Downtown hotel granted height variance

EDITOR

ASSISTANT EDITOR

A plan to build a 24-storey lakefront hotel in downtown Kelowna has crossed its final hurdle following city council’s decision to allow it to be higher than council’s current 19-storey limit for new buildings downtown. While there was little doubt the proposal to build the hotel at the foot of Queensway, by Edmonton-based Westcorp, would be approved given council had already said yes to other aspects of the project and has sold a portion of the yet-to-be closed Mill Street to the company to accommodate the development, the proposal still drew enthusiastic praise from the mayor and some of his councillors. Mayor Walter Gray, who led a round of applause by some on council after they voted to approve the height variance and other minor setback variances, praised Westcorp president Phil Milroy for his patience while waiting for his proposal to go through the process. “If there was ever an award for patience, Phil Milroy would get it,” said Gray referring to the fact the plan was in the works for more than 15 years and has gone through several variations. In the past, some of the variations were controversial, including one dubbed CD21 because of the development zone that would have been created to allow it, and another that included two large towers on the site. Long-time city councillor Robert Hobson said he felt the project is exactly what that end of Bernard Avenue has “always deserved,” and described the planned elliptical tower sitting on a four-storey podium building as a unique piece of architecture. “This will be iconic,” said Hobson. Coun. Andrew Blanleil noted there has been virtually no public opposition to the project, exemplified by the fact that, in his words, the city received no “flak” for agreeing to close Mill Street and sell a portion of it to Westcorp. The city received 57 letters of support for the project from a wide variety of local business groups and individuals.

▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

When work and education come together Erin Kokayko, a recent graduate of the Okanagan College Culinary Program, is excited to begin her career. Born and raised in Kelowna, Erin, who comes from a family of 10, worked part-time as she completed her certificate with Okanagan College and was one of the top performing partners while working at JOEY Kelowna. Designed for students with a demonstrated interest in following a career in food preparation and service, the OC Culinary Arts Program provides the necessary fundamental knowledge for employment as a cook in an institutional, camp or hospitality setting. Emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of food preparation, presentation and service as these are fundamental skills needed to get a job. In addition to in-class lessons, Erin needed to complete 1,200 work-based hours to graduate. Working at JOEY provided her not only the hours she needed to graduate but education working in a lively kitchen and practise with real scenarios. “The experience was great,” said Erin. “Between the education I received in class and the real life training I received at JOEY I feel well equipped to start my career. Too often I see students focus on getting a degree or certificate and putting work aside to focus on studies. At the end of the day employers are looking for candidates who can do the job.” After Erin completed her education she returned to JOEY to take her job to a career. With the drive and talent she showed the organization, they saw a fit for her in head office. She will be working as the culinary coordinator. Erin is not the only Kokayko to have an interest in the culinary arts. Her older sister Elysia is a Red Seal Chef with JOEY working with the IT department. Said Elysia: “I’m so excited to see my sister begin her career here. There are great opportunities with this company and there is something to be said for education that puts emphasis on practical experience.”

COLOUR ME UBC will be one of the fun activities at the UBC Okanagan campus next week to help break the stress of getting back to class for new and returning students.

Students get re-oriented to university life The first days of September are busy ones on the UBC Okanagan campus with many events designed to ensure students feel welcome, comfortable and at home. New international students have an opportunity to participate in Jumpstart this week, while domestic students will take part in Kick Start. Both Jumpstart and Kick Start are intensive orientations held the week before classes start. They offer students fun adventures off campus, academic orientation on campus, and the chance to learn alongside other new-to-UBC students. Create New Student Orientation is a day-long series of events on Tuesday, Sept. 2, specifically for the newest members of the Kelowna campus community.

During Create, new graduate and undergraduate students learn about the people, places, activities and resources available on campus. Among the events planned is the annual Colour Run, where students get blasted with blue and gold paint as they complete fun challenges. For a $5 donation, the Colour Run will raise funds for Feed the Valley, a food bank initiative. The colour run takes place at 3:30 p.m. at the University commons, beside the University Centre. As well, Showcase, a vendor market to highlight on-campus resources and local goods and services available to students off campus, happens the same day as Create. “I am really excited for Kick

Start because I will meet so many people and start making friends right away,” said Anna Bowden, who begins her first year of university at the UBCO campus. “I don’t know anyone who is going to UBC besides people I have met on Facebook. “I decided to register for Create because it is an orientation for everyone and a huge welcome to campus. “Who would want to miss that? There are going to be so many great events on campus. “I will get such a taste of everything that the school and city has to offer.” Create Day will be followed by Week Of Welcome—a full week of events and activities for new students, including barbecues, recreational events, improv, movie nights, festivals and social

gatherings. And, for the first time, the UBCO campus is kicking off Spark, a month-long extended orientation program designed to help students achieve academic success, social networking, and make connections to the community. “We are very excited to offer Spark to students this year,” said Greg Mather, UBCO commuter student program coordinator. “By offering four weeks of programs, events and workshops that target these themes, we hope to spark new connections within the UBC Okanagan community.” For more information and detailed schedules for any of the orientations visit the website http://www.ubc.ca/okanagan/ students/newtoubc/orientations. html.

Townhall meeting to focus on suicide prevention CONTRIBUTED

ELYSIA and Erin Kokayko at Erin’s graduation from the culinary arts program at Okanagan College.

The topic of suicide will be front and centre at a townhall meeting presented by the Okanagan Suicide Awareness Soci-

at Parkinson Recreation Centre’s Orchard Room. The meeting will focus on suicide and its impact in the Central Okanagan, its pre-

vention, and citizen concerns regarding the impact of suicide in our community and access to services.

been built at Boucherie Mountain and Westbank Centre in West Kelowna, with real-time passenger information available at each stop. In Kelowna, a new Route 5 Gordon bus will provide a two-way direct connection via Gordon Drive to downtown Kelowna, the RapidBus corridor on Highway 97, the Capri Shopping Centre, Okanagan College and the Mission Recreation Centre. Another route, the No. 8 University will be realigned to deliver a direct connection to Kelowna General Hospital and Okanagan College. In Lake Country, a new Route 32 The Lakes will connect the Lake Country Town Centre with The Lakes neighbourhood during weekday peak periods. The new route will support current and future residential and commercial growth in The Lakes area, say regional transit planners. Meanwhile, the Route 22 bus that serves Peachland will have improved evening, Sunday and holiday service. The route will link to the recently completed Westbank Centre transit exchange in order to provide better regional transit connectivity. Overall, a total of 15,000 more service hours will be added— representing a 8.5 per cent growth in transit service here. The expansion hours are being paid for by Kelowna, Peachland and Lake Country. The changes in West Kelowna and on Westbank First Nation land have been achieved using existing resources, says B.C. Transit. “The additional 15,000 annual service hours will go a long way towards meeting the public transportation needs of Kelowna,” said Norm Letnick, MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country. “In particular, the new route in Lake Country will provide convenient, efficient service for current and future residents of the area.” For more information on the Kelowna Regional Transit system go to www.bctransit.com/regions/kel or call 250-8608121.

