COMPETING AT the London Olympics in rowing will be a dream come true for Will Dean, a 25-year-old grad of KSS.
A STRING instrument summer camp for kids and adults in Penticton is not about the competition but rather help showcase the joy of learning music and experience being a musician.
WHILE there may be no substitute for a Porsche, a line made famous by Tom Cruise in the ‘80s movie Risky Business, the 2013 Porsche Boxster will feature some update changes.

THE OKANAGAN’S
e R A M T H G I N BEAUTIFUl By Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
It started with a North Vancouver mother. Her 17-year-old son was experiencing what many teenage boys do—school, sex, social media—but vulnerability made him a target for manipulation and bullying. It was torment he couldn’t escape. His home, once a haven, was no longer safe when he sat down and gazed at an LCD monitor. Shelley Gillen worried, as mothers do, and her fears stirred up her imagination. Cathartically, she crafted a composite of reality and fiction called A Mother’s Nightmare. Months later, at the south end of Brown Road in West Kelowna, she watched as the climax of what her son went through was being recreated before her eyes. While a crew of professionals, amateurs, internationals and locals worked together to make Gillen’s painful story into a film—a multimillion dollar budget spilled into the local economy. And if the positive mood of the producers is any indication, more stories, more films and more money will likely be coming the Okanagan’s way. See story A3.

CLOSE-UP
Wandering film work lifestyle taking root in Okanagan from A1 Tina Pehme, producer of A Mother’s Nightmare, was sad to leave West Kelowna after the 18th and final day of shooting. She wasn’t the only one, either. “We had a tremendous group of people and it’s just been such a great experience,” she said. Pehme is the principal owner of Sepia Films, a Vancouver company that focuses on international co-productions. A Mother’s Nightmare will have a limited theatrical release before becoming a television movie for the Lifetime Movie Network and A&E. Sepia Films has signed on for 12 pictures with the U.S. networks, and after a successful trial run, Pehme said it’s likely that the Okanagan will be the setting for more films. “Our idea would be to bring at least three or four of them back here. We also have another feature that could be set here as well,” said Pehme. “Now we’ve got a familiarity with it. We’ve got people on the ground here that we’ve got a huge rapport with—it’s something we intend to continue.” In many ways, A Mother’s Nightmare laid the groundwork for future productions, she said. “We’re building a crew base here, we’re really trying to use and train as many local people (as possible). “There’s a bit of a learning curve at the beginning, but the great thing is that once you
build that…everyone has a can-do attitude.” Having movies shot in the Okanagan is clearly advantageous for local crew members who would otherwise be required to travel to Vancouver for work. But, according to Pehme, filming the picture in West Kelowna was also a benefit for the local economy. “There was a film we did about two years ago in Ireland called A Shine of Rainbows…it ended up being such a boost to the community—now they have A Shine of Rainbows tour and they have people that ended up on shows like Camelot and the Tudors. “When I see it here, I see all the spinoff business as well—all the local suppliers, food stores, paint, construction. There’s no imprint that’s negative.” As property master, Dean Goodine was in charge of interacting with those local businesses on a regular basis. Goodine is from Summerland and has been in the film business for over 26 years. Some of his credits include Unforgiven, Legends of the Fall, Passiondale and even the new Superman film. “I’m the property master, so anything that an actor handles, moves or touches, I’m in charge of,” explained Goodine. He said that people from the area have enjoyed working close to home, and those from elsewhere have been overwhelmed by the idyllic nature of the location.

FILMING A SCENE on the outdoor set of A Mother’s Nightmare.
Jon Summerland “People just stopped when the camera was not rolling and would turn around to stare at the beauty of it all.” Goodine also embraced the opportunity to share his skill set with
those who were less experienced. “Even though somebody like me has 26 years of experience and is working with somebody who has 26 days of experience, the job is still the job. Our job is to teach, not be upset if things aren’t going quite perfect.” That patience worked well for Andy Holmes who was an assistant for director Vic Sarin. “Vic and Tina are probably the two nicest people I’ve ever met in the film industry…they treat me so well,” said Holmes. “Even if you do mess
Shelley Gillen up, they’re giving you a little smack and a little love at the same time.” His role ranged from guiding the director throughout the community to anticipating and dealing with problems be-
fore they arose to picking up coffee for the crew. “This was an absolutely unbelievable experience for me. I’m a video production guy, I never went to film school,” Holmes said. “You can’t pay for what I learned on set every single day.” Holmes got the call to work on A Mother’s Nightmare while bartending in Vancouver. The uncertainty of the business is something that the aspiring filmmaker has embraced. “You always have to have a plan B, there are no guarantees. You’ve got to try to find the next job and
work really hard to get there.” One of the film’s stars, Annabeth Gish, knows all about the gypsy lifestyle that those in the entertainment business have grown accustomed to. “You never know where your next paycheque is coming from,” said Gish. The 41-year-old actress has appeared in Mystic Pizza, Beautiful Girls and Double Jeopardy. Most recently, she’s had recurring roles in Pretty Little Liars and

Ag minister rebuts orchardists
“Easy, Uncomplicated Mortgages�
Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Apply On-Line now: www.aquariusmortgages.com
B.C. Agriculture Minister Don McRae has taken exception to fruit growers’ criticisms regarding the orchard replant program announced in May. McRae says the replant program is intended as a targeted incentive program to encourage growers to replant to become more competitive. The president of the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association, Kelowna orchardist Kirpal Boparai, had said last week he felt discouraged that the program starts next year and not this year.

B.C. AGRICULTURE MINISTER Don McRae (left), with John Byland of Byland’s Nurseries, during a visit to the valley last year. He’s encouraging growers to support local nurseries in purchasing young fruit trees as part of the $2 million replant program. year, so most orchardists would have been left out at the start of the program. “If we’re spending public money we want to ensure that everyone is eligible,� he said. Trees have to be ordered ahead of time and nurseries need time to start them, ready for planting in a future year too, he added. So, next year would be the earliest the program could actually be an encouragement to growers to make the decision to replant, he noted. McRae is also hopeful that although it’s not a requirement in the program, that growers will choose to support B.C. nurseries in sourcing their young trees. Beginning the program next year gives local nurseries a chance to plan ahead. “I would like to see the benefits of the program spread around,� he said. McRae also pointed out that this is a different replant program, not a continuation of the one that finished a year ago.
This one applies only to orchards of a minimum size, and is only for growers who are planting varieties of apples which are receiving premium prices in the marketplace and which are appropriate in the location of the orchard, to ensure the best quality fruit and the best returns for growers, McRae explained. Even if land has not been planted in the last few years, if it was orchard with the last five years, it’s eligible for this replant program, he said. It’s targeted to encourage the industry to become more competitive, he added. “I’m pleased we are able to provide this $2 million program,� he said. “The tree fruit sector is going through challenging times. This is an incentive program to encourage best practices. “Some replant programs in the past have not been so successful. We want the industry to be viable for a long time.� jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

However, McRae told the Capital News this week that growers who had already replanted this spring did so as part of their business plan, not with the incentive of a replant program, and if it was retroactive to this year’s planting window, it would not have provided any incentive. “This is for those who are struggling, to push them in the direction of replanting,� he explained. In fact, McRae stated that beginning the program this year would have meant those who hadn’t planned to replant this year anyway could not be part of the program’s first

CLOSE-UP ▼ BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE
Film industry leaves behind positive impact on a local economy Wandering from A3 CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. In A Mother’s Nightmare, Gish plays Maddie, the character who is based on the film’s writer, Shelley Gillen. “This has been a gift of a job…I have two sons, so I feel like it really captures this kind of primitive, protecting mama bear that I really respond to.” Gish had never been to West Kelowna before; however, she is positive she will return with her family. “Being here, in this landscape, has sort of woven itself into a sense of peace and ease.” The other stars of the made-for-TV film will also be back. Jessica Lowndes— best known for her role of Adrianna in 90210— grew up in Vancouver and spent her summers at her grandparents’ house in the Okanagan. She said that she signed up for A Mother’s Nightmare because it seemed like it would be “a challenge.” “I love challenges; I like things that scare me. When I first read this character, she’s pretty dark. For me, as an actress, it’s very difficult trying to make her human and not just evil,” said Lowndes. Several of the scenes were shot at Mount Boucherie Senior Secondary. During those shoots, Lowndes and costar Grant Gustin—who plays Sebastian Smythe in the television series Glee—were surrounded
by hundreds of star-struck teenagers. “They watch Glee as well as 90210, so I felt like we were the Beatles at that school,” recalled Lowndes. “Kids that don’t even go to that school were out there, just kind of camping out because they heard we were filming there. It’s crazy, but so great and so fun. They don’t get films here very often, so it’s awesome.” Gustin had never been to Canada before shooting this film. “Over the past six months I really wanted to do a project like this that I could kind of sink my teeth into,” said Gustin. “Pretty much the only thing people have seen me do is Glee. I came from a theatre world, I’ve done a lot of grittier stuff—it’s kind of what I prefer to do.” Gustin said that working with the local crew was a positive experience. “The crew is amazing. They’re so nice and accommodating and they were all trying to hook us up because they’re locals and we’re from out of town. In every possible way they were looking out for us.” Conversations with producers, the publicist and even actors flow in a similar direction: The Okanagan’s beauty is breathtaking, the whole crew has been great, it was an amazing experience working in West Kelowna and the Okanagan film commissioner is doing a good job. The latter comment
A Gift in Memory Makes a Difference
is a feather in the cap for Jon Summerland, who has been working hard to make the area a moviemaking destination. “I would say it’s mission accomplished; the footage they’ve got is beautiful,” said Summerland, film commissioner for the Okanagan region. “It’s a good selling factor for us in the future.” According to Summerland, the budget for A Mother’s Nightmare was $1.82 million. “Some of it leaves
with talent, but mostly it gets spent here. It’s spent in accommodations, it’s spent at Tim Hortons, it’s spent everywhere.” Perhaps equally as beneficial as the dollars was the learning opportunity for the inexperienced local crew who were hoping to get their feet in the door of the film business. “There is no other place that these guys could’ve got the training that they got…they got right in and worked with
Oscar-winning art directors. Where else can they do that? “If they go to Vancouver, they’re not going to do that. They’re going to watch a parking lot. It would be months and months before they’re an assistant of the director. “Here, people are learning from the best really early. It’s lucky for these kids.” A record was set in 2011 when three films were shot in the area. A Mother’s Nightmare is al-
ready the second of three films shooting back-toback in the Okanagan this year. Summerland said that five films could potentially shoot here before a new calendar is put on the wall. His goal is to get more full movies to the area and, possibly, even a TV series. “We are working closely with people to get a television series into the Okanagan. The only missing piece is a studio— that studio may be closer

Summerland agreed that the industry takes up a big footprint while filming.

