Black Press Staff edit@kelownacapnews.com

An increasingly competitive world tourism market is making it harder for B.C. to set itself apart, but the natural geography of the province is something that B.C. will continue to market under a revitalization of the Super, Natural British Columbia brand.

“I thank God everyday we are not Saskatchewan,” said Marsha Walden, Destination B.C. president, speaking at the annual general meeting of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association, discussing a provincial strategy centred on setting a new direction for the brand.

Super, Natural will be repackaged, becoming the basis of a new marketing philosophy emphasizing B.C.’s wilderness, said Walden.

“We believe a bold new brand platform is what is needed to dramatically set us apart from all the competitors that exist in the world today,”she said. “We need to be putting out a brand that really ignites the imagination of people—that causes them to give us a second look.”

At Tourism Kelowna,

CEO Nancy Cameron said Destination B.C. has done a fabulous job refreshing the brand with a new approach.

“With brands you have to massage and tweak them and that’s what Destination B.C. has done,” said Cameron.

“They held consultations around the province. They had no preconceptions.

They came back and realized that Super, Natural B.C. was still relevant and could be made current. You have to catch consumer’s attention and catch their curiosity so as they research your destination they find out the magnitude of the things that are available in B.C. and in the Okanagan.”

Global travel is expected to double by 2030, with growth in affluent older adults travelling without children, seeking authentic experiences, what Walden described as “free spirits and cultural explorers.”

“The basis of marketing competition is changing,” said Walden, explaining that the goal of Destination B.C.’s three-year strategy is to make B.C. the most highly recommended destination in North America. At the core of the reinvigorated brand is

‘Reinvigorating’ Super, Natural B.C.

Marsha Walden, Destination B.C. president spoke to the annual general meeting of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association in Penticton and said the basis of marketing competiton is changing, so B.C.’s brand is being “reinvigorated.” “powerful nature.”

“It is not just nature, it is this idea of wilderness, which is unique in B.C. Our ocean, our rugged coastlines, our massive mountains and this idea of cities that are perched in wilderness are emotionally captivating

for our visitors,” said Maya Lange, vicepresident of global marketing for Destination B.C. “Our new brand is built on this true nature for B.C. To experience B.C. is to be renewed and transformed. At our core, we are wild at heart. it is

who we are, it is what we are and it is how visitors feel when they experience us.”

An example of the new brand is the Wild Within video (tinyurl.com/ wildbc), which Walden said was only posted to Youtube to gather

input from provincial stakeholders. It has now received almost a 250,000 views.

TOTA CEO Glen Mandziuk thinks this region, which is already working under a 10year strategy launched in 2012, is well-positioned to capitalize on the new plan and refreshed brand.

“I think what we saw was good research went behind the marketing brand that was put together and shown to us, and now it’s our opportunity to leverage the ideas that come from that,” he said.

“It’s a fresh look to it. It’s actually more appropriate to the market, it’s fun, it’s a little more bold, and it’s something we’re pleased to see happen. And I think it’s something we in the Okanagan can really plug ourselves into.”

For Cameron and the rest of Tourism Kelowna, the refreshing of the Super, Natural brand means a strong provincial strategy to market to international tourists and that will help the Okanagan.

“I think that’s our strength as a province,” said Cameron. “Every community has that strength because of the geography and where we are situated. It’s a

common element for every community that we have this strength of natural beauty that surrounds us all.”

Across the region, tourism organizations have been positive about the new brand.

Tourism Penticton executive director Chris Bower is also glad Destination B.C. is taking time to consult with industry on the finer details of the plan and that it is retaining the core Super, Natural brand.

“I think it’s very positive rather than trying to do a whole new rebrand, because that’s what the consumer knows us as in British Columbia.”

Ange Chew, tourism manager for the City of Vernon, hopes the new strategy will help shoot B.C. to the top of potential visitors’ mustsee lists.

“Like they said, it’s bringing back the emotive connection to drive the urgency,” she said.

“When you’re competing on the world market with rain forests that are depleting and other world destinations that have more drive, it’s hard, so I do like and support the direction they’re going in.” with files from Steve Kidd, Joe Fries, and Kevin Parnell

Outgoing TOTA chairman says B.C. brand “kicks ass” Steve Kidd contributor

Michael Ballingall said this has been a stellar year for tourism in the Thompson Okanagan.a Ballingall, outgoing chair of the Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association and vicepresident of the Big White Ski Resort, gave his last address at the TOTA AGM

Wednesday.

“I am not going to say everyone had the best year in their history, but a lot of people were reporting they had best years, and that is exciting,” said Ballingall, who touched on social media, accessibility and the renewal of the 30-year-old Super Natural B.C. brand in his speech.

“I don’t know if

you have been on the (Destination B.C.) website, but go. Engage our brand,” he said. “Our brand kicks ass.

“Super Natural B.C. is one of the strongest brands in the world and members of TOTA have their fingerprints all over that brand.”

Now that the brand renewal is rolling out, Ballingall said it was the

membership’s turn to get on the bandwagon and start doing what they could do to contribute.

“I just encourage you to do the simplest things, because when we do those in numbers, we make a difference,” said Ballingall.

“Everybody doesn’t think that a Dash 8 landing in Penticton can make a difference. It

does.”

Ballingall focused on transportation through much of his speech.

Along with WestJet’s addition of direct flights between Calgary and Penticton, he noted their direct flights from Kelowna to Fort McMurray, United Airlines adding a flight to San Francisco, and Pacific Coastal adding flights

between Cranbrook and Kelowna.

“There is a positive vibe out there,” said Ballingall, noting the expansion in accommodation and housing throughout the region.

“We have people that want to relocate here.

They want to live the dream and we happen to work the dream.”

We live in supernatural

B.C., the world wants to come and play with us. We are the area that is going to drive tourism in B.C. The rest of the province is full.

“We are the ones that have bed capacity, we have the lakes, we have the resorts that can take more people,” said Ballingall.

news _____________________________________________________________________ MATTHEW FOERSTER

Killer pleads guilty to two more attacks Kathy Michaels

and when she looked up she noticed that Foerster had a handgun tucked into his pants. He removed it and held it at his side.

She asked Foerster if he was going to shoot her.

He said, no.

When she asked what he wanted, he replied, “I want you.”

She twice told him she was going to pass out.

Then he left.

The young woman told Mounties in Cherryville who her attacker was.

They called him into the station, but his father Stephen Foerster insisted on being in the interview room. While there, he offered an alibi for the time of the attack and the matter was not pursued further, according to the statement of fact.

It wasn’t until Matthew Foerster was arrested for Van Diest’s Oct. 31, 2011 murder, he admitted to the attack on the Cherryville woman.

“I liked her at the time… I just never thought it would work,” Foerster told a police officer as he was being interrogated about Van Diest.

That interest left longlasting damage.

kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Matthew Foerster made a reappearance in a Kelowna courtroom this week to face up to two violent attacks he made on women before killing Armstrong teen, Taylor Van Diest.

For a 2004 break and enter and assault on a Cherryville woman he was sentenced Wednesday to six years in prison. For a sexual assault of a Garden of Eden sex trade worker in 2005, he also received a six-year sentence.

The 28-year-old from Cherryville, who kept his eyes downcast throughout his most recent round of court proceedings, will serve those terms concurrent to the life sentence he started serving for Van Diest’s murder earlier this year, as per the direction laid out in the Criminal Code.

The guilty pleas will make little difference in his day to day life, however, they are a milestone in the lives of his victims, one of whom appeared in court to tell her attacker the ways his violent act changed her life.

“On the day I was attacked, I woke up and blood was coming out of my head. There was so much blood, it covered my body,” Kaili Paul said in court as she revisited the events of Oct. 19,

New parking lot for the ER at KGH A new parking lot for patients and visitors to the emergency department at Kelowna General Hospital is now open.

The new lot is located on Royal Avenue between Long and Pandosy Streets, directly across from the emergency department. There are 42 public pay parking spots that are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The hourly rate is $1.50 with a four hour limit.

The new lot provides not only public parking, but also adds parking for Interior Health employees as well.

KGH says the new lot will help to alleviate pressures on the neighbourhood from those parking on side streets.

2004. Her voice shook, and Foerster continued to stare at the ground in front of him.

“I have never been so scared in my life,” she continued.

According to an agreed statement of fact read into the record by Crown counsel Iain Currie, Paul was 19-years-old at the time of the attack, and asleep in her Cherryville home when Foerster broke into her room, grabbed her and knocked her head against her bedroom wall.

“Come with me,” he said, referring to Paul by name.

She knew the voice, as Foerster was a friend of her younger brother.

However, she never addressed him by name as she was disoriented, in pain and afraid.

She fell to the floor in the hallway of her home,

Paul’s head was split open during the attack, she temporarily lost hearing and her jaw was damaged. Muscle pain followed, but the most significant damage was emotional.

“I will never be the person I was before the attack,” she told the court, as tears streamed down her face.

Sleep no longer comes easy and she moved from her hometown, suspicious of those around her and continually stressed.

It’s affected her ability to work, and form relationships.

Foerster’s next victim wasn’t in court Wednesday, but her story was outlined in the agreed statement of fact.

Currie told the court that Foerster went to the Garden of Eden escort agency in downtown Kelowna in the interest of procuring some services.

The woman gave Foerster a tour of the facility, and when she was alone with him, he pulled out a knife, and had her comply to two sexual acts without her consent.

Foerster also confessed to that attack after the arrest for Van Diest’s murder.

Are You Taking Care of Your Shoulder Pain? Discover a New Option.

Shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis.

Many of us learn to live with it and think, “It’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS

Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury.

Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.

It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.

Glenmore Chiropractic

Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury.

Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked… what do I do?”

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis.

Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

“I just wanted her to do what I had on my mind,” he told police.

“Then it was like another f---ing person took over my body.”

It’s ultimately DNA that tied Foerster to Taylor Van Diest’s murder. What was found under the teen’s fingernails matched what was found in the Garden of Eden worker.

