“We’re still having trouble deciding. We’ve looked at all the platforms and maybe if we had a combination of all of them, unfortunately there’s no perfect candidate.”

“Definitely not Harper.

Either Tom Mulcair or Justin Trudeau. I like Tom because I think he’s pretty honest… I like Justin because I’d like to see somebody young. I think it would be great to have someone who’s going to bring in the younger generation.”

“In my opinion it’s the Conservative Party. I work in finance, and it just makes sense that there’s a balanced budget and they’re the only ones doing that.”

“Anyone who will take the health of our environment and people and our safety. The health of animals and the environment is ultimately important, so the Green Party.”

“I would vote Liberal but I feel (Justin) Trudeau is too young and inexperienced yet. I will be going with Harper and the Conservatives because he has done a good job running the country.”

“I feel the Liberals should form the next government because we need a fresh outlook and approach.”

ACCORDING TO ECONOMIST

Balanced budget claims just political showmanship Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

A senior economist with the UBC Sauder School of Business says talk of balanced budgets vs. running a deficit in the federal election campaign is just a political red herring.

Werner Antweiler, an associate professor at the Sauder School at UBC, says Canada is doing exceptionally well in the area of federal debt when compared to the other G-7 countries of France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the USA. “There is really no reason to be concerned about balanced budget plans or the small deficit proposed by the Liberals,” said Antweiler.

“Earlier this year, Canada became yet another country to adopt legislation for balanced budgets…this is not based on sound

economics but on political showmanship.”

As the federal election campaign has wound its way toward the Oct. 19 vote, the three main parties battling for seats have become situated on opposite sides of the balanced budget issue.

The Conservatives and NDP say they will balance the budget while the Liberals propose running a deficit and spending money on infrastructure needs across the country.

“This is not something I would lose any sleep over,”explained Antweiler “What is more important to look at is the overall debt picture.

“How big is our federal debt compared to where it was a few years ago and it has been relatively stable since 2009.

“If you compare to the other G-7 countries we are doing exceptionally well, especially when you compare to other federal

states like Germany and the U.S.” In fact, Antweiler says many of the past governments of Canada have done a good job managing our federal debt, dating back to the Paul Martin Liberal government and through the Stephen Harper Conservative era.

“The Conservatives have done a good job keeping the debt in check and so did the Liberals so neither party is better at managing our public debt,” said Antweiler.

“They have all done exceptionally well, especially Paul Martin.

When the Liberals came in (taking over from the PC in 1993) they had a debt of almost 70 per cent of domestic growth and when they handed over the government to the Conservatives the debt load had decreased from 70 to 30 per cent.”

In terms of this federal

election, Antweiler says the Liberals plan to run deficit budgets out of the gates if elected would be considered good debt to add, especially with interest rates at all-time lows.

“There is good debt and bad debt,” he said.

“When governments spend money there are good things to spend it on. When you invest in things like infrastructure and borrow money to build bridges or roads, where future generations will continue paying for this infrastructure and the use is spent across many decades, this is perfectly sensible.

“Borrowing money at these low interest rates is easy because you can lock in the rate for a very long time.

“Bad debt is when you borrow money to give goodies to voters like tax breaks. Then you are just shifting the burden to the

Antweiler was critical of all parties promising tax breaks to small segments of the population, calling them boutique tax credits that are more electioneering than sound economic policy.

“All the parties have announced boutique tax credits, whether it be various child benefits or

“This is not good public policy. This is electioneering. It would be much better to give money directly to organizations and schools and provide support to everyone that way. That money could be much better spent.”

In terms of the

balanced budget laws, Antweiler says government accountability on fiscal policy should be left to the voters, who will hold government accountable at election time. @KP_media1

Voters showed up at advance polling stations across Canada in droves, and the Central Okanagan was no different.

Enduring wait times as long as two hours, the Central Okanagan–Similkameen–Nicola riding saw 13,680 voters show up, while 12,661 made their way to advance polls for Kelowna–Lake Country.

The estimated number of Canadians who voted on the four advance voting days in the federal general election, from Friday, Oct. 9 to Monday, Oct. 12, far outnumbered what happened in previous elections.

Elections Canada reported some 3.6 million electors voted at the advance polls in this general election, amounting to a 71 per cent increase from the 2,100,855 electors who voted in advance in the 2011 general election. This increase was due in part to an additional advance voting day last Sunday, offered for the first time.

More than 850,000 Canadians voted on Friday and over 1.2 million on Monday, representing the two busiest days of advance voting ever.

It should be noted that these are estimates. Not all polls have yet reported.

“Many Canadians chose to vote at advance polls in this election,” said chief electoral officer of Canada, Marc Mayrand.“Having four polling days provided greater flexibility and convenience for voters.”

According to Wolf Depner, a political analyst who taught political science at UBC Okanagan, the high participation rate in advance voting won’t necessarily translate to higher overall turnout.

“It’s a bit like using the time-shifting function on your DVR and not indicative of future turnout,” said Depner, explaining that it’s just likely that those who intended to vote all along, and have previously voted, showed up to earlier opportunities for convenience.

Depner added that he hasn’t seen cause to believe that overall voter turnout will be anything more than has previously been established. That rate hovers at around 60 per cent.

UBC political science professor Kathryn Harrison had a similar take on the figures.

“Yes there has been higher turnout in the advance polls but I don’t know whether that reflects a general shift to voting earlier or is a preview of higher turnout on election day,” said Harrison.

“I suspect a lot of it, or maybe even all of it, is because we have more advance polls and it’s become more the norm that people are voting earlier rather than seeing the advance polls as being used by someone who is going to be out of town on election day.”

Campaign to turn young people on to need to vote A group of young members of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union have initiated a campaign to get more people between the ages of 18 and 24 out to vote in the Oct. 19 federal election.

Called ivote4, the social media driven campaign is being run by a group of volunteer union members committed to getting youth to exercise their influence in the upcoming

election by voting.

“Only 38 per cent of voters between the ages of 18 and 24 voted in the last election in 2011 and we want to turn that around. If more people in that age range voted, we could have an influence on the outcome, and the political party leaders wouldn’t be able to ignore us in favour of older voters,” said ivote4 volunteer Kaci Martens.

STRATEGIC VOTING

Sparked by anti-Harper sentiment Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

The 2015 federal election campaign has brought forward many issues and featured a lot of promises from the federal parties.

But it has also featured a significant change in the way some Canadians are thinking heading to the polls on Monday.

Strategic voting, a movement directed at casting a ballot for the candidate most likely to defeat the government, has arrived in force in Canada during this federal election.

From websites like votetogether. ca, which uses a tag line “Let’s vote together to end 10 years of Harper rule,” to door-to-door campaigns, people are being asked to vote for the candidate that has the best chance to unseat the government.

Never before have so many groups promoted strategic voting, says a UBC political science professor Kathyrn Harrison.

“Strategic voting is now in the lexicon and I would hazard a guess that four years ago people would say, ‘What do you mean by strategic voting,’” said Harrison.

“That’s because now there are organized efforts for strategic voting.

“In ridings where there is close fought races, they are going door-

Push to get youth out to vote YOUTH FROM A4 A resident of Prince George, Martens feels youth don’t vote because they feel intimidated by the process, don’t think their vote will matter and that politicians tend to ignore youth-centric issues.

“Unless we support each other and vote, we will be forgotten about.

Young workers are the future of our country and we need to encourage the importance of that as a reason to vote, otherwise our issues will be lost in the shuffle,” Martens said.

While the union involvement would tend to suggest a leaning to support for the NDP, Martens said the campaign is not about political partisanship, but about getting youth out to the polls.

She said the ivote4 campaign has reached out to social media to help spread the word with, in addition to the ivote4.ca website, Facebook and Instagram presence.

Walk-in clinics seek government financial relief Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com

SAWYER KLASSEN/CAPITAL NEWS

B.C.’s walk-in clinics are feeling the demands of pressure from patients for their medical services and are looking to the federal and provincial governments for help.

Mike McLoughlin, a candidate for Kelowna city council in the last civic election, is the founding director of Walk-In Clinics of BC and owns Medi-Kel family practice in Kelowna alongside his wife.

McLoughin explained that pressure is due to the difficulty of getting a family doctor.

Kelowna is short an estimated 35 family doctors, meaning a large portion of the population relies on walk-in clinics as their primary health care service.

McLoughlin said Medi-Kel has 12,500 unattached patients who don’t have a family doctor and need that level of

McLoughlin said. “So what are the parties doing in regards to the shortage of family doctors, and what are they doing with regards to making it so we can have access to primary care in Kelowna?”

McLoughlin has heard back from the Liberals, who he said directed him to their platform.

He expects that to be the case for the other parties as well, although he did note the NDP have a good idea.

“The NDP platform is a lot more specific than the other parties. They have some money they want to put into clinics across Canada, helping to support local health community clinics,” he said.

“That’s a good idea and I would support that.

If we had a community clinic staffed by local general practitioners

that could offer new immigrants, people just coming to Kelowna, retiring to Kelowna that don’t have a family doctor could be a place where they would end up.

“That would be a way of intake through that community clinic.”

Walk-In Clinics of BC also recently made a presentation in Victoria before Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government about the doctor shortage.

Their presentation called for three requests:

• Put some flexibility on regulatory limits.