Small critters alive in the soil and the air T

Rain sensoRs 101… With the recent transition into the rainy season, one needs to think about the amount of irrigation that is actually required during these cooler and wetter days. One great way to manage your watering schedule is to utilize a rain sensor that will automatically turn your irrigation system off when rainfall occurs. Rain sensors are designed to interrupt the irrigation schedule during a rainfall event. They are adjustable and will only turn the irrigation off after a preset amount of rainfall occurs. They are easy to install and come in several configurations depending on the options required. Rain sensors are wired directly to the irrigation system controller and depending on the manufacturer are available in either a wired or wireless unit. Wired sensors typically come with 25-30 ft of wire, which can be added onto if required to locate the sensor properly outside the home. Wireless sensors have a little bit more flexibility as to where they can be located. With the wireless system only the transmitter is wired to the irrigation controller, the rain sensor itself has a built-in receiver which transmits back to the controller wirelessly. A rain sensor should be mounted where it will be exposed to unobstructed rainfall, but also out the path of any sprinklers spray. Typically near the roofline on the side of a building is best, ensuring good contact with rainfall and also exposure to sunlight. It is important that the sensor be located in such a manner that tree, overhangs and awnings are not blocking the rainfall onto the sensor. There are many advantages to installing a rain sensor: conserves water, saves money, reduced wear on the irrigation system, reduces disease damage by over watering, reduces surface runoff. For more information on rain sensors and other options please drop by our store.

searching the Internet. Among the smallest are the bacteria and archaea although viruses are even smaller than these. Fungi is another group of organisms common in soil and compost ranging from very small to quite visible; mushrooms of course are part of this group. There are three types of algae as there are protozoa—flagellates, amoebae and ciliates. I guess by now you must be saying enough already, we believe you, our soil is chock full of living creatures we rarely see but as long as they stay where they are and do their job, then I can get on with my gardening without thinking about them. There are, however, people on the planet who just can’t leave it at that, who have a serious urge to learn as much about this miniature world beneath our feet.

One such person is Tim Wilson, who I met a few years ago at the Seattle Flower and Garden Show. He had a booth set up with a huge flat television screen constantly playing video of compost tea magnified 500 times or more over. It looked like a pond full of fish swimming around, only instead of fish there was a collection of weird little creatures swimming, mating, eating and yes even scrapping with each other. Sounds a bit like human beings doesn’t it? But I digress. The bottom line is here is a man who spends a lot of time watching this world of tiny creatures and wants to share what he has learned. Visit his website microorganics.com and you will be amazed at what he has to show you. Turning from the tiny to the all over the place and in your face in-

sect pests, we have some visitors that return every year. The one that comes to mind is fall web worm, which is often confused with a tent caterpillar and even a codling moth. The masses of webbing we see along the roadways and even on our domestic trees and shrubs is one of the most visible pests we have in the Okanagan. But even though is so visible, I have to tell you the damage is only cosmetic. The best way to help keep it to a minimum is to just take a stick and shake up the web clusters, something like making cotton candy. Once the larvae (caterpillars) are exposed the birds and wasps have a field day on them. As I said, the damage even on a very infested tree is only temporary and the foliage will regrow the next season.

Jennifer Monaghan felt that her active life as a mother and volunteer was over when she suffered a stroke in April 2012 that initially left her paralyzed on her right side. But within a few months she was back carpooling and doing pilates twice a week. At only 43 years of age, Monoghan never even considered that her health would take this kind of turn. After intensive speech therapy and hard physical work, she persevered to the point where she will be helping a group of other stroke survivors through their journey. Now, stroke survivors have a new tool for help and hope: the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Living with Stroke program, designed to help stroke survivors and their families improve their quality of life, cope with challenges and connect with others. “I felt really lost after I got out of the hospital. The doctors sent me on my way and I had no one to turn to for support other than my family because there certainly wasn’t anyone in my circle of friends who had gone through a stroke,” Monoghan said. “That is why I jumped on board with the Living With Stroke program. It will give survivors a chance to connect with people who know what they are going through.”

MCC Thrift Shop volunteers celebrated

The Mennonite Central Committee staff for B.C. gathered in Kelowna earlier this month to show their appreciation to the volunteers of the local MCC Thrift Shop. The MCC Abbotsford group put on a barbecue for the staff and volunteers to say thank you for their time and effort put into making this thrift shop a huge success. Out of the 10 MCC thrift shops across the province, the Kelowna shop had the biggest turnout of volunteers with more than 70 in attendance. The block-party like atmosphere included the support of associate executive director Ron van Wyk, human resources

manager Marie Reimer, volunteer coordinator Bridget Findlay, and the communications and program assistant intern Hannah Marazzi. They also spent a couple of hours working alongside long-time volunteers to sort donations. After the shop closed, all volunteers met in the parking lot to share a meal, celebrating the work that MCC does in the community. Some touching reflections were shared by many volunteers. One regular marvelled at the amount of volunteers involved. “It’s amazing how very many people give of their time so freely and joyfully,” she said.

Search for missing boater A 64-year-old Alberta man is believed to be missing after a boat was found unoccupied on Okanagan Lake Tuesday night. The West Kelowna RCMP were called just after 9 p.m. after a local couple collided in their boat with an unoccupied Malibu boat near Kalmoir Regional Park in Okanagan Lake. Upon closer examination of the vessel, police located some personal effects of the missing man along with the ignition keys for the boat, indicating that the operator was possibly missing. No one was injured and minimal damage was incurred in the collision.

COOKING for the MCC Kelowna volunteers at an appreciation barbecue event held Another volunteer shared about the positive environment that the thrift shop facilitates observing, “I love the environment of caring about each other and caring about the customers.” One volunteer noted that MCC served as one of the main reasons she moved to Kelowna.

