Kelowna directors upset by temporary reprieve for Central Okanagan East director Patty Hanson Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

A Central Okanagan Regional District board director was given a temporary reprieve from facing censure and sanction penalties imposed by her fellow board members.

At a special meeting Thursday, Patty Hanson, the Central Okanagan East area director, was to get an opportunity to defend herself against an accusation she divulged confidential information from the board’s strategic

planning workshop held in West Kelowna back in May. But the meeting came to an abrupt end, and was ultimately postponed because Hanson did not have her lawyer present.

According to a report by board chair Gail Given, despite the workshop facilitator gaining consensus from those attending, including Hanson, that what was said at the workshop would remain confidential and Given reminding participants of that three times over

the two-day workshop, Hanson subsequently told Okanagan Film Commissioner Jon Summerland that the board did not see the value of the commission.

In a subsequent letter from Summerland to RDCO chief administration officer Brian Reardon, Summerland said he feared for his livelihood after hearing from Hanson because he sensed funding for the commission could be cut in 2016.

On Thursday, Given

said the information Summerland relayed in his letter about what he said Hanson told him was not only confidential but incorrect.

Thursday’s special board meeting, despite being billed as open, was quickly closed to the public and the media following receipt of a letter from Hanson’s lawyer just 20 minutes before the board sat down to hear from Hanson and Summerland.

An hour later, when the meeting was reopened to the public and

the media, the content of Hanson’s lawyer’s letter was not revealed but she was asked if she wanted a lawyer present.

At first non-committal, saying she had come to the meeting prepared to participate without a lawyer, Hanson decided at the meeting she would feel more comfortable with her lawyer present.

It was then that West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater moved to have the meeting postponed until lawyers for both

Full-on winter has arrived at Big White

Jean Russell

jrussell@kelownacapnews.com

“It’s just like January or February—amazing,” said a skier of the Big White ‘champagne powder,’ huffing gently as he shucked his gear at the Happy Valley day lodge.

Taking a mid-morning break from the deep, fluffy powder, it was the earliest season opening at Big White he could remember.

It was in the fall of ’95, maybe it was ’96, around Halloween, is how Matt and Kyle remember it— the other early season opening of Big White lifts.

They remember it fondly.

The locals, riding Big White’s Ridge Rocket lift Wednesday, were there to hit more and better powder than even that remarkable year offered.

There was an El Nino, they recall, just like this year.

While Vancouver area ski hills and Whistler Mountain prepare to open this weekend, Big White Ski Resort opened on Nov. 13 with 46 cm of fresh snow up top.

As of Thursday, the alpine base had grown to 118 cm, with a cumulative snowfall of 177 cm.

And that’s all powder— there’s no need to supplement with snowmaking machines.

On Saturday, Nov. 21, both the Bullet and Black Forest chairlifts will be operating, in addition to the Ridge Rocket and village access lifts—Lara’s Gondola and Plaza Chair.

Though not packed on this early weekday visit, the day lodge in Big White Village is busy with skiers and staff.

It’s been a challenge staff members seem to have easily met to get up and running for the early opening which was a surprise even to them.

But already the crew at the main ticket office look comfortably settled in to their routine, greeting customers with a smile.

Manager Manon Maley, from Quebec, has been at Big White for seven years, “working for the company for five years.”

“The company” is the Schumann family-owned resort facilities on Big White Mountain.

From Australia, Desmond Schumann bought the property in 1986. It remains a hands-on operation for subsequent generations.

Maley says she has always felt supported and respected while working for the Schumann family.

“It’s a great place to work. You get to take the morning off on a powder day—it doesn’t get any better than that.”

Inside the same day lodge, an extensive variety of rental equipment is available.

David Swan, better known as Salty, manages the downhill, snowboard, cross-country ski, and snowshoe rental facility, along with all the accessories that go with each snow sport—boots, poles, helmets.

Every age, size and ability level is taken into consideration when matching equipment to client.

“Just because of the early opening we’re still getting set up,” said Salty.

Last year’s rentals are repaired, edges sharpened and bases

The early opening was “definitely” a happy surprise for everyone.

“The snow we have is superb. I was out there this morning just checking on our coverage, so we can start setting our high performance gear up,” Salty said.

“We’ve been training our staff for a long time

so we were able to get them up to scratch.”

And four returning staff members help the situation.

From the south coast of New South Wales in Australia, this is Salty’s fourth year with Big White. With a long-term girlfriend and two pugs, he loves his mountain lifestyle.

“It’s a great way of life.

I like living an active and

physical lifestyle. I love hiking, skinning, skiing, snowboarding, playing a little bit of hockey on the ice (at Happy Valley) when it opens up.

“It’s a healthier lifestyle than I would be living anywhere else.”

Outside there’s a grey/ black hue to the clouds, promising more snow but holding back for the day skiers.

Englishman from East Yorkshire, is just finishing up giving a private snow board lesson.

This is his ninth year at Big White, where he lives all year long, working in food services and with the fire department in the summers.

His days of chasing winter 12 months a year are done.

“Oh no, I need my summer. There’s a real

community up here in the summer. I’m on with the fire department as well, so it’s a really good way to keep contributing. I love it up here.”

Carlile’s boss, ‘Clipboard’ Bob Casson, earned his nickname the obvious way. He’s in charge of ski school lessons so keeping it all in order requires close attention to his lists.

They teach everyone from kids to octogenarians, any type of snow sport they prefer.

Ten years with Big White’s ski school, Clipboard Bob has instructors who he first saw when they were kids learning how to ski.

The school even offers Big White staff members free lessons.

Taking a ski on the main groomed runs, conditions are as good as mid-winter.

There’s soft groomed corduroy to float across with patches of shin-deep powder to punch through along the edges.

Early season warnings remain in place, however, as skiers are asked to stay on the groomed runs as the smaller trees in the glades are not covered up just yet.

recent terrorism attacks around the globe.

Nearly 100 students wearing mourningblack gathered for the event that featured 10 speakers from a number of the university’s cultural groups.

Their aim, explained

the event’s organizer Ryan Kaila, was to stand together and remember those who have suffered and bring light to the darkness surrounding the world today.

Darkness, explained several students, that has seeped into Kelowna.

Adnan Bhat, who spoke on behalf of the school’s Muslim Association.

“People say, ‘Where are the Muslims, why are they not condemning these attacks?’ In reply to that I will quote Dr. Johnathan Brown from Georgetown University, when he was asked the same question.

He said, ‘What universe do you live in?’”

Muslims, said Bhat, have been tripping over themselves to condemn terrorism and extremism for 15 years now.

“All you have to do is Google ‘Muslims condemn,’ and look for yourselves,” he told the crowd.

Even their condemnation, however, hasn’t done anything to stop the terrorists, and a solution to their ongoing misdeeds will require involvement from all communities—western and Islamic alike, said Bhat.

He also pointed out that it’s important for Canadians to remember that Syrian refugees are not the enemy, they’re escaping one.

And, he said, Canada has a stringent screening process that he trusts.

“I know one thing for sure, if we want to succeed we have to remain fully human,” he said.

“To close our hearts to love and other humans, we have already lost.”

A number of local organizations have stepped up and pledged their support of efforts to bring refugees to the area.

The Catholic Diocese of Nelson, Mission Creek Alliance Church and United Churches have all sponsored families.

At least one family has arrived, while others are expected in coming weeks and months.

The province has also set up a toll free number at 1-877-952-6914 that private sponsors and community groups can call to get help navigating the bureaucracy of refugee sponsorship. @kelownanewsKAT

Kaila said that his fellow UBC Okanagan student Rhoma Khurram Nawaz recently experienced some of the anti-Islam sentiment that has turned up in larger urban centres this week.

“She went to a bar downtown and was refused entry. They weren’t allowing anyone from ‘Arabia,’” said Kaila, quoting the person who barred the UBC Okanagan student who had used her Pakistanissue ID at the door of the unnamed establishment.

Kaila said the account of racism “hurt” and didn’t represent the harmony that students at the university enjoy.

Nawaz has refused to name the business and when she spoke on behalf of the school’s Pakistan association, she didn’t touch on the incident, instead offering a message of compassion.

“It makes us sad when we see hatred and racism …It is just confusion and misinformation that makes people feel this way, and I hope we as students at UBC Okanagan can play a part in changing that,” Nawaz said.

A similar message came from each speaker, along with a call for further empowerment through education.

As became clear in the hours following the Paris attack, there is more focus on violence against western nations than there is for their Muslim counterparts, even though the attacker is the same.

Just the day before the Paris attacks that left 129 dead, two terroristled suicide bombings in Beirut left 41 dead.

On Friday, another suicide bomber targeted the Baghdad funeral of a political enemy, killing 18.

There were no social media outpourings of grief or profile picture filters for Beirut and Baghdad, as there was for Paris.

“These attacks are almost always linked to Islam and Muslims,” said

The Canadian Mental Health Association and British Columbia Hockey League have teamed up to combat mental illness.

The two organizations launched the partnership, titled Talk Today, in November.

Talk Today is based on a model that was used in a partnership between the CMHA and Ontario Hockey League last year, and it has four main agreements.

The first agreement is that if teams are concerned about the mental health of a player, CMHA guarantees to talk to them just like they would for anyone else.

Second, teams will provide CMHA with the opportunity to liaise with players with the goal of

every team eventually having its own mental health ambassador.

The agreement will also provide a game event for CMHA and mental health where they can talk about mental health at the arena on game day, fundraise for mental health, and other activities.

The final agreement is the one Candace Giesbrecht, director of community engagement and fundraising for CMHA Kelowna, is most excited about.

“The fourth part is training, and the training happens in two parts,” Giesbrecht explained.

“One with the players, and one with the families and billet families.

“And then how do you have a conversation and open that up.

“It doesn’t train people to be counsellors, but just to be able to recognize and understand that sometimes something as simple as a conversation can open the door to people getting the help they need.”

Myles Mattila is a forward for the Okanagan Rockets of the British Columbia Major Midget League.

Mattila has been an advocate for mental health awareness in sports, particularly hockey, for several years.

He believes this new partnership will be fantastic for everyone involved, especially the players.

“I think it’s great for hockey players because there is a lot of stress

for players, coaches and parents,” Mattila said.

“Getting traded from B.C. to Quebec, for example, and the other person has to come from Quebec to the BCHL, can be difficult.

“I think it’s great when someone from across Canada gets to come to the BCHL and can rely on something like Talk Today, because it can be difficult for players to get used to new teams and new billet families.”

Mattila noted it also gives players the opportunity to open up about mental illness and to learn to recognize the signs in teammates that they may be struggling with it.

Although Talk Today was just recently launched, CMHA Kelowna has already met with the coach and chaplain for their local BCHL team, the West Kelowna Warriors, to begin working on the four aspects of the agreement.

In addition to Talk

Today, CMHA is also asking people to take a pledge for mental health.

“We’re taking it city wide, and the pledge is very simple,” Giesbrecht said.

“We’re asking people to get loud with their voices, get loud with their time, get loud with their resources and to break the silence that’s associated with mental illness.

“Our goal in the coming year is that every citizen in our community has at least one opportunity to sign the pledge.

“By taking the pledge you’re saying, ‘If I’m struggling I’ll talk to somebody for help, if I see somebody struggling I’ll reach out to them and I’ll promise to get loud.’”

