o many people, tossing a frisbee around conjures up thoughts of a relaxing hobby to be enjoyed at the beach, or with a picnic at your local park. But over the decades, the art of throwing and catching a flying disc has evolved into much more than simply a casual kid’s game. The sport of Ultimate is rapidly gaining popularity as millions of people are now playing the game in a competitive and structured environment. In today’s Capital News, Warren Henderson looks at the growth and allure of Ultimate, both in Kelowna and around the world. See story A3

Ultimate takes flight
Basic rules of the game

t first glance, Ashlee Davison admits she didn’t think much of the sport of Ultimate. With a background in competitive soccer, the concept of chasing a plastic flying disc around a playing field wasn’t exactly her definition of high-performance athletics. “The first time I saw (Ultimate) it was in Toronto in 2006 when I watched the nationals and at first, I actually thought it was kind of lame,” said Davison, who played five seasons of universitylevel soccer. “Of course, I came from soccer, and I thought soccer was more physical, more technical and required more skill. Over the years, I’ve changed my mind about that. Ultimate is a great sport in its own right in so many ways.” After playing Ultimate—commonly known as Ultimate Frisbee—for the first time in 2008, it wasn’t long before Davison was hooked. And in the four years since, the 28-year-old Kelowna resident has evolved into one of Canada’s elite women Ultimate players. Davison recently returned from the World Ultimate and Guts Championships in Japan where
she helped the Canadian women’s squad earn the bronze medal. “It was an amazing experience and a lot fun,” said Davison, who is also an assistant coach with the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s soccer team in Kelowna. “There were 25 countries there, so it tells you how popular Ultimate has become.” Ultimate has been described by some as a combination of football, basketball, soccer and netball, but is unquestionably a sport with characteristics all its own. Ultimate celebrates not only team play and athletic prowess, but emphasizes the game’s overriding philosophy of fair play and sportsmanship. As such, the sport’s international motto is: The Spirit of the Game. For Davison, the blend of competition, athletic skill and camaraderie make Ultimate a sport like no other. “It really grew on me in a lot of ways, but as much as anything it was the people,” she said. “It’s so much fun to be around people who, like you, all choose to be there. “Then when the game begins, it’s competitive and the athleticism can be pretty amazing. You’re playing with high-level athletes, battling against people who are fit and fast and can jump high.” The standard and most widely played version of
THE FIELD AND PLAYERS:
SCORING: Each time the offense completes a pass in the defense’s end zone, the offense scores a point. Play is initiated after each score. The first team to reach a specific point total, usually 15, is the winner.
MOVEMENT OF THE DISC: The disc may be advanced in any direction by completing a pass to a teammate. Players may not run with the disc. The person with the disc has 10 seconds to throw the disc.
NON-CONTACT: No physical contact is allowed between players. Picks and screens are also prohibited. WARREN HENDERSON/CAPITAL NEWS
KELOWNA ULTIMATE Players Society tournament director Taz Lamvohee (left) and national team player Ashlee Davison are hoping to grow the sport of Ultimate in the Okanagan. Ultimate typically features seven players per side on a pitch 110 yards long and 40 yards wide. The object is to advance the disc downfield by passing (handlers) and catching (cutters), with a point being awarded each time a player successfully receives the disc in the
end zone. Players must advance the disc by passing, as no running with the disc in hand is permitted. In keeping with the theme of fair play, there are no referees as disputes are expected to be settled by the players themselves. The sport first took
hold on the east coast of the U.S. in the early 1970s, and was mostly a recreational activity played on college and university campuses. In the four decades since, Ultimate has grown in leaps and bounds with more than five million Americans playing
the game in various formats—standard, indoor, beach and street among them. Thousands play the standard version of Ultimate on North American college campuses where
SELF-OFFICIATING: Players are responsible for their own foul and line calls. Players resolve their own disputes.
SPIRIT OF THE GAME: Ultimate stresses sportsmanship and fair play. Competitive play is encouraged, but never at the expense of respect between players, adherence to the rules, and the basic joy of play.

