Close-Up WILDCAT HELICOPTERS

Local firm backs helicopter rescue initiative Alistair Waters A West Kelowna helicopter company is coming to the rescue of those stranded in the B.C. wilderness.

And it hopes the provincial government will see the value of including its specially equipped helicopter, capable of lifting the sick or injured out of terrain that would otherwise be difficult to reach, as part of its provincial emergency response program.

According to Ian Wilson, vice-president of Wildcat Helicopters, its B.C. Rescue chopper not only can reach remote areas and deposit specially trained search and rescue technicians and paramedics to injured and stranded people, it can do so much quicker than any other method.

“The number one priority is saving lives and increasing quality of life,” said Wilson, adding while there would be substantial an up-front cost, the downstream savings could be substantial, especially to the health care system.

The company’s chopper is equipped with a special winch system that can both lift massive weights and the specially trained personnel needed to start offering medical assistance sooner, and also hoist up the injured person into the helicopter so paramedics can continue offering medical assistance as the patient is being flown directly to hospital.

The chopper is the first non-military aircraft in the country with such hoist capabilities.

ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS

awaters@kelonwqacapnews.com

Provincial government cabinet minister Shirley Bond checked out the B.C. Rescue helicopter operated by Wildcat Helicopters.

The West Kelowna firm is participating in a rescue service pilot project and covering the expenses initially with the hope the provincial government will see the financial benefits of funding the program.

Currently, helicopters called in to rescue people are smaller and use what is known as a “long line,” in essence a rope that dangles the rescuer and then the rescued person in the air as the chopper flies.

It requires using valuable time to set up for each rescue and does not allow for in-flight medical treatment.

Wildcat has teamed up with Vernon Search and Rescue and Emergency Management B.C. to provide the helicopter, equipment and crew at its own cost as part of a twoyear pilot project aimed at showing the province the benefits of this initiative.

Wildcat hopes thsoe benefits will convince the province to fund the program.

Wildcat, said Wilson, is well qualified to provide the service given its long history doing it in other countries, such as the UK and Australia.

“Canada is about 25 years behind on this (helicopter hoist rescue),” he said. “We find that amazing given this country is a leader in aviation.”

With the type of terrain in this province, Wilson says the need for helicopter hoist rescue capability is crucial.

He gave the example of a rescue in the wilderness

in the Williams Lake area.

He said his aircraft could be dispatched from its West Kelowna base, pick up SAR techs and paramedics in Vernon, fly to the scene, lower the paramedics to the help the injured person, hover above, hoist everyone back into the helicopter and have paramedics continue to work on the patient as they are flown directly to hospital in Kamloops faster than a regular ambulance could get to the scene from Williams Lake by road in the winter.

And the quicker a sick or injured person is transported to the hospital the better.

Getting them to hospital quickly means they will likely spend less time in a hospital bed as a result.

Wilson said the average cost of a patient staying in a critical care bed in hospital in B.C. is about $5,000 per day, while a stay in a regular ward bed is about $3,000 per day.

“So the downstream savings could be huge,” he said.

The company makes no secret of the fact it would like to be the one to operate such a service, if the province was willing to pay for it.

But for this pilot project phase, the company is doing it on its own dime.

The helicopter is being used for the project is fully equipped with everything the search and rescue technicians and paramedics need with the exception of the paramedics drugs.

The company is also covering the cost of maintaining the helicopter and training and providing the aircraft’s crew.

Wilson said the helicopter being used is worth about $4.5 million and the special hoist it uses costs $250,000 alone.

Since it went into service in October, the helicopter and its crew has been contacted for

missions 11 times through Emergency Management B.C.’s dispatch centre and of those calls, sent out five times. The other six calls were stopped by darkness and weather conditions.

Of the five calls it has gone out on, two were to rescue injured snowmobilers in the North Okanagan back country, two were to recover bodies of people who died in the wilderness and one was to aid in the search after car went off a road and plunged 600 metres down a steep embankment.

With the accident, the helicopter crew was able to ascertain that no one was in the car went it went off the road.

Wilson said what his crews did from the air in a few hours would have taken ground crews all night and would have put them in danger.

With a range of 720 kilometres and traveling at a top speed of 240 km/h, the B.C. Rescue helicopter can be in the air for about three hours at a time.

Its rapid response capability means it can reach throughout the Southern Interior region in a matter of minutes.

For ground emergency response crews, it can take much longer just to reach an area by road and then they often still have to hike into the area where the person to be rescue is located.

“In the winter they have to deal with snow and in the summer they have to deal with congested roads,” said Wilson.

“We don’t.” @kelownacapnews

“The proceeds received by the Rutland Park Society will be reinvested into the aging Centennial Hall to bring it up to current building code requirements so it can be better utilized by the community,” said Rutland Park Society president Todd Sanderson.

“As a society we are very excited to have this deal done as not only will the park be improved, but we can now also improve the hall so that it can once again be a focal point for local celebrations and events.”

He said public input is needed to help prioritize future park amenities and that input will be collected at a public information session planned for Wednesday, Feb. 18, from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., in the Centennial Hall.

More care beds for seniors

Kelowna and Vernon are getting 185 more seniors’ residential care beds.

According to Interior Health, which says it has issued a request for proposals to organizations to provide the beds, the move will help the health authority continue to meet the needs of seniors in the Okanagan.

One hundred of the new beds will be located in Kelowna, with the remaining 85 to be added in Vernon.

“According to the 2011 census, the seniors’ population in Kelowna rose by almost 12 per cent between 2006 and 2011,” said KelownaLake Country MLA Norm Letnick. “These new beds will help ensure the future needs of the growing number of seniors in the Okanagan are met.”

Residential beds provide 24/7 care and support for individuals with complex care needs who are no longer able to live at home independently or with supports.

After much deliberation, a dozen speakers and two different petitions with nearly 800 signatures combined, the Central Okanagan School Board has decided to go back to the drawing board in its attempts to change the catchment areas for the three elementary schools in Lake Country.

Close to 100 people attended the regular meeting of the school board on Wednesday night in Kelowna as the board of trustees heard presentations from parents representing the

Oyama Traditional School as well as a Lake Country subdivision as the issue of how to deal with overcrowding at Davidson Road Elementary in Lake Country took centre stage.

Of the three elementary schools in Lake Country, only Davidson Road is overcapacity and the school district spent the last year holding public meetings at each of the schools to hear from parents.

In a tense meeting that featured applause as well as cat-calls from the gallery, David Grabavac, a parent from the Lakes subdivision, accused the school board of collusion in its decision-making process, prompting board chair Moyra Baxter to fire back.

“I don’t think we need to use words like that when we are talking about something like this,” she said. “It’s a difficult decision and we are trying to do what’s best for the children.

These are your neighbors you are talking about. It’s time we grew up. We keep talking about what’s best for the children and I don’t think any of us have behaved in an adult way in all of this.”

The school board heard pleas from representatives of the Oyama Traditional

School, asking that new catchment areas help boost the student population in Oyama long-term to avoid any potential closure of the school as they presented 470 signatures against proposed new boundaries. Parents from the Lakes subdivision came forward with a petition with over 300

names asking that the proposal be passed, keeping their subdivision in the Davidson Road catchment area.

Other parents also spoke, bringing forward alternate plans and options for the trustees to consider. A representative of the Central Okanagan Parent Advisory Council called for cooler heads to prevail.

“I’d like to remind everyone that we need to think about children first, not dividing neighborhoods against neighborhoods,” said Vivian Evans, COPAC president. “Let’s make sure the population is distributed so we keep all schools viable and we allow our students to have a good education.

I believe every school in our district is providing a good education. I plead with the board to do the best for all students, not just one particular group.”

In speaking to a staff recommendation to change the catchments, trustee Julia Fraser said it wasn’t good enough and the issue needed to be looked at again.

“Even if this recommendation passes, it is a band-aid solution at best and the board will still need to cap Davidson Road which defeats the purpose of the recommendation in the very first place,” she said.

In the end trustees voted 4-2 to defeat the motion and send the catchment review back to a board committee for further discussion, with the Lake Country trustee abstaining from the vote after she was accused of a conflict of interest.

“I believe the recommendation is a piece-meal approach,” said Baxter. “To me we need to get all of you in the room together and put everything on the table. We need to broaden the public consultation to make sure we do it properly.”

The catchments in Lake Country will not change for the 2015-16 school session. Registration will take place Monday morning and some students in the Davidson Road catchment will have to attend school at one of the other schools. It’s not known when the catchment review will continue. @KP_media1

French immersion needs direction in SD 23 Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

The Central Okanagan School District will form a task force to look into the future of the growing French immersion program in the Central Okanagan.

Board trustees voted to begin a comprehensive consultation process on the future of French immersion as more students continue to enter the program and some French immersion schools struggle with capacity issues.

“French immersion needs a full-blown review to find out what exactly we are going to do,” said trustee Rolli Cacchioni.

“We’ve been dealing with this on an ad-hoc basis for 20 years. We need to find out what direction we are going to take so people can do some planning, so when kids go into kindergarten, they have some idea what direction they are taking.”

Currently there are six elementary schools in the district offering French immersion while KLO middle school is the only French immersion middle school and KSS the only high school.

At KLO the number of French immersion students entering the middle school has started to surpass students enrolled in English programs and this fall the school will be overcapacity.

“We know for September 2015 we can’t accommodate all kids feeding into KLO,” said Central Okanagan superintendent Hugh Gloster. “It’s above capacity and the ratio of students in French to English has shifted and is now going in favour of those in the French immersion program.

