MP-DESIGNATE STEPHEN FUHR

Jumping right into new challenge Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

The man who knocked off three-term incumbent Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan in Monday’s federal election, realizes he has big shoes to fill.

Stephen Fuhr, who became the first Liberal elected in this area since 1968, paid tribute to his outgoing Conservative counterpart Wednesday, admitting Cannan did a good job representing his constituents for nine Vyears and he intends to

Stephen Fuhr

follow Cannan’s lead and make them his number one priority as MP. “Ron is a good guy, he was never the target (of my campaign),” said Fuhr.

Like Liberal candidates across the country, Fuhr

made Conservative leader Stephen Harper his target, laying unpopular Conservative government policies over the last nine years directly at the feet of the outgoing prime minister, who has been accused by many of being a control freak for the way he centralized power in the Prime Minister’s Office.

Fuhr acknowleged Cannan’s success in securing federal funding for many projects here and said he will also fight for funding for this area.

In doing so, he hopes

to work with re-elected Central OkanaganSimilkameen-Nicola Conservative MP Dan Albas.

“I don’t know Dan all that well, but I expect of all the area MPs, he is likely the one I will be working with the most,” said Fuhr.

The constituencies of both men include parts of the City of Kelowna.

The local Liberal MPdesignate said he expects the fact he will be part of a Liberal majority in the House of Commons will help his cause when he

goes looking for federal money for Kelowna-Lake Country.

During the campaign, Fuhr said he talked to local municipal leaders about their needs in terms of infrastructure funding but it was more of a “big picture” discussion.

Now he wants to drill down for specifics, so he can hit the ground running when he gets to Ottawa.

The Liberals have said they will run budget deficits for the first

Youth give Two more no-school days for parents mayor input over lunch

NEW SCHOOL CURRICULUM

Kevin Parnell

kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Parents of school children will be asked to take up the slack for what will be an additional two non-instructional days added to school calendars this year as educators are given time to learn a new provincial curriculum for kindergarten to Grade 12.

Over the next three years, B.C.’s new school curriculum will be introduced to students.

To get ready for the change, teachers in the Central Okanagan School District will have 10 hours of school time given to them to prepare this year and more in the next two years before full implementation.

“These are exciting times as we prepare to implement the new curriculum over the next three years,” said outgoing school superintendent Hugh Gloster in a letter home to parents in the Central Okanagan School District.

“There is significant work to be done by the educators

in B.C. to help prepare for this implementation.”

Among the work to be done is learning the new curriculum and how it will be taught in local schools.

According to Gloster, the revisions to the curriculum place an emphasis on students acquiring “core competencies” in the areas of communication, critical and creative thinking, personal awareness and social responsibility, designed to help them better prepare for their future.

Gloster added principals and vice-principals will be communicating with parents about adjustments to previously published local school calendars.

Central Okanagan school board chair Moyra Baxter said it will likely turn out to be two extra noninstructional days for teachers to begin to learn the new curriculum this year.

Baxter said she is concerned with the added pressure on parents but said it’s necessary for local educators to get up to speed

on the changes.

“I do have concerns that this will come unexpectedly but on the other hand this is an opportunity to make sure teachers can work together and learn about the new curriculum and I think it will benefit the students in the end,” she said.

••• The Central Okanagan School Board has sent a letter to the provincial government expressing concerns with a new system for recording information about students.

A new program called MyEducation BC was implemented over the summer months to keep student records and reports.

But staff in the Central Okanagan School District have been finding problems with the system and they aren’t alone.

School board chair Moyra Baxter said the ministry of education has acknowledged the new system has not been working well and the government is meeting with the developers to try and work out the

kinks.

But Baxter is concerned with extra costs in staff time to work through the problems.

“All this extra time we have to put in for clerical staff trying to put in information is a concern anytime you end up with extra costs in things like overtime,” said Baxter.

“We are paying for this service and it’s not serving us well at the moment and that’s unacceptable.”

••• The new superintendent of the Central Okanagan School District is now officially on the payroll and working as the top administrator in School District 23.

Kevin Kaardal was hired in the summer as a replacement for Hugh Gloster, who is retiring at the end of the year.

Kaardal has been in the district getting up to speed and his official first day on the job will be this Monday. @KP_media1

Kelowna General Hospital’s new $381 million Interior Heart and Surgical Centre may be up and running but the project that brought it about is not finished just yet.

The final part of the project—which produced the state-of-the-art, fourstorey facility built to house the province’s fifth cardiac surgery unit and the only one outside of the Lower Mainland and Victoria— will be a total renovation of the second floor of the adjoining Strathcona Building at KGH and the creation of the hospital’s new maternity unit on its fourth floor.

The second floor of the Strathcona Building, the former home of the

hospital’s oldest operating rooms, will be gutted to create space for cardiac inpatient care beds that will serve the new heart centre.

Intensive care cardiac patient beds are located in the new building. New, more modern and larger operating rooms were built in the in the IHSC building.

The IHSC and the Strathcona Building are connected to each other, with the two cardiac patient bed sections connected by a hallway through the adjoining section.

Work on the Strathcona Building, now the oldest building on the hospital grounds, is already underway, scheduled to be complete by 2017.

Last week, the heart centre was officially opened but it’s actually

been up and running since the end of September.

Since then, more than 350 surgeries have taken place there and 20 babies have been born there.

Once the entire IHSC project is complete, hospital officials say they expect around 600 heart surgeries per year will be conducted at KGH. “This (hospital) is now home to a health care facility which will serve the needs of patients of this region now and in the future,” said Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson during the building’s opening ceremony.

The fourth floor—not in the original plan for the IHSC— was paid for by the Central Okanagan Regional Hospital District as part of its $84.7 million

operating rooms, including two specifically equipped to handle heart surgeries, as well as a hybrid operating room—just the second of its kind in the province. Hybrid operating rooms are set up to handle several different types of surgery at the same time when complicated surgweries must be done.

Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran met with 12 students from Kelowna Secondary School for a ‘100 Dinners’ meeting on Wednesday.

The 100 Dinners initiative is part of the Vital Signs program, supported by the Central Okanagan Foundation.

The idea behind the 100 Dinners concept is to gather groups of people together around a meal to discuss what they like about their community, and what can be done to improve it.

Vital Signs coordinator Kimberly Carter explained they want to speak to as many diverse groups as possible.

So far those groups have included the KSS students, and a group of homeless clients at the Kelowna Gospel Mission.

The KSS meeting was the first Basran attended as a special guest.

“With this group of youth, we could have had this experience, but it gives more meaning when the mayor sits down at the table. That’s something that they will remember for 10 years, for 20 years,” Carter said.

“That someone of this stature paid attention to their voice. It’s extremely meaningful.”

Basran noted the opinions and insights of youth are often overlooked, and his appearance at the event was a step towards correcting that.

“It’s good to hear their perspective, and we know that attracting and retaining young people in our community is as important as it’s ever been,” Basran said.

“So we should be listening to our youth, because these are exactly the types of people we want staying in our community and helping to bring about innovative solutions to problems in our community. At the end of the day we want them to be engaged, because we want them to be here and for it to be an amazing place for them.”

The KSS meeting covered many different topics—student graduation rates, a sense of belonging to the community, mental health, transit, and teaching students about what voting means and why they should do it.

“I think that there’s sometimes an expectation from some people in our community that government is the answer to everything,” he said. “And that’s simply not possible. We don’t have all the answers as elected officials, and we need great community groups involved in finding solutions.”

Lining up a meeting is a simple process, as it can either be done through the Central Okanagan Foundation website or by emailing Carter at vitalsigns@centralokanaganfoundation. org.

City has no plan for rat outbreak

Anyone in Kelowna looking to the city to deal with the growing problem of rats is out of luck.

City hall says while it will send out information with tips to deal with the problem, residents and business owners are on their own when it comes to rat catching and eradication.

“Individual residents are responsible for their own rat control,” said Coun. Gail Given at Monday’s council meeting following a presentation by city staff about the problem.

The city plans to include information in business license renewals, to be sent out in the next few months.

Council was told rats depend on humans for their survival by eating human food that’s been thrown away. They are a particular problem downtown, in parts of Glenmore, Rutland and South Pandosy.

Staff said at this point control is the issue, rather than eradication, as rats in the city are here to stay because there are so many of them.

City hall says one way to help reduce the rat population is to make sure they can’t get into backyard composters.

This can be done by installing wire mesh in side each compost bin.

Issues for CN Rail corridor trail plan Kevin Parnell As development plans move ahead for the future of a 47 kilometre trail linking Kelowna, Lake Country and Vernon along the old CN Rail corridor, talks are still continuing with a pair of homeowners where the corridor passes through their properties.

Municipal councils in Kelowna and Lake Country have endorsed a new inter-jurisdictional development team to work towards development of a continuous trail between the communities along the CN corridor, which the group purchased for $22 million earlier this year.

But there remains a few sticking points as CN removes the final cars and then gets set to take out the rail ties and do some environmental remediation work over the next year or more.

That includes completing the talks with the property owners and finding a consensus out how the trail will continue through or near their property as well as figuring out how the Okanagan Indian Band will fit into the picture.

“We’re still working with the (two) property owners and things are moving in a positive direction,” said Doug Gilchrist, the director of community planning and real estate at the City of Kelowna, who added the OKIB will also be part of future planning.

“Our understanding is the lands within the OKIB reserve will transfer from CN to OKIB.”

CAPITAL NEWS FILE

kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Plans for the 47-kilometre CN Rail corridor trail between Kelowna and Vernon continue to progress.

Gilchrist said the group has invited the OKIB to be a part of the development team, but band chief Byron Louis said he has yet to receive such an invite.

Louis added there are many issues still to deal with, including the transfer of the lands within the OKIB reserve as well as cultural sites along the trail.

“There are a lot of historic sites along the way that were in essence fishing stations, so there are cultural sites that will need to be dealt with,” said Louis.

“The rail corridor never left reserve status. The only thing that was put on there was a right-ofway for the rail line, and now that that is no longer the purpose it reverts back to reserve land.”

The OKIB lost an injunction hearing in BC Supreme Court earlier this year, asking that the sale be stopped.

Louis said he wasn’t surprised by the ruling which dealt with what was known as the Commonage reserve, lands closer to Vernon.

In the meantime, as CN looks to begin the process of removing rail ties, municipal councils in each jurisdiction are being asked to approve the formation of an interjurisdictional development team with representatives from each area to plan and develop the initial improvements required to provide a continuous recreation trail between the three jurisdictions.

On June 1 of this year, Lake Country, Kelowna and NORD combined to purchase 47 kilometres of

the discontinued CN Rail corridor running through their jurisdictions, with the final piece of the puzzle being the successful referendum in Lake Country that allowed the district to borrow its share of the purchase price.

A report to Lake Country council from the inter-jurisdictional acquisition team, led by Kelowna, states that at this point there is no plan to develop a multi-modal regional transportation infrastructure within the corridor, but instead the plan is to move ahead and try to get a continuous trail in operation.

According to Gilchrist it will still likely be 2017 before any development on the corridor takes place as it will take CN Rail at least all of 2016 to remove rail ties and complete environmental remediation work.

