Mission Creek Restoration Initiative offers hope for lake and beyond Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

ogging along the Mission Creek Greenway in the early morning this spring, it was possible to catch sight of a rare species. In the wetlands, just north and south of Casorso Road, was a crop of scientists, and at times a photographer, willing to roll out of bed before most of us have even considered a cup of coffee and wade into the cold mud to count birds, survey plants, seek out amphibians and reptiles, and map their habitat. The team from Ecoscape Environmental Consulting are spending 10 months writing a prescription for Kelowna to heal a section of wetland in hopes government, or potentially the community at large, will invest in a restoration project unprecedented in the Okanagan. And from the scientists’ point of view, it is a solid investment. “Wetlands are easier (to restore) than habitat upland. As long as you have water, there are fewer invasive weed species likely to grow. The rooting characteristics in a wetland are specific. There’s no oxygen in the substrate (soil), so it’s really specific to certain plant communities,” said biologist Kyle Hawes. Hawes has a unique background. His grandmother took him out bird watching as a child and listening for the call of specific birds stuck. Songbird mixed tapes on long road trips, not to mention his master’s degree on dragon flies, and the inventory of bird calls he has logged on his phone, have left him with

living in the dikes and wetland along the Mission Creek Greenway just north and south of Casorso Road as part of the Mission Creek Restoration Initiative (missioncreek.ca). an ability to see the nuances and hear the language of the forest. At 5 a.m., the sound of the birds—Spotted Sandpiper, Northern Flicker, European Starling, Yellow Warbler, American Goldfinch, Redwinged Blackbird, Carolina Duck, Blue-winged Teal, Cinnamon Teal, Willow Flycatcher, Mallard, Swainson’s Thrush, Violet-green Swallow to name just a few—is deafening.

The males call back and forth, laying down their territory, letting each other know where they’re at as they set up for mating, nesting and fledging. Over the course of their time in this marshy land, the biologists have found Blue-listed, or vulnerable, species like the Great Basin spadefoot toad, the Western screech owl and the Lance-Tipped Darner dragonfly.

system is also a rarity in B.C. And then there are the Kokanee. “The Mission Creek Restoration Project started in the late ’90s and it was very much a fish-centric project,” said Todd Cashin, head of the City of Kelowna environment department. Kokanee salmon are a keystone species in the Okanagan. They feed the big rainbow trout anglers like to snag off Rattlesnake Island, and they’re

culturally significant, providing an aesthetic appeal one cannot flesh out in other species. Missing plankton or bugs doesn’t enthral audiences, whereas the kokanee’s decline is food for an elementary school paint-in. Whether one explains it through kokanee loss or nitrogen levels, the bottom line is that Okanagan Lake is not at peak health. “What is in the lake is like McDonald’s food

and we need to get it back to organic greens,” said Cashin, quoting a colleague who mentored him early on. Mission Creek is a huge contributor to Okanagan Lake. In addition to the more touchy-feely aspects of improving the creekside environment—like the relaxing impact bolstering the number of songbirds might have for those strolling the trail or the cooling effect of build-

ing a plant community with more shade for runners and cyclists— restoring this habitat should improve water quality in the lake. Funding should come from the floods. Prior to 2007, Mission Creek rarely flowed at 100 cubic metres per second or higher; it’s now a routine occurrence and has reached 130 cubic

metres per second. With farming and hiking, soccer and baseball, housing and critical biodiversity all competing in the corridor, it’s an important area. And it would appear our annual melt exceeds the abilities of the cooridor’s dikes. “I wouldn’t say anybody has concluded that climate change is having a significant effect just yet, but we are seeing some pretty crazy flows compared to what we’ve seen in the past,” said Cashin. The city would like to move the dikes back and mitigate the damage by drawing on the advantages of a fully-restored wetland. This could mean adding notches to new oxbows, or river bends, to provide overflow into a marsh with a secondary dike behind; it could mean stretching the width of the dike in different areas along the course of the creek, compensating in some places for what development has sewn up in others. Either way, the flood pitch, and the need to fix the dikes draws dollars.

Ennis opts to withdraw day parole bid

Total Pet carries agricultural feeds, horse feeds and bird seed

Kathy Michaels

Sure Crop

STAFF REPORTER

Mass murderer David Ennis withdrew his application for day parole this week. Tammy Arishenkoff, a representative of the Johnson and Bentley families that lost six of their own to Ennis in 1982, sent out an announcement about the hearing, Thursday. “Ennis has waived his right to a full parole review and also withdrawn his application for day parole,” she wrote. “At minimum, we will not have to revisit this

until 2016 and hopefully longer with pending new legislative changes to the existing parole system.” Arishenkoff’s relief came at the tail-end of another exhaustive effort to keep Ennis blocked from getting release. Drumming up public support while dredging up painful memories amounted to a significant community outpouring. They collected a total of 15,258 signatures —4,791 on paper and 10,467 online—for a petition to keep Ennis behind bars. A letter writing drive

Wildfire now contained All evacuation orders and alerts regarding the Smith Creek fire were lifted at 5 p.m. yesterday as crews fully contained the blaze. Shannon Lake Regional Park in West Kelowna also re-opened yesterday. Rainy weather conditions Wednesday and Thursday assisted firefighting efforts. A post-wildfire assessment of the Smith Creek fire area was completed by the BC Forest Service and Emergency Operations Centre Tuesday. Results indicated there is a low risk of erosion or debris flows, which sometimes occur when wildfire activity is followed by periods of heavy rain. Regardless, emergency personnel will continue to monitor the area for fire and drainage activity.

was also successful, but Arishenkoff isn’t sure of how many the parole board would have received. She also doesn’t know why Ennis chose to pull his application at this stage. “Maybe our numbers and news coverage made him realize he doesn’t have a chance,” she said. In August 1982 members of three generations of the Johnson and Bentley families—George and Edith Bentley of Port Co-

quitlam, their daughter Jackie Johnson and her husband, Bob, of Westbank and their two daughters, 13-year-old Janet and 11-year-old Karen—were camping in Wells Gray Provincial Park. Ennis stalked them for at least two days before he went to the campsite and shot the four adults so that he could kidnap the two young girls. Over the next few days Ennis kept the girls hostage and sexually assaulted Janet.

He eventually killed them as well, loaded all the bodies into one of the family’s vehicles and torched it in a secluded area of the park. Their remains were discovered on Sept. 13, 1982. It was another 14 months before investigators tracked down Ennis. In 1984 Ennis pleaded guilty to six counts of second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.

Local residents encouraged to learn how to protect their homes Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

The caretaker’s home at the top of Knox Mountain Park should be in good shape if a wildfire starts in the vicinity. This past spring, City of Kelowna and Kelowna Fire Department crews applied FireSmart standards to protect the home and nearby structures. The work has reduced the odds of the home incurring fire damage and is now being used by the city to demonstrate how residents living near forested regions can protect their homes from wildfire. “We’ve put what we’ve done to this house and the surrounding area onto (an) information board so that people, as they come up, can actually see what has been done,” said Rick Euper, fire and life safety educator with the Kelowna Fire Department. Euper said the FireSmart guidelines divide a property into three priority zones. The first priority includes the house and 10 metres that surround it. “We’ve put one metre of rock around the base, we’ve also cleared away any brush that would be a hazard (and) screened any openings to the building,” said Euper. Andrew Hunsberger, urban forest health technician with the City of Kelowna, explained zone two focuses on the area 10 to 30 metres from the home and zone three includes the rest of the prop-

FireSmart Canada

developed a community recognition program in 2012 to identify neighbourhoods that have taken steps to protect their homes. “We’ll recognize them as a FireSmart community; they’ll get a sign for their community to proudly display,” said Kelly Johnston, executive director with FireSmart. “The homes are the most vulnerable point, that’s what makes all of these fires a disaster in these areas…if the homes can’t burn, it’s not really a disaster.” Euper said the fire department responds to approximately 50 complaints annually regarding forest fuels on neighbouring properties. “We’ll go and take a look at it and we’ll work

According to Hunsberger, mitigation work is best done in the fall, winter or spring.

