eachers at Pearson Elementary school have an offer for Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender. Visit their school. Spend some time in a classroom. Get a feel for what happens at the students’ level of B.C.’s education system. Then say if they still feel that schools are adequately funded. “(Clark) needs 15 minutes in a classroom— it wouldn’t take a day,” said Allison MacAfee. “Just come visit the classroom.” “And not for a photo op, where they’re opening a book and everyone is sitting still,” added Isabel Vicente. “For a real day.” See story on page A3

Passion to help students fuels frustration Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

oth Allison MacAfee and Isabel Vicente have been teaching for 20 years. It’s only the half-way mark of their careers, but also more than enough time to witness what they describe to be a seismic shift in the way B.C. schools are run and the opportunities that students are able to access. Especially at schools where the difference between the haves and have nots is so obvious. The familiar battle cries over class size and composition aren’t just talking points or the fodder of a never-ending legal battle at schools like Pearson, where a number of students in each classroom are facing challenges of varying degrees. “It goes from fullout autism, to someone who has speech issues, or someone who is an English language learner,” said Vicente. Every case is different, she said, prompting a story about a student who goes into severe rages. When the little boy’s temper spikes, other students “evacuate” their class and file into a neighbouring room and wait out the emotional outpouring. Given that there’s rarely a counsellor on site—one stretches duties between three schools— it’s the only way they can deal with the situation. “All we can do is have each other’s backs because there’s nobody else to help us,” said Vicente. Another teacher, who asked that her name not be used, said that she had a classroom 10 years ago, where there were 24 students. Six of those kids had individualized learning

OKANAGAN Valley teachers returned to the picket lines on Monday as negotiations between the BC Teachers’ Federation and provincial government continue this week, leaving parents to wonder if classes will resume on Tuesday, Sept. 2. needs, which kept her scrambling to meet their educational goals and push the rest through the right hoops. That was her worst year, she said, but the ones that have followed haven’t been much better. And her co-workers agreed. “Even parents are starting to notice,” said MacAfee. “I had a class of 21 students and parents who know me, and know I’m an experienced teacher, walk around the class and say, ‘You need help in here.’ And I said, ‘Yes, yes I do.’ Because we have students who need more.” The need for more help is particularly noticeable in those early years. “Composition, in the primary years is very frustrating,” she said.

‘‘

I HAD A CLASS OF 21 STUDENTS AND PARENTS WHO KNOW ME, AND KNOW I’M AN EXPERIENCED TEACHER, WALK AROUND THE CLASS AND SAY, ‘YOU NEED HELP IN HERE.’ AND I SAID, ‘YES, YES I DO.’ —Teacher Allison MacAfee

“These kids need help, and they’re not getting it because people who do the assessments are pushing them off.” Offering an example, MacAfee, pointed to a student she had last year in her Grade 1 class. “His kindergarten teacher knew, and I knew. You just had to look at him: He’s a resource student, meaning he’s special needs,” she said. That student hadn’t been evaluated by the

time he was seated in MacAfee’s classroom, so there was no assistance. “Eventually we got an outside assessment done from Interior Health and it said he was working at a pre-kindergarten level going into Grade 2; never mind the fact his speech and fine motor skills were behind,” she said. But, despite noticeable challenges, the document said: “We will reassess in three or four years, and maybe at that

point he will qualify for assistance.” No extra funding or help was designated to that student. “I think of that particular child every day that I’m here. It’s so sad,” she said. “We can’t retain him, and it wouldn’t help him anyway. He needs a worker one on one…When you sat side-by-side with him he could do the work. “He’s such a happy, nice kid. But I can’t spend my time that way. “There are 20-plus more kids to teach. And you know what happens to those kids? Behaviours come out because they get frustrated. “Then they start hitting, and acting out—it’s heart breaking.” The mother of that particular boy is amazing, she said. But a single

mother who works all the time can only do so much, which returns the pressure to the school system. “The mother looked into private school because she knew she could get help for him, one on one,” MacAfee said. “But she couldn’t do it. And she said she didn’t think she should have to, and I agree.” Each student in B.C. should have access to a solid education, every teacher on the Pearson picket line said Wednesday. That, however, isn’t happening. With special demands sucking up the resources of teachers, those students who are regular learners are getting less and less attention. “Some days after I’ve spent the whole day dealing with one of my (high needs) students, I think to

myself, ‘Oh no. I never had time to say ‘good job’ to so-and-so, or ask this girl how she was doing,’” said another teacher, who also asked to not be named. Those students who don’t demonstrate extra need, are “just getting pushed through.” Strangely, it’s a completely different situation just a short drive away. There are schools in the Mission and in Glenmore that are chock-ablock with supplies and opportunity. One teacher, who also asked he not be named, pointed out that one school in the Mission literally was able to send something into space as part of their classroom experiment.

Parents feel pressured into looking at private school options Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Erin Hansen is one of the many B.C. parents scrambling to figure out what to do if teachers don’t go back to work on Tuesday. Her seven-year-old is too old for daycare, but too young to stay home alone. Given that she’s a single mom, the financial burden of that new demand isn’t easy to bear. “You got to do what you’ve got to do,” she said. “I’ve taken off work, but that’s not the best thing.” To lessen the load, she and some other mothers in similar positions are planning to take turns taking time off work, “spreading around” childcare duties. “It’s very frustrating,” she said. Her frustration, however, is with the government. Hansen is decidedly pro-teacher when it comes to the ongoing labour battle because she’s seen first-hand what it’s like in a classroom where needs outstrip resources. In fact, her son is one of those who struggles in a classroom environment with a motor speech disorder called childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). “Children with CAS have problems saying sounds, syllables, and words. This is not because of muscle weakness or paralysis…The child knows what he or she wants to

didn’t have a job here that I loved, I’d consider moving.” While Hansen considers leaving the province, countless other parents are looking into the independent school system. As the strike got underway last spring, one “self employed” mother waiting for her child outside Watson Road Elementary School noted that she’s been seriously thinking about other options. “I know parents need to keep in mind that school is not a daycare, but this is certainly inconvenient,” she said. She also had questions about the validity of the union, noting that it was a divisive organization seemingly out of step with the times. “This isn’t even a time where job security exists, anymore,” she said. Ultimately, she said, the whole thing has made her seriously consider enrolling her children in private school. Private schools, she said, would offer consistency as they’re shielded from the regular upheaval between the province and the teachers union. The Federation of Independent Schools has reported a marked increase in inquiries, a trend the organization has seen during previous job action. Details about private school enrolment levels won’t be available until after school commences.

say, but his/her brain has difficulty coordinating the muscle movements necessary to say those words,” according to the American Speech Language Hearing Association. Despite those challenges, he’s been streamed into a normal classroom environment, with no extra help. “Frankly, because there are lots of kids in the schools who need the help, there’s not enough funding for it,” she said. “We were told that by the school board.” Hansen, however, didn’t give up when the school board said no. She went to her paediatrician who had her son diagnosed in the medical system. She can’t get medical help, as funding for his disorder ends at age five, but the diagnosis will put him in line for help in the schools this year. “Whenever (funding for an educational assistant) comes through, he may get one,” she said. “But without money, they don’t get one.” It’s upsetting to see her child struggle without the help he needs, she said. Especially because she knows he’d be getting more support if her home was one province away. “In Alberta, he’d get that funding right away,” she said. “The school system out there, they put special needs first. They have large classrooms, but they have supports. If I