The objectives of the development team are to: • ensure the corridor provides long term public benefits both locally and regionally • provide for the

development of a continuous corridor for non-motorized transportation and recreation • maintain the integrity and capability of the corridor to support the future development and operation of a continuous multi-modal transportation corridor • ensure the scope and timing of trail development reflects the capacity of the ownerjurisdictions to fund the development • encourage a high level of community engagement in the planning and development of the corridor • protect public safety and minimize risk in the development and use of the corridor • consider beneficial opportunities with adjacent lands • pursue grant funding from senior levels of government as well as donations from community groups, foundations, business and the general public. @KP_media1

Desire to expand car share idea Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com

OGO Car Share is beginning the process of expanding outside of Kelowna.

Executive director Christian Brandt recently made a presentation to West Kelowna council explaining the benefits of having Car Share in the community.

Brandt described Car Share as an alternative to owning a vehicle, as members have access to the booking schedule for Car Share’s fleet of cars. He noted being a Car Share member removes the overhead cost of owning a car, and members only have to pay when they are using it, unlike when a car they would own themselves is sitting idle 90 per cent of the time but still costing them money.

“On the environmental side, we see a behavioural shift when members become a Car Share member,” Brandt explained. “They increase their transit usage, bike usage, and their walking distance increases. So overall it’s kind of this behavioural change where people get out of their vehicles and stop using their vehicles.”

For every Car Share car, Brandt said about seven to 15 cars are taken off the streets. He noted it can also be a community asset, as it gives access to cars for people who can’t afford one on their own.

Since starting in August 2013, Car Share has grown from two cars and 35 members to seven cars and over 190 members in Kelowna. The cars are currently spread out over four locations in Kelowna, and Brandt noted they are looking at the feasibility of expanding into West Kelowna along with Penticton and Vernon.

“I think there was definitely some support and excitement about it,” Brandt said after his council meeting presentation. “Of course, there were some critical questions, which were mainly because of the lack of information or knowledge around how Car Sharing works. We’re still trying to educate people about the benefits and how the concept works. Overall I thought it was quite positive, the mayor had some really encouraging final words.”

New MP to be sworn in next month CHALLENGE FROM A1 three years to finance a $60-billion infrastructure spending program focused on green, social and transportation projects.

Fuhr held the first of those meetings Thursday with Kelowna’s Mayor Colin Basran.

Prior to the meeting, Basran said he intended to tell Fuhr the city’s top priorities remain water, transportation and housing. But he also wants to see the overall issue of infrastructure funding for municipalities addressed.

“We need a funding program that’s reliable, predicable and easy to access,” said the mayor.

But before he can go

Justin Trudeau—on the campaign trail when Trudeau released his party’s election platform policy on veterans.

Fuhr has been critical of the Conservatives, not only for how they have treated veterans but also for how they handled the plan to replace the aging F-18 fighter planes with newer, unproven the F-35s. The Liberals are expected to scrap the plan to buy F-35s.

Looking back on the campaign, Fuhr said he was proud of how it went, delighted to see it resonate with the public, especially young people who not only voted for him but also volunteered in large numbers on his campaign.

The Fuhr camp had said

to bat for municipalities in his riding and the surrounding area, Fuhr will have to set up his own political infrastructure first by opening Ottawa and constituency offices and hiring staff.

Fuhr is expected to be sworn in at the beginning of November.

As for his immediate future, the 47-year-old Fuhr said no offers have been made to him about a cabinet or parliamentary secretary position, but if asked he feels he could contribute most to defence, transportation or veterans’ affairs.

A former Canadian Air Force fighter pilot, Fuhr stood with his party leader—and now prime minister-designate

it needed to not only win support from those who had voted NDP and Green here in the past, he also would have to win over disaffected Conservatives to be successful.

“I haven’t seen (a breakdown) of the numbers yet, but I think we did that,” he said, adding the enormity of what he was able to do here had not quite sunk in yet.

In the election, Fuhr had 46.2 per cent of the vote to Cannan’s 39.8 per cent and won by about 4,100 votes.

In 2011, Cannan easily outdistanced his Liberal and NDP rivals, taking more than 50 per cent of the vote.

Just over 72 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots in the riding.

The chief of the Okanagan Indian Band says he’s taking a wait and see approach to the new Liberal government.

OKIB chief Byron Louis says there was very little progress for First Nations people in the last 10 years under Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s regime.

Perhaps the only steps forward came in the number of indigenous people that actually got out to vote in this week’s federal election, including Louis himself, who cast a ballot in his home riding for the first time ever.

“I’m 53 years old

and this was my first time voting in my home riding and seeing some of our members in their 70s voting was quite surprising,” said Louis.

“I was quite surprised who I saw in the polling station (on the OKIB reserve). If you can credit Harper with anything it is getting us out to vote.”

OKIB lands are split between the two ridings of KelownaLake Country, now represented by Liberal Stephen Fuhr, and North Okanagan-Shuswap with Conservative Mel Arnold.

Louis says they will request a meeting with Fuhr to discuss issues around the OKIB and

First Nations people and he hopes the issues his band and others have been fighting for will be more respected under the Liberal government.

Louis said his members, like many First Nations across the country, were motivated to vote for a change in government.

“I think in talking to people it was definitely a time for change,” said Louis.

“There hasn’t been much progress in the last 10 years and we’re hoping there is going to be change with this government and they live up to the commitments they have made.

“Promises are one thing, actions are another.

I think it’s incumbent for the Liberals to live up to the promises they have made.

“They have a majority and they can actually make those changes so we are going to have to see if they live up to them.”

Louis said the biggest issue for First Nations across the country is missing and murdered aboriginal women, something the Liberals have promised to look into with an official inquiry.

But the OKIB chief says it’s not the only issue facing First Nations.

“There are a lot of pressing issues,” he said, “most notably the missing and murdered aboriginal women. But there is also the need to look at regulatory reform especially how socioeconomic development should be a priority focus instead of just administering programs.

“Our Grand Chief Stewart Phillip has called it administering our poverty and that has to change.”

Top among local issues is the clean-up of OKIB reserve lands that in the past, dating back to before the World Wars, was used for training for

Soft financial landing for defeated Conservative MP Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

The outgoing KelownaLake Country MP will walk away from politics with more than a pat on the back and thanks for a job well done.

According to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, Ron Cannan will get a severance of $83,700 and an annual pension $46,632, up to a maximum of $2,348,810.

“Losing an election can be tough, but most MPs will have a soft financial landing,” said CTF federal director Aaron Wudrick.

“The good news is that thanks to the hard-fought pension reforms that take effect on Jan. 1, 2016, taxpayers will not have to shoulder as much of the burden in the future.”

For MPs who retired or were defeated on Monday, taxpayers contributed $17 for every $1 put into the plan by

an MP towards their own pension. After January 1, 2016, the ratio will gradually shift to a ratio of $1.60 in taxpayer contributions for every $1 put in by an MP or Senator.

Wudrick noted that eight former MPs will gather $100,000-plus a year in pension income including outgoing Conservative cabinet ministers John Duncan ($132,394), Peter MacKay ($117,746) and Bernard Valcourt ($116,987).

In terms of lifetime estimated benefits to age 90, 21 MPs are projected to collect more than $3 million, including MacKay ($5.9 million), Liberal Gerry Byrne ($5.2 million) and Conservative Rob Anders ($4.7 million).

“These pension changes are a welcome step towards broader public sector pension reform,” added Wudrick.

“We encourage the

“As far as we’re concerned we have a contract with the Department of National Defense that said they would clean up (the ordinances) once they were done with those sites,” said Louis. “This is a $200 million clean-up and they have been putting $1 million towards it each year. At this rate it would take 200 years to clean up and that’s unacceptable.”

Louis said there are two different areas of OKIB reserves that were used for training: 6,000 acres in the Goose Lake range west of Vernon and 2,000 acres near Round Lake. @KP_media1

Opinion

Good Samaritans step up when need is greatest To the editor: I am writing today to express my deep gratitude to a whole bunch of strangers that took the time to offer assistance in a motor vehicle accident on the Coquihalla near Brenda Mine on Thanksgiving Sunday.

LETTER OF THE WEEK My two-year-old daughter, Ruby, and I were travelling from Vancouver to Kelowna for Thanksgiving dinner when the vehicle I was operating lost control.

We flipped and rolled through the trees in terror and came to rest in the ditch.

Ruby stayed unbelievably calm and only showed a sign of distress when she saw that I was bleeding from the head.

After forcing my door open I attempted to navigate my way around to the passenger door to get Ruby out. I collapsed in the ditch before I could reach her and screamed in fear and shock. I saw

people running across from the opposite side of the highway and cars beginning to stop in aid.

An off duty firefighter was one of the first to reach us and did an amazing job of assessing the scene and coordinating the Samaritan rescue effort. He assured me that my daughter was OK and took a first look at my injuries. Thank you so much sir, for your organization under pressure. Before long an off duty doctor arrived and further tended to me.

There was no cellular service at the scene so somebody had to drive until they could contact 911.

A lady contacted my mother at my request and informed her with care.

I was informed that my daughter was freed from the wreck before long. She was being kept warm and calm in a nearby vehicle while we waited for emergency crews to reach us.

A lady kept her finger on my pulse and offered calming and gentle words. My arm was being supported in shifts. Somebody supported my neck manually.

Everybody remained so calm and

Mulroney should breathe sigh of relief The three happiest people in the country Oct. 20, were probably Justin Kathartic Trudeau, the Governor General and Brian Mulroney, says my favourite source for political information.

KATHY Trudeau, because he just pulled off MICHAELS a win that nobody expected.

The Governor General, because the unexpected win ensured that he wouldn’t have to wade into the fray, and sort out any problems that would have followed a minority government that nobody would support—you know, like calling another election Canadians would hate him for calling.

And Brian Mulroney, because he is no longer the most hated ex-prime minister in Canada.

Ah, Brian Mulroney.

It’s a name that’s been vilified for as long as I can remember, although my vague recollection of what happened in politics while I was a teenager isn’t nearly as searing as what Google offers.

My favourite result from searching for this country’s “most hated prime minister” came courtesy of noted Canadian historian J.L. Granatstein.

He said Mulroney “was seen as a Gucci-shod

glad-hander in bed with the Yankees, the man who failed so dismally in his constitutional gambits and left office so hated by the Canadian public that it promptly destroyed his party.”

Ouch. I can’t imagine what’s in store for Harper.

The man who embraced ugly, divisive, lie-laden Amercian-style campaigning like no other before him was taken out this election, as Canadians took his cue and ran him through with it. In the end I was even a bit rattled by the bloodlust shown by friends and family.

I mean, I understood it. But, like you understand why the cheetah has to tear apart the antelope, you don’t enjoy watching.

Harper went down in an inglorious blaze of helmet-hair memes, vilifying news features from across the globe and even a few cringe-making moments of musical malfeasance caught on video.

Until the last moments of this election, I wasn’t even aware of his band the Van Cats and I deeply wish it could have remained that way.

All of them were aimed at pointing out, simply,

that Stephen Harper is a bad man. He hates Mother Nature, has no tolerance for ethnic minorities and wants to make Canada into a paranoid police state.

Whether it’s true or not can be debated in history books, but there could not be a more damning depiction of the leader of a democratic nation and he was crushed under the weight of those criticisms, taking along with him his party.

There is no doubt in my mind that Ron Cannan’s local loss was collateral damage. He’ll be fine. In addition to a swish pension for nine years of work, he’s walking away from political life well-liked and well-respected for being a decent, hard working MP who chose the wrong team.

But, Harper? If the writing on my Facebook wall is true, short of starting a cult, I can’t see what his future career options are. Nor do I really care.

