compared to the hurt she’s felt for the years since her daughter was killed. Hurt that we should all hope we will never feel. One would hope that the town’s great and good could empathize with her loss, maybe create a little wiggle room in their policy. Instead she’s been asked to remove her flowers and offered the “choice” from one city staffer to move her grieving place elsewhere. All in all it brings one word to mind — “petty.” So tread lightly on “Peachland’s Petty Way.” And definitely don’t bring flowers. @KelownaNewsKat

Letters WEST KELOWNA CITY HALL
YES campaign manager vents frustration To the editor: The newspapers have provided equal opportunities for both sides of the West Kelowna referendum debate to submit material related to their views on the Sept. 17 vote. Admittedly the responsibilities for factual information rest with the authors while the paper remains neutral. However, there appears to be no real investigative reporting that tries to clarify some of the blatant unanswered questions that the group opposing the referendum cannot face: Questions that their own printed articles pose. Yet they seem to avoid answering even when asked directly.
Perhaps voters, plus reporters, should be aware of pertinent questions and: • Ask why a 2.6 per cent fixed interest is not a good investment as a government backed mortgage? • Ask how have they arrived at a cost that the city hall can be built for less? • Ask them to explain how a simple three story wood frame building is a Taj Mahal? • Ask who among them has such financial expertise to accuse the city figures as being wrong? • Ask them if they actually followed and participated in the history of our becoming a city? • Ask when is the right time to build since
they say it is not time to build a city hall? • Ask them to explain their city centre location if Elliot is not city centre ? • Ask them to identify the city-owned property that can accommodate city hall with parking? • Ask if anyone within the group is a financial investor that would say this is a bad investment? • Finally just ask the NO group to do the public a favour: Be honest, stop distorting the facts, stick to the truth.

NO to city hall a rejection of its costs To the editor: The NO side [to build a community hall/ civic centre in West Kelowna] has a number of key planks to the overwhelming opposition the alternative approval process revealed. They are not a rejection of a new city hall, nor a rejection of the concept of Westbank district and community being an ideal cultural centre, which it already is. It is a rejection of the costs, size, 3P partnership, failure to follow the city’s own
consultant’s recommendations of a much more modest project and the distance from other established districts and communities. A vote against the proposal should be made for the following reasons: 1 Excess cost of project 2. Civic centre excessive costs 3. Location 4. Alternative locations available 5. Financial reserve prudence 6. 3P partnerships

A word from West K city hall developer
To the editor: I have watched with interest as the NO side in the [West Kelowna city hall] referendum debate have adjusted their message over the past few months. During the alternative approval process, they said they weren’t necessarily opposed to the city hall but needed a referendum. To get people to sign petitions they used outrageous claims that the project would triple in cost and taxes were going sky high, even though they knew it was a fixed price contract and those claims were false. Now that those claims have been disproven with the facts they seem to be scrambling to find any issue with which they can get press and make traction, such as the water in Lakeview Heights. As o a representative of the land owner and potential developer of the project I felt it was important to set the record straight with facts. Strategic Development Group acquired the land in question some 10 years ago. At the time, the six-acre parcel contained an old fruit packing plant and a number of unsightly shacks and abandoned houses. Our goal was to redevelop the site and put something there that both the owner and the community would benefit from. The first phase of our development vision resulted in the creation of The Heritage Seniors Assisted Living Facility, now a beautiful home to approximately 150 seniors. In 2011 after a years-long review and consultation process, the city adopted the Westbank Centre Revitalization Plan to encourage new development and increased tax revenue in the Westbank Centre area and, hopefully, transform what was becoming a dying neighbourhood. Approximately three years ago, as a continuation of the Westbank Centre Revitalization process, the city conducted a ‘market sounding exercise’ to find a suitable site for a new city hall. Out of approximately 20 potential applicants who replied to that initial request, a total of nine landowners
were invited to participate in a Request for Qualification. Of those nine a total of four qualified for the final step in the process—a much more sophisticated Request For Proposal, where participants had to expend considerable funds to establish a bona-fide development plan and project proposal. After considerable thought and analysis on the part of the city and their consultants, the strategic proposal was chosen as the winner and we entered into serious negotiations with the city to proceed. Now, after almost three years, with considerable resources in time and money having been spent by all parties, we are at a crossroads. Our vision to redevelop this unsightly parcel of land … has the potential to be realized and we are excited about moving forward with it. Working with City of West Kelowna staff has been a long drawn out process involving countless meetings, thorough evaluations and negotiations. Every step of the process has been carefully discussed, reviewed and evaluated on the basis of value for money. Never once did we hear the words Taj Mahal. On the contrary, city staff have been clear from the start that this project was to be built with taxpayers in mind—every dollar thought out and accounted for. The city already owns a half acre parcel of land on Elliott Road immediately adjacent to our land. They acquired this parcel so that an eventual extension of Gosset Road could be connected through to Elliott Road. One of the many reasons they chose our proposal was because we incorporated land already owned by the city into our development thus reducing the requirement for the city to acquire any more land than necessary. With our proposal, the city will only need to acquire an additional approximately half acre to contain the entire city hall and parking required. All remaining portions of the development, including the public plaza, will be built and paid for by the developer. The city is not contributing any money to the private portion of the development and the
AGM
city will have a ‘right of way’ in perpetuity over the public plaza meaning that it’s there for public use forever. The developer is also upgrading both Elliott and Gossett roads with sidewalks and services on all land abutting the project. Again, at no cost to the city…. I encourage all citizens to assess the real numbers and facts by going to the city’s web site or by talking to members of staff or council. This proposal puts the new city hall within a block of the geographical centre of the City of West Kelowna. There are many valid reasons why this project should go ahead and few valid reasons to say no. It is the right time, the right place and the right price and it will never be cheaper to do it than right now. I hope that all citizens of West Kelowna will study the facts, separate the rhetoric, and vote YES on Sept. 17. Rob Moyor, managing director, Strategic Development Group

“We need a minimum of $1.47 million to meet the needs of our valley communities (from Lake Country to Peachland) and we need community heroes to step forward to help meet that goal,” said Shelley Gilmore, executive director of the United Way Central and South Okanagan Similkameen (UW CSO). “We all have the opportunity to be a hero.” Gilmore was speaking at the kick-off breakfast Wednesday at the Coast Capri Hotel to mark the start of the local United Way fundraising campaign for 2016. The hero reference by Gilmore was a theme of the breakfast, which will be extended into the campaign, to show how everyone can make a contribution, big or small in cash donation or volunteer time, to help improve the plight of the less fortunate in our communities. Last year, the campaign raised $1.35 million, which was about 75 per cent from payroll deductions contributed by local business employees. The funds made an impact through United Way supported agencies for some 85,000 people. Gilmore said the organization remains committed to
addressing the issues of homelessness and poverty, from children to seniors, that it embarked on last year, wanting to bring agencies working on the same causes together to share resources and to create an attitude of investment in the quality of life for all local residents. “Just a $1 donation a day over the course of a year can generate $365 and create true heroes in our community who are helping residents in need to make a change for the better in their lives, to create a more inclusive community,” Gilmore said. One of those 85,000 people impacted by a United Way supported agency, a high school student named Tamara, spoke about the difficulties her family has faced in her life so far and how the Karis Support Society has enabled her mom, herself and her three siblings to come together in a stable home environment. Tamara said the family was pulled apart by an abusive relationship between her mom and her boyfriend, leading her mom into addiction issues and the children to be placed in foster care.

