Zombie zeitgeis t Zombies have lurched out of grainy retro films into the zeitgeist of popular culture and, despite apparent signs of decay, they don’t look ready to amble on anytime soon.

They’ve spurred popular television shows, movies and zombie walks in cities across the globe. Even the provincial government displayed some zombie zeal in recent months, crafting an emergency preparedness program around the soulless among us.

But what is it about the decaying that’s caught the eye of the living?

In the aftermath of Kelowna’s zombie walk, and in the lead up to Halloween and the Day Of The Dead reporter Kathy Michaels spoke to a couple of zombiephiles who know a thing or two about what it is to be caught up with the hottest thing since vampires.

Taking the pulse of the un-dead Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

S

ome people don’t wait until Oct. 31 to immerse themselves in the macabre.

Kelowna’s Gen Duchesne, for example, has adopted the grim, brain-slurping persona the Zombie Queen on Facebook and Twitter, and from there she disseminates zombie news 365 days a year.

“I live, breathe, sleep zombies,” she said.

“I have loved zombies since I was a little girl …I have seen hundreds of zombie movies and read many books, I guess you could call me a zombie expert.”

In turn, she’s become pretty well-known in the “zombie world.”

“I now have 2,223 followers on Twitter including the producer of the AMC TV show the Walking Dead Glen Mazzara,” she said, adding one of the show’s lead actors, Norman Reedus, is also among her fans.

With her finger on the flat-pulse of zombie culture, it’s clear that Duchesne was the right woman to lead the local zombie movement— and, yes, there is one. It just happens to get more people out than an aver-

age political rally.

She organized the first Kelowna zombie walk in April 2011. Since then, there have been three more, amounting to an average of twice a year.

“Over time they have grown to be bigger— more people find out about it and come and join in on the fun,” she said.

Dozens upon dozens of locals go out for the festivities that usually include walking downtown in a state of un-dead, then maybe going for a beverage afterward.

The whole affair likely lasts a quarter of the time needed to prepare, but there’s something about zombies that seems to warrant the investment of time and money.

“Why am I so fascinated by them? I don’t quite know. But I do know that if a zombie apocalypse were to happen I am ready. I know everything there is to know about zombies,” she said.

Duchesne may not know what caught her attention initially, but she has some theories on why zombies have risen to such great heights in popular culture.

“The appeal of zombies is that it plays on everyone’s fear of death,”

And, they’re a death dealing type of monster that seem a lot less mythological than, say, vampires and werewolves.

“These monsters are real people and not external supernatural beings,” she said.

“Your neighbours, your co-workers and fellow citizens that you see around you everyday…that’s what’s scary about it.”

And that plays in to the never-ending loop of end-of-days theories.

When those dire prognostications come to the fore, they rarely have anything to do with wacky fictional characters.

They’re plain, old woman against woman tales, which is right up a zombie lover’s alley.

“It’s about going back

to our primal instinct—it doesn’t matter if you were rich or poor, if you were popular or not, it’s just all about surviving. Nothing else matters,” she said.

“Survival of the fittest.”

academic work has been put into exploring zombie related theories, thanks to Kelly Doyle, an interdisciplinary graduate student in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at UBC Okanagan.

She’s been studying zombies and their political, social, and cultural relevance since 2006, and has found that zombie movies are a reflection of the times, highlighting political and cultural anxieties.

It just so happens that the over-arching concern of modern times, as Duchesne alluded to, has an existential bent.

Historically, however, that wasn’t the case.

Your friendly neighbourhood un-dead were first were found in Haitian and African folklore, and used to explain hierarchal conditions within those

societies.

In the 1960s, zombie films rose to popularity and the storylines acted as a metaphor for prevailing political themes.

Night of the Living Dead, for example, offered a view of the race issues that dominated the time.

“They have one African American character, he’s the hero and the only one who can survive,” Doyle said. “Then the police see him and shoot him on sight, and it’s unclear whether it’s because they think he’s a zombie or because he’s not white….There’s more going on there than the zombie being a fictional monster. The movie is about very real problems in society.”

Then, for a time, the See Pulse A4

Dressing the part of the living dead is likely one of the easiest options for Halloween.

Sartorially, find an outfit you’re not too attached to and make it grotty.

Or go with a theme— think bank zombie, Capital News zombie or maybe binder full of women zombie, if pop culture is important.

Then look for makeup. One of the four costume shops around Kelowna will have an abundance of supplies that will fade vibrant living tones.

They should also have things like liquid latex, cotton wool balls, fake blood, white powder or baby powder, brushes and sponges.

Apply liquid latex over clean skin to create the effect of peeling skin and wound, then, once it’s dried peel the edges.

Then put on a consistent base tone with sponges. Using the green or grey will provide a ghoulish touch.

Go a tone darker and do shadows around the eyes. Next up, fake blood. Apply liberally.

Lastly, create some highlights with white powder.

If you’re looking for something more complex, there are plenty of sites on the Internet that can give you great instructions.

Crisis sparks zombie resurgence Pulse from A3 zombie genre went silent, relegated into the collections of kitsch fans.

There may never have been a resurgence had it not been for a global crisis of faith, sparked by 9/11.

“When 9/11 happened, people started to question what it means

to be human and what it means to label someone else an outsider,” Doyle said.

Films that followed —like 28 Days Later and the TV series Walking Dead—also sussed out society’s fears around pandemic and contamination, mirroring news stories that dealt with Mad

Cow disease, HIV, and Anthrax.

“Zombie films are always working with the idea of progressing,” she said.

“They look at medical research, capitalism, money being invested and how far you can push the limits…and with all of those films, it ends in

Those boundary pushing zombies were also a departure from their Haitian and African ancestors, in that they have no spiritual hang-ups.

They are purely secular monsters, highlighting the downfalls of humanity’s attempt to strive ahead.

“They’re too human—they can decay, they have no special powers, or reasoning skills or goals,” she said.

“They’re Freud’s id. They’re not afraid of death…they’re mindless.”

Basically, they’re the antitheses of all the qualities society praises and a sneak peak of its fears about the direction we’re all going.

where zombie-fans like Duchesne see the appeal.

And that, said Doyle, could mark another transition.

“Zombies are gaining ground. When I started working on this in 2006 there weren’t that many examples, now they’re ubiquitous in our culture,” she said.

And things like zombie walks, which happened most recently last week, show that there may be a bit of humanity around the fringes of a pessimistic obsession.

“There’s something freeing about getting rid of taboos and being part of a group of zombies in a zombie walk,” said Doyle.

“They’re taking part in something bigger.”

So, next time you see the un-dead animated around the city, don’t judge the wheezing meat bag on its cover.

City’s environment-friendly champions recognized through awards program Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

A case of beer, some ingenuity and a lot of hard work have netted a Kelow-

na businessman a top city environmental achievement award.

John Anderson, whose local Bean Scene coffee shop chain includes its

own roastery, says he did a lot of research before coming up with a way to reduce the smoke created by the coffee roasting process.

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

KLO MIDDLE SCHOOL students accept their award as the Most Environment Friendly School from Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray.

But while other companies have spent thousands to make their businesses more environmentally friendly, Anderson had another idea.

In the end, the most crucial component of his “wet scrubbing” technique for reducing smoke—a refurbished former fuel tank—cost him just a case of beer.

“I got it off a friend of mine,” said Anderson, who was rewarded Wednesday for his ingenuity with the Mayor’s Environmental Achievement Award for the most innovative business initiative.

The wet scrubbing technique uses water to spray the smoke created by the roasting, and that reduces the particulate that would ordinarily be released into the atmosphere.

JOHN ANDERSON, owner of the Bean Scene, explains how his ingenious smoke filter made of recycled materials works by using water to dilute smoke cast off the cooked coffee beans leaving a nitrate-filled liquid which is then used to feed plants. For his efforts, Anderson was named winner of the Environmental Achievement Award.

Anderson said he got the idea from the mining industry, which developed the technology many years ago to deal with dust.

“I crossed my fingers and hoped like hell it would work,” said Anderson of his decision to use it for coffee roasting smoke.

But Anderson also took the process a step farther. His system also collects the used water, now enriched with nutrients from particulate it helps collect, and it is used to water plants outside his coffee shops.

As a result of the scrubbing process and the reuse of the water, as well as other measures such as the use of CFL light bulbs at the company’s four coffee shops, turning off gas pilot lights every night, the use of eco-friendly packaging, reusable plastic bins for coffee instead of bags and encouraging customers to use reusable cups, the business has cut its costs dramatically and reduced its environmental impact.

Anderson said he started looking at how he ran his business after his children were born and decided he wanted to do more to reduce his business’s environmental impact.

In addition to Anderson, the city also recognized several other local environmentalists, including double award winner Curtis Stone.

Stone, well-known locally for promoting the urban farming movement, was named a joint winner of the most dedicated individual award, along with former city councillor Angela Reid-Nagy, who operates several environmentally focused businesses.

He was also named the most environmentally friendly commuter because he does not own a car and rides his bicycle everywhere, including when making deliveries of his farm produce.

Stone said while it was nice to be recognized, that was not his aim.

“At first I just wanted to make a living,” he said,

adding while there are challenges involved with going green, they are not insurmountable and even a small change in lifestyle by everyone would be a “win-win.”

He encouraged others to follow suit saying while initial steps have been made, “we still have a lot farther to go.”

The award for the most environmentally friendly school once again went to KLO Middle School, whose ECO Club has spearheaded several initiatives aimed at making the school a greener place to learn.

In addition to its recycling program—which includes battery recycling— KLO Middle has a composting program, uses rain barrels, has a school garden and has adopted nearby Fascieux Creek as part of the Adopt-A-Stream program. There students have installed two fencedoff areas to help protect endangered Western painted turtles that nest in the area.

The award for the most sustainable development went to Grace Pontes of Architecturally Distinct Solutions for a house her company built that uses a special roof featuring a reflective coating that helps reduce the interior temperature.

The most dedicated group award went to Oknagan Greens, which organizes the annual Organic Festival in Kelowna, as well as Green Drinks, the city’s only sustainability networking event.

Mayor Walter Gray said he was impressed by the number of award nominees this year in all the categories. “There are so many champions for the environment in Kelowna working to maintain the natural beauty of this great city. Our residents really care about the environment,” he said.

After 25 years of committed work, Rotary International is on the brink of eradicating polio.

Not since chicken pox was brought under control through world-wide vaccination has a similar public health achievement been realized.

For John Hewko, the general secretary and chief executive officer of Rotary International, that achievement would not only be a huge accomplishment, but it opens the door to take on other health scurges such as maleria, tuberculosis, HIV AIDS. What started as a campaign in 125 countries to eliminate polio through vaccination has now dwindled down to three—northern Nigeria, Pakistan and Afghanistan.

“Not only would ending polio be an extraordinary accomplishment that kids no longer will suffer from it, but it also will then free up money for other public health campaigns,” Hewko said.

“I think we could be done within the next three to four years and declare victory.

“And we will have created a delivery mechanism through the polio vaccination program, an infrastructure for the next global

initiative.”