“You look at that and think, ‘Wow, this school is so well funded,’ but it’s not that the school is well funded. It’s that the parents have kicked in,” he said. “That’s great for them, but it creates the illusion that the government is paying for the technology, the smart boards, etc. when it’s actually B.C. parents or teachers paying for the resources.” It’s the early stages of a two-tier school system, and the reason why the teachers gathered on the picket line said they are

not giving in to the government. It’s not, he said, about wages. Reports indicated that both sides of the current labour dispute are close on the matter of earnings and teachers on the picket lines seemed relatively at ease with that development. “We’re not paid terribly. We’re not underpaid, our raises aren’t the same as inflation and our buying power is much less than it was, but it’s not terrible,” he said, noting that he left a job up north to follow his less lucrative passion for teaching, and he’s OK with that

choice. Others there pointed out that they do it for the students. “We’re here for class size and composition,” said Vicente. “And more money for these children. I’m not sitting around here for me. “I’m losing money for other children and fighting for my kid too, who has issues learning and who doesn’t have the help.” It’s been indicated that the two sides remain millions of dollars apart on benefits and class size and composition, with the government offering to continue its existing

Learning Improvement Fund, which amounts to $75 million annually, compared to the BCTF’s proposal for a $225 million annual fund on class size and composition. That $225 million would be primarily used to hire additional teachers and support staff. It’s still unclear how the two sides will find common ground, but it is possible that teachers will be able to return to their classrooms. Education Minister Peter Fassbender issued a statement Thursday asking the union to consult teachers in the coming days about the possibility of putting the strike on hold if the two sides agree to enter into mediation. A day earlier, Fassbender asked the federation and the BC Public School Employers’ Association, which bargains on behalf of the government, to suspend any strikes or lockouts for two weeks while agreeing to mediation. Fassbender said that would require teachers to agree to delay dealing with potentially expensive contract grievances linked to a recent court case. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ WESTLAKE ROAD

Traffic safety measures adopted If children are heading back to school on Tuesday, West Kelowna streets will be active with pedestrians, cyclists and motorists around school zones. So West Kelowna RCMP and bylaw enforcement officers will be conducting traffic safety and parking blitzes in school zones if school starts up on schedule. Construction continues on Westlake Road, a main route to the new Mar Jok Elementary School in Rose Valley. Motorists heading to Mar Jok are reminded to use the detour route via McDougall Road until Westlake Road is fully open in October. Pedestrians can use McDougall Road or, if coming from the Caledonia subdivision, can take a pedestrian walkway up through the neighbourhood to access Westlake Road above the construction zone via Sunview Drive. A new pedestrian crossing light has been installed at the intersection of Rosewood Drive and

Westlake Road. TT Contracting Ltd., Westlake Road construction contractor, has established a process to escort school children before and after school through the construction zone if that route is preferred. Students will be met by escorts at the corner of Caledonia Way in the morning and at Rosewood Drive in the afternoon. RCMP will be ticketing speeders and watching for distracted drivers to remind the public of the importance of road safety in and around all schools. West Kelowna bylaw enforcement officers will be watching for parking violations. Special attention is being given to school zones, where children will be walking and cycling each weekday, as the start of school often brings traffic congestion and inappropriate parking in these areas. The speed limit through school zones is typically 30 kilometres per hour from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., on school days, un-

less otherwise posted. The limit remains in effect until a sign on the opposite end of the school zone indicates it ends. Drivers are also reminded that when a school bus turns on its flashing red lights, vehicles in all lanes, in both

directions, must stop. Drivers should be aware that older students may use public transit, and motorists need to slow down around buses and watch for pedestrians that may be walking out into the street in front of or behind a stopped bus.

NEWS ▼ HAITI PROJECT

Kelowna dentists help Haitian orphans Two Kelowna dentists are putting out a call for help to raise nearly $22,000 to ship a container filled with classroom materials, clinic supplies and even two tractors to a self-sustaining children’s village in Haiti. “I don’t think words can describe what it will mean to the children,” said Dr. Debra Matson-Visscher. She and her husband, Dr. Jonathan Visscher, partners at Kelowna dental clinic Okanagan Smiles, have been a big part of New Reality International’s (NRI) mission to build and raise money for Project 7—a sustainable safe haven for near-

ly 100 orphans in Trou du Nord, Haiti. In the last year, the first home was built where 24 orphans already live with surrogate parents, and a second home is under construction. Meantime, the Visschers have been busy collecting supplies to help make the village self-sustaining and give the children the tools to learn trades and build a future. Dozens of Kelowna dentists, doctors, businesses, organizations and the school district have helped to fill a 40-foot long container with donated supplies—sewing machines, mattresses, French textbooks, desks, tools

for the mechanics and woodworking shop, instruments such as organs and trumpets, supplies for a future medical/dental clinic and chapel, and even two small tractors to help till land for growing food. “The supplies in the container are going to give these kids a chance to get an education and learn skills so they can have a future outside of poverty and support their own families,” said Matson-Visscher. “It also means we’ll be able to bring doctors and dentists to the clinic, and the whole community will benefit from that.” Throughout construc-

tion of the Project 7 property, which includes a security wall that will surround solar-powered homes, solar-pumped wells and a garden already growing corn, lettuce and papayas, NRI was able to employ more than 200 local Haitians. “It’s really given them a sense of ownership and something to take pride in,” said Visscher. He visited Project 7 as the stakes were going in the ground for the first children’s home as part of Phase 1. Phase 2 will see the second children’s home being completed, irrigation for crops, and the cargo container arriving

to outfit Phase 3 buildings—a third children’s home, a chapel, a vocational centre and a medical/dental clinic. “Everyone has been so generous about donating supplies and money for this project,” said Matson-Visscher. “Now we need to ask for the community to support us to get the container to Haiti so the children can enjoy and benefit from those supplies for years to come, even generations.” To learn more about Project 7 and to donate towards the shipping of the container, visit http:// www.newrealityinternational.org/#!donate/ c1ghi.

Workshop enhances UBCO student’s dream to be architect Barry Gerding EDITOR

A UBC Okanagan student’s passion for architecture led her to be invited to Pittsburgh this summer to participate in a unique workshop. Jenna Ratzlaff, 18, was chosen from about 500 applicants across North America to be one of 10 students to take part in the prestigious eightday workshop, held Aug. 1 to 8. “It was pretty exciting. I was one of two Canadians chosen, the other being from Toronto,” Ratzlaff said. “It was a very positive experience to be around a group of like-minded people who were all driven by a passion for architecture, and to work hard on the projects we were given to do. “It wasn’t just one or two people staying up until 2 a.m. working on a project, it was everyone

staying up until 2 a.m. It was a bonding thing for all of us to experience that together.” The trip to Pittsburgh was centred around a famous house designed by renowned U.S. architect Frank Lloyd Wright called Fallingwater. The name comes from the design of the house, which was built between 1936 and ’39 and is today a national US landmark. The skill-building workshops are designed to assist students seeking admission to architecture or design schools. Ratzlaff said Fallingwater was built over a waterfall, which was incorporated into the house design. “The waterfall acts as a cooling system throughout the whole house, and wherever you are in the house you can hear the water,” Ratzlaff said. She said the house was a unique attempt in its day to incorporate a building

into a natural landscape, a concept referred to today as environmental design. The concept conceived by Fallingwater’s original owners was to design a house in an urban setting that incorporated the outdoors feel of a cabin the woods. Ratzlaff, born and raised in Kelowna, said she initially learned about Fallingwater and the workshop in one of her fine arts classes at UBCO and decided to apply. “I had to write a cover letter, a 300-word essay about my current plans in architecture, a portfolio of my work and two letters of recommendation,” she said. Besides an extensive tour of the historic house, the workshop participants were taken on tours of other historic architecture around Pittsburgh, made a visit to Carnegie Mellon University, a private research facility recognized for its work in world-class

arts and technology programs, and were given architecture design projects to work on under the close supervision of a university architecture professor. Ratzlaff hopes her Fallingwater experience will help her chances to be accepted into the environmental design arts program at the Point Grey campus of UBC next year, and then on to architecture school. Ratzlaff, known to many for her prowess on the local beach volleyball tournament circuit, said her passion for architecture developed from her childhood interests in math, working with numbers, and creative drawing. “For me, architecture is a kind of perfect mix for that and developed into a passion for me,” she said. Her experience in Pittsburgh only served to whet her appetite to pursue it as a career.

