Fiscal woes derail health care centre Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A development aimed at putting Westbank First Nation on the map as a pioneer in private Canadian health care is mired in financial and political controversy.

At a press conference aimed at quelling growing concerns among businesses operating on WFN lands that there are insurmountable problems stemming from a would-be private health care centre, Chief Robert Louie asserted there are still plans to see a”medically-themed development” on

It just won’t be of the same scope and scale that was previously presented. Nor will it be happening anytime soon.

Seeing it through, he told reporters Thursday, is one of the reasons he’s even running. “I believe in some shape or form, once all of the review has taken place and all the information is on the table, our members will come to the conclusion that a medically-themed development would be the way to go if we want to be involved in something that has long-lasting generation of revenues, jobs, employment and all those good things,” said Louie.

Turning up the heat on need to conserve water The Okanagan Basin Water Board (OBWB) is urging local residents to do their part to conserve water and help prevent a provincial declaration of Level 4 Drought in the Okanagan.

“We are at Level 3 Drought. The entire south coast and southern Vancouver Island is in Drought 4, and watersheds around us are under review,” noted Anna Warwick Sears, OBWB executive director.

“We’re appealing to the public to observe

the Province of B.C.’s request for a 30 per cent reduction in water use.”

Many Okanagan utilities are still on odd/ even watering days, added Sears.

For residential users to conserve 30 per cent, that can be achieved by moving to two-days/week watering restrictions.

And if you must water outdoors, more efficient water conservation tips can be found at the website MakeWaterWork. ca.

“The water board and

its Okanagan WaterWise program, together with local governments and utilities throughout our valley, launched its annual outdoor water conservation campaign, Make Water Work, early this year, recognizing that the forecast was for a long, hot, dry summer,” Sears added.

“The year began with a low snowpack, and then an early spring melt, and then our June ‘monsoon season’ never came.

“Now, with low stream flows and warm water

The fact is that Okanagan Lake only fills 1.5 metres per year in a normal year, and that’s what water managers have to work with—ensuring enough water for fish, crops, institutional use, open space and residents.

“We can’t take out more than is replenished,” said Sears.

“To do that would be to ‘mine’ the lake, creating problems like the ones faced by communities that rely on Lake Mead in Nevada

temperatures we are hearing of fish kills. We are also seeing the effects of dry conditions with an upsetting number of fires.”

Looking out at the dry hills of the Okanagan, Sears tackled some of the questions that come up when people are asked to conserve.

One is that people look at the Okanagan and other lakes and can’t believe a water shortage is possible. This is referred to as the Myth of Abundance.

monitor their use.

Residential outdoor watering accounts for the second highest use of all water in the Okanagan (24 per cent). At the same time, there is less water available per person in the Okanagan than anywhere in Canada.

“Considering most of the residential water used outdoors is used on lawns, which are mostly for cosmetic use, this is where you and I can make a difference and Make Water Work,” said Sears.

Water conservation tips • Water plants, not pavement • Water between dusk and dawn • Let your lawn grow two to three inches (5-8 cms) tall Leave lawn 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) tall • Leave grass clippings as mulch • Top dress with compost • Change out some lawn for drought-tolerant turf and native plants.

where the levels have been drawn down 125 feet below full-pool and water intakes are being drilled lower and lower.”

Another question that often comes up is farmers who water 24/7. Some have little choice if they have a large farm.

In that case, it may take a full 24 hours to water each part of their field, she explained.

Many farmers are doing a good job of conserving—having done the work to determine how much water is needed, how often.

She says some farmers have installed drip lines, but for others this is costprohibitive, or doesn’t work for certain crop types like forage.

Sears noted that while much of our water goes to crops, it should be recognized that water for food contributes to food security and our economy.

Most farmers are supplied by irrigation districts that work with their customers and

Stiffer penalties proposed

SHELTER COVE WILDFIRE

Aggressive wildfire reflects ‘new normal’

Kathy Michaels

kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

KATHY MICHAELS/CAPITAL NEWS

A smoky haze blanketing B.C. as flames engulf pockets of provincial forests could very well be “the new normal,” says B.C.’s premier.

As she toured through the Westside Road fire site, which as of Thursday was mapped at 460 hectares, Premier Christy Clark told reporters she fears that wildfires are increasing in strength and in number due to climate change and this year is far from being an anomaly.

“We’re going to see more homes threatened, more people’s livelihoods threatened, more forest resources lost,” she said.

“Climate change has altered the terrain and it’s made us much more vulnerable to fire…The earth is very dry and I think that we have to be planning with the knowledge that this isn’t going to be an unusual year.”

There have been 1,300 fires in B.C., burning more than 295,000 hectares and fighting them has come at a significant cost.

The provincial budget allotted for fires is decided on a five-year rolling total, Clark explained, and that amounted to somewhere in the area of $60 million.

This year’s firefighting efforts have soaked up far more, with the current tally somewhere in the area of $143 million.

Clark said it could amount to three times that figure by season’s end.

That said, budgets aren’t going to douse the effort put forth.

“We’re going to spend as much as is needed,”

Premier Christy Clark met with the Shelter Cove wildfire structural protection and forest fire firefighters on Wednesday afternoon at the Incident Command Centre set up on Westside Road. she said.

The Westside Road wildfire was started by a Sunday night lightning strike.

Helicopters had bucketed water on it, but it smouldered underground until Monday when winds whipped up flames and it rapidly spread across the hillside.

It has yet to be contained and continues to grow incrementally as conditions challenge firefighters.

Fire incident commander Glen Burgess said despite the fact the fire is growing, progress has been made.

“Our priority at this point is along Westside Road, protecting the homes and the values there,” Burgess said.

Air tankers and

bucketing helicopters supported BC Wildfire Service crews on the ground, and control lines established during this flare up are holding.

“Higher relative humidities, lighter winds and a cooling trend beginning today are decreasing fire behaviour and aiding suppression efforts,” said Jordan Turner, a fire information officer.

“Crews are working to reinforce and extend control lines on the north and south flanks by establishing handguard and fuel-free areas.

Crews will also begin to establish control lines on the west flank of the fire and continue to mop-up the area along Westside Road.”

In addition to the 70 homes that were

a rotating basis to customers. There are three rotations, each six hours long and providing power to 300 customers at a time. If system conditions permit, BC Hydro will add additional customers to these rotations.

BC Hydro is asking impacted customers to minimize their power usage until the wildfire has been contained and crews are able to fully repair the system. They aske you plug in and turn on only what is necessary.

The BC Wildfire Service continues to fight this blaze with firefighters and heavy equipment on the ground supported by four helicopters.

The fire area is located approximately 17 kilometers northwest of downtown Kelowna.

evacuated, there have been 1,000 BC Hydro customers out of power since Monday due to the fire.

BC Hydro crews are currently working on integrating the units into the power system and hope to have the units running on Friday.

Hydro says the temporary units will provide continuous electricity to the customers that are receiving power on a rotational basis and the La Casa subdivision.

Customers directly in the fire zone will remain without power until BC Hydro is permitted access to the area impacted by the fire.

Until the generating units are running, BC Hydro will continue to provide power on

Both the City of Kelowna and City of West Kelowna are located well away from the actual fire scene.

The Central Okanagan Regional District has issued an Evacuation Order for residences in the area, which affects 70 properties. More information is available at: www.cordemergency.ca.

The province may consider doling out stiffer penalties for those who start wildfires, given that nearly 40 per cent of fires in B.C. in the past 10 years have been sparked by people.

“People need to be thinking hard about their behaviour and the impact it can have,” Premier Christy Clark said.

Some options for penalties may include impounding the cars of those who have flicked cigarettes out their windows or started by idling with a hot muffler over dry grass.

Before anything is done, Clark said the province will consult with residents. Stiffer penalties for negligent or dangerous behaviours in B.C.’s woods is something the B.C. Forest Practices Board is also advocating for.

In a special investigation conducted by the B.C. Ministry of Forests’ for administrative proceedings between 2009 and 2014, it found that fewer than 10 per cent of 146 cases saw violators receive the maximum fine. Around 79 per cent of fines fell below $5,000.

While infractions involved weren’t serious enough to warrant full prosecution, the board concluded the administrative actions “are not effective in promoting compliance” within the industry, nor instilling public confidence in enforcement because penalties aren’t published.

structure probably isn’t the way to go,” he said.

Louie also pointed out that First Nations “are unique” and well set to lead the charge in Canada, when it comes to providing an alternate, for-profit stream of health care.

The Canada Health Act prohibits provinces from charging for medical services by threatening to withdraw federal transfer funds, but First Nations fall under the authority of the federal government, leaving nothing to stop them from setting up a private hospital.

Also, he said, the First Nation Health Authority has an agreement in place with the federal and provincial governments to move ahead with issues of this kind.

“Right now it’s administrative, but in the future it (can be for) addressing huge needs in this country,” he said.

Until then, the WFN is looking at a format that “takes the risk out.”

Risk is something he’s keenly aware of at the moment.