Foerster is in the middle of a rehabilitative program in prison. His

lawyer, Lisa Jean Helps, said his guilty plea saved the victims the difficulty of a trial, and noted that could be taken as an expression of his remorse.

Foerster was also given a lifetime firearms prohibition and issued a no contact order with either of the victims.

An appeal of his first degree murder conviction has been filed.

Marie Van Diest— Taylor’s mother—was in

court alongside Paul and her family. She chose not to say anything afterward, but Paul’s mother pointed out that sentencing guildelines in this country are unfair to victims.

Denise Walterhouse pointed out that she believes the sentence for each attack should be tacked on to the end of Foerster’s life sentence.

That would make him ineligible for parole for 37 years.

task at hand. Wysynski was going to collect on a $400,000 drug debt and Ellis had volunteered to be the driver. For that job, Wysynski said he’d brought along a large bag of guns and ammunition.

As they entered the parking lot of the West Kelowna McDonalds, Wysynski spotted a police car he believed to be following them. “I sent Joseph in to get the food then I told (Ellis) we were being tailed,� said Wysynski.

the McDonalds parking lot, Wysynski said his theory panned out.

He assumed they were tailing them because of the guns, and he quickly decided the best course of action, given his and Ellis’s lengthy criminal histories, was to run. “I said ‘We need to get rid of these guns.

Drive like a maniac, push people out of the way,’� he told the court. “My understanding is that police have to call off the chase when you put the public in danger.�

Ellis did just that. “(He) turned his cap around, put both hands on the wheel and pushed the pedal to the floor,� said Wysynski, pointing out that they were on Boucherie Road at that point.

With two police cars tailing behind, Wysynski pulled out the .22 rifle with the folding stock. “I thought I’d pop a couple shots in their grill and we’ll get away,� he said.

As he put the cartridge in the gun, he turned to Ashley Collins and told her to cover her ears.

Wysynski told the court he had no intention to injure the officers, and has some understanding of firearms. He claimed he chose the .22 because it wasn’t high caliber

enough to shoot through the vehicle, and his aim was pretty reliable.

Growing up, he had experience with guns and was on the marksman team of the army cadets.

As his shots landed, the cars pulled over.

It appeared as though they were in the clear, but somewhere between Boucherie and Highway 97, Wysynski’s longtime friend, Joseph Elie, jumped from the vehicle and that angered him. “If any of you other f--ers think you can outrun a bullet, try it,� he recalled telling Collins and Ellis. “If you bail, I’m shooting.

We’re in this together and we’ll get out of it together.�

Wysynski told the court that his feelings of betrayal made him lethal. “To me it seemed like I was in charge and everyone knew it at the time.�

As they continued to drive Wysynski heard on the police scanner that Bennett Bridge would soon be closed if they had tried to head into Kelowna. Their best tack, he decided, was Westside Road in a new car.

He told Ellis to pull in front of the next parked car they found, so they

offered the court a completely different narrative about the events of July 31, 2012 than what had previously been laid out by Crown counsel.

In his version of events, he’s the ringleader of the plot that put police and civilians alike at risk. And Ellis was just an unarmed driver, merely following his commands.

Wysynski—who previously pleaded guilty to and was sentenced for attempted robbery and robbery charges relating to the chase—explained that he, Ellis, Ashley Collins and another friend had been at McDonalds after a fourday methamphetamine binge.

The binge, however, wasn’t the reason why they were together. They had a more pressing

Lake Country to use AAP for CN land deal Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

The District of Lake Country is proceeding with the alternative approval process to seek permission from residents to boost taxes 1.68 per cent and borrow $2.6 million to buy 16 kilometres of the CN Rail corridor that passes through Lake Country boundaries.

In a unanimous vote at Lake Country council Tuesday, the district approved three readings of a loan borrowing bylaw that sets the stages for the process as the district looks to borrow half of its $5.1 million share to purchase the rail corridor as part of a multijurisdictional group that has agreed to buy the corridor from CN Rail for

$22 million.

Coun. Bill Scarrow asked why the district couldn’t hold a referendum to poll its residents whether or not they want to purchase the rail line.

“A referendum timeline does not work with the current negotiations going on,” said Lake Country corporate services manager Reyna Seabrook. “We would not have been able to meet the deadline of March 31 with a referendum. In regard to the AAP, we have a huge communications process that we are undertaking.

There will be open houses and newspaper ads as much as possible.”

Seabrook told councillors a referendum would cost about the same as a general

election. This November’s civic election cost Lake Country more than $16,000, while the AAP has few actual costs to the district as residents must sign petitions voicing opposition.

If 10 per cent of residents oppose the tax hike to raise funds, the district must find another way to purchase the line.

“That would mean all of the partners would go back to their boards and there would be a discussion about how to proceed,” said Seabrook.

District councillors praised the chance to purchase the rail line through Lake Country and maintain control of the corridor, 16 kilometres of which runs through Lake Country.

“This is an incredible opportunity,” said Coun.

Rob Geier. “I’ve heard some residents say ‘why don’t you let Kelowna have it.’ But I don’t see that as a solution. I think it’s important that we have ownership of the land and we have full control over it.”

While the district moves forward with the AAP to raise half the funds, the other half— $2.5 million—will come in the form of an threeyear interest-free loan from Kelowna, with no timeline for repayment.

Lake Country administrator Alberto De Feo called the loan a “really good deal” for Lake Country.

“This means we have an opportunity to look at the portion of the land that is in excess of what we need for the corridor and have an opportunity

OKIB opposes CN land deal

Proponents of purchasing a railway corridor are staying the course despite highprofile opposition.

The Okanagan Indian Band has come out against the agreement local jurisdictions have signed to purchase the Canadian National line from Coldstream to Kelowna for $2 million.

The band insists the corridor is part of an outstanding land claim.

“We have no control over that and we’re working through the rules as we know it. To just stop (the purchase process), we would lose that opportunity,” said Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick.

“We’re not trying to infringe on anything with the band because we have no powers (with First Nations land claims).”

Juliette Cunningham, Greater Vernon Advisory Committee chairperson, is reluctant to comment on how the band’s opposition may impact the rail purchase.

“We will have to talk to City of Kelowna staff who have been the lead in negotiations,” she said.

Kelowna officials say they were aware of the band’s land claims with the federal government along Wood and Kalamalka lakes.

“Our understanding is that CN has the right to legally dispose of

the railway corridor and that this is a land claim issue between the OKIB and senior levels of government,” said Doug Gilchrist, Kelowna’s division director of community planning and real estate.

“The city does not take stands on land claim

issues between First Nations and senior levels of government as it’s outside of our jurisdiction.

The City of Kelowna will continue to work with the OKIB through the joint planning initiative currently underway for the mutual benefits of all our citizens.”

The corridor is part of the Commonage claim, which the band says was created when reserve land was taken away from the band in the late 1800s.

“In our eyes, the resolution of the OKIB’s entitlement to the

SEE CN PAGE A10

to sell that land at whatever market value there is and pay back the City of Kelowna,” said De Feo. “In the end, the memorandum of understanding with Kelowna is pretty favourable in that there is

no specific deadline that we have to pay back the city.”

The 30-day AAP process won’t start until mid-January. Lake Country councillors will be asked to formally approve the process at their meeting Jan. 6

before the district can advertise the process.

Forms to sign in opposition to the borrowing bylaw will be available at Lake Country municipal hall, as well as on its web site at okanaganway.ca. @KP_media1

Opinion

Generations to come will thank us for Rail/Trail To the editor: This September, four of us from the Okanagan travelled to Austria, specifically to cycle a 600 km route between Salzburg and Bratislava and back to Vienna.

LETTER OF THE WEEK

The Austrian route, which is mainly along river areas, is much like we envision our Okanagan Rail Trail could become. It was one of the best trips we have ever taken and we highly recommend it for people of all ages.

Europe has done a magnificent job in making these bike trails a great tourist destination. Their trails meander through rural country and small towns, farmland and vineyards much like those in our area.

The spin offs to small businesses, artists, B&Bs, cycle shops, restaurants, (the list goes on) are

substantial. We are so pleased that the District of Lake Country and the other municipalities have progressed this far in making the trail a reality.

We have told many people about our trip and the economic benefits the trail would bring to our area.

You need to take a trip like we had to realize how much it means to the people we met in Austria.

Bicycles are everywhere, the health benefits and pure enjoyment of it all are immense. None of us in the group that cycled Austria are young but we are active seniors and we expect to enjoy our local trail when it is completed.

Future generations will be happy we protected this area for them— it will benefit local businesses and provide much needed jobs for our community. The annual householder cost of about $27 per year, is one of the best investments we can make. We feel that is a very reasonable amount to acquire this large property, so let’s move ahead with this opportunity before it is lost forever.

Horgan on LNG, climate and farmland Following are highlights Victoria News from Tom Fletcher’s yearend interview TOM with NDP leader FLETCHER John Horgan.

TF: The B.C. Liberal government has given every indication they’re going to proceed with the Site C dam on the Peace River. What do you think?

JH: I’ve always maintained that it’s a good project, but it’s a question of when to add another $8-9-1012 billion onto the backs of ratepayers.

First of all, go to the B.C. Utilities Commission and find out if this is the power you need and if this is the time to build it. The government refuses to do that, and I think that’s just an Achilles heel in this process.

TF: You voted for the liquefied natural gas income tax to provide certainty, and then you immediately said you would work to increase the LNG tax in 2017, before any major project could be started.

How is that certainty?

community in this sector knew there was bipartisan support for LNG in British Columbia. But we went from a seven per cent [tax] to a 3.5 per cent because of a softening market.

If there is a decline in return to the province because of a softening market, then surely over a 25-year period—not just between now and 2017, but if the market conditions change and prices go up—I think British Columbians would want their government to make sure they were getting a fair share of that benefit.

TF: Why did you vote against the LNG environmental legislation?

JH: They said prior to the election that LNG would be the greenest in the world. And then when they tabled legislation they left out 70 per cent of the emissions from upstream activity.

