Fisheries biologist Darryl Arsenault is helping oversee the transformation of Fascieux Creek in Kelowna.

Creating a new life for Fascieux Creek in Kelowna Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Tucked behind KLO Middle School, life is emerging from what was once little more than a sterile stretch of concrete and grass.

A newly meandering portion of Fascieux Creek, fit with a tiny pond, is home to birds of all different kinds, an incubation ground for turtle eggs, and a pathway for fish to snack en route to Okanagan Lake.

and plant species building a life around the pond and naturalized 70-metre stretch of the creek that’s unromantically called Phase I would be a daunting task for most, but one that Darryl Arsenault, a fisheries biologist with Golder Associates, could

likely do with ease.

Arsenault has been helping oversee the creek’s transformation since the project—which was conceived when students found Western

CREEK FROM A1 painted turtle eggs in the school’s long jump pit in 2011—came together.

And he’s been there working, ripping up weeds and planning up new ways to make life better for all types of life in the creek, ever since.

Even more so over the last few weeks, as Phase II got underway.

“We have put a lot into this,” he said Thursday morning.

“We like to see kids have something natural and we want to give them something to cherish that’s not just concrete and grass… maybe it will give someone an opportunity to do something in their future, like becoming a biologist, that they didn’t know existed.”

When the KLO Middle School kids go back to school in September, the newest 100-metre phase of the site—soon to be fit with a bridge and an island—will be reshaped

to align with the portion that’s currently gurgling with life.

Water that was siphoned off as the heavy-labour part of restoration got underway this month, will flood the creek as students once again get a chance to foster their inner biologists by observing the creatures that live in the space and planting vegetation natural to the environment.

Cottonwood and willow trees will likely be planted, offering shade for future generations.

Already, Arsenault has a new willow tree rising from the turtle pond in the restored section of the creek.

“I found a dead stump at the dump, and I planted it here and it’s come to life,” he said.

As he walked along the banks of the creek, ripping up the sprouts of invasive Siberian elm, he discovered that a cottonwood tree had taken root.

“This is a really good sign that it’s coming back all by itself,” he said, his enthusiasm palpable.

“It’s amazing….As soon as you add water, you get soup and you get life.”

It’s a far cry from what was there before.

Like all urban areas, Fascieux Creek was altered to meet the needs of its settlers.

It was once likely a wetland nearly 50 metres wide, but when farmers moved in it was narrowed so they’d have more agricultural land.

Somewhere in its history, it became a dump, he said.

Then it was a schoolyard and sports field.

For that last reason, there was a contingent of teachers opposed to the restoration program, when another teacher first pitched the idea, he said.

“They didn’t want it to get in the way of PE,” Arsenault said, adding

But most everyone alive today would likely only remember water being diverted through culverts and covered by large pavers.

The most recent version of what’s happening is being welcomed by the community.

Two women who were walking through Thursday, stopped to speak with Arsenault

that they’ll be fencing around the creek by the end of September, to minimize the contact between sports being played and the creek running through the area.

All versions of land use have been made evident as the process of restoration has moved forward, said Arsenault, noting that peat, old newspapers, and even silverware have been

about what’s being done, and sang the praises of the project.

“I think it’s going to be beautiful,” said Hilda Hecko.

Her friend added that they’ve been watching the area with some concern for awhile, and what’s being done today is welcomed.

The restoration project, including the value of inkind contributions and

volunteer labour, will cost about $400,000.

The biggest contributors have been the BC Wildlife Federation and the Okanagan Water Basin Board.

A grand opening will be held next month, when the water floods through the space and the students get back to learning from the land. @kelownanewsKAT

Kangaroo Creek Farm to charge admission Kathy Michaels

a post by farm owners Greg and Caroline Wightman. “Apparently my employee failed to use the word ‘donation’ and called it a ‘fee.’”

That’s when the conversation ramped up and the woman allegedly said that Kangaroo Creek Farm should not be charging a fee because they are only there “on sufferance and owe her something because (they) are such a burden to the community.”

She claimed to be upset that visitors are parking on Main Street or getting in her way when she’s trying to shop for groceries.

The Wightmans say that they are negotiating with Lake Country to get a parking lot, that they will pay for, but that can only happen at the District of Lake Country speed.

kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

A hopping mad visitor to Lake Country’s Kangaroo Creek Farm has meant a change in the business format.

As was spelled out on the farm’s Facebook page this week, admission is now $5 per person for those five years old and up or $20 for a family of five.

The donation box that once was the sole source of revenue will still be up if anyone would like to make an additional contribution.

“The straw that broke the farm’s back was a woman who visited today that didn’t like the fact that we had someone on the gate ‘helping’ people with their donations,” read

The farm will continue with its community service in the Lake Country schools, daycares, retirement homes, institutions and various clubs.

In addition, the farm will be printing up “admit one family” coupons to be distributed at the local food bank’s discretion to their registered clients.

It’s a change in business model that’s of no concern to the vast majority of those who visit the attraction. The Facebook page where the incident is spelled out is filled of commentary supporting the decision, with many pointing out the fee is less than they usually donated.

Even the president of the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce offered their support. “Twice this summer I took friends from Alberta

to the farm and my guests gladly paid the $5/person suggested donation, appreciated the chilled bottle of water and enjoyed walking amongst the animals in this quaint acreage along the creek,” said Kirbey Lockhart in a letter to the Lake Country BARRY GERDING/CAPITAL NEWS Calendar.

Job losses higher than was originally anticipated kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

When Kelowna Flightcraft announced it was losing two of its most lucrative contracts in February 2014, local layoffs were expected to come in at just over a dozen.

Now, a year and half later, it’s clear the local economy will take a much bigger hit.

Tracy Medve, the president of what’s now KF Aerospace, said there has been an eight per cent reduction in the company’s workforce at its aircraft maintenance and service centres in Kelowna and Hamilton.

That amounts to roughly 60 job losses, locally.

“We appreciate very much the hard work and dedication of the men and women at KF Aerospace. Such changes

are never easy but they are necessary in the wake of the changes to our business earlier this year,” said Medve.

Last year’s loss of two high-profile contracts— Purolator Courier’s mainline operations and Canada Post mail service—were estimated to be worth upwards of $1 billion, and are driving the change.

The Canada Post contract was awarded

to Mississauga Ontariobased competitor Cargojet.

When that contract loss was announced, Grant Stevens, Flightcraft’s director of human resources, said the company had until March of this year to replace that lost business with something just as lucrative, or cuts would come.

“As we look at the forecast moving forward,

and listen to all the talk on LNG, we can see that there’s demand for heavy lift (services) to the north,” said Stevens, in February 2014. “That may be an opportunity for us.”

If they couldn’t, he said a fleet of 18 airplanes would be grounded.

In jobs that amounted to 115 pilot positions being lost, the vast majority of whom don’t live in the Okanagan.

The company’s military pilot training business has not been impacted by the

There were also 15 flight operations support staff in Kelowna that were at risk if we aren’t able to replace the work.

An eight per cent loss to aircraft maintenance and service centres was not projected.

As for finding new contracts, some headway has been made.

Liberal candidate Karley Scott is hoping to take the Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola riding away from the Conservatives for the first time in 47 years.

Scott believes her own personal diversity matches well with the incredible diversity of the riding.

Scott explained she is from a small aboriginal community in northern Saskatchewan, has lived in large and small communities, is Metis, and has lived in three provinces—all aspects of her life that she says make her diverse.

Wood: Health care funding a concern WOOD FROM A6 artwork, worked at the Museum of Anthropology in Vancouver and currently works as a coordinator with different levels of government to build healthier communities.

She explained it was activism that got her into politics.

“When I moved to the Similkameen, there was a coal-fired power generation plant being planned for just above Princeton,” she recalled.

“The Similkameen Valley has incredible air quality, but being a very dry-land climate, the threat of an unhealthy, poor functioning coal-powered power generation plant is huge.

“There are so many environmental considerations and the fact this plant was scheduled to go in

number of issues on her mind that she feels need to be addressed.

“What I keep hearing in the communities is health care is a huge issue,” she explained.

“Many Canadians are still not aware that Stephen Harper’s Conservatives have still not signed the Health Accord between the feds and the provinces.

“That Health Accord is what determines a fair and equitable distribution of the funds we pay into taxes all the time.

“By giving the provinces more power into how the money is distributed, it opens the door to a two-tier system and the beginnings of

Princeton, and all of the air in our valley cycles from the west to the east, and it would all go towards the organic growing capital of Canada (Hedley).

“With a number of other people we worked very hard to lobby the government to have it not approved, and we were successful.”

After successfully powering down the plant proposal, Wood was elected as a director for the OkanaganSimilkameen Regional District board from 2011 to 2014.

It was there that Atamanenko informed her that he planned to retire from politics, and that he hoped she would succeed him as the NDP candidate in the next federal election.

After some initial shock, Wood said yes, and now she has a

privatization. And many Canadians, if they knew it was on the block, would be upset.”

Wood noted all of the rural communities she is looking to represent were also upset by the difficulty to maintain good doctors, and that climate change is another major issue, particularly in our region with all of the forest fires experienced in B.C. this summer.

She added many communities also have concerns about water, and she finds the gutting of the Fisheries Act appalling as it created conditions where things are happening that are threatening water supplies.

Are You Taking Care of Your Shoulder Pain? Discover a New Option.

