Home gutted by fire Highway 97 HOV lane rules about to change YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE LIVING HERE.

Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

It’s a change some in Kelowna have been asking for for years.

Starting Monday, Jan. 19, the high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on Harvey Avenue will include hours of the day, and days of the week, when vehicles with just the driver inside can use them.

The B.C. Ministry of Transportation says the

KEVIN PARNELL/CAPITAL NEWS

Lake Country firefighter Bob Smith surveys the damage from a fire that destroyed a Carr’s Landing area home in Lake Country on Wednesday.

See story on A5.

HOV lane regulations will only be in effect from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday (excluding holidays). At all other times, the lanes will be available to all motorists.

The change, which mirrors hours of operation on stretches of the HOV lanes in the Lower Mainland, has been called for by many over the years, including former Kelowna mayor Sharon Shepherd who was in office when they were created here in 2009.

Other local politicians over the years have

called for the scrapping of the lanes, saying they are not needed, not effective and that many drivers simply ignore the restrictions on singleoccupancy vehicles. Currently, the HOV lanes are restricted to multiple occupant vehicles 24 hours a day.

According to the ministry, the change will mean the HOV lanes will still be in effect during peak periods when traffic volumes and transit

Close-up

Draisaitl: German hockey’s wunderkind Leon Draisaitl suited up for his first game Wednesday night as a Kelowna Rocket, scoring a goal and an assist in leading his new team to a 4-2 win over the Vancouver Giants (see game story on A20).

Warren Henderson In his native Germany, Leon Draisaitl is often referred to in the national media as a ‘wunderkind.’

Translation: A person who achieves great success when relatively young; a child prodigy.

Draisaitl may be just 19, but the Edmonton Oilers’ prospect and newest member of the Kelowna Rockets has already achieved a level of stardom in Germany rivaling that of a national soccer star.

In a country where global hockey heroes are few and far between, he’s even been dubbed ‘The German Gretzky.’

It may sound like a lot of pressure for a teenager to endure—but so far, so good for Draisaitl, who is driven by his desire to help boost the profile and popularity of hockey in his homeland.

“It’s not the biggest sport, but attention on hockey in Germany is getting bigger and better all the time,” said Draisaitl.

“My goal is to help make hockey bigger in Germany and getting kids to play hockey instead of soccer or other sports.

“It’s a great game and I want it to grow there.

I think so far it’s been good.”

Eight Germans have appeared in the NHL this season, including Draisaitl, Boston’s Dennis Seidenberg and Pittsburgh’s Christian Ehrhoff.

WARREN HENDERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

If Draisaitl gets his wish, those numbers will steadily increase in the years to come, while Germany’s national program continues to grow stronger.

Based on his bloodlines, it’s not entirely surprising that Draisaitl is carrying so much of Germany’s hockey pride on his shoulders.

His dad, Peter Draisaitl, is one of the country’s best known players ever, having starred for

Germany in the 1988, ‘92 and ‘98 Olympics.

So it would seem Leon’s skill and passion for the game were both preordained.

“My dad played for over 25 years, it’s something that’s always been in the family, even my grandpa played hockey, so I’ve always been around it,” said Draisaitl. “It’s something I always wanted to do from a young age and follow them.”

Peter Draisaitl

A native of Germany and a keen observer of sports there, Kelowna’s Dirk Stroda has been tracking Draisaitl’s rise to

prominence in his home country over the last couple of years.

Stroda, who grew up in Dusseldorf—40 kilometres from Draisaitl’s hometown of Cologne— is a mental coach and has worked with many worldclass athletes over the years.

Stroda said Germany’s largest online source of sports news, Sport1. de, reports on Draisaitl’s every move, most recently posting a story on his first

goal as a Kelowna Rocket on Wednesday night.

This summer, Draisaitl was drafted third overall in the NHL draft by the Edmonton Oilers, the highest a German-born player has ever been selected.

According to Stroda, it was a national event of major proportions.

“When he was drafted it was a very big announcement in Germany,” said Stroda, the High Performance

Mental Coach for Equine Canada. “It had never happened before that a player went anywhere near that high. We have a long history in Germany with Canadian hockey players going there to play, so to have a German going the other way to the NHL with that much attention was a really big deal.

“Every hockey fan in Germany knows him,” added Stroda. “Everybody is proud of this young man and is hoping he brings greater potential to Germany’s national teams.”

On Saturday, as Draisaitl prepares for his Kelowna Rockets to host the Medicine Hat Tigers, a major hockey event will be taking place back in his home country.

In Düsseldorf, more than 50,000 fans are expected for an open-air game between Dusseldorf EG and the Cologne Sharks, the second such hockey spectacle in the country’s history.

Draisaitl, for one, is thrilled with the concept.

“This will be great for hockey in Germany,” he said. “I think the outdoor event is a great event and it’s going to draw in a lot of people.” @capnewsports

Team Canada gold medalists to give Rockets a boost on the blueline Kelowna Rockets world junior gold medalists Madison Bowey and Josh Morrissey will be flying into Kelowna at 4:50 p.m. today as they get set to rejoin the WHL club.

The two players will be honoured on Saturday night at Prospera Place as they play their first games since winning gold with Team Canada.

Bowey is the Rockets captain and a

Washington Capitals draft pick in his fourth full season with the Rockets.

Morrissey was acquired from the Prince Albert Raiders by Kelowna in a blockbuster trade on

the eve of the Team Canada selection camp.

He will be playing his first game with his new teammates on Saturday, 7:05 p.m., at Prospera Place against the Medicine Hat Tigers.

news _____________________________________________________________________ ACCOUNTING FIRM MERGER

Companies with local connections form business marriage The merger of two of the largest accounting firms in B.C. will bring the former Kelowna branch rivals now under one roof.

It was announced Thursday that KNV Chartered Accountants LLP, the eighth largest

accounting firm in B.C., will merge with MNP LLP, the province’s fourth largest accounting firm and the sixth-largest national accounting and business consulting firm in Canada.

The merger takes effect Feb. 1, 2015, creating the

third-largest accounting and consulting firm in B.C. based on the staff of accountants.

KNV has provided accounting and business advisory services to clients for more than 40 years.

Its head office is located in South Surrey, with branch offices in Vancouver and Kelowna.

The firm consists of 14 partners and almost 200 additional professionals and support staff.

“As our clients’ needs continued to grow, we recognized we also needed to grow,” added

Dave Mitchell, a partner with KNV. “With more than 80 offices across the country and over 3,300 team members, they have a large national presence and access to many experts and specialists, as well as access to a global network of accounting firms and affiliations through Praxity—an international alliance of independent accounting firms. Joining MNP was the right time, right place

and right fit.”

Daryl Ritchie, CEO of MNP, said his company has established a large foot print in B.C. “We are excited to have the people of KNV join us, as a shared vision and culture,” Ritchie said.

The staff at KNV’s and MNP’s offices in Surrey, Vancouver and Kelowna will remain in their current locations until new offices are found in all three cities.

news _____________________________________ LAKE COUNTRY FIRE

Burning incense believed to be source of destructive blaze Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

A Lake Country family of four escaped serious injury, but has lost their home and all of its contents after fire destroyed their house in Carr’s Landing overnight Tuesday.

And it may have been a visiting dog that ended up accidentally starting the fire.

Firefighters responded to the blaze on Tuesday night in a remote area of Lake Country and battled it initially with only a crew of four, two of which entered the house to try and extinguish the blaze.

But fuelled by extremely flammable building materials from the 1990s era home, the blaze escaped control and gutted the structure.

The fire started in a downstairs bathroom where incense was burning.

It has been ruled accidental after an investigation by Lake Country firefighters who are continuing to investigate along with insurance adjustors this week.

Early indications are that there may have been food left in the

Snow removal efforts now in final phases City of Kelowna snow removal and ice control crews are continuing to clear sidewalks, transit stops and priority three roads.

Residents can help the snow clearing process by moving their vehicles off the streets. Without vehicles in the way, crews are much more efficient and able to get through each area more quickly and on to the next section of road.

“The snow that Kelowna received was really extraordinary. We haven’t seen this amount of snow in a single snow fall in more than 30 years,” said Stephen Bryans, City of Kelowna roadways operations supervisor.