Gilmore said it’s important going forward to help save fractured families, and to talk about the broken pieces that exist in our community fabric. “If we keep these issues of homelessness and poverty hush hush, nobody talks about them,”Gilmore said. “We have to talk about
these things if we are going to fix them.” Cathy Conway, chief executive officer of Interior Savings Credit Union and chair of the United Way CSO board, said supporting the United Way fundraising campaign is a way for the community to work together to improve the quality of life in the Central Okanagan. Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran reiterated the city’s support for the United Way so it can in turn fund more than 40 social service agencies that provide services to families, seniors and children facing needs. “Supporting the United Way strengthens the social fabric of our community,” Basran said.

PEACHLAND TRAFFIC
FUN-RELAXED-INFORMATIVE
Council pushes for Hwy 97 speed reduction Kathy MIchaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Peachland politicians are lobbying the provincial government to implement immediate safety enhancements to Highway 97. “Council passed a resolution to ask the (B.C.) Ministry of Transportation to reduce speed from the area at the top of Drought Hill and (on the other side of the town) down from Antler’s Beach to 70 km/h,” said Peachland Mayor Cindy Fortin. “It’s just too fast right now.” Although Fortin has little hope that the ministry will support the request, she says the 90 km/h speed limit on those portions of the highway is too fast for existing road conditions. Both stretches of road have had multiple crashes — some with fatal consequences. Although the cause has yet to be released, there was a fatal motorcycle crash near Drought Hill on Highway 97 last weekend involving a motorcycle and a passenger vehicle on Highway 97, south of the Highway 97C interchange. A north-bound Harley Davidson motorcycle collided with the rear of a Honda Accord which had stopped behind a third vehicle waiting to turn left off the highway. The driver and passenger of the motorcycle, a man and a woman, were rushed from the scene to hospital by ambulance. The woman later died in hospital. Fortin doesn’t know when council will hear back on the request, but next week they will be getting an update on the study the transportation ministry is conducting on the portion of Highway 97, through Peachland to decide whether it should be widened to four lanes or if a bypass may be necessary. “They are going to come to us in the next council meeting to give us

e l t t i l a s ’ e r e h T f o u l l s a ! n i r o i r r a W Last season: 38-17-2-1, second in the Interior Division. Won the BCHL championship, the Western Canada Cup and RBC Cup titles. Head coach and GM: Rylan Ferster (sixth season) Key Returnees: D Nicholas Rutigliano (6-18-24), D Jake Harrison (6-20-26), F Connor Sodergren (8-22-30), F Quin Foreman (13-13-26), and G Keelan Williams (13-6-0, 3.38 GAA). New faces: With just eight returnees, there’s no shortage of new faces in the Warriors lineup, led by 5-foot-8 forward Mitch Martan. Small but quick and skilled, the Boston College commit had 64 points in 79 games the last two seasons at St. Andrews College in Ontario. The Warriors will also look to the likes of Parm Dhaliwal and Chase Dubois to help fell the offensive void left by the departures of Jonathan Desbiens, Liam Blackburn and Kylar Hope (99 goals combined). Dhaliwal had 48 points in 35 games last season at Yale Academy, while Dubois, a product of Williams Lake, had 34 points in 25 games with the BCMML’s Cariboo Cougars. Michael Ryan, 18, is a skilled blue liner from Marion, Mass. The Warriors will get also get some help on defence from the recently acquired Stephen Kleysen. The Winnipeg native has both junior A experience in Manitoba and has played in the USHL/ Outlook: If winning breeds winning, then the Warriors can expect to carry over some of last season’s championship prosperity into the 2016-17 campaign. However, with the majority of last year’s RBC Cup team gone, the Warriors will be leaning heavily on their eight returning players for leadership. The experience and road travelled by the likes of captain Nicholas Rutigliano, defencemen Jake Harrison, and forwards Connor Sodergren and Quin Foreman last season, will be invaluable to the club’s newcomers. PHOTOGRAPHY The Warriors will be younger and physically smaller this season, but 2 5 0 -2 1 2 -0 1 1 0 according to owner Mark Cheyne will also be “a little bit quicker team with GREYSTOKEPHOTO@ SHAW.CA WWW.GREYSTOKEPHOTO.COM some guys that can fly.”

WATCH Presented by:
By Mike Straus Charlene Blais has worked in a variety of industries, but the one that grabbed her early — and the one she ultimately returned to — stemmed from a passion for helping young people. “I’m not one of those people who always had a plan,” Blais says. “I participated in a youth cultural exchange program when I was 17. I lived in Colombia, and for me, it underscored the opportunities that exist for young people in Canada. Little did I know what impact that would have on the rest of my life.” Today, Blais serves as a workforce developer with the YMCA Okanagan Youth Works program, where she acts as a liaison between employers seeking fresh hires and young adults looking for meaningful employment. Blais’ role involves a unique combination of classroom facilitation — helping youth to find jobs, skills training and education opportunities — and gauging the needs of local industry. She often finds herself matching individual values, interests and skills to local labour market data to identify opportunities for young people. “It’s employment counseling, but there’s so much more involved in it. I work for the YMCA, which is a non-profit, but I work in business — I help market young people to businesses. It’s an interesting blend of values.” Blais notes that young