Giesbrecht added their goal is to have 13,000 people sign the pledge, which would be about half the number of people in Kelowna who will experience mental illness this year.

Give it up 4 Kids campaign launched Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com

United Way is attacking poverty, specifically when it affects children, throughout the Okanagan.

On Nov.14, the Central and South Okanagan Similkameen United Way in Kelowna and North Okanagan United Way in Vernon launched the joint Give it up 4 Kids campaign.

The campaign runs until Dec.13, which is also the date of the CSOS United Way’s 65th anniversary.

Give it up 4 Kids is part of United Way’s annual campaign

to battle poverty, and it has a specific focus on children. United Way is aiming to raise $65,000 between the two branches by utilizing social media.

“It’s getting people to post on their Facebook and Twitter feeds and challenge others to take up the cause,” described CSOS United Way executive director Shelley Gilmore.

“The idea is what are you going to give up in your everyday life that could make a difference for a child living in poverty?

Examples would be $5 for a latte, $10 for a movie night out.

‘Would you give that up to make sure a kid has a meal, that

they have a safe and warm place to live?”

Donations can be made by texting ‘giveitup4kids’ to 20222.

Once a donation is made, the social media aspect of the campaign kicks in.

Donors are challenged to take a selfie photo with what they gave up, then post it on social media and challenge five or more friends to do the same thing.

“We had a leftover takeaway container here in the office,” Gilmore explained.

“One worker gave up going out for lunch, so took a picture with the container to represent the lunch. I gave up dinner out,

By working together, the two Okanagan-based United Way branches are trying to show the entire Okanagan Valley and all of its residents they can and will make a difference for children living in poverty.

Register for CAN programs The Canucks Autism Network (CAN) first came to Kelowna in June 2014, offering a family camp to families who have children with autism.

In August of last year, the group organized its first family skate and then offered its learn to skate program, then expanding to soccer at the start of this year and introducing basketball as well as social programs and fitness for teens and young adults with autism.

There are currently 90 members signed up for CAN in Kelowna.

Registration for its winter programs opens on Monday, Nov. 23, at noon, and continues next week until Friday, Nov. 27.

To take part in the CAN programs, families need to become members with CAN at a cost of $25 per year. Beyond that there are no additional fees to participate in the high-quality, adaptive programs. All children are provided with one-to-one support in each of our programs.

The following programs will be offered in Kelowna during the winter session: Skate (ages 4-15), Soccer (ages 5-11, open to siblings), Basketball (ages 7-15), Fitness (ages 14 & up) and Social programs (ages 1630).

CAN says its registration fees are kept low thanks to its sponsors, one in Kelowna being the Kelowna Rockets Alumni Foundation, which this past year started a threeyear commitment to raise $100,000 to go towards CAN through its alumni golf tournament.

CAN chief executive officer Katy Harandi says the support CAN has received in Kelowna has been excellent.

“Every year we aim to reach new communities and new families, with the ultimate goal of reaching every household affected by autism in the province. Our presence in Kelowna is an important step in this direction,” Harandi said.

There are currently have 15 staff members in Kelowna who work directly with the participants in our programs.

Farmers sell land to have cushy retirement To the editor: We picked berries there for many years and the farmer earned a good living because he was very good at farming.

LETTER OF THE WEEK Now that he says he is finished with farming, he wants to cap off his retirement by selling his six acres of prime farmland to developers so he may live in comfort in his old days.

If we continue to release farmland to developers soon there will be no more farmland available.

There comes a time when we have to say no.

The farmer is well aware that he may sell his six acres to a new farmer, move into a retirement

home and enjoy his last days in peace. He is not forced to sell to developers. Just because the farm has neighbours does not make it unsuitable for farming. It is in a place on Benvoulin where a dense development would add considerable congestion to the already busy traffic on the main road.

The Bennett family also wants to remove 25 acres of prime farmland on Springfield Road between Fortis and the mega church. This is also prime but the owners claim that it should be developed into condos and 200,000 sq. ft. of retail space thus increasing the already heavy traffic on Springfield Road.

We should say no to this also.

You can see the slow loss of farmland, especially if you grew up here. If every farmer sold to developers when he wants to retire we would be out of the farming business ASAP. Jorgen Hansen, Kelowna

Green shift returns, goes global We will soon learn what Victoria News Premier Christy Clark and Prime Minister TOM Justin Trudeau FLETCHER have in mind for Canada’s renewed effort to influence climate change.

As they prepare to join the 40,000 people jetting to Paris for the next big United Nations summit to deal with human impact on the world’s weather, here is some context for what is to come in December and beyond.

Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion served as environment minister under former Liberal prime minister Paul Martin. Then, as Liberal leader, Dion’s proposed “green shift” carbon tax was pivotal only in ending his leadership. With a majority government this time, he promises the entire federal cabinet will be involved.

Dion gave a revealing interview to The Globe and Mail last week about his experience in government.

“The old system was to give the file of the environment to the minister of the environment and say, ‘deal with it, be the hero of the environment groups, but don’t bother us because we have jobs to create and an economy to grow’,” Dion said. “That

CAPITAL news AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

And while Canada endures false allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices.

China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent.

Here in B.C., Clark intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris. We’ll see if it includes another increase in B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now translates to about seven cents on a litre of gasoline.

Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, provincial and local tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big winner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre.

The B.C. government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was largely due to the global recession of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a world-wide glut of oil and gas.

will not work.”

It certainly didn’t work, which is not surprising since Dion is admitting the Liberals considered the environment ministry a mere public relations tool.

This was the period when Canada signed on to the Kyoto Protocol, then pretended to care about it as the United States rejected it in a unanimous vote of Congress.

We now understand more about those environmental groups, most funded by U.S. billionaires to target the Canadian oil and gas industry while the U.S. booms. Their tactics were on display in the defeat of the Keystone XL oil pipeline to the U.S., with arguments that even President Barack Obama acknowledged were exaggerated.

Dion’s ill-fated “green shift” wasn’t just about greenhouse gases. He intended to impose a national carbon tax and use the proceeds to eliminate child poverty.

This concept is back, on a global scale. If you’ve been to the movies lately, you may have seen a slick animated commercial sponsored by the UN, featuring animals running the world from the seats of the General Assembly. “We have a plan,” trumpets the elegant llama at the podium, not only to fix climate change but to eliminate poverty as well.

One problem with Kyoto was that it left emerging economies like China and India untouched.

Letters PENSION FUNDS

What happens to uncollected CPP? To the editor: Do you know someone who died before they collected their first CPP pension cheque?

Ever wonder what happened to the money they, and their employer(s) contributed to the CPP plan over the employee’s working life? Where did it go? Does the government factor those uncollected amounts into their calculations of available CPP benefits for the pensioners who are still living?

If you averaged $30K in income over your working life, your CPP contributions (and those of your employer) would total over $200,000. Do you see where the government paid one single penny into your CPP program?

These are monies that you and your employer(s) put into the hands of government to insure that you and I would have a retirement cheque at the end of our working lives yet, the government calls it an “entitlement” program when we reach the age to take it back. They get to determine

how much you will get every month.

If you were to calculate the future invested value of $4,500 per year in contributions from you and your employer(s) at a simple interest rate of five per cent, after 47 years of working, you would have around $800,000 in your pension fund.

If you took out only three per cent per year to live on, you would have a lifetime income of about $26,000 per year, or just under $2,200 per month (until you are 95 if you retired at 65). And that’s with no interest paid on the final amount on deposit over the course of your retirement years. How many seniors in Canada are receiving $2,200 per month from their CPP plan?

Many of our retired seniors are living on a fixed income (CPP and OAS) and receive no substantive additional federal support, nor do they get any financial breaks. Meanwhile our government offers huge tax breaks to corporations and numerous organizations.

(Not to mention there are the huge benefit

packages our elected representative for themselves to ensure they have a comfortable retirement after only six years in office.)

Our governments, past and present, have spent (and will likely continue to spend) hundreds of millions of dollars to provide aid to numerous countries around the world, not to mention the administrative costs attached to these programs. Yet the government calls your pension plan, one you have contributed to all of your working life, an entitlement program which they control and make determinations as to how much you can survive on for your retirement years.

I am all for helping others in need but, I would think that our government should be helping those in need here in this country first and foremost, particularly our seniors who have contributed so much over their working lives to the growth and development of this country. Don’t you ?

Grant Baudais, Kelowna

Harper did not leave ‘bare Side-swiped in West cupboards’ behind Kelowna social welfare will cause inflation and erode their financial wealth, and by business and corporate leaders satisfied with slack in the economy to prevent unions from demanding higher wages.

In truth, Canada’s cupboard is well stocked with both good ideas and unused real resources that can be mobilized. The government should make Canada a leader in public renewable energy schemes, better public transport systems, and various green initiatives that would combat climate change and create a highly skilled workforce with many permanent jobs.

Treasury Board president Scott Brison should not cite Mother Hubbard nursery rhymes as an excuse for inaction.

ROTARY/GRANDMOTHERS

Great fundraiser for Africa

To the editor: One year ago a fundraising event was conceived; an event that would be fun and entertaining while at the same time raise awareness of the culture and cuisine of Africa. Event planners wanted to celebrate artistic and musical culture and involve a broad age range of participants to highlight how important it is for the global village to rally to help those devastated by the AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa.

Over 15 million African orphans have lost their parents to AIDS—an entire generation lost. Grandparents have stepped up to raise these children and Kelowna stepped up to help. Two different service groups stepped up to work together, combining skills, talents and ideas to bring about an opportunity for many to make a difference.

The fundraising goals and mandate of the Rotary Club of Kelowna Sunrise merged well with the mission of the Kelowna Grandmothers for Africa and led to the cohosted event on Nov. 14— Discover Africa’s Culture & Cuisine.

To the editor: Re: Harper government accused of leaving ‘bare cupboard’ for Liberals, Andy Blatchford, Nov. 12, The Province newspaper. (http:// www.theprovince.com/business) The repeated claim that Ottawa’s fiscal cupboard is bare is fatuous.

Whenever a financial crisis erupts, it is clear that a sovereign country’s central bank can create money as needed. For example, to address the freeze in the credit markets that occurred in 2008, our federal government immediately set up a $200 billion Extraordinary Financing Framework to bail out struggling banks and corporations.

The myth that the federal government can run out of money in normal times is propagated by financial elites who fear that too much government spending on

They say it takes a village to raise a child and for those in need of help in Africa, it is taking the global village. Many gave their time, talent and abilities to host an entertaining and successful evening. The whole is the sum of its parts and each part was played to perfection giving guests a truly unique fundraising experience. And we would like to say thank you.

Thank you to the many volunteers— from the Rotary Club of Kelowna Sunrise, Interact and Rotaract, and from Kelowna Grandmothers for Africa—who stepped up to organize, plan, and decorate and who worked tirelessly throughout the evening.

Thank you and praise to the Culinary Arts Department at Okanagan College, chef mentors (especially chef Reinhard Foerderer) and the junior chefs who planned, presented, cooked and served delicious African inspired dishes.

To the editor: This letter is directed to the individual— and others like him or her—who side-swiped my vehicle in the Orchard Park Mall parking lot between 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13 and who did not have the decency to leave me a note taking responsibility for their actions.