“All our available resources and crews have been out continuously for the last four days. We’ll soon be entering the final phases of clearing with a focus on snow removal from side streets and sidewalks.”

For regular inquires and emergency plowing or sanding after regular business hours, call 250469-8600, option 1.

Residents can also report a problem online at kelowna.ca/ servicerequests.

downstairs bathroom where the incense was burning.

Officials say it appears the dog may have found the food and inadvertently knocked over the incense in the bathroom, sparking the fire in some scattered materials in the bathroom.

“At the end of the day no one was hurt, but we would have liked to have been able to save the home,” said Lake Country deputy fire chief Brent Penner.

Penner said the remoteness of the area meant there were just four firefighters able to respond in the early moments of the blaze and they weren’t able to stop it.

“We back this area up from our Winfield station, but when we get something like this we really need two (water) lines to battle it,” he said. “It’s a tall task. Our Carr’s Landing station is not a fully-staffed firehall.”

The blaze, on the long and winding Maki Road in Lake Country, took time for the second crew of firefighters to arrive on scene and supply the necessary back-up for more firefighters to join the fight.

Ultimately, 16 firefighters ended up on scene along with three fire engines while another engine rolled from Oyama to Winfield in case of any other emergency calls Tuesday night.

Lake Country has three firehalls: The main hall in Winfield and halls in Carr’s Landing and Oyama.

However, the Carr’s Landing hall has been critically under-staffed for the past few years. Had more paid on-call firefighters been available to respond from Carr’s Landing the result may have been different.

Early indications put the home and its contents valued at between $400,000 and $500,000.

After seeing the smoke the residents initially attempted to douse the blaze with a fire extinguisher, although the fire had quickly escaped the bathroom and two adults and two children in the house were forced outside.

The family was being housed in a hotel in Kelowna immediately after the fire with support from emergency social services. @KP_media1

Lake Country council expected OKANAGAN COLLEGE gas industry to approve AAP voting process Natural training program offered Kevin Parnell

kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Lake Country council will hold a special meeting today where it’s expected they will move forward with the Alternative Approval Process in its attempt to borrow money and help purchase the old CN Rail line between Kelowna and Coldstream.

Lake Country had to delay the process earlier this week while the district awaited approval from the provincial government on the wording of its borrowing bylaw.

But the bylaw has now been approved by the provincial government

J

and council is expected to pass it this afternoon and set out the dates and process for the Alternative Approval Process (AAP).

The AAP is expected to begin Jan. 14 and run until Feb. 23.

If more than 10 per cent of voters sign a petition in opposition to borrowing $2.6 million to purchase the rail corridor, the district as well as its partners in Kelowna and the North Okanagan Regional District, will have to find other ways to raise some $15 million combined that will go toward the $22 million asking price.

Lake Country resident Roger Bailey appeared before council on Tuesday

and spoke against the project.

“We’re moving ahead with this process before we have had any process open to the public to discuss what is going to happen if we do purchase it,” said Bailey.

“This presents a number of issues for people along that rightof-way.”

Lake Country will make electoral response forms available at municipal hall where residents can sign their name against the borrowing bylaw.

It will also be available on the district website while two open houses will be held in Lake Country for residents to hear about the AAP

A four-week natural gas sector training program with tuition and support available to eligible participants starts Feb. 2 at Okanagan College’s Vernon campus.

The Workers in Natural Gas (WiNG) program will provide the specific skills and certifications required for those preparing to seek work in the thriving liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry.

“The college has joined six other B.C. post-secondary institutions to offer the energy literacy and certifications needed to help fill the projected demand for skilled and semi-skilled workers in the LNG sector,” said Dennis Silvestrone, director of continuing studies and corporate development at the college.

“The province is currently estimating thousands of new positions will be created in direct and indirect jobs related to operating LNG plants,” said Silvestrone.

“The WiNG program is a great opportunity for Okanagan College to build labour market skills and assist students interested in finding employment in an industry poised to have a positive impact on the provincial economy.”

Kelowna and NORD both have enough money in reserves to fund their portion while Lake Country must raise taxes plus will receive a $2.5 loan from Kelowna as part of the deal.

The rest of the money is expected to come from higher levels of government.

When the HOV lanes through Kelowna were created five years ago, they were said to be primarily for the incoming Rapid Bus system.

But with little enforcement by the RCMP, over the years many drivers have just considered the lanes

regular traffic lanes.

The lanes run between Water Street/Pandosy Street and Highway 33 and help ensure transit buses move safely and quickly along the RapidBus route. They were also seen as a way to help reduce the number of vehicles on the road, reduce congestion and help cut greenhouse gas emissions.

The ministry says as part of

KELOWNA CITY BUDGET

Council to ponder cuts to proposed 3.47% tax hike

Alistair Waters

successive councils have tried to keep the increase to the municipal portion of the annual property tax bill for property owners to around two per cent.

In his report, Mattiussi said partnerships will continue to bolster the city’s ability accomplish more and stretch finite city resources.

Pointing to projects such as the new Okanagan Innovation Centre, the redevelopment of the recently acquired Centennial Park in Rutland and provincial funding to help finish building John Hindle Drive in North Glenmore, he said partnerships are helping the city grow.

But it is not just the creation of infrastructure that is benefiting from partnerships, he said.

The collaboration with UBC Okanagan and Interior Health to help understand the relationship between healthy residents and the built environment will also benefit the community. Other beneficial partnerships include a deal with the Kelowna Outrigger

budget report to council.

“This tax increase recognizes the need for intergenerational equity for a unique facility and the desire of our citizens to maintain and improve public safety.”

He said the objective as a local government is to give its residents the best quality of life that it can afford while shifting existing resources to high priority services.

The 3.47 per cent proposed tax hike, which may be lowered slightly as a result of council’s deliberations next week, would result in an additional $60 on the municipal portion of a residential property owner’s annual tax bill. (The city also collects taxes for other jurisdictions and agencies such as the school district, the regional district and the regional hospital district.)

If city council does not alter the proposed increase, it would be the biggest hike since the construction of the H2O Aquatic Centre in 2008, which was just over four per cent.

In recent years,

awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna’s new city council now knows the starting point for its 2015 budget deliberations.

When the nine members of council sit down to go through the proposed budget next Thursday, they will start with a city staff call for a 3.47 per cent property tax hike this year.

And according to city manager Ron Mattiussi, half of that increase is because of the new RCMP building on Clement Avenue and a federally mandated pay hike for local RCMP officers.

The building, required by the RCMP because the existing Doyle Avenue detachment is too small and too old, will cost the city $48 million.

“The recommendation presented is for a 1.7 per cent increase for city operations and capital and 1.77 per cent for the new police services building and police contract cost increases, for a total 3.47 per cent tax increase for 2015,” said Mattiussi in a pre-

Canoe Club to create the Kelowna Paddle Centre on the lake shoreline in south Pandosy, the improvement of High Noon Ball Park with the Kelowna Minor Fastball Association and renovations to Kings Stadium with the Major Men’s Fastball Association.

Those projects and

more will help the city with its recreational needs.

Six more RCMP officers will also be in place in 2015, according to the city manager. Three will be added as a result of the 2012 report that recommended 22 more officers be added over three years to meet the demand of the growing

city.

At the time, it was considered to have an overworked and understaffed local RCMP detachment that could not meet its crime reduction effort requirements.

This year, the city is expecting to pull in $1.6 million from new construction—up

from the $1.45 million collected in 2014.

That money will be used to offset part of the tax impact of the budget.

This year, the city is looking to collect $107.7 million in tax revenue from residential, commercial and industrial property owners.

Although many families enjoy caring for loved ones, the physical, emotional and financial consequences can be overwhelming without support. Caregivers may neglect their own wellbeing and that in turn can affect the quality of care they provide.

Fortunately, respite care is available to support those caring for loved ones.

“Respite is intended for genuine relief of caregiver burden. Interior Health provides a range of services and information on solutions to help lighten the burden,” says home health director Kathy Chouinor.

“Your life can change in an instant,” says Sylvia. “We were living in Prince George. He was still young and he had always been so active.

He was involved in junior hockey and belonged to the Lions, among other things. After the stroke he was just sitting around, which is the worst thing you can do.”

