Frozen out of ice rink

2560 enterprise way - kelowna bc - 250-762-2068

Scotty Creek resident Belinda Campbell hopes the closure by the Black Mountain Irrigation District of her neighbourhood’s outdoor ice rink will be rescinded.

Outdoor rink closure leaves Scotty Creek parents frustrated Kevin Parnell kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Last summer, Scotty Creek resident Belinda Campbell organized a community fundraiser to collect money for an outdoor ice rink in her neighborhood.

It was for a good cause and more than $2,000 was raised with donations of money and supplies coming from more than 200 homes in the area as the community got together to improve on an outdoor ice rink they had been using for several

years. It is on a vacant lot owned

by Black Mountain Irrigation District (BMID).

It was a true community effort; dads flooded the rink,moms brought drinks and hot dogs and kids got outside and enjoyed the most typical of Canadian winter past-times—playing hockey on an outdoor rink.

But now that’s all on hold.

Campbell was organizing another fundraiser and work crews were set to make more improvements this year, but BMID has locked the gates on the fence that surrounds the lot

and told the group to hold off building the ice rink this year.

“We had some issues last year that we wanted to fix,” said Campbell, a mother of two young kids who regularly used the outdoor ice rink.

“We wanted more efficient lighting. But now it’s all on hold.

There have been a few issues but we were always proactive in coming up with solutions to any issues.

“We brought in more dirt to build up the bank so snow and ice didn’t melt and run off into the neighbour’s driveway.

“We talked about shutting things down at a certain time, moving the lights, putting hedges up. This rink benefits everyone and we’re really accommodating,” she said.

Campbell and other supporters of the outdoor rink hope they will receive the go-ahead from BMID to continue using the location this winter.

Officials with BMID were in a meeting Thursday and did not return phone messages left by the Kelowna Capital News.

News Cheryl Fraser meets with Miriam, one of the Ugandan grandmothers.

Real estate: Call for less red tape, more diversity Alistair Waters

GRANDMOTHERS FOR AFRICA

awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna grandmas reach out to help their African counterparts Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com

Cheryl Fraser was in Entebbe, Uganda in early October as a delegate representing the Stephen Lewis Foundation at the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign.

Fraser is the chairperson of the Kelowna Grandmothers for Africa, which supports the Grandmothers to Grandmothers Campaign.

The campaign started 10 years ago at a gathering in Toronto as a response to the AIDS pandemic that has left many grandmothers in Uganda and other African nations as the primary caregivers for their grandchildren.

The gathering in Entebbe was the first national gathering in Uganda, and the Ugandan grandmothers were joined by other grandmothers from around the world, such as Fraser.

While there, they networked to find ideas that were working in communities other than their

own and created the Ugandan Grandmothers Statement, which is holding the Ugandan government accountable to discriminative laws and policy that keeps them from having things like titles to their land, pensions and medical care.

Fraser was also at the Toronto meeting 10 years ago, and she noted this one was quite different.

“In 2006, when the African grandmothers came to the AIDS conference in Toronto, I met with 200 grandmothers from across Africa,” she recalled.

“It was all about loss, grieving, tears and high emotion. There was hopelessness because these grandmothers had huge tasks, and they had just gone through the grief and loss of losing all of their children, their spouses and some of their grandchildren.

“In 2015 the grandmothers have organized within their communities where they’re giving nursing care and helping out with feeding problems.”

Fraser noted tremendous steps

Changing demographics in the Central Okanagan will have a major impact on real estate here in the future, according to a panel which spoke to members of the Urban Development Institute in Kelowna on Thursday.

The panel was made up of Darcy Nyrose, of Nyrose and Associates, a local real estate firm, Ben Smith, vicepresident of Rennie Marketing Systems, a large B.C. developer, and Mickey Werstiuk, a band councillor with the Westbank First Nation.

While baby boomers are looking to get out of what Smith called “McMansions” and find smaller accommodation, Generation Xers are now pushing 35 with families and looking to buy the same types of properties the baby boomers are looking at.

“We’re just not prepared for the aging baby boomers,” said Smith, who predicted a

have been taken to help the grandmothers since 2006, as they have moved from tears and loss to empowerment and influence.

On Nov. 14, the Kelowna Grandmothers for Africa will be hosting Discover Africa’s Culture and Cuisine, a fundraiser for the Stephen Lewis Foundation, which supports African grandmothers.

At the fundraiser, for which they have partnered with the Kelowna Sunrise Rotary Club for, Fraser will be recounting her experience in Uganda.

“There’s a silent auction, some of them are beautiful Zimbabwean stone sculptures, others are handcrafted baskets filled with other hand-crafted items and some are donations from the local community,” she explained.

The fundraiser will also have an African dinner, and African inspired drumming and dance.

Tickets to the event can be found though Eventbrite or by contacting Cheryl Fraser directly at 250-7649247.

lot of wealth transfer will likely not happen because the market for the type of properties they’re selling is just not there.

Werstiuk said local governments need to be more adaptable to the changes that are happening in the real estate market now, especially when it come to handling development applications.

While the WFN is credited with being quick in terms of letting development applications move through the bureaucratic process, developers see a different story when it comes to non-native municipalities.

One member of the audience said the development application process in the Lower Mainland makes Kelowna look “like a snail compared to a hare.”

“Local government has to be more respectful of what the market is dictating,” said Westiuk, noting what has been done in the past does not necessarily work now.

Smith told the audience that in Surrey,

when former mayor Dianne Watts came to power in the early 2000s, a great deal of red tape was eliminated at city hall and that created a huge scramble in terms of development that slowed down the market substantially there.

Meanwhile, in Vancouver, where there was more regulation and requirements, development applications were moving much more quickly through the system at that time.

“So it’s a balance,” he said.

Nyrose said in recent years he has been encouraging developers to include different types of housing within their developments to compensate the changing aspects of the market.

He used one example of a development on the Westside that included what he called housing for the “cool kids, the families and the grandparents.”

Diverse housing options appeal to a broader spectrum of buyers, he said.

BMID directors were holding their regular board meeting Thursday afternoon and the issue of the Scotty Creek ice rink was expected to be discussed.

That meeting was not open to the public.

Campbell said BMID has known that the neighbourhood was using the lot as an ice rink and the water utility had told the group to make sure it had “Use at Your Own Risk” warning signs posted at the entrances.

The irrigation district had even given the community keys to get inside the fenced area to work on the rink.

Word of the decision by BMID quickly spread on the Scotty Creek Neighbourhood community Facebook page with residents quick to support the community ice rink.

“I live three lots down and I think it’s a great thing for the neighbourhood,” wrote Wendy Amorin. “Love seeing the kids out there having a good time.”

“The majority of us who live next or across from it have no problems with it,” wrote Letisha Pfenning.

As for Campbell, she said her two kids were regular users of the rink, many times heading down there for just a few minutes and then staying for hours on end.

She says the community will work with any concerned residents and with BMID to come to a solution that will allow for the ice rink to continue.

“This just benefits everyone,” she said. “It’s about the kids learning to skate because we’re Canadian. It’s about getting them off the electronics.

“I’m trying to keep my kids optimistic. There are ways around this.” @KP_media1

Safety tips for Halloween The Kelowna Fire Department doesn’t want to spook anyone, but the firefighters have some tips to help trick-or-treaters get through Halloween safely.

• When choosing a costume, stay away from billowing or long trailing fabric. Those who make their own costumes should choose material that won’t easily ignite if it comes into contact with heat or flame.

• Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume.

• It is safest to use a glow stick or battery-operated candle in a jack-o-lantern. Use extreme caution with real candles and make sure children are watched at all times when candles are lit.

• Keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes.

• Fireworks are not allowed to be set off or discharged in the City of Kelowna unless authorized under the Fire and Life Safety Bylaw permit process. A fine of up to $500 can be issued to anyone who is in violation of the bylaw.

Westside library services reviewed

West Kelowna residents are being invited to participate in an upcoming Idea Lab to provide input and feedback on future Westside library services.

This drop-in event will be held at the Westbank First Nation’s Health and

Wellness Centre,1900 Quail Lane, from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

The Idea Lab will include information about library trends and possible options for new services and spaces, as well as ask for specific

feedback on a potential location partnering with the WFN. The session will include opportunities for written input and group discussion.

“The world is changing, and so are we. Our library board and staff working group

have been working hard over the past few months developing ideas and themes for change”, said ORL chief executive officer Stephanie Hall.

“Now we want to hear the voices of our community—both library users and non-users. The

library exists to support our residents, and we want to hear feedback on the best direction forward.”

