Dick and Margaret Wells have made the trek from Kelowna to Quebec City to support their hometown Rockets in the Memorial Cup.

Passion for Rockets leads to Quebec City Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Dick and Margaret Wells just can’t seem to get enough of their Kelowna Rockets.

Season ticket holders at Prospera Place for the last 12 years, the Kelowna couple made the journey 5,000 kilometres east to Quebec City this week for one

more fill of their beloved Western Hockey League team.

And while Dick’s sentiments rest with one team in particular, it’s the lure of the junior game in general that keeps him coming back.

“This is the best hockey you’re going to see in Canada, I think it’s superior to what you see in the NHL,” said Wells.

“I’d pay double to see the Rockets play. These boys are trying to establish a future and that shows with how hard they play on the ice. We really enjoy it.”

In addition to attending every home game with Dick, Margaret shows her support for the team with her baking talents. At every home game, she supplies cookies

for the Rockets players who aren’t in the lineup.

On occasion, she also sends batches of the delicious treats on the road for the entire team.

The nurturing Margaret estimates she bakes 1,200 cookies a season for her hometown boys.

ELECTRICAL RADIATION

Ok-Similkameen smart meter moratorium To the editor: Re: Regional District of OkanaganSimilkameen moratorium on smart meters I would like to congratulate and thank the board of the RDOS on passing the resolution asking for the cessation of the smart meter program. This district becomes the 61st municipal body in BC asking for caution regarding the installation of these potentially dangerous devices on homes.

The evidence provided by independent (non-industry affiliated) scientists is overwhelming, and has led to more than 200 experts submitting a petition to the United Nations asking for a similar cessation of the proliferation of wireless devices http://www. emfscientist.org/. These 200 scientists have performed more than 2000 peer reviewed studies showing that serious harmful effects are suffered after prolonged exposure to even low levels of microwave radiation. Certain groups are especially vulnerable—the unborn, children, and those with compromised immune systems.

Director Michael Brydon says that if what director Tom Siddon presented is correct then Health Canada is corrupt or incompetent.

He is right. A quick look at the recent review of Safety Code 6 Health Canada’s guideline for exposure to microwave radiation, will confirm this consensus by the scientific community http://www.cmaj.ca/ site/earlyreleases/7may15_scientists-decrycanadas-outdated-wi-fi-safety-rules.xhtml.

The process itself was mired in controversy.

The chair of the Royal Society Panel resigned after his conflicts of interests, taking money from the telecommunication industry, were exposed. Several other members of the panel have long-standing affiliation with the industry and other members have no expertise in the biological effects of wireless radiation.

Health Canada itself selected the studies to be reviewed, cherry picking those that supported the status quo while neglecting more than 150 recent studies, many of which explain causation. The Parliamentary

committee reviewing the Royal Panel’s report, chided Health Canada, accusing it of bias and incompetence.

The report has been criticized by many, including Dr. Lennart Hardell, a world renowned researcher on the topic who described Health Canada’s guideline as “a disaster to public health” and based on a scientific analysis “unwilling or not competent to make evaluation of the current literature.”

Yes, Brydon may have inadvertently hit on the crux of the matter. Even though he has no expertise relevant to the biological effects of exposure to microwave radiation he has summarized it well. Health Canada is corrupt and incompetent. This is its history— remember asbestos, lead, tobacco and now microwave radiation.

A shameful history that we must not allow to continue.

stroke. Is it possible that anyone can be so ignorant?

If they truly believe their dog is having ‘fun’ under these conditions, I have a suggestion for them. Try running a marathon during the hottest time of the day, barefoot, while being towed along with no opportunity to slow down or have a drink of water.

Where is their common sense? If dog owners cannot be trusted to care for their pets in a responsible manner then we need a bylaw that can be enforced to protect the animals. This type of behaviour is criminal and needs to be identified as such.

Wallin and Duffy were highly respected individuals when they were appointed; in fact, any party would have been proud to have them sit under their banner. However, as Mr. Harper has often stated, if any of his party members in Ottawa intend to misuse taxpayers’ dollars, you are not wanted in the Conservative Party—there’s the door!

As farmers, we knew for years the unaccountable Canadian Wheat Board was taking dollars off our bottom line, so thanks to Mr. Harper for keeping his promise to dismantle that bureaucracy that went so far as to put farmers in jail for selling their own grain. Small wonder the Prairie landscape is once again yellow—the colour of wheat.

To the editor: Last week at 2 p.m. in the afternoon with a temperature of 28 C, I witnessed a senseless act of animal abuse that needs to be addressed.

Sadly, it’s not the first nor will it be the last time that such a thing takes place—a young woman riding her bicycle with a black dog on a leash trying desperately to keep pace with her.

Had I not been traveling in the opposite direction, I would have stopped and asked how she could explain such cruel behaviour towards her pet. I can only hope the dog made it home before collapsing with heat

As for the CBC, with the new Accountability Act, which brought on transparency first and foremost, the CBC fought hard not to comply with these rules in spite of the $1.1 billion of taxpayers’ money they receive every year.

We can be proud to have a common sense, principled MP in RonCannan. Why would he vote for the Liberal Transparency Act, since the Accountability Act, already the law of the land, brings on transparency by its very nature?

Yes, we have a beautiful, well-managed country—a country most could only dream of. Let’s not gamble on the success we’ve experienced the last 10 years and be thankful to those who have made it so.

To the editor: “Accused pleads guilty to dangerous driving charge resulting from loss of control of a cement truck, after crashing into, and killing innocent lady on residential roadway.”

(Regina v. Abdolmalekpoor. New Westminster Recorder, May 20, 2015) He gets a $1000 fine.

Meanwhile, Kelowna dog owners call the pound for help to retrieve playful escaped puppy. Get a $300 fine, with a warning and lecture. Apparently the normal fine in such circumstance could be much more, particularly if the pet had scared wildlife in ventures into creek waters. Fines for unlicensed dogs in such circumstance are known to exceed $500.

Holy cow! I understand a little of crime and punishment, but what am I missing here?

Close-Up MEMORIAL CUP

Proud parents committed to cheering on their kids whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

There was never a second thought from Pam Bowey.

Even before the Kelowna Rockets defeated the Brandon Wheat Kings to win the WHL title earlier this month, making the trek from Winnipeg to Quebec City for the Memorial Cup was a foregone conclusion.

Pam’s son, Madison Bowey, is in his second season as the Rockets’ captain.

“I said I’m going to make it (to the Memorial Cup) this year no matter what I have to do, what arrangements I have to make,” Pam said this week from the stands at Colisee Pepsi.

“It’s the chance of a lifetime for Madison, and something I couldn’t miss.”

Pam Bowey is one of about 50 family members of Rockets’ players and coaches who are in Quebec City this week to support their loved ones, most of them sitting

within three rows of the ice surface at Coliseé Pepsi.

John Crickard has journeyed from Ontario, while Donna Maidment has ventured west to Quebec from her home in Newfoundland.

The two are the parents of Travis Crickard, one of the Rockets’ first-year assistant coaches.

“Unbelievable for us, but a great experience for him, of course,” John said of his son’s first trip to the Memorial Cup. “We’re excited for Travis but for the team, too. Dan (Lambert) has done such a great job mentoring Travis, he’s learned so much.”

Like so many concerned and protective hockey moms, Donna is

Justin Kirkland

much more comfortable watching her son coach than stop vulcanized rubber disks with his body.

After all, that career decision has earned Travis a trip to junior hockey’s grandest stage.

“He played as a goalie for many years and it was nerve wracking for me,” she said.

“I told him the other day, it was a lot better for

me to see him working as a coach.

“We’ve watched him all the way up, we’ve traveled a little and this has always been a big dream of his. So it’s wonderful to be here.”

Forward Justin Kirkland’s mom and dad, Malcolm and Mavis Kirkland, are here this week from Camrose, Alta., sharing in their son’s childhood dream.

“It’s huge for him and we’re just here to support him,” Malcolm Kirkland said.

“This is every little kid’s dream and if you enjoy hockey, this is where you want to find yourself. It’s a great week to be here, a nice place to hang out.

He’s just loving every minute of it.”

As an added bonus, the Kirklands have made this a full-fledged family vacation and are thoroughly enjoying the beauty and attractions Quebec City has to offer.

“It’s a nice place to be for the Memorial Cup,” Malcolm added.

“We’ve been touring for a few days, our

As for Pam Bowey, watching her son play in the Memorial Cup is yet another reward for the

commitment and work both Madison and his family have invested in hockey over the years.

“He’s had a great year, first the world juniors with Team Canada and now this, it’s unbelievable,” she said.

“It’s been a long road, but he’s done it and it’s all worthwhile, all worth going to the rink and putting in the time.

“It’s worth it to see the success and enjoyment they’re getting out of it.” @capnewsports.ca

‘The people here in Quebec are phenomenal, very polite and nice’ PASSION FROM A1 “About 100 dozen,” Margaret said with a smile. “This is our way of supporting them. The boys who aren’t playing, it’s nice to do something for them.”