Recognizing they needed to make a change the couple moved to Kelowna, where they now benefit from milder weather, Rockets games during hockey season and, most importantly, the Adult Day Services program at the May Bennett Wellness Centre.

They had no family in Kelowna when they moved there and little other help. With the support available through the program, Sylvia is now able to maintain her active lifestyle and a busy volunteer schedule.

At the same time, the outings provide Bill with an important opportunity to socialize.

Kelowna Home Health Team Lead Peg Budd says Case Managers often use respite in the home through the home support program to care for clients so that their caregiver can go to their own appointments, do shopping, or have some time for an outing with friends.

“One summer we arranged respite so that a client’s spouse could go golfing weekly with his friend, which was key in relieving the caregiver burden he faced every day in caring for his wife with advanced dementia,” she says.

“While their caregiver is out, the client benefits

from interaction with the Community Health Worker, sometimes receiving a bath, an exercise program, or doing activities together.”

“Once we provided a two week respite for a client with dementia in a residential respite bed so that his wife could attend her daughter’s wedding, knowing that he was safe and cared for, when otherwise she would have been unable to attend,” she recalls.

In another case, Peg says they provided respite through the Day Program so that the client’s spouse could attend the Caregiver Support group, which helped her cope with the progression of her husband’s illness and supported her in continuing to care for him at home.

“Without the program, it would be terrible. Bill goes to the Stroke Recovery Club in Kelowna, but that is only a couple hours each week. The respite program is amazing. He really enjoys it. The staff are great and the food is good,” says Sylvia.

“He also gets bathed once a week. I can’t bathe him and he likes to be able to lie back in the tub and relax. They give him a cup of coffee to enjoy.

Little things like that are so important.”

“I would tell anyone who is thinking about it to try it,” says Sylvia about the respite support available through Adult Day Services.

Such groups have already been formed and meet regularly in West Kelowna, Kelowna and Vernon.

Now co-organizers Gabriele Banka and Rae Stonehouse want to capitalize on what they see as an unfilled networking need within the Kelowna market for business professionals.

On Jan. 13, from 7 to 8:30 a.m., the Okanagan Business

Professionals Network will hold its inaugural meeting at Molly’s Garden Café & Grill in the Towne Centre Mall, 17- 565 Bernard Ave. As with other groups, the OBPN will accept membership from only one representative per given professional field.

Both Banka, a Kelowna Capital News business finance columnist and accountant, and Stonehouse, a consultant, have had firsthand experience with other local groups and have built upon what they have found has worked and what hasn’t

from those groups. The OBPN can be expected to provide business training workshops and seminars to their fellow members and local business professionals/entrepreneurs.

As well, there is an identified need for more, smaller business networking events

Home electricity rate structure challenged To the editor: As an electrical engineer with over 20 years of experience, I feel compelled to speak up regarding the two-tier residential electricity rate that has been mandated by the BC Utilities Commission (BCUC).

LETTER OF THE WEEK It is not only that my own electricity bills are at an absurd level—my Fortis bill for the last two months was $1,700—but it is also the misinformation being spread by the BCUC and the unwillingness of the Liberal provincial government to address the issue that requires comment.

The BCUC labels the rate a “Residential Conservation Rate,” which is a transparent attempt to obscure the truth.

It is a fixed rate plus a variable rate penalty that is levied beyond

Such rate structures are inherently unfair because they are based on the plainly false assumption that all electricity customers are identical.

If you have more children than another household and hence use more electricity, you too are penalized and will pay disproportionally higher rates than those with fewer children.

Should you happen to have a slightly larger house than your neighbour, then you will also face higher per KWh rates.

That same set of key strokes also KATHY showed that those on the brink of MICHAELS being a quadragenarian, like me, need a great deal of consoling, congratulating and even a few tools on how to survive this cultural milestone.

“Turning 40, midlife crises and the balm of literature” has been the article to best meet those needs, so far.

It was aimed at men who mysteriously seem to have the most age-related anxiety, but it at least gave hope that there would be good reading as I headed into “the rest of my life.”

Articles with a feminine focus offered quotes from celebrities of varying merit who have already turned 40. No inspiration found there. I don’t care how toned someone’s arms are at 40. It doesn’t make them any more interesting or relevant than they were at 39, in my humble estimation.

Then there was a lot of new age dreck that doesn’t bear repeating.

that will quell internal questions that have caused me to spend the last few weeks scrutinizing my wardrobe, my bank account and every decision made over the last 14,600 days, give or take.

Trouble is, I’ve been dreading this age for awhile.

In my experience, it makes people a tad unusual. When my dad turned 40, he grew a ponytail—which he currently denies ever having—and bought a nicer-than-he-should-have SUV. At the time, I regularly deadpanned about his “midlife crisis” truck and hair, and was invariably met with a hateful stare, which in turn taught me the meaning of schadenfreude.

I should offer apologies now that I have an inkling of what he may have been going through, but we’d have to revisit the ponytail story, which sends him into an irrational tailspin of denial.

Then there was my mum. Around her midlife mark she stocked up on yam cream in preparation for the hormonal apocalypse, which was to come in a decade or so. And she talked a lot about how she was an old woman, while stocking up on self help books. So while my dad used his remaining follicles Newsroom: Sean Connor, Warren Henderson, Kathy Michaels, Kevin Parnell, Wade Paterson, Jean Russell, Jennifer Smith, Alistair Waters Advertising: Ron Harding, Teresa Huscroft-Brown, Antony Hutton, Sheri Jackson, Robert Lindsay, Rick Methot, Al Tomiak, Michelle Trudeau, Kimberley Vico, Wayne Woollett Classified: Shayla Graf, Emily Vergnano Production: LaToya Allan, Nancy Blow, Kiana Haner-Wilk, Mary Matthews, Laura Millsip, Kelly Ulmer

to fight off the inevitable onslaught of time, my mum softened her skin to slide more easily into her dotage.

I suspect I’ll have to find an altogether different way forward. Forty is a lot different now than it was then, in the ‘90s. If I scan through my list of Facebook friends, there are several dozen of us who had our first children in the last couple of years.

We don’t look or feel as old as our parents did.

Maybe because a lot of us didn’t take on the same responsibilities as early on.

Instead of securing a job with a pension, or a mortgage sometime in our 20s, many of us aimed to have a few career adventures and experiences. It means a lot of us are heading into 40 with a vastly different set of baggage than our predecessors did.

The question for me is, what do I do with it?

While my life looks different than many of those who have gone before me, I can’t pretend this cultural milestone is meaningless.

It has weight on my resume. It even makes the w weight on my hips more meaningful. m It’s a birthday worthy of the hundreds of thousands of articles penned on it. a I just wish there were a few more that offered n a clear roadmap of what’s to come—not that I e wouldn’t try to find my own route—but it would be comforting. i l

opinion_____________________________________________

United States ripping us off on water The U.S. has Canada over a barrel on water as well as Victoria News oil these days, but the tide is turning.

Last week I mentioned TOM a new book called “The FLETCHER Columbia River Treaty—A Primer” by members of Simon Fraser University’s climate adaptation team.

This slim volume makes the case that B.C. has ended up with a shockingly bad deal from this 1964 treaty, which concerned itself entirely with flood control and hydroelectric power.

In those days there was little or no environmental assessment. Agriculture, fish habitat and aboriginal impacts were ignored.

More than a decade after the disastrous flood year of 1948, once Ottawa stopped its bureaucratic delays, U.S. public and private power utilities paid B.C. $254 million to build three dams on the Columbia system.

Those dams (and one at Libby, Montana that mostly floods B.C. land) hold back the huge spring runoff from the Rockies and then dole out water for power production in B.C. and for the 15 hydro dams previously built downstream in the U.S. The U.S. payment was for half the power over 30 years, which B.C. didn’t need at the time. Then our American cousins cut us another cheque for $64 million, an estimate

of the value of flood protection from 1968 all the way to 2024.

Boy, did we get taken.

The SFU team calculates the value of that flood control to the U.S. at more like $32 billion.

That’s not even the worst of it. The Kootenays were once the leading fruit and vegetable growing area in B.C., bigger than the Okanagan.

