In fact, the Silver5.3L 355hp V8 in the base SLE and middle SLT Yukon ado won the North American Truck of the Year and models and the 6.2L V8 in the Denali. This 6.2L engine the GMC Sierra won the AJAC truck of the year. With is also used in the Escalade. There are several reasons a solid basis, the engineers then went about building to consider the Denali over the base 5.3L engine. the full-sized SUVs based on the truck chassis.

V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption.

With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year.

AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg.

Verdict The Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive.

FROM SURPLUS TO SUPPLY: HOW A GLEANING PROJECT BECAME A

COMMUNITY-BUILDING LIFE-FORCE DAWN BUEHNER and her family moved to the Okanagan from Calgary and are really excited to be out picking fruit as it’s not something a family can easily participate in on the prairies.

T

here’s more to glean from harvesting a season’s bounty with a group than a bucket of fruit. Three years in, the Okanagan Tree Fruit Project is overflowing with offers as it looks to provide food and unique opportunities to those in need while filling a void for orchardists, veggie farmers and anyone with a garden bounty they simply cannot pick through.

CLOSE-UP

RENA WARREN/CONTRIBUTOR

SHAYLA FAIRS participates in Cool Arts projects, an organization dedicated to providing fine arts opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities living in the

Central Okanagan. This year, it is harvesting food as one of the many organizations joining forces with the Central Okanagan Tree Fruit Project to glean fruit, build community, improve local food security and celebrate the bounty of what this area produces.

Thousands go hungry, yet food goes to waste Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

A

s the owner of Tantalus Vineyards, Jane Hatch may concentrate on refining her Riesling. But when she acquired a property with eight apple trees, it wasn’t grapes gnawing at her conscience.

“I picked an 800pound bin of apples and had it pressed for juice and still had a lot of fruit left over on the trees,” she said. “That was a real concern to me. I wasn’t sure what we were going to do with them and it felt terribly wasteful to just let

them fall on the ground.”

A little research produced a phone number for the Okanagan Tree Fruit Project.

Now in its third season, the phenomenally successful gleaning initiative-cum-non-profit organization has managed to significantly out-pick established organizations in the Lower Mainland, though it boasts only a two-person board, a parttime co-ordinator and has just landed its first pot of grant dollars.

It’s initial mission was simple: Feed the hungry with backyard fruit that would otherwise go to

waste.

Yet, as the tight crew of founders venture into vegetables, connect with farmers and network with organizations which serve needy families and provide marginalized individuals with meaningful work, they are fast becoming much more.

“I feel like this year was the turning point,” said Casey Hamilton, president of the board of directors which recently solidified after splitting from the Central Okanagan Food Policy Council.

Fostered as a committee of the council, the pro-

ject was developed by Hamilton, a dietitian who was working for the Interior Health Authority at the time, and a handful of her dietetic interns. As the interns moved on, she connected with a former business analyst for Tetley Tea and Safeway, Jane Kellet, and an international relations student well-versed in food security issues, Ailsa Beischer, and the committee blossomed to a full-blown organization.

As of this summer, Beischer is a seasonal, though full-time employee, and there are 300 people who volunteer routinely with expecta-

tions of picking nearly 20,000 pounds of fruit by year’s end.

“I think there’s an unmet need here,” said Hamilton. “We have received tons of phone calls from all over the Okanagan from people wanting us to pick fruit and we would love to expand and explore those opportunities.”

Like any new venture, the challenges are as plentiful as the potential.

How the food will be distributed provides an ongoing debate, for example. A little goes to the pickers. A little goes to the owners of the fruit or

vegetables on offer and a good chunk goes to a long list of charitable organizations from the Kelowna Food Bank to The Living Positive Resource Centre to the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs.

“We’re trying to keep it loose and flexible and see what works for this community,” Hamilton explained. Many organizations set hard-and-fast one-third, one-third, onethird policies.

Hauling in some 17,700 pounds of food last year, with 10,000 pounds under its belt this season and the heavy harvest still to come—

apples, filberts, walnuts and potatoes—those in need have taken notice.

Although it distributes to organizations not individuals, the calls from low-income families have started and the group has had to creatively adapt to each situation.

“It’s a complex area, food insecurity,” said Hamilton. “People who are living in poverty are there for a lot of reasons.

Some are there because of unfortunate circumstance and some are there because it’s a multi-gen-

does do is it provides access to fresh, healthy food for people who can’t afford to buy it or who can’t afford to buy enough of it.”

The vision for the organization includes a social enterprise business, which could produce a value-added product from its harvest—or a few. The group wants to employ the socially and economically marginalized individuals it is already working with and find a stable funding base, without grant dollars.

Last November, Beischer won it a $3,000 prize at Okanagan Change UP 2013, a competition put on by Okanagan Changemakers to foster social enterprise organizations and businesses. The group is hoping to start research to make its venture happen this fall.

In the meantime, they’ve won the confidence of the City of Kelowna and Central Okanagan Foundation, which each awarded the project funds for the first time this

“We could expand almost indefinitely. There seems to be an endless amount of fruit around and we’re only scratching the surface,” said Kellet, adding she’s constantly surprised by the number of volunteers who jump on board saying they

had no idea such a thing existed.

For now, they’ve drawn their geographical line at Penticton.

One other gleaning organization, Okanagan Gleaners, harvests fruit throughout the valley, processing it into soups and shipping it to developing nations. It is a Christian organization based in Oliver and has been working the concept since 1994.

ject, but wants her organization to chart a different trajectory—serving the local community, targeting inclusiveness at every turn.

She’s reaching out to organizations working with marginalized members of society, like those with mental illness specifically, to encourage this style of growth.

This fall, they will work with Cool Arts, an organization providing arts opportunities for adults with developmental disabilities, on a project called Re-Produce.

Cool Arts artists have gleaned two batches of plums and will soon be doing apples. Along the way, they are sketching the fruit, creating fruit-inspired pottery with the Potter’s Addict Ceramic Art Centre and photographing their work. It will all go on display at the Grow Local Fair in October at the B.C. Orchard Industry Museum.

As Cool Arts executive director, Rena Warren explains the project as a hands-on experience targeted at community learning. The community learns about harvesting and the abilities of those with developmental disabilities. The Cool Arts participants learn about food and where it comes from, and they take some home along the way. She loves the Okanagan Fruit Tree Project’s approach to community development.

“Rather than just sit here, I am going to lend a helping hand, the way (the project) is working provides people with more dignity as they’re involved in the process,” she said.

Hamilton intends to keep it this way.

The Okanagan Fruit Tree Project is on Facebook and is always looking for volunteers and fruit or vegetables to pick in the Central Okanagan or Penticton.

Distillery wins fight over bear brand Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna businessman Mike Urban won a court case Tuesday that, if lost, could have crushed his business.