The MCC Kelowna Thrift Shop will be moving to a larger location at 155 Rutland Rd. South at the beginning of the year with a grand opening planned in February. To find out more about volunteering at the MCC Kelowna Thrift Shop, contact June Forman at 250-765-7838. To find

ICBC seeks 5.2% basic rate hike

Jeff Nagel

CONTRIBUTOR

ICBC is asking regulators to approve a 5.2 per cent increase in basic auto insurance rates. The public auto insurer said the rate hike would cost the average customer an extra $40 per year if approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission. The rate hike is to take effect Nov. 1 on an interim basis while the BCUC reviews the application. A previously approved 5.2 per cent rate hike that took effect in 2013-14 means drivers will soon be paying 10.4 per cent more than they did in 2012 for basic coverage. ICBC blamed the latest increase on a continued rise in injury claims costs paid to crash victims for pain and suffering, future care and lost wages. Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 million from five years earlier. Legal and medical costs are also up. Drivers’ rapidly growing use of cellphones and other personal electronic devices behind the wheel is one of the factors ICBC cited for the rise in injury claims. Distracted driving is the second leading cause of fatal car crashes in B.C.—killing 88 people a year—and is the leading cause of rear-end crashes

But the biggest smile of the evening was worn by Milroy. While he cautioned there is still a great deal of work to be done—detailed design work will take six to eight months before the two-year building project can start—he conceded he was very happy and excited. “It’s taken longer than we thought it would when we started, but this is great,” he said following the council vote Monday night. Milroy said construction of the hotel, which will contain 205 rooms down from the original estimate of 214, will cost $65 million. Millions more will be spent on furnishing and equipping the hotel and conference centre that will be located in the podium section of the building. The podium will also contain a

multi-storey parkade, restaurants, a rooftop pool and commercial units. The hotel will be operated by Westcorp and have a staff of about 100. In return for allowing the extra height, the company has agreed to pay just under $360,000 of the estimated $4 million bill the city is looking at to renovate Kerry Park, which sits adjacent to the hotel site. With Mill Street closed, a pedestrian walkway will be build as part of the park redevelopment that will separate the hotel property from the park. On the lakeside of the park is the $5.1 million public pier and day-use marina and the commercial dock that Westcorp built in anticipation of the hotel project going ahead. The hotel is slated to open in early 2017.

have been established for the South Slopes, Fintry and Kettle Valley Railway. “Having a stewardship group opens up funding possibilities, especially if the provincial government declares it a heritage site. Being a nonprofit would open up other possibilities as well,” Obstfeld said. He cited the example of Friends of Fintry, created in the 1990s to advise the provincial government parks officials on what and how to develop the site as a provincial park. “It’s done really well. Getting the heritage designation was a great thing and the stewardship proceeded slow and careful, little by little. A lot of restoration has gone on with the original manor, the octagon barn and even the

stairwell leading up to the (Shorts Creek) waterfall,” Obstfeld noted. The historic significance of the Brigade Trail dates back to the early 1800s. It was one of two routes used by Hudson’s Bay Company fur traders to transport furs and supplies from the coast to the B.C. Interior. The Okanagan Trail was the first segment developed in the trail network that extended into northern B.C., connecting Kamloops to Osoyoos Lake. From the south end of the Okanagan Valley, the trail extended through Summerland and the western shoreline of Okanagan Lake before continuing on to Monte Lake and climbed across the ridge of land separating the Okanagan and Thompson watersheds.

Westside Road, connecting West Kelowna and Vernon, was largely created from the Brigade Trail pathway carved out decades before. Obstfeld said much of the trail today falls on privately owned land, noting that land records show the Westside portion he wants to see preserved was pre-empted from being Crown land by G.M. Reid in 1908 and reverted back to Crown land in the 1930s. He envisions the trail section having a multipurpose public use for hikers and horseback riders, but not for ATV or motocross riders. The public meeting on the Brigade Trail will take place Thursday, Sept. 4, 6 p.m., at the Okanagan Stables, 3269 North Westside Rd. For more information, call 250-317-5030.

Demands of business leadership require fresh ideas T

hink about these leadership concepts: To lead people, walk beside them; people who follow the best leaders do not notice their existence; when the best leaders’ work is done, the people will think, “We did it ourselves.” I find myself these days never feeling tired to speak about the glory of leadership in our entrepreneurial society, touching the core essence of what leadership is about. Lately, I have spent time reading and enjoyling several books written by John C. Maxwell, an international author and speaker on leadership suggested to me by a good friend of mine in Kansas City who is the vice-president of a leading US entrepreneurial training corporation. Reading about Maxwell’s enlightenment brought me to share my thoughts about entrepreneurial leadership and its -arrival on new venture astages. First, leadership is efundamental to entrepretneurship, but in life there are many ways to look at fthe roles and positions of -leadership. w

d .

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young Some people believe that leaders are born and come to a position of influence by virtue of the unique attributes they possess. But no matter how we might wish to choose and accept from such definitions of leadership, there is a new game in town pertaining to world of entrepreneurial pursuits. Since the 1980s, an increased level of entrepreneurial activity has been spawned, not only because of the electronics age but also due to a plethora of new products, materials, financial networks, joint venture potential and changes in our society related to economics and politics. So it’s imperative for anyone involved in entrepreneurial venture creation to fully comprehend and embrace the importance of sound leadership modalities and their association to “change.”

Let me take a brief journey at my perception of how this picture has formed. The basis for defining and understanding entrepreneurs has created a challenging problem for many years for researchers and practitioners alike. Even today, the struggle continues for an accepted definition of an entrepreneur, even though much of the literature is replete with criteria ranging from my personal favourites that of “innovation and creativity “to personal traits as “appearance and style.” The boat-ride through the entrepreneurial research corridor is often both exhilarating and exhaustive as we never seem to reach a final destination. On the surface, one can associate entrepreneurs with leadership functions such as providing vision to the development of a new product, service or organization. While a leader has to be entrepreneurial as well, entrepreneurial leadership deals with concepts and ideas that are often related to problems that are not of an organizational nature, but rather tend to be indi-

vidual characteristics or behaviours. These evolve from having a vision, problem solving, decision-making, risk taking and creating strategic initiatives. Entrepreneurial leadership is a phrase coined by those who realize a change in leadership style is necessary in order for Canadian business, large and small, to be competitive in this ever-

changing global economy. For example, there often appears to see a shift from a producer mentality to an entrepreneurial mentality that has led to structural changes in organization and, in effect, new ways of doing business. One might also question whether entrepreneurial leadership is truly a new style of leadership, an escape from manage-

ment or even both. Since the ‘80s, a concern that we’ve all witnessed has been that major businesses have seemingly lost their competitiveness through an emphasis on management rather than leadership. Scary thought. It is therefore argued organizations of the future will be in fact, entrepreneurial in nature. Its leadership, strategies and

➣ White Fillings ➣ Crowns, Veneers ➣ Grafts ➣ Root Canals

structure will reflect entrepreneurial thinking with associated characteristics. The characteristics and behaviours that spell success in entrepreneurial firms and small businesses are now being considered by larger firms. This phenomena has coined intrapreneurship, corporations encouraging staff to have an entrepreneur attitude from within. eagleyoung@shaw.ca

Flip the switch on cell phones

efore jumping all over ICBC for requesting an increase of 5.2 per cent for basic insurance, let’s look at their reasons for the request. Claims are up—way up— from five years ago. Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 million from five years earlier. That’s 33 per cent higher than five years ago. Legal and medical costs are also up.And what has happened in the past five years?