Some libraries today are turning their focus to increased access to new technologies such as 3-D printers, self-publishing

machines, and video and sound recording equipment.

Others are expanding outreach services to schools and businesses to support literacy and entrepreneurship, or both.

Format generates feedback N Launched on Oct. 6 in coordination with the Central Okanagan’s 2015 Vital Signs report, the 100 Dinners initiative engaged the public in mealtime conversations focused on ideas to continue enhancing the quality of life for Central Okanagan residents.

The 100 Dinners events have ranged in size, from smaller dinner parties hosted in private homes, to a fine-dining event at Okanagan College’s Infusions, to a gathering of 40 citizens in Peachland. Guests have ranged in age, from teenagers to senior citizens.

A number of organizations have participated, including the Central Okanagan Community Food Bank, Investors Group, the Kelowna Gospel Mission, Kelowna Secondary School, NOW Society Canada, the Okanagan

Regional Library and Pathways Abilities Society.

“We had a very successful luncheon with just about 20 in attendance,” said Karen Erickson, regional director at Investors Group.

“The conversation was animated and it was amazing to see the feedback and ideas flowing.”

After each event, hosts complete a survey and report back on the ideas discussed.

Among the feedback received, respondents overwhelmingly cited “natural beauty and environment,” “climate,” and “overall quality of life” as the reasons they feel proud to call the Central Okanagan home.

One respondent referred to our “Goldilocks size—big enough to have culture but not gridlock.”

community, 100 Dinners participants raised a number of concerns as well as suggestions for improvement.

Top of the list were housing and transit issues. Specific mentions included the need for a “more coordinated approach” to address homelessness, an increase in the availability of lowincome housing and a general call for more rental, or “rent-to-own” housing stock.

In terms of transit, participants were concerned about our car culture and its negative impact on both the natural environment and people’s physical health.

Among transit improvements, suggestions included extended bus routes, more interconnected bike lanes, and plans to “reduce sprawl” and create more “car-free” mixed-use communities.

About half of respondents were concerned with environmental protection and sustainability, suggesting we create enforceable water regulations and a more comprehensive recycling and compost program.

Another oft-mentioned concern was the unwelcoming, or clique mentality, among Central Okanagan adults.

An anti-Albertan sentiment was raised as a concern, as were the

A difficulties among young a adults to “make new friends or join social clubs after graduating from W college.” r To enhance people’s B sense of belonging, nearly 75 per cent of t respondents cited easy p remedies, such as “get to i know your neighbours,” “volunteer,” “start a A book club,” and “smile.” c When asked, “Why t did you choose to 8 participate in a 100 N Dinners conversation?” t a full 92 per cent of a respondents said to help create positive change in my community.

A further 95 per cent indicated they were “very” or “somewhat” likely to take specific action regarding a new idea, concern or issue discussed at their dinner.

“This is a very positive sign,” said Vital Signs coordinator Kimberly Carter.

“Part of the impetus behind the 100 Dinners event was to bring citizens together, identify challenges in our community and brainstorm grassroots ideas for improvement.

“The responsibility for creating secure, healthy and connected communities is shared —I think this data point reflects people’s understanding of their own empowerment around communal change.”

PROVINCIAL ELECTION

Name change for local riding proposed

Alistair Waters

awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Voters living in the provincial riding of Westside-Kelowna will see the name of the riding change to Kelowna West for the 2017 B.C. election.

That’s the only change being called for the three Central Okanagan ridings by the provincial Electoral Boundaries Commission in its final report to government.

On Thursday, Attorney General Suzanne Anton introduced a bill to adopt the commission’s final report, which recommends two new ridings be added to the current 85—one in Surrey and one in Richmond/ New Westminster—and changes be made to electoral boundaries in 48 existing ridings around the province.

Westside-Kelowna is currently represented

in the B.C. Legislature by Premier Christy Clark.

In its report, the three-member commission said while it received varied input for the ridings in the Kelowna area, including substantial changes to boundaries to more closely follow school catchment areas and not cross Okanagan Lake, it held off because the populations of the Kelowna-Lake Country, Kelowna Mission and Westside-Kelowna (Kelowna West) ridings are similar.

“We were not convinced changes would achieve more effective representation,” wrote the commission.

The report predicts when the 2017 B.C. election rolls around, the populations of the three Central Okanagan ridings will be: • Kelowna-Lake Country—61,113 • Kelowna-Mission—60,403 • Kelowna West—59,750

City in Action CounCil HigHligHts snow routes

Council approved bylaw updates to allow for designated snow routes. For future significant snow events, parking bans would be placed on snow routes. Removing vehicles from the street allows for a safer, more efficient and effective plowing operation. Staff have identified four areas for snow routes: Dilworth, The Ponds, Wilden and Magic Estates. These areas were selected due to their elevation, volume of cul-de-sacs and past issues with parked vehicles.

Downtown Plan update

Council received an annual update on the initiatives and the indicators included in the 2012 Downtown Plan, My Downtown.

Recent successes include the expanded and improved Queensway Transit Exchange, new public pier, construction of Stuart Park, and the Memorial Parkade and Okanagan Centre for Innovation, which are projects currently underway. For more information, visit kelowna.ca/mydowntown.

Heritage Assets

Council approved a work plan that outlines direction for six heritage assets over the next three years. Proposed work includes completion of work underway at the former Glenn Avenue school, sale of the former St. Aidan’s Church, and initiation of public engagement for long-term uses of Cameron House and the Grist Mill Heritage Park.

Knox Mountain Park update

Council received an update about Knox Mountain Management Plan. Projects identified in the management plan will maintain and improve existing infrastructure, reduce conflict between user groups, increase capacity within the park for recreation opportunities, and minimize human impact on sensitive and vulnerable areas. Completed projects include Apex Trail restoration, vehicle gate installed above Crown Lookout, annual inspections and maintenance, forest management, and a dedicated web page with more information. kelowna.ca/council

PubliC notiCes notice of Disposition

Pursuant to Section 26 of the Community Charter and Council Policy No. 76, Disposal of City Property, notice is hereby given that the Council of the City of Kelowna intends to enter into an a Agreement of Purchase and Sale for a portion of Lot 12 Plan 4375,

The commission also held off making any changes to the two ridings north of Kelowna—Vernon-Monashee (where a change was proposed in the commission’s preliminary report) and Shuswap—and to the riding south of Westside-Kelowna, Penticton.

The commission is, however, calling for the addition of two new ridings in the Lower Mainland that would bring the provincial total to 87.

The commission says the current ridings in Surrey and the Richmond/New Westminster area are now more than 25 per cent above the provincial average in terms of population.

The commission, which must review B.C. riding boundaries after every second election, was made up of B.C. Supreme Court judge Thomas Melnick, former RCMP commissioner Beverley Busson, and B.C.’s chief electoral officer Keith Archer.

Residents are reminded to cover their loads while dropping off recycling, yard waste and waste at the Glenmore Landfill. Uncovered loads create an environmental impact as waste can fall out and litter roadsides. It also poses a safety hazard to vehicles driving behind, as well as pedestrians and cyclists who share the road. Bylaw enforcement staff are monitoring and handing out fines to those that neglect to cover their load. Cameras located at the landfill have also been used to impose fines.

The fine for an uncovered or unsecured load is $150 under the City’s Solid Waste Management Bylaw. inFo: 250-469-8880

Opinion

Look after our own before refugees To the editor: I am concerned where Canada is getting the money from to bring such a large number of refugees here, apparently the money for EI had been used to pay our deficit.

LETTER OF THE WEEK A lot of Canada’s elderly and people with disabilities are having trouble living on their pensions, no one seems concerned about them.

I hear these people are treated pretty good and are allowed a lot of benefits that we are not.

I think it is entirely wrong not looking after our own first. These refugees should be expected to act like Canadians and within a year if they can’t learn and speak our language they should be returned.

They should not be given the signing authority to sign other people over. How is the security clearance going to be handled with this many people—for all we know there could be terrorists disguised as refugees.

They should be situated in a safe place near their own country and should be the responsibility of the United Nations. I haven’t heard of any of them being trained to defend their own country, why is that? If it had looked like they had been defending their own country right from the beginning and now they are fleeing for their life because they were unable to.

Don’t get me wrong I am not an unfeeling person I do feel concerned for these people and wouldn’t want to walk in their shoes but I don’t think being put in another country is the answer. How come other European countries haven’t opened their doors?

Head-spinning dilemmas of Halloween “Batman.”

That’s what Kathartic my small human says whenever anybody asks KATHY him what he’s MICHAELS going to be this Halloween.