The federal court sided with Urban in a four-year-long trademark dispute between Urban Distilleries and the City of Terrace, which filed a lawsuit alongside the Kitasoo Band Council.

“This was the best news ever,” he said Thursday. “I fought it, and I’m glad I did.”

At issue, was the Spirit Bear brand. Urban trademarked Spirit Bear vodka in 2010, but the band and the City of Terrace challenged his right to use the name, claiming they previously trademarked it in 2003 and 2006. Their claim of the brand was seemingly for licensing purposes, from which they garnered royalties, although they also claimed concerns about the way Urban wanted to use the name.

“The Spirit Bear is associated with this part of B.C. and the City of Terrace wants to continue to maintain the uniqueness of its trademark,” said Terrace Mayor Dave Pernarowski about the trademark infringement lawsuit filed against Urban Distilleries.

“Sometimes you have to push a little bit, particu-

larly when it’s being used on a product that isn’t the best representation for a special creature.”

The court found that both the City of Terrace and Kitasoo Band council’s official trademark for Spirit Bear were invalid, having been improperly registered.

In particular the judge found the Spirit Bear trademarks had not been properly adopted. For their failed efforts, the City of Terrace and Kitasoo Band Council were also ordered to pay costs to Urban Distillery.

It will be a huge benefit for Urban, who expressed concerns that the legal battle would sink the company. He went so far as to ask the community to help fund his legal battle, last December.

“The community support was great, and I’m thankful for that,” he said, noting that the support was mostly in spirit, not dollars.

Now, however, he can begin the work needed to expand his presence in the craft distillery market.

“I can get on with my business the way I should have previously,” he said.

“I had a lot of different products I put on hold and couldn’t release until this was over…I didn’t want to put anything into research and development or build new moulds because there was a slight chance I wouldn’t win,

and then I would have killed the whole company.”

The judgement also reinforces Urban’s belief that he was helping promote the protection of the creature.

He had named the brand as a tribute to the Spirit Bear, the official mammal of B.C., and as a symbol of the purity and local nature of the artisanal Spirit Bear Gin and Vodka products. The spirit bear, also known as the kermode bear, is a white, non-albino subspecies of

time.”

Brett said when the officer went to engage the vehicle and pull it over using his lights and siren, the black Mustang failed to stop and sped away, fishtailing, failing to obey traffic control devices and travelling into oncoming traffic.

The Mustang travelled at high speed dangerously through a residential and school zone area, almost hitting two pedestrians crossing the street, added Brett.

“When I realized there were pedestrians at the crosswalk, as well as an active school in session, I quickly turned off my lights and sirens and stopped at the side of the road. I was concerned for the safety of those in the neighbourhood,” said

Const. Sheldon Herman of the Kelowna RCMP. The officer was able to keep an eye on the vehicle from a distance.

Minutes after the vehicle fled, two women matching the descriptions of the pair the officer saw in the Mustang were walking down the street, just a short distance away from where the car was found.

Herman identified both women and it was confirmed they were wanted on outstanding Canada-wide warrants for parole violations.

The 53-year-old driver faces further charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Both she and the 35-year-old were taken into custody to appear in court.

Quesnel RCMP received a report shortly after 7 a.m. on Thursday, of a head-on collision on Highway 97 south of Sales Road.

The investigation determined that a pickup truck travelling northbound crossed the centre line colliding head-on with a southbound sport utility vehicle.

The collision claimed the lives of the 48-yearold male driver of the pickup truck from Kelowna, the 73-year-old female driver of the SUV from New Hazelton and her 70-year-old female passenger, who was also from Kelowna.

All were pronounced dead at the scene.

Quesnel RCMP investigators are being assisted by a North District traffic services collision reconstructionist and a traffic analyst, who were at the scene Thursday afternoon.

The cause of the collision is still under investigation but alcohol is not believed to be a factor.

Weather conditions at the time of the collision were cool with very dense fog and limited visibility.

The officer said it is not known how many suspects were involved, but considering the time spent in the area and what was taken, it’s believed there was more than one person or vehicle involved.

On the same day, an abandoned stolen vehicle was located in the area that may be related to the break-ins.

Government considering help for senior secondary students Jeff Nagel BC LOCAL NEWS

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the province may take extraordinary steps to ensure senior secondary students’ school year is not cut short by the teachers strike.

That could mean adding days to the school calendar later in the year, he said, to ensure Grade 12 students in particular complete their courses and get all the marks they need.

“Do you put it on the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays?

My staff are looking at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

“It’s going to depend on how long this drags out. Whatever length of time it takes to get this settled, we will do everything we can to make sure the school year is kept whole for those students.”

It’s unclear how the government would finance adding extra days of classes later when all of the $12 million per day in strike savings may be consumed by the province’s offer of $40-a-day payments to parents.

“If they were accumulating the savings, that would be one thing— they would have a fund,” Vancouver School Board chair Patti Bacchus said.

“But they’re giving away the budget right now to parents that would be otherwise available to pay for that.”

As of Thursday, 63 per cent of parents of eligible public school children under 13 had signed up for the $40 payments, which are expected to be made as a lump sum after the strike ends.

Other costs that the province continues to incur while schools are

closed include salaries for school administration as well as support staff with other unions that are eligible to be compensated for pay lost for not crossing teacher picket lines.

Support staff costs could hit $5 million a day once all their union locals ratify new contracts.

Education ministry officials said school districts would be consulted on any potential changes to the school year to mitigate the strike.

But Bacchus said she’s heard nothing so far and predicted it would be disruptive to families that have booked vacations and made other commitments far in advance.

“It’s not going to be easy,” she said, noting changes would also require exemptions from School Act requirements.

Talk of calendar adjustments is another sign of possible long-term implications from the strike, even though it has only disrupted the first few days of the new school year.

Parents have scrambled for limited space for child care, day camps, tutors and even private school placements for their children.

Stepping up to meet the demand have been independent schools and, increasingly, public school teachers no longer drawing a regular paycheque who are advertising “tutor” services online.

“I work for the Surrey School District and I am willing to tutor your child in the comfort of your own home,” reads one Craigslist post from an elementary school teacher.

Distance learning through independent online schools is another option.

The B.C. Online School, run out of Ke-

lowna by Heritage Christian Schools, has been swamped with three times the normal number of applications for distributed learning from students across the province as a result of the strike.

“We are overloaded with kids coming to us, particularly those in Grade 12 who want to get a particular course and get their requirements for university,” said superintendent Greg Bitgood.

The online school, which is half funded by the province, instructed

3,400 students in its summer school—three times the normal number— and turned away another 6,000.

Demand has surged again now that the strike has spilled into September and pushed back the scheduled start of classes.

Bitgood is weighing whether to hire more teachers in response.