Platelet Rich Plasma and Stem Cells Regenerative treatments are a hot topic in healthcare today. They give you the ability to actually heal an injured shoulder, knee, or hip – rather than just mask the pain with drugs. For injured people of all ages regenerative treatments will give them back their lives. Too many people are limping through life, no longer able to play sports like golf or baseball because of old injuries that refuse to heal. Painful joints and muscles rob you of the joy of life and they shrink your world by forcing you to do less. Pain killers are not a long term solution for

joint pain. They may work for a while but they will only mask the pain and they will not actually heal your injuries. And, many pain killing drugs increase your risk of damaging your liver and kidneys.

injury to re grow damaged ligaments, tendons, and even muscles. Of course we all have dormant stem cells throughout our bodies, but injecting extra stem cells into an area of injury is an effective treatment.

The best way to solve joint pain and get back to an active life is to regenerate your injured ligaments and tendons. Regenerative medicine offers people in pain real hope of recovering their lives. The ultimate regenerative medical treatment is stem cells. Stem cell treatments start with extracting your own stem cells from your adipose tissue or bone marrow. Your own stem cells are then injected back into areas of

The main drawback to getting stem cell treatments is the cost. A single treatment may run as high as $40,000 depending on what area is being treated. A more viable treatment option for many people is Platelet Rich Plasma, also known as PRP. Platelets are normally found in your blood and they are well known to control clotting

and bleeding. Platelets also contain growth factors that activate dormant stem cells. A PRP injection treatment starts with drawing a small amount of your blood. Next, the blood is spun in a special centrifuge to separate the red blood cells. The remaining platelets and yellow fluid is called Platelet Rich Plasma. The PRP is then injected into injured joints to activate stem cells and regenerate your body. I have seen both stem cell treatments and PRP treatments result in effective joint healing. To find out which treatment is best for you call my office for an appointment.

NEWS ▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Two students help local tech company gain a competitive edge An Okanagan College professor has been awarded a federal research grant that will help a growing Kelowna gaming company and provide two students valuable experience in Kelowna’s competitive tech market. The two students, Trevor Alstad and Riley Dunkin in the Bachelor of Computer Information Systems program, have already started working on the project. They’re studying ways to monitor and optimize the game services of Kelowna-based technology company WTFast. The two are working under the direction of project supervisor and Okanagan College computer science professor Youry Khmelevsky. The research is being funded through a College and Community Program Innovation grant of $24,990 from Canada’s Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC). It is the first NSERC grant the college has received. “The grant will subsidize the first step in the design, construction and testing of a new layer of game server software, which will take six months,” sa id Khmelevsky. “When technology companies have a bottleneck in service they usually add servers to compensate, but adding extra hardware to the pool is not always optimal because they unnecessarily consume power, human resources and money,” he says. To help solve this problem, Alstad and Dunkin will be studying how to improve performance between gamers’ workstations and WTFast’s game server clusters without adding costly infrastructure. “It’s one thing to learn something in class but another when you have to apply it in a live scenario, and fix problems in real time. It takes what I’ve

learned to a whole other level,”said Alstad. This project is just another example of the college’s commitment to industry-relevant applied learning. “Applied Research and innovation continues to be an important element for students and employees at Okanagan College regularly,” said Andrew Hay, Okanagan College’s vice-president of education. “Whether our students are involved in projects with local companies or our employees gaining external funds to assist with product and business development, Okanagan College is committed to aiding innovation and helping local industry. “This is one of the many ways that the college helps create more career opportunities in the Okanagan,” he says. WTFast chief executive officer Robert Bartlett agrees.“We always seize the opportunity to partner with the college because these projects help us develop local talent, hopefully hire them after graduation, and ultimately build the tech industry in the Okanagan,” Bartlett said. “The resulting software will make it much easier for WTFast’s customers to combine and optimize resources from different providers and will be a great marketing opportunity for both

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

Day in the life of a traffic police officer

To the editor: Re: Letter to the editor: Police Nab Yard Workers at Landfill Bottleneck (July 18 Capital News) The anonymous writer of this letter needs to be educated on what a traffic police officer’s day entails. I am the first police officer that drove up to assist a co-worker who had a truck and dump trailer stopped on an exit lane from the dump. Just so you know, my police emergency lights were on but no siren was on or in use during this whole incident by any police vehicle. The driver of the truck pulling the trailer was initially stopped to advise him his lights to the trailer were not working. The investigating officer, while speaking with this driver, noticed the smell of liquor on his breath. As well it was determined he did not have a valid driver’s licence. The driver became argumentative and verbally abusive with police causing a disturbance and was subsequently arrested. His vehicle was

A bit of public shaming for Kelowna’s bad parkers

or a brief period, when I was a pregnant Barbapapa-like thing, I’d dream of parking right outside the front door of the stores where I needed to make purchases, and waddle to my destination in style—rules be damned. It would have reduced the herculean effort required for the journey to get groceries in the hot days of an Okanagan summer. “Dreamed” is the operative word, though. In reality, I’d park at the farthest stall so nobody would have to suffer through watching me remove myself from a deep-seated Honda Civic at a pace previously not known to man. Thoughtful, I call that. My detractors would call it another symptom of a martyr complex, but that’s neither here nor there. Other than one summer, I’ve never

KATHARTIC

Kathy Michaels had a reason to park like a selfish jerk. Of course, not all people share my love of orderly behaviour. One need only drive through the various parking lots across this city to realize that. If I were to be generous, I’d say there are a significant number of pregnant women driving Lamborghinis, other sports cars and white trucks this time of year, and I feel for them. Real-

ly, I do. When I’m being realistic, which is most of the time, I think, “Man, there are a lot of selfish twits driving around this city.” Then I curse, shake my fist in the air and go about my everyday business

with an elevated heart rate. Potential for a parking related coronary may be the biggest downside of an Okanagan summer, other than forest fires, of course. Luckily, there’s a silver-lining to this tale of woe. I’m not alone in my frustrations and an effort to publicly shame people who park poorly is well underway. On a Facebook page titled S*it Parkers of Kelowna, 1,600-plus people are posting photos of the worst offenders and then offering a verbal flogging. It’s a beautiful place for catharsis. Maybe a bit of vitriol. Definitely home to some colourful language. And, why not? Don’t these words of frustration deserve to be vented somewhere?

