* the following information is from the volunteer.ca website* FYI...Volunteer Canada works with over 200 volunteer centres nationwide (Volunteer Canada).

The power of volunteers • 13.3 million Canadians contribute 2.1 billion hours, the equivalent of 1.1 million full-time jobs (Canada Survey on Giving, Volunteering and Participating, 2010).

• 47% of Canadians volunteer (Canada Survey on Giving, Volunteering and Participating, 2010).

• Volunteers typically contribute 156 hours per year (Canada Survey on Giving, Volunteering and Participating, 2010).

• Young Canadians, aged 15-24, volunteer more than any other age group at a rate of 58 per cent versus the overall rate of 47 per cent (Canada Survey on Giving, Volunteering and Participating, 2010).

Today’s volunteer

• Canadian volunteers are more goal-oriented, autonomous, tech-savvy and mobile.

• Volunteering changes throughout the lifecycle, along with evolving priorities, circumstances and interests.

• Volunteers are looking for volunteer tasks that involve something different from their work life.

• Most volunteers are looking for short-term volunteer opportunities.

• Volunteering is personal and stems from individual preferences and motivations.

• More new Canadians are seeking volunteer opportunities.

Volunteering Keeps People Healthy and Productive 5 Great Reasons to Give Back 1. Develop new skills. Gaining skills, knowledge and expertise are common side effects of volunteering. Giving others your time brings you fascinating and challenging opportunities that might not come along otherwise.

2. Create new social connections. Loneliness and boredom are common among retirees, students, and people who have relocated to a new city. Volunteering can relieve this sense of social isolation.

3. Gain a fresh outlook. Life can be hard and when you’re feeling down, your problems can seem overwhelming. Volunteering can offer a new perspective—seeing people who are worse off than you are, yet still hanging in there, can help you see your life in a whole new light.

4. Know that you’re needed. Feeling needed and appreciated are important, and you may not get that appreciation from your paid work or home life where the things you do are expected or taken for granted. When you volunteer, you realize just how much you are truly needed.

5. Boost your self-esteem. Many volunteers experience a sense of increased self-esteem and greater self-worth. Research has shown that the good feelings you experience when helping others may be just as important to your health as exercise and a healthy diet.

“Get Involved Central Okanagan Style”.

get Involved

This resource booklet, provides the community with helpful information about agencies who need volunteers. We invite you to discover the wide variety of opportunities available and see how you can make a positive impact in the community by donating their time, talent and energy.

The Best Way to Feel Good...

Is To Do Good For Others!

This annual event - now in its 18th year - draws 75+ local non-profit organizations who need volunteers to support the programs and services that make our community a better place to live. They are looking forward to meeting and talking with volunteers face-to-face and providing all the information they need to find their volunteering ‘home’. For volunteers, this event represents a one-of-a-kind opportunity to learn about each organization, and how their personal involvement can make a difference in our community. One stop, with all the answers they need to make their choice (Or choices!) on where they will give their time. At the Fair, we all come together to help make kelowna a great place to live!

VOTING DAY OCT. 19

Kick-off to Capital News election coverage

Barry Gerding

and other outdoor recreation leisure pursuits.

Even some local candidates acknowledged getting people excited about the election during the summer was a tough sell.

But the unofficial end of summer is Labour Day, so the kids are back in school, parents are back to work while the election campaign continues to grind forward to voting day.

But who should you vote for in the two local riding contests—KelownaLake Country and the new riding of Central Okanagan-SimilkameenNicola—and why.

bgerding@kelowncapnews.com

Did you realize we are now six weeks into the federal election campaign?

When Prime Minister Stephen Harper opted in August to call the election for Monday, Oct. 19, the election campaign was officially underway.

But being the middle of the summer, particularly in the Okanagan, the attention span for politics among voters was seriously challenged.

Most of us are concerned about vacation plans, boating, camping

In the Friday editions of the Kelowna Capital News over the next six weeks, our editorial staff will address a number of issues of potential interest to local voters, and the insights from the various candidates and others as the campaign winds down to voting day.

We hope to enlighten everyone about why the candidates are seeking your support, what issues matter to our local area and why you should all exercise your democratic right to vote come Oct. 19.

Today, we kick off our election coverage by introducing you to the candidates in both ridings, how

Kelowna is divided up by the new constituency alignment, the past local voting history and what some political pundits see of the voting trend for this election.

As well, watch for our election coverage on our Capital News website, kelownacapnews.com, which will include stories both on a local and national level.

And please share your thoughts with us on Facebook and Twitter.

If you have any questions or issues you would like to see given coverage, email them to us at edit@ kelownacapnews.com or drop us a comment to the Capital News

office at 2495 Enterprise Way or on Facebook.

While our cynicism towards politics often is reflected in voter apathy, elections do matter, and this time is no different with the NDP, Liberals and Conservatives all polling within 10 points of each other as the numbers shift week to week.

So, encourage yourself to mark a ballot on Oct. 19, and we’ll do our part at the Capital News in the weeks ahead to help you make a thoughtful decision about which candidates appeal to you and deserve your support.

Education background: Bachelor of Arts, University of Saskatchewan, 1999; Law Degree, University of Calgary, 2012 Past political experience: None. I have never been a member of a political party before and certainly did not consider a career in politics until I decided to throw my name in this past year. However, as a Grade 12 student I convinced a teacher to have polling stations set up in our school so that the students could vote on the Charlottetown Accord. As high school students, we were not eligible to officially vote, but I asked the teacher to vote the same as the majority vote of the student body and he obliged.

Community

an effective MP: I will represent my constituents – a Green MP will not be whipped like the other MPs; use evidencebased decision-making, not fire the scientists and tacticians that collect the evidence; secure our economy, food production, water quality, social safety nets; enhance our Armed Forces.

The federal candidates are at the halfway mark of the longest election campaign in recent Canadian history, but a keen observer of the spectacle says it’s too early to make any predictions on winners and losers, because the electorate is just starting to tune in.

“It’s like the NHL pre-season…hockey fans know hockey is happening, but they haven’t been watching,” said Hamish Telford, an author and political science instructor at the University of the Fraser Valley.

Campaign messages have also been lost, he said, as politicians have had to react to a deluge of news stories with wide ranging impact.

For the party in power, the weight of headline news appears to be pushing them down the polls, said Telford, noting the Conservative Party is currently pegged at third behind the NDP and the Liberals, according to the poll aggregator site ThreeHundredEight.com.

In numbers it released this week, the NDP was in the lead with 32.1 per cent support, the LPC was close behind with 31.4 per cent, the CPC had 27.4 per cent and the GPC had 5 per cent. The BQ was at 3.5 per cent.

“The Conservatives were more seriously derailed by the (Mike) Duffy trial than they anticipated,” Telford said, of the trial that centres around senator spending.

The damage, he said, came from the tightlipped approach the party takes to media.

Instead of holding a press conference and dealing with all questions regarding the Duffy

Observing our political landscape Hamish Telford is a keen observer of Canadian politics.

His research focuses on the politics of federalism, nationalism and secession.

He is especially interested in Canadian federalism and the politics of Quebec and he is presently finishing a manuscript tentatively entitled The Canadian State Hamish Telford and Majoritarian Federalism versus Quebec’s Theory of Difference Federalism.

Telford is keenly interested in political history, most especially the origins of federalism and Anglo-American constitutional thought.

In this vein, he is working on a SSHRC funded project examining the interpretation of the Canadian constitution by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in the 1880s and 1890s. trial in one swoop, the Conservatives opted to take four to five questions a day, ensuring the trial was kept in the news loop day after day—it didn’t reflect well on the governing party.

“Their own management style hurt them,” said Telford.

“The prime minister didn’t look trustworthy… frequently I think the Conservatives are their own worst enemy.”

Also hurting the party are questions about why Canada hasn’t done more to help with the Syrian refugee crisis.

The picture of Alan Kurdi, a Syrian boy whose body washed up on a Turkish beach, has heightened attention to Canada’s own contribution to accepting refugees from that wartorn area.

“Very rarely do Canadian elections turn on foreign policy issues… however, there are two things that might be different this time,” said Telford.

“The Syrian refugee story is not a one-time story and won’t end before the election.

The second reason it

may not augur well for the Conservatives is that it ruffles deeply held perceptions.

“Canadians have an image of Canada as a do-gooding country, but the reality of that is we haven’t been that country for a long time,” he said.

“This may wake us up.

Canada’s role in world affairs has changed away from the old peacekeeping days.”

Then there was the news of the recession.

The Tories say there has been employment growth and an export rebound and have pointed out that they aren’t responsible for a collapse in oil prices.

The NDP and Liberals have beaten their drums about weak economic growth and point to the jump in the jobless rate to an elevated seven per cent despite employment gains.

“We were in a big recession, then we were out and now we’ve gone back into it,” said Telford.

“Then the prime minster says, ‘Hold the course.’ Hold the course?

It’s downward.”

As the Conservatives struggled, Telford says the Liberals have made up

ground.

“They have been running a good campaign,” said Telford, adding that he thinks the party leader seems to be overcoming the “he’s not ready” label the Conservatives affixed to him in their advertising campaign.

Mulcair, who is in the lead, has also run a solid campaign, said Telford.

That said, it’s unlikely that the efforts at the top end of the party structure will have much impact on what happens in the Okanagan, or other conservative strongholds.

“There is no safer place for Conservatives than the Okanagan or the Fraser Valley, but (last) Wednesday night, Stephen Harper came here,” said Telford.

“It’s curious that he would come to one of the most conservative ridings in the country… the (Abbotsford’s Conservative MP) will get elected here no matter what happens in the national election.

“But Harper coming here means they are campaigning defensively, trying to hold on to what they’ve got.”

Conservative voters are also pretty party-faithful, always offering up 30 per cent.

