Gravel pits troubling issue for Lake Country

Kevin Parnell

STAFF REPORTER

hen District of Lake Country councillors voted no to a proposed gravel pit in the municipality this week, they said no to what has become both an important industry in the Central Okanagan as well as a hot-button topic of public debate. Gravel pits are controversial. Even the company that had applied for the permit to operate the new gravel pit, admits they are not pretty to look at. But the demand for the material that is mined —yes, gravel pits are considered mines, governed by the B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines— is huge and is essential in the construction of roads, railways, schools and infrastructure as well as more specialized industrial uses such as sewage filtration, agriculture and erosion prevention. In a 2013 report commissioned by the Central Okanagan Regional District on supply and demand for aggregate, the report states: “The only substance people consume more of than concrete is water; every year one ton of concrete is produced for each person on earth.” So when a familyrun, Okanagan operation that has been working

gravel pits in the Central Okanagan for more than 20-years appeared before Lake Country council on Tuesday looking for approval to open a new gravel pit bordering the new Highway 97 extension, it was no surprise that the council chambers were packed with nearby residents, business owners, and a mining consultant as well as the applicant. What followed was an hour-long trip through municipal politics, outlined below, that ended with Lake Country council saying no to another gravel pit, residents claiming victory and the applicant calling the decision short-sighted.

7:12 P.M.

As with any development application that needs a permit from council, Lake Country planner Mark Koch presented a recommendation to council. With regard to the gravel pit—known as the Witzke pit—staff recommended council turn the application down. The municipality is one of three levels of government that will ultimately decide the fate of the application to open the new pit, which is located within the Agriculture Land Reserve and also governed by the ministry of mines. Koch told the councillors there is plenty for

SPEAKERS at the Lake Country meeting regarding an application for a gravel pit in the district included local orchardist (left) Allan Gazke and mining consultant Eric Beresford. them to ponder as they think about the new application. “This is undeniably a high impact proposal and an interesting topic in the community,” said Koch. “The regional district has concluded that gravel is a critical resource for the regional economy and important for developing areas. “This is about weighing the importance of the resource with the community impact. It’s tough to balance priorities and we can see the impact on the aesthetic and visual components (of gravel pits).” Koch noted there are number of gravel pits in various stages of operation in Lake County and pointed out that reclamation of pits has been prob-

lematic. With that, he let council know that staff is not supporting the application, leaving the final decision on the gravel pit application in council’s hands.

7:20 P.M.

At Lake Country council, the public gets plenty of chance to speak and there is no shortage of people waiting to chime in when Mayor James Baker asks for public comment on the application. First up is mining consultant Eric Beresford, who represents the applicant Interior Gravel Products. Beresford told council that the gravel pits that are currently being used by the applicant will be

out of their current supply within a year and reclamation work to turn the pit back into agriculture land cannot take place until the mining operation is complete. He talked about the concerns about reclamation of gravel pits, saying the work to restore the pits will be done when the reserves are depleted. And when it comes to an ugly scar on the landscape, he said folks need to look no further than the new highway that was recently opened. “The province took 2.5 million cubic metres of very good sand and gravel out in two years,” explained Beresford. “What you will see from the lake is the highway scar. That will never be reclaimed. This pit will

be reclaimed after seven years. It will be greened up. This is needed in the area.”

7:36 P.M.

“I’m sorry. I’m nervous and I’m angry,” said Lake Country resident Colleen Skawronik as she and Linda Bauer stood at the council chambers podium together to oppose the application. Both live on Old Mission Road near the proposed pit and they say it’s a no-go as far as they are concerned. “We really have concerns about it,” Skawronik stated. “The (new) highway has gone through and the value of the property has gone up. “With this it’s going to go down the drain. The noise, the extreme dust…

Oyama businessman Allan Gatzke, of Gatzke Orchards, is next to the podium. He says that even with staff recommending council turn the proposal down, he isn’t convinced the councillors will listen. Gatzke told council that the pit will have a negative impact on his nearby peach trees, arguing that Oyama shouldn’t be a land of gravel pits, despite the fact the CORD report puts most of the available gravel in the Central Okanagan within or near Lake Country and the fact that he routinely buys gravel from the applicant. “I enjoy buying the gravel,” he admitted. “It’s nice and convenient. I can go get it in a truck without a license. I want that to continue but I cannot stand up and not be heard. “I don’t think the future of Oyama, as a land of gravel pits, is one that I would be proud of. This is one of those junctures where you can make a difference on the future of what our community looks like.”

directed staff to investigate the plan further with Schwab. Councillors Katie Robinson and Judy Sentes were opposed to the idea. Robinson said while the plan was good in theory, she was concerned both about the timeline, which would see the boat operating by next summer, and the proposed location, next to the Kiwanis walking pier “right in the middle” of the Okanagan waterfront. Coun. Andrew Jakubeit was one of the strongest supporters of the concept. “We like it or we don’t,” he said, making the motion to endorse the plan, rather than simply receive Schwab’s presentation. Schwab, who bought the boat out of receivership last year, wants council’s support for his plans to build a $300,000 dock next to the Kiwanis walking pier to moor the boat. If he gets the goahead, Schwab said they could have 28,000 passengers next year, operating over a three-month period, and escalate to operating the boat almost year round by 2016.

To the editor: The proposed new Official Community Plan (OCP) for the District of West Kelowna sounds like a dry read but think about this. What level of government (municipal, provincial, federal) has the most effect on our daily lives? I would definitely say municipal.

Help your local hospital–get a flu shot

got my influenza shot this week, paid for out of pocket since I don’t qualify for any of the higher-risk groups provided with free immunization. A reminder to take this simple health precaution came in October when a labour arbitrator ruled that it is a reasonable employment requirement for health care workers to either get the current immunization or mask up in patient care areas. Quiet advocacy by Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall has paid off. Staff, doctors, outside contractors and visitors will have to put patients first. Health care unions pressed a grievance on behalf of members who insist they have a right to refuse immun-

ization and increase exposure to patients. They have apparently run up the white flag. “We will be telling our members to comply with the new policy, Tom or risk being fired,” said Fletcher an overly dramatic Val Avery, president of the Health Sciences Association. HSA lawyers led the grievance, supported by the Hospital Employees’ Union and the B.C. Nurses’ Union. Avery said the union will continue to urge its members to take advantage of on-site flu shot clinics. That’s right, like most provincial employees, they all get immunization that is not only free but administered at work. Kendall announced the regulation last year, after finding that 40 per cent of employees in long-term care were

not getting the current influenza vaccine, and the rate of immunization was declining. Their objections make no sense. Aside from the self-serving “rights” argument, they complain that the annual flu vaccine isn’t effective enough. The formula is developed by international effort to track the dominant strains that emerge as winter rolls around the world. Kendall says a poor match results in about 40 per cent immunity, and a good match reaches 90 per cent. At the risk of stating the obvious, he notes that even 40 per cent is better than nothing. After two weeks of expert testimony, arbitrator Robert Diebolt, a retired UBC law professor, wrote as follows: “It is indisputable that influenza can be a serious, even fatal, disease. Immunization also indisputably provides

a measure of protection to health care workers and I have found that their immunization reduces influenza transmission to patients. “I have also concluded that there is a real and serious patient safety issue and the policy is a helpful program to reduce patient risk.” The B.C. Centre for Disease Control calculates that if all health care workers would get immunized, the risk to patients would be reduced nearly 50 per cent. The Ministry of Health warns: “you can spread influenza for 24 hours before you have any symptoms.” What would cause educated health care workers to defy common sense? A hint is provided by professional union promoter and publicist Bill Tieleman, who railed about the decision on his blog. See Fletcher A11

A Tradition of Sound Advice

▼ REMEMBRANCE DAY

Vow to end war applicable to all nations To the editor: November 11 commemorates both the bravery and loss of all wars and is fixed in history as the end of World War I, the bloodiest of all wars to this time (Martin Gilbert, The First World War). WWI lasted over four years and took the lives of 8,600,000 soldiers, 62,000 of them Canadians. In Gilbert’s calculations, on average 5,600 soldiers died every day of the war. At Vimy Ridge, the present site of the impressive Canadian war memorial, 3,598 Canadians gave their lives. Private George Price, the last Canadian soldier killed in WWI was hit by a sniper’s bullet at 10:58 a.m., two min-

utes before the end of the war. And then there are enormous numbers of wounded and disabled. Herbert Sulzbach, a German Jew who fled the Nazis to become a British Army interpreter recommended (to German soldiers) an appropriate way to celebrate Armistice Day: Acknowledge and salute the soldiers of all nations, he said, including soldiers of your enemies, and then make the following vow— “Never again shall such murder take place! It is the last time that we will allow ourselves to be deceived and betrayed. It is not true that we Germans are a superior race; we have no right to believe that we are better than others.

We are all equal before God, whatever our race or religion. Endless misery has come to us, and we have realized where arrogance leads…In this minute of silence, at 11 a.m. on this November 11, 1945, we swear…to take part as long as we live in the reconciliation of all people and the maintenance of peace….” (Martin Gilbert). The vow was specifically intended for Germany but Gilbert, an Oxford historian, includes it in his book on WWI because he is certain it is relevant to armies and nations everywhere.