Technology. The ever-growing use of cellphones and other personal electronic devices by drivers is a major factor cited for the rise in injury claims. But why should those of us without cell phones pay more because of the irresponsibility of some of those with them? Perhaps it’s time for ICBC to start awarding further reductions to those who do not have cell phones, or those who do not use them in their cars. Of course, something like

that would be near impossible to monitor. The real solution is for the automotive industry to jump in and rectify the situation. Here’s how. Install a mechanism in the motor of the car that renders smartphones, laptops and other such instrumentation useless, while the engine is engaged. Impossible? Hardly. After all, you can turn on the lights of your house from your hotel room in another city. A disengage switch for smartphones should be a breeze.

Too “Big Brother” for you? Don’t consider it “Big Brother;” consider it improvement to vehicle safety for the good of all. Remember, seat belts used to be optional; as did motorcycle helmets. Plenty of people protested those laws as well. But we eventually got over it. Heaven forbid that we should be forced to drive without the use of a phone, or a laptop, or a DVD player. That’s so 1990. And what did car insurance cost in 1990? —Comox Valley Record

Optimism for B.C. about Canada’s emerging high-tech hub

ne of the privileges of being Premier is traveling the length and breadth of British Columbia. It gives me an opportunity to learn how people in each region of B.C. perceive each other. If you’ve ever been to Kamloops, you’re well aware of the friendly rivalry that exists between Kelowna and Kamloops. So it’s always interesting to hear what people across B.C. are hearing and saying about Kelowna and the Okanagan. Here’s what I’m hearing. Kelowna

is known as a great vacation destination, an agricultural paradise, and a home to great manufacturing outfits. But, increasingly, we’re making a name Christy for ourselves as a cenClark tre for high-tech entrepreneurship. Considering our size, when it comes to successful tech enterprises, we punch far above our weight: Club Penguin, FreshGrade, and Hyper Hippo, to name just a few. Each of these businesses represents another reason for talented and creative individuals to live, work, and

MLA’S REPORT

raise a family in Kelowna, whether they were born and raised here, or come from afar. At the end of July, we took a big step towards solidifying our reputation as a hub of technological excellence, investing $6 million in the new, state-of-the-art Okanagan Centre for Innovation. The new centre—a partnership that brings together the Kelowna Sustainable Innovation Group with private industry, Okanagan College, UBCO, Accelerate Okanagan, and the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission—will be a 10,000-square-foot jewel of a building at Doyle and Ellis. But more importantly, it’ll be an incubator for

ideas and enterprises. The part of the building owned by the province will be set aside for local tech start-ups at a minimal cost, giving young companies the facilities to go from concept to commercial success. Some of the Okanagan’s best and brightest entrepreneurs, after participating in the Accelerate Okanagan Venture Acceleration Program, will be based in the new centre as they gather venture capital. Non-profit groups, community organizations, and social enterprises will also benefit from low-cost, flexible space. This facility is an exciting development, but start-up culture is really nothing new to the Okanagan; it’s

part of our culture. It’s that drive that led the first pioneers to plant their crops in this valley, and the tenacity with which W.A.C. Bennett took over a small hardware store and turned it into a regional chain. Innovation leads to new opportunities and applications we can’t even guess at in every industry and sector of the economy. Health care and education are already being revolutionized by new technologies, allowing us to provide those services more efficiently and effectively. Agriculture, mining, forestry and manufacturing are also ready for solutions that will make BC-based companies more competitive in Canada and the world.

▼ TEACHERS’ STRIKE

Grade 12 student considers her future To the editor: My name is Isabella Thomson, and I am a (or hopefully soon will be) a Grade 12 student attending Kelowna Secondary School. I wanted to ask a few questions about the teachers’ strike. I guess my biggest question is: What will happen for high school students? Particularly Grade 12 students? I am fully aware that the government will provide $40 a day for children under 13, but what about the rest of the school-aged children who are in that awkward middle—between 14 and 17? I understand this stipend is to cover childcare costs, and obviously middle and high school students are old enough to find their own daily arrangements. But I am referring to the compensation aspect of it—the ‘pacifier strategy’ being used here to keep parents at bay whilst the two parties keep doing whatever they are doing. But what, may I ask, is the government planning to do to keep teenagers ‘pacified?’ As I can assure you, most high school students right now are not very happy with the way things are going. I would like to know what is planned to compensate us for this confuddled start to our year? We only get three years in high school, and if one is, so to speak, taken advantage of, then what are we left with? I guess I am very upset at this because, like thousands of other Grade 12s across the province, I have planned my year according to my future goals, and had no room left for ‘adjustments.’ Maybe I am sounding like a selfish, whining teenager by saying this, but I have genuine concerns. So much of high school is spent telling us to plan our years according to, and to prepare for our future goals. Is this still of no importance? Let me give you a personal example, an “exercise” in what I may be faced with should this year become anymore muddled than it already is. I have had a passion for cooking since I was little. I used to read cookbooks as my bedtime stories, and watch Food Network as my Saturday

morning cartoons. When I moved to the Okanagan two years ago, I was so excited to finally have the opportunity to study culinary arts in one the best food cultures in Canada. And then I discovered the Culinary Arts Dual Credit program offered through Okanagan College, which would allow me to start my program early, and have the tuition subsidized by the school district. So, last year I got all of my paperwork done, received my acceptance letters and got everything in order so that I would be able to start the program in February. In participating in this program though, the only outstanding requirements that remain are that I complete two foods courses, and my English 12 in my first semester. But now, because of everything that has happened with the strike, I have some very big concerns that I won’t be able to do my program, or that it will have to be pushed back a semester which may mean I may longer be part of the subsidized program. And this is only my story. It is also within all of this kerfuffle that I am beginning to question what public education means to the government, what it means to me, what it means to the 550,000ish students and their parents living in B.C. Have we forgotten the meanings of being a student, being a teacher? Here’s a provincial exam-worthy question, in which I am anxious to hear some answers. 1. Please define ‘public education.’ A. A government-run business in which to assimilate younger minds into the mindset of the country. B. A way of getting rid of the kids for six hours everyday. C. A basic right which teaches children the necessary skills to be able to enter the world prepared, and be able to pursue higher knowledge; as well as gaining the encouragement to be an active citizen in our society. D. Another 100 year old tradition/problem that no one knows what to do with, so it keeps getting put on the backburner.