Another 10 per cent tend to migrate to other parties, but Telford doesn’t know whether it will be to the NDP or the Liberals.

And there’s always a question of how the Green Party will impact B.C. ridings.

“A month in, the attention has been split between NDP and Liberals and the two parties are inching closer to each other.”

There’s no telling what will happen in the last half of the campaign, he said. @kelownanewsKAT

As for the impact the changes will have on voting patterns, that remains to be seen.

In the 2011 federal election, incumbent Conservative Ron Cannan took 58 per cent of the vote, while his NDP challenger Tricia Kalmanovitch took 21 per cent, Liberal Kris Stewart 11 per cent and Green Alice Hooper eight per cent.

after former Kelowna mayor Walter Gray made an impassioned plea to the federal redistribution commission when it held a hearing in the city in 2013.

At that time, the commission was proposing to include downtown Kelowna and part of Glenmore in the new riding, a move Gray said would tear the “heart” of his city out of a federal riding that included the rest of Kelowna. He suggested keeping downtown in the Kelowna-Lake Country and making Harvey Avenue the northern boundary for the portion to be included in the of the new riding.

The commission agreed, saying it could meet its population quotas for both ridings by adopting Gray’s suggestion. It said Kelowna-Lake Country would have just over 110,000 residents, while Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola would have just over 104,000 residents.

“By transferring a portion of the City of Kelowna to the new district of Central Okanagan— Similkameen—Nicola, the commission has been able to maintain the north

Where do you live?

The question may seem odd during this federal election campaign, but thanks to a change in boundaries affecting the Kelowna-Lake Country riding on the east side of Okanagan Lake and the new Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola riding—the majority of which is west of Okanagan Lake—the question is important for some Kelowna residents.

That’s because in addition to a vast swath of the southern Interior that includes such diverse communities as West Kelowna, Keremeos, Merritt, Princeton, Summerland and Logan Lake, the sprawling new Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola riding also includes part of the city of Kelowna.

While Okanagan Lake was used as eastern boundary for the former Okanagan-Coquihalla

In an attempt to clarify who is running where, Conservative Dan Albas, Green Party candidate Robert Mellalieu (Central Okanagan-SimilameenNicola) and Conservative candidate Ron Cannan (Kelowna-Lake Country) teamed up last month for a news conference to try and make it clear.

At the time, both Albas and Mellalieu said they had already encountered some confusion by residents about which riding they now lived in.

In recent days, with campaigns shifting into high gear now that summer is basically over and more election signs popping up, the delineation between the two ridings in Kelowna has become clear along Harvey Avenue.

There, drivers pass by signs for KelownaLake Country candidates on one side of the road and signs for Central Okanagan-SimikameenNicola candidates on the other side.

The inclusion of the area of Kelowna south of its downtown core, including the area around Kelowna General Hospital and south Pandosy, came about

So, a triangular area with the lake on one side, Harvey Avenue (Hwy 97) and Dilworth Drive on another side and Mission Creek on the third side has been added to the ridings formerly known as Okanagan-Coquihalla.

The apex of the triangle is the corner of Springfield Road and Dilworth Drive in Kelowna, across the street from Orchard Park Shopping Centre.

There, residents living east of the intersection are in Kelowna-Lake Country, while residents living to the west, between Harvey Avenue and Mission Creek, are in the new Central Okanagan-SimilkameenNicola riding.

Catching up on the election trail after the first five weeks If this year’s federal election campaign was anything like a normal federal campaign in Canada, we would be heading to the polls (or not) already, having listened to promises from politicians since the August long weekend.

But instead of the typical five-week lead up to a federal election, we are already that far into what will be 11 weeks of political parties telling us why we should vote for them, or more likely, why we shouldn’t vote for the other guy.

And given the importance of what we as a country are about to do (try something new or make Stephen Harper the fifth-longest serving PM in our history), I suppose it’s fitting that we take our time getting to a decision.

Much has already been said, written and done in this federal campaign, but if you spent the summer enjoying the summer (why else are we here?) you have already missed so much (or little).

So while we here at the Kelowna Capital News kick off our federal election coverage in today’s issue and prepare to examine the issues over the final six weeks of the campaign, I present to you the Cole’s Notes version of what has already happened.

• The leaders: Depending on who you believe, Prime Minister Stephen Harper is either a power hungry mad man plummeting the country into environmental chaos or one of the best political leaders this country has ever seen, creating jobs out of thick oil and stimulating the economy

No Boundaries KEVIN PARNELL with solid policy. Liberal candidate Justin Trudeau is just too darn young and has a new hair cut; however his dad flipped off the west 50 years ago so out here we supposedly hate him.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair is a career politician who’s tried his luck with a few parties at a few levels of government and is now trying to ride the orange wave that swept up Alberta.

All joking aside, it’s important that we all step forward and vote, even if you are picking the lesser of four evils.

their opponents.

The pundits then talked about who won and lost.

How about the public as the big loser? Who cares who won and lost. Give us some help wading though the rhetoric. Who do we believe? Who has the best policies and how will they translate to the working stiffs? Anyone? Anyone?

The promises: Way too many to list. You will hear them again. Not many will be followed—until the next election is called.

Our plan: Over the next six weeks, we here at the Capital News are going to try our best to bring you as much coverage of the issues and the people involved in this election as

we can.

Every Friday until you cast your ballot (please vote) we will present a comprehensive package of stories, people, quotes and notes from the election campaign.

All joking aside, it’s important that we all step forward and vote, even if you’re picking the lesser of four evils. It is politics after all.

Elsewhere, a Conservative candidate peed in a cup, another made fun of those with disabilities and here in the Okanagan, the Liberals and Greens hatched a plan without a plan to allow Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr to get the votes of Green candidate Gary Adams to unseat Ron Cannan.

P

ain in the feet is one of the most debilitating injuries we can be plagued with; it is felt in the arch of the foot (Plantar Fasciitis), the heel (Plantar Fasciitis or heel spur) or at the back of the ankle (Achilles Tendonitis).

Unfortunately, we continuously use our feet, which makes healing from related injuries very difficult.

success, it gives up and healing stops.

Shockwave Therapy breaks up scar tissue, restoring the function of the muscle and promoting new blood vessel growth, stimulating faster healing. In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave.

Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

DR. RYAN HARRIS Glenmore Chiropractic

Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel.

Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used.

After the body has tried for weeks or months to heal the injury with no

Samara Prupas, and Uncle Lorne Prupas

Urban society slides into helplessness Of all the immature, Victoria News ignorant whining that came out of TOM the recent FLETCHER power failure in the Lower Mainland, one example summed up the decline of our urban culture for me.

It wasn’t the people who flooded 911 with calls demanding to know when their power would be restored, or complaining about their freezers. It wasn’t those on Twitter insisting BC Hydro pay for food that went bad. It was another social media moment.

With part of his community without electricity for a third day, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart went to his Facebook page, which has a wide following.

There he pleaded with residents to stop phoning city hall to demand that a local big-box supermarket provide milk and eggs.

Power had been restored at the store only a few hours before, in the dead of night, and it’s safe to assume that all stores were working flat out to restock perishables.

Where do people get the notion that city hall, or whatever all-powerful nanny state they imagine, controls grocery stores? How do they conclude that

in the midst of the worst electrical grid failure on record, BC Hydro is going to address their personal situation above all others?

Vancouver broadcast media weren’t much better.

Their big focus was that BC Hydro’s website crashed, so people couldn’t call it up on their smartphones and find out instantly when their power would be back on.

Some even questioned why wireless power meters didn’t help. Perhaps these were the same journalists who fed the tinfoil-hat superstition about their signals.

The facts should be known by now. After an extremely dry spring and summer, a high wind shattered trees and took down more wires and poles than BC Hydro had ever coped with before. Further damage was done within areas that were already blacked out, leaving overtaxed technicians unable to accurately assess the full extent of it.

In Coquitlam and elsewhere, poles were down in areas too rain-saturated for heavy repair trucks to reach. Yes, there were some too-optimistic repair estimates given out, in response to the constant screeching for instant answers.

About 15 years ago I experienced my worst power outage in the Fraser Valley. In a semi-rural area with little backup grid capacity (since greatly improved), my family went three days without power. This was in winter, due to wind and freezing rain followed by snow and cold.

Trickles of water kept pipes from freezing, and the gas stove provided a bit of heat. I heard no complaints about the crews struggling around the clock with the dangerous job of repair. Media coverage was mostly adult supervised.

Megastorm madness isn’t an isolated case.

A couple of weeks before that, a temporary construction bump on the Lion’s Gate Bridge deck caused panic and rage.

Aggravated by a couple of accidents on the alternate route, and fed by hysterical media, drivers of West Van luxury cars were white-knuckled. Traffic choked the region that recently declined to pay a bit more for road improvements.

In both cases, people outside Lotus Land were muttering: Welcome to our world.

This is pertinent to the federal election. Are you competent to save for your retirement with RRSPs and a tax-free savings account, or do you need the government to do it for you, by force?

Are you capable of managing your own child care, or should the nanny state create a hugely subsidized system, which has already failed in Quebec, from coast to coast?

Are you ready for the day when the machine stops?

Entering Hwy 97 Passing is legal on broken HOV lane a risky and solid single yellow lines maneuver CONCERNED CITIZEN

To the editor: In your Friday Sept. 4 issue you printed a bit of a rant about people passing where there are double or single yellow lines, a quote being: “…Could be your family or friend who would be killed by these ignorant…people.” (Traffic Violations Threaten Your Life, Sept. 4 Kelowna Capital News) Mr. Desmet, if you will go to DrivesmartBC, at this page http://drivesmartbc.ca/rules-road/ drivers/solid-yellow-vs-broken-yellow you will find that it is you who are

wrong. A single solid yellow line is identical to a broken yellow line, both allowing you to pass. “...The RoadSense handbook, in the Yellow Lines section, cites: “Broken line—passing is allowed when safe Single yellow line—vehicles traveling in either direction may pass when it is safe…”

Double solid yellow lines are another matter.