CLOSE-UP Ultimate from A3
New sport gaining credibility
competitive league play, tournaments and championships are staged on a regular basis. In Canada, there are currently more than 30,000 registered players with the majority based
in major centres such as Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. The sport has also taken root in smaller centres such as Kelowna, where about 200 players compete in both recreational and competitive leagues in the spring and
summer. Earlier this year, the Kelowna Ultimate Players Society, established in 1992, played host to a tournament featuring 34 teams from no fewer than 12 cities including Vancouver, Victoria, Nanaimo, Saskatoon, Winni-

peg and Edmonton. With more than 500 players attending, it was one of the largest Ultimate tournaments held in Western Canada. “The sport is growing rapidly,” said Tez Lamvohee, the tournament director for KUPS. “It’s not just a hobby anymore, there are more and more people who want to play it as a sport. “Of course, we’d like to see more people playing in Kelowna,” added Lamvohee, “but we think that will come as people learn more about it.” While the local numbers are still comparatively small, Kelowna has carved out its own niche on the Ultimate landscape, both provincially and nationally. Kelowna will send two teams, the Sofa Kings (men) and BushFire (women), to the Canadian Ultimate Championships next month in Victoria.
In addition, Kelowna’s Davison and Bev Porter, and Vernon’s Andy Collins have all helped put the Okanagan on the Ultimate map, as the three travelled to Japan earlier this month for the World Ultimate and Guts Championships as members of the Team Canada contingent. Still, even with its increasing popularity and scope, Ultimate has its detractors and continues to fight for credibility alongside older, more established sports like soccer and football. With Sport Canada granting official recognition to Ultimate Canada this year, Lamvohee said progress is being made. “The stigma of this being a game just for hippies, that attitude is changing,” Lamvohee said. “Even in the five years I’ve been playing, it has a much higher profile as a legitimate com-

petitive sport. College leagues in the U.S. are huge, and they get coverage from CBS Sports. Video companies are getting involved, doing live streams. It’s being accepted on a wider scale than ever before.” And the sport took another credible step forward south of the border this year with the establishment of a competitive semi-professional league—the American Ultimate Disc League. While Lamvohee and Davison have far more modest plans for Ultimate in Kelowna, growing the sport in the valley remains their mandate, both at the adult and junior levels. And if anyone needed any extra incentive to give the sport a try, Lamvohee said the aerodynamics of a flying disc might just be reason enough. “One of the great things about a frisbee is watching it fly through the air, you can have it floating 30 or 40 yards in front of you and it looks like you have no chance of catching up to it. Then suddenly it catches a breath of wind or a small draft, and sits up just for a moment, just enough time for you to stretch out and make the catch. Those are the all-star moments.” For more information on Ultimate or get to involved in Kelowna, visit kelownaultimate.com, or visit the Kelowna Ultimate Facebook page.

Troubled cop given acquittal WFN, West Kelowna Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The Kelowna Mountie, whose name became synonymous with police brutality after he was filmed kicking a prone suspect in the head, was acquitted of the first of two assault charges levied against him. Provincial court judge Mark Takahashi acquitted Const. Geoffrey Mantler of assault Thursday, saying he was “in the awkward position of being certain Mantler caused the