Shoulder aches and pains are common, but because our arms seldom get a rest, these aches often become chronic injuries: knots, spasms, frozen shoulder and tendonitis.

Many of us learn to live with it and think, “It’s a part of my lifestyle or job”. Many of us have had chronic tendonitis, making it difficult to lift a carton of milk or wash our hair. And many of us have exhausted a variety of therapies.

Over and over in my practice I hear, “I have been dealing with this injury for months or years and tried everything. Nothing has worked… what do I do?”

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association 2005, shockwave therapy had a 91% success rate for the treatment of calcific Rotator Cuff Tendonitis.

Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

I tell them about the tennis elbow and shoulder tendonitis I had, both of which nearly caused me to shut down my practice. I talk about the multitude of therapies I tried to no avail. Then I talk about Shockwave

It is in those injuries that have lingered for months or years where shockwave shines. If you have chronic shoulder injuries, don’t give up hope. If I had, I would not be in practice today.

Most therapies have an affect only on new injuries that are days to weeks old. Once scar tissue forms and healing stops (chronic), we are at the mercy of the injury.

Disconnect between smokers and wildfires To the editor: I am constantly reminded of the disconnect between the raging fires, the millions spent, the burned out homes and businesses and the driver in front of me with the cigarette hanging out the window.

LETTER OF THE WEEK The potential to cause financial loss and social upheaval, exists with every puff and the eventual flick to the dry grass at roadside.

Yet, it continues unabated, while the mobile arsonist cruises down the highway, oblivious to the rising column of smoke in the rear view mirror.

In times past and under similar perilously dry conditions, forest roads were chained off and no access was allowed to anyone. This meant logging crews, campers, even hikers were banned as even the slightest spark from a motorcycle exhaust, a spark from a

chainsaw blade on a rock etc. had the potential for millions of dollars in devastation.

We seem to have lost the perception of just how dangerous our present situation is and the provincial government is just now stepping away from its polite “man-made fire” explanations on the news, to state that they are looking for the culprit. For the firebug to drive home to his/her comfortable home or apartment and casually leave behind the victims with no home, income, lost stock and lifestyle, is incomprehensible.

Clearly, there needs to be accountability and consequences more in keeping with the tab it takes to put out the fire and rebuild the lives of those affected.

Forfeiture of home, property and future income needs to be considered/levied against those who just don’t connect with the scope of their irresponsibility.

As smoking is a potent addiction, perhaps a stiff deposit for the return of the cigarette butts could be considered. The thought of

Kelowna’s ‘less stellar’ intellects on display “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always Kathartic been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural KATHY life, nurtured by the false notion that MICHAELS democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge,” said Isaac Asimov, a famed science fiction writer, in a Newsweek column decades ago.

Substitute “Kelowna” where the “United States” is and you have the quote that came to mind this morning when I read yet another series of comments aimed at adding malevolent intent into the city’s new rainbow crosswalks.

One of the champions of bland road markings even invoked the name of the Supreme Court of Canada this week as they railed against the city for splashing around a little colour in support of the LGBTQ community.

Of course, there were no specific grounds for legal action offered, as doing that would require a higher level of understanding of this country’s court system.

There was, however, mention yet again about misuse of taxpayers’ money.

Concern about the cost of a few paltry cans of paint, but none for the buckets of dollars that would be spent on a Supreme Court Challenge dealing with the winging of a small minority.?

That wrong-minded belief that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge” has people all worked up and pixels are being wasted from one end of the Internet to the other, breathing life into the angry thoughts being made by the vocal minority.

But why are we talking about it at all? From what I can see there has been no legal action. These are just the hateful ramblings of a few malcontents being blown way out of proportion.

There is no place for hateful vitriol in my world, but I’ve been forced to read these foolish views over and over again. I know what this community is about, so I know where to file this rubbish, but I wonder about everyone else.

Kelowna has some warts, but the vast majority of people who live in this community are decent, openminded and kind.

I have no empirical evidence, but I do talk to a Newsroom: Sean Connor, Warren Henderson, Kathy Michaels, Kevin Parnell, Jean Russell, Alistair Waters Advertising: Tracy Cole, Ron Harding, Teresa Huscroft-Brown, Sheri Jackson, Robert Lindsay, Rick Methot,Christine Mould, Megan Munro, Meghan Toews, Al Tomiak, Kimberley Vico Classified: Michelle Trudeau, Emily Vergnano Production: Nancy Blow, Janice Collier, Shayla Graf, Kiana Haner-Wilk, Fatima Hartmann, Nadine Krahn, Tiffany

lot of people and I’m sure most of them value the type of inclusivity needed for a healthy, functioning, forward-moving society. (In case you don’t, the United Nations laid out the case for inclusivity during the World Summit for Social Development, which was held in March 1995.)

So there’s something strangely self loathing about the way Kelowna lifts its less stellar representatives into the spotlight for all the world to see and judge us by.

M Does anyone honestly believe there aren’t bigots in Vancouver, Victoria and wherever else these crosswalks have been painted? t Of course there are. w Those cities just don’t air their ugly bits in the same inglorious fashion as we do ours, by tweeting, v facebooking and generally coverting them into a undeserved legitimacy. i Education campaigns in those cities, just as fi in ours, do the heavy lifting when it comes to enlightenment. And,as more people become aware, that knowledge and understanding spreads. Never once has an online flame-war amounted to a clearer perspective.

Letters ACCESS FOR EVERYONE

Rotary makes visits to observatory possible To the editor: Many thanks to the Rotary Club of Kelowna Morningside for their generous donation to the Okanagan Observatory which is being used to fund the once a month free bus ride to the astronomical observatory for mobility challenged guests.

The bus service is provided by People in Motion and is available to anyone with mobility challenges including room for four wheelchairs on every trip. The observatory has a special eyepiece that makes it possible for persons in wheelchairs to have the same direct visual observations of comets, star clusters and galaxies as everyone else.

The Rotary Club of Kelowna Morningside bus service is the final touch to the access inclusivity that makes the Okanagan Observatory one of the most welcoming observatories in North America.

The observatory is located just a thirtyminute drive east of Kelowna and has been offering free public observing nights every Friday that weather permits for seven years.

The events begin at dusk with a live audio/ visual presentation followed by telescope observing at darkness. Every Friday afternoon starting at 3 p.m. phone messages are posted on the Okanagan Observatory event phone 250-300-8759 notifying if weather conditions

will permit the observatory to be open as well as the program starting time.

Weary travelers helped by ‘ambassadors’ Open letter to Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran: It has been my experience that the people on the frontline are often those that have been forgotten when the plaudits are being handed out.

We arrived late afternoon of August 1 in your fine city with no place to stay for the night. This was an impromptu trip, it was the opportunity for the family, residing across the country, to get together for the first time in many years.

Knowing that the possibility, being the summer’s long weekend, of obtaining preferred lodging would be based on luck and faith, we approached our usual choice.

They immediately referred us to the Tourist Information office as our only hope.

Thank you!

Locating the office with less than an hour of their posted operating times, we entered a busy service expecting tired, looking forward to their own long weekend, uninterested employees with the easy rhetoric “everything

is booked.“ Were we ever surprised. Your wonderful ambassadors at 544 Harvey Ave. provided the expected disclaimers followed with “Let’s see what we can do.”

We witnessed two congenial professionals work the phones looking for accommodation or leads for same. It was an amazing display of a team working together in an effort to uphold their city’s reputation as the travelers’ destination.

We had all but resigned ourselves to sleeping on the floor, backseat of the car when one of the ladies hit on a possibility.

Knowing that our main area of activity would be in Peachland, would it be OK to be north of the city. Of course. They were willing to put the effort in to look way outside their jurisdiction, knowing that this may be the only room available for 100 km. It turned out that The Wheel House bed and breakfast in Lake Country was a home run for us. One of the best B&Bs we have been to anywhere.

The opportunity to unite a family was

Time to ignore the irrational on social media soapboxes

MICHAELS FROM A8 So, here’s my request, Kelowna.

Let’s just shut it down. It’s wrong. We know that the nasty thoughts of small groups are wrong. And we know they don’t share the view of the majority.

Let the awful people lurking in dark corners and on unsavoury Internet chat forums stay in their dark corners and let’s collectively fight the instinct to share or weigh in on their

ignorance. In the age of the Internet, we all have great publishing power, so we should use it judiciously.

Then the rest of us can have some peace of mind when we use the lovely new colourful crosswalks and some pride for the city that chose to set us off on the right foot.

throwing away a $5 cigarette butt might be an inducement to keep it in the car ashtray to be returned. Further, it might help to build a ‘war chest’ of funds to offset the horrendous loss of millions in firefighting costs.

It is understood that smokers are not responsible for all forest fires, lightning does play its part and always has. However, the large blackened sections along the roadside and at forest trailheads is a no brainer as to the cause.

Get involved to change usual politics To the editor: Currently, the majority of our money in the form of taxes is being squandered at the expense of a world very few of us want. It’s time for change.

Government and business have formed a one per cent alliance with an agenda that is proving difficult to break apart and the 99 per cent do not want—their time is past.

On Oct. 19 Canadians have an opportunity to shape how Canada will look to our future generations.

Get involved Canada, make sure you are eligible to vote (that one per cent are doing their level best to continue rigging the game), then get out and vote on Oct. 19.