Now in the Arrow Lakes and other reservoirs, levels rise and fall dramatically to steady the flow south.

In addition to the large areas permanently flooded by the Mica, Duncan and Hugh Keenleyside dams, this renders more of B.C.’s prime bottom land impassable.

B.C. is paid precisely zero for this sacrifice, while Washington state has developed a $5 billion-a-year farm economy using our stable irrigation source. That has helped their tree fruit growers push some Okanagan orchardists out of business.

As U.S. billionaires continue to bankroll environmental attacks on B.C. and Alberta energy projects, it’s worth noting that long before the treaty, the U.S. military-industrial complex had wiped out the Columbia River salmon runs.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its private power partners dammed

everything they could find, exterminating a fishery bigger than the Fraser River that had sustained aboriginal people on both sides of today’s border for thousands of years.

B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett and SFU’s Jon O’Riordan both described to me their experience at the Columbia River Basin conference, held last October in Spokane.

Their main impression was that Americans, including traditional tribes, want those salmon runs restored. Vast amounts have been spent on hatcheries and habitat to speed recovery below the Grand Coulee dam, which stands like a giant tombstone for migratory fisheries above it.

Should the Americans ever manage to get salmon above their biggest dam, it will largely be up to B.C. to provide sufficient cool water to keep them alive. That service has an increasing value to the U.S. as well as an ongoing cost to B.C. Bennett surprised some in Spokane when he said the U.S. needs to pay more for the benefits from the Columbia River Treaty.

The flood control agreement expires in 2024. The treaty requires 10 years’ notice for either country to exit. Climate shifts are expected to make B.C. water more important than ever.

LETTER

Brookside Avenue traffic safety questioned To the editor: The issue of Brookside Avenue and traffic and pedestrian safety is becoming a major issue since the addition of the 70-rental unit development that was allowed on the street.

Now that about 65 percent of the apartments of the new development at 1155 are now rented, there has been an extreme increase in traffic flow up and down the street.

The traffic flow up and down Brookside has gone from 250 to 350 vehicles and pedestrians a day to 700 to 800 a day with the addition of the new vehicles at 1155 City Homes.

It is a known fact that the street width is

7.75 meters at the entrance of Brookside and slowly widens to a whopping 8.25 meters.

With the development going in a variance was allowed to have parking on the development side to of the street to accommodate the short fall of parking at 1155.

This variance was put through to allow the development to proceed. This is no way not enough room for two moving vehicles to pass safely at a width of 7.75 meters.

Remember, safety is the issue here. Now in the winter time a emergency vehicles cannot navigate this road with on coming traffic with snow on the road. They cannot pull off and can only back up. Now how is that safe?

LETTER OF THE WEEK

Pricing scheme called ridiculious LETTER FROM A10 words, if you buy the bolts in bulk you pay more per bolt than buying them individually.

Any reasonable person would find such a pricing scheme ridiculous, yet that in a nutshell is what the BCUC has imposed on electricity customers.

Such pricing schemes can only be incubated and survive in the make believe land of government imposed regulation.

I have contacted the BCUC on several occasions regarding this matter and it is clear they have no serious intention of addressing it.

They argue that they are following a government mandate, yet my local MLA’s office has told me that my only recourse is to keep pressuring the BCUC. It is an odd suggestion given that the BCUC is governed by legislation which the Liberal majority government could swiftly change if they so wished.

Something does not add up in these finger-pointing responses, and this has

understandably added to the frustration felt by many electricity customers.

It is not even clear if the two-tier rate complies with the existing legislation under which the BCUC must operate.

Space does not permit me to say everything that needs to be said on this subject; such an egregious abuse of authority by a regulating body requires several pages to fully dissect.

Energy rebates and other sweeteners cannot mask the underlying unfairness of the pricing scheme, and the fact that the BCUC unscrupulously mislabels what they have done should concern everyone.

One thing is clear: Residents of British Columbia need to voice their concerns more loudly if anything is to change. Never forget, the BCUC and the government work for us, not the other way around.

Nicholas R. Swart, Kelowna

I have dozens of examples now of vehicles parked unsafe trying to get down Brookside and or have the rear of their vehicle sitting on Gordon Drive. Again, how is this safe? And this will only get worse.

With still more units to be rented at 1155, this is only going to increase the traffic on Brookside to a ridiculous level of traffic that will only result in accidents and possibly injury to a bicyclist or even a death.

Who will be there to answer to the families that could possibly lose someone due to this outrageous safety problem that has been put in front of city hall by all residents of Brookside for almost the past two years.

It was put forward to city hall that Brookside be made into a one-way street.

But a person in the planning department said it was too expensive and was too close the riparian area of the creek to open up Brookside again.

Well, it was the city which originally closed Brookside to through traffic years ago and made the street into a cul-de-sac. So why then can’t the city have just cause to re-open Brookside and make it a one-way street?

I do hope that the City of Kelowna knows this will not get better till something is done about it before someone get seriously injured. Just to also remind everyone that there is also a lot of pedestrian traffic that crosses over from Brookside across Gordon Drive to Millbridge Park.

Mill Creek is a natural corridor for bicyclist, skateboarders, dog walkers and pedestrians.

Hundreds of people a week in good weather will walk down Brookside from Pacific Court Park across Gordon Drive (which has not pedestrian traffic light) to Millbridge Park and the other way.

I do hope the city will give this the due consideration it deserves and reconsider changes to this unsafe and soon to become dangerous corridor for vehicles and pedestrians traffic. I would like to get a serious response back from someone in city hall about this ongoing dangerous safety issue.

The forum is being organized with the support of the B.C. Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation, STADD Early Implementation Site for Older Adults, and Community Living BC. The Kelowna Community Development Society has a long history of supporting aging adults with diversabilities through its residential, community integration, outreach and home sharing programs.

In 1988. the society created one of the first community inclusion and integration day programs designed specifically around the needs of aging individuals with developmental disabilities.

Since then, the society has continued to evolve and adapt their programming to meet the ever changing needs of the individuals they serve.

Executive director Daryle Roberts says the society is pleased to be a partner in this upcoming forum.

“We look forward to starting a community conversation so we may learn from each other,”

Roberts said.

“Individuals with diversabilities are living longer than ever before, and this presents new and unique challenges for them, their families, caregivers, and support workers.

“By working together to explore options on good practices in supporting our elders, we can improve the quality of life for everyone.”

There is no cost to attend the forum although pre-registration is required by today (Jan. 9). To register, please contact Karen Waldal at 250-763-6696 or email kwaldal@kcds.info.

DISAPPOINTED VISITOR

Arrival of snow not in time for white Christmas

I’m blaming the mother-in-law.

Now that she is gone home to the coast it is reasonably safe to tattletale on her.

Chances are good she won’t get a hard copy of this newspaper and she is not big on Facebook or online reading so I can pass the blame and run little risk.

Besides, like my own mother use to tell me: “Be careful what you wish for—it may come true.”

I said as much to Otti (Otillia actually) a couple of times. However, much like her daughter, she never takes me very serious.

In fact, even Tez told her mom once or twice to quit mentioning it—but to no avail.

“I love your city, and your house, and yard.

They are all so beautifully decorated, however, it’s just not Christmas without some snow. I sure wish it would snow. I want a white Christmas,” Otti lamented, over and over.

As much as I shared her sentiments (what kid doesn’t want snow for Christmas?), I found her obsession with the fluffy white stuff rather disconcerting.

After all, Mom Tomani lives at the coast in that small community know as Vancouver. Hardly a bastion of polar like weather.

In fact, the last time Vancouver saw a huge amount of snow arrive overnight was likely the last Rolling Stones’ concert.

Ottie’s weather worries actually began the first night she arrived six days before Christmas.

We had caught the weather report on TV which suggested a green Christmas in K-Town and that was enough to start the snowless ball from rolling.

By the time we finished touring the spectacular light displays at Candy Cane Lane in Rutland some three nights later, Otti’s snow-watch worry was nearly epic.

Christmas Eve was tense not just awaiting Santa Claus but also any hint of nature’s dandruff.

Alas, it was not to be. I swear my mother-in-law was pouting on the way

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE to her long winter’s nap.