Currently the regulations are set up so that if a doctor sees 50 patients or more in a day they only get paid 50 per cent, and after 65 patients they don’t get paid at all, which is the opposite of the way overtime generally works.

McLoughlin would like to see those regulations change from a daily cap to a weekly cap, as the role of walk-in clinics has changed in the past 10 to 15 years.

• Making it easier for retired doctors to continue working.

McLoughlin explained many doctors continue to work on a part-time basis after they retire, and making it easier for them to do that would help alleviate some of the doctor shortage.

• Find a way to enable walk-in clinics and family doctors to employ nurse practitioners, as family-owned and run institutions usually can’t afford them.

VOTING RULES

awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Wondering about where and when to vote on Monday?

If you are registered to vote, you should have received your voter information card from Elections Canada in the mail earlier this month.

The card lists your name, address, the riding in which you live, your voting place and the hours that the polling stations will be open on Oct. 19.

It is not, however, considered proof of identification, so you must prove your identity when you show up at the polling station to vote.

According to Elections Canada, you must be a Canadian citizen, 18 years of age or older on election

day, and able to prove your identity and address in order to vote in the federal election.

To prove your identity you must have photo ID and something with your current address printed on it such as a driver’s licence, a recent utility bill or a credit card statement.

There is a full list of acceptable identification documents available at the Elections Canada website (elections.ca).

If your identification does not have your current address printed on it, you can swear an oath at the polling station but you must have a person with you to attest to your address.

That person must be a registered voter in the same polling division and be able to prove their identity.

You can only vote at the assigned

ELECTION CAMPAIGN

Potential reality of a minority government will raise many post-election questions

Kevin Parnell

kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Canada’s longest federal election campaign has resulted in shifting polls, rotating issues, talk of strategic voting and changing attack ads between the front running parties.

And, according to a UBC political science professor, if Canada is indeed heading for a minority government as some polls are showing, the country will wake up on Oct. 20 with big unanswered questions.

“Most of the polls are predicting no party will get a majority,” said Kathryn Harrison.

“There could be surprises but it feels likely that none of the Liberals, NDP or Conservatives will have a majority and we will be in very interesting constitutional territory. “(If the Conservatives win) does Mr. Harper continue to govern with the consent of the Governor General and for how long?

“If the other parties step up and propose a formal coalition what does the Governor General do?

“There are precedents in other (countries) of one party governing with a formal coalition but they are not common outcomes in Canadian history.

“My biggest prediction is on October 20, a lot of people will be saying ‘What happens now?’”

The Liberals and the NDP have both come out on record saying they won’t support the Conservatives if they win a minority government, but neither party has talked about forming a formal coalition either.

Harrison said while minority governments are not unprecedented,

the statements made

by Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and NDP leader Thomas Mulcair are unusual in the history of federal politics in Canada.

“We have had lots of minority governments in Canadian history and sometimes they have been extremely productive. A minority government gave us Medicare,” said Harrison.

“We already know the Liberals and the NDP won’t support a Conservative minority.

“I don’t know if we have ever seen such an explicit statement in advance that two parties will not support one of the parties even if they win more seats than anyone else.”

While many polls are suggesting Canada is heading for a minority government, the truth is no one knows until election night and the polls have been shifting from week to week or even day to day.

Harrison said she doesn’t discount the polls but with a long election campaign that has had issues arise and disappear, the polls have been everchanging.

“I’m not one to say the pollsters don’t know what they are talking about but I think there are some limitations,” she said.

“When you have an election where there is a lot of movement in the polls, a poll that was done two or three days before might not be accurate on

election day.

“There has been more movement in the polls this year and more issues that have come and gone over the course of a very long campaign.”

The seven-week federal election campaign began when most people were still on summer vacation and has featured many issues and topics that have come and gone.

For instance, as the campaign began the trial of Senator Mike Duffy was wrapping up, a trial that seemed to put the spotlight on a scandal that could have been the death of the Conservative party.

“No one is talking about the Senate or the

Duffy trial, that’s long gone,” said Harrison.

“The Syrian refugee crisis came and has faded and was replaced by the Niqab issue and the TPP partnership. Items are coming and going from the international news and are getting an election spin in a way that we haven’t seen before.

“A lot of the things we have been talking about and consumed a lot of space and air time and press coverage are other things that have cropped up along the way as opposed to what is most important to voters.

“I think that may be a function of such a long campaign.”

Harrison also said it

has been interesting to see the parties changing strategies throughout the campaign.

When the campaign started, she said, the NDP was criticizing the Conservatives and saying it was a race between those two parties while the Liberals were depicting themselves as the alternative to the Conservatives.

Then things changed with the NDP going after the Liberals and vice versa with those two parties attacking each other and trying to present themselves as the alternative to the Conservatives. @KP_media1

Opinion

Take a stand on Canada’s next government In the final midst of the countdown to election day Oct. 19, there remains an element of uncertainty about the outcome of the federal election.

And that’s a good thing if it encourages more people to exercise their democratic right to vote.

Several factors probably play into that, such as the inaccuracy of polling to predict political election results in advance, and strategic voting to push for change in Ottawa.

Stories written about the potential election outcome by the foreign press indicate the Liberals are in front right now, but again that’s based largely on polling results.

Still, some of the negative tactics adopted by the Conservative leader Stephen Harper this week tend to suggest some element of desperation on the part of his national campaign, as is the subtle

disassociation that some Conservative candidates have done to distance themselves from Harper.

B.C. is likely to have an impact on those final results, and remains one province where the call for change in Ottawa has taken on significant resonance.

Should the Conservatives come up short, the Harper era as leader of the party will likely come to an end.

A Liberal win will see leader Justin Trudeau come to power, possibly in a minority government, but with little political track record as to what kind of prime minister he will be.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair may be running third in those polls, but in a minority government his group of elected MPs could be influential.

So take the time to vote Oct. 19 and be a participant in whichever election scenario unfolds.

Viable candidates this time around It’s not polite to speak ill of the Kathartic unelected, but in this riding it’s been hard not to.

KATHY Reflecting on fields MICHAELS of candidates past is a disheartening reminder of what a political hinterland Kelowna can be.

That’s not that we’ve been subjected to a lot of chumps on the stump. Or that there haven’t been any, either. It’s just been abundantly clear that the vast majority of candidates running in local elections were following their conscience to run a no-hope campaign because, well, someone had to. This has, after all, been a riding that had only one non-Conservative representative in the history of Elections Canada.

As such, we’ve had candidates who had the intelligence, the passion and nowhere near the public presence we know politicians need.

We’ve had others who have had the public presence, but lacked experience.

We’ve had a couple straight up duds who should have done a Toastmasters bootcamp and bothered to learn their own party’s platform before heading to an all-candidates forum and wasting

everyone’s time.

Note to political hopefuls: A nice outfit and decent resumé do not a politician make.

Then we’ve had the Conservatives.

Always toeing the line. Always knowing the content of their party binder. Always blue.

As far as MPs go, our most recent batch of local elected officials are downright decent human beings who I have personally watched work hard for the electorate. They’re even likable.

But they ran in what amounted to a sure-thing riding. That’s not healthy for the electorate. It’s the kind of thing that conjures the apathy that stops Canadians from heading to the polls. It kind of sucks.

This election, however, there’s a tangible shift from tried-andblue to something that feels a bit more like a democracy, and that’s been demonstrated by this field of candidates.

There are some incredibly wellspoken, telegenic people who aren’t Conservative vying to be our local MPs and it’s exciting.

Whether you’re looking at the

world through tangerine- or cherrycoloured glasses, whether you’re on this side of the bridge or the other, there are options. Real options. This isn’t a one-horse election. This isn’t a plug-your-nose-and-cast-a-ballot-forsome-person-you-don’t-really-believein election.

Sound, well-educated, well-spoken people are pushing against the tide of history, offering pithy, on-point barbs at debates and personal insights when questioned. Most of all, they’re giving more Okanaganites a chance to have their unique perspective voiced on a national stage.

I think we need to applaud them and ourselves for that alone.

This city has become more dynamic and diverse and as such we’ve attracted more dynamic and diverse candidates.

What will happen election day remains to be seen. But this time I won’t be sitting it out waiting to hear the inevitable news. I’m all in, and I hope you are too.

Letters We’ve received so many letters during this federal election campaign it’s been impossible to publish them on these pages in a balanced manner.

Here are a few, hopefully not showing bias toward one or another party or candidate. See more on our website.

Needed skills To the editor: British Columbia voters in newly configured ridings like Central Okanagan SimilkameenNicola (COSN) will almost certainly cast the final and deciding votes when the federal polls open on October 19, 2015.

Though I do not “belong” to any political party, I urge voters in COSN to closely examine federal NDP candidate Angelique Wood and her party’s socially compassionate policies.

As noted in the Keremeos Review some years ago, Ms. Wood, a volunteer firefighter and pump truck operator in Hedley, B.C., assisted in hauling six “kicking and squealing” runaway pigs from a neighbour’s garden; and then helped return and properly imprison the porcine thieves.

Apparently, the NDP’s Angelique Wood already has the prerequisite skills and a clear understanding of exactly how Ottawa should truly work.

It’s time to kick the pigs out of our gardens, folks. It’s time for change in Ottawa.