At the press conference, Louie explained the WFN is now in a position where they have to pay $8 million to the bank, or risk losing the land the project was set to be built on.

As plans for the health centre got underway, the WFN provided its partner Ad Vitam Healthcare with a parcel of land around 12 acres in size.

In exchange, Ad Vitam was supposed to raise the capital needed to construct the medical facility.

The trouble, explained Louie, is that Ad Vitam Healthcare drew funds from a $15 million line of credit that was on the property for various uses aimed at spurring the project’s growth.

Their efforts didn’t work and then Ad Vitam stopped paying the loan back, leaving the WFN holding the bag.

The WFN has “pots of money” in its reserves to pay the $7.9 million debt, said Louie, but it won’t do so until the option is taken to its membership in a referendum slated for next month.

“We’re not happy about that to say the least, however, the land is worth far more than that. The potential of the land is so huge it would be foolish to not get it back,” he said.

“We (will) get out of this mess…it may cause a little bit of membership dissension, but this is an honourable First Nation community.” @kelownanewsKAT

notice is issued, insurance clients will not be able to add comprehensive coverage or make any policy changes until the notice is lifted,” said Edge.

“This could leave them exposed to unexpected losses related to wildfires. It’s better to act now and ensure you’re adequately covered rather than leave anything to chance.”

With little respite to hot and dry conditions in sight, Edge says anyone living in an area likely to be impacted by a fire should contact their insurance provider immediately.

Lost in the attention paid to the Shelter Cove wildlife this week, forest firefighters have also been continuing to work on the Bear Creek Fire.

The evacuation alert for the Bear Creek Interface Fire has now been rescinded.

This includes all 80 properties from the intersection of Parkinson Road north, including Bear Creek Road, Bear Creek Main, Rose Valley Road, Petterson Road and Dougmac Road.

BC Wildfire Service firefighters will continue to monitor the fire while carrying out mop up procedures on the 100 per cent contained blaze.

For their safety, members of the public are asked to stay out of the fireaffected area and to obey all warning and hazards signs.

With smoke filling the skies above British Columbia and wildfires burning across the province, Valley First, a division of First West Credit Union, is reminding its insurance clients to review their home insurance policies.

“The threat of wildfire evacuation and, in the worst case scenario, property loss is all too real in the Interior,”said Valley First insurance manager Karen Edge.

“Anyone who is living in an area threatened by fire would be wise to review their home insurance policy to ensure they know exactly what, and for

how much, they’re covered for.”

Most home insurance policies with comprehensive coverage (a policy which includes a guaranteed replacement cost on your building provided policy subjects are met) provide protection for losses related to forest fire, says Edge.

However, many people don’t review their coverage levels or coverage types annually and may need to revise their coverage to prevent significant out-ofpocket expenses.

Aggressively pursuing a mandate the past two years to reduce crime in Kelowna has life harder for local criminals, says the Kelowna

RCMP detachment superintendent.

Nick Romanchuk gathered the local media Wednesday afternoon at the Doyle Street police headquarters to report that Kelowna’s Census Metropolitan Area police-

reported crimes ranking, number one for highest crime rate in 2012, now sees the city ranked fourth out of the 33 CMA areas across Canada.

In 2013, the city had risen from the worst to number three in the

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

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

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

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

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

rankings, compiled by Statistics Canada.

The title for highest crime rate in the country for metropolitan areas with over 100,000 population now belongs to Saskatoon, followed by Regina and Vancouver.

“Two years ago, I was standing in this very spot to discuss why Kelowna had the highest crime rate among the Census Metropolitan Area participants. Since then, our members have worked hard the past two years to direct our resources in an efficient manner to have a positive impact on reducing crime,” Romanchuk said.

“Our focus has been on prolific offenders, small groups of people responsible for the majority of crime in our city, and being relentless in charging these people

and bringing them to justice whenever possible.”

Romanchuk also noted that violent crime has seen an eight per cent decrease from last year, while drug related offences has increased.

Romanchuk said the drug crime arrest rate increase is actually a positive reflection of the Kelowna RCMP’s proactive stance on drug law enforcement.

“The high drug arrest statistics are linked to the amount of work we do,” he said, noting that CMA communities with a low drug crime rate are really a reflection of police departments not actively busting drug crime offenders.

“One of those individuals was very prolific, having 142 previous convictions,” Romanchuk said.

“Most of those people have been arrested, the remainder are being sought on arrest warrants. Six of them have been identified as mid-level drug traffickers.

“They range overall in age from late teens to early 50s, both male and female.

“Drugs seized have included heroin, cocaine, crack cocaine and crystal meth. As well, we also seized $3,000 in cash.”

That investigation also led police to uncover a bicycle chop shop that led to the arrest of two individuals and the recovery of 41 bicycle frames ranging in value from $500 to $5,000.

Cops ready for Centre of Gravity While it’s all hands on deck for the Kelowna RCMP detachment during the Centre of Gravity festivities this weekend, police are not expecting any serious trouble.

Kelowna RCMP Supt.

Nick Romanchuk said police will maintain a high profile presence in the downtown core and around the city this weekend.

“Last year was my first one,” Romanchuk said

referring to dealing with the Centre of Gravity crowds. “We saw a significant drop in police service calls last year from the previous year—about 300 to 500 less.”

He attributed that to the city forcing the festival organizers to move the event at City Park to the weekend before the August long weekend.

“I think that made an impact last year because the city is already jammed

full with tourists on the August long weekend anyway, so having this event then just added to that.”

Romanchuk said the police work closely with COG security within the festival grounds.

As to whether or not local residents should be discouraged from venturing downtown during the Centre of Gravity, Romanchuk downplayed such

concerns.

“I would encourage people to come downtown and enjoy the atmosphere,” he said.

“We had a pretty good system in place last year and before that, so we will just carry on with that, and we should be good.”

Police offered the following tips to those attending the outdoor festival at City Park: Hydrate, seek shade,

Tourist visitors can skewer crime stats CRIME FROM A6 the Kelowna drug trade as stolen bikes are often a commodity obtained for acquiring drugs.

Romanchuk said the CMA population mark is about 180,000 people for Kelowna, but close to 1.5 million tourists come to the Okanagan annually which he says can skewer the crime stats.

“People who come here affect our population and they can bring additional crime that we might not otherwise see,” he explained. “Based on how the CSA crime rate is calculated, we are limited by how far up the list we can go. I would like to see us out of the top five and if we can get somewhere in the five to 10 range, I think that is achievable and a reasonable expectation based on how the crime calculations are done.

“But when you see the crime rate going up in other metropolitan areas while Kelowna’s doesn’t increase a whole lot or stays the same, that is good news for us.”

Romanchuk noted the city’s commitment since 2013 to add 22 officers to the detachment by the end of this year.

Romanchuk also extended his thanks to his officers for their efforts to combat crime in Kelowna.

“I would like to thank our staff and members for the long hours they work, often under difficult conditions and missing time with their family and friends. Their work is the single biggest reason why we have achieved the results we have,” he said.

Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran echoed Romanchuk’s sentiments about getting tough on crime, noting the increase in manpower along with the commitment to build a new police detachment.

“The new (detachment) will allow

for more members to be added as needed, upgrade the technology capabilities and improve efficiencies with all the police department services under one roof,”

Basran said.

The mayor also cited the “more eyes on the street” contributions made to assist RCMP by city bylaw enforcement officers, downtown patrol

Opinion

Courtesy a thing of the past, even to customers Open letter to the cashier at a fabric store in West Kelowna: I was recently shopping at a fabric store in West Kelowna, looking for some material for my new baby boy’s nursery when I overheard two cashier’s speaking loudly about me. Cashier #1 said “Times sure have changed.”

LETTER OF THE WEEK Cashier #2 says “Disgusting. I mean, we know you’re pregnant, we don’t have to see every wrinkle.”

As I stood there with my threeyear-old daughter, who by the way has better manners than you, my first reaction was complete embarrassment, then anger. You know it would have been halfway decent to apologize.

After I walked right up to you and said to you that “I could easily tell you that I did not like your outfit either,” letting you

know that I indeed overheard your insults. The stone cold silence that ensued after that and even over the next half hour that I had to endure finishing up my order in your store was even more uncomfortable and mean spirited.

I am eight months pregnant.

I know I am huge. There are not many options in your eighth month of pregnancy as far as clothing goes to completely cover up your pregnancy—but why am I making excuses, it is you who are in the wrong.

I just want you to know, that pregnant women have feelings too.

Our bellies are not a coat of armour protecting us against whatever insults you would like to hurl at us.

We are actually pretty sensitive.

I did not set out to get pregnant and start up fashion trends or be in the spotlight to show off my belly.

I simply wanted a second child. I don’t enjoy the attention it brings, but I know that it comes with the territory and I am touched by how many people wish me well and have nice things to say.

Photo ops won’t prevent next fire, flood, earthquake…

Unless they’re there to hand out paycheques, thank-you gift baskets or Kathartic actually swing an axe and hold a hose, I could do without ever seeing another politician at a fire.

