Close-Up SNELSON APPEAL

Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Neil George Snelson did indeed kill Jennifer Cusworth in 1993, a jury concluded Tuesday night.

It’s the second time the Kelowna man, now 48, has been convicted of manslaughter in connection with the death of Cusworth, but the verdict still came as a relief to her loved ones.

“If I’d have been a little weaker I’d have fallen over,” Terry Cusworth, the victim’s father, told a Kamloops This Week reporter following the verdict in that city.

He, up until the very end, was unsure what the jury would find, despite the fact he’d long since decided on Snelson’s guilt.

Few people are more intimate with the details of the case that Cusworth’s parents.

Until 2009, however, the cause of her death was a community mystery, despite a high profile media campaign.

Posters and commercials ensured her smiling face and final wardrobe choice were familiar to Kelowna, but details on how Cusworth’s body ended up slumped over in a ditch on Swamp Road were in short supply.

Reports from the time didn’t even offer autopsy findings that she’d been strangled, but ultimately died from seven or eight blows to the head from a cylindrical object.

Nor that evidence of sexual activity was present.

Behind the scenes, however, investigators were asking attendees of the last party she was at for statements and

DNA samples in an attempt to get a fix on who she spent her last living moments with.

The statements amounted to 800-plus tips that led nowhere, and all the DNA collected was a bust.

As the community learned years later, Snelson was the missing piece of the puzzle.

Mounties testified that when Snelson, who had been at the same party as Cusworth in 1993, was routinely questioned about the matter as their investigation got underway, he declined to offer a DNA sample.

It was his right to decline.

And he may have been more savvy than his peers when it came to legal matters, as he had already dealt with problems relating to sexual activity.

His first round with the courts happened in 1987, when he was found guilty of committing an indecent act, namely masturbatory exhibitionism.

He received a suspended sentence and one-year probation for that episode, Justice Alison Beames told the court in 2011.

On Sept. 29, 1993, he was convicted again of committing an indecent act, again involving masturbatory exhibitionism.

A pre-sentence report was prepared prior to a sentence being imposed in that case.

He was interviewed for that report Oct. 15, 1993, within hours of the commencement of the house party on Richter, where Cusworth was last seen.

At that time, the court heard during his 2011 sentencing, he maintained his innocence to

When father of four and a staple in the cold case was dusted off in 2009, there were just seven, the local Lutheran church.

up at his house.

When investigators spoke to Snelson at his home June 18, 2009, with a picture of Cusworth in tow, he told them he had sex with a woman, all those years ago, but didn’t know her identity. He also made mention of a belt.

From information they cobbled together from that conversation, investigators got a warrant to force him to submit a DNA sample.

It was a match.

Semen found in Cusworth matched Snelson’s DNA profile making him the prime suspect in the murder investigation, and he was arrested shortly thereafter.

Snelson declined the opportunity to testify during his second trial, but he did speak at length during the 2011 trial.

At that time, he claimed it wasn’t until police started talking publicly about DNA evidence in Jennifer Cusworth’s cold case murder file, that he entertained the question of “what if” she was the woman he had sex with.

He had never linked the two when her face was plastered across the city. Nor when her parents came to Kelowna year after year, making a public plea for any information about their daughter’s last moments.

Snelson and Cusworth’s relationship, he explained when he first offered testimony in his own defence, had been brief.

He said he and Jennifer met at the party, left to have sex, then walked back to the group together.

cross-examination why nobody saw them together, Snelson changed his tune and said they went their separate ways after having sex.

When the party was over he told Currie, he drove a few friends to their houses, stopped at Denny’s to meet a friend who wasn’t there and went home to his wife. At both trials, that timeline was scrutinized.

A friend who had been expecting to meet him at Denny’s waited, but Snelson never came. His then-wife, who worked a late shift at a bar, didn’t remember when he came home.

Issues pertaining to the vehicle he drove also came to the fore.

What resonated with the jury will remain a mystery, but it’s clear with the second conviction on a manslaughter charge that when asked Snelson’s peers believe he was the man who killed Cusworth.

Whether he will ever shed any light on what really happened that night remains to be seen.

Snelson will appear in court again Monday to fix a date for a pre-sentence hearing. His previous 15 year sentence will be thrown out.

A manslaughter conviction carries a wide range of sentencing, from a suspended sentence to life in prison and the matter of how much time served will be put against his newest sentence still needs to be worked out.

He would have already been eligible for day parole had he not appealed the last verdict. @kelownanewsKAT

Children of murdered Kelowna woman need support “I want and need to tell this story so everyone will know the kind of person Theresa really was and why her two precious girls are so deserving,” wrote Sherry Crandell, a friend of Theresa Neville’s family for more than 20 years.

“She was an amazing

mother who never drank, smoked or did drugs of any kind.

“Her children were her everything. And now, after such tragic circumstances, their future will be without their mother...forever.”

Mounties received a request for assistance from paramedics at a house on the 300-block of Yates Road on June 18,

2013, at 12:37 a.m.

“When police arrived, they discovered the body of Theresa Ashley Neville and deemed her death to be suspicious,” said Cpl. Joe Duncan in a press release.

“Theresa’s two children (then ages 8 and 10) were found unharmed inside the home and were safely relocated with their extended family.”

Crandell said that closure for this family is not looking like it will come any time soon, but it would be a relief to the grandparents to know the two girls will be cared for in the future.

“More importantly, as Theresa is looking down and watching over her family, she might find some peace and justice knowing that people do care,” Crandell said.

Zipliners drop their tops for breast cancer fundraiser Kathy Michaels

“It started in 2011 with a cheeky group who called me up and said, ‘we heard if we zipped naked we could go for free,’” he said.

They said yes, chose the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation as their cause, and started a tradition that shows no sign of stopping anytime soon.

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).

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.

School catchment area changes being revisted Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

School officials, parents and even Lake Country’s planning director got together earlier this month as the issue of school catchment areas in Lake Country is once

again being studied, in advance of an expected change for the 2016-17 school session.

A focus group which included about 20 parents from each of Lake Country’s three elementary schools as well as representatives

from George Elliot Secondary, was joined by Central Okanagan school trustees, senior staff and Lake Country principals and vice-principals earlier this month to begin the process of figuring out how to reconfigure Lake Country’s catchment

Road area will likely mean not everyone will be happy with the final decision when it’s made. “I think it was a good start because we think we have voices representing all of Lake Country and getting the different perspectives,� he said. “One of the things that it may bring out is that there may not be a position that is all things to all people. “At the end of the day we may have to settle on something that not everyone is happy with but at least they will have a better understanding of some of the issues and challenges and why a particular decision is being made.�

The focus group will meet again June 23 before the issue is brought back to parents in another community meeting, likely to be held in the fall.

According to Gloster, a final decision on the catchments could be made by the Christmas break.

a good representation from the community so pretty much all of the neighborhoods were going to be represented,� said school superintendent Hugh Gloster. “We need to try to redirect the population more evenly. Oyama is quite under-populated, Peter Greer has some space but is closer to the target population and Davidson Road is way over.�

Board of education officials had hoped the catchment areas would be changed by this coming September.

However, the school district had to put a stop to the process after backlash from the community and parent groups who were upset with proposed changes.

So the school district capped Davidson Road with any new students set to be bused to Peter Greer for this coming year.

Part of the problem is most of the recent, as well as planned future, development in Lake Country falls within the Davidson Road catchment area.

Gloster said the first meeting of the focus group went well but he added the population growth in the Davidson

news _____________________________________ ALAINA PODMOROW

Human rights work is a calling for Lake Country student Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Alaina Podmorow has accomplished a lot during the last nine years.

Set to graduate high school this year, Podmorow, 17, has spent almost a decade of her young life committed to building a human rights organization called Little Women for Little Women in Afghanistan.

During that time and together with friends, she has built an organization that spreads across Canada and the US and has raised over $500,000 to help educate women and girls in Afghanistan.

Quite the accomplishment for someone who is not even out of high school. It even surprises her a little.

“I definitely am surprised in the sense that I never expected to be here, where I am today,” said Podmorow on Friday in an interview with the Lake Country Calendar.

“When I was nine years old and holding my first fundraiser to raise enough money for one teacher for a year in Afghanistan I was thinking that would be my contribution. But after that I really knew I had a much bigger job to do.

“It’s surprising at times but it’s such an amazing feeling. It leaves my heart feeling so full because of the work I have done and other little women have done and the support we have received.”

Podmorow formed Little Women for Little Women at nine years of age after watching a presentation from human rights activist and author Sally Armstrong about the plight of girls in Afghanistan.

There, girls weren’t even allowed to go to school under the reign of the Taliban.

Armstrong completed her presentation with eight words that sparked something in Podmorow.

And when she heard those words— “The worst thing you can do is nothing” —Podmorow was moved to take action.

“That was the night I knew I was going to do something to make a change,” she said, recalling the moment when her mission

Alaina Podmorow was recently awarded Plan Canada’s Top 20 Under 20 award for 2015. became clear. “There were all these really horrible human rights violations happening to women and girls and they weren’t even given the opportunity to get an education.

“I knew right away in the pit of my stomach that that was so wrong and shouldn’t be happening in our world.

I felt I had a responsibility in the global community to do something to make a change.”

And change has happened thanks to Podmorow and her team which includes about 15 girls from Lake Country who have been with her almost from the start.

The group has grown to include teams of little women right across the country.

Money raised by the group is sent to the Canadian Women for Women organization in Afghanistan where it is put towards four specific areas of education: Teacher salaries, teacher

education, school supplies and a library project where a mobile library can head into different areas of Afghanistan.

Over the years more than 8,000 teachers have been trained and hundreds of thousands of girls have had the chance to get educated, thanks to Little Women for Little Women.

In 2012, after six years of work, Podmorow traveled to Afghanistan for the first time to see the results of her hard efforts, and to get a first hand look at what life is like in the Third World country.

“When I was there I was able to see the difference education was making in these girls’ lives,” she said.

“We were able to sit in the classrooms and see what it is like for these girls and to see that they could reach their hopes and dreams one day.

“Being able to see these girls in the classroom with their eyes

lit up because anything was possible…it was amazing.”

Earlier this month Podmorow was announced as a winner of Plan Canada’s Top 20 Under 20 award for 2015, which recognizes Canada’s brightest youth who are making a meaningful impact in their communities and beyond.

Of the 20 award recipients this year, Podmorow was also honoured with the 2015 Community Service Impact Award which recognizes exceptional leadership among the current Top 20 Under 20 recipients.

Having accomplished so much before high school graduation has sparked an even greater calling for the Lake Country youth as she gets set to head to university and continue her human rights work.