What I do care about, however, is that he and all politicians who follow take a cue from what happened this election. That whole “you reap what you sow” thing isn’t just an adage to spew thoughtlessly.

Canadians deserve better. Whether it’s with policy or campaigning we deserve to be dealt with honestly and that’s what the crimson wave across this country was about above all else.

Letters CANADA POST

CONCERNED CITIZEN

Commemorate Only Trudeau can retain door-to-door post delivery past mayors To the editor: On October 19th we witnessed the historic election of Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party to form a majority government for Canada.

Mr Trudeau made many promises during the campaign, some however, are more time sensitive than others.

In an open letter to Canada’s civil servants on Sept. 25, Mr Trudeau wrote “we will also stop the Harper Conservatives’ plan to end door-to-door mail delivery and ensure

Canadians receive the postal service on which they rely”.

As you read this letter communities across Canada are being stripped of this essential service, with Kelowna scheduled to lose mail service in June. Only intervention by the Prime Minister designate can end these cuts.

Campaign promises can be slippery things, but this is one promise that needs to be delivered express.

David Klappe, West Kelowna

Open letter to prime minister-delegate Dear Justin: First congratulations on running a clean election—no smut to the others. No fear mongering either.

Try to do an honest job. Dare to be different: I would dare you to hire Tom Mulcair and Elizabeth May for your postings

Please let the F-35s go—we don’t need them. Anyone but Harper was good for me.

Thanks.

Thanks to Ron Cannan Dear Ron: On behalf of the Amalgamated Transit Union local 1722, I wish to thank you for your many years of service and dedication to our community.

Your focus on the many concerns of our ridership (in particular seniors, students, people with special needs), has always been well respected and appreciated among my membership. You have always been a friend to Transit and we hope that spirit will continue in your absence.

When we met in Ottawa to address the

assaults on bus drivers through legislation, you were ‘on board’ to help make a difference—now there is a law to reflect that and I am proud to say in perpetuity you were a positive part of that process. Thank you Ron. I am not sure what your plans are going forward or where you will end up, but I do know whatever it is you will be very successful and they will be very lucky to have you.

Elaine McCrea What’s he supposead to do, Ryan—not accept democracy? Why does accepting democracy make him “honourable”?

As for being honourable, when did Cannan ever distinguish himself from Harper? He voted yes to every single piece of dubious or destructive legislation the Conservatives ever put forward. He’s as responsible as anyone for undemocratic omnibus bills, diminished civil rights, the invention of second-class citizenship, the ruin of environmental protections, the pillage of scientific libraries— the entire litany of Conservative abuse of power. As such, he deserves the backlash as much as Harper.

To the editor: I had the pleasure of chatting with a spunky 91-year-old the other day. She told a few stories of Kelowna “in the old days” and mentioned that her dad was the mayor when the Okanagan Bridge was opened (1958). His name was Mr. Hughes-Games.

Although born in Kelowna, I had to admit I was not familiar with his name.

An idea: In Stuart Park, a park we named after one of our mayors, could we do small plaques for each mayor who has helped shape our city since 1905? Would there be room to mention one or two of each mayor’s accomplishments during their term in office?

It would be an interesting addition to our city’s history.

Susan Wort, Kelowna

Good Samaritans SAMARITANS FROM A10 reassured me that we were going to be OK. People continued to stop and offer blankets and assistance. Even though emergency had not yet arrived this group of amazing strangers had us calmed, stabilized and in relative comfort.

I wouldn’t have ever imagined that random group of bypassers could be so effective in aiding our trauma. You are all so amazing and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Further thanks to Const. Zimmerman of the RCMP and the ambulatory transport crews that got us to Kelowna General where family was waiting.

Thanks to the emergency room staff that scanned Ruby’s body for signs of injury.

Against all odds she suffered only slight bruising from her restraints. Thanks to the surgeon, nurses and staff of KGH for quickly mending me.

I will always be touched, especially by the group of strangers who gathered to help us out of a bad situation on Thanksgiving Sunday.

On behalf of myself and all of our family, thank you all so very much.

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

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

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

DR. RYAN HARRIS

Therapy, the only therapy I found to get rid of my pain and heal my injury.

Shockwave, developed to break up kidney stones, can break down scar tissue and stimulate new blood vessel growth, promoting proper muscle function and restarting the healing process.

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

Glenmore Chiropractic

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

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

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

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

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

attendance.

That enthusiasm is the main intent of the festival, as it isn’t just about watching grassroots films about paddling, mountaineering, ice climbing and mountain biking.

The films are about ordinary people doing extraordinary things by following their passions.

They not only inspire people to pursue their own interests, but also show off the beauty of the landscapes.

“At the end of the day, we want to provide a format for people to dream,” Urness said.

“This is a very grassroots festival, so what that means is ordinary people doing extraordinary things.”

The films often show that high adrenaline activities aren’t just for the elite, but for everyone.

Additionally, Urness described the festival as not just for people pursuing high-energy activities, but for people at all stages of life.

The festival will also have artwork and representations on culture.

Image from a movie showing at the Best of the Vancouver International Mountain Film Fest, being held in Kelowna Saturday.

The films will start at 7 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 24, at the Kelowna Community Theatre.

Many of the tickets have already sold, and

Urness said they have failed to sell out only two or three times in 15 years.

Tickets can be found at Fresh Air Experience, Fresh Air

news __________________________ BUMBERSHOOT THEATRE

Kelowna hotel wants to put youth in the spotlight The Best Western Kelowna Hotel has partnered with Bumbershoot Theatre’s art programs to make them more accessible to youth.

The Best Western Kelowna will provide an education benefactor sponsorship, aimed at giving the city’s youth a chance to shine on stage and learn valuable life skills.

The funding will support an array of programs, making them more viable for children from low-income families, and other youth in need.

“I am a firm believer that exposing kids to theatre is a great avenue for kids with low self-esteem, and research has proven the arts can boost a child’s selfesteem,” said Brenda Rayburn, director of sales and marketing for the Kelowna hotel.

“For kids who already are showing a flare for the theatre, it continues to assist them in development. In both cases, the result tends to be confident children who become leaders.”

Part of Bumbershoot’s mandate is to promote theatre as an integral part of the learning process for children and youth.

Many members are in their pre-teen and teenage years, and placing them in a positive environment where they can learn about themselves and what they’re capable of will prepare them for adulthood.

“They’re really critical years,” said Bumbershoot Theater artistic director Tracy Ross.

“It’s really amazing to watch them because they’re such capable, strong young people. You just see them and you have hope for what they’ll be able

to create in the world.”

Bumbershoot, which offers programming for kids starting at age two, strives to make its programming affordable so all kids have the opportunity to experience theatre.

“The support of the community is what makes it possible for us to do what we do here,”added Ross.

“My gratitude is immense. It makes a huge difference to have these businesses come in and form partnerships.”

For the Best Western Kelowna sponsorship in particular, Ross adds: “It’s great timing. It sets us up for our new season.”

Bumbershoot Theatre’s upcoming productions include: Beauty and the Beast (Oct. 22-25 and Oct. 29-Nov. 1) and Nancy Drew (Nov. 19-22 and Nov. 26-29).

Rayburn says exposing children to the arts at on a grassroots level establishes an essential learning foundation from which they can build. “(It’s) all part of building healthy kids and a healthy community,” said Rayburn, who directs a number of environmental and community engagement initiatives for the hotel, including sponsoring the Civic & Community Awards Gala’s Champion for the Environment Award.

“I am very excited about this sponsorship journey with Bumbershoot Theatre.”

Bumbershoot students learn more than just acting skills. There are many offstage roles to be done to stage a production, and participants are encouraged to try them all, including administration, trades and marketing.

CITY OF KELOWNA

Stairwell for Survey seeks opinion on dog clubhouse park expansion earns awards The City of Kelowna wants to know if its residents want more dogs parks and, in particular, more dog beaches.

City council has given the green light to staff to conduct a survey that it hopes will once and for all give definitive direction about recreational areas for dogs.

The survey will be conducted early next year with a report back to council slated for the spring of 2016 and follow-up public sessions.

The survey will cost $7,500.

But at least one councillor says there’s no need to ask the public again what it wants.

Charlie Hodge, who in the past has sat on the Central Okanagan’s dog committee, said the public has made it clear—it wants more beach access for dogs.

And he said they want it now.

Currently the only official dog beach in the city is at Cedar Park, at the south end of town. But it also doubles as the unofficial local nudist beach.

Hodge suggested the city pick a location, brace for an outcry from the public, weather the storm of protest and try it out as the only way to cut through what he said will be opposition from neighbours no matter where a dog beach is located.

Two firms behind the design and construction of the new Kelowna Yacht Club clubhouse have received special recognition.

The elegant wood stairwell in the centre of the clubhouse was designed by Meiklejohn Architects of Kelowna, which was honoured as top architect for the province for the project, receiving the 2015 Jack Sigurdson Award.

Top 40 Woodworks from Kamloops which did the millwork, received the 2015 Gold Award in the small commercial category.

“It’s an honour to take a concept and bring it to fruition and in this case

the result it is indeed a piece of art,” said Top 40 Woodworks owner Jack Mendes.

“We’ve done this for a long time and once in a while you get an opportunity to really showcase what your capacity is as a team.

“We’re taking a lot of pride in this project.”

Meiklejohn Architects feels the honour is well delivered by Top 40 Woodworks, applauding the firm for their commitment to excellence and for going above and beyond for a project that architect Jim Meiklejohn describes as “hard to design, hard to construct and one that became a labour of love.”

“It’s rare to see a trade take something and make it better than the design team envisions— all for the betterment of the club,” added project architect Stoke Tonne. “ “The stairwell is really the signature of the building on the inside and creates that wow factor for the public and the members that come into the building.”

“The team succeeded in creating the wow factor,” added project manager Gord Sandrin, with Sawchuk Developments, lead

Basran said he hopes to see the program return here for an unprecedented third year in 2017.

This year, ArtsVest was responsible for raising more than $700,000 in sponsorship funding for local arts organizations.

On the morning of Halloween day Oct. 31, Kelowna children can receive a treat far more valuable than a candy kiss or candy apple. And they don’t have to go door-to-door or dress up as ghost or superhero.

Kelowna’s Bicycles for Humanity has had so many children’s bikes given to them, for now the fourth time this year the group is handing them out free to local residents.

Sports BCFC FOOTBALL

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Last October, the Okanagan Sun was poised to end a decadelong B.C. Football Conference title drought.

But the Langley Rams spoiled the party.

Twelve months later, the Sun has a chance to make amends when they host the Vancouver Island Raiders Sunday in the 2015 Cullen Cup final.

“The kids didn’t forget what happened, that doesn’t go away,” head coach Shane Beatty said of last year’s 23-19 loss to the Rams at the Apple Bowl.

“They’ve been really tuned in for the last three or four weeks. The closer they get to the end goal, the more determined they’ve become.

“They know what’s at stake.”

Quarterback Cam Bedore is one of 18 players who will graduate from the Sun program at the end of the season.

With last year’s setback in the final representing the low point of his Sun career to date, the 22-year-old pivot is hoping this Sunday’s game will produce the opposite effect.

“It was a devastating loss (to Langley), something we don’t want to repeat,” Bedore said.

“To have been so close and have it taken away, that’s something we don’t want to feel again.

“The guys are as ready as they can be. This is

something we all really want.”

For Bedore and his fellow grads, it also marks their final games at the friendly and familiar surroundings at the Apple Bowl.