KATHY There’s something unsettlingly MICHAELS contrived about watching one roll into an ongoing crisis wearing their man/ woman-of-the-people wardrobe.

They speak to the front line workers, brow appropriately furrowed and ask, loudly and awkwardly, questions they’ve likely already read the answers to in 15 previously published press releases.

Then, as camera flashes pop, they invariably say, “You’ve done a great job. You’re brave. Marvelous. I could never do what you’re doing” Of course, all those things are true. But I can’t help but wonder what these politicians are doing in their real arena of change that would help those brave men and women not be where they are, i.e. not be in harm’s way.

For example, what exactly is being done by Canada and B.C. to combat climate change?

Premier Christy Clark pointed out that’s the heart of the problem herself, when she was at the fire scene Wednesday—these fires are the “new

normal” and she has concerns that forest fire season won’t give us a break.

“We’re going to see more homes threatened, more people’s livelihoods threatened, more forest resources lost,” Clark said.

“Climate change has altered the terrain and it’s made us much more vulnerable to fire...The earth is very dry and I think that we have to be planning with the knowledge that this isn’t going to be an unusual year. These things are going to happen more often.”

So what does that mean?

Are we just going to get more funding to clear underbrush or will the governments that are watching the Okanagan turn into a bonfire year after year going to do something to really douse the blaze?

I have no hope for the current federal government. They don’t seem to value scientific evidence.

But B.C. was once praised for going green with its carbon cutting measures.

targets based on the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

Since then, they introduced North America’s first revenue-neutral carbon tax and achieved carbon neutral government every year since 2010.

Lest the backslide be forgotten, Clark’s government froze the carbon tax in 2013, and moved climate leadership to the back burner.

And emissions have been rising whether it be in the area of transportation, industry, or natural gas production.

The good news is that our smoke signals have put the climate on the front burner again, so to speak.

There’s now an avenue to weigh in on what we all think should be done to fix things.

The province has launched the Climate Action Consultation. It’s open now and ends on Aug. 17.

Head over to http://engage.gov.bc.ca/ climateleadership/ and click on ‘Take The Survey.’ It only takes a few minutes and “your input can help ensure a better future for all British Columbians.”

That’s politician speak, of course. There’s a good chance it won’t amount to anything—certainly not a photo op. But now, as we watch our valley swallowed by flames yet again, let’s at least feign interest in saving the world. It’s just a click away.

Some cyclists ride with reckless abandon To the editor: Re: Cyclists Face Dangers Riding On Kelowna Roads Every Day, July 22 Kelowna Capital News.

It’s true, Kelowna drivers need a good spanking. We drive distracted, we drive under the influence, we speed and often ignore traffic signs and signals. We cause accidents.

I am also a cyclist, and while on a bike I’m aware of just how dangerous it is out there.

So I wear a helmet. I try to remember that I’m subject to all the laws regulating every vehicle on the road. A good number of cyclists,

however, ignore the rules of the road.

Have you ever stopped your car at a stop sign, looked left, looked right, then left again before pulling out? Then, suddenly, from your right, a cyclist zips past your front bumper. He was on the wrong side of the street, on the sidewalk; likely helmetless, likely dressed in shades of grey.

If cyclists are so vulnerable, why do they take such chances?

Then we come to those signs that remind us to “Share the Road.”

So cars can pass safely, we have bike lanes

wide enough for cyclists to ride in single file, not two, three or five abreast enabling them to chat back and forth. I’ve been stuck behind such clusters for kilometres at a time.

Most infuriating. Tooting the horn works sometimes; sometimes it doesn’t.

So yes, it would be nice if there were stiffer penalties for bad drivers, but there should also be a crackdown on miscreant bikers—for their sake.

GREAT BEACH CONCERNED CITIZEN

Aliens would discover we’re all pretty much the same across the globe …all other parties really need to get their act together if they want to replace (Harper).

To the editor: Who, Canadians will be asked in a few months, should be in charge of the political, financial, economic and environmental challenges that affects us all?

Do all incumbent and wannabe politicians give some serious thought to what Stephen Hawking said?: “How can the human race sustain another 100 years?”

The present government, no, dictator, not at all. But all other parties really need to get their act together if they want to replace him.

Justin [Trudeau] should think about what his dad [Pierre] said, after he retired and acquired some wisdom and wrote in his book, Lifting The Shadow Of War: “Cooperation is no longer advantageous, in order to survive it is an absolute necessity. The proper discharge of these functions calls for more than tinkering with the present system.

We know in our hearts what has to be done if we have not yet found in our minds the way it can be done…the role of leadership today is to encourage the embrace of Global Ethic.

An Ethic that abhors the present imbalance in the basic human condition.”

Imagine, if an alien from outer space were

to visit the home of a Conservative, Liberal, NDP or Green family, or anywhere else in the world, the alien would hardly find any difference in family life, as we all have the same needs, and we all have a desire that our descendants’ needs will be met in the future, but probably won’t, if we carry on as usual.

In closing, I’d like to share some thoughts that I wrote many years ago and can still be found on the Web. “The endless pro-and-con arguments about Global Warming or Climate Change, whether man- or sun-made, or even true, must look really ridiculous, when intelligently viewed from a cosmic-time-perspective and the future. Eliminating needless competition and non-life producing jobs and businesses, without anybody suffering, could cut resource and electricity demand and greenhouse gases drastically, and nature will take care of itself.”

Nature does not need us. Energy that is not needed does not have to be produced.

Remember Future Shop, Zellers, Target, etc.?

COURTESY GONE

Mom hurt, angered but fine COURTESY FROM A8 Before you decided to speak your opinion ever so loudly, so that there was no way I could not overhear, I was self-conscious about going out in public. It is not easy to go out knowing how big you are and that people are going to stare. It is not comfortable—but it is OK with me—like I said it comes with the territory.

In my eighth month, there is not much clothing that does not cling to my belly, or is even comfortable, so my jersey dress works well for me. Thank you for making me feel terrible, for making me even more selfconscious and ashamed of what was to me,

merely a very big stomach growing a human being. You have succeeded in your intention to make me feel bad.

My only comfort is the thought that in one month I will be holding my baby and all this will be behind me, and you will still be a rude, hurtful woman obviously unhappy with your life.

I understand that everyone is entitled to their opinion, however, just as I teach my three-year-old, I guess you should learn too: If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

Rotary Beach could use some underwater upkeep To the editor: Rotary Beach is one of the nicest beaches in Kelowna. My husband and I (seniors) try to swim there at least three to four times a week.

One problem—the silt that has drifted in makes it very difficult. It seems to be in troughs. You walk out till it is deep enough to swim, take three stokes and your knees hit the bottom. It is all different depths right out to the buoys.

I believe it should be dredged and leveled out. That would also solve some of the weed problems. I realize money it tight but as it is a great tourist beach it would be worth it.

Perhaps the city could work with the Rotary Club and together they could make it a project.

Also what happened to the no dog signs?

Saw several both swimming and doing their duty on the lawn the other day.

The program, the incubator farm concept, is the initiative of the Central Okanagan Food Policy Council following a workshop a few years ago.

Out of that workshop arose two priorities for what is about to now become the Central Okanagan Community Farm Society: To grow food for food banks and other social agencies with volunteers doing the farming; and to establish the incubator farm plot concept where new farmers could try farming on leased land using shared equipment and benefiting from experienced mentors.

Bob McCoubrey, chair of the council, said the society, which will hold its inaugural annual general meeting this fall having now received its charitable donation tax exemption status, has advanced on its food growing mandate.

McCoubrey, a Lake Country orchardist, is one of eight founding members of the society.

The council created a one-acre vegetable plot in Lake Country and has plans to develop a similar

operation in Kelowna next year to address the food bank and other social agency food needs.

McCoubrey said the logical next steps in the incubator initiative will include getting feedback on the interest to participate, finding a landowner who is willing to rent or donate a suitable plot of land for the project, and finding usable farm equipment.

He is seeking the involvement of interested farmers, land owner and potential farming mentors.

The idea, he said, is for young farmers to work their plots for two or three years and then take that experience to help them branch out on their own.

“As we know, the average age of farmers in the Okanagan today is 60 so we need to get more young people involved.

Agriculture is doing great these days, particularly with the grape and cherry crops, but we can grow so many other crops in the valley,” McCoubrey said.

“Vegetable growing would be the main focus at the start as annual crops are easier to change over as farmers come and go.”

He said tree fruit orchards might be an option one day, but they require a greater investment of time until the fruit actually starts

producing an annual crop. “How we move forward on this will depend on the number of people who come forward expressing an interest, how serious they are. It’s an opportunity to learn about farming without risking everything right off the start as an initial investment,” McCoubrey said.

He said the society also has to ponder the method of farming: The large-scale farm typical in California where huge acreages requiring a lot of

water to grow crops vs. the smaller plot farmed on a more intensive level sa exemplified by Curtis Stone of Kelowna, who in 2012 with his Green City Acres farm grew 50,000 lbs. of food on less than an acre of land using organic farming methods.