LETTERS ▼ DAN ALBAS

MP should learn ins and outs of Parliament

To the editor: In a recent report to constituents, Conservative MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla Dan Albas argues that Parliament (comprised of the Governor General for The Queen, the House of Commons and the Senate) are the supreme power in Canadian democracy and that “unelected judges” have no business in running the democratic process. Mr. Albas is a novice MP with no known background in law or federal politics, other than having :been on the Penticton city tcouncil for a few years. 8 Mr. Albas, by now, should have understood rthat Canadian democracy -consists of three equalely important branches— legislative (Parliament), -executive (government), aand judicial. While Parkliament is well within its nright to pass legislation, its .role is also to oversee and eprovide a balance to the texecutive. y

At present, there is very little such balance since Parliament seems to have been turned into a body which is subservient to the government by virtue of holding a majority. A former Alberta Conservative MP, Brent Rathgeber, has termed the government members as “trained seals”, i.e. they take their orders from the executive branch. The Senate, once envisioned as the house of “sober second thought” has also been stacked with unquestioning unelected supporters of the government, as well as members who seem to have behaved in a very questionable manner. Mr. Albas correctly insinuates that Parliament can, as it does, pass legislation—the House can even override a veto by the Senate. However, legislation from Parliament cannot override the Constitution or the Canadian Char-

ter of Rights and Freedoms—these were not just pieces of legislation, rather they are the fundamental law. Following Mr. Albas’s line of thinking, Parliament could introduce the death penalty, make torture a legal instrument, remove the right to vote from women or minorities, etc. Such legislation would be disallowed in a court challenge by “unelected judges.” One wonders which country Mr. Albas is thinking of—Canada has no elected judges. The government might be well advised to investigate conformance with the Constitution and Charter of any piece of legislation it considers passing. Otherwise it will have to continue spending taxpayers’ money on appeals to court rulings that went against it. Harri Henschler, West Kelowna

Dance Dearth of doctors Ballroom Studio  To the editor: B.C.’s worsening access to dermatology care is leaving this government very close to a breach of the Canada Health Act. The act says: “The primary objective of Canadian health care policy is to protect, promote and restore the physical and mental well-being of residents of Canada and to facilitate reasonable access to health services without financial or other barriers.” In addition to too few dermatologists overall in B.C., there is no dermatologist at all north of Kamloops, where only one 74-year-old dermatologist now practices outside the medical system. This leaves Prince George with no specialist. Last week a 91-yearold woman with painful, debilitating psoriasis over most of her body, had to sit for 11 hours on a bus in order to get treatment. Mary, (not her actual name), was told by her G.P. on June 3 that she needed to see a dermatologist. The earliest appointment she could get was with a Coquitlam dermatologist who would squeeze her in urgently on the July 8, instead of the usual six month wait.

Does this sound like reasonable access? Because of the bus schedule, she had to overnight in a hotel. Mary was fortunate that she has a daughter in Coquitlam who took time off work to pick her up and give her a place to stay. She is a World War II veteran who, quite frankly, expects better. The Health Ministry has all the information that it needs to fix this problem. They remain unwilling to take this ever worsening situation seriously and resolve it. There have been 25 positions advertised over the last three years, with no takers. If you can’t get a dermatologist to move to Kelowna or Victoria, you’ve got to know you’re doing something wrong. With a looming deadline for the province to reach a new agreement with the BC Medical Association, who set fees for doctors in B.C., the Premier needs to show some leadership on this issue.

Isn’t public shaming a tried and true way to rehabilitate errant behaviour? Take a look at an offender in the photo I pulled off the site this morning. These are clearly people in need of a bit of rehabilitation. And, the admins of the site would agree. Through a series of fiery expletives, they explain exactly why breaking the so1cial mores associated with

parking can be a problem for everyone. I tried to figure out some way to translate the message into newspaper appropriate speech, but failed. Instead, I will offer some loose guidelines for those who may not know what constitutes a “s*it parker” and wish you all “happy parking.” • Taking up two or more spaces • Using a handicap space without a permit • Parking facing the

wrong way on a street • Parking sideways in a lot for straight ahead parking • Straddling two parking meters • Parking in a fire lane • Using a no-parking zone to go into a coffee shop • Parking too close to adjacent vehicle.

Fresh flavours and familiar faces at farmers’ market

Cindy Bossio CONTRIBUTOR

There is nothing like fresh picked corn with kernels so crisp, or the smell of vine-ripened tomatoes, harvested at their peak and purchased from

a local farmers’ market. With more than 125 farmers’ markets spread across British Columbia, chances are there is one near you. Items available at the market change with the growing season. Buy your

favourite foods each week but try something new too. If your local market is like my favourite one, there are often free samples, so you can try before you buy. Try preparing your

veggies in different ways such as on the grill, pureed in a soup, or blended in a smoothie. The options are endless. Fresh herbs are also a great find to add to your favourite recipe. Markets are as different as the communities they serve. Some are festive events with artists, musicians, and a huge variety of fresh produce and locally made products. Others might feature a few stalls with one farmer supplying most of the produce. Besides providing an abundance of locally grown vegetables and fruit to help keep you healthy, markets also contribute to the health of the community. They are a great place to socialize, enjoy the fresh air, listen to some music, and meet the farmer that grows your food. Local farms employ local people—when you

buy from a producer in your area, you support the local economy. This summer check out the markets in your area. Visiting a market makes a great outing for kids, seniors or out of town guests. Some communities even offer free public transportation to the market. Don’t forget to bring bags and a cooler for the trip home! Are you wondering where to find the closest market, what is in season, or if your market offers the Nutrition Coupon Program? Perhaps you need a recipe? Check out the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets’ website at bcfarmersmarket.org/ before you head off to the market. Maybe I will see you at a market this summer!

NEWS

Bed bug activity in the Okanagan appears to be increasing Charles Miller CONTRIBUTOR

A recent television news report cited a research survey of Canada

health inspector had indicated bed bug complaints are up from 20 to 50 per cent in the last three years. The Okanagan is also seeing an increase in bed

bug activity in recent months. As a licensed pest control technician and owner of Bed Bugs Only and GoPro Pest Control, I re-

ceive a number of calls weekly from across the Okanagan Valley enquiring about how to deal with bed bugs. Most people imagine

Some choices are hard.

they will never have an experience with bed bugs, and are horrified when they find they are being bitten while they sleep in their own home.

Bed bugs are very resilient and hard to eliminate. As they can’t fly, they spread from location to location by “hitching rides” on clothing, purses and luggage. Then they walk from room to room in your house or apartment and establish themselves in and on your mattresses and bedding, furniture, cracks in walls, behind baseboard moldings and even electronics. Bedbugs are very small and move quickly for their size, zipping across a bedroom carpet at about a metre a minute. During the day, they hide. They search out the piping and creases of mattresses, the tufted pleats, between the mattress and the boxspring, in the bedside table or other nearby furniture, alarm clock, in books and headboards, and even behind the art hanging on the wall. At night (their favourite time is between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m.) when you are fast asleep, they come out for a meal. Bedbugs like to dine every seven days, but they can go without feeding for up to a year. Bedbugs hone in on their target by your body heat and the carbon dioxide that you breath out. They don’t like to hang out in your hair or on your body like lice do. They prefer to stay snuggled in your clothes—so you won’t feel them crawling around your skin. As you sleep cozy under the comforter, they will drive their spiky nose into your skin, secrete a mild anesthetic to take away the sting and have a tasty meal at your expense. Depending on the infestation, a person can have as many as 500 or more bed bugs on them at one time feeding, and they won’t know it until they wake up and see the effects in the mirror. Although bed bugs bite humans, the B.C. Ministry of Health and Health Canada have not traditionally classified bed bug infestations as a pub-

lic health concern because the bugs have not been known to transfer disease. The health risk primarily comes from secondary infection and scarring. Getting rid of them can also be stressful. The best way to manage a bed bug infestation is to prevent it from taking hold and getting out of hand. Below are some tips to help you deal with bed bugs: • When you become aware of bed bugs in your home, it’s time to go through all your belongings and get rid of your clutter. Cluttered conditions can offer the bed bugs a lot of excellent hiding places very near their human blood-meal hosts. Do not forget to put the items you are getting rid of, in sealed plastic bags or wrapped in plastic so you are not dropping and spreading the bugs, as you discard them. Thoroughly de-clutter, clean and vacuum all areas (bedding, couches, bed frames etc.) where you have been bitten by bed bugs • When removing sheets always carefully roll them off instead of pulling or yanking them off. Pulling causes the removal of any eggs and bed bugs attached to them. Vacuum up any visible bed bugs and eggs. Always put clean white or light coloured sheets on the bed. Light colours make them easier to see • Wash all bedding and clothes in the hottest water possible (at least 120 F). Use a hot tumble drier at the hottest setting possible. Research has shown bed bugs can possibly live through the washing but the hot dryer will kill them. Thermal remediation-heat treatment is the most effective solution to eradicate bed bugs and their eggs—an environmentally-friendly process with no pesticides. One treatment is all it takes to kill all phases of bed bugs—from egg to nymph to adult. For more see BedBugsOnly.ca.