“In the fall, I’m starting university and wanting to major in political science and go into journalism because I really do feel a great drive in my work to restore human rights and also be a voice for those that don’t have one and tell the stories that aren’t necessarily being told,” she said.

“I believe awareness and education are a huge part of life and I’m going to continue on with my work.”

Need for Site C dam challenged To the editor: Here’s proof that the Site C dam is not needed.

This summer, I took the initiative and installed 24 solar panels on my property.

The panels worked on overcast days, when the sun wasn’t shining, producing more power than our two-family, seven-freezer home could use, and sent the extra power back to the grid.

LETTER OF THE WEEK I was surprised that the solar panels work on light; as long as there’s daylight, my panels are producing solar power.

Since installing my panels, my hydro bills have been slashed more than 50 per cent.

I expect even greater savings because my hydro supplier, FortisBC, recently installed a smart meter that measures how much excess power I send back to the grid and will credit future bills.

I figure I am paying three to four cents per kilowatt hour on solar.

BORN LEFTIES Wild kangaroos tend to favour their left hands during common tasks like grooming and feeding, a study suggests based on hours of observation.

POACHING Most illegally-poached African elephant ivory, killing 50,000 elephants a year, can be traced to just two areas of Africa, Tanzania and nearby parts of Mozambique.

ON THE MOVE Researchers have discovered tiger sharks in the Atlantic Ocean complete epic migrations every year that are more similar to those of birds and turtles than other fishes.

PERKS UP MICE Neuroscientists have discovered that artificially stimulating a positive memory can cause mice to snap out of depression-like behaviour.

Fortis charges nine to 13 cents per kilowatt hour. What will be the cost per kilowatt hour in 10 years, if and when the Site C dam is built?

A new solar panel has already been developed and is entering the manufacturing stage that will substantially lower the cost of solar by reducing the amount of silicon needed in the panels.

Another new solar panel is being developed that has a battery system embedded in each panel.

The batteries charge during the day, when the solar panels are powering your house, and then the batteries power your house at night.

This is cutting edge technology that no hydro dam, no coal, no oil and no gas can price match.

Once solar panels are paid for (I estimate mine will be fully paid for in about seven years), your solar power is free.

Consider Germany, a nation of 81 million people, which has 500,000 homes producing solar power.

Fully one third of their power needs come from solar. The projected Site C dam would supply power for 450,000 homes, but would also put hundreds of

Assessing a ‘fair financial compensation’ cost The goal of “fair financial compensation for loss” is simple Achieving when you can point your finger Justice at specific dollars and cents losses such as receipts for chiropractic PAUL sessions or time missed from an HERGOTT hourly wage job.

The goal is not so simple when there is nothing specific you can point your finger at.

How, for example, do you come up with fair compensation for injuries that reduce the ability to perform domestic, household tasks?

If a housekeeper was hired, you can easily add up the invoices, but what if family and extended family picked up the slack without pay?

A couple months ago, I described a recent court decision that affirms that this type of loss must be compensated just like any other.

In that decision, $70,000 was awarded for the injury victim’s past as well as future loss of ability to do domestic work in her own home, even though family and extended family members had picked up the slack and she had not spent any money to hire replacement services.

A more recent case, this time coming from the

highest level of court in this province (Court of Appeal), provides another example of complexity when considering compensation for loss.

In this case, Reynolds v. M. Sanghera & Sons Trucking Ltd., 2015 BCCA 232, Mr. Reynolds had lost the capacity to perform home renovations and landscaping work.

This loss is a little bit different from a loss of housekeeping capacity because domestic tasks do not result in any change, over time, in the property itself. By comparison, home renovations and landscaping work result in an improved property.

The defending insurance company pointed to that difference when coming up with an argument that was successful at the trial level, but failed at the Court of Appeal.

They argued that, since his wife was an equal owner of the home and the renovations and installation of an irrigation system in the yard would improve the value of home, compensation for this loss should be reduced by fifty percent.

The Court of Appeal agreed that home and yard work can improve the value of a property but

disagreed that this improvement should result in a reduction of compensation.

The court noted the reality that all home owners would agree with “…such maintenance and improvement work is often undertaking not as a capital investment, but as part of making and maintaining a home…”.

In conclusion, the Court of Appeal decided: “The value of this lost benefit should not be discounted just because it is possible that Mr. Reynolds’ spouse may also receive an increase in the value of her interest in the property.”

These are examples of where complex issues of injury compensation have been resolved by court decisions that will assist other injury victims to achieve fair compensation without the need for a trial.

The reality is that the vast majority of injury claims settle with the “writing being on the wall” of what the court is likely to do available with case law research.

Paul McCavour stands next to his solar panels installed on his house. because they know if it becomes widespread, they can’t compete with owner-produced energy.

We should be embarking on a future powered by solar here in BC and Canada.

Lots of immediate, sustainable jobs could be created in a solar industry.

For less than the price of a new car, I created a “solar plant” on my property that pays me every day and will produce clean, cheap energy for the rest of my life.

Do we need a Site C dam that will cost $8 billion to build and force hydro companies to charge a lot more for power to recoup their investment and make a profit? No! What we need is for the Province of BC

All about need to control organic growers, are immune from this cross contamination by this one GMO apple orchard.

At the very least, not any orchard in the Okanagan or Similkameen Valleys will ever be able to claim that their apples are grown GE free—organic or not.

This affects what we grow, what we eat. This impacts our domestic and foreign markets, threatens the very existence of the certified organic industry and alters our reputation as growers of healthy, wholesome and natural food.

I feel our rights as growers and the rights of consumers have lost the freedom to control our individual destinies.

It is imperative that we reverse this corporate control over such important aspects of our lives.

to embrace solar energy and promote it aggressively and widely.

Make it a part of all public buildings; lower or remove the PST on solar panels; encourage the production of solar panels in B.C. as a new industry; provide incentives for installation of solar panels by businesses and homeowners.

This could lead to a new era of plentiful, clean energy in our province and save our northeast for agricultural use to provide food for us now and in the future.

and issued some first aid while his colleague phoned 911. Both Telus team members stayed with the victims and kept their truck blocking traffic until fire and ambulance arrived to take over.

My colleague Adi has pulled over to support his neighbours during a handful of accidents or stalled vehicles, and I must say, we’re lucky to have someone like him around in Kelowna.

He never thinks twice, and always gets out to help as best as he can after ensuring 911 has been called. The Telus corporate philosophy is to “Give Where We Live,” and Adi truly embodies this way of being whether he’s on or off the job.

Traffic not just noisy but also dangerous To the editor: Re: Summer Street Noise is Intolerable, June 10, Kelowna Capital News.

I also live with constant traffic noise, excessive loud motorcycles, dirt bikes, cars with modified mufflers and speeders.

Frost Drive in Upper Mission has no stop signs, an open invitation to speeders. This is a newer residential area with people who pay high taxes to live here. Every summer is ruined by these inconsiderate speeders and noise makers. We can’t even enjoy our patios because of the noise and we have to worry about an impending accident at Frost and South Ridge Drive.

A traffic calming roundabout at Frost and South Crest would slow traffic but still maintain traffic flow. This is a developing area with many more homes to be built. These problems will only get worse.

Response to accident applauded EXPRESS To the editor: I want to share this good samaritan story courtesy of our local Telus team members.

Two of our technicians were first on site to a recent accident on Highway 97 in Kelowna.

A vehicle t-boned a truck that was making a left turn, and airbags in both vehicles were deployed. Our technicians saw the accident happen and noticed no one else was stopping, so they pulled the Telus vehicle over to block traffic and immediately got out to help.

The driver of one vehicle appeared to be in shock and was trying to leave his vehicle when one of our team members, Adi Konieczny, approached him.

Adi told the driver he had first aid training, and asked him not to move as he may not be aware of his injuries.

He appeared to have broken limbs and a number of cuts, and Adi kept him immobile

GMOs & SMART METERS

To the editor: Re: Genetically Modified Foods and smart meters The concern I have for GMO foods is exactly the same as EMFs (electromagnetic fields) from smart meters. It’s about control.

You notice that BC Hydro and FortisBC can’t resist comparing their smart meters to our personal electronic devices. There are many things I can do to reduce EMF’s from all the electronic devices I use.

However, I am in control of my personal devices and have no control over wireless technology delivered by a utility both to my home and to all other homes in my vicinity.

A genetically modified apple planted in Summerland can potentially infect my orchard through pollen transfer by bees that are transported up and down the Okanagan Valley by bee keepers.

kilometers of beautiful river valley under water.

Construction of the dam also requires the relocation of roads and the building of homes for more than1,000 workers, all of which the consumer must pay for in higher hydro prices.

How much will the power cost: 15 cents, 20 cents, 30 cents a kilowatt hour? They don’t tell us. It’s just corporations making money at the consumer’s expense.

China and India, which comprise 35 per cent of the world’s population, are on the fast track to developing their own solar industries.

China already has the second largest amount of solar capacity and will double its gigawatt output by 2020.

China is also the largest producer of solar panels in the world, selling the panels worldwide. India is beginning a massive program that will see hundreds of millions of homes, businesses and manufacturing plants powered by free solar.

In the U.S., solar is being embraced in a big way. Plans are to train 50,000 solar installers to add to the 30,000 installers and 1,000 instructors who are already trained.

You have to ask yourself, what energy source is solar power replacing around the world? Is it coal, gas or oil? All of these are produced in Canada.

Our future markets for coal, gas and oil will only shrink, simply because solar power is clean and free, once the solar panels have been paid for.

No other source of energy on the planet can compete with it, be it hydro dams, coal, oil, gas or wind farms.

Corporations are hush about solar power

Ciaran Galts and Liam O’Flynn are taking their cancer fundraising mission to Europe.

Galts and O’Flynn are part of an eight-member team, all of whom are under the age of 24, that will be participating in the Ride to Conquer Cancer in Vancouver at the end of August.

As part of their fundraising campaign, they will take two months to cycle through Europe, with their journey

beginning in Bergen, Norway June 21 and continuing through 12 different countries before ending in Italy on August 24.

While the journey will be the first of its kind for O’Flynn, Galts has done something similar in the past, but without a fundraising component.

Galts said he wanted to do something similar to his previous experience this summer, but also wanted a way to do more to help the community.

The team found a way to do that through

One thing the riders are looking forward to is the sustainable lifestyle they will be living overseas.

LAKE COUNTRY

Firefighters busy with blaze Dry conditions sparked quick action in a Lake Country neighbourhood.

District firefighters and Ministry of Forests crews quickly tackled a blaze that broke out near Juniper Cove Road, off of Commonage Road, Wednesday night.