“I think the writing is on the wall regarding the California method of growing because it requires a lot of water for the crops. With climate change and other water supply factors, you have to look at how successful

Curtis has been growing food on very little land and is that a model we should try to copy.”

When the society is formerly in place, McCoubrey said it will seek out grants to move the incubator project forward if the local participation interest is evident. “The Central Okangan Foundation grant was a big help in establishing the food bank plot program, so we’ll be looking for that kind of grant support again for the incubator

farming,” he said. 1-800-563-7401 “IfCallitToll allFree Heaven and earth to try comes together, we could and make that happen.”

the wheel of a record player going round and round and round as I advise on this point again and again and again.

It might seem “Of course!” obvious, but so many injured victims have a lack of understanding about how the medical system works, are misled

by ICBC funding choices, or have a reluctance to get help where help is needed.

I am talking about pursuing recovery for your injuries. Our medical system is reactive, not proactive. You need to ask for help; it won’t come to you.

This can be hard for many of us “suck it up” people who resist asking for help and don’t want to be viewed as a whiner.

Bob is a case in point.

It took me two to three months before I went to my doctor to find out how to get rid of him.

Three courses of antibiotics and two minor “surgeries” later, “Bob the boil” was finally eradicated from my behind.

Had I sought medical

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT care much earlier the issue would have been dealt with in short order without a beast developing and being given a name.

Your goal is to achieve as complete and quick a recovery from your injuries as possible.

You will achieve your goal by getting medical advice from a fully informed medical practitioner and very diligently following that advice.

You can’t stop there, though. Car crash injuries are a moving target.

Your medical practitioner’s care recommendations will change over time, depending on how your injuries respond.

You need to go back from time to time in order to fully update your medical practitioner and get updated recommen-

dations.

How frequently? Ask your medical practitioner.

Medical treatment isn’t cheap, and ICBC holds the “purse strings” for funding crash injury related care.

A “song and dance” ensues with getting referral slips from the doctor and sending them to the ICBC adjuster for funding “approval,” which repeats itself periodically as required by the adjuster.

The adjuster will often offer to reimburse your “user fees” which you pay in addition to amounts paid directly

by ICBC to the treating practitioner. Often, the ICBC adjuster will agree to fund some, but not other care, or for a restricted amount of care.

Eventually, and inevitably, the funding “tap” for certain care, or care generally, will be shut off. The critical thing to remember is that your ICBC adjuster has no medical training and

➣ White Fillings ➣ Crowns, Veneers ➣ Grafts ➣ Root Canals

is entirely unqualified to make decisions about your care.

You must rely solely on your medical team to determine what care is most likely to reach your goal (of as full and quick a recovery as possible) and not make the critical mistake that many make, which is to adjust or stop care based on funding decisions made by an insurance adjuster.

How do you pay for care that is no longer funded by ICBC? You find a way. Easy for a “high priced lawyer” to say “find a way?”

Yes, it is, but if you ever run out of options for funding your care give me a call and I’ll help you figure it out.

Does this sound like medical advice? It happens to also be the best legal advice you could get to maximize the prospect of fair financial compensation for your injuries and losses.

Lori Romanuik (left), sales associate, and Cindy Maycock, life enrichment manager, with The Heritage Retirement residence were joined by Canadian Army Corp. Marc Lauzon in a vehicle parked outside West Kelowna’s Wal-Mart on July 15 to collect food donations for the food bank. Lauzon was joined in the effort by fellow soldiers Capt.

Jeff Daley and Sgt. Charles McDougall, all representing the B.C. Dragoons regiment in Kelowna.

KELOWNA ARMOURY

Feds kick in $1.1 million for upgrades The federal government will provide a $1.1 million grant to fund renovations to the Brigadier Angle Armoury in Kelowna.

The project includes the installation of a new ventilation system, repairs to the roof and lighting equipment and painting at the facility. The work will be completed over the next two years.

The Brigadier Angle Armoury is home to the British Columbia Dragoons (BCD), a Primary Reserve Armoured Reconnaissance Regiment of the Canadian Armed Forces based in Kelowna and Vernon. It is part of 39 Canadian Brigade Ron Cannan Group and 3rd Canadian Division.

“I’m thrilled to announce this $1.1 million investment for renovations to ensure our armoury remains a source of pride for generations to come,” said Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan.

“Not only will this investment provide increased support to our men and women in uniform, it will also promote job creation and economic growth in Kelowna.”

Cannan called this investment another example of the Conservative government’s commitment to support the brave men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces through improved and upgraded facilities.

“Projects like these will ensure our military members can continue to efficiently train and prepare for duty here at home and abroad,” he added.

Kelowna resident Mike McQuaid is leaving an imprint on the community’s beaches.

McQuaid is the owner and inventor of the Umbrella Station, a new product he is producing in Kelowna that will begin sales next week.

The Umbrella Station is a small waterproof table and umbrella that is easy to set up and comes with a cooler, wind anchors and cup holders.

“I noticed people were always struggling, families would be sitting in the

sun for 30 minutes while the dad dug holes, looked for rocks and found ways to get his umbrella in the ground, only to find the sun has moved and the umbrella is no longer in the right angle,” McQuaid described where he got the idea.

“As I developed this, we started discovering that not only does it work in the sand, you can use it at a park, you can use it at a water park, at soccer games.

“All of these places people don’t traditionally think to bring an umbrella because you’re not going to dig a hole in a park.”

McQuaid first had the idea about two years ago while living in Mexico near a windy beach.

“I just started making prototypes out of cardboard, and then wandering up and down the isles of Home Depot looking for different pieces of things I could put together, because I didn’t have any machines to make the pieces I wanted.”

McQuaid fixed the problem of needing to adjust the umbrella as the sun moves in one simple idea. The Umbrella Station has two slots for the umbrella to go into;

The Umbrella Station is a new Kelowna product about to go on sale next week. one that holds it straight up, and one that can tilt it securely at any angle.

McQuaid is partnered with his brother in making the Umbrella Station, and he explained they want to start small and get a feel

for the market.

They will have 250 for sale this month, and another 250 for sale next month.

The Umbrella Station can be purchased online at umbrella-station.com.

Rockets alumni raise money The Rockets Alumni Foundation’s 15th annual golf tournament fundraiser held last Friday was another sold-out success.

Former and current players, coaches, scouts, management as well as sponsors and fans headed out on the Harvest Golf Club in a Texas scramble event.

Scotiabank kicked off the day with a $15,000 matching donation after Thursday night’s auction events at the VIP Reception.

While the final fundraising total is still being tabulated yet, the Rockets Alumni Foundation has committed to raising $100,000 over the next three years for the Canucks Autism Network.

The golf tournament roster of participants included alumni members Shea Weber, Josh Gorges, Ryan Huska, Tyler Spurgeon, Vern Fiddler, Nolan Yonkman and Tyson Barrie.

All money raised will stay in Kelowna and go towards helping children with autism enter hockey programs.

Sports JUNIOR FOOTBALL

Sun amped up for season kick off from last season with the likes of Robbie Yochim, Dexter Janke, Ron Mwamba and Zak Ironstand all graduating from the program.

But with an aggressive off-season of recruiting from head coach Shane Beatty and some talented new additions, first-year defensive coordinator Mike Botterill likes the Sun’s defensive potential again in 2015.

Still, Botterill assures nothing is a given and the defense has been working hard to be prepared for the new season.

“We’re not going to rest on our laurels, the guys are going to come out and battle from the start,” said Botterill, who is in his second season on the coaching staff.

“We’ve got a good group of returning guys and we have some excellent new players.

“The guys have been flying around, I really like their work ethic and I’m excited to watch them play.”

With a new system in place on the other side of the ball, the Sun offense has also been generating some excitement in the pre-season.

Beatty has taken over the reins as offensive coordinator, while

In each of the last two seasons, the Okanagan Sun has fielded the No. 1 defense in all of Canadian junior football.

As the 2015 B.C. Football Conference season kicks off this weekend, veteran defensive back Brennan Van Nistelrooy said his teammates are prepared to do everything in their power to uphold that standard.

“I don’t think we want to accept anything less than what we’ve done as a defence the last two years,” said Van Nistelrooy, an allCanadian in 2014. “It’s been a strong point for our team and we take pride in the job we do. “…and with the way our offense has been looking, if we play like we can, I think we’ll be a hard team to beat this season.”

Van Nistelrooy and the Sun raise the curtain on the new BCFC season Saturday at home to the Westshore Rebels. Kick off at the Apple Bowl is 7 p.m.

The defence—which yielded just 139 points in 10 games last year—saw several key departures

the offence, there’s real mix of things and a lot of options,” said the 240-pound Russell, who scored seven touchdowns on just eight carries last season. “I think we’re going to be tough to lock down, we have a lot of great athletes, so it should be a lot of fun.”

When it comes to the quarterbacking position, K Patchell said a clear No. t 1 hasn’t yet been singled out, so Cam Bedore and Josiah Joseph will both takes reps on Saturday against the Rebels. Rookie Keith Zyla is also likely to see some time at the controls, Patchell said.