“It’s been a pretty good ride the last four years,” said Bedore. “It’s going to be a pretty emotional day, win or lose…playing for the last time in the brown jersey.

“I know we’ve all been counting this day down, so we all want to make the most of it and make sure it’s a memorable day.”

Beatty said to a man, every graduating Sun player has made a key contribution to the team, in one way or another.

The head coach would like to see every one of them rewarded this weekend.

“Those guys busted their butts, guys like (Kyle) Patchell, (Thomas) Huber, (Wes) Geisler, (Brennan) Van Nisterlooy, (Cam) Bedore…all of them.

“They’ve given their all and have meant a lot to the organization. It would be nice to see them go out on top.”

As for the prospects of claiming the club’s first BCFC title since 2004, Beatty said it would be a significant achievement for the Sun organization, from top to bottom.

“Obviously, it would mean a lot to end an 11year drought, for the players and coaches and the entire organization.

It’s time to go out there

A trip to the Canadian Bowl is on the line when Cole Brydges and the Okanagan Sun battle Vancouver Island Raiders Sunday in the BCFC final. and perform and get this team back to where it’s supposed to be.”

Still, as much as the Sun’s goal right from the start has been making it to the Canadian Bowl, Bedore said his club—as it has all season—won’t be looking past its next challenge.

“The Raiders are a good football team,” Bedore said. “Every week, our goal has been to go 1-0. What happens after that, we can’t look at that. We can only do what we can do this week and prepare the best we

can.”

Kick off Sunday at the Apple Bowl between the Sun and Raiders is 1 p.m.

The winner will travel east to play the Prairie Football Conference champion in the Canadian Bowl the weekend of Nov. 8 and 9.

The PFC final this Sunday features the Calgary Colts in Saskatoon to play the Hilltops.

SUN PLAYERS HONOURED…

Sun teammates Kyle Kawamoto and Thomas Huber have earned

BCFC player of the week awards.

The 22-year-old Kawamoto is the offensive player of the week after making seven catches for 198 yards and three touchdowns in the Sun’s 75-7 win over Kamloops last Sunday in the BCFC semifinal.

Huber won the special teams player award for the fourth time this season. He was 2-for2 in field goals, a perfect 10-for-10 in converts and kicked off 11 times averaging 49.6 yards.

Kyle Patchell hasn’t been getting cheated in his final games in an Okanagan Sun uniform.

The fifth-year, homegrown receiver has put together backto-back performances that have earned the graduating player a permanent place in the club’s history books.

Patchell, 22, set a new all-time Sun record on Oct. 3 in Kamloops with 11 catches against the Broncos, breaking the single-game mark of 10 receptions set by Jeremy White in 1999 and Aaron David in 2000.

Two weeks later in the BCFC semifinal against Kamloops, Patchell went back to work, equalling his own standard with 11 catches for 176 yards and three touchdowns.

“Really this whole season has been a high for my career, and to be able to have a couple of solid games at the end is pretty nice,” said Patchell, a KSS grad. “But most important is getting a big

To think I’ve been with (the Sun) for five years, it’s crazy to think it’s coming to an end already.”

Kyle Patchell team win (over Kamloops) to get us into the final.”

Patchell, who grew up in Kelowna and played football at every level prior the Sun, expects his last game at the Apple Bowl will be a special and memorable event.

“It means a lot,” Patchell said. “I grew up playing football (in Kelowna) all the way through high school and always watched the Sun at the Apple Bowl with my dad and brother.

“To think I’ve been with (the Sun) for five years, it’s crazy to think it’s coming to an end already.

It’s nice to be able to play the (BCFC final) here with a chance to celebrate a championship.” @capnewsports.ca

Rockets open home stand vs PG Cougars Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Brad Ralph called last Saturday night’s 6-2 victory in Prince George his team’s best effort of the Western Hockey League season.

The Kelowna bench boss is hoping the momentum will carry over into the Rockets’ four-game home stand beginning tonight against the same Cougars.

Face off at Prospera Place is 7:05 p.m.

With a new coach, a number of new faces lineup and a young defensive corps still finding its rhythm, the Rockets (7-4-0-0) have had their share ups and downs through the first 11 games of the campaign.

But Ralph is seeing signs of a more consistent Kelowna team emerging.

“I thought we were motivated and worked hard to a man,” Ralph said of Saturday’s win.

“We played with internal

drive and if we keep doing that we’re going to have success.

“Our game is coming along, we’re getting there.”

After spending much of the early part of the season travelling— with eight of their first 11 games were on the road—the Rockets will settle into Prospera Place now until the end of the month.

Ralph said being at home for a long stretch comes with a number of

perks.

“It’s a good opportunity for us to take advantage of the schedule and make good use of this time we have at home,” he said. “You’ve got the conveniences of video at home, the resources at your own rink, and some

valuable practise time.

“At the end of the day, you still have to make sure you’re playing the right way and win your games at home.

Our game has been transitioning to a better place, so hopefully we can keep it going.”

Following tonight’s

meeting with the Cougars, Kelowna will host the Calgary Hitmen on Saturday, Prince George again on Oct. 30 and the Lethbridge Hurricanes on Halloween night.

Meanwhile, Rockets centre Rourke Chartier remains sidelined on a

day-to-day basis with an upper body injury.

Both Charter and Nick Merkley were named this week to Team WHL for the CHL Canada Russia Series. The first game of the series is Monday, Nov. 9 in Kelowna.

Warriors visit Vipers tonight The West Kelowna Warriors look to get back in win column Friday when they visit the division rival Vernon Vipers tonight in BCHL action.

Fade off at Kal Tire Place is 7 p.m.

The Warriors (7-5-0-2) are coming off a 4-2 loss to Penticton Wednesday night at the South Okanagan Events Centre.

West Kelowna is now 0-3 against the Vees this season, who jumped out to a 3-0 lead then held off the Warriors for their 13th win of the young season.

The Warriors had a pair of power plays early in the game including 43 seconds 5-on-3 but were unable to score.

West Kelowna outshot the Vees 35-32, including 12-6 in the third period but Vees netminder Zach Driscoll was up the challenge.

Kelowna’s Lucas Hickling is training with the Vancouver Whitecaps development program.

Whitecaps FC partnered with TOFC to benefit soccer development in the region.

Whitecaps FC Okanagan Academy head coach David Broadhurst is thrilled to see both Hickling, a striker, and Bohmer, a goalkeeper, train in the club’s pro environment.

“Lucas has been in the Okanagan Academy for three years, and Isaac for two years,” said Broadhurst. “Both players display the qualities that we look for. They have fantastic attitudes, great work ethics, they listen and learn, and they have a drive to take their

games to the next level.”

Both players have also stood out with their playing abilities.

“Lucas is an attacking player who is having a very good season in the BCSPL,” added Broadhurst. “Isaac stands out during training and puts in consistently strong performances for TOFC. Through this partnership between Whitecaps FC and TOFC, we are very pleased to provide these opportunities.”

A pair of Okanagan soccer players have been getting a taste the next level of soccer this week with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC PreResidency program.

Kelowna’s Lucas Hickling and Okanagan Falls’ Isaac Bohmer, both born in 2001, are in Vancouver to train with the club’s full-time professional development team.

The two players are in the Whitecaps FC Okanagan Academy and play their club soccer with Thompson Okanagan FC in the BC Soccer Premier League (BCSPL).

A celebration of all gloriously geeky entertainment, ranging from comics to cosplay, was embraced by Okanagan residents last weekend.

The Kelowna Entertainment Expo was held at the Capital News Centre, and hundreds attended the event which featured alumni from StarTrek Voyager, a familiar voice from the cartoon world and a fictional dwarf, not to mention oodles of comic book and art vendors, collectibles and action figures.

The event was brought to the city by Lethbridge, Alberta-based company Monkey Bone Productions.

“It’s a great place to hold an event like this,” said April June Hudson, one of the organizers.

last weekend’s—the organizers’ intend to make it an annual occasion—event means Kelowna has two opportunities for area residents to get their nerd on.

Vendors and attendees alike said it’s great news.

“I love conventions where you get a chance to geek out,” said Melissa Sekela, who goes by the name missy art and cosplay.

Albertan, Sekela sells prints of herself in various costumes, and that funds her appetite for more costumes.

She was dressed up as a gender bending Han Solo Saturday, while her partner Zack Crawford was a hirsute Princess Leia.

The size of the weekend expo was the real stand-out, as it allowed her to participate and speak to some famous figures in sci fi and fantasy.

Pirates of the Caribbean star Lee Arenburg, Futurama voice actor Billy West, Garrett Wang from Star Trek: Voyager and others were there speaking with fans, and taking questions.

When it was Arenburg’s turn to sit in a panel and have his brain picked a little bit, he told fans what it was like to find success, and the pitfalls of that journey.

While he’s currently a regular on the ABC program, Once Upon a Time, Arenburg said that he wasn’t always finding success in acting and the pressure it puts on an ego can be debilitating.

It’s also a very needy business, which is why he attends fan expos of all sizes.

Acting, he said, is the only art form where, “if someone’s not watching, you’re actually not doing it,” he said.

“If I’m working on lines alone I’m either crazy or on a Bluetooth. So, I need you and I respect you.

By respecting you, I’m respecting myself.”

The next chance to take part in cosplay and the like is March 19, 2016, with the Kelowna fan expo.

COMPLETE HEALTH IMPROVEMENT

Have your say Turn your unhealthy lifestyle around on city’s public art Beverley Edwards-Haines Contributor

Kelowna is home to more than 60 pieces of public art.

Some are iconic pieces like Bear in Stuart Park and Ogopogo in Kerry Park that attract visitors from around the world, but even some of the lesser known pieces help to foster a sense of place and an emotional attachment to Kelowna’s urban environment.

The City of Kelowna is putting out a call to volunteers interested in helping identify future priorities for Kelowna’s Public Art Program.

Approximately 40 participants will have an opportunity to participate in a community discussion on Wednesday, Nov. 4, from 7 to 9 p.m.

“The purpose of the Public Art Program is to help create culturally-enriched public spaces,” said Patrick McCormick, the city staff member who administers the program.

“Our last public input was in 2011 when we discussed community perspectives on what constitutes excellence for public art in our city.

“At this point, we want to do a check to make sure we’re heading in the right direction and to see if there are ways to better achieve program goals.

“This will help inform the next three years of the program.”

To sign up for the community discussion, email pmccormick@kelowna.ca by end of day Oct. 26 with your contact information.

Names will be drawn by lottery as there’s limited seating. Selected participants will be contacted by Oct. 28.

Residents are also encouraged to provide input through the online engagement tool at getinvolved. kelowna.ca from Thursday, Nov. 5, to Friday, Nov. 27.

Online participants will be able to give their thoughts on public art priorities and comment on the outcomes from the community discussion.

Over the past years, we’ve all witnessed society’s burgeoning interest in health matters.

People want to learn how to take care of themselves in order to live longer, healthier lives.

It can be difficult, though, with the barrage of information and misinformation that bombards us on a daily basis.

The average person who tries to decipher fact from fiction is often frustrated in the attempt.

Thrilling medical breakthroughs are occurring every day. It seems, our health-care systems are the most advanced in the world, and yet, despite the enormous amount of dollars we spend on health care, we here in North America are among the most unhealthy people on the planet.

Who among us does not know of someone, be it ourselves, a family member, good friend, or co-worker who is not afflicted with some

debilitating illness?