TF: Gordon Campbell’s great goal for greenhouse gases, 33 per cent reduction by 2020, can that be reached assuming a substantial LNG development?

JH: I find it difficult to believe that they’re going to achieve those results. [Environment Minister] Mary Polak has a different point of view, and our job as opposition is to hold them accountable to the numbers that they passed into law, and we’re going to do that.

transportation, where emission profiles can be managed downward is transportation. And the government has wasted 18 months talking about a referendum on [Metro Vancouver transit.]

TF: What’s your top priority for 2015?

JH: I think the public is going to increasingly find affordability issues to be the challenge. We didn’t spend as much time as I had hoped to on hydro rate increases, ICBC. When the government balanced the budget, they did it by selling assets, and by increasing costs at their Crown corporations and then pulling that revenue in for budget purposes.

We’re going to have to use new technologies and means of communication to better explain to people what the government’s doing to them.

TF: What should happen with the agricultural land reserve?

JH: I don’t think there was a groundswell of opposition to the ALR, quite the opposite in fact, and the commission has in my opinion, infinite flexibility to meet the demands of development in northern areas as well as urban centres.

I’m going to make sure that agriculture critic Lana Popham, who as you know is fearless on this issue, is let loose on Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick, and we’re going to dog this issue up to the next election.

Chance for rail/trail ‘will never come our way again’

Vet saved a poisoned pet To the editor: I live in Westview Village Mobile Home Park. My story started in early December when I let my dogs out in the yard at 8 a.m. to do their business. By 10 a.m. one of my dogs was vomiting, this progressed and then she lost her balance. When I checked her vomit, I noticed that there was several bright red clots.

I took her to the local vet office, Rose Valley Veterinary Clinic. Dr. Oz diagnosed her as having ingested rat poison. Â Her treatment over the next two days included x-rays, IV fluids, antibiotics and antidote.

I am writing for two reasons.

1. All pet owners in Westview village should take note that someone out there is dropping rat poison over people’s fences (I have a six-foot fence) and 2. I have dealt with a lot of vets over my past 60 years and this man (Dr. Oz) is one of the best that I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He took care of my dog, he started to work on her immediately and had her resting peacefully within a few minutes. He took care of me as I was mess—crying and stressed. He reassured me that he would do the best he could for her.

He even stayed overnight with her in the clinic and he worked with me on the financial part of my bill as I have been unemployed since last April and on a very fixed income. Â I could not have gotten better service.

And it is with pleasure that I can say my dog, Masa, is alive and well today.

Shyan Desrosiers, West Kelowna

Surreptitious dealings in WK To the editor: Throughout the West Kelowna district election, voters were told that no deal had yet been done on a new city hall and there was plenty of time for public input.

In a Dec. 2 interview, West Kelowna Mayor Findlater said: “One of the hot topics during the campaign was the location of a new city hall or civic centre, and if it ought to be built at all‌If council accepts the staff recommendation the concept will go out for extensive public consultation. We may change our minds after we hear the report.â€?

Before the ink was dry on their inauguration, it was plain that Findlater and his complicit councillors misled the public.

During the election, Findlater and incumbents refused to discuss the “city centre project� (their promotional phrase for “new municipal office space,�) saying that it was not sufficiently advanced to be brought to the electorate. In fact, Findlater and the 2013 council, which included councillors Zanon, Winsby, Opus, and De Jong, along with two former councillors who were not returned to office, had already finalized a deal for a new town hall on Elliott Road. This deal can only be stopped by the public referendum they are forced to hold under the B.C. Municipal Act when they borrow millions of dollars for this palace for politicians. Only new Councillors Neis and Ensign were not part of this deception.

Were Findlater and his followers concerned that contentious debate about the new town hall might threaten their re-election? Findlater acknowledged that there was definitely skepticism about the rationale for borrowing millions of dollars so that staff and council could have shiny new offices at rents that

private businesses cannot afford to pay.

It may be the only way to have a real debate over a new town hall is to force council to hold a referendum. Perhaps voters would even be treated to a full disclosure of the consulting reports that council has refused to share with the public. Of course, under the Municipal Act, Findlater could dodge the referendum by using the alternative approval process. Under this process, the new building deal would go ahead unless at least 10 per cent of the public petitioned to force a referendum on borrowing the money for the project. But the ever-cagey Findlater is betting that public apathy will work in his favour on this one.

But wouldn’t it be sweet justice to see this turned into Findlater’s Folly? There are many more urgent capital projects in West Kelowna than new municipal offices—a reliable power grid, urgently needed water system upgrades, several hundred kilometers of open drainage ditches, street lights and sidewalks, poor traffic flow, just to name a few. And the public may not be too pleased that the municipal government chooses to spend taxpayer dollars on office space that is 25 per cent to 30 per cent higher than market rent in Westbank.

Did Findlater and followers pull one over on the electorate? The only way the public will get its say is to insist on a referendum.

Sadly, it cannot look to Findlater and followers for due process and full disclosure.

To the editor: With reference to Guy Bissonette’s letter to Capital News of Dec. 10 [What Will Rail/ Trail Cost Us?], I have empathy with his concern that Lake Country residents could, as currently proposed, be disproportionately disadvantaged with the monetary burden of the purchase of the CN Rail line. That said, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase a Vernon to Kelowna corridor for pedestrian/cycling/rapid transit use. It will never come our way again.

Just like the Myra Canyon trestles have become both a local resident and tourist draw to the Okanagan Valley, so will this corridor. We cannot really imagine how this corridor will evolve over the decades to come, but suffice to say, our future generations will thank us for the forward vision we took back in 2014. All the great undertakings our country has taken over the decades took foresight, faith, financial commitment and some upfront risk.

It is not inconceivable the Kelowna to Vernon corridor could triple or quadruple in size over the next 50 years, nor is it inconceivable that Lake Country could see a disproportionate share of this growth over that same period, potentially rivalling Kelowna itself in residential, commercial and industrial presence. Imagine how much congestion and density could come with that growth and how a well developed, uninterrupted single or multi-purpose greenway/corridor could contribute to our collective wellbeing.

Perhaps there is a way for the municipalities to share some of Lake Country’s initial upfront burden, such as a longer-term low-interest loan to Lake Country, solicitation of contributions from adjacent municipalities such as West Kelowna that will also benefit from this corridor, or a disproportionate share of revenues that might be generated in the future from use of the corridor itself.

There is plenty of time to work out the details. But at the very least, let’s not squander the opportunity to bring this once in a lifetime opportunity to fruition.

Band says it’s talking to lawyer Commonage Reserve remains outstanding business,� said Byron Louis, Okanagan Indian Band chief. “We offered the mayors the opportunity to back our claim. First, it would have helped to build much needed bridges between parties and cultures and second, it would have saved the taxpayers $22 million.�

The band has forwarded the issue to legal counsel for further review, but that hasn’t halted optimism among the Okanagan Rail Trail Initiative that a recreational corridor can be developed. “This doesn’t surprise me because there’s still an unresolved issue,� said Brad Clements, initiative president, of the band’s concerns about the land purchase. “All of us in the Okanagan need to understand the history and where the band is coming from. It’s part of the process. There will still be a solution.�

Ellis said: “drive like a maniac”

could transfer.

It was a blue Subaru, and Wysynski said he was going to take it by force, but Collins pointed out there was a child inside,

so they moved on. They tried to take more cars, each time with Wysynski in charge, and armed.

By the time they caught up with police again, Wysynski was in the passenger side of a black

truck and Ellis was still driving.

“At first I thought (the police car in front of us) would lead us through, but he started to slow down…. I leaned out the window and whipped off

four to five shots and he kept coming,” he said.

Then he ordered Ellis to “ram him,” and Ellis complied. Wysynski said he fired around eight shots at the RCMP truck, knowing the gun would

only do minimal damage.

Ultimately, police got the upper hand with a spike belt. As the black truck lost power, the two men made a run for it, with Collins laying in the box of the truck, wounded.

During menopause, hormonal changes in the body trigger a range of symptoms that can include: hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. Many of these symptoms can be eased and even be prevented with the use of natural products and lifestyle changes. Here are three key areas to address as women approach menopausal years: Support Adrenal Function Adrenal glands are intended to supplement hormones when the ovaries stop producing them. However, stress and environmental factors often cause these hormones to become depleted before menopause. Taking an adrenal support product can assist in overall balance and energy.

Balance Hormones Symptoms of menopause often increase when there is a fluctuation in hormones.

Products such as indole-3-carbinol, vitex, sulforaphane, and black cohosh have all been proven to aid in hormone balance and protection from environmental toxins that can affect hormones.

“I ran toward an RV, but it sped away,” he said. “Then I lay down with my arms out.”

Ellis was hit while running by a police car, and the two were taken into custody.

When asked if he and Ellis had discussed this storyline since their arrest, Wysynski said no. He was merely telling the facts as he remembered them, although he had taken notes during witness testimony at the preliminary hearing.

Crown Counsel Murray Kaay wondered why he didn’t reveal this before he was sentenced for the lesser charges. Wysynski said when he was offered a deal to plead guilty to attempted armed robbery and robbery, he was happy to take it. Those charges came with a significantly lesser sentence to the attempted murder charges he’d faced alongside Ellis before the deal was struck. What Wysynski says in one hearing can’t be used against him in another.

Closing arguments should start today. Ellis is facing 22 charges, including attempted murder.

WHEELCHAIR RUGBY

Kelowna’s Hickling headed for B.C. hall

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

With a blend of guile, physicality and natural skill, Garett Hickling was, in his prime, considered the top wheelchair rugby player in the world.

Next spring, the Kelowna man’s exploits on the court will be formally acknowledged and celebrated with his induction into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame.

Hickling, a winner of eight international medals during his career with Team Canada, is humbled by the recognition.

“I never thought about it or dreamed of this, I was just doing what I loved to do,” said Hickling. “I was shocked and surprised, but very happy to receive this honour.”