Local barista’s persistence keeps alive chance for national finals spot Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Dawn-Luv Charles wanted to compete at the Western Canadian regional barista championships in Vancouver earlier this month. But she couldn’t. The owner of Kelowna’s Bean Scene Down-
town coffee shop on Bernard Avenue and the Bean Scene HQ coffee shop on Dickson Road, was in Italy, enjoying all that Tuscany has to offer. How she got there is a story unto itself. But more about that later. When Charles returned to Canada from Italy, she asked the organ-
izers of the competition if she could compete in the Prairie regional instead B.C.’s. And then she asked again. And again. And again. “I basically wore them down,” Charles says with a smile. “In the end, they let me compete in a region where I don’t even live.”

The contestants will have 45 minutes to set up, prepare 12 different drinks—four espressos, four cappuccinos and four “signature” drinks—and
clean up. They will be judged not only on technique but also flavour and a host of other technical aspects. They have to supply all their own equipment and supplies for the competition (other than the actually espresso and cappuccino machines), including the coffee, cups and ingredients and then prepare the coffees to the exacting standards of the judges. “There’s even a certain amount of showmanship involved,” said Charles. The showmanship should come fairly easy. That trip to Tuscany was won on the daytime
television game show The Price is Right. Charles and her husband stopped in Los Angeles when they were moving out to B.C. and got tickets for the show. Charles said the 300 audience members are all interviewed before the show in order to select possible contestants. Her husband was selected and he ended up winning. Part of the prize was that trip to Italy. So, if he has passed on a few of his showmanship pointers to his self-confessed “coffee geek” wife, she should do just fine in Calgary. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

So next week, Charles will pack up her specially roasted coffee beans, her cups and other coffee-making paraphernalia and head to Calgary to go head-to-head with some of the best baristas from the prairie provinces, all vying for a place in the national barista championship in Toronto later this year. Not bad for a woman who admits that prior to 2010, her knowledge of coffee consisted only of knowing her favourite Starbucks order. But since then, the intricacies of the coffee business—everything from roasting beans to blending flavours to pouring that perfect shot of espresso and creating a masterpiece in a cup—have become her world. “When I came here I was a real ‘green’ bean,” she says. “Now, I just love it.” The Charleses bought the well-known downtown Kelowna coffee shop two years ago from former owners John and Deb Anderson. Charles and her husband had just arrived in Kelowna from Ontario and were looking to buy a business. “Our realtor said he heard the Bean Scene was for sale, so we went to have a look. The minute I walked in, I felt at home.” Six months after buying the business, Charles made another deal with the Andersons, this time to buy the retail portion of the bigger Bean Scene outlet the pair were planning for Dickson Road behind the Landmark office towers. That store contains the roasterie and bakery that supplies not only the Charles’s two Bean Scene

NEWS ▼ COURT
Victim broke up extortion ploy Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
A Kelowna man who teamed up with his girlfriend last summer to confine and brutalize a young woman they believed owed a debt to a friend, will spend the next 20 months in prison. The sentence was delivered Thursday, nearly seven months after Dustin Barry Anderson, 40, pleaded guilty to assault, unlawful confinement and uttering threats. It’s an unusual delay, even in a backed-up court system, caused by the fact that Anderson, in the 11th hour, contested some of the details relating to the charges. That forced Crown counsel to call the victim —who can’t be named because of a publication ban—to take the stand this week, to recount and confirm details of her attack to the court. Sitting in the witness box, the slender woman, now 28, explained how Anderson and his thengirlfriend Melissa Senko had lured her to a hotel room, and tried to force her to agree to a scheme that would allow them to collect on a debt owed to the unnamed third party. They told her they wanted her to do “jobs” to pay back the alleged loss, and also offer up a weekly sum they’d use to keep a lawyer on retainer, should they be caught for any of the misdeeds. To ensure the victim’s compliance, Senko spent hours torturing and degrading the victim while Anderson stayed nearby offering his support. “He didn’t have the guts to defend me,” said the victim. And, she explained, she could have used the help. By night’s end, Senko subjected her to degrading full-body searches, hateful comments, knife-wounds to her face and arm that needed medical intervention, as well as numerous burns to her legs and back. When the night started, however, Anderson indicated to the victim she could avoid what was to come. “He said, ‘Just tell the truth, tell the truth and it will be easier for you,’” she recalled. “Then (Senko) punched me in the face. I said I wasn’t guilty, ‘please let me go’ and I was crying.”
It seemed, from her perspective, however, that Senko was enjoying the work at hand. “She said, ‘I’m not finished yet, I need to show you what I’m made of,’” she said. “She was becoming adrenalized with the fear she was putting in me.” That’s when she tried to walk out of the hotel room, but Anderson intervened pushing her back to the hotel bed. “I panicked and I went for the house phone,” she said. “I tried to dial out, then she grabbed the handset, hit me in the head (with it) and almost knocked me out—I saw stars.” Other hits followed, as the night unfolded and the sight of the victim’s blood prompted an unusual response from her captors. “When she got a good shot in, they’d high five,” she said. They also took photos and video. “(Senko) said there wasn’t enough blood, and she needed to get a few more shots in to make the
pictures look good,” she said. It was Anderson who was taking the pictures and shooting video footage. As the night progressed, a second attempt at escape offered the window to freedom. At the end of another struggle with Senko, the victim was knocked to the bed and landed near her cellphone, which had earlier been taken away. She grabbed the phone and slipped it into her bra, under her armpit. Shortly afterwards, Anderson and Senko started “taking hoots” from their crackpipe. The pipe, which had a long hose and a glass stem, didn’t distract them for long, however. Senko ended up using it to burn the victim. “I have a lot of burn (scars) on my back and legs,” she said. Then the knife came out, and the struggle left the victim with several gashes. “I can remember the look on her face—
she was so excited and so pumped up,” she said. “She was like a kid at Christmas.” The night’s damage was bloody, and eventually the victim was allowed to go to the bathroom. First, Anderson helped clean her wounds, then she was permitted a small window of time to use the facilities. That’s when she uncovered the phone she’d stashed and kept hidden, despite the duo’s attempt to find it. She hid it under a towel on her lap and dialled 911, and when the call was answered she whispered the hotel’s name and room number, twice. A short time later the police arrived and the victim was able to tell them what happened through a torrent of tears. Although Senko, who was sentenced to three years, was the main aggressor, the trial revealed how Anderson, who has a lengthy crime history, also played a significant role in the crime. kmichaels@kelowncapnews.com

Skilled seniors care givers being replaced by new hires
To the editor: I have heard of a quotation which states that the measure of a civilization is determined by the way it treats its aged and infirm. It would seem that ours is showing signs of failure. One aspect is the new tendency of some seniors care centres to rid themselves of experienced care givers in order to pay less to new hires. Is this another example of corporate greed? I have heard a few horror stories regarding the treatment of seniors in some facilities in our nation and below the border. As a senior, I am beginning to have second thoughts about putting myself in such a situation. However, my present bone of contention concerns Interior Health’s meal program for seniors which has been operating five days per week for approximately 10

Freedom to change mind hallmark of our society
T
he ability to change one’s mind is supposed to be one of the great hallmarks of our democratic society. We all have beliefs about things, but sometimes political leaders or other popular figures in our society come forward trying to introduce new ideas into our personal and collective thinking at various stages in our lives. For Canadians, that is supposed to be a healthy characteristic, growing and adapting as the world we live in changes around us. I was reminded of that this week by the criticism from U.S. conservative critics levelled at a high school student named Jonathan Krohn.
Back in 2009, at the age of 13, young Jonathan became a media darling of the conservative lunatic fringe in the U.S. when he delivered a right-wing speech at Barry the Conservative PolitiGerding cal Action Conference. His speech was captured on video and went viral on the Internet, and he was invited to appear on dozens of TV and radio shows. Billed as the future of the Republican Party, Krohn even wrote a book titled Define Conservatism. But in a little more than three years since that speech, Krohn was again at the centre of a wave of publicity directed his way this past week, because he has chosen to abandon many of the

conservative social values he espoused as a 13-year-old. The teenager, who plans to attend New York University in the fall and study philosophy, found the conservative social value wishlist too restrictive for the realities of society today. “I was really reading philosophy
that didn’t have anything to do with politics, that gave me a breather and made me realize that a lot of what I said was ideological blather that really wasn’t meaningful,” Krohn said. Watching him on TV, I could see a kid who got it, who saw the value of critical thinking skills and put them to good use, who did what every younger generation is supposed to do—challenge the views of their parents and keep pushing for our society to strive to be better. Of course, in the dysfunctional U.S., the Conservative types trashed Krohn’s transformation as misdirected thinking, treating him like an alien in his own country. Consider the response to Krohn by Conservative blogger James Capua:

Fed, B.C. gov’ts run ‘roughshod’ over unions
Locally owned and operated for 25 Years!
To the editor: Stephen Harper’s majority government and Christy Clark’s provincial Liberal’s have forcibly dealt with Air Canada (two sectors), British Columbia teachers, and the Canadian post office in the last year or so. All of these organizations are unionized. All of these unions were legislated to go back to work with the threat of being charged with a criminal act if they participated in organized walkouts. The general feeling I seemed to get from most people across Canada was simple: “Good. They should all go back to work. Unions are filled with lazy, demanding crybabies.� My mind is boggled by this notion, quite frankly, since the basic intent of unions is to protect the little guy. That is defined as the person who puts in a hard day’s work and deserves to be paid handsomely for it. Of course there have been incredibly damaging situations where union members employed thuggish, bullying tactics to get their own way. However, I would not allow that minority to speak for everyone else. Corporate interests have pulled similar capers but they
have fleets of lawyers to attend to their every need. So, over time, unions have been categorically demonized and one can easily understand why: Businesses will now pay you less as a result of their demise. The ideal union unites the everyday worker so they can link arms and stand together to negotiate their wages and quality of life. In its most basic form, unions are peaceful and democratic. Most companies, by their very nature, are typically willing to pay you as little as they can to increase profit margins. It isn’t out of any nefarious intent since their methodology is simple—make more money. Unions were created to unite the laborer, or the skilled worker, or the writer, etc. to fight for the rights of these people. Larger companies have made it their priority to bust unions by either fleeing to countries that are not prone to unionization or participating in slanderous campaigns against unions to create instability. Big businesses want unions gone so they can continue to pay the little guy less and less. Soon this will reach epidemic proportions and
local opinion leaders will come up with a brilliant idea—organize and negotiate. And the cycle continues. All of this isn’t going to matter if Harper’s government and Clark’s Liberals continue to run roughshod over unions while some people applaud loudly, happy to see unions fail. Until, of course, that means the average worker is paid pennies above minimum wage, struggles to pay rent, is without benefits in a job that is nowhere near stable since the company is actively seeking someone who will work for less. Unions make your neighbour your friend, not just your competition for the next job opening. Stand up for what you believe in and stand together. Unions are not the problem as plenty of them operate ethically and within reason, seeking fair wages and benefits for everyone under their collective umbrella. There will always be exceptions. Together we can make it the rule.