B.C. gov’t ‘mastermind’ of yet another tax grab To the editor: The B.C. Liberal government is the mastermind of yet another tax grab along with creating an increase in the cost of living. May, 2014, will implement new legislation for recycling that promises to increase the cost of goods which in turn will boost provincial revenues from sales tax. Under the legislation, manufacturers will become responsible for the recycling costs associated with the packaging of their goods and printed paper through Multi Material BC. Information suggests this will represent hundreds of millions of dollars over the next few years in additional costs. There is every expectation these costs will be passed on to the consumer so once again, the price that you pay for everything will increase. We should also recall the introduction of

the B.C. carbon tax accomplished exactly the same thing resulting in an increase in the price of all goods and services. What remains common is these ‘government manipulated’ price increases raises revenues generated from both the federal and provincial sales tax. While most would agree these changes are necessary why does our provincial government remain focused on solutions that improve their bottom line? Our Senate studied for a year why Canadians pay so much more than Americans even for products that are manufactured in Canadian factories, such as Toyota vehicles. The report focused most of its concerns on import tariffs, yet there was no mention of government manipulating prices for their own gain. One problem with consumption (sales) taxes is there is zero incentive for governments

to reduce the costs of goods and services. Consumers will be paying additional costs when buying the product which in turn will create additional sales tax revenue for the government. Then they will continue to pay again in municipal taxes for recycling pickup. Many municipalities have seriously questioned the increased costs to consumers and business for a less effective recycling system. After never-ending complaints about price differences between Canada and the U.S., along with studies done by our senators, one might think governments should be cautious of any program that could create increases in the price of goods and services. T. Kinsman, West Kelowna

Time to take another look at benefits of communism To the editor: Whatever you think of Karl Marx you’d have to admit that his ideas have had a major impact on world history. In Marx’s century, the 19th, the idea of progress was firmly established. Never before had human expectations

been so high: Science and technology seemed to offer endless material improvement, the emancipation of women, the emancipation of workers, sexual liberation, and a society of universal peace and plenty. Some expected this through revo-

lution and some expected it through liberal progress but all expected it. The 20th century shook these expectations and taught us that catastrophes, wars, a return to barbarism, and the dissolution of the hopes and values to which the 19th

Union leaders spreading alarm Fletcher from A10 This regulation is inspired by big bad U.S. health care corporations that would rather impose immunization than pay for sick days, Tieleman asserts. Ah…so an infected health care employee should wander the wards until symptoms emerge, and then go home for

a few days of paid rest. What a perfectly stupid idea! Last week BCNU president Debra McPherson was warning about “chaos” at the new Surrey Memorial emergency ward, her latest of a career of media protests. The big new facility is already overflowing, and more beds and more staff are needed, stat!

Perhaps if better preventive measures were taken by nurses, doctors and other staff, this chronic “chaos” would be reduced and these unions would have more credibility. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter:@tomfletcherbc tfletcher@blackpress.ca

century aspired is possible. Now, at the beginning of the 21st century the global environmental crises, joined to and created by the continual crises of capitalism, threaten not only Utopian dreams, but our survival. Capitalism is proving incapable of saving itself even with “debt crises,” speculative “bubbles” and “austerity measures” (class warfare in Marx’s terms), and the revolutionary mass workers movement has not emerged to forge what was once thought of as the inevitable triumph of a more democratic and

egalitarian society. Where is the hope? Is there an alternative? What would Marx say about today’s predicament? Authors Gary and Yves Engler provide an updated ‘remix’ of Marx in their new book The New Commune-ist Manifesto: Workers of the World It Really Is Time To Unite!

Fundraiser for new surgical centre outfitted with 15 state-of-the-art operating rooms KGH from A7 daily lives faster and increase the time they spend with loved ones,” said Walstrom. The centre will include 15 new, state-ofthe-art operating rooms, which will replace nine operating rooms currently in use in the hospital’s Strathcona Building. Those operating rooms date back nearly 40 years. The campaign, which aims to have the money raised and the equipment in place in time for the expected opening of the IHSC in spring 2015, will

WARM & DRY!

raise funds for equipment not covered by the $367 million construction cost of the facility. Walstrom said the top priority of the campaign is equipping a new “hybrid” operating room, that will allow surgeons to operate on patients through a oneinch long opening in the chest, using guide wires and digital imaging to see inside the chest cavity. The room will be just the fourth of its kind in the province, with two already up and running in the Lower Mainland and one in Victoria. Walstrom said the hybrid operating room allows for minimally invasive surgery that can be done quickly and, in

turn, lead to faster recovery times for patients. Typically, such surgeries involve opening up the chest so surgeons can see and work inside. In addition to the cardiac surgery equipment, other surgical equipment to be purchased using money raised through the campaign will include millions for dollars for equipment such as advanced anesthesia markers, an ortho-trauma table, microscopes for plastic surgery and navigational systems for neurology, said Walstrom. The IHSC will be the permanent home for the first cardiac surgery program in the Interior. “Yet, the IHSC is

more than just a cardiac centre,” she said. “It is a fully integrated critical care facility with 15 new operating rooms and inpatient surgical unit.” With KGH now a major teaching hospital and the IHSC becoming the surgical centre for the B.C. Interior, having the most up-to-date and best equipment available is paramount. Yesterday, the foundation kicked off the campaign at KGH with a demonstration in an existing hospital operating room. The campaign’s co-chairs are Dr. Gary Goplen, head of surgery, and Dr. Guy Fradet, head of cardiovascular surgery.

Learning about invasive plants

’ve always had a soft spot for the cheerful oxeye daisy with its simple white petals in a ray cflower and a golden ayellow centre. l So it’s disappointing to see -it’s one of the 26 most invasive garden plants we should watch out for. But, I’ve had lots of experience ewith pretty garden plants that have eturned out to be almost impossible eto eradicate once they got a toehold, tlike the Chinese lantern, with its smasses of underground roots, and the classic Lily of the Valley, which -I never imagined would get away -from me the way it did. a We spent weeks digging out an -entire garden in which that sweetgly-scented, lovely little English garden favourite simply took over, schoking out every other plant and producing new ones from the tiniest fraction of a white root left behind. d So, I’m absolutely determined never to permit an invasive to stick its lily-white root in my garden soil again. Such plants seem to literally jump out of the garden and take over adjacent wild areas, whether that’s the boulevard, a ditch or a wild spot nearby. Remember how that single plant of Baby’s Breath along the road expanded in just a year or two into miles of rolling, smelly mounds of gray-white? Florists may love it for

arrangements but it produces 10,000 seeds a plant which it can distribute over huge distances as the stalk breaks off and rolls away, dropping Judie seeds everywhere it Steeves goes. Alien invasives are still available at many nurseries, warns Evan Rafuse of the Invasive Species Council of B.C., who will be speaking on the topic at next week’s meeting of the Central Okanagan Naturalists Club. The meeting is Tuesday, Nov. 12,7 p.m., at the Evangel Church on Gordon Drive. Public is welcome. As a farmer, landscaper and biologist, Rafuse says consumers drive the demand for such invasive plants so nurseries aren’t likely to stop stocking them unless you stop asking for them. The ISC is starting a certification program for nurseries that have agreed not to stock invasive plants, and we all have a vested interest in supporting them. Once an invasive is established there are no known natural controls of its spread, outside its native habitat, so it easily becomes nearly impossible to control. It can cause considerable damage, choking out native plants, destroying rangelands and wildlife grazing areas and creating a monoculture that even insects shun. He notes that in the past, people

TRAIL MIX

would bring favourite plants from their native lands, not realizing such aliens might overwhelm native vegetation—and today we’re paying the price. Do your bit by not buying, selling or trading such plants, of which there are 500 in Canada. Many have deep roots, poison animals and produce millions of seeds spread in often-ingenuous ways. For details of such plants, check out www.invasiveplantcouncilbc.ca. With a changing climate, such plants are now better able to become established in areas where they are not native, so a coastal plant is not necessarily only able to become invasive at the coast. I’ve even noticed English ivy that’s gone nuts where it gets a bit more than the natural water here— and it is one of the 26 most-invasive garden plants. Practising water conservation in your gardening efforts helps to prevent the spread of some invasives from other areas in this dry climate. Water should also be a concern in this climate. You’ve still got a week to submit your comments on updates proposed for the the century-old Water Act in B.C. with a Water Sustainability Act. For details or to comment, go to http://engage.gov.bc.ca/watersustainabilityact/the-proposal/.

Dan Connaughton, General Manager for Kelowna Chrysler Dodge has just announced plans to hold a used car and truck event with used cars and trucks being SLASHED down thousands of dollars. Due to the current market conditions, we have an extra amount of used cars, trucks and lease returns. Now we need to reduce the number of vehicles in our used car inventory. During this SLASHER sale every used car and truck will be sold for hundreds to thousands below the original price.” Connaughton said, “Our customers should find these prices as low as auction prices in many cases.” Here, every used car and truck is on sale! FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE AND NO BIDDING. It’s the perfect opportunity to get a good quality used car at the lowest price possible, including some being SLASHED down to one dollar. All cars and trucks will be on display at 2440 Enterprise Way, Kelowna at 8:30 AM on Saturday, November 9, 2013.

