It’s been four months since Kelowna Pacific Railway went into receivership and the Central Okanagan lost all rail service. For a good sector of the business community it means profit margins will slip right off the tracks. Jennifer Smith reports on the efforts to save the line, its problems and the opportunity it presents for tourism.

CLOSE-UP
Time running out to save rail line
Jennifer Smith
STAFF REPORTER
T
here is one month and three days remaining to save the Canadian National Railway line from being sold in the wake of the Kelowna Pacific Railway collapse. An interim injunction to force CN to open the line from Kelowna to Vernon has failed. “Last week, we learned that the Canadian Transportation Agency turned down our request…seeking to restore service immediately,” said Barry Penner, a former provincial Liberal cabinet minister. Based out of Vancouver, Penner filed the injunction with the CTA as part of an appeal to try and block CN, which owns the tracks, from selling the line. CN has started the discontinuance process that could see first right of purchase as early as Dec. 3. Working on behalf of Ashland Chemicals, a small division of the Fortune 500 company with just 35 employees, Penner says his client could be forced to leave the Okanagan without the trains. “If you lose this line, you will not get rail transport back in the Central Okanagan,” he said.
Bringing in the chemicals and products needed to make things like fibreglass and plastic polymers, Ashland supplies the products for Campion Boats, here in Kelowna, to build its luxury yachts. Kohler Canada, in Armstrong, needs its materials to produce its bathtubs, showers and bathroom fixtures. And FormaShape: 3D Architectural Design in Winfield works with Ashland in its waterslide component and gas station canopy outfit. Ashland is also the reason there is now a node of the Composites Research Network at UBC Okanagan. Unbeknownst to many people living in the region, this area has become a key manufacturing niche for composites with at least a dozen manufacturing businesses. Bottom line, the loss of rail transportation could mean 500 to 600 job losses, according to the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters. “If one key business fails, so (could) many others as their supply chain is further disrupted,” said Marcus Ewert-Johns, CME vice-president, in a letter to Mayor Walter Gray and Kelowna city council.

Manufacturing in B.C. is on dicey ground as it is, Ewert-Johns explains, pointing to the re-introduction of the Provincial Sales Tax, loss of tax credits geared at light industry, increasing property taxes and B.C.’s carbon tax as stressors. At UBCO, the news has yet to trickle down. Abbas Milani, UBCO engineering professor working with the composites network, has not heard of fallout from their industry partners. It stands to reason that if Ashland disappears and some of the technical companies pull out of the area, the research node and all of its potential for developing new, innovative products—like aerospace parts—could be in danger as well, according to Penner. But there is a difficult flip-side to Penner’s pitch. The rail line is in enough disrepair that it’s curbed the line’s customer base. While Penner says he’s heard quotes from independent rail providers interested in contracting on the line that peg the repairs as low as $3 million, CN’s figures don’t align. CN says the short corridor needs $10 million in upgrades; although, it’s hard to verify the sum. Transport Canada can
Barry Penner only confirm annual inspections on the line met the Railway Safety Act right up until KPR shut down in July. No matter what the price tag, the state of the tracks is a key issue, according to Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan. He has been in on several industry and inter-governmental meetings on the railway and says he understands customers were pulling out because the trains had to run so slowly Kelowna Pacific wasn’t able to keep pace with industry needs. “It got so decrepit the train could only go 10-kilometres an hour,” said Cannan. A quick run through the railway’s customer list seems to confirm what he says. From Superior Pro-

COs investigate poaching incidents Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
There’s no tolerance for drinking while driving, even on backroads, and particularly not with a loaded firearm, warn conservation officers. One hunter was stopped twice by officers east of Kelowna Thursday for drinking while driving. The first time was at 9:30 a.m. and he was ticketed for having open liquor in his vehicle. The second time his firearms were confiscated for 24 hours. There have also been a high number of incidents of loaded firearms in vehicles. Inspector Barb Leslie commented, “Loaded firearms in vehicles is just not acceptable. It’s a very serious safety issue. They must be unloaded when you get into a vehicle.” As well, she said it’s vital that hunters be alert and not drink alcohol while using either vehicles or firearms. Finally, she said if a hunter shoots an animal that is not in sea-

son, for whatever reason, it’s important that they report their error as soon as possible, rather than wait for conservation officers to track them down. CO Ken Owens reports that six or seven moose have been poached in this area in the past couple of weeks, along with a number of deer and a couple of elk. If you have any information regarding illegal activity, call the tollfree Report All Polluters and Poachers line at: 1-877-952-7277. In particular, he investigated a three point moose that was shot and left in the Jackpine Lake area last Saturday, on the Gorilla Forest Service Road. The road has been deactivated to prevent vehicles from using it about the 30 km marker, and the animal was found about 10 km further, so a quad likely was used to there, he said. Owens said they retrieved evidence from the site, after the illegal kill was reported later that day. Only spike fork bull moose are in season for hunting. CO Terry Myroniuk said two
moose have also been shot illegally in the Tadpole Lake area in the past week or so. One was self-reported and the other is under investigation. It was discovered between Tadpole Lake and where Sandberg Main forks off Whiterocks Main on Oct. 22 and it’s believed it was shot Oct. 19 or 20. It was a three point moose and the meat was taken. Anyone with any information which might help is asked to call the RAPP line. He’s also concerned about the number of Mule deer does shot and left, likely because the hunters midtook them for White-tailed does, which there is an open season on. However, he said Mule deer populations can’t handle the losses of such mistakes, so it’s important that hunters learn to identify the differences between the two species of deer before going out. He said he’s given out three 24hour suspensions for drinking and another for drug use. In addition, there have been complaints about illegal night hunting and vandalism on private property.

Railway dilemma is ‘a tough nut to crack’ Tracks from A3
pane to Knox Mountain Metals to Tolko, many businesses said they no longer used the railway or were well prepared to move to truck transport when the collapse finally came. One of the main customers, Tolko, adjusted to truck transportation immediately, sending lumber over the Coquihalla Highway route. The company was a key component to getting the line reinstated north of Vernon. The former KPR stretch from Campbell Creek, east of Kamloops, through Lumby will reopen. CN has agreed to take over, provided Tolko stays on as a customer. It has not agreed to do so for the line from Kelowna to Vernon, Cannan said. And there is one more economic factor to consider. On the other side of the fence are those who want to see the line purchased to be used as a recreational corridor with vast tourism potential. The City of Kelowna has spent the last half dozen years working toward a Rails-with-Trails pro-
ject, which stalled after the first phase of development because CN became nervous of having pedestrians and cyclists so close to the rail line. Were the tracks to disappear, it would obviously open the door for the city to purchase the land and complete the critical recreational artery. However, the municipality is very concerned about the business impact as well, said Paul Macklem, general manager of corporate sustainability with the City of Kelowna. Describing the case to find another rail operator to take over the rail road as “a tough nut to crack,” Macklem noted the city is looking at possible partnerships that might be available with the provincial or federal government if the rail line goes up for sale. Just what that might look like remains behind closed doors, though light rail, the cycling corridor and possible connections to other wider, possibly even national, trail networks have all hit the news. An Okanagan College economics professor has even set up a website ad-