Max Rundle Wilkie, Kelowna

Experienced Vote record To the editor: I’m at the age where I’m sure the freshfaced person I’m dealing with is far too young to know what they’re doing. Have you gone to a medical appointment, and found yourself thinking “This teenager surely can’t be the new doctor?”

I wonder if this misperception of youth is part of the reason people of a certain age choose to believe Justin Trudeau’s “just not ready?” Could it be our generation are the ones who aren’t ready for the new wave of young people about to take over as we retire?

I find the ‘not ready’ argument to be very weak. For example, he’s already fought three hard-won battles…two wins of his riding in Quebec as well as the subsequent Liberal leadership.

Once he began traversing the country as leader, he listened to the public, and to develop his polices he sought the help of advisors. His plan to run a moderate deficit to stimulate the economy by improving infrastructure has been lauded by independent economists.…

Perhaps more air-headed is how the Conservatives have run a deficit every year for the past eight, and only now that we’re in an election year have a barely balanced budget.

And this thanks to measures such as selling GM shares and making cuts to programs for veterans. It’s like saying “Hey I balanced the household budget, but I had to sell the roof in order to do so.” Too bad Harper decided to focus on the “not ready” argument, because it doesn’t hold water.

Keep hands off the rat trap To the editor: Here are some facts about rats.

A rat is about two to three times larger than a mouse.

Rats breed several times a year, producing six to 22 per litter.

Recently, it was reported that a 70-year-old man in Salt Lake City died from the plague, which was transmitted by a flea bite of an infected rat.

Rats are suspicious of anything that smells of human hands, so rat traps should be handled with gloves and the trap thoroughly

washed before resetting to remove any traces of previous dead rats.

Rats are brought in courtesy of shipping, then they make their way to landfills, creeks, houses, boats, neglected buildings, barns.

You need to find the source of a rat population and keep them from breeding with rats being transported by vehicles anywhere and everywhere.

Rats don’t come from creek areas, but tend to gravitate toward them.

Jean Houston, Kelowna

Stop sale of uranium to India To the editor: Remember the uranium deal Prime Minister Stephen Harper signed with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi last April?

If Canada sells uranium to India, it will be a disaster. For India most likely, for Canada probably and eventually, for all humanity.

Despite more than seven decades looking for solutions, the fact remains that radioactive waste disposal is an intractable, unsolvable and growing problem.

So where’s it going to go? There’s a good chance it will all come back to us.

Former American president George Bush ‘the Younger’ planned to establish an international policy to send all spent fuel back to the country of origin—he thought that was fair and appropriate. And maybe it is.

But just so you know: When it comes back, it will be millions of times more toxic than when we sent the uranium to India. What we’ll send to India are heavy metals (isotopes of uranium) with half-lives in the hundreds of millions and billions of years. What we’ll get back is a rainbow of extremely poisonous substances, many with half-lives of just a few decades and one—plutonium 239—with a

half-life of about 24,000 years.

These substances are toxic in quantities ranging around mere millionths of a gram.

They can spread out into the environment by wind and water. Some of them mimic beneficial elements such as calcium and iodine. Some bio-accumulate in living organisms because of their mimicry. None are healthy.

And we won’t be doing India any favours by selling them the uranium, either. One accident like Fukushima or Chernobyl and the balance sheet goes completely the wrong way. India has come close to such catastrophes many times in their nuclear history, as have reactors elsewhere on the globe. Recently the chief security guard shot and killed the other security guards at one plant. Is Canada ready to bear the responsibility for someone going crazy and destroying an Indian nuclear power plant?

Ready to pay the billions in damages, or even hundreds of billions?

The Harper–Modi uranium deal must be reversed!

Hans Karow, Summerland

To the editor: Over the past six years or so, it seems there has been a disconnect between what people in our area think and how our local MP votes in the House of Parliament.

For instance, during frequent discussions with ordinary folks, young and old, I’ve found that there is an overwhelming concern regarding violence against women, and even more so about missing and murdered aboriginal women in our country.

Another publicized concern is, there should be more transparency, disclosure and accountability regarding Senators and MPs. Even more of a concern is the lack of transparency and accountability within the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) regarding the handling and cover-up of the Senate scandal, etc., and just recently the vetting of Syrian refugee applications by the PMO. Also, veterans (especially those in great need due to combat disabilities) are not being treated fairly and in a timely fashion by our government.

When you check the parliamentary voting record of our [Kelowna-Lake Country] MP, Ron Cannan, the records show he has consistently voted against any motion put forward in the house that has attempted to address or correct these issues. In other words, I am not sure if constituents in our area are given proper ‘voice’ by our MP. If you want to check the voting record of a local MP, go to the parliamentary website at: www.parl.gc.ca and click on: Today in the House, and then click on Votes on the left hand column.

I urge you to check for yourself so you can be better informed before you cast your vote in the upcoming election.

Rat infestation To the editor: Re: Rats are Infesting Parts of Kelowna, Sept. 18 www.kelownacapnews.com Walking along Hwy. 33, I have seen at least a dozen dead rats, most run over by cars.

How is it that Alberta is rat-free, yet we have a massive infestation here in Kelowna?

FEDERAL ELECTION OUTCOME

Analyst sees signs that Conservatives are nervous Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

If the polls can be trusted, Canada is in for a change.

As of press deadline, the Liberal Party was in the lead nationally, although that’s far from a definitive prognostication.

“Like everyone else, I sense that the Liberals have some momentum at the moment, but

even four days away I’m reluctant to make a call,” said Hamish Telford, a political analyst who’s authored several books on Canadian politics and teaches political science at the University of the Fraser Valley.

“We have seen in a number elections now where polls have misled us.”

Having said that, Telford said that everyone

is seeing the same trends, including the political parties which oftentimes get more accurate information than the general public.

“If the Liberals do come first, I think it’s an extraordinary campaign on their part,” said Telford, pointing out that the NDP started this campaign ahead of the races.

the Conservative and NDP parties may come down to the niqab.

The right of Muslim women to remain veiled during Canadian citizenship ceremonies was challenged by the Conservative party, and became one of the more contentious issues in this election campaign, despite critics saying that it was a distraction from the issues of more widespread significance, like the environment or the economy.

The Federal Court of Appeal earlier this year overturned a ban on face coverings at citizenship ceremonies, following a highly-publicized challenge by Zunera Ishaq, a 29-year-old Muslim immigrant.

Stephen Harper’s Conservative government plans to appeal the case to the Supreme Court of Canada.

“What the debate has appeared to have done is put a dent into NDP support in Quebec,” Telford explained. “When

For the record A story about KelownaLake Country Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr that appeared in last Friday’s Kelowna Capital News included a reference to the local company Fuhr worked for following his retirement from the Canadian Air Force in 2008.

While Fuhr has said he ran the company, SkyTrac Systems, serving as its president and CEO, was part owner as a minority shareholder and sold the company in 2012, his estranged mother has disputed that claim.

Kathleen Wallace says while Fuhr was a minority shareholder, she owned the company and he worked for her.

She says she bought SkyTrac in 1999 and was its CEO and chaired the board. She says she sold the company.

SkyTrac Systems, makes satellite communications equipment for airplanes and, according to Fuhr, had only two shareholders, himself and his mother at the time of its sales. Neither were involved in starting the company in Penticton in the late 1980s.

they came out in defence of a woman’s right to wear a niqab, people turned away from the NDP and that left (Justin) Trudeau as the only option.”

While it may sound like everything in this election will be decided across the country, Telford said if the results are close in Quebec—which vcould very well be the case— the country will have to wait and see what happens in B.C. In the 2011 election, the Conservatives won 21 of 36 seats in the province and are projected to lose a few of those.

This time around, 42 seats are up for grabs and B.C. voters tend to gravitate to either the NDP or Conservatives, when voting federally.

Signs that the Conservatives fear challenges in ridings they’ve held may have been demonstrated early on in their campaign, said Telford.

As has been chronicled by news organizations in ridings across this country, many Conservative MPs

have been no-shows for events aimed at informing the electorate and silent when asked questions by reporters. Conservative MPs in this riding have been available to local media for the most part, save for one all candidates event apiece.

That silence, or lack of communication, is a sign of Harper’s mistrust of his cabinet, said Telford.

“I think it’s a sign he’s nervous about people blowing it and making stories that take the Conservatives off message,” he said.

That’s prompted him to look beyond candidates running for a helping hand, but options are limited.

“Harper has burned bridges with former conservatives,” said Telford pointing out that he doesn’t have old guard party members to call on like Justin Trudeau has, with the likes of Jean Chretien.

Conservative alumni like Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark are not within his following.

So, who’s been

speaking most recently are former public safety minister Stockwell Day and outgoing Industry Minister James Moore.

Neither are on the ballot this year, but they’ve hit the road in the party bus to shore up support among party faithfuls and those who may be wavering in their dedication to the party.

Day was in Kelowna to campaign last week.

Despite all the lingering questions about what will happen nationally, polls don’t project many changes locally.

The website strategicvoting.ca, which uses among other things publicly available ridinglevel opinion polls data to find the best option to unseat the Conservative Party, has put local Liberal candidate Stephen Fuhr as their best contender.

In the Central Okanagan-SimilkameenNicola they pointed to NDP candidate Angelique Wood. MPs Ron Cannan and Dan Albas won their ridings in landslide victories in the 2011 election.