There will be 3 separate visits from the SLASHER 10 AM, 3 PM and 5 PM. We figure using a local Kelowna boy for the SLASHER makes the odds of your deal better. We’ve got over 2 million dollars in used inventory to choose from. Our total inventory will be over 200 used cars and trucks. We want to remind everybody that this is a one-day sale only. When our inventory has been reduced, we will remove the sale prices and return to normal operations.

Products watched quietly and likely pondered what his next step would be. Fred Thiessen, along with his two brothers, own and operate the company that was started by their dad in Westbank in the early 1990s as Westbank Aggregate, and is now called Interior Gravel Products.

Thiessen says within a year the two gravel pits he is mining in Lake Country will be depleted and he is already not able to bid on new jobs because there is not enough aggregate supply. Calling the Lake Country decision short-sighted, he also said he understands the public

perception of the industry he works in. “I understand the community outcry, I empathize with the land and homeowners,” he said. “I know how it works. We’re not desired. We’re probably the biggest protested industry there is. “But everybody needs it. All these people cry that they don’t want it in their backyard. But what they don’t understand is the trucks are going to come from somewhere. “The next closest pit is on the other side of Kalamalka Lake. Is having 4,000 to 5,000 truck-loads traveling through Oyama, through school zones, a better alternative than having me right beside a major highway?” Lake Country councillors and residents expressed concern about reclamation work on

the current gravel pits. As part of getting approval to operate a gravel pit from the B.C. Ministry of Mines, gravel pit operators such as the Thiessens have to put up a bond that is designed to ensure a company restores the pit. Normally the land is levelled, topsoil is placed back onto it, preparing it for future development. Thiessen says he routinely puts up $20,000 bonds to the ministry but says it’s more than just the bond that makes him reclaim a gravel pit when it’s life is over. “It’s not a matter of do I just want to walk away,” he said. “It’s my reputation, my future and my family’s future. It’s not as simple as they think. They say let’s wait and see what reclamation looks like. But it’s regulated by a

iterated that reclamation work can’t begin before the mining operation is complete. He says the company has large bonds with the ministry of mines, the ALR and a bond with Lake Country ensuring the reclamation work will be done.

government body to make sure it happens. We’ve been doing this since 1991 and we’ve never lost a bond due to non-reclamation.” Thiessen says the irony of being turned down is that one of his biggest customers has been the District of Lake Country as his company has provided gravel to the municipality for virtually all of its capital projects. And he also sells to many local residents. “They said there is no proof of demand but they (Lake Country) are my biggest customer right now,” he said. “Most of my work this year has been in Lake Country. We get locals here all the time and all they want is price, price, price. “They want it to be cheaper.”

“You can only reclaim when you are finished,” he said. “They are all one year away and then they will be graded and smoothed over and greened up. “This is private land, valuable land that is not just going to be left. Bear in mind gravel pits are temporary, it’s a six to seven year project with reclamation at the end.”

After the public had its say, Lake Country councillors are free to comment— and it’s clear which way the vote will go. Coun. Penny Gambell summed up the general feel around the council table: “We have many pits that we have all looked at for many, many, many years. “While you say reclamation is going to happen, I know as councillor I am not prepared to say yes to another gravel pit until I see that reclamation.”

8:13 P.M.

An hour after debate started, the application from Interior Gravel was denied by council, putting an end to one company’s bid to keep working in Lake Country in the future, at least for the time being. But with gravel pit mining becoming a bigger industry, the question is sure to come back to municipal councils around the region. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Papa Thom joins Night of the Arts alumni When music fans gather for this year’s annual Night of the Arts concert Nov. 16 at the Kelowna Community Theatre there will be a new face and voice to capture their fancy. New, at least, as far as the annual fundraiser is concerned. However, Keith ‘Papa’ Thom is no stranger to music fans in the Okanagan—or across western and central Canada for that matter. Papa Thom’s silky smooth vocals and engaging personality are familiar to many folks in this massive nation as Keith has literally played the country from Ontario to the Pacific. For Keith traveling the back roads and small towns of Canada picking and grinning is as much a pleasure for him as performing in major theatres and cities. Troubadour, bard, minstrel, balladeer… Papa Thom literally fits all the descriptive terms used to describe a man who’s passion for music is only exceeded by his passion for his wife, family, friends, and his maker. “Music has been my life since I was just a wee boy growing up in Kitchener. My brother received a guitar as a present and it sat around the house for a good year. Finally I asked him if I could try it and he said go ahead. I’m not sure I ever put it down after that,” he chuckles. “I was around 10, but I knew right then, in my heart, that I had found something I was meant to do— play guitar. Born in 1954 Keith was one of five kids who

grew up during the carefree and ever changing times of the 1960’s and 70’s—a time period when music proved to be hugely influential on the younger generation. Like many aspiring musicians it was Canadian folk legend Gordon Lightfoot that kick-started Keith’s passion to play and write songs. “When Lightfoot’s first album came out I was stunned. I played it over and over and the obsession had begun. I was 16 and from that point on I wanted to create, and write, and perform. I quickly came to understand the impact and ability music had and has to make people think and feel,” Thom explains. While his chosen genre of music is best categorized as folk, Keith is an accomplished singer/songwriter in numerous styles. He’s a natural on guitar with fingers flowing effortlessly over the frets. His voice is strong, diction clear, and range impressive. Of particular strength, though, is his lyrical brilliance. As a songwriter, Keith applies verbs, nouns, and adjectives to music scales like a master artist applies brush and paint to canvas. His literary work generally happens with ease. “I write about life, about people—what they do, how they feel. I guess I analyse a lot of what I see and hear and then try to make sense of it all through a song.” That lyrical skill snags one’s attention when listening to his current (and first) album titled Invis-

ible. The six song album features all original tunes, each with a story of its own looking at the lives of others. The title song, Invisible is an amazing creation capturing listeners from its first note. It’s an appropriate song to be played at the ninth annual Night of the Arts concert since it is written about the life of the homeless in our country. “I first heard Keith when he opened for Valdy last spring and I knew right then I had to have him play at the Night of the Arts,” says concert organizer and host Charlie Hodge. “Keith is a quality musician and a quality person.” So why has it taken this long for Keith to record an album? “I left the music world between age 23 to age 50 in order to raise a family (much of that time as a single father). More years went by just trying to earn a living. Once I decided to return to music I had a mission and a plan and one thing simply lead to another. I never had the time or the material to do a recording until a couple years ago.” That mission and plan came about due to his personal experiences, his personal growth in faith, and an acute and sad awareness of the number of homeless and addicted people in our nation. In 2008 he embarked on a journey which became much bigger and meaningful than he first imagined. Keith ventured from Ontario towards the west coast stopping at numerous small towns

PAPA Thom will per-

form at Night of the Arts. and cities along the way for concerts. However the shows were more than just music. Papa would visit shelters or food kitchens where he would engage clients and staff at such facilities in helping him prepare shepherds pies. Once the homemade meals were devoured Papa would play a concert for those in attendance. Sometimes the crowds were two or three people sometimes there were hundreds. As well, he began leaving guitars behind at various venues which had been donated to him. “I guess the idea was to fill people’s stomachs before trying to fill their hearts and souls. It just took off. Next thing I knew folks were donating guitars to me left and right. Everything just grew from there,” he recalls. Sure enough, last year Papa completed his fifth Shepherd’s Pie tour in five years. “I think I have fed

and played to some 3,000 people and given away 48 guitars.” Now a resident of Peachland, Papa is thrilled with his relationship with partner Mary-Lynn and his family members, his good health, and his ability to play music for the public On a local level, music fans can often see Papa Thom play at the Waterfront Grill in Peachland. He also loves to perform a lot of private house concerts and fundraising events. “I am looking forward to playing a few songs at the Night of the Arts. It is precisely the sort of event that I love to be involved with. Helping others and inspiring folks is what being an entertainer is all about. I can’t wait.” It’s difficult to know who will be happier with the experience—Keith or the crowd. The annual concert will start at 6:30 on November 16 with doors opening at 5:30. Admission is by donation with all proceeds going towards Metro Community, a local organization that offers assistance to those at risk within our community. Metro Central - a coffee shop, library, counseling facility in the downtown area, is one example of Metro’s help. Keith Thom will share the Kelowna Community Theatre stage Nov. 16 with four other acts— Cowboy Bob, the Jimmy LeGuilloux Band, The Trips, and Dirt Road Opera.