American defends their constitutional right to own guns To the editor: In the Friday, Aug. 28 Kelowna Capital News, Charlie Hodge writes a story headlined “Guns: Americans Remain Unmoved by Tragic Shooting.”

I must correct Mr. Hodge by stating that a great many Americans are indeed moved by this and other events. Lawabiding citizens have obtained concealed weapons permits, purchased high quality handguns, and practised. We know that “when seconds count,” the police are “only minutes away.”

Many Americans feel a responsibility

to take action if needed to protect ourselves and others from these raving lunatics. We don’t expect “government” to do that for us. That’s what the Second Amendment is all about. Our founders had the foresight to put it into the Constitution.

Ask any street cop in the USA. He or she will tell you that all these “feel good” laws proposed will make no difference. All they do is make some leftwing politicians “feel good” that they have “done something.”

Mr. Hodge, you cited a statistic:

“More than 270 mass murders have happened already this year.” I am suspect of this number. Let’s take school shootings, for example.” A victim of a gunshot is found on the sidewalk in front of a school at three a.m. on a Sunday morning. In their statistical world, this is a ‘school shooting.’ If you cite statistics, please explain them in full.

I am a proud member of the National Rifle Association…We oppose gun and owner registration because…registration easily leads to confiscation.

Why are there no federal candidates forums in Lake Country? voters?

Perhaps the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce or Rotary Club would be willing to step up to host such an event. It would be a shame if Lake Country residents didn’t have a fair chance to be properly informed about the choices presented to them in the upcoming election.

Now, more than ever, it’s important to know just what the candidates and the parties they represent stand for.

FEDERAL ELECTION

To the editor: As we inch closer to the federal election, I noticed there are currently about five local candidate forums scheduled for the Kelowna-Lake Country federal riding.

What I’m writing about is how none are scheduled to be held in Lake Country. The name of the riding is Kelowna-Lake Country, not solely Kelowna.

My concern is that some Lake Country residents may not wish to drive to Kelowna simply for a political forum. Lake Country is a growing and thriving community. Shouldn’t we have the opportunity to host one forum for the various candidates to speak to prospective

50 Shades of Blue: looking at Kelowna’s voting history in federal politics Kathy Michaels

Kelowna’s political history could succinctly be summed up under the title, 50 Shades of Blue.

Faithfulness to small-c conservative politics is consistent throughout its history, save for one fouryear blip.

That was in 1968 when Kelowna, like the rest of the country, showed the symptoms of ‘Trudeaumania,’ and voted in a Liberal MP. Bruce Howard, then 45, was one of the 155 Liberals elected to the House of Commons that year. The Conservatives took only 72 seats.

On the night of his win, Howard told a Kelowna Daily Courier reporter

Wolf Depner is a former Okanagan journalist who most recently instructed students in political science at UBC. that his success was due in large part to the party leader Pierre Trudeau.

“Trudeau inspired people to think there was something worthwhile about politics,” said

Howard.

“He makes them feel, by involving themselves, there is an attainable objective.”

By the next election, however, the prime

minister’s star had faded some and Howard, in turn, was ousted.

As he conceded the 1972 election to Conservative candidate George Whittaker, the Kelowna daily paper quoted Howard saying: “There will be more battles to be won and fought, and we, as Liberals, will be there to fight them.”

The Liberals never disappeared from Kelowna in the intervening years, but their fights have continually come up short.

As have the efforts of the NDP, Green Party and various others.

A search of Elections Canada’s record of riding histories shows that Howard’s win

is a standout for the better part of 60 years, otherwise the region has voted in Social Credit, Reform and Canadian Alliance MPs. When the Progressive Conservatives merged with the Canadian Alliance, the Okanagan Valley officially became Conservative.

“If you could find records that go beyond that, you’d still only see conservatives. It’s the conservative heartland,” said Wolf Depner, a political scientist, who has instructed students at UBC Okanagan on Canadian politics, and before that covered local politics as a reporter.

For those who have wondered why, the answer isn’t complicated.

“It’s history,” said

Polls favour Conservatives The following are ThreeHundredEight.com’s riding-level projections for the federal election scheduled for Oct. 19.

These numbers were last updated on Sept. 10, and reflect the best estimates as of Sept. 9, the last day of polls included in the model.

Depner.

“It’s a very Anglo Saxon part of western Canada, with strong British, German and Dutch roots. These people are conservative in terms of their values,” he said.

It’s also an area with a high proportion of seniors, he said, who also tend to vote conservative.

Most telling about its right leaning tendencies, however, may be the region’s economic roots.

had any experience with unions. The driving force of its economy has historically been small to medium size businesses, and their allegiance is to parties that value less taxation and social spending.

“Think of Wacky Bennett and Bill Bennett,” he said.

“These are prototypical small business westerners and they’re from the Okanagan.”

W.A.C. Bennett, a hardware merchant from Kelowna, was B.C.’s premier for 20 years, earning votes by paving roads and building bridges. His son, Bill, followed his lead and became premier in 1979. He passed a series of laws, known as the “restraint” program, aimed at unburdening businesses from government spending on social services.

Their free-market economy approach to politics was a departure from what was happening in eastern provinces. And the way British Columbians voted federally often mirrored their provincial political choices.

Since the heyday of the Bennetts, however, some of B.C.’s more urban areas have changed their political stripes, overcoming the feeling of western alienation that often influenced its political ideology.

The Okanagan, said Depner, was slower on that front. In the ‘90s, the Reform Party gained traction in the region, using the slogan “the west wants in,” he said.

“Now the Okanagan has a government that reflects local politics,” he said. “There’s a weird regional alliance between Southern Ontario and Western Canada, so it will be interesting to see what will happen in this election.”

Southern Ontario could glide off and go NDP, or they could return to the Liberals. “Then the Okanangan will be in the a familiar pattern.”

UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN

Barry Gerding Managing editor

The United Way has set two distinct targets in its 2015 fundraising campaign: To raise $1.5 million and to initiate a collaborative approach to addressing poverty in the Central Okanagan and South Okanagan/ Similkameen regions.

Local United Way executive director Shelley Gilmore outlined her plans at the annual fundraising campaign

kick-off breakfast Wednesday morning at the Coast Capri Hotel to reach those two goals.

Gilmore said poverty is an underlying social issue that many United Way service providers and agencies deal with on a daily basis, from children in school to the working poor in cities like Kelowna.

“We live in a beautiful place but for too many of us, it is also very challenging place,” she said.

Gilmore said there is a cost savings potential if the United Way uses its position as an umbrella agency for many of the poverty assistance program service providers to work more collaboratively to fight poverty.

“Instead of giving $5,000 to this group and $5,000 to that group, and they then go off in their corner and do what they do, what we are saying is here is a pot of $15,000 to draw from, how can the recipient agencies work more collaboratively to reach out to people in need for given services,” Gilmore said.

Gilmore outlined two specific programs the United Way is working with partners to launch that speak directly to poverty concerns.

One involves working with the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, Costco and the Central Okanagan Foundation, to provide 70 adjustable car seats for parents.

“It is a terrible choice for parents to choose whether to buy a car seat or put food on the table,” said Gilmore. “And the best thing about this is the car seats are adjustable as the kids get older, so they will never have to worry about that issue again.”

Gilmore noted when her grandchild was recently receiving neonatal care in the hospital after being born, she noticed how car seats were an issue for the many parents she met at the hospital, and she decided the United Way should do something about that issue in the Okanagan.

“We are doing 70 this year which is great, and hopefully in the years going forward we can increase that,” Gilmore said.

The other program

Fundraising kick-off

This year’s United Way fundraising campaign gets going with its kicks-off breakfast, this Wednesday Sept. 16 at the Coast Capri Hotel in Kelowna. involves placing a social worker at Pearson Elementary, a school identified in the Central Okanagan School District as a socio-economic high riisk catchment area.

Working together with the ministry of education, the Pearson program has been tagged with the moniker “The Hub,” a pilot project that Gilmore hopes can be in place next spring and be established in other schools in the years to come.

Gilmore said schools are often the front lines for poverty issues, with both kids and parents, and having a social worker in place can help point people in the direction where they can seek direct help or assistance from existing programs.

“Again, it’s a case of going where the need is...helping or kids to succeed is an ultimate goal because if a child grows up in poverty, the risk is very high that child will live in poverty as an adult,” she said.

Last year, the United Way campaign set a goal of $1.5 million, and ended up at $1,313,482.

Gilmore said the goal

again this year is to strive for $1.5 million as the demands on United Way supported social service agencies continues to grow.

Bruce Olson, chair of the local United Way board, encouraged those at the breakfast and the greater community to give in whatever way they can—by direct donation, as a volunteer or workplace donation campaign—to help build stronger communities in the Okanagan.

“We want to help kids be all they can be, and to help move people from poverty to possibilities in life,” Olson said.

Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran noted the city donated $30,000 to the United Way campaign last year, as council has identified the United Way as their charity of choice because it reaches out to support more than 50 agencies across the Okanagan.

“United Way fundraising is to help our most vulnerable citizens and to strengthen our community’s social fabric,” he said.

e l t t i l a s ’ e r e h T f o u l l s a ! n i r o i r r a W If leadership and character are qualities that equal success, then the West Kelowna Warriors can expect to be competitive once again in the BCHL’s Interior Division.

While there are number of question marks surrounding 2015-16 edition of the team, head coach and GM Rylan Ferster is secure in the knowledge that he has a solid corps of returning veterans.

“I really like our leadership group this year,” said Ferster, beginning his fifth season as Warriors’ head coach.