One challenge the Sun offence may face this weekend is the health of the offensive line as two all-Canadians, Michele Vecchio and Cliff Crews, have been battling injuries.

Still, thanks to their overall depth, the Sun heads into its 2015 season opener confident and ready to roll.

“The guys are super excited and anxious to get going,” said Patchell.

“We’ve dialed the roster down to 55, the guys have been working hard and preparing themselves well, so everyone’s ready to go.”

TOSSL LACROSSE

Raiders eye fifth straight title play by the Raiders supplemented by excellent goaltending from Graham Cousins kept the Shamrock sharpshooters at bay for much of the game.

The Raiders, who opened up a 4-0 lead, held Armstrong scoreless until the 13:45 mark of the second period.

Jordan Urban scored twice in the win, while Victor Wiens, Brendan Urban, Joe Brown, Cody Ridden and captain Jacob

Illichmann added singles.

Jamie Cockerill scored a pair for the Shamrocks.

“It’s huge for us,” Jordan Urban said after the win. “We just wanted to come in here and play hard, play our game.

“Armstrong always plays hard here, they’re always going to give you a good run for your money and you have to play them hard. If you play them hard, it gives you a chance to win.”

Urban also praised

Cousins for his work in the Raiders’ net.

“He was phenomenal,” Urban said. “Up until halfway through the game, they hadn’t scored.

It felt like they had a lot of good shots, especially in the first period, and he just stood on his head and kept us in it.”

Game 3 of the TOSSL final, if needed, will be played Saturday at Nor Val Centre in Armstrong.

Edmonton’s Lindsey Berthelsen has joined UBC Okanagan’s 2015 class of recruits as a member of the Heat women’s soccer squad.

The 5-foot-8 centreback has been a multisport wonder at Harry Ainlay High School, competing at a high level in volleyball and soccer, as well as competitive gymnastics.

Despite numerous awards and commendations with her on-court endeavours, Berthelsen ultimately decided on pursuing life on grass and turf for her post-secondary journey.

“I feel that the soccer program and (UBC Okanagan) are a good fit for me as both an athlete and a student,” she said.

She went on to admit being persuaded largely by coach Claire Paterson and the rest of her staff at the team’s ID Camp in March.

“I feel very fortunate to be able to continue my soccer career in the CIS, especially with such a young, up and coming team,” she concluded as she also plans to pursue a degree in Human Kinetics at the Okanagan campus of UBC. A relentless, “nononsense” defender, as she has been categorized

by Paterson, Berthelsen will be looked upon to fill some gaps in the backline as a very young Heat

has also appeared in big name tournaments such as the 2013 Las Vegas showcase, Burnaby Spring showcase, Vikes Nike tournament and the 2014 EDSA All Star game.

“Lindsey comes from

a strong club program in Edmonton which has had some great success,” Paterson added. “We are excited to have her join our program and we are looking to her to fill some very big shoes this year.”

Berthelsen comes to Kelowna with eight years of club experience under her belt, all logged with Scottish United. In that time she has picked

up three provincial medals—one gold and two bronze—and most recently won the Women Premiere gold for 2015 and was a U18 Tier 1 League Champion.

FOOTBALL B.C.

Training, games for minor players

Four Kelowna football products will take part in the Kamloops Legacy Performance Games this weekend, July 24 to 26.

Football B.C.’s U13 and Grade 8 teams will participate in a minitraining camp at Hillside Stadium on the campus of Thompson Rivers University. They will also compete in intrasquad games on Sunday at Hillside to close out the weekend.

On the U13 team roster is Xander Kennedy, an offensive lineman and member of the KelownaMission Lions.

The Grade 8 rosters feature three local players, all from the Kelowna Riders—running back Coly Miletto, lineman Garrett McCarthy and defensive back Keysean Lyder.

“We are very excited to have been invited and to participate in this unique event in Canada’s Tournament Capital,” said Football BC Technical Director Dino Geremia. “We are looking forward to showcasing some of the best young football talent we have in our province to the Legacy Games fans in Kamloops.”

The coaching staff for the event will include former UBC Thunderbirds head coach and current U18 Team BC head coach Jay Prepchuk, two-time CJFL Coach of the Year Nick Kawaza, as well as former CFL players JR LaRose (Edmonton Eskimos, BC Lions) and Paris Jackson (Edmonton Eskimos, BC Lions, Ottawa RedBlacks).

athlete.’ Or ‘I AM a gold medalist.’ So he puts these thoughts in your head, which I think is a beautiful thought— believe you can go in there. For me, I believe I can get a 75 per cent and it did happen.”

That mindset is precisely what Stroda is aiming for.

“Without really planning for success, success is not going to happen. Your body follows your mind. If your mind is not where you want to be, you never get there,” he explains.

“You really want to direct (the riders) to that space, finding that alert presence, finding clarity in your mind and then the miracles happen. I think we saw lots of miracles on Saturday and on Sunday.

It was remarkable.”

Beyond working with the individual athletes, Stroda has worked to

He doesn’t ride or work with horses. But in two years he’s has proven to be a game changer for the Canadian dressage team.

Dirk Stroda, a Germanborn mental coach from Kelowna, began working the Canadian team before the World Equestrian Games in Normandy 2014.

Thirty years of mental coaching experience has taken the former national track-and-field athlete to 11 Olympic Games. Now he has a Pan American team silver medal in dressage on his track record, too. Stroda will tell you he’s “just here to help the athletes shine.”

What he’s really doing is “tapping into miracles.”

Even among the relative obscurity of mental coaches in equestrian sport, Stroda’s approach is unconventional. He once coached a track athlete preparing to compete on a “big stage” in an actual theatre. She went on to

win gold.

For the Pan Am dressage team, it’s Post-It notes in the hotel elevator because as Stroda points out “everyone takes the elevator.”

Sunday’s Post-It note: “I am using my energy to believe.”

“It’s one of his big things,” says Belinda Trussell, anchor rider for the Canadian team. “You can’t say ‘I want.’ You say ‘I AM a Pan American

cultivate a culture of collaboration within the international dressage team. Trussell, a team veteran, says he is a “big factor” in why this Pan Am team gets along so well.

“We are extremely supportive of one another. There’s a lot of fun and camaraderie in the barn. There hasn’t been any kind of issues or drama—sometimes there is when you have a bunch of people together,” says the Olympian.

That too was an integral part of Stroda’s plan. “It’s much more enjoyable to compete from a safe place than a hostile place. You can compete more and sustain that level of competition longer when you come from a compassionate, trustworthy, supportive environment. It’s collaborative. It’s inclusive.

That is changing the culture,” he explains.

“It’s good energy and that’s what they radiate to their horses.”

The Canadian team didn’t take home the gold medal they came for at the Pan American Games.

They missed that goal by six per cent. But with five career best scores recorded in two days, the team rode a wave into the individual freestyle event where Canada’s Chris Von Martels captured a bronze medal.

“Every thought that you have, every belief that you hold creates an energy and on the podium you could see that the energy is very high. It has to be high from the first day on and then you create a momentum and the momentum takes over.

You want to make sure it’s a positive momentum,” says Stroda.

Doing our part to control destructive wrath of forest fires It’s always interesting what sparks a thought and candles memories of the past.

Like many folks, I have a healthy respect and logical fear of fire fanned and fed I surmise from two specific incidents in my younger years.

My fear of house fires is magnified from when I decided to become a door-to-door salesman of smoke and fire alarm detectors. (I was desperately trying to find another career aside from journalism and door-todoor sales on a bad day mirrored the pay of a small town journalist).

Part of the job was a three week training course complete with videos and intense book study on anything to do with fire.

To this day, I see every electronic device in my home as a potential arsonist waiting for me to sleep or leave the house.

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE The course cost me more than $400 (a fortune back then). I sold one detector before quitting.

Making single moms cry in guilt for not having enough money to protect their children was way more than I could deal with.

My instinctive terror of flames outdoors was amplified when as a young journalist I spent a weekend hanging out with a Rap-Attack forest firefighting team.

Every time I travel past a burning hillside or watch a fire report on television, I flash back to that weekend.

That is what happened yesterday as I drove back

from city council related meetings in Kamloops.

The entire trip was dotted with spot fires throughout the terrain, grey skies filled with forest smoke, and a heavy acrid smell permeating the air.

Ironically, what was not ablaze or grey was spectacularly green and healthy. So it felt like spot samples of hell peppered into a landscape of Heaven.

While traversing past the burning hills around Falkland, I was instantly mentally teleported to my adventure filled weekend some 35 years ago.

Memories of terror and facing the ominous overwhelming power of an angry Mother Nature returned.

Rap Attack teams are our firefighting equivalent to a police SWAT team. Highly skilled,

fit, strategically trained firefighters are sent in to the core or hot spots of fires and remote areas that cannot be reached by any other means than helicopter.

‘Rappers’ learn how to quickly clamber down tremendously long ropes onto small hillside or mountain top areas while choppers hover carefully over head.