www.kelownacapnews.com A11

I just wish there was someone who understood what public education is truly meant for. I have always taken my education seriously, and put my greatest effort into it, and in turn gained so much. “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,” said a very wise man with a history of resolving conflicts. Your schools are raising the next world leaders, your succeeding politicians and changemakers. They are still young, though, and impressionable to the world around them. There needs to be an awareness that students are certainly not learning anything about conflict resolution in this situation. We are learning that money is of greater value than our education. We are learning that a government’s power is set in stone, and has no will to budge. We are learning that compromise is so last century. But maybe the answer is in the question. Children can have a very interesting perspective on conflicts, you know. Maybe government needs to be consulting the children being affected instead of the political advisers offering solutions to this little situation. Ultimately, it feels like there is just no surface at this point, only backsplash. It is like the government are trying to solve world hunger, but forgetting about the breakfast program it wanted to start at your local elementary school. Instead of trying to achieve a long-term agreement at this point, I think there needs to be a short-term agreement so that schools are running smoothly for this year, providing a longer period of time to truly discuss and compromise. Some may look at my letter and say, “Oh, it’s just another kid taking the teachers’ side,” and I will not deny my support for the teachers. But if you take a moment to read between the lines, you will see that I am a concerned (and sometimes opinionated) young women who is exercising her right to freedom of speech, and her right to education. Isabella Thomson, Kelowna

Equal access to quality education for all B.C. children To the editor: This past year my daughter’s Grade 4 teacher encouraged her students to ask “deep thinking questions.” It was her way of helping her students look at the bigger picture—the long term effect of a decision and what beliefs we hold that ultimately form our opinions and values in life. As the uncertainty of this school year looms, each B.C. citizen needs to ask themselves this type of question about our education crisis and what role they may play in the bigger picture. From the conversations I’ve had, it seems that the core value that determines one’s opinion regarding our current public education dispute is whether they feel their responsibility in life is to themselves and their immediate family—an “every man for himself” attitude, or they feel their responsibility is to our entire community—an “it takes a village to raise a child” attitude. My husband and I could (with some financial sacrifices) afford to send our two children to private school. However, we believe that we are all in this life together. What makes our two children more deserving of a fully supported education system than the child who is born into a family that could never afford private school? Will my taxes have to go up to provide equal access to quality education? Yes! But I’m OK with that. Just as I am OK with my taxes going up

for health care so that my elderly neighbour doesn’t lose his life savings due to a cancer diagnosis. (A common scenario in the U.S.) Taking care of one another is a value I believe has always been woven through Canadian culture and admired by other countries. Please look at the bigger picture. There are people who’s knee jerk reaction is to pull their kids out of public school in favour of the small class sizes and better resources that private schools advertise, and public schools are fighting for. Please reconsider and help fight for equal access to quality education for all children, regardless of their tax bracket. This is not a “teachers fight” (I’m not a teacher). It is far bigger than that. Kids are long-term investments, ones that will pay off as qualified professionals that we will depend on at some point in our future. Every citizen of B.C., regardless of whether or not you currently have a child in the public school system, should care about all children having equal access to education to realize their full potential. It’s time we all act with integrity, looking out for the greater good of all, rather than only what will benefit us individually. I want my kids back in school on Tuesday as much as any other parent, but not at the expense of the kids that stand to lose the most.

forces to raise money for the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation Cardiac/Stroke Fund. Tessa Monaghan, 12, and her friends visiting from New York City, Peyton and Kathleen Stewart, wanted to raise money by operating a lemonade stand for a day in their neighbourhood, then decided there wasn’t enough foot traffic during the seek where the Monaghan family lived, so the motivated entrepreneurial trio took their venture downtown. Operating at the corner of Bernard and Ellis, the girls sold lemonade and homemade chocolate cookies. “We have done this two years in a row now and it feels great to donate the money instead of spending it on ourselves. We had fun making the cookies together and selling them. The people that bought stuff were generous and said they tasted great. Some even gave us donations without taking anything,” said Peyton Stewart, 12. The kids raised $161.10.

FOOD & WINE TRAILS

Jennifer Schell ment, this festival will be the first of its kind in Canada. A Small Guys Wine Festival, it celebrates the artisan winemakers who are crafting commercial-

ly produced small case lot wines (under 2000 cases). Garagistes are coming from across the Okanagan and Similkameen Valleys, providing guests with a taste of the diverse terroir and varietal strengths by region. Tickets are $40 from Eventbrite: https:// www.eventbrite.ca/e/ garagiste-the-smallguys-wine-festivaltickets-11835340823 and include live music and

Held at one of my favourite local farms, Jon and Sher Alcock and family host the inaugural Tomato Festival at Sunshine Farm in southeast Kelowna, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. jennschell@shaw.ca

Give back through Hands in Service Patricia Goertzen Imagine the frustration, isolation and desperation you might feel if you had a disabled limb, had just undergone major surgery, or were living with a debilitating illness and had not one person to turn to for support. Now, think what that would be like while living on $1,000 per month to pay rent, food and medical necessities. How will you get food home from the food bank? How will you

clean your bathroom and kitchen? What about the emotional and physical distress you experience? Hands in Service provides thousands of hours of free, compassionate care and service to hundreds of vulnerable people in our community and the number of distressed people requesting assistance with access to food and non-medical home support grows

each year. We are not a delivery or maid service; while we look after practical tasks, we are meeting the need for caring connection. Your engagement may not be through volunteer hours, but you can “buy in” so that we can continue to provide and increase the services offered. With as little as two hours of time or $2 cash you can impact the quality of life and hope of someone struggling in our community.

Kelowna Mission 109 - 2900 Pandosy Street Next to Ethan Allan 250-717-1500

Because of our amazing volunteers, cost per hour of service is less than $10. Just $2 can deliver a week of food to someone who might otherwise go hungry. Volunteering two hours every two weeks can facilitate a whole year of pain-free, in-home assistance. Visit the Hands in Service website at www. handsinservice.ca; email info@handsinservice.ca or call 250-861-5465. Patricia Goertzen is the executive director of Hands in Service.