Chop off dept. heads, see others scramble for jobs
To the editor: With all the rhetoric over city hall department head salaries includ-

ready to take over those cushy positions at half to 2/3 the current salary packages.

B.C. government withholds money for agriculture
To the editor: f So, Christy Clark and company strike again. This time it’s the farmers and agriculture in B.C. According to Judie Steeve’s article in Capital News, Friday, June 29 (Government Misr leads Growers on Replant Program), after a big photo-op and much trumpeting to the masst
es, the Liberals are withholding the replanting assistance program funds announced in May as not being available until 2013. In the story, Kirpal Bopari, president of the B.C. Fruit Growers Association, tells us the Liberal government wants to starve a lot of growers out of agriculture and farming. The independent farmer is
obviously a threat to the Liberal corporate interests in B.C. and the family farmer is suffering because of it. “Families first,� Premier Clark? Not in this case, as in many others. This government has done nothing to help the family farmer in B.C. The NDP have exciting plans to nurture the independent
family farmer in B.C. How frustrating that Adrian Dix and his NDP supporters have to wait until next May in order to help agriculture and the growers in British Columbia. Laurence D.M. Marshall, Kelowna

Meal pick up means seniors’ social contact is lost
years at the former May Bennett home in Rutland as well as at two churches in the city on certain days. This has been wonderful for seniors to get excellent meals and to socialize at the same time. Week-
ly menus have been printed for pickup or posted on the Internet so that choices may be made. Unfortunately, it was announced that it will no longer be possible for people to be served hot meals on site. Instead there will be noon time
meals for pick up or delivery. Gone will be the opportunity for conversations with old or new friends, which means so much to those who cannot get out very often. Of course there could be a cost consideration for
the chef who provides the meals. Many people have indicated a willingness to pay more if this is the case as the price has been raised in the past with no objections. This time no such opportunity was offered. There may be a bleak
future ahead for a lot of seniors if this bureaucratic mind set continues. Oh well, it was wonderful while it lasted. G. Bauer, Kelowna

“One day soon an errant whale will wash up on some liberal coast and there will be no vast armada of government-subsidized empathy mobilized to save it. The money to do it just won’t be there. We can’t be that whale, flopping around waiting for the experts to get us off the beach and into safe waters. We can either stay off the beach
by dint of our own exertions, or we can rot.� One could agree about the money not being there because that needed tax revenue will be safely stored away in Bermuda, Switzerland and Cayman Islands bank accounts of the obscenely wealthy. I think the message Krohn has learned at such a tender age is that solving the issues of our time can’t be led by political or religious ideologues, it is
led by people willing to face the hard challenge at times of embracing new ideas, of thinking outside the box. If a 17-year-old kid can figure that out, surely the rest of us, responsible adults, can and should do the same. Barry Gerding is the managing editor of the Capital News. bgerding @kelownacapnews.com

Rattlers not keen to bite people but they will if provoked TRAIL MIX
Judie Steeves
P
eople are continually fascinated by creatures that can kill them. In the Okanagan, that includes cougars, bears, rattlesnakes and black widow spiders, although most of them would much prefer not to. Rattlers, for instance, would much prefer to use their precious store of venom to kill small mammals. That’s why they have a telltale rattle at the end of their tails—to alert passing humans or bison so they don’t step on them. Imagine a 2,000pound mammal with sharp hooves walking around a 2.5-pound reptile? After decades of in-
terpreting the Okanagan landscape and its wild inhabitants for visitors and residents alike at local parks, Scott Alexander knows a thing or two about rattlesnakes, as well as most of the other denizens of the wild that are native to this valley. And, he admits quite frankly that he’s fascinated by rattlesnakes. Their ability to sense the heat signatures of prey at night is sophisticated beyond our understanding, he says. Using a sensory organ located between the eye and the nostril, they use nerve tissue that’s sensitive to infrared heat to detect one one-thousandth of a degree Farenheit difference in heat, in the dark. That allows him to lie in wait at night until prey such as a mouse comes by. He comments it’s almost supernatural and unfair because the animals they hunt can’t see them, but few creatures in the world have such capabil-
CONTRIBUTED
RATTLESNAKES would prefer to use their precious supply of venom to kill small mammals for food rather than attack people. ities to sense the presence of a heat-producing creature in the dark. Yet, after mating, a female rattler will not eat for as long as a year and a half, the term of the pregnancy, and produce six to eight young. Normally, they will eat a couple of mice a week, and they are capable of swallowing animals larger than their girth, including young marmots or squirrels. Their venom can kill a mouse in three seconds. Not surprising that not many other critters will mess around with a rattlesnake. However, in the unlikely event you are bitten, stay calm because there
is anti-venom available at the nearest hospital. And, generally the bite won’t kill you although it is very painful, says Alexander. The treatment is, however, expensive. Alexander says it costs $60,000 to treat someone bitten by a rattler, with a single vial of anti-venom costing $800. And, those most often bitten are males between the ages of 12 and 30 and just guess where they were bitten? Not the foot, which is the most likely place since they are ground creatures, but on the hand and forearms. What does that tell you? Not enough sense to leave them alone; had to pick one up. While rattlesnakes have no ears, are deaf to airborne sounds and generally have poor eyesight, they are very sensitive to
ground vibrations. They use their tongue to identify what’s in the air around them, by waving it around to gather information. Some of the same features that you find attractive are what makes the Okanagan Valley rattlesnake habitat: it’s hot and dry. The semi-arid Okanagan’s iconic mariposa lily and meadowlark habitat is also that of the Western rattlesnake. Unfortunately, the fact that more and more people have moved into that valley bottom habitat has made it less and less available for the rattler. For one thing, many people have a bias against snakes in general and rattlers in particular. They believe the only good snake is a dead snake, so they’ve slaughtered them for decades,
until they are now considered at risk here. The expansion of the valley’s towns and agriculture has also take over their traditional habitat, and caused more conflicts. Alexander notes that although only a third of one per cent of this province’s landmass is grasslands, 35 per cent of B.C.’s red and blue-listed species live in grasslands. If we can keep this loss of habitat to a minimum rattlesnakes will be here for a long time; they’re survivors and worthy of our respect, he says. However, the most important way of conserving natural habitat is educating people about the critters that live there and why it’s important to protect it, yet park interpretation is one of the areas in which the provincial government has been
cutting staff rather than adding them. Keep that in mind the next time a residential, farm, commercial or industrial application comes up for re-zoning in your area, and suggest instead, that infill should be the first place for such new construction. If you own land that includes some natural areas, leave them be so you’re providing at least some habitat for wild critters that are being pushed out of this valley. And, if you care about the loss of education as a tool to conserve habitat, let your local MLAs know that you care and that you’re not the least bit impressed.

Summer wine fest seen Foerster back in Kelowna court as tourism attraction STAFF REPORTER
Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The valley’s biggest wine festival will launch Friday, allowing locals and tourists alike to immerse themselves in the diverse flavours of the Okanagan. “The Summer Wine Festival is our third of four annual Okanagan Wine Festivals, and the positioning is designed to attract the peak summer tourists,â€? explained Blair Baldwin, with the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society. It’s the newest addition to the catalogue of wine festivals—having been held just once before—and, as such, organizers decided to ensure it offered a fresh experience. While the fall festival is known for being one of the top events of its kind in North America for allowing visitors to experience wine culture during harvest, the summer version will capitalize on partnerships. This year, for example, Axel Merckx’s Granfondo event in Penticton will benefit from the valley’s vintages. “This Sunday, 2,600 riders for cycling events from around the world are coming to Penticton to ride,â€? Baldwin said. “In Europe, Granfondos traditionally are followed by an outdoor party‌ Participants go home, have a massage, a rest and go out to party. It’s classic.â€? Building on tradition, they partnered with the Granfondo and organized an event that will blend wine, food and music at Gyro Park. In Kelowna, an equally savvy part-
nership will roll out. Knowing that the Keloha festival will likely be the stomping ground for younger residents and visitors, the local leg of the event will offer a mature take on entertainment. “We’re holding Pop Goes the Cork in the Rotary Arts area,� he explained. The artist hired to entertain as wine is sipped and local nosh is dished out “won’t rock the joint� but will entertain with his soulful jazz. “It’s just another example of offering something for people looking for something to do.� Luckly, he said, the weather forecast is looking amazing, which means that it should be a big success. Hopefully, he said, its success will be felt in the coffers of local businesses. As is Okanagan wine festivals offer a economic boon to the valley. “Revenues from ticket sales at 150 events and wine sales during 10 days amounted to $4.74 million,� Baldwin said, noting those figures were collected in 2010 and exclude revenues garnered from hotels and restaurants. “If you think 30 years ago, people thought the local wine industry was built so grape growers would be justified crying into their (drinks)—that’s great,� he said, adding the key to success is looking for fresh ideas and adapting around core values. “There are opportunities.� To learn more about the wine festival events, check out www.thewinefestivals.com/the_summer_okanagan_wine_ festival/. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
West Kelowna ramps up health centre campaign with new hire Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
In its bid to get a health care facility in West Kelowna, the district has turned to a former highranking Interior Health official for help. The municipality has contracted retired IH Okanagan health service area chief operating officer Joanne Konnert to help with its ongoing efforts to establish a business case for a primary health care facility on the Westside. The district said it is hoping to capitalize on Konnert’s extensive experience in health care administration to investigate options for such a facility. Konnert, formerly in charge of Kelowna General Hospital as part of her IH duties, will begin her new job in September. She brings more than 30 years of experience in administrative positions in health care provision to her role with West Kelowna. “Council is extremely pleased to have Ms. Konnert’s assistance in gaining a good understanding of what options are avail-
able to us as we explore our health care needs, and service delivery models, on the Westside,� said Mayor Doug Findlater. “Council has not
veered from our goal of seeing a westside health facility built and, with Ms. Konnert’s expertise, will move one step closer to our vision.�
The man charged with the murder of Armstrong teenager Taylor Van Diest is looking to avoid a jury trial for charges relating to two of the three violent acts he allegedly committed. In addition to the Halloween 2011 murder of Van Diest, Matthew Foerster, who appeared via videolink in a Kelowna courtroom Thursday, faces a series of other charges from two previous episodes. For an alleged 2004 Cherryville home invasion, Foerster faces charges of break and enter and assault causing bodily harm. Foerster also faces charges of sexual assault and unlawful confinement for a 2005 incident at Kelowna’s Garden of Eden. In both of those matters, Foerster is willing to waive his right to a preliminary inquiry and elects for a trial by Supreme Court judge alone. A trial date for those matters could be set as early as July 23. For the murder of Van Diest, however, Foerster is required to be tried by a judge and jury, and an appointment to set the pretrial date was set for July 12. It seems likely the pretrial for the Van Diest murder will be held in late August, to accommodate lawyers’ schedules. Van Diest, 18, was found beaten and uncon-