injury� to Manjeet Singh Bhatti, but evidence presented in the trial didn’t meet the standard set for a conviction. Takahashi explained Bhatti’s “vague and unsure� testimony and Mantler’s partner Const. Rick Goodwin’s contradictory recollections were the reason for the acquittal. Bhatti, 36, claimed he was victim of a surprise attack from Const. Mantler just after 1 a.m., Aug. 30, 2010. The Prince George resident testified he was abandoning a crack deal in an alleyway for fear of his own safety, when he came upon Mantler and his partner. Pedalling away on the bike he was riding, Bhatti said he passed a car in the dark and heard someone yell; “Hey, stop.� He testified that he didn’t want to stop while he was evading a potential robbery, and replied, “No, I’m driving to the store.� He got to the highway, and realized it was the police so he stopped in the middle lane, dropped his bike to the ground between his legs and lifted his arms into the air. The police car came up behind him, against the flow of traffic, and Goodwin exited to take Bhatti into custody. Bhatti, who is five-
foot-11 and at that time weighed under 120 lbs, was then brought to the police cruiser and cuffed while Goodwin went to retrieve the bike from the road. He testified he then heard Mantler enter the scene. “From the back of the car, he was moving fast‌ running. I turned my head to the right and I was hit with something‌a fist or an elbow,â€? said Bhatti. The hit was hard enough to shatter his glasses, and knock him to the ground. Blood, he testified, was running down his nose and onto the ground. He claims the knock caused his eye to swell shut for the following four weeks, causing headaches and impacting his vision. Takahashi pointed out that there were a number of issues with that account of the night’s events— not the least of which being that it was unlikely that Bhatti was complying with police direction, when they asked him to stop. It’s more likely, he said, that Bhatti, who was “tweakingâ€? from a previous crack-high, was trying to flee, and possibly dump drugs he’d already attained. Bhatti also later changed his testimony on what direction the car
came. And then there was the matter of the blood. He said he was dripping with it, but photos from the next day showed contradictory evidence. “Inconsistencies and confusion compromise the reliability of the testimony,� said Takahashi. That became especially problematic once Goodwin took the stand, offering further confusion. Takahashi said while it would be “naive� to think that Goodwin wouldn’t be swayed by his affiliation with the Mounties, he was disappointed that someone who was trained as an observer and professional witness would have such a spotty recollection of a significant event. Goodwin, he pointed out, said he wasn’t sure if he caused Bhatti the injury when he pushed him against the car during the course of the arrest, casting doubt on Bhatti’s recollection. Bhatti made the complaint the day after their encounter, although it didn’t become a criminal matter until Mantler made national headlines for allegedly booting Kelowna resident Buddy Tavares in the head while he lay prone on the ground. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But judges Evelyn Alemanni and Jim Baird have the experience and knowledge to make an educated observation of what beauty is, as well. Alemanni and Baird arrived in West Kelowna on July 24 to tour the area as part of the Communities in Bloom competition. The program is geared at giving communities a sense of pride and accomplishment, while also giving advice on areas that could use improvement. “We look at towns of the same population category across the country. We basically look at three areas: Horticulture, environment and heritage. Then we look at community involvement: Municipal, commercial and residential,� said Alemanni. West Kelowna was the first stop on Alemanni and Baird’s four-city tour. Next up is Mission, BC, then Fort Erie, ON., and finally Conception Bay South, NL. Alemanni was in West Kelowna five years ago and said that she has seen “amazing changes� since then. “The highways are better, there is more shopping, there are fewer billboards, it’s very neat and clean, the roads are beautiful, there is almost no litter and there is almost no graffiti. “Being a young town, West Kelowna has come such a long way.� Cities involved in the Communities in Bloom competition are given a bloom rating, with a top score being five blooms. Over the past eight years, the district and WFN have maintained a five bloom rating every time. Annette Beaudreau, district recreation and culture supervisor, admitted that anything less than five blooms would be a disappointment. “We don’t go into every year expecting five blooms; we know we have to work for it,� said Beaudreau. “We’re doing our best to make
Is
sure we maintain five blooms.� Beaudreau is in charge of touring the judges around various locations in the community. When asked if the judges ever come across the seedy areas of the municipality, Beaudreau said: “One of the judges a few years back said to us, ‘Don’t try to hide your blemishes, we see them.’ We direct the tour, certainly, but we don’t hide things.� Along with the Communities in Bloom event, the district and WFN have created their own set of prizes for residents and businesses in the community. Katherine Key won the category for most beautiful small garden. She said she has never had any formal horticulture training. “My mom started to get interested in gardening when she retired and she started to bring some plants to me,� Key said. “When I moved here from Calgary, I noticed how well the plants grew compared to how they grew in Calgary. That sort of inspired me. Every year my garden got bigger and I got bigger plans. I started reading magazines and going to the garden centre and trying to figure stuff out. For me that’s most of the fun— trying new things.� All the most beautiful award winners were as follows: Most beautiful strata—Sun Village Most beautiful business, large—Gorman’s Lumber Most beautiful business, small— Craftsman Collision (Stevens Road) Most beautiful residential garden, large—Linda Knowles Most beautiful residential garden, small—Katherine Key Most beautiful edible garden—Loraine Harding Most beautiful tree—Pat and Kurt Zander West Kelowna and WFN will find out how they did this year at the Communities in Bloom national awards ceremony Oct. 13 in Edmonton.

Saved rabbits threatened again
STAFF REPORTER
It was tough to drive down Enterprise Way in 2008 without seeing tens—if not hundreds— of rabbits. While some liked the hopping animals, several businesses found them to be a nuisance. To save the creatures from being killed, The Responsible Animal Care Society (TRACS) stepped in and transferred more than 800 rabbits to what they termed sanctuaries throughout the community. TRACS found out Tuesday that one of those sanctuaries is being sold; therefore, the clock is ticking for the society to transfer 50 rabbits to a new safe environment. “We absolutely have to find something,� said Cyndy Mymka, president of TRACS. “We don’t want to break up the group because they are bonded with each other.� Ideally, TRACS is hoping that someone with an acreage who loves animals will step up to the plate. All the rabbits are sterilized and TRACS has agreed to cover all food and veterinary bills. “What we need is somebody who is willing to feed, water and keep an eye on the bunnies on a daily basis and then clean once a week.� TRACS has until Oct. 1 to move the bunnies off the property. According to Mymka, the other 750 rabbits are distributed on seven different pens throughout the community. Most are healthy and have received proper attention over the past four years. She added that there’s only been one other situation since the rabbits were saved that TRACS had to relocate one of the herds. TRACS is made up of about 30 volunteers. According to Mymka, the majority of its funding comes from donations.

