People to blame for bear conflicts A

s the first dart hit, the big bear whimpered and scrambled a couple of feet further up the big pine tree adjacent to the house, but a little later his bowels loosened and a stream of plastic bags, tin can lids, paper and excrement fell to litter the garden below.

If there was any question before about the possibility of successfully re-locating the big black bear, that settled it, since numerous attempts at relocation of garbage-habituated bears have proven futile in the past.

Capital News reporter Judie Steeves looks into what answers there are to the problem dangerous bears pose in residential neighbourhoods.

Smell of garbage lures hungry bears Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

B

ears who have become used to eating human foods such as garbage always return to human settlements and to their old habits of scavenging around houses and people, say conservation officers.

The caloric value of those foods is much higher than that of their natural forest feed.

However, Kelowna conservation officers Ken Owens and Terry Myroniuk had responded to a safety concern about a large bear up a tree within a few feet of a house in a residential neighbourhood, and they’d still hoped they could tranquilize him and move him instead of killing him.

“We feel horrible when we have to kill an animal. He’s scared of people and then he comes into town and finds easy food; starts to get into garbage; begins to damage property or becomes dangerous, and next thing we’re called in and have to put him down,” explains Owens.

“This puts a huge stress on us. And, so many of those deaths could be prevented.

“It’s not a bear problem; it’s a people problem. If people didn’t attract bears into neighbourhoods by leaving food out for them, they would soon wander on.”

Bears have an amazing sense of smell, he says, and garbage is the number one attractant, so people need to keep their garbage inside or in bearproofed containers until the morning of garbage collection day.

Insp. Barb Leslie, operations manager for this region of the CO service, warns that anyone who attracts dangerous wildlife by such actions as leaving garbage out is liable for an immediate fine of $345, or a court appearance.

Those who attract bears are not only making their own neighbourhoods unsafe, but are also sentencing to death the bears they attract, she says.

Municipalities and regional districts need to partner up and enact bylaws that require residents to remove attractants from their properties or keep them out of reach. It’s about accountability, she says.

It was with that in mind that conservation officers were invited this fall

by West Kelowna Coun.

Rick de Jong to do a presentation for council about preventing bear-human conflicts.

De Jong has seen black bears sauntering down the middle of his street in upper Glenrosa mid-day, even though they’re normally nocturnal.

He realizes people in the community need to take more responsibility

JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

CONSERVATION OFFICER Ken Owens demonstrates a retro-fitted garbage cart, which can be latched to prevent access by bears. for their actions.

It’s our habits, like putting the garbage out the night before pick-up day that attract bears into neighbourhoods, he admits.

“This is a beautiful rural area, but we have to take responsibility and have respect for wildlife.

A number of our neighbourhoods are in interface areas, so it’s an issue we should look at as a community. We should support the CO service,” de Jong says.

Owens told councillors that complaints about bears go to a central call centre in Victoria, but there are far too many for conservation officers to deal with all of them— and anyway, they can’t have any impact in the long-term unless people stop leaving out attractants such as garbage, bird feeders, dirty barbecues, pet food, fruit and nuts.

But, there is a program available that helps educate the community about what can be done to

deal effectively with the problem.

It’s a provincial program coordinated by the B.C. Conservation Foundation, called Bear Aware.

It also deals with other problem wildlife such as coyotes, deer and cougars under the WildSafe B.C. program.

It’s a program that de Jong says he would personally support for West Kelowna.

These programs already exist in the South Okanagan and the North

Okanagan, leaving a gap in the middle of the valley.

The Okanagan Similkameen Regional District program is run by Zoe Kirk, who says since she began it in 2010 the number of bears that have had to be killed has dropped right off in that region as have the number of complaints about human-wildlife conflicts.

She offers the program in six municipalities and eight electoral areas in that regional district, saying the program began with a Bear Hazard Assessment that involved the environment ministry as well as the South Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Program. They then moved on to a Bear Conflict Management Plan.

But initially, local government needs to enact a bylaw requiring that residents deal responsibly with their attractants.

Templates for such bylaws are readily available from communities such as Whistler, says Owens.

Kirk says the best thing about the program is not only are people no longer unsafe because of bear activity near their homes and schools, but “We don’t need to destroy wildlife any more.”

She says the whole valley needs to have the program in operation because bears travel around.

They tagged a bear in Summerland this summer and it ended up later be-

ing shot in Peachland by COs after getting into garbage there.

She notes that in the first year of the program the bear cubs—who are conditioned by their garbage-bear moms—will be going up and down the road saying, “Who shut the restaurant?”

“Everyone has to pull together and remove the attractants to get bears to go away,” she adds.

Frank Ritcey, provincial coordinator for the program, echoes Kirk’s sentiments. “It’s up to local residents,” he says.

The COs will only deal with a problem if public safety is threatened or property damage has been done, he says.

“You’ll continue to have conflicts as long as you don’t deal with the cause. COs have neither the manpower nor the time to do public education. You need to get ahead of it.”

Some communities, like Grand Forks, feel the program is important enough to pay the entire cost of $15,000 a year to get it going in their community, he says.

But most years, he says there is some provincial funding available to help communities out with a grant to get started, and sometimes it only costs the community $2,500.

“We would really like to see the gap filled in the Central Okanagan,” he says.

In 2012-13, of the 1,405 bear calls received by the Victoria call centre from the North Okanagan Zone, 607 were from the Kelowna area, and 269 of those were from the West Kelowna area.

That was double the

number from the previous year. Most of them were bears getting into garbage.

The current garbage containers can be retro-fitted with bear-proof locks, notes Owens, or an alternative cart purchased that is bear proof.

There are also lots of plans available for simple bear-proof enclosures for garbage, including for commercial containers.

With a Bear Aware coordinator in this area, information and education-

al materials about such changes people can make to deter bears and make themselves and their neighbourhoods safer, would be made available, he says.

Education is a big part of what such Bear Aware coordinators do, and it can have a huge impact, says Ritcey.

But, he says local government needs to step up to the plate. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

More than 4,600 signatures on it, more than the 10 per cent of registered voters signatures required as part of a provincial campaign to force a referendum on the issue of police enforcement of B.C. pot possession laws.

Earlier in the day, local campaign spokesman Mark Conlin said while the collection of names in Kelowna-Lake Country and Kelowna-Mission is proving difficult, organizers here were delighted to surpass the number needed in Clark’s riding.

“We’re very, very pleased,” he said. “Having the premier’s riding sends a message.”

Under the rules governing B.C. referendums, Sensible B.C. has 90 days to collect the signatures of at least 10 per cent of registered voters in all 85 ridings in the province.

The deadline is Dec. 9 but Sensible BC is aiming to have all campaigns wrapped up by Dec. 4.

It is collecting signatures under the strict guidelines of B.C.’s recall and referendum law.

In B.C., the only successful campaign under the law was the one that led to the repeal of the Harmonized Sales Tax.

marked improvement in the collection numbers now that they are going door to door.

He said in retrospect, door-to-door collection should have started earlier, adding people appear to want canvassers to come to them, as opposed to canvassers being at events around town and expecting the public to seek them out.

But Larsen defended the strategy of being at public events, saying it raised the campaign’s profile in the beginning.

Meanwhile, the provincial government has refused to support Sensible BC’s campaign until there are changes made to federal laws.

Campaigners point out that part of what they are asking for is for Victoria to start talking to Ottawa about changes to federal marijuana possession law enforcement.

The Sensible BC campaign comes after U.S. voters in Washington State and Colorado voted to legalize marijuana last year. awaters@kelownacapnews.com $

Acupuncture can help!

Finding great value in happiness Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Happiness has a lot more going for it than simply making you happy.

Scientific studies have shown it actually makes people more physically healthy and improves the immune system, reports Mark Holder, an associate professor in psychology who studies the science of happiness at UBCO. It also improves career success and even investment returns—if you invest in a happy company—and it results in better relationships.

Happiness also makes you better at forgiving, he said.

“Being vengeful is like drinking poison and expecting the other guy to die,” said Holder, in his presentation to delegates to this week’s Building Sustainable Communities conference put on by the Fresh Outlook Foundation in Kelowna.

Happy people have more tolerance, increased creativity and longer life—an average of 7.2 years longer.

Happiness is also linked to how you’re judged by others and it

There are also many things around us that can influence our feelings of happiness, from natural features to front porches.

Holder says where there are water features there’s a stronger sense of community as there is where people use their front porches.