But it’s risky because a deal or government legislation could send teachers back to work and students back to regular classes, said Bitgood, who em-

phasized he also wants the public school shutdown to end quickly.

There’s only four such

The Okanagan Symphony Orchestra has found itself a new executive director.

The OSO board has appointed Robert Barr to the position.

“Robert brings over 20 years of experience in arts management and operations in both B.C. and Ontario and we are extremely pleased to have him join the OSO management team, said Ginette Williams, president of the Okanagan

She said Barr joined the OSO in July and has been familiarizing himself with the organization in preparation for the commencement of the new season in October.

During that time, he had the support of the previous executive director, Scott Wilson, who is retiring.

Barr comes to the OSO after having spent 15 years with Vancouver’s Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival, the last nine as managing director.

During his tenure there, audience size increased by 35 per cent and the budget increased from $2.4 million to $4 million.

He also spent four years on the executive of the international Shakespeare Theatre Association, including a term as president.

2014 Election Be Heard. Get Involved.

Election Officials are needed to work the 2014 General Local Election.

The City of Kelowna is seeking election officials to work on Election Day, Saturday, Nov. 15, and/or during Advance voting days.

Hours of work will be 7am – 9pm.

Attendance at a paid 2 hour training session is mandatory.

Kelowna Secondary School student Jeremy Becker has found a productive way to spend the first week of Grade12.

Using his entrepreneurial endeavour Taste Locally, he’s launched a fundraiser aimed at helping single parents cope with the cost associated with the ongoing labour strife between the province and teachers.

“I know first hand how much this strike sucks, but I can’t imagine the financial burden on single parents,” he said.

The fundraiser was conceived earlier this week, and is still in its fledgling stages.

Becker has high hopes that he’ll be able to use the cards to give back to the community.

He has already seen success in the fundraising model.

Taste Locally is a deck of cards where business deals are featured. The businesses profiled don’t buy the space in the deck, and they merely ante up some services in exchange for the publicity.

The money is made in the sale, and plenty are sold.

Organizations use the cards to fundraise. For $25, buyers get a deck of deals, and the fundraising organization makes $7 per sale, which is a higher portion of profit than the norm.

To learn more about the decks go to tastelocally.com. Or, if you know a parent who could use a hand up, email hi@ tastelocally.com and tell Becker about them.

Suicide Prevention Day discussion planned here Approximately 11 Canadians will end their lives by suicide today.

Each year suicide claims the lives of more than 3,500 people in Canada. In B.C, an average of 501 people a year take their own lives.

The effects of suicide can be devastating to families and communities.

Suicide prevention is a shared responsibility, according to organizers of this year’s Suicide Prevention Day activities.

Connecting Canada is

the theme for this year’s World Suicide Prevention Day on Sept. 10.

The campaign highlights that being connected with oneself, with others, and with a community is critical to hopefulness and well being.

In Kelowna, a discussion about the issue was led by MPs Ron Cannan (Kelowna-Lake Country) and Dan Albas (Okanagan-Coquihalla) on Monday at the Parkinson Recreation Centre

Charlie Hodge being going on,” he said referring to the annual bash.

When I told him it had been happening on and off for about 30 years he nearly fell out of his chair.

When I assured him the current night of music had only just begun he just grinned and sank deeper into his lawn chair. Indeed it proved to be another magical evening in our backyard.

The annual fun originally started as a spontaneous gathering of musicians that I managed, promoted, ran light shows for, or plunked along with years before.

It has slowly evolved into a much bigger bash over the years and while many marvel at the amount of musicians involved—in fairness it began as their party.

For the past six years Teresa has been the real wind behind the sails of

event and making sure the yard and house are as presentable as possible.

When the party is finally complete it takes both of us about a week to recover from exhaustion.

Actually, the barbecue was the pre-cursor to the annual Night of the Arts fundraiser which Curtis Tulman and I have organized for a decade now.

On Nov. 7 this year we will celebrate the 10th annual (and final) Night of the Arts event at the Kelowna Community Theatre—and a number of the stars on stage will be the same characters Jim listened to on the long weekend.

Indeed this year’s wrap up fund raiser for the homeless and those dealing with addictions promises to the best NOTA event yet.

Already confirmed to play in November are Deb Stone, Keith ‘Poppa’ Thom, and a reunion of the hugely successful and popular Cruzeros.

Two other main acts will be confirmed this week.

Make sure and pencil in date on your calendar

of events.

••• If you are interested in having a preview of one of the talented musicians involved then I strongly recommend you visit the Minstrel Cafe in the Mission on Wednesday, Sept.24. Folk singer and troubadour Poppa Thom will entertain that evening and his dynamic vocals, smooth guitar playing, and engaging nature is well worth the effort.

Poppa is not only a class act on stage but a gem of a human being.

His recent song titled Invisible is destined to be a chart topper.

In addition to his wonderful show, attending the Minstrel is a true dining pleasure. There are few places I can think of that match for Minstrel for wonderful food and great ambiance.

••• Looking for something fun and worthwhile to do with the kids this weekend? Make sure and take in the open house at Kelowna’s Main fire hall on Enterprise this Sunday, Sept. 7.

Nilsen, from Nelson, BC, is listed with 37 other poets as the best of the bards in this year’s contest. The shortlist will be announced September 8 and the grand prize will be awarded at the end of this month. Two of Nilsen’s poems, As We Bend and Three Poems, were selected from hundreds of submissions to the annual national poetry contest.

This is the first time Nilsen, who has been writing poetry since she was in fifth grade, has entered the contest and she’s excited to be long-listed. The grand prize winner will receive $6,000

from the Canada Council for the Arts, publication

in Air Canada’s enRoute magazine, and a two-

week residency at The Banff Centre in Alberta.

and family fun day in support of the Kelowna Professional Firefighters Charitable Society. The event will run from 9 a.m. to noon at 2255 Enterprise Way. The Salvation Army, YMCA, and Willow Park Church are also involved in the fun family affair.

Visitors will also get to watch auto extraction demonstrations with local media, high-angle rescue with former NHL player Wade Redden, fire extinguisher demonstrations, RCMP canine demonstrations, and a live burn demonstration.

Other events include face painting, bouncy castle obstacle course, family games, and more.

All proceeds go to

I figured I knew what Jim was referring too but either out of conversational etiquette or a need to have my ego boosted a tad more, I replied with the conversation extender.

“Why,” I responded.

“Well, I am sitting here like I am attending my own private backyard concert and I cannot believe how talented all these various musicians are. How lucky are you to have such gifted friends?”

“I’ve been telling you that for a long time. It’s about time you attended one of these.” I chuckled referring to my annual summer-ending barbecue.

