Kelowna rower not done yet with Olympic dream Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

fter winning a silver medal at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, Scott Frandsen had his mind made up. It was time to leave competitive rowing behind once for all, to retire from the sport and carry on with the rest of his life. Or was it? Frandsen spent two years in the “real world” as he describes it, pursuing a career and trying to live a more domestic life than he had known in all his years as a world-class athlete. But, in the end, the allure of the physical challenges and the thrill of elite level competition that accompanied rowing for his country was simply too much to resist for the Kelowna native. “I really thought I was done,” Frandsen said of his retirement in 2008. “I had an Olympic medal, and the feeling for a lot of amateur athletes is that you get to compete at a high level for a while, but at some point you have to move on and get on with your life. “I had a good education, I really felt like I was ready to leave rowing behind.” But between the urging of his rowing partner, Dave Calder, and a highly persuasive voice inside, Frandsen knew he had an itch that still needed scratching. “Dave had been whispering at me about it, and I also got thinking again about how much I enjoyed getting ready, the preparation, and the need to compete. “I realized how much I missed the lifestyle and the routine. I decided at

that point, that the rest of life can wait for a little bit longer.” By the end of 2010, Frandsen had committed himself to a comeback and moved from Vancouver back to the national training centre in Victoria. By the summer of 2011, it was apparent to Frandsen he’d made the right decision. Frandsen and Calder re-established themselves as legitimate contenders at the world level by winning a bronze medal in pairs at the 2011 World Cup in Lucerne, Switzerland. Then a year later, last month in Lucerne, the pair grabbed the silver medal, finishing just 2.7 seconds behind the heavily-favoured New Zealand team. Now, four years after retiring for the first time, the competitive juices are flowing as freely as ever for 31year-old Frandsen who, along with Calder, will row for Olympic glory in the pairs event next month at the 2012 Games in London. And once again, the Canadian duo will be chasing the Kiwis, Eric Murray and Hamish Bond, who haven’t lost a race since 2009. “I’m very happy about the position Dave and I are in,” said Frandsen. “We’ve closed the gap significantly over the last year. We have areas we still need to improve on, we have work to do and the (Kiwis) are still the favourites. “They were able to kick away on us in the last half in Lucerne, but we were right there. We showed ourselves something that day and maybe we can make them worry a little bit, getting them squeezing their oars a bit little tighter. To win will be tough, but we’re a contender, and that’s exciting.”

SCOTT FRANDSEN (right) and Dave Calder celebrate their silver medal win in men’s pairs at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. Frandsen knows a thing or two about the pressure and expectations of the Olympic Games. In his previous two trips to the Olympics, the world’s ultimate athletic stage, Frandsen had been pulled through every conceivable range of emotion. In 2004 in Athens he was a member of the Canadian men’s eights crew which was, by all accounts, in a class of its own and a shoo-in to win the gold medal. The Canadian men fell well short of expectations, finishing a dis-

ANNIVERSARY sales event

appointing fifth. “In ‘04, according to us and the Canadian press, we were just supposed to go in and pick up the gold medal and that was all there was to it,” he said. “But crazy things happen in sports, especially when the pressure is on. We had a terrible race. Not only did it not happen for us, it fell apart, it was a complete disaster. That’s something you don’t forget.”

Parliament puts wineries a step closer to free trade in Canada Judie Steeves

versy, Bill C-311, permitting free trade in wines across provincial borders, passed third reading

STAFF REPORTER

After all the contro-

unanimously in the House of Commons Wednesday evening. It will now go to the

Senate for approval before Royal Assent. Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan said

Thank you Kelowna! For making our 7th annual YMCA Healthy Kids Day a huge success!

there were 287 votes in favour of the private members’ bill put forward by Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas, and none against. “It’s taken more than two years of working with the provinces, industry and parliamentarians and we got it done. Our grapes will finally be free from federal regulations,” said Cannan. Albas said he is hopeful the new legislation will be on the books by the end of June so Okanagan winemakers can capitalize on the current season. “There is a huge potential for increased wine tourism on account of Canadians now being able to legally take B.C. wine back home, for the first time in history,” he added. Thursday, B.C. cabinet minister Rich Coleman, who is responsible for liquor and gambling policy, announced that B.C. residents will now

Ron Cannan be able to bring back up to one case of wine, four bottles of spirits and a combined total of six dozen beer, cider and coolers from other provinces for personal consumption— without paying additional taxes. He said that would bring B.C. in line with exemptions permitted by Ontario, Nova Scotia and the Yukon, which are among the highest in Canada. “As another step towards modernizing our liquor laws, this change

provides flexibility for British Columbians to legally bring back a case of wine or bottle of their favourite spirits when they visit other Canadian provinces. It updates outdated and arcane rules that most probably don’t know even exist,” commented Coleman. Currently, Canadians may not legally take bottles of wine back across the border from province to another, as part of legislation that is decades old. Under the new legislation, tourists from another province who visit local wineries would also be able to purchase wine and have it shipped home by the winery, instead of carrying it out and having to consume it before returning home. More information about the bill is available on a website called freemygrapes.ca jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

CLOSE-UP ▼ OLYMPIC ENCORE

Still, the crushing defeat did nothing to quell Frandsen’s competitive desire and he would continue to train and compete with Canada’s national program. He made the transition to pairs with Calder and, after winning gold at a World Cup in the summer of 2008, the pair followed up with a silver at the Olympics, Canada’s first medal of the Beijing Games. Only the veteran and favoured Australian crew was better on that August day in China. “I remember the overwhelming feeling of satisfaction, not because it was retribution for Athens, but because Dave and I went out and produced our best,” Frandsen recalled. “Obviously to win would have been the ultimate, but when everything was on the line, we showed up and did everything we could. “When you walk away knowing that, it’s satisfying. Not getting gold still eats at me a little, but that’s just what being competitive is all about.” And that competitive blood has been pumping through Frandsen’s veins as long as his mom, Linda, can remember. Even as a golfer, hockey and lacrosse player in Kelowna before he took up rowing, Linda recalls Scott’s distaste for the concept of being second best. That demeanor didn’t change much when he moved to Victoria and began rowing at Brentwood College, or two years later when he joined the University of California Berkeley Golden Bears rowing team. “I remember when he was a freshman at Berkeley and his team came in second in a big race, and it just burned him,” said Linda Frandsen. “By 10 o’clock that night the rest of the guys were getting over it, and Scott couldn’t believe it wasn’t just killing everyone to have lost. “For a long time after that he wore a rubber band on his wrist and every once in a while he would snap it just to feel the pain, a reminder of what it was like to lose. “He wanted to maintain that feeling. He’s certainly matured over the years, but he’s never taking losing lightly.” Considering his pas-

sion for competition and his drive to succeed, Canadian pairs coach Terry Paul says it’s no great surprise that Frandsen has thrived over the years in a rowing environment. “Scott is intensely competitive and that’s what drives him,” said Paul, a gold medal winner with the Canadian men’s eights at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. “He’s passionate about everything he does, everything has to be done to the absolute best of his ability, even getting down to the lake to train. “Everything in his life is a race,” added Paul. “He has that kind of intense personality that rubs off, he’s been instrumental in helping lead our small boat group, they see the incredibly high level he operates at. On top of it all, he’s one of the most skilled athletes I’ve ever worked with.” When it comes to their preparations and expectations for London, Paul believes experience, desire and skill will all work in Frandsen’s and Calder’s favour. “These two guys have been through the ringer together and have developed this partnership,” Paul said. “Having gone through experiences both in positive and negative ways, it’s helped Scott to mature and has given him the ability to filter out the things that are distractions. “They’ve established themselves as the next crew after New Zealand and I think they’ve rattled those guys a little bit. (Scott and Dave) have confidence in what they’re able to do, they’ve been at this level a long time, and given all the right factors, anything is possible. I like where they’re at right now.” As for Frandsen’s ex-

pectations, the Kelownaborn rower plans on leaving London with no regrets. “Of course our goal is not just to go, we want to come away from there as two-time Olympic medalists,” said Frandsen. “Above all, if we can walk away from the Olympics and know that we raced the best we

could, then nothing matters more than that.” In early July, Fransden, Calder and the rest of the Canadian team will head to Italy for a preOlympic training camp. The first heats in London are set for July 28, with the rowing finals to be run on Aug. 3. So will the 2012

Games be Frandsen’s last hurrah in the sport, much like he expected it would be back in 2008 ? “I wasn’t leaving it open after Beijing. I am now. I appreciate this lifestyle too much. I can’t honestly say I’ll be ready to leave it behind. We’ll see.” whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

There was so much work to do. The kids would go to their bedrooms; Jennifer and I would go to the study. We

had separate desks on opposite sides of the room; our house was like a library,” said Paul. However, he believes student life actually brought the family closer together. “Being students helped us relate to each other,” said Paul. “Lifelong learning was always something Jennifer and I tried to inspire within the children. To me, if you’re always excited about learning something new—just for the excitement of learning it—you never get tired of what you do. “Learning is a way of staying excited, and really, a way of keeping a young outlook on life.” Brian echoed his father’s sentiments. “I see education as a way to constantly challenge yourself and expand your boundaries. Variety in knowledge makes you more of a robust person, I think.” This fall, Brian will keep the Stephenson family tradition of education going strong. He is continuing his post-secondary pursuits at UBC’s Vancouver campus, where he’s been accepted into the law program.

Burning ban expanded

Starting June 15, the current open burning ban in place in the Okanagan will be expanded to include the entire Kamloops Fire Centre. The move is being made, says the wildfire management branch, in order to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect the public. The prohibition will remain in place until Oct. 15 in the in the Kamloops, Vernon, Penticton (which includes the Central Okanagan area), Merritt and Lillooet fire zones, or until the public is informed otherwise. Specifically, the open fire prohibition applies to: • the burning of any waste, slash or other materials • the burning of stubble or grass • the use of fireworks or burning barrels of any size or description This ban does not restrict campfires that are a halfmetre high by a half-metre wide, or smaller, and does not apply to cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes. To report a wildfire or unattended campfire, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or dial *5555 on a mobile phone.