care of patients
Interior Health is expanding its use of voice recognition technology for physician reports at its hospitals. The new software translates spoken words into text, and will result in both cost savings and quicker report turnaround times. “This technology will allow Interior Health to meet the ever increasing demand for transcription services, while taking advantage of technology that will result in improved turnaround time for vital patient care information,” said Interior Health board chairman Norman Embree. Voice recognition technology, also known as “automatic speech recognition,” “ASR,” “computer speech recognition,” “speech to text,” or just “STT” allows patient information to be available at different points of care more quickly and efficiently. This is particularly important in cases when time is of the essence and OUR GOAL IS TO BE multiple care providers BOTH INNOVATIVE are involved, such as trauma patients or those who AND EFFICIENT are critically ill. IN THE DELIVERY “Our goal is to be both OF HIGH QUALITY innovative and efficient in HEALTH CARE. the delivery of high quality health care,” said Mal Mal Griffin, Griffin, Interior Health Interior Health chief information officer. “By introducing this technology across the health authority, we will achieve over $1 million in savings and better turnaround time for vital physician reports.” The process for physicians dictating notes remains unchanged—the improvements happen behind the scene. Traditionally, once a physician finishes dictating their notes an audio file is sent to a transcriptionist, who listens to the recording and types up the report. The turnaround time for this traditional transcription service varies from about 24 to 72 hours. With voice recognition technology that time is expected to improve by 30 per cent. A transcriptionist still reviews the automatically produced text file, edits it if required, and saves the document to the patient’s electronic medical record. Quality measures are built in and, if required, a transcriptionist will listen to the original audio file, transcribe and save the document. Through this editing process the “smart technology” learns to better recognize the particular physician’s voice and speech patterns. “Many of our physicians have been asking for this technology. We expect the benefits will be significant,” said Dr. Michael Ertel, medical director for emergency services and critical care transport advisor for Interior Health. “For example, if a complicated trauma patient was seen and initially resuscitated at Kootenay Boundary Hospital, and then transferred to one of our tertiary care trauma centres, voice recognition would enable the original emergency department physician’s initial critical care summary to be available to the accepting trauma doctor much more quickly.” Interior Health successfully implemented voice recognition technology to support physicians in Diagnostic Imaging in spring 2011. Ground work to further expand the technology will commence this month and the software will be introduced at nine locations, starting in September, including the hospitals in Kelowna and Penticton.

Mission Creek safe for now
The B.C. River Forecast Centre has ended a high stream flow advisory warning for Mission Creek. While the creek flow and level has dropped over the past two days, the Central Okanagan Regional Emergency Program continues to urge residents to
stay safely back from the edge of local creeks and streams. Creek banks could be slippery due to the recent high water levels and in some places, may have sustained erosion and undercutting. The Mission Creek Greenway has been com-
pletely re-opened for use. Minor trail surface repairs have been done to the section along Phase 2 between the Cedars (second) bridge and the Smoothing Stones (third) bridge. As well, the recreational trail underpasses at the Gordon Drive and Ca-
sorso Road bridges are accessible once again, now that creek water levels are dropping. The underpass to access a trail on the south side of the Gordon Drive Bridge will remain closed until creek levels drop further. Property owners
in low lying areas near creeks and streams should continue to protect their properties from potential flooding until water levels return to seasonal norms. Be aware that any heavy rainfall could once again result in rapid increases in creek levels and flows.
Anyone noticing a potential problem or flooding concern in the Central Okanagan region is asked to call the regional fire dispatch centre at 250-4698577. Sandbags are available at fire halls for any property owner facing imminent danger from flooding.

SPORTS â–ź OLYMPIC ROWING
Dean heads to London with Team Canada Kelowna’s Will Dean will realize a childhood dream when he competes in his first Olympic Games later this month in London. The 25-year-old KSS grad and son of former world class triathlete, JoAnne Ritchie, will compete as a member of the Canadian men’s four rowing crew. Dean is currently in Italy training with the national rowing squad. Capital News reporter Warren Henderson connected with Dean via mail this week to get his thoughts leading up to the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. Q: What was your reaction to recently being named to the Olympic team ? A: I was honoured and humbled. I train with an
amazing group of guys, and it’s unfortunate that there aren’t more seats in the boat because every one of them is a great athlete with huge potential. Q: Tell us about your evolution with the national program and how you moved up through the ranks to become an Olympian. A: I started rowing for the under 23 program in 2008 while rowing for U.C. Berkeley. Every summer I would come up to Elk Lake (Victoria) and train for a few weeks before heading off to the under 23 world championships. When I graduated in 2010, I moved to Victoria to train full time. Last summer in Slovenia, I qualified in the boat I’m in now for the upcoming London Olympics.
Q: What has been the highlight of your rowing career with the Canadian team so far ? A: Although I was definitely happy to be named to London Olympic team, the highlight of my career so far was qualifying the men’s four for the Olympics in Slovenia last year. We came together as a boat and had an phenomenal final race. I hope that we can build on that performance this summer. Q: What are your thoughts about rowing in the same program with another athlete from Kelowna and an Olympic medalist, Scott Frandsen ? A: Scott Frandsen is an amazing athlete because even though he has accomplished so much, he still approaches each day with an unrelenting sense of purpose and in-

self to high standard, and
leads by example day in day out. It’s a rare day when Scott’s not the first one to practice. Beyond that, Scott is simply a really great guy who is wellliked by everyone. It’s awesome to have him as teammate. Q: What are your expectations for London ? A: I try to not get too wrapped up in expectations, because I can’t control the speed of other boats. All I can focus on right now is going as fast as possible on the day of the race. Of course, I want to do well, but my only expectation is that I get the best out of myself and my teammates. Dean will compete in the men’s 4 with Anthony Jacob of Vancouver, North Vancouver’s Michael Wilkinson, and Derek O’Farrell of Montreal.
Kelowna United’s Cristofoli named top keeper The Rutland Soccer Association hosted its annual Canada Day soccer tournament last weekend as hundreds of young soccer players hit pitches at fields around Kelowna in the annual tournament. There were 127 teams in total taking part ranging from Under-11 to Under-18 divisions and coming from places including the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, Alberta and the Okanagan Valley. In the Under-11 girls division Kelowna United U-11 Team Chaos keeper Chelsea Cristofoli was the top keeper, claiming the goalie wars competition. Her team won silver in their division after winning their first three games
but losing in the final of the girls Under-11 division. Also in the Under-11 girls division, Kelowna United 2 placed third in section 1 and the Kelowna Lions were third in section 2. Here’s a look at the rest of the results from local soccer teams. Age groups were split into sections due to the large number of teams. •In the Under-14 boys division, Kelowna United U-14 team placed first in section 1 while the KU Under-13 club placed first in section 3. •In the Under-16 boys, Kelowna United was third in section 1. •Kelowna United White placed second in section 2 of the girls Under-12 division.

••• The Thompson Okanagan Football Club’s Under-13 boys team came up just a goal short, playing in the inaugural BC Soccer Youth Provincial Premier Cup Finals on Saturday in Vancouver. TOFC started well and absorbed a lot of pressure from a well organized Surrey team. Taitum MacAulay (Vernon) pulled off an excellent early save and pushed a powerful shot over the bar to safety. Connor Glennon (Vernon) delivered a good corner into the heart of the Surrey box where Sam McDonald (Kelowna) scrambled with the defense and managed to get a shot on goal only to have
it saved by the keeper. TOFC won a free kick and Mitch Morgan (Lake Country) headed the ball on for Connor Glennon to get a break away. His shot just eased over the bar and the half ended scoreless. The tight play continued in the second half until Surrey won the ball on the edge of the box and hit a superb strike beating keeper MacAulay and giving them the 1-0 lead. ••• The TOFC U-18 Boys were unsuccessful in their bid to make it to the final game of the U-18 provincials league. TOFC went down in defeat to the Coquitlam Metro Ford squad, ending what was a very successful season for this team overall.
Harvard chooses Plant
Westside Warriors rookie defenseman Adam Plant, 17, has accepted a scholarship to attend Harvard University for the 2014-15 season. Plant will suit up for the Harvard Crimson of the ECAC Hockey League (Division 1 NCAA Collegiate Hockey). Plant, from Penticton, split last season between the Warriors and the Penticton Lakers of the KIJHL. He tallied seven goals and 21 assists for the Lakers while nabbing two goals and one assist in just four games with the Warriors. “The main reason I chose Harvard was because of the schooling and hockey program combination,� said Plant. “I have heard nothing but great things about the program from many people in the NCAA.� Plant says Harvard sought his talents because of his offensive ability, vision, and hockey sense. It also helped that he’s a straight A student. “Adam is a very special young defenseman,� said Warriors head coach/ GM Rylan Ferster. “He sees the game extremely well and has great poise with the puck. In the games he played with us he made an impact every time.� “This year he will step in and be a player that can play quality minutes for us right away,� added Ferster. Plant will help out with Warriors Hockey School from Aug. 6 to 10 then arrive for main camp in late August.