▼ LAKE COUNTRY
Court ruling a blow for remote control aircraft club members
Kevin Parnell
STAFF REPORTER
The Supreme Court of B.C. has ruled in favour of the District of Lake Country in a court case between the municipality and the Kelowna Ogopogo Radio Controller’s Association,
whose members had been flying remote control aircraft in Lake Country for the past several years. The court ruled the club was in contravention of a DLC bylaw and has issued an injunction to restrain the operation of model aircraft on pri-
vate land which is protected under the Agriculture Land Reserve. “We’re pleased our interpretation was upheld,” said Lake Country Mayor James Baker. “It’s unfortunate it had to go to court but model aircrafts were never considered as something that could be used on agricul-
ture land.” Baker said the municipality did initially approve the use of the land for the model aircraft club, but soon after realized that decision was in error and revoked its landuse permit, asking the club to apply for a temporary permit and work to find a solution.

That forced the club to move to Lake Country but this latest court ruling has put its future in doubt. “I don’t know what we will do now,” said Davis. “As far as I could tell we weren’t harming anything. Finding a suitable location in the valley is next to impossible with all the urban sprawl.”

ating legally on the land and the bylaws were only changed once the district received complaints. The model aircraft club has about 75 members and has been in operating since 1977 in the Okanagan. “We have members from age five up to 90. For some of these guys, it’s their only reason for getting up in the day,” he said. “It’s the only thing they do. For a lot of our members it’s heartbreaking.” The model aircraft club began in the late 1970s near Sexsmith Road, was then forced to

According to Baker, the club continued to operate on the land and the DLC was forced to take the matter to court. Kelowna Radio Controller’s Association (KORCA) president Todd Davis says its a disappointing judgement that is hitting the 75-member club hard. “When we moved (to Lake Country) everything fit within the zoning bylaws and Lake Country gave us full approval,” said Davis. “But then the neighbour started to complain and things changed.” Davis said the club believed they were oper-

Skilled trades opportunities a focus for college career fair If all the focus on a skills gap has you wondering how you can take advantage of the changing labour climate, joining Okanagan College at its 32nd annual Career Fair could be just the right move to find answers about training requirements, educational paths, job opportunities and industry expectations. From carpentry to health care, engineering technology to writing and publishing, the Okanagan College Career Fair will offer insights and opportunities about careers and educational paths. It’s free and open to the public on Sunday, Nov. 3, from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Kelowna campus. Among the 50 exhibitors on display with information about careers, education and training,
for instance, will be representatives from the Skilled Trades Employment Program (STEP), which operates under the British Columbia Construction Association. “We’re coming to Career Fair for a couple of reasons,” explained Kathy Wallis, STEP regional manager for the Southern Interior. “One of our main goals is to connect workready skilled tradespeople to jobs. We work with employers on a provincial scope and help meet the needs of both job-seekers and employers. “We are also at Career Fair to help answer questions about the current labour market and the opportunities that exist. “There is a lot of talk these days about the skills shortage and we can help anyone considering a ca-
reer in the skilled trades develop a better understanding of where the shortages are and can provide advice on the right training to prepare for the opportunities.” Just a short walk around the Kelowna campus will allow visitors to Career Fair to explore a wide variety of career op-
tions and the training and education they require. “All of our trades shops will be open and we’ll have demonstrations going on all day,” explained Randy Werger, associate dean of trades and apprenticeship. “We’re doing something new this year— we’re calling it Ask a

Most of us are mature enough to consume alcohol responsibly
To the editor: My wife and I are longtime residents of B.C., but we recently returned from an over three-year stay in Germany, where I taught at an international school. We lived in Hannover, a city of 500,000. There, the rules concerning alcohol are much different. They are, in a word, mature. Alcohol (wine, beer, spirits) can be purchased at any grocery store in the city. Beer gardens are open (no fences, no restrictive signs) and entire families with children of any age are free to enter and to order. Apparently, the powers that be have decided that the parents can order alcoholic drinks and food, while their children can order non-alcoholic drinks and food, and eat and drink side by side in a public place. Gee, that sounds just like being at home. People can buy a beer and carry it on the streets or onto the tram and consume it in public.

Perils of an ‘entitlement state’
W
ith the B.C. and federal governments once again struggling to climb out of deep operating deficits, it’s a good time for the release of Mark Milke’s book Tax Me, I’m Canadian. An update of the same title published 12 years ago, the book retains the history of taxes in Canada, detailing how Canada’s tax system was initially built to mimic the United States system in the late 19th century. Beyond the history, it is mostly new material. Included are chapters on the global meltdown of 2009, the surge of pension liabilities as the baby boomers retire and the flawed logic behind the “Occupy” and “Idle No More” pro-
tests. Some readers will immediately note that Milke works for the Fraser Institute and was previously B.C. director of the Canadian TaxTom payers’ Federation. But Fletcher the book is not just an argument for cutting taxes. It also dismantles persistent myths that income taxes are illegal, and launches a broadside on what Milke calls “Canada’s corporate welfare carnival.” Many people will be able to identify some top names in the government subsidy game: Bombardier, General Motors, even poor old Rolls Royce Canada. Some will also be well aware that our supposedly tight-fisted Conservative federal government has con-

tinued to pour out “regional development” and other funds to every part of the country. But I did not know that Industry Canada grants were handed out to pizza parlours (including the remote pizza-starved village of Kamloops), or to help open gas stations or convenience stores in Kelowna, Vernon and Chilliwack. Milke makes a useful point for B.C. about royalty rates for timber, natural gas and other resources. They are resource rents, and if they are too high the tenants will move out. Reducing them isn’t a subsidy, especially if it leads to big revenue gains as B.C.’s unconventional shale gas incentives have done. On the Occupy movement: The infamous “one per cent,” who in Canada earn $250,000 a year or more, earned 10 per cent of all income and paid 20
per cent of all taxes in 2010. The bottom 73 per cent of tax filers paid just 17 per cent of all taxes. About a third paid no tax at all. On Idle No More: When Attawapiskat Chief Teresa Spence played to the F Ottawa media with her soup strike, former Liberal leader Bob Rae suggested t a nearby diamond mine should share more revenue. s Milke omits the substantial suph port and employment that mine pro- p vides, and glosses over the misguided e blockades that disrupted that and other fi job-creating enterprises. But he does t detail the disastrous effects of passive l resource wealth bestowed on impover- h ished aboriginal communities, and con- s trasts it with the success stories of re- t serves that build their own enterprises w p See Fletcher A11t