Despite my suspicions he’s a genius, he’s continually wrong on this particular point. He’s not going to be Batman, as I’ve explained at least a dozen times.

“Mummy already bought a Martian, cowboy and policeman costume,” I say, in a way that shows a discouraging amount of comfort in referring to myself in the third person.

“How about space cowboy? Or, Martian policeman?”

“No, mummy. I will be Batman,” he says with the determination of Bruce Wayne.

I’m not sure what will happen on Halloween when he realizes that he won’t be Batman. I’m dreading it, really, and that’s putting one more nail

in the coffin of my least favourite celebration.

I’m a long term Halloween hater. My long list of gripes started in childhood, when I suffered the indignity of wearing a garbage bag rain slicker. It intensified in my 20s when I was coerced into taking part in slutty garb and sloppy drunk parties.

Then there are the years I handed out candies to people who looked older than me and the two times my car was broken into.

I told you, lots of gripes.

The newest, beyond Batman, comes courtesy of the Internet. This year, long articles and short, pithy lists can be found by the dozen, explaining how to behave for this heinous hallows eve.

The ones I agree with are: Don’t dress your elementary age daughter like a lady of the night; Don’t put on blackface and Don’t dress up like Caitlin Jenner, although I think they could be addressed by simply saying “Don’t be a jerk.”

Not just today, everyday. Being a jerk is not OK, even when you have a mask on.

But there’s so much more policing to be done according to the editors of lifestyles pages, and

they’re going too far in lists of dos and don’ts that drone on about everything from cultural appropriation to the romanticization of crime.

Isn’t part of Halloween all about being campy, frightening and outrageous?

Must everything be taken so seriously?

While I loathe Halloween, there is one thing I appreciate—the excitement that my friends and family have for it. If they had to view everything about it through the crusty dry lenses of a cultural commentator, well, it would become even more insufferable.

Even my small human would be disappointed.

Batman, after all, would definitely be off limits. Clearly he’s the depiction of a man with a personality disorder that’s aggravated by deep mourning from a childhood atrocity.

Having fun with that is just not right.

Kind gesture brings tears Horses should not be shipped out of B.C. as food of joy ASIAN MARKET

To the editor: As a prelude to the upcoming holiday season, most organizations are looking for donations. However, I was most pleasantly surprised Friday [Oct. 23] at the Plaza 33 Mall in Rutland.

As I was wheeling towards a restroom, I was handed a single carnation by a young boy, named Noah who, along with his little sister Ava and their mother were walking towards me.

I asked if they wanted a donation.

In reply, the mother said they were spreading the ‘joy.’

I told them I love flowers and expressed my thanks.

What a refreshing switch! Needless to say, in the restroom, tears of joy streamed down my cheeks. Since I’m still grieving the loss of my husband Bing, who died this last June, it was so very, very nice to know people care.

Later, as I waited for handyDART, a kind security guard, named Christian, g ave me a push up the steep ramp to go outside and wait in the pleasant Okanagan sunshine.

Thank you, kind people, and thank you, Jesus.

To the editor: The Canadian horse slaughter industry is an abomination—capitalism without conscience.

Within its confines exist the extermination of liberty, heartbreak, unpardonable anguish and at the end of the line, callous at the side of a butcher, the ever vigilant thief of life— death.

Pro-slaughter advocates spout, “The horse is only meat and the slaughter is humane euthanasia.” Bogus rhetoric! Fiction diction and covertness are cornerstones of their industry. Below the superficial distortions, out of the public eye, lie the truths—the inhumaneness of the horse slaughter journey.

The shipping of live horses to Japan so their connoisseurs can enjoy freshly butchered sashimi is a national disgrace. Transportation to, and imprisonment in, slaughterhouse feedlots is nefarious and abusive. And, the final stages of the “process”—kill chutes, stun boxes, captive bolts to the head and dismemberment (of, at times, live horses) far over-step the boundaries of morality.

Our culture has never embraced the concept of horse meat for human consumption. A pony is a child’s dream, a horse an adult’s treasure. This foreign driven industry transforms those dreams and

treasures into nightmares of betrayal. Our horse is not a commodity to be exploited.

Throughout history, beside the footprints of man are the hoof prints of the horse. This intelligent beast pulled our plows, hauled our ore, helped build railroads. The horse stood beside—and died with—our soldiers on countless battlefields including the poppy coated grounds of Flanders. They have entertained and joined us in recreational pursuits. They are a beloved companion.

And, so often, they have lifted spirits and provided solace to troubled souls. The horse is the single most influential animal to affect mankind.

To be a democracy of truths we cannot act in half-truths. To be a nation of dignity we must not turn our backs on the undignified.

Oh Canada! It is time to walk higher ground—time for the people and our newly elected federal politicians to proclaim, ‘Not in our country!’—time to listen with our hearts to the call unspoken of our friend, the horse.

It is the horse slaughter industry not our ethics and our horses that should be in the graveyard.

COVERING THE LEGISLATURE

Myths of the Highway of Tears The scandal Victoria News of the week at the B.C. TOM legislature FLETCHER is what could be termed “delete-gate.”

Primarily, it revolves around 36 pages of government emails that the NDP opposition has been trying for a year to get under freedom of information legislation. They relate to a series of meetings between transportation ministry bureaucrats and remote communities along Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert.

If you want all of the accusations about government secrecy and alleged coverups, I invite you to read “Access Denied,” the latest report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner at www.oipc.bc.ca, and transcripts of question period in the legislature this week.

What you won’t find there is much discussion of the actual problem, which is a shortage of safe and practical transportation options in and out of these communities, most of which are federally funded aboriginal reserves far from the region’s only highway.

What we have seen for decades is a dramatic media narrative about one or more serial killers preying on vulnerable women hitch-hiking along what is now known worldwide as the Highway of Tears.

The Wikipedia entry for Highway of Tears gives a sense of the credibility of this narrative. It begins with the unsolved murder of Gloria Moody, last seen leaving a bar in Williams Lake in 1969. That’s a long way from Highway 16.

Then there was Monica Jack, killed in 1978. DNA technology resulted in a charge

finally being laid last year against a known serial rapist. This was even further away, near Merritt, and she was a 12-year-old riding her bike.

Other cases involve street prostitution in and around Prince George, an urban hub for a large aboriginal population similar to Regina and Winnipeg.

Discussion in Victoria focuses on urban notions of increased transit, in places where existing service may be underused. Nationally, the narrative is that deepseated social problems within aboriginal communities would somehow be solved by a lawyer-heavy judicial inquiry that looks only at tragedies involving women.

If you drive Highway 16 today, you will see fading billboards pleading for information on the disappearance of Madison Scott. She was last seen in the early hours of May 28, 2011, after a grad party in the woods outside Vanderhoof. Her truck and tent were still there. Again, nothing to do with hitch-hiking, but at least it was near Highway 16.

Here’s something else you won’t often hear in the Highway of Tears melodrama. There is commercial bus service on Highway 16, although Greyhound reduced frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs.

BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities like Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connecting them south to Smithers. But BC Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay.

North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments.

Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you. And Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need

medical care.

Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame.

I hope the infamous 36 pages of emails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release.

They may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

2016-2020 Budget Public Input

The Regional Board has received the timeline for consideration and discussion on the proposed 2016 – 2020 Financial Plan. Two additional opportunities for public comment and feedback have been added to the process. The first will take place during the Preliminary First Draft Budget Review on February 25th. The second opportunity to hear from the public takes place March 10th.

The final opportunity for public input will be provided during the March 31st Board meeting for final consideration and adoption of the budget bylaw.

Proposed Water Rates and System Bylaws

The Regional Board has given first reading to individual bylaws for each of its six water systems and proposed increases for basic fees and consumption rates. The new rates, if approved, would take effect January 1st and are designed to encourage conservation and be more equitable for low and medium water users. They will also generate sufficient revenues to cover the full operating costs of providing service and will help keep each system financially sustainable. Water customers provided feedback on the new rates during open houses last spring.

Proposed Sunset Ranch Sewer Rate

The Regional Board has given first reading to an amended Central Okanagan East Sewer Systems Bylaw which provides sanitary sewer service to properties in the Sunset Ranch strata community.

In order to offset the costs from the City of Kelowna and to cover additional operational expenses the bylaw would adjust the annual rate for service by approximately 12% ($38.52 increase) for each household. The proposed bylaw includes a late payment penalty to encourage customers to keep their accounts paid and up to date.

Proposed Solid Waste Bylaw Amendment

The Regional Board has given first reading to an amendment to the Solid Waste Management Regulation Bylaw. If approved, it would add a four per cent late payment penalty.