Warren Henderson When Jackson Whistle went down with a season-ending injury in 2015-16, it led to a dramatic shift in the careers of two other goaltenders. Michael Herringer was suddenly thrust into the role as the No. 1 stopper for the Kelowna Rockets, while Brodan Salmond earned an unexpected promotion from the junior A ranks in Alberta. Now, as the 2016-17 season begins, Herringer and Salmond are teaming up to provide the last line of defense for WHL club. As Whistle took the sidelines last January, Herringer was thrown into the fire and went on to make 19 consecutive starts for the Rockets. And after some shaky nights between the pipes early on, the Comox native soon settled into new role as the club’s primary netminder. “Michael would admit to some growing pains early on with regards to having to play so many
WARREN HENDERSON/CAPITAL NEWS
whenderson@kelownacapnews.com
Brodan Salmond, 17, joined the Rockets in a relief role in February from the Jr. A Camrose Kodiaks. back-to-back nights, 19 straight games, that was a big adjustment, dealing with fatigue,” said Travis Crickard, the Rockets goaltending coach. “But once he adjusted and settled in, he did an admirable job. He had some particularly good games in the playoffs, so that was encouraging to see. “This is a good opportunity for him this year to pick up where he left off,” added Crickard, “and have a full season as our starting goaltender.”
Herringer went on to play in 44 regular season games, posting a 3.18 goals against average and a .900 save ratio. The 6-foot, 175-pound stepped up his game a notch in the playoffs, with a 2.44 GA A and a .928 save percentage. With half a season as the No. 1 man and an off-season of hard work under his belt, Herringer said he’s motivated to make the most of the No. 1 job. “I want to be the guy pretty much every single night, hopefully play 60 games this season, that’s why I worked so hard all summer,” said Herringer. “I feel pretty good, I’m just going to try and carry on what was going on at the end of last season. “Having a really good team in front of you helps with your confidence as well.” In Salmond’s case, the 17-year-old from Calgary plans to build on the experience he gained late last season, seeing action in seven games and posting a 3.31 goals against average.
DOUGLAS FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
Herringer to carry load, Salmond on standby
Michael Herringer, 20, will start the 2016-17 season as the Rockets No. 1 goaltender. Crickard says Salmond—who was called up from the AJHL’s Camrose Kodiaks last February—has made some significant strides in his game since last spring. “I shouldn’t say I was surprised, but I was happy to see how much Brodan had improved over the summer,” said Crickard. “He worked very hard, he did a lot of work with (goaltending coach) Lyle Mast, and improved several aspects of his game.
“We expect Brodan to play some quality games for us this year so he’s ready to be our main guy next season.” Like any healthy goaltending competition, Salmond hopes to be able to push Herringer for more time in the Rockets net this season. In the end, Salmond simply hopes to get better while filling whatever role the coaches ask of him. “I just want to take it day by day and be the best I can,” said Salmond.
“I obviously want to push Mike for the starting job, we’re pretty good friends and it’s good competition between us. I think that’ll be beneficial to me, him and the team. It just makes everybody better. “I want to work hard every day,” he added, “just do whatever they need, whether it’s sitting on the bench and being supportive, or playing in games.” @capnewsports

Four years removed from his last game with the Kelowna Rockets, Adam Brown is back— this time as a member of the coaching staff. Among the 24-year-old Yorba Linda, CA native’s duties will be assisting fellow coach Travis Crickard with the team’s goaltenders and looking after video for Rockets home games. “I’m really enjoying
it so far, really happy to get the opportunity to come back and work with the team,” Brown said following a team practise this week at Prospera Place. “The coaching staff we have here really welcomed me and I’m learning a lot every day from everybody around the rink here. They’ve taken me under the wing and shown me the ropes.” Brown played goal for the Rockets from 2008 to 2012, playing in 200
regular season games and 17 more in the post season. Brown spent his first three seasons as a pro in the East Coast Hockey League, split between Colorado, Georgia and Hamilton, Ont. After one more stop last season in Sweden, Brown pondered whether a career change just might be in order. It wasn’t long before discussions with Rockets’ president and GM Bruce Hamilton led to an offer
Brown couldn’t refuse. “Kelowna is where I’ve been spending most of my summers, so when I came back I had to decide if I wanted to keep playing or move on and choose a different path,” he said. “Talking to Bruce, this opportunity came up and it was one I couldn’t pass up. Obviously having a chance to play here is one thing, but to be able to come back for a second time is not something that happens often in an organization
like this.” For Brown, the coaching genes just happen to run in the family. Currently an assistant with Arizona Coyotes, his dad, Newell Brown, has worked on the staffs of six different NHL teams since 1996. In addition to his new job with the Rockets, Adam Brown is also working this season as a goaltending coach with Kelowna Minor Hockey.

Along with his teammates, the fans and the entire organization, Nicholas Rutigliano plans to savour the moment. Tonight at Royal LePage Place, the West Kelowna Warriors will celebrate the club’s magical 201516 season by raising four banners to the rafters— the Interior Division, BCHL, Western Canada Cup and RBC Cup titles. “It’s going to be a special moment,” said Rutigliano, who was named the Warriors’ new captain in the off-season. “We when see those banners go up it’ll show just how all the hard work and dedication paid off. “It’ will be great to celebrate it with all the people who were part of it, the loyal fans who will be there Friday,” he added. “I’m really looking forward to it.” Following the ceremony, it’s back to business for the defending Canadian junior A champs who open the 2016-17 BCHL season against the Trail Smoke Eaters. Face off is 7 p.m. With just eight players returning from last year’s club, the Warriors will have a considerably different look this season. Rutigliano said the sooner the Warriors find team chemistry, the better. ‘”With so many new guys, the biggest thing we need right off the bat is to really get to know each other,” Rutigliano said. “It’s going to be important for this group to bond as quickly as possible. “Once you bond as a team, it’s hard to break. That was the biggest thing about last year’s team and why we had success.” Gone from last year’s championship squad are forwards Jonathan Desbiens, Liam Blackburn, Kylar Hope and Garrett Forster, who combined for 124 goals. Defensive stalwarts Rylan Yaremko and Kristian Blumenschien have also moved on to college, as has goalie Matthew Greenfield. Returning on the back end is Rutigliano, Tyler Anderson and Jake Harrison, while Quin Foreman, Conner Sodergren, Reed Gunville and Jared Marino return with veteran leadership up front. Keelan Williams, a key
contributor down the stretch filling in for an injured Greenfield, gives West Kelowna some stability in goal. Among the newcomers expected to contribute on defense will be Stephen Kleysen, 19, a Winnipeg native with both Canadian junior A and USHL experience, and Michael Ryan from
Marion, Mass. Surrey’s Parm Daliwhal, Mitch Martan from Whitby, ON, and Chase Dubois from Williams Lake will be called upon to help fill the scoring void at forward. Overall, the Warriors will be a somewhat smaller and younger team than last year, but hope to be able to pressure their opponents with team speed. And with so many new faces, it may not be all smooth sailing early in the 2016-17 campaign. Forward Quin Foreman said that’s where the leadership of the eight returning players comes in. “What we learned last year, the young guys will

Stuff does go wrong and you’re going to have a bad weekend once in a while. It’s not the end of the world. We just have to be patient and stick with it.” As for the competition the Warriors will face within the Interior Division, head coach and GM Rylan Ferster expects another battle from start to finish. “It’s been, I think, the toughest division since I’ve been coaching and I don’t expect it to be any different this year,” said Ferster. “There won’t be any easy nights.” The Warriors and Smoke Eaters will meet again Saturday in Trail in the back half of the home-and-home set.