While backing their Rockets at the Memorial Cup is the primary reason for the Wells’ visit, Dick

and Margaret are taking time to enjoy all Quebec City has to offer.

The Wells have found the people of La Belle Province to be nothing but gracious and welcoming.

“The people here in Quebec are phenomenal, very polite and nice,” Dick Wells said. “I can’t tell you the number of

people who have come up to Marg and I, we don’t know them, they’re kind of speaking a mixed language, and saying ‘We’re glad you’re here.’

Hey, we are too.”

Just a few rows away from Dick and Margaret Wells this week at Colisée Pepsi are another pair of diehard Rockets fans, Brian and Bea Yamaoka.

As for the Rockets’ one-win, two-loss start at the Memorial Cup, Brian remains confident in his team’s ability to deliver when the stakes are at their highest.

“The (Rockets) have got too good a team to keep them down and they’ve proven before

The Kelowna couple, who have been watching the Rockets since Prospera Place opened its doors in 1999, pulled the trip to Quebec together on rather short notice.

“We thought it was a good thing to tie a vacation into,” said Bea Yamaoka. “It was really last minute, to get away from work, get hotels

Kelowna loses H2O tap water quality crown Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews

Kelowna’s tap water is not the best in B.C. anymore, at least in the eyes–and mouths—of four expert water tasters.

This year, the number of entrants increased to 15 and included Kamloops, Nelson, Penticton, Harrison Hot Springs, Radium Hot Springs, Squamish and the water districts of Rutland, Clearbrook and Greater Vernon.

The four judges, dubbed “aqualiers,” included Paul Bowen, director of sustainable operations for Coca Cola and incoming president of the Water Environment Federation; Gene Koontz, incoming president of the American Water Works Association; Robert Haller, executive director of the Canadian Water and Wastewater Association; and Waterfront Wines executive chef Mark Filatow, who is also a sommelier.

Turning serious, he clarified his comment, saying he said the best water has no taste, colour or effervescence.

Following the first round where all the water was tasted, a second round of tasting was held to determine the winner.

Chilliwack’s director

of operations,Glen Macpherson, was on hand to accepted congratulations on the win, saying he was proud to see the quality of his community’s water recognized.

He said it comes from an aquifer on the south side of the City of Chilliwack.

So coming from the

This is not the first time Chilliwack’s water has been recognized for its quality.

Macpherson said in 1999, the city’s water was judges to be the best drinking water in the country.

Condoms to be distributed in one local high school Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

The Central Okanagan Board of Education has approved a pilot project aimed at handing out condoms to high school students in schools here.

The pilot project, proposed by Interior Health, called for as many as six high schools across the Interior Health region, including at least one here in the Central Okanagan, to take part in the project.

Back Pain Effectively Treated At Kelowna Clinic One third of the population suffers from chronic back pain, which impacts everything from quality of life to relationships and careers.

Why is chronic pain so difficult to treat? First, each painful episode creates inflammation and scar tissue. Scar tissue has only 70% the strength of normal tissue, making it prone to re-injury. Scar tissue is not flexible, so with every movement comes more inflammation and scar tissue, leading to recurrences of back pain. Second, scar tissue alters the functioning of surrounding joints, reducing the nutrition getting to the joints (a major contributor to disc degeneration and joint arthritis).

to live with it. I want you to know that there is hope, that there is a highly successful, evidence-based treatment for many types of chronic pain. It is being used increasingly by orthopedic surgeons to stabilize their patients’ conditions and create longer lasting results and it has been used as an adjunct in my office for the past five years with success rates of up to 91%.

This treatment is called Shockwave therapy (or ESWT) and while it was initially developed to break up kidney stones, it has been used for the past 20 years to effectively break up scar tissue, restore the function of the muscle and promote new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. It is effective on many conditions including (but not limited to) back, foot, and arm pain. Results are often experienced within a few visits; treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

In my practice, I see back, neck, and shoulder pain, lower back and sciatic pain, and post-surgical pain. It’s been there for months to years and many therapies have failed to relieve it because most therapies work best on recent injuries.

In the past, the Central Okanagan School district has refused to allow condom machines to be installed in area high schools, but that stance appears to have now, at least partially, changed.

Liddicoat has said Interior Health has had interest from school districts across the health region—which covers the southern and central B.C. Interior—about the pilot

project.

The Central Okanagan Board of Education voted to implement the program at one, as yet unnamed, high school in its jurisdiction.

It plans to consult local high schools and their parent advisory councils to determine which schools would be interested in participating in the pilot project.

STARBRIGHT CENTRE

Kelowna doctor given lifetime achievement award

For decades, he has helped countless children with special needs and their families in the Central Okanagan.

Next week, representatives of the British Columbia Association for Child Development and Intervention will visit Kelowna to present a lifetime achievement award to Dr. Cliff Henderson, current director and founding member of the Starbright Children’s Development Centre.

Since helping found the centre in 1966 in Kelowna, when it was then known as the Okanagan Neurological Association (and later the Central Okanagan Child Development Association), Henderson, the city’s first pediatrician, has been actively engaged in Starbright’s evolution and growth.

“This award is an extraordinary honour and you couldn’t ask for a more worthy recipient than Cliff,” declared Carol Meise, president of Starbright’s board of directors.

CN corridor court case awaits ruling Richard Rolke Black Press reporter

The fate of a proposed recreational trail between Coldstream and Kelowna is before the courts.

The Okanagan Indian Band’s request for an injunction to postpone Canadian National’s sale of the Commonage section of the rail corridor to local municipalities began Monday at B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver.

The ruling is expected to be handed down next Monday.

“Our lawyers presented a strong case for an injunction to Justice Myers,” said Chief Byron Louis. “Over the next two days we will hear from the other parties involved.”

The OKIB asserts that 22 kilometres of the rail line that runs through the Commonage reverted to reserve land when it ceased to be used for railway purposes and cannot be lawfully sold.

The Commonage Indian reserve was created in 1877 by the Joint Indian Reserve Commission, but the band says federal and provincial officials eliminated the reserve a decade later.

“Our case is distinguishable enough from other cases that we feel it deserves its own trial,” said Louis.

“If the sale is allowed to proceed, our options are

severely limited. That’s the crux of our irreparable harm argument.”

A meeting in Lake

Country last month included a presentation by the district outlining plans for the corridor,

including selling off surplus lands.

“Planning to carve up and sell off lands like

they did in 1893 isn’t acceptable to us,” said Louis. “Further attempts to regain what is rightfully

ours will only make us look like the bad guys, when we’re just trying to right a historical wrong.”

reGIonal Board HIGHlIGHts – may 2015 fire services review scope approved The Regional Board has approved the scope of a Service Review of the Regional District’s four paid-on-call fire departments in the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West Electoral Areas. The document outlines the areas that will be studied in the Fire Services review. 2015 was scheduled as the year that Fire Services would be reviewed as part of the regular five year cycle of all program service reviews approved by the Board in January 2014. Funding for this service review has been approved in the 2015 budget.

Tolko Industries Limited has applied to the ALC to remove just over one hectare of the property from the Land Reserve. Since 1957, various forestry companies have owned the property which has not been used for agricultural purposes and is currently zoned I3 Timber Processing and Manufacturing. support for Crown land disposition The Regional Board conditionally supports a referral application made to FrontCounter BC by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. The Ministry wants approval to transfer approximately 272-hectares of Crown land to the Westbank First Nation in recognition of an exchange of a portion of Reserve lands for a highway improvement project. The portion of Crown land affected is between and connects the existing Indian Reserves #11 and #12, south of Mission Creek.

Wildfire threatens B.C. homes and properties In a report released this week, B.C.’s Forest Practices Board warns that little progress has been made in protecting urban interface areas from catastrophic wildfire and we are all responsible.

In 2010, the board issued a report and recommendations to government and communities to address the risks of wildfire in urban interface areas.

This followup report finds that the work done in the past five years has not addressed the hazard in a meaningful way.

“In 2010 we said that both provincial and local governments need to support forest fuel reduction efforts and homeowners have to take responsibility and FireSmart their properties,” said board chair Tim Ryan.

“Less than 10 per cent of hazardous forest fuels have been treated—at enormous cost to government—and few property owners have taken the steps to protect themselves from wildfire.”

The 2015 wildfire season is off to an early start with the Little Bobtail Lake fire near Prince George threatening properties and the board is very concerned that British Columbians are not prepared for what could happen this summer.

“Government does not have the resources to respond to every wildfire and protect every community that is at risk,” said Ryan.

“The solution has to be in prevention

and readiness to withstand a wildfire.”

The report acknowledges that some excellent work has been done and the province has committed millions of dollars to the effort.

But the scale of the problem is so large, and the costs of treatment so high, that it’s merely a drop in the bucket.

“B.C. has been lucky it hasn’t had any catastrophic urban interface fires since Kelowna in 2003, but that has been luck and nothing more,” Ryan said.

“Today, Kelowna is an example of what communities can do to protect themselves.”

The report urges the public to take personal responsibility and ask local politicians and fire departments what the risks to their community are, to support the return of prescribed fire to reduce forest fuels, and to take simple steps to FireSmart their own properties.