“It gave me the opportunity to understand better what architecture school

is like and what areas I would like to work in once I graduate and be-

come an architect. I really enjoyed it.” bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

SPCA fundraiser set for City Park Some animals never know kindness. The good news is, you can fight animal cruelty in your community. Local residents can join their business community and help put an end to animal cruelty. The BC SPCA invites the public to join London Drugs and Quality Greens in their efforts to help raise money for this year’s Scotiabank and BC SPCA Paws for a Cause Walk to Fight Animal Cruelty fundraiser. This signature provincial event will be held in 36 communities around the province on Sunday, Sept. 7, including in Kelowna at City Park. The event’s main objective is to bring animal cruelty to the forefront and encourage everyone to help the SPCA raise funds for local domestic, farm and wild animals. Whether your passion is dogs, cats, horses or birds, the SPCA says they need our help. London Drugs stores have partnered with the SPCA as well as Quality Greens in Vernon, Kelowna, West Kelowna, and Penticton to boost the money raised for this event. For the month of August, your local Quality Greens will be selling dog biscuits while both businesses will be asking for donations at the till, with all proceeds going to the local SPCA shelters to help care for our abandoned, abused and unwanted animals. The fundraiser includes a one or three kilometer walk, Kids Zone for face painting, bouncy castle, the Paws Parlour, a BarBQ, and special guests, The RCMP canine unit. “This is the largest single event to help fight animal cruelty in British Columbia,” said Heather Harrison, regional fundraising coordinator at the BC SPCA. “We are overwhelmed by the amazing participation each year—it’s so great to see thousands of people come together across the province to help B.C.’s most vulner-

Open letter to Capital News cartoonist: Perhaps you thought your cartoon in the Aug. 26 Capital News was funny. I did not. It depicted a “little old lady” with a small dog talking to a police officer. The officer was in full emergency response team gear, and an armoured personnel vehicle was in the background. She said: “Speaking of really scary people out there, have you looked in a mirror lately?” I find your caricatures and humour utterly disrespectful of the police officers in North America who put their lives on the line daily to protect ignorant fools such as yourself. If anyone encounters an emergency response officer and an armoured vehicle, they had best run and hide because there is a serious threat out there. It is not a Halloween costume. The officers and equipment are there to take care of business. I had numerous experiences with these situations as a police supervisor in Portland, Oregon. In one case, the “scary officers,” complete

he month-long Agricultural Land Commission consultation closed Aug. 22, and the B.C. government is compiling the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invitation to comment. I can’t tell you much about the official input. The consultation sessions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the submissions via website are also not public. I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was traveling around B.C. with his camper van, conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much either, except that a summary of the findings should be made public in September as the

government considers new regulations. The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior, Kootenay and Tom North regions, as well Fletcher as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on farmland. Also under consideration is allowing breweries and distilleries, as wine and cider production are now allowed, and relaxing rules to permit more off-farm products to be sold from farms. Letnick defended the 30-day summer consultation as adequate. It’s based on 11 questions developed with staff, farm groups and local government. He’s also not counting how many emails were stacked up by proponents

or critics. “I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m trying to do is come up with the best balance of recommendations to make to government that can hold their own based on the idea and the potential positive and negative consequences.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham was more forthcoming. She was invited to the formal sessions, and also won’t talk about them directly. But she’s not backing away from her criticisms. The government is proposing to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for several kinds of decisions, including subdivision for family use or into properties of 160 acres or more. “I think the general idea was that people trust the ALC to make that decision, and it should still go through

the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commission has been making those decisions anyway, and I think they’ve been quite fair when somebody applies.” She said farmers also aren’t sold on the notion of easing the rules for secondary businesses. “You will already find situations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or something like that attached to somebody’s residence who lives on ALR land,” Popham said. “That sort of stuff has been allowed, but it’s always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. This leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.” She noted that non-farm activ-

Lower Mission Creek restoration project To the editor: A big thank-you for the comprehensive article you published about the Mission Creek Restoration Initiative (MCRI) in the July 25th Capital News. We really appreciate your help in getting the word out about this unique and very special project, and look forward to providing you and your readers with updates as the initiative unfolds. MCRI is a multi-stakeholder partnership formed

in 2002 to restore natural functions to the lower 11 kilometres of Mission Creek. Project partners include Fisheries and Oceans Canada; BC Ministry of Agriculture; BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations; Regional District of Central Okanagan; City of Kelowna; Okanagan Nation Alliance; Westbank First Nation; Friends of Mission Creek; and Central Okanagan Land Trust.

The MCRI vision is “restoring and protecting Mission Creek to enrich historical, ecological, and recreational values for the Okanagan.” To that end, the multi-year project will restore fish and wildlife stocks and habitat, conserve and expand biodiversity and protect species at risk, improve flood protection, and inspire and support community stewardship. Another key objective is to nurture partnerships and

secure funds that support creek restoration. Phase 1 of the project—on the south side of the creek between the Casorso Road and Gordon Drive bridges—is underway and includes property acquisition, baseline biophysical inventory, dike design and reconstruction, habitat restoration, and ongoing monitoring. We will introduce the design concept to the public next year, and then plan to start construc-

tion in 2016. For more info about MCRI, and how you can help support it, visit www. missioncreek.ca and/or join us at the Kokanee Salmon Festival on Sept. 21 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Mission Creek Regional Park by the EECO Centre.

portant government services. But then Tea Party ideology creeps in. When we give more money to government, we’re less free in our spending decisions, they say, and more dependent on big government, they imply. Progressive economist Iglika Ivanova has wasted no time in unpacking these claims. First, she notes that 1961 was over half a century ago, “before the time of universal health care that we all benefit from, before the Canada Pension Plan and the Guaranteed Income Supplement that hugely reduced poverty for seniors, before the Canada Child Tax Benefit which is helping

lower child poverty.” It stands to reason that we might pay more today than we did back then. Second, the Fraser Institute has “misleadingly” included all business taxes, import duties and resource royalties in the tax bill of the average family. Many business taxes are paid by foreigners through export taxes, while the majority are paid by Canadian shareholders. Including all these business taxes has grossly overestimated the tax bill of an average Canadian family. Third, Ivanova has found that taxes did rise as a share of family income in the 1960s, and again between 1975 and 1985.

But they’ve been cut significantly since 1999, and today are lower than they were 30 years ago. In making its claims, numerous are the facts that the Fraser Institute has ignored. A 2012 national survey showed that rather than being worried silly about taxation, the majority of respondents, whether Conservative, Liberal, NDP or Green, would pay even higher taxes if that’s what it would take to protect our social programs…. A full 83 per cent of respondents were also in favour of increasing income taxes for the wealthiest Canadians. Wealthy Canadians were just as supportive of this propos-

al as poorer ones. A friend recently wrote, as corporate taxation is reduced, the burden of paying for social programs, infrastructure, defence, etc., falls upon the back of the individual taxpayer. Instead of going after corporate welfare, we’re encouraged to attack those citizens who need the services and the workers and agencies that provide them. We’ve got to get better at spotlighting the real villains, he concluded. Dianne Varga, Kelowna For the full transcript of this letter to the editor, go to Opinion at www.kelownacapnews.com.