Hewko was in Kelowna on Tuesday and Wednesday this week to meet with local Rotarians and as the guest speaker for a presentation held at the Kelowna Community Theatre.

Hewko took over his responsibilities with Rotary International in January of last year, emerging from a field of 440 candidates for Rotary’s top job.

From the service club’s headquarters in Evanston, Illinois, Hewko oversees more than 33,000 Rotary Clubs in over 200 countries, adding up to a combined membership of 1.2 million men and women.

The Rotary Foundation annually distributes more than $180 million to fund a variety of educational programs and humanitarian projects around the world.

Hewko said he’s been impressed with to see nine individual Rotary Clubs in a community the size of Kelowna.

“The largest club has more than 100 members so overall that’s pretty good,” he said of the Rotary influence in Kelowna’s charitable landscape.

“Obviously, we are always looking for new members. We want to continue to grow and to encourage anyone with an joint interest in commerce and cause to

look at Rotary.

“But I’m very impressed with the quality of Rotarians, their passion here and the kind of work they do.”

Hewko cited his introduction to such projects as Rotary Beach, Rotary marsh, Rotary Centre for the Arts and the cancer treatment centre as impressive projects that local Rotarians have engaged in to support.

Hewko said Rotary offers an exciting parallel for members, both to get involved in local community projects and to support initiatives with a global perspective.

“You have the opportunity to network with like-minded leaders in your community, that is one intersection, and then another is the ability to do tremendous service work at both a local and global level.”

The challenge of fundraising is relentless, he admits, as the polio vaccination campaign alone has been a $1.2 billion effort for Rotary.

It’s always a challenge to maintain charity support levels because of other charities seeking public fiscal support for their own projects.

Complicating matters further this year in the U.S. has been presidential campaign politics having a potential impact for Ro-

tary, on both a local and global scale.

Hewko acknowledges that while Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney has not committed to eliminating the charitable donation tax loophole as part of his effort to control the ballooning U.S. deficit, many economists think that will have to happen to balance out Romney’s proposed tax breaks, an end result that Hewko says Rotary and other charitable organizations don’t want to see go ahead.

“I think that would hurt all charities in the U.S. if that were to happen. It wouldn’t be good,” Hewko acknowledged.

As well, he says pressure to cut back foreign aid spending to other countries could also be detrimental to Rotary’s various global initiatives.

“I think the perception is foreign aid is a huge part of the U.S. government budget, but the reality is its a very small amount,” said Hewko, noting the U.S. has been a big supporter of the polio campaign to date.

“That would be a shame to see that happen. We are not in favour of eliminating the charitable tax deduction or cutting foreign assistance.” bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

Local couple earn ‘new and notable’ praise for their book

was clearly influenced by the toilet humour favoured by young boys everywhere, and popularized by the “Captain Underpants” book series, Kent is quick to point out the book is much more than a collection of jokes about bodily functions.

“Our boys love a good adventure and it was important to us to create a story that would resonate with them on multiple levels,” he said.

“This book is a classic tale of adventure, with a hero who goes on a quest and must overcome an evil enemy and a series of obstacles and challenges along the way.”

The new e-book was recently featured on the Canadian Apple iBookstore “New and Notable” list in the Children & Teen category.

Business supports Westbank, where’s city hall?

To the editor: Twenty-five years from now, as some local visionaries predict, Westbank town Centre will be a thriving, unique, walkable, transit-oriented and highly attractive urban place. (Close-up: Constructing Westbank’s Heart, Oct. 12 Capital News) A few investors are buying into that vision. Two developments are currently being constructed on Brown Road for approximately $100 million.

Jamie Cooper, one of the developers, is committed to this vision. He is responsible for the $70 million Gateway Urban Village project.

Adjacent to Cooper’s development is the Heritage, a 145-unit, assisted living facil-j ity, currently under construction.

Next to the Heritage, Investicare Seniors Housing Corporation is planning a state of the art medical services campus that could begin construction as early as the summer of 2013.

Mega-quarry pits farmland against industry

A

billion tonnes of limestone lie beneath the rural countryside in Melancthon Township, 100 kilometres north of Toronto. A plan to remove it spotlights the challenges faced everywhere when the desire to protect valuable and ever-diminishing farmland clashes with efforts to push industrial development.

The Highland Companies, backed by a $25-billion Boston hedge fund, hopes to blast a big hole in this fertile land to get at a deposit of 400-million-year-old sedimentary rock. The pit would cover more than 930 hectares and be almost 20 storeys deep— the second-largest quarry operation in North America, and the largest in Canadian history.

According to the company’s proposal, moving this much rock will require 20,000 kilograms of explosives a day for the next few decades, and hundreds David of trucks and heavy maSuzuki chines. The proposed quarry would be 60 metres below the water table—vertically deeper than 50-metrehigh Niagara Falls, and twice as wide.

For generations, local farmers have benefitted from the area’s unique, 10,000-year-old soil, called Honeywood silt loam. This Class 1 agricultural soil—the rarest in Canada—is not too sticky or sandy, holds moisture, drains well and is free of rocks. It’s perfect for potatoes. Area farms now harvest more than 450,000 kilograms of spuds each year, including about half

SCIENCE MATTERS

the fresh potatoes consumed in the Greater Toronto Area.

If the company only intended to remove the limestone and then allow the pit to fill with water, it would be similar to quarries across Canada, including more than 2,000 in Ontario. However, the Highland plan is far more ambitious. Beyond clearing the land and digging under the water table, the company wants to set aside the prized agricultural soil and then put it back at the bottom of the pit once the rock is removed. That way, farming can continue sometime in the future. Problem solved.

But cultivating crops at the bottom of a pit 60 metres below the water table is not easy. It would require about 600-million litres of water to be pumped out every day, 24 hours a day, seven days a week—forever.

The company claims its propos-

al to recover agricultural opportunities is proof of noble intent and sustainable ambitions. Critics argue the plan is unrealistic. Forever is a long commitment, especially for a company backed by a j foreign hedge fund.

The prospect of this engineered waterfall in reverse is particularly troubling, as Melancthon is at the headwaters of five major rivers—watersheds whose groundwater provides drinking water for up to one million Ontarians living downstream.

Fortunately, the movement to stop the quarry has grown from gatherings in church basements to a broad community of support spanning small, well-organized local groups like the North Dufferin Agricultural and Community Taskforce to respected national organizations like the Council of Can-

Where can we find a little real food these days?

To the editor: Who to trust? That is the question. Everyone is more conscious of their food choices now, after seeing Food Inc. and other documentaries like the Future of Food, etc. Everyone wants to know how to eat safely especially after the recent tainted meat recalls. Is largescale agriculture serving us ‘good’ food?

I respond to Henry Tam (Capital News Oct. 11 letter to the editor: Organic Food Criticism Needs Scientific Backing) who asks really good questions: “Have I been eating the wrong stuff?” He says: “I have the impression that untruthfulness has occurred somewhere between food production to retail sales. Eventually, Canadian consumers are mis-informed and cheated.”

He calls upon me—Heidi Osterman, a certified nutritionist, to answer his questions.

One hundred years ago all food was organic. It was just called food. Then came fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides in food production. Currently genetically modified foodstuffs are also in the supermarkets. We have abundant cheap edible stuff to fill our bellies.

Is it really good? Industrially produced ‘food’ is antibiotic-laced, genetically modified

and sprayed with toxic chemicals. The new generation of food is processed to contain Aspartame, transfats, MSG, food dyes, preservatives and the like. Every one of these items are labeled, with the exception of GM (genetically modified) foods.

We all wonder what we are eating and how it affects us.

Food policy in Canada is set by our federal government and on the issue of genetically modified food Canadian MP Alex Atamanenko recently stated his findings in I’d Rather Eat Bugs, published in the Pencticton Herald Sept. 27: “It should be noted that industry studies which Health Canada (HC) relies upon to base its approvals are regarded as ‘Confidential Business Information’ and HC does not conduct their own safety tests. Health Canada claims they rigorously assess all new information including independent and peer reviewed published studies. However, when I requested the findings of HC reviews on a long list of published research through a House of Commons procedure they did not provide me the results of even one assessment.”

Hmm. An elected Member of Parliament cannot get a straight answer on any safety test-

ing of genetically modified food.

Meanwhile, China’s Xinhua news agency reported at the end of 2011 that organic certificates can easily be bought. They quoted ‘organic’ farmers who acknowledged that they sometimes use fertilizers or pesticides to boost their output. Walmart in China was involved in a scandal when found to be selling ordinary pork as organic pork. These events caught the attention of the Chinese Premier, who called on the organic sector to tighten the rules. The new version of the China National Organic Product Standard and the Rules on Organic Certification came into effect on 1 March, 2012.

My take-home message is to buy as locally as possible.

To learn more about food come to a free public forum Nov. 7, 6 p.m. at Okanagan College on KLO Rd. in Kelowna. I, and a panel, will answer questions and you can learn more about food in general and also about genetically modified food.

Secondary suites discussed in West Kelowna To the editor: There is a public hearing at the West Kelowna council chambers on Oct. 23 at 6 p.m. The intent is to revise the policy on secondary suites in single family subdivisions.

Secondary suites can be a great help to making mortgage payments and I have no objection to that.

They also provide affordable housing.

What is being proposed is the removal of

the owner occupancy condition. This moves it into a for-profit operation with an absentee landlord.

If any of you homeowners have had to deal with rental accommodations where the landlord

lives God knows where, you can appreciate what can happen. If you want to protect your investment and have some say in what happens at city hall, I strongly urge you to attend this hearing and

voice your opinion. This may be your last chance, as this proposal has already passed first and second reading.

‘Scoop’ These Savings!

Governance should come from the centre of district West Kelowna A10 states: “I think both projects fit in well with the redevelopment and brings some very high paying, and some very stable jobs into the centre of Westbank, which contributes to the overall economy of the town centre.”

Very well put, Mr. Reece.

After spending our district tax dollars on the

Westbank Town Centre Revitalization Plan, why is our council looking to the province to provide Crown land for administration buildings, while ignoring the recommendation of the Westbank Town Centre Revitalization Plan?

What kind of message is our council sending to our citizens when the municipal hall is situated in a remote area of our district

and not easily accessible to the general public?

Other Okanagan communities, even the smaller towns like Peachland and Summerland, have their town halls in their economic centres. Westbank is the heart of our economic centre in our district.

In September 2010 council appointed a ninemember Westbank Centre Consultation Committee to assist District of

Public opposition growing for pit from A16 adians.

More than 130,000 people have signed a petition demanding the project be rejected, and at least 5,000 formal complaints have been submitted to the provincial government. Last fall, 28,000 people and dozens of chefs, musicians and artists showed their support by attending Foodstock, a public protest event held at several farms adjacent to the proposed quarry site.

The Ontario government reacted by ordering an environmental assessment—the first ever for a quarry in Ontario.

Despite the consider-

able odds facing citizens trying to stop the megaquarry, the movement to protect the Melancthon region’s prized farmland and precious headwaters continues to grow. Those efforts include Soupstock on Oct. 21, hosted by the Canadian Chefs’ Congress and the David Suzuki Foundation in Toronto’s Woodbine Park. The day-long culinary celebration, with more than 180 of Canada’s top chefs joining local farmers and producers to concoct original soup creations for tens of thousands of foodies and supporters, shows that protest movements can be celebratory and fun.