Green spaces and pathways, if used to enhance leisure instead of just for exercise, also improve communities, as do community gardens— while they encourage social relationships.

enhance social relationships and community satisfaction.

Nature enhances people’s feelings of well-being, physical health, and relieves fatigue. In fact, he says even virtual nature, such as videos and photos of nature have that affect.

Community satisfaction is also enhanced by proximity to green space, while exercise equipment in green spaces draws people, but it’s important it be arranged so people face each other, he said.

The work done on strategies and programs to promote well-being and the science of happiness

by Holder and his team are being used by the developer of New Monaco in Peachland, Mark Holland.

The New Monaco Enterprise Corporation is planning a 125-acre sustainably-planned neighbourhood in the northwest corner of Peachland, between the Okanagan Connector and Highway 97.

Holland told delegates health is the new top line in housing projects, and their goal is to make Monaco the healthiest neighbourhood in Canada.

Within the same neighbourhood, the plan is to include places where people can live, work, play, shop, learn and pray.

“People live longer in a mixed-use neighbourhood,” he said.

Parks and trails will be incorporated throughout the development as will gardens.

Daily gardening results in a 36 per cent lower risk of dementia, he noted.

Acupuncture can help to…

• Relieve back pain and stop suffering • Reduce stiffness so that you can get back to the things you love • Strengthen and heal to prevent your back pain from returning “I was having severe lower back pain. I saw my medical doctor and was given pain killers. I could only sleep 3 hours at a time, waking up in pain.

Tree slaughter in the name of the Lord has got to stop

To the editor: Soon the annual Willow Park Church “Living Nativity Scene,” a three-day event, will be up and running for the enjoyment of the general public and self-aggrandizement of the church and its flock.

And just as soon, a righteous parishioner, possibly a naive citizen and/or perhaps the local media will, in all likelihood, wish to glorify another uninvestigated piece of glitz and glitter. Why? Because it is in the name of the Lord. Has anybody, including me, ever asked themselves: Where do they get all those trees from? Are they real or are they artificial?

I live on Philpott Road in Joe Rich and this past Sunday (Nov. 24), while out for a walk enjoying God’s living, breathing wondrous creations, I came across a group of young men in the process of slaughtering more than 70 living, breathing trees, all for the entertainment of people “in the name of the Lord.”

The boys were very polite, they even had the appro-▼

One and only time I’ll write about Ollie, promise

hen it comes to reading material, nothing has bored me more than the quirky musings of parents who don’t realize their unique view of life as a breeder isn’t so unique or, for that matter, quirky.

A great number of these sorts of parenting-themed scribblings could be summed up thusly: “My child is a jerk and may be out to get me. Just kidding—I hope. Chortle chortle.”

“Shockingly, poop/vomit/drool is grotesque and that’s what my baby does all day—LOL.” “The sun rises and sets on my bundle of joy. Love abounds. XO” “Wowie! This thing is expensive.

I could have had a nice car and a fully

wardrobe, but I KATHARTIC stocked had a baby instead (in-

Kathy Michaels

sert bittersweet emoticon here).”

It’s the type of drivel that could drive one to drink, commit to an existence as a non-breeder or, at the very least, swear to the fates to never write about their foray into reproduc-

tion.

To do so would be a cliché, and there’s nothing worse than that.

But promises are made to be broken, they say, and my guard against being a cliché was toppled by a cheerful little bundle named Ollie, who was sprung from me roughly a year ago.

So blame him for this one-time, never-to-be-repeated parenting love letter.

For the last year I’ve been away

from this desk, covered head to toe in things that I used to balk at if they stuck to the bottom of my shoe and, frankly, it’s been absolutely fabulous.

I’m now aware that there’s more to the inane writing and conversations I deride than an inability to come up with original ideas. It’s truly amazing to see the world of your own little human light up and grow.

It’s also more socially acceptable to offer strands of boring thoughts in conversation or print than it is to stare at your progeny, mouth forced agape by awe and wonder, while tears of absolute joy stream down your cheeks. Seriously, it’s joy. The kind people express when they win the lottery, I think.

That said, I’ve also come to understand that there’s a biological-continuation-of-the-species piece of software that lights up from within as soon as the exit-from-the-womb is completed.

Despite the fact my Ollie arrived p in the world looking a bit like an older M Winston Churchill—something I’ve re- a cently learned from photographic evi- O dence—this time last year I was sing- S t ing the praises of my little beauty.

“Everyone thinks their baby is beauti- n ful, but mine actually is,” I said regularly, with what I believed to be above re- t w proach impartiality. l I now say thank you to all those s who didn’t raise an eyebrow at this t comment. r Thank yous also to those of you I’ve seen along the way who agree he’s d shaping up to be a gorgeous genius. It’s p always nice to have intelligent people i ( reinforce your observations.

Some might say it is magical, won- t derful, challenging, better-than-candy B being a full-time mom, but I won’t— w o that would be boring. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

LETTERS

A Tradition of Sound Advice

▼ GOV’T INEPTITUDE

Livelihoods wait as CRA ignores tax returns To the editor: Over the last 10 months the Office of the Minister of National Revenue, has continually refused to take a position on the practice of the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), Winnipeg Tax Office, withholding the assessments of hundreds, if not thousands, of taxpayers 2012 Income Tax Returns.

Hundreds of taxpayers have written personally to the minister; three petitions from Profitable Giving Canada have been sent to the minister’s office, the last with approximately 1,500 signatures. This issue was addressed by the federal court in the Alice Ficek and the Attorney General of Canada case by the way of a Judicial Review completed May 13, 2013.

The final judgment in that case states: “This Court Adjudges and Declares that for reasons given, the Respondent failed to assess the Applicant’s tax return with all due dispatch.”

There were a number of reasons given which addressed all specific issues and the court refuted all of the reasons that had been put forth by the CRA. As a former auditor/ appeals officer with Revenue Canada before it was ultimately changed to the CRA, and as an income tax consultant assisting taxpayers in exercising their taxpayer bill of rights of the last 29 years, this is to advise and expound

on just one of the reasons given by the courts in the case noted herein.

Namely: “Concerns of superiors at CRA in Ottawa: Head quarters has cautioned that there may be unintended effects on taxpayers’ rights where taxpayers may have rights to certain benefits under the Act, such as Child Tax Benefits and the Goods And Services Tax Credits, as these would be delayed until the assessment of the return.”

These consequences have now affected hundreds, if not thousands, of taxpayers due to the inaction of the office of the Minister of National Revenue.

This [the writer’s] office has not only represented a number of taxpayers regarding this issue, we have also addressed all of the issues in question in writing to Mr. Murray Rankin, Official Opposition Critic for National Revenue on Aug. 1, 2013; to Mr. Scott Brison, Liberal Finance and National Revenue Critic on July 30, 2013; and to Nancy Ricard, CRA service complaints, National Intake Centre on July 22, 2013.

Myself and a taxpayer whom I represented in this matter also met with Mr. Dan Albas, Member of Parliament in the summer of 2013. In addition, these issues were provided to our Finance Minister and it was his decision that the responsibility was that of another ministry.

All of the specific issues

addressed in the Ficek Case have been provided to all parties noted above during this summer of 2013 and there has been no response in this regard.

This obvious abuse of administrative authority practiced by the CRA and condoned, by all parties noted herein by their inaction, has now resulted in punitive actions by third parties. Examples are as follows: Canadian taxpayers are now being refused mortgages on their homes by the banks because they do not have their 2012 Notice of Assessments from the CRA. Canadian taxpayers are now prevented from obtaining personal or business loans to continue their livelihood for the same specific reason.

Canadian taxpayer’s are now being denied legitimate child tax benefits as well, for the exact same reason.

Senior citizens as well as others are being denied their Goods and Service Tax/Harmonized Sales Tax Credits as was the concern of superiors at the CRA in Ottawa as articulated herein.

Taxpayers in British Columbia have been advised that BC Health has stated that their deductible for Pharma Care has been increased to $10,000 as records indicate the CRA does not have a record of their 2012 tax filing.

These consequences noted above have already happened and it is so blatantly obvious that these

will continue for thousands of Canadian taxpayers who have filed their 2012 Income Tax Returns in accordance with income tax law.

This has now surpassed the obvious abuse of administrative authority by the CRA; the obvious disregard for the Canadian taxpayer’s rights, by the office of the Minister of National Revenue as a result of their inaction.

The same lack of respect for taxpayer’s rights is indicated by the complete lack of response of others in the government as noted above.