Wildfire Prevention Initiative Funding

The Regional Board has adopted a resolution supporting an application to the Union of BC Municipalities for grants to support two wildfire prevention projects. The first project would involve fuel modification treatment on just over 7.5-hectares in Mill Creek Regional Park. The second fuel modification project would be on just over five hectares in Black Mountain / sntsk‘il’ntən Regional Park. Since the inception of the funding program, the Regional District has received more than one million dollars for a variety of fuel modification projects

FrontCounter BC Referral Application

The Regional Board has given conditional support to a Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure application to FrontCounter BC. The application requests the withdrawal of 37.46-hectares of Crown land along Trepanier Road with the purpose of transferring the land as an addition to the Westbank First Nation reserves. The Board requests the concerns identified by the District of Peachland, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations and RDCO Parks Services and any issues identified by the City of West Kelowna be addressed or applied as conditions to the application.

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

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

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

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

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

Local chefs jazzed about making juice Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

In tandem with International Chefs Day, members of the Okanagan Chefs Association spent last Saturday morning juicing local apples with Frank Deiter’s Mobile Juice Factory at BC Tree Fruits.

Tonnes of apples were turned into litres of apple juice for the Kelowna Community Food Bank, in what’s become an annual tradition.

“We press the juices, box it, deliver it to the food bank, help stuff hampers and then deliver the hampers when Christmas comes around,” said Bernard Casavant, president of the Okanagan Chefs Association.

The idea, he explained, is to offer something nutritious to the community’s less fortunate. The other bonus is that the cooks and chefs who volunteer get a lesson in juice

making.

“A lot of the people here have never seen fresh pressed apple juice,” said Casavant.

And they got to see lots of it this year. Due to the unusual spate of warm weather, apples came off the tree at least three weeks earlier than usual.

When Casavant got the call that it was time to juice, it wasn’t possible for the chef association to take part due to commitments.

That said, the juicing

went ahead and 240 boxes were put together on Oct. 6.

For last Saturday’s contribution apples from BC Tree Fruits were squeezed and turned to pulp, with an estimated 150 more boxes expected to be made for the food bank, surpassing last year’s juice contribution of 240 juice boxes.

Next year, Casavant has high hopes that they’ll be able to do even better, perhaps adding a retail component so funds can

be raised for the food bank. “Their dollar goes so much further,” he explained.

In addition to learning how juice is made, families enjoyed games, face painting, apple bobbing and hot dogs from the barbecue.

Many also dropped

by BC Tree Fruits market and the cidery to enjoy its Broken Ladder Craft Cider made from local apples.

On International Chefs Day, chefs from 72 countries generate awareness of their profession by hosting events to raise funds or food-awareness in the community while helping local organizations.

UBCO students probe the meaning of life University may be about deeper thinking, but UBC Okanagan students will take on the ultimate philosophical question of ‘What is the meaning of life?’ at a panel forum Tuesday, Nov. 3, 6 p.m.

Called World Views, a group of students has organized an event that will include an open discussion from five different backgrounds and spiritual perspectives.

Andrew Kitchener, an engineering student who is helping to organize World Views, says the idea is to bring critical discussion to campus. The panelists include representatives from different spiritual perspectives including Christian, Sikh, First Nations, Muslim and atheism.

“We are not presenting religious views,” said Kitchener, a member of the Skeptics Club. “We want to see what philosophical questions our students have about reality, morals, suffering, or other world issues.

And our eventual goal is to bring critical thought and open discussion to campus. “ The forum will take place in the Administration Building Theatre, ADM 026, on the UBCO campus.

news _____________________________________________________________________ PROSPERA PLACE

Shania Twain pulled out all the stops in putting a signature closing to her live performance career before a sold-out crowd at Prospera Place on Tuesday night.

Twain has been on tour for the past six months after closing out her nightly show in Las Vegas. The tour came to a conclusion with venue stops in Victoria and Vancouver before arriving in the Okanagan.

From the multiple

costume changes with a propensity for knee high high-heeled boots to the seven-piece backup band, punctuated by four guitar players, and a laser light show bolstered by the occasional pyrotechnic blast, Twain reeled off her many hits throughout the show, the only recent offering being a ballad that was produced by David Foster.

Otherwise, despite being off stage for nearly a decade after going

through an ugly divorce from her husband and music collaborator Mutt Lange, followed by a fear she had to overcome of getting back up on stage, Twain was feeling both celebratory and also a bit melancholy at times as she interacted with the audience about this being her final show.

“It’s hard to say goodbye isn’t it?” she said to the audience at one point. “It’s so hard.”

She thanked her band

and the road crew, all 105 of them, for their support during the tour across North America the past six months, a musical army that consisted of 15 semi-trucks and 11 buses that transported 600 tonnes of stage equipment.

“That is a shitload of stuff,“ she said.

Twain was generous in pouring through her musical catalogue for the show, singing hit after hit including I’m Gonna

Getcha Good!, Up!, Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You), (If You’re Not In It For Love) I’m Outta Here!, Any Man Of Mine and Party For Two (which she performed with her opening act Bastian Baker).

Sitting on stage with a guitar, she gave a poignant rendition of Looks Like We Made It with a generous supply of audience participation, a song that seems more emotional now, perhaps, than originally intended since it was written with

her former husband.

She closed out in Los Vegas-fashion with From This Moment On, No One Needs To Know and That Don’t Impress Me Much, coming back for an encore, singing Man! I Feel Like A Woman.

If this is truly the end for Twain’s time on stage, she leaves behind a musical legacy unmatched by few performers in country or pop music, as she reminded her Okanagan fans at Prospera Place on Tuesday.

The City of Kelowna will receive $45,000 for a retrofit project from the provincial Community Energy Leadership Program (CELP).

The funding will support an energy efficiency retrofit project at Rutland Arena which will reduce energy demand by 2,660 gigajoules per year, saving $26,600 per year in operational costs and reducing the city’s carbon footprint by 131 tonnes per year.

“Partnerships make great things happen in Kelowna, benefiting the people that live here in a number of ways,” said Norm Letnick, Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country. “In addition to creating a greener community, residents will see a $26,600 reduction in municipal operation costs—which means tax dollars can be put to use in other priority areas.”

Terry Fox, A Lasting Hero!

By Hannah F.

On Wednesday, September 30th Watson Road had a Terry Fox Run and assembly. All 550 kids took some time off to celebrate Terry’s lasting courage. At the assembly, we watched a video, listened to numerous speeches, and then we took off! Some people thought that the run was too hard, but Terry did a marathon every day! We only ran for twenty minutes! The afternoon was a HUGE success.

Along with doing the run and the assembly, our school also did a fundraiser called ‘Toonies for Terry’. Everybody brought in one or more toonies, and made a dedication to someone who has had or has cancer. In total, we raised 1605 dollars! Yes, you heard me, 1605 dollars! And that was how our school celebrated Terry Fox, a lasting hero.

Sports WHL HOCKEY

Rockets and Cougars well acquainted whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

If the Kelowna Rockets and Prince George Cougars didn’t know each other’s tendencies inside out when the season began, there are no excuses now.

The Rockets and Cougars are about to meet for the fourth time in a two-week span when the B.C. Division rivals face off in WHL action Friday night at Prospera Place.

And while familiarity may breed contempt— or in some cases monotony—Rockets’ head coach Brad Ralph said seeing the same opponents four times in the last five games isn’t all bad.

“It’s good from a coaching perspective because the work is already done, there’s no more pre-scouting to be done, no mysteries about the team you’re playing,” said Ralph. “We know the (Cougars) are a good hockey team and how they play.

“It’s a challenge to

be ready every night, regardless of who you’re playing, so it’s not necessarily a bad thing to be seeing the same team.”

The Rockets (9-4-0-0) have won two of the first three meetings between the teams this season, including a 5-2 verdict last Friday in Kelowna.

Over-age forward Cole Linaker said seeing the Cougars yet again simply adds fuel to the longstanding rivalry.

“It reminds a bit of a playoff series, tempers might start to flare a little, seeing the same guys so much,” said Linaker, 20. “They’re coming out hard for sure, like every team that comes in here, we have a target on our backs. The (Cougars) want to come in here and take something, we want to stop them from doing that.”

On Saturday, the Rockets will close out a four-game home stand against the Lethbridge Hurrricanes.

start, Ralph expects the Rockets will have their hands full.

“They’re young and energetic, they play hard and they play fast,” Ralph said of the Hurricanes.

“They’d be a handful for anyone. We’ll have to be disciplined and stay out of the penalty, not give them any more chances than we have to.”

Game time both Friday and Saturday at Prospera Place is 7:05 p.m.