“This summer, government resources and first responders are being stretched to the limit,” said Mulcair.

“It’s going to take more than a Conservative photo-op to protect our communities.”

Bowman said, in B.C. most emergency preparedness and response is handled by the provincial government with some federal funding provided.

“Only with a coordinated response by all levels of government can we ensure everyone in our community remains safe and housed, and our beautiful natural environment is preserved for future generations,” said Bowman.

She added the current wildfire crisis is “inextricably” linked to climate change, as 2015 is expected to be the hottest year on record.

On Wednesday it was announced July 2015 was the hottest month globally in recorded history.

Bowman said protection of the environment and climate change are two of the issues she hears cited most often by riding residents as she goes door to door during this election campaign asking voters what their concerns are.

Good hearing but trouble with conversation?

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out.

A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells do not work properly then quiet

a good solution for most people.

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background.

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates sounds are no longer naturally who have trouble hearing speech in amplified in the ear and loud sounds the situations discussed above and can benefit from a demonstration no longer dampened. to see whether they notice an This leads to more difficulty in improvement. hearing what is said in a lot of situations.

Partisan politics entered into public gathering to save home delivery

SUPPORTING THE CANADIAN MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION

Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

It was billed as a rally to protest cuts at Canada Post, including the phasing out of remaining door-to-door delivery of mail in this country, in favour of using community mail boxes.

And all the candidates running for MP in both Kelowna-Lake Country and Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola were invited to attend and speak.

It would have been the first meeting of all the candidates at one event during the 11-week election campaign. But that did not happen.

Pretty much from the start, it was clear the rally in Kelowna Wednesday afternoon was as much, if not more so, a call to defeat the current Conservative government than it was a non-partisan bid to save Canada Post.

An Ontario couple moving to the Lower Mainland owns the boat.

It was moored in zebra mussel-infested Rideau Canal before being transported west.

The owner had inspected the boat before leaving Ontario. It was stopped on the weekend

by Alberta inspectors and, when mussels were found, it was decontaminated.

Alberta called the B.C. Conservation Office in charge of inspection and decontamination, to tell them a boat was on its way. The boater was ordered to have a followup inspection in Kelowna.

Within minutes of the boat pulling in to where the training was taking place, B.C. inspectors detected several sand grain-sized mussels around the boat’s legs, trim-tabs and props.

The boat had reportedly been out of water for 30 days and had been properly drained. Still, not taking any chances, after the inspection in the parking lot and taking a sample, the boat was moved to a gravel location for decontamination.

The mussel samples have been sent to a lab to determine if they were alive. It is illegal in B.C. to transport the mussels dead or alive.

According to provincial staff, there have been at least 15 high-risk boats decontaminated in B.C. so far this summer.

Further testing suggests none had live mussels on board. However, several fines were issued, including for failure to stop at an inspection station.

Some of the boats were also quarantined to ensure they were out of the water and dry for 30 days.

News of this latest incident left OBWB chairman Doug Findlater shaking his head. “While B.C.’s Conservation Officer team is conscientious and taking this seriously, we still don’t have a lock down system in place,” he said.

“The fact that this boat had to go through two inspections and decontaminations, shows how difficult it is to fight this. If we are going to be successful in keeping these mussels out of our waters, it will take serious vigilance.”

Findlater, the mayor of West Kelowna, said B.C. is still relying on others to let it know when an atrisk watercraft is coming into the province. “And we’re relying on an honour system,” he said. “(These boaters) were asked to find their way to Kelowna to be checked and they did. That’s great, but what if they hadn’t, and what if they had live mussels and launched their boat in B.C.?”

Last March, the province announced $575,000 in 2015-16 to help fight the mussels, with the majority of the money going to three roving inspection crews (with two COs each).

Another three roving teams were announced in July, with funding from Columbia Basin Trust.

The water board has called for permanent inspection stations where stopping is mandatory, as has been done in Alberta and many U.S. jurisdictions.

In particular, the OBWB has called for stations at the five main highway entry points on the B.C.Alberta border.

The province has estimated each inspection station would cost $60,000 to $160,000 each per year). Research done for the OBWB estimates an infestation would cost $43 million to the Okanagan alone.

news __________________________ RALLY FOR POSTEES

www.kelownacapnews.com A15

Criticism for Conservatives RALLY FROM A12 “In 60 days we will change this government,” vowed Palecek to a loud cheer from the crowd of approximately 90 people.

He then brought out his guitar and sang a song he said he wrote and dedicated to Conservative leader Stephen Harper. It blasted Harper and his government.

It was not the only song at the event.

Earlier, local mail carrier Eldon Goossen sang an adapted version of Chilliwack’s hit Gone, Gone, Gone to protest the end of door-to-door mail delivery.

Despite his own call for an end to the current Conservative government, Ward, said it was not his intention that the rally be politically partisan.

But, he said, the Conservatives are the only party in the current election campaign that has come out in favour of the Canada Post cuts.

The Liberals, he said, have indicated they would stop the elimination of doorto-door delivery and study the need for it, not giving a definitive answer. The NDP would restore door-to-door delivery, he said.

Despite Canada Post making a profit of $200 million last year, both Ward and Palecek said the government and the corporation both claim it is not profitable and the cuts are necessary. Ward said the government wants to see Canada Post

Back to School

privatized.

If the local Conservative, Liberal, Green and Libertarian candidates had attended the rally, Ward said he would have asked them to publicly state their position on the cuts at Canada Post.

Both Wood and Bowman made it clear they are opposed.

The crowd that gathered outside the Capri Centre Mall, where incumbent Conservative Ron Cannan’s constituency office is located, were solidly behind the them, cheering loudly every time they were urged to defeat the government and yelling “shame” when Wood and Bowman criticized Tory plans, programs or political moves.

Both stressed their rural routes and the importance of the post office and mail delivery in small town Canada.

Palecek arrived at the rally in a motor home emblazoned with the words Stop The Cuts in red, that is being driven from east to west across Canada and then back to Ontario during the election campaign to help drum up public support for the union’s position.

In addition to ending door-to-door delivery—approximately 50 per cent of mail across Canada is delivered that way today, said Palecek—the Canada Post cuts, also include downsizing post offices, privatizing postal outlets and making changes to the existing pension plan for Canada Post workers, according to the union.

My wife uses the dashboard as a footstool.

She’s not alone; keep an eye out and you’ll notice that it’s a fairly common passenger posture.

I prefer to train my “road safety sights” on those who cause crashes, not on the victims.

If we could eliminate the negligent, inattentive driving, we wouldn’t have victims in the first place.

It gives me a sick feeling in my stomach to consider the following “Yes, but…”: “Yes, if I

Melanie Kalloo, Team Captain, with her team.

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT had been simply paying attention to the road ahead of me, I would not have crashed into the back of your stopped vehicle, but you weren’t wearing your seatbelt so I shouldn’t be held as accountable for your injuries.”

But the feeling in my stomach doesn’t stop those arguments from being made, and our civil justice system will give effect to those arguments in certain circumstances.

What circumstances?

There must be two critical components. One is a failure on the crash victim’s part to take reasonable care for his or her own safety. In legal terms, the crash victim must have been “negligent.”

What care is “reasonable care?” It’s a level of care that would be used by an ordinary, reasonable person.

Way back in the day when I was a child, before seatbelts were commonly used, the failure to wear a seatbelt would not have been negligent. Today, when most everyone takes the step of buckling up, it is.

There is another critical

component, though, which takes more than an unbuckled seatbelt to reduce the accountability of a negligent driver.

It takes proof, on a balance of probabilities, that the victim’s injuries would have been less had he or she been wearing a seatbelt.

While the value of seatbelts in keeping us from bashing into dashboards or flying out of windshields is without question, this is far from a “given” in most, lessdramatic collisions.

Is it negligent to use the dashboard as a footstool? My research might not have been thorough enough, but the only court decision I could find that is directly

The judge did not find the victim negligent, noting: “…it is not an unreasonable act for a person to travel in a vehicle…placing a foot on the dashboard of a vehicle. I am of the view that a person seated in that manner could not reasonably foresee that it would pose a danger to them.”

There has been a dramatic change in the “footstool” since 1989, i.e. the installation of air bags. On air bag deployment, that footstool comes back at you at speeds in the range of 320 kilometres per hour.

What will happen to you if your foot, or part of your leg, is in the way of that air bag? It’s not hard to imagine that the consequences would be much worse than simply bracing your foot against the dash in a frontal impact.

One example—I forwarded my wife an article by a trauma surgeon showing the picture of a foot that had been smashed out of the windshield by an airbag, much of the foot scraped off as the upside-down car scraped along the asphalt.

Another example is that of Bethany Benson, a young woman who has told her story to help prevent others from suffering the same fate, of her lifelong, disabling injuries arising because her knees were slammed into her face.

Regardless of the legal implications, please don’t use your dashboard as a footstool. My wife, on reviewing my draft of this column, has committed to me that she won’t any longer. paul@hlaw.ca

Transformative dance returns to Kelowna

SPORTS • GYMNASTICS • MUSIC • DANCE • MARTIAL ARTS • SWIMMING • ARTS • SKATING

SIGN ME UP!

Dance instructor Bettina Rothe brings her 5Rhythms® workshop, Rhythm and Soul, to Kelowna on Sept 11 and 12.