The report also provides a number of suggestions to improve the situation.

The Forest Practices Board is B.C.’s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recommendations directly to the public and government.

The board investigates and reports on current forestry and range issues and makes recommendations for improvement to practices and legislation.

Stephen Harper A-OK by this letter writer To the editor: In response to other letters to the editor on Stephen Harper’s legacy on transparency.

LETTER OF THE WEEK I find there to be so much misinformation in the news media and with the general public concerning many issues, clouding people’s thinking as to what is really happening in Parliament in Ottawa.

First off, every ‘team’, be it in sports, business or politics, needs a strong, solid leader who has had some experience in leadership; is accountable, honest and transparent; has a common sense agenda; and is smart. One who does not simply follow the crowd (United Nations) but makes up his own mind as to what is the best route to take in each and every situation. Our prime minister has showed us he has these qualities.

One proof of this statement— Mr. Harper was hand-picked by Preston Manning as the economist he preferred to help advance his agenda of common sense, accountable government some years ago.

The first item on Mr. Harper’s agenda when he formed government was to bring into law the Accountability Act, bringing more transparency to Parliament.

This was desperately need as the former party in power, the Liberals, had been found to have funneled millions of taxpayers’ dollars (in cash so it could not be traced) to promote and keep the Liberal Party afloat—the Sponsorship Scandal.

The Gomery Commission that uncovered these wrong-doings also cost taxpayers millions.

As for the Senate, there are four senators facing charges— Mike Duffy, Pamela Wallin, Patrick Brazeau and don’t forget Mac Harb, the Liberal Senator who resigned the minute he was deemed to have done wrong.

Have your say on Central Okanagan roads People often ask me why I MLA’s Report decided to reenter public life, and one incident NORM usually comes LETNICK to mind— the death of a pedestrian standing at a Kelowna street corner waiting to cross the road. The incident may have happened 10 years ago, but it’s never far from my mind. It’s why the safety of my constituents is one of my highest priorities.

I was reflecting on this last week as I announced on behalf of Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone that our government will install concrete median barriers on approximately nine kilometres of Highway 97 between Kelowna and Lake Country. The total project budget is $2.5 million.

Work will begin later this month on phase one of the project, which will see concrete median barriers installed on Highway 97 from University Way to the north end of Duck Lake. This part of the project is

expected to be completed this summer.

Phase two of the safety improvements is in the early planning stages and will likely be completed in fall 2016. It will include median barriers continuing north along Highway 97 from Duck Lake to Commonwealth Road, as well as some additional access improvements. Once initial planning is complete, the proposed design will be brought forward for public consultation. I encourage everyone to take part in this process and share their thoughts and ideas.

Given the importance of Highway 97 to our region, I’m sure there will be plenty of input! It’s a key route for both travel and trade, connecting multiple communities and regions across the province. Highway 97 is the busiest route in the Interior and this particular stretch of road sees approximately 30,000 vehicles per day. With the population of the Okanagan region expected to grow rapidly over the next 10 years, it’s important that we invest in safety improvements and ensure infrastructure keeps pace.

The potential for a second crossing over Okanagan Lake is another option we’re exploring thanks to this growing population, and we want

New information that raised questions about public safety sent a restaurant rezoning application on agricultural land back to first reading Tuesday evening.

Hillcrest Farms was scheduled to have a public hearing in Kelowna council chambers to approve an amendment to zoning bylaws that would permit it to legalize an operating restaurant on the property.

However, the hearing was deferred when new information was brought forward about inadequate water pressure on the property to meet fire safety requirements.

Council voted to send the application back to first reading.

City staff will bring a report to council June 15 with information about current water pressure and fire suppression capacity on the property at 700 Highway 33 East.

“The deferral was done to give the applicant and staff adequate time to assess the new information and what the planning implications are for the commercial development on the property,” said Todd Cashin, subdivision, agriculture and environmental services manager.

Black Mountain Irrigation District informed the City of Kelowna on May 22 that the water flow in the area serving Hillcrest Farms does not currently meet fire flow requirements. Given this new information, the Kelowna Fire Department will be reviewing life safety requirements for the property.

City officials say they are continuing to work “cooperatively” with the applicant, owner Chancal Bal, to ensure the property meets proper safety and building code requirements.

The restaurant has been operating illegally, without a business licence, for the last three years. During that time, the city has taken measures to address the illegal operation.

The city took Bal to court where he was convicted on five charges related to the illegal operation of the restaurant, as well as failure to obtain the required permit for a large sign, which has since been removed, as well as not getting an occupancy permit for the restaurant or the proper permit for plumbing work.

In total, Ball was fined $8,000 by the court and has until the end of July to pay the fines, said Cashin.

Bal’s son, Sukpaul, in public comments since the issue returned to council earlier this month, has appeared to justify the family’s action concerning the restaurant by saying it’s not fair that wineries can have restaurants but farm operations, such as his family’s, cannot.

The Agricultural Land Commission has said the restaurant can operate on agricultural land but has expressed concern about the way the issue has been handled by the restaurant’s owners.

The city has said the original plans it was presented for what was to be built at the farm did no show the restaurant as it now exists.

Let the butterflies take wing Susan Steen Contributor

On July 12 at Falcon Ridge Farms, the Central Okanagan Hospice Association will host the third annual Butterfly Release.

The event runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., with monarch butterflies being released at approximately 11:30 a.m., depending upon the heat of the day.

The event will be sponsored by Bayshore Home Health; Artisto Gelato; Cheeky Monkey Media; Q103-1; Integra Tire; Valley First; Source Office Furnishings; RBC Dominion Securities, Kelowna branch.

Those in attendance will be able to enjoy a fun Kids Zone, cartoonist, balloon animals and loads of local entertainers who will ensure that everyone enjoys this three-hour event. Morning hosts Susan Knight and John Stone will be the MCs. Monarch butterflies, to honour a loved one, may be purchased for $30 by calling the COHA office at 250-763-5511 or by ordering on-line at hospicecoha.org.

Every butterfly will be released even if the purchaser is not able to attend. A keepsake card will be presented to the purchaser with their loved one’s name. A list of honourees will be printed in the program.

And don’t be disappointed, order your butterflies early: “What the caterpillar sees as the end of the world, the butterfly sees as the beginning” Susan Steen is the executive director of the Central Okanagan Hospice Association, located at 104-1456 St. Paul St. in downtown Kelowna.

For more information about the hospice or the Butterfly Release, call 250-763-5511.

I am blessed in so many ways, with several of the various rewards from such good fortune seeming to come in cycles.

One of the more enjoyable is the seasonal ritual of receiving a plethora of newly recorded CDs or records from musicians.

It took me a while to figure out why I hardly hear from any of my song writing/recording pals until May, June or July and then suddenly I’m back on the visit list.

Musicians tend to hibernate. Not in a lazy, over-fed bear way, but in a creative sense.

With cold wet weather and less gigs to play, many musicians head into their basement or recording studio and hide away for the winter recording and crafting their latest creations.

Early spring is then spent in the studio with some recording wizard making them sound even more brilliant.

Sometime around May or June, with luck, the long winters work has morphed into an actual physical sphere filled with

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE blood, sweat and tears.

Last week, it was long time friend Robby Schaefer who dropped his pride and joy in my mail box for a listen, and I am so very glad he did.

Always a highly respected guitar player well known and popular throughout the local music community, Robby’s hot off the press album is titled A Part of the Show.

After a first-listen, his album is one I will be playing on a regular basis.

The 11-song all original CD features Robby not only on guitar but also on vocals. Though clearly talented in both aspects, it seems that Robby’s quiet, unobtrusive mannerism has kept him somewhat shyly tucked away from the microphone on stages in the past.

Hopefully that will now change and we will see more of Mr. Schaefer up

front on a stage near you soon.

A fine example of Robby’s popularity in the music field is reflected in the various musicians who took part in his first CD project.

Leading the crew is Kelowna musical icon Jimmy LeGuilloux, who not only plays guitar and supplies plenty of vocals throughout, but also recorded and superbly engineered the entire album. Ian Smith masterfully supplies percussion with Scott Grant also playing drums on two tunes. Rich Priske rocks out the bass; piano and organ are tastefully contributed by the talented Vytas Sinkevicius, with organ and Wurlitzer supplied by Steve Soucy.

Smith and Gary Turlock provide additional vocals.

Schaefer will be announcing his CD release date soon and I recommend you take in the evening if you enjoy well written and played original rock plugged full of interesting and inspiring lyrics.

Well done, Robby. I am proud of you and Kelowna will be as well when they hear your creation. *** I am confident my mail box will be plugged soon by anther new CD release, this one from long-time buddy Barry Mathers.

Mathers and his extremely talented Dirt Road Opera band members are just finishing up what promises to be a stunningly brilliant album.

I was treated to three or four samples of the latest tunes crafted by Mathers last month and can hardly wait for the finished product…hint, hint. *** Before departing the musical realm, I must remind folks to plan on spending either July 24 or25 at the Kelowna Community Theatre to take in the opening shows of the rock musical theatrical production The Raft Of The Medusa.