The Westshore Rebels desperately want something the Okanagan Sun possess. Ben Macauley’s team has no intention of handing it over. On Saturday night in Victoria, first place in the B.C. Football Conference will be on the line when the unbeaten Sun (6-0) battles the second-place Rebels (5-1) at Westhills Stadium. “The way we look at it, we have first place and someone is trying to take it away from us,” said Macauley, the Sun’s first year head coach. “We know it’s a tough road trip, how to get to the island and be rested to play will be a challenge. “We play a pretty good football team, they have some guys that can make some plays,” he added.
“We’re going to have to be at our best, just like every week. Everyone is taking their best shot at us.” The Sun won the first meeting between the clubs, 27-21 on Aug. 6 at the Apple Bowl. That night, the Sun did an admirable job of containing the dangerous Jamel Lyles, holding the Rebels’ running back to 113 yards along the ground. Lyles leads the conference in rushing with 1,066 yards and is well on his way to setting a new BCFC single season record. Mitigating the damage by the talented back this Saturday night is a test Macauley said his defense will be excited to take on. “We don’t mind at all, it’s basically daring us to be at our best fundamentally,” said Macauley, whose team

Canadian paralympian Jenn Oakes is the latest recruit for UBC Okanagan women’s volleyball.
Paralympian to join Heat women’s program Jennifer Oakes, the newest addition to the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s volleyball program, has skipped training camp. For a newbie to the CIS, this could traditionally be a careerending move. But Oakes has a pretty good excuse—she’s in Rio with Canada’s Paralympic team. At 18, Oakes is the youngest member of Canada’s sitting volleyball squad. A libero, Oakes comes out of Calgary’s William Aberhart High School and the Canuck Volleyball club. Oakes is one of seven players to be joining the Heat for the 201617 Canada West season after the departure of six graduating seniors at the end of last year. “Jenn will join the team later in September, but she has a good reason for missing training camp” said Heat coach Steve Manuel. “After representing Canada at the Paralympic games, Jenn will be able to share her international volleyball experiences, something I believe will be very valuable for our program.” Last season’s libero, graduate Kailin Jones, was one of the university’s ‘female graduating player of the year’ recipients for UBC Okanagan and was named player of the match in the Heat’s bronze medal match at the national tournament last season. Her departure from the Heat will leave an opening at that position that Oakes is hoping to help fill, as her
international experience will assist in her transition from high school to university play. “She has already shown an incredible work ethic and dedication, these qualities will serve her well as a CIS student athlete,” added Manuel. At 17, Oakes lost the lower portion of her right leg in a boating accident. Instead of giving up on sports, Oakes worked hard to come back has shown why she has won such accolades and earned a berth on the Paralympic team. For the Heat’s newest member, joining the team will be an exhilarating transition. “I’m excited to begin this chapter of my volleyball career, looking forward to working hard every day to get better as an athlete, and hoping I will grow as an individual with the support of the team,” she said. Oakes is also starting her academic career in Human Kinetics with the School of Health and Exercise Sciences at UBC’s Okanagan campus. Her reason for joining this program at the Okanagan campus was simple and reasonable, “Great campus, smaller school, good HKIN program, great volleyball training.” This is the first time Canada’s women sitting volleyball has qualified for the Paralympics. Once the games wrap up on Sept. 18, Oakes will join the Heat as a CIS student athlete. With her Olympic experience behind her, she is set to make a large impact, adding international expertise to a team ready to defend their national ranking.
The Okanagan regional team celebrates its silver medal win in women’s over 40 soccer division at the 2016 American Masters Games held in Vancouver. The Okanagan team, which finished with a 2-2 record, featured six Kelowna players—Jen Van Every, Shanti Handley, Nicole Elliot, Maureen Sharko, Yvonne Rogers and Terri Willoughby. More than 5,000 athletes from 50 countries attended the inaugural American Masters Games.

district branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association will host a two-day Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) course on Sept. 22 and 23. This course is appropriate for anyone (16+ years old), with or without prior training, to learn how to recognize
when someone could be at risk of suicide, talk with them, help them keep safe, connect them to community supports and resources, and work together to create a safe plan. “ASIST offers simple, life-saving, suicide intervention skills that anyone can, and should,
learn,” said Shelagh Turner, executive director of CMHA Kelowna. “Much like first aid, having the knowledge, skills and confidence to help someone at risk can be the difference between life and death.” For more information online, see cmhakelowna. com/events.
MEMORIAL BENCHES
Peachland council against homage enhancements Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Peachland council voted against a proposal that would allow memorial bench buyers an option to add a selfwatering planter or a pair of mounted sconces, earlier this week. District policy states that memorial benches on Beach Avenue should remain without floral adornment. Self-watering planters are available from the district at a cost of nearly $600. The council meeting also marked the end of one woman’s ongoing homage to her daughter Ashlee Hyatt, who was killed in Peachland six years ago this summer. Charrie Fichter’s flowers were being removed and that’s when she learned she was contravening a bench policy. In response she proposed the sconces option, so she’d be able to continue adorning her daughter’s memorial bench with bouquets. Now that the proposal has been
denied, she’s been told she has two weeks to remove all flowers from the space. “I change the flowers in the corners all the time and I go there to celebrate Ashlee on the anniversary of her death and her birthday,” said Fichter. “This decision feels like a personal attack.” In response to council’s decision, Charrie’s daughter Brooklyn started an online petition in hopes that council would revisit their decision. Overnight she gained 400 signatures. “Ever since I was young it has been a way of coping for my family and keeping my sisters name alive,” she writes on the petition site. “I know lots of people who go down there just to sit with her and hangout there. My mom takes very good care of the bench and it means a lot to me and my family.” To see the petition go to https://www. change.org/p/everyone-allow-flowerson-ashlee-hyatt-s-memorial-bench.