“A tanker actioned the fire Wednesday night and crews are now doing mop-up,” said Kelsey Winter, an information officer with the Kamloops fire zone, Thursday.

The blaze grew to about 1.3 hectares in size and no structures were threatened.

The cause is believed to

be human caused and is under investigation.

Also on Wednesday, a grass fire had to be put out at Woodsdale and Lodge roads in Lake Country.

Fire officials at the Kamloops Fire Centre said there was no other blazes burning in the Kelowna area as of Thursday at noon however they cautioned residents to be very cautious as the area continues to go through a drying trend.

Blazes have also kept crews busy in the Lumby area.

A grass fire had to be extinguished Wednesday

morning on Highway 6 within the village, while Lumby firefighters and ministry crews responded to a 0.5-hectare blaze on Bear Valley Road, near Camel’s Hump. Both were caused by lightning.

“We are in a drying trend and the fire fuels are very dry,” said Winter.

“The fire danger rating is moderate to high.”

Winter is urging residents to be cautious with fire, including discarding burning cigarette butts.

“We need our resources directed to naturally caused fires and not human-caused fires.”

I’m back working in the riding for the summer.

I will do my best to meet with you.

Summer speaker series focus to learn about schooling at all levels Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

With the education landscape in B.C. changing, UBC Okanagan is bringing in several experts and researchers this summer to take a look at the future of education in the province.

The university is inviting the public to come out and learn more about schooling at all levels.

For the second year in a row, UBC Okanagan’s Faculty of Education will present a Summer Speaker Series, featuring a variety of speakers coming to the Okanagan campus to give free presentations every Wednesday for six weeks.

“Part of the mandate of the faculty of education is to respond to the needs of the community so we want to offer interesting talks regarding education so that community members will have the chance to discuss some of the important issues that have arisen in education,” said Karen Ragoonaden, UBC Okanagan’s coordinator of professional development.

“We are all, to a certain extent, involved in education so it’s important to have as many voices as possible joining in the discussion.”

Who ya callin’ garbage?

I’m not garbage, Take me to the Recycling Depot!

Stiffer fines and driving sanctions eyed Jeff Nagel contributor

The province is considering stiffer fines and possibly vehicle impoundments or prohibitions to get distracted drivers to put down their cellphones and devices.

Motorists caught using a hand-held device face $167 fines and – since last fall – three driver penalty points.

“We took a first step and increased the penalties last fall and now we’re looking at

possible changes to the legislation, including more severe penalties,” Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said.

A four-week online consultation period is open until July 16 to gather public opinion on whether tougher measures are needed.

Comments are being collected at engage.gov. bc.ca/distracteddriving.

Besides potential vehicle impoundments or driver prohibitions, the site asks if texting drivers should be punished more severely, and possibly

new drivers and repeat offenders as well.

Five years after distracted driving fines were introduced in B.C., many drivers continue to ignore the law.

Police issued 55,100 tickets last year to drivers caught using an electronic device behind the wheel – an increase from 53,000 in 2013.

ICBC estimates 9,500 drivers in B.C. are using a hand-held device at any given time and 40 per cent are texting or emailing as they drive.

The B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police supports escalating fines or sanctions, particularly for multiple repeat offenders, said Transit Police Chief Neil Dubord who chairs the chiefs’ traffic committee.

But he said the widespread disregard for the cellphone law makes it difficult to see how officers could impound vehicles – at least on a first offence – without being accused of selective, unfair

enforcement.

“The impoundment of vehicles is difficult because of the large numbers,” said Dubord, who is taking over as chief of Delta Police later this month. “When people are speeding at double the limit speed limit a threshold is broken which can then lead to the impounding of the vehicle.”

He said he believes prohibitions should be considered, but only for the worst repeat offenders.

The chiefs’ association doesn’t have a formal position on prohibitions, nor has it adopted the stance that texting is worse than hand-held phone calls.

According to research cited by the province, texting or using a smartphone while driving is more distracting than talking on one, resulting in up to 23 times higher crash risk for drivers who text.

Speed and distraction are now the top two factors contributing to crash deaths, ahead of third-ranked alcohol.

B.C.’s distracted driving fines are the second lowest in Canada. Nova Scotia has the highest, climbing from $234 to $579 on the third offence, and Ontario is about to double its maximum fine from $500 to $1,000.

Saskatchewan impounds the vehicle for seven days if the driver has had two or more distracted driving tickets within the last year.

Dubord said police are also concerned about the increasing use of in-dash video screens that allow the passenger, and often also the driver, to watch movies.

He said officers are also wary of other new and distracting technology, from Google Glass to the Apple Watch.

Church bells will ring to remember missing Aboriginal women Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Canada’s murdered and missing aboriginal women will be remembered with a marathon church bell ringing in Kelowna Sunday morning.

The bells of St. Michael and All Angels Anglican Cathedral on Sutherland Avenue will ring 1,122 times—once each for every aboriginal woman currently unaccounted for in Canada—starting at 11:30 a.m.

Sunday is National Aboriginal Day in Canada and Anglican churches across the country will also ring their bells ina similar fashion.

While the church has said it expects the ringing to take about 45 minutes.

On Monday, the church received unanimous approval from Kelowna city council to hold the continuous bell ringing.

Mayor Colin Basran said the church has told him it plans to hand deliver notices about the event to all its immediate neighbours prior to the event.

He said he does not expect a lot of complaints about the sound of the bells once the public understands why they are being rung.

In addition to marking National Aboriginal Day and remembering the murdered and missing women, the event will also mark the recent conclusion to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, given the task to study the issue of residential schools in this country.

St. Michaels and All Angels is one of 30 Anglican cathedral churches across Canada scheduled to take part in the bell-ringing event.

WATCH

Presented by:

Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@ kelownacapnews.com

Karen Erickson has a lot of people to thank for help getting her career to where it is today.

Erickson is the regional director of the Okanagan Investors Group, and she said

without the support of her family, church and staff she never would have reached that point.

Erickson has been with Investors Group for 17 years, working in a myriad of roles in

that time. After beginning as a marketing and sales assistant, she moved into a financial advisor role. The following year, 2007, she added Certified Financial Planning (CFP) and Certified Senior Advisor (CSA) designations to her resume, helping to propel her to become a division director in 2009.

Erickson worked in that role for five years before being named regional director in January 2014.

Erickson’s 17 years of experience in her chosen field have given her many lessons to draw from, and she described a few of them.

“I think that perseverance is something that’s overlooked,” Erickson said. “When you’re in an entrepreneurial role

you get the risks and the rewards and you need to have integrity, you need a vision of what you want to do, you have to be tenacious and you have to have lots of perseverance to get through it. Being a It’s important to consider and explore careers you’ve never given much thought to before because one of them could end up being the perfect job for you.

Many entrepreneurs,

particularly those with children, often find it hard to achieve balance between work and family in their lives.

Erickson said she has found that balance, and encouraged others to find a way to be able to attain it. For her, the path lead through being an entrepreneur.

Erickson said being self-employed not only gave her time to both be a mother and focus on her career, but it also allowed her time to volunteer and give back to her community.

Part of Erickson’s current role is to hire new staff, and she offered some tips for applicants looking for work in the financial planning field.

“You’re looking for somebody who is excellent at customer service, somebody who cares about people and wants to help people,” she described.

“In the end, our business of financial planning is a very caring and service oriented business. So we’ve got to establish what our clients need, and we need to figure out what to do to get them there.”

Erickson never anticipated getting a CFP, and she stressed it’s important to consider and explore careers you’ve never given much thought to before because one of them could end up being the perfect job for you.

Erickson has found that ideal career, and in addition to providing her with balance in her life she has also seen growth in a number of skills she never anticipated developing. Those areas include public speaking, presenting and facilitating, and creating contests to

motivate people to get excited to do their job.

For many years, Erickson has been involved with promoting women in business. She wants to inspire women to know they can make it in business if they simply put their minds to it.

She noted it’s great to have a mentor to help you succeed, and she would love to see women band together to help each other reach leadership roles and succeed in them.

Finally, she added it’s important to embrace change rather than resist it, as change is going to happen and it’s best to use it to your advantage.

Erickson’s career success and dedication to helping other women see similar career progressions are what make her a Woman to Watch.

Crowe MacKay’s Women to Watch program is a weekly feature that profiles remarkable women in our community. This feature series is a joint initiative between Crowe MacKay, the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce and the Kelowna Capital News.

Some advice offered for replacing water-thirsty lawn The Rock Gardens at the unH2O Xeriscape Garden captured the interest of many who visited during last weekend’s Flower Power Tour and the free gardening class last Tuesday.

A common statement I heard was: “What a beautiful way to replace my water-thirsty lawn.”

Here are some tips about making a xeriscape garden.

Plants are low growing and need little to no irrigation after their first year. All are easy to grow and need little care.

Although they will grow well with compost type mulch, all are adapted to growing in rock mulch.

To reduce evaporation and weed growth the gardens were covered with screened crusher chips. Small pea gravel can also be used. Both are easy to garden in.

Avoid lava rock, shale and river rock as they are difficult to weed/ garden in. As well, avoid landscape fabric for it restricts the desired

Gardening With Nature GWEN STEELE spread of plants and makes gardening a challenge.

Before planting, a few larger rocks were installed to give added texture to the garden.

Make sure the planting area is weed-free before planting. Keep the garden weeded. This takes much less time than regular lawn mowing.

Once the plants cover the ground, weeding will be minimized.

Two main plant species in the gardens are Sempervivum (hen and chicks or semps) and Sedum (stonecrop).

Both tolerate full sun to part shade. They are not fussy about soil but do poorly if over-watered.

To improve drainage in heavy clay soil, mix screened crusher chips into the clay.

Mounding up garden beds also improves

drainage.

Best known semps are the common, burgundytipped, green ‘house leeks’ used in Europe for centuries on green/living roofs.

There are many sizes and colour variations from burgundy, blues, greens and bicolours to cobwebbed.

Each rosette (chick) can be set on soil to make a new plant.

Semps do well when tucked amongst the exposed roots that often present gardening challenges under a shade tree.

Sedum is a genus with many different species and varieties from very flat ground covers to the eighteen inch tall, fall blooming Sedum ‘Autumn Joy.’ There is abundant variation in foliage shapes and colours as well as flower colours and bloom times.

All are easy to divide or root in water to start new plants.

Enhancing literacy skills for school-aged children “Build It!” is the theme of this year’s Summer Reading Club at Okanagan Regional Library branches in the Central Okanagan.