Written and stage produced by the team of Randall Robinson and Pat Brown, this amazingly powerful and poignant musical play is destined for much bigger stages around the world. I guarantee it. *** As the Kelowna Rockets get ready for the Memorial Cup semifainl tonight, win, lose, or draw our Rockets have provided fans with a tremendous season of exciting top quality junior hockey.

The WHL championship winning year is a credit to both the players and the entire team staff,from doctors, trainers, and equipment members to coaches, managers and owner Bruce Hamilton.

Hamilton had the foresight to acquire Leon Draisaitl and Josh Morrissey in trades with Prince Albert and both players fully delivered on their potential.

While watching the Memorial Cup, my latest issue of the Hockey News arrived. The issue is entirely dedicated to a preview of the upcoming June junior draft.

Ironically, only four players from the four teams in this year’s Memorial Cup are ranked.

Kelowna forward Nick Merkley is the highest ranked draft eligible player, targeted as the 15th selection in the first round.

Rockets’ Merkley high on radar of NHL scouts

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

The consensus in hockey circles is that Kelowna Rockets’ forward Nick Merkley will be a first-round pick in this summer’s NHL entry draft.

The only question remaining is how high the Calgary native will go.

Based on NHL Central Scouting’s final season rankings, the 5-foot-11, 191-pound Merkley is the rated the 23rd best prospect among skaters in North America.

With close to 100 NHL scouts in Quebec City this week at the Memorial Cup, Merkley and every other eligible player on the four teams is undergoing one last perusal before the draft next month in Sunrise, Fla. “Obviously with so many scouts here, there’s a little pressure but I think you just put that away and play your game, you can’t really do much more than that,” said Merkley, 18, who led the Rockets with 90 points this season. “We’ve had a good playoff run and that’s helped a lot of the guys on our team. I think it’s been huge for me.”

Merkley is the highest ranked player of all players at this week’s tournament and, according NHL Central

Scouting’s Western Hockey League scout, his performance this week in Quebec is likely only to enhance his stock.

“Nick, he’s a highlyrated player for us, I saw him play a lot and he’s very consistent,” John Williams said. “Over time when you see him play, he always does something to help his team. He’s very smart, he has very good vision, makes plays in tight other players don’t.

“He’s a competitive kid that works at his game and he’s had a heck of a year. What he’s done here (Memorial Cup) will do nothing but help.”

NHL Central Scouting’s staff releases its rankings of top prospects twice each season—midterm and final—encompassing players in both North American and Europe.

Williams said the lists are complied from the subjective opinion of scouts and serve as a guideline and helpful tool for NHL teams to use when making their own decisions about players.

“Throughout the course of the year, we have scouts going to games, filing reports, and we meet throughout the season to rank the players in order,” Williams said. “Obviously there are going to be changes along the way, because our last list comes out at

“There are always guys who step up in the playoffs and shine and get noticed, and viceversa.”

Central Scouting paid particular attention to two other Rockets during the regular season— defenceman Devante Stephens and Joe Gatenby.

The 6-foot-1, 165-pound Stephens, who was rated 116th among 210 North American skaters, held Williams’ interest with his continued improvement during the 2014-15 campaign.

“What I’ve liked about him is how far he’s come during the course of the year,” Williams said. “He plays important minutes, on the penalty kill. His game has progressed throughout the year in terms of ice time, and his contribution to the team,

a guy who’s trending in the right direction.”

In Gatenby, Williams sees a poised and intelligent blue liner who should only get better with experience.

“What I liked especially during world junior time when they had two guys (Bowey and Morrissey) off at camp, I thought he really stepped it up,” Williams said. “He can really contribute and he’s a very smart player… another guy who is a smart, a steady player who helps you win hockey games.”

Ranked 174th, there is no guarantee the 6-foot, 177-pound Gatenby will have his named called at the NHL draft on June 27.

Still, even if he is chosen, the Kelowna product knows it’s just one more step towards his ultimate goal.

“It’s nice (to be ranked) it’s been my goal to play in the NHL some day, hopefully I’ll get drafted, I really want it,” Gatenby

said. “There’s still work to do regardless, whether I get drafted or not. It’s only the first step.”

Central Scouting lists 210 North American skaters in its rankings and another 140 from Europe.

So with just 210 picks to be made overall the entire draft, it’s clear dozens of players will be disappointed with the outcome. But as John Williams points out, being passed over on June 27 won’t necessarily mean the end of the pro dream for those players.

“The draft is just one step, guys realize it’s just another day,” Williams said. “You gotta keep working and getting better. Sometimes guys get drafted and don’t turn out, and sometimes guys that don’t like Tyler Johnson (Tampa Bay) become stars in the NHL. “There are always guys who slip through the cracks and that’s the reality of the game.”

Given all the possible scenarios, the Kelowna Rockets have no complaints about their position heading into the weekend at the Memorial Cup. Despite winning just once in three tries during the round robin, the Western Hockey League champs have a spot in tonight’s semifinal in Quebec City.

That leaves the Rockets just two wins shy of a national major junior championship.

“If you started the season and somebody said you had a chance to play in the semifinal at the Memorial Cup, I mean everyone would take it,” said Rockets’ defenseman Josh Morrissey. “It’s great spot, obviously we would have loved to be in Oshawa’s position (3-0) and win that last game, but we still have a good opportunity and it’s exciting.”

The Rockets are due to play the winner of last night’s tiebreaker between the host Quebec Remparts and the Rimouski Oceanic. A final score wasn’t available at Kelowna Capital News press time Thursday.

All three teams finished the round rob in at 1-2, but based on a goals-forand-against formula, the Rockets finished alone in second to earn the all-important bye to the semi, thereby avoiding having to play Thursday.

Lambert said. “It’s one of those things where we’re still alive, which is a positive thing and not having to play (Thursday) is positive as well.”

While their Quebec league opponents will be playing their third game in as many nights Friday, the Rockets will have had two full days off to prepare for their most crucial game of the 2015.

But regardless of how much more hockey their opponents will have played, the Rockets head coach said with so much at stake, nothing is going to come easy.

“I don’t think we need to concern ourselves with other teams because at this time of the year everybody is going to show up regardless,” said Lambert. “We need to show up ready to play and that’s our focus.”

Josh Morrissey backed up the thoughts of his head coach.

“All those teams, everyone’s in good shape this time of year, everyone’s battling and there’s so much adrenalin,” Morrissey said. “Maybe early in the season that would affect a team more than now, and even if they’re tired or banged up, once the adrenalin gets going, I’m sure their legs will feel just fine.”

The winner of tonight’s game will meet the unbeaten Oshawa Generals (3-0) in Sunday’s Memorial Cup final.

The iconic Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City.

Quebec City as alluring as ever Quebec City: It’s just as beautiful and captivating as I remember it. Maybe a little bit more.

In the 12 years since my last visit, Quebec City remains one of the most stunning and alluring cities I have been lucky enough to inhabit, if even just for a few days.

Between the history, culture, language and the joie de vivre of the Quebecois people, this is one stimulating and unique slice of the world.

Just a few hundreds steps from our hotel sits Old Quebec, one of the oldest European settlements in North America.

Dating back more than 400 years, it’s Canada’s cradle of architectural, cultural and religious history.

Largely surrounded by the Fortifications of Quebec—the only fortified military city north of Mexico—a walking tour is a must for anyone who appreciates raw and historical beauty.

From the Chateau Frontenac to Place Royale to the Notre Dame de Quebec Basilica to the Plains of Abraham to the narrow European-like streets, Canada’s past oozes from every nook and cranny of Old Quebec.

If you come, be sure to use your camera liberally. I found my memory bank is only capable of absorbing so much.

Then there’s the modern-day Ville de Quebec. There is a bustling spirit

and night life in this city of more than 700,000 that is unmatched anywhere in Canada—a point Montrealers may dispute, but no matter.

There also seems to be an open, friendly and gregarious nature in most Quebecers that is both endearing and infectious.

Even though this is their home, most m Quebec City folk I have met understand b why their provincial capital fascinates they masses and why people from all parts of M the world flock here to experience all it J has to offer.

Jennifer Roy, who grew up in Quebec B fl City and is fluent in both English and w French, is one of those people.

JUNIOR HOCKEY

Representatives from all four Washington Statebased Western Hockey League (WHL) member clubs (Everett Silvertips, Seattle Thunderbirds, Spokane Chiefs, and Tri-City Americans) and WHL Commissioner Ron Robison were in Olympia recently to witness the signing of Senate Bill 5893 by Governor of Washington Jay Inslee.

The legislation clarifies the status of WHL players as amateur athletes and non-employees. Governor Inslee’s final signing approval is the last step required for the legislation to become law in the State of Washington.

Previously approved by the bipartisan Senate and

House of Representatives, the legislation concerned the status of amateur athletes and, now law, ensures WHL players will not be treated or defined as employees in the State of Washington.

“On behalf of our Washington-based member clubs and the amateur hockey players who play, or aspire to play, in the top development league in North America, we wish to express our sincere gratitude to the Governor as well as the Senate and House of Representatives,” said WHL commissioner Ron Robison.