▼ ‘GREEDY’ UNIONISTS LOCKED OUT
BRENT EILERS
Cynical look at Fortis BC vs union To the editor: FortisBC is right. Their union is greedy. Why else would FortisBC’s electrical workers go without income for four months if they weren’t incredibly, extremely greedy? Clearly, FortisBC saying the union only cares about money is true, look at all them picketing in the cold on Enterprise and Benvoulin just collecting those fantastically huge imaginary paycheques. These union-types are ruining mom and pop companies like FortisBC; they have been for years. Because of these greedy union workers FortisBC’s profits are up 108 per cent since 2005, power outage times have been reduced, safety infractions have decreased, and customer satisfaction targets have been exceeded. Yet these workers still have the nerve to refuse a contract that will make them worse off. Typical. FortisBC only told their employees they
would be forced to work longer hours for less pay with a four-day work week. Sure, with less time at home on weekdays that would mean workers have to pay for additional childcare, but to pay for it they can just work more hours and see their kids on weekends. Problem solved. FortisBC also proposed a two-tier system for employees. Considering that FortisBC’s own industry survey shows their workers are already paid far below average—10.4 per cent below average for power line technicians—why shouldn’t new hires be paid even less and receive even fewer benefits? If wages are already going in the down direction, why turn the train around? Trains can’t even turn around. The electric utility also wants to force union members to work during all future labour disputes, but the typical greedy union refuses to accept that. What next? The union

Not long to wait for prize job from premier To the editor: Re: Ex-MLA Stewart Awarded Asia Trade Post, Oct. 29 Capital News. Now we know why Ben stepped down, it wasn’t because he wanted to be a nice guy and let Christy [Premier Clark] take his seat. It was to get something big in return
and here it is. Being named the new investment and trade commissioner for Asia. What a gig this is. Free trips to schmooze the Koreans, Japanese and Chinese into doing business with B.C. No doubt he will also promote his own winery while he’s there, after all
he was over there promoting the B.C. wine industry. With roughly the same pay he used to get, nice. Then the article goes on to state that Christy will be going on her own mission to Asia in November. Hopefully they travel together to save the taxpayer some cash.
She says she is following similar tours by Forestry Minister Steve Thomson and Natural gas Development Minister Rich Coleman. Why didn’t she go with them and save us some cash? Seems like a waste of cash to me, but then I’m just a simple taxpayer for the
government to fleece. Maybe there were,of or the Central and South Okanagan / Similkameen will be, some side trips taken that are to be on the www.unitedwaycso.com QT. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

Mature liquor laws won’t lead us to purgatory Liquor Laws A10 Has this led to rampant alcoholism, wild parties in the street, and multiple fights? No. But then, Europeans have been making and drinking alcoholic beverages for a long time, long before local and provincial and national governments, brought up in a rich tradition of puritanism (note definition of a puritan: Someone who is deathly afraid that somebody somewhere is having fun), have been able to enact and enforce strict and unrealistic laws about where to buy
and to consume any alcohol. (I should add that the German laws, as enforced rigorously by the German police, do not take drinking and driving lightly, as we did for so long in this province, and the overwhelming majority of Germans avoid mixing alcohol with driving for fear of hefty penalties.) My wife and I are in favour of mature, sane liquor laws. To those who say greater access to alcohol means greater consumption, we say that those who are determined to abuse alcohol have always
found ways to do it, no matter how restrictive the laws. To the consumers who like to purchase cold beer at a reasonable price, we say why should they have to drive to the U.S. to do this? We realize that we are, in many ways, an immature society, and that the sudden loosening of regulations could lead to some problems. But as an educator, my solution to any such concern is always that education is the key. If people are given the appropriate information at the appropriate
time to make the appropriate decisions, they will normally do that. There will always be those who ignore information at their peril, but they will do so regardless of the regulations. Must we continually penalize the large majority of responsible citizens because of the irresponsible minority with liquor laws designed to confound the immature along with all the rest of us? We would like to think that British Columbia is finally ready to end its position as the oldest teenager in the world of
alcohol. We would like to think that British Columbia is ready to look to Europe, a much older and wiser (in many ways) society for a blueprint for a new (old) attitude toward the sale and consumption of alcohol. We think it is long past the time to treat British Columbians as though most of us are adult and can behave responsibly where alcohol is concerned.
through hard work. On public sector pensions: Milke notes that historically, public employees traded higher wages for better benefits and job security. Now their wages are generally higher, and taxpayers have to cover their personal pension contributions (as a portion of those wages) as well as the employer contributions, plus the “defined benefit” pay-
out, which has to be subsidized far beyond what the pension fund can support. On the debt-financed welfare state, there are memorable observations, like this one: “For the record, the generous Quebec welfare state and its ostensibly more progressive model are paid for in part with the taxes of other Canadians; Quebec is merely the North American equivalent of Greece.”
The recent B.C. political crisis over adoption of the harmonized sales tax showed that there is too much emotion and too little knowledge about how taxes work. This book is a step towards addressing that. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalNews.com. Twitter:@tomfletcherbc tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Charlie Hodge Clearly little of which has garnered me a whole bunch of self-worth over the years—because once the cycle begins a whole bunch of negative gerbils jump on the wheel. I simply tend to hide it well. Bravado can baffle brains. I guess that’s part of the lie. Thankfully—there are a couple of things that help to counter balance all of that negativity. Recognition that I do have value; that as a person—despite my flaws, I am worthy. As well I am blessed in knowing I am surrounded by an amazing number of friends who know me for all my good and bad and pretty much love me just the same. They have helped me through addictions, depressions, hard times, and heartbreaks. In other words—I’ve had and have friends and family to pull me through. Some don’t.
Some have no one and/or nowhere to turn to. For them there are few candles in the night, shelters in the storm, arms to hold them. The world can be a lonely place—especially when you believe yourself invisible to others. When you constantly feel on the outside of things. It’s largely because of those people, those who struggle through day to day life, that Curtis Tulman and I began the Night of the Arts concert nine years ago. We wanted to put a face in front of the snug and sometimes smug people of Kelowna—and remind them that even in this lovely lotus land of the rich and richer—there are lots of folks who have little or nothing. There are many in our community who live on the street, in shelters, or on the couches of friends. Others find temporary shelter in jail or the hospital. Drug addiction, alcoholism, mental illness, or just plain financial disaster tends to be the main cause for our homeless population. Despite what many assume few folks actually