Feasting together

is an ancient way of affirming group identity and acknowledging that our lives come, literally, from the soil. With valuable farmland and the food it produces facing threats ranging from residential and industrial development to floods and droughts related to climate change, we must take every opportunity to celebrate and protect what we have. I encourage you to explore the farms and fields near your community, and connect with the land that feeds us.

West Kelowna staff in the development of a realistic downtown Westbank Revitalization Plan. The objectives of the revitalization plan included: • To preserve, protect and enhance the Westbank town centre urban and agricultures, cultures and heritage, while creating a place to live work and play • A transparent, inclusive process involving local businesses, residents and the development community.

Three workshops were conducted with the committee and a few of the principle issues that were identified are: • Create a civic and

cultural precinct: new City Hall, library, theatre, community centre, etc. and • Relocate District Hall to Westbank Town Centre.

Our citizens were very excited about the revitalization plan. It is a good plan, and if adhered to, will help bring more people to our downtown that will help support our Westbank Town Centre business owners.

We already have a library, museum, police station and community centre, so why not a City Hall?

Motivational speaker encourages local students to search for their life’s passion Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

One of the questions asked most frequently during the transition from youth to adulthood is: What do you want to do with your life?

Five years ago, Sean Aiken didn’t know how to answer the question.

The Port Moody native was valedictorian of his high school before graduating from Capilano University with a business degree and a 4.0 GPA.

His family suggested job possibilities he should consider, but Aiken wasn’t ready to follow just one path.

So instead, he followed 52.

The result was The One Week Job Project, a journey that allowed Aiken to try out 52 different jobs throughout North America in 52 weeks.

Some of those jobs included being a bungee jump instructor in Victoria, a mascot for the Washington Capitals, a fashion buyer in New York and a cowboy in Wyoming.

His favourite occupations included working as a park ranger in Hawaii and as a pilot for the Air Force. His least favourite job was picking cattails in a swamp outside Montreal for 12 to 14 hours per day.

The whole purpose of the adventure was for Aiken to find his passion.

And he did. Aiken learned he wants to be a teacher because he enjoys speaking in front of groups and working with kids.

The One Week Job Project has been widely covered since 2008 by international media outlets including CNN, the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Time and 20/20.

Aiken donated 100 per cent of his earnings from the project—over $20,000—to the One/ Make Poverty History campaign.

For me, that takes a young person out of their present moment in terms of exploring what they like to do then and what they are good at.� “It almost implies that you have to be something different. For me, it’s not about becoming something or someone else, it’s about discovering who you are.�

Aiken is in the process of visiting eight different secondary and middle schools throughout the Central Okanagan this week to share his message and answer questions. “Coming from a different angle, I find that my story, because it’s a unique story, captures the attention of the students,� said Aiken.

RCMP applauded for solving cold murder investigation Kelowna Mounties who were able to close a high profile cold case were honoured for their work earlier this week.

Const. Rob Cormier, Staff-Sgt. Dean Filipchuck, Const. Maro Kennedy, Sgt. Ian MacPherson and Cpl. Bill Parmar received the Commanding Officer’s Certificate of Appreciation at a ceremony held in Vernon for their work in convicting the killer of Jennifer Cusworth, killed 1993.

“In May 2008, a dedicated team was created to review the history of the investigation, identify areas of further review and develop and implement a new investigational strategy,” said MC Staff-Sgt. Don Smawley prior to the presentation.

“The investigators focused on 20 men who had attended the original party and with the advancement of technology an unknown DNA profile was identified from exhibits originally seized at the time of the murder.

“Investigators now strongly suspected one particular individual, and when officers approached him and requested he provide a DNA sample, he inadvertently disclosed information known only to the police and the person responsible for the murder.”

Further information obtained through covert means resulted in the arrest of the suspect, Neil George Snelson on Oct. 23, 2009, for first degree murder. “The team’s de-

termined investigation skills were instrumental in seeking a framework for a successful conclusion to this investigation,” said Smawley.

“Their dedication to duty lends credit to them as keeping with the highest tradition of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.”

Hormonal Breakouts?

BAD CHEMICALS Don’t eat the brown acid, or the synthetic drugs.

Mounties are issuing a warning after receiving information that may indicate there is an overly potent batch of synthetic drugs in town.

The Kelowna RCMP has learned that there may be a quantity of GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate), crystal meth (methamphetamine) and other synthetic drugs circulating in town right now which appears to be extremely potent, and therefore extremely dangerous.

“There is no such thing as a “bad batch” of synthetic drugs, because there is no good batch.

Every tablet or dose represents a potentially serious health risk whether that be short term or long term,” said Const. Kris Clark.

“Synthetic drugs are produced in facilities with no quality control or sanitation control.

“There is no way to know what you are eating when you swallow a tablet.

“Every person can react differently to the chemicals and there is no

Not Just a Teenage Problem!

So much easier being a girl… Like most people, I too, struggle with acne…One problem I have particularly struggled with has been my jaw line and back…

That’s when EstroSense entered my life and changed it for the better…After the first 3 months, my back and jaw breakouts have diminished significantly.

On top of it, virtually all my PMS symptoms have almost disappeared…it’s so much easier being a girl now.

Beauty Blogger Ellie S.

Hormonal breakouts affect many teenagers today. But teenagers are not the only ones; acne can strike adults too - more than half of all adult women and about a quarter of adult men.

Many women will typically see breakouts during their menstrual cycle due to hormonal fluctuations. Estrogen dominance due to hormone replacement therapy, the birth control pill, xenoestrogens from the environment (BPA, phthalates, parabens) or a sluggish liver can also contribute to hormonal breakouts.

EstroSense is a unique natural formula that helps maintain healthy hormone balance by supporting the liver and in turn, healthy skin.

Healthy Liver = Healthy Skin GUARANTEED TO WORK!

‘‘I recommend EstroSense® to patients in my practice’’

November 11 is about Canadian military valour and sacrifice recognized by the annual Remembrance Day service. Can you help?

Every year, during the last week in October and leading up to Remembrance Day, our veterans humbly call upon our fellow citizens to join with them.

They ask fellow Canadians to join in honouring Canadian military valour and sacrifice by wearing a poppy.

This small gesture of respect means more than you know to those who have served.

To a veteran, it represents the loss of their comrades and the sacrifice to restore dignity and freedoms to those who suffer under military conflict.

To our men and women in uniform of today, it means respect for the significant contributions of Canada’s military in honouring our international responsibilities.

To a family who has lost a loved one, it softens the heartbreak knowing that others revere and pay tribute to a life given serving in the cause of peace.

Year after year, it is gratifying to see how many businesses take a leadership role in supporting our veterans and the annual Poppy Campaign.

Reasons may vary but it all comes down to our shared Canadian beliefs and values in caring for our fellow Canadian—this is just what The Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign does.

We know local business and corporate partners like to help us in our endeavours, and this year we are asking you to join in our campaign of honour and respect.

How can you help?

Help organize a poppy campaign within your organization with the assistance of your local Legion branch.

Promote remembrance and the poppy campaign on your company website.

Make a monetary donation to your local Legion branch Poppy Campaign.

Encourage your employees to volunteer with your local Legion branch, helping out with the Poppy Campaign. Can you match their volunteer time with a paid hour?

Plan a commemorative ceremony in your business foyer with employee participation.

Lay a wreath at your community Remembrance Day ceremony. Contact your local Legion.

Promote the Text-to-Give Campaign Text the word “poppy� to 20222.

In supporting the poppy campaign, corporations and businesses are in a position to set a standard of excellence for others to emanate. They recognize that Canadian prosperity and peaceful co-existence are largely attributable to the selfless sacrifices of generations past.

And in return, all that is asked of us as a citizenry is to wear a poppy and remember. Call your local Legion Branch and ask how you can help.

Ron LeRoy is the Kelowna Royal Canadian Legion branch 26 Poppy Campaign chairman.

Children are often the focus of food marketing campaigns. Companies view children as having significant purchasing power because of their influence on parents and caregivers.

Many of these campaigns influence children’s food preferences, food choices and the products they request and the results are not always healthy.

Children are often targeted in the grocery store through packaging, labelling, pricing and product placement.

Food products use bright colours, characters, shapes, and flavours to grab the attention of children.

Manufacturers pay extra to have their product located at eye level, at the end of aisles and at the cashier in the hopes that their attractively packaged products will be noticed by children.

Many products marketed to children are high in sugar, fat, and salt. With the increasing rates of childhood obesity in Canada the food preferences and choices of children is a growing concern.

Parents can learn to successfully navigate the grocery store and avoid the lure and temptation of less healthy options for children. Here are a couple tips to help encourage healthy food choices in the grocery store.

Look beyond the flashy claims on the product label. Some food packages contain misleading claims about the product.

For instance, a beverage package may use big colourful fonts to draw attention

to its high vitamin and mineral content; however, it may not be as obvious that the beverage also contains lots of sugar because the food manufacturer does not draw attention to this information.

Check the nutrition facts table, especially the per cent daily value and the ingredient list for a more accurate description of what a product actually contains.

Bring two grocery lists to the store– one for yourself and one for your child.

Make sure the lists include healthy choices.

Children can help grocery shop by looking for items on their list. A list will help them stay focused and they will be less distracted by other products in the grocery store.

If children are influenced by labels and placement of less healthy food, divert their attention back to the items still needed on their grocery list.

Make sure your child has eaten something before going to the grocery store with you. If necessary, provide a healthy snack to occupy them while shopping. A hungry shopper, whether a child or adult, is more likely to be tempted by unhealthy foods.

So next time you and the kids head to the grocery store do a little planning, make some lists and don’t forget to think critically about all those flashy claims right before your eyes.

Changing practices for F fall perennial clean-up

orty-five years ago with my first garden in Oyama, I cut everything back after frost.

This almost eliminated spring clean-up but the garden had no winter interest. Now, I leave most plants until spring. This way there is food and cover for the birds.

Also leaving the dead top-growth on perennials gives them some winter protection.

When I plan my gardens, I now factor in winter interest.

Evergreen perennials such as lavender are there all year.

I am enchanted by the magic of hoar frost or snow on the ornamental grasses and the seed

MISCANTHUS, feather reed grass and switch grass (in the foreground) will provide winter enjoyment in columnist’s garden. cut back in spring.

The two main things I want to be sure to do before winter are weeding and collecting seeds.

My gardens are very full, so once the plants have grown up by late June, there is little space for weeds to grow. I have a good layer of mulch everywhere on top of the soil.

This really cuts down on weed growth, as well as holding moisture and feeding my plants during the growing season.

Perennial weeds will grow as long as the ground is not frozen so taking them out now prevents a big task in early spring.

During August I stop dead-heading. This leaves seeds for winter birds and for collection.

Now the seed heads are dry enough to save in paper envelopes or bags.

In winter I’ll clean the chaff from the seeds and package them up for gifts.