There are far too many people in this world today who are unwilling to be accountable for their behaviours and indiscretions at the expense of others. This incident will not only be an inconvenience and a time waster for me, but will cost me—who is totally innocent in this case—and the insurance company— and ultimately all insurance premium payers—money.

Come on people, step up and take responsibility for your actions. You will feel better for having done so.

often for the first time.”

For Lisa Watson and her son Brett, taking part in the CAN program for the first time last year was a welcome respite from her daily struggles.

She watched from the sidelines as Brett received one-on-one help from an instructor.

“It was nice, I could just sit there on the bleachers and watch him and sit and chat with the other parents as opposed to having to be right there monitoring him,” she said.

“He’s really athletic. He

needs that physical outlet.

It helps him regulate himself and makes him calmer.”

So while CAN provides an athletic outlet, Lisa has also taken matters into her own hands and is trying to help other parents who have children with autism.

She is the regional coordinator for the Interior for the Autism Society of B.C. and holds regular support meetings as parents get together to share stories and information.

“Parents need to reach out to each other because you can’t do this alone,” she said.

“You need someone to talk to. It’s very important.

If I didn’t have the people in my support network I would have cracked a long time ago.

“Being able to talk to parents about simple things it’s nice because they get it.”

For information on upcoming support meetings for parents of children with autism, you can email Lisa Watson at lwatson@autismbc.ca To register for the Canucks Autism Network in Kelowna go to canucksautism.ca/join. @KP_media1

Help snowplows keep streets clear City of Kelowna snow removal and sanding trucks are ready for the forecasted snow.

Residents can help snowplows move through the areas more efficiently by moving their vehicles off the roads before every snow fall.

“Crews are at work clearing the streets before most people are awake,” said Stephen Bryans, City of Kelowna roadways operations supervisor.

“That’s why it’s important for vehicles to be moved prior to the snow falling. If streets, particularly cul-desacs, are clear of vehicles, our crews are able to do a better job of clearing the roads safely, efficiently and quickly. At this time, a snow event advisory for the temporary parking ban on snow routes is not in effect.”

The city clears snow and de-ices municipal roads (excluding provincial Highways 33 and 97) based on their priority status. Priority 1 includes high-traffic roads such as Gordon Drive. Priority 2 includes collector roads such as Richter Street, bus routes, school zones, town centres and emergency vehicle stations. Priority 3 includes local roads in neighbourhoods and Priority 4 includes laneways.

“It is important to note that priority three roads will not be cleared until service levels of Priority 1 and 2 roads have been achieved,” said Bryans. “If another storm occurs prior to the completion of the Priority 2 to 4 roads, our attention will shift back to Priority 1 routes.”

news _____________________________________________________________________ MOUNT BOUCHERIE SECONDARY SCHOOL

Mounties quell concerns over possible gun threats Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Students at Mt. Boucherie school are safe and sound, despite a flurry of online reports indicating otherwise.

Hugh Gloster, superintendent of the Central Okanagan School District, explained that two students at the school had received threats of violence Wednesday night, via text message and Instagram.

“The threat was to students generally at Mt. Boucherie,” said Gloster, noting that they were related to gun violence.

“The message got to the RCMP yesterday, and they conducted a detailed follow up...They have since closed the file. It turned out it wasn’t an actual threat. More of a

hoax. “ Although the school district took the threat seriously, and dealt with it alongside the Mounties accordingly, rumour and innuendo in the online world seeped out and made the situation appear even more serious than it was, inciting panic among parents.

“Someone saw a sports team going onto the bus for a school trip, and they thought the school was being evacuated,” said Gloster, pointing out that the rumour even made it into the local media news cycle.

“There was no evacuation of the school.”

By that point, Mounties were already interviewing the person who had sent the menacing messages and were confident that

there was no risk to students.

“So school went ahead as per normal,” said Gloster.

“With social media nowadays, things like these get out there quickly and people take threats very seriously.”

Some parents even kept their children home from school when they got wind of what wasn’t actually happening.

Gloster said he understands the instinct, however, the school has protocols in place that assure, above all else, that students and faculty are safe.

As for the Mounties, they’re still on the case.

“RCMP take threats very seriously,” said Cpl. Joe Duncan, in a press release.

CENSURE FROM A1 the RDCO and Hanson could be present. He said he was doing so for “procedural fairness.”

After the meeting, Hanson immediately met behind closed doors with Central Okanagan West regional director Wayne Carson and told an RDCO

representative to tell reporters waiting outside she would not be making any comment on what had just transpired.

The outcome of

the meeting, weeks in planning, left other board members frustrated, including Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran, who asked Hanson directly during

the meeting why she did not bring her lawyer with her.

Her response was “no comment.”

“This process has completely gone off the rails,” said an exasperated Basran.

Kelowna Coun. Brad Sieben echoed Basran’s frustration at the delay, and when it came time to vote on Findlater’s motion that the special meeting be reconvened at a later (but unspecified) time, Basran and Sieben were joined in opposing it by their fellow Kelowna councillors who sit on the board, Tracy Gray and Maxine DeHart.

Given, who is also a Kelowna councillor, voted in favour of reconvening later. After the meeting, she said her position was also based on wanting procedural fairness.

At Thursday’s meeting, the regional board had its lawyer—who flew in from Vancouver—in the room.

Given admitted the workshop held in May was not a formally constituted in-camera meeting.

That could be why Hanson felt free to talk to Summerland about what was said, but until she speaks publicly, it is not known what her reasoning was.

Summerland, who was also at Thursday’s RDCO special board meeting, left quickly, refusing to speak to the media.

Hanson had at least one supporter on the board who was willing to speak. Carson said he was “disappointed the issue has come to this point.”

Carson argued it

Patty Hanson

should have been dealt with by Given in a meeting with Hanson and Summerland.

Later, Given said she did not deal with it alone because the board felt it should deal with the matter as a group.

This is not the first time Hanson, who has served on the RDCO board for three terms, has run afoul of the board.

In 2012, when thenKelowna Coun. Robert Hobson was the board chair, Hanson had to publicly apologize to Hobson after calling for his resignation and that of a senior RDCO staff member over what she considered misleading comments Hobson made about the controversial Kelowna Mountain development.

Hobson suggested he may sue for libel.

If the board rules now that Hanson did divulge confidential information, in addition to publicly censuring her, the sanctions it could impose would be to order her to make a public apology to Summerland and remove her from the Economic Development Commission, Okanagan Film Commission and SIBAC boards for 12 months.

news _____________________________________ PLANNING AHEAD

Reduce landscape maintenance Although the word xeriscape is synonymous with water-wise, the principles of xeriscape go well beyond water conservation.

To me, these principles are the easiest guide to creating a successful garden/landscape.

A successful landscape is one that gives pleasure, is in harmony with natural systems, does no harm, and is easy to maintain.

In my classes and workshops, I’m increasingly emphasizing planning ahead to minimize long-term maintenance costs and yard tasks.

As winter is a

Living With Nature GWEN STEELE good time for garden planning, here are some suggestions for reducing maintenance.

MOWING

Minimize the amount of lawn. A traditionallytended lawn gets mowed and edged 20 to 30 times a year, making it a labour intensive task.

Hard to maintain turf areas include slopes, very hot dry places, hard to

water areas, hard to mow areas, on sandy soil, under trees (dense shade and tree roots).

When planting a tree or shrub in a lawn, create a wide mulched circle around it to remove growth competition from grass and to permanently protect the trunk from damage by mowing equipment.

If planting more than one tree or shrub in a lawn, link them all in a flowing, easy-to-mowaround, mulched bed.

Use a hose to lay out the shape of garden beds bordered by lawn.

Your overall experience matters when you travel...

Our Travel Counsellors have the knowledge and experience to make your vacation the trip of a lifetime! We can book anything from an exotic adventure to a customized group and everything in between; We also have experienced corporate agents to help with all your business plans.

PRUNING

To minimize pruning tasks, choose trees and shrubs carefully to ensure they can grow to mature size without blocking a view, conflicting with overhead wires, or crowding out adjacent vegetation or a walkway.

Choose trees and shrubs that naturally grow to a shape you like.

Research their appearance in all seasons.

Deciduous ones will have bare branches for four to five months.

Never prune a shrub into a ball. It will produce ugly, ‘porcupine-like’ pokey twigs within a few weeks and need constant pruning—the epitome of a make-work project.

WEEDING

To drastically reduce weed growth and water needs, keep all bare ground covered with mulch.

Remove all weeds and make sure the ground is moist before mulching.

Avoid rock mulch.

Weed seeds and soil will inevitably blow in.

Except for screened crusher chips or pea gravel, rock mulch is very hard to weed out of.

Avoid landscape fabric, especially anywhere that you may want to dig in future to add or remove plants.

PLANT MAINTENANCE

Minimize plant replacement by choosing the right plants for your conditions of light water and soil.

Group plants by water needs. Remove invasive plants.

PEST CONTROL

Remove plants that attract pests and diseases.

Plant a wide diversity of plants to attract birds and beneficial insects. They will eat any pests.

Do not use pesticidesas they also kill the beneficial insects.

Hall of Fame welcomes six new members Warren Henderson

inductees Joanne Ritchie and Erminia Russo, as well as Rob Friend, Conrad Leinemann, Doug Reimer and Heather Mandoli.

“This was the type of talent I had to work with,” he said. “It’s easy when you have that.”

• John and Jennifer Hindle—Bennett Award Among the Hindles’ many contributions to Kelowna’s sporting and arts communities during their lives was launching the Apple Triathlon in 1983.

John also helped build the junior ski racing programs at both Big White and Silver Star Mountains.

In addition to supporting John’s many endeavours, Jennifer volunteered tirelessly in Kelowna’s arts scene, Son Dan Hindle accepted the posthumous award on behalf of his parents.

“What inspired them was what they did for young adults in the community, and the joy the two of them shared in that,” said Dan Hindle.

“It’s a great honour to be able to accept on behalf of mom and dad.”

The Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame exhibit is now being displayed at the Okanagan Heritage Museum in downtown Kelowna.

Whether it was on weekends, after school, or even on a national holiday, chances were you’d find Christie Van Hees spending pretty much all of her spare time on a racquetball court.

Little wonder then that the Kelowna woman became the sport’s most successful player ever to come out of Canada.

A six-time national and two-time world racquetball champion, Van Hees was one of six new members inducted Thursday into the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame.

Van Hees, who has always had strong ties to Kelowna, said her hometown, and her family and friends were vital in keeping her grounded throughout her 20-year competitive career.

“Travelling and competing in an individual sport can be isolating, so returning to my hometown and the people I grew up with was very fulfilling and gave me the balance I needed to be successful,” said Van Hees, who now lives in Dallas, Texas. “I always loved returning for this very reason.

“Thank you to the city of Kelowna for this amazing experience this is

This year’s Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame inductees include (from left) Christie Van Hees, Rod Belinski and Sarah Charles. truly an honour.”

Van Hees—the No. 1 ranked player in the world in 2005—won the world titles in 1998 and 2006.

She also won a silver medal at the Pan-Am Games in 1999.

• Sarah Charles— Athlete As a five-yearold, Charles took to gymnastics like a duck to water and by the age of 17 had won her first world double mini trampoline championship.