I foolishly promised there would be snow when she woke up Christmas Day. Well, ‘Mom’ woke up but I was not so sure that was a healthy thing for me when I peeked out the bedroom window in the morning and realized my late night attempted parent appeasement promise had plummeted.

“Oh well, maybe it will snow on Boxing Day or something. That would be nice. Wouldn’t that be nice? Snow for the Christmas holidays,” she continued in her pleading with the weather gods, exaggerating the word holidays.

When a dry Boxing Day (outside the house that is) had come and gone and Otti started back in on the lack of snow, Tez finally bit and sealed our fate.

I cringed as she spoke the fate-stirring words, knowing it would prove

a hex much like mentioning the word shutout to a goalie with a minute left in the game: “Mom, now that you have gone on about it so much it probably won’t snow until you leave town.”

I will be sending Mom some pictures in via snail mail next week.

I know it will not be as satisfying for her seeing snow in pictures as it would be if she was still here. On the other hand if she was here, there would probably not be any snow. Funny how that works.

I am not about to make comment about which of the following two scenarios I would prefer— no snow or no Mom, for two reasons.

Obviously, whatever it is that one wishes for is not always what happens.

And just in case Otti does get a copy of the Capital News, I am already in enough trouble as it is. charliehodge333@gmail. com

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13 years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced.

“The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small.

I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.”

Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.”

Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home.

The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Pipeline Art hosted at the Black Box Prize-winning films from the People on the Pipeline Contest will be featured at Pipeline Art, a free public event in Kelowna tonight (Jan. 9) at the Black Box Theatre, 1435 Water St. Pipeline Art also features conversations with the filmmakers, displays of pipelinerelated art including installation art by middle

school students, and will provide updates on pipeline activity in BC and across the country.

The People on the Pipeline Contest is a project of The Eco Art Incubator, a research initiative of UBC Okanagan.

Filmmaker Denise Kenney directed, starred in, and last May produced a “mock-fomercial” to

launch the contest for the best short video expressing thoughts and opinions about the Northern Gateway pipeline after the public hearings across province, overwhelmingly opposed to the construction, led to federal approval of the National Energy Board’s recommendation.

Among the contest category winners were

10-year-old Kelowna resident Rio Mendoza Angle for Best Children’s Video for “Rio’s People on the Pipeline,” and Mae Glerum, also from Kelowna, for Best Teen’s Video for “Tubing.”

The event will be free of charge and everyone is welcome. Details about the project can be seen on the website peopleonthepipeline.com.

health ____________________________________________________________________ MAKING A RECOVERY

At 53 years of age, Jackie Prokop had to start over completely.

After a stroke left her debilitated in February 2011, she had to relearn the basics of living— everything from walking and eating to reading

and writing. Recovering from the brain-stem hemorrhage she suffered presented a difficult challenge.

“When I was discharged from Kelowna General Hospital, I felt unprepared and

frightened to go it alone,” recalled Prokop.

Her husband was a great support, but Prokop was grateful to hear that a new program offered by the Heart and Stroke Foundation in the fall of 2014, called Living with

MOVERS AND SHAKERS

Stroke, was exactly what she was looking for—an opportunity to connect with others who had gone through a similar experience. She registered right away.

“What an amazing eight weeks it has been,” she said after finishing the program.

“The camaraderie, information and personal experiences shared have been motivating and inspiring for me.

“And not only have I benefited, but my husband also got to share stories with the other spouses at the Living with Stroke program.

Prokop made physical strides, as well. When she started the program, she was using a walker to get around.

At the suggestion of the group, she borrowed

walking poles from Jennifer Monaghan, the program facilitator, to see if she could get enough support using those instead.

She is the now the proud owner of her own set and she loves them.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Living with Stroke program is designed to help stroke survivors and their families improve their quality of life, cope with challenges and connect with others.

Provided free in several B.C. communities including Kelowna, the program is comprised of eight weekly, two-hour sessions.

Weekly topics include impact of stroke, physical changes and keeping active; dealing with emotions and

relationships; reducing future risk and nutrition.

After the success of the launch of the program in Kelowna, Monaghan, a stroke survivor herself, is facilitating another program this month.

The next Living With Stroke program will take place Tuesdays, 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., from Jan. 20 to March 10.

The program sessions will be held at the downtown Kelowna branch of the Okanagan Regional Library, 1380 Ellis St. To register, call 1-888-473-4636 or go to infoline@hsf.bc.ca.

“Women lead busy, hectic lives, often paying the price with their own health and well-being.

“We’re asking them to invest time in understanding the warning signs.

“Whether they’re concerned about getting Alzheimer’s, have just been diagnosed or are a caregiver, we want women to reach out to their local Alzheimer Society. We can support them throughout the disease.”

Take a moment to know the warning signs, often misunderstood or ignored, are critical.

In absence of a cure, early diagnosis allows for treatment and support so people can live as well as possible and start

planning for their future needs.

“Women traditionally monitor the health of their families so it’s even more important they understand this disease to be able to recognize changes in those they care for,” added LowiYoung.

Starting this week, the Alzheimer Society has invited all Canadians to visitalzheimer.ca/the72percent to take a moment and learn the warning signs and share them with friends and families on Facebook and Twitter.

Visitors will also be able to download other helpful resources and find their local Alzheimer society.

Alzheimer’s disease facts Alzheimer’s disease is the leading form of dementia. It is progressive and eventually, fatal.

Today, 747,000 Canadians are living with some form of dementia, a number expected to nearly double to 1.4 million in under 20 years.

Sports ROCKETS HOCKEY

Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

It didn’t take long for the Leon Draisaitl trade to pay dividends for the Kelowna Rockets.

The highly-regarded property of the Edmonton Oilers came as advertised, leading the Rockets to a 4-2 victory over the Vancouver Giants in WHL action Wednesday night at Prospera Place.

The 6-foot-2, 215-pound Draisaitl, who the Rockets acquired on Tuesday from the Prince Albert Raiders, scored a goal and added an assist in his Kelowna debut.

He was named the game’s first star on a night where the Rockets didn’t bring their best game, as they were outshot 41-33.

The German-born forward who, at times, looked like a man among boys against the Giants, was happy with the end result of his first game in a Rockets’ uniform.

“It was a lot of fun,” said Draisaitl. “Of course winning is always a lot of fun, it’s one of the reasons I’m here, because

this team wins and I want to win hockey games.

“As a team there was a couple of areas we weren’t too sharp,” he added. “We gave up a lot of chances and it’s something we have to do better next time.”

Draisaitl assisted on the Rockets’ first goal of the night, a power play marker by Tyson Baillie— his 27th goal of the season—at 8:36 of the opening period.

At the five-minute mark of the second period, on a partial break down the right wing, Draisaitl snapped a shot past Giants’ netminder Cody Porter for his first goal as a Rocket and the eventual game winner.

Widely considered as one of the top 19-yearold players in the world, Draisaitl supplied the Rockets with pretty much what head coach Dan Lambert had hoped for.

“I thought Leon was really good,” Lambert said. “You can tell he’s a dynamic player and a game-changer and I thought he was extremely good.”

Draisaitl—a firstround, third overall NHL draft pick of the Oilers in 2014—spent the first half of the season with Edmonton where he had two goals and nine points in 37 games.

Draisaitl admits being back in the junior ranks with a new team will take some adjusting, but given time he expects chemistry to develop with his new teammates.

“The first game is always really hard,” he said.

“I had one practise, it’s hard to get to know each other, it takes a little while…but I think once we get going and get a couple of practises in, I think it should be good.”

Draisaitl and the Rockets (32-6-3) are back in action tonight when they visit the Kamloops Blazers.

BOWEY, MORRISSEY TO RETURN

On Saturday night, when the Medicine Hat Tigers visit Prospera Place, Draisaitl will be re-united with Canada’s world junior all-star defenceman Josh Morrissey, who the

Rockets acquired in midDecember.

The two played together for two seasons in Prince Albert.

“It’s really exciting,” Draisaitl said of Morrissey’s anticipated arrival. “I played with him

the last few years, he’s still one of my best friends and it’s great that I’m back together with him.”

Captain Madison Bowey will also return to the Rockets’ lineup Saturday after winning gold with Morrissey

at the world junior championship Monday in Toronto.