Some are easy.

ENTERTAINMENT Entertainment IN THE LOOP CONCERT

A Neil Diamond tribute concert will be hosted by the Kelowna branch of the Army Navy Airforce Veterans Club on Saturday, 8 p.m., at 270 Dougall Rd. North, in Rutland. For tickets call 250765-1810 or check out the website www.Legion. solitaryman.ca, with partial proceeds from the show to benefit the Legion. Joey Purpura has lived and breathed Neil Diamond since 2004, travelled across the country and parts of the Caribbean with his tribute show Diamond in the Rough. “I’ve always been able to do voices, as long as I could remember,” said the 39-year-old. “When I found out I could do a pretty good Neil Diamond, my friends encouraged me to go on stage.” The singer wasn’t on Purpura’s radar growing up and so he really started from the ground up. In 2002, the Toronto-based impersonator

began researching the singer’s life, studying his every move, song and story behind the music. He found a Las Vegasbased designer able to replicate Diamond’s glittery costumes of the mid70s. “I wanted to research his life because I not only sing his songs, I tell a story and highlight his life just to make it more interesting,” said Purpura.

THEATRE

What do a bordello owner, crooked politician, gossip columnist, eccentric vintner, wealthy hotelier, a “fixer,” a femme fatale, a soccer mom with a gambling problem, gypsy drug dealer and snack bar worker all have in common? It spells trouble in Kelowna— there is a little black book, blackmail, shady pasts, luxurious hotels and mysterious strangers. And then, there is the high profile campaign for office that is marred by innuendo and just what

is going on down by the lake late at night? All these storyline scenarios unfold in an improvised comedy soap opera set in Kelowna called Summer & Soaps, presented by the New Vintage Theatre group. The first episode is July 27 and the follow-up episode will be Aug. 10, both shows presented at the Black Box Theatre in Kelowna, 7:30 p.m. Buy tickets in advance at www.selectyourtickets. com or cash only ($15) at the door on performance nights.

THEATRE

Kelowna Actors Studio is currently presenting the Broadway musical classic Fiddler On The Roof until Aug. 2. Based on the tales by Shalom Aleichem and set in Tzarist Russia in 1905, this touching musical tells the story of Tevye, a poor milkman, who must weigh his family’s happiness against the traditions that have preserved a way of life in his village for centuries. His eldest daughters want to marry for love rather than an auspicious match, and outside political forces threaten everything he holds dear. Karlisa Hiebert makes her directing debut with Kelowna Actors Studio says of the play: “Fiddler on the Roof is timeless. But more importantly is universal. It is about

The story transcends the bounds of the Jewish faith and culture. The conflict between the generations, the struggle between different cultures, the power and strength of love, these are universal themes.” Tickets are available through the Box Office (250-862-2867), open Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., or online at KelownaActorsStudio.com. Performances for dinner and show only are Wednesday through Sunday, 8 p.m. (with dinner at 6:30 p.m.) and a Saturday matinee at 1 p.m.

THE BUG GUYS

Kids for Inquiry is a fun and educational science group for kids ages seven to 12.

Their extra special summer event, “The Bug Guys (And Reptiles Too!),” takes place at 2 p.m., Saturday, at the Rotary Centre for the Arts in Kelowna, 421 Cawston Ave. Stuart Brown, “The Bug Guy,” will give a presentation about some of the world’s most misunderstood creatures: insects, arachnids and reptiles. Brown has always loved almost anything creepy crawly and could never understand why so many people hate them, until he realized it was simply because they never really got to know them properly. In the presentation, Brown introduces his audience to his private collection and pets, and

enjoy hands on experiences with some of his very friendly lizards and snakes. Learn about each species’ relationship with other animals, the natural history and behaviour of the species and their role in the pet trade, as well as the care of the animals and whether they make good pets or not. Brown’s main goal of every presentation is to put myths about these wonderful animals to rest and hopefully to dispel a few phobias, so the animals can be better appreciated. Space is very limited, so to avoid disappointment it’s recommended that you get tickets in advance. Tickets are free, with a suggested $5 donation per child, at kfibug-

In the event of inclement weather, the concert will be performed in the 180-seat NATC theatre in Vernon. The Royal Canadian Artillery (RCA) Band has a long tradition of providing musical support to the Canadian Armed Forces. They have been based in Edmonton since 1997, but their existence can be traced back to the end of the 19th century. It is one of six Regular Force bands stationed throughout Canada, with a complement of 35 fulltime musicians.

NEWS ▼ FUNDRAISER

From brownies and Bundt cakes to running water in India It was the case of two opposites: The decadence of dessert and a village in India with no clean water. For a group of students from UBC Okanagan, the idea of desserts—all rich and creamy and gooey— was the perfect way to raise money to build a well for that village of 250 residents. Third-year sociology student and student residence advisor Raman Rajwan, loves to bake and wanted to find a purpose for all that good food. “One of the major social issues in our world is the lack of clean drinking water,” says Rajwan. “I really wanted to motivate my residents to be the change in the world and I wanted to put my passion of making cupcakes to good use.” During the academic year, there are about 1,700 resident students at UBC Okanagan and residence life manager Ned Gallagher says advisors work to iron out wrinkles of student life and to enrich their experience living on campus. “There are lots of as-

pects to residence life including engaging students during those first few weeks of transition to university life, and initiatives surrounding diversity, mental health, academics, and community engagement,” says Gallagher. “This year, it was the well in India.” Rajwan worked with a group to organize the fund-raiser dessert buffet. Students planned the event, sold tickets, and

made more than 50 desserts like KitKat-Nutella cakes and pink lemonade cupcakes, raising $950 at the February event. Now they can see the fruits of their labour. Gallagher says the money was presented to Sopar International, a non-profit, non-government organization that works to support development in India’s poor communities.

WOMEN and children in the village of Jangala Kottalu are used to carrying water to their part of the village. Now, thanks to the dessert buffet organized by students in UBCO’s Residence Association they have fresh water from a new well. CONTRIBUTED

Pradesh, was opened this spring. “We have nine residence buildings and a

multitude of units and we try to engage the students as much as possible,” Gallagher says. “The dessert

buffet is the perfect example of everything coming together with a positive outcome for those

involved and the end result of a working well in India.”

