HEART TRANSPLANT recipient Bob Intengan (left) and liver transplant recipient Matt Scaife speak about how their lives were saved thanks to organ transplants. Intengan and Scaife were at Kelowna General Hospital Wednesday, taking part in Operation Popcorn, to show their appreciation for KGH’s intensive care unit, emergency room and operating room staff.

YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE LIVING HERE.

ulce Intengan had one question nobody could answer in the days before her husband’s heart was stopped. “I asked the doctor, ‘Will he still love me the same after the transplant?’” Intengan said, Wednesday as she, her husband and several others involved with B.C.’s organ transplant program gathered at Kelowna General Hospital for a 22-year-old tradition dubbed Operation Popcorn. “’That, I don’t know’,” the surgeon told her, laughing. “Luckily,” Dulce said as her husband came to her side in the hospital hallway, “everything was good.” See story on page A3

THIS IS an artist’s rendering of the Urban Square development planned for Clement Avenue, with the new brewery building on the right, at Ethel Street, and the renovated historic packinghouse, which will become a public farmers’ market. Omitted from the drawing are two office buildings which would be built on the left, at Richter Street and Clement.

Public market proposed for fruit co-op site Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

A multi-million dollar public and farmers’ market, brewery and office building complex called Urban Square is planned for the three-hectare former B.C. Tree Fruits Co-operative property on Clement Avenue in Kelowna’s north end. Developer Gary Tebbutt says they will re-develop industrial land between Ethel and Richter, with the existing tree fruit storage building— that also houses the retail market for the co-

Gary Tebbutt op—completely renovated to provide space for a permanent Granville Island-style market and a seasonal farmers’ market. Plans are to have it in operation within a year.

The .78-hectare Ethel and Clement corner, which has no building on it right now, has been sold to a local family for development of a 5,388-square-metre brewery called Starkhünd Brewing Company equipped with state-ofthe-art equipment from Germany. It will be two floors with a tasting room, retail store and patio and will host tours. The new brewery facility will be built incorporating energy-efficiency, sustainability and recycling wherever pos-

sible, said Tebbutt. It will produce a portfolio of authentic European-style lagers and ales, including seasonal brands. Emphasis will be on top quality products, using the purest ingredients, he said. The 3,344 square metre historic packinghouse building will be renovated—re-purposed—for a public market. “Its unique timber construction with 22-foot high ceilings lends itself extremely well to a Public Market,” commented Tebbutt, who grew up in

the Okanagan and has lived in Kelowna for the past 24 years. “This is a significant legacy project; a unique project. It means something to me. I’m excited to be able to bring this vision to fruition to meet a need,” he commented. The idea came from a member of the BCTF board, who contacted him when the co-op put the property up for sale a year or so ago. “I took my wife and construction manager and my wife suggested it would make a great public market. We feel Kelowna is ready for this,”

he said. They envision some permanent shops such as for bee products like honey, along with some seasonal stalls. “We’d like to see an emphasis on local, high-quality, healthy food, crafts and arts,” he said. Parking will be at the back of the property, off Vaughn Avenue, across the street from the co-op’s remaining Kelowna packinghouse. The development will mean an entire threeblock redevelopment along Clement Avenue, with a new RCMP de-

tachment planned for property across Richter Street from Urban Square. Construction of the brewery is expected to start next spring and begin operations within a year, while the co-op’s retail outlet will continue selling apples until May. Construction of the four-storey and five-storey office buildings— Urban One and Urban Two—at Richter and Clement, will depend on market demand. They will contain about 9,280 square metres of space with retail at street level.

Kelowna council faces a 2.67% property tax hike request Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna city council will head into its annual budget deliberations next week with a staff recommendation that residential property taxes increase by 2.67 per cent in 2014. The city’s provisional 2014 Financial Plan will be hammered out during an all-day public meeting on Thursday, Dec. 12. Council will receive an overview

of the plan at its regular council meeting on Monday, Dec. 9. Next year, the city says it will be challenged to provide new services that are in demand, while maintaining existing service levels and looking for opportunities for future growth. And all that needs to happen while working to minimize the demand from taxpayers. “Our objective is to provide residents with the best quality of life we can afford,” said financial planning

manager Genelle Davidson. “Revenue from property taxes help us build the amenities people want and provide them with the services they need.” About three-quarters of the city’s revenues already come from non-tax sources, including user fees, charges, grants and reserve accounts. City hall says thanks to that financial strategy, Kelowna’s residential property taxes continue to be among the lowest in the province. The budget is also influenced by a

number of other city plans including: • The 2020 Capital Plan acts which is a guide for capital infrastructure costs and ensures projects are prepared with funding sources identified over the long-term • The city’s Official Community Plan which identifies issues and opportunities expected over the next 20 years • The city’s 20-Year Servicing Plan and financing strategy which supports the infrastructure needs

called for in the OCP. While a provisional tax rate will be arrived at by the end of the budget deliberations next week, the final tax rate will be not be set until May 5. Residents can take a deeper look inside the city budget process by visiting the city’s website at www.kelowna.ca/budget, signing up for e-updates or following the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #KelownaBudget. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

▼ THE GIFT OF LIFE

Donations: Beauty that comes from a tragedy From A1 It’s been seven years since Bob Intengan, now 69, received his new heart, and the love Dulce worried about clearly figures large in the life he’s living. He said he considers himself blessed since that operation to see his two

daughters walk down the aisle, as well as the birth of four grandchildren. And, as his family has grown, so has his gratitude for the gift of life he received all those years ago. Bob thanked medical staff throughout the hospital for the work they do, noting people often com-

plain about the health care system, but he’s had nothing but “first class” treatment all the way through. “They were angels,” he said. He also gave praise to the wife who cared for him in those dark hours. She held him and prayed that they have one more chance after a heart attack that was expected to kill him put him at the top of the organ recipient list, instead. And once he had that operation, she was there to nurse him as he healed. “I couldn’t survive without her,” he said. And last but not least, Intengan spoke of one more thank you that he can never fully express. “Weeks after I had my

He never heard back from the family, which is generally the standard for the program where

donors remain anonymous. But now, after all this time, he wants to try and write again although he’s not quite sure what to say. “You want to honour them. You owe this person and you want to respect this gift,” he said, touching his chest. “In the quietness of my own thoughts, I come

charged in medicine. People on the transplant list know they may die waiting for an organ, but the families of braindead patients are asked at what’s likely the most painful time in their lives, to move past their own grief and allow a loved one’s organs to be removed for the benefit of strangers, explained Trish Bosch, the in-hospital donation co-ordinator at Kelowna General Hospital with BC Transplant. “These deaths are always tragic and they come suddenly to young people,” she said, noting that the retrieval work in the donation process is the most difficult on hospital staff as well. “Donations, are the beauty that comes out of pure tragedy.” Currently, there aren’t enough donor organs for all the people who need transplants. More than 4,000 Canadians are waiting for an organ transplant to save their lives. Last year, only 1,803 transplants were performed, leaving many patients on waiting lists. Unfortunately, 195 Canadians died while waiting for an organ transplant. Three-quarters of the patients on the list are waiting for a kidney transplant. Although one donor can save as many as seven lives What’s key in the process, however, is acting swiftly when the time comes to retrieve organs. And for that reason alone, Bosch said it’s important for everyone to have that conversation with their loved ones. Simply ask whether they want to be a donor.

Popcorn a symbolic gesture It’s Operation Popcorn week, and teams of transplant recipients are delivering festive tins of popcorn to staff in the intensive care units, emergency departments and operating rooms across the province. These health care professionals see the tragic side of organ donation as they support families of donors, dealing with the loss of a loved one. A visit from the Operation Popcorn team allows the staff to see the people whose lives are saved through organ donation. This year BC Transplant’s Operation Popcorn visited 27 hospitals throughout B.C. and one in the Yukon, including Kelowna Genertal Hospital. So far this year, 304 life saving transplants have been performed in B.C., but there’s still a nationwide disparity between donations and those in need. Donation facts:

• In 2001, there were 420 deceased organ donors in Canada for a national rate of 13.5 donors per million population. • Seventy seven per cent of donors give more than one organ or tissue. According to the Canadian Organ Replacement Register, death usually results from an intracranial event—49 per cent—such as a stroke, brain aneurysm or cerebral hemorrhage. • The second leading cause of death—21 per cent—is motor vehicle collision. The average age of donors has increased steadily. • In 2000, deceased organ donors ranged in age from under one year to 84 years old, with an average age of 39 years. Donation matters: • Demographics and organ transplants in Canada, 2000-2040, a report by David Baxter and Jim Smerdon, found that Canada’s low

rate of organ donation in comparison to other countries is not a result of lack of generosity or altruism, but because of better health practices. • Canada’s risk of death from automobile accidents or gunshot wounds is much lower than the United States. Canadian’s access to excellent health care also lowers the probability of death. • BC Transplant provides provincial oversight for all aspects or organ donation and transplantation in B.C. • B.C.’s three transplant centres are BC Children’s Hospital, St. Paul’s Hospital and Vancouver General Hospital. Transplant patients receive follow up care at the transplant centres or at one of seven regional clinics close to their home community.