“Our captain (Kyle Marino) is a special young man and he’s got a really good group of guys around him. These are guys that know what the challenges are and they’re ready to meet them head on.”

Marino’s support cast will include the likes of Kylar Hope, Rylan Yaremko and Brett Mennear, the latter three who will wear A’s on their jerseys this season.

Last season’s leading scorer, Liam Blackburn (73 points), will be back to lead the offence with help from the likes Jonathan Desbiens (27 goals) and Garrett Forster, who had 45 points in 45 games with the Victoria Grizzlies last season.

Kristian Blumenschein, Yaremko and Nicholas Rutigliano are veterans on the defensive corps who will be joined by promising newcomer Jake Harrison, 16, from West Kelowna.

With the loss of veteran goaltender Andy Desautels due to graduation, the Warriors believe they’ve found capable replacements in Daniel Manella from Oakville, Ont., and Arizona native Forbes Ploszaj.

With at least 13 new faces, Ferster said the 2015-16 version of the club will once again be a “work in progress” in a very tough Interior Division.

“It’s going to be a battle again, you’re going to have two good teams missing the playoffs,” he said. “In any league, it’s important to stay away from long slumps, but I think even more so in our division.”

The Warriors open the 2015-16 BCHL regular season Friday night at home to the Merritt Centennials.

Along with returning Czech-born forward Tomas Soustal, Thürkauf will occupy one of two import spots with the Rockets.

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

It came to Calvin Thürkauf completely out of the blue.

Until June 30 of this year, the 18-year-old forward assumed he’d be spending his entire hockey career in Europe.

It’s a big opportunity in North America, you’re in front of a lot more scouts than (in Switzerland).

Over here, I’ll have a chance to present myself more, show my best side.”

Calvin Thürkauf WARREN HENDERSON/CAPITAL NEWS

But the moment the Kelowna Rockets named Thürkauf as the 59th choice overall in the CHL Import Draft, the Swissborn player’s future plans took a sudden turn.

“No one had talked to me before, so I had no idea (I would be drafted),” Thürkauf said.

“When it happened, it was like, you better take this opportunity because it won’t come along again.

“It’s a big opportunity in North America,” he added, “you’re in front of a lot more scouts than (in Switzerland). Over here, I’ll have a chance to present myself more, show my best side.”

The Rockets had initially looked at choosing a Slovakianborn defenceman in the Import Draft but when the Erie Otters grabbed that player five choices earlier, the WHL champs turned to Thürkauf— even though there was no guarantee he would be

He’s got skill… and maybe speed we haven’t seen the extent of yet. He’s going to be given the opportunity to show what he can do.”

Brad Ralph, Rockets head coach

Swiss-born forward Calvin Thürkauf, who father is Canadian, was the Rockets’ CHL Import Draft choice in June. cleared to make the trip across the Atlantic.

“We knew there was some risk in getting his release from his team (Zug) to come here, but his club was really good about it,” said Rockets GM Bruce Hamilton.

“They see him developing here with us and if he doesn’t make the NHL, then he can take what he learns here back with him to Europe.”

One advantage Thürkauf has over many of his European contemporaries in the

WHL is his background.

Thürkauf’s father is Canadian, he has dual citizenship, and has visited Canada on several occasions in the past, thereby presenting far fewer language and cultural challenges.

“It feels like home to me because I’m half Canadian, I have relatives here and have been before,” he said. “It is a bit (of an adjustment), a long way to move but it’s not like it is for players who come from some of the other countries and

can’t speak English. It sure made my move here easier.”

Rockets new head coach Brad Ralph said the absence of such barriers has made it relatively easy communicating and working with Thürkauf.

On the ice, Ralph also likes what he’s seen from the 6-foot-1, 200-pound Swiss forward.

“He has a big frame, a strong kid, and he seems to be transitioning well to the ice and North American lifestyle,” Ralph said. “He’s got skill

And while Bruce Hamilton is reserving full judgement on his newest Euro, the GM expects Thürkauf will find his way in the Western Hockey League.

“So far he’s looked pretty good, but I’m going to remain guarded until we get into the season,” said Hamilton.

“Some (Europeans) have trouble making the transition, but I don’t think that’s going to happen to him. I expect him to be fine.”

BCFC FOOTBALL

Unbeaten Sun battle rival Raiders Sunday Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

For the better part of eight seasons, the Vancouver Island Raiders had the Okanagan Sun’s number.

In recent times, however, the Sun has made substantial progress in reversing that trend.

Since losing at Caledonia Park in September 2013, the Sun has beaten its Nanaimo-based rivals four consecutive times.

Shane Beatty’s unbeaten crew will be looking to make it five in a row on Sunday afternoon when the Raiders make their only visit of the regular season to the Apple Bowl.

The Sun was a convincing winner in the first meeting of 2015, taking the Raiders out 27-3 on Aug. 8 in Nanaimo.

Okanagan (6-0) has bulldozed its way through the BCFC schedule, outscoring its opponents 319-36, while the Raiders, who are in a semi-rebuilding mode, sit at 4-2.

Still, based on a history of intense games and the rivalry between the two sides, veteran Kyle Patchell said the Sun can take nothing for granted in their preparations for the Raiders.

“We always have battles with Nanaimo,” said Patchell, a fifth-year receiver with the Sun.

“Even with the scores, we haven’t had an easy game with them. They’re super physical and always play us tough.

“With us beating them last time,” added Patchell, “they’re going to come out with a chip on their shoulder. They’re also in a fight for second place, so we have to be ready for a good game from them.”

The Sun—and the rest of the BCFC—is coming off a bye week so will be well rested and relatively healthy for the stretch run of the regular season.

Okanagan’s finest moments of 2015 to date came right before the break with a 5210 pummeling of the defending champion Langley Rams.

And while the Sun has had few complaints to this point in their season, Patchell said the team continues to strive to get better on a weekly basis.

“It was nice to end off with a win like that over Langley, so it was a nice break for us,” he said. “But we still have lots to work on. We haven’t actually played a complete game yet, so that’s what we’re aiming for. Even in big wins, we’ve had good quarters and good halves, but not a whole game.

“We’re excited to get back at it and see it we can put it all together for 60 minutes.”

The Sun and Raiders will kick off Sunday’s game at 1 p.m.

veteran leaders, including the team’s newlyappointed captain Marino, fellow returnees Hope, Mennear and Yaremko.

Last season’s leading scorer Blackburn, along with Desbiens, are expected to be the club’s offensive catalysts.

Blumenschein, Yaremko and Nicholas Rutigliano will lend experience to the team’s defensive corps.

If the two new goaltenders, Manella and Polszay, live up to their advanced billing, the Warriors should be in good stead between the pipes.

As has been the case with Warriors’ teams of recent years, a persistent, workmanlike approach will be the key to success.

Coach’s quote (Ferster): “One thing I really like is our leadership group. We have people who understand what this league is about and what’s required to compete. I like our character, too, that goes hand-in-hand with leadership.

“Like every year, this will be a work in progress.

It’s such a tight division, we just need to stay close, within striking distance and have the goal of making the playoffs.”

Two Kelowna players had a hand in their team’s success as the B.C. Bulldogs defeated their visitors from the prairies in Representative Rugby League on Sunday in Kelowna.

Daniel Blasco-Morris, B.C.’s captain, and Rick Schouten helped pace the home side to a 38-12 victory over the Alberta Broncos at the Parkinson fields.

The Bulldogs jumped out to a 10-0 lead— including a convert from Blasco-Morris— but Alberta fought back to take grab 12-10 advantage early in the second half.

The B.C. team quickly hit back with a try from a short kick along the ground to regain the lead, and never looked back from here.

the Bulldogs helped themselves to three more tries with Shaun Mercier crossed for his second try of the game, while Nathan Hannam scored twice.

Hannam converted his last try bringing the final score to 38-12 which certainly was not a true indication of the hard battle between these two provinces.

Blasco-Morris and Schouten both displayed why they are pushing for selection on the Canada Wolverines World Cup qualifiers squad to play in Florida between Dec. 4 to 12.

Canada would need to defeat the USA and Jamaica to qualify for the 2017 World Cup jointly hosted in Australia and New Zealand.

More than 1,200 runners took part in the third edition of the Kelowna Wine Country Half Marathon.

WINE COUNTRY HALF MARATHON

New record set for women For the third consecutive year at the Kelowna Wine Country Half Marathon, the women got even faster.

Erin Burrett, of Nanaimo, surprised herself with a new personal best and course record in 1:15:43 besting the 2014 mark set by two-time defending champion Kim Doerksen, by just 12 seconds.

“My coach told me to shoot for a 1:17, but I just went by feel and didn’t even realize how fast I was going until I saw the time on the clock at the finish,” said Burrett.

“I like the mix at the beginning—the ups and downs but then the last 10 kilometers along the lake were flat, which was a perfect way to finish.”

The men’s winner of the 21.1 km run was Steve DeKoker, from

Seattle, who finished in a time of 1:10:04. Like Burrett, DeKoker saw the Kelowna Wine Country Half Marathon as a perfect lead up to a fall marathon, but also just wanted to spend time in the beautiful Okanagan.

“This was almost more of a date weekend for my wife and I,” said DeKoker.

“My wife was intrigued by the area so we thought it would be great to get in a fun race and relax for the weekend.”

DeKoker and Burrett each took home a magnum of wine, an engraved decanter trophy and first place price money of $500 US dollars. Burrett’s course record earned her an additional $500 US bonus.

Since opening in November of 2013, Aspire Health and Performance has taken a different approach than most gyms.

All of the trainers at Aspire are strength and conditioning coaches with a degree in either human kinetics or kinesiology.

Trainer Andrew LoCurto explained they take a one-on-one approach with everyone.

“We really take advantage of every single client that comes through our doors, they meet with a coach and hang out with a coach for at least two hours, they get their assessment and they get a program designed specifically for them. Then they get their session so they really understand what’s going on.