Year-long wait over for Sun’sTurek Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

It would be safe to assume no single player on the Okanagan Sun will be more grateful to be back on the football field this weekend than Jamie Turek. One year ago, on the first play of the 2013 B.C. Football Conference campaign at the Apple Bowl, the 20-year-old defensive back suffered a devastating injury to his left knee. With tears to his ACL and MCL, Turek spent the entire season and ensuing off-season in arduous rehabilitation. On Saturday night in Chilliwack, the 5-foot-11, 185-pound Winnipeg native will make his official return when the Sun takes on the Valley Huskers in the season opener. “I’m super excited, I couldn’t be more excited to get out there and play,” said Turek, who had surgery on the knee in October. “It’s been a very long off-season and a lot of work has gone into getting back. I’m still going to be a bit nervous, but once I get that first hit in and get a feel for the game, hope-

fully I’ll be right back where I was.” Sun head coach Shane Beatty is happy for both Turek and the football club. “It was a tough thing for him going down on the first play last year,” said Beatty. “He’s just been flying around out there. He’s a great kid and player, and it’s nice to see him back.” Turek is part of what Beatty and the Sun staff consider the deepest area of the ball club, with no fewer than eight players capable of starting this summer in the defensive secondary. And with several key additions to both the linebacking corps and defensive line, Beatty says there should be few noticeable weaknesses on the defensive side of the ball. “We’ve added a lot of guys to compliment the players we have, so there’s really good depth and talent on defence,” Beatty said. “Our defence this year is going to be fast and physical.” An exhaustive search for recruits in the off-season yielded some positive results for Beatty and

the Sun, as close to 30 newcomers are expected to play key roles with the junior club this year. Beatty said the likes of Dexter Janke (safety), Ron Mwamba (linebacker), Cliff Crews (centre), Jean Ventose (DB), Liam

Wishart (receiver), Kory Nagata (running back), Oleks Bobrovskyy (linebacker) and Connor Novak (offensive line) are all potential game-changers for the Sun. On offense, Beatty said the Sun is still rela-

tively young but will be led into battle this season by third-year quarterback Cam Bedore and a skilled, fast corps of receivers. Bedore will get the call to start Saturday in Chilliwack, with rookie Josiah Joseph and re-

turning veteran Matt Calderwood waiting in the wings. “Cam will be the guy right now,” said Beatty. “He has the experience, he’s very mobile and has a strong arm. He’s been looking pretty good.”

As far as special teams are concerned, Beatty said the kick coverage and return units could be the most improved areas of the ball club. “Our special teams were OK last year, but this year they’re noticeably better,” he said. “We have good special teams guys that won’t even travel to Chilliwack (40-player roster). We’ve added so much depth there, we’re going to be a lot better.” As for Saturday night’s opener against the Huskers, one of the BCFC’s weaker teams, Beatty wants to see sound, smart, fundamental football from his club. “I just want to see us execute our game plan,” Beatty said. “We haven’t seen them play yet, so I just want to see us execute and really limit our mental mistakes.” Kick off Saturday night in Chilliwack is 7 p.m. The Sun’s home opener is Saturday, Aug. 9 against the Vancouver Island Raiders. whenderson @kelownacapnews.com

Falcons end long road trip hosting Yakima Friday night After their longest road trip of the season, the Kelowna Falcons return to the friendly surroundings of Elks Stadium this weekend for West Coast League action. On Friday night, the Falcons will open a three-game series against the division rival Yakima Valley Pippins. First pitch is 6:35 p.m. The game has been designated Capital News night. Kelowna will then host Kitsap in a three-game set beginning Tuesday, July 29. After a difficult first half of the

2014 campaign, the Falcons have been showing signs of turning their season in a better direction. Heading into Thursday night’s action in Wenatchee, the Falcons (1325) had won five of their last seven games. In the victories, Kelowna scored 46 runs, including 17 on Tuesday night against the Apple Sox. Between an onslaught of injuries and players leaving the team, it’s been a challenge for head coach Billy Clontz to field a consistent lineup on a

regular basis. But now that the dust has pretty much settled, with 26 players currently on the roster, GM Mark Nonis said the Falcons are beginning to play like a cohesive and relaxed ball club. “We’re down to a skeleton crew now, these guys are just heading to the ball park and going into each game loose and ready to play,” said Nonis. “The guys are relaxed, they’re playing without pressure and just enjoying it. The guys are playing better baseball and the wins are coming.”

The Falcons are hoping Canadian-born infielder Kevin Biro will return to the lineup this weekend. The UBC Thunderbird and Deep Bay native has been sidelined since July 17 with a hamstring injury. Starting with Friday’s date against Yakima, the Falcons have 15 games remaining in the season, including 12 of those at home. Kelowna will wrap up the season at Elks Sunday, Aug. 10 against the Walla Walla Sweets.

A’s host Cannons in PBL playoff matchup Warren Henderson

“Minimize our mistakes, take care of the ball, don’t walk guys…all the things you need to do to win. “This isn’t the majors, it’s high school and mistakes are going to be made. It’s all pretty unpredictable, so it’s a matter of taking care of the little things that you hope will make the difference.” Right-hander Matt Brodt (5-5) will take to the hill for the A’s in Game 1, while Jared Young (6-3) gets the ball in Game 2.

STAFF REPORTER

A 28-win regular season and a fourth-place finish exceeded head coach Evan Bailey’s expectations of his Okanagan Athletics in 2014. The reward comes this weekend when the A’s host the Vancouver Cannons in the opening round of the B.C. Premier Baseball League playoffs. The best-of-three series kicks off Saturday at 1 p.m. at Elks Stadium, with Games 2 and 3, if necessary, set for Sunday. Because pretty much anything can happen in a short series, Bailey said his club needs to be ready to play smart and sound fundamental baseball. “We know what we need to do,” said Bailey.

Playoffs are about who can get hot at the right time and getting momentum. Our guys know their roles and what we expect of each of them.” The Athletics didn’t finish the regular season on a high, losing five of their last six games. Still, because all were on the road in a span of five days—including four of those on Vancouver Island—Bailey isn’t sounding any alarm bells. “We accept we had a rough end to the season, we weren’t happy with that but at the same time

Ogopogos club members second at Salmon Arm meet Seventy members of the Ogopogo summer swim club turned in a strong performance at the Salmon Arm swim meet held recently. A total of seven top point aggregate medals, one meet record, and countless best times helped the team swim to a second place finish behind the host team. Noah Broadrip led the way claiming the gold aggregate for division seven

boys. Fellow division seven swimmer Patrick Epman added to the medal count by claiming the silver aggregate. Joining Epman in the silver medal haul was division three swimmer Rachel McInnes. McInnes showed a lot of determination swimming to an impressive five best times and two first place finishes, knocking nearly 10 seconds off.

Joining McInnes on the silver podium was division six swimmer Emalie Schueler. Schueler along with McInnes, helped the Ogopogo’s claim first place on the girls side finishing with a total of 1,952 points. On the boy’s side, Alex Sewell claimed the division six bronze, adding to his silver aggregate won last weekend along with team mate Logan Lalonde, who claimed the

silver for division five. In division four Makenna Haight swam hard and landed herself an overall third place victory. Haight teamed up with division four swimmers Marli Gallagher, Michelle Kraetzer, and Rachel Schueler to break the Club’s 200m medley relay meet record. Gallagher, Schueler and Haight, alongside Kennedy Dickie teamed up last weekend

in Abbotsford to break the 200m freestyle relay Ogo Club record of 2:10.49. Rounding off the medal count was division six swimmer Josh Campbell, who swam to his first ever aggregate finishing with a silver medal. Josh helped the team by swimming to 100 per cent best times and took an impressive 10 seconds off his 200m individual medley time and five seconds off his 100m butterfly.

times were: Isis DaRosa, Gracie Huber, Braelyn Cutforth, Jessica Mervyn, Bella Galloway and Andrea Kraetzer. Head coach Emilia Obedkoff was very impressed with the team’s performance. “The swimmers are just coming off two intense weeks of training-they are physically drained but it didn’t show in the pool this weekend.”