Province offers fiscal break for industrial equipment use Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Companies and charities that use industrial equipment will receive a big operating cost break thanks to the provincial government. The province announced in Kelowna on Thursday a move to eliminate a rule that makes it mandatory for industrial equipment—such as scissor lifts, small tractors and other industrial utility vehicles—to be registered, licensed and insured by ICBC, as well as carry individual regular thirdparty liability insurance. That will save equipment rental companies and some non-profit groups thousands of dollars per year, says the past president of the B.C. Local Canadian Rental Association. Jim Clipperton said rthe government’s move means businesses like his—he operates NorVal Rentals, which has operations in Lake Country, Vernon and Armstrong— will save because they will not have to insure every vehicle that carries a person, a load or is used in a public place twice from now on. “As well as being expensive, it was a huge, huge paperwork nightmare.” He said he expects the change will save him about $34,000 per year and that some larger rental outfits, such as Winn Rentals in Kelowna where the announcement was made, could save as much as $100,000 per year. Clipperton said while

the double insurance rule has been in place for many years, it is only within the last four to five years that it has been actively enforced. With a growing number of tickets being issued to companies for not complying with the double insurance rule, the rental association has been calling on the government to make the change. Okanagan-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, who made the announcement on behalf of Attorney General Shirley Bond, said he and his fellow Central Okanagan MLAs Steve Thomson (Kelowna-Mission) and Ben Stewart (Westside-Kelowna) started working on getting the change made after a local businessman approached them with concerns about the rule. Until yesterday, industrial equipment like small earth movers, scissor lifts, trailers, golf cart beverage carts used at golf courses and other mobile equipment used on job sites had to be insured for when it was kept indoors and carry ICBC insurance for when they were used on a “public road.” Clipperton said the definition of a public road, according to ICBC officials, included parking lots that are open to the public. Letnick called the double insurance requirement “red tape,” something the Liberal government wants to route out in order to help businesses thrive in today’s tough economic times.

But he stressed there will still be a requirement for third-party liability insurance. “We want to stress that we’re not compromising on safety with this move,” he said. The move was applauded by Clipperton and others, including the head of the Shriners service club in B.C. Shriners B.C. executive director Kim Harrison, who was also in Kelowna for the announce-

ment, said he expects it will save his organization about $35,000 per year, money that will go to help sick children instead of paying for extra insurance and licencing. The Shriners are wellknown for their participation in parades and other events across North America, often driving small scooters, motorized gocarts and other miniature vehicles. Up to now, each of those small vehicles had to be insured twice.

The Shriners raise hundreds of thousands of dol-

lars every year for causes like sick and burned chil-

Extra burden on elders who are still fit to drive

Open letter to Christy Clark, Premier of B.C.: Re: Medical examination for drivers aged 80 years or over. In May of 2012 both my wife and myself received a Drivers Medical Form from the office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles. This is the second one we received in the past two years. The first form we received in 2010 as we were turning 80. This form was to be taken to our family doctor to fill out and examine us. The total cost was $127 each. We were told by our doctor there is nothing medically wrong with either of us—we passed with flying colours. I had my drivers renewed, and it is supposed to be good for five years. So in checking with the powers to be, including our MLA, we were told we have to have this exam every two years, for an additional cost of $127 each.

Vending choice should be an informed decision

he most recent victim of the war on junk food was downed this week in New York. Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed a ban on the sale of sugary drinks larger than 16 ounces, ultimately killing the Big Gulp. The decision isn’t exactly a fan favourite among rotund Americans. According to one poll 63 per cent opposed it, with 23 per cent in support. Its unpopularity, however, hasn’t deterred Bloomberg, who’s still lined up to implement the regulation. While it’s interesting to think of a cultural thirst quencher taking a nosedive for the betterment of a city, my question is how long will it take for the policy to take root closer to home. The war on fatties has been going on for quite awhile, and B.C. once led the charge. It’s a vague memory now, but before 2006 vending machines

in public spaces were filled with chips, candy and pop. Then, under former premier Gordon Campbell, junk food was replaced with healthier choices. Municipal programs to make healthier residents have taken root in the years that followed. Kelowna’s food vendor policy, for example, ensures that outdoor eateries offer something with a healthy twist. While I’m always glad for options, there’s something unsettling about mothering edicts. Shouldn’t we already know not to drink a bucket full of liquid sugar, or tempt diabetes by queuing up at the chocolate bar machine? Or are we, as a society, so muddled that government intervention is the

only way to deal with complex social issues? Obviously fat fighters have a bottom line, as well as our bottoms in mind. Health care costs related Kathy to obesity are more Michaels enormous than the expanding waistlines of North Americans, but to me education should be the slimming solution. I have faith that we can adapt, and it’s reinforced from my group of friends. Whether in Paris, Vancouver or Kelowna they’ve taken to the Earth because they’ve learned the downside of take-out, and most now boast how well their own salad gardens grow. We’ve seen our parents’ generation struggle with the fallout of their poor decisions more often than we’d like to,

KATHARTIC

and even those of us who have made mistakes have made strides to correct our ways. But if this hard-earned understanding was just taken away with the options, wouldn’t all that’s happened be for naught? The following generation could be ripe for the same kind of dietary fob-ups that fouled up my parents’ generation in the first place. It’s not like they traded their health away consciously. Frankly, if governments are so keen on dealing with the obesity epidemic then they need to invest in education on nutrition and maybe create back-to-theearth policies at a school level. And if there’s no money for it, they should just start taxing the companies who’ve made a literal killing doling out fat. Better to make Big Gulp pay, than take it away.

▼ FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

Budget would let industry go unchecked follow any coherent principle or logic. Bill C-38 is more an Omnibus bill than a budget implementation bill, containing everything in it but the kitchen sink. This omnibus bill subverts the Parliamentary process by denying Members of Parliament and the Can-

adian public the ability to fully study, understand or respond to the introduction, amendment or repeal of nearly 70 federal laws. If passed in its current form, this bill would undo decades of environmental law, profoundly degrade the Canadian government’s ability to

defend our environment, and give the fossil fuel industry free reign to build pipelines and recklessly expand the oil sands, largely unchecked by environmental regulations or public participation. This is unacceptable. We must immediately abandon Bill C-38,

and ensure that any future legislation on the environment receives adequate study and debate before the appropriate committees without the use of time allocation. Pat Shaughnessy, Kelowna

▼ WESTSIDE

Time for action to get billboards brought down

To the editor: While driving into Kelowna after being absent for some time, it was disgusting to once again see the pathetic mess of billboards at the top of the west hill. It is disgraceful to have such a beautiful view of rthe hills, lake and the valley ruined by this greed. I feel sorry for the Westside people having to view this everyday. Yes, we understand there is one set of laws for all Canadians and then ant

other set of laws for First Nations, but do the few people that have rights to these properties not have any respect for the rest of us in the Okanagan? After the millions of dollars being generated on WFN land leases, do the few people involved need to ruin our city for a few more dollars for themselves? We always hear about how the First Nations people want to protect the natural environment and nature.

I saw an article in a Vancouver newspaper promoting a development on the Westside. It read: “…the Westbank First Nations Band is one of the most socially progressive bands in Canada.” Is this an example of protecting our environment and being progressive? We see millions of dollars being given to the WFN in land swaps and construction management contracts. Is our provincial government not capable of negotiating these

billboards off the land, when they are working on these agreements? You would think the federal government would be concerned about preserving the beauty of our country, yet you drive up the hill and you see a huge billboard with the picture of Dan Albas, MP, encouraging this mess. It would be interesting to hear what he would have to say about this issue. I personally will not do business with anyone advertising on these bill-

boards, including anything owned by the Pattison group, and I would encourage all of you to do the same. If there is anyone on the Westside willing to start an action group to see what we could do about this mess, I would be the first to join and assist. Maybe its not impossible to return this area to its natural beauty.

Seniors penalized for keeping fit and competent SPRINGFIELD BULK FOODS Senior Drivers A10 This means that for the privilege of driving in B.C. if you are over 80 years old it is going to cost an additional $5.29 per month, or for both of us $10.58 per month, over and above every other driver as long as we drive in B.C. Both my wife and I are good drivers. We have not had any claims, or tickets, since we can remember. So why are seniors over 80 singled out? What’s

wrong with the 70 year olds or the 60 year olds? A lot of them have the same medical conditions as an 80 year old. We have a very limited income, this is just another nail in our coffin. There are 84,000 seniors over the age of 80, only 1,500 are referred to take the Driver Assessment. But all of them who need to drive must take the medical examination every two years, and pay for it. This infringes on the

rights of seniors over 80. Part 1 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms: Equality Rights; 15 (1) Every individual is equal before and under the Law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, nation of ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability. Section 2 Subsection

(1) (1) Oxford; Amelioration - make or become better. This is not right, and someone has to have some common sense, and

do something about this injustice. Recently we had Seniors Week in B.C. and all of us seniors over 80 better remember how we are being screwed if we still have to pay this extra cost just for the privilege to drive in B.C. By the way, if I don’t take the medical in 45 days, they will take my drivers licence away. Ted Hauptman, Kelowna

With just two days under her belt as the new executive director of the Kelowna Museums Society, Lesley Moore admits her brain was buzz-

pull to this area after being a regular visitor for the past 25 years or so. Moore says she has watched the growth in the Kelowna Museums as she worked in the heritage field in different parts of B.C. and is impressed

with its strong connection to the community. “Museums are about the stories, the memories and the future of a community,” she said. She likes to see events that tie the exhibits to groups in the community and tell unique stories. For instance, she points to the fact the Kelowna Museum is staging a play called Mary’s Wedding, which ties in to the current wedding exhibit called Something Borrowed, Something Blue, as well as to the Military Museum because it’s set in wartime. It’s a Canadian play being produced by Shoreline Theatre in the Laurel Packinghouse June 20 to July 1. She sees lots of “wonderful potential” in the Kelowna Museums, saying there is currently much going on behind the scenes in the evolution of the museums. For instance, virtual museums are evolving. They are like a parallel world, but one can’t exist without the other, she noted. “I’m fascinated by an interactive kiosk where you could do research or share information. It’s a new idea.

