Day of the Dead revival LETISHA MCBRIDE and Tait McGuire show off their artistic skull make-up in preparation for the inaugural Sugar Skull Strut, which takes place Friday, Nov. 1 at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. McBride and McGuire, members of Kinshira Performance Troupe, will present a fire poi show at the event. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED: SHELLY VIDA

Shelly Vida has never celebrated Day of the Dead (El Dia de los Muertos) in Mexico. In fact, she’s never even been to Mexico. But this year the performing arts and media coordinator at the Rotary Centre for the Arts is using the Mexican holiday as inspiration for the centre’s Halloween party alternative: Sugar Skull Strut. “The more I looked into it, the more I thought: I want to do this kind of (theme),” says Vida.

“I think it’s just a beautiful art form.” For Vida, the Sugar Skull Strut is a fun Halloween alternative for adults who don’t want to line-up at a downtown club or bar. Her vision includes artistic make-up, festive music, margaritas and piñatas. Interest has been good so far—the Rotary Centre is already anticipating the Sugar Skull Strut will become an annual event.

However, Halloween and Day of the Dead, are very different celebrations, surrounded by very different connotations. In this week’s Close-up, reporter Wade Paterson explains the inaugural Sugar Skull Strut, speaks to a Mexican exchange student about what Day of the Dead means to her and gives a list of other Halloween events happening around the city.

Mexican inspiration behind Kelowna party Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

he Rotary Centre for the Arts is going to look quite different Nov. 1. From 8 p.m. to midnight, guests—many wearing make-up resembling different variations of skulls—will walk through the Mexican-themed building, while Vancouver band, Locarno, fills the air with Mexican folk and Cuban son. Some will watch Kinshira Performance Troupe put on a fire poi show; others will sip margaritas in the black light lounge; a few may purchase items at the artisan Mexican marketplace. A “red carpet photographer” will snap photos, post them to Facebook and prizes will be given out for various people’s choice categories. There will also be a photo booth so guests can take home a Sugar Skull Strut memento. Shelly Vida, performing arts and media coordinator at Rotary Centre for the Arts, says she became interested in the Mexican celebration because of its association

with art. “Being an arts centre, I thought: Let’s play up the art form of the sugar skull and do a Day of the Dead thing,” says Vida. She adds there doesn’t seem to be enough for adults, other than clubs during Halloween; therefore, the Rotary Centre opted to put on an alternative event. Vida says she has researched Day of the Dead and understands it’s about honouring past souls and loved ones, rather than being spooked and exploring the dark side of death.

She says the Nov. 1 event is simply using the Mexican festivity—and the art that surrounds it— as a theme. “We’re not playing up too much on remembering your loved ones… it’s more of an art party.” Much of that art will be seen on guests’ faces. Some make-up may have a “creepy” element, explains Vida; however, it doesn’t have to. “It doesn’t have to be ghoulish, it can be beautiful. “It can be anything from a swirl over your

Appointments must be booked with the makeup artists, which can be done by e-mailing events@rotarycentreforthearts.com. Although many will be wearing make-up designs, costumes are not mandatory.

The Mexican marketplace will also be open prior to the event, from 6 to 8 p.m., for all ages. The Sugar Skull Strut tickets are $25 if purchased in advance at the Rotary Centre or online at selectyourtickets.com. They can also be purchased for $30 at the door.

to the Aztec culture. It’s a festival dedicated to the spirits of the dead. For most Mexican families, it is a two-day observance—Nov. 1 and 2—built around creating an altar in recognition for a deceased family member, says Maria Del Toro, a Grade 11 international exchange student in Kelowna from Mexico City. “There is a sense of good feeling or peace that comes with connecting to the spirit of someone you have lost,” says Del Toro. “You make the connection by what is placed

on the altar and just talking and remembering that person. It is different from a funeral church service, as it is more a celebration of that person rather than being sad that they are gone.” Del Toro says altars, which families typically might spend an hour or two assembling, will feature a sugar skull, often decorated with paint, a loaf of what is called “dead bread”—a special bread made with added sugar—and mementos

There’ll be a 1.77 per cent tax increase for the coming year to cover the cost of operating the Okanagan Regional Library system. Directors approved the 2014 budget Wednesday with a net increase of about $270,000 in a total budget of more than $16.9 million. The overall increase will translate into 75 to 80 cents per capita on an

average Kelowna homeowner’s tax bill, reported executive director Stephanie Hall. The ORL is described by Hall covering an area “about the size of Ireland,” and serves 25 jurisdictions from Hedley to Golden, with Kelowna the largest, paying about a third of the bill. The system is 91.3 per cent funded by local government. Inflation and initiatives such as increased programming are the reasons for the increase, she

said. A report from Grant Thornton, an independent auditing firm, analyzing the system’s financial allocations to each of the communities it serves, and service expenditures in each confirms that the system is efficient and fair. It also showed that some adjustments are needed, noted Hall, for instance in West Kelowna now that the Westbank First Nation is part of the system. Something specific will need to be provided to serve that additional population fairly, she said. The board requested

that a simple version of the report be provided annually by the finance manager to guide the board’s decision-making. Hall also reported to the board on a new initiative kicking off next month at many branches, called TakeOut Surprise. Patrons who come in to the branch can pick up a bag of books that staff has put together on a theme and be ‘surprised’ with the choices when they get home. Funds from the Friends of the Library went towards that program. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Day of the Dead altar tribute celebrated Party from A3

of the dead person, from the food they liked to eat to a glass of their favourite beverage. She adds there is a vibrant element of art attached to the process, from the painting of the skull mask to using special paper to create art decorations for the altar, to placing marigold flowers on the altar for that day. “Some people even create these altars at the cemetery as well, where the people are buried,” she says. Del Toro explains her school in Mexico also takes on Day of the Dead altar projects for famous Mexican people, a project that she has always enjoyed taking part in. On Nov. 1, the traditional belief is the soul of the dead person will come to the altar created in their honour and it will eat all the food that has been placed there. “You can choose one person or you can choose a lot of people to recognize with the altar—it depends on the family.” Del Toro says many Mexican people will wear skeleton costumes and decorate the outside of their homes, but that is as close as her country gets to what we celebrate as Halloween. “People have Halloween parties like you do here but that is more about the North American influence rather than having anything to do with what we celebrate as Day of the Dead.” —with files by Barry Gerding wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

UBCO student union trio face impeachment Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Three members of the four-member student union executive at UBCO could be impeached early next month. Alex Gula, the organization’s external coordinator who deals with political lobbying and media; internal coordinator Shaman McLean, who deals with students’ issues and student advocacy; and Nick Dodds, the services coordinator charged with handling campus clubs, could all lose their jobs at an annual meeting on Nov. 7. It is the second time Dodds has faced impeachment in the position, and the proceedings mark a major shift in the university’s student politics. “This is an unusual impeachment proceedings in that it’s not like other impeachments you might have seen. There’s no scandal, no one has been caught misappropriating funds. This is about job performance,” said Curtis Tse, a student representative on the university’s board of governors, a separate body of faculty, staff and students charged with governing the university itself. Equally unusual is the fact that Tse, the public voice of this apparent coup d’état, has nothing to gain. He will not assume power should the three lose their jobs as he is graduating this spring. “It’s been difficult,” he said, following an interview with CBC Daybreak South. “I’ve been called a few names.”

The impeachment motion itself was filed by students Blake Edwards and Courtney Chang and is a 14-page list of perceived failings viewable on the student newspaper’s website, thepheonixnews.com. While the allegations are different for each of the targeted members, it presents an overarching picture of a union executive unresponsive to its members. Clearly isolated within the list of complaints is Nick Dodds, who has four specific complaints against him. “Just from my perspective, he’s working hard just maybe not as effectively as he could be,” said Dave Nixon, editor of The Pheonix, noting Dodd’s communication on a recent policy change for clubs appears to be at the root of his problems. As of this year, every one of the student clubs has been asked to file complete budgets and collect dues, Nixon explained. Clubs can now apply for funding from the student union more often, however, the maximum funding a club is allowed to receive from the union is now also tied to the amount of dues it brings in from its members. As a result, only 40 clubs have registered where there were 90 on the books last year. Paid roughly $16,000 annually for the student union positions—half what counterparts in Vancouver make—union representative roles are coveted as they offer students funding and a prestigious position for future re-

sumés. But, as Tse tells it, the financial reward has not engendered dedication in the eyes of the students the union is to serve. “There’s so much wrong I don’t even know where to begin,” he said, stressing that by virtue of his position with the board of governors he sits on the student union board and must speak out to meet the demands of his own position. Alex Eastman, managing editor for The Pheonix student newspaper, confirmed the last two years have been fraught with political upheaval as covered in the newspaper he manages.