The message of Remembrance Day NO BOUNDARIES

Kevin Parnell

very year at this time we are asked to remember our war veterans, honouring them at Remembrance Day events held at schools, community halls and cenotaphs. We wear poppies and we read or watch the news and try to digest what it is those great men and women went through. The irony is, that as we try to remember and honour our vets, they themselves have spent their whole lives trying to forget what happened, forget about the horrors of war, of what they went through on those battlefields. It was that horrific and terrifying experience they don’t want to share, often not even with their families. Instead, they deal in their own way, taking another hit to save us from the true story. “If you talk to a vet you’re not going to hear very much from them about what happened during war because they don’t want to talk about it,” says Kees Boersma, the president of the Oyama Legion. “It’s a really sad situa-

tion. They were out there to defend our country in World War II. And not just our country but also the freedom that we have in our world. That freedom is very special.” Today, we live with that freedom every day. We take it for granted as we hustle through life. Is this what those vets fought for? A society that has become more self-centred, more egocentric than ever. We study our smartphones instead of talking to our neighbours. We push past people, as opposed to looking them in the eye. We ignore others and talk all about ourselves. As a parent, I wonder about our kids today. Will they ever truly comprehend what our war veterans went through? Can they understand that teenagers were once sent to war to fight a real fight, to kill or be killed for a greater cause? In our modern age, kids are bombarded by death. It’s in movies, video games, even on our smartphones. How can they empathize or sympathize about something that has become trivialized by modern multimedia? So as we honour our war veterans this week, let’s also take a step back and look at where the world is going. It’s time to get over ourselves and our sense of

How Remembrance Day evolved as recognition for our war veterans Remembrance Day commemorates Canadians who died in service to Canada from the South African War to current missions. It is held every Nov. 11. The first Remembrance Day was conducted in 1919 throughout the Commonwealth. Originally called Armistice Day, it commemorated the end of the First World War on Monday, Nov. 11, 1918, at 11 a.m.: the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. From 1923 to 1931, Armistice Day was held on the Monday of the week in which Nov. 11 fell. Thanksgiving was also celebrated on this day. In 1931, MP Allan Neill introduced a bill to hold Armistice Day on a fixed day—Nov. 11. During the bill’s introduction, it was decided the word “Remembrance” would be used instead of “Armistice.” The bill passed and Remembrance Day was first conducted on Nov. 11, 1931. Thanksgiving Day was moved to Oct. 12 that year. The poppy is the symbol of Remembrance Day. Replica poppies are sold by the Royal Canadian Legion to raise money for veterans.

UBCO remembers fallen soldiers Sarah McIntosh knows the Somme Battleground—its trenches, its tunnels, its gravestones— rather well. McIntosh spent the past two winters in France, working at Vimy Ridge and the Somme Battleground memorial sites. The fourth-year history student in the Irving K. Barber School of Arts and Sciences at the UBC Okanagan campus spoke about these battlefields at UBC’s Remembrance Day ceremony which was held Thursday at the UBCO Courtyard and Arts Building foyer, 1147 Research Rd. on the Kelowna campus. McIntosh spent the past two winters working for Veterans Affairs Canada at the Canadian National War Memorial at Vimy Ridge and at Beaumont Hamel Newfoundland Memorial at the Somme Battlefield. Part of her job included interpreting historical information with visitors and tourists while she explored the trenches and tunnel systems that are original to the First World War. “Being on the Canadian battlefields in France helped humanize the war effort for me,” McIntosh says. “Working as a battlefield guide and having the opportunity to speak with a number of veterans, and

Liberal veterans affairs critic and Scarborough-Agincourt MP Jim Karygiannis visited Kelowna Oct. 31 as part of his fight to keep veterans affairs offices across the country open. Kelowna’s office is one of nine such offices facing closure by next February. Local veterans wanting face-to-face service will have to travel to Penticton, or wait for a case worker to visit. Those not wanting to travel to Penticton will be forced to search for assistance by calling a toll-free number or seeking help through online services. “You’re 85-years-old, you’re a veteran. How are you going to drive to Penticton?” asked Karygiannis, noting the federal government is failing in its “obligation” to look after veterans. According to Karygiannis, while only one veteran showed up to speak with him in front of the Veterans Affairs office in Kelowna last week, he said that

doesn’t mean local veterans aren’t concerned. “A lot of the vets were scared to show up because should they show up to speak, they would probably be targeted,” he said. Despite the low turnout in Kelowna, Karygiannis said he has heard plenty of concerns and complaints from veterans across the country, including Kelowna. “They’re frustrated, they’re angry… they don’t know what’s going to happen.” Last year Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan told the Capital News the Penticton office serves a higher number of clients than does the Kelowna office. “It’s unfortunate, but it’s necessary,” Cannan said, defending the budget cost-cutting measure. “We have to live within our means, and the reality is that a leaner government is better for all Canadians in the long run.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Westbank cenotaph service to proceed The lack of availability of the Westbank Lions Community Centre this year won’t stop the traditional Remembrance Day cenotaph service carried on by the Historic Westbank Association. Because the hall was damaged by fire earlier this year, association spokesperson Betty Hersey saidsome local residents may feel the Remembrance Day service won’t proceed this year. “We just want to get the word out there that the ceremony will proceed againt his year,” Hersey said.

“It’s the fourth year we’ve done a wreath laying ceremony at the cenotaph. “There is a historical significance to the ceremony because of the cenotaph location and it being an outside setting for the ceremony which is more traditional.” The local Legion branch and District of West Kelowna will stage a Remembrance Day service again this year indoors at Royal LePage Place. “I know part of the reason for going indoors is because it is getting

harder for the vets to stand outside in the cold for the length of the service. “But the outside service is a tradition for Remembrance Day and part of the reason why we want to keep it going.” She added the cenotaph remains an important historical tradition for the association because it was created by Westbank pioneers to recognize local residents who lost their lives in war. Following the 11 a.m. service, refreshments will be available this year at the nearby United Church hall.

▼ WHL

Swiss forward finding comfort zone with the Rockets Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Kris Schmidli celebrated his 17th birthday this summer by realizing the first big step in a childhood dream. On July 3, the Swiss-born forward was chosen by the Western Hockey League’s Kelowna Rockets in the 2013 CHL import draft. After watching fellow Swiss player Eric Arnold play for the Moose Jaw Warriors in 2011, Schmidli knew exactly what path he wanted his hockey career to follow. “For two years, (before the draft) my dream was to play in the WHL,” said Schmidli, a 5-foot-9, 160-pound forward from Zurich. “I would see him (Arnold) in the highlights and I wanted that too. I was happy to be drafted. Now I’m here in Kelowna…it’s unbelievable.” Like many European players, there’s been an adjustment period for Schmidli in learning the language, the nuances of Canadian culture and the North American style of play. On the ice, so far, so good for Schmidli who has two goals and nine points, and is gradually adapting to the smaller ice surface com-

pared to that of Europe. “I miss that one (extra) metre (of ice),” Schmidli said with a laugh, referring to the smaller dimensions of a WHL rink. “You haven’t a lot of time. In Switzerland, in junior you can do one more move…you can’t do it here. I’m learning, getting better.” Considering Schmidli is just a few months past his 17th birthday, a long way from home, and relatively new to the WHL game, Rockets coach Ryan Huska said the young forward is making positive progress. “I think he’s starting to feel more comfortable with the style here and the way things are done,” Huska said. “It’s a challenge for a young man, he’s only 17 and sometimes we forget that. He’s done a good job of learning our game and he’s continuing to improve.” Schmidli is part of a growing wave of Swiss players who are making an impact in North American hockey. The number of players from Switzerland chosen in the CHL import draft rose to an historical high of 10 this year, the third most of all European nations behind Russia and the Czech Republic.

There are currently seven Swiss players in the NHL, including Mark Streit, Jonas Hiller, Nino Niedereitter, and one of Schmidli’s favourite players, Roman Josi of the Nashville Predators. The recent surge of his countrymen in both pro and junior hockey in North America gives hope to Schmidli and other young Swiss players like him. “This is nice (to be in the WHL) because you know it’s possible,” Schmidli said. “You see all the guys playing right now and it shows you what you can do. It’s not impossible (for Swiss players).” On Wednesday night, Schmidli had an assist on the game’s first goal as the Rockets rolled over the Red Deer Rebels 6-2 for their fifth straight win.

Trio named CJFL all-Canadians A much-improved effort on the field as a team in 2013 resulted in some national recognition for three members of the Okanagan Sun. Offensive lineman Devon Kozar, and defensive backs Jack Rush and Brennan Van Nistelrooy were named this week to the CJFL’s all-Canadian team. The 22-year-old Kozar was one of 13 play-

ers named on the offensive side of the ball. A native of Portage la Prairie, Man., Kozar, who has graduated from the Sun, made the transition from the defensive line to the offensive line prior to the start of the BCFC’s regular season. “The award is well-deserved, Devon is an unselfish player who worked his butt off,” said Sun head coach Shane Beatty.

“He made a seamless transition from the D-line to the O-line and I don’t remember him giving up a sack. “Devon played the game with passion and intelligence and was a great leader for us. The award is well-earned.” Rush, 22, and Van Nistelrooy, 20, were among 12 players named on defense. Rush, a native Niagara

Falls, Ont., who graduates from the program, had 33 tackles, four interceptions and a touchdown in 2013. “Jack was a leader on defense, he was the smartest guy out there and made sure everybody knew their jobs,” said Sun defensive coordinator Nathan Mollard. “He was very physical and led by example. We’re going to miss Jack.” Van Nistelrooy, a na-

tive of Lethbridge, tallied 24 tackles, a sack, two blocked kicks and a pair of interceptions. Van Nistelrooy, who played as a rookie in the BCFC in 2011, returned

to the Sun this summer after a season with the University of Alberta. “We knew we were lucky when Brennan came back to us,” said Mollard.