These actions or inactions by all of the parties noted herein have now resulted in punitive actions taken by other third parties; i.e., banks, BC Health Care and more to come that actually prevent Canadian taxpayers not only from being treated legally and fairly by the CRA under the law but now are actually being prevented from participating in our economic system; some may well lose their homes and their livelihood as the results of actions by Canadian banks; fathers and mothers are denied their legitimate child tax credits; many Canadians are being denied federal and provincial tax credits.

In conclusion; all Canadians have the inherent right to participate in our economic system as outlined by income tax law; banking laws; provincial regulations and many other personal and busi-

ness financial transactions conducted with third parties that are the basis of our rights as Canadians to pursue our livelihood and to our pursuit of happiness.

As a member of Profitable Giving Canada, I urge all affected taxpayers to join with us to do all we can to prevent our fundamental rights from being taken from us. This is much more than an income tax issue; it is actually leading to a breakdown of our entire system and preventing Canadians from being participants in that system.

From a personal viewpoint; throughout my early years I learned that, in Canada, we have government for the people by the people. The ramifications outlined herein cannot, in anyway, give any credence to that most fundamental principle. Moreover; given the opportunity of many government entities to actually respond to these issues over the last seven months on behalf of taxpayers gives credence to the idea that our system is, in fact, broken.

A simple directive from the Office of the Prime Minister could and would reverse these dire, punitive actions by directing those responsible to have the 2012 income tax returns assessed forth with.

Sanctimonious environmentalists trash outdoors priate “permit” from the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (Okanagan Shuswap District) and they said they were doing nothing wrong or illegal.

While in a legal sense that may be true, right and wrong, legally and morally are not necessarily the same thing. At the time they may have been correct but what they were doing, according to the permit, if they even read it, is very questionable.

(As far as we could tell they were following the BC Hydro Guidelines that were on the second page of the permit, they were

not following the Ministry guidelines that were provided as a website address on the first page of the permit) We are checking with the ministry to verify our suspicions.

You may be asking yourself, what’s this guy’s problem?

Well, one, this is a three-day event (three friggin’ days!) and it takes those trees (at the size they cut them) 20 years or more to grow (20 friggin’ years!)—for what? Entertainment?

Abusive or inappropriate conduct is pretty easy to spot and avoid person-to-person.

The web, however, is the ‘Wild West’ of human behaviour.

It’s become a place where abusive or salacious conduct is often the norm and, in turn, a place where teachers and parents fear the young people in their charge to tread.

That, however, is an unfair stigma that students at Okanagan Mission Secondary say they are trying to lift by raising the standard of online discourse as well as highlighting the web as the largest and most accessible educational resource available.

“We’re curating (social media) culture. It is a new tool, and the rules haven’t really been established yet,” said Aaron Obedkoff, a member of the group called Social Media for Change, which has dedicated itself to activating learning around social media.

This week that dedication culminated in a summit that drew in everyone

‘‘

BUT THE WAY MORE PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO LOOK AT THIS IS, IF WE FOCUS ON INTEGRITY AND STUDENT IDENTITY WE CAN INSPIRE PEOPLE TO BE SAME PEOPLE ONLINE AS THEY ARE FACE TO FACE. Alex Couros

from elementary students to teachers interested in harnessing the power of social media as a learning tool and a means to create positive change.

Students Obedkoff, This Rajapakshe, Hannah Moug, Stanley Prescott and Freyn Keller explained Thursday that they have been holding break out sessions with their peers and elementary students, teaching them everything from using their online presence responsibly and denouncing hateful behaviour when it’s encountered to con-

sciously building an “online tattoo.”

“It’s not really an online footprint,” said Prescott.

“A footprint can be washed away with water.

A tattoo is forever, just like something that’s put on the web.”

The lessons they’ve compiled in their group have also been augmented by a speaker they brought in to the city.

Alec Couros is a professor from the University of Regina who’s dedicated to unleashing the power of social media and ensuring young people who are exposed to it are empowered.

In particular, he explained, “digital citizenship” allows students to build positive networks and make change using today’s technologies.

“We can be empowered by new tools (make use of) the networks they provide,” he said.

Students can collaborate with others across the city or across the globe on projects in which they share an interest with tools such a Google-plus, for example.

Or they can access a wealth of online educational material.

And, above all else, they can work to ensure a degree of civility throughout.

“There’s been a lot of media sensationalism around the struggles and pitfalls of technology,” he said.

“The changes it’s had on student attention, the expanse of content, incidents of bullying…but the way more people are starting to look at this is, if we focus on integrity and student identity we can inspire people to be the same online as they are face to face…(there) wouldn’t be such a separation of identity.”

That would make the web a more positive place, he explained.

“Rather than running away from what we don’t know we need to inspire (young people) to learn more about the tool.”

It’s time to connect to new learning opportunities and at the same time to be safe about it.

Garden season ending O n Nov. 16, nine volunteers completed the fall clean-up at the unH2O Xeriscape Gardens.

Some flowers were still blooming so it was hard to cut those plants back. However, the timing was good as everything froze four days later.

The garden is entirely cared for by volunteers —a big thank you to all of them.

This year we have had a new challenge. It began in March with the discovery that voles had found the garden and feasted on the roots of Rudbeckia ‘Goldsurm’, blue gramma grass (Bouteloua gracilis), thrift (Armeria maritima)

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele and ‘Red Riding Hood’ tulip bulbs.

Everything was cut back, plants were replaced (except the bulbs).

The damage stopped and we crossed our fingers. Through spring and summer there was more tunnelling and partial damage to some plants.

In mid-summer, voles found the spectacular ‘Fire of Love’ tulips and

carefully excavated and feasted on each one.

This fall a large evening primrose (Oenothera missouriensis), in the midst of a group, was suddenly lying flat and dead.

Further examination revealed it had been chewed off at the roots.

While cleaning up the garden, we found tunnels and mounds of earth everywhere.

Five large Aster frikartii in two different gardens stood nicely, looking frost-killed like their neighbours, but needed no cutting back, having been chewed off at the roots.

The same had happened to a large Sedum

GWEN STEELE/CONTRIBUTOR

VOLUNTEERS, bundled up against the cold, enjoy camaraderie as they prepare the unH2O Xeriscape Garden for winter.

‘Autumn Fire.’

Several ornamental grasses were partially chewed.

This was very discouraging. The voles have invaded from a weedy, naturalized area across the road from the garden.

Extended Shopping Hours: Monday to Saturday: 9am - 9pm Sunday: 9am - 6pm

To dissuade them from inhabiting the garden this winter, everything has been cut back leaving no place to hide from predators—the garden is now looking very barren.

Normally, plants that have winter interest such as ornamental grasses, tall sedums, and rudbeckias are left standing until spring.

All the evergreen plants (which cannot be cut back without severely damaging or killing them) such as lavender along with the stems/ trunks of shrubs and trees have been sprayed with an organic, non-toxic repellent.

Two kinds are being tested to see if either work.

If you have had success with deterring these little rodents, please let us know what worked.

To help with ideas of what to give to a gardener for Christmas, I have just posted a new Tip of the Month, on the Okanagan Xeriscape Association website home page, with lots of suggestions, both large and small.

••• This is my last column for 2013.

I’ve enjoyed having the opportunity to share my gardening knowledge with you and write about gardening events.

I’ll resume writing the column next March.

If you have ideas for topics you would like me to write about, or comments you wish to pass on, please contact me at info@okanaganxeriscape. org.

Best wishes for a happy, and successful gardening New Year.

to a report from chief administrative officer Jason Johnson, the number of responses represents a confidence level of 95 per cent.

Illegal dumping, street lighting, growth and development planning, sidewalks, economic development and building inspections were other areas respondents suggested need more attention.

Citizens who filled out the survey suggested Johnson Bentley Memorial Aquatic Centre, online services, the public library, playgrounds, arenas and sports fields are areas

Respondents were asked what the most important issues are for West Kelowna to focus on over the next three years.

Top answers included: Trails and sidewalks, lack of space in elementary schools, economic development and Westbank Centre revitalization.

Overall quality of life in West Kelowna is either good or very good, according to over 90 per cent of participants.

president of marketing, said West Kelowna will be Wholesale Sports’ 13th location.

“One of the things we’ve done over the last few years is look at all the potential markets in Canada,” said Holland.

“The Kelowna area is actually a very popular area for hunters…Kelowna came up as a good potential market.”