There is a strange disconnect in the brain that happens when one finds themselves supposed to be in a hurry to drop out of a safe helicopter onto a suspended rope and then dangle high above a blazing inferno.

The body says no, the brain says no, and the team leader behind you says now!

I remember on the way out the chopper promising myself to reconsider a career in door-to-door sales should

West Kelowna council has awarded the construction contract to Arterra Construction Ltd. The contract amount is $304,890.

The road construction will include: • traffic circles installed at the intersection of Gorman and Webber Roads and at the intersection of Lower

Glenrosa and Webber roads • road width reduction at the intersection of Scotstown and Webber roads • speed humps on McIver Road between Glenrosa and McQueen roads • raised school crosswalk on McIver to access Glenrosa Middle School • pedestrian activated light crossing at the intersection of Glenrosa and McIver roads.

Other common sense tips suggest you pack out whatever you pack in to a campsite, clear any potential fire tinder debris around your property (if you live in an area bordering a forest), and refrain from operating any motorcycle, all terrain vehicles or equipment such as chainsaws which may cause sparks.

At last report the blaze on Westside Road and Shelter Cove has reached 460 hectares and still a concern, so we are already taxing heavily our fire fighting teams.

I can’t urge readers enough to be part of the solution and not part of the problem. Please do not contribute further to the threat.

Do yourself and the rest of the province a favour.

However it only takes common sense, basic safety rules, and respect for both nature and others to prevent forest fires.

As our old childhood buddy Smokey the Bear use to caution—“Only you can prevent forest fires.”

So here is the plan for what you can do to help mitigate the current crisis. Be cautious and be involved.

If you see a puff of smoke in the hills do not hesitate to report it. Pick up cell phone and dial *5555 on your regular phone call 1-800-6635555.

If you or someone you know are planning a camping trip or even a day in the great outdoors remember—no campfires, smoking, toking or large barbecues.

At last report, the only permitted flame-like objects allowed outdoors currently are Campfire in a Can.

I survive.

It takes a tremendous sense of focus, determination, toughness and competition to be a forest fire rap attacker.

Beating Mother Nature is not a fight for the faint hearted.

Sadly, once again, our valley and province is facing another major forest fire filled summer with hundreds of fires already burning.

Even more alarming for those who were here during the inferno of 2003, this year’s fires have hit earlier and harder than a dozen years ago.

Fire experts say our surrounding forests are even drier this year and there is not a lot of cool, wet weather in the forecast.

We are in for some harsh times folks, and it may sadly get much worse before it gets better.

The reality is that some 40 per cent of the current fires burning were caused by human involvement.

As mere mortals, we have no control over

Biopics earning critical praise

This weekend’s box office winner will likely be Pixels, Adam Sandler’s newest about the invasion of Earth by classic videogames.

However, I thought I would start with some other new releases that might get lost in the glut of the Hollywood heavyweights.

Last week saw the Paramount Theatre open the critically acclaimed Brian Wilson biopic Love & Mercy.

This week, the Paramount opens the Amy Winehouse documentary simply titled Amy. Although she had released only two albums before her death, Winehouse is considered one of the biggest British music icons. This critically acclaimed documentary looks at her rise to fame through her music, and how her chaotic personal life and addictions contributed to her untimely death.

In Southpaw, Jake Gyllenhaal transforms himself into Billy “The Great” Hope, a junior middleweight boxing champion who seemingly has it all including a loving wife (Rachel McAdams) and an adorable daughter.

However, when tragedy strikes, he hits rock bottom and has nowhere to turn except to Tick Willis (Forest Whitaker), a retired fighter and trainer to the city’s toughest amateur boxers.

Directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day), expect Gyllenhaal to get rave reviews for his

Landmark Grand 10 Rachel McAdams and Jake Gyllenhaal star in Southpaw.

Movie Guy

RICK DAVIS performance. It opens exclusively at Landmark Cinemas Grand 10.

Also opening at the Grand 10 is what looks like a charming and moving British dramedy, What We Did On Our Holiday.

Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) and David Tennant (Dr. Who) star as a divorcing couple who are taking their three children on a trip to Scotland for a big family gathering but ask their kids to keep it a secret from their extended family.

But when the inevitable dysfunction sets in, hilarious and emotional repercussions set in and the family are forced to put aside their differences and work together or risk losing what they hold most dear.

This is a must-see for fans of British cinema and of the multi-talented Billy Connolly, who looks like he gives another standout performance.

Paper Towns is based upon another young adult book from author John Green, who also penned The Fault in Our Stars.

This road trip movie is the story of a young man named Quentin

who goes on an allnight adventure with his neighbour Margo, who loves mysteries.

However, after their adventure, she suddenly disappears, leaving only cryptic clues for Quentin to decipher.

As for Pixels. Adam Sandler leads an ensemble cast which includes Kevin James (Paul Blart), Josh Gad (Frozen) and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones) against aliens that have taken the form of Pac Man, Galaga, Q’bert, Donkey Kong and of course, Space Invaders. hristopher Columbus, best known for Home Alone and the first two Harry Potter movies, will likely balance Sandler’s silly humour with impressive special effects.

This is an opportunity to find out how the Seven Principles of Xeriscape can help you to garden successfully in the climate extremes that are becoming the norm.

I will touch on each of those principles— planning and design, soil preparation, practical turf areas, efficient irrigation, appropriate plant selection, mulching and timely maintenance.

A common question these days is, “How do I get rid of lawn?” I’ll discuss several options.

Using plants in the garden, I’ll show various ways plants adapt to drought. This will help when researching what to plant that will thrive in dry heat.

One of the best research tools is the extensive plant database at okanaganxeriscape. org. It has 23 search categories and over 350 water-wise plants suited

Drought climate gardening tips

Almost any landscape style can be successfully designed using xeriscape principles. The word xeriscape is equated with water conservation and resilience to drought. Other possible benefits include reduced maintenance time and costs, thriving plants, enhanced property value, and elimination of use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. to the Okanagan. Most plant profiles include photos.

Now is a very good time to assess your landscape. Make a note of the plants that do well in the hot and dry conditions and ones that do poorly that you may want to replace.

When it’s too hot to be gardening, you can sit in the shade to begin the planning process for the changes you want to make.

Consider making some changes this fall.

Fall is an excellent time to plant in the Okanagan.

The air is cool and the soil is warm, creating ideal conditions for a plant to begin establishing a good root system before next summer’s drought.

The plant grows until the ground freezes and begins again as soon as the ground thaws.

It will go into next summer with a much bigger root system than if it were planted next spring, thus making it be better prepared for drought conditions.

Before planting, soak the hole twice, allowing water to drain. Immerse the root ball in a bucket

of water until it is fully saturated. Break up the roots so they will grow out into surrounding soil.

After planting, soak again, then spread a layer of mulch around the plant.

Following these instructions will get plants off to a good start at any time but are essential to follow with late season planting.

Fall is an excellent time to create a lasagne garden as there are lots of compost materials, such as leaves and plant clippings available.

St. Augustine feels a lot younger than 450

Josh Noel

For the oldest town in America, St. Augustine has sure come a long way in recent years. The town of 14,000 on Florida’s northern Atlantic coast celebrates its 450th birthday in late summer, but locals mostly have been rejoicing over the town’s cultural growth.

“St. Augustine has seen a lot of change during the last five years,” said Greg Goldstein, a bartender at the newly opened Ice Plant Bar and Restaurant, which symbolizes the recent leap as much as anything.

The two-story, concrete-walled building opened in the early 1900s as a power plant. It soon became an ice plant, which it remained for 50 years before being shuttered. Last year it reopened with dual trendy purposes: on one side, a sleek restaurant/ bar with a Prohibitionera feel. On the other side sits a distillery with ambitious growth plans.

The town is abuzz over its old ice plant and all that it means: high-concept food and cocktails available until 2 a.m., made with spirits distilled under the same roof and all in a stunning old building.

JOSH NOEL

Aviles Street in St. Augustine, Fla., is the oldest street in the United States.

The Ice Plant is a notable development in a town best known for its past but increasingly embracing the present. To be sure, history remains a prime attraction in St. Augustine, just as it is in neighbouring cities such as Savannah, Ga., and Charleston, S.C. The historic district includes ample buildings dating back hundreds of years, but mixed in with all

the yesteryear are latenight cocktail lounges and beer bars, an eclectic food scene and a chain of gourmet popsicle shops.

St. Augustine is home to Flagler College, a small liberal-arts college that lends the town a young and active vibe. Crossed with its intersection of lively modernity and fascinating history, St. Augustine makes for a well-rounded destination

on its 450th birthday— even if you skip the formal celebration.

TO DO

With so much diverse tourism—you’re likely to overhear any number of international languages— St. Augustine has the feel of a town several times larger than it is. (It’s also large geographically speaking.) The city is tourist-friendly, with

Walk the old town

ST AUGUSTINE FROM A25 middle of a Wednesday afternoon, and it was nearly full.