The 5Rhythms® are a liberating approach to the exploration of improvised movement and dance that is authentic, inspired and catalytic. It is a workout for body and soul, a moving meditation, a spiritual practice designed to release the dancer that lives in every body, regardless of age, experience or condition.

The practice taps into five different patterns of movement and ways of being. Some rhythms are like dear old friends and feel familiar. Others might be foreign and even uncomfortable.

This is the second 5Rhythms® workshop to take place in Kelowna.

The first, held in April

2015, was well received, with more than 40 people participating over two days.

The workshop is structured with an open, introductory session on Friday, Sept. 11, from 6:30 to 10 p.m. and then a full day of dancing on Saturday, Sept. 12 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. People can sign up for the Friday or Saturday session, or for the full workshop.

While no previous experience is necessary, those who have not danced 5Rhythms® before are encouraged to join the Friday night introductory session.

All sessions will be held at the Kelowna Unitarian Church, 1310 Bertram St., in Kelowna.

Rothe is a facilitator of conscious movement practices and community building whose work is grounded in holistic, somatic-based modalities

with a strong focus on the 5Rhythms®, Gabrielle Roth’s powerful movement form.

Full workshop fee is $140 or $120 early bird.

Friday only is $45, or $35 early bird.

Saturday only is $105 / $95 early bird.

news _____________________________________________________________________ BAD REFLECTION ON KELOWNA

Bombarded by negativity in social media world Even writers have the occasional moment where the right word to describe their feelings does not appear on the tip of the tongue when needed. Like right now.

Tolerance may not be the correct vernacular I am searching for because the term comes with a connotation of arrogance or holier than thou attitude.

In this case, arrogance or judgment is the last word I am looking for.

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE Perhaps it is acceptance, or understanding, or another term my brain is simply too rattled to recall at the moment.

But whatever, the scenario is one I find as a sad reflection of the

anger, narrow minded and mean spirited nature of some folks.

As many Canadians do, my morning ritual now includes hopping on to the Internet early in my day while I enjoy my second or third coffee of the morning.

My morning coffee breaks used to involve a cigarette and a cup of java while either catching

the news on radio or TV. Technology has now added online news feeds to the list.

While online info may be quieter and available when I am ready (not ‘on the hour’) it also comes with a lot more thin research and anonymous critics. Regardless, it serves a role.

Reading and reviewing the Wednesday headlines, however, on various local websites and channels was an exercise in

depression and dismay.

Like many I admit to being flabbergasted by an irate Kelowna woman, Nancy Enns, berating city council for painting a crosswalk in rainbow colours and demanding that it be repainted.

Clearly an angry and intolerant soul, Ms. Enns quickly fueled a debate on Castanet and elsewhere with her demands and venom.

Her profoundly disturbing diatribe, as

mean as it was, paled in comparison to the off the wall, relentless bombardment of insults and foul language just the day before spouted by a Conservative supporter on national television.

The clip of the arrogant, rude, nasty man verbally attacking news reporters with profanity and slanderous comments rocked even veteran journalists such as myself.

Anger management and a reassessment of medication may be in order.

As I sat somewhat dumbfounded by the sea of anger and negativity, I shook my head at the apparent wasted energy of some folks.

I sat down with the computer prepared to respond with shots and stabs of my own until I read a brief Facebook comment by local website journalist Marshall Jones.

His wise words saved me somewhat from jumping on the bandwagon of joining the modern day version of a witch burning.

Jones wrote: “I’ve been asked a dozen times today if we are doing a story on the mindless ramblings of some random woman who has a bigoted opinion about rainbow sidewalks. “I see news orgs piling on just for pageviews and controversy for controversy’s sake. I see people sharing this sh**. “My answer is no, we are not doing a story on it. Random fools with unfounded opinions is not news and I’m a little ashamed this is what passes for discourse. This

is not representative of my city just because a couple of websites think this is worth sharing with their readers.�

While granted his retort has its own caustic taste, the point he makes is sound. Ragging on or publicizing someone’s angry vileness hardly serves any valid purpose other than to perpetuate the problem.

Ironically, a few minutes later I found another online posting by another local journalist.

Sean Connor posted what is titled ‘Tips for Men.’ For the sake of space I have deleted a few but give some thought to this advice: Always look a person in the eye when you talk to them.

Be conscious of your body language.

Stand up to shake hands and give a firm hand shake .

Nothing looks more badass than a well tailored suit.

Never hit anyone unless they are a direct threat.

Learn to wet shave.

Shave with the grain on the first pass.

Compliment her shoes and open all doors. It is still considered polite.

Brush your teeth before you put on a tie.

Never wear a clip-on tie.

Call your parents every week.

If you aren’t comfortable fake it. It will come.

Our butts on the line when cigarette smokers toss their butts into kindling Kym Howay Contributor

Look down—way down: What do you see when you visit businesses, shopping malls, parks, beaches or walking trails?

We are often greeted by cigarette butts littering our communities, our pristine forest trails and our sandy beaches.

We also see butt litter near grassy road sides or slowly trickling down to our water drains.

Cigarette butts are ranked as one of Canada’s leading sources of litter.

Cigarette filters are made of plastic so they can take up to 15 years to biodegrade.

That means there are cigarette filters hanging around today that may even be from the 1990s.

Filters contain 160 toxic chemicals, of which 60 can cause cancer.

And when they get wet, those toxins can leach into our natural environment.

Our hot, dry summers in combination with a forested landscape make us especially vulnerable to forest fires that destroy much of our pristine wilderness and put our communities at risk.

Provincewide, from Jan. 1 to mid-August or this year, there were 279 fires attributed to smoking materials with total losses at almost $2.8 million.

Are all fires caused by cigarette butts carelessly flung from a hand?

No, but many have been caused by discarded cigarettes.

The Barriere fire in 2003 is one example of fire caused by a cigarette—70 homes and 26,000 hectares of forest were destroyed.

It’s concerning that some people continue to

throw their still glowing cigarettes out of car windows or toss butts on the ground.

So how can we address this and change the way we think and dispose of cigarette butts in a responsible way?

If you are a smoker and you are not ready to quit then the next best thing you can do is be responsible with your butts.

There are safer ways to dispose of cigarette butts.

You might choose to keep a water-filled container in your car to help make sure the burning butt is out.

If you are out and about in the forest or on the street use a small tin container to collect your butts.

Those small metal mint tins work great. If you are hiking, pack the extinguished butts in and out with the rest of your

Advice on how to live your life HODGE FROM A18

When you walk look up and straight ahead, not at your feet.

Nice guys do not finish last. Boring guys do.

Find your passion and figure out how to get paid for it.

Learn personal responsibility. Bad things happen, it is your job to overcome them.

Do what you need to do because complaining will not speed it up or complete the job.

9 Never stop learning.

Don’t change yourself to make someone happy unless that someone is you.

If your are the smartest person in the room you are in the wrong room.

Buy a plunger before you need a plunger.

Never lend anything you cannot afford to lose.

And I will add another six: Smiling is contagious so see what kind of positive

energy you can spread every day.

Keep smiling every day because not only does it make you feel better but it confuses and annoys the hell out of folks who do not like you or wish to remain negative.

Lose graciously win humbly.

You ALWAYS have

a choice. In everything you do or experience you ultimately make a decision. The choice may not always be easy, but you always have one.

Forgive yourself, once you have filed the lesson learned.

Please take personal responsibility for your butts—help prevent forest fires and protect our communities, our environment, and our

These should be easy problems to fix. In an unusually hot, dry summer, it shouldn’t be difficult to explain the danger, persuade people to respect the fire ban, stop flicking lit cigarettes into dry grass, and certainly not to interfere with firefighting operations with drones.

For those people who aren’t convinced, there are penalties and fines in place, ranging from $115 for failure to report a fire, to up to $100,000 and/ or a year in jail for openly contravening an open fire prohibition.

You would think these would be enough.

CONCERT Don Williams Sunday, Sept. 20 Kelowna Community Theatre 1375 Water St. Country music legend Don Williams returns to the stage with his impressive new album Reflections, a follow-up to And So It Goes.

Williams is known for his laidback, straightforward vocals, commanding presence and selfassured ease.

Nicknamed “The Gentle Giant,” Williams serves up well-worn truths and wisdom about life, love and everything in between through his music.

An iconic voice in the country music scene, Williams began playing guitar as a young child and formed his first band, the PozoSeco Singers in 1964.

He has performed for more than 50 years, recording more than 20 albums and notched 17 number one country hits.

Williams was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2010.

Tickets available at Ticketmaster outlets, online at Ticketmaster.ca or call 1-800-985-5000.

CONCERT Lindi Ortega Saturday, Sept. 26 Prospera Place Kelowna Lindi Ortega is making a stop in Kelowna on her Canada-wide tour to promote her new album The Grand Tour, set for release Aug. 7.

For this new album, Ortega collaborated wit award winning producers Dave Cobb (Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Shooter Jennings), Colin Linden (T Bone Burnett) and the Muscle Shoals-based team of Ben Tanner (Alabama Shakes) and John Paul White (Civil Wars).

The goal was to create a record as broad and varied as Ortega’s influences, which run the gamut from 1970s country records to classic soul.

Although each of the three main album recording sessions were different in style and approach, each focused on live studio takes, capturing both the roughedged rawness of Ortega’s live performances and her smooth singing voice ART EXHIBIT Wally Dion: Mapping Me In… Until Sept. 20 Kelowna Art Gallery 1315 Water St. Visitors to a new show at the Kelowna Art Gallery by artist Wally Dion will no doubt be intrigued by the works hanging on the wall— these aren’t your typical paintings.