“This legislation not only confirms the

status of WHL players as amateur athletes,” Robison said, “but will allow our four Washington-based clubs to continue offering world class development and education opportunities, as they have been doing in the state for close to 40 years.

“We fully expect other jurisdictions in our region to adopt similar legislation as Washington and Saskatchewan have in order to ensure our teams are in a position to continue operating as they have for decades,” Robison added.

For further information about the legislation, vist the WHL’s website at www.whl.ca.

news _____________________________________________________________________ DRIVER SAFETY

Accountability proposal for accident-causing drivers “…I wonder how many drivers that injure someone in an accident follow up to understand how the injury may have effected that person. I’m left with an impression that ICBC keeps the person responsible out of that part of the loop so there is not accountability.”.

That is a direct quote from an e-mail by Tom, a regular reader of my column who has shown a keen interest in driver safety.

I can answer that question with confidence, even though communications between ICBC and the negligent drivers they represent are strictly confidential.

My confidence comes from having the opportunity to sit down across the table from

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT many offending drivers, look each of them in the eye, and ask what they know about my client’s injuries.

The opportunity arises in an “examination for discovery” where the offending driver is required to answer my questions after having sworn or affirmed to tell the truth.

I have questioned many offending drivers in this manner. Not one of them has had a clue about my client’s injuries.

I then ask if they have inquired.

Not one of them has even bothered to inquire.

Capital news 2 DAYS A WEEK NO WEEKENDS Kelowna North & Glenmore

In two back to back columns last summer, I proposed accountability for offending drivers.

My proposal: What about mirroring the IRP with an immediate removal of driving privileges for 90 days, impounding the offending vehicle and requiring the offender to participate in a ‘Responsible Driver Program?’

The injuries arising from such crashes can result in a lifetime of pain and functional limitations.

Do these consequences sound too harsh in that context?

Tom’s version of accountability, simply informing offending drivers about the destruction they have

caused to the life of another human being, might be more effective.

The vast majority of those who have caused motor vehicle crashes are no different from the rest of us.

We are all living within a driving culture of oblivion to the consequences of the multitude of collisions that occur all around us.

safety, does so little to bring about accountability of those offending drivers on whose behalf they pay out hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation for the results of the injuries those drivers cause.

The driving culture has to change. Accountability can be a significant step in the right direction.

Each of us needs the message, though, not

just those who have caused crashes. Most of those who have not caused crashes have simply been lucky that their inattention has not caught up to them.

How about an ICBC advertisement campaign about the true severity and often long lasting chronic pain impacts of whiplash injuries that, at the scene of a crash, are not even apparent?

Will we ever see that?

I don’t think so, because ICBC is in a conflict of interest when it comes to driver safety.

They settle more claims for less money by trying to convince everyone that soft tissue injuries are minor.

STEVE DOLINSKY

Travel

The Spring Point Ledge Light juts into the Atlantic at South Portland, smack dab in the heart of Maine’s lobster country.

Cruising Maine’s coast for lobster rolls Steve Dolinsky contributor

EASTPORT, Maine—A lobster claw the size of an iPhone 5 sits perched atop my lunch, completely obliterating any chance I have to see the quarterpound of chopped lobster meat, lightly dressed with mayo and tucked into a split-top hot dog bun that’s been ever-so-gently

griddled with butter on either side. The lobster roll at Quoddy Bay Lobster, an industrial-looking blue aluminum shack on the eastern lip of the United States, isn’t my first— you can find them now in seafood restaurants all over the country—but it’s certainly the freshest, most delicious version I’ve ever had.

“We feed people

the way we feed our fishermen at home,” said Sara Griffin, who runs the fishing co-op and restaurant with her family. That means no celery, drawn butter or lettuce but rather a bit of mayo to hold the roughly chopped claw, knuckle and tail meat together, topped with a fully intact, steamed claw. Quoddy Bay began as a Thursday-

only chowder joint eight seasons ago. Today the staff goes through about 100 pounds of live lobster every day in summer, about half that amount in the fall, all still dispensed through a carryout window.

The lobster roll was born in 1929 at Perry’s restaurant in Milford, Conn., according to “The Encyclopedia of American

Food and Drink.” Like many of the nation’s great sandwiches, it was born of necessity: How else to use up this prodigious native species?

Not everyone feels like tackling a 1{- to 2-pound lobster, plastic bib intact, metal shell cracker in one hand, tiny fork in the other. The lobster roll offers the pleasures of this naturally sweet

crustacean without getting your hands dirty.

While some fishing towns in New England have added melted butter, celery and lettuce along the way, Maine’s fishermen seem to adhere to a less-is-more ethos; mayo is fine, but even that’s considered sacrilege in some quarters of the Pine Tree State.

sCapital News Friday, May 29, 2015

travel ______________________________________________ LOBSTER FROM A26 Saco, Maine, and others who attended college at Bowdoin in Brunswick, Maine. I asked “Bizarre Foods” host Andrew Zimmern, whose parents retired in Maine and who visits every summer. I ate so much lobster that my doctor put odds on my gout returning with a vengeance.

The town of St. Andrews-by-the-Sea in New Brunswick is as bucolic as they get in the maritime provinces of Canada.

Known for whalewatching excursions and sea kayaking, several restaurants offer lobster rolls, and I was expecting the behemoths I had seen farther up the Bay of Fundy, near Nova Scotia, stacked sideways into hoagie rolls. Lobster is part of a $1 billion dollar fish and seafood industry in New Brunswick, yet the Lilliputian rolls at St. Andrews-by-the-Sea’s Clam Digger, a roadside joint where the fryers get a real workout, were dressed simply with lettuce and a few lemon wedges. OK, but nothing like the ones at Quoddy Bay. Sitting on wooden picnic tables as blue as the water just a few yards from where we were sitting, the vibe at Quoddy Bay is serene, with an occasional flurry of activity each time a boat is unloaded. In the warehouse next to the restaurant, a burly fisherman, sporting a beard and a Harley hat, lifted two enormous orange-and-blackspeckled specimens from a crate (lobsters turn red once they’re cooked), their claws flailing helplessly, already rubber-banded to prevent someone’s finger from being pinched.

The state is on a roll, boasting historic catches the last three years, according to the state Department of Marine Resources.

More than 120 million pounds were landed each year, supplying 85 per cent of the country’s fishmongers. That lobster roll you had last week in Chicago or Dallas or San Francisco? Chances are it came from Maine.

If the road to Quoddy Bay is a winding, twisting odyssey, the journey down U.S. Highway 1 is a meandering sojourn past antique shops and seafood shacks. We stopped in Ellsworth at the Union River Lobster Pot (not open for lunch), and passed on the

Lobster Shack at Two Lights: rolls barely dressed, topped with a dollop of mayo on one end, a pickle on the other and the top lightly dusted with paprika.

A good friend recommended Dolphin Marina in Harpswell, half an hour from where we were, but we were hungry after an hour or two of shopping at the L.L. Bean world headquarters in Freeport, so we drove 10 minutes toward the water.

Brendon Alterio sported a toothy grin and his daily uniform of a golf visor and T-shirt sporting the Harraseeket Lunch and Lobster logos. Alterio is built like a former

The business is in its 46th year, and the lines forming beneath the pinstriped awning each day reflect a loyalty that extends beyond state lines. The rolls begin with lobster that’s first boiled; professional “pickers” come in to separate the meat from the shells.

of Portland, in Cape Elizabeth. This is the ideal East Coast shack experience I had been dreaming of: located almost directly on the water, next to a Coast Guard house that blasts a fog horn every few minutes, it’s a cozy little home with 1960s wood paneling and a brief menu, heavy on whole lobsters, fried clams and lobster rolls (don’t forget the chowda).

Opened by James Leadbetter in 1969, back when lobster rolls were just $9—as opposed to the $15 version now— the rule has always been a 3-ounce sandwich consisting of tail, claw and knuckle. We sat on one of the dozen or so red picnic tables out front, just as the sun was setting, devouring our rolls—barely dressed, topped with a dollop of mayo on one end, a pickle on the other, the entire top layer lightly dusted with paprika— and just stared endlessly into the dark blue abyss of the Atlantic, inhaling the salty sea air, thinking how were we ever going to polish off that giant whoopee pie still sitting on the table.

A bit of mayo, some salt and pepper are all the seasoning they get.

Three-and-a-half ounces of barely dressed meat is stuffed into the butteredand-griddled Sunbeam buns that have a thin layer of green leaf lettuce at the bottom for added color and crunch.

“We keep it basic, so you get the true flavor of the meat,” Alterio said, echoing sentiments of his fellow fishermen. That philosophy, as simple as it is, results in about 500 lobster rolls a day during the summer.

Sitting beneath an enormous picture of a Kumamoto oyster at a wooden table in Portland’s hip India Street neighborhood, I couldn’t help but notice the enormous bar housing a granite slab jammed with ice and nine types of regional oysters. Eventide Oyster Co. is much more than an oyster bar. It has that rare menu, forcing impossible-to-decide dilemmas between creative, raw crudos, fullon lobster bakes and unctuous seafood stews.