He stared at me with confusion and said, “Oh—I have a home. It’s called Kelowna. What I don’t have is a house to live in.” That shut me up quick. I first began to understand the street world as a young teen running away from home. Thankfully I actually had a home to return to. Later while hitchhiking and hanging around parts of Canada and the southern states I had my eyes further opened. Later, my involvement in music, and journalism really kicked in the reality of how vulnerable we can all actually be. The radical rock band Dr. Hook once coined a song called It’s One Step from the Jungle to the Zoo. It was a poignant way of reminding us that it does not take much to lose our freedom or have things simply fall apart around us. From a financial and
emotional side—I get that. More recently as a social advocate and a former city councillor my eyes were further bulged to the harshness of how life can be. The first Night of the Arts was an effort to assist the Bridge Youth and Family Services (then known as Okanagan Families) in raising awareness and funds to support the Iridian House—a detox facility for young people. Despite the efforts of many the provincial government pulled out is funding and the facility closed. That first concert however saw 13 different musical acts donate their time for the cause. What Curtis, I, and sound man extraordinaire John Adams thought was a simple one-time concert was launched into an on-going event. Since then more than 50 different performers have taken part, all of them from the Okanagan Valley raising thousands of dollars for the Bridge and more recently Metro Community. More important than the dollars, however, is the awareness that there are those among us who truly need help—and that you can make a difference. Aside from Curtis and John, a number of other people have been involved every year (or close to it) including musicians Deb Stone, Jim LeGuilloux, Scott Gamble, Gary Smyth, Corey Doak, artists Marion Krahn, Dave Stratten, Jim Krahn, Yvonne Moorish, theatre staff Randy Zahara and Roland Simmons, and volunteers Bernard Shelvey, Les Thompson, Todd Cargo, and Dennis Dandenau. Literally hundreds of other folks have helped out over the years making the Night of the Arts more about camaraderie and fellowship than anything else. This year, on Saturday, Nov. 16, the Night of the arts will feature the amazing Dirt Road Opera, Cowboy Bob, the Jimmy LeGuilloux Band, my dear friend Keith ‘Papa’ Thom, the talented bluegrass band The Trips, and, of course Deb Stone. Take note that this year the doors open at 5:30 p.m., the concert starts at 6:30 p.m. with admission by donation. I will see you there, I hope.

Do your bit to protect valuable wetlands TRAIL MIX
Judie Steeves Frogs, on the other hand, require water in which to spawn and for tadpoles to grow, but once they morph into adults, land near water is needed. Preserving wetlands is protecting biodiversity, from mosquitos to moose, sedges to spruce, ducks to damselflies. In the central Okanagan a number of wetlands have been given some protection in different ways: Rose Valley Pond in West Kelowna was purchased with the collaboration of a number of non-profit and government organizations at the insistence of the grassroots community and it is now part of a regional park; while Munson’s Pond in Kelowna is wholly-owned by the city as a future park and Redlich Pond is already a city park. Sibell Maude Roxby Bird Sanctuary was restored as a wetland in Kelowna, as was Ro-
tary Marshes, and both are well-used by both humans and wetland plants and critters along the city’s lakeshore. However, there are many wetlands that have been identified as sensitive areas, but other than that, they have no specific protection. Because the Okanagan climate is so dry, wetlands are particularly valuable yet they have been filled in and built on at an unprecedented rate in the past. Estimates are that as much as 90 per cent of the valley’s wetlands are gone. In an effort to turn this around, the Okanagan Basin Water Board, B.C. Wildlife Federation and Central Okanagan Regional District are collaborating with a number of other partners on an Okanagan Wetlands Strategy that involves you in helping to identify wetlands throughout the valley. Take just a few minutes to complete the survey: surveymonkey. com/s/okanagan_wetlands_strategy_phase1 A public meeting has also been tentatively set for Thurs., Nov. 28, at a location yet to be deter-

ery distinct sounds come from a healthy wetland, from the noisy quacking of ducks and geese communicating, to the background noise of frogs and the whir of insects such as dragonflies. And, all depend on each other and their habitat to complete their life cycle and to keep it all healthy—each in their own way. The most knowledgeable among humans don’t fully understand all the vital interconnections that keep a healthy swamp or bog, fen, pond or riparian area healthy. So once you begin to meddle in it, you could easily be destroying a link that will destroy it all in the end. Such webs of life occur on land as well, but the most-used and most vital habitat tends to be where land and water meet, because it’s a particularly valuable mix of land and water, sometimes varying from one to the other seasonally. Turtles, for instance, require land on which to lay their eggs, yet they live in the water, so they must have exactly the right sort of edge habitat to survive.

And man was it stressful for those of us judging. From the UBCO urban dance team, who managed to add backup entertainment and a show of incredible sportsmanship to nearly every performance, to the steady stream of sweat pouring down singer Jeff Piatelli’s brow, every performer pulled out all the stops.

Originally based out of Penticton, founders Annie Scott and Dustin McGifford took the stage with their new Kelowna-based drummer Joshua Ertman and got the entire room involved. From their polished black and red outfits, to Scott’s delightful, occasionally English-accent touched voice, they managed to take what was largely an evening of impressive performances and turn their moment to shine into an experience audience and performers alike could share. Chloe and Loewen took an equally unique approach with their string and guitar act, pulling those listening away from the bar atmosphere into the world of her beautiful voice.

Loewen’s cello seemed to trace Chloe’s vocal footprint as she ever so quietly drew their sound out to dance around the room in a performance you could never quite see coming and wouldn’t dare to turn away from, even for a moment. And for those who have watched Jeff Piattelli develop, perhaps caught him at the Kelowna Art Gallery’s parties or local music awards, his turn on the stage was quite the reward.

Yeah, yeah, yeah—the inappropriate twerking, the unwanted nakedness, and the constant off-putting grabbing herself controversies. I’ll leave that for the gutter press and titillating TV shows. On a strictly musical basis, Bangerz isn’t a bad recording and far better than expected. Lets not forget H. Montana (which is what Cyrus wants her fans to do) had a huge recording career and it left Cyrus with a big, big bank-full of money. But the thing is all about being there—at the top and in the limelight, proving your success “too high to come down” as Cyrus sings on Hands In The Air. And Cyrus has made her point with this album that has made its debut as the No.1 selling album in America. On Bangerz, Miley sings a few power ballads, oddly starting this disc with the moody Adore You, while her co-opting of hip hop is aided and abetted by some of the genre’s biggest luminaries with Pharrell, Nelly, Ludacris, Big Sean, Future and probably a few more I can’t make out in the barely legible liner notes. These guys can smell a cash cow when it is flashed in front of them, but again, these songs all stand up. Check out the interesting ska undertones of the pop/hip hop of 4X4 and the retro ’60s girl group of FU featuring French Montana where Cyrus sounds like Lesley Gore trying to riff off I Put A
Don’t miss it!
Bruce Mitchell Spell On You. And, surprisingly, there is a lot of spare productions here where Cyrus and crew tend toward understatement musically. Even the three bonus tracks on the Deluxe Edition wear well and are some of the better songs with the rootsy country hip hop of Rooting For My Baby and the Michael Jackson-inspired On My Own that wants to borrow the bass line from The White Stripes 7 nation Army. But only time will tell if this new version of Miley ex-Montana Cyrus will stay on top. C+

That collection had 19 tracks compared to this new 14-track CD title 20 which is the number of fhp_NANCY_ad_CAP_NEWS_oct_2013.indd 1 years ago that the group started, not the misleading number of tracks here.