All seven library branches in the region—Oyama, Lake Country, Rutland, Mission, Kelowna, Westbank and Peachland—have planned free special events and programs throughout the summer to ensure school-aged children improve their literacy skills and have fun while on holiday.

The Summer Reading Club is an annual focus of the ORL regional library system, with support from the BC Library Association, B.C. Ministry of Education and local Friends of the Library groups.

ORL staff have witnessed first-hand the difference summer reading can make in a young reader’s life, especially when children have the opportunity to read stories related to their own interests.

“Summer Reading Club is for all kids, those who love reading and even those who hate reading. Our goal is to get all kids reading just 20 minutes a day during the summer,” said Ashley Machum, children’s librarian at the

downtown Kelowna library.

“The best part about the Reading Club for families on the go is that they don’t even have to be in the Okanagan to participate.

“They can pick up their reading log before leaving on vacation, track their reading, and pick up their medal when they’re back.”

For 2015, illstrator, animator and game designer Shayne Letain created the “Built It!” theme to encourage active participation and creativity from program participants.

Games, reading lists, colouring pages and construction projects can be found on the BC Summer Reading Club website at kidssrc.ca.

Local magician Leif David, known to many as “Ali K. Zam,” created a special new 45-minute magic show based on the “Build It!” theme and will perform his show at all 29 ORL branches over the summer.

To join Summer Reading Club, check with your local library branch for detailed registration information and activity dates or check out the website orl.bc.ca.

John Gay Contributor

It is a muggy Wednesday evening after another hard, two and a half hour, session of training with his teammates as part of the Kelowna-based Okanagan Athletics Club, and 19-year-old Jerome Blake is putting the finishing touches on his cool down routine.

His work for the day finally finished, Blake makes his way towards the exit of the Kelowna Apple Bowl, stopping frequently to chat with teammates, coaches, and the parents of athletes arriving to bring their charges home. Laughing and joking around, Blake’s antics seem to belie the rigorous training regimen he is subject to on a daily basis; yet while off the track he is perhaps most distinguishable for his easy going nature, on it he is a picture of intensity and focus.

This was not always the case however, and over the past two years, the young man originally hailing from Jamaica has undergone a transformation of sorts. A self-described “troublemaker” with no real sense of where he was heading or what he wanted to do with his life, Blake arrived in Canada with his mother and brother in the summer of 2013 with the intentions of staying for just a few months. Fate and the keen eye of a coach proved to have different plans however, and while supervising his younger brother playing soccer on the infield of the local track, Jerome decided to test out his speed with a few intervals around the oval.

Running alone and barefoot, it didn’t take

long for OAC head coach Pat Sima-Ledding to pick out Blake’s loping figure as she arrived at the Apple Bowl to start making preparations for that night’s club practice.

Following his run, the two got talking.

“I asked her if she was a track and field athlete herself and she told me she was a coach with the local club,” says Blake.

“I told her that back in Jamaica I had been a 400m hurdler and she looked at me and was like ‘no way, from now on you’re going to be a sprinter.”

“As far as technique goes, Jerome was way off,” says SimaLedding, “but on very little technical work and absolutely no training the natural talent was there. I knew, that with guidance and some technical cleanup he had the potential to run some really fast times.”

Sima-Ledding invited Jerome out to the next OAC practice and two weeks later he found himself in Kamloops ready to enter the blocks for the BC Athletics annual Track and Field Jamboree.

“I ended up coming almost last in all of my heats for the 100m, 200m, and 400m, and ran 11.52 or something for (the 100 meters)” confesses Blake, “and I left that weekend telling myself that was it, I was done with track and field for good.”

Nevertheless, after stepping back from the sport for some time, the encouragement he received from SimaLedding and others led him back to the track that winter, ready to work hard and drop his times.

“During those early stages of base work it can be really difficult for the athletes,” Sima-

LORNE WHITE/OKANAGN SPORTS PAGE

Kelowna’s Jerome Blake on the rise

Kelowna’s Jerome Blake has his sights set on a berth on the Canadian team at the 2016 Olympics in Rio.

Ledding says, “it’s a lot of repetition, a lot of very dry, boring work, and whether or not [the athletes] make it through really comes down to their character and willingness to work hard. In order to push

through that difficult training there has to be a passion for the sport. That passion cannot be trained but with Jerome, it is absolutely there.”

Sure enough, Blake made it through that first winter of training

and entered his first full season of outdoor competition (2014) eager to see what he could do.

A senior at Rutland Senior Secondary, he quickly made a name for himself on the high school circuit, easily

going undefeated through a series of local and regional level competitions. In his first electronically timed race of the year, the Kamloops Centennial meet in May, Blake ran away with a winning time of 11.00,

just shy of the elusive 11 second barrier.

“At that point Pat said to me ‘once you break 11 seconds there’s no going back,’ and that’s when I really started to think that I could do something special.”

His opportunity to push past that point of no return would come later that month at the B.C. high school provincial championships in Langley.

Everything “clicked into place” for Blake as he blew away the provinces best prep athletes en route to a double gold medal showing with personal best performances of 10.73 and 22.34 in the 100m and 200m respectively.

With those results, Blake earned himself a spot on the provincial team and was given the opportunity to represent BC for the first time at the Canadian Junior track and field championships in St. Thérèse, Que., where he was able to qualify for finals in both of those events against a deeper and more talented field than he had ever encountered. The following weekend, Blake returned to the site of his first race the year before, the BC Championship Jamboree. Running well over a second faster in the 100m than his showing in the event in 2013, Blake erased all the doubts in his ability that had plagued him the year before and cemented B himself as the province’s most dominant sprinter. a Despite the wild h successes of his 2014 t season, Sima-Ledding w knew the real test for s Jerome would have to wait until 2015, when s he would move from the junior age category e into the realm of senior w b SEE BLAKE A23s fi t m s a

Another winter of heavy training and come the spring of 2015 Blake was primed for another standout season.

No longer in high school, races in the early months of spring were fewer and further between for Blake, and so the first real test of fitness would come at the Kamloops Centennial meet; the scene of so many of his past accomplishments.

Going into the race, Sima-Ledding was

had high aspirations for Jerome to be performing well at the national level later this season,” admitted Sima-Ledding, “but to run that fast, that early in the season took both of us by surprise, and from there the plans we had made kind of went out the window.

The Kamloops Centennial meet was a ‘game changer’ for the future of Jerome’s career.”

Asked about what’s next from here, Blake is clear on his goals of competing on the world championship and

Olympic stage.

His Canadian citizenship still in the processing stage, he is nevertheless unwavering in his aspirations to one day toe the line with the maple leaf of his adopted country on his chest.

In the meantime, he says he just needs to stay focused on his training, stop worrying about the competitors in the lanes next to him, and enter every race confident in his ability.

“With the sky as the limit,” Jerome Blake has just “gotta keep (his) head out of the clouds.”

In the first ever integrated version of the event, four men’s teams and four women’s teams took to the field last weekend at King

In the men’s final, Surrey defeated host Andre’s 4-0. Andre’s loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the seventh but couldn’t get any closer.

In the women’s final, the Kelowna Kaos held off the Kelowna U18 Heat for a 6-5 win.

The Heat fell behind 4-0 early, but made a

game of it only to fall short by one run in the end.

Because there was another major men’s event on the Lower Mainland on the same weekend, organizer Kyle Blanleil said men’s teams were at a premium, opening the door to add a women’s draw for the

RockyView and PG take titles at Woodsboxla tournament

5

The Kelowna Minor Lacrosse Association played host to the Andy Woods Memorial Midget Tournament last weekend with teams from RockyView and Prince George taking home top honours.

RockyView defeated Port Moody 4-3 in the A-side final, while Prince George blanked Nicola Valley 5-0 to win the B event.

The host Kelowna Kodiaks made it to the A-side consolation where they were defeated 8-4

by North Okanagan.

The tournament, which featured 13 teams this year, is held annually in the memory of Andy Woods, a former lacrosse player in Kelowna.

The following is a message conveyed at the medal ceremony Sunday

by Andy’s family: “Andy was born in Victoria, grew up in Kelowna and played lacrosse from a young age. He was passionate about the game and saw

it from two perspectives while playing and refereeing. Above all sportsmanship was No. 1 for Andy. He had an opportunity to play at a higher level while playing on the Kelowna senior team and a short time with the Coquitlam Adanacs.

“We are grateful to Kelowna Minor Lacrosse for putting the Andy Woods Memorial Tournament on each year to remember our Beloved son and brother. Sincerely, Glen, Linda and Tim Woods” Teams in Kelowna are now preparing for their zone playoffs in preparation for provincials which will be held in Prince George in July.

Meanwhile, the Kelowna Minor Lacrosse Association will be hosting the bantam provincials in July.

Volunteers are needed for the event, anyone interested in helping out can email kmla.bantam@ gmail.com.

first time.

“I thought it went very well,” said Blanleil. “All the men’s games were close, and it was nice to be able to showcase women’s fastball, too. We

were happy to be able to integrate the two this year.”

Traditionally held on Father’s Day weekend, the tournament honours the memory of Andre Blanleil Sr., a long-time player and coach in Kelowna.

For Kelowna hockey fans, there was a bonus silver lining to the Blackhawk title as we were able to watch former Kelowna Rocket Duncan Keith dominate the blueline and win the highly coveted Conn Smythe trophy, emblematic of the top jock in the playoffs.

Keith of course is just one of many players who toiled for a Kelowna junior hockey club and later moved on to the NHL. Oddly enough, the largest share of those players were defencemen.

In addition to Keith, broadcasting the final Stanley Cup series was play-by-play master Jim Hughson, who spent years as the play-byplay man for both the Kelowna Buckaroos and the early Kelowna Wings.

While I followed the last two playoff rounds with some interest, I admit my main hockey focus the past month has been on precisely what the Toronto Maple Leafs will do with their fourth round draft pick come the June junior draft.

I can’t recall the last time there was as much keen, positive national attention focus on the Leafs, however the hiring of Babcock reinvigorated fans. Heck, once they get rid of Phil Kessel, I may just have to put on the Leafs sweater on my wall.

about the tragic loss of respected Kelowna journalist Trevor Rockliffe.

While I never worked directly with Trevor I am familiar with his fine work and tremendous personality.

Trevor was both very professional and very popular with co-workers and his sudden traumatic demise has rocked not only his friends and family but all of us connected to the media world, big or small.

Rockliffe, age 54, was the news director for Castanet for four years before leaving last year to work on the TV show Highway Thru Hell.