Public forum to discuss use of space as multicultural centre

▼ SOLES4SOULS

STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna Community Resources wants the public to have their say on a new community space, which will celebrate diversity. The Gathering Place is expected to open within KCR’s existing building on Dolphin Avenue in January 2014. Katelin Mitchell, immigrant services manager with KCR, said there has long been a desire to bring this sort of centre to the community; however, funding was an issue.

“It’s something that we’ve been hearing from both cultural groups in the community…also from the general public,” said Mitchell. “They’re needing a place to meet…people are interested in being more involved in the community.” EmbraceBC has provided funding as part of a community dialogue project. Mitchell said the money will likely allow the community space to be open two nights per week. “One evening would be a guest speaker, facili-

tated discussion (or) it could be an organic discussion over a potluck. “The second evening would be open to people to use as a drop-in centre—so they could come, ask questions and get information.” Mitchell noted these are tentative ideas, as community feedback will go a long way in deciding the centre’s uses. The public will have a chance to share their ideas at a forum Monday, Dec. 9, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the School District 23 Educational Services Building, 1040 Holly-

Local family to spend Christmas helping Hondurans in need STAFF REPORTER

The Kent family won’t be celebrating Christmas the way they usually do this year. Rather than sitting around a Christmas tree in their home and handing out presents, the Kents will be in Roatan, Honduras, giving locals shoes and food over the holiday season. Mark and Julie Kent, along with their children—Abi, 18, Parker, 12, and Naomi, 11—plan to take 60 pairs of shoes down with them, which were gathered as part of the Soles4Souls initiative. “The shoes are going to kids who need (them) in order to go to school,” said Mark. Since the 60 pairs of shoes will only benefit 60 children, the family is col-

lecting money to purchase other footwear for those in need while they are in Central America. “The people who we’re working with down there have said it’s a really big deal to have flip flops…so we’re going to try to get a lot of people flip flops as well.” Local businesses have also provided the Kents with other accessories to give, such as toothbrushes, bars of soap and bottles of shampoo. He said it’s the first time his entire family has taken on a trip such as this. “It’s just a different twist. “We don’t plan on giving our kids anything for Christmas…(instead) we’re going to go down there and help people out.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

TREE DECORATING…On Wednesday, staff from the Regional District of Central Okanagan

and Kelowna Community Resources braved the cold temperatures and teamed up to share some joy and perhaps bring a smile to all who visit Mission Creek Regional Park—those on two legs, four legs and even those who fly. The participants decorated several trees in the park under the guidance of the regional parks services staff. All the decorations are environmentally friendly and some were edible for those species that live in the park. They’ll remain in place through Jan. 5. The trees can be seen on the Mission Creek Greenway, across the foot bridge in the north side of the park.

Competing students rock RoboCup Reigning champions Nelson and Hudson Schier successfully defended their title in the dance competition at the 8th annual Western Canada RoboCup Junior Thursday at Okanagan College. In addition, they also won an award for Best Innovative Design. The Vernon brothers were two of more than 200 elementary and secondary students from across the Okanagan Valley who competed at this year’s event. This is the sixth time the Schiers have won the dance portion of Robo

Cup Junior. The winners of each category—dance, soccer and rescue—have the opportunity to go on to compete in the international competition in Brazil in July. “We’re always excited to compete at RoboCup and are happy we won,” said Hudson Schier. “We couldn’t go to the international competition last year, but we plan to go this year and will be adding way more features to the Octopus robot in preparation.” “The creations were exceptional,” said Nadir Ould-Khessal, event or-

▼ MONTREAL MASSACRE

‘Angel Way’ vigil planned to mark violent shooting

It has been 24 years since 14 young women were murdered at L’Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal on Dec. 6, 1989. The event horrified Canadians, but violence against women and girls has since become part of our everyday reality. Every Dec. 6, a group of volunteers gathers in the afternoon to attach the names of women and children on the roses with ribbons. They have witnessed the list of names growing each year. In 2013, 74 roses are needed to remember the 14 young women from Montreal and the local women and children who have been lost to gender-based violence. As long as new names continue to be added, these volunteers will not allow the victims to be forgotten, and they refuse Dto abandon their vision for a safe community for all citizens. Sorrow accompanies those who faithfully attend the December 6 Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women in Kelowna. Faces illuminated by vigil candles, they take great care in laying roses bearing the names of women, some of whom are their daughters, granddaughters, nieces, sisters, colleagues and friends. But empowerment and hope bring them back each year; by sharing their stories, they inspire action and prevent others from experiencing the same anguish. Dedicated community volunteers ensure that these women will not be forgotten. A Women’s Studies class at Okanagan College carries on the work of researching the women’s lives, while fellow students in the trades program protect a photo of each woman in a handmade frame. The emotionally challenging project will forever impact the way in which these young adults interact with their

community, and they will be on hand at the event this year to share their experiences with the public. Gail Smith, aboriginal transitions planner for Okanagan College, will be in attendance to share a relatively new initiative called the Moose Hide Campaign, which calls on men to end violence against aboriginal women and children through promotion of gender equity, healthy relationships and positive ideas of masculinity. “Aboriginal and non-aboriginal men are participating in a Moose Hide Campaign in which they wear a small patch of moose hide to symbolize their commitment to stand up against violence towards women and children,” said Smith. The Kelowna Okanagan College Students Union members have stepped up to volunteer at the event, and chairperson Chelsea Grisch will have exciting news to share about a re-launch of the Canadian Federation of Students No Means No Campaign to address sexual violence against women. Members of the public are encouraged to bring candles and gather in the rear parking lot of the Parkinson Recreation Centre beginning at 5:30 p.m. tonight. The walk and ceremony will begin at 6 p.m. “‘Angel Way’ which is a multi-use pathway through Parkinson Recreation Centre park, has been chosen as the location for the Dec. 6 vigil as it was named in 2010 in recognition of victims of domestic violence,” said Sharon Shepherd, director of Central Okanagan Women’s Resource and Education Foundation. “Dedicated to improving quality of life for all women and girls, the mission of the organization is to provide educational programs and to undertake research to address social problems affecting disadvantaged women.”

Who is council kidding Springfield not good to farm?

t t l Y R i

To the editor: Re: Springfield Road’s 25 acres of farmland to be used for 200,000 sq. ft. of commercial space and 500 condos. We heard our city councillor, Andre Blanleil comment on the radio that the land in question is “no good for farming since there is no access.” Where does he believe that the commercial access will come from? There will be another two or three new traffic lights installed on Springfield to make the commercial venture a go for the developer. Who is this councillor who cannot see the farming potential of the 25 acres? We surely do not need another 200,000 sq. ft. of commercial property since there is enough shopping all the way from Winfield to the other side of Westbank. The developer has left the property in weeds for the last 20 years to make it look as if it is not good for farming. All the talk about moving the top soil to other farm-

Pre-online life means it didn’t happen if you say so

othing warms the cockles of one’s heart more than a flashmob these days, for a few obvious reasons. They’re quick, unexpected and strange. Most importantly, perhaps, watching people dance is usually amusing, which means flashmobs amount to comedic musicals for audiences with limited attention spans. So when a Mt. Boucherie student this week went to the effort to flashmob a prom-posal out of his best gal-pal— see kelownacapnews.com for video— it’s no wonder the web went wild with praise. It was pretty cute. I could feel the corners of my grinchy mouth rise into

KATHARTIC a smile as the whole thing

unfolded. More personally, however, once the smile subsided, it made me realize how different my teenage years are from the teens of today. Kathy Everything is online. Michaels Everything. Sure, this isn’t a revelation, but when I watched the video I couldn’t help but wonder how I would have fared if the camera panned my way in 1993. Prom, an event of equal parts angst and joy for generations, wasn’t top of my list of things I looked forward to. Pop music and formal dress were two of the most foul elements of the ’90s, so I can’t help but wonder if I would have been caught sulkily chewing my hair as my best friend and I discussed boy-

cotting the stupidity that is prom. Worse yet, would the lens have spied the weird bump-it hairstyle I donned on the big day? The big day that I didn’t actually boycott. And, if that was the case, how would that video evidence define me in years to come. Really, who would I have become if I had to follow my online footprints to today? It’s all well and good to pretend you are above today’s youth when they’re doing something particularly depraved online, but imagine if every single one of the insignificant notes you passed to a friend were written in pixels, and kept alive in perpetuity. What if diary entries filled with heartbreak and embarrassing confessionals became a series of social media posts. Even the good memories of youth

are probably meant to fade into a shad- t ow of reality so they can be twisted into something more glorious. Otherwise, how would you pack it all away so you can become a functional adult? I suppose we’ll all find out how it goes soon enough. The world moved into cyberspace so long ago, pixels are as good as oxygen for some. Or so says an Ipsos Reid survey on the topic. It shows that 59 per cent of teens say they can’t live without the Internet and 75 per cent of children in families that use the Internet are online by the age of seven. According to the poll of 4,466 Canadians, social networking sites are growing in popularity with 65 per cent of B.C. respondents saying they use

▼ RECREATION FACILITY

Y user will miss large men’s change room To the editor: I just read the story in the Capital News about the renovations at the (Kelowna Family) Y. (Family Y Undergoes Change Room Renovations, Capital News, Nov. 26) Many, including me, are mad about the changes at the Y. The loss of the steam room is bad enough but making the men’s change room smaller and losing

half the showers is ridiculous. I have been in that room when it had the maximum 18 people in there. I question the accuracy of that number, but if right, it was very crowded. One of the (life)guards told me they had them count numbers during the day when they had time. Very scientific. If the room is two-thirds the size it will be ludicrous.