A life-long Conservative disillusioned To the editor: I have been following politics closely since the days of the greatest Canadian, Tommy Douglas, and over those years I have voted mostly for the Conservatives.

LETTER OF THE WEEK Over the last four years, I have closely followed the actions of our majority Conservative government, and have come to the conclusion that their actions have eroded our democratic system to the point of precluding hundreds of thousands of Canadian taxpayers from exercising our inherent rights; whether it be rights we have under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the veteran’s bill of rights or our taxpayer bill of rights.

It’s a fact that thousands of Canadians have had to file applications in federal court in order to attain those rights offered

Obviously, all of us will be scrutinizing the various proposed legislation put forth by various parties in the upcoming federal election; and I respect any and all Canadians’ views, whether they may agree or disagree with mine.

The real question needs to be: Will we actually have a voice in our democracy by way of consultation, discussion, debates and votes through our elected representatives? I don’t feel this has happened over the last few years of our majority Conservative government. It is my view… government is to be for the people, by the people.

Stand up to slothdom. Stand up to disease.

Stand up for work.

The last one should be read less like a battle cry and more like a whine of resignation.

Unpleasant idea, isn’t it?

The very reason I went to university was so I could avoid the misery of jobs that kept me on my feet all day, but these are modern times.

Bad is good, good is terrible and it’s my job to keep up or, as the case may be, stand up.

As I write this column, I’m two hours into my stand-up experiment—yesterday was spent rigging the various levels to this desk up—and it’s not so awful.

My knees are a bit…present. I’m strangely aware of my posture and the plot of my work day has yet to be completely

Letters HIGHER EDUCATION DEBT

One student’s thoughts on education debt Editor’s Note: In the spirit of creative expression, we leave this text in the manner it was presented.

To the editor:

What do student loans mean to you?

I write with an aim of extending my gratitude towards our government in regards to my student debt. A somewhat novel approach towards an entity that engulfs countless people. You’ve allowed me an opportunity to experience the completion of a University/College/Post-Secondary education here in British Columbia, Canada. I thank you for the loans wholeheartedly.

Regardless of my monetary state of indebtedness I feel endeared.

Becoming a scholar, reading into our world, and uncovering an ability to critique with class. All made possible by my drive and your capital. Seeing everything in it’s simplicity became my first step in understanding the much deeper lessons rooted in life, lecture, and complexity. Now that I have graduated, what have I made my step one?

There were times when I’d feel sorrow in regards to my debt. I used to ask questions like; What does that debt set me up for after graduation? Where does the government expect me to get so much capital after graduation? Scratch that thinking, it’s time to work hard. Professionalism and positivity mean nothing without passion or purpose. Now to find it. Ambitions will take you and attitude will make you. Stress in regards to money is enough to take down giants. At ease ladies and gentlemen money will always be made, a therapeutic thought approach to debt counselling.

as much as it should be about accomplishing your goals. Did I need an education for that? Maybe, maybe not. I have no fear in admitting I am in search of something more. I believe those who think they know it all are effortlessly giving up on their own imaginations and unique potentiality. It’s what makes us who we are after all. An interesting phenomenon to grasp. Becoming conscious of our own evolution should always be questioned.

Nothing can or will take my education away from me. Nor will it be taken from you. As I continually stray from writing to the government alone, I’ll write for the reader. Even if I were a sick, homeless, drunk, or a lost crusader stranded as the captain of a sinking ship. I would still own an ability to sustain imaginative creativity. Truly our imaginations rule our nations. Have we honed in on them collectively and realized the powerful influence of our own social capital?

As an alumni I am thankful. Within these spaces, words, and grammatical structures I entrust the reader will empathize. Quite possibly, others may speak with more evocative bravado than I choose too. I fight for my name, because everyone deserves one. Be that hero, have that courage, and maintain your ability to act out in support of your people. The good people. Education helped me get here and I must be forward in my purpose. Keep your chin up fellow students and alumni, life long learners, and anyone else who chose to read along with me. The answer to my step one is that it’s already been payed for, because education has an imaginative way of paying for itself in the long run.

Conservative government Work station ‘playing politics’ with 50th refit for anniversary of Cdn flag better health another $200,000 to fund celebrations by provincial lieutenant-governors and other organizations.

Contrast that amount to the government spending $5.2 million commemorating the bicentennial of the War of 1812. Remember those slick TV ads that ran ad nauseam?

This year the government is spending $4 million to mark Conservative Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald’s 200th birthday.

Macdonald will also be featured on the new toonie, special gold and silver coins, and a new stamp.

One would think that at the very least the government would have planned a national celebration on February 15th on Parliament Hill.

If you think the Conservatives aren’t playing politics with the flag, then I have a bridge to nowhere to sell you. Cheap.

To the editor: February 15 marks the 50th anniversary of Canada’s distinctive national flag, also known as the Maple Leaf and l’Unifolié (French for “the one-leafed”).

In 1964, Liberal Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson formed a committee, and the new flag made its first official appearance on February 15, 1965.

At noon on Parliament Hill, 26-year-old RCMP constable Joseph Secours lowered the Red Ensign and hoisted the new flag atop the Peace Tower.

The flag was designed by Dr. George Stanley. The final design was established by Jacques St-Cyr. The precise dimensions of red and white were suggested by George Bist, and the technical description of the precise shade of red (RGB 255-0-0) defined by Dr. Günter Wyszecki.

The Harper government has allotted $50,000 for the 50th anniversary, along with

Our government has had the opportunity to actually respond to many issues and their inaction on so many files gives credence to the idea that our system is, in fact, broken.

We need to always remember that “we” are the government and “we” are to be represented by those we elect. It’s up to us now to ensure our voices are heard.

He then allegedly cornered her in the bathroom, berated her and threatened to beat her.

She said she initially cowered, but when she imagined her daughter seeing her battered and bruised, she decided to get up and go.

It meant literally standing up to him and walking away—a feat she described to be terrifying, noting that by the time she reached the front door she was shaking so hard she could barely tie her shoelaces.

At that moment she also realized her ordeal could be over by simply slinking into the night, and opting to never see the man again.

Instead, she told him she was leaving and pressing charges.

Within 40 hours of that incident, he’d been released with a restraining order, which she said he breached within 10 minutes to insist that she not pursue charges.

An arrest warrant was then issued, and after 20 hours “she began to lose hope” and decided

MOTHER FROM A10 to make the video where she told her story, shared the name of her alleged attacker and asked for the online world’s help.

Roughly 13,500 views and 733 photo shares and seven hours later, he was in custody again.

Upon his second release, he again breached the conditions of his restraining order and tried to make contact. He’s still at large.

“I’m terrified,” she said, noting that Thursday afternoon was the first time she’d been alone, in public, since the altercation, and it was unnerving.

What’s worse, she explained, is that ensuring her safety as well as the safety of her daughter, falls on her alone.

When she first contacted the police, they told her that even after her alleged attacker was arrested, the matter wouldn’t make it to court for at least six months.

Worse yet, it wouldn’t be considered serious unless she was stabbed or beaten until unconsciousness or hospitalization.

A court restraining order means her alleged attacker can be arrested if he comes in contact with her, but the reality is that “a piece of paper” doesn’t always deter would-be attackers.

With that in mind, police have told her to work out an “exit strategy.”

One such strategy from a woman in a similar position included going to sleep with a hammer on their nightstand, she explained.

She was also told if she decided to buy a home security system, she’d be reimbursed.

“This should not be my only resolution,” she said.

“There are flaws in the system and the RCMP and government have their arms tied behind backs.”

She also could make the choice to just disappear but, she said, that’s not an option.

“The response I am getting from my Facebook is phenomenal.

“Every time someone gives me a personal story about being a victim, I add it to this arsenal within myself and I draw on it when I think I’m putting myself and my family in danger,” she said.

Mayor highlights future development in Kelowna Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

In his first state of the municipality address, Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran called the fouryear term of the current city council, a “turning point” for the city in terms of development and a changing economy.

Addressing a large crowd gathered Wednesday for the annual Kelowna Chamber of Commerce State of

the City lunch meeting at the Capri Hotel, Basran dwelled more on what is coming up than what the city has done to date.

He described the major changes coming to the city in the next four years, highlighting the amount of private and public investment, especially downtown.

“The city’s skyline will change with major new developments coming on the market downtown, in Rutland and South

Pandosy,” said Basran.

“But I expect the change over the next four years to be more profound than just the urban landscape.”

Citing statistics that show rising numbers of people working locally in the technology and professional sectors, the mayor said Kelowna is shifting to a knowledgebased economy. That shift is helped by the “four pillars” of the local economy—Okanagan

Telling your story most accurately —the Kelowna Capital News

It will have the same address but new plans for the Lucaya building are quite different than what was introduced to the community before it and the real estate market took a header.

“It’s going to be the same 21-storey height and the same basic structure, but it will be not as grand,” said Don Warkentin, with Fortune Marketing.

The previous developer wanted to build large, two- and three-bedroom suites on the site at 1223 Water St. Now the building will be comprised of one

bedroom, one-bedroom and den, and twobedroom suites.

“There will be approximately 155 units, and they will start in price at $255,000—so they will be affordable,” he said.

Warkentin explained the developer is confident that the product will meet a need in the community, and that’s why things are finally moving along.

“The real estate market really didn’t turn here until last year, and they needed the excess inventory of condos in Kelowna to be sold, which has happened,” he said.

“So the timing is right.

We feel the appetite is there.”