Head coach Dan Lambert is looking forward to seeing the two elite defenceman go to work for the Rockets.

“It’s going to be a

nice pair to add to our back end,” said Lambert.

“They add so much to the game, not just offensively but defensively as well.

Both are 19-year-old guys with a lot of experience and they know how to win.”

UBCO COACH

Meadows to lead new era of Heat basketball When Heather Semeniuk retires this spring after 21 seasons at the helm, a new era of UBC Okanagan basketball will begin.

At the forefront of the transition will be Claire Meadows, the new head coach of the Heat women’s program.

Meadows spent the last three seasons as the lead assistant coach for the

University of Lethbridge Pronghorns.

“I am excited and honoured to be appointed the next head coach for the UBC Okanagan women’s basketball program,” said Meadows. “It has been a dream of mine to coach in the CIS since I played at this level in university. I am fortunate to be given a position to be able to influence and shape young women

and future leaders in the community.”

As expected, there was plenty of interest in the position from all across the country. In the end, UBCO athletic director Rob Johnson said Meadows was the most logical choice.

“Claire presented a comprehensive plan on how she will start from the foundation Heather

has created and continue to build the strongest possible program at UBC Okanagan,” said Johnson. “Her playing and coaching experience, her commitment to her development as a professional coach— she recently completed a Master’s degree in coaching—and her work with provincial teams, along with her obvious

passion for coaching made this the right choice.”

Meadows will become the school’s second women’s basketball head coach since UBC Okanagan started Canada West and CIS competition in 2011. She replaces Heather Semeniuk who held the position for the past 21 years.

Nick Goplen made it on to the podium for the first time at speed skating’s Canadian Single Distance Championships.

Competing with the country’s best, the 22-year-old Kelowna product skated to a bronze medal in the 16lap mass start event last weekend at Calgary’s Olympic Oval.

The mass start combines speed, endurance and an element of strategy since there are up to 20 skaters in the race vying for Prime points and the final placement.

“It was a nail biter for the spectators and coaches since they are skating at high speeds and diving into the turns en masse,” said Okanagan Regional Training Centre coach, Nancy Goplen.

“Normally, the skaters race in separate lanes so this is quite different for many of them. Agility, good race sense and the physical and

continue to build on what has been implemented by Semeniuk.

“Coach Semeniuk has created a strong foundation for the program in the CIS and I look forward to having the opportunity to build on that, said Meadows.

“Moving forward, I am excited to begin the recruiting process. Once

the current CIS season has concluded and I am in Kelowna, I will begin working with the current student-athletes to plan and shape the vision of the program moving forward.”

Meadows will officially start April 1 but will go to work immediately identifying and conn ecting with recruits.

West Kelowna Warriors get some relief in goal Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Rylan Ferster can breathe a least a moderate sigh of relief as his No. 1 goaltender returns to the lineup this weekend.

Andy Desautels will be back between the pipes for the West Kelowna Warriors when they host the Salmon Arm Silverbacks Friday in BCHL action. Face off at Royal LePage Place is 7 p.m.

Desautels, 20, has been on the shelf since mid-December

after undergoing an emergency appendectomy. To exacerbate the problem, Warriors’ backup Scott Patton suffered a lower body injury prior to Christmas and remains sidelined on a week-toweek basis.

In the interim, Ferster’s resourcefulness was put to the test as he used four different goaltenders— Mike Lenko, Brad Huber, Jordan Reynolds and Colten Lancaster—none of whom had any junior A experience to speak of.

“I’ve never had both of my goalies go down at the same time, so it was a challenge for sure,” said Ferster, the Warriors’ head coach and GM. “It wasn’t easy. You just do you can with what you have.”

Still, with all the upheaval in the crease, the Warriors managed to post a 2-3-0 record to stay smack dab in the thick of the BCHL’s Interior Division playoff race.

West Kelowna (20-140-5) is in third spot, four

points back of the Vernon Vipers and three ahead of Merritt.

“We hobbled and limped our way through it and managed to get some wins,” Ferster said. “If someone in September said we’d be where we are in January, we probably would have taken it. It’s such a tight division, our goal right now is just to make the playoffs. Hopefully we can make a push here and get some wins.”

Ferster added some experience along the

blue line last week for the stretch run of the BCHL season, acquiring a pair of 20-year-olds— Tyler Kunz from the Prince George Spruce Kings and Braeden Jones, who has both BCHL and AJHL experience.

In the two deals, West Kelowna gave up forward Michael Buonincontri, defenseman Greydon Robinson and the playing rights to forward Devon McAndrews.

“We felt it was necessary to get a little

older and experienced on the back end to make a run down the stretch in this tight division,” Ferster said.

The Warriors will also be home Sunday when they host Alberni Valley in a 2:30 p.m. start.

KIJHL HOCKEY

Chiefs back on the ice Saturday

DOUGLAS FARROW/CONTRIBUTED

After a pair of early week games were cancelled by the heavy snowfall, the Kelowna Chiefs return to KIJHL action this Saturday night in Kamloops against the Storm.

The Chiefs’ next home action is Tuesday, Jan. 13 against the Summerland Steam. Face off at Rutland Arena is 7 p.m.

Kelowna was unable to head out on the road earlier this week for games against Columbia Valley on Monday and Revelstoke on Tuesday due to treacherous road conditions.

As of Wednesday afternoon, the games had not been rescheduled.

With the cancellations, the Chiefs have played just two games since Dec. 20.

Kelowna (15-18-2-1) is currently in fourth spot in the Okanagan Division, five points back of the third-place Princeton Posse.

Meanwhile, Braeden Cyra continues to lead the Chiefs in points this season, with nine goals and 33 assists in 36 games. Josh Kobelka is the top goal scorer with 19.

There will be an additional performance Jan. 18, 7:30 p.m., at the Vernon & District Performing Arts Centre.

“This show will give you variety with song and violin as our orchestra brings excitement to the stage throughout the evening bringing the music to life.”

Featured works in this concert are Prince Igor Overture, written by composer Borodin, which is an energetic and lyrical piece; Violin Concerto written by

Kelowna composer Imant Raminsh known for writing music for its’ beauty, melodiousness, and emotional sincerity; and Symphony No. 6. Op. 74, B minor written by Tchaikovsky which was written in 1893 and the last piece written by this popular composer.

Joining the symphony orchestra on stage will be Soprano Eeva-Maria Kopp who started her career in her country of origin, Finland.

Kopp is a prizewinner of several national singing competitions (e.g. Kangasniemi Competition, Lappeenranta Competition), and she has performed with such major companies and festivals as Finnish National Opera, Helsinki

She is a core member of the Houston Grand Opera Orchestra, and has also performed with the Houston Ballet, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and the National Ballet of Canada, as well as the Esprit, Saskatoon, Kamloops and Okanagan Symphony Orchestras.

Travel

Ellen Creager Contributor

It seems like everybody knows somebody coming here for vacation. And that’s no illusion.

Orlando, Fla., is the No. 1 U.S. destination booked by travel agents, according to a fall survey by the giant travel agent group Travel Leaders.

And that doesn’t even count all the vacationers booking their own trips.

With more than 59 million visitors a year, this city’s crowded peak seasons are family vacation periods— Christmas, winter and spring breaks, Easter and summer.

Home to major theme parks and a growing city, Orlando is synonymous with vacation in many people’s minds.

So if you are headed to Orlando in 2015 and haven’t visited in at a year or more, you’re in for a treat. Here’s what’s happening: ••• The elegant Orlando Eye rising over International Drive is more than pie in the sky.

At the moment, the 400-foot-tall cantilevered observation wheel has a pie-shaped slice missing at the top while it’s being constructed, but by summer 2015 when it opens it will create a rather romantic signature attraction for the city.

It is being built by Merlin Entertainments Group. Those are the same folks who own Legoland and Britain’s London Eye. Forty feet shorter than the original Eye, its glass cabs will hold 15 instead of 25 passengers but still

are sure to awe riders.

That’s not all. Next to the Eye will be a new Madame Tussauds Orlando plus a small aquarium called Sea Life Orlando. The redeveloping “I-Drive 360” area also has new restaurants and amazingly enough, free parking.

“Our goal is to be a destination so people can take a break from the parks,” says Andrea Alava, Merlin spokeswoman.