I agree the family change room is far to small but there is no vision in these changes and they hurt another user group. My complaints to both the city and the Y have been brushed off. They have us all over a barrel as there is not a equal facility in town. I do believe some may leave because of these changes. When I talked

to the person showing the changes she said “we’re all about families,” implying we don’t count. If the city and the Y are telling you that all are happy with these changes they are in error. Most members— male, female, with or without kids—that I talk to feel this change is wrong. I am still talking to members who have no idea these changes are

even coming, so they have not promoted it well. I was told they polled the membership on whether to keep the steam room or the sauna and most wanted a sauna. I have yet to meet a person who was asked. If they had some meeting, did they want any one to know?

The Jeep Sales Event ad that appeared in this newspaper during the week of November 25, 2013 incorrectly stated that the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT with option equipment shown had a price of $48,315. The correct price for the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT with optional equipment shown is $64,690. We are sorry for any inconvenience this error may have caused.

Arthur K. Riddell, Kelowna

Don’t need developers who ‘don’t go by the rules’ To the editor: Reading the letter Don’t Beat Down a Visionary Project, by former Kelowna mayoral candidate Cal Condy, I conjured up some thoughts. First, I take great exception to his statement that the Kettle Valley mountainside is a “fire devastated, uninhabitable mountain eyesore.” I happen to live in the Kettle Valley neighbourhood, and have enjoyed watching nature take her course and provide new growth. That is what forests do. What gives Condy the idea that, after a forest fire, “something” must be done? It is not as if this is a burned out block in the middle of a downtown. To me, and this is only my opinion, the Consiglio structures on the mountain are the real eyesore.

Secondly, Condy seems to ignore the many problems, previously reported in the Capital News and other media, with the development project and the investment scheme. If my memory serves me correctly, Consiglio has ignored the many permit requirements and in fact been quite recalcitrant regarding any efforts of the regional district to resolve the issues. Perhaps he is of the belief that ‘it is easier to beg forgiveness, than ask permission.’ His investment scheme is reported to be so fraught with problems that the government stepped in to protect those who had put good money into the ‘Mountain.’ And finally, Cal Condy makes one comment with which I strongly agree: “…guys

like this Consiglio character don’t come along every day.” As a resident of Kelowna, and of Kettle Valley, I can say we certainly don’t need more “developers” that don’t go by the rules. It is a good thing more of these characters don’t come along. Cal Condy stated he was “a distant third in the last civic mayoral elections.” One really should have concerns about a person who aspires to an elected public office, when the person doesn’t feel that a developer must be held accountable for following the procedures established to ensure that development projects are undertaken in a proper, orderly and legal manner. Bob Sherman, Kelowna

Take a camera, not a gun, into the woods to hunt To the editor: I am referring to the Nov. 26 letter, Unfair portrait painted of B.C. hunters. I find it comical to see the words “unfair” and “hunters” in the same sentence, LOL!

There is no fairness, sportsmanship or integrity in loading up guns and arrows and preying on innocent animals trying to survive in what little habitat they have left. Do these red necks really think they are fair

and ethical using tactics such as guns, bow and arrows, decoys, bating animals with food, leg-hold traps, cammoflash, snares, blinding headlights at night and hunting with dogs. Hunters like Ducks

Unlimited will say they conserve land but it’s only so the animals have habitat for the hunters to stalk and kill them. Is that fair and ethical? Hunters are a dying breed but the animals still need our help. Hide

the guns from your dad, uncle, brother, son, husband, wife, boyfriend. Take your camera, not a gun and truly enjoy nature and the peaceful beauty in life not death. Connie Mahoney, Kelowna

Smells like some councillors are ‘on the take’ Springfield from A10 ing land must mean that the soil is good enough for farming or they would not consider trucking it away. One should not be anti-development and most

Kelowna people are not— just not on the best farm land. There is plenty of land available that is not good enough for farming, it just isn’t sitting on Springfield. One comes to wonder who the coun-

cillors “work for” since Mohini Singh was the only one to vote against the removal of the farmland. When a developer is due to spend millions on a development it is easy

to see that “favours” could be doled out to anyone who may be pro-development, at whatever the cost. It just smells that way, doesn’t it? Read the book On the Take With Brian Mulro-

ney, to get the gist of the process. Jorgen Hansen, Kelowna

erimenopause, also called the menopausal transition, is the natural shift in a woman’s reproductive cycle toward menopause, or ceasing of the cycle. When a woman has gone through 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, she is considered to have reached menopause, and the perimenopause period is over. Women start perimenopause at different ages, and may start noticing changes in their 40s or even as early as their 30s. During the menopausal transition, the body’s production of estrogen and progesterone fluctuates. These hormonal fluctuations are at the root of the changes experienced during perimenopause. These changes may include menstrual irregu-

About 65 to75 per cent of women experience hot flashes. Sleeping problems are also common, often due to hot flashes or night sweats. Some women experience mood changes such as mood swings, irritability or depression. Fertility decreases, there may be changes in

sexual function and desire, and vaginal and bladder problems may also arise such as infections or urinary incontinence. Other health problems that become a concern with declining estrogen levels are loss of bone and higher risk of osteoporosis, and changing cholesterol levels and increased risk of heart disease. Treatment for perimenopause symptoms will typically involve hormone therapy, oral contraceptives, or progestin therapy. Hormone therapy is less commonly recommended today because of its associated health risks, and contraceptives or progestin therapy may not effectively resolve symptoms for all women. Acupuncture is an excellent option for ensuring a healthy transition through this period of a woman’s life and is of benefit to many of the common symptoms. Menopause is a natural stage in life and the healthier a woman is overall, the healthier and smoother this transition will be. For this reason, acupuncturists don’t look at perimenopause as problematic, but rather view the symptoms and their severity as indicators of a woman’s health and possible internal imbalances that may be at the root of these symptoms. A woman in ideal health would transition through menopause with no discomfort at all (and indeed, many women do). However, for many women, factors such as diet, stress, overwork, emotional upset, and exercise habits can all contribute to health, stress levels, and the overall experience during the menopause transition. An acupuncturist’s first task then, is to determine which internal imbalances are causing the symptoms that a woman is experiencing. Symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, in-

somnia, irritability and depression, nervousness and anxiety, fatigue, heart palpitations, digestive issues, joint pain or stiffness, osteoporosis, loss of sex drive, and vaginal dryness are all signs that the body is not functioning at optimum health and that imbalances need to be corrected. With menopause and aging, the organs most involved are the kidneys and the liver. The kidney functioning naturally begins to decline as we age, and the liver is involved in regulating the menstrual cycle as well as balancing our emotions. Acupuncture helps to move the body’s energy in its proper directions and amounts and to encourage these organs to function properly again. It has a regulating effect on the body, and promotes normal functioning of the various organs and systems at work in our body. By this principle, it can help to regulate hormone functioning, our sleep cycles, our energy, our digestion, and our moods. It is also a great stress reliever. With regular treatments we can begin to see a reduction in the severity of perimenopause symptoms and in the frequency that they are experienced, a sign that a healthy balance is being regained. Acupuncture can help with many of the symptoms of perimenopause, from hot flashes and night sweats to moods, energy, and stress, to digestive issues and joint pain. It is an excellent therapy for helping to ensure a healthy transition into menopause, embracing the changes that this new stage of life brings.