Studs take Jays hosted tourney Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
After nine years in operation the Kelowna Jays Canada Day Baseball Blast cash tournament is as strong as ever. And so are the Seattle Studs. The Studs, one of the top senior men’s baseball teams in the Pacific Northwest, won their third straight Baseball Blast in Kelowna, taking home $7,000 for its efforts after a 3-1 win over Nanaimo in the tournament finale on Monday. “It’s the quality of their players and the age of their players that makes them so tough,” said tournament organizer Bill Bayne. “The majority of their players are 23 or 24 years old. They are all excollege players and they have a couple of ex-pro players. They are very good. They are very deep defensively and offenrsively and they have good pitching.” f And that’s a pretty good recipe for success. The Studs mowed down the competition at the Canada Day Blast, including a 7-0 quarter-final win over the host West Coast Authentic Jays. The Jays had gone through the round robin at a perfect 4-and-0 after two wins

In the five years since opening the Thistletown Boxing Club in Kelowna, never has there been such a solid group of young boxers coming out of Kelowna. A talented and committed group of boxers between the ages of 13 and 19 have been bringing home medals and titles from a variety of boxing cards this year including a bronze medal at the Canadian nationals in Quebec from Connor McKinley. “I’m really, really happy with where the club is at,” said club founder and coach Graham McIntosh. “The numbers have grown consistently over the years and right now the age bracket of my competitive team is right where I want it to be. They are young. They can develop and mature physically. They will gain experience and move up the ranks to where they can qualify for junior provincial and national events.” The year started well for Thistletown boxers,
who brought home six B.C. Golden Gloves trophies from the B.C. championships in Vernon in April. McKinley, Spencer Howard, Austin Riggs, Josh Slager, Hudsen Andersen and Chayse Schwandt all claimed titles at the Vernon event.

Painted a vibrant orange colour and placed approximately 150-200 yards from the green, Quik Tees are tee boxes that shorten the courses to approximately 3,000

The new tees will offer an opportunity for golfers of all abilities to play a championship golf course, making golf more accessible and fun and are geared towards: • Junior or senior golfers looking for a shorter layout • Beginner golfers learning the game • Families looking to enjoy the game together • Avid golfers looking for a different challenge • Golfers wanting to practice their short game • Golfers looking to play a quick twilight round. “Getting started in golf can unfortunately be intimidating and difficult for new or young players.

relieves some of that pressure by making the holes a lot shorter, and allowing for an easier, more private tee shot from much closer to the hole,” said GolfBC spokesperson Ken Langdon. “At GolfBC one of our highest priorities is to grow the game, and we think the Quik Tees will help achieve that goal,” he added. GolfBC courses set up with “Quik Tees” include the OGC’s Bear and Quail courses along with Gallagher’s Canyon and The Pinnacle in Kelowna. Nicklaus North in Whistler; Mayfair Lakes in Richmond, Furry Creek near Lion’s Bay, Arbutus Ridge in Cobble Hill and Olympic View in Victoria also offer the new layout.

Strings the Thing instructors will showcase their stuff Jennifer smith STAFF REPORTER
Nine blind mice and upside-down music— this is not your average orchestral training camp concert. Coming up from Penticton for one evening next week, the instructors from the Strings the Thing string instrument summer camp for kids and adults are out to break any preconceived notions of what playing the violin, viola or double bass are all about with an evening concert to showcase talent and love for music. “It’s not a competitive camp like the National Youth Orchestra. These people are there for the love of playing,” said Calvin Dyck, a featured instructor up from Abbotsford. The National Youth Orchestra is an auditioned summer camp for youth aged 16 to 25 years old. The students audition to get in, audition for the seat they will hold during the camp and gener-
ally wind up auditioning for a job as a paid musician in an orchestra. Four out of every 10 orchestral players in the country were once youth orchestra members. So rigorous is the experience, last year’s camp director, Barbara Smith, told Toronto.com they have a sign-up sheet for cold therapy with a nurse. She figures she’ll one day write an autobiography titled “I Woke Up Screaming,” as the job of managing it all is so intense.
Rosemary Thompson Penticton’s version is somewhat more tame. Originally, the city hosted the Penticton
HIGH TIDE ENTERTAINMENT AND 99.9 SUN FM PRESENT
School of the Arts; after that disappeared, Strings the Thing was created by John Suderman and Elizabeth Lupton to fulfil a small portion of the mandate, offering a fun way for people of all ages to play the instruments they love. As such, they have some medical doctors who are using their week off to come to camp to play. There are a few moms who are bringing their families to Penticton to camp while they go off to play—music that is. And there’s a raft of younger pupils too. “Attendance is up 30 per cent this year from 28 students to 40,” said Dyck. “So it’s really building.” The instructor’s concert is intended to showcase this fun approach to music. With Rosemary Thomson, director of the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, on piano, Suderman and Lupton on violin, as well as guest musicians Joel Stobbe and Dyck, the instructors will be playing around with the music. Dyck is planning a Nine Blind Mice rendition (up from three) on

Chesney keeps his mysterious personal life close to his chest KENNY CHESNEY: WELCOME TO THE FISHBOWL (COLUMBIA)
Last week, Kenny Chesney bumped the new Alan Jackson album from the top of the country charts with his new album Welcome To The Fishbowl, his 13th studio release. The album title reveals just how much Chesney likes to protect his private life and in my opinion explains why he spends so much of his time on his huge yacht sailing the Gulf Of Mexico and the Caribbean. When he is not on tour, his boat acts as his muse and helps Chesney stay away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. While songs about surf, sand and loafing are getting a bit too predictable from Chesney of late, he has addressed this with several songs in this new album that are greater in depth and philosophy. That starts with the title track, in which Chesney warns that we are all being over watched by many different factions from the government, GPS, to our simple computer network roaming. r Other songs of breadth tinclude Time Flies, Makes Me Wonder, and I’m A Small Town where tChesney’s songs are more interesting and open to wider interpretation. As usual Chesney has scored a big country hit singing a duet with Tim McGraw on Feel Like A Rock Star, while the closing tune is a live take of You And Tequila recorded at the Red Rocks Am-
SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell phitheatre where the huge audience takes over the song and sings it back to Chesney. As a songwriter, I think Kenny Chesney will one day be open to greater interpretation as happened to Cole Porter after he passed, but for today Welcome To The Fishbowl is yet another album in Chesney’s impressive catalogue. B
RUSSELL WATSON: ANTHEMS (SONY CLASSICAL) With Queen Elizabeth’s 60th anniversary on the throne and this summer’s upcoming summer Olympics, these are heady days for Britain. I was born in the same city as Queen Liz, the same year she was crowned. My father was a physician in London’s East End working at the VD Clinic in Whitechapel, home of the poor navies and the cockney if you were born within earshot of The Beau Bells. Anyway, six months later the big boat landed at Quebec and my father joined the Canadian Air Force for three years as a dermatologist to pay for the expensive emigration. But I digress. Russell Watson has released his new album An-
thems with the subtitle Music To Inspire A Nation where he uses his God-given and natural, untrained voice to sing songs closely associated with the U.K. There is, of course, a take of Elgar’s Land Of Hope And Glory with lyrics supplied by A.C. Benson as well as odder choices such as Queen’s We Are The Champions and a strange reading of Rudyard Kipling’s Nimrod—about becoming a ‘man.’ There is some traditional fare here with Danny Boy, Swing Low and of course God Save The Queen. The highlight for me is a posthumous duet with Dame Vera Lynn with The White Cliffs Of Dover which was the signature song for Brits during the Second World War, while the version of poet-mystic William Blake’s Jerusalem is a close second. The opening song by Vangelis and Jon Anderson of Yes is a reinterpretation of the hit Race To The End taken from the film Chariots Of Fire—a bio-pic from a couple of decades ago about faith and Britain’s participation in the Olympics from the
1920s. A solid brag bag that anglophiles will want to check out and listen for the hidden snippet of Greensleeves reportedly written by Henry VIII. B-
KYLIE MINOGUE: THE BEST OF (EMI) There is no shortage of Kylie Minogue Greatest Hits and Best Of collections. In fact, Minogue has way more of these types of albums, along with a plethora of dance re-mix collections, than she does actual studio albums. That is because she is a juggernaut hitmaker and has been ever since her first single 25 years ago with The Locomotion, a cover of the Little Eva, Carole King gem. The problem for Minogue is that she is very popular in her native Australia and her adopted home of Britain where she has had dozens of hits. But in North America, Minogue has only enjoyed a few hits but none were bigger than her smash of a couple of years ago with the aptly titled Can’t Get You Out Of My Head that became a worldwide success.