Post season matches begin for recreational golf league The signature 18th on the Okanagan Golf Cub’s Quail course reared its teeth on the opening night of match-play playoffs Monday as the top 64 players in the recreation-

al golf league the Molson Tour began post season matches. The water guarding the raised 18th green at the Quail claimed numerous victims as the match-

es made their way around the course. Defending champion Tim Jex was knocked out by a rather inconsiderate up and comer by the name of Dale Olson.

Molson Tour co-founders Jay Heer and Rick Jaenicke were also bounced out of the playoffs by Jeff McCrae and Shane Cutinha respectively while long-time play-

ing partners Gary Higgs and Jan Mortensen drew each other in the first round, with Mortensen coming out on top. Among the notable shots on Monday was a

rare triple-win in the closest to the pin department as Ward Pateman won three out of four KP’s en route to winning his match. Thirty-two players

now remain in the chase for the Molson Tour title with the next round of matches up next Monday.

Another Argyle player coming to UBCO UBCO Heat women’s basketball coach Heather Semeniuk has once again dipped into the Argyle Secondary talent pool, with the signing of Pipers’ centre Robyn AulinHaynes. Last year it was rookie sensation Claire Elliott out of Argyle who made a big impact on UBCO’s improvement in Canada West. Going into this 2014-15 season the team’s lone fifth year player, Angela White, is also from North Vancouver. Always ahead of the curve, Aulin-Haynes has competed on her school’s senior team since Grade 9 and even though she sat out this past season with an ACL injury, she still acted as team captain and was an integral part of the team dynamic. “From a young age I was always playing with older girls,” Aulin-Haynes said of her upbringing. “I was on the senior team for basketball at Argyle in

grade nine, and after some time I was able to adjust to the pace and strength of the game.” She is confident that her experiences in the past will serve her well when transitioning to the university game. “I know University will be a big jump but I am confident that I will be able to adjust and improve my game so that I can keep up with the quicker pace.” A multiple time North Shore first team all-star with strong offensive skills, she calls herself an unselfish player with a pass-first mentality and prides herself on her court awareness and basketball IQ. At 6-foot-1, she will join the young cast of post players to add much needed depth to their frontcourt, which often has struggled against the bigger Canada West schools. “I like to think (that) I am not a selfish player,” she said of her on-court tendencies. “If someone has a better opportunity of scoring than I do, I happily hand them the ball. I have a good game brain

ARGYLE grad Robyn Aulin-Haynes will join the UBC Okanagan women’s basketball team this season. and read the game well.” Other than her time spent in Pipers uniform, Aulin-Haynes played with 3D Basketball Academy, who also coached former Argyle teammate and now Heat teammate Elliott. She and Elliott have been teammates and friends since fifth grade.

Coach Semeniuk is confident in AulinHaynes’ ability to bounce back from her injury and make an impact down low right away. “Robyn is a true post player with strong basketball IQ,” Semeniuk said of her recruit. “Her size and ability to rebound

and finish shots around the hoop will add greatly to our inside game. She is a competitor with a long list of successes as a high school player.” Aulin-Haynes will be entering a B.A. program in psychology, after which she has aspirations for law. “Academically, UBC Okanagan is a fantastic school,” she said. “It was a difficult choice but UBC Okanagan’s reputation in academics made my decision a lot easier to elect to continue my education and my athletic career here.” Aulin-Haynes is the first post to sign with Heather Semeniuk’s Heat squad for the fast approaching season. The Heat will open its conference season at home on Nov. 7 against Fraser Valley at UBC’s Okanagan Gymnasium for their Canada West regular season opener, while preseason starts Oct. 4 in Langley versus Trinity Western for the Heat.

Have fun safely boating on Okanagan Lake

Batter up in support of Children’s Hospital

Stuart Cook CONTRIBUTOR

The Pleasure Craft Operators Card (PCOC) gets you out on the water and the Power Squadron gets you back. As that sentence indicates, it’s important to have as much knowledge as possible when out on the water. With the boating season well under way and a mid-summer long weekend almost upon us it’s a great time to review some basic safety precautions before heading out with family and friends. Number one priority is to make sure you have age appropriate life jackets for everyone on board. There are many choices based on what you doing out on the water so make sure to do the research and get the right one. And don’t forget to include the family pooch. Check out the website tc.gc.ca for more information. The list of do’s and

don’ts is long, and to some a bit daunting, but a bit of time spent before heading out can go a long way to ensuring the day goes smoothly. I have taken a few tips from the old boat safety manual that was printed by Transport Canada. It is only available online now atboatingsafety.gc.ca if you don’t have one of the previous printed copies. Here are a few things to make sure your day goes well. See that your boat is in good shape and all the mechanical bits are working as they are supposed to. This sounds like a no-brainer but there is no point in heading out if any of the gauges for the engine don’t work, especially the gas gauge. The rule for the latter

Depending on the length of your craft, you are required by law to have a fire extinguisher or two on board and it has to be the right type. The list shows what you are required to have beyond just the fire extinguisher so double check your inventory of safety items.

Please note that the Canadian Power Squadron volunteers are conducting a voluntary safety check on Aug 16 at the Kelowna Yacht Club. Boaters who participate get a compliance sticker which will go a long way to ensuring they will have no problems with the authorities out on the water.

Softball fans, families and supporters are invited to take part in the annual Bats for a Cause tournament this weekend at the Kinsmen Mission sportsfield. With great food, a beer garden and on-site DJ providing musical entertainment, the public is welcome to come cheer on their favourite team, all in support of BC Children’s Hospital. The slo-pitch tournament is presented by the Kelowna Adult Softball Association and title sponsor Prospera Credit Union together with the media sponsor, Bell Media’s EZ Rock 101.5. Last year, the tournament attracted 14 teams and raised $47,811.31 for BC Children’s Hospital Foundation. “As a tournament organizer, the exciting part this year is that we’re closing in on a six year fundraising total of more than $200,000,” said Angela McLean, regional manager for Prospera Credit Union and cofounder of the tournament. “That this started out as just a little ball tournament and it is now making a significant difference for so many children in the Okanagan who need the services of BC Children’s Hospital is just phenomenal. The community has really embraced the tournament and we’re so thankful for their support.” “Ever since we opened Prospera’s first Okanagan branch in 2003, we’ve been inspired by the sense of community that exists in the region,” added Bruce Howell, president and CEO of Prospera Credit Union. “Friends and neighbours coming together to raise money and awareness for programs that really benefit the community, that’s what we call ‘making a meaningful difference.’ We’re thankful to local groups like the Kelowna Sunrise Rotary who continue to support this event year after year.”