If there are plants I want babies of, I often shake the seeds onto bare soil where they will begin growing in spring as soon as conditions are right, taking advantage of spring moisture so

they don’t have to rely so much on me remembering to water.

I generally cut back any plants that are flattened by frost, such as daylilies and hostas.

I no longer grow plants that attract diseases such as mildew, but when I did, I would always clean these away in the fall and put them into the yard waste bin to avoid disease spread.

••• These days I am taking lots of photos of my gardens and making notes of what plants to divide for next years xeriscape plant sale at the unH2O Xeriscape Garden.

I will be doing the last free garden tour of the unH2O Garden (in front of the H2O Aquatic Centre, 4075 Gordon Dr.) on Sunday, Oct. 28, 1 p.m.

We’ll look at what is still blooming and I’ll give more fall clean-up tips.

Tree of Hope charity to benefit Crime Stoppers

Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers Society and Fit4Defense will be the recipient charities for The Landmark Tree of Hope 2012 campaign funding.

This partnership has joined forces to shine a light on crime fighting and the prevention of bullying, intimidation, and threats of violence towards our youth in Kelowna.

David Demeyere, president of the Central Okanagan Crime Stoppers Society, said: “We are very excited to receive a grant from the Tree of Hope Charity and their sponsors. Working together with Fit4Defense, we believe that this partnership will most certainly impact the lives of many of our youth, plus reduce crime within our city.”

This year, Crime Soppers celebrates its 25th anniversary. It has received over 19,000 tips which have resulted in 2,350 arrests, and over $80 million in recovered drugs/stolen property.

SPORTS Still a chance for Sun to salvage 2012 season Warren Henderson

Monday.

Under Lake, the Sun went 3-7, including 1-4 at home. Based on their regular season, it’s no surprise the Sun are considered heavy underdogs this weekend against the Raiders.

Still, perhaps Okanagan’s two best games came at Caledonia Park— a 30-29 loss on Aug. 18 and a 32-30 defeat on Sept. 29. Only missed field goals on each occasion prevented Okanagan from winning both games Fifth-year receiver Ben White fully expects his Sun teammates to put up another formidable fight on Saturday.

“We’ve basically put everything in the past, what’s happened is forgotten and we’re all just focusing on one game right now,” said White, 22, who caught 17 passes for 323 yards and four touchdowns this season. “We definitely feel like we can play with them and we need to have that mindset.

We keep reminding everyone not to think of the year, but the fact we have to be confident and go in there and play hard.”

White, one of seven Sun players who will be moving on at season’s end said, despite taking their lumps this season, a sense of pride remains in the club’s locker room.

STAFF REPORTER

For all that’s gone awry this season, time has yet to officially expire on the Okanagan Sun. Win or lose in the B.C. Football Conference semifinal this weekend in Nanaimo, Sun GM Jay Christensen said the club still has an opportunity to write a positive conclusion to an otherwise bleak and disappointing campaign.

“I just want to see them go out there have fun, play hard, and play with some enthusiasm and energy,” said Christensen. “The season itself, no one was happy about it, the record was what it was.

“But that’s the beauty of playoffs. You really do get to start from scratch.

Football is supposed to be fun and we didn’t see a lot of that the last few games.

Of course we want to win, but as much as anything I want to see the guys play well.”

Team president Paul Carson will lead the Sun into battle Saturday against the Vancouver Island Raiders, their longtime rivals and six-time BCFC champs.

Carson has taken over the coaching duties on an interim basis after the club dismissed first-year head coach Gavin Lake on

Boxing bouts for ‘Boom Boom’ Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

FRED SCHAAD/CONTRIBUTOR

OKANAGAN SUN veteran Ben White (right) hopes his BCFC career will extend beyond this weekend’s semifinal playoff game in Nanaimo against Tremaine Apperley and the Vancouver Island Raiders.

“Either way, we want to show we’re a competitive team, we’re a top team and we’re not just going to roll over,” White added. “We’ve had a good week at practice and we’re going to try and enjoy this time as much as we can.”

Along with White, Bobby Davis, Ben White, Curtis DeMelo, Sean Mason, Blake Butler, Steven Shott and Sheldon MacDonald will all gradu-

ate from the Sun program and, to a man, all would like to extend their junior careers by another few weeks.

From the Raiders’ perspective, head coach Matt Blokker expects the Sun to be emotionally-charged and ready to play football.

“I think their organization made a decision to have something for the team to rally around,” Blokker told the Nanaimo

News Bulletin. “They’re going to be full of emotion and they’re going to be excited and feel it’s a new year, it’s a whole new thing and the guy that did all the wrong was their head coach and now he’s gone.”

The Raiders and Sun will kick off the BCFC semi-final Saturday at 1 p.m. at Caledonia Park.

When it was announced that a new documentary film about the tragic life of boxer Ray ’Boom Boom’ Mancini was going to premier in West Kelowna, the Kelowna Boxing Club decided they wanted to be a part of it.

The club will host a boxing card next Friday night, hosting six bouts at the Sunplex in Kelowna at a showcase event that Mancini will attend, one night before the film that chronicles his life opens.

“This is going to be a spectacular weekend for boxing in Kelowna,” said Kelowna Boxing Club coach Dave Habib. “Being able to have Ray Mancini here...there is nothing better. He was the biggest thing in boxing until his life changed forever.”

The film will chronicle the struggles of Mancini after a South Korean boxer he was fighting fell into a coma and later died. (Capital News, Oct. 18). Local fight fans will get the chance to meet the former world champion a night before the movie premier next Friday night

And Boom Boom will get to watch six bouts featuring several young Kelowna and B.C. boxers who are on the upswing in boxing. The match-ups have yet to be set but there will be plenty of boxing talent on display.

The main event will feature Prince George fighter Kenny Lally, a Canadian champion in the flyweight division who has 95 fights under his belt.

Locally, 16-year-old A.J. Boparai will have the 18th amateur fight of his career as he continues to amaze with skills in the sweet science that have him headed for success.

“A.J. is absolutely the most amazing and talented 16-year-old fighter out there,” said Habib. “I’m amazed at his technical skills. The kid is unbelievable. He is word class no question.”

Former UBCO basketball standout Kim Whelpton will enter the ring for her first amateur bout and Habib says her opponent had better be ready.

X-country runners get NCAA experience Members of the the UBC Okanagan Heat cross country team tested themselves against some top competition last weekend in Seattle at the NCAA Div. 1 Emerald City Open.

“This was a great opportunity for our teams to race against some tougher competition,” said Heat coach Nikki Reiter. “In order to be successful at nationals, our athletes need to raise the bar and learn to compete.”

On the six-kilometre course, the Heat women placed fourth out of six teams, and were led by rookie standout Michelle Blackburne (25th; 24:33).

Other scorers includ-

ed Shayla Millan (37th; 25:30), rookie Alea Stockton (38th; 25:33), Kelsey Robson (41st; 25:52) and Ashley Yip (42nd; 25:54). Rounding out the squad and securing the fourth-place team finish was Trisha Metro (47th; 26:16) who bettered the sixth place finisher on the fifth place team, the Seattle Running Club.

“Seattle was tough, the competition and terrain was the hardest we’ve faced so far this season but it provided us a great opportunity to learn how far we need to push ourselves this year,” said Ashley Yip about the race. “We benefited from the challenge.”

The women will get in two more weeks of tough training before participating in the B.C. Athletics Championships on Oct. 27 in Abbotsford.

An abbreviated UBC Okanagan squad was run on the men’s side in the Emerald City eight kilometre race.

Garrett Anstett (54th; 29:41) led the Heat, followed by Carlos Capela (56th; 29:43), Layne Richardson (57th; 29:58) and Jared Kesteven (61st; 30:42).

“We faced some tough competition and a tough course, but performed well individually in our own respect,” explains Anstett, the team’s top performer

on the day. “I’m looking forward to racing in Canada and gauging our times against our CCAA competition.”

Anstett points out that the top runners in this race were probably in “the top 25 of the NCAA.” Currently in the CCAA (Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association) both the men’s and women’s Heat teams are nationally ranked, the men are No. 10 and the women No. 3.

The 2012 CCAA Cross Country Running National Championships will be hosted by Champlain College-St. Lambert in St. Lambert, Que. on Saturday, Nov. 10.

SATURDAY OCTOBER 20 7:05PM TH

Dodd P’WEST PoW With just two weekends of play left in the tightly contested PACWEST women’s soccer division, the battle for placement has begun.

With an opportunity to stay on pace with Thompson Rivers University and Langara, the UBC Okanagan Heat were in need of a big performance from the team and from individuals.

And second year Heat forward Kirsten Dodds was an absolute terror for the opposition last weekend in two crucial UBC Okanagan matches, as she led the Heat to a pair of wins and helped secure the team a spot in the provincial championships.

This week she was named the PACWEST Athlete of the Week after two great games last weekend.

On Saturday versus the then second place Langara Falcons, with the Heat sitting in third place, the team was looking for a win to firmly entrench themselves in the top four spots. The game was a battle from start to finish but UBC Okanagan was unable to score for much of the game. The Heat finally scored in the 65th minute to take a 1-0 lead.

It was late in the second half when Dodds’ effort drew enough attention that she was able to cross the ball to teammate Lindsey Briggs, who scored the insurance goal the Heat needed to secure the vic-

Heading into Sunday’s fixtures, there were only 6 points separating the top four teams. With TRU losing to Quest in an upset the night before, the separation had TRU at 23 points, UBCO at 20, Langara at 19 and Quest at 17.

Sunday’s matches across the league proved to be just as important as Saturdays. Squamish’s Quest University came to town fresh off their 1-0 victory over TRU. On paper, this game looked to be another tightly contested battle.

However, Dodds had other ideas. In the sixth minute the Quest defend-

ers were unable to deal with her tenacity and skill in the attacking third and was forced to take her down in the box. Hayley Carlson buried the ensuing penalty kick and gave the Heat an early lead.

Quest was able to tie the game before the break, but early in the second half, Dodds made her way past two separate Quest defenders and the keeper to score the second goal of the game. With the sheer amount of skill and effort required scoring that highlight reel go-ahead goal, it inspired her team to victory. UBCO would score a third to take the game 3-1, but more importantly, secure another three points.

OKM senior soccer boys impossible to beat

The OKM senior boys soccer team has completed an unbeaten searson after winning all six games last weekend at a high school tournament in Summerland that attracted 16 AAA and AA high schools from across B.C. OKM, a AA school, outscored its opponents tin the tournament 45 to 5 ren route to the championfship. r The Huskies got off to ta good start and won their three group games without tconceding a goal, moving on to a semi final match against Simikameen from Keremeos.

OKM was up for the game and managed to quickly take control of the match, and after some

excellent team play they opened the scoring and went on to close out the game 5-0.

In the tournament final the Huskies had to take on the local Summerland team who had just managed to beat a AAA team en route to the final and had great support with a large crowd of over 150 students cheering from the sidelines.

Both teams started hard but the Huskies soon gained control and started to dominate the game, however some excellent defending and determination from Summerland managed to keep the score 0-0, and the game was forced into extra time.