CHARTIER SIDELINED VS RUSSIANS

Centre Rourke Chartier will be kept out of the 2015 Canada-Russia

series game Nov. 9 in Kelowna due to injury.

The 19-year-old forward suffered an upper body injury on the team’s season opening road trip to Alberta and remains out of the Rockets line-up on a week-to-week basis.

“We want to be cautious with Rourke’s return to the line-up and the injury will keep him out of the Team WHL lineup for the Canada-Russia series,” said Rockets’ president and GM Bruce Hamilton.

Chartier and Nick Merkley were named to the team for the Nov. 9 game in Kelowna, the

first of the six-game series between the CHL and Team Russia.

NO CAPTAIN YET

Thirteen games into the Western Hockey League season, the Rockets have yet to name a captain.

And head coach Brad Ralph says there’s no rush to appoint one.

“As of right now, it’s leadership by committee,” Ralph said.

“We have a lot of leaders, there’s no urgency to single one guy out. We might go the whole year this way, we’ll see how it shakes out.”

Tyson Baillie, Cole

Linaker, Rourke Chartier and Rodney Southam currently serve as the team’s assistant captains.

Linaker said the absence of a designated captain is of little importance to him or his teammates.

“We all consider ourselves leaders, there are a lot more guys who lead on this team than just two or three,” said Linaker. “Whether or not the coaches pick one doesn’t really matter. The captaincy will take care of itself.” @capnewsports.ca

Voodoos battle for first under the lights The lights will be on tonight night at the Apple Bowl as week five of the B.C. high school football season kicks off.

At 4 p.m., the Rutland Voodoos (2-1) will play host to Seaquam Secondary (2-1).

The Voodoos and Seaquam are currently in a fourway tie for top spot in the Pacific Division.

“Only the top two get into the playoffs so it’s a must win game with only two games left,” said Rutland coach Peter McCall. “Should be exciting.”

Then at 6:30 p.m., it’s the Mt. Boucherie Bears (1-2-

1) taking on the unbeaten East Division-leading Terry Fox Ravens (4-0).

On Saturday, the Kelowna Owls (3-1) will battle the Centennial Centaurs (0-4) in a noon kick off on the CNC turf.

In action last weekend, Rutland dropped a 49-21 contest to the Handsworth Royals.

Dakota Robertson, Brayden Anderson and Matt Klak scored touchdowns for the Voodoos.

The Bears were 56-20 losers to the W.J. Mouat Hawks on Saturday in Abbotsford.

VALLEY FIELD HOCKEY…

An Okanagan Valley AAA girls field hockey champion will be crowned this weekend in Kelowna.

In Saturday’s semifinal on the CNC turf, the Mt. Boucherie Bears will take on the Pen Hi Lakers.

The winner will take on the KSS Owls at 3:30 p.m. for the valley title.

The Okanagan champ will earn a berth into the B.C. School Sports tournament Nov. 12 to 14.

Flight for Sun fans Fans of the Okanagan Sun can join their team in Saskatoon Saturday, Nov. 7 as the B.C. Conference football champs vie for their first Canadian Bowl title in 15 years.

The Sun has booked a charter flight for trip to Saskatchewan, as well as a block of rooms at the host hotel.

Warriors forward has ‘all the check marks’

whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Rylan Ferster wouldn’t have too many objections if someone were to offer him a roster full of players like Brett Mennear.

The West Kelowna Warriors’ head coach and GM says the 19-yearold forward’s value to the BCHL team comes in many forms.

“Brett is such a lowmaintenance guy, he comes to the rink and just has the same work ethic everyday,” Ferster said of Mennear. “He’s unbelievably fit, he always tests as one of the top guys.

“He’s a good teammate and a real team guy,” Ferster added. “Brett’s got all the check marks, he reflects how you want your team to play.”

Since moving with his family to West Kelowna eight years ago, Mennear

often entertained thoughts of playing junior hockey for his hometown team.

Now in his third full season with the Warriors, the 5-foot-9, 195-pound couldn’t conceive of a better path for his career to be on.

“It couldn’t be much better,” said Mennear, who has three goals and eight points in 15 games this season. “I get to live at home, I’m a few minutes from the rink and it’s a really good environment to play in.

“We have a team that’s always competitive and has a chance to win…I couldn’t be happier.”

Mennear’s contentment with his situation shows both on and off the ice. In addition to serving as an assistant captain, the stocky forward is one of his team’s most reliable players—game in, game

out.

“He’s defensively responsible, kills penalties, takes big draws for us, and chips in offensively,” Ferster said. “He’s a leader, a very valuable and dependable guy.”

Being relied upon in many different situations by his coaches and teammates on a nightly basis is largely what keeps Mennear motivated and on top of his game.

“I relish being a leader on the team, being a guy who’s counted on,” said Mennear, who played two seasons with the major midget Okanagan Rockets before joining the Warriors. “I like being in the spotlight, being looked to take a big draw, or be out on the ice when a game is on the line. I like being in the middle of things.”

Like the Warriors, the coaching staff at Bentley University also recognizes

the value in Mennear who has earned a scholarship at the Massachusettsbased school and expects to make the jump to the NCAA for the start of the 2017-18 season.

WARRIORS ADD GOALIE…

The Warriors this week acquired netminder Keelan Williams from the Camrose Kodiaks of the Alberta Junior Hockey League in exchange for forward Paul Lovsin.

Williams, 19, who spent last season and the start of this season with the Western Hockey League’s Kootenay Ice, was picked up by Camrose after being released.

To make room for Williams, the Warriors traded 19-year-old goaltender Forbes Plozaj to the Surrey Eagles for future considerations.

ASSOCIATION

SENIOR SLO-PITCH

Rutland Youth Soccer Association would like to thank our 2015 Sponsors…

Lidster golden at World Senior Games Kelowna’s Jim Lidster has added another shiny prize to his already vast collection of hardware in seniors’ slo-pitch softball.

Lidster, 83, helped the California Gold Rush to a gold medal in the 80+ division of softball at the World Senior Games last week in St. George, Utah.

The Kelowna senior now has 45 medals, 13 rings and three watches to show from Canadian and American tournaments during his 25 years of playing slopitch.

Lidster will turn 84 next February, but isn’t

the oldest player among the 14 local teams which make up the morning slopitch league in Kelowna.

“The progression from night league to retirement play keeps you off the couch, helps maintain coordination, and meet new friends you never forget,” said Lidster.

Kelowna’s retirement league will resume play next spring for the 2016 season.

Lidster keeps his skills sharp in the offseason, playing slo-pitch in Phoenix where he spends three months each winter.

Keep the kids safe is parents top job

Achieving Justice

PAUL HERGOTT

The protection of children’s legal rights (topic of my last two columns) is important, but doing our best to protect our children from being harmed in

the first place is even more so.

We do our best to keep our children safe in all sorts of life scenarios. It is important to recognize that one of the most dangerous places for our children is in an automobile, even if properly strapped into a car seat or booster seat. The starting point is our own road traffic behaviours. A substantial proportion of children’s claims are against a negligent parent.

Our driving culture is one where the task at hand, driving, takes a back seat in favour of daydreaming, thoughts of the office, fatigue, various “behind the wheel activities”, cellular phone conversations, texting, and other things that successfully compete for or interfere with our attention. It takes a conscious choice for each of us to drive different from the culture we are immersed in.

Our driving culture also continues to tolerate impaired driving. We are seldom at the extreme of the Florida alcoholic who recently was caught having her four year old blow into the interlock device that was installed on her vehicle, but impaired driving continues to occur all around us and it takes a conscious choice to plan ahead to ensure we do not end up in an impaired circumstance where we might make even poorer choices.

What about when we hand our children over into the care of others? It happens all the time when we get help from family members to get our children here and there, sometimes an older sibling, aunt, uncle or grandparent. It also happens when parents car-pool with others to get children to and from school, sporting and other events.

What steps do you take to ensure that those other people will keep your child safe? Apart from equipping them with a car/booster seat, we just assume they will be responsible drivers. Perhaps we should do more than that? Might it be sensible to ask if they ever talk on their cell phone while they drive, or if they’ve ever been handed a roadside suspension? You might not expect an honest answer, but bringing attention and awareness to road safety might have a helpful impact on their driving.

My 11 year old daughter was recently dropped off at a birthday party, with arrangements that the “party parent” would drop her off, with others, at a certain location. The party parent confirmed, when asked, that there would be enough seats for bums so that everyone would have a seatbelt. The party parent was wrong, and my daughter was dropped off without a seatbelt on.