According to newsman Wayne Moore, a close friend and former coworker, Rockliffe was working on his vehicle Friday when the jack gave way. My sincere condolences to Trevor’s friends and family including wife Colleen and his four children.

news _____________________________________________________________________ MISSION CREEK

Greenway trail extension underway Work is underway to extend the Mission Creek Greenway upstream from KLO Creek.

Earlier this month, construction began on a new bridge that will cross KLO Creek.

Next month, it’s anticipated crews will begin building a new trail, extending the existing Mission Creek Greenway recreational trail by another 1.7-kilometers along KLO Creek.

Along this new section, trail users will find excellent views of Layercake Mountain and the unique geological features in Gallagher’s Canyon.

It’s expected the trail will be complete and ready for public use this October.

Until then, park visitors are asked for their safety and that of the workers involved, to stay out of this closed area.

The new bridge and trail extension were announced last year.

The Friends of Mission Creek Society are funding this project with $223,000 that was raised through individual and corporate donations.

The Friends of Mission Creek Society was formed in 1996 with a goal to create a trail along Mission Creek.

In 1997, Phase 1 of the Greenway opened with 7.5 km leading from Lakeshore Rd to Mission

Creek Regional Park.

Phase 2 added 8.5 km of trail upstream from Mission Creek Regional

Park to Scenic Canyon Regional Park in 2005.

CORA RESTAURANT

Free breakfast offer to raise donations to help feed kids CONTRIBUTED

Volunteers from BMO Kelowna (left photo) and the UBC Okanagan’s deputy vice-chancellor Deborah Buszard’s office helped out four different agencies over three days at United Way Day of Caring this past week. It was a great way to show their support for the community and to help the agencies out with some much needed yard work. The BMO Kelowna group worked at the Kelowna NOW Apartments, while the UBCO crew directed their energy to helping the Clubhouse Child Care Farm.

The Cora restaurant in Orchard Park Shopping Centre will celebrate its first anniversary in business by offering a Feel Good Breakfast Event on Tuesday, June 23.

The first 100 customers between 6 and 9 a.m. can enjoy a free “Cora’s Special” breakfast, which includes eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, pancake, potatoes and toast served with a coffee.

“This is our way to thank Kelowna and the Okanagan for their amazing support over this past year and do something to give back to the community,” said Pam MacPhee, local owner/operator of the Kelowna Cora location along with her husband Paul MacPhee.

Free breakfast recipients will be invited to make a donation to the Breakfast

Club of Canada to help feed Okanagan school children breakfast before their school day.

“It’s called the Feel Good Breakfast for a reason—we want those who enjoy their free breakfast to feel good about paying it forward to the Breakfast Club of Canada and helping local kids,”said Paul MacPhee. “Every one dollar donated equals a breakfast for a local child.

Breakfast Club of Canada is a nonprofit organization that provides funding, equipment, training and support to school breakfast programs across the country. The organization is dedicated to making sure every child starts their day with a meal, helping them thrive at school, and in their community.

to fund research and to provide support for those living with the presently incurable disease.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neuromuscular disease that affects the person’s motor neurons which carry messages to the muscles. When these muscles fail to receive messages, they lose strength, atrophy and die, leaving the person immobilized.

Right now, the ALS community has an extraordinary chance to step forward with renewed confidence and vigour.

Promising new discoveries for treatment offer for a brighter future for the ALS mission to

find a cure.

You can register to participate online at walkforals.ca.

The Walk for ALS is a volunteer-driven event coordinated by the ALS Society of BC, taking place in 15 communities across BC and Yukon.

Each location features accessible routes for wheelchairs and scooters, rest stops and more.

It is the largest annual fundraiser of the ALS Societies across Canada.

The ALS Society of BC, established in 1981, is dedicated to providing direct support to ALS patients, along with their families and caregivers, to ensure the best quality of life possible while living with ALS.

Entrepreneurs the driving force of economic growth For many years, the roles, characteristics and contributions of the entrepreneur were overlooked as greater emphasis was directed to the roles of government and large companies.

While companies continued to merge or be absorbed into larger corporate entities, the entrepreneur worked in the background, often frustrated and misunderstood.

Meanwhile, we hesitantly generated entrepreneurial development. Our schools didn’t focus on entrepreneurs and provided little reward and incentive for those who demonstrated an entrepreneurial attitude.

Parents didn’t often select entrepreneurship as the career of choice for their children. Thus, the world of the entrepreneur was often a lonely and ignored environment.

Then things started to change. Barriers and borders started coming down. The global economy had started to skyrocket.

Products, services, ideas, money, information, technology and people started moving freely throughout the world.

Global competition and opportunity began to accelerate at an incredible

Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG rate. Companies began to re-organize, downsize, restructure as they sought ways to enhance their productivity, performance and competitive position in the marketplace.

This led to where the larger corporations ceased to exist as the source of significant employee growth.

With governments also forced into an era of fiscal discipline and restructuring and downsizing, it became obvious that Canada needed to hone its competitive edge, to find other ways to be innovative and initiate new sources of employment and income growth.

At the same time, many Canadians were increasingly fearful. Jobs were not secure. Incomes were in jeopardy. All of the rules seemed to change quickly.

If you worked hard to get a good education and then devoted yourself to a job, there was now no assurance that you would get to keep that job in your time preference.

have led to one singular place— entrepreneurship.

Through entrepreneurs, governments can see economic growth and prosperity.

Large companies looked increasingly to the services of smaller, entrepreneur-led companies to help them in their efforts to improve service and productivity as well as enhance their competitive edge, both domestically and

internationally.

Corporate leaders saw, in entrepreneurs, new ideas and innovations that could serve their needs.

It is time now to see more clearly what it is that worked in the recent past and what it is that should be done in the future in our wonderful valley landscape. There is, perhaps, a need for more dynamic synergy.

Also, there is a need for a clearer focus and more attention to the areas of greatest importance for

our future.

There is a need for the seeds of entrepreneurship, I would suggest, to land on the most fertile ground that we can provide to help the roots of new venture creation and personal life change take hold and enable our valley-wide society maintain hope for a bountiful harvest.

So let us be mindful that we are entering into a swirling storm of change and attempt, some sense of order that will spawn the healthy

seeds of entrepreneurial creation.

We must collectively prepare the soil. Assist our valley environment.

Fertilize the ground. Till our fields. And embrace the economic harvest.

We have all the right ingredients outside our door, so we must challenge ourselves to embrace the tools that are within our reach and solidify our value to the regional landscape that cries out for the entrepreneurial spirit of determination.

Want the Real Beauty Benefits of Collagen?

Generate It. Don’t Eat It!

BioSil Advanced Collagen Generator ™

Clinical Trial Results

• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles • Increases Skin Elasticity • Thickens and Strengthens Hair • Strengthens Nails By now you know. Adding body collagen directly reduces wrinkles, increases skin elasticity, and adds vital moisture to your skin. Indirectly, collagen thickens and strengthens your hair. You may also know that collagen production slows by 1% per year after the age of 21.

Can you gain it back? Yes. But not by eating collagen.

You see, collagen is a protein. When you ingest it, your body breaks it down, like any other protein, and uses it as food. When you want the real beauty benefits of collagen, you have to generate it.

BioSil™ generates collagen by activating the collagen producing cells in your body known as fibroblasts. It is clinically proven to increase collagen formation. In fact, in the clinical trial the women taking BioSil™ reduced wrinkles by 30%, increased skin elasticity by 89% and thickened and strengthened their hair by 13% compared to women not taking BioSil™. So when you want genuine visible results from collagen, generate it, don’t eat it. Experience the beautiful difference for yourself!

California town will shake you up

Sam McManis Contributor

The earth shook, or so it seemed. Dust billowed, cattle scattered.

Horses thundered at full gallop, their reverberative hooves clawing in the shifting soil.

A grown man went flying, rag doll-like, then gripped a wobbly steer’s horns for purchase.

Cries and yells punctuated the scene. A guy’s Coors Light can got knocked clear out of his grasp, landing in a frothy puddle under a gnarled, arthritic oak tree.

It was all over in less than a minute.

Another temblor here in this speck of a Central California town dubbing itself “Earthquake Capital of the World”?

Nah, just the rodeo in town for a rollicking Memorial Day weekend, the raucous crowd responding to nothing less than controlled chaos during an arena event called Cowboy Doctoring, in which nine rope-wielding cowboys astride horses try to mark recalcitrant calves with the clock ticking. Quite the spectacle.

But thoughts naturally turn to movement, seismically speaking, in Parkfield, located at the very heart of the 810-mile-long San Andreas Fault.

Surrounded by the Cholame Hills, 25 miles northeast of Paso Robles, this tawny and, currently,

Parkfield residents Dave Richards and Geoff Tuck ride their bikes across the San Andreas fault from the Pacific Plate to the North American Plate in Parkfield, Calif. The San Andreas fault runs under this bridge through the town of Parkfield, the self-dubbed “earthquake centre” of the state. parched valley floor is famous—or maybe notorious—as the most geologically active stretch of the state’s most active fault.

About once every 22 years, this spot where the Pacific and North American plates meet and rub shoulders endures some serious shaking: 6.0-magnitude quakes, on average, the most recent in 2004.

USGS seismologists have taken notice and set up field stations to monitor that movement, even drilling a bore hole to place sensitive equipment that notes every shift and sway, every iota of frisson that might help researchers better understand the ground beneath our feet.

Except for a beige U.S. Geological Survey trailer as you hit town, nothing suggests the extent of study taking place. And, really, there’s nothing

stark photos to be taken, like the exposed zipper farther south at Carrizo Plain National Monument.

Yet, Parkfield has turned what might be a liability—think about it, who would choose to hang out at a veritable earthquake Ground Zero?

—into a cute marketing gambit.

This place with no stop signs—and, weekdays, more cattle than people —draws hundreds on weekends, especially during the summers and fall.

They pass by a water tower proclaiming the “Earthquake Capital of the World,” eat the “Shakin’ Burger” and “Magnitude 6” steak at the Parkfield Cafe, hole up in the Parkfield Lodge, whose come-on is to “Sleep Here When It Happens.”

They aren’t coming for the unlikely event of an earthquake, and

most visitors don’t bother to grab the handout detailing a “self-guided” fault walking tour.

No, they come because Jack Varian, 79-yearold cattle rancher and cowboy impresario, has lured them with “experiences.”

He and wife Zera, and their brood of four children and nine grandchildren, run cattle drives for people participating in a duderanch weekend.

He rents out a good chunk of his V6 Ranch (“20,000 Acres of Freedom” the slick brochure reads) to horsemanship workshops, family-oriented cowboy academies, the seemingly mixed-messaged “Richard Winters All Women’s Horsemanship Retreat,” Western artisan boutique fairs and two big attractions in May, the annual bluegrass festival and the Parkfield Rodeo.