The Huskies continued to pile on the pressure but

Summerland wouldn’t crack and the final would eventually be decided by five penalty kicks from each team.

OKM would come out on top after captain Andrew Stevenson scored on his shot while OKM keeper Michael Sexton made two excellent saves and also scored himself from the penalty spot. Mackenzie Rigg and Matt Fielding also scored on their shots to give the Huskies their second tournament win of the season.

OKM will now travel to Vernon as the defending 2011 AA Valley Champions on the Nov. 2 and 3 looking to secure one of the two places available for the provincial finals in mid-November.

The Huskies squad are Mike Sexton, Dan Perry, Jordan Powers, Quintin Torrensan, Walker Shanks, Joe Overton, Alex Beutle, Ben McDonald, Jesse Nanci, Mack-

enzie Rigg, Matt Fielding, Keevin Lee, Spencer Young, Dylan Wagner, Andrew Stevenson, David Denton, Braden Peters, Arpan Kandola, Rafa Gutierrez and Malte Thom.

The West Kelowna Warriors will look to continue their winning ways this weekend as the B.C. Hockey League team will hit the road for a pair of games.

The Warriors will play in Merritt on Friday night and in Salmon Arm on Saturday.

West Kelowna is coming off two wins last weekend that improved its record to 6-2-0-3 on the season, good enough for third place in the BCHL Interior.

The Warriors enter the weekend just two points behind Merritt in the standings with the Centennials off to a good start at 8-3-1-0-.

Saturday the Warriors travel to Salmon Arm to meet the Silverbacks who sit fifth in the Interior with a 4-6-0-1 record.

West Kelowna will return home on Tuesday to meet the Penticton Vees at Royal LePage Place.

The Chiefs snapped a four game losing skid last weekend with a 3-1 win in Princeton.

Coach Emil Dimitrov says it was a great weekend to gain experience.

“Nothing can replace the experience swimmers gained for swimming back-to-back events that they like, and don’t like, over the three days of competition,” he said.

“It was a great learning ground for the mental and strategic preparation for the 2012-2013 season. I believe that a lot of ‘how to compete’ lessons were learned from both the successes and failures experienced during this meet.”

In the Pentathlon, the swimmer’s cumulative time for all races swam during the day determined the swimmer’s final placement for that day. First, second, third place Pentathlon Awards were assigned every day.

Lightning swimmers that placed in the top three, at the end of a particular day, were: Kyra McNulty, Lucas Tyler, David Dimitrov, Craig Mathieson, Christina Russo. everalLightningswimmers also placed in the top eight: Jessica Forbes, Lacey Falkingham, Liz Aguiar, Scott Andreen,

T’Keya Delwo, Danielle Douglas, Alex Diaz, and Lauren Fauchon. Two swimmers, Kaitlyn Adderley and Kyra Rice, swam 100 per cent best times and achieved Provincial “A” times. Payton Lewis-Brisco also swam to personal best times.

Many successes were achieved by Lightning swimmers in the Iron Jamboree. All 17 swimmers achieved personal best times; eight of these swimmers won top place spots; and three qualified to attend Regional Meets by swimming under 4:00.00 in the 200 individual medley.

Megan Allan won 3rd place in 100 meter individual medley. Enrica Guidi won 2nd place in 25 meter freestyle. Ashlinn Salverda won 3rd place in 50 meter breaststroke. Jessika Mcdiarmid won 1st place in four different events: 50 free, 50 backstroke, 200IM and 50 breast. Mcdiarmid also qualified to attend Regional Meets in the 200 IM. Taysha Boulter placed 1st in 50 free and tied, with her team mate Florence Pouliot, for 1st

place in 50 back. Florence Pouliot also won 3rd place in 50 free and 1st place in 200 IM. Kealan Cangiano, who was at his very first swim meet, qualified to attend Regional Meets in the 200 IM. Oliver Diaz won 2nd place in 200 IM and 3rd place in both 50 back and 50 breast.

Pierson Piche, also at his first swim meet, won 2nd place in 50 free and 1st place in both 25 free and 25 back.

Others swimming in their first swim meet were: Shelbi Jardine, Diana Trif , Paighton Senger and Joshua Pilato. Alexandra

Strobel and Rowan Salverda achieved best times.

Victoria Koehle took five seconds off her 50 breast and 50 fly. Jacklyn Pengilly took nine seconds off her 50 free swim.

The Girls 10 and Under 200 free relay team (Allan, Salverda, Pouliot and Strobel) won 2nd place.

Coach Tina Pomponio was impressed with the results over the weekend, “It was a great way to start the season. The kids swam great and should be very proud of their personal achievements.”

Port Moody player coming to UBCO Kris McCrea, an outside hitter from Dr. Charles Best Secondary, has given his letter of intent to play for the UBC Okanagan men’s volleyball team for the 2013-14 season.

The Port Moody product is expected to give depth to the Heat’s future roster.

“Kris is our second recruit this year from the Fraser Valley Area ,” Heat men’s volleyball coach Greg Poitras said of his latest addition.

“At 6-foot-5, he is definitely in the physical range we are looking for in the wing position as we go forward. Kris is a very good jumper and is already showing signs of being an impact blocker at the CIS level.”

McCrea has a wealth of experience both indoors and on the beach that have garnered several provincial medals and a national bronze at the U16 national beach championships.

Consistently a standout athlete in high school competition, he has been named a district champions tournament all-star and MVP on multiple occasions.

“With next season’s absence of Nate Speijer, and Greg Niemantsverdriet having only one year remaining, we will look to Kris to fill those shoes as best he can as a young volleyball player,” Poitras added.

Kris will be enrolling in the Human Kinetics program at UBC’s Okanagan campus and has commented that this great academic program, along with a great new campus environment, were major selling points in his decision to come to the Okanagan.

“I also chose UBCO because the Heat volleyball program offers the style of coaching that I believe will work best for me,” said McCrea. “The team offers a good mix

of skill and character that will help me develop as a

player and a person. I’m looking forward to learn-

ing and contributing to a solid volleyball program.”

Misunderstandings about Canada-China trade clarified I have received communications in my office recently asking that the federal government stop the agreement between Canada and China for the Promotion and Reciprocal Protection of Investments, also known by the acronym FIPA. This is not to be confused with the China National Offshore Oil Corporation’s (CNOOC) proposed acquisition of Nexen Inc., currently being reviewed under the Investment Canada Act. Although the Internet is a valuable source of information, it is clear from the concerns being expressed that it’s also a source of erroneous information about FIPA. For instance, claims are being made that this

Ron Cannan agreement means the wholesale selling off of Canada to China, that it allows China to do business in Canada while ignoring Canada’s environmental standards, and that it gives China uncontrolled ability to extract Canada’s natural resources.

Let me assure constituents that under the terms of FIPA, none of this is accurate.

The agreement in question, negotiations

of which began in 1994 and concluded earlier this year, is available to the public and online at www.international.gc.ca.

Documentation related to the parallel environmental assessment is also available there.

Furthermore, the agreement, which offers equal protections under the law to investors both in Canada and in China, explicitly confirms that in no way does FIPA override the Investment Canada Act, which reviews acquisitions by foreign investors to ensure they are of net benefit to Canada.

In determining whether an investment is of “net benefit,” the trade minister considers the following factors: • The effect on the lev-

On the contrary, Canada and China have forged a positive relationship with each other for many years.

It would be regressive to give in to forces that would turn back the clock just when Canadian businesses, and local, regional and national economies, are realizing the benefits of investment, jobs and prosperity.

Valley First Credit Union offers advice to small business baby boomers A recent survey revealed more than half of Canadians in the baby boomer generation have either launched or are considering a small business venture before they reach retirement.

This is particularly true in B.C.’s Interior, where start-up businesses

and an aging demographic are key components of the regional economy.

Small business is the lifeblood of local economies but the risk of failure is about 30 per cent Boomers from A26

lies in the preparation, in particular creating a business plan, unearthing hidden costs and securing financing.

“There are risks in-

volved with every business venture and there are never any guarantees. You have to have a solid business plan and realistic expectations—especially in the later years—as any personal losses will be

harder to regain.”

According to the Government of British Columbia, small businesses make up more than 98 per cent of all start ups in B.C., employing about one million people.

“Small businesses are the lifeblood of our local economies,” said Smith.

“For those who have identified a gap in the market, the next step is choosing a trusted financial partner. At Valley First, we

have local expertise and tremendous knowledge of our home markets.”

Beyond the potential financial rewards, Smith says starting a business toward the end of what is usually considered a tradi-

tional working life allows older business people to stay connected with their personal and professional networks and take advantage of their often considerable amount of workplace experiences.

Valley First is a division of First West Credit Union, B.C.’s third-largest credit union, which has 37 branches and 29 insurance offices throughout the province, with some 1,400 employees.

NEWS ▼ BULLYING

Suicide loss of childhood friend painful lesson of life T he, tragic suicide saga of Amanda Todd reminds us of the sorrow and senseless stupidity attached with bullying.

The incident understandably inspires renewed call outs to ‘end’ bullying; it also motivates finger-pointing, demands for more funding, policies, and laws to eliminate bullying and suicides.

Natural, genuine, and somewhat predictable responses.

Ironically, it’s also emblematic of some of the reasons bullying and suicide (like homelessness, drug and alcohol addiction, sexual abuse, child abuse, elder abuse, etc.), will never be completely eliminated.

We forget too quickly.

Our strength as Canadians is also our weakness. We are often too complacent a society, convinced too many social issues are ‘not our business, not our right to inter-

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge fere with.’

After an initial emotional awakening, filled with good intentions, and outcry for change, the majority of us soon forget, and fade back into complacency.

Amanda’s heartbreaking suicide was not new.

Sadly, such loss happens regularly, much more than most realize.

What caused the attention and outcry over Amanda’s suicide was the very public and scary social medium from which some of her troubles began, and where she made her final pleas for help.

Despite the cyclical reality of never ‘eliminating’ bullying and suicide,

there is the very real ability for us to gigantically reduce them.

We have the choice and power to help others, and ourselves, but only if we keep that realization foremost in our minds.

We need to be advocates in the game of life— not complacent spectators.

So with that in mind, I share this memory…

We never missed ‘Mike’ the first day.

Actually, Mike was not missed for the better part of the school week except by those who enjoyed picking on him.

Exactly why Mike was the Central Elementary School punching bag was never apparent. He was not ugly, so it was not his looks.

Richard had big ears, and Gerry was from a foreign country so that justified kids picking on them.

Raymond had two traits that justified his being bullied; he cried a lot,

and occasionally still peed his pants. In Grade 6, such activity was simply not acceptable.

Mike did not do any of those things.

He was the quietest kid in class and always seemed about 10 miles away from what was happening.

He never talked to kids during recess, always trundling his own way alone, around the edge of the schoolyard.

His eyes had a frequent nervous twitch, which was hard to see because he usually kept his head tilted towards the ground.

Outside of those little quirks, Mike was ‘normal.’

Whatever it was about Mike that made him draw away from other kids, it worked against him, drawing some kids towards him in a negative way.