Challenge: Learn the rules of the road and follow them I recently challenged perceptions about rights of way between drivers and pedestrians at intersections. Most drivers seem clueless that pedestrians have the right of way at every corner, not just the ones with crosswalk markings. Conversely, most pedestrians seem clueless about their legal obligation to look out for their own safety, even in a clearly marked, flashing lights crosswalk. If you missed those columns, see them at kelownacapnews.com. Another perception problem was handed to me in the last two weeks. Consider this scenario: A 61-year-old cyclist riding against traffic on a sidewalk, at night, with no lights and no helmet. A 19-year-old woman is leaving the parking lot of the downtown Kelowna Boston Pizza, turning right. The bicycle passes in front of the car which hits the left side of the cycle and cyclist. The cyclist is taken away by ambulance. I suspect that almost everyone reading this column is pointing their
Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT fingers squarely at the cyclist as being at fault in this scenario. Look at all the laws the cyclist is breaking! Section 183(2)(a) of the Motor Vehicle Act prohibits riding on a sidewalk, s.183(6)(a-c) requires the use of lights at night, s.184(1) requires a helmet and s.183(1) imposes obligations of a vehicle on a cyclist, which includes riding with instead of against traffic. What about if, instead of a cyclist, it was a pedestrian (perhaps a parent pushing a baby buggy), a jogger or rollerblader? None of those laws would have protected against the unfortunate coincidence of passing in front of a driveway access at that unfortunate moment when a vehicle was exiting. What about the rules of the road that apply to the motorist?
Did you know that just like “every corner is a crosswalk”, “every sidewalk is a stop sign”? Section 176(1) requires a driver in these circumstances to come to a complete stop ahead of the sidewalk and then yield the right of way to pedestrians. Have you ever done that? Have you ever, when coming out of a parking lot, actually brought your vehicle to a complete stop before the nose of your vehicle got to the sidewalk? If you saw a pedestrian coming, of course you would stop. I’m talking about when you’re approaching the street, usually with something blocking your vision down the sidewalk one way or the other. If you are like most motorists, you roll across the sidewalk, looking to your left for oncoming traffic, until you have a clear view. It is at that point, your nose likely fully into or crossing the sidewalk, when you come to a stop.
I wonder how many tickets would be handed out if the RCMP had a blitz on this important road safety law and staked out at a popular grocery store parking lot. If the motorist who hit the cyclist had stopped her vehicle ahead of the sidewalk and looked to her right to see if there were any pedestrians, as the law required, she would have seen the unhelmeted cyclist on this well-lit downtown Kelowna street and not run into him. In my opinion, a court would likely assess this motorist at least 50 per cent at fault in this collision. E-mail me if you would like a copy of Bradley v. Bath, 2010 BCCA 10, a case of our Court of Appeal with a similar fact pattern. Unfortunately, the cyclist suffered 100 per cent of the injuries. I challenge the RCMP to blitz this important road safety issue. Imagine the tickets that would be issued if law enforcement was staked out for even an hour at any popular grocery store parking lot. I challenge you to focus
on this road safety point until you have changed
your driving behaviour.

UPCOMING EVENTS CONCERTS Kytami Friday, Sept. 2 Wild Son Saturday, Sept. 3 10 p.m. Doc Willoughbys 353 Bernard Ave. Kelowna If a line exists between classical and electronic, between ancient and new age, synthetic and organic music, Kytami has sliced them all using only a violin bow. Kytami has already been dubbed a ‘music revolutionary’ by Whats Up Magazine USA, a ‘violinist extremist’ here at home, and has been summoned to bring her violin thunder to audiences in Taiwan, Dubai and Berlin. Through an alchemy of classical, fiddle styles fused with the heavy bass and hip hop elements, Kytami has managed to soar above the constraints of musical genre. Wild Son have firmly established themselves as one of the must see bands in western Canada. This four-piece group has created a fresh sound, which they’ve coined “funk folk-rock.” Wild Son is comprised of a high-energy violinist accompanied by a drummer and bass player. THEATRE When Country Music Was Still Western presented by Theatre Kelowna Society. Sept. 14 to Oct. 2 Black Box Theatre 1375 Water St. Kelowna Theatre Kelowna Society’s fall shows at the Black Box Theatre are about nostalgia.
The society’s past presentations have featured music and moments from the 1930s through to the ‘70s to a faithful audience following. This country music revue continues in the same tradition, featuring the songs of the artists who helped make country music a legitimate genre. In its initial stages, it was simply called western music, later that was amended to country and western. Today, country has drifted into the pop music genre. ‘Good ‘Ol Country Comfort’ will focus on the music of such great country artists as Ray Price, Eddie Arnold, Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, Johnny Cash, Kitty Wells, Don Williams and Merle Haggard and Hank Williams.

a ( m k h i c f N M w c fi u the Rock, as it is so fondly referred to? Newfoundland Labrador is c the first province of Canada to see the sunrise and the last to join b the Confederation in 1947. a For one week this summer I drove 640 km north along the a western coastline highway with the ocean on the left and spruce l forests and mountain ranges on the right — the Appalachian o mountain chain, born in Alabama, ends its journey here. v Before I arrived in Newfoundland I was told to watch out for moose, as there are 120,000 of them. Newfoundlanders keep n their ‘moose eyes’ open just in case one or more of them decides a to leap out in front of your car. I was wide-eyed searching the t sides of the road, both fearful and excited. Oddly enough, I saw t only one and he was a beauty. A family I met at lunch that day “ told me they had seen 13 on the same patch of highway ... oh t well. c What I did see were lighthouses. In Rose Blanche, just south d
Granite lighthouse in Rose Blanche, Newfoundland.
The Rock: A multifaceted gem with innumerable sagas Carol Ann Davidson contributor
CAROL ANN ANN DAVIDSON DAVIDSON CAROL
Canada’s Atlantic province of Newfoundland and Labrador is littered with lines. There are fishing lines, clotheslines, ancestral lines, beelines, cod lines, lines laden with knitted woolens and yarns of a humorous kind, but what you won’t find are long waiting lines. The longest line I experienced on my recent trip to the island of Newfoundland was while waiting to get off the Atlantic Marine Ferry in Port aux Basques, after a six-hour journey from North Sydney, Nova Scotia. During the crossing, I met a trucker who regaled me with classic Newfie sayings such as “Stay where you’re to ‘till I comes where you’re at.” Their singular way with words is legendary. Even the names of their villages and towns can’t escape — Black Tickle, Come by Chance, Cow Head, Heart’s Desire, Dildo and Nameless Cove. I mean, how can you not be enchanted before you even reach