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

wrist and pain during certain activities such as shaking hands, turning a doorknob, or holding certain objects, such as a coffee cup. The condition can also cause forearm weakness. The pain of tennis elbow is similar to golfer’s elbow, but golfer’s elbow occurs on the inside—rather than on the outside—of the elbow. Tennis elbow is caused by repeated contraction of the forearm muscles that are used to straighten and raise your hand and wrist—such as with the backhand stroke when playing tennis. However, there are many other common causes of tennis elbow, including using plumbing tools, playing other racket sports, painting, raking and weaving. The repeated motions and stress to the tissue may result in inflammation or a series of tiny tears in the tendons that attach the forearm muscles to the bone at the outside of your elbow. Generally, rest is the best medicine for tennis elbow. But tennis elbow that has not been allowed

to heal properly can lead to chronic pain. Using your arm too strenuously before it has properly healed can cause further damage or prevent proper healing. Analyzing what motions are causing the problem can help you to change your habits to reduce stress on the elbow. Exercises to stretch and strengthen the muscles of the forearm can also help recovery and prevent re-injury. Acupuncture can be a great option for dealing with tennis elbow and promoting proper healing. In Chinese medicine, almost every musculo-skeletal disorder has some relevant underlying imbalance or contributing lifestyle factor. Understanding a person’s general health gives an acupuncturist insight into the internal imbalances that can contribute to injury. Lifestyle can play a role, whether it be our occupation, the exercise or sports we choose, or our nutrition and diet. Chinese medicine also considers the role of emotion and thought in health, as they can be either the cause or the symptom of an internal balance. With tennis elbow, and all types of musculo-skeletal injuries, pain is caused by stagnation of qi-energy and blood. Acupuncture treatment focuses on remov-

ing the blockage and helping the energy and blood to flow again in order to remove pain and resolve the symptoms of an injury such as tennis elbow. In addition, we look at what underlying factors have influenced health and weakened the elbow or made it vulnerable to injury. These causes can be external (such as exposure to the elements or an external trauma or blow to the area) or internal (caused by an imbalance in the body’s normal functioning due to our genetics or our lifestyle). By also treating these underlying factors, we are actually strengthening the injured area and improving health, with the goal of preventing future reoccurrence. In this way, acupuncture not only relieves symptoms, but goes further to address the heart of the problem, unlike other treatments such as medications, which serve only to relieve symptoms. Acupuncture shows us that the pain of tennis elbow doesn’t have to keep you from enjoying your favourite activities.

Tourism leaders from across the Thompson Okanagan will gather at Penticton in October to give a major boost to their $1.7-billion industry—learning about best practices, hearing leading international and national speakers and reviewing progress on implementing their 10-year tourism strategy designed to improve the region’s standing as a world-class visitor destination. Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association board chair Michael J. Ballingall said the 5th annual 2014 Tourism Industry Summit takes place Oct. 27 to 29 at the Penticton Lakeside Resort, Convention Centre & Casino. TOTA president and chief executive officer Glenn Mandziuk said this year’s summit’s theme—The Places We Grow—will build on the momentum of the tourism strategy and current growth in the development of destinations, tourism products, key relationships, and routes-and-corridors. Previous summits have attracted close to 200 tourism leaders from communities throughout the Thompson Okanagan. The participants have heard inspiring speeches by leaders in tourism development from around the world and across Canada, and have taken part in workshops on best practices in many aspects of the industry relevant to this region. “The summit gives us the chance to promote excellence and closer partnerships among all tourism stakeholders in our region as we plan how to develop our tourism destinations and tell people around the world about the exciting and memorable travel experiences they can have here,” Mandziuk said. He urged all Thompson Okanagan tourism stakeholders to note the summit date on their calendars and to register. Stakeholders should watch for more details and registration information to be released in the near future. TOTA represents more than 3,500 tourism industry stakeholders across the Thompson Okanagan. It coordinates seasonal marketing campaigns, helps to arrange travel-media coverage worth millions of dollars each year, promotes stakeholder awareness of industry best practices, works with the provincial and local governments on industry planning, helps local tourism stakeholders benefit from provincial tourism development programs, and provides information to stakeholders, travel media, visitors, and tour operators through its website totabc.org.

Possibilities for where tourists can spend their money sT

oday’s column is for tourists and not for locals or regular HodgePodge readers. - Please pass this tover to a friendly yet frustrated tourist near ryou who is obviously wondering what to do or where to go. d I have always liked to tell tourists where to go and how to get there. Today’s column is also about a month &late, but I forgive myself. Dear Tourist: Welcome to Kelowna in the heart of the magical Okanagan Valley. Here -are a few local quirks you should be faware of before a list of my favourite dplaces to go, see, do, or eat. First, Kelowna folks are a finicky bunch at the best of times. (Finicky is -my polite term for ‘arrogant, spoiled, pompous, self-absorbed…’) m ‘Kelownians’ are never fully satisnfied—no matter the situation. Their biggest complaints are about the weather and tourists. (Local definition for tourist: A resident of Kelowna for less than 15 years).

Weather-wise, we bitch when it is too hot, we bitch when it’s too cold, too wet, too windy, too stuffy… Tourist-wise, we complain when there Charlie are not enough visitors Hodge and then complain even louder when they finally arrive. We have a useless HOV lane system running through Kelowna on Highway 97. Locals totally ignore this law but we fully expect tourists to obey it. (We will honk and show you various body parts as we roar by if you do not do as you are told). If you are lost or simply have a tourist-related question, do not ask someone at the beach or the table next to you in the restaurant. They are tourists. (Locals hide in their yards or secret pub from July 1 to Sept. 5.) So then, here are a smattering of thoughts and tips I would like to pass on: The Best thing about Kelowna is probably taking a casual stroll along the waterfront from City Park near the bridge to the Delta Grand Hotel, or

walking The Greenway. I suggest you reserve the walks for mornings or afternoons as the heat of the day can be hard on you, family members or pets. The worst thing about Kelowna is parking meters and the generally rude ticket attendants downtown. The machines and meters both have many flaws and fail to take several coins.

VISITORS take in the stunning views of the Grand Canyon along the Rim Trail.

Development plans called a major threat to Grand Canyon Julie Cart CONTRIBUTOR

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz.—At the rim of the Grand Canyon, busloads of Chinese tourists jostled on a recent day with 20-something backpackers and an Amish family with rambunctious boys in suspenders and straw hats, all eager for a prime viewing spot. They gazed out on a dizzying sight of receding canyons and sheer rock walls, with the Colorado River cutting through the canyon floor a mile down. Generations of park managers have tried to preserve that natural vista, but officials here say a

proposed development would alter the view. Looking eastward from the canyon’s popular South Rim, visitors could soon see a hive of construction as workers build restaurants, hotels and shops on a distant mesa on the Navajo Indian reservation. The developers also plan a gondola ride from those attractions to whisk tourists to the canyon floor, where they would stroll along an elevated riverside walkway to a restaurant at the confluence of the Colorado and Little Colorado rivers. That project and a second, unrelated development proposed for just south of the canyon have set off alarms at the National Park Service, which sees them as the most serious threat the park has faced in its 95-year history.

The first would alter the natural beauty of the canyon and encroach on its borders. The second, a major housing and commercial development, jeopardizes the fragile ecology and water supply on the arid South Rim plateau. The Tusayan development would add 2,200 homes and 3 million square feet of commercial space to a town two blocks long. Park officials say existing development around the park and the scarcity of water have already stressed the park’s ability to handle visitors. The new projects would only make matters worse. “They are serious threats to the future of the park,” said park Superintendent Dave Uberuaga. “When you have that size and scope of potential

development that close to the park, it will impact our visitor experience.” The Grand Canyon affords once-in-a-lifetime views, but it has always been difficult for anyone except seasoned hikers to reach the canyon floor. Most of the 5 million annual visitors stop at the rim, look out and move on without ever venturing into the canyon. Native American tribes are changing that. Grand Canyon West, on Hualapai land, operates the Skywalk attraction, a popular glass walkway that juts out over the canyon. Since 2007, the tribe has offered helicopter tours that land on tribal property next to the river.

Delivering an experience of a lifetime every time.