“Everybody in our facility is here for a purpose, and everyone has a goal set out right off the bat.”

The trainers at Aspire believe the one-on-

one work makes a huge difference as it allows clients to come in and see what they need to work on.

Another way Aspire differs from most gyms is that there is no bulk membership available; everything is done on a month-to-month basis. Only offering memberships one month at a time eliminates the ‘come as you please’ mentality from members at the gym, but also makes it much more fun for everyone training and removes any intimidation.

“I’m not a gym person at all, I hate gyms,” said marathon runner Jennifer Wrede. “This is not a regular gym. Most people come here and have a goal that they set out to do. Everyone is ridiculously friendly, you come in and even if you’re not in the mood to work out they’re really supportive and it makes you want to come back.

When you talk to anyone in the gym they want to know what your goals are, and they want to see

you get to your goals.”

LoCurto explained they focus on providing a social, group setting where everyone can have a lot of fun, which leads to a closeness and sense of family amongst everyone who trains there. He noted everybody knows everybody, and they even do things together outside of the facility.

That intimacy not only removes any intimidation anyone may feel, but the closeness allows everyone to keep pushing and motivating each other and reminding them why they’re there.

During the summer, Aspire is home to a number of NHL players working on their conditioning. Nashville Predators defenceman and captain Shea Weber, Buffalo Sabres defenceman Josh Gorges, Dallas Stars forward Vernon Fiddler, Ottawa Senators forward Curtis Lazar and Colorado Avalanche forward Blake Comeau all train with Aspire owner and director

“We hit it off right away,” said Gorges, who has been training with Pizzey since 2006. “The group of us with Blake Comeau, Vern Fiddler, Shea Weber and (New Jersey Devils forward) Jordin Tootoo have been with Shane for a long time. I think he really understands what it’s like to train athletes, but

also NHL players. He can tell the days that maybe we don’t have it and pull back, and he can make us push harder and compete with each other which is huge for our development.

“But he’s a good, loyal guy,” Gorges said, “and when I look at who I want to be around, he’s a guy that’s going to push you to be better, he’s very professional

A downed power line can be deadly

and very knowledgeable.

He’s never satisfied and neither am I.” Gorges credits Pizzey with enabling him to take another step in his summer training, and noted Aspire isn’t just for professional athletes.

“This is a great place for not only athletes, but anyone who wants to come get in shape and learn from people who know what they’re talking about. It’s not just Shane, it’s the people he’s hired in here as well that do an excellent job of training their clients. It’s a friendly atmosphere— you don’t have to show off, you don’t have to be something special—you

can just come in here and do your job.”

Aspire is open to everyone regardless of their athletic background.

As LoCurto explained they take clients ages eight to 85 who are there training for a sport or just for their own personal lifestyle.

When someone enters Aspire, the first thing that catches their eye is the slogan along the back wall: ‘Good is the enemy of great.’ The slogan has a very simple meaning as LoCurto described.

“We don’t want to settle for just average, we want to be the best of the best at everything we do.

It’s as simple as that.”

Crown wants 15 year for Cusworth killing Cam Fortems Contributor

The small-town girl liked to wear gold rings on one hand, silver on the other.

She loved grilled cheese sandwiches, ice water and milk, made great crepes for her parents and played guitar.

The parents of Jennifer Cusworth, killed and left in a ditch more than 20 years ago, gave a vivid portrait of their daughter in a victim impact statement Thursday at a sentencing hearing for her killer in a Kamloops courtroom.

A jury found Neil Snelson guilty of manslaughter in B.C. Supreme Court in June.

“We love you and always will,” Jean and Terry Cusworth said in unison at the end of their 20-minute statement to B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley.

“We’ll miss you for the rest of our lives.”

Cusworth was found dead after attending a Kelowna party in 1993.

Crown lawyer Iain Currie is asking that Snelson be sentenced to 15 years in prison, the same sentence he was given after his first trial in 2011. Defence lawyer Richard Fowler argued for a sentence of 10 to 12

Jennifer Cusworth

years.

Fowler said the 15-year sentence proposed by the Crown is fit only if Dley finds beyond a reasonable doubt that Cusworth was killed in connection with a sexual assault.

Jennifer’s parents spoke for more than 20 minutes about their daughter, reading in part from earlier letters they’d written when police were still looking for a suspect in the cold case.

From the prisoner’s box, Snelson appeared to read along and turn pages in the statement.

The couple painted a loving picture of Jennifer, a young college student studying for exams before she was killed.

“God, how I wanted to hold her one more time,” Jean said.

This is the second time Snelson has been found guilty and sentenced.

The earlier verdict was successfully appealed and a new trial ordered after the appeal court

New Business Development Representative

found the Crown could not enter as evidence a question police put to him about whether he was ready to plead innocent or guilty.

Snelson’s second trial was held in Kamloops because of the publicity generated by his first trial.

Cusworth was strangled and suffered skull fractures from being struck in the head seven to eight times, a forensic pathologist testified during the trial.

The Crown tendered evidence showing Snelson’s DNA matched

semen found on Cusworth’s body.

Court heard Cusworth and Snelson had been at the same house party the day before her body was found.

A pickup truck similar to Snelson’s was also seen by a witness near where Cusworth’s body was found.

Snelson was questioned by police in 1993, but wasn’t charged until detectives revisited the investigation in 2009.

Fowler said Snelson’s wife left him after his first conviction. He is

estranged from three of his four children, aged 17, 16, 15 and 10.

“Mr. Snelson continues to deny responsibility for the offence,” Fowler said.

Snelson has already served 1,684 days of pretrial custody, which will amount to 9.25 years with double time credit toward any further prison sentence he receives.

Snelson, who is currently on bail, will be sentenced next Wednesday, Sept. 16.

Dougall Road South traffic calming proposals The City of Kelowna is inviting residents to an information session to view the proposed design and construction time lines for traffic calming measures in the Dougall Road South area, between Jurome and Gemini roads.

The information session will be held Wednesday, Sept. 16, from 4 to 6 p.m. in Rutland Lions Park, 175 Gray Rd., at the corner of Pemberton Road and Jurome roads.

“The traffic calming plan we are presenting is a direct result of resident input received from an information session held earlier this summer,” said Laurens Campbell, engineering traffic technician. “Residents helped identify the highest priority issues and we have developed a plan that will best address their concerns.”

The proposed design drawings will be available for viewing. Anyone unable to attend the information session can view the design drawings online at kelowna.ca/cityprojects.

news _____________________________________________________________________ NOT BETTER NOT WORSE

Life’s about change—it’s your choice on how to handle it I am frequently amused with cycles or patterns within life.

Certain themes or messages seemingly arrive in bundles—as if by some plan or calculated plot to help the receiver ‘wake up’ or ‘get the message.’

When the scenario happens to be a run of bad or good fortune we comment “things always happen in threes,” hoping that by verbalizing the thought process we can somehow either extend or end the trend.

Perhaps it is not so much the scenarios or events that happen in cycles as it is our minds that choose to perceive them that way— depending upon our mental state. If we are depressed we tend to see negative patterns in a ‘can’t win’ or ‘can’t cut a break’ comment.

When things are

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE marvelous or euphoric we are ‘on a roll’ or ‘firing on all cylinders.’

Right, wrong or somewhere in between, as I trundled home from an outing Wednesday my mind mulled over comments made at the event, and how they fit in with other conversations and events during the long weekend. I noted a pattern.

I’m still trying to sort out what the end message is, and not even sure if there actually is one, but sometimes the journey is more important that the arrival.

Regardless of whether

the lesson is being read correct or not, it gives me pause for thought.

Wednesday afternoon I attended the ground breaking ceremony for the planned RCMP building. During the event one of the dignitaries mentioned the current antiquated bunker was built, “back in 1962 when the population of Kelowna was 14,000.”

I chucked like others in the crowd; however, my brain immediately zapped back to that time period.

I was seven and moving to Kelowna from Trout Creek so, for a wideeyed little boy, Kelowna seemed massive. In reality Kelowna really was just a sleepy little summer paradise loaded with orchards, farms beaches,

Even at a young age I realized living in the Okanagan was something very special. It still is, however with nearly 120,000 population it is no longer a sleepy little hollow.

On the journey home I relished what a wonderful life I have journeyed through having been blessed to share most of my time in Kelowna— at work and play.

filled with fun, adventure and opportunity.

My mind raced through memories of hiking the hills of Bear Creek, Knox Mountain, Dilworth Mountain, long before any homes existed. I recalled walking to my dear friend Mrs. Kitson’s at Bear Creek with a .22 rifle over my shoulder and a hockey stick in my hands to battle rattlesnakes on the dirt road. (Try that today and see how far you get). As I drove past the old Memorial Arena I chuckled at memories of playing hockey in that rink, or as trainer and stick boy for the old Kelowna Buckaroos.

Flashbacks continued to flood in as I pulled into my driveway at home, very near the Capri Hotel—which was considered to be the edge of town back in 1962.

The trip down memory lane was a great summation to the weekend’s earlier lessons and reminders.

On Sunday Teresa and I hosted our annual long weekend bash and as usual a plethora of people arrived early and left late. At one point I faded into the back corner of the yard to quietly observe the joyful throng

singing and laughing and enjoying new found friends or long time acquaintances.

Pleasantly amused by the reality that, indeed, only I knew absolutely everyone at the party meant watching them come together was personally fascinating to observe. The crowd was a blend of musicians, media members, artists, politicians, martial artists, and several childhood and high school pals, in addition to trades and professional folks. How lucky and blessed my life has been.

Just as I was about to rejoin the crowd I noticed a face I did not know!

Huh? Who is that?