Offence taken at cartoon, Cap News poll question Police Business A10 with an armoured vehicle, extracted a subject from a house. He had killed one police officer whom I knew well. I had talked with her days before and she was so excited about her coming wedding, and honeymoon. She was marrying another officer, with whom I was friends. Yes, I went to that funeral. Colleen didn’t need to die. In another incident, officers responded to a mo-

bile home park, where a subject was randomly shooting off a pistol. Rounds were penetrating other residences. The SERT (Special Emergency Response Team) responded with their armoured personnel vehicle. The subject shot at the officers and vehicle numerous times. A SERT sniper was called to duty, and ended the problem from about a quarter of a mile away. The best ending? Probably not. A ne-

cessary action to preserve innocent lives and public safety? Most assuredly it was. Let’s bring it closer to home. The on-line poll that accompanied the cartoon asked: “Do you think that the militarization of police in the US is something that police departments in Canada should adopt?” How overly simplistic could this get? How about the Montcon tragedy, where three RCMP officers gave their

lives? Mr. Cartoonist, did you attend the funeral ceremonies at our local church? No, I didn’t think so. Well I did. I heard the stories about three dedicated officers who were struck down in the course of doing their jobs, protecting the likes of you. The police brotherhood/sisterhood spans border, and, retired or active, we all know what it is like. We have been there. Perhaps if they had an emergency response team

Fraser Institute uses stats for ‘Tea Party ideology’ To the editor: A new Fraser Institute report claims that since 1961, the tax bill for Canadians has shot up 147 per cent. The Institute’s analysts are now flogging the report across the nation – probably in eager anticipation of Harper’s promised tax cuts in the coming election year. Both “visible and hidden” taxes—including income taxes, payroll, health, sales, property, profit, fuel taxes, vehicle, import, alcohol and tobacco taxes, and others— chew up 41.8 per cent of a family’s income, according to the right-wing think tank. Sure, the analysts admit, taxes help fund im-

Non-farm businesses ‘grow’ Express yourself Fletcher from A10

ities have a way of growing until they become the main business. A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He said “not one” participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity such as

food processing or retailing. And he agreed with Popham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications. Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery, and the conversion needed only local government approval because the production facility was already considered and taxed as light

industrial. Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland. Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Banker tackles gruelling cycle course for heart and stroke initiative In late July, Kelowna resident Grant Fletcher, a senior account manager at Valley First Credit Union, completed a gruelling course that saw him cycle from Kelowna through to the Gulf Islands. Fletcher hit the road aboard his bicycle in memory of his long-time friend Margaret Moore, who passed away unexpectedly over a year ago due to heart failure. His trip, aptly named Coffee with Margaret, has raised $10,000 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation. What began as an offhand remark made on his 60th birthday turned into a five-year commitment for Fletcher. 2009 marked the 10th anniversary for the Cops for Kids Ride, an annual 1,000 km bike ride that raises much needed funds to assist children in crisis. As one of the founding board members for this annual fundraiser, Fletcher decided he wanted to participate in the ride in honour of this milestone anniversary and his birthday. Since then, Fletcher has cycled over 10,000 km in training for the more than 2,000 km of official riding distances he has participated in, and remarkably, he has raised more than $45,000 for various charitable causes

For Fletcher, this year’s ride proved to be both challenging and rewarding. “Despite hitting terrible weather on the Connector and Coquihalla, getting a flat tire in the process and having to cut the ride short on Day One due to unsafe riding conditions, Day Two turned out to be much better as it was a smooth ride from Hope to Tsawwassen,” he

NEWS ▼ HAVEN FOR SENIORS

Local support networks makes Kelowna a mecca for retirees

o matter your age, but especially as one gets older, staying informed, being engaged and keeping active in your community is vital for one’s general well-being. It also keeps our communities healthy and vibrant. It was an honour to host Alice Wong, the minister of state for seniors, earlier this month and take her on a tour of some of our local seniors’ centres, introduce her to the folks in our community who are dedicated to working daily with our seniors, many on a volunteer basis. The quality of volunteers and the excellent leadership within our organizations is impressive and it reinforces why the Okanagan is such a wonderful place for seniors to live. Thanks to the hospitality and great work of

MP’S REPORT

Ron Cannan Kelowna Community Resources, Wong and I had a chance to sit down at a roundtable and chat with representatives of various local organizations who work hard every day to make our community safe, fun and livable. The discussion focused on a number of topics including seniors in isolation, helping groups work with local and provincial governments to provide better transportation systems, and the challenges/best practices for keeping seniors, active, engaged and informed. The minister and I were able to draw attention to the New Horizons

cial isolation affects seniors and exploring ways to prevent and reduce the social isolation of seniors in Canada. Information on the council’s activities can be found at seniorscouncil. gc.ca. The value of roundtables like the one held in Kelowna can’t be underestimated. Such gatherings provide the opportunity to build relationships between different organizations enabling them to find ways they can work together and share best practices. Wong has visited more than 150 ridings and has been listening to folks from all over the country. She consistently hears the message that there is a strong correlation between health and getting out into your community and keeping active. I encourage anyone with an interest in issues

related to seniors to access the extensive information available at seniors.gc.ca. If you need to access resources from any level of government, want to know what benefits you are entitled to, or need more information on issues which affect the wellbeing of seniors, this is a great resource.

caused by dehydration, muscle strain, or holding a position for a prolonged period of time. In many cases, the cause of a muscle cramp isn’t known. Or, they may be caused by certain medications or related to an underlying medical condition such as arteriosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries) in the arteries that deliver blood to the legs, causing leg or foot cramps while exercising; compression of the nerves in the spine (lumbar stenosis); or mineral depletion such as a shortage of potassium, calcium, or magnesium due to diet or medications. Muscle cramps can also be due to certain conditions such as kidney, thyroid, nerve, or hormone disorders, diabetes, hypoglycemia and anemia. Muscle cramps usually disappear on their own and can be treated with self-care measures such as stretching and massaging the muscle and applying warmth to it. However, for some people, muscle cramps can be an ongoing problem, and can be very dif-

ficult to live with, interfering with sleep or daily routines. Acupuncture is an effective option for relieving and resolving muscle cramps. Muscle cramps are typically a sign that there is a blockage of blood and energy flowing to an area of the body. When this happens, it causes that area to become weak and less able to perform properly, making the area more vulnerable to injury, over-fatigue and pain. In addition, in Chinese medicine, the liver and gallbladder meridians are responsible for nourishing the tendons and ligaments of the body. If there is an imbalance in these organs or if they are not functioning properly, muscle cramps can be one of the resulting symptoms. Acupuncture treatment for muscle cramps will typically involve restoring the liver energy flow and treating any problems with the way that it is functioning. By addressing the underlying health conditions or imbalances that may be contributing to

Acupuncture can help to increase blood circulation, relieve muscle spasms, and relax the body, and the results are usually quite immediate. This makes it a very effective option for treating muscle cramps. With continued treatments, acupuncture can help to improve the body’s health and functioning, so that it is better able to perform and less prone to muscle cramps. In this way,it offers not only relief but also resolution of the problem.