Do your bit to prevent more deaths

t’s upsetting to see a tranquilized 450-pound black bear fall from a tree and be shot, then be hauled unceremoniously off to be disposed of. It’s disrespectful to what is an iconic, top-ofthe-food-chain, majestic wild animal, symbolic of B.C.’s wilderness. However, he’s not an animal I would want to run into in the dark in my yard either. He’d be sure to win any tussle with an unarmed human—especially one my size. I believe it’s just a miracle that some innocent youngster, trotting off to school with his lunch in his backpack, hasn’t been knocked over by a bear in a desperate quest for a meal—yet. That’s one of the worst possibilities as long as we entertain bears in our neighbourhoods by setting out feasts of garbage, pet food, calorie-rich bird feed, trees full of ripe fruit

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves and nuts and smelly barbecue grills. Bears have been caught getting so bold as to enter houses to go through the kitchen garbage, to the dismay of homeowners—once they’d become accustomed to dining on your leftovers the way this one had. Once they become garbage-habituated, the conservation officers have little choice. It’s their responsibility to act once a bear presents a neighbourhood threat to safety or property. Every CO I’ve ever talked to has said it’s the absolute worst part of their job and the furthest

from the reason why they trained to enter the CO service. But people keep on leaving out their garbage and attracting bears, which ultimately ends in the scene where the dead bear is carted off for disposal, like a dandelion in a lawn. They’re just in the wrong place at the wrong time. What’s needed is for local government to take responsibility for educating residents about the impact of not managing attractants sensibly; for enacting bylaws making it illegal to set out garbage prior to the morning of collection day and otherwise attracting dangerous wildlife; and enforcing that bylaw until people get the message. The program exists; the training exists for those educators, as do the materials; and there are even subsidy programs available to help with the cost of employing a Bear

Aware Coordinator to carry out the program. It’s already in operation both north and south of the Central Okanagan, and bears don’t recognize political boundaries, so it makes no sense there isn’t one here yet. This fall, four bears had to be killed in West Kelowna alone, and traps were set out for even more who had become a threat to public safety. Local conservation officers are frustrated and puzzled by the lack of cooperation from local government here in the Central Okanagan. The good news is there is a program already in place to help with out problem. The bad news is we’re refusing to use it, even though it’s a nominal cost: between $2,500 and $15,000 a year depending on how much financial support can be raised through other sources. This is the time of year when bears are in

Let’s step up to the plate and keep both bears and our communities safe.

That same program, WildSafe B.C., also works to prevent conflicts with other wildlife such as coyotes who attack pets, deer destroying gardens and cougars. Politicians react to what their constituents have to say, so if you agree we should bring the

CONCERT

Over the past six years, a Christmas tradition has developed for many people in Kelowna—the annual “Christmas Bells & Whistles” concert presented by the Alleluia Ringers handbell choir and the Merrie Pipers recorder orchestra. This year the popular concert takes place on Sunday, Dec. 15, 2 p.m., at First United Church in Kelowna (corner of Richter and Bernard). Admission is by donation at the door (suggested amount $12). Two other six-yearlong traditions: Ralph Milton, a well-known United Church speaker and writer is MC; and the concert is followed by hot apple cider and shortbread. This year’s featured guest artists are soprano Jessica Sage and pianist Graham Vink. Jessica Sage is highly regarded for her expressive interpretation of Baroque and Classical repertoire, and is also a specialist in contemporary music. The Merrie Pipers recorder orchestra formed in 2001 as a small music class within Kelowna’s Society for Learning in Retirement. Although all retirees, these dedicated players take their continuing musical growth seriously. Nine members of the group attended a sixday Early Music workshop—involving a hundred recorder students of all ages, with professionals from Montreal and the USA— at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma last July. Sue MacDonald directs the Merrie Pipers. The art of handbell ringing is becoming increasingly popular in the Okanagan. The Alleluia Ringers bell choir, an active part of the music program

On Dec. 19, the Nobel Prize medals will be presented to some of the world’s most outstanding contributors in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, economics and peace at ceremonies in Sweden and Norway. But what is often lacking in the discussion of the Nobel prizes is what the discovery means in everyday language, or how it is relevant to a non-expert audience. So that same night a panel of distinguished professors at UBCO will discuss five of this year’s Nobel Prize winners. “The Nobel Prizes are given each year to the top achievements in the sciences and the arts, but many are unaware of how these accomplishments will impact them,” said Deborah Buszard, UBC deputy vice-chancellor and principal of the Kelowna campus. “Nobel Night gives us all a chance to hear from our own experts in these fields, whose research builds on the great achievements of past Nobel winners.

CONCERT

The annual Opry Christmas show is on Sunday, Dec. 8, at the Emmanuel Church auditorium, 2600 Hebert Rd., in Westbank. Doors open at 1:30 p.m. and the show starts at 3 p.m.. Admission at the door is $8/single or $15/ couple.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ MOVIE REVIEW

▼ CD REVIEWS

Clarkson a keeper at Christmas Philomena a must-see KELLY CLARKSON; WRAPPED IN RED (RCA) This first Christmas album from Kelly Clarkson was released a couple of days before Halloween and it made its debut at the lofty number four spot on Billboard charts. Wrapped In Red has not been out of the top 10 for six weeks but, believe it or not, this Yuletide album will battle it out for the best selling seasonal release with the novelty recording Duck The Halls: A Robertson Family Christmas CD. You can hear the broad appeal of Clarkson’s Christmas album fairly early into its first listen. Clarkson (and her producers) dabble in an eclectic array of styles and usually come up sounding right on. The album opens with Clarkson’s original title track that pays homage to Phil Spector’s Christmas album, especially with the layers of percussion instruments. The next song, Underneath The Tree, is another original that explores a little retro ’60s girl group vibe while the rocking cover of Chuck Berry’s Run Run Rudolph checks in with some chittlin’ circuit dynamics complete with hyped-up punctuating horns. Clarkson proves her R&B chops with the soulful cover of Charles Brown’s evergreen Please Come Home For Christmas (Bells Will Be Ringing) while she shines on well known tunes such as Silent Night (with Reba and Trisha Yearwood) and White Christmas. Elvis’s Blue Christmas gets an interesting country remake. However, if you ever needed proof that Clarkson can really handle herself check out the version of Baby It’s Cold Outside where Ronnie Dunn sounds so over-matched he ought to maybe think about mixing a little water with his wine. A solid holiday album with more secular songs than mass ones and fans should note that the Deluxe Edition has a couple more songs. B

PHILOMENA

SOUNDING OFF

This little movie, based on actual events, will touch everyone who sees it, perhaps in different ways, but the impact will be felt. Based on a true story, as told in Martin Sixsmith’s book The Lost Child of Philomena Lee, it follows the journey of Lee who gave birth, as a teenager at the Sisters of Mercy Nunnery in Ireland, and spent the next

Bruce Mitchell best movie mankind has ever made. Watch for this film to get a huge revival boost after the Golden Globe and Academy Awards where it will probably reopen at mall big screens. Anyway, a film this revered certainly deserves a soundtrack album and this new disc is a hybrid of score music but with a greater emphasis on new songs “inspired by the film.” Also, this disc has drawn the attention of some of the best blues, R&B and soul singers with John Legend, Alicia Keys, Gary Clark Jr., Alabama Shakes, Laura Mvula and even Chris Cornell ex of Soundgarden fame. There are a few stylized worker/slave “field songs” with a call and response style highlighted by Legend’s Roll Jordan Roll and Alabama Shakes Driva Man. Meanwhile, Clark Jr.’s rustic delta blues of (In The Evening) When The Sun Goes Down—credited to Lonnie Donegan— is a superb slice of Americana while Alicia Keys’ Queen Of The Field (Patsy’s Song) is moody and otherworldly reflecting the lyric “born to scream not to dream.” Finally, Cody Chesnutt closes things out with his contemporary gospel song that asks the film’s main theme question: What Does Freedom Mean (To A Free Man). B

them. But such is the legacy of Hendrix, four and a half decades after his death, that this new and first time officially released (as in it was widely available as a bootleg) Miami Pop Festival made its debut in the top 20 sales charts. Back in 1968 Hendrix brought along his recording engineer Eddie Kramer to record these concerts and hence the sound is fabulous (and recently remastered by Kramer). Hendrix played two shows at Miami and this album features songs from the evening show as well as a couple from the earlier afternoon show (all of which are inexplicably not included here). At the time Hendrix was still performing as The Jimi Hendrix Experience as his rhythm team of Mitch Mitchell and

Noel Redding had yet to move on, and so Hendrix plays exclusively songs from his first album along with a couple of covers. This was considered strange at the time as Hendrix had the Axis Bold As Love in the can but performed none of it. Anyway, there are exhilarating takes here of Purple Haze, Fire, I Don’t Live Today, Foxey Lady his definitive Hey Joe as well as a 12-minute version of Red House. This set is probably best for hard core fans who will also want to know that a DVD titled Hear My Train A Comin’ has been re-issued and augmented with concert footage from Miami, New York gigs as well as the Peace & Love Festival and Top Of The Pops video.

hile we enjoy the effects of the local food revolution with consumers again looking to their local farmers for sustenance, small family businesses like Sterling Chicken are thankfully thriving. Lisa and Hans Dueck, of Falkland, are producing locally raised, 100 per cent medication-free, sustainably grown chicken. Lisa says that their “brand new, state-of-theart barn allows us to grow sustainable chicken with amazing taste and quality. All of our chickens are government inspected, and are processed one at a time by hand, right on our own farm.” The result? Happy chickens. Happy chickens also equal delicious chickens.