Of course, the best way to soak in any town is to walk, and that’s especially true of St. Augustine’s old town. Those historic brick streets date to the 16th century; the first

construction was about 50 years after Spanish explorers landed on the coast, in 1565. Today it is a charming patchwork of narrow streets that evoke a PG-rated version of New Orleans’ French Quarter with worn, stucco buildings and balconies jutting above the pedestrians.

Although there are no original buildings because of a fire that leveled much of St. Augustine, there is plenty of history: threeblock Aviles Street, which the town claims as the oldest street in America; Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in the United States (it dates to the 1600s and

largest indoor swimming pool, though today it is a restaurant.

Spending all your time looking at old things, however, misses one of the joys of the Florida coast: the coast. St. Augustine is lined with miles of wide beach. At the northern edge sits Anastasia State Park, 1,600 beachfront acres that for me included a unique little hike through what once were beachfront dunes but have become a thick forest marked with oaks and evergreens. To dive even deeper into nature, check out St. Augustine Eco Tours, which offers kayaking and bird-

watching among other activities.

Of course, the ultimate local experience is ziplining over a pit of alligators and crocodiles, and you can do that very thing at the St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park.

FOOD

St. Augustine’s recent leap is clearest on its food landscape. You can choose from new and modern (The Ice Plant and fresh-catch fish restaurant Catch 27), old-school Southern (fried shrimp and Minorcan clam chowder rule at O’Steen’s, Aunt Kate’s Restaurant and Barnacle Bill’s) and

upscale Continental (Michael’s Tasting Room serves Spanish-inspired food, and Bistro de Leon is run by a fifthgeneration French chef who incorporates local produce into traditional fare).

About a mile west of the old city, Present Moment Cafe stands alone in St. Augustine as a restaurant specializing in raw and vegan food.

It’s an ideal detox after all that fried shrimp— plus, the vegan desserts almost taste “real.” Also keep an eye out for the datil, a spicy pepper with a hint of sweetness that is grown in and around St. Augustine and appears on many menus in various forms.

YEARS

St. Augustine is home to a robust hotel scene that essentially boils down to three varieties: historic, beachfront and B&Bs. Highlights include Casa Monica, which was built as a hotel in 1888, converted to the county courthouse, closed and then reopened as a hotel in 1999. Castillo Real is a boutique hotel on St. Augustine Beach that is decorated in a Mediterranean style.

Testosterone and vitamin D related More of my male patients are asking me what the signs and symptoms are of low testosterone.

Some of the more common symptoms include erectile dysfunction, hair loss, fatigue and lack of energy, loss of muscle mass, increased body fat, decreased bone mass leading to osteoporosis and mood changes.

The normal range of testosterone is 300 to 1,000 ng/dL. Your levels can be easily checked with your physician by a simple blood test. The optimum time to do the test is between 7 and 10 a.m.

A very interesting paper was recently presented at the 2015 American Urological Conference by Dr. Mary Ann McLaughlin.

In it, she stated that low levels of testosterone were noted in males with low levels of vitamin D. In this study she had a population of 824 males.

She drew blood from all participants and found the following.

First, 68 per cent of all the individuals had low

Ask Dr. Thiel MARKUS THIEL levels of vitamin D. The amount of testosterone was higher in individuals who had normal levels of vitamin D. Interestingly, the investigators found that males who had low vitamin D also had a higher body mass index, in addition to having a larger waist circumference and poorer lipid profile.

Some studies have cited that 78 per cent of people in our latitude are vitamin D deficient.

“Research is pouring in from all around the world proving its (vitamin D) role in calcium metabolism, bone health, normal hormone function and prevention of colon, breast and prostate cancer and deterrence of would-be autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis diabetes and Alzheimer ’s disease” reports Susie Langley, of

The Medical Post.

Cornell University did an enormous study that said that taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D combined with 15 minutes of sunshine reduced the occurrence of colon cancer by two-thirds and breast cancer by half.

We have vitamin D receptors in every single organ system of the body, including our immune system. They promote normal cell function throughout the body,

cites McGill and Harvard researchers.

Further, they found that these receptors, hence, the vitamin D is necessary for our body’s formation of natural antibiotics. They postulate that this may be why TB was previously cured by sunlight exposure in the past.

I feel vitamin D is a necessary part of good health, not only in prevention of disease, but the maintenance of good health. askdrthiel@shaw.ca

Power, panache in Porsche Cayenne GTS

By Lorne Drury Porsche has earned its reputation in the automotive world by building high-performance, high-end sports cars, yet interestingly, its bestseller is the Cayenne, a sport utility vehicle.

When the Cayenne first bowed in 2002, many Porsche die-hards thought it was a sacrilege for the German manufacturer to sell out the brand with something as mundane as a sport ute.

But Porsche obviously understood the market and the Cayenne has proven to be a huge success. In 2014, the Cayenne accounted for about one-third of all Porsche sales worldwide with deliveries of 65,941 units.

When you add in sales of the new-for-2014 Porsche Macan (44,636), overall SUV sales make up more than half of the brand’s deliveries worldwide.

So how has this sports car manufacturer been able to become a major player in the luxury SUV segment of the market?

The reasons are undoubtedly twofold.

Porsche builds sportiness into its SUVs, creating more than simply a utilitarian people mover. The manufacturer has also continued to expand the SUV portfolio over the years with new models that appeal to a different buyer.

In fact, Porsche offers seven models in the Cayenne lineup, including the high-performance GTS tested here.

For 2016, the GTS joins the Cayenne, Cayenne Diesel, Cayenne S, Cayenne S E-Hybrid, Cayenne Turbo and Cayenne Turbo S for sale in Canada.

The GTS is not the most powerful Cayenne in the stable, but it perhaps offers the best combination of

Lorne Drury

performance, athleticism and panache with its 440 hp, high-performance chassis and melodic engine sound.

Porsche likes to brag that every Porsche is a sports car and this is quite evident in the Cayenne GTS that has turned an 8:13 minute lap time at the famed Nurburgring circuit in Germany, just behind its higher-powered Cayenne Turbo S sibling which posted a seven minute, 59-second lap, putting the duo at the top of the premium SUV segment.

The interesting thing here is that the powerplant in the GTS has been downsized for 2016 with a 3.6-litre V6 twin-turbo replacing the previous V8. However, the result is an increase in power with 20 extra hp and 63 lb/ft of added torque.

Fuel economy has also been improved with the new engine.

Porsche quotes a 0-100 time of 5.1 seconds with the optional Sport Chrono Package, which our tester had, and 5.2 seconds without. This makes it about a half second faster than the previous model.

In the Cayenne lineup, the GTS sits between the Cayenne S and the Cayenne Turbo.

Our Meteor Gray Metallic colour test vehicle came with a final price tag of $124,285, up from the base continued on page 7

‡

Two hundred and two kilometres driven without using a drop of fuel in a 2015 Chevrolet Volt has changed my mind about electric cars.

Regular readers will already know I view all-electric cars with range-anxiety trepidation.

I am not talking about hybrids, which are the right step, but not the final step, towards weaning ourselves off of fossil fuels before they dry up or we kill the planet.

The Volt is actually an electric car running to the beat of a different drummer, in this case called range extending.

So far the Volt is one the only two (BMW i3) mainstream electrics which do away with the fear of being stranded after 60-80 km when the battery goes dead.

Chevrolet’s approach is to base the propulsion system on a huge, T-shaped 17.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, supplemented by a 1.4-litre, four-cylinder gasoline engine that Chevrolet calls the “range extender”.

Unlike a hybrid, drive is always electric with the battery good for 61 km, at which point the engine cuts in seamlessly acting like a dynamo and adding backup power for a total of 608 km on the battery/engine combination.

But the trick is the driver can take advantage of regenerative energy recovery values when braking or simply coasting which can then be seen on the large central LCD screen.

The battery can be fully charged in 11 hours using a supplied 5.5-metre corded regulator that plugs into any 120-volt wall socket.

The owner can also buy a 240-volt quick charger than replenishes the battery in about four hours.

The front wheels are driven by a 111 kW (149 hp) electric motor with 273 lb/ft of torque that is augmented by a 55 kW (83 hp) generator motor. When called upon, the twin-cam engine (premium fuel required) uses its 83 hp to provide electric propulsion.

The transmission is a continuously variable electric drive unit that acts the same as if it were a streetcar. And like a streetcar, full torque delivery is immediate.

To increase efficiency, the driver can select between four drive modes—Normal, Sport, Mountain and Hold.

The latter is the most interesting for those on longer trips, where the engine can be used on the highway saving the battery for urban usage.

The interior is as high-tech as the drive system, with two interactive screens—a driver information centre where the main instrument cluster would normally be and the upper centre stack 178 mm (7.0 in) screen for secondary usages like the infotainment/Navi/climate controls and the all-important energy flow depiction.

The driver info screen is large and easy to see at a glance with an icon of a battery level on the left indicating charge level and a green ball on the right that goes up for (battery draw) or down for (battery regeneration) along with total range, fuel consumption (if any) and more.