A member of the Okanagan Gymnastics Centre, Charles captured

gold medals at both the Pan Am and Indo-Pacific Games, then added a second world title to her resumé in 2007.

While Charles’ success was partly due both to her talent and hard work, she credited her parents, Gordy and Jennifer Charles, for making a decorated career possible.

“I feel so fortunate that I was given the opportunity when I was young to be very physically competent and very confident in my body’s ability, not all kids are given that

same chance,” Charles said in reference to her parents who have made significant contributions to Kelowna’s sports community.

“I feel humbled to be up here when they’re the ones who have done so much work. I feel this award is more dedicated to them.”

• Wayne Hicks— Pioneer Athlete To this day, Hicks continues to be the only player from Kelowna to have his name etched on the Stanley Cup. He won the NHL

championship as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks in 1961.

Hicks played 117 NHL games with five different teams, scoring 37 points.

Hicks, who lives in Scottsdale, AZ and was unable to attend Thursday, was represented at the event by his twin brother, Warren.

“I’m humbled to be given such a great honour,” Wayne wrote in a letter read by his brother. “Okanagan Valley has produced so great athletes over the

Wayne Hicks

past decades and it’s overwhelming to me that I’m mentioned in the same breath with the best. I will hold this induction to the Hall close to my heart.”

• Rod Belinski— Builder Instrumental in the growth of volleyball in the Okanagan for more than 30 years, Belinski coached the KLO Cougars to five B.C. high school titles. He also headed up the move of the provincial boys championships to Kelowna in 1993 and served as tournament chair for 19 years.

“I feel very lucky to be inducted into the Central Okanagan Sports Hall of Fame,” said Belinski. “To be honoured for what I love to do, I feel very fortunate.”

Belsinki also considers himself lucky to have worked with many highcaliber athletes while at KLO, including fellow

Rockets at home for weekend set vs Oil Kings, Giants Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

With six wins in their last seven WHL outings, the Kelowna Rockets will settle into Prospera Place this weekend for a pair of home games.

Tonight, the Edmonton Oil Kings will provide the opposition in the second meeting of the season between the teams.

“They play a heavy, straight ahead game,” Rockets head coach Brad Ralph said of the Oil Kings, who Kelowna defeated 5-3 on Oct. 2 in Edmonton. “They’re probably a little better than their record indicates, and they’ve had a pretty good road trip.

“Like any team, they can give you trouble if you’re not ready to play.”

The Rockets will be home again on Saturday night to take on

the B.C. Division rival Vancouver Giants, before hosting the Seattle Thunderbirds on Wednesday in the first meeting of the season between the clubs.

Kelowna is coming off its third consecutive overtime game, a 4-3 victory Wednesday night in Kamloops against the Blazers. Rodney Southam netted the game at 1:47 of the extra frame.

Both teams were minus some of their top players, as Kelowna continues to cope without Rourke Chartier and Dillon Dube, while the Blazers played without captain Matt Needham, forward Jake Kryski and defenceman Dallas Valentine.

Considering that both teams were red hot—8-1-1 in their last 10—Ralph was pleased with his club’s effort.

“It was a big game, both teams

have some significant injuries, I thought both teams competed and it was a very good game,” Ralph said.”We had to make sure we came with our best effort and I thought for the most part, we outplayed them.”

Game time both tonight and Saturday at Propsera Place is 7 p.m. @capnewsports.ca

On Saturday, the Alberni Bulldogs will provide the opposition.

Face off both nights in West Kelowna is 7 p.m.

The Warriors (13-8-

“A strong Grade 11 contingent made up of Ashlyn Day, Kate Johnson, Lexi Bruschinsky, Hannah Slade, and Kennedy Pesl. And now Grade 10 call up Trinity Alexander rounds out a very diverse and talented team.”

The Kelowna Christian Knights won a challenge tournament this week and have also earned a berth to provincials in Princeton.

sports ____________________________________________________________________ UBCO RUNNING

Heat hits podium at cross country nationals Groulx from Quebec.

First-year Heat coach Colin Wallace said his team’s strategy led to a podium finish.

“Every other team was so spread out,” Wallace explained, “so I told the women to pack up and run as a team.”

The Heat runners were successful in this regard, as only 33 seconds separated their first and fourth finisher.

The top runner for UBC Okanagan was

Veronika Fagan, the firstyear nursing student from West Kelowna who was the 19th female to cross the finish line in 20 minutes 6.7 seconds.

Another nursing student, Camille Galloway was the second Heat runner to cross (23rd, 20:13.3), followed by Alison Gill (32nd, 20:33.4) and Julianna Neudorf (36th, 20:39.1) to round out the scoring runners for UBC Okanagan.

“We executed our

race plan to perfection.

The ladies all ran a smart race, and incredible performances by Ali Gill and Julianna Neudorf locked up the team silver medal,” added Wallace.

Displacers for the Heat were Anna Merino (50th, 20:58) and Rachel Garrett (58th, 21:09).

HEAT MEN

Cael Warner, for the second year in a row, was the top finisher on the men’s side for UBCO as

Owls soar to 4th at BCs Warren Henderson whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Head coach Arnar Bernhardsson would have been content with a top-eight finish at the 2015 B.C. high school AAA field hockey championships.

His overachieving Kelowna Owls exceeded those expectations last weekend in Shawnigan Lake with a fourth-place effort for the second consecutive year.

The Owls, one the the youngest teams in the province, reached the bronze medal game of the 16-team tournament before bowing out Saturday 3-1 to the Argyle Pipers.

“We played really well in every game,” said Bernhardsson. “I’m proud of the girls and have nothing but good things to say about the way they played and the way they handled themselves at (provincials).”

The Owls—featuring five Grade 12s, just one Grade 11 and ten Grade 10 players—opened the tournament with a 2-0 loss to West Vancouver, before rebounding in a big way with a 10-0 whipping of Sullivan Heights.

In monsoon-like conditions, Letisha Mapstone scored five times, while Deziree Day added a hat-trick.

In their third game, Lauryn Guy scored both goals for Kelowna in a 2-1 victory over Shawnigan Lake.

With just two hours between games, KSS went back to work and edged Gleneagle 3-2 in the quarterfinals.

Then, in the semifinals, luck wasn’t on the Owls’ side in a 1-0 loss to the Handsworth Royals.

Bernhardsson had to

sit out three of his key defenders due to injuries, while the legitimacy of the game’s only goal was in doubt.

Some KSS players thought the ball passed over the end line but, according to Bernhardsson, neither umpire made the call and the play was allowed to continue.

Handsworth took advantage for the game’s

only goal.

“My guys didn’t play to the whistle and Handsworth just kept playing, so that one cost us,” he said. “We had some raw luck in that game.”

In the bronze medal match against Argyle, the Owls had a couple of good short corner opportunities but couldn’t convert. The Pipers responded with the first

three goals of the game, before KSS broke the shutout with a late goal.

Bernhardsson said the Owls displayed their resolve throughout the tournament.

“I’m super happy with the effort,” he said. “The thing about our team is that they never give up, they just keep coming no matter what the score is.

That’s why most teams don’t like playing us.”

CCAA

A consummate team effort led the UBC Okanagan Heat women to a silver medal performance at the Canadian Collegiate Athletics Association national cross country championships in Brockville, Ont. The Heat’s four runners who scored in the race finished 19th, 23rd, 32nd and 36th overall in the 5 km event for a total of 82 points, placing second behind College Lionel-

The Penticton runner finished 22nd overall in a field of more than 100 runners in the 8 km run with a time of 27:45.

A trio of newcomers to the Heat were the remaining scorers.

Neils De Vries (29:09), Michael Mitchell (29:13) and Sam Goodrich (29:14) finished 57th, 59th, and 60th respectively, as the Heat finished with 167 points.

Displacers on the men’s side were Alex Hansen who was just one second behind Goodrich, (61st, 29:15) and Mackenzie Wong who crossed the line in 72nd place.

To say Jeran Knorr’s adjustment to the Northern Ontario

Junior Hockey League is going well would be an understatement.

The 18-year-old from Kelowna was named the NOJHL Rookie of the

Month for October after posting eight goals and nine assists in eleven October games for the Cochrane Crunch. After playing for the Kelowna

KELOWNA CHIEFS ~VS~

NORTH OKANAGAN KNIGHTS

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 21 7PM at Rutland Arena Fundraiser for:

BUY YOUR TICKETS ONLINE AT www.kelownachiefs.com

Chiefs last season, Knorr made the move to Cochrane, a town of 5,000 people in Northern Ontario, to play junior ‘A’ hockey.

“It’s a lot different than living in Kelowna,” Knorr explained of adjusting to small town life. “It’s a lot smaller, but it’s a really nice town and it’s a lot of fun. I like it, it’s a good place to be.”

Knorr didn’t experience any major shocks during or after his relocation to Ontario, and he believes his on-ice success helped make it easier. Through 23 games so far, he has helped lead the Crunch to an 18-3-1 record while collecting 16 goals and 21 assists, which is good for sixth in the NOJHL in goals and tied for sixth in points.

Knorr credits much of his success to his linemates, Hunter Atchison and Seamus

THOMAS PERRY

Eastern transition smooth for Knorr

Kelowna’s Jeran Knorr is having a solid rookie season of junior A hockey in Cochrane, Ont. Maguire. Atchison and Maguire are leading the NOJHL in points, and the chemistry between the three forwards is one of the reasons Knorr believes they have done as well as

they have. He noted he is also thankful for receiving the opportunity to play in a top-six role, which he doesn’t plan to relinquish.

“I’ll just keep playing my game, do what I

know to do, contribute to the team and win a championship,” Knorr said.

The end goal for the Crunch this year is to win the RBC Cup, the penultimate accomplishment for teams from the NOJHL and nine other junior hockey leagues across Canada. With the strong start Knorr and the rest of the Crunch have experienced, he believes they have a chance at meeting that goal.

“I feel we do, we’ve got a pretty strong team,” he described. “We’ve been pretty hot lately, playing lots of games and playing really well.”

While there’s still well over half of the season remaining before even reaching the playoffs, there is no doubt that so far Knorr’s move to Ontario has gone exceedingly well.

Kelowna scoops up ‘significant’ lakefront property Alistair Waters awaters@kelownacapnews.com

done so by buying smaller individual properties adjacent to one another and consolidating them into a large park later on.

But this time, one large lot became available and the city felt the deal was too good to pass up.

Basran said the land was listed on the open market, but he did not know how many other potential buyers, if any, were interested.

The mayor said as far as he knows, the land purchase is the largest single lot the city has bought for parkland since the acquisition in 1972 of the land that became Rotary Beach Park, farther north on Lakeshore Road.

He said the new property is comparable in size to Rotary Beach Park.

The land is adjacent to the Bluebird Road beach access, across from Belmont Park.

The 2.9-acre acquisition will complement existing city waterfront holdings in the area.

In total, the acquisition will allow for the creation of a 3.6-acre waterfront park, with more than 705 feet of sandy beachfront located next to a commercial area along Lakeshore Road.

“Being a significant beach park, access to washrooms, parking, amenities and food services will be important features of this park,” said City of Kelowna community planning manager Terry Barton.