Lavender Day hosted by south Time to complain now about the heat Kelowna farm F The Okanagan Lavender & Herb Farm will host the 12th annual Lavender Discovery Day on Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The farm is located at 4380 Takla Rd. (at insection with Saucier Road) in South Kelowna. This year, the farm has organized a day to celebrate the quiet beauty of the Okanagan Valley. Join in a Hatha yoga introduction by the very talented Kate Stewart, Shiatsu with Sharon Purdy or a hand massage with Alisha Antisin—all in a natural farm setting. Also back by popular demand is musician, Tim Smith. Fair goers can experience an intimate, outdoor sensory wine tasting led by Quails’ Gate Estate Winery and enjoy herbal tea tastings from herbs
grown on the farm. Rachael Fleming, of the Okanagan Master Gardener’s Association, will be on hand to dispense practical advice to all of the gardening enthusiasts. You can weave a lavender wreath or wand and take a guided tour; history buffs will enjoy the farm’s new heritage museum. Children will love getting lost in the hedge maze, following the scavenger hunt and enjoy washing laundry with a hand pump and washboard. You can sample an array of culinary treats all inspired with lavender, including the farm’s famous lavender ice cream, at the outdoor Lavender Café. The Lavender Discovery Day admission is $5.50 adults, supervised children get in free.

inally—something bright and shiny in the sky that is reminiscent of summers in the Okanagan. For a born and raised Valley boy, I must admit to feeling a tad bit discombobulated about our recent propensity for rain. The only consolation (if it really matters) is that the same nasty, unpredictable weather patterns have been nailing most of the nation. I am happy the ‘lousy’ spring weather is finally over because now that summer is here we can finally complain about the ‘horrible’ heat. After all, complaining is what we ‘Valley folk’ do best. Wait for it. If you are a ‘newcomer’ (within the last five years or so) then it is important to understand that the ‘Kelowna way’ is to complain all the time about the weather. It is either “too cold, too hot, too wet, to dry, to windy, no breeze…” A true veteran Kelowna resident will also tell you that they would, “never live anywhere else.” Mark Kelowna residents down as spoiled rotten. Regardless, I digress. As a born and raised Okanaganite, I figure it is
HODGE PODGE
Charlie Hodge my duty to help lead the charge on providing helpful tourist tips and advice. I like to think of this as a sort of a ‘best of’ and ‘worst of’ list for visitors. So here it is—the places to hang in Kelowna. I welcome local readers (and/or visitors) to add your contributions to my list, which I will update next month. Email your suggestions to hodgepodge2@shaw.ca There are no rules except keep your submission brief and no promoting your mother, brother, girlfriend—unless truly merited. Categories are endless, but a few you could send me include:
The best thing about Kelowna, the worst thing about Kelowna, best breakfast, best soup, best waitress, favourite pub, favourite place with live music, favourite place to people watch, favourite spot (anywhere). Just for the record, here’s a taste of my list: The best thing about Kelowna is probably the stroll along the waterfront at The Delta Grand, a wander through Maud Roxby Bird Sanctuary, or walking along the Greenway. Either that or a quiet night in your backyard with the sun setting in a warm evening sky. The worst thing about Kelowna is the parking meters and ticket attendant’s downtown. The machines fail to take several coins. In the case of the human element, they are generally rude. The frustrating parking and ticket scenario continues to cripple downtown. Best soup in town— Grateful Fed, hands
down.
••• I joined hundreds of other residents Wednesday in bidding a fond farewell to a true Kelowna hero, Dr. Barry Urness. Pastor Ken Schroeder did a marvellous job in leading the moving memorial service at the Baptist Church in Kelowna, honouring ‘The Bear.’ I will miss my dear friend, however, his legacy lives on in so many parts of our community. There is simply no question that the Okanagan Sun football team would not exist today without the efforts of Urness. Thank you to his wife Betty for sharing such a wonderful man with the community. ••• Dr. Urness would be proud of another Okanagan hero, young Austin Glabus-MacLeod who was a part of the amazing 2012 Ride2Survive Cancer Fundraiser event earlier this month.
The Ride2Survive involved a gruelling Kelowna. to Delta (400 kilometres in one day) bike trek on Saturday, June 23. The ride consisted of 90 riders who collectively raised more than $400,000 in donations for cancer research. Every penny was donated to research with no funds toward administration or overhead fees. Austin, 14, participated in the Kelowna to Merritt leg of the ride and cycled 132 km uphill to an elevation of 1,744m (5,721ft) for some six hours with the group! Awesome work. Austin is the youngest rider in the event’s eightyear history to have participated and is hoping to be able to do the full ride to Delta next year.

▼ SUMMER VACATION
Take the heat off summer spending For most people, summer vacation is an annual fixture on the calendar. It’s that carrot dangling after a stressful winter and spring, and that muchneeded break to help recharge, refresh and re-energize. However, the beneficial effects of a summer break may be short lived if there are holiday bills waiting at home. Saving for a splurge like a summer vacation is like saving for anything
else, it requires a plan, a budget and discipline, says Valley First’s Connie-gay Boyce. Following a few simple but effective tips can help keep the post-holiday blues at bay. “If a summer vacation is something you really want, you need to plan for it,” said Boyce. “Even though there are a growing number of last minute deals, planning is still necessary. The longer you plan the more
time you give yourself to build up a healthy holiday budget.” One of the quickest ways to kick start vacation fund is to start saving early by putting a small amount aside regularly. While it will take longer to add up, Boyce advises the smaller amount will make less impact on your everyday life and will give you the shortterm satisfaction of seeing your savings grow.

the dollars and cents you need to save, Boyce says it’s wise to over-estimate rather than underestimate your expenses. “Map out where you want to go, how long you want to go for and what you want to do,” said Boyce. “From there you can get a pretty good idea of how much it will cost. “Add 20 per cent to that figure and you are probably getting close to the real bottom line and determining if your dream vacation is something you can realistically afford.” Once you calculate your realistic travel costs, it’s time to connect the dots with a budget. While similar to a household budget, a vacation budget is less about controlling expenses and more about saving. “It helps to think of a vacation is a reward,” said Boyce. “You may toil hard at work all year and feel entitled to some time off, but you should also work hard at sticking to a budget, especially if you’re planning a getaway. Planning, budgeting and discipline will also help people avoid financing their travels with high-interest credit cards or dipping into their longterm savings accounts.

GIBBS CAY on Grand Turk island. This island is part of the Turks and Caicos, a trendy Caribbean vacation spot 500 miles southeast of Miami, Florida.
Grand Turk is ready for you to dive right in Ellen Creager CONTRIBUTOR
GRAND TURK—There’s not much here on this island in the Turks and Caicos except the dazzle and the deep blue sea. The dazzle: Governor’s Beach, a strip of white that edges the island like the powdered sugar rim of a cannoli. The sea: It’s actually not deep blue. It’s as
turquoise as a swimming pool. It’s as vivid as a photo with jazzed colour. The ocean here is shallow—right up until it plunges 7,000 feet straight down a quarter mile offshore at the Grand Turk Wall. This island is part of the Turks and Caicos, a trendy Caribbean vacation spot 500 miles southeast of Miami. The tiny British territory has eight major islands and dozens of uninhabited keys, a glistening broken necklace in the Atlantic.
Grand Turk is mainly visited for two reasons—diving and cruise ships. In 2006, Carnival built a big cruise ship dock and terminal here. That same year Grand Turk snagged nonstop air service from Ft. Lauderdale on Spirit Airlines. It had celebrity visitors like Steven Spielberg and Serena Williams. It had big plans. Then, in September 2008, Hurricane Ike pummeled a lot of the island’s hopes and dreams. About 80 percent of the flat little limestone is-
land was damaged. Now, life is slower. The nonstop flights ceased. The house Spielberg reportedly owns is for sale. The condo Williams supposedly was building is just a shell. Though the cruise ship crowds still arrive on Grand Turk—655,000 of them last year—they

And once the cruise passengers depart, it’s left to the locals and the divers. Cockburn Town, the capital city of the Turks and Caicos, is really a village. A small collection of attractive but weathered pastel 18th- and 19th-century colonial buildings, it is a shabby-chic version of Bermuda. There’s an unfinished shopping center on the middle of the block. The Victoria Public Library is charming, but its sign needs help: “VICTORI PUBL LI R R.” About a mile down the road is a collection of old military buildings that date from the days the U.S. Air Force used Grand Turk as a tracking station for early
space travel. There’s a memorial to astronaut John Glenn, whose 1962 first round-the-globe space flight splashed down just off the coast of Grand Turk. The British governor of the Turks and Caicos, Damian Roderic Todd, lives in a house along this stretch, and he is not a popular man. After a big government corruption scandal in 2009, the British took control of the islands. To help balance the budget, Todd is planning to impose a goods tax, the tax haven’s first. On top of that, Grand Turk has had constant water problems this spring due to an inadequate water plant.

MORE THAN half a million cruise ship passengers arrived in Grand Turk in 2011. Grand Turk, one of the Turks and Caicos islands, is mainly visited for two reasons diving and cruise ships. Trouble in paradise? Well, maybe. Still, the life expectancy here is nearly 80, higher than in the United States. And I can see why. Early in the morning in Cockburn Town, men sit on plastic chairs under spreading trees, chatting about the day’s news. Women run tiny gift shops, selling homemade wood carvings, bead necklaces and clothing. The sun shines. They take out their wares. It starts raining. They hurry to put everything away. The sun comes back out. They display everything again. They sit. If you are a diver, the main thing to know is that Grand Turk is near the third largest barrier reef system in the world, with its amazing drop-off and excellent diving. A 10-minute boat ride, and you’re amid sea turtles, sponges, coral and grouper. Novices can start with something a lot simpler—snorkeling and stingrays on Gibb s Cay, an uninhabited island a few minutes offshore. The stingrays come when they hear the boat motors. As people stand
in waist-high water, the stingrays glide up silently, letting their humans hold their velvety bodies. The motors attract barracudas, too, and I see them—long ones—swimming near the people petting the stingrays. The memorable quality of Grand Turk? The light. When the sun is out, it’s like being on a very clear turquoise dot. When it rains—and yes, it does rain in Grand Turk—the light dims, but colours seem more vivid. It smells good here. It’s clear. By late morning, I stroll the empty beach in town, watching fishermen gather their wooden boats to shore. Giant conch, old ones, puckered with tiny holes in the shells, lay partially buried on the beach with its fluffy sand. Far out, small powerboats—divers, probably, coming in from their mysterious adventures at the Wall— speed ahead of gathering storm clouds, headed for shore. If you wanted to vanish where nobody could find you, you might try Grand Turk.
Getting there: Cruise ship. That’s the easiest way. Carnivalowned ships stop there. To fly to Grand Turk, try American Airlines from Miami or Jet Blue from New York (about $450 round-trip) to Providenciales. Then take a 40-minute puddle-jumper on Air Turks & Caicos to Grand Turk (about $180 round-trip). Sightseeing: From a cruise ship, take a taxi for $5 to town or negotiate with a taxi driver for an island tour for about $60. Do not miss out on the water-related activities. If you are a good swimmer, take advantage of the snorkeling or scuba diving. Beginners can try the stingray adventure offered through the cruise ship. If you are staying on the island, get your resort to help with diving, snorkeling or other activities. The island is so small that it’s easy to get around. Lodging: Divers, try the Bohio Dive Resort on the beach. Very nice off-season packages include seven nights’ lodging, dives, breakfast and lunch and round-trip flights from Providenciales to Grand Turk: $1,525 for a diver and $1,100 for a non-diver (www.bohioresort.com/ stay-all-inclusive-packages.html). Osprey Beach Hotel is in Cockburn Town on the beach. Pretty pool/dining area, and good off-season rates—a beachfront king room is $165 a night (www.ospreybeachhotel. com).