Hickling, who now resides in Dorchester, Ont., near London, was rendered a functioning quadriplegic at just 16 after falling off a cliff in Kelowna.

Active in athletics all his life, Hickling soon developed a passion for wheelchair sports, eventually choosing rugby over basketball in 1992.

It was clearly natural fit for Hickling who went on to earn MVP honours in each of the first three Wheelchair Rugby World Championships in 1995, 1998 and 2002. He also helped Canada to the gold medal at worlds in 2002.

A member of the Canadian national team for 17 years, he competed in five Paralympic Games, including 2012 in London where the Canadians won silver.

Kathy Newman, the former executive director of the B.C. Wheelchair Sports Association, said few athletes in the sport have been able to match Hickling’s combination of talent and passion for the game.

“Garett was an amazing player, he had eyes in the back of his head,” said Kathy Newman, the former executive director off the B.C. Wheelchair Sports Association. “He always knows where to go and to be on the floor, he’s super fast and is always ready to play.

“He was so wellrespected around the world with the way he played the game.”

For him, playing really created his caring character and he’s taken the opportunity to give back.”

Kathy Newman, former exec. dir., B.C. Wheelchair Sports Association KEVIN BOGETTI-SMITH/B.C. WHEELCHAIR SPORTS

Warren Henderson

Kelowna’s Garett Hickling won three world championship MVP awards in wheelchair rugby.

Today, at 44, Hickling may not be the dominant force he once was on the court, but still plays the game with skill and fervour, helping Ontario to four straight national titles.

Hickling has also been a key figure in the steady

growth of wheelchair rugby in Southern Ontario over the last four years, and was recently hired as the province’s talent and development coach.

Hickling said it’s a chance to give back to a sport that’s provided him with more than 20 years

of joy and fulfillment.

“The game has given me so much over the years, I never imagined it would take me where it did,” said Hickling. “I want to give back, to try and help players get to that next level, maybe get them to the Paralympics.

It’s something I was able to experience I want others to be able to do the same.”

As much as he will be remembered for his accomplishments on the court, Kathy Newman points to Hickling’s selfless work away from the hardwood as perhaps his most important contributions to the sport.

“If I asked for help, whether we went into schools or into rehab centres, he never said no,” said Nemwan. “He did whatever he could to further the sport and to promote physical activity.

“For him, playing really created his caring character and he’s taken the opportunity to give back,” Newman added.

“He has shown if you have spinal injury, there are opportunities to be

involved and live a full and enjoyable life. He will be a role model for wheelchair sports for years to come.”

As for his career highlights, Hickling said serving as Canada’s flag bearer for the 2012 Paralympic Games rates near the top of the list, while MVP awards at three world championships and a gold medal at worlds aren’t far behind.

Still, awards and medals aside, Hickling is simply thankful for the life experiences wheelchair rugby have afforded him. “I’ve travelled a lot, meeting players and teams from all over the world. Those are things I’ll never forget.

I’d have never done this all without (wheelchair rugby).”

Among those joining Hickling in the athlete category in the B.C. hall will be former NHLer Paul Kariya and Olympic speed skating medialist Denny Morrison. The inductees will be enshrined into the B.C, Sports Hall of Fame at the 47th annual Banquet of Champions May 28 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

Rockets’ Merkley to Top Prospects Game As the WHL’s reigning rookie of the year and the league’s current leading scorer, Nick Merkley has turned more than a few heads during his first year and a half of major junior hockey.

National Hockey League scouts will be paying particular attention to the Kelowna Rockets’ forward when he takes to the ice Jan. 22 in St. Catharines, Ont.

Nick Merkley

for the 2015 CHL Top Prospects Game.

Merkley is one of 40

players who have been invited to skate in the annual showcase of the top draft-eligible talent from across the Canadian Hockey League.

The 5-foot-10 Calgary native is one of 22 players in the game who is considered an ‘A’-list prospect by NHL Central Scouting and has been forecast as a likely first-round pick in next summer’s draft.

Merkley will suit up for Team Orr, coached by NHL legend Bobby Orr. Merkley has 10 goals and league-leading 55 points in 36 games this season.

This season’s event marks the 20th annual showcase of the CHL’s draft-eligible players, featuring talent from the Ontario Hockey League, Western Hockey League, and Quebec Major Junior

Hockey Leagues.

In the past 19 years, 265 players from the Top Prospects Game have been selected in the first round of the NHL Draft representing 47 per cent of all players chosen in the first round.

ROCKETS ROLL INTO XMAS… The Rockets finished off their five-game, preChristmas tour of Alberta in style Wednesday with

With a combined one game of BCHL experience, Mike Lenko and Coleton Lancaster will be responsible for West Kelowna’s goaltending duties this weekend when the Warriors take on the Interior Division-leading Penticton Vees in a homeand-home set.

In the last games before the holiday break, the Warriors and Vees will face off Friday at the South Okanagan Events Centre, then again Saturday night at Royal LePage Place.

With the Warriors’ top two goaltenders— Andy Desautels and Scott Patton—both sidelined, Lenko made his BCHL debut Tuesday and recorded a 5-3 victory over the visiting Trail Smoke Eaters.

Lenko, 17, from Gabriola Island, has been playing this season with the Revelstoke Grizzlies of

the KIJHL, while Lancaster, 16, plays with the Pursuit of Excellence midget prep team in Kelowna.

Warriors head coach and GM said under the circumstances, Lenko did a stellar job in stopping 27 shots in the win over Trail.

“I thought he played well and gave us a chance and that’s all you can expect,” said Ferster. “To come in and play like that, full marks to him he played well for us.”

Despite some nervous moments early on, Lenko was happy with his BCHL debut.

“The first few minutes was a bit nerve wracking but the guys helped me through it,” Lenko said.

“It was really fun out here, I really enjoyed it.”

No. 1 goaltender Desautels had an emergency appendectomy on Saturday and is in recovery, while Patton

Ferster is hoping the holiday break will allow his top two netminders to heal up and be ready to go as soon as possible after Christmas.

“I’ve never seen a situation like this before,” said Ferster. “But injuries are a part of hockey and we’ll just deal with it the best we can.”

The Warriors (18-10-05), who have won three in a row, are in third spot in the Interior Division, 14 points back of first-place Penticton (26-4-2-1).

The 20-year-old from Rochester, NY, will join the Sun Devils for the start of the 2015-16 varsity season.

“It’s great for him,” said Warriors head coach and GM Rylan Ferster.

“He’s spent two years in our league and plays hard every night. He never takes a shift off.”

Masters has been one of the BCHL team’s top offensive players this season, with eight goals and 23 points in his first 22 games.

Masters is looking forward to joining the ASU program.

“In talking with

Masters is the first BCHLer to commit to attend Arizona State University, as it will compete in Div.1 hockey for the first time, moving their national champion club program into the NCAA’s highest level over the course of three seasons.

sports ____________________________________________________________________ NATIONAL FIGURE SKATING

Kelowna skaters matched up well against some of the country’s best at the 2014 Skate Canada Challenge last week in Pierrefonds, Que. Ten local skaters took part in the event which serves as the national championships for the pre-novice level.

In the pre-novice women’s division, Kelowna’s Olivia Gran skated to a fifth-place finish in the field of 54 skaters. Her total score of 90.69 would leave her less than one point off the podium. Rochelle Reeve, also representing the Kelowna Skating Club, finished 13th.

At the novice, junior, and senior levels, the Challenge is a qualifying round for the Canadian Championships, although all of the skaters at each level competed against each other in this round.

At the Novice level, Rachel Pettitt of Whitehorse, although she trains at the Kelowna Skating Club, finished second amongst the top 54 skaters in Canada.

Canadians, to be held at Kingston in January, on the strength of top-18 finishes.

At the junior women’s level, Kelowna’s Cailey England scored a total of 122.74 points to capture the bronze medal in a 48-skater field.

England, a 17-year-old OKM student, landed a pair of spectacular triple lutzes during her segments. She has also qualified to the Canadian Championships.

On the men’s side, Kelowna’s Kelly Basisty finished in 20th overall.

At the senior women’s level, 16-year-old Julianne Delaurier scored 125.2 point through her short and free program segments, good for ninth place overall and a berth to the top level of the Canadians. She will be the third female singles skater representing Kelowna at this level in the past eight years, and fourth in club history.

The 5-foot-10, 155-pound Gill will shore up the defensive end for his defensive-minded new coach in Zanatta.

Currently playing rightback for his BC Soccer Premier League team as well as previously for his Abbotsford Traditional Secondary School team, he expects to step into a similar role for the Heat next year.

“A lot of players don’t enjoy defending because you don’t necessarily receive the praise that some of the attacking players do,” he said,

beginning to eschew his pride in his position, adding that “I very much enjoy it. It also provides me the opportunities to venture up the field and attack as well.”

When on the attack, Gill claims confidence in his playmaking ability, citing an aptitude in delivering quality passes into the 18 yard box to set up the goal.

Zanatta agrees with the signee’s assessment of his skills saying that “Daimon loves to defend, win the one on one battles, and has a good ability to play the correct exit pass which is crucial as a defender,” these on field skills will bode well at the CIS level for the Abbotsford recruit.

Most importantly, Gill brings a strong work ethic that is always the most coachable asset of any young player. “Whether it is in training or in a game, I will always give my 10 per cent to anything that I do.”

Gill plans to enter a Bachelor of Science program, and is still balancing a decision between majoring in Biology or Psychology, with ambitions to eventually go into medicine to become an orthopedic surgeon, or sports psychology. “Both of these career paths are extremely fascinating to me as they would both

Kelowna, which has lost just once in the last 13 games, defeated Salmon Arm 5-4 in overtime in Sunday’s final game.

Curtis Magas, with an assist to Linden McKinney, scored on a breakaway during the 4-on-4 sudden

death.

Other scorers in the final were Tate Stephens, Brenden Witala, Garrett Hodgkinson and Landon Gran with assists by Scott Freeman, Tye Boray, Matt Welsh, Keaton Brownlee, Gran, Witala and Koby Turik.