her the physical facilities and goes over the nuts and bolts of the operation. “We’ve worked hard to imbed ourselves in the community,” he says, so there are many partnerships with such groups as the wine industry, the orchard industry, the Westbank First Nations and many other organizations and interest groups. Moore says she feels very welcome here and looks forward to meeting the community in the coming months. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Business world grappling with new social media frontier Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Social media is still a fairly new frontier for many business professionals, but old school principles of networking are at its core, says one of the men behind a company that’s at the forefront of innovating within the medium. “Old, white men say, ‘Business happens belly to belly.’ That’s still happening today,” said Kemp

Edmonds, a professional service consultant at B.C. based HootSuite, who was speaking in Kelowna at the Metabridge conference Thursday. It’s just that bellies meet in a virtual setting, and depending on the platform the relationships may differ. A good chunk of the population by now has a Facebook account where they gab with friends and share family photos, but social networking for the

sake of business may be best served elsewhere. Google+ is mainly men interested in technology, Pinterest is for young women who are interested in shopping and LinkedIn is a means to start building your business base. The latter is almost like an interactive rolodex, and it shouldn’t be filled with people with whom you have no connection. If you’re adding someone onto your LinkedIn account, he said, you

should explain to them why they should be in your network. And when it comes to creating a brand online, there are four things that should be kept in mind. First, define your goals. Then research your audience and understand the psychology of your target market. Third, prototype content ideas, and fourth, know your end game. It’s the recipe for success that HootSuite was

rrrr…although the calendar says it’s June, my personal thermometer questions that. The lettuce and other greens think it’s great, but the geraniums and marigolds are thinking of diving back down into the dirt until spring arrives again. What’s up with this weird weather? There was even a risk-of-frost warning on the Environment Canada weather website the other night. I’m ready for spring, late spring, and this does not feel much like spring. I had to dig out my socks and shoes and longsleeved shirts this week and I’m not even going hiking in the hills.

WHETHER YOU send your kids to camp or simply take them camping to a site like this at Jewel Lake, do give a kid an opportunity this summer to go camping. In fact, I understand new snow has been falling at higher elevations, so snow melt is going to be delayed even further this year, and getting into the high country will be later too. With that in mind, perhaps we’ll have to concentrate on activities lower down for awhile.

With summer come all sorts of summer camps for kids, ranging from the Science Opportunities for Kids to sports camps, arts camps, outdoors experiences and nature camps. My kids always went to the camps at Silver Lake near Peachland at some point in the summer, and they loved it up there. It’s now operated by the YM/YWCA, but it sounds like the programs are very similar and the facility hasn’t changed much over the years. They learned to paddle a canoe, find their way in the forest, use a bow, and lots of other camping skills. Go to www.ymcaywca.com I sent my grandson to a SOKS day camp last year and he absolutely loved it. He’s bright and had been bored at home

NEWS â&#x2013;ź CANADA

United Nations report on food access embarrassing but true A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC; lthough it may have been galling to have an outsider come into Canada and publicly criticize our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food policies, I believe the United Nations rapporteur was generally right in his assessment of our situation. After touring Canada for a week and a half, Mr. DeSchutter, a special UN rapporteur on the right to food, announced â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely severeâ&#x20AC;? concerns about many Canadiansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer lack of access to food. According to his report last week, there are 800,000 Canadian families (comprising some two million people) who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always know where

their next meal is coming from. One in every 10 families with children under the age of six are food insecure for either physical or economic reasons. DeSchutter claimed Canada is not succeeding at protecting our citizensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; right to food. In particular, he called attention to the desperate situation in many aboriginal communities where poverty and remoteness can make it very difficult

for most people to access enough nutritious food. Although the facts presented in this report should not have surprised many, our government reacted with outrage and anger and basically accused this UN official of sticking his nose in where it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t belong. Our minister for health called him â&#x20AC;&#x153;patronizingâ&#x20AC;? and has tried to discredit his findings because he failed to visit the North.

This week she has acknowledged there are problems with poverty in the North although she still doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate his criticism of our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policies when it comes to solving these issues. The reality is, conditions for many in all parts of our country are abysmal. We might have supermarkets stocked high with food, but there are many who cannot afford to properly feed their families.

OPENING

CELEBRATION

In KELOWNA Cross Island Home OfďŹ ce Collection

The richly detailed mission design of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cross Islandâ&#x20AC;? home ofďŹ ce collection captures the beauty of rich country style with a versatility that enhances any home environment.

ONE IN EVERY 10 FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN UNDER THE AGE OF SIX ARE FOOD INSECURE FOR EITHER PHYSICAL OR ECONOMIC REASONS.

Saying that our aboriginal communities are often experiencing crippling poverty and third world conditions is not stretching the truth. We have all seen the reports on housing, water and other poverty-related issues plaguing many communitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and these issues have been there for decades. These very communities are quite often far removed from urban hubs and their remoteness leads to high food prices.

Traditional foods may be an option for some, but not all are even able to reliably access theseâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;for a variety of reasons. We may not appreciate hearing about it from someone who doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live within our borders, but we are part of an international community. Why is it OK for us to participate in similar programs offering recommendations and advice to other countries and yet we have such a hard time being the recipient of same? I believe it is time for us to take a hard look in the mirror and work to lessen the growing distance between rich and poor within Canada and ensure all our citizens have access to necessities such as nutritious food, clean water and safe, affordable housing.

Lawn alternative: Ornamental grasses I

knew nothing about ornamental grasses until 35 years ago when my mother-in-law brought a pink-tinged variety of ribbon grass from her Vancouver garden to plant in my Oyama perennial border. It was my first garden so donations were welcomed from parents and friends. I now know ribbon grass to be a spreader and would never have it in my garden. Fifteen years later, I discovered blue oat grass, a beautiful, sun-loving, drought- tolerant grass that I will always grow. From there I went on to grow about 28 varieties of ornamental grasses in my nursery, falling in love with this varied family of plants. Many ornamental grasses are suited to our climate. One of the easiest plant groups to maintain, they simply need to be cut back to about four inches above ground in the spring before growth resumes. No other maintenance is needed. They are generally pest and disease free and deer-proof. Grass species fall into two categories. Cool season grasses begin growing in early spring and bloom in June. Warm season grasses remain dormant until April and bloom in fall. There are two types of grasses. Clump-formers are well behaved, gradually increasing in circumference. Spreaders increase rapidly by runners. They may be good for erosion control but are invasive in a garden with other plants. An excellent online resource, for photos and details about grasses hardy to the Okanagan, is www.bluestem.ca. A beautiful, simple landscape can be created with just one variety of ornamental grass. However, by choosing at least one species each, from the cool and warm season grasses, the grass presence during the growing season will be expanded. Adding spring bulbs will provide colour in early spring after the grasses have been cut down. The dying bulb foliage will be hidden as the grasses regrow. Spring bulbs are available in nurseries in the fall. All varieties of nar-

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele cissus and grape hyacinth are deer-proof. Tulips are deer candy. Bulbs that naturalize are the best choice for grass gardens as they are hardy and multiply readily. To add colour and at-

tract pollinators and butterflies to the garden, mass plantings of an easy care, long-blooming perennial may be added. A tall ornamental grass garden could include calamagrostis ‘Karl Foerster’ (feather reed grass) as the early blooming grass and a variety of switch grass (panicum) for fall bloom. Perennials, rudbeckia ‘Goldsturm’ and/or Aster frikartii, could be added. Both bloom for four months without deadheading. These perennials and

grasses need some irrigation during hot dry weather. Drip irrigation to each plant conserves water and reduces weed growth because surrounding ground remains dry. A combination needing little or no water once established could include blue oat grass, sedum

‘Autumn Joy’ and lavender. Gwen Steele is executive director of the nonprofit Okanagan Xeriscape Association. Learn more about Gardening with Nature and plants for the Okanagan on the website www.okanaganxeriscape.org.

Kings confound NHL pundits with playoff run B

y this time next week, the Los Angeles Kings will be the new National Hockey League Stanley Cup champions. Not even the gamblers

and bookies in L.A. really imagined the city’s beloved Kings would actually win the Stanley Cup. However, at this point, it is merely a question of when. Game five Satur-

day or game six at home? Regardless, L.A.’s win makes a palatable finish to the playoffs for Canadian hockey fans, considering various factors. For starters, the Kings

eliminated the Canucks, so now we can at least whimper that we lost to the Cup champions. (Somehow, it seems to hurt less). Neither the Kings nor

New Jersey Devils were ranked within the top six or eight teams expected to play in the final series, let alone become the champions. Yet the Kings got hot and rode the skills of

Time to pull the plug on parole opportunities for convicted murdered Hodge from A23 supposedly impossible mountain. I believed the Kings were definitely a team on the move up, yet probably another year or two away from being a real threat. Like so many others, I was wrong. (Ouch)! It’s always enjoyable to see a team that has never won the Stanley Cup finally grab hockey’s Holy Grail. In the case of the Kings, they joined the NHL way back in 1967. Nobody should have to wait 45 years to win anything. Hang in there St. Louis, Vancouver… there is hope. What this entire playoff year has proven is

that equality has become a reality in the National Hockey League as far as parity of clubs. For a 30-team league, it is both impressive and exciting to realize that any one of about 15 or 20 franchises can seriously contend for the big prize. *** Last warning. Do not forget to take in the annual Veendam Sister City Association’s garage sale at the Kelowna War Memorial Arena parking lot this Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. All proceeds from the group’s event go towards their worthy student exchange (to Veendam) program. Hot dogs, drinks, and other goodies

to munch on are available while you cruise through the tables of stuff. Please remember to arrive an hour or two later in the morning so that I have a chance to get the good stuff first. Thanks. *** Speaking of fun events, I am looking forward to June 24 at the Blue Gator. Any night of live music at the Gator is a fun night, but this particular evening will be the release of Greg Bennett’s latest CD, As One—Jack the Riffer. Bennett wrote and played all 10 songs on this creative collection, with well know Kelowna drummer Jay Swetlishoff sitting in on the kit. The

multi-talented Barry Mathers engineered and recorded the album. Bennett recently moved to the Okanagan, however he’s been around the Canadian music scene most of his life. Some folks may recall him as the lead guitarist with Over the Garden Wall, a band popular for covering Genesis tunes. Bennett—a.k.a. Jack the Riffer—indeed pulls of some tasty guitar riffs on this album. Under the studio guidance of Mathers, Bennett also became fully involved vocally. “Barry told me I should sing my songs myself and really encouraged me throughout each tune,” Bennett beams.