Colourful, repeated geometric forms are rendered in relief, and bridge the gap between sculpture and painting.

Wally Dion likes to work with small units that he fits together like puzzle pieces to create his final images.

He incorporates hand-made concentric wooden structures and makes use of “tracks” within the structures that he fills with layer upon layer of paint.

The results may remind visitors of the way the rings of a tree look when cut in a cross section.

The exhibition, entitled Mapping Me In… is guest curated by Felicia Gay and is one in the Kelowna Art Gallery’s One on One series.

This series is curated each year by an emerging Canadian First Nations curator who selects an emerging Canadian First Nations artist to work with. This year Saskatoonbased freelance curator Felicia Gay selected Wally Dion.

Dion holds a BFA from the University of Saskatchewan and an MFA from Rhode Island School of Design. He has exhibited extensively throughout Canada and has had numerous solo exhibitions. His work can be found in prominent collections, including the Canada Council Art Bank, MacKenzie Art Gallery (Regina), and the Mendel Art Gallery in Saskatoon.

CONCERT Tribute to Roy Orbison Friday, Oct. 2 7:30 p.m.

Kelowna Community Theatre 1375 Water St. Roy Orbison was unmistakable with his trademark sunglasses, his distinctive, powerful voice, his complex compositions and the dark emotional ballads we all love.

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

From 1960 to ’64, Orbison landed 22 songs on the Billboard Top 40, including “Only The Lonely,” “Crying,” and “Oh, Pretty Woman.”

His impassioned voice, bridging the gap between baritone and tenor, coupled with his signature arrangements ensured the charting of the hits “Dream Baby,” “Ooby Dooby,” “Blue Angel,” “Blue Bayou,” “You Got It” and “In Dreams.”

Mike Demers leads this group of musical journeymen in their mutual and deep appreciation of the timeless music of the ‘Caruso of Rock.’

Tickets on sale at the Prospera Place Box Office, 1223 Water St.; charge by phone at 250-762-5050; online at selectyourtickets.com CONCERT Ringo Starr (with his all-star band) Saturday, Oct.10 Okanagan Event Centre Penticton A former Beatle in the form of drummer Ringo Starr will be making a concert stop with his allstar band this fall in the Okanagan.

Starr and his music mates will play a string of dates across North American in October, with Canadians stops in Calgary, Edmonton and Penticton.

The tour coincides with the release of his new album, Postcards From Paradise, and his new photography book, Photograph.

As well, in April Starr will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as an individual artist, having already been voted in as a member of The Beatles.

Traveling with Starr on this tour as his supporting band will be Steve Lukather, Todd Rundgren, Gregg Rolie, Richard Page, Warren Ham and Gregg Bissonette.

CONCERT Musical tribute to Stevie Nicks, Rod Stewart and Mick Jagger Sunday, Oct. 18 Kelowna Community Theatre 1375 Water St. Singer Julie C. Myers brings the ‘First Lady of Rock,’ Fleetwood Mac lead singer Stevie Nicks to vivid life in this unique concert experience which will also feature tributes to ‘70s bad boys Mick Jagger (played

by Johnny Moroko) and Rod Stewart (Martin D. Andrew).

Uncannily emulating Nicks’ throaty vocal purr and ethereal moves, Myers delivers energetic and hypnotic versions of the Nicks signature tunes.

In partnership with

Gordon and Helen Thomas (centre above with their children) gathered with family on Wednesday to celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary with a special dinner at their former Kelowna residence on Ethel Street, which is now a bed and breakfast named Lindon House (left). In 1962, Gordon Thomas came knocking on the door of the house one Saturday morning, hearing that owner John Ritchie wanted to sell. The two agreed to a selling price on the front porch. The Thomas family lived at the home, raising their kids, up until the 1980s.

The dinner at the home brought back many fond memories for both Helen and Gordon along with their kids and other relatives attending the celebration.

With a Pan American Games gold medal, an NCAA title and a personal best time at the world championships, it was a breakthrough year in the pool for Kierra Smith.

If all goes as planned, 2016 will be even more prosperous and memorable for the 21year old swimmer from Kelowna.

Smith, who is now focused on earning a berth at next summer’s Olympic Games in Rio, returned home this week to a hero’s welcome at the Kelowna International Airport.

“I wasn’t expecting this at all, this is so nice, I love Kelowna and had so much support from the entire city as I was down in Toronto,” Smith said.

“It’s so heartwarming, I’m really happy right now.”

After winning gold in the 200-yard breaststroke for the University of Minnesota at the NCAA championships in March, Smith followed that up with a record-setting performance at the Pan American Games in Toronto, capturing the gold medal in 200-metre

breaststroke.

Competing and winning gold in her home country is an experience Smith said she’ll never forget.

“It was so unreal representing Canada, having the Pan Am Games in Toronto,” said Smith. “It was such a good experience. Just the crowd there and the energy, and I just tried to gather as much energy as I could from them as I was swimming, you could definitely hear them the entire time.

“The experience of getting the gold medal in Toronto is something I’ll remember, in 10 years when I look back at 2015.”

Three weeks after the Pan Am Games, Smith was in Kazan, Russia for the FINA World Championships where she took yet another big step forward in her career. Smith reached the A final and finished eighth overall in the 200 breaststroke in 2:23.61.

But the crowning moment for Smith came in qualifying as she set a personal best with a swim 2:22.82.

The result proved to both Smith and her local

Smith sets sights on Rio in 2016

Swimmer Kierra Smith displays her gold medal from the Pan American Games after arriving at the Kelowna International Airport on Wednesday morning. coach, Emil Dimitrov, that all the years of hard work and persistence were finally paying dividends.

“I just think I just gained a lot of confidence in that I can race the girls internationally and that I can belong at that level,” she said. “After I went

to 22 (2:22 in Russia) I went up in the stands with Emil, and when we sort of came down from the high, he was laughing because after my freshman year I went 2:32.

“Two years ago he said ‘You were crying,’ and

me saying ‘What do I do now?

“Now I’m just lucky that he’s stuck with me this whole time and believed that I could get to here from where I was before.”

So armed with confidence and a firm

training regime, Smith will focus on getting ready for the Olympic trials next April in Toronto.

To prepare, Smith will take the next year off from school at the University of Minnesota but will train for three months with her

Gophers’ teammates and coach Kelly Kremer.

Then in early 2016, she’ll return to Kelowna to train with Dimitrov, the head coach of the Liquid Lightning Swim Club, and make her final push towards locking down a berth next summer in Rio de Janeiro.

“I’d love to be on the podium and eventually get a medal for Canada at the Olympics,” Smith said. “I’m going to try for next year, but if not then the next one, I’m going to keep swimming.”

As for her journey to this point and looking back on her accomplishments in 2015, Smith couldn’t have asked for much more.

“It took me a long time to get there, but this summer just being able to touch the wall first, getting a gold for Canada and just feeling support from all over the country and especially from Kelowna,” Smith said.

“It just gave me a lot of motivation going into this next year and I just find that I can do more than I thought I could have when I started this sport.” @capnewsports.ca

The previous coaches, Nathan and Nikki, did an outstanding job in their four seasons as coaches, taking the program to a consistent national contender level which culminated in a national championship for the women’s team in 2013.

Prior to 2011, the cross country program on the Kelowna campus had only sent a handful or runners over the past decade to any competitions.

“Nathan and Nikki have a great passion for cross country and it showed as they built the program into a national

contender, ” said Rob Johnson, director of athletics and recreation on the Kelowna UBCO campus.

“I am very pleased to have Colin stepping into lead the program.

He shares that passion and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience that will be a great asset to our program.”

With a solid core of student athletes returning, Wallace believes there will be a lot of leadership and experience in the group to help guide the new members.

The first meeting for the potential team and the new coach will be Tuesday, Sept. 8 at 4 p.m. in the upstairs lobby of the UBC Okanagan gym.

The season will culminate for the team with the 2015 Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s (CCAA) Cross Country Running national championships at St. Lawrence College in Brockville, Ont. on Nov. 14.

Former Heat athlete Colin Wallace is the new head coach of the UBC Okanagan’s cross country running team.

Wallace takes over from Nathan and Nikki Reiter who spent the last four seasons building a reputable cross country program at the Kelowna campus.

“I am extremely excited for this opportunity,” said Wallace, who extolled the virtues of his predecessors, the husband and wife coaching team.

“The foundation of this team has been built over the years by some amazing coaches who devoted their time and energy to our incredible student athletes.

“My goal,” added the new coach, “is to keep the momentum going by inviting any distance runner in the UBCO community, from 800 metres up, looking for a competitive group to train with to come out for the team.”