Describing Wholesale Sports as “one of Canada’s largest stores dedicated to outdoor pursuits,” Holland explained the 20,000-square-foot West Kelowna location will be slightly smaller than most of the other locations.

“It’s more in line with the direction that we see us going as we build new stores.”

Wholesale Sports has already held a hiring fair and Holland expects the store will employ about 30 people.

Glenn Bingley, chief operating officer of Wholesale Sports, described Kelowna as a “sportsman’s and sportswoman’s paradise.”

“It is a natural fit for a retailer dedicated to the outdoors,” said Bingley.

Bingley added Westbank First Nation has been “excellent to work with.”

“Without their collaboration and cooperation, this would have been an impossible task.”

Wholesale Sports carries nearly 30,000 products for the outdoors and has been part of the Canadian outdoor industry for more than 25 years. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

Some long-term thinking needed

A

s I’ve listened this week to dire predictions about our future if we don’t slow growth, about the harm our industrial farming practices are doing to the environment and about efforts to conserve some slices of wild land for birds, fish and wildlife and their habitat, I’m both depressed and encouraged.

I hold out little hope that we will be able to turn this big ship called Earth around before we’ve irreparably harmed what’s left of its natural resources. We just don’t seem willing to consider the possible impacts our actions today could have on the future.

On the other hand, it’s refreshing to hear about collaborations like the South Okanagan Similkameen Conservation Program and the Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program, its counterpart in the north half of the valley, and the work they’re doing to ensure natural features around the valley are protected from agriculture or other development.

They’ve begun by assessing what’s there— whether its riparian areas, wetlands or grasslands— and then taking steps to promote ecologically-sustainable practices and develop strategies for improving biodiversity and conserving those natural features.

Top of the agenda is to maintain connectivity, particularly since the Okanagan Valley is a key north-south corridor for wildlife, as Bryn White of the SOSCP and Carolina Restrepo-Tomayo of the OCCP told delegates to this week’s Building Sustainable Communities conference in Kelowna.

A total of 60 per cent of the Okanagan Basin consists of ecosystems that are high priority— either rare, at risk or sensitive, while 13 per cent are biodiversity hotspots, particularly in the valley bottom, where humans have settled.

Human settlements and transportation routes are barriers to wildlife, so that’s of grave concern.

And, only 10 per cent is designated for conservation, they warned.

In addition, the valley has already lost 85 per cent of its natural wetlands, much of that along rivers like the Okanagan and Mission Creek,

It’s at: www.surveymonkey.com/s/okanagan_wetlands_strategy_phase1 If rivers hold interest for you, or history, or river rafting, river fishing or riverside hiking, then you should head down to Mosaic Books this afternoon, Friday, Nov. 29, 1 to 4 p.m., to meet Bernie Fandrich and have him sign your copy of his

Otherwise, the book will be available at Mosaic Books and other bookstores in the Okanagan, as is a freshly-updated edition of Okanagan Trips and Trails, by myself and Murphy Shewchuk.

Latest Hunger Games has it all–intense action, gorgeous scenery

THE HUNGER GAMES CATCHING FIRE

So where the 74th Hunger Games spawned heroes of Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), the 75th Hunger Games now become a very different scenario.

These two pose a real threat to the Capitol and the control it wields over the Districts. The rebellion that followed after the victory of the two surviving Tributes and the present unrest leads President Snow ( Donald Sutherland) to make rash and far-reaching

decisions.

Mainly, the bylaws state that every 25 years there is a new twist to the Hunger Games (who the heck wrote these bylaws anyway?) and this poses an even greater risk to all the Tributes and threatens to destroy our two heroes.

Filmed in New Jersey, Hawaii, Georgia, and Los Angeles, the scenery is incredible. With certain Cap-

itol scenes shot at the Atlanta Mariott Marquis Hotel, and the most incredible sets and staging, this is a true edge-of-your-seat ride which never lets Susan up. It’s just over two Steen hours, but time flies by just like the show.

As most are aware, this film franchise is a result of books written for mainly young women by Suzanne Collins but has shown that The Hunger Games appeals to all

BEHIND THE SCREEN

audiences, as proved by the cross section of folks that saw this show last weekend.

In fact, The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, brought in over $161 million, one of the largest openings ever and the biggest for a November debut.

The old cast is back, the scenes are spectacular, the action is intense and the ending leaves us wanting more.

This Hunger Games is directed, not by Gary Ross, who declined, but

by Francis Lawrence, who has done such a remarkable job of crafting a

seamless sequel in this incredible series.

This is a must see for anyone who loves the books and the series of films, but this one has a softer side perhaps as our heroes begin to turn the tide of fear into something far more human—but can they survive long enough to see their efforts pay off?

I give The Hunger Games Catching Fire 4 1/2 reels. (Wait ‘til you see the dress!) susansteen1234@shaw.ca

Menotti’s delightful one hour opera tells the story of the young boy Amahl and his encounter with the three kings, en-route to Bethlehem. A rich musical score tells the magical story with humanity, community, fun and a beautiful miracle. Partnering with Alexandra Babbel and Opera Kelowna, this matinee show will bring the spirit of Christmas to the whole family.

A few albums ‘for fans only’

CELINE DION: LOVED ME BACK TO LIFE (COLUMBIA)

This is Celine Dion’s first English language studio album in six years and, in spite of the gap, Dion proves as popular as ever topping the charts in Canada and No. 2 in the USA just behind the new Eminem release.

Dion remains an interpreter of songs where she writes none of the material on this lengthy hourlong, 15-track CD (as in the Deluxe Edition that has two extra songs).

Things start out nicely with Dion’s latest hit and title track Loved Me Back To Life which is an upbeat song about rebirth, Dbut the rest of this album tends to wallow in melodramatic overkill. Songs like Water And A Flame and Didn’t Know Love and Thank You plumb the depths of despair with phrases like “now you’re gone,” “my scars, your lies,” and “it cut me deep” that gets a bit wearisome.

However; there are some interesting tracks that change the channel.

Dion has joined up with contemporary soulster Ne-Yo for a solid R&B ballad titled Incredible, and with Stevie Wonder for a delightful take of his mid-’80s hit Overjoyed from his In Square Circle.

Meanwhile; it seems that Dion has been listening to Shakira records as might be heard on Somebody Loves Somebody, while Ertha Kitt phrasings come to mind on the

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell guitar-driven pop rock of Save Your Soul.

The most interesting song is a cover of Janis Ian’s early ’70s hit At Seventeen that Ian indeed wrote at age 17. The song is a lamentation on prejudice and a then forbidden interracial relationship, whereas later Ian came out of the closet and described the song as her frustrations as a lesbian.

This is an all-ballad album except for the very final track, Unfinished Songs by Diane Warren, which is uptempo and a paint by number carpe diem re: “make the time to make each moment count.”

The Deluxe Edition comes with two extra tracks, a cardboard outer slip case and a few panels of extra photos of the seemingly ageless Dion.

AVRIL LAVIGNE: (EPICRECORDS) Last week Avril Lavigne’s new studio album entered the Billboard charts at No. 5, selling a fraction of the units shifted by front runner Eminem (741,000 to 44K).

Unlike her last album, Goodbye Lullaby where

Lavigne tried her hand at serious adult songcraft, this new self-titled album is a return to the party and mall-brat territory of Sk8er Boi. Unfortunately Lavigne is no longer the teen brat of her debut when she wrote those early songs. She is closing in on 30 and married (her second) to leather-lunged post grunge rocker Chad Kroeger.

Some of these songs are tragically jejune, almost certainly dishonest and well below Lavigne’s chronological years.

Furthermore, Lavigne has a charitable foundation for disabled kids re: R.O.C.K.S: Respect, Opportunity, Choices (!!), Knowledge, Strength and I wonder how she squares this up with the song titled (oddly enough) 17 where the protagonist gets drunk, loses her virginity, runs red lights and “acts stupid for fun.”

The truth is, the aging adult Avril doesn’t sell as well as when she is in irresponsible party brat persona and her adult album Goodbye Lullaby only sold so-so.

This self-titled CD starts with Rock N Roll—a pop song about the notion of rock and roll while including none of it.

Other titles such as Here’s To Never Growing Up, Bitchin’ Summer, and the mechanically sexual Give You What You Like reveals the mindset where Lavigne hopes she can sell some records.

The lowest of the lows is the rough sex S&M

with Marilyn Manson on the creepy Bad Girl.

I never accepted Lavigne as much of a punk rocker as they often have a left of centre integrity—she hopes to remain a misguided mall-brat but is starting to look like an aged predator in the food court.