On the recent rodeo weekend, Parkfield was an epicentre of cowboy culture.

Hundreds spilled out of the cafe into the park and children’s play structure, including hard-bodied guys in tall hats who casually pinched longneck beers between thumb and forefinger of one hand and wrapped the other around the waist of cowgirls seemingly summoned directly from a country-radio ditty.

Pickup trucks and horses shared parking spaces. Free-range children and dogs scampered along the dusty roads, giddy at being unleashed.

Down by the arena, commerce held sway with booths selling designer jeans from Booty House Couture, kettle corn and funnel cakes and $3 Coors Light beers, smoothies and chai tea for the city slickers, the

much to see of the actual fault itself.

It runs along a mostly dry creek bed shaggy with riparian foliage, which obscures the slightly differing rocks on each bank.

The iron bridge that crosses the creek—the only way into town—is only slightly bent, after highway road crews repaired it several years ago.

A sign at one end states, “Now Entering North American Plate,” while on the other side, heading west, a sign states “Now Entering Pacific Plate.”

Really, though, there’s nothing dramatic here that screams “earthquake zone,” nothing to make you want to summon Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson and his rescue helicopter to swoop down and save you, as in the new film, “San Andreas,” not even any

weight-loss supplement Plexus Worldwide, saddle pads, hay tubes and farriers insurance.

“Everybody always comes out for the rodeo, because it’s a great family weekend,” said Heather Martinez, of Shandon, 25 miles south.

“It’s awesome how they made a big deal out of the earthquake thing and turned it into an Old West town. You don’t expect something this big out here.”

Probably the only person who expected it was the man who envisioned it.

Varian was raised to think big. His father, Sigurd, invented the klystron tube, which made radar possible, and developed one of the first high-tech companies in Silicon Valley.

But Jack gravitated south, to the rolling hills of interior Monterey County, establishing himself as a cattle rancher.

It was in the mid1980s, with the combination of a drought and the return of his postcollege-age children, that he got to thinking big. As in The Big One. “I thought, here’s Parkfield, it’s got earthquakes, it’s got history,” Varian said.

“Cholame is an Indian term and it means ‘The Pretty One.’ And the valley is so beautiful, I asked myself, ‘Would one per cent of the 30 million

travel ____________________________________________________________________ RENTALS FOR TOURISTS

Airbnb’s success starting to annoy the neighbours Tim Logan Airbnb started with three air mattresses on the floor of a San Francisco apartment.

Seven years later, it’s worth as much as Marriott.

The short-term rental giant, which connects travelers with spare bedrooms or entire homes, has raised enough investor money to value the company at $20 billion. Airbnb “hosts” now list 1.2 million rentals worldwide.

Now the Silicon Valley company finds itself caught between investors’ appetite for fast growth and rising protests over its effect on neighbourhoods and hotel jobs.

The company’s swift rise has come in a regulatory gray zone, avoiding the strict rules governing hotels or traditional landlords.

Airbnb continues to promote an image of helping mom-and-pop homeowners raise a little extra cash, but its platform has drawn far bigger operators who buy properties to rent out fulltime.

That’s brought both profits and headaches, particularly as the company considers an initial public offering that could bring even more pressure for growth.

US cities from New York to Santa Monica are trying to figure out how best to zone, tax and oversee this new industry. As they do, they’re getting an earful from hotel workers’ unions worried about the effect on their jobs, housing advocates worried about a shortage of affordable apartments, and neighbors wary of strangers on their block every day.

Airbnb has responded with a battalion of lobbyists, especially in big states such as California and New York, along with beefed-up PR operations.

It has hired veterans of Silicon Valley, the Obama administration and big labor unions.

To Nathan Blecharczyk, one of the trio of Airbnb co-founders who still run the company today, these are good problems to have.

It was just seven years ago that his friends Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia laid out those air

Now, every night, 400,000 people use their website to do something similar.

Like Google and Uber, Airbnb has even achieved that emblem of digital age ubiquity: Its name has become a verb.

But for the company’s many critics, these questions cut to the core of Airbnb’s business model, and in some ways to the entire concept of the so-called sharing economy, which includes rising car-sharing giants such as Uber that also

face vexing regulatory battles.

To Steve Unger, a Portland, Ore., innkeeper who writes a blog on the short-term rental industry, it’s like Airbnb is two companies.

One is what Unger calls “Good Airbnb.” That’s a website that enables people to rent out spare bedrooms for extra cash and meet interesting travelers over homemade pancakes. This is what you see in the company’s ads and hear from the hosts Airbnb brings to testify at public hearings.

Then there’s “Bad

Airbnb,” a platform that allows landlords to easily rent whole apartments or homes to a parade of strangers, taking them off the traditional housing market entirely. They operate as unlicensed hotels where who-knowswhat might happen, and nobody seems to be responsible.

“I’d like to see the Good Airbnb flourish,” he said. “I’d like to see the Bad Airbnb go away.”

The thing is, Bad Airbnb makes a lot of money. The company charges a nine to 15 per cent fee on each listing, making bigger rentals a lot more profitable.

The company has a fine line to walk between getting right with the law and squelching its own growth, especially if it plans to go public.

Any successful public stock offering would hinge on continued rapid growth. At $20 billion, the company’s purported valuation is already a rich sum for the market to swallow, said Sam Hamedah, chief executive of PrivCo, a private company research firm.

Airbnb’s closest publicly traded rival, vacation rental site Homeaway, clocks in at less than $3

“The problem was, (the town) was really just a dump. Right where we’re sitting (the cafe) was a house that had a big oak tree laying over it.

“Across the road (where the lodge now sits) were a couple of trailers only. City Hall was in disrepair. A lot of empty lots were for sale. I bought ‘em.”

A few years later, when oldest son John

graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and “decided Parkfield wasn’t the worst place to live,” according to Jack, father and son sought to prop up the ailing town.

First came the cafe, then the lodge, both designed and built

by John, a lodgepole furniture artisan.

Then the earthquake branding idea (“What’s that old saying about lemons and lemonade?”

Jack asked).

Then Katie, Jack and Zera’s oldest, and a professional barrel racer,

started the rodeo. Then inspiration came to Jack at a movie theater in Paso Robles.

“That’s what really started it all—‘City Slickers,’” said Varian, referring to the 1991 Billy Crystal movie. “I leaned over to my wife and said, ‘You know, we can do that.’”

Eventually, people started coming to him, asking him to put on events.

The Parkfield Bluegrass Festival brings in more than 1,000 “pickers and pluckers” every Mother’s Day Weekend.

A mountain bike race is held each summer in the hills above the ranch. The dude ranch draws, well, lots of dudes.

“We’ve been coming (to the rodeo) for 20 years,” said Skip Brown of Sherman Oaks, “and we probably wouldn’t have known about this great place without it.”

Most locals support Varian’s efforts. Many, after all, are employed by him.

But several longtime residents, including Joe

and Jacquita Jensen, say their peaceful valley has been overrun.

“Too many people come here, far as I’m concerned,” Jacquita said, whose business is Parkfield Quakey Shakey Eggs.

“I don’t like the rodeo.

I don’t like the bluegrass.

I don’t like the weddings, parties, what not.

“It goes on all summer long. We have to put up with the riff-raff and loud noise.”

Varian isn’t exactly quaking in his boots over the criticism.

“In order for this family to stay in business, the first thing you gotta do is pay the bills,” he said.

“If this rodeo helps pay the bills, then I really can’t worry too much about a person who’s inconvenienced once in a while.”

Same could be said for the tectonic relationship between Parkfieldians and their environment.

An occasional seismic shudder may be an inconvenience, but they’ve learned to roll with it.

ANNE McCLYMONT ELEMENTARY Imagination, Motivation & Inspiration in Mrs. Cairns class

By Minhyung

AME is excited about this new journey, developing the leadership abilities of our students, helping each child become leaders of their own learning and life, incorporating the 7 Habits into our daily instruction, and providing multiple leadership opportunities in every classroom and throughout our school for students.

When I grow up I want to be a scientist. I want to experiment with things about the universe and finally one day I will go to space! I want to do those things because science and experimenting is fun.

I want to solve the mystery about what happens after being sucked up in a black hole. Many people say that it will break into endless small pieces but it is just a theory so I’ll find out. The person who inspires me is Steven Hawking. He kept on solving mysteries about the universe even though he has a disease. That is why he inspires me.

“We only get one chance to prepare our students for a future that none of us can possibly predict.

What are we going to do with that one chance?” ~ Stephen R. Covey For more information about the Leader in Me see www.TheLeaderInMe.org

Practicing the Seven Habits in Kindergarten

Mrs. Person’s Kindergarten class has been learning and practicing all seven habits of the Leader in Me. When reading Fairy Tales, they discovered that the characters really could have benefited from learning the habits themselves! Here is how the conversation went: Question: How could Goldilocks and the Three Bears have turned the story around to make it a “Win Win” ending?

“She could have waited and then the bears would have invited her in for a play date. That would be win win. “ Question: We know that being proactive means being in charge of yourself. How could Red Riding Hood have been more proactive?

“She made a lot of bad choices. You should always listen to your mother.”

Gr 4 Wax Museum of Heroes

Richard Sherman is proactive.

Richard Sherman gave it all that he got, everything he had in him. He believed in himself even when no one believed in him. He was so determined, he got the work done. He did the right thing when no one was watching although you might think he is mean and terrifying on the field, he is a man of integrity and community off the field.

Question: How could the Three Little Pigs have synergized?

“They could invite him in for supper and cook him something like turkey or fish but not pig.”

Question: How would seeking first to understand and then be understood have helped the Three Billy Goats Gruff?

“They could bring him a picnic. Then he would not be hungry and maybe he would let them cross the bridge.”

Richard Sherman set goals like this: First I need to get a good education. Then I need to play high school and college football but still get an education. Then I got to calm down for the NFL draft.

Then onto the Seattle Seahawks. I got to get to the Super bowl!

Now I am the best quarterback in the league! This is how he made a difference. He has a charity called “Blanket Coverage.” He tells people in the world never to give up!

Alexandra Straub

Welcome to o the drive driver’s ve er’s seat

Visit the 2016 Mazda MX-5 gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca

More love for that tiny two-door

Question of the Week

Los Angeles, Ca – The Law about its 155 horseof Attraction suggests that power and 148 lb-ft of we invite things into our torque from its 2.0 L lives that we project – or four-cylinder, and argue “like attracts like.” that’s not nearly enough For instance, if we’re power. positive people, I believe Through its renaissance, positive people will then it loses 12 horsepower The MX-5 is a car but gains eight 10 lb-ft gravitate to us.