The quiet beauty of Newfoundland (left) and the sculptural majesty of the last iceberg of the season, at the northern tip of Newfoundland.
of Port aux Basques, I visited one of the last granite lighthouses on the Atlantic seaboard, perched high above one of its most dramatically beautiful coasts. Several kilometres away, in Isle aux Morts (Isle of the Dead), the memory of the lighthouse keeper’s family’s heroic deed in 1828 is kept alive in annual celebrations. The Harvey family, including their Newfoundland dog, Hairy Man, rescued 163 sailors whose ships sank off their coast. It was here that I first noticed something unique to Newfoundland cemeteries — bright bouquets of flowers atop all the gravestones in such a joyous celebration of life, in seeming defiance of the very name of the village itself. Newfoundlanders are nothing if not defiant and resilient. Fishing was their way of life and cod their lifesaver. The word “fish” itself, usually refers to cod. You can have cod tongue (apparently a delicacy, which I politely declined), cod au gratin (with lots of cheese on top), cod fish cakes (my favorite), fried cod, grilled cod, cod any way you want it. Whatever fish is caught that day, you can be sure it will find its way to your plate. Fresh mussels, snow crab, (lobster in season), halibut and salmon and creamy fish chowders round out the sea portion of the menus. Then there are scrunchions, fried pork bits, which can be washed down with Screech, a Newfoundland rum with 40 per cent alcohol. Please don’t try drinking this and driving, as the moose on the
roads might be the least of your problems. That afternoon I drove on to Gros Morne National Park, one of two UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Western Newfoundland. It is 1,800 sq km of mountains, bays, fjords, forests and all the outdoor activities anyone could possibly wish for. And to top all that, one of the few places on the planet where you can actually walk on the earth’s mantle — The Tablelands. Tight-knit communities dot Gros Morne National
Park. Woody Point in particular is known for its yearly Writers at Woody Point literary festival in Bonne Bay. Perfectly understandable considering the surrounding beauty. There’s also the music festival and theatre productions just about everywhere. Sipping a Newfoundland-made beer down in any of the waterside bistros, while watching whales, kayaks and ferries parade by is a well-entrenched pastime. A few miles away in the tiny, charming fishing
GreyStoke Photography
village of Trout River, clotheslines were multitasking: Cod fish drying in the sunshine, woolen mittens and socks for sale pinned to the lines, and fresh, white laundry blowing in the sea breeze. All out there among the distinct square wooden houses (Salt Box) painted in bright, cheerful colors. A photographer’s dream. That night I met
the Ugly stick. It was being played by one of the musicians during a rollicking concert by Anchors Aweigh, at the Ocean View Hotel, Rocky Harbour. Before you leave Rocky Harbour, order the cod fish cakes at Java Jack’s and shop at The Glass Station where Urve Manuel’s one-of-a-kind art glass art is a marvel.
Continuing north, at St. Anthony’s on Newfoundland’s northern tip, I witnessed truly awesome beauty. Despite a torrential downpour, Captain Paul Alcock with Northland Discovery Boat Tours expertly navigated the tossing sea and encircled, up close, the last colossal, majestic iceberg of the season. We may have been wet to the
core, but none of us will ever forget that glorious sight. Alas, no whales came our way. Good old reliable porpoises did their best to entertain and they didn’t disappoint. The Rock turned out to be a multifaceted gem with innumerable sagas to be savored for a lifetime. Capital News-Kelowna

brings me to the point where I have to recite a bunch of stats. Now again, this is just between you and me, gentle reader, and I’ll try to make it sound like it is all my original thoughts, of course, but you and I know I am just parroting the launch info. Nevertheless, the long and short of it is this: The 2017 Titan comes in five different trims (the other ones are S, SV and SL), three cab choices, King Cab, Crew cab and single cab (with correspondingly increasing bed lengths – the King has a 6’5” bed, the single extends that to eight feet) and a choice of four and two-wheel drive. Wrapped in the restyled good looks of the exterior (the big new grille in particular is a bold statement, and departure from the outgoing Titan), it is positioned to offer a new level of competition to the work-truck establishment when it arrives at dealers; and Nissan is hoping their improved warranty will be the icing. Calling it the best truck warranty in Canada, it is five years, bumper-to-bumper (or 160,000 km, whichever comes first). No doubt, the 2017 Titan has something to offer anyone considering a full-size truck, and price points that should entice a range of buyers. Moving up from $44,650 for an entry-level S (crew cab), the V8 – powered lineup tops out at $65,800 for the Platinum Reserve (and the diesel-engine Titan in the same trim is slightly more expensive, $68,500). We’ll see if their strategy works, but you can’t say the new Titan doesn’t lack variety or comprehensive packaging as it moves out of its niche-truck phase and into the all-round, real working world.
Today’s trucks are no longer just workhorses as they now offer much greater levels of comfort and technological sophistication, but would you now consider making one your main vehicle?
Safety Tip: The start of the school year is a great time to review the rules of the road and your kids’ route to and from school. If you’re dropping them off in a school zone, make sure they exit the car on the side closest to the sidewalk.