He traces the problems back to a switch from slate politics. For years the Students for Students slate maintained control of the union, winning elections and selecting members to be put up for re-election, he said. Ironically, Tse, who served as financial coordinator for the union before moving over to the board of governors, was on the board when it abolished slates a couple of terms back. Two of the three students up for impeachment are younger members, with less experience than union representatives typically had in the past,

Kelowna native Judah Campbell is a loving son, brother, partner, friend, and teammate. He is a fun-loving, popular guy who recently finished his bachelor’s degree in human kinetics. Up until this month he was applying for medical school and intent on becoming a doctor. Those plans are on hold—for now. On Oct. 5, Campbell broke his C4 and C5 vertebrae while playing rugby for the Kelowna Crows Rugby Club, damaging the spinal cord and leaving him mostly paralyzed from the neck down. He has started the long road back to recovery and is making small steps in the right direction through intense physiotherapy and rehabilitation. He’s one of the hardest working people you’ll ever meet, but he needs help to get there. Up until the day of the injury, Campbell was self-employed. He has no work disability insurance. He cannot collect Employment Insurance. The Rugby Insurance he thought he was protected by only covers full paralysis as a paraplegic or quadriplegic. Despite the fact that Campbell cannot use his hands, walk, or move his

JUDAH Campbell was hurt while playing a rugby game Oct. 5 for the Crows Rugby Club that broke vertebrae and damaged his spinal cord, leaving him mostly paralyzed from the neck down. body unassisted in a coordinated manner, he does have very limited movement in his legs and arms and therefore does not fit into the insurance company’s definition of a paraplegic or quadriplegic. This former UBC Okanagan varsity rugby player is unable to hold a pencil, or a glass of water to take a drink, yet he is not covered by insurance. Campbell was an excellent rugby player and is

an inspiration to everyone in his life. This was evident by the fact that he won the MVP for the Kelowna Crows first division team in 2008-09 and 2009-10 seasons, the first division’s Most Valuable Back of the year in ‘11, and UBC Okanagan Rugby Team’s MVP, in 2011. He is determined to beat this injury and make the best recovery he can. The Judah Campbell fund is aiming to raise

$100,000 to help with the medical costs in his treatment and rehabilitation, to help provide the constant caregiving he currently requires and assist with the future costs given his current state of paralysis along with adjustment to life outside the hospital.

BRITTNEY Irving’s mom Sandra and her son Joze Macculloch outside the Kelowna courthouse after hearing the guilty verdict from the jury in the Joelon Verma trial. to kill Irving. A day after Irving was last seen alive, she was reported missing by her family and her vehicle was found off Philpott Road. While police questioned Verma after she went missing— he said they were supposed to meet for a two pound marijuana deal but she didn’t show—police didn’t catch a break until Verma’s cousin, Jason Labonte, told investigators he saw Irving and Verma together at his house on April 6. Labonte also told officers he had been contacted by Verma that same afternoon, asking for help after he got stuck in the bush. When officers returned to the location—a side road jutting off McCulloch Forest Service Road—with a police service dog on April 26, they soon found Irving, deceased. She was wearing a green plaid jacket and running shoes that did not fit her. Those items belonged to Mike Roberts, who had lent his truck to Verma on April 6 after Verma mentioned he needed a different vehicle for a business deal near Big White. After Roberts’ truck was returned, Verma told him not to tell anyone he had lent out his truck. After weeks of Verma checking that Roberts hadn’t told anyone—and around the time police seized Roberts’ truck and Labonte’s firearms as part of their investigation—

Verma told Roberts he had to “take the fall.” “You have to take the fall for this…If you don’t I have no choice but to kill you, your wife, your children and your grandchildren,” said Verma as he pressed his hand into Roberts’ stomach with a gun gesture. “I’m sorry, that’s just how we do business.” Text messages be-

tween Verma and Labonte, who spent a lot of time together, also took a turn, with Verma telling Labonte to keep his “ f---ing mouth shut” around the same time. Verma was eventually arrested on June 25, 2010, and charged in Irving’s death. At the time, he was described as a former member of the Independent Soldiers.

Brittney Irving’s brother blurted out “yes” and supporters of Joelon Verma began to sob after a jury found Verma guilty of first degree murder in the death of Irving three years ago. The verdict revealed Thursday afternoon came more than 48 hours after a jury of six men and six women began deliberations, and was followed by the imposition of the mandatory sentence for first degree murder— life without parole for 25 years. Verma, 32, had no visible reaction upon hearing the verdict, but had tears in his eyes and swallowed hard as he looked at his emotional supporters after being sentenced. Outside court, Irving’s mother, Sandra, expressed relief with the outcome. “I’m happy,” she said as she leaned on her son Joze Macculloch. “I’m a happy, happy girl.” When asked what she would say to Verma if she had the opportunity, she told reporters: “I don’t think I could say it on TV. “I just hope he rots in hell.” Kisa Crane, an Irving family supporter who sat through much of the trial, noted that Irving was just 24 and made mistakes, like many of us. “She didn’t get an opportunity to correct those mistakes, like most of us do,” Crane said. “Her life, we don’t know what it would have been…Now he won’t be able to find out what his life will be either.” She expressed gratitude for the efforts of the Crown and for the witnesses who put their reputations on the line to testify. During the trial, the jury heard that Irving, who was looking to make money to pay for legal fees after her grow operation was busted, teamed up with Verma for a large marijuana deal. On April 6, 2010, Irving had gathered up more than $100,000 worth of marijuana before Verma, who she was dating, took her to the bush outside Kelowna and shot her four times—twice in the back and then twice as she lay on the ground. The jury’s conclusion that Verma is guilty of first degree murder means that they found Verma planned

To the editor: o Re: Cell Service Towerc Divisive Issue for Residents,i Oct. 15 Capital News. I’m not sure the additione of a cell tower in West Ke-t lowna along Westlake Roadi will cause any lasting harm tofi the ponds and wildlife in the area. Considering that wild-s life exists there at all is testa-a ment to it’s adaptability, given the industry nearby. A hugew gravel pit and gravel storagefi pile isolate one pond, plus a large fibreglass plant sits on another side. There is development all around the area, so the small footprint of a well-required cell tower could hardly disturb the nature in this spot much further. However, should Telus not be able to secure a deal to place their tower on this site, I’d like to offer our back yard instead. Just think—not only would we enjoy improved cell service, but perhaps the rent they’d pay would offset our phone and cable bills! Susan Kirwin, West Kelowna

Student indoctrination masked as ‘social justice’

s the B.C. Teachers’ Federation executive moseys back to the bargaining table after a summer off, I’m reminded of former education minister George Abbott’s thoughts on his time trying to establish a civil discussion with the province’s most militant union. It started with a lecture. “In my first meeting with the BCTF, and I gather this is characteristic of all first meetings with education ministers, the TF advises that yes, they are a union, but first and foremost they are social activists and agents of social change,” Abbott recalled. Their buzzword is “social justice,” which is portrayed by leftists as superi-

or to plain old justice, in ways that are seldom defined. So what exactly are the goals of this “social change”? Here’s some of what I’ve gleaned. Tom Parents may recall Fletcher the 2008 introduction of an elective high school course called Social Justice 12. This was mainly the result of intense protest by a couple of gay activist teachers, and the ministry curriculum describes its emphasis on inclusion of racial, cultural and sexual differences. That’s all good, and it’s now bolstered by urgently needed anti-bullying and empathy efforts at all grades. Then there is the BCTF version. It’s not just a battle against “racism, homo-

VICTORIA VIEWS

phobia and sexism” but also “poverty and globalization.” The BCTF has a quarterly “Social Justice Newsletter” filled with predictable economic assumptions. Readers of the latest issue are reminded at length that the United Nations takes a dim view of Canada’s record on human rights, including a right to housing. Undefined “poverty” statistics are cited, although Statistics Canada has nothing but incomplete relative measures. One article describes a social justice club for Grade 2 and 3 students, with activities that include collecting food bank donations and “writing to the premier asking for a systemic plan to address child poverty.” Leaving aside whether eight-yearolds can understand what “systemic” means, this rhetoric is taken directly from the tired old NDP policy book. It

rests on the cherished myth that poverty is imposed by right-wing governments that refuse to double the minimum wage and pile more taxes on “the rich.” And what about that darned F “globalization”? The BCTF still has a 2001 teaching guide on its website promoting the claim that Nike is uniquely guilty of making shoes and exercise gear in Third World sweatshops. Teachers are to instruct students how to organize a boycott of Nike, thus passing the received wisdom of campus radicalism to the next generation. This was all debunked years ago. Are Adidas, Reebok, Apple and Microsoft any different? Has nothing changed in 12 years? A quick web search will show this is a stale old tale with a convenient villain, to avoid com-

LETTERS

A Tradition of Sound Advice

▼ LABOUR LOCK-OUT

FortisBC as trustworthy as Republicans

To the editor: The Oct. 15 letter regarding Fortis’s defense of their policy to not settle their dispute with their employees and locking them out is really an insult to the intelligence. (FortisBC ‘Committed to Resolving’ Labour Dispute, Oct. 15 Capital News.)