UBC Okanagan assistant professor Allison Hargreaves (centre) co-organizes the AlterKnowledge Discussion series, which holds public forums at venues throughout the Okanagan.

Reckoning with colonial histories Members of the public along with UBC Okanagan students and faculty are invited to the next free AlterKnowledge Discussion on colonization and how it continues to shape our relationships to place, and to each other.

“Arguably, all Canadian citizens have a responsibility to understand the colonial histories of their home community,” said event co-organizer UBCO assistant professor Allison Hargreaves.

“People often wonder what this might look like in practice, and how we can represent colonial histories responsibly.

“This AlterKnowledge discussion is a chance to explore these kinds of questions.”

Heading up the discussion about the possibilities of reckoning—in art and in activism—with colonial histories in today’s world will be UBCO visual arts lecturer Tannis Nielsen and fine arts graduate student Amberley John (Interdisciplinary Indigenous Studies).

This AlterKnowledge Discussion takes place tonight, Oct. 16, 7 p.m., at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art, located inside the Rotary Centre for the Arts in downtown Kelowna, 421 Cawston Ave. The event is free to attend.

The AlterKnowledge Discussion is coorganized by Hargreaves and fellow associate professor David Jefferess of UBCO’s Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies.

Findlater noted there are many things that will need to be taken into consideration.

Two he suggested were that local trucks

Replant program gets boost to help Okanagan orchardists Provincial funding for tree fruit replant projects in 2016 is now available to help tree fruit growers replant their orchards with high-value, highquality fruit varieties, and increase the value of their sales.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick, Liberal MLA for KelownaLake Country, made the announcement Thursday while visiting Boparai Orchards in Kelowna.

The apple orchard successfully replanted Ambrosia and Honeycrisp varieties this summer.

“The B.C. tree fruit industry asked for a long-

term replant program and the B.C. government delivered it,” Letnick said.

“The funding is available now and it provides employment and business opportunities for B.C. growers while ensuring British Columbians have access to fresh and local foods,” Letnick said.

The funding is part of the B.C. government’s $8.4-million seven-year tree fruit replant program initiated by the province in November 2014.

The program will result in an estimated 1,500 acres of orchards being replanted by 2021, and

about 2,600 jobs each year for the Okanagan.

“Replant is critical to the future of our industry as we need to produce high quality, new varieties of tree fruit to compete locally and to seize export opportunities,” said Kelowna orchardist Fred Steele, president of the BC Fruit Growers’ Association.

“We appreciate the B.C. government’s early launch of the second year of the replant program and their investment in the renewal of B.C. orchards that is critical to the future of Okanagan tree fruit farms.”

Kelowna library users now have easy access to one of Canada’s largest university libraries.

Believed to be a first in this country, the Okanagan Regional Library has teamed up with UBC Okanagan to create what they are calling an Innovation Library.

Using UBCO computers located at the library’s main downtown Kelowna branch on Ellis Street, the public can access the entire UBC library— both the Vancouver and Kelowna campuses— which contain millions of books, research papers and other documents.

“This has been a passion of mine for a very long time,” said Heather Berringer, chief librarian at UBCO. “It’s so rewarding to see it go from a dream to reality.”

While the public has had access to UBC’s library in the past, anyone wanting to look up something has had

to drive to the UBCO campus to do so.

Stephanie Hall, executive director of the ORL, said space at the downtown Kelowna library building— which used to house the library’s fiction collection—will be refitted and could include meeting space and work areas as well as space for academic consultations.

The final configuration will depend on input from the public that the library hopes to glean from a meeting and design charrette planned for the branch on Nov. 5, said Hall.

“We want to hear what the public wants in their library,” she said at Thursday’s official opening of the innovation library space.

Hall said after 20 years, the Kelowna library branch is due for renovations and the inclusion of the UBC partnership space is one new use.

As libraries go, the space will have a different look, however.

As Deborah Buszard, UBC deputy vicechancellor and principal of the Okanagan campus pointed out, because all the works are digitized and will be accessed via computer, the area will be a library without books.

She was delighted to see the partnership with ORL open up the “global world of knowledge” to the general public.

In addition to the jointproject on the second floor of the Kelowna branch, Accelerate Okanagan is also building its Innovation Centre next door, a building that will be connected to the library via an access on the first floor.

Pilar Portela, CEO of Accelerate Okanagan, welcomed the arrival of the library, saying it will be an incredible resource not only for users of the Innovation Centre but for the general public as well.

“Community libraries really are like the town square used to be,” she said. But, she added, in the 21st century with computers, the reach is so

“This will give the public access to the most up-to-date research that’s happening right now,” said Portela.

Renovating the space at the library to allow for the creation of the new Innovation Library—a two-year pilot project— will cost about $40,000, which has been donated by a private B.C.-based foundation. The salary for a UBC librarian who will work out of the Kelowna library to assist the public will be covered by the Irving K Barber Learning Fund. edit@kelownacapnews.com

West Kelowna vet volunteers to save litter of 10 puppies Barry Gerding bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

He just couldn’t say no.

West Kelowna veterinarian Dr. Moshe Oz came to the aid of 10 puppies last weekend that were struck by parvovirus, a contagious viral disease that can be fatal to dogs.

“It’s always a difficult decision because the

Dr. Moshe Oz

person looking after the

pups couldn’t afford to pay for the treatment,” said Oz, well known in Okanagan dog circles for his philanthropic efforts to save the lives of cats and dogs.

That cost would have been well over $10,000 as all dogs required round-the-clock care for almost a week with no guarantee some or any of them would pull through.

On October 19 RE-ELECT

Ron Cannan

“Usually you get about 50 per cent success in this situation, so for all 10 to survive is quite rare,” Oz noted.

Despite it being the Thanksgiving long weekend, Oz said his veterinary staff has pitched in to help with the care of the animals since last Sunday.

“We have a special group of people who work here and they all wanted to help save these dogs.”

Oz said the dogs each had to be isolated because of how contagious parvo is. They each had to be cleaned and medicated regularly on a 24-hour time regimen.

“We went through an enormous amount of blankets and towels,” he said.

While normally one or two dogs in a litter may catch parvo, he said it was unusual for all 10 of the Doberman pinscherrottweiler-blue heeler crosses to get it, a factor that likely resulted from

Robert Mahdal with seven of the 10 pups infected with the potentially fatal parvovirus. neither the mother nor father having previously received the parvo vaccination shot.

“Usually the puppies require the vaccination about six to eight weeks after birth, as initially the pups will benefit from the mom having been immunized and passing on her immunity to them as protection from parvo,” he said.

Oz said taking on these mercy cases is what his accountant will say is not good business practice, but he feels compelled to help out dogs or cats facing a health crisis when there are no other options.

“It’s always a struggle

to deal with these situations, but it can be hard to say no. But it’s also important that we’ve been able to save the lives of these 10 dogs and their outlook for the future is positive.”

For Robert Mahdal, a Chute Lake area resident, the help of Dr. Oz and his staff has left him to extend his gratitude for saving the pups. “Out of a litter of 11, we only lost one who died before we could get him to the vet,” he said.

Mahdal took on the responsibility for the pups after the owners of the parent dogs couldn’t deal with all the puppies. He named them all and says

he can differentiate which one is which despite the similar colour leanings.

Mahdal’s hope is that he can find a temporary place to house the pups, such as on a farm or rural acreage. “I want to keep three for myself and find homes for the other seven,” he said.

He also is asking for donations to help offset the expense incurred

by Dr. Oz to save the puppies’ lives.

If you want to help Mahdal in his fundraising or dog relocation efforts, he can be contacted at 250-575-7733 or call Dr. Oz’ s office at 250-7699109.

But the 21-yearold linebacker and his teammates have long since turned the page to the team’s ultimate goal—pursuing a national championship.

The Sun will look to take the next big step towards a Canadian Bowl when they kick off the BCFC playoffs Sunday at the Apple Bowl against the Kamloops Broncos.

semifinal.

Lineman Lucas Machado and defensive

back Jamie Turek will also return after all three sat out the club’s final regular

season game against the Broncos with injuries.

Despite a 51-38 victory

for the Sun, the Broncos had plenty of success against the Okanagan defense, piling up 21 more points than the Sun had surrendered in any other game this season.

Head coach Shane Beatty said the return of all three players will be key for the Sun on Sunday.

“It’s huge for us now, because now these kids are hungry,” said Beatty.

“Those three pieces of the puzzle were missing when we couldn’t do a lot of things.

“You have Layne’s speed, add Luke’s aggressiveness, and Jamie at corner…we’ll be ready.”

While neither game was a nail-biter—39-17 and 51-38—the Broncos gave the Sun more trouble than any team in the conference the season.

It’s a fact not lost on Beatty or his players, who are adequately motivated for Sunday’s test.

“These kids are tuned in,” Beatty said. “That

was a wakeup call last time against Kamloops, and deservedly so.”

With more than 100 points scored and over 1,000 total yards racked up between the final two outings, the Sun offence—led by quarterback Cam Bedore—looks to be hitting its stride at the right time of year.

“The guys have been getting better every week,” Beatty said of the offence. “They’ll be ready to go.”

The Sun will also welcome Kory Ngata back into the lineup after the 19-year-old running back missed the last five weeks with an injury.