Indeed, the statistics show that health conditions such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, high cholesterol, and more are preying on us at an astonishing rate.

Even when we think we’re doing all the right things to preserve our health, we can be surprised with a dire prognosis.

Pharmaceuticals only go so far; they manage, but do not cure our conditions. And, they come with a myriad of undesirable side effects.

Is there hope for our increasingly sick society?

Yes. In the midst of our health-care woes, people around the globe are reversing their chronic diseases naturally and simply.

And, they’re doing it not with special diets and pills, but by changing their lifestyle for good.

Hippocrates was on to something when he famously quipped, “Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food.”

Solid advice that still rings true.

When it comes to food, health organizations around the world are touting the fantastic health benefits of a plantbased way of eating.

We’ve got all the medical research that points us in a plant-strong direction.

More doctors are beginning to prescribe delicious plant-based food for their patients.

We’re learning more about the importance of keeping our bodies moving, managing stress, enjoying sunshine and nature, drinking more water, getting enough sleep, and nurturing positive relationships.

All the things that make up a well-balanced way of living. And, incidentally, all the things that CHIP (Complete Health Improvement Program) endorses and teaches.

There’s nothing more powerful for our wellbeing than to educate ourselves on how to live healthfully.

Story after story of restored health proves this to be true. In particular, stories of decrease—

decreased blood glucose levels, cholesterol levels, weight and medications.

Stories like the man who, at the end of a CHIP program, was so emotional because he could see his toes again and lace up his own shoes.

Or the woman who went from over 20 medications daily to less than five.

Or the man whose angina pains stopped within days of starting a CHIP program.

Or one of the bestknown stories: The man who rode over 3,000 miles from Creston to Ottawa in 60 days, at age 69, someone who previously had to drive the 200 yards to get his mail from the mailbox at the end of his driveway.

And all this was after

taking a CHIP program and losing weight, a cigarette habit and a bunch of meds.

So, what’s your story?

What ailments do you put up with that you could quite possibly be free of?

Learning how to adjust your lifestyle to empower and enable your body to start the healing process is the best gift you can give yourself and your family.

Be your own best medicine and join in the excitement of attending Kelowna’s CHIP program this November.

Attend one of the free information sessions on Oct. 25 or 27, 7 p.m., at the Kelowna Lifestyle Centre, 1130 Springfield Rd. Your body will thank you.

Strap on your helmet for a bumpy ride ahead Like many Canadians, I am still somewhat giddy and attempting to comprehend the sweeping political changes in our vast country.

What a difference one day can truly make.

Few political pundits, despite what they say, fully anticipated such a huge adjustment to the political puzzle.

Certainly, few folks predicted the entire East

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE Coast would vote Liberal or the massive collapse of the New Democratic Party.

Even fewer pundits foresaw the giant popularity shift that impacted historically

predictable communities such as Kelowna.

For Ron Cannan and other dethroned MPs, the sweeping protest dump of Conservative leader Stephen Harper must feel like a harsh unanticipated slap in the face, even despite the obvious knowledge that many voters were disgruntled.

Make no errors in analysis, the demise of the federal Conservative party Monday was nothing more than a public political execution of Harper himself and not so much an attack on his faithful teammates.

Regardless, a kick to the curb hurts no matter the reason. Believe me, because I do know.

of which were selfinflicted because, quite simply, he lost the trust of Canadians.

It seems he forgot his roots. Harper forgot that honesty, hard work, and a willingness to listen and learn is what Canadians desire from those they elect to lead this country.

Clear across the land there is much celebration for the victors, yet a sense of sorrow for some of those who have been cast aside in the sweeping change.

In Kelowna, it is the faithful Mr. Cannan who must now contemplate what to do and where to go in his suddenly altered life.

Cannan has served our community faithfully and passionately for more than a decade and I can truly say has always done us proud.

He has long been my friend and one whom I respect both inside and outside of politics.

He is a good man, a community leader, and one whose handshake is true and his heart solid.

So while there is a sense of glee across the country of which I

definitely welcome and share in, there is a part of me that is tugged firmly by the knowledge that a friend of mine has been the victim to that public personality parade. A willing victim yes, but still a victim nonetheless.

I am sure Ron recognizes his departure has little to do with himself as much as it did with a total frustration and disdain for the wrongs perpetrated by his boss.

However, such knowledge does not take away the feeling of being let down, turned upon, or non-personal.

Friends and family will assure him he is a fine person and not to take the election personally, but take my word for it— one can’t help accept such results as a personal issue.

Almost immediately, the phone calls will end, the invitations to everything will disappear and, for all intent and purpose, those hard working caring defeated political sorts across this land will feel forgotten.

And they largely are.

That is the harsh reality

of playing in the game of politics where your memory barely lasts a lunch hour after being defeated at the polls.

It is a sad reminder that politics, like life, is not always fun or fair.

Still, for the rest of Canada optimism now reigns and rightfully so.

If nothing else, this election has invigorated our country again. I have not seen Canada this excited or motivated since the election of Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

Right or wrong, wished or not, Justin Trudeau will forever be linked to his dynamic and sometimes larger-than-life father.

How that is altered in the near future will be up to Justin to decide.

There is also no question that Justin Trudeau has earned his own place at the table, and that he will make his own indelible mark upon our homes and this land over the next four years.

He is more than aware, more so than ourselves, to the reality that the entire nation will be watching his every move for quite a while.

Not only has he caught our attention and our fascination, he has also caught our hesitation.

Neither is he naive or dumb.

Justin Trudeau and the Liberals won a remarkable victory Monday and he did it to some degree because of hard work and thoughtful planning by himself and his party supporters.

Precisely how effective his plans and goals will be only time will tell.

Hopefully the relatively young leader filled with apparent integrity, energy, and positive thinking will not fail in his effort to repair the damage and lack of trust for government that has been set before the public the past few years.

There is no question that Canadians were ready for a positive change, a step back to the future so to speak.

Justin Trudeau may very well be that breath of fresh, clean air the country has longed for in Ottawa for a long time.

Health forum promotes need for accountable lifestyle

Two nutrition and lifestyle keynote speakers will highlight an upcoming health forum planned for Lake Country and Penticton next week.

The guest speakers will be Hans Diehl, a clinical professor of preventive medicine from Loma Linda University, Cal., Brenda Davis, lead dietitian in a diabetes research project in Majuro, Marshall Islands.

Davis and Diehl are on the council of directors for the Glimmer Initiative, a global coalition of 250 of the world’s leading authorities on nutrition and lifestyle medicine mobilizing to effect reform in health care.

The health forum tour in B.C. will make stops in the Okanagan on Monday, Oct. 26, in Lake Country at the Creekside Theatre, 5:30 p.m.; and in Penticton on Tuesday, Oct. 27, also at 5:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10/person available at Choices Markets and Nature’s Fare stores in Kelowna.

Diehl and Davis will counter the argument that government needs to invest more money into

the health care system.

They say until our governments recognize and target the root causes of chronic diseases— which comprise 70 per cent of deaths—more funds alone won’t make Canadians healthier.

The Canadian healthcare system, they say, knows how to manage symptoms. Health-care professionals recognize the value of lifestyle changes like diet and exercise.

But they haven’t fully committed to it as a treatment option, that lifestyle medicine must be the first line of therapy for lifestyle-induced chronic diseases.

The mainstream approach to chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes,

hypertension and cancer doesn’t adequately address lifestyle causes.

Diehl founded CHIP (Complete Health Improvement Program).

CHIP, which has a Kelowna branch, boasts 70,000 graduates worldwide and dramatic drops in cholesterol, blood glucose levels and blood pressure.

“Tragically we have shifted our food supply from slow food to fast food, from potatoes to potato chips, from corn to corn chips, from beans to burgers, from oats to Oreos, from water to soft drinks,” Diehl said.

Personal responsibility, Diehl said, is the key to good health, not access to cheaper prescription drugs.

Guest speaker on restorative justice The Bridges to New Life Society will present guest speaker Rev. Ray Parker, a former prison chaplain, who will speak about restorative justice.

Parker’s presentation will take Saturday, Nov. 7, 5:30 p.m., at the

Evangel Church in Kelowna, 3261 Gordon Dr. Tickets are $20/person. For more information contact Bridges to New Life, 1197 Sutherland Ave., at 1-888-4486975.

Build up your garden soil What a delight to be out in the garden on a sunny autumn day.

Fall colours are uplifting. The birds are singing.

Many projects can be done now that will reduce spring gardening tasks.

We seldom think about building up the soil. The better garden soil is, the healthier plants will be.

If you have turf, this is a perfect time to build up the soil and improve your grass by mulching it, a process that mimics Mother Nature.

Mulch also builds up water holding capacity of soil, reducing irrigation needs.

Simply spread a layer of compost one half to one inch deep over your lawn.

Use your own compost or something like Nature’s Gold, Classic Compost, or Glengrow.

This adds billions of soil microbes that will break down the mulch to release nutrients so they’ll be available to feed your lawn next year when it begins growing again.

Good compost will supply all the nutrients a lawn needs to grow at a steady rate through the season.

During the growing season chemical fertilizers, high in nitrogen, cause a fast spike in growth which increases the frequency of mowing and the need for irrigation.

Chemical fertilizers are toxic to many soil microorganisms and others like

leave the soil.

They do the job of aeration—one less task for the gardener.

In healthy soil mycorrhizal fungi form a symbiotic relationship with plants, attaching to their roots.

In exchange for carbon provided by the plant, the fungi break down organic matter to provide nutrients. They also draw water from a much larger area than the plants roots greatly increasing the drought tolerance of the plant.

The beauty of working with nature is that when the soil microbes are in a healthy balance there is much less work for the gardener.

indicators of specific soil deficiencies.

For example, dandelions indicate a deficiency in calcium.

With the loss of the soil food web, soil structure is damaged leading to compaction.

Patches of lawn may die off or thatch may build up.

All of this creates more work for the gardener.

The beneficial soil micro-organizms that would have kept such diseases as gray mold in check have been killed off so out come more chemicals to deal with these, creating even more imbalance.

In healthy soil, earthworms move through the soil creating pathways that allow air and water to enter and

Gardening with Nature GWEN STEELE earthworms, just leave the area as there is no food for them.

Because plants cannot use all the chemical fertilizer, it gets leached into ground water, ending up in the lake.

This pollutes drinking water and causes imbalances in the water ecosystem.

The nitrate salts also disrupt the soil pH. The lawn becomes dependent on chemical fertilizers.

Soil becomes unhealthy. Conditions change, becoming favourable to weed species and diseases.

Kelowna Couple Wins $7,500 U.S. Prize Package Jason and Karen Mongrain on the right, receive their $7,500 U.S. prize from DirectBuy franchise owners Barb and Ray Lee A Kelowna couple has won $7,500 U.S. prize package by being members of DirectBuy of Central Okanagan in Kelowna.

DirectBuy boasts that it allows consumers to buy products without retail markup fees.

Jason and Karen Mongrain of Kelowna won the company’s Why I DirectBuy sweepstakes.

They Plan to use the prize package to upgrade their home.

The couple submitted a video and written testimonial that told how the company had saved them money during their home build.

With more than 1,000 entries, the Mongrains’ video was selected as the winner for it’s creativity, originality and faithfulness on the topic, the company said in a news release.

“I was shocked to learn we were selected as the winners of the Why I DirectBuy sweepstakes,” said Jason Mongrain in the release.