Because of the sheer size of the battery pack that acts like a central spine, back seating is limited, and I mean limited, to two people but up front, it’s just fine.

Press the blue power button and the Volt hums into “ready” with nothing audible and that’s how the

It’s all because of Toyota’s Hybrid Synergy Drive system on the Camry that includes a 2.5-litre DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine with a 105 kW electric drive motor, producing 200 net hp.

Power for the system is stored in a sealed nickel-metal hydride battery, stored behind the rear seat.

Toyota gives Camry Hybrid flair

By Lorne Drury Gas-electric hybrid technology is commonplace these days, thanks largely to Toyota and its line of Prius models.

Toyota introduced the world’s first widely available production hybrid in 1997 and since then has sold more than five million hybrids around the world and more than 90,000 here in Canada.

While Toyota has gone “all in” with hybrids, sales really started to take off industry-wide when manufacturers started putting the technology into their standard sedans. That’s because many consumers wanted to embrace hybrids, but didn’t want to sacrifice sporty styling.

For those in that camp, take a look at the 2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid.

You may snicker when I mention the Camry, but for 2015 it has been redesigned from bumper to bumper. The result is a bolder, sportier new look.

Toyota says its designers and engineers “re-imagined nearly every exterior surface of the car, while the new, upscale interior features premium soft touch materi-

als throughout the spacious cabin.”

Underneath the new body, the chassis and body structure have been bolstered with more spot welds, resulting in enhanced rigidity for better ride quality. The suspension and steering systems have also been retuned to help provide more responsive handling.

Engineers focused on reducing unwanted wind and road noise to make the cabin even quieter.

Window and door seals were improved to keep out unwanted noise and the carpet has 30 per cent more insulating material. Even the side mirrors were reworked to better control air flow and reduce turbulence and noise.

Overall, the new car is slightly longer by 45 mm and has a widened track by 100 mm.

The Camry Hybrid gives Toyota six hybrid models in its portfolio with a seventh in the form of the RAV4 Hybrid available soon. There are four hybrids in the Prius family along with the Highlander Hybrid.

Putting the Hybrid Synergy Drive into this car is a no-brainer for Toyota, given the success the Camry sedan has had over the years.

It’s a perennial leader in mid-size car sales here and south of the border because

it offers what buyers want in a mid-size offering— roominess, reliability and fuel-efficiency.

The hybrid version of the Camry offers all of the above, and then improves on the level of fuel-efficiency, particularly when it comes to city driving.

The Camry Hybrid is available in three distinct models.

The LE is the base model, starting at $28,710. The sporty SE ($29,935) was first introduced in 2014 as a special edition, but because of its popularity it is now part of the permanent lineup for 2015.

Our XLE tester had a base price of $34,800, but with taxes and freight and PDI, came as tested at $36,552.

Standard on this model for 2015 are features such as LED daytime running lights, unique wheels, leather-clad heated front seats, leather shift knob, premium navigation system, moonroof, JBL audio system, blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert system, wireless charger and integrated garage door opener.

Fuel economy is what gives the Camry Hybrid a leg up over other vehicles in the mid-size pack.

What’s Best: Fuel economy, of course, if the bulk of your driving is done in an urban environment.

What’s Worst: Trunk space is compromised due to the battery pack behind the rear seat.

What’s Interesting: While it’s far from sports car styling, Toyota has done an excellent job of restyling the Camry into a vehicle that just might attract a younger demographic.

than the typical new conventional vehicle.

For those who have never driven a hybrid, you’d be surprised how seamless everything operates.

When you consider that the car is being propelled either through electric power alone, gas power alone or a combination of the two, it seems like a very complicated system.

And it is, but for the driver, it is all done automatically with onboard computers controlling the entire operation, even stopping the engine when the car is at rest and starting it again when the foot comes off the brake pedal.

Natural Resources Canada pegs the Camry Hybrid XLE fuel economy at 5.7/6.1/5.9L/100 km city/ hwy/combined. Note that the city figure is better than the highway one, opposite to what you find with gasoline-only models.

In my test period, I averaged 6.3L/100 km, but it was mostly high-speed highway travel. Even then, that’s considerably better than the posted combined figures of 8.4 and 9.5 for the four-cylinder automatic and V6 automatic models respectively of the Camry.

The Camry Hybrid will hold five passengers; four comfortably and there is 370

litres of cargo space in the trunk. The pass-through is small, though, because the battery area takes up space in the rear.

On the road, the Camry Hybrid has decent acceleration for a four-door sedan.

The handling and steering are improved thanks to the suspension and chassis upgrades.

In short, it does everything well and now has more exciting styling, which Toyota hopes will attract a younger buyer.

With a price in the mid$30s, the Camry Hybrid XLE is not inexpensive.

But with the improvements for 2015, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a nice bump in sales for this hybrid model.

Chevy Volt

driveway

Porsche Cayenne comes in many varieties

from page 4

from page 3

Volt is for the rest of your journey—silent except for the tires on the pavement.

Because you know there’s the engine as back up, it’s possible to travel at higher flow of traffic rates without clinging to the inside lane amongst the big trucks trying to conserve the battery.

And because this is an electric car, energy consumption is measured in e-litres. Thus the Volt on battery alone comes in at 2.3/2.5/2.4Le/100 km (123/113/118 mpg) city/highway/combined.

Using the 1.4-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder, it is 6.7/5/9/6.4 (42/48/44 mpg).

As mentioned above, I did 202 km with no gasoline. If my wife drove the Volt back forth to work (15 minutes), she could drive it for a year without a fill up.

According to NRCan, the yearly “average” cost to operate a Volt would be $514 in electricity and $1,792 in fuel.

The Volt as tested here started at $37,195. But there were a bunch of options, such as $1,210 for leather and $1,145 for Tricoat white paint, both of which I could live without.

But the $795 for MyLink infotainment, $795 for rear park assist, rear vision camera and auto dimming mirror is good value, as is $625 for forward crash alert, front park assist and land departure warning plus another $685 for the Bose premium sound

price of $108,200 when you add in the optional features such as a GTS interior package in Carmine Red ($3,900), sunroof ($1,360), LED headlights ($1,680), Bose infotainment package ($2,280), park assist front and rear ($750) and other stand-alone features.

Not only is the GTS quick, it has the sound to go with it thanks to a sport exhaust system and sound symposer that creates what Porsche refers to as a “passionate engine sound.”

The GTS differs from other Cayenne models in ride height. It has been lowered 20 mm and comes standard with air suspension and the braking system from the Cayenne Turbo, featuring 390 mm front discs and 358 mm rear discs, both highlighted by red brake calipers.

All models come with an eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. In this system, power is transferred to the rear wheels and then routed to the front wheels as needed.

Volt charger. system for a grand total of $44,050 including a $1,600 shipping fee.

Sounds like a lot, but Ontario offers an $8,500 cash rebate. Quebec offers $8,000 and B.C. $5,000.

Add to that the next generation 2016 Volt is coming soon, so Chev dealers may be inclined to make a deal.

If you’ve considered an electric car, the timing and pricing right now could be enough to put you behind the wheel of a Volt.

What’s Best: Having an electric car and concentrating on where you want to go instead of concentrating on where to find your next charge.

What’s Worst: White-onwhite, grain of rice-sized buttons for secondary controls that are hard to see at a glance and even harder to operate: What’s Interesting: All-electric car cost of operation without the limitations.

Jim Robinson is an automotive reporter for Metroland Media.

Wheels.ca

The GTS has many of the Cayenne Turbo design cues including the front end with large air intakes. There is a GTS logo on the lower section of the front doors.

The SportDesign Package is standard equipment and it includes more powerfully contoured side skirts, and wheel arch extensions as well as the Turbo front end.

Wheels are 20-inchers with a black satin finish.

Inside, the cabin is beautifully finished, particularly with our optional GTS package in Carmine Red. The Cayenne line starts with the base model at $67,400, moving up to the Turbo S at $178,100. It’s quite a range for one vehicle line.

For some, the base Cayenne will be plenty powerful and sporty enough, but others will want more of the above

and the extra features that come with higher-end models. In short, there’s something for every taste.

Not having sampled all the itinerants, it’s hard to say whether the GTS is worth the extra coin over some of the other models.

But after a week with the GTS, I can say it would be an easy vehicle to live with.

There’s power galore, fuel economy numbers are decent—10.4/14.5/12.6 L/100 km city/hwy/combined. The interior is sharply dressed and luxurious and the handling is superb for a vehicle weighing 2,110 kg (4,652 lb).

All in all a nice package with power that will knock your socks off.

What’s Best: The Cayenne lineup includes seven

Porsche Cayenne GTS cockpit details. different variants including the GTS, which may offer the best combination of performance and panache.

What’s Worst: The price can easily creep up when you start adding options. Our tester started at $108,200 and ended at $124,285 when options and delivery are added.

What’s Interesting: There is a huge price difference between the entry-level Cayenne ($67,400) and the top-end Turbo S ($178,100).