FOOD & WINE TRAILS

Jennifer Schell Just this week I was watching chef Anthony Bourdain in Sicily cooking on an agriturismo (accommodation/restaurant located on a farm where meals are literally prepared farm to table). This is old world style cooking and Bourdain emphasizes that the treatment of the animals plays a huge role in the taste of the meat. It’s not just a good conscience thing (which it obviously should be) it is dignified, ethical husbandry practice and we should be paying atten-

tion to who is following this code and supporting them. The Duecks get it. Lisa can be found at the Kelowna Farmers & Crafters Market part of the year, but chicken lovers can order on line and meet her at a designated location for pick up. Because they are raising their poultry humanely, the availability of the product goes in cycles as the chicks grow to maturity. So basically, you will just have to load up when you see her and then be patient waiting for the next round. I promise that you will not see more beautiful chicken than these girls. They are big, plump, juicy and will provide an epiphany of “oh yes, this is what chicken tastes like!” Whole chickens,

wings, drums, breasts, thighs and bones for stock (make sure to order the wings—they are like none I have ever seen.) They also make Okanagan farmer sausage and pepperoni. Lisa says: “We will be doing a fresh batch of birds every three weeks over the winter, with the next deliveries to Kelowna being Dec. 8, Dec. 29, Jan. 19 and Feb. 9.” Call, email, or Facebook Lisa to place your orders. 250-309-2317, email eatchicken@telus.net, or visit www.facebook.com/ SterlingSpringsChicken. While we are talking good bird, put Mike Hamblett from Hamblett Highland Farm in Armstrong on your shopping list. Mike is that smiling turkey farmer you will find at the Kelowna

Farmers & Crafters Market—sometimes he even brings one of his gobbling friends with him and in turn they get a free promotion to pet turkey. Happy, free-run, hormone free turkeys roam his land and make for a delicious Christmas feast. The rest of the year, I am never without Mike’s other turkey products in my freezer. Ground turkey, turkey cutlets, turkey tenders, turkey breast and more. All gorgeous, all local, all sustainable. Fresh turkeys can be ordered from Mike at high.land@telus.net or call 250-546-6322.

This show gives us laughter, tears, heartbreaking revelations, and poignant moments and lets us know that there is always the choice to either cling to anger or embrace forgiveness. Judi Dench, as always, is wonderful—she truly is Philomena and Steve Coogan (who also wrote the screenplay) as the cynical journalist is the perfect foil for Dench’s character and her quest to reach out to the past. They need each other and the result is true magic. The “flashbacks” in the film were done with home movies, but some were actual footage of Philomena’s real son. In one scene, there is reference to Jane Mansfield and Jane Russell. Peter Hermann, who plays Peter in the movie, is actually married to Jane Mansfield’s daughter, Mariska Hargity. If there were 10 reels—this show would get all 10. As it is, I give Philomena five reels as a must-see movie—you won’t be disappointed.

The chief of medical staff at Kelowna General Hospital says tonight’s first ever Teddy Bear Toss being held by the Kelowna Rockets is a great partnership for the hospital in its attempt to become

more involved in the community. Dr. Mike Ertel says while KGH has become one of the most exciting and dynamic hospitals in the country to work at, it’s important that the growing health facility not lose sight of the importance of being involved with the

community. KGH will receive as many as 6,000 teddy bears that will be donated by the Kelowna Rockets at the first ever Teddy Bear Toss on Friday night at Prospera Place. “We’re really excited and appreciative to have the Rockets involved with

us,” said Ertel. “As a hospital we are trying to become more involved in community events and we want to get the word out about the great things that are happening. We’re growing in leaps and bounds and we are providing world-class service, but we really want

the hosptial to be as human as possible and still have that small town feel.” This year will be the first year the Rockets have asked fans to bring a Teddy bear to the game as the club could not find See Rockets A25

Kelowna’s Hubble golden at judo worlds Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

When Kathy Hubble attended a practise session last August at the Kelowna Judo Club, she had no idea it would lead to something far grander than an evening of exercise and camaraderie. A little more than a year later, the 45-yearold Kelowna woman is a world champion. Hubble, who returned to competition last fall after a 24-year absence, captured a gold medal in the women’s masters division at the International Judo Federation World Veterans Championships last month in Abu Dhabi. “It’s been an amazing experience,” said Hubble, who won gold in the 52 kg class. “To be away from judo that long and to come back and accomplish this, it’s really a satisfying feeling.” A national and worldclass competitor in her teens while growing up in Delta, Hubble won a silver at the 1985 Pan Am judo championships and a bronze at the 1987 Pan Am Games. But by 1988, Hubble was feeling “burned out” and left the sport behind to pursue other interests, including working as a stunt performer on hundreds of films for over two decades. Six years after moving to Kelowna in 2006, Hubble was back in the sport

My fellow instructors were the driving force in getting me to compete again and see what I could do. They kept urging me to go for it.” After dominating her opponents in several com-

petitions—and despite many sore muscles and joints along the way— Hubble eventually rose to the top at the national level, winning the Canadian masters title earlier this year in Richmond. “Winning nationals was the deciding factor, that was enough to convince me to take a shot at worlds,” said Hubble. “I put my nose to the grindstone and started training

Without improving that, I would have no hope at worlds.” At the world championships, Hubble took down the national champions from Italy, Germany and Austria, all by Ippon (perfect score), in successive matches to advance to the gold medal match.

In the final, against European champion Brigette Rasschaert of France, there was little to choose between the two combatants. “My first three fights ended in 30 seconds to a minute, all by Ippon, but this one went the full three minutes, then to overtime,” Hubble explained. “Neither of us had anything left. Maybe she was a bit more spent than I was. I think it was just pure luck, she came in for a throw, I countered and got the Ippon.” Luck or not, Hubble had won her first international gold medal. “My coach flung me in the air, my teammates came down from the stands and did the same,” said Hubble, who thanked many of her friends as well as her daughter, Tia, for their support over the last year. “I was pretty elated and I’ve been flying high ever since. It was very cool to stand on the podium and to hear (Canada’s) national anthem. It’s what I had as a vision, kind of a what I had hoped for coming back and training so hard for a year.” With a world title in her possession, Hubble said she can now walk away from the competitive side of the sport for good, and with no regrets. She’ll now focus on teaching her students at the Kelowna Judo Club, while spreading the word about the many benefits of practising judo.

of your workstation is a large reason for FHP. Make sure the top of your screen is eye level and straight in front. Your seat height should keep your hips, knees and ankles at 90 degrees. Keep the distance from the screen appropriate for your eyesight. You may even need to get your eyes checked as you may be inherently poking forward to see the screen properly. As for driving, make sure your seat height allows easy forward vision. It is common to get lazy on long drives and feel your head slumping forward. Use your rear view mirror as a guide. If you are seeing the ceiling of the car an hour into a drive, you know you’re bobbing. Try your best efforts with rest, ice and maybe even anti-inflammatories (with your doctor’s recommendation). If the problem is still at large, there are some very beneficial things your physiotherapist can do to help. Through a combination of manual joint and soft tissue manipulation,

ave you noticed a little hump slowly developing on the base of your neck? Are you noticing increased pain with activities like knitting, reading, driving long distances and sitting at the computer. These signs and symptoms may be manifested by an ever so common problem called forward head posture (FHP). FHP is essentially when your head starts creeping forward ahead of your shoulders, or a forward poking of the chin. Some people can blame genetics and degeneration on this problem but a lot of us are guilty right from an early age through our bad habits. The problem with FHP is that it places increasing shearing stresses on the joints and discs in the neck and upper back and the forward shearing of the vertebrae closes down the foramen (holes) where the nerves come out. This of course leads to joint and disc pain and possibly nerve impingement. Habits are tough to change but can be re-

some of the secondary joint and muscle stiffness can be relieved. Often traction, either manual or mechanical, is an asset in readily improving the problem. Traction is a technique that every so slightly pulls the vertebrae apart with a goal of taking pressure off the nerve, disc and joint space. More importantly, the process of the foramen being slightly stretched open and relaxed creates a circulatory effect to help move swelling out of the region. And lastly, if the pain and stiffness has been going on longer than eight weeks, IMS can be a very effective form of treatment in releasing neck compression caused by neuropathically tightened muscles.

Santa bus ready to roll

The public is invited to get on board the Kelowna Regional Transit Santa Sleigh Bus and bring toys, food and monetary donations for the Salvation Army. This year marks the 11th year of the Santa Sleigh Bus, which will tour the Central Okanagan from Dec. 8 to 14. The kick-off to this year’s Santa Sleigh Bus will take place outside of City Hall (on Queensway beside the Bennett Clock and fountain) on Monday, Dec. 9, 4 p.m. “Year after year, they continue to assist us in raising money and raising awareness of the needs within the community,” said Salvation Army Maj. Ron Cartmell. “With the help of the community, we are able to provide Christmas food and toy hampers for more than 1,000 children at Christmas time and 6,000 individuals throughout the year.” In the previous 10 years, nearly $209,000 has been raised in toys, food and cash for this cause.