The signature lobster roll, doused in a bit of brown butter and served in a puffy, split-top Asian bun, is certainly not traditional, but it’s also not to be missed.

For pure tradition, you can’t beat the Lobster Shack at Two Lights, about 10 minutes south

Research initiative underway to help tinnitus patients A Kelowna ears, nose and throat specialist has taken on the role of clinical investigator for a study on acute tinnitus involving patients from Alberta and B.C. Dr. Timothy Kramer, a practicing otolaryngologist in Kelowna for over 27 years, is at the helm of

this latest study about tinnitus, which is a ringing in the ears.

It can last a lifetime or for weeks or months at a time due to a head injury, exposure to sudden or very loud noise, such as an explosion or gunfire, a blow or slap to the head, or following an ear infection.

In addition to the persistent ringing, tinnitus may also take the form of a buzzing, hissing, pulsing, whistling, roaring, or various other sounds only heard by the affected individual in one or both ears.

Dr. Kramer is excited to participate in this study because over his years in

practice he has observed the devastating effects acute tinnitus can have on patients.

“The study is providing an opportunity to treat these patients, where there has been no treatment before,” said Kramer.

“I have been encouraged by the earlier

If part of the cochlea is damaged, leading to a malfunctioning of the hair cells, it will stop sending information along the auditory nerve to parts of the brain.

These areas of the brain will then actively

‘seek out’ signals from parts of the cochlea that still work, firing simultaneously instead of in a random pattern, causing an overload and leading to a ringing or buzzing in th e ear.

Kramer explains that this study is only for people who develop tinnitus in the last three months as a result of ear damage incident symptoms.

Kramer is collaborating with the Medical Arts Health Research Group to be one of only six centres in Canada invited to participate in this groundbreaking study.

“Although the treatment technique is not new, it has been used to treat Ménière’s disease, the application to acute tinnitus is new, and I’m pleased to be able to present this option to my patients,” said Kramer.

After patients are treated, they are followed carefully for three months and seven clinic visits. Because this is a randomized study, some patients (60 per cent) receive the study drug, while others (40 per cent) receive a placebo.

Because the study is ‘blinded,’ neither Kramer nor the patient knows whether they have received the drug or placebo. He describes his patients’ early experiences to be very positive.

In an effort to make this study more accessible to individuals with acute tinnitus who may wish to participate, Kramer has reached out to his otolaryngologist colleagues in the region to refer patients who report a recent tinnitus.

For more information on how to be screened for Kramer’s study, call The Medical Arts Health Research Group at 1-888490-4320 or visit the website HealthResearch. ca.

How often do you use your car?

Does it sit idle in the driveway more often than not?

What if you could have a car to use only on the days you need one?

Those thoughts are the premise behind the Okanagan Car Share Co-op. With car share programs taking off in larger cities around the world, starting one here in the Central Okanagan just made sense to Christian Brandt.

So in August 2013, Brandt launched the OGO Car Share Co-op.

“Initially we had two vehicles and 30 members but within the past year we’ve tripled to six vehicles and 150 members,” said Brandt.

Living in the Central Okanagan, where the weather is so conducive to cycling, more and more people are finding the expense of having a car sitting idle in their driveway to be a luxury they no longer want to pay for.

Others are making the decision to retire the second car from two-car

families and opt for an OGO membership to use the car share co-op.

Brandt is also seeing business organizations joining so their employees can use the cars to drive about town on work related errands instead of purchasing a company vehicle.

“Some people join if their car breaks down or if they’ve moved downtown and realize they just don’t need a car every day,” said Brandt, noting that if your car is sitting idle 90 per cent of the time, it’s costing a lot of money for nothing.

Thanks to a grant received from the Central Okanagan Foundation, the Okanagan Car Share Co-op was able to offer OGO memberships to eight low-income individuals.

“Transportation, or access to it, has been listed as one of the barriers faced by lowincome people,” noted Brandt.

As such, the memberships provided by COF have helped people get to job interviews, move furniture and provided a much needed support system.

“We were also,

through the COF grant, able to give memberships to two community organizations,” Brandt said.

“For the Okanagan Fruit Tree Project, having access to a truck meant they could pick more fruit that would have otherwise gone to waste, and get it to organizations in need.

It had such an amazing trickle-down effect,” said Brandt. “It’s amazing how far one membership can spread something good through the community.”

The OGO cars are always parked in designated spots for pick it up and drop it off.

There’s an applike platform to make bookings on your phone or online. “Even if someone is out and about, if they’re standing next to a car and wondering if it’s available, they can check using their phone.”

Every member is given a key fob that can access the vehicles once their booking is completed.

Membership can come in the form of a casual member or a shareholder in the co-op. For those who only want to use it for a short time, they can

Those who would like to join the co-op, can purchase a $500 share, which is redeemable upon their quitting the co-op, then pay the usage fee for when they’re in the vehicle.

The usage fee includes gas and if you find the tank at 1/4 or less full, then simply use the gas card to fill it up. The driver is charged both a per-hour fee as well as a per-kilometer fee, which lowers after the first 50 kilometres.

Brandt says the fleet of cars is ever expanding.

With this welcome rain, gardens are flourishing and so are weeds.

Weeds compete with your plants for available moisture. This becomes critical during dry periods.

If you mulched all the bare soil in your gardens, as I wrote about last week, you will have far fewer weeds than an unmulched garden and they will be easier to pull out.

The smaller the weed is when you pull it, the easier it is to remove.

This is especially true with tree seedlings.

Gardening with nature GWEN STEELE There are three drought tolerant weed trees common to the valley.

Because they survive without supplemental water, they grow almost anywhere.

Their adaptation to drought is to rapidly grow a deep tap root.

Russian/Siberian Elm,

Tree of Heaven, and Russian Olive are all invading our natural landscapes.

In urban areas they seed into cracks in the pavement or sidewalks, against foundations and on vacant land.

In gardens they hide in plants and hedges, often going unnoticed or ignored.

All have a very deep root, even when small and they develop in

awkward places, making them extremely difficult to remove.

They are deciduous trees so if you cut them down and do not remove all the roots, they simply re-sprout.

Other tree seedlings, such as maples, can cause similar problems in gardens.

Learn to identify and watch out for small tree seedlings. With moisture there is always a high germination rate.

Weed now to conserve water and time

Morning glory weed (field bindweed) is currently blooming in many lawns and gardens. This noxious weed has an extensive, deep root system that makes it difficult to completely remove. morning glory weed into your compost.

If in doubt, do not put weeds into your compost.

Generally it doesn’t get hot enough to kill seeds and roots.

When a garden plant becomes entangled with weed roots such as quack grass or morning glory, it is best to dig the plant out, discard it in the green bin and clear the area of weed roots before replanting.

Once a badly infested area is cleared of weeds, it’s wise to leave it empty for awhile to make sure you got all the weeds.

Alternatively, plant annuals so you can

thoroughly dig over the area again at season’s end before putting in permanent plants the next year.

If you are unsure if something is a weed, ask an experienced gardener.

The Regional District Office now has copies of a useful booklet from the Ministry of Agriculture: ‘Field Guide to Noxious Weeds and Other Selected Invasive Plants of British Columbia’.

are adults and the journey, or more likely commute, is long. It’s essentially a car for a couple and maybe one genetic unit but once that family grows then the CX-5 will appear on the family shopping list. That said, it’s a comfy ride in all seating positions.

The rear cargo area is wonderful with rear seats flattened but limited otherwise. It’s probably fine –though for this car’s intended use and perfectly adequate for the weekly Big Shop.

“Upscale” is a word rarely used when describing the fit, finish and looks of a compact car’s interior but it fits here. The lines flow pleasingly throughout and the use of red and metallic accents coupled with upmarket stitching is simply classy.

The basic ingredients aren’t so basic even in the base model! – Standard equipment includes cloth seats, split-folding rear bench, push-button start, rear view camera and Mazda Connect infotainment system.

The more deluxe models add nicer materials, offering premium safety and audio technology.

The Front Wheel Drive version could be a good urban choice but I think Canadians will opt for the AWD CX-3. The fuel economy numbers are not dramatically different between the two options – 7.6 L/100km (FWD) 8.1 L/100km (AWD), combined city/highway.

The CX-3 should arrive in local dealerships any day now. Prices have just been released.

The base GX FWD starts at $20,695, the AWD version adds two grand to the sticker price, and that is also the base price for the GS. The GT starts at a hefty $28,995 and rises to $30,495. Take a long look at the GS versions.

2011 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited.

CONTRIBUTED

Jeep Unlimited in name only

By Bob McHugh In 2007, Jeep introduced a new longer wheelbase, 4-door version of its iconic “Wrangler” utility vehicle that it called “Wrangler Unlimited”.

It must have been a “why didn’t we think of this before?” moment for the Jeep organization, as Wrangler Unlimited quickly widened the market appeal of this outstanding off-road vehicle.

Yes, a longer wheelbase sacrifices a degree of agility, but adds much needed interior space and utility.

The stretched body not only allows Wrangler Unlimited to tote more people and/or stuff around, the rear seat is mounted ahead of the rear axle, which gives rear passengers a less bumpy ride.