The Lucaya condo project’s original design has been altered, retaining the 21-storey height but not quite as grand in its design to allow the condo units to be more affordably priced.

The developer is looking to feed the appetite of Kelowna home buyers with this product. “We’ve done our research…This will be very affordable for anyone, especially with today’s low mortgage rates.”

Your best source of community news— Kelowna Capital News

We learned in the news recently about a strict policy issued in an email to coaches of the Toronto Leaside Girls Hockey Association.

The email included this directive regarding physical contact with players: “Putting hands on shoulders, slapping butts, tapping them on the helmet, NOTHING, this can make some of the girls uncomfortable and you won’t know which ones, so no contact, period.”

The directive followed a complaint about what

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT was referred to as “a congratulations doled out by a volunteer parent,” which included slapping the child’s behind.

I have previously written about issues that I argue bear an important relationship to this one.

In a past column, I wrote about consent in the context of adults,

#SOH2015

stating: “There is no gray area in consent. You can’t ‘innocently’ engage in a nonconsensual act.

There is either a ‘yes’ (unimpaired) or there is no consent.”

Recent news stories about underreported sexual assaults in Canadian universities underscore the much more serious aspect of this issue. So how best do we change our culture of, perhaps “presumed consent,” to where consent is never presumed and always obtained?

Perhaps raising generations of children with firm boundaries about uninvited physical touching will lead to generations of adults with those same boundaries?

Do we not owe this to our children anyway? Should we not be empowering our children to have firmly established boundaries about uninvited physical contact, particularly from

those in positions of authority?

Are we giving our children confusing, mixed messages if we don’t insist that absolutely every adult having care of our children follow the directive issued by the Toronto Leaside Girls Hockey Association?

Is it enough to leave it up to our children to speak up if they are touched in a way that makes them uncomfortable?

We have learned through the prevalence of child sexual abuse in our society that this is not enough. Would such a strict policy result in a loss of the consoling hug from a kindergarten teacher and other elements of physical touch that we feel is beneficial to our children? Yes. Would that loss be outweighed by the benefits to our children and future generations of establishing and maintaining firm boundaries around consent? I argue that it would.

Arm and Elbow Pain Successfully Treated by Shockwave Therapy

Bid to promote town centre growth M

Alistair Waters

awaters@kelownacapnews.com

In an effort to encourage revitalization in Westbank Centre, West Kelowna council is considering a reduction in development cost charges for the area.

And the council wants to know what the public thinks about that.

Council gave first, second and third reading Jan. 13 to its proposed Westbank Centre Development Cost Charges Reduction Bylaw and is now seeking public input.

DCCs are charged by municipalities to developers to help pay for capital costs associated with providing and improving public infrastructure.

A DCC reduction, stemming from a recommendation in the Westbank Centre Revitalization Plan, is intended to help accelerate development in the area which has seen several businesses close in recent years and little

new development replace those that have left.

Part of the exodus has been spurred by the creation of new commercial and retail space nearby on Westbank First Nation Land, causing some Westbank Centre businesses to relocate.

Other larger stores, such as Walmart, Winners, London Drugs and the longer established Canadian Tire and Home Depot, are also drawing more shoppers

away from the businesses in downtown Westbank.

The district has said it plans to build a new municipal hall as part of a larger private development in the area and it has invested in the downtown Westbank area by fixing up some streets and creating a new transit hub.

Development industry representatives have advised the district that existing market conditions, coupled with an increase in

construction costs, are making it difficult to commence desired projects.

As a result, the district has been asked to explore reductions for certain fees to assist with private sector investment in Westbank Centre.

The draft bylaw has been scaled to feature a deeper reduction for higher density, mixed use projects and smaller reductions for projects that propose less density.

Four-year-old Olivia Priede is a fighter.

Diagnosed with central core myopathy at three months of age, doctors initially informed Olivia’s family that she may never walk.

But together with her family, along with some help from groups such as Variety—The Childrens’ Charity, the young Kelowna girl has already begun to show signs that she will prove doctors wrong.

Last year, Olivia started taking private swim lessons and within the waters of the kid’s pool at Parkinson Recreation Centre showed that fighting spirit as she took her first steps in the buoyant confines of the pool.

“When doctors told us she will need a wheelchair and to prepare that she may never walk, I was completely devastated. I refused to believe it,” said mother Alyson Priede, who recalled the feeling seeing her daughter take those steps in the swimming pool.

“I was sobbing. I had waited so long to see her do that. It was remarkable, It is what keeps me going.”

Central core myopathy is a neuromuscular disease that affects the development of muscles to varying degrees.

Alyson also suffers with the disorder, although she wasn’t properly diagnosed with it until she was 24 years old, and the effects of the disease aren’t as strong with her.

“Olivia is more affected by the disease than I am because I was carrying the gene,” said Alyson.

“She has a great attitude about her disability. She is aware she is different but she has a spirit in her that is determined to be able to do anything in her own way. She is a fighter.”

While she continues to work towards eventually proving doctors wrong, Olivia can walk using her leg braces, in a walker or holding hands with someone although she doesn’t have proper balance to do it herself.

At home or in daycare, she mostly gets around by crawling, accomplishing

simple tasks that many families take for granted.

In everything she does, that fighting spirit shines through. “When she accomplishes something she has worked so hard to do, the look on her face is priceless,” said Alyson.

“Then I sob and she asks me why I’m crying and she tells me it’s OK. I am so proud of her. We have been handed a lot in four years but you just have to keep your chin up and stay positive.

“There may be a few bumps and challenges along the way, but we always get through it. I know she will walk one day. I just don’t know when.”

As a child, Alyson did not walk until she was three years old. Now as an adult, she still suffers from the effects of central core myopathy.

Alyson cannot run or jump, stairs are difficult and she cannot lift Olivia from the ground up. So as she watches her young daughter deal with many of the same things she has in her life, it creates a strong bond.

“We have a bond like no other mother/ daughter,” she said. “I know exactly what she is going through and the frustrations that are going to come up in her life. I will be there by her side to talk her through it and let her know it will be OK.” While the Priedes continue to work through the issues surrounding Olivia’s disability, this weekend they will take part in the annual Variety Show of Hearts Telethon, helping to raise money, not only for Olivia but also for many other children and families who need help from the public.

It’s a way of giving back to the charity that has supported the Priedes since Alyson was diagnosed, helping the family afford a van and the conversion needed to make it wheelchair friendly, among other things.

Alyson, her husband David and Olivia are all heading to Vancouver to the Show of Hearts Telethon. Alyson will volunteer on the phone lines and Olivia will present fundraising totals with other kid champions from throughout B.C.

“It’s funny because I grew up watching the telethon with my mom and sister and now we are a part of it and Olivia will have a segment,” said Alyson. “Variety has been very generous to our family, they are very understanding and familiar with our circumstances.”

The Variety Show of Hearts Telethon is this

Saturday and Sunday on Global BC. The telethon will feature a family spotlight on the Priedes, Sunday at 1 p.m. If you wish to donate to Olivia’s Variety fundraiser you can call Alyson directly on Sunday between 11 a.m. and noon at 604549-7001. You can also donate online at variety. bc.ca. @KP_media1

Neuromuscular disease afflicts mother and her daughter

Olivia Priede, 4, with her mom Alyson Priede.

“Could this be the investment that will help me sleep tonight?”

Have you ever found yourself asking that question?

The right answer could be life changing, both financially and emotionally. A sleep at night investment could mean the difference between tossing and turning as the tired mind rides the gut wrenching rollercoaster of the markets into the wee hours and ... with the right investment, sleeping more soundly, with fewer or no knots in the tummy and greater clarity of purpose when arising to face another day.

A sleep at night investment could mean spending less precious sleep time wrestling with another tough question. “I know I need more ‘balance’ in my portfolio to get it working harder for me ‘right now’, but how do I do that?” Alas, the elusive answer cannot be found on the ceiling they are staring at, while wishing themselves to sleep.

These and even more tough questions and concerns are facing hundreds of thousands of people all across the province and from all walks of life, right now, today. Are you one of them? If your honest answer is yes, or even maybe, then you should read further and learn about a very rare investment opportunity that has just recently become available for BC taxpayers that could very well provide you with the sleepless night remedy you have been searching for.

There are many great investment opportunities out there, the more successful ones seem to be those that provide a unique solution to a serious problem that afflicts a large consumer market, of which many are prepared to pay for that solution. Take this serious problem for instance ...

The Shuswap/North Okanagan has a Problem When combined, Shuswap and Mara Lakes boast almost 400 kms of stunningly beautiful shoreline and 350 sq. kms of the freshest, finest recreational waters to be found anywhere today. But, that’s not the problem, that’s a blessing.

The problem lies in the fact that in all of this massive, prime tourism area, there is NOT ONE fully amenitized resort on a beach to serve the thousands of affluent travellers who would come to and in many, many cases, come

Introducing the Solution to this Region’s Biggest Problem ...

back to this region every year to spend their vacation and business dollars. But they don’t, because of the serious lack of quality accommodations to meet their needs of today, not yesterday. Which means millions of dollars in potential economic impact is lost to this area every year and that’s the big problem in dire need of a solution.

Mara Lakeside Resort & Spa & Sicamous could be the Solution Located smack dab at the intersection of Shuswap and Mara Lakes and equidistant from the Calgary area and the Lower Mainland, Sicamous was once the Mecca of the North Okanagan for campers, trailer enthusiasts & RV’ers. But a huge number of those who used to visit have outgrown the camping and trailering experiences and are now looking for quality resort style accommodations and superior guest experiences and unfortunately (and with all due respect), the handful of roadside motels, sprinkling of B&B’s and residential rentals currently available in Sicamous just aren’t offering the location, quality or amenities that today’s savvy traveller is demanding and willing to pay for. So thousands of potential visitors are going somewhere else.