IL DIVO: THE GREATEST SONGS FROM THE WORLD’S FAVOURITE MUSICALS (SYCO) Il Divo are a very productive foursome. This new release has also hit the top 10. They remain so prolific because they do mostly cover songs and while they have in the past been labelled as popera, there is now no sense at all of any operatic pretence. Hence this disc of all show tunes from Broadway musicals.

Four of the 12 tracks are from Andrew Lloyd Weber while the lads also cover West Side Story (Tonight), Rogers and Hammerstein (Some Enchanted Evening) and Elton John (Can You Feel The Love Tonight).

Guests include Nicole Scherzinger, Heather Headley, Kirstin Chenoweth and Michael Ball.

But Barbra Streisand isn’t listed on the front—they probably didn’t get the legal clearances beforegoing to printed, but Babs is the biggest star here on The Music Of The Night.

Rutherglen makes most of her work ethic, athletic talent Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

When Immaculata student Lauren Rutherglen decided to hand in her competitive figure skates for golf clubs at the start of 2012 she was like a lot of new golfers: Struggling to break 100.

But in the span of six months, thanks to her dogged determination and a golf bag full of natural ability, the 16-year-old had trimmed as much as 30 strokes from her game and was routinely firing rounds in the 70s.

And in the two years since taking up golf fulltime, Rutherglen’s game has taken off. She was named top female golfer at the B.C. High School single-A provincials and won the ladies club cham-

pionship at the Harvest this summer. Then she nearly knocked off the Pacific Northwest’s topranked female player in the Pacific-Northwest Golf Association’s junior girls amateur championships, a prestigious match-play event featuring the best junior golfers from B.C., Washington and Oregon.

On top of that she has continued with a near straight A high school report card and she has secured an NCAA scholarship to Adam State University beginning in 2014 where she will continue to play golf and focus on her post secondary education.

“It’s amazing the progress she has made in a short period of time,” said Chad Scott, Rutherglen’s coach and the head

KELOWNA’S Lauren Rutherglen will attend Adams State in Colorado on a golf scholarship in 2014.

pro at the Harvest. “It’s really the amount of work that she put in. She’s driven to succeed. She has unlimited potential.”

After years of focussing on figure skating, Rutherglen switched gears in 2012, finding the individual sport of golf more to her liking. She controlled her results rather than being judged.

“Figure skating got to be too much for me,” said Rutherglen adding that all of the mental training as a skater helped her switch sports. “At first I found the mental part of golf hard but I just tapped into the experience I had from skating. I had to skate by myself in front of judges and with golf I have to get into a zone but I know I’m not being judged. I just get in a mental place where I

know what I can do and from there I try to stay in the zone.”

Rutherglen’s work ethic goes beyond the practise range. Along with her golf and school schedule, she also holds down a part-time job.

And she didn’t sit back and wait for college coaches to find out who she was. Rutherglen was proactive in sending out swing videos and information to NCAA schools as she looked for an opportunity to turn her golf talent into a scholarship.

She ended up with some choice in the matter but after an official visit to Adam State in Alamosa, Colorado, she fell in love with the campus in the small university city.

“It’s a lot like B.C. cli-

mate-wise and there were tons of mountains,” she said. “It was the atmosphere and the coach and hearing how passionate he was about winning and making the team better.

“I’m just really excited to get down there and get the coaching. I love playing golf and I’m really thankful that I can get an education while playing it.”

Rutherglen begins her post secondary career in the fall of next year.

In the meantime, she will play with Immaculata’s high school team in the spring and will continue to work on her game at her home course, the Harvest. kparnell @kelownacapnews.com

Blueliners return as Rockets battle Blazers Midget Madison Bowey and Damon Severson will be back in the lineup Friday night when the Rockets visit the Kamloops Blazers in the first game of a home-and-home set between the teams.

The two teams will

face off again Saturday at Prospera Place in a 7:05 p.m. start.

Bowey and Severson were in Alberta this week as members of Team WHL for the Subway Super Series against the Russians.

The WHL and Russian stars played Wednesday in Red Deer and Thursday in Lethbridge, as Hockey Canada continued its evaluations of potential players for this year’s national junior squad.

This weekend’s WHL games will be the third and fourth of the season between the B.C. Division rivals. The Rockets won the first two over Kamloops by identical 5-2 scores.

The Rockets (17-3-0-

2) lead the Victoria Royals by a point for top spot in the division, but Kelowna has four games in hand.

The Rockets have won 10 of their last 11 games and, for the second week in a row, are ranked No. 3 in the Canadian Hockey League’s top 10.

The Blazers (6-172-1), meanwhile, have struggled mightily this season and are currently in last place in the Western Conference, nine points back of ninth place Prince George. Kamloops is also winless in its last eight games.

Despite the large disparity between the Rockets and Blazers records this season, head coach Ryan Huska said his club will giving the weekend

set their full attention.

“It’s important for us to be prepared for this weekend just like it is for any game,” said Huska. “We have talked a lot about respect and respecting your opponent, not looking past them regardless of their situation.

“We’ve done a pretty good job of that over the years, not focusing on the other team and preparing in a manner that’s consistent with Rockets’ hockey.”

After playing just 22 games—the least in the WHL—over the first two months-plus of the season, the Rockets schedule will pick up considerably over the next several weeks, with 30 games in a 65-day span.

tier 1

Down 4-1 heading to the third period of a midget tier 1 hockey tournament in Prince George last weekend, the Kelowna Fripp Warehouse midget rep hockey team nearly pulled off a major comeback but had to settle for second place as the team continued its stellar season.

After moving through the round robin with wins over Semiahmoo, Prince George tier 2, and a tie with Surrey, Kelowna earned a spot in the final with a 4-2 win over the Okanagan Hockey Academy. Jordan Bautista had a pair of goals and singles came from Lathan McKinney and Zach Erhardt in the win.

In the final against Prince George tier 1, Kelowna fell behind 4-0 after the first before a second period goal by Tristan Lebrun made it 4-1 through 40 minutes.

In the third, Kelowna kept on coming and goals from Ben Hanley and Erhardt trimmed the Prince George lead to 4-3 before Bautista tied the game 4-4 with just over a minute to play.

However, the comeback was stifled when the Cougars scored in the final minute and added an empty net goal for a 6-4 win.

The Jr. Rockets will be in action this weekend with an exhibition game against the Okanagan Hockey Academy on Saturday at 11:45 a.m. and a league game against Vernon at 12:15 p.m. Sunday.

Both games are at Memorial Arena.

AquaJets swimmers see their hard work pay off on weekend The Kelowna AquaJets hosted their first two events of the season last weekend, with over 300 swimmers from the Okanagan Valley competing.

The weekend was split up into a three-session competition on Saturday and Sunday, and a single Jamboree session on Sunday for the youngest swimmers.

The local club had 111 swimmers participating in the two events.

“The swimmers did a terrific job,” said Jets head coach Peter Wilkins.

“It is always nice to the hard see hard work pay off, and also to measure where you stand against other teams and swimmers”. In the main competition, it came down to the final heat, where un-

fortunately the AquaJets were narrowly outscored

by Penticton (2,536) by only 28 points, finishing in second place with 2,508 points.

Highlighting the weekend was a club record set by Josh Zakala in the men’s 15 to 17 800 Free in a time of 8:32.90.

The previous mark was held by Christian Desjarlais, 8:33.49. Three swim-

mers made their second standard for AAA Provincials Championships held in Kamloops at the end of January—Molly Hill (200 Fly), Max McDonald (800 Free) and Kyra McNulty (200 Back).

At the Jamboree, four Jets made their regional standard in the 200 IM, swimming under 4 minutes—Jessica Bowman, Olivia Courtenay, Joey Howorko and Amelia Rachowski.

Funds to get kids playing KidSport Kelowna plans to increase the number of kids taking to the fields, rinks and gyms this year as a result of a unique calendar fundraiser—2014 Male Athletes of the Okanagan.

This unique fundraiser showcases Okanagan athletes at notable sporting destinations and landmarks in Kelowna. Athletes were selected based on their outstanding contributions to sport representing the Okanagan, British Columbia and Canada. In addition to raising funds for youth sport participation, or-

ganizers hope to increase the profile of talented local athletes from the Okanagan.