Does Fortis think people are stupid? The very fact that Fortis feels the need to justify their shocking treatment of their own employees for months on end shows how callous and unconcerned they are about employee welfare. Fortis is a company

out to make money and to heck with their workers. They have been shown to be greedy and inflexible. It is very obvious to anyone with a brain that they are not committed to resolving this labour dispute unless it settles entirely in their favour. Like most avaricious corpora-

tions, their goal is to starve their employees into submission. Their letter amply demonstrates a highly elitist, disdainful attitude which only adds fuel to the fire. Instead of offering some Christian decency and compromising with

their employees, they come across like USA Republicans, determined to sink the ship no matter what the cost to their shareholders, their employees and the working people of Kelowna. Laurence D. M. Marshall, Kelowna

Union uses Health Care Assistant Day for message

To the editor: October 18 is Health Care Assistant Day. First proclaimed by the provincial government in 2011, it’s a time to recognize the skill and commitment B.C.’s care aides and community health workers bring to health care’s front lines. Health care assistants are the backbone of personal care and support in our long-term care homes, the community, and increasingly, in our hospitals. They provide seniors and others with every aspect of personal care—from feeding, toileting, dental care and bathing to comforting those who are confused, afraid, or in the final stages of life. And they do it in the face of significant obstacles that undermine the quality of care they are able to provide. For too long, government has ignored the warning signs that come from not having sufficient staff to provide the level and quality of

care British Columbians deserve. In B.C.’s residential care facilities, for example, it has become typical for care aides to try and meet the needs of their often frail, elderly residents, without being given enough time to do the job. They are literally being run off their feet, which results in more injuries, illness and too frequently, burnout. And when staff are not able to be there for someone—who may be lonely, agitated, or near death—a whole other level of stress kicks in. In 2011, the B.C.’s Ombudsperson’s landmark investigation into seniors’ care called for higher staffing levels and enforceable standards for key aspects of resident care—bathing, meal preparation, and recreational services. It’s time to heed her call. And it’s time to admit that focusing solely on the bottom line is not working.

Tourist info centre Good work along in City Park a ‘grievous mistake’ Hwy 33 To the editor: To build a tourist information centre within City Park I think would be a very serious and grievous mistake. I was led to believe that the city was going to make the entire Kelowna downtown core a more pedestrian friendly place by restricting motor vehicle traffic, especially from entering City Park. I believe it would be

more sensible to built a tourist information centre on the property located between the Kelowna Heritage Museum and Memorial Arena on Ellis Street. It will be more accessible for transit and close to the Monaco hotel project planned for the corner of Doyle and Ellis. Lawrence Schneider, Kelowna

To the editor: So far, so good. I would like to thank those workers who are fixing Highway 33. I’m living on Toovey Road and using Highway 33 every day more than once. The work, so far, has caused minimum delays and closures. Keep up the very good work. Thank you. Peter Libal, Kelowna

One-sided ‘education’

Fletcher from A10 plex questions. A BCTF official assures me this unit is being updated. Once that one is done, maybe they could check over their teaching unit on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s “social justice” truth team. Entitled: What We Stand To Lose With Pipelines and Supertankers, it boasts wildlife photos and “key sources” from

the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives) to the far-left fringe (Pipe Up Network). It is another protesters’ guide designed around a pre-determined viewpoint. BCTF bosses love to talk about the importance of “critical thinking.” These one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite. They remind me of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, where loyal

party members are required to focus on selected enemies in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate. Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for government-imposed wealth redistribution. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter:@tomfletcherbc tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Scrimping on human resources may save a few dollars in the short term. But once you add up the additional costs that come from increased injuries and sick time, there are no long-term savings to be found by under staffing. As the union representing the vast majority of care aides and community health workers in B.C., HEU is calling for the changes needed to ensure staff have the time they need to provide quality care. Without that basic investment, our seniors will continue to lose out and our care aides and community support workers will continue to burn out. It’s time to care. It’s time to invest in people—the people who need care, and the people who provide it.

Thank God for people like the couple who followed the other driver in order to get the licence plate. Good on you and I wish there were more people like yourselves. The other driver has been found and charged, although in my opinion,

he deserves to spend some time in jail. To that driver: You got out of your car after you hit my daughter, who is seven months pregnant, to do what appeared to be, inspect your own vehicle, and then chose to leave her on the road. People like you should have their driving rights removed for no less than six months. Fines for this type of behaviour don’t cut it. Linda MacGillivray, Kelowna

Join Project FeederWatch and help with the birdwatching

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves

s the nights get cooler and even sunny days fail to reach summer temperatures any longer, there is good news mixed in with that longing for summer to continue. For one, these are delightful temperatures in which to do a little hiking as I did with some friends from out of town over the long weekend, to make room for a bit more turkey. The trails in Rose Valley Regional Park are in really good shape now that the regional district has made some repairs, installed benches with panoramic views out over the lake far below and added a path that zigzags up the steep hill from the pond instead of taking you straight up. While that may be a terrific cardio workout for some, for others it could just lead straight to emergency. As well, in the coming weeks those pesky bruins should be headed into winter slumber, allowing us to re-fill the bird feeders without luring them into the yard with the smell of calorie-rich sunflower seeds. While I do count the feeder birds in my circle of pets, I refuse to include the bears and I’m of two minds about the deer. I think overall I’d prefer they stick to noshing on wild plants and being startled when I spot them in the bush over the insolent attitude I get when I interrupt them chowing down on my rose buds and tomatoes. Once it’s safe again to encourage feeder birds to come for dinner, you might wish to help out with bird research and conservation at the same time. Join Project FeederWatch and share information about the birds visiting your feeders between November and April to help scientists at Bird Studies Canada and the Cornell Lab of Ornithology track bird numbers and movements. The 27th season of the project begins Nov. 9. Just count the numbers and kinds of birds at your feeders and enter the information on the Feed-

erWatch website or on printed forms. With your help, the data gathered makes a powerful tool for detecting and explaining gradual changes in wintering ranges for many species of birds. To register, call 1-888448-2473 or go to the

website at: www.birdscanada.org/pfw.html There’s a $35 fee to enrol, which includes your membership and four issues of BirdWatch Canada magazine, educational materials, a calendar, instruction and data book, results, articles and answers to bird questions.

Ironically, my other pet is a big orange tabby who has stressed me out the past couple of months by going off his feed, quite literally. (He’s not permitted outside so he and the birds enjoy a relationship divided by a glass wall.) Ginger has final-

ly come to his senses after some serious vet-tending by our colleague Capital News columnist Dr. Moshe Oz, of Rose Valley

Veterinary Hospital, who has to be one of the most caring vets I’ve ever run into in a lifetime of pet ownership.

Thank goodness for such a great professional in our community. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

▼ UBC OKANAGAN

University offers public classes on latest health research

There’s no homework, no quizzes, but “MiniMed” students will experience what it’s like to be a UBCO student in the 21st century while learning about compelling health topics ranging from the power of exercise to how your genes influence your health. A new health education lecture series, MiniMed is one of the ways UBC Okanagan is sharing its expertise with the community, offering a unique opportunity to learn about current medical issues and

how the latest research can teach us more about our own health. The series of four Mini-Med lectures starts Tuesday, Oct. 29, at UBC’s clinical academic campus at Kelowna General Hospital. “In the news, we see a wide array of facts on important medical issues but often not in a form that allows us to fully understand what it means for us,” said Deborah Buszard, deputy vice-chancellor and principal of UBC Okanagan.

“Our faculty are leading research in important areas of health. MiniMed is a chance for the public to learn from our professors, ask questions and improve their own health.” Mini-Med participants will take the following four classes on successive Tuesday evenings, 7 to 8:30 p.m., at the hospital, 2312 Pandosy St.: • October 29: Concussion Repercussions: From a simple bump on the head to the risks of playing football, what

does a concussion mean in your future? • November 5: Run for your life: Beyond the hype, how much and what kind of exercise gives you the best chance of living longer • November 12: Fat— The good, the bad and the ugly: Sorting out the confusing world of dietary fats and the links to heart disease • November 19: Genetics—Blame your parents: How your genes shape your risk of disease. Here’s what to expect

from UBC’s Mini-Med series: • Welcome package from UBCO and course guide • Four educational and entertaining lectures taking place over four weeks • Each lecture includes a one-hour presentation, followed by 30 minutes of questions and answers • Certificate of completion at the end of the lecture series. There is a tuition fee of $49 plus GST. Student tuition is $25 plus GST. For more informa-

tion and to register online at the website www.