Perhaps it’s because of a that can make you of torque compared long-standing history, or feel like a hero, or a to the outgoing 2015 love of the Mazda MX-5, champion without MX-5.

I will off my face when I have agree that 155 horsethis two-door as a companion on a power isn’t a shocking number, and yes, journey along the sinuous and slender it could have a little more gusto, but roads of southern California. that doesn’t mean it’s devoid of flavour It sparked girlhood feelings of giddiness and flair. and excitement as I shifted through the The beauty of the MX-5 is that it’s still gears of the new and lighter six-speed a driver’s car.

Ten-fold. Perhaps more. of life and still have a blast behind One can look at the specs sheet, gripe the wheel.

What is your favourite convertible of all time and why?

‘‘

’’

That’s solidified with the fourth generation.

Without getting too technical, dimensionally, it has changed. It’s actually smaller – the overhangs in the front and rear don’t hang as much – yet space is used even more efficiently inside. The driver sits lower, and so does the engine.

I’m not a particularly tall individual, but my driving partner, an above average height male, didn’t find himself as cramped as he thought he would be. Even when we put the top up, claustrophobia was nowhere to be found.

And speaking of top up driving, cabin noise is reduced significantly. Thanks to an aluminum front panel and insulating headliner, wind noise is cut by 40 per wwcent.

With the top down, engineers have used their wizardry – or in this case, scientific knowhow – to keep cabin wind at bay and to allow conversations to be carried on without having to yell. And without too much hair being blown around. Side note: ladies, bring a hair tie just in case.

Perhaps MX-5 admirers should also bring their sunglasses, because this front-engine, rear-wheel drive car is hot. Hot meaning sexy. And sexy in regards to its styling.

The MX-5 fully embraces the Kodo or “Soul of Motion” design language that inspires clean and crisp lines on new and future Mazda products.

You won’t find hard edges on this car, but you will find a flowing form that is highly attractive at a standstill.

While the looks of a car are essential, it’s not what the MX-5 relies on for its cult-like following. It’s the drive.

The MX-5 is a car that can make you feel like a hero, or a champion without breaking too many road rules.

It’s a car whose steering, suspension and transmission work so seamlessly together with the driver that it requires effort not to enjoy yourself.

If the Laws of Attraction are yet again on my side, the 2016 Mazda MX-5 and I will cross paths again. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 (the GX trim) has a starting MSRP of $31,900. The GS has an MSRP of $35,300 and the GT of $39,200. All three trims can be outfitted with the six-speed manual or the six-speed automatic for the same price.

Safety Tip: With school out for the summer, more children will be playing outside. As drivers, use extra caution and watch your speed, especially near playgrounds, parks and in residential areas.

Playground speed limits remain in effect year-round.

Hyundai Elantra GT serves fun with functionality

By Neil Moore Once the cheap-and-cheerful alternative to Japanese and Euro compacts, Elantra has truly stepped up to the podium.

This Hyundai is no longer the one you turn to when funds are a bit tight.

This rise in perception isn’t model specific, as the entire company line-up has been repositioned over the past several years.

Build quality continues to rise, styling has evolved from drab to chic, content lists have grown even at entry level and products have been introduced to showcase Hyundai s premium intentions.

Case in point is the award-winning Genesis Sedan ($43,000 to $63,000) and the luxurious Equus flagship that tops out north of $70K. Even the more affordable Genesis Coupe has dropped its four-cylinder option; further evidence the brand is serious about going upmarket.

Elantra GT, my tester for the week, is a compact hatchback that lines up with Golf, Focus and Mazda3 Sport, illustrating my point that Hyundai is no longer the value-priced rival.

Especially when you consider my ride s $27,099 price tag (plus freight and taxes) that is well beyond starter budgets.

Of course, that s the all-in limited version, which puts few limits on content.

Top trim models get leather seats with heating up front and eight-way power adjust for the driver.

Infotainment is managed on a seven-inch touchscreen, which also displays navigation and rearview camera.

Other features include two-zone automatic climate control, smart key with pushbutton start, seventeen-inch alloys, and a massive panoramic sunroof.

Some of these perks also come at lower levels, and even the base L model ($18,449 with six-speed manual) gets a reasonable equipment list that includes air conditioning, power windows, tilt/telescopic steering, six speaker audio, six-way manual driver s seat, and even a cooled glove box.

Key items like Bluetooth, remote keyless entry and cruise control are missing, however, making the GL ($19,749 manual/ $20,999 with sixspeed auto) a better bet.

Regardless of model, all Elantra GTs get a 2.0-litre four cylinder with gasoline direct injection, producing 173 hp and 154 lb/ft of torque.

It’s a hearty step up from the 1.8 that used to power this vehicle, and provides more ponies than many competitors base engines.

Punch the throttle and the GT s 1,385 kg curb weight launches swiftly, with ample power on tap for highway passing.

You’ll get more from this engine s powerband with the six-speed manual gearbox (available in L, GL and GLS trim), but Limited comes only with the six-speed automatic with Shiftronic.

This transmission is smooth and quiet, even under hard throttle.

Slide the gear lever to the

Its three settings, Comfort, Normal and Sport, are consistent with the amount of power assist more for Comfort, less for Sport.

I prefer the latter, which requires significantly effort than the other two, but at the same time provides a better sense of resistance in the corners and feel of the road.

right, where you can bump it for reasonably quick up and downshifts.

Hyundai does offer an Eco setting, which dulls throttle response and remaps the transmission to shift earlier and more often.

I seldom used it, but it s there for those wanting to wring the most from each drop of fuel.

Making more of an impression is the Driver Selectable Steering Mode.

Because Elantra GT is based on Hyundai s European i30 hatchback, (and tuned for their market) it delivers a more driver-focused experience than its coupe and sedan siblings.

Suspension is MacPherson struts with stabilizer bar in front, and a lightweight coupled torsion beam in rear.

The GT also gets higher rear spring rates, a stiffer twist beam and dampers for reduced body roll.

Hence, the ride is firmer than in other Elantras, but not unpleasantly so, working nicely with all of the above to deliver nimble handling.

The GT may not be a hot hatch, but it s no family plodder.

Some find the cabin styling a bit dated, but that s a minor gripe considering the sensible and intuitive placement of functions on the centre stack.

Everything just makes sense, be it HVAC controls or the touchscreen infotainment system.

I like being able to hop in and drive, without the added hassle of poring through a user s manual to figure out things like navigation and Bluetooth pairing.

Being a hatchback, it does outshine its coupe and sedan siblings when hauling cargo.

Hockey bags, golf bags, a big screen TV or couple of bikes will ride in back, thanks to a 651-litre trunk that can expand to 1,444 litres. Just flip the rear seat cushions forward and the 60/40 seatbacks will drop for a flat cargo floor.

Such practicality dovetails nicely with the car s Euro handling and fresh exterior, making the GT a top contender among hatchbacks, and a fuel-efficient alternative to the compact SUV.

Quiet arrival for 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander good road manners, not to mention the outstanding 10year/160,000 km powertrain warranty, make it more than a viable candidate for your next CUV buying consideration.

by Jim Robinson

The 2016 Mitsubishi Outlander comes at a time when the company is truly at a crossroads in Canada.

While it is one of the smallest mainstream car brands here, it is a major player around the world where its vehicles are known for being tough and reliable.

Although Mitsubishi products were sold in Canada as far back as the 1970s badged as Dodges like the Dodge Colt compact sedan and wagon, Mitsubishi was not established as an autonomous brand in this country until 2002.

Trying to compete against the likes of Honda, Toyota and Nissan who have been here decades longer, not to mention the domestic carmakers, was a daunting challenge, but Mitsubishi has persevered.

And with not the widest range of products (no pickups and no minivans), Canadians are starting the notice the brand in increasing numbers.

For example, this was reflected in 2014 sales figures that saw record sales for a 7.6 per cent increase over 2013.

And this year joining the 2016 Outlander will be a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) Outlander version.

And that will be followed by the new Mirage G4 sedan plus extensive changes to the Lancer compact sedan and the RVR compact CUV. The 2016 Outlander comes in three trim levels starting with the ES in front or allwheel drive; and mid-trim SE and topline GT, both with AWD. The ES ($25,998-$31,998) is a two-row, five-seater, while the SE ($31,198-$32,798) and GT ($36,498-$38,498) are both a three-row, seven-seater.

The ES is equipped with a 2.4-litre SOHC, inline four-cylinder producing 166

(Mitsubishi Outlander CUV 2016 at a glance) BODY STYLE: Compact crossover utility vehicle DRIVE METHOD: front-engine, front-/all-wheel-drive ENGINE: 2.4-litre SOHC, inline four-cylinder (166 hp, 162 lb/ft), CVT transmission;

The SE and GT get a 3.0-litre SOHC V6 with 224 hp and 215 lb/ft of torque with a six-speed automatic transmission.

Estimated fuel consumption on the 2.4-litre (regular) for the FWD is 9.2/7.5/7.4L/100 km city/ highway/combined and for the AWD, 9.7/8.1/9.0L/100 km. The SE and GT (premium recommended) come in at 11.9/8.5/10.4L/100 km.

When properly equipped, towing for the ES is 1,500 lb and 3,500 lb for the V6.

Cargo for the ES is 968 litres (34.2 cu ft) behind the second row and 1,792 litres (63.3 cu ft) second row folded.

The numbers are the same for SE and GT models, except there is 292 litres of space (10.3 cu ft) behind the third row.

To aid in loading, the rear tailgate is now 37 mm (1.5 in) higher when opened.

Interestingly, the Outlander is now the only compact CUV with a V6 engine, while the rest of the segment is gravitating to turbo four-cylinders.

And while Mitsubishi is mindful it wants to grow its four-cylinder business, about 70 per cent of Outlander

sales are the V6, probably because of the power.

At the press launch in San Francisco, Mitsubishi Canada made a big deal about the fact a third of the more than 100 changes for 2016 involved noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).

And to prove the point, they had a mix of 2015 and 2016 models with Mitsu Canada officials promising journalists would notice a dramatic difference.

With things such as sound insulators inside the front fenders, sponge filling, in addition to weather stripping on the doors and sound insulators under the floor, there was no question the 2016 was much quieter, particularly at highway speeds.

But ride and handling has also been improved with the front MacPherson strut suspension with re-tuned shocks and a reinforced front crossbar.

At the rear, the multi-link/coil spring setup saw changes to the spring rate and damping.