“He’s a special kid who picks up stuff right away. He excelled for us and could do anything out there on the field. “He’s a hell of an athlete.”

ice success. Anholt has stepped forward and helped to create Anholt’s Army, a new partnership with the Okanagan Boys and Girls Club that will see him raise money and partici-

pate in a weekly event with the boys and girls club. “I’m honuored I can be a part of such a great charitable effort like this,” said Anholt. “I want to thank my

Anholt currently has 12 points through 18 games, and picked up three points in three games this past weekend. Every Warriors game will also see eight to 10 youth from the Okanagan Boys’ and Girls’ Club watching from a special Anholt’s Army section. At the game they will receive popcorn, a free t-shirt, and they will meet the Warriors captain after the game. Anholt will also run a drop-in ball hockey game every Tuesday from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the boys’ and girls’ club throughout the year. Anholt is already committed to Alaska-Anchor-

Chiefs to face off against the Knights

▼ MINOR HOCKEY

OK Rockets top scorer sidelined The Okanagan Rockets will battle the rival Vancouver Northwest Giants for first place this weekend without one of their most dangerous offensive weapons. Forward Liam Finlay has been sidelined for the foreseeable future with an upper body injury. It’s been a bittersweet week for Finlay who was named the BCMML’s player of the month for October. Finlay was knocked out of Saturday’s 4-4 tie at CNC with the South Island Royals with an injury late in the second period. He could be sidelined for as long as eight weeks. “Losing a player of Liam’s calibre for any period of time is tough,” said Rockets general manager David Michaud. “It particularly tough on Liam who has never been injured. The important thing for Liam and our hockey club is to take our time with this and make sure he is 100 per cent healthy before returning. “This is a young man with an incredibly bright future ahead of him with both Penticton, and the University of Denver. As an organization, we need to do what is right to make sure nothing long term is jeopardized for Liam.” Finlay, who was named this week as the BCMML’s player of the month, leads the Rockets in scoring this season with seven goals and 25 points in 10 games. The Rockets and Giants, both 10-1-1 and currently tied for top spot in the BCMML, will meet this weekend at CNC. Game times are 3 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. on Sunday.

The Okanagan Division-leading Kelowna Chiefs will look to extend their winning streak to six games when they visit the North Okanagan Knights Friday in KIJHL action. On Saturday, Kelowna will host the Summerland Steam in a 7 p.m. face off at Rutland Arena. The Chiefs (15-4-0-1) made it five straight wins Wednesday night with a 4-1 victory over the hometown Osoyoos Coyotes. Tyler O’Donnell was sharp in the Kelowna net stopping 40 shots. KIJHL-leading scorer Nick Josephs led the Chiefs with a goal and two assists, while Jagger Bowles, Nick Kovacik and Austin Fisher scored the other markers. Kelowna now leads Osoyoos by nine points for top spot in the Okanagan Division.

Huskies win boys’zone title The Okanagan Mission Huskies claimed their third straight Central Okanagan zone boys AA volleyball title this week, defeating the George Elliot Coyotes in the final. The win earns the Huskies a berth as hosts for provincials later this month in Kelowna. OKM will also be the No. 1 seed for valleys Nov. 15 and 16 at Vernon’s at Fulton Secondary. In the zone championship, OKM prevailed over GESS 3-1 in a long, hardfought battle. The Huskies were led by captain Isaac Smit as OKM had to come from behind in the first two sets. Alex Beitel had a team leading three blocks, nine kills and one ace. Tanner Thiessen set up his teammates with 36 assists and had seven kills of his own. Oliver Wicklund and Evan Yarrow combined for nine kills out of the middle and five stuff blocks.

Local favourites Kyle Sebastian (recently back from tour of Japan) and the ever popular Collin Cutler (pictured) will appear as part of a tag team event and the ladies will also be in action including Bambi Hall, also pictured. The event takes place Nov. 16 at Lake City Bowling. Tickets are available at the door and are available at the Lake City Bowl, Bering music centres, West Coast Authentic and Leo’s Video.

OKM coach Paul Thiessen was satisfied with the outcome of the match but not the quality of play. “I would like to see a more unified effort throughout the match instead of late game hero-

ics to save games,” said Thiessen. “It is nice to come from behind to win a game, it is not recommended that you trail most of the match and then have to fight frantically at the end to save each

game. “This was a good lesson for our team for the upcoming valleys.” The Huskies, who are 11-0 against valley opponents this season, are currently ranked No. 4 in the province.

created to recognize the sacrifices, dedication and assistance spouses provided to the RCMP and their communities. This year, 468 women across the country are being recognized with the award. Retired deputy commissioner Garry Loeppky explained there were no female police officers in the RCMP before 1974; however, he told the award recipients Thursday that their efforts qualify them to proudly say they served the citizens of Canada. Kelowna resident Mary Wieshlow received one of the 46 Unpaid Second Man Awards given out Thursday morning.

ed residents, feeding prisoners and whatever else needed to be done at the Port Alice detachment. Wieshlow, who grew up in Brandon, MB, said those were some of the most exciting years of her life. “I was the girl from the city who had never seen anything. To arrive out at a place like that in 1954— it was isolated…we only got out by aircraft, there were no roads.” Centenarian Margaret Jane Callens, the eldest award recipient, received a standing ovation as she was recognized for her Second Man duties, from 1950 to 1953 in Clinton, B.C. Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens said many of the women who received the award Thursday were humble about the important role they took on as spouses of Mounties. “Those contributions were insistently minimized or characterized as some of the best years of (their) lives,” said Callens. “Perhaps the most succinct comment was: ‘It was a blast.’” Callens told the award recipients they’ve all displayed “a tremendous amount of loyalty, dedication, compassion and courage.” “Over the course of your service, you provided your husband and our members a sense of comfort, knowing their most reliable partner was there for them,” he said. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Feeding the right foods to our children key to healthy upbringing

feel that this is the best time of the year. No, not because the leaves are going to show their true colours or the air is fragrant, not because ski season is just around the corner. It is, to many, the best time of the year because the fruit of our loin have returned to school. Ahh…normalcy again. But every morning the same question arises—what to feed the trolls? The growing mind and its ability to learn starts at the mouth. What we feed our children will determine if they will learn well that day, spiral into a sugar crash or be more prone to obesity as they grow older. Obesity in adolescents has reached epidemic levels, almost tripling since 1980. Many of my patients are teachers and I ask them what most kids eat for lunch. Most do well, some do not. I have known parents to place their young children on a diet. Please, do not place your child on a diet, but rather give them good wholesome food and teach them that food is not the enemy, it is fuel. I know of a little girl who’s mom grounded her from eating junk food and she replied, “Then please stop buying it.” Smart kid.

THINKING FOOD SMART

Don’t give them those “insta-lunches.” We all have seen them. They are those peel back the cellophane and eat-type meals. I call them garbageables. These are my most hated foods for developing minds. I would not feed them to my dog. They are full of nitrates, hydrogenated oil, trans fatty acids and sugar. Use this as a nice rule; if it comes out of a box it is overly processed, it is garbage. Don’t load them with juice boxes, fruit leather and cookies. This is far too much sugar for their physiological ability to process. Too much sugar will send them into a sugar shock and cloud their minds later in the day. Fruit gets a bad wrap. There are some good ones out there and there are

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel those to avoid. Some acceptable fruits include berries of any kind, apples, plums or grapes. There are some fruits that have too much sugar in them such as bananas, pineapples, oranges and watermelon. All vegetables are suitable. Give them some veggies and a yogurt dip followed by the mandatory: “Bring back the container!” A good stew, chowder or soup in a thermos is a nice and convenient idea. Just bring back the thermos! I ask you to read the label and make sure there is no MSG, hydrogenated fats or artificial flavouring

in it. Pizza is a no-no. With respect to fluid, a water bottle is best. Most definitely pop and juice boxes are out of the question. A study that just took place in the UK found that decreasing pop by one can a day with children will decrease their chances of obesity by 26 per cent and their susceptibility to juvenile diabetes by 34 per cent. Save the pop for movie night, if you must. Many of my patients ask me if any of those protein bars are any good for their children to take to school. Make absolutely sure that there are no artificial sweeteners or hydrogenated fats in them. These compounds are listed as excitotoxins and can cause degenerative brain disease in some people. This is especially true in children because their blood brain barrier has not fully formed and the

But make sure that it is used as a snack and not the bulk of their meal. They are not to be used as a meal replacement. My wife is brilliant, she will give the children a gel cap of essential fatty acids and a multivitamin. Natural factors has a supplement called Learning Factors which is an excellent supplement for these wee ones to take to school. Their health is your responsibility.