Intelligence, performance in a luxury package By Jim Robinson OTTAWA, ON — Mercedes-Benz calls the 2017 E-Class luxury sedan a “Masterpiece of Intelligence” and it is all of that. The new E-Class abounds in safety and driver aids, some of which have already been seen on Wheels.ca (see Mercedes Pink Noise), but the one grabbing all the attention is semi-autonomous driving. You’ve seen the Mercedes TV commercial where the driver takes his hands off the wheel and lets the car do the steering. For it to work, there must be a road line on the left and right of the E-Class so the radar and cameras use the lines and road signs to reference where the car is. For instance, if the road is covered with snow or there are not enough signs, like on the Prairies, it does not work. During the morning portion of the 2017 E-Class introduction in Ottawa, we drove out to the Calabogie area to test the system and it worked just fine on Highway 417. Mercedes had suggested we follow the route they laid out, but my driving partner and myself took the most direct routes to the various stops along the way. Here the system was a hit and miss thing with the system working sometimes on and then off. In a different car in the afternoon, it worked perfectly, so I’m chalking it up to something we did, not the car such as roads without a white line on the right. But the good news was just about everything on the E-Class worked splendidly, starting with Air Body Control. It is a multi-chamber air suspension system which works with the shocks to give different damping rates at each wheel so the E-Class remains stable and glued to the road even when cornering at speed. At speeds above 125 km/h the body lowers 15 mm, or at low speeds, it can go up 35 mm for increased ground clearance. This is all controlled by a rotary dial and touch pad on the centre console that does hundreds of things with layers and layers of information that must be experienced to be appreciated. One of its main functions is called Dynamic Select and it allows the driver to adjust the engine, trans-
mission and suspension through five modes – Eco, Comfort, Sport, Sport+ and Individual. My co-driver simply couldn’t keep his hand off it, changing the ride parameters every few minutes altering the chassis demeanour of the E-Class at a variety of speeds and road surfaces. There is so much more but I only have so much space, so let’s get to the new E-Class that is 43 mm longer with a 65 mm increase in wheelbase for more back seat legroom and a coupe-like shape that is nonetheless unmistakably Mercedes-Benz. The E 300 is powered by a twin turbo, direct injection 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 241 hp and 273 lb/ft of torque and a 0-100 km/h time of 6.4 seconds. The E 400 gets a twin turbo, direct injection 3.0-litre V6 with 329 hp and 354 lb/ ft of torque with a 0-100 km/h time of 5.2 seconds. Also being offered is the Mercedes-AMG E43 version with the same V6 but with AMG doing its performance magic to increase power to 396 hp, 385 lb/ft and a 0-100 km/h time of 4.6 seconds. They are mated to an allnew nine-speed transmission, the first of its kind in the premium segment and featuring stop/start technology to reduce fuel consumption especially in the increasing number of long traffic jams we are seeing.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class 4Matic 2017. The Mercedes 4Matic permanent all-wheel-drive is standard and one of the best in the world. You expect an E-Class to have an impressive, top calibre interior, and it does, but what stood out to me was the instrument cluster and infotainment/performance screens which are seven inches and 12.3 inches wide for almost 20 inches total
information presentation across the dash with the 12.3-incher able to offer data in Classic, Sport and Progressive modes. Depending on model, there are 15 different choices of seating materials and 10 trims. And for those who want the interior to be more than just seats and dials, the LED ambient lighting system has 64 selectable hues. There is the Air Balance package with a choice of four interior fragrances and air quality that can be improved with oxygen ionization and filtering of incoming or re-circulated air. Or, if you want a little tenderness, you can use the touchpad to dial in a massage of varying intensity and that includes the driver’s seat, which my co-driver had on constantly because of a bad lower back. But getting back to semi-autonomous driving, as you are reading this I will be driving the new E-Class Wagon and will try it again to see if I can do a better job of it. I’ve always said the ideal car to drive across our country is an E-Class, so just imagine doing it semi-autonomously. Now wouldn’t that be a story?

Macan affordable Porsche By Jim Robinson KITCHENER, ON — The 2017 Porsche Macan is on the cusp of a fast-developing trend in the auto industry. The market is seeing traditional high-end carmakers moving down market for increased volume, while perennial economy manufacturers are moving upmarket for a bigger piece of the increasing demand for style and content. For example, Mercedes-Benz is covering the compact sedan/CUV
segments with the CLA and GLA, while Infiniti has just launched the compact luxury QX30. Meanwhile Kia and Hyundai have introduced the K900 and Genesis G90 respectively, with Kia hedging its bets with the entry-level luxury sedan segment with the 2017 Cadenza. When Porsche first announced it would build the compact Macan CUV, many were caught off guard believing it was not wise to stray from the image it has carved out for itself and dilute the brand as one of the
top premium auto builders in the world. Well, the sales numbers are in and Porsche hit the sweet spot in the compact luxury CUV segment with the Macan. More to the point, it is adding a fourth model - the four-cylinder Macan at a starting price of $52,700 joining the Macan S at $59,200, the Macan GTS at $73,100 and the formidable Macan Turbo at $85,800. That makes it the most affordable Porsche you can buy and it is not a “stripper”.

It has a long list of standard features including ParkAssist with rear camera, heated steering wheel, 18inch alloy wheels, heated front seats, lane departure warning, three-zone climate control, garage door opener, rear side airbags, heated and retractable outside mirrors and Alcantra leather seats. But being a Porsche, the list of options is long, such as 21-inch wheels, Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, adaptive sports seats, sport exhaust and the highly recommended (by me) air suspension. Porsche Canada expects the average buyer to add $15$20,000 in options. The major difference between the base Macan and its siblings is the Audi-sourced 2.0-litre twin turbo, direct injection inline four-cylinder engine with 252 hp and 273 lb/ft of torque, which outdoes its main rivals like the BMW X3/X4 2.8i, Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 and Range Rover Discovery Sport. Fuel consumption with the standard seven-speed, dual clutch transmission is rated at 11.6/9.3/10.6L/100 km city/highway/combined. Also the Macan I drove at the Canadian press
introduction in Kitchener included Porsche Intelligent Performance (no charge option), Active All-WheelDrive (no charge option) and the optional, but musthave, Sport Chrono Package ($1,480). The latter adds a trendy stopwatch on the upper middle of the instrument panel with an analogue and a digital display for the driver. But what it really does is quicken the Macan’s pace. In standard form, the Macan does 0-100 km/h in 6.7 seconds. Sport Chrono lowers that to 6.5 seconds. The Macan is what I consider the “right size” for a compact CUV. Increasingly, I’ve driven allegedly compact vehicles that are almost too big to fit into my garage. Entry has the front seats near hip height, which is good while the second row seat is also easy to access, which is not always the case with some of the Macan’s competitors. The instrument panel is classic Porsche with the ignition switch to the left of the steering wheel and three main gauges, the largest of which is the tach just

Mercedes shows its Vision for future commercial market By Jim Robinson STUTTGART, Germany — Mercedes-Benz has unveiled its Vision Van seen as the future as the brand moves from being a commercial vehicle maker to a global mobility provider. The all-electric Vision Van was part of a strategic initiative that will see Mercedes-Benz invest 500 million Euros in robotics, automation and digitalization to make its commercial vans into interconnected data centres on wheels. Mercedes-Benz believes that by 2030 two-thirds, of the world’s population will live in urban centres where the need to supply goods and services even faster and more efficiently will be required. The harbinger of that new generation of commercial vehicles was the Vision Van shown Sept. 7 as part of the Van Innovation Campus staged in Stuttgart, home of Mercedes-Benz. The Vision Van is all electric with a range of 270 km and
is the first commercial van to be fully interconnected to the people and automated distribution centres. And it is the first van with a fully automated cargo loading/unloading robot system plus two drones on the roof. The drones make it possible to deliver a parcel weighing up to two kilograms anywhere even if the recipient is not at home. Not only is it faster and more efficient than driving from one location for a drop off to the next, but also it makes it possible to deliver more goods in a working day. The Vision Van is equipped with a 75 kW electric drive with the batteries below the floor to free up cargo room. One of the bonuses is the Vision Van runs emission free and almost silently so it can operate in cities facing increasing traffic restrictions or at night without disturbing those who are sleeping.