Check him out June 24. He should have quite the support band, I’m guessing. As a super bonus to the night my old chum Gary Turlock is opening the show. Great person, great vocalist, great fun. *** On a sour note, it certainly is mind boggling those residents of West Kelowna, Westside, Kelowna and the surrounding area should have to even entertain the notion that a heinous, sadistic killer such as William David (Shearing) Ennis has the smallest sniff of a chance at freedom. It’s plain repugnant that any Canadian should have to contemplate such

a concept. It is tantamount to the thought of Clifford Olsen walking free. Like most Canadians, I believe myself to be a relatively laid back, forgiving, and somewhat passive bloke regarding most scenarios and situations. However, the fact that Shearing even has the legal right to apply for parole or release from prison after butchering six innocent people including two children, is asinine. Anyone who lived in this area at the time of the disappearance and later discovery of the murdered Johnson and Bentley families will recall how the horrendous crime devastated so many. For some people close to the fami-

lies, those wounds remain open today. Such an absurdity of justice is simply salt in those still gaping wounds. Many of those protesting Shearing’s parole attempt are demanding a clear explanation and justification of why a mass murderer should even have such rights. They argue that those rulings need to be reviewed and likely removed. William David Whateverhewantstocallhimself should be sitting in a prison cell for six concurrent life sentences, with no chance of returning to regular society for the rest of his life. Anything less is a mockery of the tragedy.

SPORTS ▼ SAM OVERTON

Hard running flanker honoured with inaugural Walls Bursary Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

To say it’s been a good year for graduating OKM rugby player Sam Overton would be a mild understatement. The 18-year-old captain of the OKM Huskies rugby club led his team to its best ever finish: A fifth place showing at the AA provincial championships in Abbotsford last weekend. After the event he was awarded one of 10 B.C. Rugby scholarships and earlier this year was presented with the Athletic Excellence Award for outstanding achievement in sport in Kelowna. Now Overton, a hardrunning flanker who moved to Kelowna from England in Grade 9, is the first ever recipient of the Courtney Walls Bursary, handed out by the Central Okanagan Rugby Enthusiasts (CORE) and named in memory of Walls, a 1982 OKM grad who tragically lost his life in 1997. “I’m really honoured to have received the

award,” said Overton this week. “It definitely means a lot to me. From everything I have heard about Courtney he sounded like a great guy and someone that if I knew him he would have been a role model.” CORE says the award will be given annually to an OKM graduating rugby player who demonstrates key qualities of Courtney Walls: The recipient must be “a top rugby player, a good academic student and be wellliked by staff and students of the school…all characteristics that his fellow 1982 grads remember of Courtney.” “Sam is a fantastic first recipient of the bursary,” said Bob Callahan, a key driver in establishing the award. “He sounds a lot like Court: A good player, a good student and a good guy. We hope the bursary encourages more people to aspire to be great at the things they do while never taking themselves too seriously.” For Overton, who has committed to attend UBC

DOUG MANNING/CONTRIBUTED

OKM RUGBY standout Sam Overton is the inaugural recipient of the Courtney Walls Bursary after an exemplary high school rugby career ended with OKM’s best ever finish at provincials. Okanagan next year, hearing the words that go along with the Courtney Walls Bursary is something very meaningful. “It’s something that has all the aspects of be-

ing good at rugby, working hard and being a likable person,” said Overton. “It means a lot to me that people see me that way.” Since coming to Ke-

lowna with his parents from the UK, Overton has taken big strides in rugby at the same time the sport has also grown in the Okanagan. In 2010 he was selected to the Team Canada

Under-16 team and this weekend will begin the tryout process again, looking to advance to Team B.C. and hoping to attract the attention of Team Canada rugby scouts. But it is

the 10-1 season the OKM Huskies completed and the team’s efforts in the provincials that remain his on-field highlight “It was great,” he said. “It was the best OKM had ever done. We went down expecting a lot of competition and we really stepped up our game. “I don’t think I’ve ever been more proud to play on a team than in those last final games when everyone was hurting and we just kept trucking on,” Overton said. With a commitment to attend UBCO next season and play rugby 7s as well as the Kelowna Crows Under-19 squad this fall Overton looks to be trending towards big things in his career. But, like a pass to the outside, he is taking it all in stride. “It may sound cheesy but my main goal is to just go out there and do everything I can and do the best that I can,” Overton said. “The main thing is you have to go out there and play your heart out and see what happens.”

▼ RUGBY BECOMING CORE SPORT

Rugby growing by leaps and bounds in Central Okanagan When the Central Okanagan Rugby Enthusiasts (CORE) announced the first ever recipient of the Courtney Walls Bursary this week it was another example of just how far the sport of rugby has come in Kelowna in the past several years. Rugby may not be Canada’s top sport but in the Okanagan it is growing by leaps and bounds thanks to CORE, established in 2010 to promote the sport in the Central Okanagan. For OKM’s Sam Overton, he has watched rugby grow since moving to Kelowna over three

years ago from England, where rugby is one of the top sports. “Playing in the area I see so much potential that I really want to be part of the evolution of rugby here,” said Overton who was offered a rugby scholarship to UBC in Vancouver but decided to stay local at UBC Okanagan. “I really think in the next couple years it’s going to grow even more. There is a lot of funding that CORE is putting into rugby.” According to CORE, it was established to

promote the growth and development of rugby in the Central Okanagan with the long range goal of increasing the number of players to 3,000 by 2020. It has helped to introduce rugby 7s and touch rugby to the region and also wants to create a sustainable financial base, providing support so that local players have the proper infrastructure to succeed in the sport. You can find out more at www.corerugby. com. •••

The first ever Courtney Walls Bursary that Sam Overton was awarded this week is financially supported by an endowment fund launched by Bob and Linda Callahan and supported by more than 20 donors so far. The fund has targeted $20,000 to sustain forever the annual bursary to be handed out each year at OKM. So far, $15,508 has been raised.

Ok women hone skills KU teams triumphant over weekend The Okanagan Football Club women’s soccer team had a win and a tie in Pacific Coast Soccer League action at the Nonis Sports Field at UBC Okanagan in Kelowna last weekend. After a 1-1 tie with Coquitlam on Saturday, Okanagan FC shutout Abbotsford 2-0 on Sunday to improve to 2-2-1 on the season. “It was a really good weekend for us to go undefeated at home,” said coach Claire Paterson. “We are starting to come together well as a team and we are gaining more confidence in our abilities to be competitive in this league. It has been a slow build over the past four years but I think we are starting to figure it out. Having the support of UBC Okanagan has been instrumental as we continue to develop this summer program.”

Against league leading Coquitlam on Saturday Okanagan FC came out strong from the whistle generating a great opportunity to get the first goal in the 22nd minute when midfielder Taylor Sarchet was fouled and awarded a penalty shot. Uncharacteristically, Taylor placed the ball right into the mits of the CMFSC goalkeeper. OFC broke through three minutes later when Clare Murphy was sprung on the left side and burst past her check into the box, once again an OFC player was brought down and another penalty shot was awarded. Murphy made no mistake putting Okanagan FC up 1-0. Coquitlam would generate the equalizer in the second half and the game ended 1-1 “It was a good, gritty team performance,” said Paterson. “We responded

well when the opponent tried to take over the match and we played strong until the final whistle.” On Sunday afternoon the Okanagan club prevailed 2-0 over Abbotsford as Lana Finley and Madeleine Grieg notched OFC’s two goals on the Nonis Sports Field. The Okanagan FC is on the road this weekend with games against Surrey United and TSS Academy. ••• The Okanagan Challenge FC earned its first point of the season in the PCSL premier division with a 2-2 tie with the Victoria Highlanders. David Hill and Andrew Pinguelo scored for the Challenge who improved to 0-5-1. The Challenge host the Coquitlam at 2 p.m. Saturday and Khalsa at 2 p.m. Sunday with both games at UBCO.

With the playoffs fast approaching Kelowna United soccer teams were undefeated last weekend in select soccer league play. Here’s a look at the results from KU soccer teams. U-13 Girls The Kelowna United Under-13 girls started slowly but scored three times in the second half for a 5-3 win over Penticton. Danika Lee scored twice while Payton Lewis-Brisco, Kyra McNulty and Angelia Ostrom had the other goals for Kelowna, who handed Penticton its first loss in league play this season. U-15 Girls The U-15 girls travelled to Penticton to play their last league game against the Pinnacles. Emma Johnson scored twice and Kiana Ajamzadeh had the other marker in a 3-2 win for Kelowna. KU keeper Avery Watson was superb, especially in the first half, to earn the win. U-16 Girls The Kelowna girls carried the play from the first whistle, scoring within minutes on a goal from

KELOWNA United’s Thomas Pesl goes for a header in a win for the U-16 boys in select soccer action. Casey Loudoun in what would turn out to be a 6-0 win. Loudon would score a pair while other markers came from Kayla Marritt, Morgan Hughes, Sydney Solland and Breanna Balkan. Strong defense from Megan Hendricks, Olivia Wallis and Jill Robertson helped keeper Lauren Grubisich earn her first shutout of the season. Kelowna closes out the regular season this week, hoping to finish the season strong as they host the Penticton Pinnacle U-16 girls.