Museum president Gordon Ficke noted without the trails that had already existed for more than1,000 years, there would be no Okanagan Fur Brigade Trail.

He explained creating the sculpture not only furthers interest in the historical trails, but also allows them to tell the story of what was.

The museum wanted to tie First Nations and themselves together with fur trading, and to make sure it was done properly they consulted with Westbank First Nation on the design of the sculpture.

“They were just to beef up the maquette at the moment, but they look nice. We’re hoping maybe we can add to that story by planting some indigenous plants around the statue.”

Angus and Ficke are optimistic the sculpture cannot only become a

way of welcoming people to West Kelowna, but also serve as a draw for tourists. Although the statue has a projected budget of roughly $400,000, the museum will not be seeking financial assistance from the City of West Kelowna.

Ficke explained they plan to raise all of the money over a two-year

period, and they are hopeful the community will get behind the project and support it.

Currently, the museum is attempting to line up a meeting with the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, as the government owns the land along the 97A couplet.

Christmas fairy tale play debuts in Kelowna An original Christmas fable script by two Kelowna playwrights and musicians will premiere here on Nov. 26 at Kelowna Community Theatre.

“SNOW! A Frosty Fairy Tale” is written by Kim Foreman-Rhindress and Jim Rhindress.

“We wanted to create an original script that would capture the imaginations of the children while still entertaining their parents,” said Jim. “Plus, not just entertain them but also give them an opportunity to participate during the show while entertaining them.

It’s been a lot of fun writing SNOW. We have written lots of songs together but this is the first complete script,”added Kim, who will be directing the play along with her husband.

The result of this couple’s combined creativity is a fast moving and colourful fairy tale of the Snow Sisters—Chillette, Frostina and Flakella— as they struggle to save winter from their cousin Fiero and his sisters with the help of Jack Frost and Mother Nature.

The play will also feature performances by several local

community groups including M.A.S.K., The White Sails Chorus, Kitsch ‘n Sync and Mystic Dance.

“We wanted to create a show that could incorporate many talented groups from Kelowna and give them a forum where they can do what they do best on a big stage,” said Kim. The play will run at 7 p.m. Nov. 26 through 29, with matinees Saturday and Sunday only at 2 p.m. Tickets available at selectyourtickets.com, Prospera Place box office, or call 250-7625050.

The Canadian Red Cross held an open truck event as part of the annual Walmart Canada campaign in support of the agency.

Since 2003, Walmart has raised and donated nearly $29 million in disaster relief funding.

Last year, the company raised and donated more than $2.8 million for the Canadian Red Cross. These funds provided support to more than 39,000

Canadian residents nationwide, including 670 British Columbian residents following 119 local disaster situations, ranging from house fire to preemptive evacuations such as this summer’s Rock Creek fire.

Funds raised during Walmart Canada’s annual Red Cross Campaign are

set aside to help local families after disaster strikes in their respective communities.

Donations support the distribution of essential emergency supplies, food, water, a safe place to stay for those affected, as well as training and equipment for local volunteer teams.

CONTRIBUTED

The public had a chance to see what resources the Red Cross has to respond to a disaster.

As part of the annual Walmart Canada fundraising campaign to support Canadian Red Cross activities, the new Canadian Red Cross Disaster Response vehicle and trailer were on display at the Kelowna Walmart store’s parking lot.

The response vehicle is a heavy-duty pickup truck is a four-wheel-drive V8, powerful enough to get Red Cross personnel through difficult weather and terrain to reach communities impacted by disasters.

It can also tow a shelter trailer—stocked with 200 temporary shelter beds and relief supplies—to people evacuated from their homes.

The cab on the back of the pickup can be fully equipped with computers, a printer, office supplies, registration cards, and all other materials needed to operate a mobile command centre.

Its Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities can also deliver Internet access almost anywhere.

Throughout this month, Walmart stores across B.C. invited their customers to take part in the annual national fundraising campaign and contribute to the Red Cross humanitarian work effort across Canada.

Each store matched customer contributions to a maximum of $2,000.

“For the past 12 years, Walmart Canada has supported Red Cross operations in communities across Canada, making them stronger and more resilient in their response to disasters,” said Sarah Nelems, Western Canada philanthropy sirector for the Canadian Red Cross.

“Walmart Canada is a major partner, and our relationship is one of the largest partnerships within the worldwide Red Cross movement and all

Legal rights have deadlines This column is a followup to my last, published in the Oct. 21 Capital News, about protecting the rights of injured children. This week I’m writing about limitation periods.

Until I teased her to death, I had a friend who used to say, as an emphasis of finality: “… period, end of story.”

Get to the end of a limitation period without commencing a lawsuit and, indeed, it might be “end of story” for your

children’s rights” aspect to limitation periods arises because children’s claims arising from car crashes have two different limitation periods. How’s that for confusing.

The more commonly known relates to the claim against the negligent driver(s) (typically defended by ICBC), and is a two-year clock that doesn’t start ticking until the child reaches age 19. This is the one ICBC adjusters don’t mind telling you about.

The other relates to a claim directly against ICBC. It’s also a two year clock, but it starts ticking on the day of the crash and could stop ticking as early as the second anniversary of the crash, even if the crash victim is a young child.

It is this “other” limitation period that is missed from time to time, to the detriment of the child because it takes both sets of rights, put together, to result in full, fair compensation for the child’s injuries and losses.

Don’t let this happen to your child, niece or nephew, grandson or granddaughter.

If a young person in your life has been injured as a result of a motor vehicle incident, ensure a lawyer is consulted so that applicable notice and limitation deadlines are not missed.

This column is intended to provide general information about injury claims. It is not a substitute for retaining a lawyer to provide legal advice specifically pertaining to your case.

those rights within some deadline.

Fail to do so and those legal rights might forever be lost.

Why? How would you like it if you were sued over some event that happened 25 years ago?

A year passes after the event, and another. After a while your memory of what occurred starts to fade.

The more time ticks away, the more evidence starts to fade and eventually disappear.

For someone to sit back and wait until you have no ability to defend yourself before pouncing on you with a lawsuit would be unfair.

Different legal rights come with different limitation periods; some as short as six months.

Others, such as a claim related to child sexual abuse, can be much, much longer.

There are also some laws that require “notice” of a legal claim to be provided within much shorter deadlines.

Fail to meet those notice requirements and your rights might be lost as well.

Anyone with a potential legal claim should consult with a lawyer to find out about any applicable notice or limitation periods.

An inexpensive way to do this is to access the Lawyer Referral Service, a program funded by the Law Foundation of British Columbia that enables members of the public to have a consultation with a lawyer, up to 30 minutes, for a fee of $25 plus tax (1-800-663-1919).

By and large, fly fishing in Patagonia is similar to what you’re going to get across the North America, according to angler and author Cameron Chambers.

FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE

Great fishing at the tail end of America John Bordsen contributor

What’s it like to live in a faroff place most of us see only on a vacation? Foreign Correspondence is an interview with someone who has lived in a spot you may want to visit.

••• Cameron Chambers, 33, a native of Helena, Mont., lives in Seattle.

He is the author of Chasing Rumor: A Season Fly Fishing in Patagonia,

published this spring (Patagonia, $13.75).

Question: How do fishing skills in the Pacific Northwest translate to a book about fly-fishing in southern South America?

Answer: I always tell old/new fishermen the same thing: The best fisherman is the person having the most fun doing it. I enjoy being on the river. My casting, fly-tieing, ability to read the water, assess where trout are possibly lying…It’s all pretty good

but the most important thing is enjoying it. I do a pretty good job of that, for the most part.

Question: Why Patagonia?

Answer: It’s a place still really shrouded in mystery—a place where we’ve gotten a lot of pictures and video of very large trout and large, wide-open rivers with no people on them. But not a lot of facts. There are only two guidebooks on the area.

It’s hard to find information on the Internet, so my book deals with the

idea of creating your own adventure on such a grand landscape—and that’s getting rare as people become more global.

Question: What’s the lay of the land?

Answer: Patagonia is essentially the southern third of Argentina and Chile—both sides of the Andes Mountains. A lot resembles Montana, Wyoming and Idaho. As you get over the Andes, the Chilean side, it’s more wet, more like Washington, Oregon

or northwest California. On the Chilean side, you have fast-moving rivers with a lot of whitewater, but also pockets of pools for fish. In Argentina, as you travel east from the Andes range, the land flattens into broad plains with clear, free-running rivers.

It’s a huge landscape, as large as the Western United States.

Question: When were you down

travel ____________________________________________________________________ there?

Answer: My first trip was in 2006, when I was a guide in Chile; that set up the 2008 trip—which this book is really about.

On the first trip, I had gotten a taste of what I had been missing by being stuck in one central location. I was stuck living in a tiny town in Chile for five months; I talked

to area guides, and in bars to fishermen passing through. I started keeping a journal of places I could go. I heard rumors, and my second trip was chasing those rumors.

Question: Is fishing there different from North America?

Answer: By and large it’s similar to what you’re going to get across (the) U.S. A large reason for that is that the industry

down there is really nurtured by Americans and American guides.

Argentine lodge owners initially brought U.S. guides down because of their skill set and language skills: Their businesses were geared to an American and European clientele.

Also, there are North American trout planted down there.

The popular northern Patagonian rivers are close to little towns with a selection of restaurants, hotels and bed-andbreakfasts. Stay there when you’re fishing the rivers. In central Patagonia, the towns are more spread out, and what they have is more limited. It’s expeditionstyle fishing, where you plan on being away from town for two to four days.

Patagonia has hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters. I’ve been there throughout all seasons.

The season opener is typically the first weekend in November; it continues through May. The best time is November, early December and early March, when the water starts cooling down again.

Question: What’s the biggest fish you caught in Patagonia?

Answer: Probably around the 12-pound mark, a brown trout taken where the Limay River comes out of a lake.

It’s one of the hallowed spots for Argentine fly fishing.

Question: Do you need a license to fish in Patagonia?

Answer: You certainly do, particularly on the Argentine side, where there’s a fairly robust game warden system; it’s not uncommon to see wardens in the field.

Licenses are available in any town through fishing shops or tourist information centres. The cost is comparable to an out-of-state license in most states in the U.S. Question: Is a fishing trip there expensive?

Answer: No. Obviously, you’re looking at a pretty significant airfare to get down there, but once you’re down there the costs are maybe 60 to 70 per cent for comparable services in the U.S. Tribune News Service

Making a personal social connection to our schools Betty Brown Contributor

What is the most essential ingredient of a fulfilling and healthy life? What are we all searching for as we engage in the frenetic pace of life? For many of us it is the feeling of belonging.

Social scientists refer to this internal need we all have to feel like we belong as social connectedness. Strangely, the term sounds awkward and kind of disjointed. How can something so natural and essential to a healthfilled life sound so complicated and unappealing?

Perhaps it’s because we have to be told by others that we need to introduce this quality into our daily lives and that makes us uncomfortable.

Let’s face it, we already know we should be doing it but it’s just not that easy and in some ways it seems to be getting harder.

Our communities have evolved to embrace cars and not people. Now we find we must look to the past in order to find what was good for us in the first place—like walkable neighbourhoods and access to nature.

The same can be said for connecting with others. We now embrace technology and independence not togetherness.

To feel truly connected to others we may need to re-think our social (or unsocial) habits and replace them

with meaningful face-to-face human connection and frankly that can feel awkward, risky and unnatural.

But it doesn’t have to be that way— we are designed for love—just ask the Beatles.