The winner of this weekend’s BCFC semifinals will meet in the Cullen Cup final next weekend, Oct. 23 and 24.

In addition to being chosen as the outstanding defensive player in the conference, he was also named the top defensive back and the

On the other side of the ball, Cliff Crews was named the BCFC’s outstanding lineman.

Crews, 22, from Blaine, Wash., displayed his versatility with the Sun this season also playing on defense and special teams.

“Cliff is the epitome of a team player, he did it all for us this year,” Beatty said. “He’s a phenomenal player, he buys in and he’s a tremendous young man.”

And for the second straight year, Beatty was named the coach of the year in the BCFC. After leading the Sun to a 9-1 mark in 2014, he followed it up with a perfect 10-0 this season.

“It means a lot, it shows how much work we put in as a staff and an organization, and just how hard the players work,” Beatty said. “I look at our team, and we’ve got a lot of really good players. There’s no coach of the year without them.”

In his first season behind a Western Hockey League bench, a lot is new to Brad Ralph.

This weekend will be another first-time experience for the Kelowna Rockets’ head coach as his club heads north to Prince George for a two-game set with the Cougars.

“It’s a long trip, an eventful trip up there, so we’re looking forward to it,” said Ralph.

“I think the (Cougars) have got a good team.

I don’t know if they’ve found their stride yet, but I’m sure it’ll be a good test for us.”

5-4 home ice win over the Red Deer Rebels on Wednesday night.

It was a better result than a 3-0 loss at Prospera Place to Victoria last Friday, but still didn’t inspire the confidence of their head coach.

Ralph is certain his team has more to give.

“We’ve got a lot better (than we showed),” Ralph said. “I’m excited for the day when we play a complete game. Until then, we’re going to be in close games.

“It was a sloppy game I thought both ways, a lot of goals,” he added.

“Certainly not what I’m looking for but we’re happy with the win.”

Ballhorn scored his first WHL goal in the third period on a shot from the point.

“Really good,” said Ballhorn when asked how his first goal felt. “I got chills going by the bench, everybody screaming and hollering. It was an unbelievable feeling.”

The Rockets next home action is Friday, Oct. 23 against the Cougars.

Warm Up Your Home This Winter & Save

In the end, Gage Quinney was the odd man out.

The Western Hockey League club traded 20-year-old forward Gage Quinney to the Kamloops Blazers Wednesday for a third-round bantam draft pick in 2016.

The Rockets had been carrying four over-age players on their roster since the start of the season, one more than

the league limit.

With the deadline arriving on Thursday, GM Bruce Hamiton was forced to move Quinney, who the Rockets acquired last season from Prince Albert in their run to the Memorial Cup. “This was a tough decision but in the end we stayed with the players that have been here since the start of their careers,” said Hamilton, alluding to the

Rockets other 20-yearolds Tyson Baillie, Cole Linaker and Jackson Whistle. “Tyson and Cole have been with us their whole careers and this is Jackson’s third year.”

The Rockets acquired Quinney in the Josh Morrissey trade last season.

The Las Vegas native fit right into the roster and became a key player as the Rockets won the WHL Championship.

Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

In the spring of 2014, Rylan Ferster saw Jonathan Desbiens for the first time at the PreDraft Showcase hockey tournament in Boston.

It didn’t take long for the West Kelowna head coach and GM to recognize the potential in the skilled, young forward from Montreal.

“I saw the same thing then that I see in him now…he scores goals and he can skate,” Ferster said of Desbiens. “He’s a skilled player who’s been very valuable for us.

He leads by example by scoring goals.”

After spending the 2013-14 campaign with Lincoln (Nebraska) of the United States

Hockey League, Desbiens accepted Ferster’s offer to come to West Kelowna and jumped to the BCHL last season. The move paid dividends for both the Warriors and Desbiens, who scored 27 goals and added 27 assists in 54 games.

The 5-foot-9, 175-pound forward is off to a good start again in 2015-16, with six goals and 13 points in 11 games.

“The USHL wasn’t my type of league, there is more space and freedom in (the BCHL) so I can play my kind of game better here,” Desbiens said. “Coming here has worked out well for me.”

Growing up in Quebec, Desbiens never imagined he’d end up playing on the other side of the

Still, Desbiens has no regrets with the path his career has taken.

“As a young kid I wanted to play major junior, but my dad kind of directed me on the college route instead,” said Desbiens, 19, who will play next season at Bentley University in Waltham, Mass.

“I’m happy he did. For me, it’s the best thing I could have done.”

As for the potential of this year’s Warriors, Desbiens said the ingredients are all in place for a solid campaign.

“We have a great group of guys,” he said.

“We have good, big defensemen, four lines that can score and two

Heat women No. 1 to start new season

Lee attains all-Canadian status again

For the first time in their brief but successful CIS history, the UBC Okanagan Heat begin a season as the No. 1-ranked team in Canadian women’s volleyball.

Steve Manuel’s squad would like nothing more than to remain there for the duration of the 2015-16 Canada West campaign.

The Heat opens the new season this weekend at home to the Regina Cougars, with matches at 6 p.m. on Friday and 5 p.m. on Saturday at the Kelowna campus.

With the Heat returning its entire starting lineup from last year, expectations this season are understandably high.

“Our strengths are our depth and for the first time since joining CIS, our experience,” said coach Steve Manuel, whose Heat reached the Canada West final four in each of the last two years.

“After finishing tied for first at the end of the Canada West season last year, our team believes that it has the players, the experience and the depth to take another step this year and challenge for a medal at nationals.”

As for being ranked No. 1 to start the season, Manuel said it’s both an honour and a challenge for his program to uphold that status.

“I am happy for the opportunity to play under pressure right from the opening match, if we are going to have a bullseye on our backs we might as well get use to it,”

For the second straight year UBC Okanagan Heat golfer Carolyn Lee has attained all-Canadian status.

The third-year golfer was honoured this week at the PING CCAA golf national championships at the Chilliwack Golf Club.

Lee won the award based on leading her team to a B.C. championship and earning herself a PACWEST provincial allstar finishing second overall on the women’s golf tour.

Lee won two tournaments this past fall.

In the other two tournaments Lee finished third and fourth, and she also posted the two lowest rounds in the league when she shot a 76 on both days of PACWEST tournament

he said. “In all honesty, it only matters who is ranked number one once the season is over, but we will gladly take it for now.”

HEAT MEN

We’ve worked hard in the off-season and in this pre-season to prepare us for the conference.”

Greg Poitras, Heat mens volleyball coach “We have a great crew of guys this year showing a great deal of desire,” Poitras said. “We’ve worked hard in the offseason and in this preseason to prepare us for the conference.”

Poitras said a pair of freshman and KSS grads, Devon Cote and Eli Risso, “have made an immediate impact making our team better from the get-go.”

Poitras expects UBCO to have a strong first half and contend with the top teams as the Heat works towards the playoffs.

GREYSTOKEPHOTO.COM

The Heat men’s team also tips off the new campaign against the Cougars, with matches at 8 p.m. Friday and 7 p.m.

Saturday at the UBCO campus gym.

After a disappointing 6-18 record in Canada West last season, head coach Greg Poitras added some firepower in the offseason and is looking for a much improved showing in 2015-16.

Kailin Jones and the top-ranked UBC Okanagan Heat women’s volleyball team expect to contend for a CIS medal this season.

She has now won three of the 11 tournaments entered as a golfer for UBC Okanagan.

A Rare Event

DR. MAGDA HAVAS

One of Canada’s most well known scientists was in Kelowna Wednesday to speak at the Okanagan Water Forum.

David Suzuki spoke about the need for Canada’s indigenous population to be at the forefront of the climate change discussions.

“I was very inspired by what he had to say,” reflected Okanagan Nation Alliance Fisheries harvest coordinator Tessa Terbasket, who also spoke at the forum.

“He really talked about the importance of including indigenous people in the discussions. It’s our traditional knowledge and our stories that are in themselves totally sustainable, and we can’t start talking about reconciliation between indigenous and nonindigenous people until we as humans start mitigating their impact on the environment.

“Because when you’re over allocating water and not looking after nature and the land, you’re also hurting indigenous people because there’s no disconnect.”

Tessa Terbasket (right), ONA fisheries harvest coordinator, and Emma Cohen, a member of the Waterlution Syilx Youth Water Leader program.

Terbasket saw the forum as critical as she noted it’s time for change in the way we handle water, particularly in the Okanagan.

The valley, like much of British Columbia, just experienced its most severe drought in decades.

To prepare ourselves and sustain the environment for the future, Terbasket believes we need to come together and have dialogue to find

solutions for the management of water, just like at the forum.

Awareness about water management must increase in order to facilitate those discussions and young people help raise that awareness, said Terbasket.

That encompassed part of what she spoke about at the forum, as she addressed youth perspectives on water and showcased the youth water leaders of today.

“You can see this from social media,” Terbasket explained.

“Youth in today’s world are so worldly, we’re so connected with each other. Something could be happening here that someone across the world will instantly see.

“I see that this generation is awakening, we’re becoming more empowered and you become empowered through knowledge.”

She added youth are starting to become impatient with their political leaders as change isn’t happening fast enough for our water, lands and environment.

Terbasket said it’s something that needs to happen to preserve the Okanagan’s ecosystem for the future.