Learn more about this truly unique investment opportunity and how it could be the investment that will help you sleep at night by visiting our exclusive Okanagan Preview Presentation at

Mara Lakeside Resort is a fabulous new 79 suite luxury boutique resort, currently being designed in a unique Cape Cod architectural theme and planned along one of the finest beaches in the region (and beyond for that matter) and right in Sicamous. A true quality resort that could provide the discerning travelling public with remarkable guest experiences for decades to come.

Located on approx. 2.5 acres of Mara Lake beachfront property, virtually untouched by development, with natural forestation, a babbling creek and almost 1,000 ft. of white, sandy beach (that’s like the length of three football fields).

Also planned for the resort is a top quality beachfront restaurant, state of the art wellness spa, full marina, conference facility, lobby bistro/wine bar, snack bar and curio store, underground parking and many more features, too numerous to list in this ad.

Why do we conserve heritage places?

Valuing our past seems in its simplest form, to be a natural human inclination.

The assumption is that heritage places are valuable, scarce and nonrenewable.

If they were not truly valuable to society or if they were infinitely available and renewable, management for their conservation would be unimportant or unnecessary.

The Cameron House as well as the surrounding parkland was a donation to the citizens of Kelowna.

The Camerons, Alister and Sophie, ran a sheep herd operation on this land. They were farmers and were not wealthy.

They raised their two daughters in this home.

Alister and his two brothers served in the First World War. His brother Ian was killed at Vimy Ridge.

Historic buildings and areas from other eras provide us with a diversity of building forms which give character and charm to our cities and countryside. Once destroyed they can never be replaced.

A built environment should give a feeling of continuity and maintain a balance between the old and new.

A living community must possess visible reminders of the past as a stable and relevant backdrop to the activities of the present.

Does the cost of $530,000 by Kelowna taxpayers sound like a lot of money to be spent on an unkept house in the middle of a community park? Sure does.

We think there are opportunities to look at alternate solutions than spending this much money. But on the other hand, if we are not willing to spend the money that it will take to make the Cameron House a useful building again, maybe we should give this significant piece of inner city parkland back to the Cameron family and they can parcel it up and sell the lots.

Heat battles Bisons in playoff opener Rookie

forward makes up for lost time

GREYSTOKE PHOTOGRAPHY

As the No. 2-ranked team in the country, it’s no surprise to see the UBC Okanagan Heat head into the Canada West playoffs a unified and confident group with high expectations.

Still, fourth-year power hitter Breanna Beamish and her Heat teammates are taking the one-gameat-a-time approach in their big-picture quest to make it to CIS nationals at the end of the month.

UBC Okanagan will begin its post-season trek against the defending Canadian champion Manitoba Bisons in the best-of-three Canada West quarterfinals, starting Friday at 6 p.m. at the Kelowna campus.

“We know this is playoffs, but we try and treat this like any other match, whether it’s Brandon or TRU or Manitoba,” said Beamish, who was back in the lineup last weekend after recovering from a hamstring injury. “We know Manitoba is the defending national champs and they’re going to throw everything they have at us.

“We feel like we match up well against them and are going in feeling confident… not overconfident, but focused on what we need to do.”

Match 2 is set for Saturday at 5 p.m., with a third, if necessary, set for Sunday at 3 p.m. at UBCO. The Heat is coming off the best regular season in its brief history with a 19-5 record, which included a 13-match winning streak.

Steve Manuel’s program has taken some

UBC Okanagan’s Katy Klomps (left) and Megan Festival will be looking to shut down conference kills leader Rachel Cockrell and the Manitoba Bisons this weekend in Canada West volleyball playoff action. major steps forward in each of its four years in Canada West. Now, no longer the new kids on the block, the Heat head coach believes his team is well-positioned to continue breaking new ground for the program.

“For the first time we’re going into this with a target on our backs and that’s fine with us, it means we’ve been progressing,” Manuel said. “We have a group that’s battle-hardened and is looking to take this further than last year.

“At the same time, we have to make sure we take care of things

this weekend and play the way we’re capable of against Manitoba.”

As for peaking for the playoffs, Manuel believes his team’s best volleyball still awaits.

The Heat turned aside Brandon in back-to-back matches last weekend, setting the tone for the most important time of year.

“Brandon came in wanting those matches and gave everything they had to beat us, but the girls kept pushing back,” Manuel said. “Those were almost like playoff matches, so it was a chance to ramp up for the

real thing. I don’t think we’ve played our best yet.”

The series winner will advance to the Canada West Final Four Feb. 19 and 20 at the University of Alberta.

Last year, the Heat finished fourth.

SEMENIUK’S FINALE…

When the UBC Okanagan Heat hosts UNBC on Friday night in Canada West women’s basketball, it will mark the end of an era.

After 21 seasons at the helm of the women’s program, head coach Heather Semeniuk will be

stepping down.

Semeniuk said it’s relationships, not the games the she’ll remember most about her career at UBCO. “We as people are important, not as numbers, not as anything else,” Semeniuk says.

“I don’t consider this a business. I consider it a career, something that I am passionate about, and that’s who I am.

And that’s why I say this is about people and not anything else.”

The Heat and Timberwolves tip off Friday at 8 p.m.

By missing 25 of the first 27 games with injury, Dillon Dube’s rookie season in the Western Hockey League didn’t exactly unfold the way the Cochrane, AB native had envisioned.

But the 16-year-old Kelowna Rockets forward has proven to be rather adept at making up for lost time.

Dube, the Rockets’ first round choice in the 2013 bantam draft, has scored 14 goals and added five assists in just 30 games—a pace that would have given him 33 goals over a full campaign.

“I’m starting to get my feet under me, I’m starting to hit full stride,” Dube said. “The guys have been giving me confidence, I’m feeling better with more games, and getting in the lineup every night has been helping me out.”

Head coach Dan Lambert, for one, is thrilled, yet not overly surprised with Dube’s play—particularly since the Christmas break.

“He’s been very good for us,” Lambert said of Dube, who scored two goals in Monday’s 5-2 home ice win over Prince George. “He’s been finding the net pretty regularly for us throughout his games played. He’s got a great quick release, and he hits the net typically on his

Dillon Dube

chances. He’s going to be an exciting player for us for a long time.”

Dube is the third in a line of three consecutive skilled forwards the Rockets selected in the opening round of the WHL bantam draft, following Rourke Chartier in 2011 and Nick Merkley in 2012.

While Dube admits watching both Chartier and Merkley has been beneficial to his development, the 5-foot10, 175-pound forward said playing on a line with Edmonton Oilers’ draft pick Leon Draisaitl has been a positive, eyeopening experience.

“Draistail has been helping me out a lot, he’s really showing me the ropes,” said Dube.

“Basically everything he’s done, to get to where is….he’s helping me out a lot.”

Dube, Draisaitl and the Rockets (42-9-3-1) will open a three-game home stand Friday night against the Victoria Royals.

The Moose Jaw Warriors will visit Prospera Place on Saturday, with the Kamloops Blazers to come to town next Wednesday night.

Warriors look to grind out playoff spot Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

As of Friday night’s opening face off at Royal LePage Place, the West Kelowna Warriors will be on the outside looking in.

By the end of the regular season, Rylan Ferster hopes his club will be back in the mix with one of four BCHL Interior Division playoff spots in its possession.

With six games remaining in their schedule, the fifth-place Warriors trail third-place Salmon Arm by three points and fourth-place Merritt by one point. The Cents have two games in hand on both teams.

For a realistic chance at catching a post-season berth, Ferster estimates his team will likely need to win five, maybe all, of its remaining games.

And while it may be

a hackneyed cliché, the Warriors’ head coach said the ‘one-game-at-time’ approach has never been more appropriate.

“If there’s ever a time that’s applied to us, it’s right now,” said Ferster.

“We have to take care of our own business and not worry about what other teams are doing.

Of course you’re always scoreboard watching, but there’s nothing you can really do except look after your end of it, and that means taking it one game at a time.”

Starting with Friday’s 7 p.m. face off at home to Trail, the Warriors will play three of their last six games against the Smoke Eaters, with single games against Nanaimo, Chilliwack and Surrey.

Five of those six games are at LePage.

Trail may be in last place and out of the

playoff picture, but Ferster insists the Smoke Eaters can be just as dangerous as any team in the very competitive Interior Division.

“They’ve been in games all year,” Ferster said of Trail. “It’s not indicative of where they are, they’re a very tough team to play against. Our division is so good, there are no easy games and that includes Trail.”

In a division where points are at a premium and no game is a gimme, the Warriors battled through some minislumps this season that may or may not ultimately cost them a spot in the post-season.

Ferster said having No. 1 and No. 2 goaltenders, Andy Desautel and Scott Patton, on the shelf at the same time in 2014-15 certainly didn’t help the Warriors’ cause.

“That’s been an area of struggle for us, having both of our goalies out for a lot of a six-week stretch, that made it tough on us,” he said.

“Our APs did a great job but that’s a lot to ask of those young guys. All teams battle through injuries and I’m not making excuses…but I’ve never seen anything like that in my time.”

Patton will return to the lineup Friday to make his first start since being sidelined with an injury Dec. 19.

Desautels, who has been out twice with injury and once with an appendectomy, is expected back next week.