Wallace competed as a student athlete under Nathan and Nikki with the Heat as recently as last season. He has also been a CIS student athlete where he starred in both cross country and track

Aggressive Outlander bucks the power trend

WHISTLER – The Mitsubishi Outlander is Inside The Outlander competes with the a bit of an anomaly in the compact utility Nissan Rogue and Kia Sorento for market. buyers wanting a seven-passenger, While most manufacturers sell three-row compact crossover. Unlike 4-cylinder or turbocharged 4-cylinder the 4-cylinder Nissan, the Outlander versions in great number, it’s the V6 only offers seating for seven passengers equipped Outlander that is the best in the V6 models, so the Sorento is the seller here in Canada, totally against closest competitor. Both share roughly the current trend. It might be that the It is good to the same dimensions too. The updates previous V6 version was more refined, to the back seats include a much easier quieter and had a conventional 6-speed see that Mitsubishi is moving back to to fold second row of seats and the automatic transmission, compared to third row is still best for small children the rather loud, lacklustre 4-cylinder a more aggressive and only for shorter trips. The other model. Well, for 2016 Mitsubishi wants looking utility changes are the new thicker steering to build on the success of the V6 vehicle. wheel with chrome trim around the model and try to sell more 4-cylinder centre and new switches. The display versions by paying attention to styling, Zack Spencer audio screen has been updated to refinement and drivability. provide redundant tabs and switches Looks around the outside; this treatment has also been used The last update for the Outlander was just two on navigation-equipped cars. Overall the cabin is well years ago and it is good to see that Mitsubishi is designed and roomy especially for the first two rows moving back to a more aggressive looking utility of seats. 4-cylinder models get a useful storage area vehicle. Not all small crossovers need to look under the rear cargo floor, the space used to store the aggressive but the previous model was so devoid third row seats in V6 equipped models. of personality, it blended into the background. The Drive updated 2016 model comes with a whole new front Another reason that Canadians opted for the V6 grille treatment, front pumper, even available LED models in the previous version was the much better headlamps and tail lamps. Mitsubishi might be driving experience, something that needed, and was, accused of borrowing from the recent Lexus front improved for 2016 4-cylinder trim levels. There is design; the bold chrome accents do look similar to new acoustic glass to remove road and wind noise, the Lexus Spindle grille. Along the lower part of the more insulation between the cabin and the engine doors is a metallic trim piece that helps break up the compartment and attention paid to the continuously body. The top GT trim is the one that gets standard variable transmission (CVT). Mitsubishi claims that 18-inch wheels but they can be ordered on lower the updates to the 4-cylinder transmission reduce trim levels as an option. Same for the power tailgate, friction and the wider range of available ratios helps it is reserved for the top V6 GT trim.

this vehicle make a run to 100km/h one second faster than the previous 4-cylinder. The 166hp 2.4L 4-cylinder engine has been carried over but the improvements made to this model have transformed this Outlander.

It has gone from a rough and ready vehicle to a refined, quiet and pleasurable place to spend time.

The 224hp 3.0L V6 is still the one to get if you want to tow up to 3500lbs. and the inclusion of a conventional 6-speed automatic makes driving a more predictable experience but this version felt heavier and didn’t handle nearly as well as the 4-cylinder.

Verdict The 2016 Outlander starts $25,998 for a FWD 4-cylinder model. The base 4-cylinder AWD starts at $27,998. All V6 equipped Outlanders come standard with AWD and 7-passenger seating and the starting price is $31,198. The most expensive GT trim tops out at $38,498. Mitsubishi is introducing a new trim for the 2016 model year that includes a lot of the higher end features found in the V6 but offer it in a 4-cylinder model. It is the ES Touring with a power sunroof, 18-inch wheels, display audio, satellite radio and few other goodies and it starts just under $30,000.

Mitsubishi hopes this model, along with the other improvements to the vehicles refinement will win new buyers over. The Outlander competes with a vast field of small utility vehicle but the 7-pasenger V6 offer is what sets it apart; that and the impressive 10-year warranty.

“With our strongest muscle-car arsenal ever, we knew it was time to reach into our Dodge paint code archive and offer our high-performance R/T Scat Pack and SRT Hellcat models in one of the most iconic exterior colours of all time,” said Tim Kuniskis, president and chief executive officer for Dodge Brand and SRT Brand, FCA in North America.

Earmarked for the eye-catching paint job are the 707-horsepower SRT Hellcat models and 485-horsepower naturally aspirated R/T Scat Pack models.

Since 1970, Plum Crazy has been one of the most desired paint colours for the Dodge Challenger and Charger. Today, the enthusiast demand for this heritage hue is stronger than ever—as the signature paint colour is directly associated with high collectability and the famed “Mopar-or-no-car”

At this year’s Monterey Car Week, BMW previewed a high-performance model for road and racetrack: The BMW Concept M4 GTS, the first M3/M4 special production vehicle to offered for sale in the US. The Concept M4 GTS showcases new technologies which will debut in production vehicles later this year.

The Concept features the same water injection system that has endowed the BMW M4 MotoGP Safety Car with a noticeable increase in output and torque.

This system uses the physical effect of water when vaporizing to draw the required energy from the

ambient medium. The water is injected into the plenums of the intake manifold as a fine spray.

When water vaporizes and goes through its phase transition it absorbs heat, cooling the air intake significantly. As a result, the final compression temperature in the combustion chamber—and therefore the engine’s tendency to ‘knock’—is reduced, enabling the turbocharger to use higher boost pressure and earlier injection timing.

The BMW Concept M4 GTS is fitted with OLED rear lights which can actuate individual light modules which emit light to a single point to provide flexibility and allow for precision.

K900 pushes Kia past perceived limits

Kia K900 V8 Elite 2015 at $69,995, is the top trim level of Kia’s newest luxury car, striking a sophisticated pose with proportions and lines comparable to any premium sedan.

Rob Beintema

Move over Mercedes. Look alive Lexus, BMW and Audi.

Because here comes Kia. For the 2015 model year, the all-new K900 is a fullfledged luxury sedan that has taken over the top spot in the Kia lineup, boasting sophisticated style, smooth handling, rear-wheel-drive, roomy executive-style accommodation and all the upscale bells and whistles you could want, along with Kia’s trademark standard of inclusive content and technologies.

Turning the “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” philosophy around, Kia managed to get someone from the competition to join them instead—Peter Schreyer, a designer who contributed to significant premier German benchmarks like the Audi TT. Schreyer established a new familial face and look for

Kia, the “tiger nose” that has garnered a more iconic and recognizable identity for the brand.

And that new look soon started to spread throughout the lineup, through revised designs that, in South Korea, are identified simply as different numbered “K” models like, for example, the K5 (Optima), K7 (Cadenza) and, finally, the K9 (or Quoris).

by Equus and Genesis. The rear-wheel-drive layout sets the tone for classic luxury car proportions, allowing the engine to be pushed back behind the front wheels for a longer hood and a set-back greenhouse, a short front overhang, high shoulder line, strong solid flanks and a longer rear overhang.

While it isn’t a blatant copy of any other luxury car, you do get the feeling that a few styling cues were adopted from deconstructed competitive benchmarks— the BMW-style instrument controller and shifter, the Mercedes-like graphic seat adjustment buttons on the doors and a side profile, vaguely reminiscent of Jaguar or 7 Series.

It all works well together, inside and out, with the only clanging miscue being a fake fender vent that looks like an applique accessory from the fuzzy dice aisle at Canadian Tire. But that will probably be one of the first revisions over the next few years.

The 2015 Kia K900 comes in two flavours.

The K900 V6 ($49,995) starts with a 3.8-litre GDI V6 (regular octane) that makes 311 hp and 293 lb/ft of torque putting power to the road through an eightspeed automatic transmission. It sets the standard with a list of included content too long to describe here, but including 18-inch alloy wheels, stability technologies, Advanced Drive Mode with Sport/ Normal/ECO/Snow settings, heated/ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, power everything, leather everywhere, the same kind of 17-speaker Lexicon audio system that Rolls Royce uses, a multimedia

infotainment interface with navigation, and on and on.

There’s also an intermediate V6 Premium ($60,995) trim level that adds icing to the cake with a smart cruise control, lane departure warning, blind-spot detection, rear cross-traffic detection, a heads-up display (HUD), heated leather/wood steering wheel, power front headrests, panoramic sunroof, premium “Nappa” leather and real wood trim.

The K900 V8 Elite ($69,995), however, is the real step up here, and it tops out the lineup with a 5.0-litre GDI V8 (premium octane) that makes old school muscle to the tune of 420 hp and 376 lb/ft of torque, translated through a more sophisticated eight-speed automatic. As tested, it pulls the K900’s two tons of fun (2,106 kg) up to speed with aplomb, the motor ticking over around town at 1,000 rpm or so and barely breaking a sweat below 2,000 revs on the highway. Fuel economy, not that it counts at this price level, is officially ranked at 15.7/10.3L/100km (city/hwy) with my real world results averaging 14L/100km (comb).

Some reviewers have criticized the K900’s plush ride but I find all this hard-edged emphasis on sport suspension somewhat overdone lately, and this smooth cruiser provides exactly the kind of blended comfort and control that I would hope for in a vehicle of its class.

The V8 Elite trim also adds final extras that include 19-inch chrome wheels, full LED adaptive headlights, ventilated power reclining rear seats with aviation style headrests and lumbar adjustment,

The pedigree of the design-

ers, the passage of time and prejudices, along with continued efforts and refinement can only enhance the identity and growing prestige of the Kia brand.

news _____________________________________________________________________

The province has now declared the Okanagan to be at Level 4 drought, joining Vancouver Island and southwestern B.C. which have been at Level 4 most of the summer.

It’s time to look at how long term, droughtstricken areas like Australia cope with conditions that are appearing in B.C. with increased frequency and severity: • Requirement for all new homes to capture all precipitation from their roof into a cistern to use for all outdoor irrigation

Gardening With Nature GWEN STEELE on the property.