All funds raised will go directly to supporting kids participating in organized sport in the community. KidSport provides grants to families ensuring all children may enjoy a season of organized sport no matter their financial situation. KidSport Kelowna is connected with 25+ local sport organizations and believes no child should be left on the sidelines KidSport B.C. oversees 40 Community

Chapters, including KidSport Kelowna, and 260 volunteers who work tirelessly to provide opportunities for kids across the province to get in the game. For more information on how you can support KidSport, visit www. kidsport.ca.

KidSport was established in 1993 by Sport BC as a community based sport-funding program that provides grants for children ages 6 to 18 to participate in a sport season of their choice. There are now 28 community chapters in B.C. and 177 chapters across Canada

Gr. 9 KLO Cougars start off right It didn’t take the KLO Grade 9 girls basketball team long to get its groove back this season.

The Grade 9 Cougars kicked off its 2013/14 season the same way they ended last season, with a tournament victory.

The girls drove to Abottsford last weekend and played in a fourgame, round robin tournament coming out on top of the event against teams from the lower mainland.

Alley Corrado from

the Cougars was presented with the tournament MVP award as the Cougars won all four games it played.

The Cougars opened up the tournament by putting up some big numbers beating both Queen of Angles from Duncan and the host Rick Hanson secondary by over 30 points in both games.

Courtney Donaldson led all scorers with 14 points in each game and was also the tournament’s

leading scoring.

After the offensive out-pouring, KLO brought their defensive game to its match with Lower Mainland power Lord Tweedsmuir, limiting Tweedsmuir to under 30 points in two games, the team’s final round robin game as well as a rematch in the tournament final, a defensive battle won 19-16 by KLO. The Cougars finished with a round robin with a 3 and 0 record and the

tournament title

NEWS ▼ STUART PARK

Outdoor ice skating is returning

CONTRIBUTED

PUBLIC AWARENESS…On hand for the launching earlier this

month of the Project Red Ribbon campaign by the Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, supported by the group’s Central Okanagan chapter, were (from left) Eva Gainer, director of the MADD Central Okanagan chapter; Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick; Kelowna Fire Chief Jeff Carlisle; and Kelowna RCMP Insp. Nick Romanchuk. Project Red Ribbon is MADD’s initiative to combat impaired driving from now to Jan. 6, distributing red ribbons throughout Kelowna and West Kelowna and asking drivers to tie them to their vehicles as a symbol for committing to drive safe and sober during the Christmas holiday season. Meanwhile, the Kelowna RCMP have already publicly targetted impaired drivers and will announce plans for this year’s CounterAttack campaign today at the Doyle Avenue detachment.

Tread With Confidence This Winter.

In keeping with it being the most wonderful time of the year, the outdoor skating rink at Stuart Park is set to open on Monday, Dec. 2.

“It’s important to stay active during the winter months and skating is a fun, easy and affordable activity the whole family can enjoy,” said Jim Gabriel, the city’s active living and culture divisional director.

“We also want people to remember to be safe when participating in any sport or activity. So don’t forget your helmet and other gear that will keep you injury-free while on the ice.”

This year, skate rentals will be available at Stuart Park. This on-site service makes it more convenient for people who want to skate at the outdoor rink but need to rent skates.

Rentals are available

daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., except Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Want to know if skat-

ing is a go before you head downtown? Check out the live webcam feed on the city’s website at

www.kelowna.ca/recreation. The rink will be open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Thirty-five young performers presented their “all Canadian” original compositions to a devoted audience of parents, relatives and the general public.

From romantic “Chopinesque” to contemporary rock ballad, some of these young artists competed for the chance to be commissioned to write another original piece to be presented next year.

Most notable about this concert was the high standard of musicianship and the honouring of Canadian composers, both student composers and established professionals.

Diving with sharks in the Bahamas Ken Riddick CONTRIBUTOR

Sharks.

We splashed into the clear waters off Grand Bahama Island and immediately saw what we came to see: Lots of them.

We were nose-to-nose with them. They were so plentiful that we encountered them on each of our 17 dives—as many as 20 on a single dive. In fact, we saw more sharks than people on remote reefs and shoals.

There were highaction dives with nurse, lemon and Caribbean reef sharks. And some of them got very cozy. The six-day trip also included dives down to a 100-yearold molasses barge called the Sugar Wreck, as well as exceptional night dives.

We also had beautiful encounters on the reefs with a variety of critters such as loggerhead and hawksbill sea turtles, trumpetfish, invasive lionfish, angelfish, snappers and grunts.

Our first dive on the Sugar Wreck was among my favourite dives ever. It was a shallow dive—25 feet down—that allowed

us to enjoy this fabulous old wreck for about 90 minutes. We had beautiful light, hawksbill turtles, nurse sharks, hundreds of grunts and snapper, a white-sand bottom off the wreck and an easy current. This is classic tropical diving.

After a few extraordinary dives on the Sugar Wreck we were off to find what we came for: tiger sharks. Our first spot

was a remote sand shoal called Tiger Beach. We were not lucky enough to find tigers. But we did encounter other sharks, mostly lemon. We never felt threatened, but the many large sharks did get a bit frisky. They bumped some of us with their fins or noses and pulled on our fins. One diver had a small toy dangling from her air tank; a shark snatched it, put it in its

mouth and then coughed it back out.

We spent hours with these sleek and beautiful predators but we also longed for diversity.

The night diving was spectacular and another exhilarating way to experience the reef. Night is when the beautiful and bizarre creatures emerge.

And Sugar Wreck looked like a completely different place after dark. The

countless number of fish including porcupines and nurse sharks; there were also huge loggerhead and hawksbill turtles, prehistoric-looking slipper lobsters and a gaudy, spotted Caribbean lobster.

We stopped at several other spectacular spots, including Shark Paradise reef, where we found several lively and curious Caribbean reef sharks that had no fear of us. They bumped us to understand the odd intruders.

El Capitan was a drift dive at 89 feet—probably the deepest dive of the week. It was my least favourite. We wound up soaring 30 feet above the reef, trying to keep the group together in hauling current.

Mini Wall was a gorgeous pair of parallel reefs with a 80-foot-deep sand channel between.

The first tops out in about 30 feet of water, then you cross the sand to the second reef, topping out at about 60 feet. The landscape of the reef at times towered above the divers. Many of us were surprised when an extremely See Bahamas A30

Comfy swimming with big fish Bahamas from A29 large and curious lemon shark suddenly appeared out of the darkness and within feet of us.

The aptly named Hogfish Reef was home to many Spanish hogfish and several large Caribbean reef sharks, trumpetfish and angels. It was another spot of nice topography with a lot of relief and sand edge.

Then it was back to Tiger Beach where the lemons were getting more familiar. Their growing comfort with our presence let us see some extraordinary behaviour up close. One lemon

seemed to tolerate, if not simply ignore, my close approach as it laid on the sand. It opened its formidable mouth wide and waited while an 8-inch remora swam in and out, cleaning around and between the serrated teeth.

We ended the trip with another breathtaking night dive on the wreck where we began our adventure. There were more huge loggerheads and one was being constantly harassed by a pair of large remoras. Finally, the turtle squeezed beneath some steel plates of the wreck to force them off and we headed for the last time to the dive ladders. Our log-

IF YOU GO:

Carib Dancer is one of the Aggressor Fleet & Dancer Fleet diving yachts traveling to as many as 15 scuba destinations around the world— from Belize to Thailand to the Galapagos Islands and elsewhere. We boarded the Carib Dancer after a direct and very easy flight from Charlotte, N.C., to Freeport, The Bahamas.

The Carib Dancer is a 100-foot live-aboard normally working out of Nassau. The dive yacht is

equipped for as many as 14 divers, who make as many as five dives each day, including night dives.

The beauty of live-aboard diving is that you get in a lot of diving—and at remote sites that aren’t accessible from land-based operations.

The Carib Dancer breaks away from Bahamas reef diving as many as three weeks each summer to take shark enthusiasts to the rarely visited Tiger Beach area, off the West End of Grand Bahama Island. Details: www.aggressor.com.

MSG ingredient in food products often has alternate names

M

ono sodium glutamate, or MSG as it is more commonly known, is a flavour enhancer and is added to thousands of foods in Canada.

It is used in canned soups, processed meats, salad dressings, and many spices to say the least. I guarantee you, most of us have it in our pantry somewhere.

It was first discovered in 1908 in Japan.

It was used throughout North America in the 1940s. Both the USFDA and Health Canada deem it as “generally safe.”