Pay tribute to the past as we move forward

here is a sense of irony to how as time moves forward, the importance for our need to remember the past increases. That concept tends to be a tad difficult with each passing year – since those that helped create our history tend to die leaving those alive with less knowledge or memory of what it is they are trying to remember. There is no better example of that than Armistice Day or Remembrance Day. Next week millions of people around the world will gather to pay honour and tribute to the multitude of men and women who gave up their lives for a cause they believed in. The majority of those paying tribute were not even born when the final bullets of the second or first great wars ended. We honour those heroes largely based on the history lessons taught to us by our parents and grandparents, educators, books or television. Thankfully the closest I actually ever came to the horrors of war was taking

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge part in some peace protests as a young teen regarding the Vietnam War. However, my life, like so many others, was certainly impacted by the reality of war. I will never forget the ranting and ravings of my grandfather who was horribly wounded in the first war and lost his only son in the second. I still remember the sorrow in my mother’s eyes when she recalled losing her only brother at age 21 in Italy. My Uncle Roy’s photograph sits in my living room, a reminder of what was and what may have been. I look at his military picture almost every day and feel like I am looking at the face of a man I know well —yet we never met. I am not alone. Millions of Canadians are fortunate enough to enjoy the freedoms we do because of Roy and many,

many more young soldiers who died scared and cold in the bloody, muddy fields of some far off land. The significance of what they did has never escaped my mind – and I truly thank them for their supreme sacrifice. I am also thankful that barring any sudden shift in things, I will finish my time on this planet without having to go to war or watch my kids or my friends children have to do the same. I am a huge believer in showing support to our fallen men and women on Remembrance Day— however like some I see the need to remember our veterans on other days of the year as well. Two other days are especially significant in honouring the extreme effort—Christmas and any election date—be it municipal, provincial, or federal. Without their effort none of us would have the freedom and right to vote. We would not have the ability to yell and scream about what clowns the Senate is, or how much of a loser Toronto’s mayor is - without the price paid by veterans. I believe there is no better way to honour our

war dead than to get out and execute our right to vote at every election – even if the vote is simply one of protest. Ironically, there are those who insist that voting in elections be mandatory – however I find that a hypocrisy of the purpose they fought. Freedom is about choice—and as disturbing and insulting as I believe it to be when someone does not vote—it is still that person’s choice. Forcing someone to vote mocks the freedom of choice. I believe Christmas is another important day to celebrate our freedom. Not only is Christmas about faith and the right to hold your own values dear —it is also about family—past and present. Christmas is about memories and remembering – and about celebrating life. Of late I have heard numerous comments that decorating or talking about Christmas before Nov. 11 is wrong or insulting. I don’t share that thought. Certainly it is not appropriate on Nov.11 itself, however, I know of no veteran who would want us to not look for-

ward or plan for Christmas on any day with the exception of Nov. 11. Remembrance Day is celebrated on Nov.11 for historic reasons— however in reality—we should celebrate and honour those brave men and women every day of the year. I hope on Remembrance Day this year you take the time to stop and remember—that you bow your head in respect, say a few words of thanks, and truly take stock in how lucky we are to be here today, in Canada, in a free and wonderful place to live. ••• Speaking of celebrating life, I remind readers that this year’s 9th annual Night of the Arts concert is set for the Kelowna Community Theatre on Saturday, Nov.16 (see story on A16). Make note of the earlier start this year with the doors opening at 5:30 p.m. and the concert starting at 6:30. Admission is by donation and proceeds go towards Metro Community and their work with the homeless in our community. It promises to be a fabulous night of music. See you there.

Contest winning xeriscape garden in a natural setting

inner of the Best Large Landscape in the 2013 Okanagan Xeriscape Garden Contest was Jane Youngberg. In 2001 when Jane and family bought their acreage in upper Ellison, the house was surrounded by a very large lawn bordered with well established beds of hybrid roses and junipers. Shortly after moving in, the natural water supply to the property changed drastically when road construction above the property rerouted the spring runoff that fed the well. By the end of the first summer there was barely enough water to supply the house. In 2005 through necessity and the desire to have a garden, Jane and family began to create a xeriscaped environ-

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele ment of native plants, aggressive re-seeders and spreading varieties—to fill up the spaces. Jane states: “Some may say an over-use of certain plants, but anything that can survive on NO water is a welcomed friend here. They have endured many times of true drought, with no access to water due to water shortages from our well, or other mechanical problems and therefore if a plant can’t survive the Okanagan heat with no water, then it just won’t be very happy in our gar-

den.” To add to the challenge, her plants must also be deer-proof. A large area of lawn has been replaced by a desert-like garden of hardy cactus (Opuntia species), Yucca filamentosa and Yucca glauca, yarrow, California poppies, and blue lyme grass (Elymus arenarius). A sand dune/beach effect was created with some large pieces of driftwood, a few very large rocks and a deep mulch of pea gravel around the plants. Even though the rock increases the heat effect, all of these plants do well in this setting, without supplemental water, as their natural habitat is in dry, rocky or sandy places. Rapidly spreading blue lyme grass also

Other garden beds include hardy ice plant (Delospermum), many varieties of sedums, lavender, blue fescue, and hens and chicks. German iris varieties have abundant blooms in June.

Russian sage has a shrub-like presence with a mass of blue flowers in summer. Elfin thyme grows between flagstones in the paths. The property is in a natural landscape. This is the easiest, no maintenance, no irrigation landscape. Jane has encouraged the native plants and added more including sumac, wild rose, Oregon grape, and Saskatoon.

Scientists to speak to health risk of genetically engineered foods A cross-Canada tour by Canadian scientists to speak to the issue of genetically engineered foods and the impact on our health will make a stop in Kelowna. Sponsored by the Kelowna chapter of the Council of Canadians, Okanagan Greens, True Food Foundation, Society for a GE Free BC and Green-

peace, the forum will take place Sunday, Nov. 24, 7 p.m., at the Okanagan College student theatre on the Kelowna campus, 1000 KLO Rd. In Canada, genetically engineered or modified salmon, apples, and alfalfa are close to entering the marketplace. The groups behind the forum tour

believe it is more important than ever for Canadians to have the opportunity to discuss their concerns about these foods. Among the presenters at the Nov. 24 forum will include Dr. Thierry Vrain, a retired geneticist who now advocates against genetically engineered foods, and Dr. Shiv Chopra, a

former Health Canada senior scientific advisor who blew the whistle on Monsanto’s GE bovine growth hormone (rBGH). Their speeches will address the science behind genetically engineered foods, the documented effects of these foods on human health, and concerns about the approval process of GE

foods in Canada. For more information, contact Carol Kergan via email at carol.kergan@alumni.ubc.ca or either go to the website gefreebc.wordpress.com/gefoodstour or check out the Facebook Event Page https://www.facebook. com/events/164754313731467/.

CONTRIBUTOR

ST. CROIX, U.S. Virgin Islands—The blue skies over St. Croix are dotted with clouds that create just enough shadow to cut the glare of sun on water. As my little rental car wheezes up the steep, twisting road, the sea is below on my right, a deep sapphire streaked with aquamarine. On my left, lush slopes in a thousand shades of green sweep gently up, the creep of foliage interrupted now and then by a house positioned for the best views of the water. I’m searching for the road to Cane Bay when I come around a curve and enter what looks like a tropical rainforest. Dense trees form a canopy over the road, their trunks almost hidden by thick ferns and enormous leaves. Vines and roots dangle from branches, and it feels like the malevolent forest of fairytales. Finally I emerge into the flatlands, far from the sea, and it is clear that Cane Bay is somewhere behind me. Lost again. This is my first visit to St. Croix, and I’m finding navigation a challenge. I am disoriented by driving on the left and hampered by the lack of street signs. But I love to explore new places, and this drive, full of wrong turns and scenic distractions, is tak-

ing me to parts of the island I probably wouldn’t have visited if I’d brought a GPS. St. Croix, which has been a U.S. territory since 1917, shares the advantages of the other U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Thomas and St. John, for a U.S. traveler: no passport required; same language; same currency as on the mainland. The island offers plenty to entertain a visitor, starting with the beaches. Cane Bay on the north shore is popular with snorkelers, and Cane Bay Wall, where the bottom abruptly drops from about 40 feet to a depth of more than 3,000 feet, is a favourite of divers. Buck Island Reef National Monument, a mar-

ine sanctuary just off the island’s northeast shore, is part of the U.S. National Park system. Mostly encircled by a coral reef, it has one of the world’s few snorkeling trails and two dive sites. Underwater markers tell about the sea life. Salt River Bay National Historical Park and Ecological Preserve, created in 1992, offers scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking and hiking. It is an important archaeological site with the physical remains of three pre-Columbian cultures, as well as an important environmental site with large mangrove forests. It also has a bioluminescent bay, where micro-organisms called dinoflagellates glow in the dark. I’ve booked a moon-

light kayaking tour of the bay. Much of the island’s history involves the sugar industry. The ruins of sugar mills are scattered around the island, some of them incorporated into the landscaping of homes, restaurants and resorts. Estate Whim Museum, created from a restored 18th century sugar plantation, tells the story of the slave labour used on the plantation. Visitors can tour the Cruzan Rum Distillery and taste the rum, which today is made primarily with molasses from elsewhere in the Caribbean. In the island’s two cities, Frederiksted and Christiansted, I can dine and browse shops and museums.

AT St. George Village Botanical Garden, on a former sugar plantation on St. Croix, the gardens are overgrowing the stone ruins.