When the seats are folded, they present a completely flat extended cargo floor and 2,353-litres of storage space.

Fast-forward to the 2011 model year and Wrangler Unlimited may still look the same on the outside but it

came with an all-new interior. Heated seats, climate control, new audio inputs, Bluetooth connectivity, power-heated side mirrors and a 115-volt electrical outlet, make roughing it outdoors just a tad more comfortable.

Wrangler Unlimited is the only four-door convertible currently on the market and its standard Sunrider soft top has a clever sunroof feature, in addition to a full top-down position. Classic Jeep features include its round headlights, a flat fold-down windshield, exposed door hinges and doors that are easy to re-

There are two Targa-like removable roof panels up front and a larger panel over the rear seats.

Wrangler Unlimited originally came with a torque-rich 3.8-litre V6 coupled either to a sixspeed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic.

It’s not a light vehicle and tips the scales at a robust 1896 kg (4180 lb), so gas consumption is also heavy.

Expect gas consumption at 15.6/11.8 L/100 km (city/ highway - new five-cycle rating) with the automatic transmission. So, to provide its wilderness-wandering customers the extended driving range they expect,

The Cadillac of crossovers

A few years ago, I downloaded an extensive playlist of Cadillac tunes to take to a Cadillac driving event.

It wasn’t hard to do because there’s no shortage of those songs out there, with lyrics voicing Cadillac dreams to the backbeat of country, rock or even rap

music.

For all the success of Lexus and other modern import luxury brands, Cadillac has always somehow captured the imagination of popular culture, whether we’re talking about the iconic tail fin traditions of Eldorados and Coupe de Villes or the more recent hip hop history of overtly massive, pimpedout Escalades.

The Cadillac SRX five-door, five-passenger midsize luxury crossover tested here may not seem representative of that kind of iconic

Fuel economy for our AWD version is rated at 14.8/10.4L/100km (city/ hwy). My real world results after about 500 km of mixed driving worked out to 14.6L/100km (comb) on regular octane gas.

imagery, even with a few classic cues throw in. But it has a quality that makes it no less important to the brand.

It is, by far, the best-selling Cadillac in the lineup, outselling every other model in Canada and the U.S. First introduced in a more wagon-like form in 2004, tweaked for a 2010 second generation with stronger styling lines, shorter overhangs and a more aggressive SUV-like road presence, relieved of problematic powertrains with a new direct injection 3.6-litre V6 in 2012, and still holding on today, the SRX is now one of the oldest vehicles in the Cadillac stable. But it is remains the bread and butter mainstay of the lineup.

And no wonder.

Cadillac customers looking for anything but a car have only two choices - the full-size Escalade SUV (starting at $84,095) or the SRX (starting at $41,330), offering a compromise size at about half the price.

The SRX “face” starts with the signature Cadillac shield grille, bracketed on either side by tall, vertical headlamp assemblies. The side profile’s most striking feature is the indented body shape, courtesy of two strong character lines that sweep from the gill slit along the door handles up top and along door bottoms below.

That concave body indent, a design element similar to the trick work of the BMW X5 and Dodge Charger, gives the SRX a leaner, athletic style. Somehow that look always brings to mind the sunken cheeks of a supermodel.

In back, tall tail lamps culminate in protruding points aimed squarely at the past, a nice tie in to the tail fins of another era. Harley Earl would be proud. The disco-style LED light pipes that have become “de rigeur” for all vehicles these days accent the front and rear lighting assemblies, even

Jeep 4-door attracts buyers from page 3

Jeep fits an Unlimited with an extra large (85-litre) gas tank.

The base Sport and Sahara trim levels came with a second-generation Command-Trac part-time fourwheel-drive, with a twospeed transfer case and a 2.72:1 low-range gear ratio.

A Trac-Lok limited-slip rear differential was optional.

Aimed at serious out-door enthusiasts, the Rubicon edition is probably more Jeep than most buyers need. This off-road-ready machine comes with beefier suspension and steering components, protective skid plates, a roll cage and higher ground clearance. It also has an Off-Road Rock-Trac two-speed transfer case, a 4.0:1 low-range gear ratio, electric front- and rear-axle lockers and an electronic sway bar disconnect.

The 2012 Wrangler Unlimited got a new 3.6 litre V6 engine and a 5-speed automatic transmission. Power output and fuel economy, however, are both roughly the same as the 3.8 litre

V6 / four-speed automatic combo they replaced. No significant changes were made to Wrangler Unlimited for its 2013 or 2014 model years.

A champion of the unpaved path, Jeep Wrangler Unlimited allows owners to pack more gear and share their outdoor adventure.

2012 /2013: The power steering return line may wear against the automatic transmission oil cooler line, causing a transmission fluid leak. Dealers will either add a protective sleeve or replace the transmission line.

2011: A missing or incorrectly installed steering column pivot rivet may not perform as intended in a

built on a new platform and probably also powered by either a turbo four-cylinder and/or a naturally-aspirated six-cylinder engine, both motors mated to a future nine-speed automatic.

And there’s talk of a possible third row option too. GM will probably move production from Mexico to the former Saturn plant in Spring Hill, Tennessee.

We might learn more by November’s LA Auto Show but Cadillac does need to make some moves to stay current with competitors like the Lexus RX, Mercedes M-Class, BMW X3, Lincoln MKC and Audi Q5.

But, then again, there isn’t all that much pressure on Cadillac.

The current 2015 SRX is still selling at a brisk pace, recently helping Cadillac set a best-ever Canadian sales record for the month of April 2015.

What’s Best: Unique Cadillac styling in a busy mid-size luxury crossover segment.

What’s Worst: Fuel economy, heavy steering.

What’s Interesting: The unknown future of SRX with rumours of a new XT5 replacement, a new platform, new engines and a new nine-speed transmission.

Mediterranean sound celebrated by ‘guitar master’

Greek guitarist Pavlo returns to Kelowna later this year for a concert at Kelowna Community Theatre.

Tickets go on sale today, 10 a.m., for the return of Mediterranean guitar instrumentalist Pavlo.

Pavlo is described as a “Guitar Master” whose gift for original melodies is in equal measure to his genius ability to fully engage any audience.

From independently growing his own musical genre, he calls “Mediterranean Music,” Pavlo’s style has attracted the respect of Gordon Lightfoot; Moses Znaimer; Julio Iglesias; R Kelly; Jay Z; even Prince Charles.

Meticulously weaving world instruments with a classic Mediterranean guitar sound, Pavlo has developed a style that is uniquely his own and has audiences raving.

Pavlo, was raised in Toronto within a supportive and lively Greek family whose motto was: “Have the courage to do what you love; and the drive to do it well.”

As an independent

artist, he lives by those words. While he has earned great respect within the music industry, Pavlo continues his life’s ambition—to share the gift and enjoyment of music far and wide, without borders or barriers.

After his successful PBS Special, “Pavlo: Mediterranean Nights,” his next project was to develop his own ‘Pavlo Signature Series’ guitar for mass production.

Pavlo soon became famously known for

Tim’s win at the 30th annual International Blues Challenge (in Memphis 2014) as Best Solo or Duo, and Best Guitarist (solo or duo), are just the latest accolades in a career entering its fifth decade.

Williams brings to the stage a blend of passionate, gritty vocals and awe-inspiring chops on a number of instruments (including finger-style and slide guitar, mandolin and Hawaiian guitar among others) along with his wry sense of humour and deep knowledge of blues and roots music.

His career began in the coffee houses of Southern California in the mid-1960s and continues today around the world from his home base in Calgary.

Local musicians Gaill and Karl Hourigan, who will open the show, are the core writing team at the heart of The Malarkeys, a popular Celtic folk rock band from Kelowna.

Stepping out on their own as a duo, the Hourigans will have the chance to highlight more of their original songs, dive into old and new songs by other artists and explore different musical genres.

Hart House Art Collection tells the story of Canadian art Don’t think of this Hart House Art Collection exhibition as having to take a spoonful of badtasting medicine in the form of a dry history lesson.

Far from that. It is a sheer visual pleasure and pure delight to see.

Forty-one paintings by artists who were members of the Group of Seven and their colleagues, including several women artists whose works have never been exhibited in Kelowna, are now on view.

This is traditional pure painting at its best. The time period covered is from 1920 to the 1950s, with many works from the Depression era.

The 1930s formed a pivotal time for Canadian art, when artists turned away from depicting the wilderness landscape and began exploring social and political content in their work.

The paintings are

On View LIZ WYLIE installed in the order in which they were purchased by Hart House—a student recreational and cultural centre at the University of Toronto.

Therefore, a viewer has a more-or-less chronological sweep of works by important artists working through these decades.

Some highlights to watch for include the fullsized landscape work by Group of Seven member Arthur Lismer called Isles of Spruce, which is shown with its on-site oil sketch right beside it.

This gives viewers the rare opportunity to look at the small oil-onpanel work painted while out in the woods (often from the vantage point

of being seated in a canoe) and compare it to the much larger studio version the artist completed back in Toronto.

Some people prefer the spontaneous and loose quality of the small sketches, others like the drama and compelling large scale of the finished paintings.