However, the public should not expect the land to be turned into a park immediately.

The timing of redevelopment and amenities construction has not been determined by city officials and will be included as part of the current long-term capital planning discussion, said Barton.

The city is currently seeking public input on its 2016-2030 infrastructure planning requirements.

Public access to the property is currently restricted for the privacy of the existing occupants of the homes located on it. Basran urged the public to be respectful of that.

Funding for the acquisition was provided from the city’s development cost charge (DCC) program and supplemented from city land reserves. The purchase will not require a tax hike or borrowing.

Message of driving safely finds support

DAY OF REMEMBRANCE

I am filled with gratitude.

The fourth annual event to commemorate the National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims on Nov. 18 was well attended.

I didn’t do a count myself, but I am told that Achieving there were more Justice than 100 people.

The numbers PAUL have been slowly HERGOTT increasing each year, a trend that I hope will continue.

I am grateful, and thankful, for those beautiful people in my world who have been coming to this very chilly event, each year, to support me.

Road safety is important to these friends and coworkers, but it is their kind support of me that brings them out. Thank you.

I am grateful, and thankful, for the RCMP, fire services, and ambulance services leadership, specifically Insp. Brent Mundle, operation aupervisor Glenn Braithwaite and local fire chiefs Jeff Carlisle (Kelowna) and Jason Brolund (West Kelowna), whose attendance (along with supporting firefighters to operate Ladder No. 1 which illuminated the event) was squarely all about road safety, but who put their trust in me in my organization of this event.

I am similarly grateful, and thankful, to Dave Gibson, regional safety officer of School District 23, ICBC, Designated Dads, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the Kelowna and District Safety Council, Young Drivers of Canada and BrainTrust Canada for their representative attendance at the event.

I am grateful and thankful to Harry Callaghan, of Astral Radio, and Julie Hill, of Power 104/Q103.1, who assisted with promoting the event, and Lauren Pullen of Global News; Barry Gerding with the Kelowna Capital News; and Nicholas Johansen with Castanet, for reporting on the event.

Without promotion, there would be no event.

Without reporting, the important road safety message doesn’t get out.

Join the RCMP and others who refuse to use the word “accident” when referring to a road traffic incident, because the word “accident” is suggestive of a random, unavoidable part of our world.

The RCMP who investigate crash after crash after crash are the most qualified to help us understand that the vast majority of crashes are entirely avoidable with simple common sense and attention to the task at hand.

The subtle use of language can have a powerful impact on attitudes and behaviours. How incredible if all the local news media might follow this important road safety protocol.

I wonder if ICBC might follow suit in all of their publications? Might this be an initiative that takes hold and makes our community a leader in road safety? I confess that I am feeling a touch of giddy optimism in that regard.

This and other small seeds of change have the capacity of germinating and growing to help change our driving culture to one where the act of driving is recognized to be an inherently dangerous activity, just like operating power saws and firearms, commanding a similar level of sensibility and undivided attention.

That’s all it will take to greatly reduce the unbearably significant ongoing losses arising from road traffic incidents in our communities.

Paul Hergott is a personal injury lawyer at Hergott Law in West Kelowna. paul@hlaw.ca

As the mayor of West Kelowna, Doug Findlater is called upon to speak at many public events on behalf of the city he represents.

And at first glance, the ceremony held in the Orchard Park Shopping Centre in Kelowna to mark the Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims was another of those events, organized by West Kelowna lawyer Paul Hergott, a Kelowna Capital News columnist, on civil litigation issues related to road crashes.

But the gathering of more than 100 people on a cold November evening was one Findlater didn’t want to miss, because he is a road crash victim himself and still lives with the trauma and physical impact of that life-changing event to this day.

Speaking at the ceremony, Findlater recalled how he became a crash victim, hit by an impaired driver in the evening while making a left turn from St. Paul

West Kelowna mayor feels the pain of traffic crash victims Barry Gerding bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

Street onto Bernard Avenue.

“It was March 27, 1981 when an impaired driver hit me. It was a life altering event.

One I never forget. The firefighters needed the jaws of life to free me from my car and I was hurt bad,” Findlater said.

He was taken to Kelowna General Hospital where he would remain for the next two months, a period that he barely remembers today, and one which the doctors were not sure if he would survive.

Findlater ultimately had his spleen removed surgically and suffered a fracture to his pelvis which caused nerve damage he still deals with to this day.

“There are days when I feel pain in my leg and I have to wear a brace, but I have adapted my life and tried not to let it stop me from doing what I want to do,” he said, noting he is able to snowboard with his grandkids today at Big White Ski Resort by wearing special snowboarding boots.

“I had a long recovery from my injuries and I was

fortunate I worked for the federal government as my job was still there for me when I was able to get back to work.

“But that one event changed my life forever.

There was eventually a settlement paid out by ICBC, but in the end the compensation is just not worth it.”

As mayor, Findlater said he continues to champion traffic safety measures in his city to reduce the opportunity for crashes.

He cited the lefthand turn signals for intersections along Highway 97, which he says while delaying the progress of traffic may seem like a nuisance, have effectively stopped the serious left turn crashes into the opposite flow of traffic caused by impatient or reckless driving.

Hergott said the statistics surrounding motor vehicle crashes on our roads is staggering: A 2014 report said globally some 3,500 people are killed every day in road traffic incidents, 215,000 people are injured; in Kelowna there has been 678 collisions this year.

Need a Little

Inspiration?

West Kelowna lawyer Paul Hergott speaks at the Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims held Wednesday evening in Kelowna.

Hergott said every day and a half, someone in British Columbia is killed in a road traffic crash, and every 6 1/2 minutes someone is injured.

“In a 2007 economic analysis study, which will cost more today, it was found the economic impact of people involved in road safety collisions is $9 billion per year. That is the annual budget for the ministry of education and half the budget for the ministry of health,” he said.

Hergott said as a lawyer handling civic lawsuits related to motor vehicle collisions, the magnitude of the loss has weighed on him as has the senselessness of each and every crash.

“For each and every file I have handled, the loss would have been completely avoided had the drivers simply driven sensibly and paid attention to the road ahead of them.” @kelownacapnews

If not for a respect of war veterans we’d likely start decorating the yard and house the day after Halloween.

In fact, I could probably be convinced to create a bylaw eliminating Halloween simply so we could get on with Christmas at the end of August.

I am not sure exactly when my passion for the festive Christmas season became a full blown addiction, but now it is a habit I fully embrace with no apologies.

As a youngster, I was constantly awed by the lights, presents, songs, movies and yummy baking which accompanies Christmas.

However, I think the biggest attraction has always been the joyful and positive adjustment in attitude the season has on so many.

Thankfully Tez is just as stoked about Christmas as I am.

So I was not totally shocked when I arrived home from a day of debates at City Hall earlier this week and was instantly greeted with the intoxicatingly lovely aroma of freshly baked shortbread cookies.

Nothing says Merry Christmas better than a tray of shortbread cookies cut in the shape of bells or snowmen.

Shortbread was only the beginning as Tez then opened the spare room to

show off three miniature Christmas trees she crafted out of inverted tomato cages wrapped in tree bows and lights.

It seems the conversion from humble home to North Pole workshop is fully under way.

Decorating the house from head to toe in early November is a habit I adopted 10 years ago during the first Night of the Arts fundraising concert I organized.

Since the event was meant as a community kick-off to Christmas, I figured the after party at my house should involve Christmas decorations.

The habit of early decorations never ended even when the concerts did.

Traditionally, our home is literally stuffed with lights and decorations in every nook and cranny, but there is a wrinkle in the plans for this season.

Actually, four wrinkles—disguised as six month-old male kittens.

I am not sure if it is the kitten factor or the gender influence, but either way the House of Hodge is pretty much a literal zoo at the best of times lately with the four bundles of fur traversing the house at full speed.

Four mini bulls in a china shop, using tables, chairs, counters, furniture, etc. as part of the race track and jump and bounce circuit.

The only thing that Chaos, Trouble, Bandit, and Fluffy Little Bear specialize in more than

full out play is making Tez and I chuckle.

So it goes without explanation that the new additions to the indoor neighbourhood will mean a major retrofit and recalculation of the regular holiday decorations—starting with the Christmas tree, or perhaps lack thereof.

I, for one, vote no to the putting up of a Christmas tree this year but I have a hunch Tez is going to insist on one.

She will at least want an effort made to attempt putting one up this year.

(My votes gets as little notice at home as they do in Kelowna council chambers).

I know where the tree vote is going and I predict a CATastrophe.

I can already visualize four kittens dangling from branches, batting the day lights out of anything shiny or breakable.

There may be something to be said for putting up a tree with no branches the first three feet.

For that matter, we are probably best not to put up any decorations below shoulder height —anywhere. Either that or be prepared to never leave the house.

Transgender Day of Remembrance planned

Cultural District fixture closing its doors

A candlelight vigil to remember transgender lives lost to hatred and violence will be held at UBC’s Okanagan campus as part of Kelowna’s Transgender Day of Remembrance taking place today (Nov. 20).

During the vigil, the names of those people lost will be read, and a short nondenominational service will take place.

There will also be poetry reading and two guest speakers from the transgender community will speak to participants.

The event is being co-hosted by UBC Okanagan’s Pride Resource Centre (PRC), UBC Okanagan’s Equity and Inclusion Office, and the Okanagan Pride Society (OPS).

Sydney Lawson, OPS director of Transgender Community Development, says the cruelty that humans show to other humans is disgusting and has to stop.

“I’m saddened and disgusted that we live in a world where people are tortured and murdered for simply being true to themselves,” said Lawson.

“Since I began my transition I would avoid this event each year because I didn’t want to know. I couldn’t bear to know that there is such cruelty in humans that they could torture and kill

another.”

Lawson feels strongly that people need to know that transgender people are tortured and murdered in many cultures around the world. Co-hosting the Transgender Day of Remembrance not only honours those people who lost their lives, but also brings awareness about the hate crimes.

Kelowna’s Transgender Day of Remembrance takes place at UBC Okanagan’s University Centre Ballroom, starting at 7 p.m.

Jenica Frisque, with UBC Okanagan’s Equity and Inclusion Office, encourages all members of the public to attend this free event. Refreshments will be provided.

“I feel that this is an opportunity to send a message to transgender students and staff, and to the Okanagan’s transgender community in general, that Kelowna recognizes that transphobia exists, that violence against transgender people exists, and that there is still a lot of work to do to end that violence,” said Frisque. “Building community takes time and takes commitment by all members to speak out against violence and to work collectively to create respectful spaces where everyone feels included and dignified.”

Turtle Island Gallery in Kelowna’s Cultural District will be permanently closed this weekend.

The art gallery, located at 1151295 Cannary Lane, will have a final blow-out sale of its inventory on Saturday, Nov. 21, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Included in the sale will be all gallery shelving units, display items, some antiques, a boardroom table, chairs, stools, file cabinets, and anything else to do with the

business.

All remaining art and carvings will be on at huge discounts, and gold jewelry will be at 50 per cent.

Turtle Island Gallery owner Georgette Johnson said her website will be running for a little while until all her inventory has been sold.

“Our doors will close forever on Saturday at 4 p.m. It has been a wonderful 20 years in the native art business, in which I have made many many friends, both artists and

customer alike,”said Johnson on her website.