Senseless behaviour by bottle throwing baseball fans

So, how about those Blue Jays?

Wednesday’s playoff series clinching win held the components necessary to rank as one of the all-time ‘greatest’ baseball games, especially if you are Toronto Blue Jays fan.

Even a non-baseball fan like myself has to admit it was certainly entertaining—great hits, pitches, catches, double plays, controversy, heated tempers and crazy fans.

Of course, having Dexter, the world’s biggest (and loudest) Jays fan in the land living with us, is a great resource for knowing when and when not to run over and check out what is happening on the TV screen.

With the plethora of sports choices available to watch and a wonderful ability to procrastinate from doing anything effective or functional, I need to regularly monitor my time spent with a clicker in my hand.

My passion for hockey tends to take up more than enough of my spare time.

With whatever time remains on my leisure clock, I tend to set it aside for anything else other than baseball or basketball, both of which generally bore me to tears.

Basketball has too much scoring going on and baseball is the opposite, as dull as watching paint dry for the most part.

Seems to me there is way too much standing around doing nothing, which is why I maintain ball players are generally in the worse shape of all pro athletes.

Much of the game is spent with only three players involved—pitcher, catcher and batter. Until one of those three does something significant, nobody else moves.

No other team sport ignores most of the team most of the time.

There are no significantly overweight players in other sports such as hockey, soccer, lacrosse, rugby or basketball. There

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE are a few in football, but they are around to squish other players or run them over like a cement truck and you have to like that sort of thing.

Only in baseball can you find a guy so heavy he can barely run around the bases, only to get called safe by an umpire the size of three horse jockeys. Anyway, I digress.

Wednesday’s game was awesome, except for one key factor—fan stupidity.

Sadly, the fabulous game was marred by idiotic supposed ‘fans’ who decided more than once to toss objects, including bottles, from high up in the stands down onto the field.

While I am confident that alcohol played a factor in such conduct, that is no excuse for senseless behaviour.

But baseball groupies are not the only idiots who purchase tickets and then act like morons.

I can recall a number of incidents involving hockey fans. One particular night stands out in memory while the trainer/stick boy with the Kelowna Buckaroos. Seems a fan from Kamloops took exception to a Buckaroo leveling one of his heroes and tossed a bottle in his general direction.

Unfortunately, the aim was nearly as wonky as the tosser and the bottle nailed a fan in the front row in the back of the head. The wounded woman was as much in shock as anything else.

The lacerations on her scalp were deep and cause for great concern until the paramedics arrived in the dressing room where I was attempting to slow the bleeding and calm the woman down.

I also recall with horror during a game in which I was playing when a local fan tossed a bottle from the top level of the stands

A Gift in Memory Makes a Difference

onto the ice. The large pop bottle literally bounced twice on the ice between myself and our goalie and then slid into the boards before shattering.

I heard it whirl past my ear. I never really felt safe

again on the ice.

I am constantly boggled by such ignorance and admit to no tolerance for such asinine behaviour. A fan caught in such an act should be banned for life from the facility.

Regardless, I salute the Jays. May their joy

continue until another World Series ring is theirs.

••• Speaking of games and winners, do not forget to get out and vote Monday.

If you do not vote, then you do not get to complain.

My prediction—Mr. Harper is done, and

rightfully so. I like Ron Cannan, but sadly I have a hard time believing in his boss. I believe many Canadians share that feeling. That said, I believe that Cannan will retain his Kelowna-Lake Country seat. The other Conservatives in the area may not be so lucky.

••• And belated birthday wishes to the two most important girls in my world—wife Teresa and grand-daughter Chelsea.

Thank you for sharing this world with me, despite the dangerous and dumb baseball fans we share it with.

An initiative of Presented by:

Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@ kelownacapnews.com

Renee Wasylyk has seen Troika Group grow in just 15 years from a Kelowna-based development business to a national company that has developments

throughout B.C., in Alberta and in Manitoba.

Wasylyk is the owner and CEO of Troika, which she began as a consulting

#IndigVote

group 17 years ago. She always knew she wanted to get into development, and two years after founding Troika she transitioned it into a development firm.

“Every day is completely different,” Wasylyk said of why she loves working in land development. “For me it’s a highly collaborative process. I think some developers see it as antagonistic, but it’s not.

It’s about trying to figure out what the vision is from the council you’re working underneath, and then working with city hall to see how they want that vision enacted.

Then we get to be the doers, the ones that get to see the vision become a reality. I really enjoy that relationship aspect, and then the creative, building something from nothing or seeing some tiny old house and seeing what could be there.”

When she drives through Kelowna, Wasylyk often comes across buildings built

by Troika, and seeing structures that she built that will be there for 100 years is a thrilling feeling.

However, she noted it’s part of what makes up a much larger responsibility for her as a developer.

“My whole business

plan was not about development, it was about community benefit,” she explained.

“That focus has been there from the genesis.

It was all about how are we going to do things positively, how are we going to be change agents, how are we going to get involved with the communities. I never wanted to be the cult of one with ‘Wasylyk Developments’ where it was my last name, and as soon as I was done with it, it wouldn’t continue. I wanted to build something with sustainability and a company that would be one of the backbones in the communities we built in and developed in.”

Wasylyk has completed many developments over the past 15 years and there a few that really stand out in her mind, one of which was a project on Leon Avenue in downtown Kelowna that highlighted the collaboration of development.

“We chose to buy a property in the middle of a downturn and really reinvest in the downtown core based on what the vision of council was,” she recalled. “We got

Renee Wasylyk heads up the Troika development firm in Kelowna. behind what they wanted and then even the design of the building was a collaborative process with city hall. To me that’s an example of how we really participated with the community and the council of the day in making that happen.”

In addition to bringing positive change through development, Wasylyk is also focused on finding ways for both Troika and herself personally to become benefactors in the community by supporting many charities and non-profit organizations. Wasylyk also serves on many boards, including the Interior Health board, Downtown kelowna association, national council for girls and women, the national board for the breakfast club of canada where she specifically represents western canada, and for the past year and a half she has been the vicechair on the Premier’s Women’s Economic Council, which advises the premier on issues that will directly affect women in industry and the economy.

in the direction she has taken Troika has earned her recognition throughout the province, as she was recently acknowledged as the Entrepreneur of the Year for the Pacific region for Real Estate and Construction.

“That’s a huge honour that’s not because of my age, I didn’t win a female award, I didn’t win an award for a young person. For me that’s a category that spans the 18 year olds to the 80 year olds, and for me it’s probably one of the largest awards I’ve ever won. What I really liked about it was that it wasn’t just based on

my business, although they tore [examined] the business up and down.

What was really thrilling for me was that they looked at the ethos. They looked at how Troika had been built, what we’d said and determined to be and how we’ve enacted that over the past 15 years. For me, that community aspect was huge.”

Wasylyk added she owes a large part of her success to her team at Troika as they are passionate, proficient and believe in the vision that started 15 years ago.

Without them, she would never be able to do what she does.

ATHENS—It was a gaffe that reignited our fears about our decision to honeymoon in Greece. Like those fears, it turned out to be a classic case of much ado about nothing.

As our plane approached Athens in late July, right after a Greek exit from the Eurozone had been narrowly avoided, our in-flight entertainment systems were showing an ABC News segment about the economic crisis.

The report went something like this: The country was on the brink of financial collapse. Banks were closed, citizens were standing in lines 20 deep at automated-teller machines and protesters were swarming Constitution Square.

ways this was—and is—an ideal time to visit the country, especially for budget travelers.

The usual tourist herds have thinned, traditional Greek hospitality is in overdrive and prices are down for hotels and meals.

With tourism accounting for about 18 per cent of the country’s gross domestic product, Greeks are eager to maintain that revenue flow, and no host wants to risk a bad TripAdvisor review.

locals frequent, far from the techno-pumping beaches of Paradise and Super Paradise. There we discovered a tiny taverna, shaded with grape vines, that looked over the sea.

The owner handed out crisp white wine to all the waiting patrons, most of whom were enjoying the smell of fresh octopus grilling on an open fire.

Visiting a foreign country during a period of historic upheaval heightens just about every travel experience, including touring the Acropolis and imagining how this great country handled a massive financial crisis in the 6th century BC that had citizens considering selling themselves into slavery. Or sipping house-made rosewater liqueur while pondering Pythagoras’ wisdom: “Everything comes round again, so nothing is completely new.”

And so it was with our journey. We spent most days exploring the islands on an ATV, stopping now and again to lounge on a picturesque beach.

Evenings were consumed by savouring a bottle of local wine and a lengthy meal, which typically consisted of a fragrant Greek salad, garlic dip, stuffed grape leaves and either pork with tangy mustard sauce or tender lamb with yogurt mint sauce. The latter ritual rarely set us back more than 35 euros, or about $39, for two.

At the end of our Greek idyll we flew to Rome, where prices soared and our personal economic crisis began.

Relationship between smoking and mental illness

I have written in the past about the prevalence of smoking among those with psychiatric conditions.

Rates of smoking are much higher for those with mental illness than in the general population.

One survey of psychiatric outpatients in the U.S. reported 88 per cent of those with schizophrenia were smokers as well as 70 per cent of those experiencing mania and 49 per cent of those with depression.