I knew before I got here that Crucians, as island residents call themselves, drive on the left side of the street. I’m not clear why, since this is a U.S. territory, not British. Unlike in Britain, however, the driver’s seat is on the left. “I’m a little intimidated by trying to remember to drive on the left,” I tell the attendant at the airport exit as I hand her my rental-car contract. “Here’s the secret,” she responds. “You only have to remember this: When you’re driving at home, you’ve got concrete—pavement—on your left. But here you’ve got grass. So just think: grab the grass. Reach out of your car window and grab the grass because that’s where you’re supposed to be.” One day I decide to tour the island, to go where the road takes me. The island is only 28 miles long and seven miles wide, so how lost can I get? I’m puzzled by the lack of signs. The road is lined with blooming trees and shrubs, the same ones I see in Miami: The red-orange poinciana; pink and scarlet hibiscus; bougainvillea in pink and purple; clusters of tiny pink flowers that I don’t recognize.

the shoulder to shoot a few photos of the bucolic scene. Suddenly several dozen goats are coming toward me, running, loping, skidding down the hill, bleating and crying raucously. I hurry back into

the car, worrying whether the fence at the bottom of the hill will restrain them. This must be how they get fed—someone pulls up in a truck and throws a bale or two of feed over the fence—and they are expecting food from me.

Find the right candidate here...

By the time I drive off, the first wave of goats has made it to the foot of the hill, and they stand there crying at me. Fortunately, the fence holds. A few turns later, I come unexpectedly upon the Divi casino, the island’s only one. I like to play blackjack, and more than that, I like to observe other players. I like the laughter, the stories, the impulsive decisions, the rueful remarks. But these gamblers are serious. No laughter, no stories. I move on.

One day I go to St. George Village Botanical Garden, where more than 1,000 varieties of plants grow among the ruins of a Danish sugar plantation. Here also, many of the plants are familiar— orchids, bromeliads, palm trees, mango trees, heliconia, gingers—and there are rare and endangered species of the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico as well. The ruins and crumbling walls have been incorporated into the gardens. Workers’ quarters, blacksmith’s shop, water

From there, I go on to Frederiksted, which is where cruise ships dock. Although it is the largest of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Croix is not a busy cruise destination even in winter. Christiansted is more inviting. If you walk a few blocks uphill, past the shops and galleries, you encounter crumbling buildings. But down by the water are a boardwalk and a marina. They don’t

If you are seriously considering buying furniture in the near future, now is the time to visit La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries of Kelowna Moonlight Madness is a semi-annual clearance event like no other. Here’s why. Twice a year the factory hosts an International Trade Show where all the new products are introduced to the world. We have just returned from the North Carolina Market and have truckloads of new introductions rolling into Kelowna. Moonlight Madness is the markdown sales event where we clear-out last season’s models, discontinued fabrics and all excess inventory to make room for incoming inventory. Many items are limited to stock on hand and no rain-cheques can be issued at these prices. With pressure to reduce inventory and make room in our warehouse, price reductions are dramatic.

It’s the Clearance Event that people will wait for and it’s taking place this week! Sale Runs From Halloween To Nov. 3, 2013

owning a car. Once you have a vehicle in mind, get an insurance quote. Regular maintenance costs are easily figured but some cars can be very expensive if parts have to be brought in from around the world. Once you have a handle on the above, you can narrow your choice. It is important you like the looks of the second most expensive purchase of your life. However, make sure it serves its intended purpose by answering some questions. Typically, how many people do you need to transport and how far? Is there enough stowage space in the cabin and the trunk or luggage compartment? Do you need V8 power or will an economical four-cylinder suffice? Now go and kick some tires at a variety of dealerships and consider multiple brands because they all have much to offer.

Question of the week How likely are you to buy a hybrid or electric car in the next year? Go to drivewayBC.ca to submit your answer.

Safety Tip Heavy rain can seriously reduce visibility and make road surfaces more difficult to stop on. Please make sure your wipers are in good condition and increase your following distance to at least four seconds.

Canadian Choice: Compact cars compact SUVs So many cars to choose from, so few words available in this tight space! Yes, I know that’s the complaint of every writer but we truly do have a lot of choice today. And the quality of vehicles is so much higher than it ever was so there is much to celebrate. In the run-up to 2014, I will be testing a lot of what’s new and improved. Today, I’ll just offer you five models to consider adding to your shopping list.

Toyota believes this new Corolla can take the overall sales crown away from the Honda Civic. Zack Spencer

2014 Mazda3 The compact car segment in Canada is the biggest by far, with over 20 percent of all vehicles sold. So, the introduction of the Mazda3 is important because it is currently the fourth best seller in this class. The outgoing car was already one of the best handling cars and now with a lighter and sexier looking body, this new car is both eye catching and solid on the road. The base engine is a 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp, thanks to direct injection. The larger 2.5L engine puts out a healthy 184hp. It is the interior buyers will care most about, and the Mazda3 is a nice surprise, due to class leading available options and a high level of finish. Starting at $15,995 and running up to $29,895, there is a Mazda3 for all budgets.

2014 Toyota Corolla Continuing with the compact car theme, the Toyota

’’

Corolla is the third best selling car in Canada but Toyota believes this new model can take the overall sales crown away from the Honda Civic. This new 2014 model is made, and partly designed, right here in Canada with our needs in mind. The Corolla now has a longer wheelbase for amazing interior space, especially in the back seat. The dash is wide and flat for ample room and covered in nice looking and feeling materials, plus there is an available centre screen to use for the radio and backup camera. Powering the 2014 Corolla is the same 132hp 1.8L engine from the last model, with one exception. The LE Eco model has a modified valve system to improve fuel economy and pump the power to 140hp. The biggest change is the introduction of a continuously variable transmission for a greater range of gears, improved economy, and a smooth drive.

2014 Volkswagen Golf This new Golf will be made in Mexico along side the Beetle and Jetta sedan and will go on sale in the spring of 2014. It is wider and longer than the last Golf but also significantly lighter and safer. The base engine will be a new turbocharged 1.8L engine with 170hp but don’t worry the TDI diesel is carried over. The sportier GTI trim is fantastic, with an estimated 225hp, in the Spencer on page 8

Five fun and sporty cars at the right price

Kia Soul

‘‘

A few pocket rockets available on the market might not compete for the top power specs, but can certainly get the party started.

Alexandra Straub

SKYACTIV. Two engines and transmissions are offered. There’s the 2.0L, 4-cylinder SKYACTIV engine with a 6-speed manual transmission or an available 6-speed automatic transmissionavailable on either the base GX or mid-grade GS models. It produces 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. Then there’s a 2.5L, 4-cylinder SKYACTIV engine for the GT trim, which only comes with a 6-speed automatic. It generates a healthy 184 horsepower and 185 lb-ft of torque. Either is a treat to drive with excellent urban or extra urban characteristics. 2014 Fiat 500L- starts at $19,995 For Fiat fans, if the 500 was too small, here’s your answer: the 500L. The longer wheelbase cutie is more practical than the pint-sized version and has more room. And two more doors! Powering it is a 1.4L, 4-cylinder, MultiAir turbo engine that pumps out 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Since it’s a bigger car, it feels bigger to drive. But visibility isn’t compromised and there are a couple of great gearboxes to choose from: a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed Euro Twin Clutch automatic transmission. Toyota Corolla- starts at $15,995

57 condensed A vehicle doesn’t have to be exorbitantly expensive, have mega horsepower or a fancy Italian badge on it to be fun to drive. In fact, a lot of people seem to agree with that statement too since there are a few pocket rockets available on the market that might not compete for the top power specs, but can certainly get the party started. Ford Fiesta ST- $24,499 If its exterior colour, say the one clad in Green Envy, doesn’t catch your eye, perhaps its exhaust note will. When you rev 1.6L, 4-cylinder, turbocharged, EcoBoost engine of the Fiesta ST, you’ll probably turn your head. Yes, it’s a subcompact but it doesn’t feel like it when you’re working through the gears of the 6-speed manual transmission. Ford’s newest mini powerhouse comes with a whopping 197 horsepower and 202 lb-ft of torque. It’s the same engine paired with the Focus ST, but in a smaller packaged. Its sport infused suspension, gearbox, phenomenal handling and host of creature comforts sound good to you, it’s even better to drive. You just might make your friends green with envy because you’re having so much fun behind the wheel. Mazda3 Sport- starts at $15,995 For the 2014 model year, Mazda completely overhauls their number-one selling sedan and hatchback: the 3. Expect more mature (but not dated) styling, a driver-focused cabin and a host of technological gadgetry that makes staying “connected” behind the wheel more user friendly. Of course, without trying to take away focus from the act of driving. Among its tweaked features, you’ll find brand new interior and exterior styling along with the implementation of their high compression ratio engines, better known as

Trucks that tempt a yee-hi BC is truck country and there is a multitude of products to pick from whether you are weekend oddjobber or need something to haul your tools to the job site.