However, this collection does have all their biggest hits including the early, energized street cred songs Hat 2 Da Back and Ain’t To Proud To Beg as well as their later sultry boudoir songs such as Creep, Waterfalls and Red Light Special.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago, We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

▼ CURLING
Scott on Olympic trail Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Kelly Scott and her Kelowna rink haven’t been getting the desired results on the ice early in the 2013-14 curling season. Still, none of it will matter if the local foursome can get into a zone next week in Kitchener. Scott, third Jeanna Schaeder, second Sasha Carter and lead Sarah Wazney are one of 12 rinks who will be in the Ontario city Nov. 5 to 10 for the Canadian Olympic pre-trials. The top two rinks from the event will advance to join six other teams for the final Olympic trials tournament, Dec. 1 to 8 in Winnipeg. Scott’s team has played in three World Curling Tour events this fall, qualifying in one and posting a 9-9 record overall. While the Scott rink hasn’t yet displayed the quality of curling that led it to a bronze medal at last
season’s Scotties Tournament of Hearts, the 36-year-old skip knows her rink is capable of finding its game at any moment. “We know we have the depth and foundation, the experience under our belts for these kinds of events, we feel we’re a team that can roll with the punches,” said Scott, the 2006 and 2007 Canadian women’s champion. “We’ve never been a team that’s been quick out of the gates, things seem to take a while before we start clicking. That hasn’t happened yet, so now would be a great time to put it all together. We’re excited to see what we can do.” Scott has been down the Olympic road before, losing a heartbreaking final at the trials in 2005, then competing again in 2009 when she went 1-6. The 2013 field will also feature former Olympians Shannon Kleibrink and Cheryl Bernard, ex-Canadian champ Amber Holland, along with
the likes of with Renee Sonnenberg, Crystal Webster and Val Sweeting, all rinks with the potential to lock up a berth to Winnipeg. “This field is very good, it’s hard to pick out two teams,” said Scott. “That’s what the World Curling Tour has done, it’s shown that any given weekend any team can do well if they get on a roll. You just have to go and hope to play your best and see what shakes out.” Scott will open play at the pre-trials on Tuesday, Nov. 2 against Mississauga’s Cathy Auld.
Morris/Cotter
The John Morris rink, featuring Vernon’s Jim Cotter, along with Ty Griffith and Rick Sawatsky from Kelowna, will be among the 12 rinks in the draw of the men’s Olympic pre-trials which also begin on Tuesday in Kitchener. Morris, a former Olympic champion with Kevin Martin, joined the
ANDREW KLAVER/CCA
KELOWNA’S Kelly Scott rink, seen here as Team B.C. at the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts, will be in
Kitchener next week for the Canadian Olympic curling pre-trials. The Scott team is (left to right): Sarah Wazney, Kelly Scott, Jeanna Schraeder and Sasha Carter. Okanagan-based rink this fall. While Morris calls the game, Cotter throws fourth rocks, just as he did in the past with the Pat Ryan and Bob Ursel rinks. “I prefer it actually,” Cotter said of throwing last rocks, while leaving the skipping duties to someone else. “I can con-
centrate more on making the shots and less on the stress of having to make those final decisions. Included in the field are former Canadian champ Brad Gushue, 2006 Olympic champ Brad Gushue and Manitoba’s Rob Fowler. Two of the 12 rinks will move on to the final eight-team Olympic trials Dec. 1 to 8
in Winnipeg. “It’s an extremely good field,” Cotter said. “Obviously, you’re going to need some breaks and make some big shots in a field like that. You also have to have fun with it, just try and treat it like another curling event.”” Since joining forces, the Morris rink has played in four World Curling
Tour events, qualifying in three of them. This weekend, Morris, Cotter, Griffith and Sawatsky will convene in Calgary for a 2 1/2 day training camp. The Calgary/Vernon/ Kelowna team will open play at the pre-trials on Tuesday night against the winner of Steven Laycock and Rob Rumfeldt.

Rockets visit northern rivals PG Cougars for twin bill Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
It’s a lengthy trek Zach Franko has made no fewer than seven times since first suiting up for the Kelowna Rockets in 2010. And while the eight-hour journey to Prince George can be somewhat mind-numbing, the 20-year forward insists there’s nothing bland about playing the hometown Cougars in
their own barn. “It’s not the most glamorous trip we make, that’s for sure, but they’re a good team and it’s a tough place to play,” said Franko, who has 13 points this season. “Not too many teams go in there and come out with four points, so that’s the challenge for us. They’re proud of their record at home, so we’re going to have to go in their and play our game to have success.” The Rockets will battle the B.C.
Division rival Cougars (7-8-1-2) twice this weekend, Friday and Saturday nights at CN Centre. Kelowna won the first and only meeting between the clubs 3-2 on Oct. 18 at Prospera Place. The Rockets (9-2-0-2) were successful on their last road trip, taking both ends of a weekend doubleheader from the Victoria Royals. With just two regulation losses in 13 games this season, Franko said the
Kelowna’s #1 Choice for Auto Glass
Rockets are pleased with their start but concedes there are still strides to be made—including with his own game. “It’s still early, only 13 games in but it’s nice that we’ve been able to find a way to get some wins and keep our record up their with the best teams,” said Franko, now in his fourth season with Kelowna. “But I also think it’s time for the older guys like me to step up and lead and I know we’re more than capable of doing
that.” The Rockets next home action is Wednesday, Nov. CN 6, their Centre first of four consecutive games at Nov. Prospera 1-2 Place.

Warriors’ Plant on Team West West Kelowna Warriors defenceman Adam Plant has made the final cut for the Team Canada West roster for this year’s World Junior A Challenge. The tournament takes place in Yarmouth, N.S. from Nov. 4 to 10. Plant is the latest Warriors player to be named to the team for the Junior A Challenge, joining former Warriors Grayson Downing and Seb Lloyd. Fellow Warriors David Pope, Ambrose Firkus and Lloyd didn’t
make the team but the Warriors contingent of four players at the tryout was an indication of the strength and depth of the West Kelowna team this year, which currently sits in first place in the BCHL Interior Division. “It’s a great honor to wear our maple leaf in international play,” said added Plant. “I’m looking forward to the next two weeks, and hopefully I can use this experience to better myself as a hockey player.” While Pope, Firkus