Yes, I’m angry. My child will never again be in that parent’s care, but how could we have avoided that situation in the first place? One answer, I think, is empowering our children. We empower our children with regard to body awareness and sexual abuse (perhaps inadequately, but that’s another topic). How about empowering our children with regard to traffic safety?

I asked my daughter about what decisions she might have made, faced with an adult putting her in a vehicle without a seatbelt. It hadn’t occurred to her that she might have refused to get in the car. That’s my fault. I failed to empower her with that option.

Imagine empowering all of our children with such scripts as: “My daddy doesn’t allow me to drive with someone who talks on a cell phone while driving”; “My mommy doesn’t let me get into a vehicle with someone who has had any alcohol at all”; “My daddy doesn’t let me drive with someone who speeds.”

Not only will we be helping our children protect themselves from danger, we will be helping turn around the Titanic of a poor driving culture by raising a new generation of drivers with traffic safety consciousness.

MENTAL HEALTH

Former dragon promotes healthy workplace Dragon’s Den alumnus and a local software developer have joined forces to promote workplace mental health.

On November 4, Dragon emeritus W. Brett Wilson lends his voice to CMHA Kelowna’s Mental Health Voices breakfast along with a local tech company that specializes in helping employers promote healthy and safe workplaces.

Xilo, powered by EARA Technologies, saw employers buried in paper as they tried to keep track of Worksafe requirements, occupational health and safety meetings and individual employee needs. The company decided to develop a software solution—one that brings together the talents of rehabilitation and information technology professionals to make health and safety information available at the click of a mouse, anytime, anywhere.

“In short, we make it

easier to keep workers working,” said Monica Kyveris, VP sales and client relations at EARA Technologies. “Our human resources are our greatest assets and when they aren’t well, the business suffers too.”

The average company loses up to 12 per cent of its payroll to employee disability through loss of productivity and sick leave. “There is no question that an employee’s mental health is a key part of their productivity when they are at work, but there is also a key connection between mental health and an employee’s ability to return to work after an injury. This is why we are so proud to sponsor this event,” said Kyveris.

Former Dragon and Global Fitness owner, W. Brett Wilson, will provide a keynote speech providing personal and business insight on mental health in business and has donated several copies of one of his book

projects to be given away at the breakfast. Sick to Death of the Silence came out of Wilson’s desire to end the stigma associated with mental illness.

This event will engage the business community in conversations about mental health in the workplace and two local businesses will be presented a Mental Health Voices Award for demonstrating leadership and excellence in this area.

“We are very excited about bringing this event to our community,” said Shelagh Turner, executive director of CMHA Kelowna. “Every day 500,000 Canadians miss work due to mental illness. We want to share with businesses why they should care about mental health, what mental health looks like in the workplace and provide employers with low and no-cost ideas that they can implement right away.”

Mental Health Voices

Timmies delivers with Smiles The results are in. Kids across the Central Okanagan are smiling as Tim Hortons restaurants in the Central Okanagan donated $34,650 to YMCA of Okanagan.

The campaign, which ran from Sept.

14 to 20, saw thousands of Tim Hortons customers purchase and enjoy a Smile Cookie for $1. All proceeds from Smile Cookie sales were included in the donation.

“We’re proud of the growth and success of our Smile Cookie campaign,” said Chris Chapman, on behalf of the Kelowna, West Kelowna and Lake Country Tim Hortons restaurant owners.

“I can’t think of a charity that is more deserving or makes a bigger impact on the lives of kids in the Okanagan than YMCA of Okanagan.”

Funds from the donation go to the YMCA Strong Kids Healthy Snacks Program where the YMCA provides healthy snacks for children participating

in their preschool and child care programs.

“It is critical that we help children in our care get a healthy snack as part of their daily routine,” said Colleen Keeler, child care manager early years.

“Many kids in our programs come to us without having breakfast or without snacks during the day. Some parents cannot afford to provide their kids with adequate nutrition. These funds will ensure every child in our care has access to good food to help them learn, grow and thrive.”

Tim Hortons customers bought more Smile Cookies than ever in the Central Okanagan. In 2014, YMCA of Okanagan received a $32,000 donation from the campaign.

YMCA of Okanagan operates preschool and childcare programs at seven locations across Kelowna and West Kelowna, serving more than 11,500 healthy snacks per year.

Awareness raiser for youth in need takes a break The chocolate withdrawal I am about to face is my own fault.

Once again I failed to know when to shut up and I will now pay the ultimate price. Chocolate deprivation.

Normally by about now I would be safely gorging on several mini-chocolate bars, jelly beans, gummy bears (nothing like fresh gummy bears) and/or various other forms of candy and junk food.

In other words, test eating the goodies ready for Halloween handouts.

(Someone has to make sure they are safe and edible.)

Sigh.

Even thinking about the missing chocolate makes me feel sad and deprived.

In reality I never should have said a thing when Teresa suggested we just not bother with buying

Hodge Podge CHARLIE HODGE candy or decorating our house for Halloween.

I should have disagreed when she suggested no one shows up for trick or treat anymore, that no one cares.

If I had been thinking I would have countered her comment that one can never be too prepared, that we needed to stock up with crap food just in case.

Alas, I did not, and now the folly of my failure is affecting my diet.

Normally a few days before hobgoblins and ghosts rampage the neighbourhood I am happily tucked into bed early sampling a big bowl

of candies.

However, a dearth of trick or treaters in our neighbourhood the past five years has taken its toll.

Halloween is not what it used

to be.

Seems as a society we have lost a lot of the innocence and sense of adventure from the past when Halloween and other evenings of similar ilk seemed safer.

Apparently the urban Halloween legends of pins in food, pennies heated up, and other such nightmares eventually eroded the enjoyment of the long held fun door knocking tradition.

More and more parents are taking their youngsters to organized events or house parties and the visiting of neighbours for goodies

has faded. During the past five or six years the numbers of youngsters at our house have dwindled down to less than a dozen kids stopping by in an evening.

Last year only two kids showed up and that sealed the deal here I suppose.

So yesterday when Teresa suggested we not decorate with pumpkins, forget buying candy, and simply hide in the house —I foolishly agreed. (Must have been watching the hockey game and not really thinking).

The reality of my flippant reply, agreeing with her suggestion, has suddenly registered.

What the heck was I doing?

Hmm...I suppose it is not too late to maybe come up with a costume of my own.

Perhaps I could dress

up as a grouchy old man looking for chocolate or something. *** On another note, or perhaps non-note despite the encouraging (and one actual ‘demand’), the annual Night of the Arts will not be taking place again this year.

After 10 straight years of holding the fundraising night of music to raise awareness about youth in need, addictions and homeless issues in Kelowna, Curtis Tulman and I decided to wrap up the event.

Originally, the first Night of the Arts was simply meant to be a one-off event to boost awareness of those issues in our community.

Neither Curtis, John Adams, myself or any of the other long standing volunteers of the event originally planned it to become an annual concert.

The success and popularity of the evening simply led things that way.

Curtis, John, and I had a wonderful time making the night of magic take place, but after 10 years we’ve decided to take a break and put our dwindling energies to other things.

While we’re not sure if the Night of the Arts may return, I am thrilled and thankful for all those who assisted over the years.

I can’t begin to guess the amount of money raised over that time but I do know the awareness, fellowship, and fun was well worth the time and energy.

During the 10 years of shows a plethora of talent donated their time on stage. Here is a list of those various performers.

Fundraising campaign exceeds goals An ambitious four-year campaign to raise money for UBC Okanagan students and research has resulted in more than $100 million in donations towards higher education in the Interior.

Launched in September 2011, the Start An Evolution campaign aimed to raise $100 million and double the number of UBC alumni engaged in the life of the university.

“This was a tremendously ambitious goal for our campus

and community in just five years,” said Ross Langford, chair of the campaign team.

“It gives me tremendous pleasure to announce we have exceeded our fundraising goal by nearly $100,000 and our engagement target by 20 per cent.”

As a result of fundraising efforts, the campaign raised $100,096,345.

In the last year, 1,600 alumni volunteered, attended special events, or gave back to the

Winery hosts upcoming conference on wireless technology health hazards

Three of the world’s top researchers and lecturers are coming to Kelowna to participate in a conference on Nov. 14 called Wireless Technology’s Deadly New Epidemics.

The forum, sponsored

by SafeZone EMF Consulting, will be hosted

by Summerhill Pyramid Winery in Kelowna, taking place from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. with an organic lunch provided.

This conference will cover new epidemics that have been created by technology over the last three decades.

Participants will learn how wireless technology is connected to many new diseases and the increases recently seen in old health problems that are no longer rare.