International Drive meanders next to the I-4 freeway near all the major Orlando theme parks, so most visitors drive it sooner or later to get around.

With champagne sunset rides, the Eye likely will do just that, as will the nice, ongoing upgrade of the oncetacky International Drive.

Down the road is planned a new spiral vertical roller coaster, swing chair ride and more entertainment— and who knows what else. (internationaldriveorlando.com.)

••• Yes, Seaworld Orlando is the park unpopular with animal rights activists because of its orca whale exhibit. I could see the impact at the “One Ocean” show the first week of December— about a third of Shamu Stadium empty.

I witnessed a rather wooden performance by the handlers, who are no longer allowed to go in the water with the massive black and white orcas since one killed a trainer here in 2010.

I also saw less orca merchandise, with a lot more turtle, manatee,

Tourists are bound for Orlando

However, SeaWorld Orlando itself is a wonderful park.

The joyful Blue Horizons dolphin show with its divers, acrobats and flying birds was exactly what a live show should be.

The sea turtle TurtleTrek exhibit was inspiring. I liked the moody Manta coaster swooping overhead in the park’s center, and the Antarctica “Empire of the Penguin” exhibit had 30-minute lines.

That indicates to me that although park attendance has indeed fallen (down 5.2 per cent in the third quarter alone, after a year-long swoon) visitors are still coming and maybe making decisions about what to see when they arrive.

Some visitors may shun SeaWorld because of

pressure they feel from animal rights activists, but balance that with the fact that the scenic park has rescued tens of thousands of sea creatures in the last decades, including from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and that the fees you pay the park help fund this work and research (seaworldparks.com).

••• The happiest place on Earth,Walt Disney World, heard some anxious muttering when it switched over to a new high-tech ticketing system last year and completely changed how the FastPass system works.

But things are now smoothing out as guests become used to it, said Phil Holmes, vicepresident for the Magic Kingdom, as we watched people entering the park simply by waving a wristband that contains all their information.

Beyond that, those who have not been to Disney for at least a year will feel a chill in the air because of more “Frozen” activities everywhere.

The mega-popular animated film has swiped Cinderella Castle, turning it into a nightly holiday ice palace. I also saw the Frozen Sing-Along Celebration, with little girls shouting out every word of every song— including hard words such as “fractals.”

At a “Frozen” character meet, small visitors stood in mute awe when they met Anna and Elsa, even though some had waited an hour in line. A new “Frozen” ride is coming to Epcot in 2016.

Elsewhere, Downtown Disney is transforming into Disney Springs by 2016 with new shopping and entertainment.

Meantime, the zesty Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, which opened in May, is worth waiting for.

It has had decent reviews from coaster enthusiasts even though it’s tame enough for youngsters (disneyworld. com).

••• The big word at Universal Orlando is still is Harry Potter.

Diagon Alley opened in July, and within a month, a million people had ridden the four-minutelong Hogwarts Express train between Diagon Alley and the original Wizarding World of Harry Potter Hogsmeade venue.

A million!

When I visited last month, I was surprised at how many adults —some in capes and pointed black wizard hats—were wandering the streets.

Diagon Alley has plenty of places to buy magic

wands and then use them, making quill pens levitate or making writing magically appear on a scroll.

A fire-breathing dragon atop a tower makes its scary appearance every hour; I saw a toddler burst into tears when he saw it. The new Diagon Alley ride, Escape from Gringotts, a combination simulator-indoor coaster, has had some reliability issues, but if it stops you get to ride it again.

Is there some kind of spell on it? It even stopped briefly when I rode it.

Meanwhile, Universal Orlando and its companion Islands of Adventure look clean and shiny and feel fun.

Universal opened Cabana Bay Beach Resort last year and plans a 1,000-room Loews Sapphire Falls Resort for 2016.

Well-told tales of travel are generated from world classroom

John Bordsen

The many ways to get around Ruth Atherley

Contributor

contributor

CONTRIBUTED

One of the more unusual travel books out this year is “An Innocent Abroad: Life-Changing Trips From 35 Great Writers.”

“Great” includes Tim Cahill (a founding editor of Outside magazine), Jan Morris (war correspondent, author of 19 travel books, notably “Venice”), Jane Smiley (Pulitzer-winning novelist of “A Thousand Acres”), nonfiction bestseller Simon Winchester (“The Professor and the Madman,”) and thriller novelist David Baldacci (“The Innocent”).

But this $15.99 Lonely Planet anthology also features pieces by stellar storytellers you never heard of.

The tales, all short, were assembled and edited by Don George, longtime travel writer and currently an editorat-large for National Geographic Traveler, and editor for the BBC’s travel website.

I talked to him recently about the book.

Question: How did you pick these 35 pieces—and how did you find them?

Answer: I drew up a wish list of writers I would love to work with and sent emails to them, their agents, their publishers.

That’s how I got almost half the writers. I also have a pretty good stable of writers whose work I love; that was maybe another 15 stories or so.

I then opened the theme up to the world at large, inviting travelers and travel writers via social media; four or five came from that.

One piece appeared in an online publication but hasn’t been in print. All the others were written for this anthology.

Q. What do the 35 stories have in common?

A. Transformation. It’s the innocence the writer brought to experience.

It’s an alchemical effect— something that changed the writer’s life.

In some stories, it’s something small. Jane Smiley’s is about taking a horse-riding trip through France.

Her horse goes lame and she ends up traveling with her husband, who rents a car and keeps getting lost. But her experience leads to some beautiful, revelatory moments.

TRAVELING NEW ZEALAND

Travel writer/editor Don George, in France: “I realized that for me the classroom was the world, and vice versa.”

Then there are bigger stories, where a person’s life is actually changed.

One I love is by Anna Vodecka; it’s an amazing story about a youth ministry trip to Europe.

Q. What else do their tales share?

A. Ignorance at the start, definitely. And they grab you from (the) first few paragraphs and take you on incredible journeys.

Q. What’s the humourtragedy mix?

A. I’d say maybe 80 per cent have moments of mild or possible tragedy that end up being happy.

The rest are sad but moving and meaningful.

One is about a guy traveling through Sri Lanka, just before the civil war began in the 1980s. He was in a charming village with charming kids. Later, he was reading news reports about revolutionaries who swept through that area and pretty much destroyed the village and killed the villagers.

One night, back home, he looks up at the constellations—as he had during his wonderful trip to South Asia—and was thinking that the people he had such a good time with are probably no longer there.

Q. Which story has the least travel?

A. There’s one by a guy who lives in California and who spent his life traveling around the world. His story takes place in Nevada, at the annual Burning Man event. Of all his lifechanging experiences, he chose this place just hours from his home to write about. Of course, Burning

Man is like an alternative universe in other ways.

The story I chose to end the book was by an Australian who traveled around the world. She writes about coming home, and how home was so incredibly different than it had been.

I think that’s what travel is all about: You have incredible experiences, come home, and because you’re now different the world you return to is different.

People in New Zealand, like those in the UK and Australia, drive on the “other side of the road” from what we do in Canada.

This sometimes makes Canadian visitors to New Zealand a little apprehensive about getting behind the wheel.

In fact, it is a pretty easy shift to make.

First, there are only about 4.5 million people in the entire country, so once you are outside of Auckland (population of 1.4 million), there aren’t many vehicles on the roads.

Even if you rented a standard, the pedals are in the same place as they are in Canada.

An easy way to remember which side to drive on is to keep the line in the middle of the road on the driver’s side—just like you would at home.

But for those who choose not to self-drive, there are many ways to get around the country.

For the backpacker crowd, the Kiwi Experience—New Zealand’s leading hopon, hop-off bus—offers loads of fun and social

Sunwest Tours

interaction.

With over 25 years of experience, the company’s iconic green buses can be seen all over the North and South Islands, picking up and dropping off travelers at the country’s most popular destinations and hidden gems.

The bus drivers are passionate and knowledgeable about New Zealand and their commentary informs and entertains.

With a range of packages to choose from, sitting back and letting someone else take the wheel couldn’t be easier, more affordable or as much fun.

Visitors looking to stretch out and relax will love taking the train.

KiwiRail Scenic Journeys is the way to travel in comfort and style.