He can be defiant, mischievous and down right mean. rr Cam entered kindergart-aa en last year with 22 of hisff peers and one dedicated, ex-tt perienced teacher. As an ac-bb tive parent volunteer I quick-ll ly noted that many of thenn children, including my own,fi fi exhibited behaviours thatii needed extra support in theee classroom.

That’s the downside of a behindclosed-doors process, like we’re dealing with now.

Very few of us media-types actually know what the heck is going on between the BCTF and the province.

We merely have to collect the dribs and drabs as they’re doled out to us and hope that someone in another corner has some livelier dribs and drabs that can add balance. If we’re lucky, we get clarity.

Oh, to be Woodward and Bernstein—the type of reporter that the word sexy could be hung on.

Fact is, that’s just not the way things go for the vast majority of us.

The thing I wish more people would understand, however, is that a version of the truth is not actually a lie.

When the education minister calls up and says that B.C. students test marks are some of the best in the country and world, he’s not lying.

Of course, when a teacher in the o district opens up and tells me that the i school is woefully understaffed to deal a with the number of problem kids in her c class, that’s not a lie either.

BC Hydro meter found not at fault for causing fire

To the editor: Some misinformation was recently published in your paper about a fire that occurred last week in Langford on Vancouver Island. (Smart Meters May Be Cause of Some House Fires, Sept. 2 Capital News.)

The Langford Fire Department investigated the incident and confirmed publicly that the cause was not electrical or related to BC Hydro’s meter.

BC Hydro has installed 1.9 million new meters over the last three

years and they have a proven safety record. BC Hydro’s new meters have undergone thorough quality assurance testing by both the meter manufacturer and BC Hydro to ensure they are safe, accurate and reliable.

There is no evidence a BC Hydro smart meter has ever been the cause of a fire in British Columbia.

In fact, research by the University of the Fraser Valley shows that there have been fewer residential structure fires associated with electricity in

British Columbia since BC Hydro started installing smart meters in 2011.

This is because BC Hydro has repaired more than 3,000 pre-existing unsafe meter socket conditions on customers’ homes at no cost to the home owner during our installations. All of these repairs were done by certified electricians.

Ted Olynyk, Vancouver Island community relations manager, BC Hydro

Utmost care taken exchanging meters To the editor: In a letter published in the Sept. 2 edition of the Kelowna Capital News, the writer expressed concern about advanced meters.

As with any project we do, safety is always a primary consideration.

Specific procedures we’ve developed for advanced meter installations will help avoid any install-related or equipment related problems. Every customer-owned meter base will be inspected before an advanced meter is installed. The inspection will flag any unusual wir-

ing, broken government seals, as well as broken or cracked meter base lugs.

The inspection will also include a voltage check.

It’s important to note that we exchange thousands of meters each year to ensure accuracy, and we always do so with safety at top of mind.

Polley fish already had high chemical readings

To the editor: It has recently been reported that the gonads and livers from fish taken from Polley Lake [Location of tailings pond dam breach] contain higher levels of metals than gonads and livers taken from fish elsewhere in the province, particularly for the element selenium.

However, it should be pointed out that this has a lot more to do with lo-

cal geology than it does with the recent breach at the Mount Polley tailings pond: Elevated levels are to be expected at this location.

In every corner of the planet, local rocks dictate local soil and water chemistry; and mines, for obvious reasons, are located where rocks contain elevated levels of metals. It should not be a surprise, then, that the metal con-

centrations in water bodies such as Quesnel and Polley lakes, located near to significant metal deposits, are going to be greater than in bodies of water found elsewhere in the province.

For example, elevated levels of selenium were found in the flesh, gonads and livers of fish taken from Polley Lake long before the dam was breached. These elevat-

ed levels were noted in a 2013 report that also showed slightly higher levels of arsenic, copper, manganese and zinc compared to fish from 54 other lakes around the province.

However, all of the fish were within the guidelines for human consumption.

Not to put too fine a point on it, the Interior Health Authority and the Ministry of Environment have stated that fish from

You see, having a kindergarten class with too many children in it and

that is composed of many children with special needs and challenging behaviours has been a detriment to my child.

No one has told Cam that he is bad but that is the label that he has given himself based on the way that his behaviour was managed in school.

30 km/h in residential areas

To the editor: I would like to suggest that the city of Kelowna enforce a 30 km speed limit in all residential areas. It would provide a far safer setting for all pedestrians and cyclists.

The city of Victoria is considering this as well as some suburbs near Vancouver, as was shared on Global BC TV today.

We recently moved from Airdrie, AB

where this is already enforced and it allowed for less road rage and a far more peaceful setting.

The main roads such as Harvey, Springfield, Gordon etc. would stay the same speed, just the residential areas would change to the slower speed limit.

Quesnel and Polley lakes are safe to eat.

Anyone who is still unsure about eating these fish can remove the liver or gonads before eating.

But how many people do you know who actually eat fish livers and fish gonads on a regular basis, if ever?

Once upon a time for an enterprising leader

“T

o lead people, walk beside them; As for our best leaders, the people do not notice their existence; and, when the best leaders’ work is done, the people will say, ‘We did it ourselves.’”

I find myself these days never feeling tired to speak about the glory of leadership in our entrepreneurial society—in fact, reading the gentleman cited below prompted me to add value to my personal and professional life as well as insert the element of “entrepreneurial leadership” into the core mandate of our Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society at www.OVES.org.

Wonderful phrases all that touch the core essence of what leadership, any form of leadership is about. Lately I have enjoyed reading several books written by Dr. John C. Maxwell, an international author and

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Joel Young speaker on leadership.

First, leadership is fundamental to entrepreneurship and, of course, in life, there are many ways to look at the roles and positions of leadership.

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 pursuit.

Since the 1980’s, an increased level of entrepreneurial activity has spawned, not only because of the electronics age, but, due to a plethora of new products, materials, financial networks, joint venture potential and, changes in politics, economics and societies.

Thus, it is imperative for anyone involved in entrepreneurial venture creation, especially the individual entrepreneur, to fully comprehend and embrace the importance

of sound leadership modalities and their association to “change.”

The basis for defining and understanding entrepreneurs has created a challenging problem for many years for researchers and practitioners alike.

Even to-day, the struggle continues for an accepted definition of an entrepreneur .

Then, we must recognize and include a seemingly never-ending definition of “ entrepreneurship “ itself and, I am not going to take that on for today, but, only to declare that taking the “ boatride “ 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.

A leader has to be entrepreneurial as well but, entrepreneurial leadership, it has been written, deals with concepts and ideas that are often related to problems that are not of an organizational nature but rather tend to be individual characteristics or behaviours.

These include: vision, problem-solving, deci-

sion-making, risk-taking and strategic initiatives.