place to start your search for the truck that will suit you best in 2014. The 2014 GMC/Chevy Silverado/Sierra ½ ton pickup has gone through some monumental changes this year. What an improvement over last year with a very comfortable and refined interior on all trim levels, and three engine choices, the Eco Tec 4.3L V6, 5.3l v8, and the 6.2l V8. With so many changes and enhancements to this vehicle you will really have to wait for my full review on this vehicle in the coming weeks to get the complete picture. 2014 Ford F150 Ecoboost. With more than 100,000 Eco Boost engines produced monthly, you can bet a majority of these engines are finding their way into the 2014 F150 pickup. This truck holds the record in Canada for highest pickup sales, and at 12.9/9.0 L/100 km (city/highway) it keeps the money in your wallet a little longer. 2014 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel. This is a much-anticipated truck from RAM and is one I am anxious to see. With a 3.0 L V6 Diesel engine with a torqueflite eight speed transmission. Not only will it give you 420 pound feet of torque and plenty of towing capabilities, it will also reduce co2 emissions and run on B20 Biodiesel. It’s a game changer. 2014 Toyota Tundra. New body style this year, impressive hood and fender

design. Toyota has also included a Western themed truck called 1794 Edition, which happens to be the founding year of a Texas ranch where the Tundra plant is now situated. This truck’s interior is covered with Saddle tan brown leather seats and rich maple wood grain panels throughout. The Tundra is powered by a 4.6 Litre or a 5.7 Litre engine. Can it compete with the big boys? – This is the year to see. 2014 RAM ProMaster. After a long run with the Dodge full-size RAM van there was a void in the marketplace for a spacious cargo van, a void that was quickly gobbled up by Mercedes Sprinter, and the Nissan NV. Based on the Fiat Ducato, this van has some RAM branding of its own and is available in a wide range of wheelbase options and two roof heights. Engine choices will be the Penastar 3.6 Litre V6 or the turbocharged 3.0 litre EcoDiesel four cylinder engine. There is plenty of excitement around this vehicle. If you want to talk trucks or chat about what might make your truck ‘purty’, please drop me a line. I would also like to see pictures of what you have done to your truck in the way of customization. ian.harwood@drivewaybc. ca

A myth abounds among self-righteous, over-cautious drivers that only one left-turning car at a time is permitted to enter an intersection on a green light. Those who adhere to this unwritten ‘rule’ annoy those behind and hold up the flow of traffic. It is especially annoying when so many larger BC centres have intersections large enough to accommodate two and often three vehicles. What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

city/highway): 4.4 L/100km Acceleration (0 to 100 km/ hour): 9.0 seconds. Braking (100 to 0 km/hour): 47.1 meters Honda Accord Hybrid is the first full-hybrid from Honda. Its unique two-motor powertrain operates in three distinct driving modes in which the Atkinson cycle engine is completely de-coupled (EV) used as an electrical generator (Hybrid) or drives the wheels (Engine). The result is incredibly good fuel economy, considering this is a fully equipped (including leather and nav), big sedan. The under-hood powertrain gymnastics are barely discernible inside the cabin.

There’s a new breed of hybrids hitting the streets that are closer in performance and price to their gasoline counterparts. Not only has the hybrid driving experience improved, lighter and more compact new battery technology takes away less cargo space and fuel economy is even better, especially with plug-in technology. Hybrids not only save on gasoline, they also save on maintenance, especially brake system repairs, and they typically come with longer drivetrain warranties. These new hybrid examples are all entries for 2014 Canadian Car of the Year. The braking and acceleration stats are from the recent Testfest evaluation event. Jetta Hybrid is not just the first Volkswagen hybrid; it’s the first hybrid with a turbocharged gas engine and a rapid-shift 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox (DSG), instead of the usual CVT automatic. A compact lithium-ion battery pack also takes up less trunk space and even allows a pass-through feature (with fold-down rear seats) for longer items. Preserving Jetta’s sport-sedan qualities, the hybrid’s electric motor boosts powertrain performance and optimizes fuel economy. A clever “power meter” on the instrument panel translates what’s happening under-hood into an easy to understand driving efficiency gauge. Price: $28,490 to $35,300 Fuel economy (combined

Zack: So many cars, SUVs to test ger or more expensive midsized or larger SUV. Under the hood is a 2.5L 4-cylinder used in other Nissan products and is matched to a new continually variable transmission featuring more available ratios and reduced friction. The interior is very well executed, with a dash that looks similar to the bigger Pathfinder. Goes on sale just before Christmas.

your buck when purchasing the workaday wheels. Loaded top-of-the-line flagship models frequently nip at the heels of their premium brand siblings. But does Merc have a deal for you! – The sporty 2014 Mercedes CLA, which stands for Coupe-Light A Class, starts at under $34,000. It sits on the less than sport B250 hatchback platform but this sloping roof coupe-style four-door sedan is all fun.

Under the hood is a 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, matched to a 7G seven-speed dual clutch transmission generating 208 horsepower for the front-wheel drive machine. It is also fast as I discovered at the launch in the South of France — zero to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds and a top speed of 240 km/h. Estimated fuel consumption is around 6.2L/100kms. It also performed well on the very twisty mountain roads that roll away from the sun-blessed Mediterranean coast. Audi is a powerhouse across its model-range but you can expect to pay

premium prices for these powerful and beautifully crafted machines that just eat up the miles, sorry kilometres, on roads worldwide. Travelling the motorways of the UK, you could be forgiven for thinking you are in Germany: every other cars seems to be either a BMW 3-Series/5-Series or Audi 3, 4 or 6! The 2014 Audi S4 Sedan would tempt me if I had 53-grand-plus to in my jeans. Load it up and you will soon hit 60 and more. A few days in an S4 recently on a deserted high-speed highway south of the border spoiled me. The supercharged 3-litre TFSI

V6 pumps out 333 horses and, with the aid of sixspeed manual dual-clutch transmission, pushes the all-wheel drive S4 to 100 km/h in just 5.1 seconds. It’s not just about performance: the leather interior is beautifully crafted and comfy to boot, which is not always the case with some of today’s leather upholstered cars. Infiniti is an unabashed fan of Audi, in fact its brass frequently talk publicly about wanting to emulate the high standard set across its range by the German manufacturer. Now it’s looking to pass Lexus and tailgate the big three German premium brands. The Infiniti Q50 is the first evidence that this is not some idle threat. It has the fingerprints of four-time F1 champ Sebastian Vettel on it though, I am told, not nearly as many dabs as the highly-anticipated Q30 due later next year. On looks alone, it demands attention. It sports the popular coupe-styling but the sloping rear doesn’t impinge dramatically on head room for back seat passengers.

The base Q50 has a 3.7-litre V-6 engine putting 328 horsepower at the car’s disposal. The 6.7 litres/100 km highway fuel economy is an eyebrow raiser. Starting sticker price is $37,500, which demands those in the market for a premium brand should put the car on their tire-kicking list. My next choice might surprise, but the BMWi3 electric car knocked me out when I attended its

launch the other week in Amsterdam (featured in the first Driveway). It has a range of 160 kilometres, sells for $45,000 and if you cough up another $4,000 for the gas-powered range extending generator the far horizon is the limit! One brief mention because a full test follows soon. The 2014 Acura MDX marks the strengthening of this Honda premium brand product in the mid-sized SUV segment.

The three-row seven-seater has come under challenge in recent years. The longer all-new body with its lower stance distinguishes it considerably from the outgoing model. With a starting price just below $50,000, it features a solid 3.5-litre, 290 hp V6 that consumes just 7.7 litres of gas on the highway. keith.morgan@drivewaybc. ca Twitter.com/ChangeGears

She was a very independent woman who had various small businesses and renovated small houses. Edith’s passions as time moved on were dogs, gardening and reading.

Those wishing to make memorial donations, may be made to the Salvation Army and or the SPCA. Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free I’m following the path, God laid for me I took his hand, when I heard him call I turned my back and left it all If my parting has left a void then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, and yes these things I too will miss Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don’t lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart, and share with me, God wanted me now, he set me free.

BERNARD, ALISON November 28,1959 – November 5, 2013 “Those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves”. Each of us who knew and loved Alison basked in the glow of her love, kindness and strength. Her life has taught that no mountain is too high to climb and that each day brings new possibilities. In 1959 ‘Ali’ was born to Marguerite Bernard of Kelowna, BC and David Bernard of Carstairs, AB. She had a happy childhood growing up in New Zealand, Alberta and British Columbia. Though diagnosed with juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at a young age, it didn’t stop her from keeping up with her siblings Diane, Judy, Brian, Robyn and her love of children made her a favourite auntie to her nieces and nephew. Her sunshine continues to light our hearts until we are with her again. In lieu of flowers and in honor of Ali’s loving spirit, do something kind for someone today. May God bless you as you shine on “Our Sweet Girl”. Messages of condolence may be sent to the family by visiting www.HansonsFuneral.ca

Love Sheila & Family

It’s difficult to believe that you left us 30 years ago on Remembrance Day. At the time, we joked that you would appreciate the irony of the date – that we would always remember you on that day. But of course, we always remember you because you live on in our hearts and memories. Ron—father, husband, son, brother, uncle, nephew, and friend to so many. Sadly, destined never to enjoy watching Vanessa grow up to become a beautiful, accomplished young woman or be grandfather to Vanessa and Micheal’s four delightful children. We remember your love of family, friends and community; your wacky, infectious sense of humour; and your talent as we still enjoy the furniture and other objects you made and see the houses you built. Ron, you continue to live on in the lives of those you loved and who love you still.