Liz Wylie immediately immersed in a foreign environment as soon as they enter the exhibition space. Not only are the walls filled end-toend with works of art depicting street scenes in a poor, traditional neighbourhood in Beijing, but some of the compositional elements have moved off the walls and out into the viewer’s space, and there is also a video with footage of some of the residents speaking. All in all, the immersive experience may call to mind the 1982 Ridley Scott movie, Blade Runner, with the gallery viewer in the role of Harrison Ford’s Deckard, as we survey the street vendor’s food stands and array of merchandise, and general human activity, all in a built environment that seems to be somewhat de-

Also, as one gallery member pointed out to me, the painted and collaged panels that are on old music stands, and on small wooden platforms on the floor extending into the viewers’ space, look decidedly like big

mahjong tiles. Siegner, originally and over decades a printmaker, turned largely to digital photography for this work, but mixed this with hand-drawn and painted images. At times the photographic im-

ages were output onto a sticky material that is adhered either directly to the gallery walls, or onto the Chinese scrolls. Siegner has made four visits to China since 2009, staying in the small, village-like Beijing neigh-

bourhood called Fei Jia Cun. Using interpreters, he was able to befriend the local residents and they agreed to let him photograph them as they went about their daily lives. Intriguingly, the art-

Notions of time, memory, and how our observations anywhere alter and shift, are all referred to by the artist’s focus on certain elements in each shot, and the blurring of others. Siegner’s background as a printmaker comes through in the visual layering of his imagery in some pieces, even with the silk ties that dangle over the image areas from the tops of the scrolls. Our overall impressions are built up from multiple fragments and elements as we take in the various aspects of the exhibition, which, after all, we come to realize, is a multivalent installation, not a show of separate, discrete works.

CONCERT

Kelowna will launch the “It’s All Good” tour for the Andidos Cerveza, a 25-piece orchestral classic and Latin rock band. This unique musical production will be helping to support organizations like the SPCA and The Humane Society to bring awareness and assist in raising funds to help abandoned, abused, neglected and unwanted animals find their new forever homes. Ken Hartfield, the Andidos Cerveza director, composer and music arranger, is the music mastermind behind this concert tour. His idea is to belnd some of the popular classic rock songs of our time with strings, percussion and brass instruments. The resulting work is simply breathtaking as it provides a completely

new feel and dimension while keeping the original feel, musical hooks and themes that initially made these songs so popular. Hartfield’s musical background includes working with singers Tom Jones, Tanya Tucker, Bobby Vinton and others. The concert takes place at Kelowna Community Theatre on Sept.19, 8 p.m. Tickets are available at Select Your Tickets.

VARIETY SHOW

The Pig & Whistle show makes a return to the TKS Black Box Theatre fall lineup after an absence of nearly 10 years. Based loosely on the successful Canadian TV series that ran from 1967 to 1977, it will be an evening of non-stop music and fun. The setting is a traditional English pub and many of the songs will have a British flavour. There will be many

opportunities for the audience to sing along and join the fun with a live band. The show is written and directed by Jeff Samin. Featured in the cast are TKS regulars Robin Jarman, Roger Ward and Corinne Marks along with newcomers Pamela Renzi, Jennifer Turner and Judy Dow. The band members are Sylvia Clerk, Jim Rhindress and Rob Crawford. Evening shows are at 7:30 p.m., Sept. 17 to Oct. 5 (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday) with matinees Sunday only at 2 p.m. Tickets available online at selectyourtickets. com or the Prospera Place Box Office, 250-7625050.

Shhhhh…”—that’s a heads up for those who may wonder what the dashes mean later in this column. I figure if I do it this way I’ll avoid shocking sensitive readers who might be offended by “dirty words” being spelled out in print. No, I am not going to unleash a tirade of thinly disguised profanity to express my displeasure with yet another ICBC rate increase, that said in the context of ICBC having been profitable last year and the prediction of profitability again this year. I’ll leave that tirade to New Democrat MLA Mabel Elmore and others who point the blame for the increase on a provincial government that continues to take money from ICBC to put into general revenue. I am actually quite pleased with ICBC for a change. Finally, the blame for ICBC rates is being placed squarely where it belongs.

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott ICBC spokesperson Adam Grossman is saying there’s a direct correlation between an increase in injury claims (which leads to an increase in insurance rates) and the rising number of people using electronic devices while driving. “Distracted driving has now increased as the second leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C.,” Grossman said. “It’s actually the leading cause of rear-end crashes, which result in injuries.” No kidding. The failure to pay attention to the road ahead of you is the overwhelming cause of car crashes—period, full stop, end of story. That reality is the

basis for my “One Crash is Too Many” road safety campaign. It’s why the RCMP purposefully call them motor vehicle “incidents,” not “accidents.” It’s no accident when a collision occurs because you fail to pay attention to the road ahead of you. Of course there is a correlation between increasing collisions and the increasing use of electronic devices while driving. Don’t let the use of electronic devices distract us from the root problem, though. If we managed to prohibit the use of electronic devices while driving, while we would have fewer car crashes, we’d still have them. There were plenty of car crashes occurring before handheld electronic devices were invented. To somehow eliminate daydreaming and absentmindedness while driving; now that would make a real difference. Government coffers would be overflowing

with ICBC profits if we managed to do that. But to achieve that would require a shift in driving attitudes from one of absent-minded complacency to one of focused attention. Have you heard of “*#it Parkers of Kelowna?” There is a website, as well as a Facebook page, where you can submit photos of vehicles parked in all sorts of horrendous ways—blocking sidewalks and fire hydrants, improperly parking in handicap spots, taking more than one parking space, etc. The more aware we are about this website, the more aware we will be about the possibility that we will be called out publicly and shamed if we “*#it park” and a photo of our vehicle ends up on the website. We also become more aware about how we and others park generally, keeping an eye out for those “*#it parkers” among us. I am willing to bet that the website is actually changing parking attitudes and behaviours. I wonder if driving attitudes and behaviours could change if that website concept was extended beyond parking to include people driving while using electronic devices. If pedestrians or vehicle passengers could post smartphone photos of drivers with cell phones to their ears, for example, might that have a similar, positive impact? Might drivers feel shamed into keeping their hand-held devices tucked away? What about photographs of every rear-ending driver and vehicle? Clearly, the risk of having to pay an insurance deductible and the risk of causing/sustaining injury isn’t enough to cause drivers to pay attention. Might the risk of public shame do the trick? With a crash in Kelowna alone occurring an average of 23 times per day, we could use a good dose of public shaming.

Five student-worthy cars under 10 grand

Jeep Patriot.

Finding five used cars under ten grand doesn’t sound like too big a challenge, until a “for a college student” stipulation is added. In my mind, this adds a few requirements as the car has to be, easy on fuel, reliable, easy to park, good on gas, thrives on abuse, room for friends, room for a bike and camping gear, super fuel efficient ... and look good! So, bearing in mind the last requirement is a

highly subjective one and ignoring the (no brainer) most popular car in Canada (Honda Civic), here are five vehicle suggestions – in no particular order: Pontiac Vibe (2010 or older): Although the Pontiac Vibe looks different, you also know this compact 4-door hatchback as the Toyota Matrix. A joint (GM/ Toyota) production venture ended with the 2010 model year, as did the Pontiac brand. The resale value of a Vibe is generally lower than a same year/condition Matrix, or conversely, you may be able to buy a newer/ lower mileage Vibe. The ’09 Vibe was a second generation redesign and a slightly bigger model that came in front-drive and allwheel-drive editions, and in base and GT trim levels. The base engine is a gas-miser 1.8-litre (132 horsepower) and a 2.4-litre (158 horsepower) engine comes in the AWD and GT models. Fuel consumption (1.8L/ FWD): 8.0/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway)

Honda Fit (2010 or older): The Honda Fit is a small, but taller, 4-door hatchback that was introduced for the 2007 model year and came in DX, LX and Sport trim levels. Its seats can be reconfigured in an amazing variety of ways and there’s even a couch/bed recliner position. The 2009 model was a second generation redesign with a more powerful 117 horsepower (up from 109-horsepower) 1.5-litre engine that’s mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or optional five-speed automatic. In the Sport edition, this automatic also comes with paddle shift gear selection at the steering wheel. Fuel consumption (1.5L/ FWD): 7.1/5.5 L/100 km (city/highway) Jeep Patriot (2010 or older): The Patriot could also be called “Jeep Light”, as it’s an affordable, compact yet capable SUV/wagon that’s surprisingly fuel-efficient. Available in both front-drive and four-wheel-drive configurations, Jeep launched Patriot for the 2007 model year and it’s a good match of an active lifestyle young

person that enjoys the outdoors. Patriot came in Sport, North and Limited trim levels and the base engine is a 2.0-litre that can produce 158-horsepower and 2.4-litre that can produce 172 horsepower is the upgrade. The transmissions offered were a 5-speed manual transmission or a fuel-efficient CVT (continuously variable transmission) automatic. If serious 4-wheeling is contemplated look for models with a trail-rated Freedom II off-road package that adds protective skid plates, etc. The down-side is increased weight and higher fuel consumption.