Along with increased rates of smoking, those with mental illness also tend to smoke more heavily than others (with

Healing Minds PAUL LATIMER intake increasing along with the severity of their mental illness) and have a harder time quitting.

All of this contributes to a reduced life expectancy in this group.

Some estimates suggest people with severe mental illness die about 25 years earlier than the general population.

Contrary to assumptions, the increased mortality in

this group is not directly caused by mental illness but is largely due to smoking—60 per cent of these deaths are due to smoking related illnesses such as cardiovascular or respiratory disease.

Unfortunately, those with mental illness are often not offered help with smoking cessation when they visit a health care provider.

Quitting can be difficult for those with mental illness.

These smokers tend to have higher nicotine dependence, heavier smoking and chronic

stress.

Other barriers might include a lack of supports, cognitive impairment or difficulty coping.

Still, quitting is possible and is more likely to be successful with support from health care providers.

For those with bipolar disorder I usually recommend the use of nicotine replacement therapy as an initial strategy to avoid abrupt nicotine withdrawal.

Abrupt nicotine

withdrawal can trigger a mood switch.

Also the use of Zyban (bupropion) for smoking cessation can be problematic in people with bipolar disorder as can the use of all antidepressants.

It can trigger mood switches, mania and mixed states.

Even though there are some risks in smoking cessation with bipolar disorder and with other disorders, it is still worthwhile to attempt

to quit considering the health consequences of doing nothing.

If possible the time to try is during periods of relative stability and with supervision so that support and medication adjustments can be implemented as necessary.

The vastly increased mortality rate for those with serious psychiatric conditions should not simply be accepted.

If up to 60 per cent of these premature

deaths and many health complications could be prevented with supported smoking cessation, it should be one of the primary goals of health care providers treating this population.

While I prefer a shift lever of some type, the pushbutton transmission selector on the dash does give the MKX interior a sleek, uncluttered appearance. The selector connects to six-speed automatic transmission (both engines) and shifts can also be made via paddles on the steering wheel. City/highway fuel economy is rated at 14.7/10.3 L/100km (3.7L V6) and 14.1/9.7 L/100 km (2.7LV6).

Clever, under-console storage has also been created and super comfy 22-way adjustable front seats are a new option. These seats come with an active motion massage feature for the upper legs and lower back via six adjustable air bladders. They also come with fourway power head restraints and power thigh extenders.

If parking is not your favourite pastime Lincoln MKX has a couple of new technology solutions.

An enhanced park assist system, offers 360-degree camera coverage to provide a birds-eye view of the vehicle (and up to almost two metres all around it), making any low-speed parking situation easier. An even more advanced “auto-pilot” parking system, with 12 ultrasonic sensors, can now guide MKX into a perpendicular parking stall, in addition to parallel parking assist and park out assist.

Like most vehicles in this class, numerous helpful driver safety aids are available for the MKX and include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping system, blind spot information system and cross-traffic alert. A new pre-collision assist system helps avoid or lessen the severity of frontal impacts with another vehicle, or a pedestrian.

GM elevates its big truck game

By Keith Morgan The popular GMC Sierra Elevation Edition returns for 2016 with the styling enhancements and other features new to the entire Sierra 1500 lineup—including revised front-end styling with new, high-intensity discharge projector-beam headlamps and GMC Signature LED lighting.

The Elevation Edition— available on Sierra double cab—has a street-smart stance, thanks to body-colour moldings, door handles, mirror caps and a body-colour grille surround, as well as body-colour bumpers.

It also rolls on 20-inch black-painted aluminum wheels and is further enhanced with new Elevation Edition badging.

“The Sierra Elevation Edition offers a boldly styled pickup for customers who want a truck that looks as good as it performs,” said Mike Speranzini, brand director, Buick and GMC. “With its muscular design details, inherent truck capabilities and premium technology features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, Sierra Elevation improves on an already impressive package.”

Inside Sierra Elevation Edition, the latest technology helps drivers stay connected at all times. A new radio with a 7-inch-diagonal screen incorporates Apple

Honda Accord enhanced in all areas for 2016

By Jim Robinson Honda calls the 2016 Accord the “most technologically advanced Accord that Honda has ever released.�

For instance, both the new Accord Sedan and Coupe offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but they also have factored in older cellphones such as Samsung and LG. And that includes, believe it or not, my sainted Samsung flip phone.

While the younger crowd at the regional press reveal of the 2016 Honda Accord Sedan and Coupe at Honda Canada HQ in Markham, ON, were more interested in the connectivity, to me, buying a new car is all about safety, economy and resale value.

In addition to the mandated safety systems, all 2016 Accords are equipped standard or available with

torque thanks to its “High Flow� exhaust system.

Depending on trim level, Accord offers three transmission choices—a six-speed manual or CVT on the base-mid trims or the six-speed manual or sixspeed automatic on the V6s.

The V6 is one of the best, if not the best, in the business with class-leading power in the mid-size sedan segment combined with the four-cylinder with CVT fuel rating of 8.6/6.4/7.6L/100 km city/ highway/combined.

The Sport Sedan with 2.4-litre and CVT starts at $26,690 for the manual (CVT, $27,990, automatic $28,990) is just one step up from the base LX, with the EX-L, Touring, EX-L V6 and Touring V6 priced above that with the Touring V6 topping out at $35,790.

The Sport (CVT as tested) was opulently equipped

Honda Sensing which uses radar and a camera to sense an impending crash with a car in front, an oncoming car and even a pedestrian. Also available is Road Departure Mitigation, Lane Keeping Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control.

Both the sedan and coupe are rated a Top Safety Pick+ from the U.S. Insurance Institute for Highway Safety plus a Five-Star rating from the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Both Accords come with a 2.4-litre inline direct injection four-cylinder on the base and mid-trim models producing 185 hp and 181 lb/ft of torque. On the top trim you’ll find Honda’s SOHC V6 with 278 hp and 252 lb/ft of torque. There is one exception being the 2.4-litre Sport model sedan with 189 hp and 182 lb/ft of

Comfort, performance, luxury in Lexus GS 350 AWD upon the selection— blue for Eco mode and red for Sport.

What makes this car interesting is the split personality. It can be calm and comfortable around town and on the highway in Normal mode when you take it nice and easy, but punch Sport+ mode and the mood changes to an energetic performer that yearns to be driven hard. In fact, this is a much quicker car than one would expect simply by looking at the horsepower

By Lorne Drury Lexus has two models in its GS lineup representing the Japanese automaker’s vision of what a grand touring sedan should be all about.

But while they are both sold under the GS label, the two models are as different as night and day or should we say gasoline and hybrid technologies.

For 2015, Canadian consumers can choose from a gasoline-only GS 350 AWD model or a gasoline-electric hybrid GS 450h.

We tested the GS 350, which is now sold here in all-wheel drive format only.

The GS 450h, meanwhile, is a high-performance, rearwheel drive hybrid-powered vehicle.

The GS 350 was restyled for 2013 and few changes have been made since then in this mid-size luxury sedan that finds itself in a segment dominated by German sedans.

In 2014, the Mercedes-Benz E-Class had a healthy lead on the pack in the sales race of premium mid-size sedans with the BMW 5-Series and Audi 6 rounding out the top three.

Cadillac’s CTS and the Jaguar XF also outsold the two GS models combined.

The former are excellent vehicles in their own right, but the lack of traction (excuse the pun) with the GS models among Canadian buyers is surprising.

I say this because the GS 350 AWD has so much going for it. Start with exterior styling that I see as eye-catching, something not always associated with the Toyota/Lexus brands.

Their vehicles can usually described as reliable, comfortable and economical, but not always at the forefront of the styling curve.

However, others are not so taken with the styling of the GS 350, which can polariz-

Lexus GS 350 AWD 2015. ing to say the least.

Inside, the GS cabin is roomy, luxurious and welcoming with space for four passengers in addition to the driver.

Classic-looking wood trim, soft-touch materials and leather upholstery and trim with contrasting stitching create an inviting interior environment with a premium look and feel.

Lexus says its designers aimed for a driver-focused dashboard and the GS 350 fits that criteria. They have created distinct “display” and “operational” zones with the gauges positioned directly within the driver’s field of view. Controls are placed intuitively within reach.

The heated and cooled front seats are nicely bolstered and comfortable for long distance road trips, as one would expect in a highend grand touring sedan.

Our tester came with the F Sport Package, adding even more seat adjustments than the base model offers.

If I had one complaint with the GS 350 it would be with the Lexus remote touch interface. The large 12.3-inch LCD display screen is wonderful, but the controller is D# 5601

a mouse-like apparatus on the centre console that is awkward and not particularly user-friendly.

Power for the GS 350 AWD comes from a 3.5-litre V6 engine that cranks out 306 hp and 277 lb/ft of torque.

It is mated to a six-speed sequential shift-mode automatic with paddle shifters. With all the eightand nine-speed transmissions out there today, it’s surprising to see Lexus still using a six-speed in such a high-end vehicle.

That said, I have no complaints with the transmission; it shifted smoothly and the driver has the option of using the side-shift gated manual or paddle shifters if desired.