OKANAGAN COLLEGE

The construction company overseeing the renovation and expansion of Okanagan College’s new trades training facilities has made a major donation to support the college’s efforts to elevate the learning environment for

tradespeople.

PCL Constructors Westcoast Inc. has pledged $75,000 to the Okanagan College Foundation’s Bright Horizons Building for Skills fundraising campaign for the new Trades Training Complex

at the Kelowna campus.

“Okanagan College is a leader in producing qualified skilled tradespeople for our province and our country,” said Todd Craigen, PCL’s vicepresident and district manager for the B.C. region.

“These tradespeople are on the frontlines of jobsites everyday building the projects that PCL is renowned for across North America.”

“We continue to hear from government and from our industry partners that the province could be facing a significant skills shortage across the trades and technical sector over the next decade,” added Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton.

“With more than 160,000 new job openings projected in the trades in B.C. by 2022, this new facility will allow

PCL donates $75,000 to trades complex campaign

PCL has made a donation of $75,000 to the new Trades Training Complex campaign. In photo above are (from left) Okanagan College president Jim Hamilton, Okanagan College Foundation executive director Kathy Butler, PCL vice-president and district manager for the BC Region Todd Craigen, and PCL manager special projects division Gary McEwan. us to continue to build the Okanagan as a hub for trades training, which is timely for the province and beneficial for our regional economy.

“More than 40 per cent

of our trades students come from outside of the Okanagan.”

Over the past year, 1,926 full-time equivalent students enrolled in foundation or

apprenticeship training at the Kelowna campus in 2014-15. The new complex will be able to accommodate more than 2,600 students per year.

This project marks the third major construction project that PCL has partnered with the college on since 2006, when construction began on the LEED Gold certified Centre for Learning at the Kelowna campus.

Following that project, PCL completed The Jim Pattison Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Building Technologies and Renewable Energy Conservation at the Penticton campus in 2011.

The Okanagan College Foundation Bright Horizons fundraising campaign has a goal to raise $7 million in capital and program/student support for the new trades training complex.

Chance to fix broken household items

Do you have a household item in need of repair, don’t want to toss it out, but you’re stumped on how to fix it?

A bike with a flat, a toaster that just won’t toast, a lamp in need of rewiring, even clothing that could use some mending?

If so, the Repair Café could be just the event you’re looking for!

Hosted by the Regional Waste Reduction Office, the Repair Café takes place at the Okanagan College Center for Learning, 1000 KLO Rd., on Saturday Nov. 7, from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

And it’s all free!

“The whole idea of this event is to prevent things from landing in the garbage unnecessarily— in a nutshell, don’t toss it, repair it,” said waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart.

“It’s also about reviving the whole culture of repair, to get people thinking well maybe I can use this thing again, about changing our habits from a throw away to a fix it society.

“And a big part of it all is showing people they can actually repair things themselves, so empowerment is a big piece of the puzzle.”

Stewart adds volunteers are the backbone of their Repair Café events.

“Most of our fixers are simply hobbyists who enjoy helping others.

They’re all volunteering their time,” she said.

“They vary in age and background, just like those that come to these events with broken items to be fixed.

“The Repair Café not only offers the opportunity to learn new skills, but also the chance to connect with skilled people.”

Stewart adds The Repair Café concept started in the Netherlands and while still somewhat new here in the Central Okanagan, it’s really catching on.

“This is our third Repair event, and judging from participation at the first two, people love this idea.”

Warm heart of Quebec City–an American’s view Ellen Creager contributor

ELLEN CREAGER

QUEBEC CITY—Shop windows are dominated by winter parkas. A cool, bitter wind blows off the St. Lawrence River. The trees are turning quickly now.

On Fabrique Street, I hurry past a fur store with my inadequate raincoat and fleece, wishing I had a hood. Or gloves. Or both. In this brief season, fall, North America’s most European city glows with brisk vitality. It has broad shoulders and French-

ties, both the past and present. And that sensibility is why Quebec City is also regularly named one of the most romantic cities in the world.

This time of year, it gets dark earlier each day.

Already at 2:45 in the afternoon, I feel the hint of winter to come, and how Quebec fights the darkness.

I walk uphill toward the windswept river. I cut through a small alley that doubles as a market.

There, artists sell touristy images in oil, acrylic and

Canadian sturdiness. City hall is decorated with giant pumpkins. Spindly geraniums are on their last legs in the flower pots. Cruise ships on colour tours of Canada dock at the port, and visitors pour into the winding streets of the lower town.

Most Americans have been to Toronto, or maybe Vancouver or even Montreal. But Quebec City is far different than those large metropolises.

Here, everything is about New France, North America’s French

watercolour, all reds and greens and bright blues.

There is a gay feeling of warm colour and light in this tiny alley. Nearby, St. Louis Street also is full of bright colours—on the shutters, awnings, and in shop window displays— that soften forbidding grey stone and chilly blue skies.

Inside the luxurious Fairmont Chateau Frontenac hotel, the tradition of afternoon tea is another good insulator against the clutches of winter-in-waiting.

There, a waiter serves a gleaming silver pot of

steaming tea along with precise little appetizers.

The room is hushed, It is warm in here.

Couples linger. Nothing is rushed. It feels like a warm blanket, sitting in this room with its wide windows.

One thing about Quebec City. Yes, the language is all French. But this place feels curiously familiar to Americans.

Many places in the United States, including Detroit, were once part of Quebec and New France, right up until the French lost their vast holdings to the British in 1763.

Even today, freighters you see on the St. Lawrence River likely have come from the Great Lakes, connected by a ribbon of water.

Many names in Michigan (including Detroit, “the straits”) still resonate of French Canada. Quebec City still lives amid history.

Madame Cadillac herself could walk down the street and feel at home.

A heavy defensive stone wall still marches around the old town, black canons lining the ramparts. (Actually, at this moment they appear to be trained directly on the

white Caribbean Princess cruise ship docked below, so watch out, cruise passengers.)

Even the stone house that belonged to 16th century explorer Louis Joliet is pragmatically used as the ticket booth for the funicular hillside tram that connects the upper town to the lower town.

Last winter saw recordbreaking cold in Quebec City, with an average daytime high of -7.8 C in February. Still, people came to the Christmas

Ford Transit vans coolest customizations

And that enables owners to customize their vehicles almost beyond showfloor recognition.

The manufacturer has encouraged owners to submit pictures of how they have modified their vans and have received some examples of some very clever customizations.

For example, So-Gnar’s Creative Hub is a shredready Ford Transit and is modified with a custom boot dryer, snowboard rack, tuning bench and portable DJ booth to make snowboarding even more fun for its riders. “It’s an absolute dream of a creative hub that we can do anything out of,” says So-Gnar CEO Pat Milbery.

Plenty of ‘zoom zoom’ in Mazda’s CX-3 crossover

By Lorne Drury Mazda has always had a knack for putting “zoom zoom” into all of its vehicles as its marketing message has promised for all these years.

So it should come as no surprise that the latest addition to the Mazda lineup, the 2016 CX-3 sub-compact

crossover SUV is just as much a driver’s car as all the others in the fleet.

The CX-3 is the fifth model in Mazda’s new generation of vehicles that offer Skyactiv technology and what they call their KODO —Soul of Motion design.

The small crossover SUV segment is a relatively new one in the automotive D# 5601

Turner

Volkswagen

world, but small is big, especially in Canada, so Mazda has high hopes for the CX-3, built on the sub-compact Mazda2 platform.

The Japanese automaker no longer brings the Mazda2 into Canada, but the CX-3 should more than make up for any lost sales if early indications prove correct.

Evoque HSE for city and off-road Mazda CX-3 MAZDA FROM B3

By Neil Moore It’s no surprise that compact SUVs and crossovers are top sellers in Canada.

Our weather often sucks, so the availability of AWD makes sense.

But practicality isn’t the only factor in purchasing a ride, otherwise we’d all be driving minivans.

Elements like style, interior craftsmanship, acceleration, corner carving ability, and in the case of SUVs, the possibility of taking the vehicle off road without burying it up to the axles, all enter into the equation.

The 2016 Evoque, despite being near the bottom of Range Rover’s pricing ladder, is arguably the most head turning of the lot.

The Evoque is relatively low and wide, with a chopped roofline that’s sloped backwards and ends in a whopping roof spoiler.

Blend in a pair of narrow-slit headlights, a super high beltline and tapered side windows, and the look is positively badass.

Sure, rear visibility is lacking, but it does have side mirrors and a rearview camera.

Massive wheel arches, pushed to the corners, along with standard 18-inch and available 20-inch alloys create a firmly planted stance. Which the Evoque has, whether driving on or off the asphalt.