Social connectedness isn’t as complicated as it sounds—it’s about inviting someone over for morning coffee, going for a walk or looking for ways to help a neighbour or co-worker in need.

If it’s not that easy it may simply be that we have not exercised this muscle recently. Perhaps it’s time to show people we like them by using our voices, lending a real hand and not just clicking a thumb.

There is a strong correlation between social connection (there’s that word again) and physical health.

According to the new provincial PlanH health guide, belonging to social groups and networks is just as important in predicting health outcomes as diet and exercise.

Let’s reintroduce friendliness, helpfulness, cooperation, and interdependence into our conversations and pastimes.

It’s good for our health and it’s good for our communities.

The Clubman shares engine choices withh the rest of the Mini clan; a base three-cylinder with 102 horsepower, the Cooper’s three-cylinder at 136 horsepower, or the Cooper S’s four-cylinder with 192.

Transmission choices are the six-speed manual, or a new eight-speed automatic. BMW’s usual arsenal of road-conquering technologies are either built in or are available.

The Stockholm area presented a few challenges.

Firstly, it is city of 14 islands, with hundreds more nearby. This means a lot of water, which means a lot of bridges - and a good number of ferries.

The rolling, lake-studded Canadian Shield-like landscape northeast of Stockholm does present inviting stretches - but the tempting country roads are home to the very vigilant police force, and dreaded Blue Meanies.

Once the Clubman broke free from these constraints, its inner go-kart was revealed. There was never any doubt that there was more Mini than usual to throw around, but fun could be summoned - especially with Sport mode selected. The manual certainly kept it real, but the automatic really needed to be in its own Sport mode to simulate the experience.

This new six-door strikes a nice compromise between Mini mania and multitasking. Like the car, the families who take delivery after the Clubman shows up in showrooms early next year are growing out, not up.

The Mini Cooper Clubman starts at $24,990, the Mini Cooper S Clubman at $28,990. Of course, these being Minis means infinite (almost) options and individualization, which would take you north of that pretty quickly.

Toyota reveals a sleeker, sportier Prius

By Keith Morgan Toyota believes the fourth generation Prius is destined to break into new markets with what it describes as ground breaking environmental performance, technological advances and a new design.

More than nine million gas-electric hybrid cars are now in service globally—Toyota-made vehicles account for eight million of them and the Prius makes up half of Toyota’s total.

Environmental performance alone is no longer enough to make a car stand out in a now-crowded segment, so Toyota rebuilt the Prius from the ground up. The result is a sleeker, sportier form, refined interior, advanced safety functions and promised sportier drive.

Some noteworthy improvements can be found in the seating.

In order to minimize discomfort during long drives, front seats feature improved frames and cushion bolstering which provides a ‘snug’ fit and chiropractic control.

The seatback springs have been moved rearward for optimal occupant posture and, as a result, pressure on the lower part of the pelvis is reduced and dissipated broadly, thereby alleviating

stress on the lower back and muscles.

The cushioning in the rear seats has also been optimized, with the seating area widened to mirror the improved comfort of the front seats.

The Prius retains its 1.8-litre VVT-i equipped Atkinson cycle gas engine but it has been completely re-engineered. More details will be released soon.

The all-new Prius will go on display from next week at the Tokyo Motor Show and goes on sale in Japan in December. Global launch dates should follow shortly after. keith.morgan@drivewaybc. ca

will form the manufacturing base at all Honda plants globally that will build the 10th generation Civic model.

The Civic sedan is the first in a series of new 10th-generation models that will also include a

Jim Robinson

coupe, high-performance Si models, a five-door hatchback and the first-ever Civic Type-R model for the Canadian market.

All Civic sedans and coupes sold in Canada will be built at Alliston.

The “first off” ceremony follows the announcement almost a year ago that the plant will see an $857 million investment in processes and technology over the next three years.

The best selling car in Canada for the past 17 years, more than 4.5 million Civics have been produced in Alliston, some 1.89 million sold in Canada alone.

“Civic is a vehicle that Canadians have grown to trust. This 10th generation

model will continue to set a new benchmark in the compact class with fun-to-drive performance, fuel efficiency and safety performance, together with a new level of refinement,” said Jerry Chenkin, president and CEO, Honda Canada Inc. “Canadians can also take pride in knowing that every Civic coupe, sedan and Si model sold in Canada is made right here in Ontario, for Canadians, by Canadians.”

Honda Canada Manufacturing (HCM) has more than 4,000 workers and builds 400,000 Civic and CR-V models each year for the Canadian and North America markets, as well as for export. Of that number, 100,000 Canadian-built Civic and CR-V units are sold annually here in Canada. HCM also produces 260,000 four-cylinder engines annually.

Interestingly, Honda was the first Japanese carmaker to build cars in Canada, opening in 1986 and has since produced the Honda Accord, Odyssey, Pilot and Ridgeline, as well as Acura EL, CSX, MDX and ZDX. The Civic has been in production for 43 years.

The 2016 Civic has been dramatically restyled and for the first time will offer two engines including Honda’s first turbo.

Infiniti Q50: A hybrid with attitude

By Rob Beintema The last time I was at the wheel of an Infiniti Q50, former Formula 1 ace David Coulthard was sitting in the passenger seat, trying hard to be diplomatically and conversationally encouraging over the background noise of a roaring engine and squealing tires as I swept the car through the slaloms of a pylon autocross course.

That kind of situation tends to up your game a little, although I was nowhere near to plumbing the real capabilities of a contending sport sedan that easily rivals competitors like the Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series.

For this more recent test, however, I was on normal city streets without a pylon in sight, sans racing celebrities, and at the wheel of a hybrid version of the car.

Normally, the Q50 harnesses a 3.7-litre DOHC V6 rated at a very satisfying 328 hp and 269 lb/ft of torque. And, at first, the hybrid seems to back off a little from that power baseline, starting with a smaller 3.5-litre version of the storied VQ engine series, making lesser numbers of 302 hp and 258 lb/ft.

But that slightly smaller engine was just a modification to make room for the addition of an advanced 50 kW electric motor that ups the ante with an added 67 hp and 214 lb/ft of torque that combines with the V6 effort for a net power rating

2015 Infiniti Q50 all-wheel-drive hybrid. of 360 hp.

It certainly feels like it.

Acceleration pushes you briskly into the back of your seat, the electric power characteristically peaking quickly at a low 1,650 rpm and blending seamlessly with the gasoline-powered V6 grunt.

Yes, the added hardware and the extra bulk of the 1.4Wh high-output Lithium-ion battery pack adds about 77 kg of curb weight (1,853 kg), compared to a similarly equipped Q50 AWD Sport model (1,776 kg). But the power-toweight ratio still registers in the plus column and the Q50 AWD hybrid maintains a sporty 55/45 (front/rear) weight distribution.

ROB BEINTEMA

And the hybrid carries over the sport performance characteristics of the Q50, incorporating a sport-tuned lightweight aluminum

Control, Intelligent Cruise Control, Forward Emergency Braking, Distance Control Assist, Blind Spot Warning and Intervention, Backup Collision Intervention, Adaptive headlights and the world’s first Predictive Forward Collision Warning system, monitoring traffic behaviour beyond the car in front of you.

The Infiniti Q50, starting at $37,500 and topping out at $48,950, normally comes in rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive configurations and in a choice of premium or sport-oriented trim levels.

While those same choices are offered for hybrid models in other countries,

suspension and standard and available technologies that include Direct Adaptive Steering (drive by wire), a camera-based Active Lane

At A Glance: Infiniti Q50S AWD Hybrid 2015 Body Style: Sports sedan Drive Method: Front engine, all-wheel-drive (AWD) Engine: 3.5-litre DOHC V6 (302 hp, 258 lb/ft) mated to a 50 kW electric motor (67 hp, 214 lb/ft) for a net power rating of 360 hp Transmission: seven-speed automatic transmission with Sport mode and Downshift Rev Matching Fuel Consumption: 8.7/7.7L/100km (city/hwy); as tested 8.3L/100km (comb).

Web Site: infiniti.ca

here …OMIT In Canada we are limited to a one-choice AWD hybrid model, starting at $49,500 and coming complete with many of the features of upper trim levels.

The “S” for “Sport” badging on the back of our Q50S AWD hybrid model comes courtesy of a Sport and Deluxe Technology Package ($6,950) that adds most of the dynamic technologies listed above, along with extensive trim some of which includes: Magnesium Paddle Shifters; Sport Type Leather Seats; Sport Brakes; Aroundview Monitor and Advanced Climate Control And all of this is wrapped in a stylish exterior package featuring the classic long hood, short rear deck proportions iconic to sport sedan design and bolstered with Infiniti’s trademark styling cues—the distinctive double-arch mesh grille, strong chiselled character lines and a sleek, aerodynamic profile bejeweled with LED lighting.

This is a good-looking sport sedan, unique in its styling and, with the addition of a hybrid powertrain, it offers fuel efficient performance along with the extra power, benefiting from regenerative braking, auto start/stop technology, and occasional electric-only performance at low or steady speeds.

All those factors contribute to an 8.7/7.7L/100km (city/hwy) fuel economy rating, compared to the

regular gasoline-powered Q50 AWD rating of 12.5/8.7L/100km (city/hwy).

My real world results with the hybrid averaged out to 8.3L/100km (comb).

Outside of the added price premium for eco-minded sport sedan enthusiasts, there are few tradeoffs here, except for the loss of a 60/40 rear seat and passthrough, and a somewhat reduced trunk space (266 litres, down from 328 litres), both reductions due to the added hybrid battery pack.

The Q50 lineup will probably be revised in the coming future with a rumoured 2.0-litre turbo four-cylinder addition and speculation about other changes that might affect future hybrid applications but, for now, the Q50 AWD Hybrid offers an intriguing blend of performance values with both power and fuel economy benefitting from this uniquely stylish and technologically advanced sport sedan alternative.

What’s Best: A muscular blend of fuel efficiency and added power from a combined V6 and electric motor powertrain.

What’s Worst: Infiniti makes much of its responsive Direct Adaptive Steering system but the feel seems almost nervous and too direct. It takes some getting used to.

What’s Interesting: How Infiniti took hybrid performance to a new and more exciting sport level.

By Lorne Drury It’s not surprising that Subaru enjoys a loyal, enthusiastic, almost cult-like following among owners of its vehicles.

The Japanese automaker has long been known as a manufacturer of dependable, safe, fuel-efficient cars and crossovers. All except one model boast Subaru’s revered symmetrical allwheel drive system.

It is a combination that keeps Subaru buyers coming back, again and again.

In the Subaru lineup, however, one model stands out above the rest. It’s the Forester, a compact crossover SUV that for years has been one of the most highly rated in its segment.

The Forester accounts for about one-quarter of all Subaru sales in Canada with 9,314 units sold as of the end of September.

And while the Forester has been available on these shores since 1997, this vehicle like other Subaru models has undergone quite the transformation of late, particularly in the area of exterior styling.

At A Glance: Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring 2016 Body Style: Compact, five-passenger crossover.

Drive Method: Symmetrical all-wheel-drive Engine: 2.5-litre DOHC 16-valve Boxer four-cylinder engine (170 hp, 174 lb/ft of torque) Fuel Consumption: (manual) 10.6/8.4/9.6 L/100 km city/ highway/combined, (CVT automatic) 9.6/7.5/8.7 L/100 km city/ highway/combined Cargo: 974 litres, with rear seats folded 2,115 litres Tow Rating: 680 kg with trailer brakes, 453 kg without trailer brakes Price: $29,995 plus $1,675 freight and PDI Web Site: www.subaru.ca

Subaru Forester 2.5i Touring for 2016.