as Dr. Porsche intended. The drive route was lamentably short because Porsche had only three cars and they had a lot of people eager to drive it. Ergo it went from the Kitchener area over to Caledonia and back, which only allowed for a brief time to come to grips with the car. Running the standard steel spring suspension, the Macan was easy to steer and point with excellent “feel” coming through the steering wheel to the fingertips. What I missed was the navi system which is a $1,980 option, as we got hopelessly lost in southern Cambridge looking for some
place called Seneca Park which none of the good citizens we asked had ever heard of. With a $2.29 laminated Ontario map, we found it the old fashioned way and hooked up with the others just in time to head back to Kitchener. One thing I did learn was the 2.0-litre engine had more than enough power to pass the cement trucks on the predominately two-lane country roads. Driving impressions are few, but I have no doubt Porsche will have their dealerships hard at work trying to meet demand. The entry level Macan CUV comes at a time when the brand is ready to move further into the main stream.

We’ve made changes to serve you better Starting this Sunday, Autoplan brokers throughout the province will begin using ICBC’s new insurance sales system. This is the single biggest renewal in ICBC’s history, replacing technology that’s more than 30 years old. The new system will help Autoplan brokers to better serve customers and will allow for easier implementation of products and services. For customers, the way you purchase your Autoplan insurance will remain the same. However, as with any complex project of this size, it will take time for Autoplan brokers and ICBC staff to become comfortable with the new system. We want to let you know about this shift as some customers may experience delays during the transition. Over the next month we’re encouraging customers to visit their Autoplan broker a few days before their policy expires, and to allow for extra time in broker offices. ICBC and Autoplan brokers have spent years working together to build and test this new system, including extensive training and a five week “soft launch” that started August 7th. After more than 100,000 successful transactions, we’re now ready for a full launch. For more than 40 years ICBC and the Autoplan brokers of British Columbia have been partnering to provide customers with consistently high levels of service and support. Thank you in advance for your patience as we complete this upgrade to enable us to continue that commitment to you.

This is known as the gutbrain axis. It is a back and forth feedback system and one directly influences the other. So, what affects this thing we call gut flora? Mostly diet, age, antibiotic treatment and stress. Many studies have demonstrated that aberrant or, insufficient gut bacteria is reported in a large percentage of those individuals presenting with depression or anxiety disorders. Further studies illustrate the reversal of these maladies with restoration of normal gut flora. So, what do we do? The word probiotic is a word most of us have heard.

The common western world approach to depression and anxiety disorders is to influence the levels of GABA and serotonin neurotransmitters. Guess what else directly affects those levels in both a positive and negative way. Gut bacteria. Benton et al. in The European Journal of Clinical Nutrition demonstrated this in human subjects. They were neither the first nor the last to do so. Messauodi et al. did as well in The Journal of Gut Nutrition. This column has been speckled with words that are commonly offensive, like bacteria, anus, gut, intestine — all things that are ‘eeeew’. But believe me, there is sound evidence that this is a very important teeter totter we ride with respect to the interface between health, immunity, mental wellness and balance.

Dr. R. Sherman Weaver November 7, 1935 – August 31, 2016 Sherman Weaver passed away on August 31, 2105 at Kelowna Hospice House leaving behind his beloved wife Nancy in Kelowna, his daughter Melanie (Chris) in Nottingham, England and his son Christopher and grandson Alan in Richmond, Virginia and Nancy’s sons; Tony (Cindy) Van Nice in Abbotsford and Tyler (Kaylee) Van Nice in Kelowna and grandchildren Brooklyn, Tony Jr., Caitlyn and Cody Van Nice. He leaves his sisters; Boots (Gabe) Lewis and Dawnie Chedore in Saint John, NB and Sally Weaver in Burlington, and brother, Butch Weaver in Gander, NFLD, as well as many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his first wife of 50 years, Margaret, in 2008. Sherman was born in Doaktown, New Brunswick and grew up there. With help from various scholarships, he attended the University of New Brunswick where he earned a B.Sc. (Honours), and then McGill University where he received a M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics. Sherman worked for the federal Defence Research Board for the next 15 years, initially in Toronto and later in Suffield, Alberta. Much of his research was devoted to biomedical effects of extreme environments on the human body. A crowning achievement in Suffield was the destruction of 440 tons of DDT/kerosene mixture and 400 tons of the chemical warfare agent mustard. In 1973 Sherman joined Alberta Department of Environment in Edmonton. The Alberta Government had announced its intention to found a major provincial environmental research and testing laboratory in Vegreville, Alberta, and Sherman’s job was to design, equip, staff and operate this new facility. The Alberta Environmental Centre had its official opening in 1981, and Sherman spent the following 12 years directing the Centre. When he retired in 1992 some 350 staff were employed at the new Centre. After retirement Sherman relocated to Kelowna, where his retirement years were spent volunteering, teaching and playing bridge, and enjoying life. The family would like to thank Drs. Klammer, Pavan, Banwell and Files, as well as the amazing staff and volunteers at the Kelowna Hospice House who were all so compassionate and kind to Sherman during the past months. A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, September 11, 2016 at First Memorial Funeral Services located at 1211 Sutherland Avenue at 2:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society at 102-1433 St. Paul Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 2E4 or Central Okanagan Hospice Association at 1041456 St. Paul Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 2E6.

JOHN BARTL
May13, 1928 - September 1, 2016 John Bartl passed away peacefully on Sept. 1, 2016 at his home @ Lake Bonavista Retirement Village in Calgary. A kind, fun-loving man always ready with a joke.

In Loving Memory June Doreen Babchuk June 23, 1926 – September 1, 2016
June passed peacefully surrounded by family after a brief stay at Kelowna General Hospital. June was born in Ladysmith and spent 85 of her 90 years residing in Ladysmith, where she raised her four children. For the past 5 years she has lived in Kelowna at Mission Villas, then Mountainview Assisted Living. June was a dedicated employee of Ladysmith General Hospital for many years and an active and loyal member of the Native Daughters. June will be greatly missed by her four children, two grandchildren and four great grandchildren. Many thanks to Mission Villas, Mountainview Assisted Living and Kelowna General Hospital Emergency staff and particularly the nursing, medical and housekeeping staff on 5B. There will be no public service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Kelowna SPCA.