“The kids are playing outstanding hockey at this stage of the year where they have gone 111-1 in their last 13 games which includes two tournament victories,” said Rockets coach Kevin

Brownlee. “They are playing a very disciplined game, using their speed and skill to stifle their opponents. They are definitely playing and executing ahead of the plan that the coaches set out for them from the beginning of the season.”

Kelowna opened with a 7-1 win over Summerland, tied Merritt 2-2 despite getting 67 shots, and downed Castelgar 5-2.

The Rockets are: Nic Banmen, Keaton

Brownlee, Taylor Cooper, Garrett Hodgkinson, Curtis Magas, Scott Freeman, Koby Turik, Matt Welsh, Brendan Witala, Tate Stephens, Linden McKinney, Tye Boray, Landon Gran, Michael McCready, Carter Steiwandt, Noah Fancy, Owen Partrick and Nathan Sparks.

Alongside Brownlee on the bench, the coaches are Lloyd McKinney, Ken McCready, Dean Stephens and (trainer/coach) Ed Cooper.

Another title for tier 3 midgets

The Kelowna midget tier 3 Rockets celebrate their tournament win last weekend in Osoyoos.

AquaJets swim in meets around the world It was a busy week for the Kelowna AquaJets who had 20 swimmers competing at meets as far away as Australia and Beaverton, Ore. Last week, Emily Epp, Axana Merckx and Clarisse Obedkoff represented KAJ and the City of Kelowna in the International Childrens Games in Lake Macquarie, Australia.

Four other Jets—Josh Zakala, Tia Itterman, Sky Kinnear and Katie Dunlop—competed in the Thunderbolt International.

The three meets were highlighted by a dozen club records and some new meet qualifiers. In Beaverton, Zakala, 16, was able to lower 10 of his own records in 5 races.

Eclipsing his marks in the 15-17 and Mens Open categories, he swam in the 400 Free (3:55.12), 1500 Free (15:37.14), 200 Back (2:02.47), 200 IM (2:04.74) and the 400 IM (4:23.03). At the same meet, Dunlop, 16, knocked a second off her club record in the 100 IM for both Womens 1517 and Open categories, swimming in a time of 1:07.03. Qualifying for new meets on the weekend, Taylor Desrosier, 12, Megan Elkin, 13, Santiago Sanchez, 15, made their second AA standard in the 100 and 200 Free, earning them a spot at AA Provincials in Chilliwack in February.

Also making new standards over the three competitions were Paige Foster, 13, in the 100 Breast (AA), JC Drygasuk, 13, in the 200 Back (AGC), Tia Itterman, 17,

Angels who live in our community To keep my name off the ‘naughty’ list, perhaps I should hang out with a bunch of the people listed below, those selected by others as this year’s angels. Certainly that wouldn’t hurt my Santa status.

There are many musicians in the Kelowna area who qualify as angels for their kind actions on a regular basis.

Two of them are busy with music projects that may just help you get into the Christmas spirit or provide an opportunity to find a unique Christmas gift.

Randall Robinson and Pat Brown—talented members of the popular band Ten2Nine—have written a spell-binding rock musical called the Raft of the Medusa, which will premier in the summer. You can purchase either tickets or a “survival package� for the show by going to raftofthemedussamusical. com.

The survival package includes a hand-crafted basket, a bottle of wine and glasses, chocolates, other edible goodies and, of course, tickets. In other words, everything you would need if stranded on a raft in the ocean, said Robinson with a smile.

The second event is this weekend involving Brad Krauza and his superb band Linus, which is holding a Christmas CD release fundraiser Friday and Saturday at Fleetwood’s (formerly known as 97th Street Pub). Brad and crew are performing both nights along with guest star Darby Mills and will be featuring songs from the Miracle on 97th Street CD just recently recorded and involving several local bands.

Meanwhile, I received a number of emails and calls regarding nominations for

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE the annual Charlie’s Christmas Angels List.

Here are a bunch of them, with more, including my list, coming up after Christmas.

Audrey Cranston nominates Lorraine Richmond, because of the role she plays in helping other people. “She has held three events in the past year including a “cash mob� last year, a fundraiser for a woman who needed back surgery and just recently for Kate,� writes Cranston. “There are probably more events she’s run because that is how caring she is.�

Randy Zahara names Shelley Vida. “Though Shelly has had a bit of bad luck recently, she still remains incredibly positive about the performing arts in Kelowna and is dedicated to continue the great work she has done in promoting live entertainment and supporting musical artists from Kelowna and around the country.�

Zahara has another special angel. “I met Michelle Bonneau when she was the executive director of the Kelowna Family Centre. She has dedicated the last eight years of her life to starting a non-profit called the Intercultural Women’s Education Network. She sold her condo to fund the organization and moved to Nepal to begin buying young girls from ages eight to 12 out of indentured servitude, (basically slavery). She’s put them into schools and made sure they are taken care of so they might become leaders in their community some day.

IWEN has helped more

than 200 girls in the last few years and Michelle has built a school as well. She’s an amazingly selfless person who I am honoured to call my friend.�

For more go to http:// iwencanada.com/. Freyja Jensen nominates Michael Lavigne of Open for Change in Kelowna, “because he’s making a difference starting with our community and reaching beyond. Check him out on Facebook, Linked In and YouTube and join us on the ride!�

Brian Lyall nominates Tanya Bakala for angel status. “She goes above and beyond with her work with students at the Mission Dance Centre. Her mentoring of students goes beyond dance to help kids with their personal lives when they don’t talk to their parents about life issues.

Her drive to produce shows and help with fundraising events and performances at public schools and senior’s facilities promotes her art and her school yet enriches the community.

Her passion for the arts and her students is unlimited and changes lives because of the respect her students have for her.�

Superb guitarist and one of my top angels, Gary Smyth, sent me his nominee. “Noreen Branson is an actual angel as she left us this past year.

Noreen seemed to love everybody and was never shy about saying it or showing it to the point that the recipient was embarrassed yet suddenly having a better day. She never forgot a friend, and if you met her once, you never forgot her. She seemed to have much less to give than most of us,

yet she gave more than most of us.�

Michelle Rule writes, “I am surrounded by angels, but want to tell you about my Secret Santa.

Every day since Dec. 1, a package has mysteriously appeared at my door. All kinds of lovely gifts— books, treats, fruit and more. I have no idea who is behind this, it could be an individual or a group.

Of course, no one is saying. A big thank-you to my Secret Santa, an anonymous angel who is lifting my spirits during a difficult time.�

Lois Beischer nominates Ailsa Beischer as a fruitsharing angel. “Ailsa is the co-ordinator of the Okanagan Fruit Tree Project and she gathers volunteers to pick fruit and veggies that would otherwise go to waste.

These are then donated to more than 30 charities in our community. “This past season, Ailsa coordinated picks that lead to over 37,000 pounds of produce being donated. Ailsa is also a UBCO student working on her master’s degree, researching the topic of food justice and security in the Kelowna. Her goal is to complete a community food assessment that will be invaluable to policy makers and service providers such as the Food Bank and CMHA, and to NGOs, like the Central Okanagan Food Policy council.  “This is a young lady who has definitely put effort into her life. Many of her scholarships and awards have based on community service. Quite a busy angel, and all this by the age of 24.�

news _____________________________________________________________________ MP’S REPORT

How to use the federal Canada Job Grant I would like to inform local employers that the new Canada Job Grant program is open for business in British Columbia.

The Canada Job Grant will provide up to $15,000 per person for training costs such as tuition and training materials (up to $10,000 from the federal government and $5,000 from employers) resulting in training that leads to guaranteed jobs for British Columbians.

For details on how to apply, employers should visit www. workbc.ca/canadabcjobgrant.

The grant is part of the $65 million in funding the federal government will provide to B.C. through the

Ron Cannan

Canada-British Columbia Job Fund Agreement and will compliment other skills training initiatives, including the Apprenticeship Incentive Grant and the Apprenticeship Completion Grant that together makes $4,000 available to students who go through apprenticeship

programs.

Over the next 10 years it is estimated that Canada will need 300,000 new workers in the construction sector, up to 150,000 new workers in the petroleum sector and 145,000 new workers in the mining sector.

In British Columbia alone, BuildForce Canada estimates that between 2013 and 2021, approximately 54,500 new workers will need to be recruited for the construction industry, while the Mining Industry Human Resources Council estimates that the B.C. mining industry will need to recruit over 10,000 workers by 2022.

Employment and Social

Development Minister Jason Kenney is calling on employers, unions, educators and governments to work together in order to make a compelling case to young Canadians for a future in the skilled trades.

I know local institutes like Okanagan College are fully on board and it was a pleasure to talk with OC president Jim Hamilton about the college’s efforts when he visited Ottawa this week.

As parents we all want our children to get the education and support they need to find meaningful and gainful employment.

As Kenney has noted, training in the skilled trades is proving to be as valuable as

going to university and getting an academic degree.

By encouraging young people to look to the skilled trades through programs like the Canada Job Grant, we are not only ensuring young Canadians find rewarding employment, we are ensuring that Canada‘s productivity, competitiveness and continued economic growth remains on track. ••• I was pleased to learn that Kelowna has been chosen as one of the locations for

Remember to recycle this Christmas What do snowshoeing, cooking classes and tickets to the theatre all have in common? They’re all great gift ideas that make memories, not garbage.

Every January local recycling and garbage carts are filled to the brim with waste packaging and wrapping paper from the holiday season.

This year, the regional waste reduction office is encouraging residents to reduce waste while celebrating the festive

season. “The best way to reduce garbage this holiday season is to not create it in the first place,� said waste reduction facilitator Cynthia Coates. “So this year, think about buying higher quality, more durable gifts that last. Or, give experiences as gifts instead. Often when we think back to our favourite Christmases, our fondest memories are of time spent doing

something and sharing with family and friends. Why not give ‘gifts’ that create long-term memories for those we love.â€? Here are some memory-making ideas to get you started: • Choose classic toys that are made locally and can be passed on • Board games last and bring family and friends

together for a night of fun and laughter • Organize a family skate • Host a dinner for all your friends using locally grown food • Treat someone to a live performance • Sign someone up for a cooking or art class. Join them for a fun night out together.