“I am going to miss you all and the art business, but I am now moving on to more traveling (without guilt!) skiing, motorcycle riding, and enjoying my grandchildren as much as I can.

“I thank you all so very much for your continued support, and I hope to bump into some of you along the way.”

I’m still here to let her go

Arion farm to host Christmas fundraiser Arion Therapeutic Farm Winter Wonderland takes place Saturday, Dec. 12, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Does the Virto V Replace Traditional Hearing Aids?

Whether at work, during conversations in small groups or when watching television, one in six adults experience problems when it comes to accurate speech comprehension and hearing in everyday situations. Although background noise and music can impair communication with friends and family, two thirds of those affected still do not use any hearing aids.

For some clients, the smaller design of the Virto V hearing aids might possibly replace the more traditional behind­the­ear hearing aids, and like many of our other products, these hearing aids can easily connect wirelessly with TVs and smartphones,” explains Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of the Swiss manufacturer Phonak.

See how the virtually invisible Virto V fits into your daily routine.

There are many reasons for this but for most people it’s that they are not convinced that hearing aids will significantly benefit them or it’s the unease they feel about attracting atten­ tion by wearing a visible hearing aid.

Virtual function of the ear

This is why the Swiss manufacturer Phonak has developed a world first: Virto V. These hearing aids are manu­ factured using a modern 3D printing process that provides a custom­fit miniature hearing aid that disappears into the ear canal, making it almost invisible to others. Despite its small size, the latest and most advanced Phonak hearing technology is still contained in the casing.

“Thanks to a new operating system, these new hearing aids can provide a virtual alternative for natural hearing, as experienced by people with normal hearing. Through intelligent control, the software can improve speech under­ standing, even in loud situations and by utilizing the 3D printing process, these hearing aids fit the natural anatomy of the ear as closely as possible making them truly a custom­fit solution.

Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of Swiss If you are interested in finding out more manufacturer Phonak, presents about these new hearing aids, the first step is to book hearing evaluation and the new Virto V hearing aids. determine if the new Virto V technol­ ogy is the right solution for you. For those who are hard of hearing, this can be particularly useful for finding out whether it is possible to hear and understand more clearly with discreet in­the­canal hearing solutions.

At Connect Hearing we offer you the chance to be among the first to try these state­of­the­art hearing aids.

Bad posture can be the culprit for headaches The most frequent type of headache is also the easiest to avoid.

In my practice, I see many patients suffering from chronic headaches.

There are about 23 separate classifications for different types of headaches.

The one that I see most

Ask Dr. Thiel MARKUS THIEL frequently is the type of headache classified as a suboccipital headache.

Fancy name, I know. Let me explain.

It comprises approximately 75 per cent of my headache population in practice. We all know these headaches because of how common

they are. These are the type of headaches that start at the base of your skull or at the very top of your neck.

These headaches tend to migrate up the skull eventually residing behind and eye or back of the skull.

The pain is described as

and it travels from the base of the skull that extends up the skull to rest behind the eye.

This headache is the result of the head moving forward in relationship to the rest of the body putting sustained pressure on that important nerve.

The most simple remedy is proper posture with respect to your computer. Make sure that the middle of your monitor meets you at the level of your eyes.

This will stop you from peering down or up while at the computer. In addition, try to maintain the center of your skull over the center of your pelvis, keeping the spine in proper alignment.

This situation is often made worse with people who have progressive bifocal lenses as it often makes them tip their head backwards to see the screen more clearly.

In fact, about 40 per cent of the people that I see with these type of headaches ware glasses that place them in somewhat of a sniffing posture.

One of the telltale signs

of these headaches is someone who constantly rub the base of their skull while complaining all their headache.

The vast majority of these type of headaches are the result of a dysfunctional and stressful posture and therefore, can be avoided.

If you do have one of these headaches, it is often easily remedied by resting your chin on your chest and using your thumbs to rub the soft part underneath your skull. If that does not help, apply a hot pack for 15 minutes and then stretch the region gently.

If you are someone who spends a lot of time at the computer or you find yourself doing a lot of texting your posture is the culprit.

You don’t have headaches because you have a Tylenol deficiency, it’s a posture and function type of situation. I hate to say it, Mom was right, sit up straight.

a deep or dull throbbing at the base of the skull extending up the region of the eye.

Almost always, these headaches start where the neck meets the base of the skull.

One of the first questions I ask my patients with these type of headaches is: Have you been spending a lot of time at your computer?

Rarely do we ever maintain proper posture during long durations in front of a computer screen.

We tend to adopt what is called a empathetic listening posture during long times of battle at the computer. In this case, our shoulders round forward causing our neck and head to translate forward.

We tend to find ourselves in somewhat of a sniffing posture.

This will, in turn, place pressure and compression, in a sustained fashion at the base of the neck compressing a nerve which is the genesis of the headache.

This nerve is called the greater occipital nerve

as thumping beats were exported from the U.S. and Great Britain to a picturesque landscape bathed in Mediterranean breezes. Fueled (allegedly) by the drug ecstasy, Ibiza’s reputation inched from one of Mediterranean beauty and a hippie backwater to a party place. During the last 10 years, Spanish tourism officials have attempted to maintain the opulent party while also somewhat minimizing it to promote the island for lower-key travelers—hikers, divers, kayakers and sightseeing families.

The tourist season runs from February into October, with the party patrol on hand mostly from June through September. Most locals I met said the best months to be on the island are, therefore, May and October, with June and September following closely behind. Hot and claustrophobic, they said, July and August are

IBIZA, Spain—The party was over. Yet some were still trying valiantly.

“No Closing,” exclaimed a cherry red billboard on the side of the two-lane highway as I steered my rental car away from Ibiza’s lone airport. And then: “The Party Goes On.” But, no, it didn’t. Not really. And that’s why I was visiting Europe’s dance-party capital in fall.

During the height of summer, Ibiza teems with Europeans who crowd into vast nightclubs to ingest questionable substances and dance until morning. After sleeping all day, the story goes, they wake up and do it again. And again.

And maybe one more time. And then they go home.

From October to May, the boompboompboomp of those thunderous

City circled by a mighty stone wall. Down at the marina, the tall spines of sailboats swayed in a 70 F breeze.

Though the party people were home, I was still surprised at what I heard in the heart of the Old City at 12:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning when awakened by jet lag: Absolutely nothing.

Ibiza—or, Eivissa, as spelled locally in Catalan—wasn’t always the party island.

Situated about 100 miles east of the Spanish mainland, it is one of the three major Balearic islands settled by the Phoenicians in the seventh and eighth centuries B.C. The island has passed through many hands, including the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Moors (one guide told me radical Islamists want the island returned to Muslim rule) and self-rule as part of the Balearic chain before becoming part of Spain.

The club scene sprouted roots in the 1980s,

nightclubs drifts largely away, and the island returns to a place celebrated for its subtler charms—rocky coasts, swooping, pine-studded hills and thousands of years of history in the midst of the Mediterranean Sea. Warm with the knowledge that the party people were back home in England, Germany and on the Spanish mainland, I rolled down my windows to take in the sweet-salty air and made the 10-minute drive to Ibiza City, the largest on the island. It has been continuously inhabited for nearly 3,000 years, which makes it one of Europe’s oldest cities.

Ibiza City seemed immediately familiar and like so many well-preserved European haunts, where twisting one-way streets are flanked by stone sidewalks and stucco buildings and where boys kick soccer balls in a tree-shaded plaza surrounded by restaurants and cafes. Up the hill, at the city’s highest point, sat the Old

As I picked through tapas at a restaurant in the old town (octopus, albondigas and red wine—the usual), a couple who had recently moved to Ibiza from England said the streets where we sat would be

jammed during the height of summer.

“Gazillions of people,” the man said.

In October, it was mere dozens.

And during the next few months, the number would only continue to decrease. But that’s no reason not to visit; in reality, Ibiza is open for business year-round,

which makes a trip timed with the holidays a worthy effort, particularly because temperatures still reliably reach the upper 50s. Many restaurants and shops are closed, but not all. And many hotels remain not only open but offer exquisite low-season deals. Crowds are nil, and the best of what the island offers—sweeping rock-cliff views into the moody Mediterranean, nature and endless tapas and vino tinto—remains ample.

Those nonparty charms were quickly apparent. Like the salt.

Yes, the salt. Ibiza salt is a thing, and it’s a thing you’ll find in the island’s better restaurants (and in Barcelona’s too). At Locals Only—one such Ibiza restaurant whose name amplifies its locally sourced food, not the clientele it prefers—each table was topped with a glass jar of the white crystals.

“It is natural,” said my waitress, who had a solid command of English, like most people I met on the island. “There is no—how do you say?—chemical

I ground a little of it into my hand, and it came out almost as powder. It tasted like salt.

Though possibly with less chemical process.

Soon lunch began to arrive, starting with a bowl of glistening green olives, a basket of crusty bread beside a bottle of locally produced olive oil.

“Mmmmmmm,” my wife said. “I don’t think I’ve ever had olives this good. Who knew the party island could be so cultured?”

I popped an olive into my mouth. Yes, it was that good. It wasn’t just plump and salty; there were layers of flavour weaving between briny

anchovy and bright lemon zest. It was a small, subtle revelation but quickly made Ibiza seem richer than its reputation.

At breakfast the next morning on the plaza square, Placa d’Espanya, where cafes are clustered tightly together, I ordered a breakfast of tomato and manchego cheese on a baguette and watched people chat in rapid Spanish, read newspapers and smoke cigarettes. It was all so quaintly normal. I began to wonder if the island’s party reputation was overstated. Word was circulating that a Saudi prince was visiting—not difficult to believe based on the hulking, gleaming

boat sitting in the marina—but otherwise, life was so gentle and ordinary. Even the parking was cooperating; from October to May, meters don’t need to be fed in Ibiza City between 2 and 5 p.m. In high season, they must be fed all day long.

Then I remembered that the reputation most likely is not overblown. I had come at this time of year for a reason. And it wasn’t just the parking.

Though a massive cruise ship sat quietly in the marina after unloading the latest batch of visitors, the long row of businesses facing the water were closed that afternoon—No. 5 Ibiza, Angelo’s Bar and El Bucanero restaurant.

I wondered whether this was a result of the afternoon siesta or if they were closed for the season.

That night, about 10:30, I walked by again looking for the answer.

Sure enough, everything remained closed. The lone exception, Foly’s Cafe, offered a vision of what all those storefronts probably present during the height of tourism season: Men on white furniture smoking cigarettes over small cups of coffee, a TV flashing with a soccer game. It wasn’t difficult to imagine the strip teeming with revelers in July. On this night, it was still.

As I wound my way back to my apartment through the narrow stone streets of the old city, several bars were open and several more were just starting to put out tables and chairs in anticipation of a long

night.

Ibiza wasn’t completely asleep. Just sleepy enough.

On a walk the next morning to the other side of the Ibiza City harbour, I found out what I was missing. The two sides of the harbuor couldn’t have been more different.

Where I was staying was the Old City: Narrow streets hundreds of years old, some charming, quality restaurants and hints of an urban life.