The extra head and leg room provided make it a very good match for a taller or bigger than average young person. Versa offers seating for four (squeeze five) full-sized adults and extra-large rear passenger doors also make getting in or out easier. The lower-priced sedan comes with a 1.6-litre (107-horsepower) engine and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. The hatchback comes with a 1.8-litre (122-horsepower) engine and a 6-speed manual, 4-speed automatic or a CVT automatic. Prior to 2010, a base Versa didn’t come with ABS (anti-lock braking system), and electronic stability control wasn’t even offered as an option. Its electronic-assist steering has an extra-light feel and it can turn on a (10.4 m) dime, making Versa an easy vehicle to park.

in Canada. The four-door sedan editions of this Mazda3 come with (148-horsepower) 2.0-litre engine and in GX and GS trim levels. Sedan GT and (hatchback) Mazda3 Sport come in GS and GT trim levels and with a (156-horsepower) 2.3-litre engine, with more torque at lower engine speeds. A height adjustable, good supporting driver’s seat plus a standard tilt and telescopic steering column make the Mazda3’s driving position particularly praiseworthy. It definitely offers the best driving experience, but popularity also makes Mazda3 the priciest pick of this group.

scenery changes, it made me proud to live in such a spectacular place. OK, I was a lot proud. Whether driving surrounded by lush, emerald vegetation, desert or engulfed in mountain, there was no shortage of ocular stimulation in our 360 view. Furthermore, the GTI is no sleeper either. In fact, it’s

probably my favourite VW on the market. And it got a lot better for 2015. Now in its seventh generation, it’s lighter than Golf Mk6, bigger, more fuel efficient, more powerful, and just more awesome. For a starting MSRP of $27,995, you get the updated 2.0L, TSI turbocharged engine, which now boasts 210 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque. The cabin is also roomier, thanks to its augmented dimensions. While the overnight trip didn’t warrant filling the 645L cargo area to the brim, it’s nice to know you could bring a car-

load of people, along with their gear, and still have an enjoyable time. The GTI builds on its razor sharp handling, improves the suspension and allows the driver to still have a great time behind the wheel. Not to mention, the 6-speed manual gearbox – it also comes in a 6-speed DSG automatic – is as smooth in shifts as can be. Being stuck in city traffic isn’t ideal, but when you can rev the engine a little higher, wait to shift and breathe in the excitement of the turbocharged ponies, what more can you ask for? You could also ask for beautiful scenery. Check. Prior to Revelstoke, if you’re heading east, there’s 3 Valley Gap. It appears almost out of nowhere. Looking like a cross between a Swiss chalet – no, not the place where you get a quarter chicken dinner – and an establishment you might recall from a Stephen King novel, this building that has more than 200 rooms reflects effortlessly on the lake in front of it.

on the twisty roads. And even on the track. It can also be entertaining. With the promise of wildlife “for the next 3 km,” my driving partner and I eagerly anticipated the sighting of some sort of horned mammal. A mountain goat would do. We’d even be okay with a bear. But alas, no such luck. Not even with a jaunt through Banff National Park. That’s okay, the premium Fender audio system did a good job of distracting our melancholy thoughts from the lack of wildlife sightings to the musical stylings of rock and roll. As I slipped out of the plaid-clad seats, bid adieu to the shifter whose knob is likened to golf ball – how appropriate – and gave back the keys to the GTI, it was bittersweet. The adventure was fun, the surroundings breathtaking, and then mixing it with a car that has the complete package? Now that’s a road trip to remember.

Gorges excited for ‘new chapter’ with Sabres

Warren Henderson

STAFF REPORTER

Looking down at his chest and seeing a buffalo and two sabres instead of the world-famous logo of the Montreal Canadiens will admittedly take a little getting used to. Still, with the shock of this summer’s trade having long since worn off, Josh Gorges insists he’s excited and ready to move on with the next WHAT’S GETTING phase of his NHL ME EXCITED TO career. PLAY IS THAT BeTHEY’RE ALL tween GREAT PEOPLE. management, AND THAT’S WHAT coaching YOU WANT TO BE staff and INVOLVED IN… players alJosh Gorges ready in place in Buffalo, the former Kelowna Rockets’ captain said there are multiple reasons to be optimistic about his new job with the Sabres. “There are a lot of great guys in Buffalo, I know a few of the players already, and I’m looking forward to starting a new chapter and a new challenge along with them,” Gorges, 30, told the Capital News Wednesday, before practising with a group of pros at Prospera Place. “I’ve had good conversations with management, ownership, training staff, all those types of people and what’s getting me excited to play is that they’re all great people. And that’s what you want to be involved in, working with people that want to do the right thing.” The trade that sent the Kelowna native from the Canadiens to the Sabres on July 1 for a second-round draft pick in 2016 caught many off guard, no one more than Gorges himself. During his seven-plus seasons in Montreal, Gorges went through thick and thin with the Habs and didn’t feel like his entire story with the Canadiens’ had quite been completed. Then again, as Gorges knows, the

‘‘

For the Montreal goaltender, the feeling is clearly mutual. “(Josh) has been one of my closest friends and one of the key players on the team since I arrived there,” Price told the Capital News. “He has leader-type qualities that every team looks for. Obviously it’s a big loss for us, but we’ve got to move on and we wish him the best of luck in Buffalo. “I’ve seen a lot of good guys come and go in eight years and it never gets OBVIOUSLY IT’S A any easier,” addBIG LOSS FOR US, ed Price. BUT WE’VE GOT “This one TO MOVE ON AND is probWE WISH HIM THE ably the hardest BEST OF LUCK IN because BUFFALO. our wives Carey Price, are best Canadiens goalie friends, too. “Like I said, it is a reality of the hockey business.” And while Gorges is ready, willing and excited to move on, he said he’ll always value the seven-plus seasons he spent in the hockey-mad market of Montreal. “Montreal is always going to be a special place for me,” said Gorges, whose wife gave birth to their first child the summer. “I never really got my chance to be a player until I came to Montreal. A lot of ups, a lot of downs, a lot of experiences there…I loved my time there. It will always be a special place no matter what happens.” In the end, though—particularly when it comes to hockey—Gorges assures he’ll be looking solely ahead to Buffalo; not back to Montreal. “We’re a young team, a team with a lot of upside, a lot of potential,” he said of the Sabres. “Once we make that work, put the work boots on and play as a team, I think we have a lot of potential. I’m excited about it.” Gorges left Thursday for Montreal to pick up the remainder of his personal belongings, before heading to Buffalo for the start of Sabres’ training camp on Sept. 11.

‘‘

FORMER Kelowna Rockets’ captain Josh Gorges was skating at Prospera Place this week in preparation for his first training camp with the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres.