The Warriors are home again Sunday as they take on the Nanaimo Clippers in a 2:30 p.m. start. @capnewsports.ca

writing to be much less inhibited.

Initially, she drafted the story from several other perspectives, but she felt that the voice wasn’t quite right.

She wanted to take the time to explore how and what perspective was best suited to tell the adventures of this great man.

“I felt lucky that nobody had written a contemporary tale about Daniel Boone’s life, and I had a blank canvas to tell this intensely powerful story of finding new worlds and the sacrifices

made for this discovery, including murder and kidnapping,” she said.

Hawley is currently on sabbatical.

The novel is her second published work, following the collection of short stories, The Old Familiar, which received accolades of its own.

She holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree and a Master of Studies in Research Methods in English from Oxford University, and a Master of Arts in Creative Writing from the University of East Anglia.

“We are very proud of Dr. Hawley’s achievement with this novel, which we are certain will establish her as one of Canada’s leading authors in the Canadian writing community,” said Robert Huxtable, Okanagan College’s Dean of Arts and Foundational Programs.

“Her commitment

to writing has always nourished her passion for post-secondary teaching, obviously benefiting our students, and it is appropriate that her writing nourishes the imaginations and reading interests of the public at large.”

Hawley will read passages from her novel and share insights and anecdotes about her writing process at The Bohemian Café in Kelowna (524 Bernard Ave.) on Thursday, Feb. 19, 7 p.m.

Books will be for sale and a book signing will follow. A recording of an original song inspired by Boone’s story, composed and performed by musicians The Old Familiar which includes Hawley’s brother and Tariq, will also be heard.

Hawley’s All True Not A Lie In It is available at Mosaic Books in downtown Kelowna.

—yet adopted—by a Shawnee Chief.

A striking image Hawley saw in a National Geographic magazine when she was only 10 inspired her to conjure up the adventurous and historical world of Boone, and tell his tale from his perspective.

“It was a labour of love, one that was six years in the making,” says Hawley, a English department professor at Okanagan College.

“In the end, I chose to write the novel longhand, which was a challenge, but I think it helped me connect more deeply with Daniel, his life and his story.”

Hawley wrote each moment, chapter, phrase and word of the 371page novel in longhand, rewriting the story as needed.

While not an easy feat, it gave Hawley a sense of freedom and allowed her

Students at Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus will soon have a bright new gathering space thanks to a donation by a local family.

In memory of Frank Christian, his wife Barbara Christian along with her children Randy, Lorinda, and Liana have pledged $75,000 to support a new food service seating space in the trades training complex that is currently

Frank & Barbara Christian

undergoing a major renovation and expansion along KLO Road.

When Randy and Lorinda heard about the need for expanded study and gathering spaces in the new trades complex, they knew they wanted to help build a space that would bring students together and foster a sense of community on campus. The family’s donation is also intended to recognize his parents’ contribution to the community, explained

their son Randy.

“Having owned car and RV dealerships, obviously the automotive trade has played a big role in our family’s businesses. So when we learned about the new trades complex and the opportunities it will provide for students, the focus aligned with our family’s history and our desire to give something back to the next generation.”

Feel your best on lValentine’s Day Tristaca Curley Contributor

Whether you have a partner or are single, chances are on Valentine’s Day this Saturday you will partake in rich foods and alcohol beverages.

In fact, Canadians consume approximately 488 million litres of wine and spend nearly $1.5 billion on chocolate every year.

So here are some tips to help you feel your best this weekend.

Eat a small meal or snack every three to four hours.

Going long periods between eating causes blood sugar to drop and shifts our metabolism into slow gear, breaking down muscle mass for energy and storing fat.

Stick to high fibre, protein-rich choices such as veggies and hummus, fruit with nut butter, or steel cut oats with hemp seeds and agave syrup.

This will also help offset the rich foods that will likely be eaten later in the evening.

Be a steady sipper.

Since our metabolism relies on water to function efficiently, taking in enough fluids will keep energy levels high and stop us from feeling bloated and lethargic come late afternoon.

As an added bonus, studies have shown that drinking two cups of water before each meal can increase weight loss by about 50 per cent.

Another option is to try sipping herbal tea or water spiked with fresh herbs and lemon.

Include natural aphrodisiacs throughout your day. Research has shown that saffron, nutmeg, maca, panax ginseng, and chocolate may have aphrodisiac effects.

Or begin your day with a romance-boosting smoothie—frozen banana, almond milk, cocoa, nutmeg and maca powder.

Scientists have found that red wine and the compounds in it may improve sexual health, prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, reduce cancer risk, and protect heart health.

Eat while you nosh.

Food slows down how quickly alcohol is absorbed into the blood stream, and helps prevent the dreaded hangover.

Eating will also help

Norwegian celebration

slow down how quickly you drink.

Snack before sleep.

Have a small snack before bed that includes both protein and carbohydrate, such as cheese and crackers or peanut butter and toast.

The cost is $4/person.

Board games will be played following the dessert. The event takes place at Kelowna Club

LAS VEGAS—Nobody likes to get fleeced, especially in Las Vegas, where the odds are stacked in favour of a good time and a lighter wallet. So why are The Venetian, The Palazzo, the Bellagio and other resorts filled with images of sheep, goats and rams? Because this is the time when casinos go all out to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

Feb. 19 marks the

beginning of the Year of the Sheep/Goat/Ram in the Chinese zodiac.

Kind-hearted and clever are traits attributed to people born under this sign. Rachel Carson and Michelangelo are sheep people, as well as Nicole Kidman and Bruce Willis.

If you are in Las Vegas between now and early March, you will notice the bell tower at the entrance to The Venetian hotel and casino draped in “Year of the Goat” banners. On Feb. 19, the traditional Lion Dance will take

place in the hotel lobby and parade through the property. The dance is considered good luck for the new year.

The rotunda between The Palazzo and The Venetian is already decorated with colourful red and yellow Chinese lanterns hanging from the ceiling over a vignette of three mountain goats surrounded by large and small gold coins.

The displays near the waterfall atrium feature sheep covered in white carnations representing

Giant gold coins are placed among the 1,200 blooming flowers, including hyacinth and orchids. A feng shui master worked with horticulturalists at the resorts to increase the luck at the casino.

A plaque notes that the gold coins are there

“to attract fortune and wealth to our visitors.”

Inscribed in Chinese characters is the message: “May your happiness be according to your wishes,” and on the reverse side, “Live as long as the tortoise and the crane.” Both animals are symbols of longevity for

the Chinese.

The resort that really goes all out for the Chinese New Year is the Bellagio. Famous for its dancing fountains, the Bellagio has the most elaborate exhibit in town under its glass conservatory and botanical garden, with

22,000 red-and-gold flowers, bonsai trees, silk lanterns, trees hung with red lanterns, and a 14foot mountain topped with a family of five mechanical goats. There is also a 21,000-gallon koi pond topped by a 12-foot-tall lantern, figures of Chinese

ucts like the Grand Cherokee. With 420 lb.-ft. or torque, this new “EcoDiesel” has the same output as Ford’s Ecoboost but not the same towing capacity. Rated at 9200 lbs. this truck will be perfect for buyers who want impressive fuel economy and good towing capacity; a balance of usability and thriftiness. This engine has not been rated yet for fuel economy but, thanks to a standard 8-speed automatic transmission, the new EcoDiesel is going to get better numbers than the already class-leading gasoline V6 RAM. Having driven both the Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel and this RAM, I find the gearing and attitude of the RAM much more dynamic and actually inspiring to drive. In real world driving situations, this big luxurious truck can actually return fuel economy of 10L/100km without babying the engine.

Verdict RAM has seen huge sales growth over the last few years due to constant improvements instead of waiting years to update its rigs. It started with dynamic exterior design, followed by class leading interior, then an 8-speed automatic and now a Diesel. There is even an off-road ready RAM, just shown in Detroit, due to arrive called the Rebel. The RAM EcoDiesel has been selling very well and Chrysler claims they will put this truck up against the new aluminum F-150 for top dog in the fuel economy race. Good times to be looking for a truck.

Kelowna’s Monster Jam driver Cam McQueen hopes his Northern Nightmare truck will give the Grave Digger bad dreams on February 28.

That’s when the World Freestyle Champion will steer his Maple Leaf themed truck into a head-to-head battle at BC Place Stadium with the powerhouse of the circuit.

“Vancouver is my home show, I have lots of family and friends planning to attend so I want to do well,” says the determined 36-year-old man.

“We built a brand new chassis so I can go bigger in freestyle and be a much better contender in racing.”

The car-crushing monster truck action featuring 12 trucks gets under way at 7 p.m. Monster Jam royalty Tom Meents, the 11-time World Champion driver of Max-D; will be in the lineup and Scarlet Bandit returns after a 12-year hiatus.

Die-hard fans can enjoy the Party in the Pits preshow experience from 2 p.m. Regular tickets range from $25 to $50 and some children’s tickets are available for $10 each at Ticketmaster. All Access Pass packages are $125 and Pit Passes $10. More info at monsterjam.com. .com.

Acura has replaced two cars in its fleet with just one – gone are the TLX and TL, replaced by the TLX. This car is offered with a wide array of engine and transmission choices in front wheel drive (FWD) or all wheel drive (AWD). The price starts at $34,990 and runs up to $49,642, which means it will appeal to a wide range of buyers.