Perhaps they perceived his feeling of rejec-

tion as a slight and reacted how humans often do —by striking out. Mike averaged about two nosebleeds a month from such strange communication.

As a youngster, I was different from many boys; never punched people unless I was punched first.

At the same time, I never did much to stop such scenarios.

One spring afternoon during Grade 6, that all changed when for some unknown reason I stepped in and defended tall Richard from a gang of playground bullies. When someone stepped in, the bullies scattered.

A few days later Richard and I aided Gerry in a similar plight. I learned that standing up for others made me feel good; stirred a feeling of doing something right. It was my first stand against the crowd.

However, for some reason I cannot explain, I never ‘saved’ Mike.

I remember sitting on the bike-stand railing and watching Mike receive his daily beating—not feeling any desire to help.

I did not dislike Mike.

I had even tried to talk to him a couple of times, but I never stepped in for him.

It was a warm spring evening and my family was gathered around the kitchen table finishing

dinner while Dad read the local newspaper.

I was in a rush to return to my road hockey game, but had to struggle through the brussel sprouts first, when Dad suddenly smashed the silence.

“Did you know this little boy from your school that hung himself,” he asked, turning the newspaper towards me. I stared into the black and white mug shot of Mike.

“N-n-no,” I blurted, immediately asked permission to leave the table. I grabbed my hockey stick and raced out the door.

I never got past the front lawn before the tears spewed out of me.

“I didn’t lie because I didn’t know Mike,” I confessed to the dandelions as the tears flowed freely.

It had not really fizzled on me the talk at school earlier that day about Mike not coming back to school. No one knew why, so it did not seem to matter.

The guilt moved in then. If I had been a friend then maybe he would be alive still.

Suicide is never easy to understand, but at 12, it was beyond my comprehension. I was sitting on the fence at the edge of my yard bawling when Richard arrived.

For 10 minutes we just sat and stared at one another and cried.

“I hit Mike once and I don’t know why,” Richard finally broke the silence.

“So did I,” I lied for the second time, somehow wanting to burden more guilt.

A long walk and talk only made matters worse.

I greeted the next morning with a squeamish stomach.

I set a record for the longest time a child has ever taken to walk three blocks to school.

I wanted to punch every bully in the school, but that seemed all wrong too.

Instead, I shuffled my way into the gymnasium for the special school assembly.

The principal talked about Mike, of youth, the joy of living and other things.

He wanted to assure that no one else did as Mike, yet he wanted us to all learn from the loss and to feel some guilt. He did a good job.

Half the school was at the funeral a few days later. It struck me as so sad that Mike, who never had anyone show they cared, would never know.

For a whole week after the funeral, no one chased or punched anyone. For a whole week, everyone missed Mike.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ SCARY STORIES

Introductions all around with a scary story and a cup of joe Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Deceit. Revenge. A dark and dreary plot to torture. Wine.

This Halloween tale fits the Okanagan like a costume fits the season and the woman behind the reading where it will be revealed seems to relish its dark, theatrical appeal.

“The main character in this story is publicly insulted by someone he considered to be a friend,” said Bonnie Gratz, professional actor and the talented pen-woman staging this adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe’s The Cask of The Amontillado.

For the non-oenophiles left in the region, an Amontillado is a type of sherry, and the one weakness this story’s antagonist, Fortunato, seems to possess. Everything comes easily to Fortunato, making it even more galling that he should spread horrible rumours and innuendo about the story’s main character, Montresor.

This is the tale of how Montresor gets revenge, and that’s about all one can reveal without unearthing how it ends.

The end of the story is really the beginning

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

BONNIE GRATZ is starting the New Vintage Theatre Company here in Kelowna and will be holding a reading for Halloween at the new Pulp Fiction Coffee House where vivid imagery and creative baristas seem to meet over a good book and a cup of joe. of what Gratz hopes will play out for her in this city.

While the reading takes place on the eve of Halloween (Oct. 30), it’s really designed to introduce a new venue and her brand new professional theatre company, New Vintage Theatre Company.

Formerly a Calgary resident with Centre Stage

Theatre Company, she’s now teaching at Bumbershoot Theatre, was recently in Waiting for the Parade, staged at Creekside Theatre, and otherwise travels from Vancouver to Calgary to work. In other words, she knows the area doesn’t have many opportunities for actors to findjobs.

Her dream is to create a professional theatre company in the area where actors can find consistent work and Okanagan residents can start to see the kind of professional calibre theatre on offer in major cities.

“I don’t want to come in and say, ’Oh I’m the best. This is how it’s

done.’ There is a lot of talent here,” she said. “But really, if you want to do this for a living, you have to leave the area.”

The company is starting basic. Each month, there will be a reading in the new Pulp Fiction Coffee House on Pandosy and she’s aiming to start a Playwright’s Hot House

program in the new year, drawing together playwrights and screenwriters the company might use.

New Vintage is already holding theatre classes for adults in the Rotary Centre for the Arts and the Mission, and these readings are free.

“We really want people to come out and meet us and see what’s out there,” said Gratz, noting the reading is the perfect opportunity.

Moving into 2013, she’s hoping to develop a

program with some mainstream classic performances as well as more innovative new works, staged in secret locations throughout the valley.

But for now, Pulp Fiction Coffee House has been a tremendous supporter and offered the young company space to develop an audience. Though only open a month, the bookshelfladen coffee nook, dripping with theatrical kitsh appeal itself, has already hosted poetry readings and is keenly interested in connecting with the Okanagan arts scene.

For this performance, the company is asking that anyone who attends bring along a terrifying book— whether that’s a math textbook or a creepy crawly tale of Poe or Willliam Faulkner nature.

One can find out more about New Vintage Theatre Company at www.

NewVintage.ca.

The Pulp Fiction Coffeehouse is located at 1598 Pandosy St. on the corner of Lawrence and Pandosy avenues. The reading will begin at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 30 and is free. Anyone interested is asked to RSVP to info@NewVintage.ca. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

must clarify that I don’t believe anyone can be anything they want to be.

I learned from physical education class and general clumsiness that I would not make it as a professional soccer player. I only passed science classes because I was able to memorize and reword the textbook’s explanation during tests, so being a nuclear physicist is unlikely to be in my future.

However, I do believe that many of us are more skilled and able to accomplish things in certain areas than we realize.

And even if you don’t feel confident in your own abilities, somebody else might see your potential.

You just have to ask. The answer will not always be “yes,” but the disadvantages of receiving a “no” are far outweighed by the possibilities and benefits of the alternative.

I have to keep this in mind as I pursue my 12-year-old dream of being a writer, which will certainly continue after this column.

Forum on maintaining mobility for seniors Research shows that the more effort people put into strengthening their bodies through exercise, the longer they stay mobile.

Maintaining mobility through aging lessens the chances of debilitating injury and brain trauma, health-care experts say.

On Wednesday Oct. 24, UBC medical experts in the field of bone health and mobility offer a public panel discussion about aging well. People can learn practical tips for maintaining a healthy body and mind, including how to minimize the risk of osteoporosis and falls.

The panel presentation and discussion takes place from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Southern Medical Program’s clinical academic campus at Kelowna General Hospital, 2nd floor, 2312 Pandosy St. The panelists include: • Pierre Guy, co-theme leader, fracture prevention, Centre for Hip Health and Mobility; clinician-scientist and associate professor, UBC Department of Orthopaedics • Gareth R. Jones, assistant professor in Human Kinetics, UBCs Okanagan • Heather McKay, director, Centre for Hip Health and Mobility; Professor, UBC Departments of Orthopaedics and Fam-

ily Practice • Jack Oliver, orthopaedic surgeon; clinical professor, UBC Depart-

ments of Family Practice and Orthopaedics.

A PHOTO MOMENT at Cold Spring Tavern (above)—a 19th century stagecoach stop built from logs. The tavern may be the

greatest throwback in the Santa Barbara County wine region to its wild west days. Wine tasting (left) at Curtis Winery on the Fox Canyon Wine Trail.

Southern California close-up: Santa Barbara County wine country Christopher Reynolds CONTRIBUTOR

SANTA BARBARA, Calif.—About 20 miles beyond the red-tile roofs of downtown Santa Barbara, it begins: the rolling blond hills that go indecently green in spring, the massive estates and miniature horses, the sprawling vineyards and “Sideways” scenery, the dude ranch with 10,000 acres, the old stagecoach stop with boar on the menu and bikers in the parking lot. ...

Santa Barbara County’s wine country has a lot to offer. The nine micro-itineraries that follow are a quick introduction for newcomers, part of our ongoing series of Southern California CloseUps. (To see others, go to latimes.com/socalcloseups.)

El Capitan About 13 miles before the northbound 101 Freeway bends inland at Gaviota Pass, El Capitan State Beach and its neighbors offer places to splash in the Pacific and sit around a campfire before the wine country begins in earnest. The state beach is a rugged stretch of sand-and-rock coastline, and it includes a campground (which, in September, was afflicted by a behind-schedule construction project). Nearby, just inland from the 101, is El Capitan Canyon (11560 Calle

Real, Santa Barbara), a comfy, woodsy collection of cabins, fancy tents on wooden decks, “adventure yurts” and prices that are typically north of $150 a night. It’s “glamping,” some would say. There’s also Ocean Mesa at El Capitan (100 El Capitan Terrace Lane, Santa Barbara), a more conventional campground (20 tent sites, 80 RV sites) that’s also outfitted with a heated swimming pool and laundry room. At $40-$50 a night for a tent-camping spot, that’s value.

San Marcos Pass Cold Spring Tavern (5995 Stagecoach Road, Santa Barbara) may be the greatest throwback in Santa Barbara County—a 19th century stagecoach stop built from logs, where you can huddle by one of the stone fireplaces or dine on boar chops and rabbit medallions. If you take Highway 154, it’s on the way from Santa Barbara to Solvang, and it’s open for lunch and dinner daily.

But the place truly comes alive on weekends.

Breakfast is served, live music plays from afternoon into the evening, an armada of Santa Barbara bikers arrives, and lots of beer gets sold. Just a few miles north of the tavern, at the foot of the mountains, is Lake Cachuma, with fishing, boating and camping.

Solvang Don’t pretend you’re above Solvang. The

city, founded in 1911 by Danish educators as a little slice of Denmark in the California outback, might be the global capital of windmill kitsch.

Stroll down Copenhagen Drive, pause at the big red wooden clogs outside the Solvang Shoe Store (1663 Copenhaven Drive, Solvang), then nose around the Viking-themed restaurants and Nordic knife merchants, which are joined by neighbors such as the Thomas Kinkade Gallery and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.