UBCO prof plans chilly dip for charity Michael Shakespeare, associate vice-president of finance and operations at UBC Okanagan, says he will jump into Okanagan Lake Jan. 19 if the campus reaches its $57,000 United Way campaign goal.

Since Oct. 6, the UBCO campus has raised $34,000, approximately

DAYS of CARING Thank you to Crowe MacKay LLP staff and families... for participating in United Way Days of Caring. These caring volunteers spent 2 evenings preparing holiday hampers at the Kelowna Community Food Bank, helping to ensure that everyone can have nutritious meals this winter.

$20,000 shy of its $57,000 goal.

Shakespeare said he hopes the chilly dip will bring attention to the incredible work the United Way and its 39 funded partners accomplish throughout the Okanagan.

“UBC Okanagan, its faculty, staff and students, invest each year in the hopes of making a lasting difference in our community,” Shakespeare said.

The announcement continues Shakespeare’s long history with the United Way campaign.

In previous years, he has offered a much sought-after UBC parking pass for a draw amongst the campus’ United

Way faculty and staff contributors.

Shelley Gilmore, executive director of the United Way of Central and South Okanagan Similkameen, said she is thrilled to hear of Shakespeare’s announcement.

“It is innovative fundraising efforts like this that will make the difference in our local office reaching its goal of $1.5 million,” said Gilmore.

The United Way Central and South Okanagan campaign kicked off in September with the goal of raising $1.5 million.

news _______________________________________________ ROAD SAFETY

Most car crash injuries are invisible In the old days, before seatbelts, we were thrown forward against the steering wheel or dash board. Points of impact would become black and blue, and fractures occurred.

The broad strap of a seatbelt saves your body from colliding with the interior of the vehicle, but of course it does nothing to stop the forces exerted on your body. You are still thrown forward. The only difference is that parts of you are stopped by the seatbelt that locks on impact.

Your head, weighing in at about 10-11 pounds (the weight of a small-medium sized 10 pin bowling ball), is completely unrestrained.

What stops the bowling ball from hitting the dash board? Your neck.

Your neck is not designed to act like the chain that yanks your dog back when it takes off after a squirrel in the campground.

The same goes for other unrestrained parts of your body. Consider everything below your lap belt. Some of us have more down there than others. None of that is restrained, except by the connective tissues of

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT the body between the belted in portions and the unrestrained portions.

The broad band of the seatbelt often leaves very little bruising, if any. The stretched, strained and torn connective tissues of our body don’t show up as damaged when x-rays and other medical scans are done.

Pain doesn’t even come into play often for hours if not a day or two. I know, it’s hard to understand, but consider the pain-free time between a workout and the next morning when you wake up stiff and sore from having pushed those muscles beyond their comfort zone.

Articulate adults will put two and two together and realize that the pain they have the morning after a car crash means they were injured, and will seek the medical attention and direction they need in order to accelerate and maximize their healing.

We will anxiously try to

get back to our normal routine and activities and won’t stop pushing for the care necessary to make that happen.

What about those who are less articulate? What about the infant, properly restrained in a rear-facing car seat? Keep in mind that “properly restrained” doesn’t include any restraint of the bowling ball. What about the one, two, three, four year old?

What about the seven or eight year old who seems to feel a bit sore for a while, but stops complaining. Does the end of complaining mean that the child has healed, or that the child has gotten used to their “new normal”. What happens when that child gets to the point in school when hours of studying are required. What happens when that child starts a trade and has difficulty with overhead work?

I find children’s ICBC claims to be the most difficult to prosecute.

We, the parents, are desperate to believe that our child has suffered only a temporary, minor injury,

which sometimes leads us to ignore or fail to look for the subtle indications of a longer term problem.

We are also careful not to “fill our children’s heads” with notions of injury.

By the time the child starts experiencing real problems later in their schooling, or as they enter the job market, it is way, way, way too late to prove any connection with the crash that occurred years before.

There are always falls from horses or bicycles, trampoline incidents, etc., that ICBC can point to as “intervening events” that could have caused the problems.

As well as seeing a doctor, I recommend having your child objectively assessed by a pediatric physiotherapist and a chiropractor as soon as possible after a collision, the assessment done without letting the child know what it’s about and why it is being done. Tissue damage that doesn’t show up on an x-ray can often be “felt” by these “soft tissue damage specialists”.

Important additional steps should be taken to ensure as quick and full a recovery as

possible, as well as to ensure that your child is fairly compensated for problems that might surface in the child’s future. Most personal injury lawyers will provide important free initial advice immediately after a crash, without any obligation.

Minjune’s First Trip to Canada Minjune is a 12 year old boy from South Korea who

came on August 13, 2014 and is leaving in January 2016. He came to improve his English, and he finds learning English hard. It is his first time in Canada.

He came from Seongnam, South Korea. It was a nine hour flight.

He came to Canada with his Mom and brother but his Mom is going to go back to South Korea.

He has a brother in Grade 8. His grandparents and

Budding artists at work at Watson

relatives will visit him. The thing he misses the most is all his friends back in Korea.

He lives with his brother and relatives that took them in.

When Minjune can’t understand others, he communicates with everyone by laughing and smiling. He only knows a little English.

He was scared coming to Canada because he didn’t know what everyone else was saying. People are re-

ally nice to him in Kelowna.

He loves playing soccer with them. While Minjune feels comfortable in Canada, his brother is really shy and finding it difficult.

Minjune is one of the many students at our school that came from a different country, so that means our school is multicultural. ~Written by Steven X. and Maxim M. Steven and his family came to Canada in 2003.

His family has been here for 11 years. His parents came from Shanghai, China. They first settled in Montreal before coming to Kelowna.

Maxim’s family immigrated to Kelowna from Ukraine in 2000. His relatives also came from Belarus, Estonia, Russia and Finland. In 2001, one of his aunts moved to Vancouver, Canada and his other aunt and Grandpa moved there in 2013.

First Nations Program at Watson Road We were lucky to be able to experience an amazing presentation by two people of the Metis First Nations culture. Dennis and Maria talked about their culture. Dennis played us a beautiful native song on the flute called, “Coyote in the Rain.” Maria played a traditional drum and sang an aboriginal “Love Song.” Finally they showed us how to make a traditional Metis friendship bracelet which was very fun! That’s our amazing experience with Dennis and Maria. ~ By Noah Kaiser, Nicholas Good and Kiefer Richardson

WE Day and WE Scare Hunger In October, 10 students from our school were selected to attend WE Day in Vancouver. WE Day is a day with performers, entertainers and speakers that inspired us to change the world. You can’t buy a ticket to WE Day! You earn it by contributing to the community and helping your school be a better place. WE Day is an event that changed our lives. After we came back from this experience, we decided to do an event at our school called WE Scare Hunger. This involved collecting food for our local food bank. All of the grade 6 classes helped to collect and count the food. We collected over 1800 food items that we donated to our local community. We now realize that whether it is in our own community, or nationwide... everyone can make a difference. EVERYONE COUNTS! ~ Written by Tian Whitehead, Alexa Monteleone and Emma Cannon, Gr. 6

Way to go teams!

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL - The Watson Road girls volleyball team is off to a great start. We have twenty eager and talented players ready to play hard and have fun!

We are playing against two other travelling teams, Glenmore Elementary and North Glenmore Elementary. Our skills are improving each week. We are consistently serving the ball over the net, we are better at receiving the ball and keeping rallies going.

It has been a great experience to go to other schools to practice our skills. Our team shows great team work, enthusiasm and sportsmanship. ~ By: Shay Parnell and Zadie McLeod

Students at Watson Road Elementary are kind, safe, responsible and respectful learners!

BOYS VOLLEYBALL - The Grade 6 boys volleyball team has an excellent season this year; Way to go team! Mr. Guignard would like to thank the players for their exemplary attendance at all the practices and for being so encouraging and sportsmanlike with each other. Also, thank you to all the parents that supported their children by driving to and from the games throughout the season.

We couldn’t have done it without you – Looking forward towards our next extra-curricular sport, BASKETBALL! ~ By Mr. Guignard, Coach

Remembrance Day at Watson Road Elementary On November 10th, 2014 Watson Road Elementary had their Remembrance Day assembly. The Colour Guard marked the beginning of the assembly followed by the singing of ‘O Canada’. Mrs. Dot Furman was the guest speaker and provided a message about veterans and their families. She said we could call her Grandma Dot and that four days ago she turned 90 years old. Her speech was very emotional and it really made all of the students think about why we get to live in a place where we are free. When Grandma Dot was done speaking to us Ms. Fiorentino showed a slideshow about the hardships soldiers did and continue to endure.

Following that the grade fives at the school did a recitation of the poem ‘In

Flander’s Fields’ by John McRae, led by Mrs. McAndrew. Mrs. Keys’ grade six advanced bar group with the grade two/three choir singing concluded the assembly. Mr. Guignard thanked our guest speaker, parents, friends, family, staff and students and the Colour Guard led the procession from the gym. The assembly was a serious occasion as it reminded us all how lucky we are to live in Canada and that there are many men and women who make this possible. ~ by Maggie Fay Grade 5

Gifts to take the stress out of winter driving scratch-proof snow and ice removal tool that’s easier on your car’s paintwork to a compact and light-weight emergency traction aid that could be a life-saver.

The Garant EVA Snowbrush has a bristle-free brush with a foam head that’s less abrasive on vehicle paintwork. It addresses the negative feedback from customers about conventional snowbrushes and it’s sold in two sizes. The 28-inch brush retails for $15.99 and the 36-inch brush retails for $19.99.

Yes, winter weather has arrived early this year, but there are some clever new products available designed to make life with an auto less stressful and safer in sub-zero temperatures.

Ranging in price from $9.99 to $159.99 these products could also be a great Christmas gift for just about anyone who drives.