Indeed, this compact SUV may look like an urban

Neil Moore

poser, but it’s every bit a Range Rover in terms of off-road ability.

Let’s start with its 8.3inch ground clearance, 25-degree approach and 33-degree departure angle, not to mention the ability to wade through nearly 20 inches of water.

Four-wheel-drive is on demand, via an Active Driveline system that decouples at steady speeds above 35 km/h to save on fuel. If it detects any slippage, rear wheels re-engage within 300 milliseconds.

Like its more costly siblings, the Evoque employs a driver-selectable Terrain Response system.

You can toggle between four modes, although I left it in “General driving” most of the time.

ATPC works like cruise control for off roading at speeds from about 2-30 km/h.

Power comes from a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder that delivers 240 hp and 250 lb/ft of torque starting at a low 1,750 rpm.

It’s coupled to a nine-speed automatic that quickly

Range Rover Evoque HSE 2016. and quietly changes cogs, whether you’re light on the pedal—or not.

This powertrain won’t match its 510-hp supercharged V8 cousins, but it can still take the 1,670 kg (3,682 lb) Evoque from rest to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds.

Probably not with the shifter in “D,” where the system defaults to Eco mode and starts in second gear, but in Sport mode, this Rover does live up to its aggressive styling, with a sharper throttle and later, more aggressive shifts.

Paddle shifters allow you to choose your own gears, but rowing up and down through nine of them quickly grows old.

CONTRIBUTED

The interior is nicely put together with plenty of soft touch, brushed aluminum finishers and double-stitched Oxford leather upholstery. Instruments and controls get a modern and intuitive layout.

Like all Range Rovers, there’s no shortage of upgrades for the Evoque. Like the Luxury Seating package for $1,700 (front seat heating/cooling and massage; rear seat heating), Driver Assist ($2,700 includes parking assist, lane keeping assist, surround camera, blind spot monitor, etc.) or the In Control connectivity package for $700.

Cargo space isn’t overly generous, but Evoque’s

575 litres behind the 60/40 second row and 1,445 litres with them folded flat is competitive with BMW X3 and Mercedes-Benz GLK. The as-tested $56,490 Evoque HSE, however, isn’t really about cargo schlepping, as one could purchase a more capacious, plainJane SUV for a lot less.

If, however, you’re shopping for a moderately practical family ride—with loads of attitude and off-road ability this one’s worth a look.

What’s Best: Edgy styling.

What’s Worst: Poor rear visibility.

What’s Interesting: Looks urban but has serious offroad ability.

Wheels.ca

When you park the CX-3 next to its CX-5 sibling, there’s no questioning the Mazda DNA, particularly from the rear.

The CX-3 appears to be a shorter, lower version of the CX-5, a hit from the get-go from Mazda when it debuted in 2013.

But why the CX-3 when Mazda already has the hatchback Mazda3 Sport, which is similar in size and utility? It’s because of the fickle nature of consumers who are quickly gravitating away from sedans, hatchbacks and particularly wagons to crossovers and sport utes.

The CX-3 is an ideal vehicle for young families or couples. Its size makes it small enough to manoeuvre through clogged city streets and urban parking lots, yet with enough cargo space to satisfy most appetites.

Being a sub-compact, legroom was just adequate for this six-footer. However, the seat was comfortable with just the right adjustability, while the steering column both tilts and telescopes.

The interior is nicely finished, particularly at the GT level with leather upholstery accented by dark red stitching and aluminum-look metallic accents.

The GT is one of three trim levels in Mazda’s CX-3 Canadian lineup, starting with the GX ($20,695-$22,695) the mid-trim GS ($22,695$26,195) and GT ($28,995$30,495).

Only one engine is offered in the 2016 CX-3, the same 2.0-litre Skyactiv inline four-cylinder powerplant as is found in the CX-5 GX model.

The GX and GS offer a choice of front- or all-wheel drive (AWD) and the GT comes in AWD only.

Wind and road noise in the cabin is kept to a minimum with good use of insulation There is a seven-inch display screen at the top of

Lorne Drury

the centre stack for audio and navigation, while other information is displayed on gauges directly in front of the driver. There is also a handy head-up display at the base of the windshield, directly in front of the driver.

Outside, the styling is bold with powerful lines, a short rear overhang and a solid, planted look on the pavement. The face is also bold, centred around the grille that extends through the chromed signature wings into the headlamps.

Power is adequate for any driving situation and the ride and handling are first rate.

All in all, the CX-3 has a lot to offer. Good looks, decent performance and an upscale interior, particularly in GT trim.

While Mazda looks to millennials as the target market, empty nesters will undoubtedly find the CX-3 to their liking because it’s right-sized for today’s crowded urban environment.

What’s Best: Good looks, decent performance and ‘right-sizing’ make the CX-3 a desirable urban vehicle.

What’s worst: Second-row legroom is cramped, as one would expect in a subcompact.

What’s interesting: This segment is likely to boom as consumers gravitate away from sedans to crossover SUVs. Lorne Drury is an automotive reporter for Metroland Media.

Culture ENTERTAINMENT: WHAT’S ON

‘Blues Boss’ headlines MS chapter fundraiser The Okanagan chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada is staging the ‘Moonlight & Mistletoe’ winter concert fundraiser featuring music Kenny “Blues Boss” Wayne and his nine-piece band, a silent auction and a photobooth with Santa and holiday costume accessories to help get concert-goers in the Yuletide spirit.

Kenny Wayne

Wayne was born in Spokane but raised in New Orleans, and his music recalls the era when piano players like Fats Domino, Amos Milburn, and Bill Doggett worked the chitlin’ circuit on the “strolls” in dozens of American cities.

Wayne has been a traveling musician almost all his life, playing in and seeing the world from Texas to Hawaii, from Peoria to Paris.

Rediscovering his own blues roots long ago sent his career into overdrive, thanks to his fresh approach to old music, the drive and roaring good-time attitude of his live performances, and his smartly original selfpenned songs.

The fundraiser is cosponsored by Q103.1,

Pilgrim & Pearl Oyster Bar, The Italian Table, and The Revival Group, with proceeds going to the Okanagan MS chapter, staying in Okanagan communities to fund MS support services, programs, and advocacy.

A portion of the money raised will also contribute to Multiple Sclerosis research initiatives at the University of British Columbia, one of the top research facilities in the country.

Tickets can be purchased at the following locations: • The MS Society Okanagan chapter office, 1855 Kirschner Rd., Kelowna (please email sarah.taylor@mssociety.ca to arrange) • Pilgrim & Pearl Oyster Bar, 1675 Abbott St., Kelowna • The Italian Table: 2402 Highway 97, Kelowna CONCERT Dan Mangan Saturday, Nov. 21 Kelowna Community Theatre 1375 Water St. Kelowna It’s been nearly a decade since Dan Mangan took to the road as a solo performer in Canada.

Beginning on Nov. 18, Mangan will make stops in smaller cities across Western Canada, reinterpreting songs from his latest album, Club Meds, as a solo performer.

It is no easy task to reimagine a record normally performed by Mangan and his long-time band mates, now officially titled Blacksmith.

Members of Vancouver’s experimental music scene, Blacksmith bring a stark glassy edge

between raggae and rock captured in the groups high energy shows.

The band currently consists of Gordie Johnson, guitar/ vocals; Garry Lowe, bass; Mr. Chill Hoppe, harmonica/sax/melodica; Friendlyness, keyboards/ toasting; and Stephane Bodean Beaudin, drums.

In 2010, his sophomore album Nice, Nice, Very Nice garnered a Polaris Music Prize shortlist nomination.

exhibition entitled Parallel Journey: Works on Paper (1975-2015).

The suitcases are strangely fitting as many of these works were completed while the artist traveled to various locations around the world during the past four decades.

The result is a visually rich show, packed with works that provide visitors with an intimate and captivating experience.

Mackenzie is a nationally known, Vancouver-based artist, admired for her largescale works with paint on canvas.

Less known are her works on paper often created while traveling, which she produces voluminously as a tandem practice (or what might be considered a parallel creative journey) to her big paintings.

Somewhere between jottings and “finished” works intended for public exhibition, these small paintings speak to the deepest level of human creativity.

They function at times as glimpses into this intelligent artist’s psyche or soul. Visitors will get to see this in Mackenzie’s works on paper, from her student etchings created while studying printmaking as an undergraduate at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, to her work throughout the 1990s that incorporated the artist’s interest in neural mapping: the charting of brain and nerve impulses.

This interest also led to her to begin combining images and motifs from city maps, of all time periods, with images of the human brain.