Animal Nation’s raucous lifestyle leads to high voltage stage show

Cults delivers the goods in artsy-pop song fashion

Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

Writing something about Animal Nation is easy; describing the level of antics this folk hip-hop group gets up to—well words can’t really do that justice. As language is the currency of hip hop, however, the members of Animal Nation do spend much of their time trying. Throwing Knives, a true tale of blade tossing and rooftop touring courtesy of a doorman in Golden, offers the perfect example. Sure, it’s a song on their new album Don’t Grow Up To Be Like Us, but it’s also just a good sampling of the raucous roller coaster lifestyle one can be pretty well guaranteed will lead to a high voltage show. And unlike Joel Plaskett, who once went so far as to enshrine his disdain for Kelowna audiences in song—he’s since recanted—Animal Nation feels like this is their turf. “We love Kelowna. Every time we come we have an amazing show,” said Garnett Clare, on a break from his job in a one-hour photo shop in Whistler. The trio have played

Doc Willoughby’s Pub and The Grateful Fed and, while every group should naturally claim each tour stop is their favourite in an interview, these guys have the stories to back their claims. They’ve already been to Habitat, where they will be playing this show, Clare says. They were kicked out on their last tour for impersonating the DJ in order to sneak themselves and a few girls through the doors of what must have been a sold out show—they don’t know the artist, just the size of the lineup. One group they do know on sight is Sly Business. From the description of the relationship, they’re basically band best friends and the result, after three years of bumping into each other on tour, intentionally touring together and getting up to a whole lot of lunacy, is a joint album: Animal Nation & Sly Business Don’t Grow Up To Be Like Us. The idea for the album came about in a high school parking lot in Invermere, according to Clare. “Both bands were elegantly wasted and shooting bottle-rockets and

Clare (left) and Mike Armitage to Kelowna this weekend for a pre-Halloween party warm up. Roman candles at each other while waiting for that night’s venue to open up for sound check,” he said. The high school let out and the bands took the opportunity to fill the students’ arms with merchandise and fireworks and generally show a new generation of potential fans a good time. “Never one to miss an opportunity to light underage people on fire, the bands shot their remaining explosive at the departing group,” said Clare. The name for the CD came from their parting refrain: “Hey kids: Don’t grow up to be like us.” If this is a taste of

what’s driving toward Kelowna, one can imagine this is going to be a long night to remember. As the show is one weekend before the Halloween hoopla really beings, the band members have decided to hold off on costumes; but they will be bringing their usual motley crew of members and instruments including harmonicas, guitars, drum machines, banjos and attitude. They open for Kyprios this Saturday, Oct. 19 at Habitat. Tickets are $10.50 available through Habitat EStore, at estore.thehabitat.ca. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Cults are the New York-based duo of Madeline Follin and Brian Obvious who got solid notices for their debut album last year that featured the Internet sensation song Go Outside that had fans and critics slavering for more. That tune was an altpop song that strongly relied on ’60s-sounding girl group dynamics with a nod to N.Y. Brill Building pop and L.A. Phil Spector pop but not necessarily with the wall of sound production. Critics noted that Cults could be on the brink of something big if they could reproduce the wonderful sound and retro-pop of Go Home over a full album. Well, I didn’t think that Cults were that successful with their first album but this second release, Static, really lives up to their promise. There are a lot of winning alt-pop songs that sound like hits off this album, with the telling title Static as the duo have since broken up romantically but still perform together in studio and on stage (redolent of The Civil Wars). Some have cited this breakup for the aching beauty of many of these artsy pop songs but a good song is a good song is a good song no matter how they got there—Go Home, after all, was made during romance. So check out the more conventional We’ve Got

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell It with its pure hooks and Brian Wilson meets the Cramps as well as altdream-pop of the current single High Road and its spacey layers. For pure girl group pop you can almost imagine Shelley Fabares (re: her Johnny Angel, regarded as the first girl group hit) singing the hooky Always forever while the DIY sounding Shine A Light is also exceptional for its squiggly sonics and strong melodics. Cults have fully delivered. B

PAUL SIMON; A RETROSPECTIVE (1964-2011), OVER THE BRIDGE OF TIME [SONY] As usual for mid October, the recording labels are getting a good jump on the upcoming Christmas season. Last week I got a couple of very interesting looking Christmas albums from Joshua Bell & Friends and the ‘early music’ ensemble Quadriga Consort. But I refuse to listen to Xmas music until December 1; however, it is also the Yuletide season that the recording labels

release wonderful little bonbons like this superb Paul Simon retrospective Over The Bridge Of Time. At 20 tracks and a maxed out 79 and a half minutes, it is the best single disc yet of Simon’s amazing output and it is loaded with hits such as The Sound Of Silence, The Boxer, Cecilia, Bridge Over Troubled Water, 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover, Slip Sliding Away, America, You Can Call Me Al and many more. These sort of compilations regularly turn up near the cash registers of big box stores and coffee shops as pick-up items and I heartily endorse this fine set for those who want a quick fix of Paul Simon. However, for the uberfan, Legacy Sony has also released a huge 15-CD boxed set that includes everything Simon has ever recorded as a solo artist with 30 or so extras of demos, out-takes and alternate versions. Note that this single disc teaser Over The Bridge Of Time includes a half dozen Simon & Garfunkel classics while the box set has only Simon solo material. B+

Bamford serves up mellifluous hooks, sweet backing vocals Mitchell from A18 lar high in his very successful career. He has just come off an amazing five times winner for 2013 Canadian Country Music Awards and his new album is getting good notices and is selling well especially with his new smash hit When Your Lips Are Close. This country-pop song sounds like a lost Lady Antebellum nugget with its mellifluous hooks, sweet backing vocals and

twangy guitar that hints at a ’60s Mersey background. Elsewhere on this generous 14-track, 45-minute disc Bamford alternates between love songs and ballads his happy domestic life along with more breezy songs with a sense of country humour. Bamford writes almost all of his own material. There is absolutely no negativity nor weepers nor heartbreak in his songs about family on Daughterville and She

Gets Me while his amiable sense of humour shines through on tracks like One Makes Me Want Another and The Truth— the latter being about a bragger who is all hat and no cattle. Bamford writes songs with substance which is often belied by his easy, breezy likable lope and his old fans will love Cowboy Junkie (there is no rehab) which ranks among his best.

Capozzi makes national team Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Skating in what will be her final season of hockey at the University of B.C., Kelowna’s Christi Capozzi was hoping this season would be a special one, before she hangs up the competitive hockey blades. And now that hope will be a reality as Capozzi has been named to Team CIS that will compete in December at the World University Games, to be held in Italy. That’s in addition to being named captain of her UBC squad. A fifth year player at UBC, it will be the first time Capozzi has played the game she loves at the international level and a huge part of her final year of CIS hockey. “It’s amazing, I’m super-excited and really grateful for the opportunity,” said Capozzi. “I can’t wait to play. It’s going to

make my fifth year really memorable which I’m very happy about.” Capozzi is closing out a solid university hockey career this year and has been named captain of the UBC Thunderbirds after spending the last three seasons as an assistant captain. Last year saw Capozzi and the women’s UBC hockey team revive a program that had fallen on hard times, winning their division and playing in the CIS women’s championships. Being named captain in her fifth season is another feather in the cap for the Kelowna Minor Hockey graduate. It’s come out of hard work and playing the game the right way. “For me being part of the leadership group the last three years taught me a lot about what it takes to be a good leader and the type of leader that I want to be,” she said. “Just be-

ing myself has gotten me to this position so I’m trying not to change the way I do things. I just try to represent myself and the team in the best way I can.” Canada will head into the 2013 World University Games (also known as the 2013 Winter Universiade) in Trentino, Italy as the two time defending champions of the event, winning the tournament in 2009 in China when the sport debuted at the Universiade Games as well as in 2011 in Turkey. The team has dominated at the games, going 14-0 at the first two tournaments. This year the event will feature six teams: Canada, the USA, Great Britain, Japan, Russia and Spain. Team CIS will open this year’s preliminary round on Dec. 10 against Spain and will then face Russia (Dec. 12), Great Britain (Dec. 13), the USA (Dec. 15) and Japan (Dec. 16). The semifinals

are scheduled for Dec. 18, with the bronze and gold-medal games following on Dec. 20. For Capozzi, it’s not only a chance to compete at a high level during her final season of play, it’s also about seeing different cultures and taking part in a world tournament. “It’s going to be really cool to see all the different cultures,” she said. “We (UBC) have been exposed to it a little bit. We have played the Japanese national team and the Kazakhstan team. Seeing different cultures and rituals is really interesting. I think it’s good to open your eyes to other cultures and the way they do things.” To take part in the tournament, Capozzi must pay for the flight to Italy and is hoping she can raise some money on that end. If you are interested in helping her out e-mail christi.capozzi@gmail. com.

RICHARD LAM/CONTRIBUTED

KELOWNA’S Christi Capozzi has been selected to attend the World University

Games this year in Italy and is hoping to find some sponsors to offset the costs. E-mail her at christi.capozzi@gmail.com for more information.

Casorso 3rd star of week UBC defenceman and Kelowna Minor Hockey product Sarah Casorso was an offensive catalyst for the Thunderbirds women’s hockey team last weekend, recording five points in two games against the Calgary Dinos in Vancouver. Her effort led her to being singled out as Canada West third star of the week. “I’m pretty excited about getting the third star. It’s an honour not many athletes get to experience and it will definitely help motivate me for

the rest of the season. The team has been doing well but I know we’re not satisfied with our performance and consistency quite yet. We’re looking forward to this next series against Regina to continue proving ourselves.” Casorso collected three assists in UBC’s 4-0 win on Friday, including two on the first goals of the game 27 seconds apart late in the first period. On Saturday, the Thunderbirds fell behind 3-1 entering the third period but mounted a comeback to tie the game at 3-3

and send it to overtime. Eventually, Calgary won in a shootout 4-3. Casorso was a big part of the comeback, recording an assist on the power play goal that made it 3-2. Then with just over four minutes left in regulation, she tied the game with an even strength goal. The fourth-year player from Kelowna now has eight points in four regular season games, putting her at the top of the Canada West scoring race. UBC will travel east to face Regina in a twogame set, starting Friday.