For 2016, the Outlander actually offers two all-wheeldrive (AWD) systems, the first with three driver selectable modes.

4WD Eco is the most efficient, sending most power to front wheels but moving grip

back when needed. 4WD Auto is for everyday driving, while 4WD Lock is for high traction demands like snow and mud.

Mitsubishi S-AWC (Super All Wheel Control) is found on the topline trim levels and comes with four modes AWC Eco, Normal, Snow and Lock.

The available Forward Collision Mitigation system uses radar to gauge potential for a crash.

Also available is Adaptive Cruise Control with the driver being able to select three distances—far, medium and short.

It is also fully equipped with the latest safety technology such as stability control, traction control, brake override, brake force distribution, brake assist and hill start assist.

On a lovely drive down from San Francisco to Santa Cruz, my driving partner and I were hard pressed to find any deficiency, but nothing surfaced.

If there is anything wrong, it’s Mitsubishi not tooting its horn loud enough, which is understandable when you take in all the compact CUVs competing for consumer attention.

But its solid build quality and

The book signings will take place Saturday, June 27, 1 to 3 p.m., at Mosaic Books, corner of Bernard and Ellis in downtown Kelowna; and Saturday, July 11, 1 to 3 p.m. at Chapters in Orchard Park Shopping Centre. l Author Peter Richard’s new novel claims to tell the true story about vampires.

ART EXHIBIT Pieces OF What outdoor exhibit starts Friday, July 3 Kelowna Art Gallery 1315 Water St.

outdoor installation at the Kelowna Art Gallery. The installation is the third in the art gallery’s Artist’s Garden Project series, mounted in the Rotary Courtyard space.

Vernon-based artists Carolina Sanchez de Bustamante and her adult son Maxwell Sterry have collaborated to create a piece that features three tall translucent columns strung with brightly painted red, yellow, and orange spherical objects made from clean trash.

Visitors will no doubt see some familiar objects in the debris collected at the base of the columns or in the various articles captured and suspended mid-air.

At the edges of the courtyard space (surrounding the columns in the centre) are selfirrigating containers painted in vibrant

colours and planted with vegetables and fruits.

At the end of the growing season, visitors will be welcome to harvest the produce.

Whether pondering environmental themes, the architectural elements, or simply reveling in the strangeness of the show, guests are invited to sit and contemplate the installation on two simple benches, also made from recycled materials.

The show is accompanied by an online resource that features an essay by art gallery curator Liz Wylie, biographies of the artists, and also a photo album of installation images that will be added to throughout the year-long duration of the exhibition.

An opening reception to celebrate this exhibition will be held

Friday, July 3, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Kelowna Art Gallery.

This will be a free event, open to members and guests, by invitation.

The artists will be in attendance and will offer remarks in the garden at 7:30 pm.

For the first time, two students in the troupe, Dharma Ayla and Andrea Sorestad, have choreographed the entire show.

To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tonynominated top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on the Billboard charts and has sold over 15 million copies) and augmented with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, Footloose celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind.

entertainment_____________________________ EVENTS FROM B6 Theatre 1375 Water St. KeyNote Productions and Train Wreck Comedy have teamed-up once again to bring Kelowna another great live comedy show—this time it’s two best friends and comedic rivals Kenny vs. Spenny will be live in Kelowna for one night only in a live headto-head competition to see who will be crowned champion and who will be forced to face major public humiliation.

Kenneth “Kenny” Joel Hotz and Spencer “Spenny” Nolan Rice are lifelong friends, who challenged each other in various ways for years before they decided to film structured competitions and introduce consequences for losing.

Kenny and Spenny have contrasting personalities, which have an impact on the way they approach each competition.

Kenny: A witty, wisecracker and brilliant schemer. Kenny’s a goofball looking for a shortcut. He loves to humiliate Spenny and will do anything to win.

Spenny: A stressed out, neurotic, short-fused adult-type who believes in preparation and hard work. He’s responsible, often angry, introspective, paranoid and ethical.

Just like the television show, the live event will feature challenges that are ridiculous, immature and totally intense. It can only end with one winner. The winner of the competition will assign a “humiliation”, a very embarrassing task that the loser must perform.

Tickets are available through selectyourtickets.com, in person at the Prospera Place box office or by phone at 250-760-5050.

CONCERT Aerosmith Friday, July 13 Prospera Place Kelowna 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.

Jurassic World broke the $200 million opening gross plateau for a weekend opening but still fell short of the domestic box office standard set by The Avengers.

But Jurassic World producers can take some solace in breaking the worldwide opening weekend gross record by taking in more than $500 million.

The previous record holder for that category had been Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2.

And even though it faces competition from the latest Disney/Pixar movie, look for Jurassic World to again hang on to the number one spot this weekend.

While Pixar Animation is known for releasing one movie a year, it has been two years since the release of the studio’s last blockbuster, Monsters

CONTRIBUTED

Pixar animation goes Inside Out

In Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out, this is what a young girl’s emotions look like (left to right): Sadness (voiced by Phyllis Smith), Anger (voiced by Lewis Black), Disgust (voiced by Mindy Kaling), Joy (voiced by Amy Poehler) and in the back, Fear (voiced by Bill Hader).

University.

The Good Dinosaur, originally scheduled to be released last summer, is now set for November, due to production delays.

But today will mark the opening of Inside Out, an attempt to extend Pixar’s winning streak for success, and according to critics they have succeeded.

Inside Out is directed

by Pete Doctor, the man behind Monsters, Inc. and Up. He and his imaginative team have raised the animation bar once again with this unique and entertaining exploration of human emotions.

It is the story of a young girl who, like all

Movie Guy

RICK DAVIS of us, are guided by emotions: Joy (voiced

by Amy Poehler), Fear (voiced by Bill Hader), Anger (voiced by Lewis Black), Disgust (voiced

by Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (voiced by Phyllis Smith).

All of these emotions are put to the test when an 11-year-old Riley (voiced by Kaitlyn Dias) is forced to move with her family from the US Midwest to San Francisco

where her father (voiced by Kyle MacLachlan) starts a new job.

Confused and lonely, Riley’s emotions bicker and battle as they try to adapt to her new life.

When Joy and Sadness journey far from “headquarters” in search of a key memory, the battle within and between the emotional elements sends Riley into a tailspin.

Pixar has also included their usual animated short film preceding the feature called Lava.

PANCAKES FOR PUPPIES

With Jurassic World and Inside Out together ruling the box office this weekend, there is nothing else new coming out this weekend.

However, Paramount Theatre will offer a chance to see a movie that has been popular with critics.

I’ll See You In My Dreams is described as a vibrant, funny, and heartfelt film about a widow and former songstress who discovers that life can begin anew at any age. With the support of three loyal girlfriends (June Squibb, Rhea Perlman, and Mary Kay Place), Carol (Blythe Danner) decides to embrace the world, embarking on an unlikely friendship with her pool maintenance man (Martin Starr), pursuing a new love interest (Sam Elliott) and reconnecting with her daughter (Malin Akerman).

I’ll See You In My Dreams will be shown Thursday, June 26. For more information, check out landmarkcinemas.com/paramount-kelowna.

Fundraiser aids small dog rescue society In association with the Centre for Arts and Technology, an event called Pancakes For Puppies will take place Saturday in support of the Okanagan Small Dog Rescue Society.

This fundraiser will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m, at Mission Creek Park on Springfield Road in Kelowna.

Pancakes for Puppies will include a pancake breakfast, carnival games, and a dog agility demonstration.

Special guest presenter dog trainer Brad Pattison will be on site to answer questions and give an informational talk.

People who attend can also check out the local businesses at

the vendor fair in the park.

The Okanagan Small Dog Rescue takes in dogs all around the Okanagan, deals with their medical and behavioural needs and places them in foster care until a permanent home can be found.

The OSDR does not put animals down, as the society

believes no dog should die for lack of medical care.

The Okanagan (Central) Small Dog Rescue is 100 per cent volunteer run and donation funded.

All donations to the rescue go towards the care of the rescue dogs.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has released its report for 2014. The scientiďŹ c consensus of that report is clear and overwhelming. Climate change is now set to have a severe, widespread impact on people and nature. Our grandchildren face very uncertain futures.

As elders in our society, we, the undersigned, present this petition. Its message is simple. We are concerned about our grandchildren. We call for immediate, effective action to reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions.

We encourage grandparents across the land to speak up for their grandchildren, and to vote for politicians committed to making Canada a leader in the struggle to limit global climate change. ,Q OLJKW RI WKH FRPLQJ IHGHUDO HOHFWLRQ ZH DUH VHQGLQJ WKLV SHWLWLRQ WR HDFK RI WKH IHGHUDO SROLWLFDO SDUWLHV DQG ZH UHTXHVW WKHLU XQHTXLYRFDO UHVSRQVH LGHQWLI\LQJ FOLPDWH DFWLRQ SROLFLHV WKH\ ZRXOG LPSOHPHQW :H XUJH \RX RXU IHOORZ %ULWLVK &ROXPELDQV WR WDNH XS WKH FDXVH RI JUHHQKRXVH JDV UHGXFWLRQ

MARGARET (PEGGY) MCKENZIE (nee Wise) After winning a hard fought battle with cancer, Peggy succumbed to other illnesses on June 16, 2015 on her 59th wedding anniversary, and is finally at peace. She is survived by her husband, Stanley, three sons, Doug, Glen (Karen) and Gord (Sue) and one grandson, Collin (Sylvie) as well as brothers-in-law Harry and George and extended family.

She will be lovingly remembered by her family and her many close friends.Peggy was born and raised in Winnipeg. She was an active choir member of the Atlantic Avenue United Church. She had begun a ten year career at the Bank of Nova Scotia when she met and married Stan. Family and children became the priority and, once the boys were in school, she volunteered in school libraries for nine years. Later, she spent ten years working part-time for the Canada Revenue Agency.

Most recently, she assisted Stan with volunteer duties for the Retired Federal Superannuates.

Spending time with friends and family was always important to Peggy as was bowling, a sport she enjoyed for 30 years.

Peggy loved to create personalized cards on her computer for family and friends and always made a point of keeping in touch through several family moves across the country.

Camping trips with Stan and the boys provided some of her fondest memories. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Sindi Ahluwalia Hawkins Centre for the Southern Interior, the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, or a charity of your choosing.

In accordance with her wishes, cremation has already taken place and there will be a private service for immediate family. Stan and the family would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff of both the Kelowna General Hospital and the Cancer Centre for the Southern Interior for the professional and compassionate care she received while in their care. Stan would like to specifically thank Dr. Wadhwa for her very professional and caring advice.