Some people find Solvang irredeemably cheesy, but not you. You understand that this is a rare and endangered habitat. Others want to fancy up Solvang so that it fits better with the wine country and the horse properties. Meanwhile, the Chumash are buying real estate. Besides the wealth-generating Chumash Casino Resort (3400 E. Highway 246, Santa Ynez; hotel rooms closed for remodeling), the Chumash own the 122-room Hotel Corque (400 Alisal Road, Solvang) and the 71-room Hadsten House Inn (1450 Mission Drive, Solvang). So that windmill kitsch might not last. While sorting out your feelings about this, take advantage of the easy public parking and public restrooms. Get a snack at the Greenhouse Bistro (487 Atterdag Road, Solvang) or the Succulent Cafe (1555 Mission Drive, Solvang). Have a peek at Old Mis-

sion Santa Ines (1760 Mission Drive, Solvang) at the east end of town. Plan an upscale evening at the Mirabelle Inn (409 1st St., Solvang) or a cheekier, more affordable night amid the Danish Modern rooms of the Hamlet Inn (1532 Mission Drive, Solvang), where rates are often less than $100. If it’s summer, check to see what’s on at the Solvang Festival Theater (420 2nd St., Solvang), where PCPA Theaterfest typically stages several shows under the stars from June through September. (PCPA’s home is in Santa Maria.)

Buellton You’re not going to spend this holiday retracing locations in “Sideways.” But you need to know that the Hitching Post II (406 E. Highway 246, Buellton), seen prominently in that 2004 film, is just off the 101 with a long list of steaks barbecued Santa Maria style over oak. It’s a logical place to pause and get your bearings among the area’s several distinct wine-growing regions, including the Santa Maria Valley to the north; Los Alamos Valley; and the long Santa Ynez Valley, which includes the Santa Rita Hills to the west; and Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara to the east.

TRAVEL cape the wine world for a spell. Duck into Figueroa Mountain Brewery (45 Industrial Way, Buellton), where a sampler of beers goes for $6. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re traveling with kids, do what your dad and his dad probably didâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;save a few bucks and bed the family at Pea Soup Andersenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Inn (51 E. Highway 246, Buellton). Yes, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next to the goofy old Andersenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s restaurant. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got clean rooms of reasonable size, a heated pool, a little putting green and rates that often are less than $80.

Alisal Ranch Then again, maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re better off. And maybe horses or golf courses inhabit your dreams. If so, the place for you may be Alisal Ranch (1054 Alisal Road, Solvang), tucked into the hills just outside Solvang.

Born as a dude ranch in 1946, it has 73 rooms and suites set on 10,000 acres, with a 100-acre private lake, a busy corral, 50 miles of riding trails, two 18-hole golf courses, seven tennis courts, pool, spa and fitness center. Rates begin at $515 a night. The style is early California, with sepia-toned photos on the walls, Indian-patterned blankets on the beds and oak in every fireplace. Men are required to wear jackets at dinner (which is included in the rate), but for the most part, Alisal is designed to make you feel comfortable. In summer, scores of children join the guest population. Up on a nearby ridge, you can see the spot where President Reaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s helicopter used to

land when he was visiting his Rancho del Cielo.

Los Olivos Los Olivos is tiny but mightyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;full of wine, art, equestrian accessories and countrified emblems of status and wealth. Choose among more than 20 winery tasting rooms. Browse the Bin 2860 Wine Shop in the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn (2860 Grand Ave., Los Olivos). Get lunch on the patio of Los Olivos Wine Merchant & Cafe (2879 Grand Ave., Los Olivos), where you can peruse a 37-page wine list while eavesdropping on gossip about quarter horses and real estate. Inspect Stetsons and boots at Jedlickaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Saddlery (2883 Grand Ave., Los Olivos) or crafts and baubles at Artisansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Gallery (2432 Alamo Pintado Ave., Los Olivos). Look at outdoorsy art at the Wildling Museum (2928 San Marcos Ave., Los Olivos).

Consider spending $1,595 on a set of wind chimes the size of a pipe organ.

(As of late September, the chimes were hanging in front of the J. Woeste nursery and garden shop at 2356 Alamo Pintado Ave., Los Olivos). Alas, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t visit the late Michael Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Neverland Ranch (which is about five miles north of town).

But you can park and marvel at the miniature horses just outside town at Quicksilver Ranch (1555 Alamo Pintado Road, Solvang).

Or take winding Ballard Canyon Road to do some tasting on the oak-shaded patio deck at the Rusack Vineyards (1819 Ballard Canyon Road, Solvang).

While youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at it, remind yourself that the modern

browse past the cool neon sign of the Alamo Motel (425 Bell St., Los Alamos) before casting farther back and claiming your room at the 1880 Union Hotel (362 Bell St., Los Alamos), with its 14 historic rooms, creaky floors, vintage lobby, restaurant and saloon. If your budget is really tight or you need a pool, head up the hill to the Skyview Motel (9150 U.S. Highway 101), where the 32 rooms feature hand-painted decorations and your tab is sure to be less than

$100 a night.

Lompoc Most wine country tourists stick to the east side of 101, but not you.

You head west. At Lompoc (pronounce that LOME-poke), if it’s late spring or summer, you’ll be greeted by colorful flower fields. Enjoy, but keep going west and take Jalama Road, a two-lane country byway that will deliver you to underappreciated coastline just south of Vandenberg Air Force Base. If you time it right, you’ll arrive at Jalama

Beach County Park just in time for a breakfast burger (bacon and egg included) at the Jalama Beach Store. If you’re a beach person, there’s no need to go anywhere else, perhaps for days: Not only are there campsites at Jalama Beach, there are wood cabins overlooking the largely empty shore. If you’re not so beachy, head back to Lompoc. Oenophiles should head for the Wine Ghetto, an industrial park now occupied by 19 winery tasting rooms (and a gunsmith, among

LeafSource Stops Pain Within Days!

“It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!”

This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had finally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues.

“I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the

numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away.

“She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone - as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.”

Why is it so effective?

LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inflammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself.

The vast majority (70-80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems—often called osteoarthritis. This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through

the aging process. With joint inflammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back.

Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects.

These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure.

Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!?

LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive antiinflammatory drugs that cause many more problems than they solve. It is safe to take up to six per day with absolutely no side-effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent anti-inflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction of inflammation and pain within a few days.

People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily.

LeafSource is endorsed by

This product get results!

LeafSource is scientifically validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. But it’s what LeafSource users are saying that truly demonstrates the products effectiveness: I have had cronic pain for over 15 years and have been going to a chiropractor monthly for pain therapy.

I started using LeafSource two months ago and I am amazed at the results. I no longer have tendinitis, carple tunnel or irritable bowel. My arthritis is manageable, all my joints are limber and I’m able to exercise again. My energy levels are up, my nails and hair are stronger and my skin is softer. ~ Debbie

I am pretty stunned what this has done for me in 8 days of taking LeafSource. For 18 years I have tried many many products ...most of them expensive. And most did not work at all. I had been on a mission to find a product that is doing exactly what LeafSource is doing.So here I am on day 9 with 90% of my pain gone. ~ N. W. - Toronto

others). If you’ve got kids in the car, head instead to La Purisima Mission State Historic Park, which has atmospheric old buildings (built in the 18th century, rebuilt in the early 20th) and historical exhibits, as well as a bull with crazy, big horns, several horses and a few pigs.

Foxen Canyon The Foxen Canyon Wine Trail (www.foxencanyonwinetrail.com) covers 16 wineries and lots of gorgeous ground.

It’s about 28 miles from the Andrew Murray Vineyards in Los Olivos to Cambria winery in the Santa Maria Valley, and much of the route follows Foxen Canyon Road, a curvy route that skirts low-lying vineyards along one stretch, then climbs elsewhere to follow oakstudded ridgelines with big views. Vintners advise tasters to expect more Syrah, Grenache and Viognier at the south end, more Pinot Noir and Chardonnay at the north.

Tasting-room atmosphere can vary just as widely as

250-763-6133

the wine you taste. The Foxen tasting room (7600 Foxen Canyon Road, Santa Maria) is not only modern in style (completed in 2009), but the winery and tasting room are solar-powered.

Meanwhile, just up the road, Foxen’s 7200 “tasting shack” (7200 Foxen Canyon Road, Santa Maria) remains small and rustic.

It also has several autographed copies of “Vertical,” a 2011 sequel by “Sideways” novelist Rex Pickett. If you’re lucky, they’ll still have the one that Pickett inscribed with a no-Merlot quote, which can’t be reprinted in a family newspaper. To cap off the day with some red meat, head to the original Hitching Post (3325 Point Sal Road, Casmalia)—the one that wasn’t in “Sideways.”

It’s a reminder of what this area was like in less glamorous days, a busy joint in the gritty hamlet of Casmalia on a half-forgotten road that stops (for civilians) at Vandenberg Air Force Base.

2 TO CHOOSE FROM

I remember some years ago asking a Ford rep why we couldn’t have the European Focus, which was light years better than the frumpy model sold here.

His answer: Ours was “built for North American tastes.”

Huh? Are we no more than the hillbilly colonial cousins, unable to appreciate the nuances of sophisticated Euro style, ride and handling?

Heck, they were even driving better Fords in Australia—a former penal colony.

But that was pre-recession, and now North

Americans also enjoy a vehicle lineup that has made quantum improvements in recent years, propelling Ford to top spot in terms of Canadian market share.

This ‘One Ford’ philosophy that is unifying the design process and has been bringing award-winning global products to our shores, has delivered yet one more vehicle, recently tested in challenging terrain, in and around the greater Los Angeles area.

I’ve always considered the current-generation Fusion to be a solid contender in the mid-size segment, and one I didn’t

CAR PROOF

Boost models that, despite the Fusion’s heft (between 1,512 and 1,670 kg), are lively performers.

Indeed, Ford’s 2.0-litre EcoBoost is right in line with much of its V6 competition, and although it gives up a few horses when compared with Hyundai’s 2.0-litre turbo, it is nearly identical in torque and fuel economy, rated at 9.2/5.9 litres/100 km with FWD. During one leg of the drive route, I scored the top-trim Titanium AWD, which comes only with the 2.0-litre EcoBoost. As expected, there was some turbo lag, but this engine spooled up quickly and delivered strong acceleration, and decent punch when you want to pull out and pass.

I also noticed plenty of road feel—perhaps more than I’d expect in anything other than a European sports sedan.

But this is how the Fusion felt on the twisty canyon roads outside Santa Monica that included the famed Mulholland Drive.

Riding on 19-inch wheels, and a taut independent setup (Mac struts with stabilizer up front and multilink with stabilizer in rear), the Fusion Titanium loved to corner, and with AWD, wasn’t plagued by torque steer.

It’s unfortunate you can’t order the 2.0-litre Fusion here with the sixspeed manual, as the sixspeed auto was smooth, but didn’t take full advantage of all that power on tap.

MOTORING ▼ FIRST DRIVE

1.6L engine gets job done

choice is only available with the 1.6-litre EcoBoost. Despite its smaller displacement and lesser numbers, this engine is still peppy. With the advantage of a clutch, you can spool it up quickly, and although it’s no rocket off the line, you’ll have no trouble passing at speed.

Even when the 1.6 is working hard, it’s not buzzy, and the noise levels are surprisingly low at full throttle. Much of this can be credited to an abundance of sound deadening materials.

But that’s not to say you feel isolated from the road. The SE FWD I drove with this engine was nicely damped, with well-controlled body motions—but still more compliant than the Titanium. The drive route included plenty of challenging roads where this lower-trim Fusion handled the curves with excellent composure and no noticeable lean.