The fellow had walked through the gate with my lifetime buddy Don Burnett. I made a bee line straight for the stranger and introduced myself. Not only did that action retain my previous pontification of knowing all—it also garnered a new friendship. Joe returned Monday with banjo in hand and we jammed for two hours.

Life is never too short to not make new friends.

Tuesday came with a reality check.

Bailey our pretty white

Flaman Foundation supports Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs and equipment made possible by this donation will help to ease their stress, increase their ability to cope and help build healthy and strong bodies. According to Dodie Lane, a youth at the centre, “The new massage chair feels awesome. Like a real massage on my back and helps me feel comfortable, and I feel more relaxed. I like to show other people how to use it and then let them just sit back and try it.”

Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs is a leading provider of programs to children and youth that support the healthy physical, educational and social development of more than 7,300 young people and families each year throughout the Okanagan Valley.

Each of the 33 centres creates a safe, supportive environment where children and youth experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life.

For over 30 years, Frank J. Flaman has personally funded and helped countless charities, both locally and around the globe. In 2005, he formally established the Frank J. Flaman Foundation to expand these philanthropic efforts. In the first two years alone, he brought aid to thousands worldwide and every year since the foundation continues to spread the generosity of Frank and other donors to those in need.

Parkinson SuperWalk raises awareness

This Saturday, family, friends and co-workers are teaming up to inspire hope for over 1,300 residents of the Okanagan and 12,500 British Columbians living with Parkinson’s disease.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of Parkinson SuperWalk, which is set to take place in over 20 communities across British Columbia.

Join other community heroes on Sept. 12, at Waterfront Park.

Registration starts at 9 a.m. with the walk starting at 10 a.m.

Participants will utilize their superpowers by generating awareness of the disease and helping to raise funds for valuable education, resources and support services. Proceeds from the walk will also be invested in vital

research in the Okanagan, including that which investigates the benefits of exercise for symptom management.

“In addition to promoting general awareness of the disease to the public, over the last few years we’ve been focusing our efforts on encouraging the inclusion of challenging exercises as a part of one’s treatment plan,” says Jean Blake, CEO of Parkinson Society British Columbia (PSBC).

Recent research has yielded results that favour exercise as a method of delaying the progression of the disease. In June 2015, the National Parkinson Foundation (NPF) released the results of the largest clinical study of Parkinson’s ever, collecting data from over 3,000 participants.

“This study makes it clear that everyone with Parkinson’s disease should be exercising. Patients suffer when they delay starting their exercise, and it doesn’t seem to matter what they do, they benefit from just getting up and moving,” said NPF’s national medical director Dr. Michael S. Okun.

As the largest national fundraising event for Parkinson’s, SuperWalk has allowed PSBC to develop programming that not only encourages exercise, but teaches the most effective methods for managing the

varying and progressive symptoms of the disease. This September, the society welcomes Becky Farley, CEO and founder of the Parkinson Wellness Recovery (PWR!) programming to train local physiotherapists and fitness instructors on effective exercise techniques specifically for those living with Parkinson’s.

Natural body aging used to lessen insurance claim We all despise those who try to cheat an insurance company. What about when the shoe is on the other foot?

There are a number of common arguments that some insurance adjusters make that are so lacking of foundation in logic, science and law that I consider them an attempt at cheating. This column

is the first in a series that will expose those arguments.

The most ridiculous has to do with the natural wear and tear, ‘degeneration’ that occurs in the spine.

It is a natural process that cannot be avoided; it happens to all of us.

It starts at a young age and progresses year after

Achieving Justice PAUL HERGOTT year. At some point, it will become significant enough that it will show up on an x-ray or other scan.

The degeneration process occurs at different rates for different people.

My 45-yearold spine might have more or less degeneration than that of another 45-year-old man. Degrees of degeneration are referred to in terms of

“mild”, “moderate” and “severe.”

It sounds scary.

Anything to do with our spines sounds scary.

There’s really nothing to be afraid of. It’s part of the normal, natural aging process.

How does this natural aging process form part of a baseless insurance company argument?

You’re injured in a car crash. Before the crash, you had no back or neck pain. After the crash, you do. An x-ray is taken of your spine to rule out a fracture. The x-ray shows degeneration.

“Look, there, at that degeneration in your spine. The crash didn’t cause that. Your whiplash injury should have

resolved long ago. It must be that degeneration in your spine that’s responsible for your ongoing pain.”

It’s an argument that is used to convince injured victims to accept far less than fair financial compensation for their injuries and losses. Does it have any basis?

If you were to look at the degree of degeneration in my spine, would you be able to accurately predict my level of back or neck pain? No, you wouldn’t.

Scientifically, the level of spinal degeneration is a very poor predictor of pain and other symptoms.

In other words, if you took x-rays of the spines of 1,000 people, you would not be able to predict which of those 1,000 are suffering from spinal pain by looking at the x-rays.

The irony is that instead of being an argument for reducing an entitlement to fair compensation, spinal degeneration best supports an argument for increasing it. The reason is that the greater your spinal degeneration, the more likely you are going to have long term pain arising from a spinal injury.

Our civil justice system works on a premise that “you take your victim as you find him.” If you smash your car into the back of a stopped vehicle, you (your insurance company) is responsible to compensate your victim for all of his or her losses that would not have occurred had the crash not occurred.

If your victim happens to have a young, healthy spine, and injuries are very small, then your insurance company is lucky, and will have to pay a small amount of compensation for that small injury. If your victim happens to have an older, more degenerated spine, such that the collision triggers a lifetime of pain, then your insurance company is correspondingly unlucky.

Don’t let the bunk arguments of an insurance adjuster cheat you or those close to you out of fair compensation.

Better yet, insist always on attentive driving from yourself as well as those around you so as to prevent injuries from occurring in the first place.

Maxine DeHart isn’t afraid of taking on responsibilities.

In addition to working at the Ramada Inn as director of sales and marketing, DeHart also writes a weekly business column for the Kelowna Capital News and is a City of Kelowna councillor.

DeHart has been at the Ramada for the past 30 years after starting as a conference manager before creating and moving into the sales department, where her job is to sell the hotel and make sure the sleeping rooms and conference halls are all full.

DeHart originally worked for Scotiabank in Kelowna, a role that saw her take a job in Vancouver for 18 months before returning to the Kelowna branch. At that point she knew that if she wanted another promotion she would have to move, and as she didn’t want to leave Kelowna she jumped at the opportunity of working at the Ramada Inn when it was offered to her.

“It’s a very different type of job,” she explained. “People say once you’re in the hotel industry or tourism, but hotels specifically, you don’t want to leave it.

To be in this industry you really have to like people, because all you do is

meet with people all day.”

Being a self-described people person has helped DeHart flourish in the hotel industry. She loves working in sales as it allows her to meet an incredibly diverse spectrum of people who pass through the hotel; and of course it doesn’t hurt that she knows she wouldn’t enjoy sitting in a back room number crunching.

The business connections DeHart has gained through working in the hotel industry have helped her launch into other professions as well. Since 1998 she has been writing Straight from DeHart, a weekly business column for the Capital News. Although writing a column wasn’t something she originally thought she could do, Straight from DeHart has grown from an average of 500 words per column when it started to now consisting of an average of 2,000 words in every Wednesday edition.

DeHart’s expansion into other lines of work didn’t stop with her foray into media, as she is currently serving her second term as a Kelowna city councillor. DeHart noted she has always been interested in politics, so in 2011 she decided to run for city council. She has

enjoyed her time on council, again as evidenced by her is another way decision to run for a to meet more people; second term, although something she always she acknowledged it loves to do. wasn’t quite what she “It’s really great to originally expected. get out there and meet “You never really know people.

Water is not necessary to create colour and beauty in your home landscapes, according to Eva Antonijevic, community programs director for the Friends of the Summerland Ornamental Gardens (SOG).

“Drought-tolerant

landscapes are not just gravel and yucca.

They can be vibrant with colour,” she says, pointing to the Welcome Garden, where simple white flowers of a Japanese aster form a

bright cloud beside the vibrant rose-coloured fleece flower, with a tall cluster of golden lace in the background.

This is now a more drought-tolerant perennial bed, replanted in 2012 to “reflect the environmental ethics of today’s gardeners,” comments Antonijevic.

society,” she adds.

Before that it was a rose garden, but all the roses were lost in the winter of 2010-2011 and the decision was made to transition it to experimental watersaving perennials. There was a water savings of 63,000 litres of water in the first year, enough to fill a swimming pool.

Even if you’re not willing or able to cut out all your water use on outdoor landscapes, reducing the amount of outside watering is just as important in the dry Okanagan valley, where water is a particularly precious commodity, she believes.

Since Antonijevic started work at the 15acre ornamental garden four years ago, she has taken steps to reduce water use, except in the innovative 2.5acre xeriscape garden started by Brian Stretch in 1991. It’s still the first and largest xeriscape demonstration garden in the country, she notes with pride.

Efforts have also been made to water more efficiently elsewhere in the gardens. For instance, an irrigation audit led to repairing and raising the sprinkler heads in the turf areas, funded in part through an Okanagan Basin Water Board grant, and resulting in another 29 per cent water saving.

Antonijevic has applied for a separate grant to hire a dedicated xeriscape gardener to continue garden renovations to reduce water needs and the expense of annual beds. When she began

at the gardens, 14,000 annuals were planted each spring. That said, there are a wide and colourful variety of drought-tolerant annuals as well, from popular zinnias and portulaca to alyssum, calendula, cosmos, geranium, marigolds, California and Shirley poppies, petunias, sunflowers and nasturtium. And many can be started from seed.

In the coming year, the SOG will feature a selection of plants highlighted at participating local garden centres as part of the Make Water Work Plant Collection, including thrift, lavender, sedum, coreopsis, blanket flower, catnip and thyme.

Meanwhile, you can go to the Make Water Work

website for details: www. makewaterwork.ca/ plants.