Grand Canyon A28 The proposed Grand Canyon Escalade gondola would afford a rare opportunity for tourists to reach the canyon floor, said developer R. Lamar Whitmer, who is working with the Navajo. The park service offers nothing more than “a drive-by wilderness experience,” Whitmer said. “The average person can’t ride a mule to the bottom of the canyon. We want them to feel the canyon from the bottom.” It’s at the bottom that the conflict lies, as the Navajo contend that they have rights to property above the high-water mark of the rivers. Park officials say the Navajo are mistaken. Federal jurisdiction extends a quarter-mile on either side of the Colorado, the park says, and no development can occur any closer to the water. For now, the park is waiting for the tribe to complete its planning process before providing an official response. The project requires approval of the Navajo tribal government—and some within the tribe have voiced objections, particularly about the gondola’s terminus near the confluence of the rivers. Tribal opponents believe the two rivers represent male and female, and where they meet is where life begins. “That’s where our spirits go back to,” said Renae Yellowhorse of the group Save the Confluence. “My father passed away last March. That’s where he resides. If there is a development there, where are our prayers going to go?” Two miles from the Grand Canyon’s front entrance is a project that park officials say is a more fundamental threat because they expect it to diminish the small amount of water found naturally on the arid Colorado Plateau. The park’s main gateway community of Tusayan has approved plans for a development that would increase the town’s demand for water fourfold. But the plans do not

THE Colorado River is the sculptor of the Grand Canyon. say where the water will come from. With Arizona suffering through its worst drought in 110 years of records, the park service says there isn’t enough water to sustain both wildlife and the new development. “That kind of water just isn’t around there,” said Uberuaga. Yet the city continues “to pursue a full buildout and full development at whatever pace the developer wants.” Water is already so precious that the park’s resident elk herd recently figured out how to operate the Grand Canyon’s new water faucets and began serving themselves. The situation remained an amusing photo op until a young elk pair began to vigorously de-

fend the water fountain, chasing away tourists. The park currently imports all water for its South Rim hotels, restaurants and amenities from springs on the north side of the canyon. An antiquated aluminum pipeline threads 13 miles though the serpentine fissures on the canyon floor, then up a mile of sheer rock on the South Rim. The pipeline regularly breaks down, requiring helicopters and burros to ferry crews at a minimum cost of $25,000 per service call. The park would like to replace the water system, but the price tag—as much as $150 million—is more than twice the yearly construction budget for all 400 parks in the Na-

tional Park Service system. Tusayan developer Tom De Paolo and partners in Stilo Development Group, backed by Italian investors, have been trying to build at the Grand Canyon since 1991, when they began systematically acquiring private land within nearby Kaibab National Forest to site the development. Thwarted for more than 20 years by a number of issues, including lack of water, the developers led campaigns to incorporate Tusayan as a city, giving it control of development within its boundaries, and to elect city officials who either work for the developer or a partner. The town has the right to take water from the pla-

Grand Canyon A29 preclude an option that is available to us when we don’t have to?” he said. Park officials are trying to persuade Tusayan to downsize its plans. And they intend to urge the U.S. Forest Service to carefully review a road easement across two miles of Kaibab Nation-

al Forest to the site of the proposed development. To Dave Nimkin of the National Parks Conservation Association, the developments represent “profound and enormous threats to the park. It’s a grim forecast.” Water is already a precious commodity. The park has a stash of 13 million gallons in stor-

age tanks on the South Rim, about an 18-day supply. And half of that must be kept in reserve for fire protection. When water in the tanks drops to half of capacity, said Tim Jarrell, the park’s chief of maintenance, “we start to think about cutting back on the number of people we let in the park.”

Hemi is the right choice. Power was always there to pass and pull up a hill and the fuel economy can be good if the driver watches their speed. The V8 has the ability to switch off four of the eight cylinders when the truck is under light load and accessing this as often as possible makes a big difference. Another thing to consider is price: the Durango is not inexpensive, starting at $39,995 for the V6 and running up to $52,495 for the top Citadel V8. My family loved spending time in the Durango, we all had a lot of space and the trip was effortless. Our next adventure is to Portland, Oregon in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. I can’t wait to see how that new truck compares. The Lowdown Power: 3.6L V6 with 290hp or 5.7L V8 with 360hp Fill-up: 15.6L/9.1L/100km (city/highway V8) Sticker price: $39,995-$52,495

City fuel economy can be frightening but I was surprised at how good this truck is, even when taking advantage of the new 120 km/h speed limit on the Coquihalla highway. The Durango put in a solid 11.8 L/100km, with more than 900 km driven. Keep in mind I didn’t soft foot my way to or from Kelowna. I did notice that the fuel economy improved vastly the closer I stayed to 100 km/h. The handling is a bit top-heavy in the corners, especially at higher speeds, but after some initial body roll, the Durango is very stable. One notable feature is the automatic fantastic adaptive cruise control, making the ride very enjoyable. Verdict If you drive in the city, the base 3.6L V6 engine might be a better choice based on fuel consumption but, if you drive a lot on the highway or tow a boat (3,265 kg towing capacity), the

Outback 20 and better than ever from page 2

2015 Subaru Outback born to rough it.

CONTRIBUTED

that spot is a fascinating piece of history. Interestingly, my phone whistles telling me I’ve received a message. As I walk towards the allnew 2015 Subaru Outback, I realize that this vehicle is also making its own little history. Touted as the world’s first sport utility wagon, it’s now 20 years old and better than ever. There’s an all-new exterior look, the interior is much more refined, there’s a vibrant gauge cluster, a new audio system, and around back, there’s a total of 1005L of cargo capacity

As far east as you can go in Canada. of it. Complete with a hightorque Lineartronic CVT, I had the option to up and downshift through the Outback’s simulated gears, in case I needed to pass cars en route to my various adventures. First: Sea kayaking in Cape Broyle. Though the drive from downtown St. John’s is only about 66 kilometres, I’ve learned that giving yourself a little extra time when going anywhere is a good idea. Let’s just say the city wasn’t built on a grid so it’s not always a straight shot getting out. And even though you’re on roadways, they’re not highways. Furthermore, not everyone was on such a tight time budget as I was! That said, when I was happily soaking in the surroundings, I did so in peace and quiet. It’s amazing how serene the cabin remains even at highway speeds, with the wind blowing furiously. Furthermore, the Outback has incredible off road capabilities, in case I needed to get to some hard to reach spots. With a ground clearance of 220mm— like the Forester and XV Crosstrek—it can tackle the trails without even breaking a sweat. Thanks to the X-Mode feature, it allows for even more traction in high-slip environments. This all-wheel drive vehicle is just as happy being on the road as it is playing in the puddles, mud or climbing rocks. Another adventure that wasn’t as physically demanding took me to Ferryland. Established in 1621, this community south of St.

Lift Control (VVEL) system, which adds extra power, yet improves fuel efficiency and provides cleaner exhaust emissions. Wandering on less travelled roads towards the towering San Gabriel Mountains, which create a picturesque backdrop to Pasadena, was an opportunity to play with the Z’s delightful rev-match-

ing 7-speed automatic transmission. A 6-speed manual transmission can also be fitted (via a sport package) and it comes with a downshift rev-matching feature, a “world first” for Nissan engineering. It’s a snug driver cockpit that offers limited storage (although there is some extra space behind the

seats), a single cup-holder centre console and a pullup style park brake. I used all the rear travel provided on the driver’s seat and had the seat cushion set to its lowest position – a 6ft- plus tall driver is likely to have space issues. Getting in or out of the lowslung Z wasn’t as painful an exercise as I feared it might

be, but if you suffer from back or joint ailments a taller vehicle would definitely be a better choice. The hip point for the driver’s seat is very low and you sit with legs extended forward, viewing the road ahead over what suddenly seems like a much longer hood.