A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling.
ZACK SPENCER
Question
Rounding up and riding the RAM range
OF THE WEEK:
2014 RAM Roundup
What is it that appeals to you about the car?
The full-size truck market is big business for automakers and a big deal for the businesses and people who depend on them. For almost five decades the Ford F-150 has been the best selling truck, with little chance they will lose that crown in the near future. What has been happening, over the last few years, is a strong shift from General Motors to RAM in terms of establishing the second best selling truck brand. The rise in RAM popularity can be traced back to a few key changes over the last several years, from muscular styling to class-leading interiors, a refined ride, plus engine and transmission advancements. I drove the 2014 RAM model range recently, on a beautiful fall day, just outside of Toronto. The “RAM Roundup” was a great opportunity to get my hands on these new trucks well before they arrive at BC dealerships. Looks A big part of the RAM brand success has been built on the sturdy and macho exterior styling. Front and centre is a grille that was enlarged, but better integrated, for the 2013 model year. Depending on the trim the grille finish can be chrome, painted or with a different insert. This feature is one RAM owners love so, in this case, larger
is better. Behind the grille are “active shutters” that close at higher speeds to help send the wind around the vehicle to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The same idea was also behind the longer side step, which helps reduce buffeting down the side of the trucks. One option that I find fascinating, and would seriously consider, is the $1500 air suspension that can be lowered for easier entry into the RAM or loading into the bed. Plus this system automatically lowers over 100km/h to also reduce aerodynamic drag. At lower speeds and for off-road duties, the air suspension can be raised for better ground clearance. Having had a chance to drive several RAM trucks with this feature I notice the already smooth ride is even better and the cabin is further insulated from vibration. Inside In the past trucks were typically used for work. Today, trucks have grown in popularity because they can be rugged on a work site and luxurious for all occupants. Having driven the Ford and new GM trucks recently, I can easily say that RAM still has the lead in interior design and finish with the Chevrolet and GMC right behind. (Ford is looking dated but look for an all-new F-150 in 2015). The centre console can be equipped with an 8.3-inch Uconnect communications and entertainment screen. In addition, there is a large
7-inch screen behind the steering wheel for fully customizable instant information readouts. The dash and seats can be trimmed in leather typically found in luxury cars not long ago.

It isn’t about what a Corolla does, it’s about what a Corolla doesn’t do—stop working.

Toyota Corolla 2010 to 2012 More than 30 million Corollas had already been produced when an all-new a 10th-generation 2009 Toyota Corolla hit the streets with a new body and chassis, increased interior space, more power and a revised suspension system. It isn’t about what a Corolla does, it’s about what a Corolla doesn’t do—stop working. In fact, Corolla
could be a substitute for the word ‘durable’ in the dictionary. While the competition has certainly made great strides to improved product quality, Corolla is still the benchmark and consumer confidence in this compact car is reflected in used prices. Ironically, from a used car buyer perspective, it may also be its biggest drawback ... good luck with finding a good used Toyota Corolla at a bargain price. The 2009 Corolla came in CE, S, LE and XRS trim
levels. The highline Corolla LE (originally $21,495) added power windows and locks, climate control air conditioning, a 4-speed automatic transmission, a wood-grain interior trim package, a push-button keyless start system and more. Most Corolla models come with a 1.8-litre (132-horsepower) engine and the base versions came with a smooth-shifting five-speed manual with a light, easy to operate clutch. A four speed automatic was the

optional transmission and fuel economy is excellent, with a 7.5/5.6 L/100 km city/highway rating. The sporty Corolla XRS (originally $21,925) offered a bigger engine, better brakes and tires plus other stuff. Powered by a 2.4-litre (158-horsepower) engine it came with 17-inch tires on alloy wheels, electronic stability control, traction control, rear disc brakes and a strut tower brace. It was also the only version with a 5-speed automatic option. On the inside, this Corolla is roomier than the previous generation, with more shoulder room, legroom and trunk storage space. A tilt/telescoping steering column was standard on all trim levels and it came with two glove boxes, as seemingly past owners had complained about a lack of cabin storage space. Almost all Corolla models come with the same safety features, which includes six airbags and the front seats come with active head restraints. An anti-lock brake system is also standard, but only the XRS trim has electronic stability control and traction control. Stability control was included as standard on S and LE trim levels and optional on CE, in 2010. In 2011, stability control was made a standard feature on all Corolla trim levels. It also got a minor styling revamp, which included new headlights, grille, front
and rear bumpers, taillights and trunk lid. No significant changes in 2012, other than some re-packaging of options offered. The Toyota Corolla has a loyal consumer following who appreciate the finer virtue of this car—outstanding product quality. bob.mchugh @drivewaybc.ca Recalls Recalls on the 2009 to 2012 Toyota Corolla: 2009—Due to improperly applied grease, the driver’s side power window master switch may stick or become inoperative. Dealers will replace the master switch circuit board, if necessary. 2009/2010—The trunk lid may begin to close after it has been opened. Owners who are dissatisfied with the performance of their vehicle’s trunk lid may have the trunk springs replaced under special warranty coverage. 2009/2010—Accelerator pedal movement may become rough, slow to return, or the pedal may stick in a depressed position. Dealers will install a steel reinforcement bar to the accelerator pedal assembly. 2009/2010—The accelerator pedal may become stuck in the wide open position due to an unsecured or incompatible driver’s floor mat. Dealers will reconfigure the shape of the accelerator pedal.

Kelowna’s Steven Lee was one of four players across Canada that was named a 2013 MJT Cleveland Golf Player of the Year, as the most consistent finisher across the nation in the junior boys category (17 to 19). Player of the year awards were handed out using scoring averages over a minimum number of MJT tournaments.
Lee also won some international event funding from the tour. One of the players on the MJT tour who benefit-
ted from $1,000 scholarship was Lauren Rutherglen of Kelowna, who was a joint winner of the MJT Cleveland Golf Canada Scholarship The MJT is also distributing up to $12,000 among all the provincial MJT Cleveland Golf Order of Merit age-division winners who attend the MJT Boston Pizza National Tour Championship at Reunion Resort in Florida earlier this month Madison Kapchinsky of Kelowna was one of the winners from B.C. The Boston Pizza-pre-
sented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour is considered one of Canada’s number one-played junior tour and the ‘Road to College Golf’ for aspiring young players ••• With the golf season coming to a close around the Okanagan Valley, two members at Sunset Ranch have ample reason to be excited for next year. Sunset Ranch members Ron Steinhauer and Yvon Robichaud both sunk hole in ones in the last week of play at Sunset Ranch.
Huskies to defend valley soccer title
The Okanagan Mission Huskies look to defend their Okanagan AA boys high school soccer title this weekend in Kelowna. The valley championship kicks off Friday morning, with games at Kettle Valley and The Quarry in the Mission. The Huskies will take on Valleyview in the opening game at 10 a.m. at the Quarry. The top two teams in the six-team event will meet in Saturday’s championship final at The Quarry. Because the Okanagan has two berths at provincials, both finalists will advance to the B.C. championship. The Huskies, who posted on overall record of 28-0 last season, are the defending B.C. champs.