The TLX is based on the Honda Accord and comes with a base 4-cylinder engine with FWD and allwheel steering. This model also comes with an all-new 8-speed duel clutch automatic. Then the V6 equipped cars can be ordered with FWD and all wheel steering or AWD. This is where it gets confusing; the AWD cars come with a different, 9-speed automatic.

Looks To be honest, taking two cars and mashing them into one is beyond confusion.

The length of the TLX is shorter than both the older cars but the wheelbase is longer than the TLX and the same as the old TL. Acura has stuck with the shield grille design that has received much criticism over the years. However, it toned down the blunt and edgy look of the grille and incorporated tasty looking duel LED headlamps, yet another signature of the brand.

The front and rear overhangs are nice and tight making this car look compact and athletic. Wheel sizes range from 17-inches to 18-inches depending on the trim level. All models come with a rear view camera and higher trim levels are fitted with a cross-traffic monitoring system that alerts the driver of incoming traffic when backing out of a parking spot.

Inside Acura and Honda are moving towards a two-screen centre console for radio and entertainment information and navigation and backup camera capabilities. This looks first rate but it can take a while to master the quirks of the system.

a reference; it might actually be a better buy. The V6 cars, especially the AWD model is not nearly as responsive as the old car. It doesn’t feel as solid or as performance oriented as the last car and the 9-speed automatic can feel very busy at times. The biggest problem will be telling customers what this car is. There are so many different engine, transmission and packages that it could confuse the customer. zack.spencer@drivewaybc. ca

Credit must go to Acura for making a new, totally different kind of car.

covered in soft-touch materials, first rate fit and finish and a sporty design that is eye catching. Cars equipped with the optional 9-speed transmission get a different shift controller in the between the seats. This is unique take on something that has been working perfectly well for decades.

Sometimes change for change sake is not better.

The rear of the TLX isn’t the biggest in the mid-size class; cars like the VW Passat dwarf the legroom in the TLX. The base model comes with faux leather and heated front seats. A tech package is optional and it includes a heated steering wheel and heated rear seats, features that come standard on the Tech package V6 model.

Drive The base engine is a 2.4L direct injection 4-cylinder with 206hp and all the power goes to the front wheels though an all-new 8-speed duel clutch automatic. In addition FWD models of both the base 4-cylinder and V6 equipped cars gets Acura’s Precision All Wheel Steering (PAWS) system as standard equipment. This actually turns the rear wheels, ever so slightly, for slow speed maneuvering or high-speed stability. The V6 is a 290hp 3.5L unit with an optional AWD system that replaces the PAWS system. This model also gets ta different 9-speed ZF automatic that is shared other automakers like Chrysler and Range Rover. This is the car I test drove and it radically changes the character of the TLX compared to the old TL AWD. The transmission wants to shift to the highest gear possible to conserve fuel but the downside is the more sedate driving experience. The more powerful 3.7L found in the TL is no longer offered. The TLX feels solid and capable but very different from the older cars it replaces. Don’t expect more of the same; this is a whole new product.

Verdict Credit must go to Acura for making a new, totally different kind of car. The TLX is nothing like the cars it replaces, which is good and bad. There is certainly a lot packed into all trim levels and at a price that is attractive but sometimes change has one yearning for the good old days. The 4-cylinder cars provide a gateway into the premium experience but buyers might want to try the beautiful V6 equipped Honda Accord as

boxer engine, transmission, and differentials create a symmetrical layout left to right. This increases stability in every situation, as there is less weight transfer from side to side.

Also, unlike the competitors, each vehicle is designed from the ground up to have a symmetrical AWD system as a standard feature. This makes the chassis and powertrain a harmonious match. Other competitors often start with a 2WD system and add AWD to the same chassis.

It’s that kind of symmetry and engineering that instills confidence in Subaru owners.

More than 96 percent of Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today.

The symmetry allows for predictable and stable power delivery to each wheel, which was apparent in my test drive. With the traction control (VDC) on, you might experience a little bit of slippage if you go into a corner too hot.

But within moments, you’ll have your back end back where it should be. Yes, it’s a little bit of a killjoy if you’re honing your skills to qualify for a driver’s seat in WRC, but for 99.9 percent of the owners, it’s a saving grace.

Subaru’s active systems do their best to keep the driver and its passengers feeling relaxed and calm behind the wheel. Such was the case as the temperatures in Quebec plummeted below -15C. The frigid yet abundantly sunny day seemed like a perfect pair for taking the aforementioned Subarus for a test.

Starting the day with the XV Crosstrek, which has an MSRP of $24,995, was a treat. This light-on-its-feet crossover has charm and

character.

Even with the available CVT transmission, it’s pleasant to drive and has the ingredients to make it a desirable all-season kind of vehicle.

Next came the Forester. At a starting MSRP of $25,995, this five-passenger Subaru has some great qualities.

Its high seating position elevates the driver to have a great field of vision and the roomy interior and excellent cargo capacity off 974L (seats up), or 2,115 L (seats down) sure fits a lot of stuff inside.

Lastly, and my favourite of the batch, was the all-new 2015 Outback ($27,995.)

Maybe it’s because I love wagons, or the fact that there’s an impressive 1,005 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats (2,075L with them folded), or that you can get it with a 6-speed manual, it’s a very well-balanced vehicle. Not to mention comfortable and quiet too.

Both the Forester and Outback have a little something extra, too. The CVT equipped models feature X-Mode, a system that further helps you gain more traction in low traction environments, and comes with hill descent control.

All of these great cars come with 220 mm of ground clearance, meaning you can save your money on a snow shovel! Okay, that’s not entirely true, but that ground clearance allows you to trek deeper off the beaten path if that’s what you’re into.

Throughout the day’s activities, whether it was engaging the X-Mode system while stopped in the middle of a snowy incline, or allowing the hill descent control to work its magic descending that same snowy mound, one thing is certain: Subaru builds a strong product.

One might argue that they’re a little behind when it comes to styling and aesthetics. But not everyone needs the prettiest SUV on the market or one that is the most tech-savvy when it comes to infotainment.

The pillars on which these cars are built are the fundamental blocks that allow their owners to put their faith in them and have a blast while doing it.

Journey is based on a stretched version of a Dodge mid-sized sedan platform and is available in all-wheel-drive editions. The “flexible” seating package includes a 50/50 split third-row seat plus a 60/40 split, tilt and slide second row seat and three-zone air conditioning. This Journey can quickly adapt (without taking seats out) into a variety of passenger seating and/or cargo configurations.

Family-friendly features included optional pop-up booster seats for children.

Other neat features available in a Journey included under-floor removable cargo bins, extra storage under the front passenger seat cushion and a handy rechargeable LED flashlight.

The original two engines choices were a 2.4-litre four-cylinder in a base SE trim and a 3.5-litre V6 came in SXT and R/T trim levels.

The 2.4-litre engine is coupled with a four-speed automatic transaxle and is the front-drive (only) version. Fuel economy is 11.0 L/100 km in the city and 8.0 L/100 km on the highway.

Changes in 2010 were relatively minor but did include standard active head restraints on the front seats. The base SE trim also came with a Canada Value Package that added keyless remote, illuminated entry and “Stain Repel” cloth seats.

The 2011 Journey came with a bunch of upgrades and a new V6 engine. The updates included new front and rear fascias on the outside and more soft

touch materials throughout the interior. It also got new wheels plus changes to the suspension and steering.

The new V6 was a smoother and more powerful Pentastar 3.6-litre and it comes with a six-speed automatic that has a manual shift

Capital

mode feature. It’s also only available with the all-wheel drive additions of Journey.

No significant changes were made to the 2012 or 2013 model year editions of Journey.

Journey provides a comfortable ride on a highway

and a quiet passenger cabin, making it worthy of its name. While Journey gets excellent crash safety ratings, reliability certainly could be better. Electrical and brake issues are common and the recall list is a lengthy one.

That said, the Dodge Journey is still uunbeatable bang-for-the-buck. Offering good cargo and people space and great kid-friendly features, it’s easy to see why the Dodge Journey is a popular purchase with young families.

news _____________________________________________________________________ FRIDAY THE 13TH

Bad luck image for 13 digit reinforced through history I’ve always been a tad amused by folks who are nervous or upset by the number 13, finding the number somewhat foreboding.

There are a vast number of supposed explanations why 13 is unlucky, depending on your source of knowledge.

One of my all-time favourite journalist interviews was with a history/ancient studies professor discussing

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE Halloween. I marveled at the man’s passion and arcane knowledge almost as much as I was fascinated by his incredibly bushy and stereotypical ‘professorlike’ eyebrows.

In the course of our

conversation, he wandered into significant symbols and numbers, such as 13.

“The digit,” he lectured, “was contrived to be bad luck in ancient times due to its association with certain pagan rituals involving the sacrifice of the 13th member of a coven.

“While many speculate whether such action

should constitute bad luck or not, it certainly seemed like an unfortunate turn of events for the individual whose life was literally cut short,” he surmised.

Irrefutable logic, I suggest.

Regardless, this Friday 13 will certainly prove to be lucky for music fans wise enough to get themselves to the Bohemian Cafe.

Tonight, a variety of the Okanagan’s top musicians

are playing in support of their friend and guitar player Gord Brush, who is recovering from a recent stroke.

Brush and life/music partner Jane Eamon are well known in the Canadian music industry.

Leading the charge in the fundraisers is the Okanagan’s legendary roots band The Cruzeros.

Gord had his stroke on Christmas Day and is currently undergoing rehab. He is expected to

eventually make a full recovery but the healing may take many months.

All the best Gord and Jane. *** Happy Valentine’s wishes go out to many folks in Readerland, and especially to my personal heart-holder—Teresa.