Rockets host rivals Saturday Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Like most teams in the WHL, the Kelowna Rockets had the Prince George Cougars’ number last season, winning seven of eight meetings. With a more experienced, deeper roster, Ryan Huska expects to see a more formidable Cougars

team than the one that finished second last overall in 2012-13 with just 21 victories. “They’re an improved team and they’re playing well under (coach) Mark Holick,” said Huska, the Rockets head coach. “The (Cougars) are working

hard fairly consistently, and now they have good depth up front and on the back end. They’re another team in our division that’s going to be a tough opponent this year.” The Rockets (6-1-02) and Cougars(5-6-0-1) will square off Saturday night at Prospera Place in the first of eight encounters between the clubs this season. Kelowna ended a modest two-game losing skid on Wednesday with a convincing 6-0 drubbing of the struggling Lethbridge Hurricanes. Second-year defenceman Riley Stadel continued his early season scoring rampage with a hat trick and now leads the team with seven goals in 2013-14. “Hockey right now is

fun for him, he’s enjoying himself,” Huska said of Stadel. “He’s doing a good job of getting his shots through, he’s got a little bit of heat on that shot now so he’s finding the back of the net. He’s playing with a lot of confidence right now.” Nick Merkley and Ryan Olsen added four points each and Jordon Cooke recorded his first shutout of the season as the Rockets outshot the Hurricanes 62-26. On the downside of the win, Rockets’ 17-yearold forward Austin Glover went down with an ankle injury late in the third period and spent Wednesday night in hospital. Huska said Glover, from Clavet, Sask., will likely be out of the lineup for an extended period. The Rockets will host Calgary next Tuesday, be-

fore heading to Victoria Oct 25 and 26 for two meetings with the Royals.

ROCKET PROSPECTS TO CHALLENGE CUP

Four members of the Kelowna Rockets 2013 bantam draft class have been chosen to compete at the annual Western Canada Under 16 Challenge Cup. Dillon Dube, Jordan Borstmayer, Kole Lind and Connor Bowey will be representing their provinces in the tournament that runs from Oct. 31 to Nov. 3 in Calgary. The Challenge Cup will feature the highest rated players in the under-16 age category representing the four western provinces of Alberta, B.C, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Dube, who was the Rockets first round selection in the 2013 WHL

Bantam draft (21st overall), has been selected as a member of Team Alberta. The 5-foot-10, 160-pound centreman out of Cochrane is currently playing in the Notre Dame Hounds hockey program. Kelowna’s third and fourth round picks will be teammates at the U16’s, as Borstmayer and Lind will be suiting up for Team Saskatchewan. Borstmayer, 5-foot-11, 160 pounds, is a native of St. Brieux, while the 5-foot10, 155-pound Lind hails from Shaunavon. Bowey, who is the younger brother of Rockets defenseman Madison Bowey, will be competing for Team Manitoba. The 5-foot-8 150-pound rearguard from Winnipeg was an eighth round selection of the Rockets in the 2013 bantam draft.

Before teeing off this weekend at the 2013 PING CCAA Golf National Championships, Kelowna golfer Will Deck was named an All-Canadian at the awards banquet held at the Royal Quebec Pavilion. The banquet, as well as the national championship, is hosted by Champlain St. Lawrence College and the Royal Québec Golf Club, Bois-

chatel, Que., and is underway this week. Deck, a fourth year golfer from Kelowna, was among the 10 golfers across the nation to receive the award. To earn the award Deck played remarkably consistent this past year, and over the course of his four years on the UBC Okanagan Heat men’s golf team, and his steady play earned him Player of

Double gold for Thompson Okanagan Football Club girls on North Shore A pair of Thompson Okanagan Football Club teams struck gold on Thanksgiving weekend at the North Shore girls soccer tournament. The TOFC Intake U13 grabbed top prize in the U14/15 division, while the Thompson Okanagan U17 squad emerged victorious in the U18 division. The U13s went undefeated in four games, capturing the title with a 2-1 win over the U14 North Shore Flames in the final. On opening day, the U13s defeated the U14 North Shore Vipers 2-0 and the U14 Whistler Avalanche 5-1, then add-

ed a 4-3 win over the U15 North Shore Sidewinders on the second day of competition. The TOFC U13 Intake are: Ava Bakala, Georgia Lawerence, Kyleigh Oloriz, Lexi Kinnear, Hannah Tarzwell , Stefanie Young, Charlie Kampan, Olivia McLennan, Sammi Krupka, Piper Conner, Katie Smith, Yvonne Manwaring, Kristen Moon, Sam Gerelle, Emily Metz, Molly McLeod , and the coaches are Brian Dewar and Henk Kampman. Meanwhile, the U17 girls opened with a 1-1 tie against Coquitlam Metro Ford with the solo TOFC goal coming on a great

strike from distance from Nikki Manwaring. On Sunday, TOFC delivered two stellar performances over North Shore (4-1) and Port Coquitlam (3-0). An excellent showing with a hat trick from Nikki Manwaring and a solo strike from Hannah Love against North Shore. Goals from Aryana Jacura, Jaedyn Penkala (PK) and Moraya Harrison against Port Coquitlam sealed that win. The final on Monday was another match against the North Shore girls who were determined to put up a better performance than their previous 4-1 loss to TOFC. The TOFC girls

played well, creating better chances overall and were duly rewarded with a solo goal off a Manwaring corner which deflected off a North Shore defender and into the back of the net. The lone marker earned TOFC a 1-0 win and the gold medal. The U17 TOFC gold medalists are: Becca Kletke, Sarah Huber, Teigan Moore, Moraya Harrison, Lindsay Lalach, Erin Graham, Jaedyn Penkala, Kiana Ajamzadeh, Lizzy Raye, Maddy Laranjo, Hannah Love, Nikki Manwaring, Joella Koblischke, Aryana Jacura and Rachel McMillan.

The 46th annual Ski and Board Swap takes place all day Oct. 25 and 26 at the New Life Church. It is a long-running sale that allows the Big White Ski Club to offer great deals for any budget. “The cost of sports can be a barrier for some,” said John McMillan of the Big White Ski Club. “This ski and board swap allows families to either enter the sport or continue on as the selection and pricing will fit any need and budget.” Over 200 volunteers from the ski club will be on hand helping out at the event, which will take

place at the New Life Church next weekend. McMillan says it’s a big event that takes a lot to put on and helps the bottom line of the non-profit

sports group. “This allows Okanagan families to purchase near new equipment and clothing for very low prices,” he said. “The

overall selection of products is amazing. There is something for everyone from the absolute beginner to the accomplished athlete.”

iming is not everything in life—but it certainly has its significance. Whether by intent or simply by life unfolding as it will, time has a way of sneaking up on us or passing away before we are really ready. Like the weather, it is not always predictable or perfect. Last night, as I sat propped up by three pillows and feeling very cozy due to a warm comforter and a snuggling four-year old granddaughter, I marvelled at how time also has a way of coming full circle and providing us with unforeseen moments of joy. After all—life does not get much better than snuggling up, eating ice cream, and watching Alvin and the Chipmunks. As Teresa and I chuckled at the video, and the delightful facial expressions and gurgles of laughter from four year old Taylor, my mind spun back to a similar scenario many moons ago. At age 36, I was starting to actually think I was getting old when step-

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge daughter Shauna brought me my first grandchild, Chelsea. From the day wee ‘Chelser’ arrived my world was filled with a rediscovered wonderment and love for life. Having not raised any of my own genetic progeny from birth I had missed many of the parental pleasures (and pains) that parenthood could provide. My marriage at that time to Sharon, however, allowed me the opportunity to experience that pleasure through granddaughter Chelsea. Like most youngsters Chelsea evolved through the normal cycles of growth, discovery, and life’s lessons. Her inquisitive nature, joy of new discoveries, and daily unravelling of life’s mysteries meant that

our guardianship was far from dull. I routinely enjoyed being privy to her many accomplishments and occasional failures as life plodded along as it should. Naturally, I still maintain she was the sweetest little girl ever, though Taylor is now threatening to challenge for that title. Four-year-olds have that ability—especially in their newly discovered ability to carry out full sentence conversations and analysis. Chelsea provided a plethora of gut splitting lines over the years—especially between ages 4 to 10. One of my favourites was when we were riding on a bus home along the ocean near Qualicum Beach when a sweet woman attempted to engage Chelsea. Looking out the window at the incoming tide, the woman said, “Oh, look at the pretty water!” To which Chelsea, in her confident, know-itall, condescending voice gently patted the woman on her shoulder and clarified, “That’s not the water,