WARREN HENDERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

realities of the hockey business often take precedence over personal goals. “You never expect to be traded but you always know that there’s a chance,” said Gorges, who played 521 regular season and playoff games with the Canadiens. “You hope it never does happen to you, especially when you’re in the right situation like I was in Montreal. “It was shocking because of the

things that were going on there were great, the team was succeeding, we had a great playoff run,” he continued. “And when you start something like I did in Montreal, you want to see it through to the end…and that end is winning the cup with a team you’ve been a part of for so many years. But we understand it’s part of the business, you move on and make the best of it. Now I’ll go to Buffalo and do

everything I can to help that team be successful.” As much he treasures the successes and memories on the ice while in Montreal, Gorges said it’s largely the people he’s leaving behind that’s most regrettable. Longtime Canadiens’ teammate and close friend Carey Price is one of many people on the Habs’ Gorges will miss.

▼ PRE-SEASON

Rockets open exhibition season with home game Saturday

The Kelowna Rockets kick off the Western Hockey League exhibition schedule this weekend with a pair of games against WHL B.C. division rivals. The Rockets break training camp today (Friday) and will begin a six game exhibition schedule at home on Saturday night against the Kamloops Blazers. Rockets’ captain Madison Bowey says it’s been a great week at camp as team veterans hit the ice together for the first time since losing out in the WHL Western Conference final last spring. “It’s great to be back here with all the fellas,”

said Bowey, a Washington Capitals draft pick who will captain the Rockets for a second year. “Train-

ing camp has been very good so far. It’s been very competitive. Everyone is battling hard to make

the team. There are a few gaps we have to fill with a few guys who have left us from last year but I think we have some guys who are ready to step up and take on a bigger role.” The Rockets return as many as 17 players from last year’s team that set a club record for wins with 57 in the regular season. Myles Bell, Jordan Cooke and Marek Tvrdon have graduated from junior hockey while drafted players Damon Severson (New Jersey) and Ryan Olsen (Winnipeg) are expected to make the jump to the AHL or NHL. Nineteen-year-old Tyrell Goulbourne also has a chance to make the jump

to the pro circuit with the Philadelphia Flyers. Bowey says while several players will be gone, the team chemistry within the remaining group will be strong, as it has been the past couple of years. “Right away you can tell we’re all like broth-

ers,” he said of returning to Kelowna. “You can really see in the dressing room that we’re all clicking. It’s like we never left each other for two months. I think we’re ready to come together as a family and have a good year.”

The Rockets host Kamloops Saturday at Prospera Place before playing in Vancouver on Sunday as part of the exhibition season. Kelowna opens the regular season at home against Kamloops on Sept. 20.

Heading into his final of three runs at the 2014 Canadian National Wakeboard Championships in Balla, Ontario earlier this month, Lake Country’s Erik Schroeder had something up his sleeve. The 15 year old dynamo was competing in his first nationals in the junior men’s category (14 to 18 year olds) and was holding down first place through two runs. He was close to standing on top of the podium. But he wanted an exclamation point to earn the championship. So for his final of 10 tricks on the third run, Schroeder nailed a brand new jump for him, landing a trick called KGB, a back roll with a 360 degree turn. It was the first time he had tried it in competition and it was perfect. And it was the finale he needed to earn Schroeder the Canadian junior mens wakeboarding championship, qualifying him for the World Championships to be held in Fort Lauderdale next month. “I had landed it a couple of times in training before I left to go to the nationals,” said Schroeder this week. “That last day of competition I just felt I could land it. I was nervous going into the run like I usually am but I thought if I could land the KGB then I would probably win it.” And Schroeder did end up standing atop the

The World Championships will close the competitive wakeboarding season for Schroeder but his training will go non stop through the fall and winter as the soon to be Grade 10 student will be staying in Florida this winter where he will enroll in school and live with his wakeboard coach, focusing on continuing to develop in his sport. It will be the first year he will spend the entire off

season down south, after taking part in a two month camp in Florida in the past. It’s a big step but one Schroeder is ready for. “I’m a little nervous about switching schools, that’s the big thing,” he said. “But I’m really excited about it. It’s going improve my riding and give me a better chance of winning.” kparnell @kelownacapnews.com

Pain keeping you from the things you love? Neck pain? “I had been suffering with a painful neck and shoulder for almost four years following a car accident, also I was experiencing pain with my hand for a few weeks. Then I went for a few acupuncture treatments and I am happy to report that they have helped me greatly to have me free of pain.” ~ Beatrice, KELOWNA

Back pain? “I was having severe lower back pain. I saw my medical doctor and was given pain killers. I could only sleep 3 hours at a time, waking up in pain. I decided to try acupuncture as my father did 40 years ago and the results are way beyond my expectation. My pain is virtually gone and I am again enjoying life to its fullest.” ~ Ron, KELOWNA

Shoulder pain? “I’ve had a frozen shoulder for 7 months. I’ve

had 9 physiotherapy treatments then decided on acupuncture, which I’ve never had. I’ve had 7 treatments and my pain is gone, and I haven’t needed any more painkillers. Thank ~ B.M., KELOWNA you, James.”

This year’s version of the Okanagan Golf Club’s Molson Tour is in the books and it was a Molson Tour original player that took the top prize. Randy Ledyard emerged from a 32-man match play grid to win the coveted Molson Tour title in the gold side, beating Scott Hiller (3 and

ers and has grown to include over 100 players in the past five years. Using handicaps and the Stableford scoring system, players acquire points throughout the regular season before the match play playoffs take place. The OGC’s Quail course was the site of the finale.

A vacation gem discovered

eresa and I make the occasional brilliant decision and last week’s has to rank as one of our best. With little time and a limited budget (yet a desire to have a short, fun escape during her holiday) we found ourselves at the luxurious Harrison Hot Springs for two nights. Ironically we had been agonizing over deciding between either a quick trip to Ainsworth Hot Springs or an Osoyoos hotel on the lake. But due to a series of odd scenarios and a lazy, rude receptionist at one facility, we wound up doing neither. On a frustrated whim Tez asked if I had ever been to Harrison, and before I finished answering, “Not since I was a child,” she was already on their website. As luck would have it, Harrison was boasting a ‘two-night get away’ package and we jumped all over the idea like Tide on a dirty shirt. It’s amazing how long it seems to take to drive a short distance to a really, really neat place and yet it takes seemingly no time to drive back home when the holiday is done. I think it might have been the five different heated mineral pools that convinced me to give Harrison a try. Or it may have been the two breakfasts and one fancy dinner that was part of the package that got me. Either way, the hotel staff was amazing, especially young Sky Lock who treated us like royalty the entire time. I am not sure how I failed to visit Harrison before last week. I can guarantee that will not happen again. I am

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge still trying to get all tense and stressed again, but it’s just not happening. ••• On the trip home we found ourselves once again marvelling at the beauty and power of our B.C outdoors. How lucky are we to have such a magical and bountiful land with such diverse climates and matching flora and fauna? From the hundreds of acres of golden corn fields near Agassiz to the arid grasslands of Merritt, our entire adventure was highlighted by spectacular weather and awe-inspiring vistas. Tez and I made a commitment that our next holiday drive west would include a round-trip route through the ‘old’ Hope-Princeton adventure. As we meandered back through the amazing peaks and valleys of the Coquihalla Connector, we traversed a section of land that had been touched by fires. It reminded us again of the thousands of brave men and women who put their lives on the line to fight summer forest fires. Not only do they face the arduous task of packing heavy hoses and gear into blazing infernos, but they often do so in treacherous and nearly inaccessible wilderness. Along with paramedics and ambulance workers, firefighters rank as the most selfless superstars in my world.