Across the harbour sat Ibiza’s version of 1970s Miami Beach—sprawling, mostly soulless hotels, condos and apartment buildings beside a boardwalk of bikers, joggers and slow-moving families reveling in the sweet Mediterranean air (which isn’t hyperbole— the air actually is sweet.

IF YOU GO

Flights to Ibiza abound during summer from many cities in Europe, with several daily flights from the Spanish mainland. There are far fewer flights during the off-season, but daily flights from Madrid and Barcelona continue on low-cost Spanish airline Vueling (www.vueling. com) and Iberia (www. iberia.com). Ferry service is also offered from Barcelona and Valencia.

The island easily demands a week of exploration—a couple of days for Ibiza City’s historic charms (including Dalt Vila, the upper Old City, which is a fascinating UNESCO World Heritage Site), plus a day or two to explore the dramatic, rocky northern coast.

Blind Spot Assist.

I’m a sucker for M-B’s Intelligent Drive concept. The various systems take data from the various sensors to boost comfort and safety. Systems that think and act somewhat quicker than your average driver!

The first Canadian models will be gas-powered, a turbo-diesel comes in the 2017 model year and a plug-in hybrid is scheduled for 2018. A Coupe version is on the way but no date yet.

The base sticker price is $44,950 but take it up to the premium package, with COMAND navigation and a superb panoramic roof, and you are nudging 50 grand. Load in those extra tricky active safety technologies and you soon hit the mid-50s.

Safety Tip: As road conditions become more challenging, it is even more important to stay focused behind the wheel. If you need to make a call or send a text, pull over somewhere safe or use a highway rest stop to take a break.

MKZ at LA Auto Show

By Lorne Drury LOS ANGELES, CA: After languishing in obscurity in the luxury automotive market for several years, Ford’s Lincoln brand has been on a roll of late.

Sales are up 16.6 per cent in Canada this year with increases of 14 per cent for the MKZ and 64 per cent for the MKX leading the way in the month of October.

Perhaps more importantly, Lincoln has been able to attract a younger demographic with the average of age

of buyers now 58, down from 67 a few years ago.

So with those figures in mind and sales momentum building in North America and globally, particularly in China, Lincoln couldn’t find a more opportune time to introduce their redesigned MKZ midsize sedan than right now when the market is red hot.

They chose California and the eve of the Los Angeles auto show press day to debut the new 2017 model.

It’s a fitting place for the unveiling as California is a

big market for them. Lincoln’s sales have doubled there over the past five years.

In China, the brand was only introduced last year and already the firm has 24 stores there with a new one slated to open about every 10 days in the next year.

As the volume leader for Lincoln, the fortunes of the MKZ are particularly important. So Lincoln has been listening to its customers and incorporated a continued on page 4

Audi at home is offering a ready-to-drive fleets of six vehicles exclusively for residents of select luxury properties in two states.

On the West Coast, the car share scheme will operate at LUMINA by Tishman Speyer, San Francisco’s largest luxury condominium project currently under construction, while the Four Seasons Residences in Miami will offer the service on the East Coast. The service will soon expand to other major U.S. cities.

Residents will be able to book a vehicle instantly and tailor their choice to the kind of driving they expect to do. The fleet currently includes the Audi S7, S5 Cabriolet, SQ5, TT Roadster, Q7, and RS5 Cabriolet.

“Spontaneity, personalization and customization is core to the Audi at home service,” said Mark Del Rosso Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Audi of America. “It provides residents a truly premium experience that suits their daily life and needs, whether it’s a car for a quick getaway out of the city or an extra vehicle for visiting guests.”

The reservation process is simple: interested residents register through the property’s concierge and use a

Upon the conclusion of the reservation, residents simply return the Audi vehicle to the property valet.

All Audi at home vehicles are equipped with Prestige trim, and 24/7 live customer care is offered for drivers’ convenience. Rates – still to be announced – will be charged either hourly or daily. This rate covers services including cleaning, fuel, insurance, local tolls and unlimited mileage. All vehicles onsite are rotated on a regular basis, providing residents a fresh fleet from which to choose.

Another program may offer a clue to costs of participation. Audi on demand, started in San Francisco last April, giving customers within the city limits access to a wide range of vehicles, from the A4 sedan ($155 a day) to the Audi R8 supercar ($1,195 a day). Via an iPhone app, customers select their preferred model and then have it personally delivered to them at the San Francisco location of their choice. keith.morgan@drivewaybc. ca

Crosstrek’s big little changes

By Rob Beintema

2016 Subaru Crosstrek out for a test drive

ROB BEINTEMA

A case of water bottles, an old tire and a cinder block.

Three rather innocuous items on their own, but guaranteed to tighter the ol’ sphincter, get your heart pumping and your brake foot stomping, should you spot any one of them spilled out onto the road ahead.

The 2016 Subaru Crosstrek sailed serenely over those makeshift obstacles in an exercise that was part of a recent local launch of the newest model.

It was just one of the demonstrations designed to show the advantages of added ground clearance.

And the Crosstrek offers an

Rob Beintema

impressive 220 mm (8.7 in) of ground clearance, 75 mm (3.0 in) more than the 145 mm (5.7 in) measurement of the Subaru Impreza it was derived from That extra space between you and the earth below can come in handy during a Canadian winter, El Nino or no El Nino, or, say, for occasionally sneaking over

curbs, in and out of paid parking lots (not that, umm, that wouldn’t be right).

And it was also ably demonstrated during our pseudo-Hipster adventure driving day, starting off in potholed urban traffic, fighting our way out of town, winding through country roads and cottage trails and culminating with some serious off-road challenges. Not to mention our little obstacle exercise.

It’s a tried and true Subaru recipe - jack up the suspension, add a few off-roadish styling cues and, voila, you have a new model!

number of their needs and wants into the 2017 model.

“Our customers are looking for three attributes in a luxury midsize sedan— technologies that ease their everyday experience, a beautiful design that is crafted with attention to detail and a vehicle with impressive power that makes it a pleasure to drive,” said Kumar Galhotra, president of Lincoln.

Lincoln designers have redone the MKZ from the inside out. For example, engineers have gone back to switches and dials on the ventilation and audio functions in place of slider adjustments. As well, interior craftsmanship has been a priority along with special attention to detail to bring out the “quiet luxury” Lincoln is emphasizing in the brand.

Outside, the MKZ features the new look Lincoln front grille.

A potent 3.0-litre V6 twin turbo is available to power the new MKZ. Making 400 hp and 400 lb/ft of torque, this will be the engine of choice for driving enthusiasts. For others, a 245 hp 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine will have to suffice

or a hybrid model that is also returning.

In Canada, all models will have all-wheel drive except the hybrid, which will be front-drive only.

Among the new technology available will be an auto hold feature that keeps the car at a stop with the push

of a button, allowing the driver to take his/her feet off the brake pedal in stopand-go driving.

Also offered will be an enhanced park assist system using ultrasonic sensors to help guide the car into a parallel or perpendicular parking spot.

Another enhanced feature is collision assist with pedestrian detection that can help avoid some frontal collisions or at least lessen the severity of the impact.

Drivers who enjoy taking the car to the limits will benefit from dynamic torque vectoring, part of a Driver’s Package available with the 3.0-litre engine.

This system enhances cornering agility without compromising ride comfort.

The new Lincoln MKZ goes on sales next summer.

ROB BEINTEMA

Shift in a(l)ttitude wells and lower body is not as over-the-top as Outbacks used to be but it still signals a change in attitude as well as altitude.

We can argue about who originated the idea of adding SUV styling and attributes to station wagon or hatchback utility (AMC Eagle, anyone?) but I think we can agree that Subaru popularized that radical concept when everybody else was jumping on the truck-based SUV bandwagon.

The rest of the industry eventually followed Subaru’s lead, with car-based crossovers now making up one of the fastest growing sales segments.

The Crosstrek, starting at $24,995, slips nicely into the bottom of Subaru’s CUV lineup, under the Forester and the Outback models that have evolved steadily in size and refinement, allowing for this latest entry-level option.

Officially, the Crosstrek is a subcompact. But it is a biggish one, straddling the line somewhere between subcompact maneuverability and larger compact roominess and utility.

This five-door, five-passenger hatchback comes in Touring, Sport and Limited trim levels with assorted option packages. It is powered by a 2.0-litre horizontally opposed, four-cylinder boxer engine that is PZEV rated for reduced emissions, making 148 hp and 145 lb/ ft of torque.

Okay, those numbers won’t blow anyone away but there’s enough oomph here to get the job done.

Power is translated through a standard five-speed manual or an optional Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) automatic ($1,300). The manual gearbox may be the most fun way to optimize the motor’s muscle but, statistically, four out of five customers will elect for the CVT automatic tranny that helps makes the Crosstrek one of the most fuel-efficient all-wheel-drive crossover utility vehicles on the road.

Fuel economy is rated at 9.1/7.0L/100km (city/hwy).

In a recent, longer-term test of a 2015 Crosstrek XV, I averaged a real world result of 8.5L/100km (comb). A Crosstrek Hybrid model offers even better mileage with a rating of 7.0/6.9L/100km (city/hwy).

Those numbers don’t really change for 2016 but the new model driven here offers a mid-cycle makeover, humourously referred to as the “Big Minor Change” that updates the Crosstrek with makeover modifications inside and out.

The 2016 Crosstrek drops the “XV” part of its name and has been updated with a new, more aggressive grille, a new front bumper, new front and rear fascias, styling changes to headlight and taillight designs and chrome “hockey stick” trim pieces framing new foglamps.

“Whatever you do, don’t change the wheels,” customers told the company.

So only minor modifications and coloured wheel caps enhance the iconic 17-inch wheel style.

Some of the wilder colours are gone, with Plasma

green and Tangerine Orange exchanged for an equally vibrant hue of Hyper Blue.

But the orange carries on, in a way, inside the car with new orange sport stitching lining the seats and door trim, extending to the seats, steering wheel and shifters of upper trim levels. The steering wheel itself also features a new design with more intuitive controls. And Subaru has gained significant ground with an interior that is finally up to par with its competitors, with better quality and new soft touch materials complemented by new silver and high gloss black trim pieces.

The 2016 Subaru Crosstrek ranges from its $24,995 starting price to a fully-loaded $31,895 Limited level with a varying range of available content in between, packages that include the EyeSight stereo camera monitoring system with Pre-Collision throttle management and active braking, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Lane Departure and Sway Warning.

Add up all those “big minor changes” for 2016, consider the content and the packaging of a “right-sized” subcompact with room for five, 636 litres of cargo room expanding to a maximum of 1,470 litres with a flip of the seats, even 680 kg (1,500 lb) towing ability, and that added ground clearance along with all-weather, all-wheel-drive capabilities and you have an all-round contender sure to make the short list of any savvy automotive shopper.

Mary Irwin Theatre at the Rotary Centre for the Arts 421 Cawston Ave. Kelowna Be transported to the early 19th century in a unique performance that pairs music and poetry.

Kelowna Secondary School’s Night Owl Theatre will present an evening of one-act plays using both comedy and drama to explore the world of unique characters.

The Other Room, written by Ariadne Blayde and directed by KSS student Antony Knight, is a compelling glimpse into a unique and misunderstood mind.

In the play, Austin is a brilliant teenage astronomer who happens to have autism. Lily is his popular classmate who also happens to have an interest in astronomy.