U-11 Boys-Saints The Saints earned a pair of wins beating Kamloops 5-2 and Penticton 5-1 on the weekend. Anthony Kurkjian and Gregor Smith each scored twice while Patrick Donovan had the other in the opening win over Kamloops. Great defense by Karlen Speiser, Chad Dumka, Riley Neal, James Donick and Daniel Messant contributed to Kelowna’s win. Smith’s left foot was hot in the win over Penticton, scoring three times

with the left while Kurkjian and Gavin Sherman had the others. Keeper Brandon Frechette earned the win in net. U-14 Boys The U-14 boys moved into first place in the league with a 4-2 win over Penticton. Morgan Gonzales opened the scoring for Kelowna while Corbin Beauchemin made it 2-0. After a Penticton goal Beauchemin added his second of the game before Spencer Young closed out the game with the insurance goal. Kelowna will play Shuswap in a semi final game and if they win they will play June 17 to determine who represents the area in the provincials. U-16 Boys A rocket shot by Dylan Wagner and a great 25 yard goal from Tomas Pesl got the U-16 boys off and rolling en route to a 4-3 win over Shuswap. Shuswap would score three straight to take a lead but Kelowna settled down into their game and tied it at 3-3 with a strike from inside the box by Hayden Conlin-Mouat. Dylan Wagner struck the game winner for Kelowna.

▼ UFC SEPTEMBER TILT

MacDonald vs Penn

It appears as if Kelowna mixed martial artist Rory MacDonald has found his next opponent in the UFC and it could be one of the sports well known fighters. According to media reports, MacDonald, a rising UFC star who got his start in the sport at Kelowna’s Toshido Mixed Martial Arts, will take on UFC veteran BJ Penn at UFC 152 in Toronto in September. MacDonald now trains with the UFC’s 170-pound champion Georges St. Pierre at Montreal’s Tristar Gym and is coming off a knockout of Che Mills in the co-main event of April’s UFC 145 in Atlanta. The win improved MacDonald’s record to 4-and-1 in five fights in the UFC and 13-1 overall.

Lammers accepts offer from U of T

Race of beauty, endurance, technique

A third senior from the Mount Boucherie football prorgam is heading to university later this year. Wide receiver Thomas Lammers will begin his post secondary football career playing in the CIS after accepting a scholarship offer from an Ontario university. Lammers has agreed to a scholarship with the University of Toronto that will see him join the Varsity Blues this fall after a standout high school career at Mount Boucherie. Lammers was a threesport threat in high school, playing football, volleyball and basketball. The wide receiver will now focus solely on football when he heads to the University of Toronto training camp on Aug. 17.

Two Kelowna teams hit the podium in the second annual Atmosphere Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race (MOMAR) last weekend, beginning and ending at Burnabyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Barnet Marine Park. Tammy Howe and Daryl Spencer of Kelowna placed third in the team of two co-ed category for the 30km sport course as well as fifth overall. Team True North of Cameron Worman, Shane Worman, Sandy Magee and Ben Bruch came second in the team of four male category and sixth overall for the 50km enduro course. The MOMAR course included 10km of kayaking, 6km of trekking, 18km of mountain biking, a 7km orienteering stage through the SFU campus followed by another 6km of biking, then a 3km orienteering run. The 30km Sport Course included all the same elements, just 20km shorter. The exact course route was only known to racers on race

Co-ed competitor Daryl Spencer says he found the course to be an ideal balance of scenic beauty, endurance and technique. He felt that the serene paddle around Boulder Is-

MIKE MILTIMORE needs residents in the Okanagan to get online and vote for his

acoustic guitar at www.bdcyoungentrepreneuraward.ca.

Guitar players may not be known for their squeaks like those who play the clarinet, but musical innovator Mike Miltimore has an unusual habit of squeaking in under the wire with his guitar. Last year, Miltimore just missed qualifying for the Business Development Bank of Canada’s Young Entrepreneur Award as he didn’t own enough shares of the family business, Lee’s Music on Sutherland Avenue, to qualify. “It was just a little technicality. We run it like a partnership my dad, my mom and I,” he said. This year, he has the shares, but almost didn’t qualify again due to a birthday date ruling. Miltimore has invented a streamlined method of building guitars that will shave hundreds of hours off building and tuning the instruments; but his nomination papers to run for the young entre-

preneur award were filed on April 28, when he was 35 years old. The very next day, he turned 36—the contest closed—and he was one year too old for its guidelines. Thankfully, a quick read of the rules and regulations revealed the guitar designer qualifies within the timeframe as he had to be 35 before Dec. 31, of 2011. And with his squeaky clean idea on how to revolutionize guitar building, he’s now riding second place in the online contest, hoping a few more votes will put him over the top. Miltimore’s guitar system takes building a guitar

from a 100-hour process to 24 hours—or really the course of an eight-hour shift. “I call it progressive traditionalism,” he said, noting the guitar is no less a high-end product than any other guitar they repair or sell in their shop. In order to create the perfect instrument, Miltimore figured he needed to eliminate the need for bracing, thus reducing the force from the strings so that the guitar would have less tuning fluctuation. He also wanted the guitars built for precision in a manner that anyone could be trained to build the same instrument to the same specifications and consistency. “You have all these different luthiers who specialize in different areas. This way I could hire a high school student that’s shown some promise, or maybe someone with joiner experience, and get the same product,” he said. As such, he designed a one-piece body with a single piece neck that runs

He added a series of keys and adjustment holes to the base so the bridge can be adjusted without loosening off the strings. The overall product is quite unique and has a somewhat naked look. “We have more resonate area than any other guitar on the market because we’ve eliminated all the structural bracing,” he explained.

Raised in Somalia, K’NAAN brings his rap to Kelowna Somalia. The name alone conjures up images of unbridled destruction, merciless warlords and ruthless terror. A place where nobody—children, the elderly, religious figures—is safe from the atrocities of war, and where the idea of “childhood,” where 8 year olds handle AK-47s like toys, exists in chronological terms alone. When Forbes magazine recently unveiled their Most Dangerous Destinations, Somalia, above Iraq and Afghanistan, topped the list. But it’s also been dubbed The Nation of Poets, where a poem can both inspire peace and end wars. Where every weekend, regardless of the climate, one can find a play or concert at a local theatre. Growing up, it was both of these Somalias that

February, 2009. He’ll be performing in Kelowna July 12. The grandson of Haji

Mohamed, one of Somalia’s most famous poets, and nephew of famed Somali singer Magool, K’NAAN is creating his own musical path through reggae, funk, pop, soul and, above all, hip-hop. “I’m not interested in being mediocre,” declares the rapper. “If there’s not a necessity to what I’m doing, I just wouldn’t do it. If I don’t have something to add to the conversation, I’m just not gonna talk.” Luckily K’NAAN he has plenty to say. Utilizing everything from folk guitar to the actual Hammond B3 used on Bob Marley’s Exodus, the emcee deftly finds a balance between earnest tales of growing up and clever, braggadocio rhymes straight out of Big Daddy Kane’s rhymebook. It’s this mix, both

musical and lyrical, that earned his 2006 debut album The Dusty Foot Philosopher a Juno award for Rap Recording of the Year, a BBC Radio 3 Award, and nomination for the inaugural Polaris Music Prize, Canada’s equivalent to the Shortlist Music Prize. In a country whose name is synonymous with strife, it’s easy to brand K’NAAN with the “political rapper” tag. But that would be both easy and disingenuous. K’NAAN’s lyrics lie in stark contrast to emcees that use their medium as a pulpit to promote their beliefs. Consider his words more front-page reportage than editorial page. “My job is to write just what I see/So a visual stenographer is who I be,” he rhymes in I Come Pre-

pared. Growing up, the extent of Western music that reached the musician was limited to Bob Marley and Tracy Chapman. While driving with a cousin’s boyfriend one day, though, a 10-year old K’NAAN became fascinated by the brief rap emitting from the tinny car speaker. “I had heard a rap verse, but I had no idea what it was back then,” he recalls. When albums of Eric B. & Rakim’s Paid in Full arrived from New York, the tracks transported the musician to a different world. A world where the rhythm and feeling of language superseded any understanding of the words. “I memorized Eric B. is President and could spit the verse as if it was Rakim,” he says. “I would

be outside of the house and all the neighborhood kids would listen. One boy would take some sticks to rock the beat. “No one, including myself, knew one word of what we were saying. I was relying on the rhythm and the feeling and energy that you got from the track. That helped me a lot with both the phonetics and texture of the words when I would eventually learn English.” K’NAAN, with opening act to be announced, performs July 12 at Kelowna Community Theatre.

This summer, explore London’s less obvious side Catharine Hamm CONTRIBUTOR

LONDON—As a Californian, I had forgotten that you don’t cancel your life just because it rains. If you did, you’d never see anything in London, at least not recently. And there is much to see. Too much, in fact. It’s a travel buffet, and it’s hard not to load your plate with a plethora of monuments, historic buildings and churches. It’s important to see that London, but it’s imperative to see the lesserknown London, if only to escape the hordes who came for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, and are coming for World Pride from June 17-July 8, the Summer Games from July 27-Aug. 9 and the Paralympics from Aug. 29-Sept. 9. By stepping away from the famous sites, you see a different, less daunting London. There’s lugubrious London, luscious London, Latino London, liquid London, even lowkey and sometimes lowcost London. And if even those get to be too much, there’s always leaving London. So welcome to London for the “L” of it, a sort of suggestion box of ideas for a city about to

steal the spotlight and always threatening to steal your heart.