Entrepreneurial leadership has been coined by those who realize a change in leadership style is necessary in order for Canada’s businesses, both large and small, to be competitive in this ever-changing global economy. For example, and the world of technology can attest to this: that 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 management or even both. Since the 1980’s, 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, and frankly, as a zealot of entrepreneurial thought, that the organizations of the future will be in fact, entrepreneurial in nature.

Its leadership, strategies and structure will reflect entrepreneurial thinking with associated character-

istics, e.g. problem-solving and action orientation. The characteristics and behaviours that spell success in entrepreneurial firms and small businesses are now being considered by larger firms as this phenomena has coined “intrapreneurship” as the method for corporations to act “entrepreneurially” from within.

Based on this myriad of similarities between what is known as leaders and entrepreneurs plus the amount of study already concluded, much is now known about both leadership and entrepreneurship. It is fair to say in conclusion of this brief look at enterprising leadership that new organizational designs, new thinking patterns and new information systems will require new leadership styles.

Entrepreneurial leadership offers one answer.

I would like to end with the presentation of three pillars of entrepreneurial leadership for you, dear readers, to ponder and enjoy.

Visionary evangelist—persuades employees to work toward his/her vision of the future. Creates, sells and drives the strategy of the organization.

Serves as a spokesperson for the organization and demonstrates confidence in its potential for success Takes charge, pushes for action and instills a sense of urgency to achieve the organizations goals.

Team and consensus builder—develops teamwork, alignment and motivation by involving, empowering and creating a positive work environment. Develops loyalty by investing in building relationships with others and by showing interest in employees needs, growth and development. Is open to their ideas and willing to share power.

Manager of execution—provides organization, focus and clarity of direction. Good administrator, structured, disciplined, and skilled at setting short term targets and goals. Good at setting priorities and meeting commitments. Sets up systems and processes. Worries about details.

Monitors results versus plans and provides the rigour and control to stay the course and corrects for deviations i.e. gets result.

What constitutes ‘serious’ when it comes to an injury?

D oes an injury require broken bones to be considered serious?

According to the way most people talk, including some insurance adjusters, you might think so.

And the media encourage such misperceptions.

Listen to, watch or read about car crashes and unless there are broken bones, or hospital stays in intensive care, reporters seem to give the impression there were no injuries.

(Editors Note: Reporters don’t determine whether there were injuries or their extent, they relay information provided by police at the scene or from police reports.)

The vocabulary commonly used to describe these injuries makes matters worse. How could a “soft-tissue” injury be serious? Bones are our hard-tissues and everything else in the body is soft.

An injury to anything other than bone is often referred to as a “soft-tis-

ACHIEVING JUSTICE

Paul Hergott sue” injury.

From what I’ve seen over the years in my personal injury practice, I’d take a hard-tissue injury over a soft-tissue injury any day.

Bones heal remarkably well. It’s no fun having to be in a cast for a few weeks, but that’s typically all it takes to make a full recovery. Even complex fractures that require plates and screws typically heal quickly.

Some soft-tissue injuries are, indeed, very minor. Take a bruise for example. After a car crash there might be bruises across your abdomen and chest, caused when your body was flung against the seat belt.

Bruises resolve themselves even faster than broken bones.

But what about the

stretching and tearing injuries to the muscles, ligaments and other tissues that happen in a car crash?

Have you ever tried to get an elastic band to regain its shape after stretching it beyond the limits of its elasticity?

I am no medical expert, but that’s the way I think about what happens when the seat belt holds most of you, but not all of you, in your seat.

The parts of you that are not held still move backward and forward.

Your head is one of the heaviest parts of your body. There’s nothing stopping your head from moving forward in a crash but your neck.

What takes the brunt of the injury? The muscles, ligaments and other tissues that hold the hard tissues together.

For most of my clients, the elastic will never regain its shape. Most of my clients face the prospect of some degree of pain and discomfort for the rest of their lives.

Imagine how these people feel when their injury is referred to as just a

soft-tissue injury.

I was recently consulted by a fellow who had been offered a $5,000 settlement.

‘‘

WHAT RIDICULOUS SCALE COULD HAVE $5,000 AS THE TOP END OF COMPENSATION FOR WHAT COULD TURN OUT TO BE A LIFE-LONG INJURY?

The insurance adjuster told him it was just a soft-tissue injury and the offer was at the high end of compensation for soft-tissue injuries.

Perhaps that explains why insurance companies make such low offers to unrepresented claimants.

What ridiculous scale could have $5,000 as the top end of compensation for what could turn out to be a life-long injury?

Perhaps the way the offer is presented also

explains why so many people accept those absurdly low offers.

In effect, the adjuster is not just making an offer, he or she is also giving legal advice.

Adding the offer is at the high end of compensation for the injury is legal advice. And that advice is dead wrong.

The reality is $5,000 happens to be at the low end of compensation, very close to the bottom.

What’s the high end?

It would be misleading for me to throw out a figure. The greater the impact on a person’s life, the greater the compensation.

A jury I appeared before made an assessment that $120,000 was fair compensation for one of my client’s pain and suffering.

My client suffered only soft-tissue injuries.

Yes, he had quite serious permanent symptoms, but he was still able to work

full-time.

I expect his injures were described as minor by the media reporting the crash, if they were mentioned at all.

Don’t be thrown by the lingo or the misperceptions. Soft-tissue injuries can be the worst kind of injury. Ensure justice is achieved by get-

ting a proper assessment of the value of your claim.

Don’t rely on the advice you might get from an insurance adjuster.

New CEO at Accelerate Okanagan Accelerate Okanagan has appointed a new CEO. Pilar Portela will assume responsibilities on Sept. 16, according to the local technology-focused not-for-profit which helps tech start-up companies get off the ground.

Portela replaces Jeff Keen, who stepped down to pursue an opportunity with a startup technology company.

Pilar is a relative newcomer to the Okanagan after leaving SBM Site Services in Sacramento, California as its director of software development.

“It is a tremendous honour to be offered the position of CEO for Accelerate Okanagan,” she said.

“As the new CEO, I am committed to doing whatever it takes to help local startups flourish.”

She said the Accelerate Okanagan team will continue to encourage the creation and innovation of local technology businesses.

“I am dedicated to increasing collaboration between national and international tech hubs, which in turn help local startups

flourish.

The organization’s goals will continue on the current growth path, while fostering the community’s entrepreneurial climate, teach people how to be successful entrepreneurs and support companies in Accelerate Okanagan’s programs, she added.

Portela’s experience is varied, having worked all over the Americas and she brings 20 years of expert management and executive experience to the team.

She has an MA in project management and has

studied law and international trade.

The new CEO is also described as a “master leader” who brings planning and organization to a new level.

“She has an innate ability to align and bring focus into every situation.

Her global knowledge of business development and her problem resolution skills fit perfectly with Accelerate Okanagan’s mission to increase the number of tech companies that start and grow in the Okanagan,” said the organization in a news release.