I have no doubts that sharing her life with an unpredictable, off-thewall sort such as me is rather taxing, so I can only imagine adding the additional stress of the recent election not to mention my hospital stay.

Thanks for being their consistently Tez, and for maintaining a sense of humour throughout the journey. *** Speaking of winners, perhaps you know a few who deserve some recognition.

Nominations are now being accepted for candidates in the 40th annual Kelowna Civic Awards.

These awards are designed to acknowledge those in our community who make this a better place to live, work and play through their participation in volunteerism, the arts, school or work.

Award categories include the Sarah Donalda-Treadgold Memorial Woman of the Year, Fred Mackin Memorial Man of the Year, Young Male and Female Volunteer of the Year, Honour in the Arts, Volunteer Organization of the Year, Bob Giordano Memorial Award, and the Bryan Couling Memorial Award.

I had the pleasure of working with this committee for three years and know what a job it is to not only gather nominees, but to choose from the many wonderful candidates.

I encourage you to make a nomination for someone you know. Your participation is valued.

The awards gala event will be held Thursday, April 30, at the Kelowna Community Theatre.

Tickets go on sale March 16. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the awards presentation start at 7 p.m. Nominations are accepted online and by email, and by hardcopy at the Parkinson Recreation Centre. For more information on the civic awards or for sponsorship information,

please contact Amber Gilbert at 250-4698967 or email agilbert@ kelowna.ca. *** With spring weather threatening, it is also time to make sure and protect your family and pets from possible pesticide exposure.

Make sure and join the City of Kelowna’s pesticide notification registry. Sign up time runs from Feb. 12 to March 13.

“The annual registry is for Kelowna residents who wish to be informed when pesticide spraying occurs on residential properties adjacent to their own. This registry is valuable for those who wish to minimize their exposure to pesticides,” said Todd Cashin, Kelowna’s subdivision, agriculture and environment services manager.

“Since certified applicators are still able to apply chemical pesticides, this allows residents to have the option of knowing when spraying in their area is taking place.”

Registrants are notified by commercial spray operators on the day before or the same day as the pesticide is applied to abutting residential properties.

The registry notification does not cover pesticide application on agricultural properties.

Folks may register online at kelowna.ca/ environment.

Alternately, residents can register by calling the Commercial Pesticide Notification Registry Hotline at 250-469-8556.

Residents must sign up each year for the registry to be kept accurate and up to date. So those included in the 2014 registry must register again.

The city’s pesticide bylaw came into effect Jan. 1, 2009.

It restricts the use of cosmetic pesticides by homeowners on residential properties.

Pesticide applicators who are provincially certified can apply to be exempt from the bylaw.

Keeping You Moving BRENDA WALSH reach.

Body Rolling techniques combine the relaxing effects of massage with the toning effects of exercise.

Working with your own body weight, the exercises ease movement by loosening the muscles and their surrounding fascia, with the benefits of a deep self-massage.

It can take as little as 10 minutes to work a specific area, and you can do it at your convenience.

Working an entire region or chain of muscles gives the best results, since fascia is connected in long tracts that can span more than one joint.

The techniques of Body Rolling can: • free adhesions in the connective tissue sheath that wraps around muscles and lies between muscle

fibres • help muscles lengthen • improve muscle flexibility and tone thereby improving range of motion and shock absorption in the joints • improve circulation; and • assist in correction of faulty posture.

People with an active lifestyle often come in to see a physiotherapist with unexplained pain in a muscle, tendon or joint.

Physiotherapists look at posture, movement and perform selective tissue tension testing to determine the problem.

As a physiotherapist, I use many tools, such as manual therapy, exercise and soft tissue releases to improve freedom of movement.

With exercise that is highly repetitive in nature such as running, cycling, rowing, racquet sports, fascia surrounding the working muscles tends to be loaded in one direction and can subsequently shorten.

Movement patterns and normal posture can be altered, which can lead to injury and pain.

Learning to use Body Rolling, and stretching along planes of movement, rather than spot-treating tight areas can free things up most effectively.

People working at a desk job every day tend to develop shortening in certain muscle groups— typically the pectoral

muscles, the hip flexors, and the hamstring muscles. Over time, this can result in adaptive shortening.

The price tag of a desk job can be poor posture, aches and pains at the end of the workday.

Activity breaks and Body Rolling can help. *** Brenda Walsh, a physiotherapist at Sun City Physiotherapy, will be presenting a free workshop on Body Rolling techniques at Sun City’s Glenmore office Tuesday, Feb. 17.

Space and Myofit balls for trying the technique are limited, so please call 250-762-6313 to book early.

Some of the techniques require using the ball on the floor, so some shoulder strength is needed.

It is with profound sadness that the family of Philomena Reynolds shares the news of her death, February 9, 2015, at her home in Kelowna, wrapped in the love of her daughters. Phil was born in Castlebar, County Mayo, Ireland. She came to Prince Rupert in 1957, where she met Jim and became a proud Canadian. Phil adored music, strong coffee, politics, long walks with her dog, dancing, pickling beets, yard work, the Canucks and travelling, but her greatest joy was her family. We never doubted her faith in us, and we were blessed to have a mom with such a bright spark. By her example, Mom taught us the value of a generous spirit, volunteerism and hard work. Phil spent many years in White Rock, raising our family and helping run RJ Reynolds Land Surveying. Phil is predeceased by her husband, Jim, brothers, Michael and Tommy, and sisters, Peggy and Kay. She is survived by her beloved youngest brother, Frank (Kay), in Ireland and her sister Nora (John) in New York. She is also survived by her dearest friend, Jane Schoepps, nieces Terri and Kellie Rice, Vivian Stock (Riley), and several nieces and nephews abroad.

Mom will be ever missed by her daughters Susan Reynolds (Brian), Maeve Reynolds and Catherine Wallis, son-in-law Chris Wallis and her treasures, her cherished grandchildren, Thomas, Liam, Olivia and Daniel Wallis. A Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, Feb. 14th at 2:30 pm at St. Charles Garnier Parish, 3645 Benvoulin Road, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Canuck Place, in Phil’s namewww.canuckplace.org.

We wish to thank the kind nurses and care aides for providing comfort to our sweet Mom. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Katherine Brigitta Byland on February 7, 2015, surrounded by her loving family after a long battle with cancer.

She immigrated to Canada in 1949 with her younger sister Anna, arriving in Kelowna where she had family. She met Adrian Byland while working at a café and they married in 1956, starting a fledging business that would become Byland’s Nurseries. Katherine is survived by son John (Maria), daughter Anita Thorsen (Rico), grandchildren Michael, Melanie, Venessa and Jordan and sister Anna (Dennis) Brown. She was predeceased by her husband Adrian in 1982. The family would like to thank all the health care professionals that cared for Katherine especially the staff at Hospice House.

Donations in Katie’s memory can be made to the Central Okanagan Hospice Association – Hospice House, 2035 Ethel Street, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 2Z6.

Prayers will be recited on Friday, February 13, 2015 at 7 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road.

Tickets go on sale today, starting at 10 a.m., for the iconic rock band Aerosmith.

The original group members are all on board for this tour—Steven Tyler, Joe Perry, Brad Whitford, Tom Hamilton and Joey Kramer—which hasn’t been the case for some previous tours of the band in recent years due to medical issues and disagreements between Tyler and Perry.

While Aerosmith can boast of record sales topping 150 million, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, four Grammys, eight American Music Awards, six Billboard Awards and 12 MTV Video MusicAwards among the band’s many honours, the Aerosmith story is really one of survival.

Since the Boston band burst on the national scene with their classic rock staple hit Sweet Emotion in the early 1970s, Aerosmith has remained relevant musically all through the years since.

That, despite friction among the band

members and dealing with the bad side of rock ‘n roll success—drug abuse, particularly for Perry and Tyler.

Music From Another Dimension released in late 2012 is Aerosmith’s most recent album.

some of ballet’s best and brightest stars, in Canada, is such an amazing opportunity for us,” said Simone Orlando, Ballet Kelowna artistic director and CEO. Dancing since the age of six, Bouder first performed with NYCB in June 2000, was promoted to the rank of soloist in February 2004, and has been a celebrated principal dancer with the world-renowned company since January 2005.

In a true testament to ballet’s timeless athleticism and grace, signature excerpts from Don Quixote, Swan Lake, Agon and the Tchaikovsky Pas de Deux will be featured in the first act, appropriately named An Exposé on Ballet Style, with choreography by classical ballet legends Marius Petipa and George Balanchine.

The second act, featuring the groundbreaking Rouge et Noir, promises an unforgettable performance experience.

Choreographer Joshua Beamish was inspired to create the work after hearing Shostakovich’s Trio in E Minor for the first time. Costumes

by Council of Fashion Designer of America member B Michael are heavily influenced by a1939 collaboration between the composer and Henri Matisse for the Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo.

THEATRE Forever Plaid Until Feb. 28 Kelowna Actors Studio 1379 Ellis St. Kelowna The hilariously charming hit musical Forever Plaid will take you on a trip to Fiftiesville with Sparky, Jinx, Smudge and Frankie, a 1950s boy band.

“Forever Plaid is a musical for all ages to enjoy and experience together,” said Kelowna Actors Studio artistic director and choreographer, Randy Leslie.

“For many people this music will evoke fond memories of the 1950s and for others it will be like discovering this musical genre for the very first time.”