LUGUBRIOUS LONDON If you want to torment your soul, go to the Thames on a foggy morning and listen to Big Ben chime the hour. On the right day, it’s bone-chilling and it’s free. If you’d rather focus on someone else’s tormented soul, check out the Wraiths of London, a 2 {-hour ghost walk in central London, which is said to be haunted by the restless dead. Guide Alan Aspinall, a newcomer to the crowded ghost-walk field, takes his passion for stories, combines them with history and spins your head around. He talks about Amelia Dyer, a “baby farmer” in Victorian England. For a fee, she and others of her trade took the offspring from unwed mothers and found homes for them. True to her name, Dyer didn’t place them; she killed them. She was sentenced to death, but before her execution, she told one of the guards, “I’ll see you again, sir.” He did see her again—in a vision, or so the story goes. As Aspinall unspooled the tale, a street sign came loose and clanged on its metal post

TRAVEL

So many sights and flavours in lesser known London London from A33 trek took a group of us to such little pieces of heaven as Hotel Chocolat, where I learned the proper way to eat good chocolate (take a slice, hold it

against the roof of your mouth, let it melt, repeat); Freggo (sample the dulce de leche ice cream with bitter chocolate); Prestat; Laduree; and Charbonnel et Walker (where the violet and rose cremes be-

came my new BFF). Or you can skip the tour and go directly to Selfridges, which has many of these under one roof in its food hall. It’s a little like eating dessert first, but life is short. Info: www.lat.ms/Jnjsvd. About $32.

On the outside, the Church Street Hotel looks like another stately inn. On the inside? Fiesta! Bienvenidos to a Latin-flavored London, to a hotel so unexpected that you’re apt to ask yourself, “Did I take a wrong turn and end up in Oaxaca?” (Not yet, but hold on and you may.) Each of its 28 rooms is awash with colour (mine was a brilliant beach-day blue), and the knickknacks and pictures say “hola.” If you haven’t come for the decor, come for the price (rates during non-Olympics start at an almost unheard of $145 a night, including breakfast), the quiet and the quirkiness. You pay a price for feeling South of the Border because you’re in what feels like far southern London; it’s a trek into the city, but I grew to love Bus 36. Note that there’s no elevator, the steps are steep and illumination—in my room, at least—wasn’t a strong point. Still, the hotel was a bright spot. Church Street Hotel, 29-33 Camberwell Church St.; 011-44-207703-5984, www.churchstreethotel.com. The next-door Angels & Gypsies restaurant is more Iberian than Mexican, but it’s hard to resist this small-plates place,

If your hambre won’t be satisfied by anything but Mexican, try Wahaca (Oaxaca to the rest of us), which bills itself as “Mexican market eating” with such offerings as tacos, burritos, quesadillas and salads. I tried the green rice (coriander, onion and

An indulgence calorically and monetarily but a bueno one. Wahaca, multiple locations, www.wahaca. co.uk.

LOW-COST LONDON London didn’t make the Economist’s Intelligence Unit top 10 list of the 10 most expensive cities in the world—Zurich, Switzerland, can chant, “We’re No. 1!”—but you may feel penny-pinched

compared with pricey L.A. as your point of reference. We don’t, for instance, pay $30 for a oneway express train ride into the city from LAX. Oh, wait. We don’t have an express train. Never mind. For transportation other than the Heathrow Express, here are two words for every London traveler: Oyster card. You’ll save major bucks and time if you have this tube/bus/rail card and perhaps feel a little smug as you place it smartly on the ubiquitous “circle” that gives you safe passage onto your chosen mode of transport. You buy the card and load it with however many pounds

you like. For instance, if you’re riding from Paddington to Piccadilly Circus, you’d cough up almost $7 if paying cash but only $3.20 with the Oyster, a budget aphrodisiac for sure. Meals too can be budget wreckers. I’m tickled at having found a couple of good places near my hotels that didn’t break my bank. Some critics sneer at Masters Super Fish (191 Waterloo Road, 011-4420-7928-6924) about a block from the H10 London Hotel, where I stayed for about $220 a night, but my early evening fish and chips dinner was tasty, and the place was full of regulars. If you’re going for the decor, don’t. If you’re going for a nice meal of fresh fish (which doesn’t have to be fried) for about $15, do. My best find (thanks to Time Out London) was Bonnington Cafe (11 Vauxhall Grove, www. bonningtoncafe.co.uk), not far from the Kia Oval cricket ground, which puts it off the path. But I did have a sit-down lunch of vegetarian squash/ chickpea curry over rice and a nice green salad for $8 (also open for dinner). It’s about the dishes, not the decor, at this community-run eatery. Afterward, stroll around the square and you’ll see Bonnington’s pocket park (and head over to the Harleyford Road Community Garden while you’re at it). Because especially in the coming weeks, London promises to be anything but an oasis of calm.

think of London as stately, we also think of it as fsedate. This would be incorrect. Victoria station at afternoon rush hour makes an L.A. SigAlert tlook like a garden party. Eventually, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to need to remove yourself. You can leave London (see below) or you can remove yourself from the chaos. Or both. London is loaded twith gardensâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;more than 2,500 of themâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;chronticled at www.londongardensonline.org.uk. I sampled several but fell madly for the Royal Botanic Gardens, or Kew. You have to want to visit Kewâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it was ta 90-minute bus/train/ bus ride for meâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but the Sturm und Drang is worth it for the sheer absence of rSturm und Drang. The 300-acre Kew fis dotted with structures t(Waterlily House, Kew tPalace, the Orangery restaurant and more), each of which is a little magic pocket of surprises. I suggest taking the tram ride ($6.35) around the garden and then putting on your dancing shoes to hobnob with the birds, bees and, alas, the jets that break the reverie. / Admission: $22 adults, free for children 17 rand younger. Info: www. kew.org. t Contrast Kewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s open spaces with the nine-mile Regentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canal, a waterway and towpath enclave thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a buffer from urban insanity.

On the mile and a half walk from the Canal Museum to Camden Town, I encountered bikers, joggers, strollers, moms, babies, dogs, swans, ducks and the occasional graffito. Water trickled through the locks like the tinkle of aquatic piano keys. The bubble burst at Camden Town, reminiscent of the Orange County swap meet but with more global food offerings and less charm. A sugar infusion at vegan Cookies & Scream buoyed my spirits, as did embarking on the London Waterbus Co.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s canal boat bound for Little Venice. The 50-minute

ride (about $12.30 one way) put me back in the bubble as it glided past Regentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Park, through the London Zoo and by Italian manor houses, depositing us at Browningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pool near the renovated Rembrandt Gardens. There, willows wept but a bride and groom beamed as they posed for postnuptial pics. Blue skies and young loveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;does it get better than this?

London is all about the liquidâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the 60 billion cups of tea Brits drink each year, the 27 million pints of beer quaffed each

day, the 23 or so inches of rain that fall, on average, in London each year. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find enough tea/ coffee houses and pubs (although theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re said to be disappearing at the rate of two a day) to slake your thirst, but your personal shelter from the storm needs a special place, and that place is James Smith & Sons, which sells umbrellas and walking sticks. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a going concern since 1830. James Smith & Sons, 53 New Oxford St., www. james-smith.co.uk. Although it was raining, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need the umbrella for my trip down the Thames on the Thames Clipper, which is really an enclosed commuter boat. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an overlooked way of seeing London like a localâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a local in a hurry. It leaves slowly from the London Eye, but just past the Tower Bridge, it goes full tilt on its run to Greenwich. No narration, but you can figure out the sites yourself. Round trip: www. thamesclippers.com,

about $12.75 with an Oyster card discount. It seemed only right on my liquid tour to stop at the Cutty Sark, an 1869 clipper ship that in its prime carried tea from China (and later wool from Australia). Queen Elizabeth II reopened the ship in April, almost five years after a fire gutted it. Now it sits in a steel cradle, its beauty restored, pointing proudly at this section of the 205mile Thames as if to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Landlubbers are lame.â&#x20AC;? You walk enough in London, and I promise thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s true. Cutty Sark, part of the Royal Museums Greenwich, www.rmg.co.uk/ cuttysark. Admission: About $20.

LEAVING LONDON Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more romantic than dinner in London? Just about anything, but definitely dinner in Paris. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d booked the Eurostar for this fast train trip to France, leaving on the 3 p.m. speeder to Paris and returning about 9 p.m. (You gain an hour,

so youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll arrive about 6:30 p.m. at Gare du Nord station.) The countryside blurred by, fields of yellow rapeseed exploding with colour amid patches of vibrant spring green. From the Gare du Nord, I walked across the street to Terminus Nord, ordered a glass of wine, some escargot and a steak with bearnaise sauce and fries, which sound less sinful as pommes frites. Tab: $75, not including tip. Effect: Made me giggle at the silliness of it all. Next time: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll stay longer. Or be more adventuresome with my restaurant choice. Or go to Brussels, which you can also do for less than a day. If you book far enough in advance, a standard nonrefundable ticket for Brussels or Paris can be about $100, round trip. Leaving London made me long for it, and I returned, happy but tired, just before midnight to log a little more shut eye before continuing one L of a trip. Eurostar, www.eurostar.com.

NEWS â&#x2013;ź PERSONAL HEALTH

Ill doctors embrace philosophy behind neuroplasticity I

n the beginning of May, the government of Switzerland had sponsored the Dynamic Neural Retraining System team to teach a program in Zurich. As you can imagine, I along with other members of our team were very excited to share this neuroplasticity-based paradigm and vital tools for healing on a global level. The participants who attended suffered from a wide range of limbic system disorders such as chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue syndrome,

EMOTIONAL RESCUE

Annie Hopper fibromyalgia, electric hypersensitivity syndrome, post-traumatic stress disorder and food sensitivities. In fact, we even had two medical doctors attend the Switzerland program who had seen their health suffer for many

years and both had thoroughly exhausted the medical system searching for answers and healing. Much to their delight, during the course of the program they both experienced a dramatic shift in limbic system function. They were so amazed that they almost couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it. Both had been suffering from life threatening reactions to chemicals and other stimuli and noticed a dramatic reduction in their symptoms by the end of the program. And although the doc-

tors were highly educated and knew a lot about brain function and the theory of neuroplasticity, they were missing the crucial ingredient, which is how to apply the knowledge to create the changes that are necessary to recover. The program was literally nothing short of life saving for both of them. All of the participants were incredibly grateful for this new paradigm in healing and excited to know how neuroplasticity can profoundly assist in recoveryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;even for people who have been suffering for years. By the end of the Swiss program, we felt

like we now have extended family in Europe. On the last day we shared many tears of joy. The participants were all very grateful for the knowledge and understanding, and for the tools to rewire limbic system function. Heart-felt email updates are now streaming in with words of thanks along with their personal account of how their lives are changing. What I also found surprising about this group is that many of them were already working with the instructional DVD version of our program. But they wanted to

have the first-hand experience of working within a group and the personal attention that comes with attending a live in-person program. They all agreed that a personal experience in a group dynamic is incredibly powerful. In fact, being witness to personal transformation, both internal and external, is far beyond anything most had ever dreamed of or prayed for. And while not everyone will experience life-altering results within a few days, changes will come with effort and time. After all, making per-

manent neuroplastic changes does take time and consistent repetition. The brain truly is the control center for optimal health. Learning how to selfdirect changes in brain function is driving a revolution in health care and we are very excited to be at the forefront of this movement. Now our travels take us closer to home and we are happy to bring this program back to Canada for our next program in Victoria on June 22 to 24. If you are interested in attending the Victoria conference, email info@ dnrsystem.com for more information. Each applicant will be interviewed to determine candidacy for the program presentation.