Real estate now a ‘sellers’’ market Housing sales are on their way up in the Central Okanagan.

The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board reported August sales activity of all MLS property types improved by 23 per cent compared to the same month in 2013 with buyer activity building significant momentum over the summer.

“Year-over-year and

month-over-month, the Okanagan-Shuswap housing market continues to strengthen and has maintained a strong upward sales trend for the past six months as we make steady strides toward recovery,” said Darcy Griffiths, OMREB president and North Okanagan realtor.

“More buyer activity in the higher price range

reflects the renewed confidence of B.C. consumers as our provincial economy improves and the return of Alberta buyers as they cash in on booming job opportunities and accelerated market values in their province.”

Conditions in the Central Okanagan are now in sellers’ market territory, with more demand than supply in some areas—

especially homes priced below $400,000—and a buyers’ market in the higher price categories.

New listings have fallen during five of the last six months with total inventory in the board area down 11 per cent compared to August 2013, resulting in levels similar to those last seen in 2008 when active listings were particularly tight.

THE VIEW from the east side of the Kalaupapa Peninsula on the island of Molokai, Hawaii.

JOSH NOEL/CONTRIBUTOR

There’s still a taste of unspoiled Hawaii on Molokai Josh Noel CONTRIBUTOR

MOLOKAI, Hawaii—After we heard buzzing overhead in the thick Hawaiian jungle for the second or third time, I asked our ponytailed guide, Gregorson Rider, the source of the noise.

“Helicopter?” I said.

“Tours from Maui,” he replied, referring to Molokai’s famous neighbour, 15 miles to the southeast. “It’s pretty obnoxious.”

It seemed especially so in that moment. Five fellow visitors from the mainland and I were deep in the lush Halawa Valley, admiring a large, sloping rock shaped something like a recliner. Rider said that, according to legend, native

women used it for giving birth 1,000 years ago.

Trace his lineage back, he said, and his ancestors likely entered the world there.

The helicopter buzzed away, and we continued down the dirt trail, the only noise once again our shuffling boots and the birds chirping invisibly in the trees above. We were headed to a waterfall for lunch and relaxation in Molokai’s quiet splendour.

Rider told us about himself on the way. Born and raised in central Illinois, he moved back to his ancestral home of Hawaii, first working in the crowded bars of Honolulu on Oahu. He soon discovered that he longed to discover his roots, which led him to move with his teenage daughter to Molokai. He made more money in a week

of bartending than in a month of leading tours in the Halawa Valley, but he was free of regret.

“The whole Western thing wasn’t for me,” Rider said. “I’m trying to walk the path as much as possible.”

Molokai is the place to do it.

To visit big resorts and drink colourful, umbrella-capped drinks, there are five other Hawaiian islands appropriate for that. For a taste of a Hawaii barely touched by tourism, there is Molokai. The breezes are just as sweet and the palms sway just as gently, but it is a Hawaii free of cliche: no 18-hole golf courses, no beachfront resorts and few, if any, surf lessons. The island doesn’t even have a stoplight.

With the fewest annual visitors of the major

IT’S BACK ...

Hawaiian islands, Molokai is home to just one hotel and a handful of restaurants. There is virtually no night life and even less luxury. The lack of development leads to some sacrifices, like astronomical prices ($9 for a gallon of milk) and a less-than-scintillating restaurant scene.

But it’s a more-than-worthy trade-off for the traveler who relishes long, quiet highways and unspoiled beauty. Molokai’s simplicity leads some to suggest that the island can be experienced as a day trip. That’s a sad misconception.

Molokai’s pristine vistas deserve more time for exploration, not less.

Molokai Molokai from A21 The day I arrived, I met Dave Blair, a retired welder from Erie, Pa., who was winding down a week on the island with his wife. They had worked hard to be there, flying from Erie to Philadelphia to Phoenix to Maui to Molokai. No other islands were on their itinerary.

“We’ve already done all that,” Blair said. “This is less commercialized, and I like that. A guy I work with, he went to Oahu, and he said, ‘I went to Hawaii.’ I said, ‘No, you went to Oahu.’”

It’s a fair point. Oahu and Molokai share a history and a state flag, but that’s about it. According to the Hawaii Tourism Authority, Oahu draws 3.2 million visitors per year. Molokai, a little less than half Oahu’s size, gets 17,500. The disparity is precisely what draws

why we love it.”

“It’s not for everyone,” Bowe said. “But it’s for us.”

Like much of Hawaii, Molokai offers several landscapes in one tidy land mass. The eastern edge, which I explored with Rider, is rolling, mountainous and thick with jungle valleys.

The western shore is an array of impossibly wide, quiet beaches interspersed with rocky outcroppings.

North is the Kalaupapa Peninsula, a fascinating, historic leprosy colony. And, in all directions, is the swaying Pacific Ocean.

What little action that can be found lives in the sleepy town of Kaunakakai, on the southern coast. On an 80-degree afternoon (which

“I play at home, and when I get tired of doing that, I come down here,” Mahiai said. “It makes the day go by faster.”

He laughed and continued strumming as a white-haired local took a seat to listen. When that man moved on, another local, a young woman named Kealoha Laemoa, took his place. We listened for a few minutes.

GREGORSON Rider

blows a conch shell. It’s how Hawaiians asked permission to enter someone’s property.

Still, simplicity and rugged beauty continue to rule on Molokai, and that’s especially true at its most iconic site: Kalaupapa, a flat peninsula below Molokai’s towering cliffs that has only three ways down: plane (five-minute flight from the island’s main airport), mule (the most popular option) and foot (my choice). It has been a colony for leprosy patients since the mid-1800s, and on my last day, I visited.

I met a couple at the trailhead from Maui visiting Molokai for the first time, and together the three of us walked down the three-mile trail, descending 1,664 feet to the peninsula, spread across the ocea.

At the bottom we piled onto a rusted yellow school bus with the tourists who had come down by mule, then spent a sun-drenched, breezy afternoon riding through the village that once was home to 1,000 people but now is fewer than 100.

With its dwindling population, many of Kalaupapa’s original buildings are gone; what

remains is a tidy, quiet village of modest houses and nicely trimmed lawns, along with library, convenience store, a small church, government buildings. Traffic, be it car, bicycle or foot, is rare.

We spent about three hours on the peninsula, finishing up with a lunch facing a row of jagged green cliffs tumbling stunningly to a perfect blue sea. We didn’t see a single helicopter.

IF YOU GO

Molokai was undamaged in the recent storms, so there’s no concern with infrastructure.

Getting there: The only flights to Molokai come from Oahu and Maui, including Mokulele Airlines (mokuleleairlines.com) and Makani Kai Air (makanikaiair.com). They generally cost about $50 one way. There is a daily passenger-only ferry from Maui (molokaiferry.com).