GARDENING WITH NATURE
Gwen Steele spread directly onto garden beds for mulch, or composted. If you are filling your green bin, shredded leaves take up way less room. Alternatively, you might have a gardening neighbour who would love to have them. I always check my neighbourhood for bagged leaves waiting to go to the landfill compost, taking only the bags of small leaves because the smaller the leaves, the faster they rot. I’d love to also find shredded ones. If the leaves are in coloured plastic bags I spray a bit of water into the bag and retie it. By spring the leaves have become wonderful
leaf mould complete with earth worms. This is one of the best mulches I have found for my sandy garden soil. The rotting process does not take place in clear bags. I leave the small leaves from my honey locust tree on the garden bed where they fall to mulch my plants. This is called a closed loop waste cycle just as would be found in nature. It is good for my wallet and my back. I don’t rake up the leaves and I don’t have to pay for and spread mulch over that garden. Now is a great time to make a lasagne garden to create a new garden bed of great soil for planting into next spring. If on a lawn, cut the grass very short. Water the site and lay down a layer of wet cardboard. Then cover with two to four inch thick layers of alternating ‘green’ and ‘brown’ materials, soak-
ing each layer before adding the next. Continue until it’s about two feet high. Start with chunky ‘brown’ material such as straw or frost killed plants from the garden. Subsequent brown layers could all be leaves. ‘Green’ layers could be compost, kitchen waste, garden soil, manure. Set aside a couple of bags of leaves to spread some on the pile each time you add kitchen waste to your compost bin. This ensures good decomposition. Warning: put all walnut leaves in the green bin as they have a toxin that deters growth of some plants. Gwen Steele is executive director of the non-profit Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

or many of us, fallen leaves are a nuisance and hard to get rid of because the green bin won’t hold them all. To me, they are the best source of free organic matter for my garden. Excellent compost can be made with alternating layers of leaves and manure. Larger leaves, when shredded, are greatly reduced in volume and decompose much faster. This can be done with a power mower (hopefully a non-polluting electric model). If they have fallen on a lawn, or can be raked onto one, a final cutting of the lawn can be done at the same time as the leaf shredding. If the mower has a bagging option, leaves and clippings can be collected together. Grass clippings speed decomposition of the leaves. Shreddings could be

In Loving Memory of a wonderful husband and father
Nick Chmelyk
Passed away Oct. 24th 1972 Our thoughts are ever with you Though you have passed away. And those who loved you dearly Are thinking of you today. No farewell words were spoken, No time to say goodbye, you were gone before we knew it, And only God can tell us why. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around you and whispered “Come to Me.” A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands now rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. Nothing can ever take away The love a heart holds dear. Fond memories linger every day Remembrance keeps you near Your presence we miss, Your memory we treasure, Loving you always, Forgetting you never.
Love your wife Mary and family.
In Loving Memory of
Sarantis Goreas We do not need a special day to bring you to our minds. The days we do not think of you are very hard to find. Each morning when we awake we know that you are gone. And no one knows the heartache as we try to carry on. Our hearts still ache with sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you no one will ever know. Our thoughts are always with you, your place no one can fill. In life we loved you dearly; in death we love you still. There will always to be a heartache, and often a silent tear. But always a precious memory of the days when you were here. If tears would make a staircase, and heartaches make a lane, We’d walk the path to heaven and bring you home again. We hold you close within our hearts; and there you will remain, To walk with us throughout our lives until we meet again. Our family chain is broken now, and nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
Your Son Niko, Renee, Ashley and Alexandra

HOUGH, FRED
November 7, 1927 – October 25, 2013 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our loving father Frederick Cyril Hough, after a valiant battle with cancer. Fred leaves behind his loyal companion and his angel, Donna Ferch. His two daughters Lesley and Jackie along with his 5 grandchildren; Joshua, Derick, Carson, Carlie, Landrey and his brand new great-grandson Jaxson. Fred was blessed in his life with two loving partners, his wife Eileen who passed away in 1996 and Donna who was by his side for 15 years sharing travel and adventure. Fred was born in Churchdown, Gloucester in 1927 and served in the military stationed in Italy just after WW II. Fred met and married Eileen in 1950 and immigrated to Canada with their daughter Lesley in 1957. They built their family home in Richmond and had their 2nd daughter, Jackie there. Making Peachland their summer destination, Fred and his family spent many wonderful years making friends in that community . Fred was a boating enthusiast and loved teaching people to fish and water ski on his beloved Okanagan Lake. He traveled extensively, loved music and RV-ing and was devoted to his friends and family attending countless dance and piano recitals, soccer and baseball games, track and field events and fencing tournaments. He loved to snow ski, golf, fish and play his music. He shared his passions with his family and friends and his passing leaves a huge hole in our hearts. For all those who knew him, remember his wicked sense of humour and the twinkle of mischief in his eyes. He loved and was loved and will be missed more than words can say. Donations in memory of Fred can be made to the Central Okanagan Hospice House . Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting www.HansonsFuneral.ca

▼ ITALY
When in Rome, stroll like Romans Gary A. Warner CONTRIBUTOR
The hazy, damp air of the hottest April in 40 years finally cooled around our rental apartment near the Pantheon in Rome, enough that it was comfortable for me to put on a long-sleeve collared shirt and my sportcoat above my slacks and black shoes for the first time in five days. I announced to my wife and two children that it was time to take a family stroll. “Where are we going?” asked my son, then 18. “I don’t know—that’s the whole point,” I said.
Branson - 14 Days - Nov 10, 2014 .................... $3349
“It’s called la passeggiata. Families dress up a bit and take a long evening stroll. It’s a tradition.” “But where are we going?” he asked again. My daughter, 11, didn’t look up from her book. To get this Italy tradition going, I was going to have to overcome Warner family tradition from back home—evenings are a time to chill out, often in our separate corners, with books, games or computer screens of our choosing. But we weren’t home, as I repeatedly reminded my flock during a nineday passage from Rome
to Florence to Venice. We were in Rome, and we were going to do as Romans do. And Florentines. And Venetians. I understood why family didn’t want to add yet another foray at the end of long, stifling days. Traveling stresses even the best-tempered of families, a description few friends and relatives would apply to our unit. To save money, we had packed into a series of “family rooms” that felt more like a can for that famous Italian fish—the sardine. The march of daytime sightseeing—the walk from the Pantheon to
the Colosseum in Rome, through the churches of Florence, and from Piazza San Marco to Piazza Santa Margherita in Venice—exhausted the clan by the time I was agitating for an evening stroll. Every time I would insist on my paternal right of la passeggiata, my three Garibaldi-esque family revolutionaries denounced the tyranny of a walk with no direction, meaning or end. So there would be only one classic family stroll, a lovely evening walk through the quiet Oltrarno district in Florence after a long day on the train. Another night, my
daughter and I meandered over to the Trevi Fountain for the hoary but sweet tradition of throwing a coin in the fountain to ensure a return trip to Rome. By our last stop, Venice—just when the 24hour togetherness was wearing its thinnest— we had the closest sleeping quarters of the trip: a bedroom with a double bed and two singles, our bags stacked high in the corners to allow a narrow passage to the bathroom door. In Venice, la passeggiata turned into my solitary strolls that would See Rome A40