that’s the ocean.” The entire bus roared in appreciation at that wisdom. Soon after Chelsea grew up, and I started to get old again. Thankfully, soon after Teresa and I were married stepdaughter Lisa brought granddaughter Taylor into our world, and for Teresa and I the chuckles of childhood revisited returned to our life. As comedian Art Linkletter once said: “Kids do say the darnedest things.” A few months ago Taylor was visiting another relative and obviously whatever she had consumed food wise had caused her tummy to have an argument with itself. The result was apparently a series of rather loud gaseous explosions. The relative responded two or three times with words such as, ‘Oh my, did you fart?’, ‘whoops’, and, ‘say excuse me.’ Finally after about her fourth or fifth gas blast, Taylor turned to her critic and with exaggerated raised arms and a look of total bafflement said, “Where are all these farts coming from?” Last month, shortly after her fourth birthday (when conversations and logic often collide) Taylor came to visit and immediately sought out her best friend in the world, Max the Cat. Max, as he is prone to do of late, had tried to seek solace behind the couch but the probing, wiggly arms of Taylor found him. As he was dragged reluctantly from beneath his safe space Grandma Teresa asked, “Is Max your best buddy?” “Yeth.” “Well, what about Grandpa—is he your buddy?” “No, don’t be silly Grandma—Grandpa can’t be my buddy,” Taylor replied, obviously agitated with the dumb ques-

tion. Well why not? “Cause Grandpa is not a cat and only cats can be your buddy,” she announced. Of course. Silly Grandma. So last night, after finished playing with snails and things, we settled in to watch Alvin and the Chipmunks. Part way through the show as the three of us chuckled at the three furry critters singing a song—Taylor said,”That’s silly.” “What is,” I asked innocently. “Everyone knows that Chipmunks can’t sing,” she announced. “Yeah I guess talking chipmunks are sort of silly, eh,” I offered. Taylor stared at me with her best ‘you really are a moron aren’t you’ look and said somewhat exasperated. “Of course they can talk Grandpa, but they can’t sing!” Silly Grandpa. A little later, after Taylor and Teresa had gone to sleep, I sat marvelling at the evening’s special moments. It was then I realized how time had once again blessed me. Many years after Chelsea has grown up, I have been blessed to rediscover childhood through the eyes of four year old Taylor. And as an additional bonus, I am guaranteed to remain in kid-mode for another eight or 10years since granddaughter Chelsea (age 22 last week) recently become a Mom to wee Arya. That means as a great-grandpa I will likely get to watch Alvin and crew again in the very near future, chase kitty cats, and talk about farts. Who needs a fountain of youth or an elixir of non ageing—I’ve got Taylor and Arya. It doesn’t get much better than this. Hmm… I wonder what other kid’s movie we have kicking around the house?

MIGHTY cliffs dwarf kayakers in Ensenada Grande Cove, Isla Partida in the Sea of Cortez.

STEVE HAGGERTY/COLORWORLD/MCT

▼ BAJA

Floating fortress of solitude in Sea of Cortes Anne Z. Cooke and Steve Haggerty CONTRIBUTORS

SAN EVARISTA, Mexico—Rising at dawn to catch the sunrise, cruise passengers nursing coffee cups watched as the Safari Endeavour glided past the Baja Peninsula’s ragged coast. As the rays played over the cliffs, each thumb-shaped cove and crescent beach came into view for a minute or two, then slid out of sight, disappearing astern. Fifty yards off the starboard bow, a whale surfaced to breathe, blowing an airy spray of mist and leaving a widening circle of ripples. On the port side, a squawking band of sea gulls hovered over a rocky islet shared by a colony of croaking sea lions. They—and the Endeavour—were the only signs of life, or so it seemed to this first-time visitor to the Sea of Cortes, the 700 mile-long finger of ocean separating the Baja California Pen-

insula from the Mexican mainland. (It’s also known as the Sea of Cortez, Gulf of California, and Vermilion Sea, in addition to its various Spanish-language names.) In nearly a week on the ship, touring at sea and on land, we’d spotted three of the seven whale species that frequent the region, part of the abundant stew of marine residents, including dolphins, green turtles, mobula rays and dozens of birds. We’d walked through a tiny fishing village. Hiked the narrow trails to dusty clifftop ridges. Snorkeled in glass-clear coves. But, except for a brief glimpse of two small sailboats, we’d had the lonely Sea of Cortes all to ourselves. Behind us on the bridge, Capt. Jill Russell, the Endeavour’s 40-something skipper, was in her element, peering through binoculars and reading weather signs in the clouds. A chunky dynamo with energy to burn and a hands-on approach to management, she checked

the wind, wondering if the day’s planned expedition should be canceled. Button-holed by a photographer who asked where the ship was heading, she was ready with a snappy come-back. “I don’t know,” she answered, pausing for comic effect. Then she grinned. “But I’ll know when we get there.” A few of the passengers, mostly cruise veterans expecting an orderly progression of ports and tours, suddenly felt unmoored. “Now what?” asked a retired lawyer from Maryland. “Can they change the route just like that?” But the officers on the bridge, watching the whitecaps smacking against the bow, knew what to expect. Captain Jill, as they called her, would wait and watch, then decide. One thing was certain. The 86-passenger Endeavour, an Un-Cruise Adventures ship, was a solo act. At present, only Holland America and

Carnival sail anywhere close by, and that with one ship each, calling only at larger towns with port facilities: La Paz, Loreto and San Jose del Cabo on the Peninsula, and Topolobampo and Guaymas on mainland Mexico’s Pacific coast. A third cruise vessel, Lindblad Expedition’s 62-passenger Sea Bird, also sails here in January and February, exploring Baja’s virgin beaches. But only Un-Cruise Adventures goes off the grid, leading shore expeditions to deserted bays and coves ‘in country,’ places like Ensenada Grande, Bahia Aqua Verde, Espiritu Santo and El Cardonal. We’d expected to spend that day on shore, wandering along the beach, looking for shells and driftwood, snorkeling among the rocks, looking for angelfish, emerald wrasse, sea horses and even sea turtles. Some passengers planned to kayak across the bay; the Endeavour’s technosavvy, storage-and-

launch rack (nicknamed the “pickle fork”) lowers the 20 two-man kayaks to the water level for easy loading. Other passengers had signed up for the guided hike through the brush-and cactus forest that looks like a desert but isn’t. “We’ll be exploring what scientists call a ‘low elevation deciduously-treed jungle,’” promised naturalist and hike leader Paulino Perez during the previous evening’s slide show. But with choppy seas and heavy surf, beach landings were put on hold. So I stood by the rail instead, searching for leviathans. Sperm whales and grey whales, humpbacks and blues, even fin whales and giant whale sharks frolic in these protected blue waters, “the world’s aquarium,” according to marine biologist and diver Jacques Cousteau, who labeled the region the Galapagos of

North America. Idling near the rocky pinnacles called Los Islotes we spotted pods of dolphins, sea lion colonies sunning, and brown pelicans and blue-footed boobies jockeying for sunny perches. But the week’s highlight was the shore tour to Magdalena Bay, on Baja’s Pacific Coast, to see the migrating grey whales. “Tomorrow we’re heading for the historic village of Loreto, where you’ll have two options,” said expedition leader Mark Hopkins. “You can spend the day there, touring the old Mission church, or shopping. Or you can join the bus tour to Magdalena Bay on the Peninsula’s Pacific Coast, to see where the migrating grey whales spend Tthe winter months. They come in February and March to breed and give birth,” he said. An obvious choice, I thought, signing up for Magdalena Bay. The drive was long, two hours on a continuously winding road. But by mid-morning we and 40-odd other travelers were there, seated in four large pangas and motoring slowly across the lagoon. At first, the lagoon seemed empty, the whales gone. But just as we’d decided the trip was a bust, a mottled hump silently broke the surface nearby. Then a second shiny wet back emerged with a calf by her side. As the day warmed, so did the whales, rolling sideways to inspect us with one eye and “spy hopping” straight up between the pangas for a 360-degree look-around. A few whales slid next to the panga, as if courting the touch of a human hand. Whales were everywhere, gently cruising, rising, breathing and diving. Whaled out, we were ready for lunch by 1 o’clock, served at a local cafe that offered plates heaped with chicken enchiladas, tacos, rice, beans, chili verde, sliced mangoes and a fresh 9green salad, served with a soda or beer.