Renting a car is a must— at Alamo at the airport and in Kaunakakai, Molokai Car Rental (molokaicars. com).

Staying: Ho-

tel Molokai (877-5535347, hotelmolokai. com); Molokai Vacation Properties (molokai-vacation-rental.com), Molokai Land and Homes (molokailandandhomes. com) and Friendly Isle Realty (friendlyislerealty. com).

Eating: Paddler’s Inn (molokaipaddlersinn. com); Kualapuu Cookhouse (808-567-9655).

In Kualapuu, Coffees of Hawaii (coffeesofhawaii.com).

In Kaunakakai, the island’s biggest town, Kanemitsu’s Bakery & Restaurant (808-553-5855) and Elsa’s Kitchen (808553-9068).

Do: On the north coast, Kalaupapa Peninsula, a national historical park (nps.gov/kala), allows 100 tourists per day, six days per week. Tours, snorkeling, whale watching, diving and hikes are available through Molokai Fish and Dive (molokaifishanddive. com) and Molokai Outdoors (molokai-outdoors. com).

Molokai’s west coast has some of Hawaii’s best beaches.

Sun battle Rams in first-place showdown Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

On paper, it might be the best matchup the B.C. Football Conference has to offer: The explosive, quick-hitting offense of the Langley Rams against the stingy, hard-hitting defense of the Okanagan Sun. The two forces will collide for the second time this season, as the Sun and Rams—both at 4-1— meet Saturday night at the Apple Bowl in a battle for top spot.

The Rams, who put up an even 70 last weekend against Kamloops, lead the BCFC with 266 points scored this season.

The Sun defense has yielded a conference-low 76 points—or just 15 per game.

“It’s going to be a great matchup,” said Sun defensive coordinator Nathan Mollard. “It’s the situation you want, to be going up against the best, or at least statistically the best offense in the conference. Our defense is excited and ready for the challenge.”

The Sun dropped the first meeting between the two rivals, 33-20 back on Aug. 2 in Langley.

But now the ball is in

OKANAGAN Sun defenders Dexter Janke and Oleks Bobrovsky will battle Ryan MacDonald and the Langley Rams in BCFC action Saturday night at the Apple Bowl.

Okanagan’s court as the two remaining games between the teams will be played at the Apple Bowl.

And with four of the last five games on their home turf, the Sun can take charge of its own destiny.

“We’re excited to play

them, there’s still a bitter taste in our mouths from that first loss in Langley,” said Mollard. “Playing them twice at home now, with our hometown fans and the atmosphere, that’s something we need to take advantage of. If pull

this one off, then we’re good shape, especially with all the home games we have left.”

While much has been made of the Rams’ offense this season, the Sun has proven to be no slouch when it comes to finding

the opposition’s end zone.

Okanagan has erupted for 156 points in its last three outings, while racking up more than 1,500 yards in total offense.

“For how poorly we played on offence that day, we really weren’t that far off from making some big plays and scoring a lot more points,” said Patchell, who has 11 catches for 253 yards and three touchdowns this season.

“We made a ton of adjustments after that game and changed some things, our run and pass games are working well, so hopefully we can carry that momentum into Saturday.

And while the regular season is far from over, Patchell agrees a victory this weekend would be a big step in the right direction.

“Right now it’s in our hands,” said Patchell. “If we continue to win week to week, then we can take care of things down the stretch.

Under the guidance of new head coach Simon Ferguson, the defending champion Rockets have about 40 players remain-

ing on the training camp roster, but will be looking to trim that down to 20 by the start of next week.

The only two players who are candidates to return are forward Mark Krabben and defenceman Mitchell Oliver, both of whom are currently at BCHL camps—neither is a guarantee.

“It’s the same process

each year, we are used to it,” said Rockets GM David Michaud. “I fully expect returning players Mitchell Oliver, and Mark Krabben to get long looks in Vernon and Victoria respectively, as usual, we will just have to be patient and see who comes back, or doesn’t. We hope they come back, but if not, we’re confident with our

talent base we will find a way to fill those spots.”

With a minimum of 18 players moving on, it is a season of considerable change for the Rockets who Michaud said won’t have the same offensive punch as last year’s championship team, but will be “workmanlike, and bigger See Ok Rockets A25

However, the Okanagan offence has since kicked its game into high gear, a trend receiver Kyle Patchell no doubt hopes to see continue on Saturday night.

Whistle poised for top net job after two years in the wings

Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

n

After two years in a supporting role in Kelowna, Jackson Whistle is ready for prime time.

Moving into the No. 1 slot between the pipes for the Rockets in 2014-15 is a most welcome scenario the 19-year-old goaltender.

“This will be my fourth year and I’m pretty excited to be here, to get the opportunity to be the No. 1 guy and just kind of roll with it,” said Whistle.

“I feel like I’ve put a lot of work into it, so it’s nice be in this position now…I’m looking forward to it.”

Following a trade to the Rockets by the Vancouver Giants in the fall of 2012, it didn’t take Whistle long to settle in as a reliable WHL back up to Jordon Cooke.

Over his first two seasons in Kelowna, Whistle posted numbers more befitting a veteran stopper—a robust 33-6-1-0 record and a 2.32 goals against average.

“The last two years working with (goalie coach) Kim Dillabaugh I gained a lot of confidence with the Rockets, and with the rest of the coaching staff,” said Whistle, who moved to Kelowna seven years ago. “For a goaltender, confidence is huge, so I feel like I have that on my side heading into the season.”

In turn, Whistle has also gained the confidence of Rockets’ management and coaches—not just with his play over the last

JACKSON Whistle, 19, takes over the No. 1 job in the Kelowna Rockets’ net this season. two seasons and in training camp but his commitment to being ready for his new role.

“Jackson really worked hard on the fitness side of his game this summer, getting stronger and being ready to deal with the physical demands that goaltenders have in our league,” said Rockets GM Bruce Hamilton.

“He’s done a real good job and now it’s his turn to show us that he’s capable of handling the load.

I’m hoping he can get 60 games in this year and carry the bulk of the work for us.”

Following in the footsteps of the Canadian Hockey League’s goal-

tender of the year can be an intimidating prospect for an aspiring major junior netminder. Not so for Whistle, who plans use the experience of watching Cooke the last two years to his full advantage as Kelowna’s new No. 1 man.

“Just the way Jordon works, he played a lot of games and worked so hard in practise,” said Whistle.

“It was huge watching him do that and it pushed both of us, kept me trying to work as hard as he did.

That’s what I’ll try and carry into this year.

Among the most highly-touted newcomers are a pair of 1999-born players—defenceman Nolan Kneen (North Shore), a third overall bantam pick of the Kamloops Blazers, and local product Lucas Cullen, a the captain of the Kelowna bantam AAA Rockets.