• Bylaw change to encourage collection and reuse of grey water from showers and laundry for garden irrigation.

As mentioned last week, Kelowna has introduced watering restrictions after many years without any.

Details can be found at

numbered addresses water on Sundays and Wednesdays.

Hand watering of landscape plant materials and vegetable plantings, excluding lawns, is also permitted, with a watering can or a control nozzle on a hose. Using an open pipe or hose for irrigating purposes is not allowed.

For details of times of night/morning irrigating for automatic and manual sprinkling systems check www.westkelownacity.ca/ water.

Lake Country Stage 2

www.kelowna.ca/ CM/page2506. aspx.

Last week, Lake Country and West Kelowna both upped their watering restrictions to Stage 2. The details are slightly different.

In West Kelowna, watering is reduced to two days a week while outdoor watering is prohibited between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. only for even numbered addresses water on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and odd

restrictions are stiffer and have a penalty.

Customers who consistently ignore restrictions will be subject to water service turn off and/or fines.

Watering with a watering can or hand watering with a triggered hose is allowed anytime.

The nozzle must be actively hand held by an individual.

Manual sprinklers can be run from 7 p.m. to midnight and 6 to 10 a.m., two hours less a day than the rest of the Central Okanagan.

Coping with drought watering restrictions

Automatic systems can only be run between midnight and 6 a.m.

There is an added reminder to turn off your system during rainy periods. ‘Don’t set it and forget it’.

Watering is restricted to two days per week.

Days are determined by the last digit of the house address.

Go to www. okanaganway.ca/ municipal/municipalservices/water/waterrestrictions/ for more details.

Properly operated micro or drip irrigation is allowed anytime.

This is certainly an encouragement to use drip. It only waters the plant not the empty surrounding soil, conserving water and

reducing weed growth.

There is no spray into the air with drip so it’s not vulnerable to wind and evaporation.

The Okanagan Basin Water Board also offers water saving tips at www. makewaterwork.ca/.

To find out about water-wise gardening and find suitable plants for dry conditions, I invite you to attend my two ‘Introduction to Xeriscape’ night classes on Wednesday, Sept. 16 and 23, or Thursday, Oct. 1 and 8.

In 1951 he wed Joyce Williams and they went on to have three children living in a house Bud built in Saskatoon.

In 1971 the family moved to Kelowna, He continued as an electrician until retirement, having worked on several projects including the LRT in Vancouver. he was a proud local 213 member all his life.

As a young boy he sang in choir and as an adult performed in many musical productions both in Saskatoon and Kelowna. He loved gardening and always took pride in his tomatoes. He so enjoyed family gatherings ,told many stories for grandchildren to remember. Bud loved his siblings, sending flowers to his many sisters. He was especially close with his sister Doris who we all miss dearly.

Dad loved his 68 Chevy, you always knew he was arriving when you heard that horn. He was generous to his family and taught us many things to carry with us.

Bud left behind his two sons, Rick, Glenn(Wendy), daughter Debbie (David) and 6 grandchildren Tim, Sarah, Devin, Garret, Nathaniel and Morgan.

We will miss him dearly and wish him peace at last.

ALBRIGHT, DOROTHY EVELYN (EVY) Passed away Sunday, August 16, 2015 at Hospice House at age 91. Survived by her loving husband Leonard, 2 daughters Sylvia Albright, Patricia Albright, 2 grandchildren Crystal Poirier (Roger) and Sybrena Albright (Ima), 2 great grandchildren Katelyn and Kevin.

SEXSMITH - LARRY W. With broken hearts the family of Larry W. Sexsmith advise of his passing on August 13, 2015, suddenly and unexpectedly of a heart attack at the age of 65.

Larry was born in Vegreville, AB. June 22, 1950 and grew up (or so he claimed) in Australia and Calgary.

A well respected business man in Kelowna for 35 years, Larry made his mark in the Insulation and Restaurant industries. Larry’s vision was the driving force behind the success of Rose’s and he was instrumental in elevating it to the iconic landmark it is today.

Larry is survived by his sons Paul (Isaac), Adam (Fiona, Jacob, Ella, Elijah), Mike (Austin, Josh); sisters Pat (Marv), Linda (Bill; Ryan, Kira, Tyler, Chloe; Erin, Donovan, Stephen), Barb (Brianne, Kevin, Ruby, Christian) and Sandy; and friend Tammy Clarke (Cassie, Skylar, Peyton and Alex).

Larry had many great friends and a large “extended family”.

He was a man of his word; loyal and always ready to lend a helping hand, as he did for so many of us, many times.

Larry lived life on his terms. He was “larger than life”!

Larry Wayne will be greatly missed.

Remember forever….forget you never.

In lieu of flowers Larry would have loved donations be made in his honour to the Daniel Olesen Memorial Fund set up in memory of his nephew via the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation; www.childrenshospital.ab.ca.

LASHUK, LORENE EVELYN

(December 20,1924 - July 23, 2015) It is with great sadness and with her family at her side, we announce the passing of the matriarch of our family, Lorene Lashuk at the age of 90. She was predeceased by her loving husband Mel of 59 years, as well as her parents and siblings. She will be sadly missed by her son, Greg (Miranda); daughter, Sandy (Ted); grandchildren, Jen (Mike), Regan (Chris), Tamara (Ryan); great grandchildren, Kennedy, Marco & Francesco. Lorene was born in Alliance, Alberta in 1924. At the age of 19, Lorene enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force Women’s Division. In September 1954 she met her husband, Mel; they married in February of 1955 in Calgary, Alberta. In their many years together they lived and visited much of the world together by traveling during their service work and their traveling summer vacations with their children. In 1963 they settled in Winnipeg with their two children. Lorene worked for the Winnipeg School Division as a secretary, then later for Misericordia Hospital as a Administrative Assistant in the Social Work Dept. Lorene retired in 1986, shortly thereafter moved to Kelowna with her husband and enjoyed many years of retirement together.

Due to her failing health, Lorene returned to Winnipeg in May of 2015 to be with her family. We would like to express our deep gratitude to Sam & Bev Lashuk, Eva & Jim Hayashi & neighbour, Jean for all their love support and kindness to mom. Cremation has taken place and service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, August 25 2015 St. Michael’s Cathedral, 608 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna. We love you Momsy, Momma, Grandma, Super Grams, and great grandma xoxo. Arrangements in care of Everden Rust Funeral Services, (250) 860-6440.

WOMEN

WATCH

Presented by:

Sawyer Klassen

sawyer.klassen@ kelownacapnews.com

For the past11 years, Pamela Thompson has been running two companies.

She founded Global Village Consulting in 2004 after 12 years in the industry, and in 2008 added a second business to her repertoire as she became a certified life and business coach and founded Creative Life Coaching.

The majority of Thompson’s career has been as a consultant, which has taken her across North America and around the world. As a consultant, she has lived and worked in Columbia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Poland, Russia, Lithuania and Afghanistan.

Traveling abroad and working internationally is something she has always wanted to do, and Thompson noted that’s part of what drew her to consulting.

“I’ve always been curious about people and cultures around the world, and I love to travel,” she explained. “When I was an academic, I taught at UBC Vancouver from 1981 to 1985 and then at Saint Francis Xavier University.

During that time, my research was primarily with immigrant women including looking at the different experiences of women from five different countries adjusting to life in Canada.”

Thompson’s most recent consultation role saw her living in Kabul, Afghanistan, from October 2010 to November 2011 where she worked with that country’s Ministry of Public Health to develop their first strategic plan and develop the capacity of internal teams to do strategic and operational planning.

A partnership between: CAPITAL news

Profiling women of influence in the Central Okanagan business community.

Crowe MacKay’s Women to Watch program is a weekly feature that profiles remarkable women in our community, concluding October 16th.

After terrific response, the nomination period for 2015 is now closed. Watch this space each week to see our remaining Women to Watch.

Afghanistan was a life changing experience for her, as she described it was difficult to stay calm amidst the chaos in the country, particularly on one day when she was part of a team giving a workshop in Kabul.

“All of a sudden this woman just stood up and she was ranting, and she said, ‘They’re attacking the Ministry of Public Health!’” Thompson recalled.

“I’d heard through my cell from my head of security, ‘Don’t move, there’s sniper fire, we’re under fire at the ministry, don’t move, stay where you are.’

“This woman was really upsetting, there were 90-plus people in the room. I just stood and I said, ‘I’m really scared. I understand your fearful.

I’m Canadian, this doesn’t happen to us. That said, do you hear anything?

Listen.’ You couldn’t hear a pin drop, because we were on the other side of the city. I said, ‘We’re safe here. If you wish to leave, you may.’ And nobody left, they all stayed to finish the workshop.

The only female on my team was about to go up next for the last part of the workshop, and I could tell that she was worrying about her family. I asked her if she wanted me to do it, and she said no.

She did a great job, but I could tell at the end that she had a tear going down her cheek.

“We debriefed afterwards and she said, ‘Pam, I’m so happy that I was able to be part of being a strong woman and hold the room, and be a model of that for people in my country.’

“Moments like that are really special, because you can see someone step up to the plate and be strong. If you can help in doing that, it’s really fulfilling.”

After Afghanistan, Thompson worked as a senior health advisor on seven projects to reduce infant mortality in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana, Mali, Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Bolivia.