SHORT TERM LEASE RETURNS

Acura bill2as the nexus where ‘Luxury Meets Utility.’ The brand is currently in the throws of trying to recoup market share across its model lineup with new product and new thinking that will see its image return to one of emotion and youthfulness. Acura will be doing this through a three-point plan of high-quality content, enhanced driving experience and a point-ofsale experience second to none. For example, all of its 50 dealers in Canada will be significantly upgrading their operations over the next two to three years to a new corporate

look. On the product front, Acura will be bringing in new sedans such as the entry-level luxury ILX that will be reviewed on these pages when the embargo lifts on April 20. Acura is only too well aware its sales recently have been skewed towards trucks such as the five-seat RDX and sevenseat MDX. And here is the tricky part of trying to bump up sedan sales. The market for entrylevel premium CUVs such as the RDX are expected to grow 13 per cent between now and 2015 gobbling up the share now held by mid-size and large premium CUVs. See Acura B3

particular time vis-‡-vis the torque split. Coming back on a highway heading south towards Phoenix, my codriver had the RDX in

‘Sport’ drive mode and set on cruise control at the 65 mph speed limit. Up and down through undulating hill country, the RDX engine stayed pegged at

Acura from B1

In reshaping the RDX, Acura sees two primary market groups, the ‘urban achiever’ and ‘empty nesters,’ as those they want to attract. But so does everyone else. So how is Acura going to do it? Simply put, the RDX is being sold on the strength of price/content and enjoyable driving. On sale now, 2013 RDX will start with a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of $40,990. The RDX Technology Package will come to market with an MSRP of $43,990. Standard features on RDX include leather seating surfaces, heated power front seats, a power moonroof and a 360-watt audio system. New technologies such as SMS text messaging function, a Keyless Access System with pushbutton start, an Active Noise Control system and a rear view camera system with three unique viewing angles are also standard on all RDX models. The RDX Technology Package adds Acura Navigation System with Bi-lingual Voice Recognition; a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) system with 60 gigabytes of storage capacity; GPSlinked solar-sensing, dual-zone automatic climate control system; power actuated rear tailgate; and an Acura/ELS Surround Premium Sound System with 10 speakers, DVD-Audio, multi-format CD player, AM/FM tuner and XM Radio with Note function. Styling evolutionary with the 2013 looking similar to the model it is replacing. But with an extended wheelbase and slightly wider stance, it looks lower overall. Inside the front seats feel like two of those big

pod chairs you see in Air Canada’s first class cabin. Overall passenger dimensions are all increased. The big surprise at the launch of the RDX in Phoenix was finding Acura would not offer a four-cylinder version, going with a one-engine format with a 3.5-litre V6 producing 273 hp and 251 lb/ ft of torque. With its new six-speed automatic transmission, fuel economy is rated at 10.7/7.3L/100 km city/highway on premium fuel. While there seems to be a trend toward smaller direct injection/turbo fourbangers, Acura’s contention is the V6 offers the kind of power buyers expect along with the kind

of fuel economy they also expect. This done by VCM (Variable Cylinder Management) that allows it to run on all six cylinders when climbing or accelerating; four cylinders during high-speed cruise and just three cylinders on lower speed cruising on secondary highways. This is further enhanced by a retooled allwheel-drive system with ‘Intelligent Control.’ At launch or accelerating torque is split 25/75 per cent, front/rear. While cruising, 100 per cent of the torque goes to the front wheels. On wet or slippery surfaces it changes to 50/50 per cent, front rear to 25/75 under hard ac-

response and steering inputs. This involves what Acura calls Motion Adaptive EPS, which is a blending of ABS/traction control/skid control with electric power steering ‘collaborative control’ that works like this. During oversteer in a corner (the tendency to go straight) braking is applied to the outer wheels while the steering applies corrective counter steering force. In an under-steering scenario, engine braking is used while braking is applied to the inside wheels. The initial overall driving impression was a very tight feeling to the chassis and suspension while sound deadening is a very strong selling point. I was also impressed by the excellent fit of the exterior body panels with the doors and headlights and taillights. Rear cargo capacity on the RDX was a major design goal with the liftgate opening made 165 mm (6.5 in) wider. With a cargo capacity of 739 litres behind the back seat and 2,178 with the seat folded, it can easily accommodate two 29inch bags, two 21-inch bags and two 16-inch bags at once. Looking at it another way, it can take four fullsize golf bags behind the rear seat. As noted Acura is repositioning itself as a serious contender in the premium car and truck segment, the segment it created with the original Legend sedan. My initial experience with the 2013 RDX shows Acura is well on the way to reaching this objective.

Some executives from General Motors’ Cadillac division appeared almost giddy with excitement during the recent launch of a new luxury sedan here in “La-La-Land”. The 2013 XTS is the first all-new vehicle from Cadillac in almost three years, so that itself was exciting from a brand standpoint. But after talking with many of the Cadillac people over the course of a couple of days, the big reason for the optimism seems to be the fact that they think they got it right with the XTS and created a vehicle that the public will embrace. Certainly it has striking styling, both inside and out, and it becomes a new halo car for the brand thanks to all the latest technology and safety features that Cadillac will make available throughout its lineup. What is also exciting from a Canadian standpoint is the XTS is being built right here in Oshawa. The XTS takes over at the top rung of the Cadillac ladder since the fullsize DTS sedan was discontinued after the 2011 model year. But this is no simple refresh of the dated DTS model. It is all new and better in every way. As a premium luxury sedan, the XTS offers two of the most important features many sedan buyers crave—a huge trunk with 509 litres (18 cu ft) of cargo space and generous leg room, both front and rear. GM claims the XTS offers more interior space than mid-size luxury cars and is comparable to full-

size sedans, with 1,016 mm (40 inches) of rear seat legroom—more than BMW 5 Series, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6. The trunk size exceeds those in the Audi A8L, Mercedes-Benz SClass and BMW 7 Series. Cadillac positions the XTS above the popular CTS family in the lineup and will offer four trim levels—Standard Luxury Collection, Premium Collection and Platinum Collection. All trims have front-wheel drive as standard fare, with a Haldex all-wheel drive system available on all but the base trim level. But what Cadillac executives really want to focus on with the XTS is the debut of its new CUE infotainment system. Short for Cadillac User Experience, CUE merges what Cadillac calls “intuitive design with industryfirst controls for information and media control.” CUE is composed of a 203 mm (eight-inch) screen in the centre stack, a faceplate below the screen and steering wheel controls. Among the industry firsts on the system is capacitive touch control and haptic feedback, whereby you feel a slight vibration when a function has been selected. Capacitive touch is the technology used on many smart phones and tablets. CUE also uses gesture recognition and natural voice recognition. A further part of the system is a 312 mm (12.3inch) reconfigurable instrument cluster that can show one of four drive-selected themes that range from minimal to extensive information. The displays are bright and the snazzy graphics work well. In all, the Cue

MOTORING Cadillac from B7 sion that shifts smoothly and easily. Acceleration is adequate, but certainly not in the league of many European sports sedans. I expect we might see a more powerful engine option here sometime in the future, but for now this V6 will do the trick. For a large car weighing a touch over 1,822 kg (4,006 lb), the XTS provides decent fuel economy of 12.1/7.7/9.9 L/100 km city/highway/combined with front-wheel drive and 12.5/7.7/10.3 with all-wheel drive. During a drive into the hills and canyons outside LA along Mulholland Drive in the Malibu area, our XTS AWD tester acquitted itself well, feeling stable and firmly planted, even on the twisties. Cadillacâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Magnetic Ride Control system uses real-time damping to give the XTS a confident feel as it delivers precise body motion control. On the outside, the XTS is unmistakably a Cadillac although it is softer and more rounded with fewer of the sharp edges that have characterized Cadillacs of late. The huge front grille is a bit too bulbous and dominant for my liking, but the rest of the exterior should draw many an appreciative glance from on-

lookers. Inside, the car really shines thanks to the work of designer Christine Park who created a work-of-art with exquisite attention to detail. This is a very attractive and well thought out cabin that is both luxurious and comfortable. I thought the Buick Verano I drove recently was the quietest vehicle I had ever driven, but the XTS may even out do it. Prices start at $48,995 for the base XTS, climbing to $64,975 for the Platinum Collection with AWD. Even at the base level, the XTS is nicely outfitted with features like HID headlamps, rear park assist, Brembo brakes, remote start, power rake/

telescoping steering wheel, leather seating surfaces, wood wheel and console and Bose audio system among the items on the checklist. A Driver Awareness Package is standard on the Premium and Platinum Collections and available on the Luxury Collection. It includes Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert, Safety Alert Seat, Side Blind Zone Alert, and Reflected LED Display. Available this fall is the Driver Awareness Package that includes Adaptive Cruise Control and Front and Rear Automatic Brake and Automatic Collision Preparation. The Safety Alert Seat is a neat feature as the seat

vibrates either on the left or right side cushion depending upon the location of the impending concern. Standard safety features include StabiliTrak electronic stability control, anti-lock brakes, 10 airbags and the rearview camera that is standard on all but the base model. Although a full-size five-passenger sedan, the

XTS is not the rear-wheel drive flagship model some Cadillac customers have been clambering for with the discontinuation of the DTS. However, it is a very good car that fills a huge gap in the Cadillac lineup. It should help bring younger buyers into the fold with some of the industry-leading technol-

Ronda J. Maxwell, RMT

Prevention, Rehabilitation, Education, Stress Management Sage Massage Therapy welcomes Ronda Maxwell, Registered Massage Therapist. Ronda joins the team at Sage from a massage clinic in Kamloops where she enjoyed a thriving practice for almost three years. She is thrilled to join the Kelowna community. Ronda’s massage style combines myofascial work, deep tissue techniques, cranio sacral therapy, polarity, relaxation massage, and hot stone therapy all rolled into a treatment to meet your needs a little differently each time you visit. “There is a flexibility, fluidity and flow even in my treatment based massages that lends to relaxation, even though there may be moments of discomfort. I’m not afraid of bringing the pressure needed, but neither do I ascribe to the ‘No pain, no gain’ philosophy.” “Effective treatment requires trust as well as the commitment of both therapist and patient. I genuinely look forward to meeting you and engaging in a long term therapeutic relationship.”