usually end up at the Caffe Florian on the Piazza San Marco. I’d sit in the arcade and sip on a $12 double espresso. The caffe’s orchestra dueled sweetly with the musicians at Caffe Quadri on the opposite side of the
square as tourists trooped through what Napoleon is said to have called “the drawing room of Europe.” By the final night of our Italian trip, I had given up on la passeggiata. We spent the evening packing for our flight home. It was 10 p.m. My daughter said in a quiet

voice, “Dad, I’m really hungry.” We had snacked at a canal-side dessert shop in midafternoon, but never really had a full dinner. I wasn’t hungry. Neither was my wife. “I’m kind of hungry, too,” my son offered. In other trips to other cities, I would phone for pizza delivery or drive off to get takeout. But this was Venice. The kitchen at our small hotel was long closed. I wasn’t driving anywhere. “We’ll have to walk and see what we find,” I said.
Venice is a ghostly place at night. There are just 35,000 residents in the city. The population triples during the day on the high tide of tourists. By late night, most visitors are gone or in their hotel rooms, giving those remaining the feeling of being shut into a museum after hours. We started zigzagging through the streets and small piazzas, all empty and dimly lit. Finally, after about 20 minutes, we saw a golden light and a few people sitting at tables across from the Palazzo Zorzi. We sat. Bread and

olive oil appeared. The kids ordered spaghetti carbonara—a creamy Roman pasta dish they had fallen in love with earlier on the trip. We ate and drank and told stories. My son and daughter took turns trying to replicate the sound made by an inept garbage truck driver in Florence who scraped a trash dumpster repeatedly against the cobblestones under our hotel window at 5 a.m. When it was time to leave, I had only the vaguest idea where we were. We had left the hotel so quickly I had forgotten to take a map. Being in the land of papal infallibility, I invoked my right as a father to be our compass and set off. After 10 minutes of twists and turns, we rounded a corner to find ourselves at the restaurant we had just left. I tried again, this time attempting to hew a path toward the moon, that I recalled was in the direction of the Lagoon (and our hotel). After a half hour, we popped out on the esplanade near the San Zaccaria water taxi stop, about 200 yards from our hotel. A low, three-quarter moon reflected a rippled ray of light across the Lagoon to our eyes. Empty gondolas made a low wooden “clunk” noise as they bobbed against their pilings. Along the broad walkway, we linked arms as we walked from patch of lamplight to lamplight. Lightning flashed far out in the Adriatic—so distant we heard no thunder “I wish we weren’t going home,” my daughter said. La passeggiata had worked its magic. Gary A.

▼ MARKETING STRATEGY
Auction tested for luxury home sale
A
REAL ESTATE RUNDOWN
Ceinwen Morgan
new dawn and a new day is bringing with it a new marketing concept to help sell houses in the Central Okanagan. On Nov. 22, at 4 p.m., a ReMax Kelowna real estate team, Team Innovation, will try out a different approach of hosting a reserve auction for the sale of a luxury executive home at 371 Trumpeter Court. Team Innovation has decided to shake up the industry by welcoming buyers into this home and allowing them take a shot at becoming the proud new homeowners in a nontraditional way. This exciting event will have a live auctioneer to undertake the actual bidding as well as be sponsored with wine and cheese by a prestigious local vineyard, Volcanic Hills. This home offers exquisite features throughout such as five bedrooms plus a den, four bathrooms, grand entrance, open concept, gourmet kitchen, two balconies, media room with an estimated value of $25,000 of equipment included,
CONTRIBUTED
TYSON Wokoeck with ReMax in the kitchen of a Trumpeter Ridge home that his group, Team Innovation, will attempt to sell through a reserve auction. full wet bar and signature Trumpeter Ridge panoramic views from the Upper Mission. If you are a potential buyer of this property with or without representation of a real estate agent, you can register online at TeamInnovation. ca/auctions or call Team Innovation at 250-7182527. A due diligence package can also be provided with property details such as all documentation available from the City of Kelowna, Title, Property Disclosure Statement and a completed certified home inspection.

I WANTED TO FIND WAYS TO STEP ASIDE FROM THE TRADITIONAL WAYS OF MARKETING… Tyson Wokoeck
I was able to sit down with team leader Tyson Wokoeck, to discuss this new approach that he’s taking with marketing this executive home. “I wanted to provide my clients with the service that allows them to
achieve the highest value they can for their property,” said Wokoeck. “I once asked myself how I can standout amongst the rest of my esteemed real estate colleagues in the valley, which is how Team Innovation was established. “It’s quite simple really. I wanted to find ways to step aside from the traditional ways of marketing and offer a unique service that gets the job done and results in my clients feeling happy and confident that they achieved their financial goal when buying or selling property.”
While the auction is open to the public, due to security reasons all parties are required to register online or call Team Innovation to obtain their free VIP ticket. Perhaps the traditional ways of advertising are starting to fade away in favour of new marketing approaches, such as lavish auctions or the long forgotten way of simply door knocking. Real estate agents may have to start stepping outside the box for creative new ways to market properties. Ceinwen Morgan works in the Kelowna real estate industry.
Setting our clocks back one hour this weekend to revert back to standard time from daylight savings will also offer another opportunity to check the batteries on any smoke alarms in your home. The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board and the Kelowna Fire Department have joined forces to declare November as Smoke Alarm Awareness Month—a follow-up to a similar campaign carried out in March. “Working to promote the importance of functioning smoke alarms to help keep families safe in case of fire in their homes is a worthwhile community endeavour that certainly deserves repeating,” said OMREB president Karen Singbeil. “Once again, the Kelowna Fire Department is grateful to the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board and its membership for partnering with us to assist fire safety personnel in educating the public about smoke alarms in their homes,” added Kelowna Fire Department public fire safety educator Rick Euper. “With 700 realtors helping to get the word out in Kelowna for the second time this year to coincide with a time change, this local program will help prevent deaths and reduce annual fatalities from residential structural fires in the city.” The B.C. Fire Chiefs’ Association has launched a smoke alarm campaign with the goal to reduce the loss of life due to fire, and many fire services in the province have initiated various programs throughout the year to get this message out. Locally, the Kelowna Fire Department is conducting door-to-door visits in modular home parks and they have engaged the support of a number of industries with the hope that the initiative eventually becomes a provincial level program. The fire department has also supplied copies of the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs brochure, How to Stay Safe at Home, for distribution to Kelowna real estate offices to be included with listing documents and left with home sellers as a community service during this month. To download a copy, visit www.omreb.com/ files/SmokeAlarmBrochure.pdf. While the campaign in March and again in November is focused on Kelowna, the hope is it can be expanded to include West Kelowna and other Central Okanagan communities, and eventually be rolled out across OMREB’s service area in the Shuswap and North Okanagan regions.