Looking for additional inspiration for your yard?

Antonijevic recommends the Okanagan Xeriscape Association website (www. okanaganxeriscape. org) which provides valuable tips and advice about conserving water on your landscape, but also a plant database of more than 400 droughttolerant annuals, perennials, trees, vines and shrubs.

Also, check out the Autumn Garden Tour in Penticton Sept. 19 which includes a number of local xeriscape gardens, with proceeds going to the SOG. For details, go to www.summerland ornamentalgardens.org.

With 24 per cent of all Okanagan water used on household lawns and gardens, and less water available per person than anywhere in Canada, valley residents are encouraged to reduce outdoor water use this summer and fall. Take the pledge to Make Water Work at www.

MakeWaterWork.ca.

Take the pledge to: • Water plants. Not pavement.

• Water between dusk and dawn.

• Leave lawn 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) tall • Leave grass clippings as mulch • Top dress with compost; and • Change out some lawn for drought-tolerant turf and/or native and lowwater variety plants.

Shoe Bank fundraiser set for Saturday For the shoe charity that puts footwear on those in need, it seemed only fitting that its annual fundraiser would give participants a chance to “walk a mile in their shoes.”

The Kelowna-based Shoe Bank Canada is hoping as many as 300 people will slide off their flip-flops and sneakers to join in the upcoming Barefoot on the Boardwalk fundraiser.

“We’re all about putting shoes on people’s feet, and charities need income to make good things happen,” said Shoe Bank Canada co-founder Jim Belshaw.

“There are so many runs and walks in this city, we wanted to do something a little different and make it meaningful to our mission, as well as fun and familyfriendly.”

Barefoot on the Boardwalk, which takes place Saturday, will see participants gather at Kelowna City Park Boardwalk (near the water park at Hot Sands Beach) before walking two kilometres barefoot.

About 130 people registered for the inaugural Barefoot on the Boardwalk, which raised critical shipping and operational funds for the shoe bank.

Registration for Saturday’s Barefoot on the Boardwalk event is $20 for individuals and $100 for a team of six. Each registrant will receive a T-shirt and a bottle of water. Register online at FreshAir.ca or in person at both Fresh Air locations and at Roy’s Shoes until 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 11. Last-minute registrants will be accepted from 10:30 a.m. on Saturday at the event.

“For every dollar we raise, we can put a pair of shoes on someone,” said Belshaw.

Dinner conversations to provide input The Central Okanagan Foundation is inviting groups and individuals to sit down at one of the more than100 dinners planned between Oct. 6 and 18 to discuss ways to improve our community.

The 100 Dinners initiative aims to engage the public in 100 different dinner conversations, focused on ideas for making the community a place to live that is secure, healthy, smart, creative and connected.

Vital Signs program coordinator Kimberly Carter organized 100 Dinners as a community engagement to complement the Central Okanagan’s 2015 Vital Signs report, which will be released to the public on Oct. 6.

The dinners will start that same night and run until the evening before the Canadian federal election.

The Central Okanagan

Chartwell Fall Fest.

Foundation is asking participants to use the Vital Signs report, along with their own experiences, to inform their dinner conversations about the challenges ahead and past successes in the Central Okanagan.

100 Dinners is based on the success of similar community engagement events held in Chicago and Toronto. Any group or individual can sign up to host a dinner by registering online: https://100dinners. eventbrite.ca.

Hosts can invite family, friends, neighbours, and/or colleagues as guests. The key is to have 10 people or less at each dinner table so everyone has a chance to participate in the conversation and be heard.

Hosts will decide what kind of dinner they can accommodate based on their chosen location and

budget.

Some might invite friends to a sit-down dinner in their home or to meet at a restaurant and split the bill.

Others might organize a potluck among colleagues at the office, or make it a family affair by turning this year’s Thanksgiving dinner into one of our 100 Dinners.

For those who prefer to focus on the conversation and leave the cooking and dishes aside, the Central Okanagan Foundation has partnered with La Bussola, which is offering a prix fixe menu ($25 per person) on the night of Oct. 6.

Hosts should reserve online or call 250-7633110 and request a “100 Dinners” table.

Hosts will be asked to report back on the ideas discussed at their dinner conversation.

The Central Okanagan Foundation will compile

the ideas and then share the information gathered with our community through a set of articles published in the Kelowna Capital News.

To download a free Hosting Toolkit, visit centralokanaganfoundation.org/100dinners/.

Dinners host, visit https://100dinners. eventbrite.ca.

To get your copy of the Central Okanagan’s 2015 Vital Signs report, attend the launch event on Oct. 6 at the Laurel Packinghouse, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. The event is free of charge and open to the public.

over the Confederation Bridge.

Though no trip to PEI would be complete without purchasing an Anne of Green Gables hat, which included her signature red, braided locks. Then wearing it for almost the rest of the adventure and having almost everyone take it for a spin.

I always thought I could pull off being a redhead. Then again, maybe not.

Whether it was the whale spotting while aboard the Confederation Ferry (from PEI to Nova Scotia), or jumping for joy when meeting the world’s largest lobster in Shediac, NB, or just taking a scenic run along the St. John river in Fredericton, NB, I wouldn’t say I’m a veteran when it comes to the lay of the land in the Atlantic provinces, but the next time I go, it won’t be my first rodeo.

And if the 2016 Subaru Forester is my steer, I’m heading in the right direction.

With or without crying kids.

The 2016 Forester 2.5i has a starting MSRP of $25,995 (excluding delivery and taxes.) The 2.0XT starts at $33,495 (excluding delivery and taxes.)

Safety Tip: The start of the school year is a great time to review the rules of the road and your kids’ route to and from school. If you’re dropping them off in a school zone, make sure they exit the car on the side closest to the sidewalk.

Five stars for Audi Q7 in Euro NCAP crash test V r

Audi Q7.

The European Euro NCAP consortium has awarded the new Audi Q7 with the top grade of five stars for safety.

The results for adult protection in frontal and side impact collisions, pedestrian protection and child safety put the Audi Q7 among the safest cars in its category.

The new Audi Q7 is expected to go on sale in the North American market by early 2016.

The European testers gave the model the top grade of five stars for safety.

CONTRIBUTED

The results for the rear passengers in a frontal impact collision show that not only are the driver and front passenger in the Audi Q7 very well protected, the rear passengers are too.

The car also offers plenty of room and a high level of safety for children. Up to six child seats can be installed in the SUV. The generous space makes their installation simple and comfortable.

The individual seats in the optional third row are fully usable and are also certified for ECE Group III child seats for children weighing up to

36 kilograms (79.4 lb).

The model received the “Euro NCAP Advanced” reward for the multi collision brake assist system and for Audi pre sense basic, which in danger situations tensions the seatbelt before a collision and closes the windows and sunroof.

The multi collision brake assist system initiates braking automatically in case of an accident to reduce the risk of skidding and the danger of further collisions. Both systems are standard in the Q7.

Malibu milestone:

10 million customers served Fifty-one years after it was introduced as Chevrolet’s first midsize car, production of the venerable Malibu sedan has crossed the 10 million mark.

Chevrolet celebrated the sales achievement recently for the global sedan in the United States, China and Korea, which collectively account for more than 90 per cent of sales. The Malibu is sold in more than 25 markets around the world.

Chevrolet’s interaction with customers has evolved since the Malibu was introduced in 1964.

Back then, an owner’s manual and a personal relationship with the dealer defined conventional customer service. By the 1990s, a toll-free line to call centers provided answers to many customer questions.

Today, customers can communicate with Chevrolet any time, day or night all around the world through in-vehicle technologies such as OnStar and social media,

where teams of specialists complement the ownership experience with support and information.

Malibu’s 10 millionth milestone comes as the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Malibu enters production.

The ninth-generation sedan is completely restyled and is the most fuel-efficient, connected and technologically advanced Malibu ever—and many of its new and enhanced features, like its Teen Driver system which encourages safe driving habits for teens, were influenced by customers.

Longer and lighter, the new Malibu offers more interior space. Its wheelbase has been stretched nearly four inches (101 mm), and it is nearly 300 lb (136 kg) lighter than the previous model.

The 2016 Malibu reaches an exceptional level of fuel efficiency with an all-new, available hybrid powertrain that uses technology from the Chevrolet Volt.

The one millionth Corvette, has returned to National Corvette Museum..

Chevrolet keeps pledge restores ‘Vettes After more than four months and 1,200 manhours of painstaking craftsmanship, restoration of the milestone one millionth Corvette—a white 1992 convertible—is complete.

It was unveiled at the National Corvette Museum, where it returns as part of the permanent exhibit.

The car was damaged on Feb. 12, 2014, when it and seven other rare Corvettes tumbled into a sinkhole that opened beneath the museum’s Skydome area.

Chevrolet pledged to restore it.

After recovery from the sinkhole, the one millionth Corvette was moved from the museum to the Design Center on GM’s Technical Center campus in Warren, Mich., for restoration.

Approximately 30 craftspeople and technicians from GM Design’s Mechanical Assembly group, along with GM Service Operations, took on the project.

Mechanical Assembly and the Fabrication Shops at GM Design build concept vehicles and maintain GM’s

historic vehicle collection.

Despite extensive damage, the team, represented by UAW locals 160 and 1869, vowed to preserve and repair as many original components as possible—a decision that involved posterity as much as history.

That’s because under the skin, the one millionth Corvette carried all those signatures from the Bowling Green Assembly workers who built the car.

Only two signed components couldn’t be saved, so the team had the autographs scanned, reproduced as transfers and placed on the replacement parts.

One component with a single signature from Bowling Green Assembly employee Angela Lamb was too damaged to save or even accurately scan for her autograph.

Chevrolet worked with the National Corvette Museum to secure a new signature from Lamb on the replacement part, so the one millionth Corvette will be historically accurate down to the last signature.