And there are compelling arguments for and against the use of MSG. However, 10 years later the medical literature introduced “Chinese Medical Syndrome,” a condition with many side effects ranging from numbness, facial pain and headaches to heart palpitations after ingesting MSG. Dr. Russell Blaylock, a neurosurgeon and author of the book Excitotoxins: The Taste That

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel Kills, stated that MSG is a chemical considered to be an excitotoxin.

Excitotoxins overstimulate cells to the point of damage and or death.

He states, that this can cause brain damage of varying degrees.

MSG is made of approximately 78 per cent free glutamic acid, a neural transmitter also found in your brain, eyes, pancreas, heart and other organs.

It is important to note that MSG may be especially potentially damaging to children as their blood brain barrier is not fully formed as yet, thereby potentially increasing the damaging effects of MSG. Other adverse effects linked with the ingestion of MSG include obesity,

heart damage, headaches, fatigue and depression.

In the United States, if a substance has 74 per cent or less MSG in it, is not considered MSG. Anything containing 75 per cent or greater is labeled as such. However, the labeling has become more and more clever to conceal the presence of MSG in the food you may be feeding your family.

This is another argument for keeping your house full of fresh and whole food choices. If it has been refined or processed, you have a higher chance of ingesting MSG. Here is a list of alternate names for MSG. Remember them and look for them when you are scanning your food labels—sodium caseinate, hydrolyzed protein, gelatin, yeast extract, yeast food, autolyzed yeast, yeast nutrient, textured protein glutamate, monopotassium glutamate, soy sauce, soy protein isolate, soy protein and flavourings.

It is interesting that Health Canada states:

“Claims pertaining to the absence or non-addition of monosodium glutamate such as ‘contains no MSG,’ ‘no MSG added’ and ‘no added MSG’ are considered misleading and deceptive when other added sources of free glutamate are present (e.g., hydrolysed vegetable protein (HVP), hydrolyzed plant protein (HPP), hydrolyzed soy protein (HSP), soya sauce or autolysed yeast extracts).

“There are also a number of common food ingredients that contain high levels of naturally-occurring free glutamate, including tomatoes and tomato juice, grapes and grape juice, other fruit juices, cheeses such as Parmesan and Roquefort, and mushrooms. There are no labelling requirements for naturally-occurring free glutamates.”

If you’re sensitive to MSG the effects are undeniable.

I for one, have a massive response to the substance. My heart races, I immediately get a head-

ache and I feel somewhat foggy in my thinking.

Not everyone is like this, but I feel it is proof

positive that at least some if not all of us should try to avoid the substance when possible.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Driveway goes Hollywood!

Zack Spencer reveals what turned his head week with a visit to the glitzy 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, Alexandra Straub looks at what’s cool, Bob McHugh goes green and Keith Morgan sneaks a peek at a racy compact concept. Check out the full script at drivewayBC.ca

LA-LA Land auto extravaganza bigger brother. He went on to tell me mid size truck owners are looking more for maneuverability and fuel economy. On the economy front there will be three engines to choose from. Out of gate, there is the base 2.5L 4-cylinder engine or a 3.6L V6. In the second model year the Colorado will be equipped with a 2.8L Zack Spencer diesel 4-cylinder, being the first truck to have a diesel in this class. Interestingly, the same Italian company that makes the new V6 diesel for the Ram 1500 supplies it to GM. Subaru WRX Fans of the Subaru WRX will be very excited about the arrival of an all-new car but maybe a bit disappointed that this production model doesn’t look very much little the sleek and sexy concept that was unveiled earlier this year. Not a real head turner but it should prove to be a capable car thanks to an all-new direct injection 2.0L 4-cylinder putting out 268hp and matched to the first 6-speed in the WRX. This new model also gets a new torque vectoring system to enhance the symmetrical AWD system Subaru is known for, plus the stiffer chassis, bigger brakes and performance-tuned suspension will be welcome by WRX fans. The interior is bigger, especially the back seat due to 25mm being added to the wheelbase. The cabin finally gets a refresh with better-looking materials and an optional Harman/ Kardon audio system. The WRX will arrive in the spring of 2015.

The Los Angeles Auto Show is full of eye-popping sights and some even include cars!

It’s not difficult to have your head turned but it is a challenge to pick one’s top picks but I’m for the challenge.

Nissan GT-R Nismo Nissan stole the show with not only one of the fastest cars in the world but the fastest man in the world. Olympic gold medalist and world record holder Usain Bolt was on hand as Nissan’s Director of Excitement to help unveil this new powerhouse car. Usain was clearly taken with the new GT-R Nismo, there were also promises to get him one as soon as they are available to replace his gold coloured GT-R. Power on the GT-R Nismo has been pumped up to 600hp taking this new Nismo version to 100 k/h in just two seconds. That’s right two seconds!

Nissan claims that the Nismo also gets suspension advancement and interior upgrades to help refine the ride and quite the cabin. Look for the new GT-R in the spring of 2014. I suspect Usain will get his a bit earlier.

Chevrolet Colorado The mid-size pickup truck market has been all but abandoned by the domestic automakers over the last few years leaving this category entirely to Toyota and Nissan with the Tacoma and Frontier trucks. Wait until next year and the choice will include the all-new Colorado from Chevrolet.

Building off the success of the all-new full-size Silverado, the engineers have taken the same approach to this new truck. Their chief engineer told me that the interior will be just as quiet and refined as the

Question OF THE WEEK:

Subaru Legacy Concept One of the surprises at this years show was the introduction of the Legacy concept.

A head turning design that my sources tell me looks a lot like the production car.

The problem is we saw the WRX concept earlier this year and the just unveiled production version is not even close to the concept. Lest hope that the next Legacy does indeed look as good as this.

The metallic, almost chrome looking paint, certainly helps to make the car pop but the bold front grille and macho stance could very well be included in the final version. Obviously tricks like hidden door handles and ultra slim side mirrors will need to be amended but lets hope that Subaru can come close to this concept.

It certainly was a surprise at the show.

Lincoln MKC Lincoln has a long and distinguished history as an American premium brand but over the last few decades, it has been an extension of existing Ford products using different badging and trim. There is now a long-term plan to resurrect the Lincoln brand with all-new vehicle that use some Ford components but are developed separately from the main Ford line of products. The first vehicle to get this was the MKZ sedan that arrived earlier this year and next is a compact crossover called MKC. Even though it shares a platform with the Ford Escape, it has been

to submit your answer.

Safety Tip: As road conditions become more challenging by the week, it becomes even more important to be attentive behind the wheel.

If you need to make a call or send a text or email, pull over to the roadside, or use those highway rest stops to take a break.

drivewayBC.ca The all-new Audi A3 sedan arrives in March 2014 and the convertible in the fall designed and engineered to be a totally different car. The wheels sit wider and the roof is lower for a purposeful stance. The design, other than the trademark Lincoln grille is very European and the back wrap-around hatch is maybe Audi inspired. Under the hood is a 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder with 240hp or an optional 2.3L version with 275p and 300 lb-ft of torque. Standard in Canada will be AWD and adaptive suspension, matched to a

6-speed automatic transmission. The interior has soft touch materials and a more expressive dash, and advance communications and connectivity.

The MKC will go on sale next year starting at $39,940. Lincoln hopes this stylish, well-equipped vehicle at an attractive price catches attention.

BMW 4 Series Cabriolet BMW has changed the naming of their vehicles. The 3 Series is now the sedan only in the BMW lineup. The coupe and convertible version are

now called 4 Series. The 4 Series coupe is already available at your local BMW dealership but the convertible was just introduced in Los Angeles.

The all-new cabriolet is wider and features a new three-piece retractable hardtop and for the first time X-Drive AWD is available on the convertibles. Interior refinements include a new neck warmer that blows a steady stream of warm air on the front passengers’ neck and shoulders, helping to elongate the convertible season.

Porsche in name but also in performance. Having sat in it I can tell you that it is very low to the ground and all passengers fit snugly in the sporty interior. The dash is a smaller version of the stunning Cayenne interior but it is what is under the hood that matters. The Macan S has a 3.0L turbo V6 with 340hp, the Macan Turbo has a turbo 3.6L V6 and 400hp or a 3.0L V6 turbo diesel. The power is shifted through a duel clutch transmission that is sure to delight. Look for the Macan coming next year.