CENTRAL OKANAGAN

Vantage West adopts cutting-edge realty model Vantage West Realty opened the doors to its expanded location in downtown Kelowna recently, introducing a new real estate office concept. Vantage West says its new consultancy model promises improved customer service for home buyers and sellers, and more stability for real estate agents. “The old brokerage model has existed more than a 100 years and hasn’t really changed; it creates a sink or swim environment for agents while home buyers are paying for a service that’s not meeting their needs,” says A. J. Hazzi, managing broker/ owner of Vantage West. The expansion comes at a time when Okanagan homes sales and property development is experiencing an upswing. “We believe in where the market is going for Kelowna and over the past year we’ve seen our growth increase more than three times the acceleration curve of the market,” says Hazzi. “We feel now is the time to take a risk and make a bold move.” Vantage West sales grew by 77 per cent over last year, while the Kelowna real estate market saw a healthy increase of 22 per cent. Much of the market confidence stems from the extensive investment and support of new development within the core of Kelowna. “Our investment in the revitalization of Kelowna’s downtown has spurred new optimism for our city,”

Vantage West agent Jared Franczak (left to right), Kelowna city councillor Colin Basran, owner A.J. Hazzi, Argus Properties director Rob Smith, senior partner Nick Hazzi, Kelowna Chamber CEO Caroline Grover and client CONTRIBUTED care manager Gayle Helbig. says Kelowna city councilor and mayoral candidate Colin Basran. “The city is not only attracting new

development but it has become a welcoming place where young entrepreneurs can put down roots

and grow their businesses.” With a passion for helping people achieve homeownership, Vantage West is confident the new, cutting-edge realty model positions them well to serve the influx of homeowners looking to relocate in the Okanagan. With each team member taking a unique role in the real estate process—marketing, new clients contact and client experience—Vantage West’s consultancy model frees the agent to focus solely on the home buyer and seller. Agents’ compensation is directly tied to the client experience, with bonuses given for top client ratings. Not only is the super team concept more efficient as resources are pooled for marketing, Vantage West is seeing increased productivity, with agents selling more than three times that of local realtors. At 35 transactions per agent, Vantage West’s model far exceeds the industry average at nine and is double that of the top real estate network which report 15 transactions per agent. “Generally, a realtor is wearing 20 hats, juggling the many parts of the home buying and selling process,” says Hazzi. “Here, all of our agents spend no time searching for the next client or dreaming up new marketing plans, and no time doing administrative tasks. All they do is serve their client.” Vantage West Realty’s new offices are located in The Manhattan, 1060 Manhattan Drive.

Of Prime Interest: Mortgages come in many guises Homeowners and buyers are in a rather enviable position these days. Interest rates are at historic lows and the cost of borrowing for a home is about as low as it can get. The five-year fixed rate is again available as low as 2.89 per cent and the variable rate is at prime minus .60 per cent. While that’s great news, it’s not the only thing homeowners and purchasers need to think about when negotiating a mortgage. There are a number of other features to consider before signing up for a mortgage—likely the largest debt most Canadians will take on in their lives. When it comes to choosing a mortgage, getting a good rate is only the beginning. You have to be aware of all the other features that may lie below the surface. All features of a mortgage

should fit a homebuyer’s personal goals, both now and down the road. Fixed rate mortgage A fixed rate mortgage will guarantee you a rate for a specific period of time. Fixed rate mortgages are available for terms from six months up to 10 years the most popular being a five-year fixed currently available at 2.89 per cent. If you need to break the term you will be charged a three month interest penalty or an interest rate differential (IRD), whichever is greater. An IRD is a penalty for early prepayment of all or a portion of your mortgage outside of its normal prepayment terms. Usually this is calculated as the difference between the existing rate and the rate for the term remaining, multiplied by the principal outstanding and the balance of the term. It can be very costly.

Variable rate mortgage There are ways to avoid or at least reduce the IRD. Variable rate mortgages float with the prime rate and are available up to .60 below prime, currently resulting in a rate of 2.4 per cent. If the prime rate changes the interest you are charged and your monthly payment will fluctuate. You have the option with a variable rate mortgage to convert to a fixed term equal or greater to the period remaining in your term. This option is available at any time and there is no penalty to do so. Typically variable rate mortgages are for a five-year term but are also available for lesser terms. You will only ever be charged a three-month interest penalty should you break the term in a variable rate mortgage.

Open mortgage Open mortgages are also available but usually at a higher rate of interest. Assumable mortgage Always confirm you have an assumable mortgage. An assumable mortgage means the mortgage can be transferred to another borrower. It allows a purchaser to take on your mortgage’s terms and payments (upon qualification) as part of the sale of your home. With extremely low interest rates today, that could be a big selling feature to a potential buyer in the future. Portability Another option that many mortgages have is portability. This allows you to transfer your existing mortgage over to a new property—another huge advantage if you have a mortgage at current low rates. As well, if the penalty to pay

the mortgage off is large, you may port it and reduce the penalty or have no penalty at all. Not all portability features are the same, however. Some lenders allow up to 120 days for transfer of the mortgage while others allow for only a few days or a week. Choosing the right mortgage involves considering where you are now and where you may be three to five years from now. Working with a professional can help you make sense of the many options available to you.

Rockets coach high on skilled rookie Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Playing a few shifts during Game 3 of last spring’s WHL playoff series between Kelowna and Portland simply confirmed what Dillon Dube already suspected was true. There’s nothing the Cochrane, Alta. product would rather do than wear I NEED TO WORK Rockets’ colours MY HARDEST, while carvTHAT’S THE ONLY ing out a WAY I CAN HAVE long and SUCCESS…I HAVE prosperous major junTO SHOW THAT ior career. I CAN PLAY AND KelowTHAT I BELONG na’s firstHERE. round pick in the 2013 Dillon Dube bantam draft, Dube arrived at training camp this week taking nothing for granted, prepared to do whatever is necessary to make the WHL club’s final roster. “I’m here to try out, I know I won’t be given anything and I have to earn my spot,” said the 5-foot-10, 175 forward. “I need to work my hardest, that’s the only way I can have success. I’m excited to have a chance to be part of this team, and have to show that I can play and that I belong here.” Dube is the third of three consecutive first-round bantam choices by the Rockets who have been cut from similar cloths—smaller-than-average forwards with plenty of skill. Rourke Chartier was drafted in 2011 and rookie of the year Nick Merkley in 2012. And like those first-round draft picks who have come before him, there will be considerable expectations of Dube. The Rockets have slotted him in as a bottom-six forward, with some room to move up as the season progresses. “When you look at Merkley and Chartier, they came in as 16-year-olds and had to earn their ice time,” Rockets head coach Dan Lambert. “Dillon will be in a similar situation to start, with a chance to work his way up. If he’s able to show us what he can do, we feel he’s a