It offers wide panoramic side and roof windows, an on-board

licensed café with hot meals and local beer and wine, along with many other amenities.

Since the country is only 268,021 square kilometres in total (Alberta is 661,848 square kilometres), the distance between breathtaking regions isn’t far at all.

For the sightseer who wants to get around on their own two feet, New Zealand is home to several great walkable cities.

The safe and welcoming environments of the downtown cores of Auckland, Wellington and Queenstown offer top attractions, accommodations, restaurants, nightlife and more—all within easy walking distance.

The cities also offer convenient and simpleto-navigate public transportation, and there are plenty of taxis if your

feet need a rest.

Many New Zealand tour operators are happy to pick guests up at their accommodation.

From hiking and cycling to food and wine, from nature walks to Hobbitrelated tours, and from city tours to kayaking excursions, operators will often transfer visitors back and forth between the activity and their lodge, hotel, B&B or hostel.

Air New Zealand (airnewzealand.ca) has direct non-stop flights from Vancouver to Auckland and offers flights from many other North American cities.

WAYNE EMMITT BOYD Passed away peacefully at his home at the Sun Point Village on Sunday, January 4, 2015, three days before is 68th birthday.

Wayne was predeceased by his mother, Margaret in 2007, as well as his father, Bill and sister Kathleen in 1994. Wayne was a unique individual who never let his personal and physical challenges interfere with his love of animals, nature, and wildlife. He spent many hours pursuing adventures and activities through the assistance of his dear friend and caregiver Wanda Sheath, who was the navigator and driver taking him off the “beaten path” to experience what life had to offer. He revisited many locations remembered from his childhood, bringing back memories of camping with his family. His quick wit, his kibitzing with staff and friends, and his endless knowledge of classic cars, their models and years, will be remembered by all who knew Wayne. His volunteer spirit as a “greeter” at the front door of Sun Pointe Village will be sadly missed by many. Friends and Staff will honour Wayne at a Celebration of Life at Sun Pointe Village on Thursday, January 15th @ 2:30pm.

A funeral mass and prayers will take place at St. Charles Garnier Catholic Church on Wednesday, January 14th @ 8:30AM -- 3645 Benvoulin Rd. Kelowna.

KAREL L BLAZEK, P.ENG Passed on peacefully on 2 January 2015 after a short illness while vacationing with his family on his favorite island of Maui in Hawaii.

Karel is survived by his wife of 51 years Marie Blazek, his son Robert, his daughter Eva-Marie, son-in-law Olaf, and grand-children Elise and Raphaella. He was pre-deceased by his beloved grand-daughter Aguila. Karel and Marie have been Kelowna residents since 1976. A graduate of Charles University of Prague in Civil Engineering, Karel was successful in his field of civil engineering, leading large engineering projects in his native Czech Republic. After escaping the communist ruled Czech Republic in 1963 with his future wife Ing. Marie Blazek, he led large engineering projects in Bavaria, Germany, Canada and the United States. Before his university studies, he attended the Czechoslovakian Air Force Academy, planning to become a professional pilot, but he left because he refused to cooperate with the communist rule. Still flying remained his interest to the last days of his life, and he was an avid private pilot, specifically enjoying flying small planes in British Columbia and Hawaii. Karel was a Member of Association of Professional Engineers and Geologists of B.C., Member of U.S. Air Force Association, Member of Canadian Owners and Pilots Association, and Member of the Rotary Club. He will be dearly missed as a devoted father and husband by his family, as well as by his many friends.

suspension but the S model does run on 20-inch wheels and tires making it feel very connected to the road. This will not be the choice of traditional luxury buyers; they will like the more upscale 300C for grand touring.

Verdict Starting at $37,395 and maxing out at $45,295 for an AWD platinum V6 model, there are many trims to choose (V8 equipped cars run roughly $2,000 more).

The base is the value leader, the S is the sporty model, with standard 20-inch wheels, and the 300C Platinum is the one featuring the opulent interior. Chrysler believes that the S model will be the volume leader thanks to the aggressive black trim and chunky wheels. This is a surprise because the Dodge Charger is based on the same platform and has the whole “bad boy” attitude in spades, something the 300 looks to be mimicking. The top Platinum would be my choice because it’s interior is so different from the Dodge, something that truly separates the two cars plus it has all the latest safety features including the autonomous braking system when a crash is detected. Much has changed in 10 years for the 300 but the same goodness that was in the 2005 model is still here; it is the refinement that makes this a modern sedan.

“Take me home Super Cruise” could be a command that future Cadillac owners may be saying to their automobile, in the not too distant future.

GM’s luxury brand seems likely to be first automaker to offer a fully automated driving feature in a production vehicle. Super Cruise is one of three entries vying for the 2015 AJAC Best New Auto Safety Technology Award.

A similar entry from Honda called AcuraWatch takes us to the brink of automation and another GM entry will be of interest to those who

like to cruise the Internet.

GM—Super Cruise: Super Cruise is the working name that GM has given a yet to be released automated driving technology that will (or can) allow hands-offthe-wheel lane following, braking and speed control, in certain highway driving situations.

The goal of this technology is to increase the comfort of an attentive driver on freeways, both in bumperto-bumper traffic and on long road trips.

The claimed safety value of Super Cruise is that it could mitigate many traffic

collisions and improve traffic congestion. The system sends and receives basic safety information such as location, speed and direction of travel between vehicles that are approaching each other.

It will warn drivers and can supplement active safety features, such as forward collision warning, already available on many production cars.

Super Cruise will also add a new lane-centering technology that relies on forward-looking cameras and other sensors to detect markings, curves and other

road characteristics. It will also use a series of alerts to communicate with the driver based on human factor research conducted on test tracks.

A simulator is also being used to measure driver eye glance behavior and control interactions in computer-generated automated driving situations.

A combination of radar, ultrasonic sensors, cameras and GPS map data are used

by Super Cruise to provide 360 degrees of crash risk detection bubble around the vehicle and enhanced driver assist features. Super

Hands-free automated technology.

Cruise is still undergoing real-world driving assessments and is expected to make its way into Cadillac production models in 2017.

Honda/Acura— AcuraWatch: A system that takes vehicle operation to the brink of automation, AcuraWatch is a suite of driver-assist technologies that’s offered in the Technology and Elite editions of the new Acura TLX. An interesting new tech included in this package is the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with LowSpeed Follow (LSF). Unlike other systems of this ilk, it uses both grille-mounted (millimeter-wave) radar and a windshield mounted camera to monitor and maintain a preset vehicle speed and following distance interval to the vehicle directly ahead.

The Low-Speed Follow feature is designed primarily for use in stop and go traffic. If the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, the TLX will also come to a stop. If the vehicle ahead then moves within three seconds, the TLX will automatically resume Low-Speed Follow mode. If the vehicle ahead does not move within three seconds, then the driver can resume Low Speed Follow by pressing the “RES” switch up or down, or by taping the gas pedal.

Other systems included in the AcuraWatch package include Multi-Angle Rearview Camera and Cross Traffic Monitor, Forward Collision Warning, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Road

CONTRIBUTED

Departure Mitigation and Blind Spot Information.

GM—10th Generation OnStar: A 10th generation of GM’s OnStar telematics system with 4G LTE has been rolled out in most of its 2015 model year vehicles. It basically turns the vehicle into a WiFi hotspot that allows occupants to connect up to seven personal devices (smartphones, laptops, tablets etc.) and have them work just like they do at home.

The 4GLTE feature also enhances OnStar’s array of safety and security services and provides a more personal experience as the OnStar agent can stay on the line as they manage the vehicle data interface.

A new addition is remote diagnostic, which provides a customer with a monthly health status on their vehicle and it can also assist with arranging a maintenance appointment.

A clever smartphone app, called OnStar RemoteLink Key Fob Services, allows an owner to lock or unlock doors, activate the horn and lights, and remotely start a properly-equipped vehicle.

It’s included free for five years. OnStar is standard in all 2015 GM vehicles and advisors currently respond to approximately 185,000 calls every day.

All three technologies are competing for the 2015 AJAC Best New Auto Safety Technology Award, which will be announced Jan. 15 at the Montreal Auto Show. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc. ca