If the Rockets can have their roster finalized by Sunday night, Michaud said it will give Ferguson and assistant Dave Whistle two full weeks to get to know this year’s revamped roster and to prepare for the start of the season.

The Rockets will take on the Northeast Chiefs in the home opener Saturday, Sept. 20 at the Capital News Centre.

ting too high or low when things are going good or bad,” Whistle continued.

“Just keep it flat line across the board…so I feel pretty good going in.”

Led by Madison Bowey, Mitch Wheaton and Cole Martin, Whistle will have arguably one of the WHL’s best defensive corps in front of him this season.

And while he assures it won’t lead him to relax too much in the crease, Whistle admits it provides him with a certain sense of security.

“Obviously it’s very nice to know that your D-men know what they’re doing out there,” Whistle. “We have a very good D-corps that does a good job in front of their goalies.”

Whistle will attend the Vancouver Canucks’ rookie camp next week in Penticton, before returning to the Rockets prior to the start of the regular season on Saturday, Sept. 20.

Whistle will likely be backed up this season by either rookie Jake Morrissey, 17, from Calgary, or Christopher Tai, 18, a Delta native who has WHL experience with Lethbridge, Brandon and Medicine Hat. Both goaltenders will remain with the team heading into the Rockets’ exhibition games this weekend in Delta. Kelowna will play the Giants on Saturday and Victoria on Sunday.

The half marathon (21.1 kilometres/13.1 miles) kicks off at 7 a.m. at The Vibrant Vine Winery, which offers breathtaking views Okanagan Lake, the surrounding mountains and downtown Kelowna. The course meanders past vineyards, farms and apple orchards, along the East Bench of Kelowna before merging onto the Mission Creek Greenway.

The final six kilometers of the course runs along the edge of Okanagan Lake, culminating with a grand finish at Waterfront Park.

“The pristine Okanagan Valley provides a picturesque backdrop to this half marathon, and sets the stage for a fun weekend of activities, fine wines, and an opportunity to simply hit the reset button,” says Matt Dockstader, Founder and Race Director of Destination Races. “The Okanagan Valley is hidden gem in the wine producing world and the community of Kelowna has provided us with a cultural center that embraces not only an active lifestyle, but encourages the social narrative around wine.”

A two-person relay option is also available in addition to the team and individual registration for the half marathon. For more information and to register, go to destinationraces.com/runbc. Destination Races and its winery partners go the extra mile to offer a truly unique wine country destination experience.

CROUCH- ALEX WILLIAM Passed away peacefully with family at his side on September 3rd after a brief battle with cancer.

He is survived by his loving wife of 65 years Joan, children Joady (Larry) Davis, Monte (Lorie), Ian (Wendy), 6 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren.

Predeceased by his brother Roy. Alex was born in Victoria June 18, 1925 and resided there until he enlisted in the Canadian Scottish Regiment (militia).

Injuries received during active services in the Canadian Army led to an interest and future career in physiotherapy .

After his training in Toronto Alex returned to set up practice in Campbell River. He formed and chaired a study group that eventually built and operated the first double corridor general hospital in Canada. Family health issues led to relocation to Kelowna in 1964 where Alex pursued a longtime passion in horticulture. He developed the first high density hedgerow planting. He returned to physio practice and care in 1978 for an additional 20 years until his retirement. Throughout these years Alex followed his keen interests in gardening and fishing while maintaining his long standing memberships with the Kelowna Golf and Country Club and Probus.

In lieu of flowers donations to the Central Okanagan Hospice Association, #104- 1456 St. Paul Street, Kelowna, BC V1Y 2E6 Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com and searching her name under stories.

Welcome to the driver’s seat

Visit the GMC Yukon gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

The Yukon is GMC Yukon territory Inside It’s hard to believe but GMC has never held The long wheelbase model is an ima vehicle launch for the Yukon full-sized posing truck and a favourite of large SUV in the Yukon Territory, until now. families that need the third row of Media from across Canada landed in seating, plus a functional cargo area.

Whitehorse and travelled around the The more popular short wheelbase territory recently in the all-new 2015 GMC offers a lot of room as well but when Yukon model, ending up in the famous gold the third row of seats is employed rush time capsule of Dawson City. From the wooden sidewalks to the gravel covered The Denali offers the cargo area is diminished. On all but the base model, the second streets, this preserved part of history looks most of the same and third row of seats can be folded and feels much the way it would when gold features as the more and store electronically. The Denali was first discovered in 1896. The Yukon is is exceptionally well equipped and also a great test for this big truck because expensive Cadillac of the immense stretches of unpopulated Escalade but is more shows great attention to detail, with the aluminum trim around the radio roads with smooth sections, potholes and and heat controls, leather seating loose gravel. The Yukon has it all, including use-friendly and less expensive. with French stitching. What the GMC spectacular vistas, wide-open space and Yukon offers over the Cadillac cousin spectacular scenery. Spending three days Zack Spencer is a simpler dashboard layout with behind the wheel made me realize what traditional rotary knobs and buttons, a good job GMC has done with this truck, whereas the Cadillac has moved to touch sensitive from fuel economy to creature comforts. panels that take time to master.

Looks Drive Last year, GM introduced the Chevrolet Silverado and The Yukon is offered with two engine choices, the GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks. In fact, the Silver5.3L 355hp V8 in the base SLE and middle SLT Yukon ado won the North American Truck of the Year and models and the 6.2L V8 in the Denali. This 6.2L engine the GMC Sierra won the AJAC truck of the year. With is also used in the Escalade. There are several reasons a solid basis, the engineers then went about building to consider the Denali over the base 5.3L engine. the full-sized SUVs based on the truck chassis. They The first is the inclusion of the magnetic ride control include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC system that is also available in the Escalade. This sysYukon and Denali, plus the Cadillac Escalade. These tem adapts the suspension up to 100 times per second represent a huge profit centre for General Motors and and performed well on a variety of road surfaces in they needed to get them right. The GMC Yukon is the the Yukon. The second is a noise cancelling system most popular of the bunch with one-in-three full-sized that pumps sound waves through the Denali’s stereo SUV buyers choosing the Yukon, which is opposite system to help eliminate unwanted road and engine to the United States where the Chevrolet trucks noise. The third reason is the mighty 6.2L engine with dominate. The top Yukon Denali model traditionally 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Because this engine represents about 35 per cent of all Yukon sales but and the 5.3L have direct injection, variable value timin the first few months of sales, it has captured more ing and most importantly, cylinder management, the than 60 per cent.

SEAT SALE

V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption.

With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year.

AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg.

Verdict The Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca The Lowdown Power: 5.3L V8 with 355 hp or 6.2L V8 with 420 hp Fill-up: 16.2L/11.4L/100 km (city/highway) Sticker price: $51,800-$75,540