••• It’s amazing how quick the mail can pile up when you are gone for a few days. I’m not talking about the snail-mail, I refer to emails. A true testimonial to the fact I enjoyed myself was while I did take my laptop computer with us, the device remained disconnected for all three days. First thing to catch my eye was a joyful message that Kelowna’s own Tia-Maria Soroskie is having a dream come true this week. From Aug. 29 to Sept. 7, Tia is one of six featured artists taking part in a prestigious artist exhibition at Dacia Gallery in New York City. Promotion for the show describes Tia thus: “Tia is a Canadian drawing and installation artist who creates work based on the female body and how the female body occupies space; explores, deconstructs and reconstructs the female gender; and examines gender implications regarding expectations, as well as issues of domesticity and femininity. Tia-Maria received a Master’s of Fine Arts diploma in 2005 at Washington State University…She has held positions as drawing area coordinator, and instructor of record of drawing and classical figure drawing courses in the Department of Fine Arts at Washington State University. She has a professional and progressive exhibition record that includes a solo exhibition in Kelowna

at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, a group show at the Woman Made Gallery in Chicago, and more recently, group shows in Sibiu, Romania, and in New York City through Dacia Gallery. Tia-Maria…will be an Artist-In-Residence in October 2014 at DRAWinterational in Caylus, France.’’ Wow! And I just thought she was a smiley face at the board table of the Bridge Youth and Family Services. ••• On a sadder note, long time Kelowna folks will be saddened to hear that former resident Gordon Bromley has died. For many years, Gord happily ran The Music Box, a funky tiny music store downtown, and later the Ticket Centre. Childhood friend (and Gord’s youngest son) Doug wrote: “It’s probably been awhile (about 45 years), since you heard from one of your old line mates from minor hockey…but thought you might want to know that Gord passed away just shy of his 94th birthday. “He always said that his move to Kelowna was one of the best he ever made, and he loved the fact that he was there during the city’s ‘formative’ years. “We were the lucky beneficiaries of his decision to grow up in what was, at that time, an amazing little town...” charliehodge333@gmail.com

▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Trunk Sale helping to promote concept of reuse and recycle Do you have stuff that you would like to sell at a garage sale, but can’t host one of your own? Then you’ll want to take part in the latest Trunk Sale at Okanagan College on Saturday, Sept. 27 Organized by the Regional Waste Reduction Office, the event promotes reuse and recycling, with one huge garage sale in the college parking lot off KLO Road from 8 a.m. until noon. “Think of this as a giant yard sale on wheels,” said Rae Stewart, waste reduction facilitator with the regional district. “It’s a great opportunity to get your pre-loved stuff into the hands of someone else that could use it. Our trunk sales are all about reuse, bargains, and less ending up in the landfill.” Stewart called it an opportunity for people who wouldn’t normally be able to host their own garage or yard sale, those who live in condos, apartments, or simply have no yard. “But it’s not limited in that way, so everyone’s welcome to take part,” she added. Stewart noted previous sales have been hugely popular, with spots for sellers filling up quickly, so you’re encouraged to pre-register early. “Just as the name suggests, you do the selling

from the trunk of your car, van or back of your pickup. There’s no charge to be a vendor, but you need to pre-register beforehand.” Deadline for registrations is Wednesday, Sept. 24. Call the Regional Waste Reduction Office at 250-469-6250. If you don’t want to sell stuff at the Trunk Sale,

DERKSEN, ANTHONIA Anthonia Derksen passed away on August 25, 2014, at her home in Sun Pointe Village, Kelowna, lovingly surrounded by her son, John Droog of Oliver, BC and his wife Rita and her daughter Inger Droog of Calgary, AB, and the compassionate staff of Sun Pointe Village. She would have been 96 on September 4th. Anthonia Angenitha van Havezaat was born in Rotterdam, the Netherlands on September 4, 1918 and was the only child of her parents, Anton and Petronella van Havezaat. She was a fun loving girl and active young women with rowing and tennis as her favourite sports and music and dancing as her favourite pastime. She also loved the outdoors and in her later years spent many happy hours in her garden growing vegetables and flowers. Anthonia married Jan Droog in Rotterdam, the Netherlands in 1939, and after a divorce in 1951, married Jan Derksen in Duivendrecht NL in 1952, and suddenly the family with two children grew to be a family with 6 children. With their 5 sons and 1 daughter, Jan and Anthonia Derksen decided to pioneer and immigrate to Alberta Canada by boat, and train in April of 1952, finding employment and a comfortable house in Ponoka Alberta, where in 1955, daughter Frances was born. In 1962 Anthonia became the secretary to the Alberta Hospital Administrator in Ponoka. In the late 60’s the family moved to Edson Alberta where Anthonia worked as secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture. She loved her secretarial work outside the home. Anthonia retired and with her husband Jan, and moved to Dehart Road in Kelowna in 1979 where she continued her various hobbies. She always had a ready coffee or tea for the many neighbours and visiting friends from Holland and the many other places coming to holiday in Kelowna. She played the piano and organized and music for the local musical band, “The OK Happy Gang,” in OK Mission, was active in her church, in several social clubs throughout the community while living in Kelowna. Anthonia was predeceased by son, Dirk Derksen, her husband, Jan Derksen of Kelowna, daughter Frances McKeever of Calgary, and daughter in law Alida Derksen of Edson. She leaves to honor her memory: Her daughter Inger Droog of Calgary, AB, and her sons John Droog of Oliver BC, Steve Derksen of Edson AB, Jan Derksen JR. of Red Deer, AB, Phil Derksen, of Ponoka AB, as well as fourteen grandchildren and numerous great–grandchildren and great-great grandchildren in Alberta, BC and Costa Rica. A Funeral service will be held on Saturday, August 30, at 1:30 P.M. in Evangel Church on Gordon Drive in Kelowna with Interment in the Memorial Park cemetery at 3:00 P.M.

ISLAND FARM offers a glimpse of everyday life on a mid-19th-century farm, highlighted by a wagon ride around the Roanoke Island, N.C., property.

CHRIS SEWARD/CONTRIBUTOR

Secrets of the North Carolina Coast John Bordsen CONTRIBUTOR

Jason Frye moved to Wilmington, N.C., in 2002 to attend grad school—and never left. As a freelance writer, he has visited and written about the 301-mile coastline and the mainland behind it ever since. His second North Carolina guidebook for Moon/Avalon—Moon North Carolina Coast (including the Outer Banks)—pulls together what he’s seen, done and recommends to travelers, from the Great Dismal Swamp on the Virginia line to the fabled fish restaurants in

Calabash, just upwind from Myrtle Beach. There are stops along the way for flora, fauna, folklore, beer and more. In an interview, Frye shared highlights of what that area has to offer.

MOST SECLUDED PLACE

“You feel real isolated on the Shackleford Banks, specifically the very old ghost town of Portsmouth, on Cape Lookout National Seashore. It’s ferry-access-only to reach that former whaling station. There’s just a church and a few buildings standing; there’s also a little National Park Service information desk.

“It’s like Ocracoke might have been 190 years ago—but a little eerie because the homes there have been maintained by the Park Service. It looks like someone just left and will be back ... but they won’t.” Info: http://1.usa.gov/1mJaiMK.

BEST UNKNOWN ATTRACTION

“That might be the importance of African-Americans to the U.S. Life Saving Service, the precursor to the Coast Guard, on the Outer Banks. Richard Ethridge was the only African-American captain of the service: He was raised as a slave in Manteo, on Roanoke Island,

and grew up to be a waterman. After serving in the Civil War in the 36th U.S. Colored Troops— later the famous ‘Buffalo Soldiers’—he became keeper of the station on Pea Island and commanded an all-black crew. “At Pea Island, there’s a little memorial to him, and they re-created a life-saving station there. His grave and an account of his story are at the N.C. Aquarium at Roanoke, which they’re getting ready to redo. The place where Ethridge grew up—Island Farm—is a living hist-