‘‘

player. Still, the head coach said Dube has all the tools necessary to develop into an effective WHL player. “He’s a great skater, sees the game very well and shoots the puck well for a guy his age,” Lambert said of Dube, who had 21 goals and 63 points in 44 games with the Notre Dame midget Hounds last season. “We know what he can do offensively, now he has to go through that part of the process WE KNOW WHAT of workHE CAN DO ing on his OFFENSIVELY… IF defensive HE’S WILLING TO game. “If he’s PUT IN THE WORK, willing to WE THINK HE’S put in the GOING TO BE AN work, we EXCITING PLAYER think he’s going to be FOR US FOR YEARS an exciting TO COME. player for Dan Lambert us for years to come.” From Dube’s perspective, being likened to Chartier and Merkley is both humbling and serves as motivation to get off to a good start in his junior career. “(GM) Bruce Hamilton said he wants me to watch them because the Rockets think I can be kind of like them,” said Dube. “It’s awesome to see them play… I’ve got to put a lot of hard work into being as good as them, but it would be nice if I was able to do that.” As for his second Rockets’ training camp and upcoming exhibition games, Dube hopes the competitive environment will enhance his game each time he steps on the ice. “Every game and practise will get faster, and once every player and game gets better, I need to do the same,” said Dube. “This is helping me out for my development, trying to get better for the exhibition games and hopefully beyond that.”

The UBC Okanagan women’s soccer team continues its preparations for the Heat’s first Canada West season with an exhibition game today (Thursday) at Nonis Field. At 5 p.m., Claire Paterson’s squad will take on the Douglas College Royals. Last weekend, UBCO earned a split of two exhibition games in Alberta, defeating the Mount Royal Cougars Saturday night 2-0, before falling to the Calgary Dinos on Sunday morning 3-0. “It was another good road trip for the team,” comments head coach Claire Paterson. “We definitely saw improvements from our first weekend of exhibition play as the players are now getting more comfortable with each other and the style we want to play.” A few of the Heat’s freshmen came up big in the game against the host Mount Royal Cougars on Saturday evening, as first year striker from Kelowna, Courtney Hemmerling, notched her first goal in a Heat uniSee Heat A22

Dodds gives Heat New blood and vets on Warriors insurance goal ▼ BCHL

Warren Henderson

STAFF REPORTER

Considerable player turnover from year to year is one of the inevitabilities of junior A hockey. The 2014-15 BCHL campaign will be no different for Rylan Ferster whose West Kelowna Warriors will have no fewer than 12 new faces in the lineup this season. Nine veteran returnees and two summer acquisitions will be joined by about 30 newcomers for the start of Warriors’ training camp on Friday at Royal LePage. Key returnees expected to lead the club this season include goaltender Andy Desautels, along with forwards Jason Cotton, Jordan Masters and Liam Blackburn. “We’re not returning a whole lot but we’re returning some pretty good players,” said Ferster. “Obviously having our No. 1 goaltender (Desautels) back is big for us. He was very good last season.”

form. Hemmerling’s goal and the 90 minute shutout posted by freshman keeper Francesca Balletta (Burnaby) drove UBC Okanagan to a 2-0 win in Calgary over the Cougars. Senior forward Kirsten Dodds (Vernon), netted the second goal for UBC Okanagan in the win. “We played well on Saturday versus Mount Royal, maintaining possession and creating several solid goal scoring opportunities,” said Paterson. “We managed to finally put two away in the second half which was out of sheer hard work and we claimed our first victory and shut out his season.” Sunday at noon the Heat then stared down a veteran Canada West squad in the Calgary Dinos, who overcame a persistent offense assault from UBC Okanagan, and shut the Heat out 3-0. Paterson’s needed to mix and match with who was on the field with the quick turnaround in games, “our second match the University of Calgary we had to juggle our line up a bit from the previous match and test out some of our new play-

Calgary played well moving the ball quickly and pouncing on us when we got possession. A couple of errors on our part were punished but that is a very important lesson to learn

work in progress early in the season. “With only two guys back, it’s really an unknown part of our hockey club at this point,” said Ferster. “The guys we’ve recruited, we don’t know for sure what we’re getting until we see them working together as a group, and then slotting them in. Any time you have a big changeover, you have question marks. We’ll be younger and inexperienced but that

doesn’t mean we can’t have a good group back there.” Ferster is encouraged by the arrival of 18-yearold defenceman Rylan Yaremko, who played last season with Spruce Grove of the AJHL. “We saw him in spring camp and he looked good,” he said. Also New to the mix are a pair of forwards acquired in the off-season— Dante Hahn from the Victoria Grizzlies and Vernon native Michael Roberts who played last season in Surrey and Salmon Arm. “We expect Hahn to be a top-six forward for us,” Ferster said. “We think we’ve recruited some pretty good players. Now we’ll wait and see how things shape up.” Ferster said he expects to keep 21 or 22 players on the roster to start the season. Because the Warriors will have an abundance of new faces, Ferster has extended his club’s exhibition schedule from four to six games. “I thought we’d better play a couple more games so we can give our team time to come together and find out what we’ve got,” he said. The Warriors exhibition schedule opens Sunday vs Merritt Centennials. Face off is 7 p.m. The teams will meet again Monday in Merritt.

Chiefs round out coaching staff

Two new faces will join Kelowna Chiefs head coach Jason Tansem behind the bench for the upcoming KIJHL season. Floyd Ryan and Matthew Sheeran, who were at the team’s main training camp this week, will serve as Tansem’s assistants. Sheeran, 21, has both Jr. A and Jr. B playing experience. “I’m excited to stay a part of hockey now that I’m done playing,” says Sheeran. “I’m really looking forward to being a part of the game from the other side as a staff member. I feel like I‘ve joined a good club to mold good habits into a possible future career.” Ryan has spent more than 30 years coaching and developing players. “I am very excited to be part of the Chiefs organization. The vision, direction and key objectives of the ownership group and head coach Tansem is focused and supports my philosophy of the importance of player development and game fundamentals in a fun and positive team environ-

Cineplex Orchard Plaza 5

ment,” says Ryan. Head coach Tansem couldn’t be happier to add the two very solid, full-time coaches to the program. “Floyd is a very experienced coach and brings a toolkit that is very seasoned and full of knowledge. Matt is

young, fresh from the game and will be able to give us a different perspective on things both on the ice and in our dressing room.” “The front office, leadership team and coaching staff are all set and ready to perform,”

continues Tansem. “After what seemed to be a long summer, I am excited for Monday to come and camp to begin.” Kelowna’s first home exhibition game is tonight Aug. 28 against North Okanagan, 7 p.m. at Rutland Arena.