Time for early summer cleanup in the perennial garden W ith the unusually wet spring, plants have flourished and bloomed abundantly. Now it looks like we’re in for a sudden blast of hot, summer weather. The abrupt change will be hard on plants and flowers will fade quickly. Now is the time I like to do a midseason, major garden clean-up. Then there will just be some dead-heading and weeding a few times until fall clean-up after frost. Here are some tips on early summer care for your perennials. If your soil is wet, and anything other than sand, try to minimize stepping on it to avoid compaction. Early spring blooming evergreen plants such as phlox, aubretia (rock cress), alyssum, and iberis
(perennial candytuft) can be cut back by up to one half to encourage fresh new compact growth. Cutting them later removes next year’s flower buds. All compact early bloomers such as armeria (thrift) and dianthus ‘Tiny Rubies’ can have the dead flowers sheared off down to the foliage. Larger plants whose foliage becomes messy after bloom, such as oriental poppies and geranium ‘Johnson’s blue,’ can be cut back to the new growth. Deadhead German iris. These tough, droughttolerant plants can be divided almost anytime. After dividing, cut back foliage to one half and leave the top of the rhizome exposed to the air.
Deadhead peonies down into the foliage. Deadhead anything that tends to self-seed as soon as flowers finish— e.g. blue fescue grass and cerastium (snow-in-summer). To encourage reblooming, keep dead flowers cut off repeat bloomers such as achillea (yarrow), salvia, rudbeckia, echinacea, coreopsis, and gaillardia. My two favourite tools for dead-heading are long-bladed shears, for when the whole plant is being cut back, and grape pruners. These are small shears that fit my hand well. They act like scissors for cutting individual stems but have a spring to open the blades, saving half the hand work. Years ago my husband

Guns stolen from locker
A Kelowna man’s collection of nine handguns was stolen from his gun locker last Friday night. On June 30 at 7:10 a.m., the Kelowna RCMP received a report of a break and enter to a residence on the 2300 block of Stillingfleet Road. Police say that sometime overnight, someone entered the garage through a small opening under the overhead door and pried open the gun safe located there. Inside the safe was a collection of various handguns, all registered to the homeowner. In all, nine firearms were stolen along with a Samsung cellular phone. No suspects have yet been identified. Anyone with any information regarding this crime is asked to call Kelowna RCMP at 250-7623300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

The Boxster is what Dr. Porsche intended Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

ECONOMICAL AFFORDABLE
RELIABLE
When Porsche introduced the Boxster in 1996, it was the “must have” car that turned the company around. Quickly becoming the largest volume selling Porsche until the Cayenne came along in 2003, it appealed to a much larger audience and reawakened interest in the brand. Very much in the style and spirit of the 1950s1960s racing two seaters such as the 550 and RSK, the Boxster was mid-engined, light compared to the 911, exceptionally nimble and, most of all, it looked marvellous
matched by the sonorous sound of the side-mounted air intakes at full bore. For 2013 the Boxster has been changed in every way, but Porsche engineers and designers did not take their eyes off the prize. The “new” Boxster, showcased recently in Birmingham, Alabama, has shorter front and rear overhangs, significantly forward-shifted windshield, a flatter silhouette and is generally more aggressive in its stance aided by huge new front air intakes. The electric top now goes up and down in nine
CONTRIBUTED
WITH NEARLY EVERY FACET redesigned or enhanced, the 2013 Porsche Boxster (S model shown) is lower, more aggressive looking, faster and better on fuel consumption. FYI, the Lady of the Lake is one of several outdoor sculptures and works of art on the grounds of the Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama where the press preview of the Boxster was held.

seconds. The interior design offers the driver and passenger more space while the redesigned centre console looks like that of the Panamera. As usual, there are seemingly countless options making it possible for an owner to fit out his/ her Boxster to taste and be fairly certain not to see another one exactly like it. There are two models, the Boxster starting at $56,500 and the Boxster S starting at $69,500 featuring a “Boxer” or flat sixcylinder, quadcam engine with variable valve timing and direct fuel injection. The 2.7-litre engine in the Boxster is technically based on the 3.4-litre unit found in the Boxster S. The 2.7-litre produces 265 hp (206 lb/ft of torque), 10 more than the previous model while the 3.4-litre is up five hp at 315 hp (266 lb/ft). Both models have a six-speed gearbox manual as standard, with the seven-speed dualclutch Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) available as an option. With the PDK, the Boxster goes from 0-100 km/h in 5.7 seconds while the Boxster S takes 5.0 seconds. Top speed in the Boxster is 164 mph and 173 mph for the Boxster S. According to Porsche, both achieve their best fuel consumption and acceleration performance with the PDK. Energuide numbers for the Boxster are 10.1/6.7/8.6L/100 km city/highway/combined for the manual and 9.4/6.2/7.6L/100 km for the PDK. Helping decrease fuel consumption is a start/stop function. If you have the PDK, mileage is further increased by “coasting,” a technology borrowed from the new 911 that draws power from the engine only when needed. Lift off the gas and the Boxster rolls along without using engine power with the engine idling and with low fuel consumption to match. But people don’t buy a Boxster for fuel economy. They buy it for its performance. Now standard on the Boxster is a sport button which allows the driver to choose between a sporty setup and a comfortable setup optimized for fuel economy. In sport mode, the electronic engine management system
controls the engine more aggressively. This makes the engine dynamics even more direct. On vehicles with PDK, upshifts occur later and downshifts earlier in automatic mode. The start/stop function and the coasting function are deactivated as well.

One example is the optional Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) with a mechanical rear limited slip differential. Getting himself purposely sideways in the middle of a high-speed corner, Murray simply corrected with the steering wheel and let the system bring the rear around without losing a beat. At the end of those laps my neck was aching from all the high-g corners but, amazingly, there was never a squeal from the tires and, more amazingly, I could hear what he

was saying even though I had a full helmet on. Out on the back roads east of Birmingham, the Boxster S I was driving with Sport Chrono (you must have this no matter what Porsche you buy) takes a nice car and turns it into a racer you can drive on the street. With the Sports Plus button on, everything gets sharper. The exhaust note is raspier and the steering feels tighter thanks to the electric system that also senses speed and wheel revolutions. The revised instrument panel makes it easy to see the numbers on the tach and speedo in full sunlight, a good thing in Alabama where the police are speed vigilant. With the settings on “normal” the Boxster was, well, normal with my codriver and I talking without having to raise voices. While my love of 911s is well known, the Boxster is probably more in the spirit of the principles Porsche was founded upon. With the 911 becoming more of a premium luxury car with every new model, if you want the essence of Porsche, the 2013 Boxster is what it’s all about.

Honda Ridgeline Sport: Dressed to impress in black Rob Beintema CONTRIBUTOR
Few vehicles polarize opinions the way pickups do. Fans, from farmers to construction workers, urban cowboys and trucker-wannabes, tend to live and die by their pickups. As for the rest of us, not so much. So it’s interesting that Honda managed to both attract and alienate members from both sides of that spectrum when they introduced the innovative, non-traditional design that was the Honda Ridgeline. Honda approached this design challenge with recreational truckers in mind, owners more interested in a comfortable ride, amenable cargo inrnovations and family utility, rather than traditionalist attitudes, heavy-duty towing numbers and hardcore payload capabilities. What Honda came up with was the one-size, one-model, four-door, five-passenger pickup that debuted at the 2005 NAIAS in Detroit. It was built on a fully integrated closed-box frame combined with unibody construction. The architecture is unique, without the usual gap between cab and cargo box and with the trademark flying buttress C pillars that slope back to morph

THE 2012 HONDA RIDGELINE SPORT, a new trim level added to the Ridgeline lineup in blacked-out style, adding exclusive black 18-inch aluminum alloy wheels, a black honeycomb grille with black surround, leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, and black headlight and brake light housings. into the pickup box sides. The exterior design style didn’t ring everyone’s bell. More than a few pickup traditionalists have referred to it as an “ugly truckling” but, actually, with its combined accent on passenger comfort and cargo ability, the Ridgeline is more comparable to SUT models like the Ford Sport Trac, the Chevrolet Avalanche and Cadillac Escalade EXT. And as for truck-like practicality, the Ridgeline
holds its own. A five-foot composite cargo bed with eight tie-down hooks and four cargo lights may seem smallish but it provides a payload rating of almost 500 kg (1,100 pounds). Honda had some of its own dirt bikes and ATVs in mind as cargo when they designed the box, measuring 1257 mm (49.5 inches) wide between the wheel wells, 526 mm (20.7 inches) deep and 1,524 mm (60 inches) long or 2,007 mm
(79 inches) with the loadsupporting tailgate down. Under the cargo floor is the Ridgeline’s most innovative feature—an InBed Trunk. Yes, this pickup truck has a trunk. That tub-shaped waterproof trunk, still unique in the pickup segment, comes with drainage plugs, available storage accessories and hides the spare tire and 240.7-litre (8.5 cu ft) of lockable storage. It can be used for just about anything—tool storage, bait

box, even as an impromptu beer cooler filled with ice. One wag even took a picture of his kids taking a bubble bath in it. To put the trunk within reach, Honda had to come up with another innovation—a dual-action tailgate that can swing open to the side as well as flop down traditionally. Moving up to the other end of the truck and
under the hood, Ridgeline’s 3.5-litre VTEC V6 engine produces 250 hp at 5700 rpm and 247 lb/ft of torque at 4300 rpm. Power is translated through a five-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission and put to the pavement through a Variable Torque Management four-wheel drive system (VTM-4) that normally runs in front-wheeldrive. Which was another rallying point for naysayers. Honda doesn’t buy the argument that rear-wheeldrive is needed for recreational towing demands. The VTM-4 system distributes torque to all four wheels as needed, in rain, snow, ice, sand and mud, or for towing performance. A VTM-4 lock button located on the instrument panel also allows the driver to temporarily hold engagement of both rear wheels to aid traction while in gears “1” and “2” at speeds of up to 29 km/h. Handy at the boat launch or in other situations. Along with the halfton payload rating, the Ridgeline has a maximum towing rating of 2,268 kg (5,000 lb). Honda takes the Ridgeline’s towing abil-

HOT NEW PROPERTY Cathy Kennedy Cathy Kennedy moved from the prairies with her family to the beautiful Okanagan seven years ago. They are proud and happy to call West Kelowna home. Cathy followed the entrepreneurial spirit that is synonymous with the Okanagan and started her own business in the construction industry. She was very fortunate to have many great builders as her customers, but Cathy realized she wanted to pursue the other side of real estate, working with the home buyers and sellers. She is excited to offer her clients her focus on customer service, attention to detail and her genuine interest in helping people. In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family, golfing, and Bikram yoga. Cathy looks forward to helping people discover their new home in this beautiful paradise!