How much leeway does a ship captain have in a place like the Gulf, where the itinerary can be flexible, I wondered. Was the Magdalena Bay tour available on a day’s notice? “It’s rarely a problem,” said Russell. “That’s what I like about out-of-theway places like the Sea of Cortes. The big cruise ships depend on stopping at ports with facilities, the docks, tour buses, guide services and shops. They have to go where they’re expected. But here in Baja

we get to decide when and where to anchor and what to do that day. It’s the kind of flexibility that Un-Cruise cultivates. Three years ago, Un-Cruise Adventures was a minor player. A small Alaska-oriented outfit, its four ships sailed under two names: Inner Sea Discoveries (active expedition trips) and American Safari Cruises (luxury yachts). Growing was a someday topic that was never seriously pursued. Then Cruise West, Alaska’s oldest and

best-loved cruise line, announced it was going out of business and selling its fleet of expedition-style ships. “The vessels were already right there, in Alaska, and they came on the market at the right price,” said Un-Cruise spokesperson Sarah Scoltock. “It was a matter of being in the right place at the right time.” When the purchase was complete, the com-

Cadillac SRX measures up in luxury CUV segment Jim Robinson CONVTRIBUTOR

One of the hidden gems in the GM lineup is the 2013 Cadillac SRX luxury compact CUV and for a number of reasons besides price. It competes with Lexus RX, Audi Q5 and BMW X3. But when you consider the starting price of $42,145 (including $1,650 shipping fee) for the front-drive, it costs significantly less. But what amazes me is the stowage capabilities beginning with its unique Cargo Management System that is centred on a U-Rail track system/adjustable cargo fence that partitions off the cargo compartment. A solid, aluminum fence slides around the

track and can be removed, retracted and stowed under the cargo floor when not in use. An optional cargo net, organizer or area divider may be used in place of the tubular fence. Four steel loops positioned in each corner of the compartment provide convenient connection points for nets or bungee cords. Topping that off is a two-position cargo shade that keeps everything hidden when the rear liftgate is closed. But wait, there’s more! Each SRX door has upper and lower bins, as well as the glove compartment which is also cooled when the air conditioning is on. The centre console See Cadillac B2

THE 2013 SRX retains Cadillac’s edgy signature styling while incorporating some of the advanced safety technology from the XLS and ATS sedan in a compact luxury crossover package.

in front of that is a smaller cubbie expressly for cellphones. The liftgate is programmable and offers 839 litres (29.6 cu ft) behind the second row 60/40 split/fold seats and 1,733 litres (61.2 cu ft) with the seats flat. The SRX has been around for a number of years now, but it still hasn’t lost that Cadillac edgy styling which sets the brand apart from everything else on the road by borrowing a number of design cues from the new XLS and ATS sedans. And adapted from the new sedans is advanced safety technology starting with Cadillac’s new Driver Awareness and Driver Assist technology packages. These include Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Cadillac’s Safety Alert Seat technology, Automatic Front and Rear Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control all using radar and other technologies to help avoid collisions. I recently briefly drove the new SRX during a fleet preview that had all GM’s products available from the zippy little Chev Sonic RS up to big heavy-duty commercial trucks and chassis cabs. Maybe because it has been around since 2009, but I noticed the SRX was kind of sitting off by itself, so I raced over to drive it. Tested here is the SRX4 which means it is AWD. Both variants are powered by GM’s 3.6-litre DOHC V6 producing 308 hp and 265 lb/ ft of torque through a sixspeed automatic transmission. Using regular fuel consumption is 12.7/8.3L/100 km city/ highway for the FWD and 13.2/8.8L/100 km city/ highway for the AWD. The 3.6-litre is a known quantity and used in just about everything GM makes. It is powerful, moderately good on gas and GM mechanics tell me it is easy to work on, which is always good news. With the transparent shifting of the transmission, GM has honed this pair into a smooth functioning unit. The interior has that Cadillac touch with the use of rich woods and leathers in a variety of hues that impart a true luxury car look and feel. At the centre of the cabin, literally, is the Cadillac CUE (Cadillac User

MOTORING ▼ ACURA ILX DYNAMIC

A little luxury, a little sport, a little techno

r -

Rob Beintema lCONTRIBUTOR h There are still a few mwinding stretches of road ethat defy the usual urban -grid pattern, where drivming becomes fun again Sinstead of just another bothersome chore enroute to a day at work. d The stubby little shiftger snicked forward with a smooth click, dropping rthe tranny into a lower -gear, encouraging an exhaust note that was reson-ating with a lovely baritone moan as the ILX held cits line and carved unerringly through the long lcurve. r If you closed your deyes (maybe not exactly advisable during cornering), you’d swear you awere in a sports car indstead of Acura’s premium -compact sedan. The ILX serves as a gateway to the Acura lbrand and there’s something quintessentially sCanadian about entry-lux,ury vehicles and the comspromises made—a little luxury but not too much, a little sport, a few extra techno bits and just enough brand cachet, swhile holding the line sat a starting price under -$30,000. /

Indeed, Acura first explored the entry-luxury level here with the Canada-only EL and its follow-up CSX before evolving the 2013 ILX model that was aimed more broadly across the growing markets of North America and Mexico, as well as China. Like its EL and CSX predecessors, the ILX builds on the foundation of the Honda Civic but that steady evolution of design and technology continues to broaden the separation between the two models. ILX exterior design features a longer hood than the Civic, a shift in “A” pillar placement, a steeper rake to the windshield, a shortened rear deck and uniquely angular body components. And inside a refined interior shows upscale fit and finish, instrumentation shared with the TL, and other purely Acura influences. The ILX also comes in three flavours that reflect a trio of distinctly different powertrain choices. The base model ILX comes with a 2.0-litre

THE Acura ILX Dynamic, an entry-level luxury compact that adds a performance edge to its sophisticated design with a 201 hp 2.4-litre DOHC engine mated to a six-speed manual shifter. Even with its sport attitude, the ILX Dynamic elects for sophistication with Acura styling accents, smooth lines, LED lighting and discreet exhaust. ROB BEINTEMA/CONTRIBUTOR

And the ILX nimble driving characteristics get an assist from an array of dynamic technologies that include 4-channel ABS disk braking, Drive-ByWire throttle system, Hill Start Assist and a Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) system, to name just a few. But we should emphasize that the ILX Dynamic, while a pleasure to drive, comes only with a close-ratio six-speed manual transmission, so it is aimed squarely at the sport enthusiast. And it’s loud. Delightfully so, in my opinion. My colleague Jim Robinson drove the ILX Premium Package at the vehicle launch event and remarked on how quiet

For 2014, the ILX will get upgraded 17-inch alloy wheels, a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera and High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights standard for a starting price of $27,990 (up $200 from 2013). The 2014 ILX Premium will list for $30,190 (up $200) and the 2014 ILX Technology starts at $31,990 (down $300). The 2014 ILX Hybrid will list for $35,190 (up $200). And the 2014 ILX Dynamic will be bolstered significantly with Technology Package additions including the Acura Navigation System with Bilingual Voice Recognition controls and the 365watt ELS surround sound system, bumping the overall price to $31,990 (up $2,000). The Acura ILX Dynamic promises to add a little spice to the daily commute with a performance edge and emphasis that matches up nicely with the content and comforts of a well-rounded entry-luxury, premium compact sedan.

Experience) that is standard on the 2013 SRX. CUE is one of the new breed of infotainment/ navigation systems that integrates everything you need to connect to the outside world. For instance, CUE blends Bluetooth-enabled mobile devices, USBs, SD cards and MP3 players that Cadillac says, “reduces complexity through customized information, voice commands and fewer buttons and larger icons”. Cadillac also says CUE can accommodate everyone from, “the “simple user” to the fully connected “super user.” Armed with nothing more (nor do I want more) than a yestertech flip phone, CUE can be daunting for new users like me. All is accessed by an eight-inch LCD multitouch sensitive screen with proximity sensing and haptic feedback. When the home page opens, it approximates the look of a tablet. To get what you are after, it means swiping, pinching or spreading the icons smartphone style. I still haven’t been able to adjust volume up or down by passing my finger along a touch bar, but I did the get the hang of programming the Navi, although I still prefer On-

Star for that. Another thing I discovered is the CUE screen is motorized and opens to reveal a hidden cubbie for phones and it also includes an illuminated USB port. Right now the luxury compact CUV is probably the fastest growing segment here and definitely in Europe, as I just witnessed at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The 2013 Cadillac SRX certainly meets (and some ways such as utility) rivals others in this market, making it a serious contender in its segment.

CADILLAC SRX 2013

Body Style: Compact luxury crossover. Drive Method: frontor all-wheel drive. Engine: 3.6-litre DOHC V6 (308 hp, 265 lb/ft of torque). Fuel Economy: (Regular) FWD, 12.7/8.3L/100 km city/ highway; 13.2/8.8L/100 km city/highway for the AWD. Cargo: 839 litres (29.6 cu ft) behind the second row; 1,733 litres (61.2 cu ft) with the seats flat. Tow Rating: (with tow option) 3500 lb (1587 kg) Price: Base FWD $42,145 including $1,650 shipping fee Web Site: www.cadillac.gm.ca

CANEVARO, PHYLLIS WANDA Passed away on October 13, 2013 at the age of 81 years. She is survived by her son Dana (Edie), daughter Renee, sisters Dianne and Florence, her 8 much loved grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. A leader by example, Phyllis lived her life with strength, passion, intelligence and high principles. Phyllis was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and grew up as a hard working prairie girl. She remained a prairie girl all her life and often happily returned to the old “homestead” and to Dana’s farm for family visits. She married John Canevaro in 1949 in Saskatchewan and that union produced 3 wonderful children. John and Phyllis moved to Kelowna in 1969 and were active residents in Casa Loma for several years. Phyllis possessed a deep interest in history, science, physics, archeology, politics and ancient civilizations. To that end her travels included treks to Mayan ruins in Mexico and Egypt. However, Phyllis’s greatest passion was her family and she dedicated her life to them. She tragically lost her son Wesley in 1976 and her husband John in 1978. Both losses were life changing events. A private family interment was held for Phyllis at Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery on October 18th. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com and searching her name under “Stories”. Special thanks to the Central Okanagan Hospice House for its wonderful care of Phyllis in her last weeks.