The GS 350 has a new advanced all-wheel drive system that has front, rear and centre differentials that distribute power to the wheels at 30 per cent front and 70 per cent rear under normal operation. On wheel slip, the traction control system automatically adjusts the power, sending up to 50 per cent to the front wheels. All is done seamlessly, creating stability and worry-free drivability.

test GS 350 AWD had an expensive ($8,800), but very nice option package called F Sport Series 2 that is loaded with features.

Series 2 includes among other things a 17-speaker Mark Levinson audio system, Lexus pre-collision and driver monitoring systems, dynamic radar cruise control, power folding exterior mirrors and a handy headup display.

This is all in addition to the Series 1 features like drive mode selector, sport steering wheel, 10-way power adjustable front passenger’s seat, adaptive variable suspension, 19-inch alloy wheels and various F Sport feature items like unique front grill, rear spoiler, scuff plates, shift knob, metallic dash accents and aluminum sport pedals.

Using the console-mounted drive mode selector, one is able to choose from Eco, Normal and Sport Snow settings. The F Sport package adds Sports and Sport+ models to the mix for even more spirited driving. For example, Sport+ ramps up steering input and suspension settings.

What’s best: The performance is surprising from a vehicle with only 306 hp.

What’s worst: The mouselike apparatus that controls the Lexus remote touch interface is small, finicky and hard to operate.

What’s interesting: Lexus has decided do away with the rear-wheel drive GS 350 and bring in only all-wheel drive to Canada for 2015.

Culture ENTERTAINMENT: WHAT’S ON

Finger Eleven will appear in concert at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Wednesday, Oct. 28.

CONCERT Finger Eleven Wednesday, Oct. 28 8 p.m.

Kelowna Community Theatre, 1375 Water St. Finger Eleven is a Canadian rock band that first formed at their Burlington, Ont., high school in 1989.

The band has achieved a devoted following throughout their existence, which began with money they won from a rock band search contest hosted by a southern Ontario rock music station.

By 1996, the group had found new management and formerly taken on the name Finger Eleven.

“When everything is pushing you in one direction and your instinct drives you in another… that’s finger eleven,” said Finger Eleven singer Scott Anderson.

The band’s 2003 album release, the self-titled album ‘Finger Eleven,’ included the sleeper hit single “One Thing,” which pushed the band into musical mainstream.

The song reached No. 16 on the US singles charts, and had exposure

on three television series— Scrubs, Smallville and Third Watch.

Finger Eleven’s fifth studio album in 2007, titled “Them vs. You vs.

Me,” came next with the first single release, “Paralyzer,” turning into the band’s most successful single to date, reaching No. 1 on both the Canadian and US music charts.

The album was awarded the 2008 Juno for Rock Album of the Year.

When Finger Eleven decided to start writing the follow-up to their 2010 album Life Turns Electric, the band members all agreed they wanted to do something different—they just weren’t exactly sure what that was.

So over a two-anda-half year period, they decided to try a bit of everything over a multitude of writing sessions.

The result was “Five Crooked Lines,” the band’s sixth studio album and first album in five years, which led to the launching of Finger Eleven’s current tour.

Tickets for the Kelowna show are available at www.SelectYourTickets.

Lidstone has performed with the likes of Juno winning drummer Skye Brooks, composer Tony Wilson and Canadian favourite Gordon Grdina.

For this performance, bass clarinetist Mike Allen and bassist Jazz Palley will join Lidstone.

Masz is an interdisciplinary new media musician and visual artist. By using prerecorded music and sounds, signal

THEATRE Jesus Christ Superstar Oct. 14 to Nov. 1 Kelowna Actors Studio 1379 Ellis St. This ground-breaking rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar tells the story of the last week of Christ’s life.

The zeal with which Christ’s followers are hailing him as the Son of God becomes a source of dismay to his disciple Judas Iscariot.

Fearing that this tide of religious fervour will provoke brutal repression by the occupying Romans, Judas must make his

fateful choice between faith and betrayal.

Jesus Christ Superstar was originally released as a rock album in 1970; it reached No. 1 on the Billboard chart in 1971 and was soon turned into a musical, which debuted on Broadway later that year.

“It’s timeless and for our time,” said Randy Leslie, artistic managing director. “That’s why we are setting it in modern times, capturing the social justice aspects of Christ’s teachings that are still relevant today.

He will be perform in Kelowna with his band, The Casual Smokers.

Since the release of his debut album, Caplan has played well over 1,000 shows in 18 different countries, on the road from eight to 10 months of each year.

Many bands don’t play that many gigs in their entire career. Why so much? “Because I wanted to get by playing music, and that’s the only way I can think of to do it,” Caplan explained.

“It’s either winning the lottery or working your ass off.”

For more than 62 years, Pathways Abilities Society has been an integral part of the fabric of our community. To celebrate Thanksgiving and Community Living Month, the society this year decided to give back to the community. Pathways volunteers delivered Apple Crisps prepared at its Franklyn Road location to both the Kelowna Gospel Mission and the Kelowna food bank in support of the Thanksgiving dinners put on by both organizations. Pathway volunteers Ken, Shane and Scott were joined by David from the food bank (above), while Mandy (right) with the Kelowna Gospel Mission helped unload the donations.

In partnership with

Boyd Autobody & Glass’s Community Reward Program has once again donated to the Girl Guides of Canada. This has been a community commitment from Boyd’s for more than five years and has raised more than $20,000. Earlier this month, Boyd purchased 600 boxes of Girl Guide cookies to support the youth group’s annual fundraising campaign. Above, Girl Guides Annika Neill, Olivia Withler, Katryna Shearer, Rachel Lane, Ellie Hamilton and Ava Adams are joined by Boyd’s staff members Ryan Wuthe, Tara Ferguson and Brian Petreny.

UPCOMING WORKSHOP

How preferences impact our choices Mark Holder will be the keynote speaker for a workshop called Happiness & Choices, hosted by the Okanagan chapter of the MS Society of Canada with the support of BrainTrust

Canada Association and the Kelowna law firm Doak Sherriff LLP. Often we think about how our preferences impact our choices, so this workshop will review research on how the

choices we make impact our preferences and how the availability of choices can impact our happiness.

It covers topics such as the science of laughter and optimism.

“The scientific study

of happiness is the study of what makes life worth living,” said Holder. “It identifies the choices we make in our lives that allow us to thrive and flourish” The workshop takes place Saturday, Oct. 24, 10 a.m. to noon, at the Ramada Hotel & Conference Centre, 2170 Harvey Ave. Admission is $5, and tickets can be purchased by calling the office of either the MS Society or BrainTrust Canada.

Holder earned his PhD at the University of California at Berkeley.

He then completed his postdoctoral training at the Brain Research Institute at UCLA where he conducted brain transplants to reverse impairments caused by brain injuries.

As a professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland, he studied how natural chemicals, 200 times the strength of heroin, were released when people ate chocolate chip cookies.

Holder is an award winning teacher and researcher with more than 70 publications including two recent academic books on wellbeing.

He is now an associate professor at UBCO Okanagan, where he studies the science of happiness.

news _____________________________________________________________________ SCHOLARSHIPS PROVIDED

Rachel Pavlakovic may have had the coolest summer job ever.

Pavlakovic, who wants to be a professional song writer and recording artist, was the official anthem singer at the Kelowna Falcons baseball games.

And while it may have been fun, she needed a few part-time jobs to raise funds for her first year at university.

Pavlakovic has just started classes and is working towards her Bachelor of Arts degree and majoring in English at UBC Okanagan.

Along with her singing job at the ball games, she also worked as an onfield sponsor host and also performed at local festivals and events.

But if it hadn’t been for the generosity of Rick and Yasmin Thorpe, Pavlakovic says she would have probably needed to work at several more summer jobs to get her through her first year.

Pavlakovic graduated from Mount Boucherie Secondary School in June, one of five schools in the South Okanagan where Grade 12 students can apply for the Rick

and Yasmin Thorpe and Friends Entrance Scholarship.

Thorpe and his wife Yasmin established the scholarships to help students from the region attend post-secondary school and follow their dreams.

“The cost of going to university is definitely daunting,” said Pavlakovic. “As a student, I don’t have a steady income or the resources to support myself while I attend post-secondary education.”

To date, the Thorpe family has contributed nearly $60,000 to student awards at UBC Okanagan.

“The Rick and Yasmin and Friends Thorpe Scholarship, has given me the option to study one of my passions, the English language,” said Pavlakovic.

“I am very thankful for the contribution and the investment the Thorpes have made in both my future, and the future of many other students throughout the years. They truly are very generous people.”

For Yasmin JohnThorpe, an author and

publisher, the scholarship is all about helping young people, like Pavlakovic, achieve their dreams.

“Meeting the recipients each year and hearing their enthusiasm about the future is gratifying,” she said.

“We wish each of this year’s recipient’s success in their studies and their careers.”

Adrienne Nolan, director of development at UBC Okanagan, says

awards like the annual Rick and Yasmin Thorpe and Friends Entrance Scholarship make a significant difference in the lives of the young students.

“We are grateful to the Thorpe family, whose generosity and passion for helping Okanagan students has created opportunities that will yield benefits long into the future,” said Nolan.

“So many donors have

been part of helping UBC Okanagan in our first 10 years.”

Rick Thorpe is happy to help remove financial roadblocks for young students and help them on their way to successful careers.

“We are committed to assisting students in our region attending UBC, and we wish each of these all the best as they pursue their dreams and studies,” he added.