A chance encounter after school leads to a growing connection between them. The play uses four characters to reveal Austin’s inner world and his constant struggle to connect with the world.

What’s it like to be awake when the rest of your world is asleep?

Playwright Jonathan Dorf and director AnneMarie Holmwood seek to answer this question in the play 4 A.M. Through a series of connected scenes and monologues a variety of characters explore the magic hour.

Learn the lessons of hope and fear as they rise to the surface at 4 a.m. and ask: “Is the monster under the bed real and …is there anybody out there?”

The play will run from Thursday, Nov. 26, to

Saturday, Nov. 28. Curtain will be at 7 p.m. for all shows, and doors open at 6:30 pm.

Tickets are $8 for students, $12 for adults, and can be purchased either at the door or by emailing nightowltheatre@gmail. com.

Canadian playwright, director and performer TJ Dawe brings his play Medicine to UBC Okanagan this weekend. in London in 1809.

Masterpieces created by musical geniuses Beethoven, Schumann and Sor along with romantic poetry by Blake, Wordsworth and Shelley are the focus of the concert.

Along with those performers, the star of the concert is the 200-year-old Broadwood

Grand piano, virtually identical to the one that John Broadwood’s London firm shipped to Beethoven.

Both the piano and the guitar were still relatively new at the beginning of the 19th Century, but they quickly became popular household objects.

Blues singer Kenny Wayne will perform Saturday at the Laurel Packinghouse in Kelowna, supporting a fundraiser for the Okanagan chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.

projected boldness and creative energy during the outset of the Industrial Revolution, as society shifted from agriculture to manufacturing.

Rapid social change led composers and poets to introduce the expressive romantic style.

Played in the performance by Kelowna early keyboard specialist Susan Adams, the Broadwood Grand is larger and more powerful, with an extended range and many more strings than previous instruments.

When Adams purchased this particular grand piano, it was literally an unplayable wreck, a tangle of broken strings, covered in dust and a greasy gas-light residue.

It took nearly a year for technician Marinus van Prattenburg to restore it in his Peachland shop.

Because of the need to minimize the risk of damage, the Broadwood has appeared in concert in Kelowna only twice.

Guitarist and luthier Clive Titmuss has created two matching early guitars, smaller and lighter than their modern versions.

He joins with Kelowna classical guitarist Alan Rinehart to feature a work composed by Fernando Sor. Terence Kelly has studied and mastered the style and cadence of 19th Century English.

He recently received a Lifetime Achievement Jesse award from the Vancouver theatre community for his work.

The dream-like work of Kelowna poet Janice Notland rounds out the program, with Kelly reading two recently

published poems underscored by the soulful music of archRomantic composer Robert Schumann.

Tickets are available from the Rotary Centre Box Office or online at www.selectyourtickets. com, by phone at 250717-5304.

This concert is sponsored in part by the Central Okanagan Foundation The Society of Friends of the Early Music (EMS) is a registered non-profit organization dedicated to the performance of, and education about music written before about 1850 played on period instruments.

The society produces historically-informed concerts, videos and recordings on a variety of keyboards, guitars and lutes in their collection.

Laurel Packinghouse 1304 Ellis St. Kelowna 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.

Wayne was born in Spokane but raised in New Orleans, and his music recalls the era when piano players like Fats Domino, Amos

The Kelowna Folk Club will present singer Corinna Rose in its house concert series this weekend.

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)

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 to the music through a fog of analog feedback loops and synths.

Along with Mangan’s solo interpretation of the tracks will be select songs from his music history.

The final movie for Katniss and crew opens this weekend with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Teamed with a group of her closest friends including Gale, Finnick and Peeta, Katniss Everdeen goes on a mission to liberate the citizens of Panem and stage an assassination attempt on President Snow.

The ever-impressive cast includes Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Jeffrey Wright, Sam Claflin, Jena Malone, Stanley Tucci and Donald Sutherland. This movie also features the final performance of the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.

The movie is getting great reviews, but would still be a blockbuster even if it didn’t.

And good news for “Tributes” (the nickname for Hunger Games fans)—although this is being called the final installment of the series, the producers have hinted there could be more.

In the raunchy comedy The Night Before, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen and Anthony Mackie play childhood buddies who have escaped their ordinary lives by getting together every Christmas Eve in New York City.

Knowing that this year may be the last for them to get together for their very untraditional festivities, the trio go all-out in a reckless and crazy manner, getting themselves into situations that provide both crude and slapstick laughs.

Director Jonathan Levine, Gordon-Levitt and Rogen previously teamed up four years ago for the comedydrama 50/50. This is the second Christmas-themed movie in as many weeks for Anthony Mackie (Captain America: The Winter Soldier) as he was featured in Love the Coopers last week.

Opening at Landmark Cinemas Paramount Theatre is Spotlight, a fact-based movie that is getting stupendous critical reviews.

It is about The Boston Globe’s Pulitzer Prizewinning “Spotlight” team and their coverage of the Massachusetts Catholic sex abuse scandal in 2001. Their year-long investigation uncovers

The Gift of Giving luncheon will be hosted by the Missionwood Retirement Resort on Wednesday, Dec. 2, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

Missionwood is located at 1075 Barnes Rd. in Kelowna.

The retirement resort puts on a turkey luncheon with all the traditional Christmas trimmings as a fundraiser in

On behalf of Kelowna Yamaha & Marine, dealer principal Terry Poirier (left) presented a donation of $3,000 to the Royal Canadian Legion branch 26 in Kelowna, represented by Annette and Jim Shackleton. The donation was raised by the dealership’s recent snowmobile open house and B.C. premiere of Thunderstruck 14.

“We’ve been wanting to update the cards for a while and could never come up with the right design.

“Then one of our (library) board members suggested holding a contest to invite people to submit their own concepts.”

The contest is open to anyone in the ORL region, which spans from Golden and the Shuswap, south to Osoyoos and west to Princeton.

Entries can be either handmade or digital, and have to be submitted by Jan. 4, 2016.

Full contest details and entry forms are available at any of the ORL’s 29 branches or online at orl. bc.ca/cardcontest.

The Okanagan Regional Library has invited local artists and graphic designers of all ages to submit their ideas for new library cards.

Four winning designs will be chosen and printed, with each designer receiving a $100 cash prize.

The current library card design hasn’t been substantially updated in over three decades.

“I heard one ORL member say she outlined her card in fluorescent marker so it was easy to spot because it was the most valuable thing in her wallet,” said Marla O’Brien, public relations and fundraising manager for the Okanagan Regional Library.

ISMOND, JOHN ANTHONY APRIL 6, 1939 ~ NOVEMBER 20, 2014 To the living, I am gone. To the sorrowful, I will never return. To the angry, I was cheated, but to the happy, I am at peace, and to the faithful, I have never left. I cannot be seen, but I can be heard. So as you stand upon a shore, gazing at a beautiful lake remember me. As you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty, remember me. As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity, remember me. Remember me in your heart, your thoughts, your memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laughed. For if you always think of me, I will never be gone.

We miss you dad, Love your family.

Richard was born April 2, 1928 in Kelowna, BC and passed away peacefully at the Brandt’s Creek Mews on November 17, 2015.

Long-time orchardist in the Kelowna Mission area.

Richard loved his property, and was especially touched when the upper portion which became developed into residential housing had a park set aside in the family name. Due to his fond memories and family outings over the years, what is now known as “Kuiper’s Peak” was definitely Richard’s favorite place. He will be remembered for his hard work ethic, his keen intellect and for being an avid world traveller. At his request there will be no formal service. He will be laid to rest in the family grave to rejoin his late wife Edith who predeceased him in 2012. He is survived by his 2 children: daughter Charlotte (Karl) Hammann and his son Vincent (Connie). A special thank you to Dr. Hignell and especially the wonderful and caring staff at the Brandt’s Creek Mews for all the love and care they showed our dad over the past 4 years.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.

FANSLAU, HELMUT On November 17, 2015 at the age of 89, Helmut passed peacefully into the arms of Jesus. He is predeceased by Ursula, his dear wife and the love of his life for 64 years, his parents, one brother, four sisters and granddaughter Lisa.

He is survived by his sons Ron (Gloria) Fanslau, Harry Fanslau; his daughters Norma Anderson, Elenor (Dave) Hansum, all of Kelowna; his grandchildren Andy (Joya) Fanslau, Aaron (Sarah) Fanslau, Jonah (Ashley) Anderson, Jodi Anderson, Jeff (Donna) Hansum and Jordan (Julia) Hansum. His legacy lives on in his nine great grandchildren. Our lives were blessed by this wonderful man, a true gentleman, devoted father, loving grandfather, great grandfather and friend to many. Heartfelt thanks to Dr. Marty Steinruck for taking exceptional care of our Dad and to the palliative nurses for their care and compassion in his final days. Special thanks to his daughter Elenor, who once again provided love and support around the clock, as she did for our Mom. Visitation for family and close friends will be held on Monday, November 23, 2015 from 1 – 2 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, Kelowna followed by a Graveside Service at Kelowna Memorial Park Cemetery, 1991 Bernard Avenue.

SCHMIDT, Christel Christel Schmidt passed away peacefully at KGH on November 9, 2015 at the age of 79. Christel

Schulte was born in Dortmund, Germany in the spring of 1936.

Shortly after the outbreak of WWII in 1939, Christel’s parents moved their family to the “safer” Black Forest region of Germany near the Swiss border to avoid Allied bombing raids. Christel survived the war and finished her schooling in Germany. She married and emigrated from Germany to Canada in May, 1959 and settled in Winnipeg. Christel was proud to become a Canadian Citizen in May, 1975. Christel loved to cook and she was good at it.

She owned and operated the Main Street Cafe in Winnipeg, serving European fare which was a favourite among many European immigrants who were also building their new lives in Winnipeg, Canada.

She eventually left the never ending work of running the Cafe to work as a medical office assistant for Dr. Neuman at his medical office on Portage Ave. in Winnipeg. After working as a medical assistant for a period of years, Christel left Dr. Neuman’s medical office to work as a realtor with Royal LePage.

While in Winnipeg, Christel met an attractive businessman, Abram (“Abe”) Schmidt who had also previously emigrated from Germany to build a new life in Canada. They got along famously, fell in love, and married in July, 1992. When Abe decided to retire, he sold his successful steel supply and fabricating business and the couple moved to Kelowna. Christel enjoyed her retired life with Abe in the Okanagan Valley. Cooking and travelling were among her favourite activities. Abe was the true love of her life and she missed him terribly when he passed away in 2009.

Christel was a person who really cared for those who could not help themselves. Her personal passion was helping the local chapter of the SPCA. Later in life, Christel adopted a lovely black cat named Nahla who was a loved companion until shortly before Christel’s passing, when Nahla was returned to the care of the SPCA. Christel is survived by her four sisters, Renate Barschinger, who

presently lives in Pennsylvania, Uta Peter and Heidi Lengelsen who still

live in Germany, and Ingrid Linke, presently of the Canary Islands.

Christel will be missed. At Christel’s direction there will be no formal memorial service. Her sister, Renate and friends plan to get together to celebrate her life privately. Anyone wishing to honor Christel’s life is invited to make a financial gift to support their local SPCA.