Conversely, a shorter amortization period will save you interest, but the monthly payments will be higher. This is due to the fact that the principal is being paid down over a shorter period of time. Consult with your mortgage specialist about the options that best match your needs and circumstances. The interest rate on your mortgage will fluctuate based on the different interest terms selected over the amortization of the mortgage. Fixed and variable rates are offered for specific terms that can range from six months to 18 years or more. Many people choose fixed rate mortgages with terms of five to seven years, because they tend to offer the best balance between an attractive rate and the security of knowing exactly what your housing expenses will be for a considerable length of time. Once a term is up, you can renew the mortgage loan for another term at then current rates, which may be higher or lower. Mortgages can come with a great deal of flexibility. Discuss your options, such as pre-payment and increased payment frequency, with your lender so you can tailor your mortgage to best suit your situation and preferences. Lenders are realistic and know that borrowers sometimes encounter financial difficulties due to illness, layoffs or other circumstances. Ask your lender about programs they may have to deal with â&#x20AC;&#x153;what ifâ&#x20AC;? scenarios, such as deferred payment plans. Mortgage insurance providers also have homeowner assistance programs to help families keep their homes. Some new home builders offer mortgages at preferential rates for their homes. In such cases, the builder is not the lender, but has made arrangements with their own financial institution to provide the mortgage loans to qualified purchasers. Talk with a mortgage specialist to see what lenders are offeringâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;mortgage rates are still at near historical lows. Get pre-qualified for a mortgage loan so you know exactly how much you can spend on your new home, if you decide to go ahead.

It can be the focal point to your backyard, a garden accent or just an accessory, but the garden bench is seeing a revival in landscapes across North America. In one of my favourite botanical garden places to visit, people have the opportunity to sit on benches surrounded by jasmine not only for relaxing but also for an exhilarating olfactory experience. In your own garden, however, most dream of creating that private little retreat or corner of paradise in the landscape where you can sit, relax and visit with the natural surroundings and the garden bench is a key aspect. The choices of materials for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s benches allow you to choose what is just right for you aesthetically and economically. Mention bench and the first thought that comes to mind is teak wood. Teak, mahogany and cedar are all weather resistant and can be kept stained or allowed to naturally age.

location only with great difficulty, so choose your site carefully. What is new, however, is the availability of large stones arranged and stacked, to create extraordinary designs.

Though stone may not be native to your region, the benches nonetheless look harmonious with nature. Wrought iron benches are still popular, heavier than wood and can come in varying degrees of ornateness. The iron is coated and weather resistant although at some period the coating will be damaged or broken allowing rust to develop and requiring repair. You mention aluminum and children of the 1950s may first think of shiny silver looking benches. But today the colours and textures have allowed manufacturers to create benches, chairs and tables that are really works of art. They are still lightweight which is easy for the owner to move but unfortunately most are easily tossed in storms. Plastic is the least expensive and becomes faded and brittle with age. On the other hand, for a temporary use like party or teenagerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gathering the plastic can allow you to get the seating job done without breaking the pocketbook.

from the back porch or deck. What I mean by this is that the backyard has become like the house with three or four rooms. As you walk the landscape you notice a path that leads you to a cozy area surrounded by wax myrtles and shade loving annuals like impatiens. Here I can unwind after a stressful day. I love benches in the middle of cottage gardens where I am surrounded by colorful perennials, butterflies, hummingbirds and bees. I love benches by moving water where I can sit, watch and listen. Without benches the landscape can seem to be only a place of work with little enjoyment. A wellplaced garden bench however makes the landscape an extension of the indoor home.

W OF PRIME INTEREST

Finding the financial fit to afford your dream house You step through the door and feel the exhilarating rush that tells you this is the one, this is the house for you. But now you need your financing in place to seal the deal. However, with such an extensive range of options available in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market, it can be difficult to wade through and find the one that is right for you. That is why almost one-third of Canadians are turning to a mortgage broker when making the biggest financial decision of their lives. The goal of a mortgage broker is to meet the needs of their client and see them through their mortgage transaction from start to finish. Brokers are the ideal source for mortgage information because they have extensive industry knowledge and will ensure youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting what you need from your home financing. By assessing your financial style and examining your current financial picture, a mortgage broker can give you the pros and cons of various mortgage features, such as variable versus fixed-rates, longer amortizations, interest-only, zero down payments, purchase plus improvements and cash back mortgages to help identify which option is best for you.

Once your needs are clearly identified, your broker has access to a large assortment of mortgage products and lenders to choose from and can identify the one that is right for you. A mortgage broker will also take into account your plans for the future. Perhaps you want a second home or an investment property down the road. Your mortgage broker can help you structure your finances now to make your future plans attainable. Walking you through your first mortgage step-by step is really just the beginning of what can grow to become a lifelong relationship. Your broker can help you with a variety of transactions like refinancing, debt consolidation, or purchasing an additional property for recreation or as an investment.

Even home design is going digital From sleek high-definition televisions to the newest smartphone-enhanced kitchen appliances, technology is rapidly transforming the way Canadians live. Even home decoration is going high-tech. An exciting range of digital design tools has hit the market, allowing computer-savvy creative types to take a hands-on approach to adorning their living spaces. With the click of a mouse, consumers can create customized home accents that bring their personal design vision to life. According to Shelli Gardner, CEO and cofounder of crafting and design company Stampin’ Up!, digital home décor is an exciting new way to decorate. “Thanks to advances in technology, home décor is entering a new era,” she said. “The pleasure designers enjoy with their hands can now be enjoyed when creating on a computer. Web-based resources such as step-by-step tutorials, designer templates and easily accessible advice from design experts make it easy for everyone—even those who aren’t tech-savvy—to create beautiful customized home décor.” Noteworthy softwarebased design programs include My Digital Studio, which features exclusive artwork, colours, and designer templates. Originally conceived as an online scrapbooking tool, the program is growing in popularity for its

In addition to the design software, the My Digital Studio website (MyDigitalStudio.net)

also includes a number of resources that facilitate the user experience. Those resources include images of sample projects, videos featuring beginner and intermediate techniques, blogs from

design experts and more. Beginners can take advantage of a no-commitment free trial by visiting stampinup.com/store.

GETTING STARTED When using a tech-

based design program for the first time, Gardner suggests starting with a beginner-level project, which can still pack a stylish punch. Popular project ideas for first-timers include personalized family photos. Start by scanning a favourite family photo onto your computer. Then, using design software, try layering the scanned photo onto a colourful or patterned background, creating the look of a triple-matted picture without going to the trouble of finding and cutting the mats. Photos in black and white can look especially elegant. For a finishing touch, add a caption accent to the top or bottom corner of the photo, such as the last name of a family. For a baby photo, choose a patterned pink or blue background, and add a corner caption with the child’s name. Another easy project idea involves creating and framing a phrase using a design program’s library of fonts and symbols. Plan the colours and patterns according to the colour scheme of the room being decorated. For example, try creating a unique statement piece by printing and framing a brightly-coloured ampersand. Display the framed ampersand surrounded family photos for a unique, modern look. Whatever the project, when it comes to digital design, the possibilities are endless.

Facts to know about how a mortgage works So you are thinking about buying a new home? You may be wondering how mortgages work, if you would qualify for a mortgage loan, and if there are any special issues you should be aware of. Canada has one of the most solid mortgage systems in the world, which has evolved over many decades. It’s a balanced system that helps people become homeowners, while not encouraging excessive risks— that is, it demands responsible behaviour from both lenders and borrowers. The vast majority of lenders follow prudent and careful lending practices. Borrowers are qualified for a mortgage according to how much debt they are able to manage. Traditionally, lenders estimate that 32 per cent of the borrower’s income can be safely allocated to “housing debt,”—repayment of a mortgage loan with interest, taxes, condominium fees and energy use. Other debt is also factored in—car loans, personal lines of credit, student debt, credit card balances and so on. In total, up to 40 per cent of total income can go towards debt payment, but note that different lenders may use slightly different percentages. Lenders will also consider other personal information, such as length and security of employment, credit history and proven ability to handle debt. For instance, did you take out loans before, and did you pay them back on time? Typically, you should have a minimum down payment of five per cent of the value of the home you are buying. Mortgage insurance is mandatory in Canada for all high-ratio mortgage loans—when the loan represents more than 80 per cent of the total value of the property. This protects the lender in case the borrower becomes unable to pay the mortgage loan. For home buyers with a down payment of less than 20 per cent, mortgage insurance allows them to benefit from the same mortgage rates and features as those with higher down payments. Most mortgages are amortized over 25 years— that’s the length of time required to pay the loan off completely. For most people, this offers manageable monthly payments. A longer amortization period lowers your monthly payments, but you will end up paying more in the long run; the longer you borrow the money, the more it will cost in interest. There may be times, such as the initial years of homeownership, where a longer amortization period can be considered.