NEWS ▼ CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

The Yuletide calendar of events busy in the Hodge home I t’s starting to look a lot like Christmas around the Hodge household. Close friends are not surprised by that statement since I’m noted for being a champion of Christmas. However, even for one probably originally destined to be North Pole elf, my house decorating schedule was absurdly advanced this year. My first justification for early decorations is that for the past nine years I’ve hosted the Night of the Arts fundraising concert. After the first such concert in mid-December 2005, I held and after-party for the volunteers and decided to decorate the house to add merriment. For year two, I again hosted the after-party yet failed to decorate the home, and to my surprise that clearly disappointed many. The concert, after party, and house decorating have become synonymous. This year’s concert was held Nov. 16 and Tez and I decided to start decorating Nov. 5 just to get it ready. Which segues to excuse number two—Tez. There may be no bigger Christmas nut than Tez. Truly, the lady is a walking, talking, Christmas promotion. Her child-like joy for Christmas is a contagious, constant source of holiday inspiration. The third and probably most influential reason our house already looks like a mini North Pole is…well, moi.

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge I’ve adored Christmas since before I remember remembering. I blame it all on my parents who for a variety of reasons inspired my passion. Mother was a wonderful, jolly and full of life and love lady who had a child-like twinkle in her eye and artistic skill when it came to house decorating for the holidays. She was always singing Christmas carols and making related crafts in November. I recall with joy watching her painstakingly create homemade Yule logs for the fireplace months before the season arrived. Christmas baking started early with the traditional Christmas cake (rum and all)! Dad also inspired a love for Christmas in a couple of ways including his Jekyll and Hyde personality traits. Father had an unpredictable and explosive disposition at home, a side of him that often found me cowering in my room or hiding at some other home. However, at Christmas father transformed into another being, and for a few days before and after he was a jolly, kind, thankful man who truly embraced the Christmas spirit. It was the one time of year Dad was on his

best behaviour—and I felt safe. Another caring trait Dad had was the tradition of always having a stranger, street urchin, or someone who had nowhere to go—at our Christmas dinner table. In the Hodge house— that joyful tradition continues. I love Christmas—always have, always will. The majority of my many merry memories are motivated by friends, family and partners in my life. Monetarily I have mostly been thin over the years; however that has had minuscule impact on the joy and brevity of Christmas in my house. Like others I’ve had plenty of sorrow or depression sweep over me during the holiday seasons. However, I am blessed enough to have always dug deep enough inside to extract the pleasure of life and love at Christmas time. When I did not— others stepped in. I will never forget some six years ago when, for various reasons (mostly self inflicted), I had nowhere and no one to share Christmas with. A person I hardly knew (at the time) Shelley Vida made the kind offer of joining her and her father for Christmas Day. I never did accept the offer but the kindness of her outreach literally made my holidays joyful. It is kind and caring actions such as that which make Christmas special. This year I have so many reasons to be thankful and thrilled with the Christmas season. Aside from Tez, I will

have two grandchildren (one 4 the other 22) and a great-grandchild to enjoy at Christmas. I anticipate a table full of friends and family gathered inside our humble yet stuffed full of decorations home. Apple cider and hot chocolate will be constantly on the stove and the baking has already

begun. Home-made gifts are being prepared, and our Christmas events calendar is filling up. Life does not get a whole lot better than this—and I am so blessed. I wish and hope you and yours squeeze as much joy out of the next month as we will. From our home to yours, Merry Christmas.

••• Of course, another tradition reminder is due. It’s time to send me your list of personal angels for the annual Charlie’s Angels Christmas List. Email me names of people you consider angels in your life. Most of us have a couple when we think about it; folks who have gone above and be-

yond in kindness to help others in the year. Send their names to charliehodge333@gmail. com with a brief reason why they are Angels, and I will run them in a column before Christmas. It is your way of acknowledging someone who has done something nice without any expectation of a thank you.

stockings for local children are another group of Kelowna kids. The We Love Lucy Society, a local non-profit organization providing assistance to Lucy Long, a 16-year-old Kelowna girl with down syndrome are sharing their sewing talents. The society is donating 500 custom-made bean bags to add to the treats and small gifts in each child’s stocking. These colourful bean bags are not only great for developing motor skills in the younger children, they are also a fun addition to game play. Fabricland has donated the fabric for this beanbag donation. Bright, fun buttons are always popular with kids, and local nine-year-old Jesse Beaner is making sure every stocking has a button personally created by him. Involved with Making Memories since a young age, his home business, Jesse Beaner’s Button Business, is working overtime making buttons for each child attending the Nutcracker performance. The buttons often sport favourite kids activities, cartoon animals, maple leafs and balloons, but for this occasion, each will feature images from The Nutcracker as a memento of this memorable occasion. The stockings will also contain freshly baked cookies with the efforts of the Junior Chef members of the Okanagan Chefs Association, Okanagan College Culinary Students, Okanagan Grocery and Sysco. And thanks to our supporters and Kelowna City Transit, these special Making Memories guests can travel to and from the theatre for free and will be greeted at the theatre by Santa and his personal Santa bus.

“The Earth is beautiful. The Earth is beautiful. The Earth is beautiful.” —Navajo blessing song It was 7 a.m. when the tour van got stuck in the sand, the temperature was 32 F and it was still a little bit dark. My sister and I, the only passengers, got out of the battered vehicle and stomped around to keep warm amid the sharp gray-green sagebrush and

snakeweed. Otherworldly spires in the distance were silhouetted by the impending sunrise. All was silent in this magnificent Navajo tribal park along the Utah-Arizona border. Then I heard clanking. It was the driver, Don, trying to jack up the rickety Dodge Ram van’s right rear tire in the deep sand of the off-road trail. Then he trudged out of the ditch. He called someone on his cell. He said, “I knew I should have brought my own truck, but they made me take this one.” He didn’t say much

else. He tried driving us out of the ditch, half-heartedly, a few more times. Then he called the tribal park version of AAA, a friend with a truck. Outside the van, my sister and the driver stood patiently and silently in the crisp splendour of Navajo country. Inside the van, I grumpily sneaked a sip from the driver’s Thermos of hot coffee and plotted how we could avoid paying $95 each for the hopelessly delayed three-hour tour.

I have to explain that visiting Monument Valley has been a dream of mine for at least three years. A photograph of Monument Valley’s awesome topaz and sapphire-coloured landscape is thumbtacked to the bulletin board next to my desk. The park’s 3-yearold the VIEW hotel has garnered rave reviews for its service and vistas from every room. Monument Valley is so iconic that anyone who ever saw a movie will recognize it. It’s the place where Forrest

Gump tires of running and says, “Think I’ll go home now.” It’s the place where sandstone buttes and strange-shaped spires stand like beautiful monuments carved by God. It’s the place that has been the backdrop for famous Westerns, from John Wayne’s first film, Stagecoach,” in 1939 to Johnny Depp’s bomb The Lone Ranger” early this year.

Monument from A29 year, is quirky. Operated by the Navajo Nation, the park has excellent, well-paved entrance roads. However, the 17-mile loop tour inside the park has dirt roads that are really, really terrible, so terrible that they recommend you do not drive your own vehicle unless it is fourwheel drive, and certainly do not go off-trail lest you get stuck in sand or tumble into a ditch. Tours are operated independently by Navajo vendors, so you deal directly with each vendor and get what driver and vehicle they offer—rickety van, nice truck, chilly open-sided vehicle or sturdy Jeep. And you really do need to do the tour if you want to see the park’s hidden wonders which we did, which was why I was on this sunrise tour in the middle of nowhere, tapping my foot.

Monument Valley might have eternity, but I did not. Naturally, we got out of there. After an hour, a friend of Don’s came with a big Chevy and towed the van out in 2 minutes, and away we went. It was done in what is often called the Navajo way— not much talk. Not much mention of what happened. Just continue on. And Don didn’t scrimp on the tour. We started near Totem Pole, a famous spire that is one feature of Monument Valley’s unique geology. Rocks you see today are about 160 million years old, formed when water, wind, volcanic eruptions and an uplifting of the Earth’s crust created what look like statues and monuments across a vast plain. In the valley, we saw Anasazi rock drawings of animals, echoes of an anSee Monument A31

cient Southwest people who lived here as long ago as 1300 AD They vanished, long before the Navajo arrived 400 years ago. The van bumped along and made it safely to two iconic outposts that have famous openings in the rock—Sun’s Eye, surrounded with stripes on the rock that look like eyelashes, and Ear-in-the-Wind, in the shape of a human ear. We passed buttes shaped like elephants and camels and the twin buttes Right Mitten and Left Mitten (eerily shaped like Michigan). The van shuddered on sandy roads past a trio of spires called the Three Sisters, and past mesas as big as whole city blocks. Visitors used to the y

emptiness of national parks might find it jarring, but people live in Monument Valley. Some Navajo clans still dwell in tiny enclaves, and their trailers are dots in the landscape—but a definite human presence. From the valley, we also could spot the VIEW hotel in the far distance. Low-slung and tan coloured, it was nearly invisible. Which is exactly as the hotel designers planned it. Finally, on a high cliff, we stood at John Ford’s Point, where the movie director liked to stand when orchestrating his magnificent Westerns and where today you can take a picture of a horse in front of the scenery for $2. A local vendor was struck by lightning and killed at that spot in 2006. Then Don talked as

he drove. He worried that kids today aren’t ambitious. He said his dad would whip him if he didn’t obey, but now you can’t spank kids, too bad. And then he drove us back to the hotel parking lot. When we got there an hour late, nobody said anything about our mishap, the tour vendor didn’t apologize, and I don’t know why but I only made a token attempt to get our tour rate cut. In the end, I paid for the whole thing, plus a $20 tip for Don, who was still brushing the sand out of his boots. As I went in for break-

fast, I realized that it didn’t matter, the money or the delay or the ditch. What mattered was, the Earth is beautiful.