She explained it was very rewarding and fulfilling to go to those countries, help with their projects and see the benefits.

Thompson has always loved people and working with them, encouraging them and supporting them, which led her to coaching. As a life and business coach, Thompson works with driven women who crave more balance and fun in their lives and who want to work smart and stay healthy.

Thompson’s international experience, desire to help others improve themselves and willingness to take on new challenges are what make her a Woman to Watch. national experience, deThrough her personsire to help others imal journey as a consultprove themselves and ant and discoveries as willingness to take on a coach, Thompson became inspired to write the new challenges are what make her a Woman to book ‘Learning to Dance Watch. with Life’, which launches on Aug. 26.

Azure water, white sand, a hungry turtle on St. Barts Alan Behr contributor

Waves jostled the high-speed ferry as it bolted from the harbour at Philipsburg, on Saint Martin, aiming with churning indignation for Saint-Barthelemy.

On our three or four prior visits (my wife and I debate the number), we had taken the famously entertaining/unnerving 10-minute flight over.

Riding in an airplane about the size of a banquet table, you make the landing approach by skimming a few feet over a hilltop traffic circle, then diving down the hillside to an undulating runway.

If all goes according to the flight plan, you come to a halt before tipping into St. Jean Bay. The catamaran ferry was much cheaper and, so we thought, would be gentler on our 6-yearold, Ryan. As the rugged little island—with the familiar contradiction of

brown-green, jagged hills and stately white villas— appeared into view, Ryan got seasick. My wife and I had to help him through it because another passenger, a muscular man the size of two Volkswagens strapped together, had also fallen ill, requiring the full attention of the cabin crew—as his girlfriend slept like a curled-up kitten.

Exclusivity is bred by inaccessibility, and the very difficulty in getting to St. Barts (in French, St-Barth) makes it a destination for the sort of people who want quiet, sophisticated relaxation— the occasional yachtborne bacchanalia notwithstanding. The bulging, mass-market cruise ships moored in Philipsburg are too large to dock in St. Barts. There are no big hotels, and those on the island offer only 500 or so rooms and suites in total. Add to that about 450 villas

for rent and the fact that none of it comes cheap, and you have a luxury travel fantasy— an implausibly refined Caribbean island.

Our hotel, Le Guanahani, sat along Grand Cul de Sac, in one of the many bays that crenellate the eightsquare-mile island. Those bays shelter perfect white-sand beaches, snorkelers, kite-surfers and any pleasure craft that its owners think looks shipshape enough to fit in. Our bay-view suite was practically a small villa, complete with lush tropical landscaping, a large pool in back, a parking place in front and a land turtle that paid regular visits and kept trying to bite my big toe.

As with other hotels, ours was staffed by pretty young women from France, in for a couple years to practice their English, get some sun and make the place look even better. They brought

Only small planes can land at St. Barts.

Ryan his pizza poolside on our deck and walked barefoot onto beach sand, bringing drinks to guests lounging in chairs rooted before the bay. Server or served, a sense of uniform equality prevailed. The secret of St. Barts is that you do not feel that postcolonial tension of other places in the Caribbean— those formed by the evil of slavery and where the local population still serves (sometimes resentfully) interlopers from afar.

Indeed, although it is often said that St. Barts is like provincial France in the Caribbean, in truth, it is like Paris in the Caribbean. St. Barts is Paris without the traffic and the distain for spoken English but with palms,

azure water, white-sand beaches and a flip-flop culture that somehow looks chic.

Traveling to St. Barts as a family requires preparation. There are no all-inclusive options.

It is an a la carte island because the goal is to try the different beaches and many fine restaurants.

Because so many repeat visitors know each other, the island is a veritable moveable feast, with friends and acquaintances congregating at, or simply bumping into each other at, restaurants and on boats and hotels in the harbor.

When you have a firstgrader, however, you need kid-friendly things to do, which is why we

travel ____________________________________________________________________ ST. BARTS FROM A14 chose Le Guanahani, which, with only 67 rooms and suites, is the largest hotel on the island. Alassai, the manager of the Kid’s Club, showed Ryan the facilities and in turn introduced him to the eight other youngsters staying at the hotel during our visit in the comparatively underpopulated summer offseason. Ryan is studying French, the French kids were learning English; they all played bilingual games and, this being France, they had a cooking lesson. The hotel has a spa and functions as a full campus-based resort, but once we were acclimated, it was time to hit the road—and to hit the beach.

Hertz delivered to our hotel one of the small four-wheel-drive vehicles that are staples on the island, and Daddy took the family up and down the narrow, twisting roads, swerving beside crevices, the rear-view mirrors on cars in the opposite lane ever threatening a petulant swipe. Throughout, motorbikes rolled and

banked in suicidal waves, passing all, daunted by none. I drove slowly, with the precision of an alcoholic Formula One driver.

On our prior visits, all made before we were parents, the beaches were the very definition of casual. Any woman wearing a bathing suit top betrayed a poor fashion sense; among those who had the physique to pull it off, nudity was widely practiced on two strands, including our favorite, Saline Beach.

Back then, my wife and I stopped packing bathing suits for a visit to Saline or its companion clothing-optional retreat, Gouveneur Beach.

That was then— before everyone had a concealable camera that could send pictures around the world in less time than it takes Ryan to say (as is his wont), “I can see your butt.” We arrived at Saline this time to find a francophone picnic in progress at tables under a shady copse lying just before the sand. A couple dozen people in G-rated attire—including small children—splashed and played water sports in the strong current.

Even I don’t swim topless anymore. As on every prior visit, a strong wind ripped open the stays of the beach umbrella supplied by the hotel, so to protect from us from the tropical sun, Ryan and I wore rashguards (swim shirts) with an SPF of 50. We drove to the hotel just in time for our turtlein-residence to appear, scavenging for castaway gourmet food.

Then it was time for Ryan to work on his summer writing project for school, and here is the result: Daddy’s Driving Skills

By Ryan N. Behr We went to St-Barth.

A turtle came and I named him Yertle. He was the coolest. My daddy started the car. I said, “Run, Yertle, run!”

I hasten to report that no turtles were injured in the making of this story.

The family settled into the St. Barts routine. Each morning, we breakfasted at the poolside, open-air Indigo restaurant, and Ryan would jump in with his kickboard before he had finished his pancakes and croissant. Between Kid’s Club visits we would try

Sunwest Tours

the beaches, a favorite being Shell Beach, just above the orderly little capital of Gustavia. True to its name, it is a seashell collector’s open-air boutique. Sailing yachts drifted into the bay, and the restaurant and diurnal hangout Do Brazil served people on chaises longues parked on the beach just below its shaded terrace.

The master class in St. Barts beachgoing is a visit to Colombier, which requires a 25-minute hike down a treacherous, cactus-lined path, nearly all of it narrow and covered with rough sand and jagged rock. I was nursing a puncture wound after a fall onto a sharp stone when a group from Puerto Rico came up the path; one of their number, Luis, had his arm in a bandage improvised from a shirt and was on his way to the hospital for stitches. A large blue cooler, containing wine and Champagne for a beach party that would not be, lay on the path 30

yards below, and beyond that, the ice dumped from it lay with cold irony on hot sand. By good luck or good fortune, Ryan and my wife made it down and back safely in their flip-flops and, while on the beach, enjoyed some of the island’s best snorkeling and marine-life viewing.

At dinner that evening, in L’Isola, one of the most fashionable of the island’s depots of gourmet cuisine and model-on-the-armof-banker partying, a man from Tyler, Texas, asked how he should get his beautiful wife and teenage daughters to Colombier. My wife and I called out nearly in unison, “Hire a boat, dude!”

We dined twice at Bartolomeo, the gourmet restaurant at Le Guanahani, which offered novelties such as a citrusaccented appetizer formed around a tartar of local fish. One of our favourite meals was at the Sand Bar, the beachfront

restaurant run by JeanGeorges Vongerichten at the Eden Rock, which, built like a fortress atop a rocky outcrop in St. Jean Bay, was the first hotel on the island. My entree was penne with ham and black truffles. We had stayed there once, and to continue down memory lane, we had a leisurely, rum-fuelled lunch at Le Sereno Restaurant. Next along the beach from our own hotel, Le Sereno was the first place we had ever stayed on the island—back when the hotel was only a modest premonition of the deluxe resort, decorated in minimalist chic, that it has now become.

Our favourite dining moment, however, was at Maya’s, the open-walled, beachfront restaurant that, like so many others, we return to on each visit. Let Ryan tell you the story: Maya’s Restaurant

By Ryan N. Behr I went to Maya’s in StBarth. I got sleepy. I fell

asleep in the restaurant.

The waitress made me a bed of chairs. I felt happy.

When we were done, I carried Ryan out, shaking Chef Maya’s hand while cradling his head in the crook of my right elbow.

On our final morning, as dawn broke over the bay and Ryan slept, my wife and I returned to our St. Barts roots by skinny dipping, this time in private in our suite’s pool. Neptune, the god of the seas, commanded smooth sailing for our boat heading back to St. Martin. St. Barts receded behind us, melding with the sea that nurtured it. St. Barts had done its good work, adding to the joyful memories of three (or was it four?) visits before.

Getting There: Fly to Princess Juliana International Airport on Saint Martin and then take a gasp-inducing puddle jumper or wavetossed ferry. www.st-barths.com