At the south end of the room is a beautiful and mysterious work painted almost all in greens by Group of Seven member Frederick Varley during the time he lived in Vancouver and environs.

Open Window was painted in the mid 1930s when Varley was living in a shack at the canyon near Lynn Valley, north of Vancouver.

The angled slats of the window frame lead the eye into the picture, where an infinite water and landscape is rendered in such a way that the

water and land blend together and move upwards to the snowy tops of the coastal mountains.

Varley was exploring transcendentalism at the time and this work is a perfect and beautiful signpost of his journey toward spiritual enlightenment.

Another riveting painting is Dark Girl, painted by Montrealbased artist Prudence in 1935.

The woman portrayed is a black servant, stripped naked and shown seated among Canadian sumac branches.

It is a powerful and haunting work and raises troubling issues of race relations, the power balance in the artist/ model relationship, and the controversial aspects of nudity in art.

The Group of Seven and their artist peers were involved in building

Curated by independent curator Christine Boyanoski, A Story of Canadian Art was organized and circulated by the Justina M. Barnicke Gallery (Hart House, University of Toronto, Canada). The exhibition was financially supported by the Museums Assistance Program of the Department of Canadian Heritage.

The show will remain on view at the Kelowna Art Gallery until July 19, 2015.

JOHN LIND KRISTENSEN

August 26, 1935 – May 24, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Dad. He lived life to the fullest and left this world exactly as he had hoped to by not waking up from his afternoon nap. Our Dad was a man that you could trust to keep his promises, a man that treated everyone as he would want to be treated, a man quick to laugh, a man who loved life and people.

Dad immigrated from Denmark at the age of 22 with his family and his bride of 3 weeks, Eva, to Calgary. From his humble beginnings as a brick-layer speaking no English, he started one of the largest commercial construction companies in Calgary, Can West Masonry. He decided to move the family to Westbank to enjoy the better weather. After a short retirement to enjoy flying his model planes and fishing, he bought and ran Lumber Town. After selling that and another short retirement, he started Prestige Homes building spec homes. Dad went on to manage Westpass Construction and son Ian joined and eventually Ian went on to apprentice in their cabinet shop. When Dad left, he started Supreme Homes and built mostly custom homes. Son John joined as a labourer and through being mentored by Dad, John eventually became appointed as President of the company.

Dad also helped Ian start Genini Mfg by becoming his partner. When son John had the idea of building and running Friends Pub, Dad and John jumped into business together. When John bought Dad out, Dad became fully retired and devoted all his time to building and flying his model air planes. After 44 years of marriage, Eva finally lost her long battle to cancer and John met his friend and companion Olga. He bought a home in Arizona and they enjoyed the winters there flying his model RC planes and the summers in Westbank flying some more!

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday June 6, 1:30-4:00 at Friends Pub, 2210 Boucherie Rd at Hwy 97. After a video presentation and a few speeches, light refreshments will be served. All are welcome to attend. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society gratefully accepted.

You were a great role model Dad and you will be deeply missed. Love from Cathy (Ken, grandchildren Eva, Braedon, Gavin), John, Ian (Kathy, granddaughter Hanna), companion Olga, brother Henrik (Judy) and sister Else.

Wednesday, June 24, 2015 at 5pm at 442 Leon Ave. If you have any questions please contact the Ki-Low-Na Friendship Society at 250-763-4905. * All members please contact KFS and update current mailing address.

Miles began his career in construction with his father and brother in 1978. During this time he also co-owned and operated a chain of drapery stores with his family. In 1986 he combined his love for food and passion for cooking to launch a sophisticated production facility for his highly successful line of salad dressings. In 2001 Miles moved his family and Meadow Ridge Homes operations to Kelowna where he continued the family legacy of building quality custom homes. With Miles’s attention to detail and his drive for perfection, Meadow Ridge soon became one of Kelowna’s premier award winning homebuilders.

Miles’s passion was his business but his heart was always with family and friends. It was said upon his passing that Miles lived a 100-year life in his short 56 years on this earth. Miles was a proud father, devoted family man, a trusted and loyal friend to all, the original “foodie” and a world-class martini maker.

A celebration of Miles’s life will be held at 1PM, June 1st at the Evangel Church 3261 Gordon Drive Kelowna BC. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you please give generously to the BC Cancer Foundation at bccancerfoundation.com.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.

École KLO Middle School Attitude Is Everything

Community Connection May 2015

The KLO-Veendam Student exchange took place from April 29th until May 9th. We travelled with a delegation from Kelowna, which included Mayor Basran and his wife Leanne, School Trustee Julia Fraser and her husband James, WWII Veterans Martin Cole and Dick Gunoff, Colonel (retired) Doug Walton, Kelowna-Veendam Sister City Association members, and other members of our community.

In 2011, a delegation from Veendam, the Netherlands visited Kelowna to celebrate the BC Dragoon’s Centennial. Representatives from Winkler Prins accompanied this delegation, and a Sister School Relationship was formed between KLO Middle School and Winkler Prins School.

Twenty KLO students were accompanied by their English teacher, Deborah Holmes and chaperones Brian Street (retired school teacher) and Dr. Barry Sullivan. Planning for this trip began in May of 2013, when students were in Grade 7. KLO students were billeted with Winkler Prins families, and are looking forward to the Winkler Prins students’ reciprocal visit to Kelowna in April, 2016.

Why We Should Continue This Trip International exchange is such an important asset to our community, although it is not always realized as such.

It is so important to support trips like these, because these experiences discourage prejudice and lay foundations for good friendships between different cities. Even though it is not always done consciously, our culture pushes out certain ideas about different cultures through media and common opinion. When you travel overseas, you see culture and nation the way they really are, rather than sticking to your own preconceived ideas. Also, it is vital to keep alive the relationships that were started by the people who came before us. By remembering history, commendable and ugly, we know what to avoid, as well as what to continue doing. Historical events teach us so much, and like a line quoted many times throughout our Veendam trip states, “If you close your eyes to the past, you are blind to the future.”

“Should we support international exchange?” seems like a rhetorical question to me, personally. These trips bring understanding to our community, remind us not to disregard our past, and lays strong foundations for our future.

One of my favourite parts of the Netherlands trip was the “selfie” bike quest. One of our mornings in beautiful Veendam was spent biking around the town, while our Dutch hosts showed us landmarks and places important to them, in the past and present. That morning, we passed by glistening dikes and lush trees over cobblestone, seeing places like the local swim club, the many schools, and the shopping center. This was so much more meaningful than a simple town tour, because you could see that these stops were places of importance to our hosts.

You felt almost as if you were riding through the storybook pages of these student’s lives; each page showing you another aspect of your Dutch twin. I found that it was a very effective way to learn about someone in a relatively short period of time. One thing that this quest really did show me was the importance that the Netherlands places on clean transportation: namely, biking. In the Netherlands, this is a way of life; the normal routine, as opposed to Kelowna’s majority of transportation by car. Seeing the differences between the two cities up close was really an enjoyable experience, as well as a surprising opportunity for learning. - Helena At such an influential time in our lives, to experience an opportunity such as this was extremely beneficial. When we went to the Westerbork Concentration Camp almost immediately I was in tears. Driving by each post that stated how many people were hauled out to their death in trains, I was baffled; almost 107,000 innocent lives lost. Being up that close to where they sauffered it was so realistic; I could feel like I was actually there during the time.

It was if they were pulling at the collar of my neck for their voices to be heard, their stories to be told, yet I couldn’t understand. I wanted to help, undo the past, the expression of horror seared in my mind. I had never experienced an emotion such as that in my life. It was not containable. Reflecting on the pain I felt for them during that time, I realized how much I take my freedom for granted. How fortunate I am. I was absolutely astonished to how oblivious I have been; I felt truly terrible. That’s why I know it’s important that we continue to this student exchange program. So that past sacrifices are not forgotten. So that what should have never happened in the first place does not happen again. - Taylor

Left to right, Mayor Basran, Winkler Prins Director Vinke, School Board Trustee Julia Fraser and Chaperone Brian Street

“It’s important to keep the bond between our two cities, even more so not that our veterans will not be making the trip to Veendam in the future. I feel that we must continue to remember and be grateful for those who served, protected and liberated. The trip was an amazing experience that I’ll remember forever.

I ‘m extremely excited for the arrival of our exchange partners. Seeing them again will bring back so many memories.” - Katelynn

“ International exchanges connect hearts, and minds of people in ways most people can’t even imagine. Before this trip, I would have never dreamed of having one friend from the Netherlands, let alone twenty of them! In the midst of the darkest of times we formed our connection, and in the light of today we keep it alive. “ - Kari “International student exchanges are important to share cultures and learn about the history of a country. In the Netherlands, I didn’t just learn about the history of Canada’s military in the Netherlands, but much more.” - Han Yang “Student exchanges help us connect globally, and help us fade out the barriers between countries.” - Lenco “This student exchange offered extensive opportunities to learn about Dutch culture as well as the historical and present day connections between our cities and countries.” - Robbie “I think International, student exchanges are important because they teach students the importance of respecting diversity.” - Sydney