At one time, it seemed that Subaru paid little heed to styling, almost as if they thought the vehicles would sell themselves regardless of looks.

But times have changed, and although Subaru can’t be said to be in the forefront of the styling universe, their vehicles now boast a sense of good looks and style.

And because of that, Subaru appears to be attracting

LORNE DRURY

a new breed of buyer and it all bodes well for the sales numbers.

That’s not to say that Subaru has abandoned its core values— namely building safe, reliable vehicles.

In fact, the Forester is one of the safest vehicles on the road, having been named an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) Top Safety Pick (TSP) in the small SUV class for nine years in a row from

2007-2015—the longest run of any vehicle in its class. There’s no reason to believe the Forester won’t garner another TSP with this 2016 model since this year’s model is largely a carry-over from last year when it was redesigned.

Subaru is also the only manufacturer with IIHS Top Safety Picks for all of its models for six consecutive years from 2010-2015.

Our tester was a 2.5i Forester with the Touring Package and six-speed manual transmission, priced at $29,995. For a continuous variable automatic transmission, you’ll have to add $1,300 to the tab.

The 2.5i Touring is the third of four levels on the 2.5i trim chart, sitting just below the Limited ($34,595) and Limited with Technology Package ($35,795).

The base 2.5i is the only other trim level offering the six-speed manual and it is priced at $25,995, $27,295 with the CVT. Between the base and Touring level is the Convenience Package, also available with a PZEV option (a low emissions, eco-friendly model).

Power comes from a 2.5-litre DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder Boxer engine, making 170 hp and 174 lb/ft of torque. It’s no speed-burner by any stretch of the imagination, but it gets you where you want to go with enough oomph for any driving situation, even off-road if you so desire.

For those who want more performance, a 2.0-litre DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder Boxer is offered with a twin-scroll turbocharger and intercooler. This engine produces 250 hp and 258 lb/ft of torque and is available in the 2.0 XT model with either Touring, Limited or Limited with Technology trims, priced from $33,495

to $37,995.

Fuel consumption for the 2.5i Touring manual is rated at 10.6/8.4/9.6 L/100 km city/highway/combined.

As is the case with many automatics today, the CVT actually gets better fuel economy than the manual with numbers of 9.6/7.5/8.7 city/highway/combined.

The ride is comfortable, in the same ballpark as the class leaders and the vehicle cruises nicely on the highway. Being a tall wagon, handling is a touch behind some of the competition.

Just as the exterior styling of the Forester has been spruced up over the years, so too has the interior, yet it is still functional, family-friendly and spacious with a best-in-class cargo

capacity of 2,115 litres with the rear seats folded.

For taller drivers, headroom is often an issue in compact SUVs, but not so in the Forester, which really fits the bill of a ‘tall wagon’ with loft ground clearance and great sight-lines and even stadium-style seating in the second row.

The six-speed manual is silky smooth and easy to use with a handy ‘hill hold’ feature. Although I’m not a big CVT fan, I’d still probably opt for it in the Forester, particularly if you do any off-roading at all. It features X Mode, which increases traction and control in extreme driving conditions through the use of lower gear ratios to generate extra power and wheels that have grip. It also activates

Hill Descent Control so the driver doesn’t have to apply the brakes on steep slopes.

So what’s new for 2016?

Not a lot except new infotainment systems with integrated larger backup camera. Our tester had a 6.2-inch high-resolution touchscreen unit, while a seven-inch high resolution capacitive touchscreen display with GPS navigation is available.

Also new is the availability of steering-responsive fog lights for improved visibility.

Despite competing in one of the most crowded segments in the industry, the Forester continues to grow sales year after year.

It’s not the prettiest, it’s not the fastest and it’s not the most powerful vehicle in the class, but it more than makes up for some minor shortcomings with its versatility, functionality and go-anywhere ability.

What’s Best: This is one great package that just does almost everything well.

What’s Worst: Not a lot to complain about here, although handling may not quite match class leaders.

What’s Interesting: A rear-view camera is now standard across the board.

Shania Twain’s concert in Kelowna at Prospera Place on Oct. 27 figures to be a passing of the musical torch.

Twain has said the Kelowna concert will mark the end of not only her current North America tour, but also of her career performing on stage.

Her opening act here, along with Victoria (Oct. 24 and 25) and Vancouver (Oct. 26) will be Swiss singer Bastian Baker, who is just starting to cut his teeth in the North American music scene.

Baker, 24, has enjoyed success in his native homeland and across Europe with his first two albums, and he hopes his third album release, Facing Canyons, set to come out in 2016, will launch his career in the US and Canada. The first single from that album is called Tattoo on my Brain.

“It’s my third album so it is a pretty critical step for me. Finding popularity with my music in North America would be a dream come true,” said Bastian.

His friendship with Twain evolved from a chance meeting at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland last July.

Bastian performed at there and Twain liked what she heard.

The two kept in touch in the months that followed, and Bastian eventually went to see Twain perform her Las Vegas show.

“She invited me to be the opening act for shows on her concert tour and I was excited about that, it just took a bit of time to work out the scheduling,” he said.

“It will be a bit of a challenge in that, as the opening act, you know everyone is there to see Shania, but hopefully I can make a connection with the audience with my music. It’s a challenge but I am looking forward to it. It should be a lot of fun.”

Baker’s initial influence as a youth was not on a stage singing, but rather in an arena playing hockey. His father was a professional hockey player in Switzerland.

Bastian reached the junior elite A level but he traded his hockey stick for a guitar and his life went in a different direction.

“Hockey was a big part of my life when I was younger and I still follow

Their numerous critically acclaimed recordings have included their own original songs as well as tried and true standards, both instrumental and vocal, some of which have achieved the coveted Gold record status in Canada.

The Barra MacNeils’ live concert experience brings so much to the stage—multiple lead vocalists, beautiful sibling harmonies, top drawer instrumental prowess on a wide variety of acoustic, stringed, percussion and wind instruments, dancing, storytelling, Gaelic songs and a journey through an ancient culture.

Steeped in Cape Breton tradition with strong Celtic roots and musical artistry, this diverse and talented family group continues to wow audiences around the world.

They were recently nominated for PEI’s Fans Choice Award for Entertainers of the Year in 2014. They continue to perform to sold out audiences throughout Canada, the US, the Caribbean, and the United Kingdom.

Bastian Baker will open for Shania Twain when her concert tour makes a stop at Prospera Place in Kelowna on Oct. 27. the NHL, but music started to become more of my thing. I started playing guitar when I was 7 and I was always writing songs in the classroom,” Bastian said.

“As I grew up, I was always the guy trying to organize a band with my classmates, and we started playing cover tunes at weddings and parties on weekends whenever I didn’t have hockey going on.”

With his songwriting, Bastian said he started slipping some of his own songs in with the cover tune playlist, and was encouraged by seeing a response from the audiences.

“My life changed in May 2010. We were playing a birthday party, and someone who was there worked in the recording industry, heard me singing and said I should record a song,” Bastain recalled.

“He gave me the opportunity to go in the studio and record on song, we started to get radio stations to play it and it generated feedback, so more stations began to pick up on it.”

That first song led to recording his first album, which went platinum in sales for Switzerland, reaching #3 on the Swiss album charts. As time went on his music’s began to find audiences in France and Belgium.

“We haven’t stopped from that point on. I’m still with the same band and crew I started out with, and now here we are five years later and we are opening for Shania Twain.

“That’s pretty cool for all of us,” he added. edit@kelownacapnews.com

Steve Jobs benefits from movie team

Aaron Sorkin became one of my favourite screenwriters within the first five minutes of A Few Good Men. He went on to write movies like The American President, Moneyball and The Social Network and created TV series like Sports Night and The West Wing. His writing is smart, funny and fast, many times leaving me breathless trying to keep up the dialog. He creates action with words which is why he can create scenes that have you riveted.

Then you take one of his scripts to a director like Academy Awardwinner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire) and you have the potential for real magic.

The story they have decided to tackle is Steve Jobs, and while it is best described as a bio-pic of the iconic Apple cofounder, it is actually a behind-the-scenes look at Jobs prior to three pivotal product launches ending with the unveiling of the iMac in 1998. While it is not a traditional biography, Sorkin is said to do a good job of painting a intimate portrait of the man at the epicentre of the digital revolution through just three major events in his life.

Also getting acclaim is Michael Fassbender as Jobs; Kate Winslet as Joanna Hoffman, a member of the original Mac team; Jeff Daniels as John Sculley, CEO of Apple from 1983-1993; and Seth Rogen getting particular recognition from critics for his portrayal of Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak.

Director Barry Levinson is an incredible director who is able to balance both comedy and drama in movies like Diner, The Natural, Good Morning Vietnam and winning an Academy Award for Rain Man (which also won Best Picture). His latest is Rock the Kasbah, in which Bill Murray plays a hasbeen rock manager who takes his last remaining client on a USO tour of Afghanistan. When he finds himself abandoned, penniless and without a passport, he discovers a young Afghan girl with an incredible voice and manages her through that country’s version of American Idol. Bruce Willis, Kate Hudson, Zooey Deschanel, Danny McBride, Scott Caan and Kelly Lynch round out the impressive cast.

••• CONCERT Murray McLauchlan Friday, Oct. 23

7:30 p.m.

Kelowna Community Theatre 1375 Water St. Tickets go on sale today (June 26) at noon for Canadian troubador Murray McLauchlan tour stop in Kelowna this fall.

McLauchlan’s musical career spans 40 years, during which he has recorded 18 albums and received 11 Junos.

Among his musical repertoire, Farmer’s Song, Down by the Henry Moore, Whispering Rain and Sweeping the Spotlight Away are now considered Canadian standards.

During his entertainment career, McLauchlan has also been a painter, an author, an actor and a radio talk show host, sporting a biography of accomplishment befitting someone who has been appointed to The Order of Canada.

“As a songwriter I know that it’s not enough to sit in your kitchen and write. Your songs need to be heard,” McLauchlan said.

“Music is a communicative art and if it isn’t brought in front of people there is no way to tell if that end has been met. I like to think of a

concert tour as a kind of roving gallery to test your art and your ideas.

“I try to do my very best to make it worthwhile for folks to be there and to perhaps look at things in a new way when they leave.”

And this, in a nutshell, is the Murray McLauchlan concert experience.

Tickets available online at Select Your Tickets, or call 250-762-5050.

The group consists of Nolan Nielsen (drums, vocals), Brett Hornall (Lead vocals, bass), and Kirk Musfelt (guitar, vocals).

The group was formed in 2011 and within a year and a half, the band selfrecorded and released an album of demos from Kirk’s attic.

The majority of that debut album was recorded with an electric drum kit. Also notable about one song is the vocal track, which was recorded by putting a

Lidstone is considered a maverick guitarist who freely plumbs the depths of jazz, ambient and postrock.

Masz is an interdisciplinary new media musician and visual artist. By using prerecorded music and sounds, signal processors, and physically manipulating speakers, Masz creates novel compositions, often described as auditory hallucinations.

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 the group’s new album, “Five Crooked Lines.” Tickets for the Kelowna show are available at www.

SelectYourTickets.com,by calling 250-762-5050 or at the Prospera Place box office.