This critically acclaimed musical celebrating the precision harmonies and well-choreographed moves that were the epitome of 1950s traditional values, home and harmony, the uproariously entertaining Forever Plaid is filled with the nostalgic sounds of that era, performing such hits as “Catch a Falling Star,” “Three

Coins in the Fountain,” “Love Is a ManySplendored Thing” and “Magic Moments.”

Forever Plaid features a book by Stuart Ross, musical continuity supervision and arrangements by James Raitt.

The multi-talented cast of Forever Plaid will feature KAS alumnae who have portrayed some of the biggest iconic characters in musical theatre just last year— Darren Scuffi (Shrek; Shrek-The Musical) as Francis; Casey Easton (Fagin; Oliver) as Smudge; Mac Mackay, (Motel; Fiddler on the Roof) as Jinx; Nathan Flavel (Harold Hill; The Music Man) as Sparky.

The rest of the creative team behind the production includes music director Roslyn Frantz, scenic designers Casey Easton and Nathan Flavel, costume designer Hazel Rodgers, sound designer Jordan Leboe and stage manager Delphine Litke.

Showtimes are Wednesday to Sunday, 8 p.m. with dinner at 6:30 p.m., and Saturday matinees 1p.m.

Mt. Boucherie Secondary School Community Connection February 2015

Nutrient Rich Food Preparation Class at MBSS A paradigm shift is occurring from the production and consumption of highly processed ‘fake’ foods to that of live, nutrient rich “real’ foods.

Heightened nutritional awareness and making healthier food choices is part of the Food Studies 10 curriculum at Mount Boucherie Secondary School.

One of the assignments is for students to research a specific nutrient and then produce a brochure outlining key points such as its role in the human body, recommended daily intake, food sources, problems of deficiency + excess, etc. To augment this unit, Registered Holistic Nutritionist Sandra Butler spoke to one class.

She did a terrific job and a BIG thank you goes out to her from the MBSS Home Ec. Department and all of the students she reached. Here’s how she described her experience……….

“January, 2015 brought an invitation to me to provide a presentation on nutritionally rich food preparation to a Grade 10 class at Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary School. What a joy and delight to have been given this opportunity by Ms. Hazel Forry, Home Economics teacher extraordinaire.

When I was a young lady, around the age of the students I presented to the other day, I dreamed of being a teacher. I used to imagine myself in front of a classroom giving instruction. The class in my dreams was attentive and perfectly well behaved.

They asked intelligent questions and they provided interaction with each other and with me about the subject at hand, an ideal class for sure.

Many, many years later I developed an interest in nutrition as a result of increasing personal health concerns. I went back to school and obtained my certification as a Raw Food chef and later I received a diploma as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist.

My health improved tremendously so I began sharing my knowledge by giving food instruction classes to adults who were interested in learning about or finding some new approaches to preparing nutritionally rich foods. I love working with adults but I longed to be in a school class room environment, a place where I personally believe the knowledge of ‘real’ food begins. On January 13, Ms. Forry brought that vision and desire to fruition with her invitation and my acceptance.

The entire school from the minute I entered the doors of Mount Boucherie High with two large, heavy containers in tow was exemplary. Students and staff were genuinely helpful. My eyes bulged when I walked in the Foods Room. It is “state of the art” beautiful. There are six fully equipped kitchens in the room. What a delight for a nutritionist to lay eyes upon.

The Grade 10 class was ideal. They welcomed me and they listened intently as I waxed on and on about the nutritional value of the various ingredients as I demonstrated how to make a “green smoothie” followed with a menu of spaghetti made out of zucchini topped with a marinara sauce prepared in a food processor and also Kelp (sea vegetable) noodles topped with almond sauce. Does this sound a bit unorthodox? I believe the students thought so too but they were very willing to participate. The green smoothie was somewhat of a disaster for them.

I used my personal blender for the demonstration and added some coconut water in place of regular water. The smoothie I made turned out to be smooth and creamy and sweet tasting. The students used the smaller school blenders and regular tap water.

The end result for the students was a watery, lumpy green mixture. Needless to say the smoothies were

MBSS’s Maker / Engineering Course

Hairdressing Academy at MBSS employable to salons across the province, right out of high school.

“Maker” culture: a process of discovery through the engineering cycle.

It provides the opportunity to solve problems in everyday life and develop skills to further one’s ability to design well. their own personal projects; this gives the lessons more validity and a true connection to the world.

Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, James Dyson and Marie Currie all had one thing in common: they were inventors and innovators. For students that share that same spark, Mount Boucherie Secondary has a program to suit their interests that is based on this maker culture.

In its first year of existence at MBSS, the Maker / Engineering course in intended for students who are interested in creating their own product. The product must solve a current design problem in a creative and new way. Working with the teacher, Mr. Kramer, students work on a problem that is appropriate in scope for them. Through their work, students learn the required tool use and construction techniques as a natural part of the building process. These skills are developed on an ‘as needed’ basis and students learn the appropriate uses of these tools and machines as part of the development of

During the design process, students are tasked with developing a problem statement that addresses a particular problem of their choosing. Once they have completed this, students will embark on a process of research and development to create a working solution to the problem. Their completed project will be in direct relationship to the personal problem that the students have decided to solve.

Examples of projects that students have developed are: • Collapsible canoe • Bipod for hunting rifle • Intercom • Storage organizers At Mount Boucherie we are fortunate to have access to a wide variety of CNC (computer numeric controlled) machinery. This machinery has the benefit of allowing students with less practical skill the opportunity to create high-value products that are accurate and well

machined. This aspect of the program is vital as students have the opportunity to create functional, aesthetically pleasing products quickly and repeatedly. Some of the machinery that we have at our disposal includes: • 4 X 8 CNC Router • 4 X 8 CNC Plasma Cutter • 12” X 20” CNC Laser Engraver • 20” X 28” CNC Laser Engraver • 8” X 20” CNC Jewelry Router • 14” X 25” CNC Router • 5” X 5” X 5” 3D Printer • 8” X 6” X 8” 3D Printer • Investment Casting Materials for casting plastic parts into metal ones.

The School District has done a lot of work developing the “Attributes of a 21st Century Learner”.

We look for students to be Learners, Thinkers, Innovators, Collaborators, and Contributors. The Maker / Engineering course is an amazing example of all of these attributes. On any given day in Mr. Kramer’s class, students can be seen demonstrating all of these attributes in an extremely engaging and in-depth way.

If you know a student who has that spark to create and invent, perhaps the Maker / Engineering course is for them?

tasted but not entirely consumed. However, thanks to Ms. Forry’s quick thinking we turned the smoothie disaster into a teaching opportunity. The students were instructed that next time they could cut the ingredients up in smaller pieces, run the blender for a little longer and use nutritionally dense coconut water in place of regular water for better results. The proof was in the glass!

The rest of the demonstration and follow up presentation went very well. The students enjoyed making zucchini spaghetti with the vegetable slicers I provided. One student commented as he was returning for his third helping, “I didn’t think I was going to like this, but it’s all really good”.

I want to thank Ms. Forry, the Food 10 class of Mt. Boucherie High for the opportunity of introducing more nutritionally rich food choices to them and especially want to thank those who assisted me (Justice carried the big box back out to the lobby; Hannah and Paula did all of my dishes and cleaned up the big mess I made; several students asked some really good questions and gave some great answers to my questions, even the student who found out that his flippant answer of “you die” was ultimately the correct answer).

My experience in a classroom setting is one I would be happy to repeat. I feel that I have now ironed out a few glitches and polished my presentation for future class instruction on nutritionally rich foods.”

MBSS Hairdressing Academy graduate Breanna preparing a client for a fundraising fashion show at Mount Boucherie Secondary.

On any given school day, in the Mount Boucherie Secondary Hair Salon, you’ll find a group of students studying hair theory and working on practical skills on mannequin heads and salon clients. But, what you are actually seeing are students following their passions and working towards a fulfilling career in the hair industry. Each year, a cohort of grade 12 students is chosen to enter the Hairdressing Academy with the goal of having them complete the Industry Training Authority certification exam at the end of the program. This certification is recognized across B.C. and makes them

Students who excel in this program successfully combine hard work, dedication, artistic ability and high quality customer service skills. Students spend their days completing a combination of theoretical work, hands-on experiences in the classroom, and opportunities to complete work placements in local salons, which are arranged as part of the program and are completed on a weekly basis. Many students who have been successful in this program in past have gone on to begin their careers, often starting at salons that hosted them during their work placements.

The program also attempts to find other ways to get students exposed to the industry. There are often trips planned to attend large hair industry trade shows, where students can see exactly where their hard work can take them, and give them the ability to be inspired by some of the best in the business. Students always return from these trade shows with new ideas and an increased drive to become the best they can be. The students also participate in high profile events and fundraisers both in our school and throughout the community, giving

them a sense of community involvement.

The Central Okanagan School District has made it a priority to offer experiential learning opportunities that engage students in their passions and prepare them for successful future careers.

The Hairdressing Academy is a perfect example of that mindset. For students who love the hair and beauty industry, and have a passion to work in that industry, the Mount Boucherie Hairdressing Academy might just be what they are looking for.

Program shadow opportunities are available for students interested in spending a day experiencing the hairdressing program.

The academy is also, currently, accepting appointments for services from members of the community.

The costs for services are reasonable, and you would be helping our students develop as a hair stylist!

For more information, to arrange a program shadow, or to book an appointment, contact the Mount Boucherie Hairdressing Academy at (250)712-7040. The academy is also now on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/ mountboucheriehairdressingacademy. Check often for updates, photos and special offers!