Local music scene to be lit up by blues and folk

2-3105 Thacker Dr. West Kelowna

“talented newcomer” at the legendary Mariposa Folk Festival.

Now, over 40 years later, he has an international career as one of Canada’s best known interpreters of original, contemporary folk music.

Always paying homage to his roots in bluegrass and country blues, Essig uses these traditions to create timeless new songs.

He has written such Canadian folk standards as “Albert’s Cove” and “High Ground.”

His work moves from pieces as contemporary as today’s news, to songs that sound as if they were rediscovered from old country blues 78s.

Equally renowned as an instrumentalist and traditional performer, David is a master of the blues and slide guitar.

Tickets for the concert are are available online at www.kelownafolkclub. ca or at either the ABC Hobby & Games (Dilworth Plaza) in Kelowna or Mad Hatter Bookstore in West Kelowna.

Joy has had an unexpectedly long time to finish his debut album.

There’s a simple reason why—his first single, “Riptide,” kept charming the world and he followed his new audience all across the globe.

As well as selling out headline tours in Australia, Vance Joy performed at South By South West, Glastonbury, Firefly and Boonaroo Festivals before returning to Australia for Splendour In The Grass and then back to the UK, Europe, US and Canada for headline tours and V Festival, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands and Osheaga.

In Australia, Riptide moved from alternative to commercial radio, then commercial TV and got a second wind after it

became the first song to top Triple J’s Hottest 100 countdown without an album to call home.

The song has sold over a million copies worldwide has been streamed over three million times a week.

“It’s taken on its own life,” said Joy. “It’s definitely been a door opener. It’s running its own race now.”

says lead vocalist Adam Fuhr.

“If I hear a sound in some song somewhere and catch myself thinking ‘that’s stupid,’ we’ll often make an effort to fit it in, to find a way to include it as an honest part of our music.”

Byrnes has proven that a serious car accident in 1972 has done anything but hinder him. Despite two swipes with death and some pretty hard knocks, Byrnes has still managed to rack up an enviable string of credits, both on and off-screen.

He has produced five albums in six years since he hooked up with Steve Dawson back in 2004.

Byrd Dawg and the Vintage Electric Band will present the ultimate tribute show for both The Everly Brothers and Simon & Garfunkel.

MOVIES SHOWING

Shyamalan reboots career with The Visit Movie Guy

RICK DAVIS

CONTRIBUTED

I once called filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan the new Spielberg after his successes with The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable and Signs. However, his ability to attract critics and audiences to his unorthodox stories with twists waned with The Village, Lady in the Water and The Happening and his once “above the title” name appeared nowhere near the title of the Will Smith bomb After Earth.

There is even a website that someone set up to crowd source enough money to send him back to film school (if you don’t believe me, go to www. mnightschool.org). With his latest, he seems to have hit the reset button and taken a step back with a much smaller budget—going from $130 million for After Earth down to $5 million for The Visit.

The Visit is the story of a brother and sister who are sent to their grandparents’ remote Pennsylvania farm for a week to meet them for

Olivia DeJonge stars in the M. Night Shyamalan thriller The Visit. the first time. It sounds like fun at first because grandma’s first two rules are: 1) Have a great time and 2) Eat as much as you want. However, the third rule sounds quite ominous: 3) Don’t ever leave your room after 9:30 p.m.

The kids soon find out that the elderly couple is involved in something deeply disturbing and see

their chances of getting back home safely growing smaller every day.

Shyamalan is known for his twists, and here is one that is not a plot ‘spoiler’ but rather a change in storytelling style that people may not see coming from the usually serious director: Apparently The Visit has quite a bit of comedy blended in with the

scares. And if it works, it could be the most surprising twist in a Shyamalan movie since The Sixth Sense.

The Visit will likely not have the box office clout of some of his earlier movies, but if it reaches its expected $15 million opening weekend, it will be a financial success— and maybe he will not have to go back to film

school.

It is a relatively quiet weekend for new movies as the weekend after Labour Day can be the quietest of the year, but there is a lot of noise coming out of Canada’s largest city as The Toronto International Film Festival kicks off this week. It is one of the biggest in the world because it is the first chance for studios, critics and audiences to see many of the films that will go on to be Academy Award winners.

In past years, TIFF saw the premieres of Slumdog Millionaire, Precious, The King’s Speech, Argo, Silver Linings Playbook and 12 Years a Slave.

The headliner this year is the highly anticipated Ridley Scott/Matt Damon collaboration The

Martian, making its world premiere at the festival (the rest of the world gets to see it starting Oct. 2).

There are 289 feature films being shown this year,

256 of which are world, international or North American premieres. Pay attention to what movies create the biggest buzz at TIFF and you can start making your predictions early.

The Printemps Department store housed in a Norman/Tudor building and other high end boutiques. Shopping is as much a pastime in Deauville as horses and yachts.

Patricia Sheridan contributor

DEAUVILLE, France—Summer in Paris can be a steamy soup swimming with tourists. So follow the smart Parisians and get out of town.

The easiest destination is the resort of Deauville on the north Atlantic shoreline. In less than two hours by train from Paris’ St. Lazare station, you can be standing on its expansive sandy beach dotted with colourful umbrella tents. Bathed in sun and cool sea breezes, Deauville has a panache all its own.

If you are looking for a charming fishing village or a town clinging to its medieval facade, this is not that place. Dreamed up and developed in the mid-1800s by Duke Charles Auguste de Morny and some forward-thinking businessmen who

understood that recreation could be as profitable as fishing, Deauville was created to keep visitors with disposable income entertained from morning until night.

It’s a bit like France’s Atlantic City, with casinos and horse racing as the big draws. There is a Disneyesque atmosphere here, with lots of half-timbered Norman architecture and the iconic hotel, Le Normandy. Unlike Disneyland, this timbering is the real deal.

During the high summer season, the town centre is filled with market stalls where everything from fresh fish to fine linen and

cashmere sweaters are sold.

Luxury-brand boutiques line the streets around Le Normandy, including Hermes, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton and Longchamp. It is a tradition that goes back to Coco Chanel’s boutique on Rue Gontaut-Biron, which she opened in Deauville in 1913 with the help of her lover, Boy Capel.

August is the time of year to visit if you want to see polo or show jumping or bet on the ponies, but September has the annual American Film Festival. This year, the 41st festival will be held Sept. 4-13. Evidence of the star power it produces lines the ironwood boardwalk that runs along the beach.

The wooden beach cabins carry the names of film stars and producers who have attended the festival over the years.

Because Deauville sits next to Trouville in the heart of Normandy, some use it as a base camp for visiting the solemn lines of white crosses and D-Day landing beaches of World War II. Omaha Beach is slightly more than an hour away. Also nearby is Bayeux, where the famous tapestry depicts the Norman invasion of England and the victory of William the Conqueror.

In the opposite direction from Deauville is the picturesque town of Honfleur. Artists Claude Monet and Gustave Courbet found it worthy of painting.

Depending on your schedule, you can do Deauville in a day. But to really indulge in the escape, make plans to stay.

contributor

BARNSTABLE, Mass.— Rotaries. Lobstah rolls.

Beaches. Widows’ walks.

Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket are the popular kids of summer vacation.

The Obamas just stayed two weeks on trendy Martha’s Vineyard. This summer’s best-selling beach book, “Rumors,” is set in tony Nantucket.

Cape Cod is so coveted that vacationers spend hours inching along in miles of traffic just to get there.

Filled with New Englanders and New

Yorkers, the Cape and islands can make a regular person from, say, Michigan, feel like an outsider (“Why does WBZ radio keep telling the weather for the Cayman Islands?” I ask, prompting my husband, normally a nice guy but who, after all, is from Massachusetts, to laugh hysterically at my Midwest dimwit ears that can’t hear “Cape and islands,” which is what this area is collectively called).

There is, however, one thing that makes it worthwhile to join the teeming throngs spreading to Falmouth and Edgartown and Oak

Bluffs and Chatham and Nantucket and Hyannis.

Beauty. Sheer beauty.

That, and the feeling that you stepped into a novel, where everything is more vivid than in your plain old dull life back home.

Where’s the ferry?

The first problem people who are not from the East have is figuring out where the heck these places are. Is the Cape an island? How far is Martha’s Vineyard, and is that a city or what?

Where does Nantucket fit into the picture?

So a basic geography lesson. All of them are in Massachusetts. The

by Westerners since the 1600s.

Everyone on the Cape and islands thinks they are special. Maybe they are.

The real star, however, is the climate. Temperate and mild in summer and winter, it always smells good here, with a bracing salt tang and the scent of scrub pines. The light is gentle, with vivid riots of daisies and effervescent

Down the Cape and out to the islands

IF YOU GO

Getting there: Getting to Cape Cod, frankly, can be exhausting. It is 60 miles south of Boston Logan airport, but travel time can be hours if you try to cross over on a Friday afternoon or weekend, when bridge traffic backs up for miles.

Once on the Cape, ferries take you to Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard. There also is air service from Boston, New York City and other cities to Cape Cod and both islands.

Lodging: Try for a house rental through Airbnb or VRBO; also check out hotels and bed and breakfasts. Rentals are not cheap, especially on Nantucket. But there is a place for you. For more good lodging links and information see www. nantucketchamber.org; www.capecodchamber. org; www.mvy.com.

Where can a beginner start? I’d recommend visiting Cape Cod in the fall—September and October—and taking day trips to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket.

The best time to plant is in the fall when the air is cool and the soil is warm. Roots get well established before next summer’s drought.

Plants keep growing new root systems until frost. Once the ground thaws in spring they

immediately begin growing again. This gives them a much better chance to survive and thrive than if planted in spring, particularly if they are in a place that is difficult to water, such as a slope.