IF YOU GO

Getting there: Monument Valley is 5 1/2 hour drive north of Phoenix. Along the way are Sedona and Flagstaff and the Navajo towns of Tuba City and Kayenta. No gas stations except in the towns. Admission: $5 to enter the tribal park. (http://navajonationparks.org/htm/ monumentvalley.htm.) Lodging: The VIEW hotel (from $219/night, www.monumentvalleyview.com, 435-727-

5555); Gouldings Lodge (four miles from Monument Valley); Hampton Inn in Kayeta (30 miles). Tours: Book tours when you arrive from vendors in the hotel parking lot. A three-hour tour is about $100. Driving the 17-mile loop on your own generally requires a four-wheel-drive vehicle. You also can hike the 3.2mile Wildcat Trail or take a horseback ride. Note: No alcohol is sold inside the Navajo Nation, including restaurants. Ellen Creager is a reporter with the Detroit Free Press.

I supported photo radar initially because when used in high-collision locations, elsewhere in the world, it has a remarkable record for reducing death and injuries. It never operated that way in BC and soon became public enemy number one where it was perceived as merely a cash cow for greedy provincial government. Residents were also asked about the quality of British Columbia’s roads and infrastructure. More than seven-in-

Overall, only 16 per cent of British Columbians believe that the province’s roads are “not too safe” or “not safe at all” for motorists, while four-in-five (82 per cent) consider them “very safe” or “moderately safe.” This is the first of four surveys Insights West will conduct during the next year in partnership with Black Press. We hope these poll findings will find their way in the current speed limit and traffic safety review by the provincial government. This week in Driveway, our “Question of the Week” and “Drives-U-Crazy” spots focus on speed-related issues please participate online.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

During the months of November and December there is an 86 per cent increase in crashes where a pedestrian is injured compared to July and August. Always be on the lookout for pedestrians – especially in dark, wet weather when visibility is limited, at intersections and near transit stops.

About the survey: Results are based on an online study conducted from October 23 to October 27, 2013, among 838 British Columbians who are aged 18+ and are Your Insights panel members. YourInsights.ca is Insights West’s in-house access panel offering on-demand samples for both clients and research suppliers looking for Western Canadian populations. The data has been statistically weighted according to Canadian census figures for age and gender. While statistical margins of error are arguably not applicable to online panels/online studies of this nature, we have assumed that the same margins of error apply as if it were a true unweighted random probability sample with a margin of error of +/- 3.4 percentage points, nineteen times out of twenty.

DL9776

The Mercedes CLA 250 is here and it is a cause for celebration. This stylish compact car is powerful, filled with all kinds of features and starts at an amazing $33,900. What this means for the entire car market is a trend towards more car for less money. If Mercedes Benz can sell such a competent car for so little, the pressure will be on non-premium brands to sharpen their pencil, add more features, and revise their prices lower. Mercedes already has a very affordable hatchback with the B250, which arrived about a year ago and is the basis for this CLA. Both of these cars open up Mercedes Benz to a new market of buyers who might have been thinking about buying a non-premium brand but now realized a CLA is within reach. This, along with Mercedes strong resale value will help to keep lease rates low, amplifying the value this car offers. Looks Mercedes helped create the “coupe” 4-door sedan several years ago with the CLS sedan, which is based on the E-Class sedan. By dropping the roof, raking the front and rear windows and adding a more aggressive front end, produces an eye-catching sedan that looks classy and aggressive at the same time. Mercedes has taken this formula and applied it to the B-Class platform to produce this coupe-like sedan. The base

The AMG look is more aggressive, providing a bigger front air intake and chin spoiler to complete the look. (The car pictured here does not have the AMG package but does have the bigger wheels) The side windows are slim as is the back window for limited outward visibility, not so much for the driver but the rear seat passengers, especially kids. Inside One trend I’m not sure I like is placing a screen in the centre of the dash, like putting an iPad Mini in the permanently placed in middle of the dash. It doesn’t look particularly polished, almost like an afterthought. Audi’s new A3 sedan, arriv-

is a perfect example of this. Other new entries include the latest A3 that arrives in March and starts at $31,100 and then the new BMW 1 Series will arrive in about a year.

For the price of a wellequipped non-premium brand Canadians can now get a premium German sedan for about the same price. If I were to get this CLA 250, I would include the premium package to get the sunroof, backup camera and heated seats. The Sport package is also tempting for the bigger wheels. This would bring the price up to $38,300. Not cheap, but you do a get a lot of car and features for this price. I hear that BC’s Mercedes Benz dealers have had huge interest in this new CLA with back orders now in place as they try to get as many cars as they can. A nice problem for Mercedes to have and they derive it as this is a great car for the money. zack.spencer @drivewaybc.ca

premium. The better bet for families is the less expensive B-Class ($30,500) because it offers a bigger back seat and hatchback storage. Drive The launch event for this new CLA was held in the Washington DC area, leaving historic Georgetown and heading towards Maryland’s ports and navel academy. This provided some excellent stop-andgo traffic opportunities in Washington’s morning rush hour and then getting to stretch the new CLA’s legs on fabulous Interstate highways. The power plant is a direct injection turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with a healthy 208hp. The power goes through a 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission to the front wheels. The more expensive and powerful 355hp CLA 45 AMG has an all wheel drive (AWD) system as standard equipment but the base CLA 250 will get this important option sometime in 2014. Power is fantastic, especially if the transmission is placed in the sportier mode. This car cruises effortlessly at highway speeds and passes with ease. Even though it uses the same engine as the B-Class, this car felt more planted and sophisticated, maybe due to the lower centre of gravity and a trunk, which will muffle road noise compared to the hatchback. All CLA models come with a Collision Prevention Assist feature that alerts the driver to the possibility of an impending collision. Verdict We are heading into a wonderful period of lower priced cars, or vehicle fitted with more standard features. This new CLA 250

Self-appointed speed cops are a danger to themselves and everybody else on the road. We’ve all seen them in action: They stick themselves in the centre lane at the speed limit and will not move over to let anybody pass. It promotes impatience and frustration which leads to smashes. Leave speed enforcement to the cops. What drives-u-crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Again, the Ford Explorer Sport was not diesel, but a strong contender. Though, the fuel economy wasn’t as stellar as we had hoped. We had spent the better part of a road trip in an Acura MDX in 2013 but wanted to wait until 2014 for the all-new version. After taking that for a spin, that was top three on the list. We also fancied the Volvo XC90 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel. With all these great options, it was hard to narrow it down. But there was one that we had still not looked at. That was the 2014 VW

Touareg TDI. It wasn’t hard to fall in love with it. As a VW owner, it’s something I should have thought about right away. Testing it out fit everything we were looking for. The Touareg was within our price range, it had a generous cargo capacity, allwheel drive (for our various trips up the mountain) and best of all, a diesel engine. I’m a huge supporter of alternatives to gas-powered vehicles, whether that’s diesel, electric or hybrids. Upon recommendation from a colleague, we went to Gold Key VW in Langley

The Touareg was within our price range… and best of all, a diesel engine..

and I went looking for an SUV. It didn’t matter if it had five or seven seats. We preferred a diesel but were not excluding gasoline options. The first place we went to was the Mercedes-Benz dealership. The ML350 Bluetec was in a new generation and something we were interested in. However, with the options we wanted and a three month wait time, the price was out of our range and the wait was too long. Then we looked into the Mazda CX-9. Granted, it’s not a diesel but a classy car and one that’s nice to drive.