W SIMPLE LIVING
Hermit-like existence offers both challenges and benefits Peace from B20 In April 1995, things were not going well for
Brown. Her relationship with a guy had ended badly, she owed the IRS and creditors money and,
while she and her mother were visiting relatives in Winfield, Kan., Brown realized she had no plan
for a job. She felt overcome with despair. “My mom said, ‘Go to Matfield Green and see
M OV E

NO W
what Wes Jackson is doing at the Land Institute,’” Brown said. Jackson, an early proponent of sustainable agricultural practices, had expanded his Salinabased institute and bought properties in nearby Matfield Green. Brown’s mother dropped her off, and she stayed in a communal housing unit owned by the institute. “I bopped around and met a lot of locals, but they never had much for me to do,” Brown said. The following year Brown met a man at a party and Matfield Green came up. The man asked if Brown knew Jane Koger, a rancher who owned land outside the town. “He said, ‘I helped a guy build a cabin there,’” Brown said. And the guy who built “the hermitage,” as it was called by locals, had moved away to get married. Today, that cabin looks different now than the day Brown moved in. She laments what she calls the Sisyphean nature of her rebuilding efforts. In Greek mythology, Sisyphus was a cruel king condemned to roll a heavy stone forever up a hill in Hades only to have it roll down each time he neared the top. “I thought there would
be all this time to take walks and write poetry, and instead you are constantly re-doing things on the cabin itself,” she said. “You try something and it doesn’t work, and you try something else and it doesn’t work, and pretty soon you’re on Plan J,” she said. “Experience teaches, but the tuition is high.” There is a real creature called a pack rat, or Eastern wood rat, and the Kansas prairie is apparently full of them. They steal Brown’s food and underwear and chew up her books. The first year her terriers, excellent ratters, killed five or six dozen of them. They were getting in through the original floor, which was plywood sheets on 2-by-10s. Brown tore up the plywood and dragged 676 buckets of gravel up out of the creek to fill the space between the joists. Then she put a straw bale mixture of heavy clay soil, manure, wheat flour paste, water and sand down over the rock. Rats still get in but not as many. The cows are no better. Brown calls them “hooved rodents.” She has had to rebuild the fence five times after they’ve ransacked it. In response to the constant incursions, Brown has moved the garden
beds, the toilet, the compost bins, everything in closer and closer to the cabin, like a covered wagon circle. “At first I was bedazzled by all the room, and I spread everything out. Now it’s a process of constant contracting,” she said. Grasshoppers are a lesser pain, devouring her garden and munching stripes down T-shirts hanging on the clothesline. Another adversary is the wind. It blows relentlessly, like a fourthdimensional feature in the landscape. For Brown, the ecstasy of her simple life far outweighs the agony. And the things some people would find the hardest to give up, she doesn’t even miss. “I don’t understand why people consider indoor plumbing such a great invention,” she said. “I see the most amazing things going to the bathroom outside. I saw a bald eagle 15 feet over my head one time.” She prefers, not endures, living without electricity. She sleeps more when there’s no artificial light to chase the dark away and feels like she’s living in the natural rhythm of day and night, looking forward to sight of the sun setting and the moon rising.

Below is a quiz designed to test your own mortgage sense. No cheating—answer the questions first, then doublecheck the answers if necessary against your financial records. 1) What is your mortgage balance? 2) How many years is it amortized over? 3) When does it mature? 4) What is the interest rate? 5) How does your lender calculate the penalty if you want to refinance or payout early? 6) Is it registered as a standard mortgage or a collateral charge (running account)? 7) At renewal, do you believe your lender is giving you the Best rate and terms? Did you check? 8) What is the maximum amortization allowed as of July 9? 9) If your mortgage is a home equity line of credit, is the interest compounded monthly or semi- annually? 10) By approximately how many years is your amortization reduced by making accelerated bi-weekly payments
as opposed to monthly? Analyzing the test results: 10/10: Congratulations: You are mortgage savvy and likely utilize a senior mortgage broker to fine tune your mortgage and credit needs with your future plans. 8-9: Almost there: Brownie points for only missing two questions. Just a little homework is needed. 6-7: Oh oh!: You may be paying more interest or fees than you should be. Perhaps it’s time for a mortgage checkup. The sooner, the better. Under 6: You might be giving away too much of your hard-earned money to the bank when that may not be necessary.

SHOWCASE W SIMPLE LIVING
Finding peace without electricity, indoor plumbing Cindy Hoedel CONTRIBUTOR
In late December 1999, as people fretted about what might happen if computers went haywire when they switched over to 2000, Carole Brown loaded her possessions into two station wagons and a pickup and caravanned with her parents and brother to her new home. It wasn’t just any new home, but a 12-by-17-foot cabin with no running water or electricity in a desolate corner of Kansas, a place called Flint Hills. Brown, a classically trained bassist two days shy of turning 40, had no car and no cellphone—only a desire to remove herself from a civilization she felt out of sync with and a longing to steep herself in the beauty and comfort of nature. The rancher who owns the land the cabin sits on figured she’d last six months, tops. Her friends gave her three months. Twelve years later, she’s still there. Before daybreak on a Tuesday morning in late May, a familiar CLICK-CLICKCLICK-CLICK-CLICK awakens Brown. It’s the sounds of Leopard frogs. Brown opens her eyes and shifts under the weight of her two slumbering rat terriers, causing the hammock to sway. She watches as the inky blackness overhead melts into a wash of deep violet overlaid with a lacework of hackberry branches. The first sunrays bring up a dewy sweetness in the air, and the frog chorus is replaced by the calls of Dickcissels, bluebirds and great crested fly-
catchers. When Piglet and Pooh, the terriers, wake, Brown swings her legs over the side of the hammock and plants her bare feet on the cool hard dirt. Her pajama top flaps against her waist in the wind. She walks over behind the compost bin to the commode: a five-gallon plastic bucket topped with a plastic seat the creek brought her one day. Brown gathers her bedding and hangs it over a tree-limb fence. She steps across the stone threshold into the cabin and washes her face in a metal pan of water, then changes into jeans and a T-shirt. The first thing that strikes you when you meet Brown is her un-hermitlike appearance. She has a petite frame, the upright carriage of a dancer and hip-length blond hair tied back in a ponytail. Her jeans are patched in several spots but clean. The seams of the repairs are neat and straight. She wears no makeup, but her honey-brown eyes, set off by thick brows, pull you in with their beauty and intensity. With a match, she lights the stove and places a pan of water on to boil for tea. The 200-square-foot cabin is small but abundantly stocked. Every wall is covered with open shelving and recessed cupboards that house hundreds of books, dozens of cassette tapes, a battery-powered tape player, clothing and scores of glass Mason jars containing beans, rice, spices and dried fruit. Hooks on the rafters hold a battery of cast iron skillets and saucepans that would have done Julia Child proud. A pair of snowshoes, skates
and a hockey stick are also suspended aloft. “I like to play hockey with the dogs when the creek freezes,” Brown explains. As if on cue, the dogs enter the cabin together and run straight to the “kitchen” corner and begin yapping at the base cabinet. “So much for peace and tranquility in the morning,” Brown says, laughing. Brown plants pole beans around volunteer sunflowers, hoping the bean vines will climb up the stalks. Done with planting, she

She has never tried this before and hopes it works so she won’t have to cook indoors as much in summer. Brown returns to the cabin to pull on a pair of rubber boots and then wades into the creek to half-fill three 5-gallon buckets with water. She hauls
the buckets back up and places them in the sun to heat the water for washing her hair and doing laundry later. By midday, the ground, already showing cracks, is heating up, and the south wind is blasting harder than usual. The tall prairie grasses writhe in van Gogh swirls. The roar is disorienting, and dust, possibly from neighbouring Oklahoma, cakes Brown’s skin. The past couple of years
Brown has been spending about five months a year, usually November through March, at her parents’ home in Westwood Hills, Kan. It’s because she wants to spend more time with her parents as they get older and play music more—not because the bitter prairie winters are too hard on her 52-year-old bones. “I like January and February at the cabin very much. I remember reading ‘Macbeth’ during a stretch of bad
weather. I would read one act each night by oil lamp with the wind howling outside. I would go outside in the blue light of the moon and come into the orange light of the candles and the oil lamp and cook Indian curries on my wood stove and think, ‘Ahhhhhhhh. This is great.’” Her stays in Kansas City are in winter because that is when she can get the most music gigs. She has discovered her simple life costs more than she had thought it would. Brown pays no rent or utilities and makes most of her clothes or gets them very cheaply second-hand, but constantly repairing and replacing her bicycle wheels and tires is a big expense—a set of spokes and a rim cost $72 and might last only a year. Bass strings are expensive, too. And perhaps the biggest and most frustrating money pit is food. Brown has not been able to grow as much as she hoped in the face of the same obstacles that vexed the first European settlers who tried to farm this land—thin and rocky soil, frequent droughts and hordes of grasshoppers that feast on young seedlings. So most of her food has to be purchased. Brown’s desire to live simply, as she puts it, has nothing to do with survivalist fears or religious beliefs. It is a response to what she didn’t enjoy about living in the modern energy- and technologydependent world. “People make it sound like I’m so courageous. No. Nothing else was working. This works the best for me,” she said. See Peace B18