BUSINESS

Take extraordinary helicopter ride to exquisite winery A lpine Helicopters Inc. at 1295 Industrial Way in West Kelowna, is offering a fabulous unique tour: The Quails’ Gate Experience. Before taking off, you are escorted into their heli-port terminal/reception area to meet Joanne Ursuliak. Joanne shows you a safety video, tells you about the helicopter, reiterates a few more safety rules and then you are escorted to the helicopter. From there, you are in the capable and well experienced hands of tour pilot Peter Beets. You will fly around the extinct volcano of Mount Boucherie and over the stunning shoreline of Okanagan Lake before descending right into the spectacular location of Quails’ Gate. Once at the winery, you will be met by their friendly staff who will take you on a private tour of the vineyard and then to the stunning wine library for a private tasting. After experiencing the fruits of their labour you will be seated in the Old Vines Restaurant for a pared three-course unbelievable lunch or dinner while you relax and take in the amazing surroundings. When you are finished dining, the helicopter will return to pick you up and fly you over the vineyards of West Kelowna, the William R. Bennett Bridge, past downtown Kelowna and the waterfront before descending back into their base over Rose Valley Lake. Alpine Helicopters is head-quartered in Kelowna and has been operating since 1961. Alpine has three other bases including Calgary, Golden and Canmore, where they tour 12,000 to 15,000 people a year. In the winter, they are the heli-ski experts operating from their Golden base. This tour is not only for visitors or tourists to our city. It

The Okanagan summers can be hot but leaving a window or a door open while you’re away is exactly what thieves are looking for. “You wouldn’t put a sign on your front lawn telling people that your home is unlocked,” said Kelowna RCMP Supt. Nick Romanchuk, “but that’s essentially what you’re doing when a window or door is left open or unlocked.” Thefts from vehicles also continue to be a problem with 55 per cent attributable to unlocked cars and the remainder attributed to valuables left in plain sight. Wallets and electronics tend to be the most target items from vehicles.

Preserving historic BrigadeTrail Barry Gerding EDITOR

An effort is underway to preserve the longest intact stretch of the historic Hudson’s Bay Brigade Trail on the west side of Okanagan Lake. The trail path is located in a designated recreation and trail area near Reid Creek on the Westside, north of the Okanagan Lake Resort and south of the Girl Guides’ Camp Mawata. Currently at this spot are the remnants of an old log cabin, root cellar and abandoned orchard. Peter Obstfeld is heading up the organizing of a meeting of area stakeholders and individuals interested in preserving a piece of the Okanagan’s history. Obstfeld, who operates Okanagan Stables, said his immediate goal is to create a stewardship group that would oversee the project, which would include trail enhancement and preservation, rebuilding the log cabin and securing funding for these and other ongoing trail projects. He said similar groups have been established for the South Slopes, Fintry and Kettle Valley Railway. “Having a stewardship group opens up funding possibilities, especially if the provincial government declares it a heritage site. Being a nonprofit would open up other possibilities as well,” Obstfeld said. He cited the example of Friends of Fintry, created in the 1990s to advise the provincial government parks officials on what and how to develop the site as a provincial park. “It’s done really well. Getting the heritage

designation was a great thing and the stewardship proceeded slow and careful, little by little. A lot of restoration has gone on with the original manor, the octagon barn and even the stairwell leading up to the (Shorts Creek) waterfall,” Obstfeld noted. The historic significance of the Brigade Trail dates back to the early 1800s. It was one of two routes used by Hudson’s Bay Company fur traders to transport furs, goods and supplies from the coast to the B.C. Interior. The Okanagan Trail was the first seg-

ment developed in the trail network that extended into northern B.C., connecting Kamloops to Osoyoos Lake. From the south end of the Okanagan Valley, the trail extended through Summerland and the western shoreline of Okanagan Lake before continuing on to Monte Lake and climbed across the ridge of land separating the Okanagan and Thompson watersheds. Westside Road, connecting West Kelowna and Vernon, was largely created from the Brigade Trail pathway carved out decades before. Obstfeld said much of the trail today falls on privately owned land, noting that land records show the Westside portion he wants to see preserved was pre-empted from being Crown land by G.M. Reid in 1908 and reverted back to Crown land in the 1930s. He envisions the trail section having a multipurpose public use for hikers and horseback riders, while limiting access to ATV and motocross riders because of the potential damage that could cause the single-track trail. He said there is a lot of bark beetle-killed timber that has fallen along the trail section that could be cleaned up and removed as a forest fire safety measure as well. “I’m 63 years old so I won’t be around probably to see all this come to fruition one day, but I just want to help a little bit now to get something started, to see this public land portion of the trail preserved because of the history behind it,” Obstfeld said. The public meeting on the Brigade Trail will take place Thursday, Sept. 4, 6 p.m., at the Okanagan Stables, 3269 North Westside Rd. For more information, call 250-317-5030.

WEST KELOWNA ▼ ROSE VALLEY REG PARK

Upper parking lot closed The upper Westlake Road parking area at Rose Valley Regional Park will be closed until the end of September. The closure started Aug. 27. Regional Parks staff is in the process of removing and upgrading fences and other amenities, along with sprucing up adjoining trails around the information kiosk area. During this time, park visitors are asked to stay

out of the closed parking area as it will be used for storing supplies and equipment. While the upper parking lot is closed, visitors are encouraged to use the newly upgraded parking lot and washroom facility at Westlake Road and Starlight Crescent. This work is funded through a grant from the Community Recreation Program Trails to Health project.

Over the past year, this project has seen upgrading and developing approximately eight kilometres of trails in three large looped sections of Rose Valley Regional Park. Hazardous trees have been removed and six new lookouts and benches have been installed. In addition, way-finding trail maps and markers have been installed and a new information kiosk and washroom were built at the lower parking area off Westlake Road and Starlight Crescent. For more information about regional parks and programs, visit the Central Okanagan Regional District website: regionaldistrict.com/parks.

Westside briefs: Joint park management The Regional District of the Central Okanagan and the District of West Kelowna have agreed that the RDCO will manage the municipality’s por-

tion of the Glen Canyon Regional Park. In the five-year agreement, the regional parks service will construct a trailhead and parking area

at Gellatly Road and develop a trail through the park below Canyon Ridge Estates that was acquired by West Kelowna in 2012. The improvements

The $15,000 comes from the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, the Province of BC and the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation and includes installation of the new dock. Interested parties gave their support for the proposed dock in order to enhance fishing and expand parks programs. The regional district will apply to the provincial government for re-

quired approvals to allow installation of the dock.