Working with its suppliers, Canadian Tire has helped develop some new auto products that address winter driving problems. They’re as basic as

More Murano sizzle for your money ‘‘

I believe that this new product has an even larger possible market than just baby boomers.

’’

Zack Spencer

more upscale than a compact SUV, for not much more money. The dash and surrounding materials all looks first rate. The trim that looks like wood isn’t, rather a plastic that mimics wood but some might think it feels cheap but it certainly looks good. The base $29,998 (FWD) S-Trim isn’t base at all thanks to heated front seats, Bluetooth, navigation, backup camera and satellite radio. The next model up is the $32,998 (FWD) SV and it adds a power driver’s seat, huge moon roof, a power lift gate and heated steering wheel. There is also the $38,398 (AWD) SL that includes leather seats, Bose stereo and more or the top $43,498 (AWD) platinum

2015. The tuning of the Murano is very relaxed, almost luxury-like. The steering is very easy to operate; some might find it too light. The pace at which the CVT works is very subdued, meaning the car wants to be in the low RPM range to help extract the best economy but when pushed it can take a while to wake the car up. To get around this there are now set shift points in the CVT that can be accessed through the transmission’s manual mode. It would be better to have a sport setting for the CVT but it isn’t offered.

Verdict Overall the packaging of the 2015 Murano is very good. The interior has plenty of room for the front and rear passengers and the seats are comfortable.

The cargo area is very big and the square shape of the hatch makes loading easier. This product should be attractive to buyers of compact SUVs that want more room and V6 power for just slightly more. Shoppers of premium brands who want a refined ride and interior for less money should consider the higher trim levels. This new Murano will certainly get attention for its exterior

When the original Nissan Murano was introduced in 2002, it was one of a number of car-based crossover vehicles that helped build the mid-size family SUV category.

What that original model had was a unique take on design that made it stand out from the crowd. Here we are in 2015 and Nissan wants to recapture some of that original sizzle with this third generation Murano.

With a bold, eye-popping design that looks like nothing on the road, this latest model has a sharper price, an upscale interior and refined ride that Nissan believes will appeal to the baby boomers this vehicle is targeted at. After spending a very full day driving around California’s Napa valley, I believe that this new product has an even larger possible market than just baby boomers.

Looks Since the 2015 Nissan Murano is just about to hit dealership floors, the Napa region was the first in North America to get to see it. By the reaction from other drivers on the road, this mid-sized people mover gets a lot of attention.

The bold front design now incorporates the headlamp treatment that will start to migrate across its other vehicles, like the new Maxima coming soon.

The wedge shaped look is referred to as a boomerang and it is mimicked in the rear lights as well. Both the front and rear have LED accents and the main headlamps are LED on the top trim levels. The other design highlight is the roof, that looks like it is floating thanks to a blacked out rear windows and roof pillars.

This design also features curvaceous rear hips, making the design modern and stylish. Now sold as front wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD), and priced from $29,998, the Murano is an option for many potential buyers.

It is too bad that only the top Platinum model comes with 20-inch wheels, all the other trim levels are fitted with 18-inch wheels.

Inside The interior is a reason that many people will consider this product, not just affluent baby boomers. The design is simple but looks upmarket; the Murano might be an alternative to buying a Lexus RX350, for less money, or a young family wanting something

Christmas gifts for the car lover in your life ‘Tis the season of buying gifts for loved ones, but what do you get the car lover in your life who really wants a supercar?

Well, you get a super gift but “super” doesn’t have to mean spending a fortune.

Here are some festive ideas under $100 that will surely make Christmas even merrier.

Dash Cam (Upwards of $50) Dashboard cameras are becoming more commonplace.

What are they? They’re cameras that record what’s going on around you while you’re driving. You can tuck

them behind the rearview mirror, mount them straight onto the dash or mount them in any direction you like.

Different makes and models use different sizes of screens but most are compact enough (in and around 3-inches) that it won’t interfere with forward visibility.

Furthermore, most use wide-angle lenses so you have quite a panoramic view. They tend to come in handy if you get into a fender bender and it wasn’t your fault. Hitting the track?

– It can be used to film your accomplishments. Mem-

ory is stored on SD cards.

Depending on how large your SD card is, you can film for hours or program your device to loop every so often. Available online or at your local tech store.

OBD2 Bluetooth Connector/ Apps (Under $40 for both) So, you want to know what’s going on with your car via your smartphone. I have the gadgets for you.

You’ll need an OBD2 Bluetooth Connector (you can get them as cheap as $10 online) and then an app.

Try TorquePro (for Android $4.95) or DashCommand

for Apple ($9.99 on the iTunes app store).

Simply connect the OBD2 connector into your car’s OBD2 port (usually found underneath the dash) and pair the device with your smartphone.

Within the app, you can set certain parameters; i.e. what you want to be displayed. Torque, rpms, power, boost, speed, engine temperatures, you name it.

The connector then reads the car’s data and sends it, in real time, to your phone.

A cool feature found on TorquePro is the ability to use it as a Head’s Up

Universal Dashboard and Windshield Mount ($50) Handsfree calling has never been easier. Especially with the Logitech [+] drive universal mount.

The actual mount will suction to any window in your car or your dash, and your phone/GPS/device is then held in place by a strong magnet. You simply adhere a small thin metal plate onto your tech toy of choice for the magnet to grab.

Your device then stays firmly in place even on rougher or the sinuous roads.

The great part about it is that when you have attached your phone, you don’t have to fumble with clasps, clamps or rubber bands to make sure it’s secure. You just press it against the mount, the magnetic force does the rest. It just stays in place and doesn’t move. Brilliant.

And when you’re done driving, you just pull it off and take it with you.

Perhaps stuff someone’s stocking with Armor All Wheel Protectant.

Brake dust can make your beautiful aluminum alloy wheels look far less attractive.

The twist? Create a playlist for the ride.

Get the kids involved and get each of them to pick a song or two. Then put the playlist on shuffle to mix things up!

If you’re going for a drive with that special someone, perhaps put songs that remind you of the fun times you’ve had. Or even what you deem as “your” song.

And maybe a Christmas carol or two!

Leading the cast will be Kelowna actors Jeff Samin, as the shoemaker, and Christina Neale, as his wife.

As with the original children’s story, playwright Mike Kenny’s take on the classic finds the shoemaker and his wife cold and hungry with bleak prospects since they are down to their last piece of leather.

Then, in the dark of the night, help creeps into their house as two friendly elves get to work and surprise the couple with finished shoes in the morning. From there, the

Then the young JJanvier was uprooted ffrom his home and sent tto the Blue Quills Indian Residential School near St. Paul, Alta.

Although Janvier sspeaks of having a ccreative instinct from aas far back as he can remember, it was at the residential school that he was given the tools to create his first paintings.

Unlike many Aboriginal artists of his time, Janvier received formal art training from the Alberta College of Art in Calgary and graduated with honours in 1960.

Immediately after graduation, Janvier took up an opportunity to instruct art at the University of Alberta.

As a First Nations person emerging from a history of oppression and many struggles for cultural empowerment, Janvier paints both the challenges and celebrations that he has encountered in his lifetime.

He proudly credits the beadwork and birch bark basketry of his mother and other relatives as influencing his art.

As a member of the commonly referred to “Indian Group of Seven,” Janvier is one of the significant pioneering Aboriginal artists in Canada, and as such has influenced many generations of Aboriginal artists.

By virtue of his art, Janvier was selected

Fully Completely, the third full-length album by The Tragically Hip, was originally released on Oct. 6, 1992.

It reached #1 in Canada and went on to sell more than a million copies while spawning hit singles “Locked in the Trunk of

a Car,” “Courage,” “At the Hundredth Meridian,” “Fifty Mission Cap,” “Looking For A Place To Happen,” “Wheat Kings” and “Fully Completely.”

A five-piece group of friends that make up Tragically Hip includes Rob Baker (guitar), Gord Downie (vocals, guitar), Johnny Fay (drums), Paul Langlois (guitar) and Gord Sinclair (bass), who all grew up in Kingston.

EVENT Canadian Culinary Championships Grand Finale Feb. 7, 2015 Kelowna Joining Barney Bentall as a featured performer for the Canadian Culinary Championships Grand Finale event will be Spirit of the West front men John Mann and Geoffrey Kelly along with guitarist Matthew Harder.

The musicians have performed in some of the cities across Canada at the regional Gold Medal Plates events and are not only big supporters of the event, but are passionate about the cause it supports.

“We are so proud to bring together this star-studded cast of performers, athletes, and chefs to celebrate the spirit of achievement,” said Stephen Leckie, CEO and co-founder of Gold Medal Plates and the Canadian Culinary Championships.

“All three competitions over two days in February to place Canada’s top chefs on the podium, are wildly exciting. To top it all off, our Kelowna audience gets to meet the competing chefs, each with a fire in their belly, and be entertained by some of our country’s best musical talents.

It’s like a grand bazaar of Canadian gilded excellence.

“And it is so much fun that it’s easy to forget that the whole endeavor has raised $8.2 million and counting for Canadian Olympic Foundation, in support of Canadian Olympic athletes.”

Bentall is equally delighted about the teaming-up with his musical partners.

“I am excited to once again be a part of the Canadian Culinary Championships in Kelowna and particularly thrilled to be performing with members of Spirit of the West. Geoffrey, John and I go back over 30 years! John has gone public regarding his struggle with early onset Alzheimer’s. I have been performing with John lately and his courage and grace have been very touching and inspiring.

“So is the love and support of those around him. I also never get tired of the time I spend with the Olympians. Their dedication to what they do never ceases to amaze me.”

news _____________________________________________________________________ MILITARY MUSEUM EXHIBITION

First World War Christmas truce remembered It was a truce, stranger than fiction and it showed how warring nations celebrated Christmas in 1914—together.

This holiday season marks the centennial of one of the most unusual and moving moments

in the history of the First World War—the Christmas Truce of 1914.