Dodge RAM 2500/3500 Heavy Duty 2010-’12 A subtle change to the revamped 2010 Dodge RAM Heavy Duty (HD) pickup was the almost complete absence of the Dodge nameplate. There was a time when Dodge was embossed in huge letters across the tailgate and it would soon disappear completely, as “RAM” became dominant. The Crew Cab body was new a addition to the HD truck line of RAM, which was also offered in Regular Cab and Mega Cab body styles and in five trim

change was the re-introduction of the renowned Cummings Diesel engine option. The addition of particulate scrubbing emission equipment had made the big in-line turbo diesel legal once again in both the US and Canada. This engine offers phenomenal pulling power in addition to fuel-economy and a longer driving range benefits. The 2010 RAM HD also joined GM and Ford in offering an integrated trailer hitch and a trailer brake controller. A nice

added feature is that the brake action appears on the instrument panel as a bar graph. This makes it easier for a driver to monitor and adjust controller settings. The 2010’s towing and hauling capability numbers are also up and rated to pull up to 7,983 kg (17,600 lb) and carry 2,336 kg (5,150 lb) of payload, depending on how it’s equipped. The front axle load carrying ability of 4WD models had also been increased to 2,495 kg (5,500 lb), which meant you could attach an even bigger snowplow. The standard engine is a 5.7-litre Hemi V8 that can supply 383 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. The optional 6.7-litre Cummins inline six-cylinder Turbo Diesel can supply 350 horsepower and a whopping 650 lb-ft of torque. It’s mated with either a six-speed manual (with an ultra-low first gear) or six-speed automatic with a feature that allows the driver to manually limit its highest gear and a tow/ haul mode. The Cummings is a truck diesel that makes customary diesel engine noses, so it’s far from quiet, especially when you start it up cold. The clatter isn’t so bad when you’re inside the cab, with the windows up, but your neighbours may not appreciate the early morning din. And when you get up to cruising speed on the highway, it’s barely noticeable. Other new features available on RAM HD include an electric shift-on-the-fly 4×4 transfer case, a back-up camera that makes trailer hook-ups easier and a monitor that provides a variety of vehicle information. The cab rides on a new C-pillar positioned hydraulic body mounts and there were suspension upgrades plus larger front axle U-joints. Changes for 2011 were minimal, but include a tire pressure monitoring system and the LaRAMie trim got standard trailer brake control. In 2012, the HD got a six-speed automatic transmission and a RAMBox storage system was expanded to the 6-foot-4 bed. The base engine’s towing capability was increased by 2,000 lbs, thanks to a new 4.10 ratio rear end. Big, brash and brawny,

the revamped heavy-duty (Dodge) RAM 2500/3500 was reunited with a cleaner, yet more powerful, Cummings Diesel … a match made in truck heaven. Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase. Recalls on the 2010 to 2012 Dodge RAM: 2009/2010—The brake booster input rod may have been installed without a retaining clip and could separate from the assembly, which would lead to a loss of brakes. Dealers will install or replace the retaining clips. 2010—automatic transmission vehicles may have a faulty Wireless Ignition Node (WIN) module that may allow the ignition key to be removed prior to placing the shifter in PARK. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace. 2010—An improperly formed master cylinder to hydraulic control unit brake tube assembly end-flare that could lead to a loss of brake fluid and reduced braking performance. Dealers will replace the suspect brake tubes. 2010—In vehicles equipped with the diesel engine and the hydroboost brake system, the power steering reservoir cap may have excessive vent pressure levels, which could result in a brake pedal that is slow to return once depressed. Dealers will replace the power steering reservoir cap. 2008 to 2011—On certain RAM 2500 and 3500 4x4, RAM 3500 cab chassis 4x2 and 4x4, and 2008 RAM 1500 Mega Cab 4x4 vehicles, the left outer tie rod ball stud could fracture. This tends to occur when making a tight turn during low speed parking type maneuvers. Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the left outer tie rod end. 2009/2010—The rear axle pinion nut could loosen and allow the rear driveshaft to detach from the axle, or from the vehicle. Dealers will install a pinion nut retainer. bob.mchugh @drivewaybc.ca

POINTER HELGA, EMMA February 22, 1933 ~ December 4, 2013 Our dear Helga, loving wife, mother and omi passed away at home December 4, 2013 after a brief battle with cancer. Helga leaves behind Fritz, her devoted husband of sixty years, son, Guenther (Marianne), daughters Sylvia (Paul), Anita (Denis), and Brenda (Richard) and grandchildren Hannes Wolfgang, Nicole Christopher, Mason, Cody and Garrett and first great granddaughter, Sarah. Also left behind is her cat Abby who rarely left her side during her illness. Helga left a legacy. She lived for her family and created an inviting home to all who entered it. She was an earth angel who devoted 25 plus years volunteering at Cottonwoods until her illness. The family would like to thank Deanna and all the supportive caregivers from the Interior Health palliative care unit and her dear lifelong friends for all of their support. No funeral service by request. A Celebration of Life will be planned for early Spring. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to the BC Cancer Agency.

Teaming up to help families in need

REAL ESTATE RUNDOWN

Ceinwen Morgan

he winter season is upon us and those who are less fortunate tend to go without. So this year, Re/Max Kelowna realtor Mark Ranger and TD Mortgages broker Trevor Tremblay have decided to team up with local radio station K96.3 Classic Rock to reach out and give back to the city and the people they love. Over the next few days you may see these two going from door to door asking for non-perishable items to donate to the Familes Feeding Families program.

Ranger and Tremblay will be asking for non-perishable food donations until Monday. If anyone would like to donate please call 250-2159221 and they will gladly come to your home to pick up your generous donation. “On the morning drive into work on Wednesday I was listening to the morning show with David and Tony and they had mentioned the charity event, Familes Feeding Families and how they would be fundraising for non-perishable food items on Monday, December 9, at the local Tim Hortons on Harvey and Spall,” said Tremblay. “This seemed like a good cause to support, so Mark and I are honoured to be a part of it and help out.” K96.3 will broadcast on location with Ranger

TREVOR Tremblay (left) and Mark Ranger. and Tremblay on Monday at the Tim Hortons from 5:30 to 9 a.m. Listeners will be encouraged to stop by with a non-perishable

CONTRIBUTED

food item or cash donation for the cause. Every donation counts and we’re happy to collect any non-perishable food

item you may have. There will be a Salvation Army Kettle on location to collect any cash donations as well. If you are looking for food donation ideas the Salvation Army says Snacks for Lunches is an area where families can always use help. “I feel that we have missed the meaning of the holiday season and I would like to get back to the roots of what this season is all about,” said Ranger. “This came to our attention and seemed like a good opportunity to partner up with K96.3 and give back to the community. I encourage all my friends, family and clients to reach out and donate any non-perishable food items to this great cause.” Ceinwen Morgan works in the Kelowna real estate industry .

▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

Time for a mortgage financial check-up While about 80 per cent of Canadians visit a doctor at least once a year for a health checkup, that figure is far less for those who review the financial health by their mortgage. Plenty can change during a standard five-year mortgage payment period between interest rate adjustments—a career change, kids, retirement, newfound money. Managing your financial lifestyle is just as important as managing your diet and exercise. People often just wait for a

renewal letter before looking at their mortgage, and even then they’ll send the contract back thinking it is futile to consider changing terms or providers. Consumers tend to become complacent about their mortgage payments when they could have an opportunity to save money. Interest rate changes tend to be most visible variable. You’re making a commitment to be mortgage-free in 25 years so you should have a longer term view of what interest rates will look like over that period

As well, an existing mortgage can pay for home renovations, or to consolidate debt. If you’re buying a new home, you may be able to use your current mortgage. A mortgage can also help you become more tax efficient if you’re thinking of investing in a business, buying a rental property or putting some money into mutual funds or the stock market. That’s because the interest paid on money borrowed on a principal property can be written off against revenue from those investments.

Situations in your life change, and when they do it’s important to assess how that can or will impact your mortgage. Of Prime Interest is contributed by mortgage brokers Darwyn Sloat, 250-718-411, dsloat@kelownahomemortgages.ca; Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324, trishb@kelownahomemortgages. ca; Kristin Rosdal, 250-8783007, kristin@kelownahomemortgages.ca; and Christine Hawkins, 250-826-2001, christine@kelownahomemortgages. ca

Positive month for housing sales

The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board reported November 2013 sales up 17 per cent compared to the same month in 2012, a continuation of the steady upward trend begun earlier this year when sales levels were at a cyclical low. While residential home sales for November improved year-over-year in most B.C. markets, consumer demand has edged back compared to October. A cooling off period is typically seen moving into winter and the holiday season, but the sluggish economy and anaemic job growth have already begun to take some of the steam out of the housing market across the province, and could dampen consumer confidence over the next few months, according to OMREB. “During the past seven months, the housing market in the Okanagan and Shuswap has improved as increased consumer de…WE REMAIN mand combined with fewFIRMLY IN A er homes for sale has led to more balanced condiBUYER’S MARKET tions,” said Karen SingTERRITORY, WHICH beil, OMREB president CAN BE VERY and a Shuswap realtor. CHALLENGING “However, we remain firmly in a buyer’s marFOR SELLERS AND ket territory, which can be BUYERS ALIKE. very challenging for sellers and buyers alike. To be competitive, successful home sellers typically have sharp pencils when setting their asking price. While short-term interest rates are expected to remain unchanged, buyers could face less flexible lenders and the risk of rising long-term fixed mortgage rates going forward.” OMREB’s three market areas are diverse. As a result, sales activity tends to vary among property types zone-by-zone and month-by-month with ups and downs at different times and locations. In order to fully understand the overall picture of the current residential market in our board area it is important to look at prices within property types and sale price trends within different price points. Broken down by zones within the OMREB region, the Central Zone (Peachland to Lake Country) saw November sales up 20.5 per cent to 323 units from 268 for the same month in 2012. Total residential sales for the month improved 27 per cent to 306 units compared to 241 last year.