The Fusion’s heft and its use of high-strength steel make for a rigid body that feels and sounds as substantial as some highpriced Euro sedans. It’s doors close with a solid ‘thunk’ and its hushed interior isn’t bothered by squeaks or rattles.

Inside, there’s an abundance of soft-touch materials, with nicely-finished edges and upholstery that wouldn’t look out of place in a premium automobile. Panel gaps are extremely tight.

Even the base model (MSRP $22,499) is well outfitted with a decent list of features like air conditioning, power windows, keyless entry, tilt/telescopic steering, and a fourspeaker AM/FM/CD/ MP3 audio system with

steering wheel controls and SYNC voice-activated connectivity.

And there’s a ton of available driver technologies, such as the secondgeneration MyFord Touch with SYNC infotainment system, navigation, rearview camera, blind-spot monitoring (with cross traffic alert), lane departure warning with lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control, rear parking sensors, active park assist and the fuel-saving stop/start feature.

The latter, which comes in at a reasonable $150, is only available with the 1.6-litre engine with autobox. It shuts off the engine when stopped, and seamlessly restarts when you release the brake. Ford claims it will cut fuel consumption and emissions by about 3.5 percent.

I won’t add much on the styling, but to say that Fusion’s new, sleeker profile, sweeping character lines, thin roof pillars, slit projector headlamps and wide grille with horizontal chrome strakes, suggest poise and athleticism.

It’s a look that is more premium than its predecessor and, in my mind, one of the most handsome in its segment.

It can be argued the Lexus RX range of CUVs has been the gold standard in the compact luxury segment since the day it was

launched.

Bowing in 1998, the RX was the result of Toyota looking for something between a station wagon and a SUV. There were a few similar vehicles around, such

TOYOTA

as the Subaru Forester, but none boasted the kind of luxury and build quality Toyota/Lexus thought would be a complement to the ES entry-level luxury sedan and the flagship LS sedan.

So successful has the RX become that it is the volume seller in the Lexus stable that it’s one of those vehicles that fits the saying, “if it ain’t broke…”

In many ways the look of the 2013 mod-

el has much in common with the 1998 version. The first RX sported a 3.0-litre V6 that grew to 3.3-litres and now is a 3.5-litre with quadcams producing 270 hp and 248 lb/ft of torque.

Cargo volume be-

hind the second row seat is 1.132 cu m (40.0 cu ft) and 2.279 cu m (80.3 cu ft) with the second row folded flat.

While most drivers won’t be going very far off-road, the RX for 2013 has a ground clearance of 185 mm (7.3 in), an approach angle of 28.6

degrees and a departure angle of 24.9 degrees.

For 2013 there are three versions of the RX— the base RX 350, the RX 450 Hybrid and the RX 350 F Sport as tested here with a starting price of $57,900.

MOTORING â&#x2013;ź LEXUS

F version adds some sportstuned features

f

Lexus from B4 The RX comes with MacPherson struts and stabilizer bar at the front and an independent double wishbone with stabilizer bar at the rear.

What the F does is add a sport-tuned version of the suspension including front and rear performance dampers which flatten body lean in the corners and make slip angles in turns tauter.

Included are 19-inch F-Sport alloy wheels and fatter tires.

A major indifference is in the transmission with the RX 350/450h having a six-speed automatic while the F-Sport gets a new eight-speed.

Lexus made the F Sport available during a review of some of its current models in a refreshingly unregimented event where we were given the keys and told to enjoy ourselves.

Driving was held in an urban area so cottage country lanes were ruled out, but the idea was to drive the RX F Sport in the environment where most of these vehicles will live.

The V6 is a nice mix of power when you want it with the eight-speed shifting imperceptively through the ratios. With the sound deadening that is a Lexus virtue, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarkably quiet on the inside.

With this drivetrain combination fuel consumption is listed at 11.2/7.7/9.6L/100 km (25/37/29 mpg) city/highway/combined.

The F Sport is also the highest priced of the three RXs and a lot of that has to do with content such as a 15-speaker Mark Levinson surround sound system with the latest 7.1 channel speaker architecture. Of course, there is dual zone climate control, but Lexus also fits a dust/ pollen/deodorizing air fil

While most at home in urban settings, the FSport boasts 185 mm (7.3 in) ground clearance for places like rutted cottage country lanes.

showcase W OF PRIME INTEREST

Don’t be fearful of the smaller mortgage lending firms Mortgage lenders come in all sizes, ranging from RBC, the biggest in the country, to tiny wholesale lenders and credit unions.

When it comes to entrusting a company with your biggest debt, odds are name recognition matters to you.

Consciously or not, people gravitate to wellknown lenders partly because there’s a feeling of safety in “big.”

Even when a smaller lender has tantalizing rates and the best terms, homeowners tend to avoid it if they don’t know the name.

An often cited reason for that is fear that the lender will go out of business.

People worry about lenders closing down for one main reason—a fear the lender will force them to repay their mortgage early.

In reality, however, that rarely happens.

If you’re a qualified borrower with provable income, do you really need to be worried if your lender goes out of business? Not at all.

It is fascinating that people are concerned about smaller lenders, as they’re not deposit takers.

They give money, not take money, and the risk is all with them.

Many second and third tier lenders get their funding from large financial institutions and that funding is fairly stable.

Even if a company were to run into financial difficulties, the vast majority of the time there are backup lenders in place.

This sort of contingency planning is almost always required by the parties funding a lender’s mortgages.

If a lender were to close ,another financial institution would simply take over the mortgage.

When a lender sells your mortgage to another party, you just keep making the same payments like nothing happened, although in some cases to a different company.

The new lender is gen-

erally required to honour the terms of your old mortgage contract.

The one thing that will change is the renewal offer you receive at maturity.

Generally, the new owner of your mortgage will be the one making your renewal offer.

That could be good or bad depending on how competitive the new lender is. But smart consumers always shop their lender’s renewal offer anyway, so this isn’t a major issue.

Overall the probability of a lender disappearing is low.

On its own, it’s not enough reason to avoid a less prominent company. That’s especially true when the lender has the best deal in the market, which is the case with many smaller lenders today.

If you can find a 0.10 percentage point lower rate, you’ll save roughly $1,200 over 60 months on a standard $250,000 mortgage.

If you’re interested in getting the best rate possible, you need to be open to saving money with a smaller mortgage company.

Just be sure to get independent advice so you can sidestep the ones with onerous contract restrictions.

Examples of those include fully closed terms, costly penalty calculations, porting restrictions, refinance limitations, and so on.

Some lenders have rather unpleasant fine print, but that’s true for micro and major lenders alike.

There are certainly reasons to choose a major bank or large credit union for your mortgage, including branch accessibility, integrating your mortgage with your banking or credit line, and access to other financial products.

But it’s rarely necessary to shun lesser-known lenders for fear they’ll close and leave you stranded.

However, you can help reduce the risk of water damage through prop-

ily heirlooms,” said Tim Bzowey, vice-president, home and auto, RBC Insurance.

“Fortunately, there are simple steps you can take to protect yourself from water related damage inside your home.”

RBC Insurance provides the following tips to avoid water damage: • Clearly mark the main shut off valve, which is usually found in the basement, and ensure it is easily accessible in case of an emergency.

• Check plumbing for corrosion, buckling, bulging or cracks. You may want to consider reinforced braided stainless steel hoses in some in-

stances as they’re more durable.

• Inspect your appliances regularly checking water source hoses for wear and tear. Replace when necessary.

• If you have a sump pump, ensure it is in good working order and has a backup power source.

• Have a plumber install backflow valves for drains to help avoid sewer backup.

• Follow a regular maintenance schedule for your water tank and replace the tank every 1015 years, depending on its condition.

Nominees sought for realtor care awards

While 2012 may have seen a slow but steady pace of sales in the Central Okanagan market, the community spirit of local real estate agents has remained undeterred.

This is the seventh year the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board’s Central Zone will present the annual Realtors Care Awards. The deadline for nominations is Nov. 20. For nomination form and eligibility criteria, visit www.omreb.com website.

“Realtors are good public citizens,” said Janice Myers, executive director of OMREB. “They care about the communities that they live and work in and the world around them. I am always amazed at all the ways realtors give back…the good example they set for others.”

PROVIDING A HOME…

Star Mengede (centre in above photo) received a symbolic engraved key for her new home last week from Ian Campbell, regional director of The Source (left), and Ed McLean, chair of the Habitat For Humanity Kelowna board of directors. Mengede was the recipient of Habitat Kelowna’s 24th home built. Habitat is a non-profit, faith-based housing organization that empowers families to invest in home ownership by building new homes or rehabilitating existing homes which are sold to partner families with no down payment required and financed with affordable, no-interest mortgages. The Source made a substantial donation to this project, with the RBC Foundation and Westbank Lions, Accent Homes, Creative Mobility Products and Aquassure Accessible Baths also offering their support. On hand for the The Source donation presentation were (lower photo, from left) Brian Hermson, district manager; Ian Campbell, regional director; Carmen Facciotti, Westbank store manager; Perry Rasmusens, Orchard Park store manager; Lona Manning, executive director of Habitat Kelowna; and Ed McLean, Habitat Kelowna board chair.

elowna has a reputation of being a four-season playground with award winning vineyards and beautiful lakes, but our stunning city also has a reputation of having a ‘sunshine’ tax.

I recently had the privilege of speaking with a real estate agent who just moved here from Edmonton and is new to the Kelowna housing market.

When she shared her opinions to me regarding our local real estate market, I wasn’t surprised. She was astonished by the high list REAL ESTATE price of most properties RUNDOWN and felt that the price usually surpassed the value on some of the single family homes, but what this agent was not aware Ceinwen of was our infamous suntax.

Morgan shine It’s a known fact to most locals that Kelowna is an expensive place to live comfortably. For young families, it’s incredibly tough to buy a house.

However, Habitat for Humanity Kelowna is leading the way for families who have difficulties over coming some hurdles of becoming a proud homeowner in our community. (See adjacent photos.)

HFH Kelowna is only one part of a larger community that is spread across 100 countries and has been responsible for helping families get ahead by building and/or renovating more than 500,000 properties.

These homes that are built are sold to families that do not have a down payment and are financed with affordable no interest mortgages that are tailored to their income level. All mortgage payments that are made go into a fund that is used to help other families obtain their dream of becoming a homeowner by allowing more homes to be built.

With help from the community, HFH Kelowna has built 24 homes in the Okanagan and has proudly been a non-profit organization here for 20 years.

Over the summer, many members of the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board volunteered their services to help assist with the landscaping on one of these projects.

As expensive as it is to live here in Kelowna, I believe the positives outweigh the negatives.

Our community offers more then just vineyards and lakes, but has groups like HFH Kelowna working to provide affordable housing opportunities with tailored financial assistance mortgages. And making that possible is another adored aspect of Kelowna—our local residents and business community that volunteer their time and effort to help make that happen.

Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.

Home-sites starting at $143,900. Lake view sites starting at $219,500.