One hundred years ago this month, there was a series of widespread, unofficial ceasefires, where soldiers exchanged gifts, sang carols, and

ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems

played football together, amongst other shows of gentlemanly behaviour.

This is in striking contrast to the usual images of war; the aggression, the gloom, the misery.

But, it is precisely

because of that misery that soldiers had a moment of realization, that “us and them” had a different meaning; “us” meant all soldiers, and all soldiers had families that they missed, and rituals in common, such as

OPEN HOUSE WEEK January 11 - 17th Enjoy a FREE week on us!

Christmas.

“Theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die,” the saying goes.

But the truth is, the soldiers in the First World War did ask why, and celebrated, even though the answer would continue to elude them.

It’s a piece of history that resonates, given the unrest in today’s world, the continuing reality of prolonged warring between nations, and a similar yearning for release, for home, for the

comfort of a ritual.

It’s the type of story Keith Boehmer is expert in, being the military historian at Kelowna Museums.

In particular, he calls the truce a “flash of chivalric civility” and approaches his subject like a good mystery, asking why it unfolded as it did.

Boehmer regularly gives talks on such fascinating moments.

The Kelowna Museums Society’s The

Bugle Sounds exhibit continues its residency at the Okanagan Military Museum.

The Okanagan Military Museum is a facility of the Kelowna Museums Society, a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to a greater awareness of the agricultural, wineproducing, military, and cultural heritages of the Okanagan.

With Christmas Day and New Year’s Day falling on a Thursday this year, pick-up schedule for garbage and recycling here will jump one day ahead for both of those weeks, says the regional district.

For example, if your regular collection day is Thursday, your garbage will be picked up on Friday instead. If your

regular collection is Friday, your pickup will take place on Saturday for the weeks of Christmas and New Year’s only.

Remember to place your garbage and recycling carts at the curb by 7 a.m. and ensure the lids are completely closed.

Also, remember to keep the recycling spirit going this holiday season by saving all shiny and

foil wrapping paper and cards, ribbons and bows for re-use. Be sure to put all other wrapping paper (non foil), flattened boxes and cartons in your recycling cart with the blue lid for curbside pick-up, or take to your nearest recycling depot.

Country singer Willie Nelson admires a larger than life statue of himself during the unveiling in Austin, Texas. Austin is fast becoming the place to be in the Lone Star State.

Austin, Texas, rises to the occasion Chris Riemenschneider contributor

Lounging poolside, sipping $18 minimargaritas under sprawling live oaks, our eyes and wallets opened wide to a life of luxury we didn’t really know existed in the city we once knew so well.

Austin’s drastically changing skyline was visible from our plush loungers at the small but otherworldly St. Cecilia Hotel. To fully see downtown, though, we had to look over the giant neon sign at the end of the hotel pool, which simply reads “SOUL.” It reminded me of Austin’s late, great music hero and hippie spirit Doug Sahm, who famously sang, “You just can’t live in Texas if

you don’t have a lot of soul.”

In a lot of ways, Austin has sold its soul over the past decade and a half.

But at least for one twonight, budget-ignoring, drop-the-kids-at-theinlaws stayover, we two former Austinites were totally fine with that.

When my wife and I left Austin for Minnesota 12 years ago, the oncesleepy, slacker-minded Texas capital was still a city where you could spend a night out enjoying soul-enriching Tex-Mex food and worldclass musicians for the total cost of just one of those petite St. Cecilia margaritas. In hindsight, there was no better place to spend your impoverished 20s living it up than Austin in the

‘90s.

After an unprecedented 15year boom, though, the city is bumping up its prices and bursting at the seams. A looming new condo tower pops up just about every year downtown. One oft-quoted population statistic has 150 new residents moving there every day. Traffic jams and infrastructure problems have spiked exponentially.

On the upside, Austin also has welcomed a new tier of restaurants and hotels that can compete with the trendiest hot spots in New York and Los Angeles.

Five of the city’s chefs earned the prestigious James Beard Award nominations in 2013.

On the hotel front, both

LAURA M. WALLACE, AT CHARTWELL SINCE 2013.

a new W and Hilton high-rise have opened downtown in recent years. The largest is yet to come: A $300 million JW Marriott complex is under construction with 34 stories and 1,012 rooms.

Even the parties are getting bigger and more high-end. The city’s new $400 million Formula One racetrack—the kind of auto racing that wealthy Europeans favour—now far outpaces the famous South by Southwest (SXSW) Music Conference in tourism revenue ($500 million this past year).

The SXSW music fest isn’t even the biggest event for SXSW Inc. anymore: Its tech-centric SXSW Interactive Conference now draws more paying registrants.

For the first time since

CALL US ABOUT OUR SPECIAL EVENTS

we moved away, my native Texan wife and I experienced Austin the way today’s business travelers and wealthy new residents get to enjoy it.

We found “a deal” at the St. Cecilia in early April, giving us access to what seemed like a secret society of Austin’s uppercrust hangers-on for a mere $295 per night.

We took that as a cue to hit some of the city’s newer, costlier restaurants and trendy areas instead of sticking with the old, mostly inexpensive standbys we usually favour. (We still love you, Curra’s and El Azteca.)

The St. Cecilia itself is as much an attraction as it is a hotel. Laid out around a 125-year-old white Victorian house and scenic estate in South

Austin, the property is just a block off one of the city’s liveliest strips, South Congress Avenue— ”SoCo” if you’re a real estate agent or new Austin transplant trying too hard.

Actually a cluster of six bungalows, five suites and three studios, the St. Cecilia boasts a turntable in each of the spacious rooms and large vinyl library in the lobby, plus vintage but comfortable furniture and artful design. The hotel was converted in 2008

by Liz Lambert, an Austin visionary.

Lambert’s nearby 40room, desert-styled San Jose Hotel—a cheaper option than the St. Cecilia—helped reshape South Congress from a once-derelict strip to

a shopping and dining destination visited by every hipster tourist nowadays. And for good reason.

Both properties are walking distance from the Continental Club, a roots-rock and vintagecountry haven that’s one of the few relevant music venues of yesteryear not closed or bulldozed by “development.”

Farther down the avenue lies the popular taco palace Guero’s, the more upscale Tex-Mex eatery South Congress Cafe and a trove of clothing, art and vintage shops, including the coolly eclectic antique mini-mall Uncommon Objects.

New, trendy districts popping up in Austin AUSTIN FROM B21 South Congress was only the first of the new

era of trendy districts quickly evolving in Austin.

Just a few blocks west lies South First Street, which

boasts several chic new restaurants, including two new French-flavoured joints. (Hey, France was

also one of the six flags of Texas.)

The elegant yet cozy Lenoir boasts a goodvalue prix fixe menu and a “wine garden” instead of a beer garden.

On a previous trip, we hit Elizabeth Street Cafe, a French-Vietnamese -inspired eatery that somehow still felt uniquely Austin.

The trendiest of the new shopping and nightlife districts, though, is also the unlikeliest: East Austin, just under Interstate 35 from downtown. Only 20 years ago, crack houses were as numerous in that part of the city as bohemian-chic boutique stores are today.

East Austin is where folks start lining up at 9 a.m. and wait two-plus hours to get some of the limited quantities of brisket and ribs at Franklin Barbecue (the nearby La Barbecue is an excellent backup for those turned away). It’s also the part of town that hosts arguably the hottest new high-end eatery—which proved highly disappointing to us.

I’ve never laughed so hard at the sight of a to-go box than when I saw one at Qui, an uber-trendy Asian-

fusion restaurant run by “Top Chef” TV contest winner and Beard Award recipient Paul Qui. His open-air, bamboo-lined space is gorgeous, but the serving sizes were so small you could fit most menu items inside a matchbox, and the high-concept food generally had a texture best described as snotty.

We had a much better experience on a previous trip eating at another edgy, Beard Awardwinning chef’s modern Asian place, Uchiko.

After Qui, we crossed back to the downtown side of I-35 to stroll yet another hopping strip that surfaced in the past four years, Rainey Street.

Set entirely in historic houses near the Austin Convention Center, Rainey Street’s lineup of bars and restaurants now competes with the better-known but locally ho-hummed Sixth Street entertainment district for collegiate nightlife dollars.

Even us less-rowdy old folks found the giant patio at the Banger’s Sausage House & Beer Garden hard to argue with on a not-too-warm Austin night.

to—its overstuffed roads, Austin is still a relatively compact city. Its walkability is still one of its best assets, the reason the SXSW fests work so well.

The next day, we walked from South Congress up to the West Second Street district, another shopping and dining area centered around the W Hotel and the best instance of Old Austin getting a posh upgrade: the $40 million Moody Theater, where the famed PBS music show “Austin City Limits” moved in 2011 after spending 36 seasons in a cramped old studio on the University of Texas campus.

Used for non-televised concerts, too, the Moody instantly became one of the best midsize concert venues in the country.

It’s usually packed with concerts or tapings during the two early-October weekends of the TV series’ hugely successful offshoot, the Austin City Limits Music Fest.

Another part of the city where things have picked up more for the upper set is the once-hippieflavoured Clarksville area on the western edge of downtown. That’s where we discovered our two

favourite new restaurants, the Josephine House and Clark’s Oyster Bar. Housed next to Jeffrey’s—one of Austin’s longest-serving finedining restaurants— the Josephine House is another gorgeously refurbished old house with fancy charcuterie and cheese trays and simple but divine farmhouse dishes. Clark’s defies Austin’s long lack of decent seafood with oysters from British Columbia and a lobster roll from heaven.

It was during our dinner at Clark’s when we had something of a defining moment.

Someone at the patio table next to us had their dog with them, an occurrence we wouldn’t have blinked at in the more hippie-ish days of Old Austin—but Fido sure seemed out of place in this posh new hot spot (with raw seafood and all).

Once we quietly moved inside for dinner, our newfound uppity ways screamed at us in shame.

So we went for $5 margaritas afterward and took in the dazed-andinfused organ rock trio Dupree at the Continental Club, fighting to at least save our own souls.