To Thine Own Self Be True A Celebration of Life was held for long time Kelowna resident Kim Calloway on September 6th at the Kelowna Community Theatre. Kim passed away August 22nd at Kelowna General Hospital following a brief battle with lung cancer, which had spread to his liver. He died just eight days after being diagnosed with cancer. Kim was 69. A well known national radio broadcaster, Kim was born July 30, 1944 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Kim was the eldest of three children of Vern and Ruth Calloway. He was predeceased by Mother Ruth, (April 2013) father Vern (1989) and sister Rainy (2010). Kim is survived by his loving fiancée Arlene McClelland, sister Rev. Sharon Calloway Bledsoe of Jupitar, Florida; nieces and nephews Darcy Bledsoe, Tarsch Bakos, Skyler Bledsoe, Shara Bakos, Amber (Bakos) Bergrren and Melodie Birkenbach. Following many years working as a popular radio broadcaster at CHUM FM in Toronto, ON, as well as host of the Kim Calloway Talk Show CKWX Vancouver mid 1970s-80s; Kim relocated to Kelowna in 1992 and joined radio station CKOV now known as Q103-1 and Power 104. One of Kim’s many accomplishments was the co-recipient of the Jack Webster Award for Best Reporting of the Year for Kelowna Firestorm 2004. During his many years of radio he worked with or interviewed a number of well known celebrities including interviews with John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Kim was the consummate community supporter both in his work and personal life, constantly taking part in community fundraising events and supporting various events which benefited non-profit organizations within the area. Last year he co-hosted the 8th Annual Night of the Arts concert supporting homeless and those dealing with drug addiction. During his spare time Kim was an accomplished singer/songwriter/guitar player with a particular love for playing folk and blues and loved to perform before an audience. His final performance was Aug.11 at Gyro Park in Kelowna. Aside from music Kim also was a car enthusiast, and in the 1990’s he edited and published monthly Calloway’s Old Car Enthusiast Newsletter. He was especially fond of the vintage vehicles. He also had a deep fascination and love of old war planes and last summer in Seattle Kim enjoyed a ride in a 1944 bi-plane open-cockpit Boeing PT-17. Another of Kim’s passions was his love and skill with photography and he took many interesting photos over the years. He also loved movies and knew just about everything there was to know about them. A witty, charming, and gracious man Kim was very popular with co-workers and fans. Kim was full of life and looked forward to many more adventures after retiring from broadcasting. Key focus in his immediate future plans was marrying fiancée Arlene McClelland. While we grieve his loss deeply, we are lifted and inspired by the memories he has given us. Following his mother’s death in April of this year Kim wrote, “Her long journey is over, reflected best in one of her favourite sayings borrowed from the ancient Greeks -- ‘to die young, as late in life as possible’.” That saying is equally fitting for Kim. Should family and friends so desire, memorial donations may still be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Market seeing Tips on how to reduce the utility bills educated buyers and sellers ▼ SAVING ENERGY

Most people carefully watch their time and money, making sure neither is wasted on unnecessary activities or expenses. In an effort to be more green and economical, why not also consider how your home’s energy is used and how to prevent it, too, from being wasted? Follow these energy-saving tips from Sally Morse, director of creative services for window treatment manufacturer Hunter Douglas, to conserve your home’s resources and your pocketbook as well: 1. Insulate common energy-loss areas The fastest and most cost-effective way to reduce energy dollars is to seal air leaks. Find these energy vacuums by holding a lit incense stick on a breezy day near doors, fixtures and windows.

If the smoke travels toward the areas rather than vertically, you’ve found a leak. Once identified, simply seal holes by using caulk, spray foam or weather strips. Also, be sure to remove air-conditioning units in the fall and winter or use an insulated jacket on the exterior, as these appliances invite drafts. 2. Watch the windows Windows can account for up to 25 per cent of utility bills by leaking heat in the winter and cool air in the summer. To help prevent this, and for a functional and fashionable addition to the home, opt for highly energy-efficient Duette Architella honeycomb shades, which feature an insulating ‘honeycomb-within-a-honeycomb’ design that traps air. Certain Duette

Architella shades can reduce heat loss through windows by up to 40 percent in winter and solar heat gain through windows by up to 80 percent in the summer. New Duette Architella Trielle honeycomb shades provide similar light transmission as original shades, but with 20 percent more energy efficiency. They add an additional cell within a honeycomb cell, creating five separate air pockets for insulation. 3. All-star accessories and appliances When purchasing items that consume energy—everything from light bulbs to appliances —look for the Energy Star label. This label ensures you are purchasing an item that will help save money and help protect the environment.

4. Clean and green Being clean can go a long way when it comes to your home’s energy efficiency. By simply keeping certain appliances in the best working condition, you can save on energy costs. Start by servicing and cleaning your gas or oil furnace at least once a year and change or clear out furnace filters once a month during the heating season. Wipe or replace filters on air conditioners monthly or as recommended and do the same with warm-air registers, baseboard heaters and radiators as needed. Also, clean the lint screen in the laundry dryer after every load to increase air circulation and help prevent fire hazards. 5. Adjust when away and by time of day

If you’re not at home, cut down on utility bills by investing in a programmable thermostat that lets you set temperatures by time of day. And, to adjust your motorized window coverings, Hunter Douglas has created a free Platinum App that allows you to precisely position a single window treatment, or position all of the window treatments in one room, or even all of them in the home for optimal privacy, security, energy management and mood. Follow these simple tips and you’ll be doing more than saving on utility bills. You’ll be increasing the interior comfort and convenience of your home while helping to conserve the earth’s precious resources. More information is available online at www. hunterdouglas.ca.

▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

Assumable and portable mortgage options Assumable and portable mortgages can be a very advantageous tool to help sell your home. Both offer the opportunity to avoid the added expense of an interest penalty caused by breaking your mortgage before the term has expired. A portable mortgage will offer you the opportunity to take your mortgage to another property preserving a lower mortgage rate if interest rates go up. As well, you will avoid any interest penalty in closing out your mortgage. Some lenders allow you up to six months between paying off your existing mortgage and porting to a new one.

You must, at the time of porting, qualify for the new mortgage and the property you are purchasing must meet the lender’s requirements. If you require additional funds at the time of port, the mortgage rate can be blended—the existing mortgage amount will remain at your current rate with no penalty charged and the new funds calculated at the current rate. This is called a blended mortgage. In the case of reducing your mortgage you would only pay the prepayment penalty on the amount you are paying down. There are also situations when porting your mortgage may not

be the best option for you. If current rates are lower than your existing rate taking the interest penalty into consideration of course it may be in your best interest to negotiate a new mortgage. If you are now in a position to qualify for a mortgage with terms more favourable than the porting mortgage interest penalty considered, you might be better off with a new mortgage. As well, your current lender may not offer the right type of mortgage for you at that time. An assumable mortgage means that your mortgage can be transferred to the buyer of your home and the buyer then assumes

all responsibility for repayment. The buyer does have to qualify with the original lender and the lender must agree to the transfer. The lender may also charge an assumption fee. An assumable mortgage can make a property more desirable to a purchaser if interest rates have risen and your mortgage rate is lower than current rates.

ith the media echoing the warning flares from Ottawa regarding the housing market across Canada, one has to wonder when and if these concerns will ever be resolved without the constant fear and reminder that our economy is still at risk. Although in the Central Okanagan inventory is remaining low, buyers are still shopping, sale prices are starting to see stable REAL ESTATE ground and there seems to RUNDOWN be light at the end of our tunnel. The federal government seems to have a different view on the econCeinwen omy. “While the moMorgan mentum for sales activity began improving a few months ago, it may be losing steam after having just climbed back in line with an average of the past 10 years,” said Gregory Klump, chief economist with the Ottawa-based Canadian Real Estate Association, which represents about 100 real estate boards across the country. Canadians have been told for the past couple of years that low interest rates are the culprit for accumulating too much debt in individual households. On Wednesday, Oct. 16, Mr. Dauphin, the mayor of the Montreal borough of Lachine, stated: “Housing costs and, as the Bank of Canada notes, household debt, are undermining Canadians personal financial security, while putting our national economy at risk.” Mortgage debt held by Canadians now stands at a whopping $1.1-trillion. It has been stated by the Canadian Housing and Renewal Association that one-quarter of Canadians are over their affordability limit. On the up side to these warning messages streamed from Ottawa, buyers are now becoming more and more aware of their financial situation and starting to educate themselves with the market trends. Sellers are realizing as well over the past few years that today we are in a new time, there is no longer buyers banging down their door with competing offers on their home without proper exposure and that the days of selling their home privately have come and gone. David Madani, an economics with Capital Economics noted: “More prospective sellers are using the much larger MLS network than the smaller private network.” “ If you’ve got more people using the MLS, presumably you would be talking more sales. In a down market, you need greater exposure to sell your property.” Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.