Jaguar F-Type This year Jaguar made a big splash with the all-new Jaguar F-Type convertible. Next year we get to look forward to the coupe version, a dynamite looking coupe with a stunning silhouette and improved dynamics thanks to a stiffer body. There will still be two versions of the 3.0L-supercharged V6 with 340hp in the base coupe or 380hp in the F-Type S. The top of range model is the supercharged 5.0L V8 with 550hp called the F-Type R. This model can make a run to 60mp/h in four seconds and is fitted with the sec-

Engines will be the same as the 4 Series coupe with e 2.0L 4-cylinder base and larger turbo 6-cylinder.

Porsche Macan Porsche hopes to bring their brand to a larger number of potential buyers who might have not been able to afford a Porsche in the past. Los Angeles hosted the world introduction of the small SUV called Macan. Based on the Audi Q5 platform, this lower, sleeker and much more aggressive Macan will attract a lot of attention based purely on looks. This is not juts a

LA Subaru Legacy concept

to produce the stiffest Jaguar ever made. This is one heart-pounding coupe I cannot wait to try.

Help to pay for Wildfire fuel mitigation projects explained home upgrades months.

The objective of these projects is to reduce the wildfire threat to the community, which is noted in the city’s Community Wildfire Protection Plan.

While more details will be shared with residents at the Dec. 3 meeting, the projects will occur within the Southeast Kelowna Improvement District, on prov-

incial Crown land and in Scenic Canyon Regional Park.

The forests will be thinned, pruned and the dead or dying trees will be removed, which should leave the area with a low to moderate wildfire risk.

The treatment area boundary will be developed to create a significant fuel break, which helps with suppression efforts by mini-

mizing potential fire behaviour and providing access in the event of a wildfire.

The treatments will attempt to balance public safety with the environmental values and recreational functions of the area.

The public meeting will be held at the Gallagher’s Canyon Activity Centre .

New dryer and washer products that reduce laundry downtime On-the-go families are considering appliances with innovations that can give hectic households some much needed time back.

“LG recently unveiled

a mega capacity washer with a new time-saving feature called TurboWash,” says Laura McGowan, a senior brand manager at the company.

When looking for a home, it’s not uncommon for many of us to think: “What a beautiful home with a great yard. Too bad the kitchen is outdated.”

If the idea of buying a home in need of renovation to fit your needs or desires is a turn-off, the purchase plus improvements program might give you pause for thought.

This program can help get you into the home and update it with your dream kitchen or spa-like ensuite.

It also saves you any inconvenience or hassle of arranging a second loan after closing. Now you can purchase a home, renovate it the way you like and pay for it all in one mortgage payment at first mortgage rates.

The Purchase Plus Improvements mortgage is possible regardless of your down payment. This mortgage can be done by putting as little as five per cent down of the “as improved” value.

For example, if you purchased a home for $300,000 and wanted to do $50,000 worth of renovations, GE or CMHC will insure a mortgage based on 95 per cent of the “as improved” value.

So with a down payment of $17,500, GE or CMHC will insure a mortgage of $332,500.

The key for this to work is that the cost of the renovations has to be reflected in the “as improved” value of the house.

In the above example, the property would have a value of at least $350,000 after the $50,000 worth of proposed renovations was done. This is easily verified with an appraisal, which would include information prepared by the renovation contractor to be submitted along with your application to the lender.

You can also refinance your existing home to include update renovations. Again, an appraisal will provide the current value of your home. The cost of the renovations will then be taken into consideration to help determine the renovated value of the house.

Information needed to determine that updated value would include:

The City of Kelowna and the Regional District of Central Okanagan will host a public meeting Tuesday, Dec. 3, 7 p.m., to discuss details of the wildfire fuel mitigation projects with local residents.

The city and the RDCO will be completing wildfire fuel mitigation projects in southeast Kelowna over the next several

cent more capacity than the average washing machine, this state-of-the-art appliance accommodates super-size loads reducing the number a family needs to run. Better yet, its turbo

wash technology saves up to 20 minutes per load— and that means just three loads will add up to a precious hour of free time.”

With dryers, McGowan says LG’s new

Steam Technology features a steam generator that produces real steam right in the dryer, so the iron can be left in the cupboard and simply set the dryer to reduce wrinkles.

Transition for first-time buyer

GREG and Janet Lawrence renovated this million dollar-plus property in Wayzata, Minn., for resale.

CONTRIBUTED

Home flipping has gone high-end Kim Palmer CONTRIBUTOR

Instead of snapping up lowpriced foreclosures and sprucing them up with paint and new carpet for a quick profit, a growing subset of investors are now turning to million-dollar properties.

One such example is a house that owner Greg Lawrence dubbed “The Big Flip,” a 7,750-square-foot Minnetonka, Minn., home with indoor and outdoor pools, a brand-new luxury kitchen and a list price of $1.4 million.

It’s a much higher risk than the 40 or so starter houses that Lawrence has bought, rehabbed and sold in recent years, he said.

But he believes the time is right. “Five years ago, nothing was selling in the upper bracket,” he said.

But now listings and pending sales for million-plus homes

in his area are up, and short sales and foreclosures in that category are now rare.

“That’s a big change. I’m encouraged,” he said.

Home-flipping soared during the recession. But because of increased competition for lowpriced makeover candidates, investors with deep pockets are focusing on higher-end houses.

Many reject the term “flipping.” Instead of quickly selling, they’re often holding and renting the property, waiting for the right market conditions. And when they renovate, they’re not just slapping on a coat of paint but investing in major remodelling.

In the U.S, the number of single-family home flips fell 13 per cent from 2012 to 2013, with a steep 35 per cent drop in the third quarter, according to a recent report from RealtyTrac.

Meanwhile, high-end flipping (homes priced at $750,000

or more) rose 34 per cent between third-quarter 2012 and the same period this year.

“That’s definitely what we’re seeing,” said Minnesota real estate agent Ryan O’Neill.

“Early on, as the market really crashed, a lot of people were gobbling up bank-owned inventory.

But there’s only so much of that.

A lot of those have gone through the pipeline.”

With higher prices, some small investors have been pushed out of the market, O’Neill said, leaving it to seasoned rehabbers with greater buying power.

“There’s less competition at the upper end because there are less people with those deeper pockets, to be able to put $100,000, $200,000, $300,000 into a house and not be freaked out by those numbers. It’s certainly not for the faint of heart.”

Interior designer Mary Rossi, who buys, rehabs and sells homes

in the $250,000 price range, is having a harder time finding houses.

“It’s more challenging because more people are doing it,” she said. “People watch HGTV and think, ‘I could do that.’ It’s gone to another level. There are multiple offers. Home flipper companies are coming in and doing seminars. It has become big business.”

O’Neill, who teaches classes on flipping, said investors need to arm themselves with data and seek unvarnished advice from a real estate professional.

“It can be a losing proposition if a person doesn’t understand the three rules,” he said. “No 1. Buy it right. No. 2. Know how much you need to put into it. And No. 3, know what it will sell for.”

The last rule is especially tricky because sale price is a moving target. “The market is continually shifting,” he said.

Every first homeowner has that fear of stepping off the plank and making the plunge into a long-term financial investment, but that transition can be an exciting and pleasant experience.

That starts with seeking out the support of a real estate agent and mortgage specialist to help with that process of changing from renter to owner.

First-time home buyREAL ESTATE ers may be overwhelmed RUNDOWN with the initial cost of purchasing that first home, but there are ways to defer some of those financial burden fears.

There is a break the Ceinwen federal government has Morgan put in place for first time home buyers. It is called a First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit.

The cost associated with a purchase of a property can get quite expensive with legal fees, land transfer tax and disbursements, etc. To assist first-time home buyers with this cost, in 2009 the federal government put in place a $5,000 non-refundable income tax credit on a qualifying home acquired after January 2009. For an eligible individual, the credit will provide up to $750 in federal tax relief.

First-time home buyers have also been feeling the pinch after federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced the tightening of lending rules last summer.

The maximum amortization period was adjusted from 25 years from 30, and the cut the maximum amount of equity homeowners can take out of their homes in a refinancing was reduced to 80 from 85 per cent. Also, the availability of government-backed mortgages has been limited to homes with a purchase price of less than $1-million, while the maximum gross debt service ratio was fixed at 39 per cent and the maximum total debt service ratio at 44 per cent.

But those changes still aren’t posing a major deterrence to first-time buyers. A Bank of Montreal survey, conducted by Pollara, found on the one year anniversary of the latest mortgage rule changes that 66 per cent of Canadians buying for the first-time will still do so as planned.

The survey also found that 14 per cent of Canadians will buy sooner, partially out of fear rules could get even tougher.

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