To the editor: “Everybody loves Chompy, what’s your problem?” “Don’t worry about Fluffy, she’ll just lick you to death.” These are just a couple (out of thousands) of comments made by the dog-owning public every day. The problem is, it’s not the dog but the owner. Recently there have been two major dog attacks, one very serious, resulting in almost 50 stitches. Both dogs were destroyed yet it still begs the question, how did these vicious attacks occur? Postal workers, those street walkers and drivers delivering to your community mail boxes and homes, facing blinding heat that melts soles off shoes to freezing cold that results in faces sliding off due to frostbite, have many challenges to get ’er done every day. The least of it is dogs. All we ask is for you, the responsible dog owner, to restrain your animals, take responsibility for any actions it does. Dogs, no matter what breed or mix, are different

Accused dog, like people, has to await court date
W
hen local media outlets were invited to see the conditions at the local pound in the wake of a public outcry about a pooch in their custody, I couldn’t help but home in on Shadow. In part because the suspicious dog turnedunlikely-victim was the reason we were there. Also because, even if the Madsens appear to be genuine people, you can’t entirely trust someone when they say their loved one is innocent if that same loved one is facing the death penalty. Goodness knows there are a lot of human monsters in prison, whose family and friends are blind to their faults, so it’s something you want to see with your own eyes.
Most of all, however, he caught my attention because I’m a dog nut and he is beautiful. A gorgeous, soft giant who was sitting in the corner licking Kathy his cage and languidly Michaels stretching when media buzzed around his kennel and others. If I could have, I would have hugged him, shoved him into my pocket and ran away with him, as well as three other particularly sweet looking pooches. That said, I couldn’t. Nor should I have. There’s a process playing out that’s fitting to the injuries the woman suffered whether by Shadow or the other dog. Let’s not forget, regardless of which dog the court decides made the bite,
KATHARTIC
Shadow was loose from his pen and that’s why this is all happening. It’s uncomfortably sad when you realize it’s taken so long for the courts to find room to try the matter and he’s been in a pen ever since, but it’s not a tragedy. Contrary to the idea countless letter writers are forwarding, I don’t believe a dog should skip the queue in front of the countless killers and pedophiles who file into the Kelowna courthouse. Frankly it’s the most ludicrous thing I’ve heard in years. And if quips made online calling Shadow’s wait for trial time being a miscarriage of justice, are indicative of the public’s understanding of what’s happening at the courthouse, here’s a couple of examples to really dig placard-making felt pens into. An Okanagan woman whose daughter was murdered in April 2010, will have waited three years by the time
her daughter’s accused killer is tried in court. The man arrested in 2009 for the killing of a teenager that happened in 1993, didn’t go to trial until 2011. That means her parents waited 18 years for “justice”—a word being used a bit too loosely these days. Ultimately, it’s too bad that the current mediation system at the regional district is reliant on the courts, and that’s what needs to be the focus. The Madsens are doing the right thing by fighting for the pooch they love, but those who are following in lockstep would be better off learning more about what’s wrong with the system and trying to right that, than spouting uninformed rhetoric. All that energy would be much more fitting for the giant soft beauty that’s become an unlikely victim of circumstance. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

▼ PROVINCIAL POLITICS
Liberals get cracking to not let NDP win Open letter to Ben Stewart, Liberal MLA for Westside-Kelowna: Is it my imagination or is the government so “peed off” at British Columbians because the majority voted down the HST, that you are going to punish all of us by delivering us on a platter to the NDP at the next election. It certainly feels that way. Having experienced two NDP fiascos (Barrett and Harcourt/Dosanjh/Clark) I am in no mood to go through it again but it seems that Adrian Dix (leader of the NDP) sits on the sidelines with his
t▼
smug expression while the government seems happy to push people in his direction, due to a complacent attitude toward our state of affairs. I remember the mess that the NDP left behind 10 years ago and I give Gordon Campbell and the government full marks for getting us back on an even keel, but I am not convinced this government has the same commitment. With current MLAs falling out of the next election like leaves in autumn, I really do feel concerned about the commitment to meet the challenge.
The NDP did a great job of almost driving this province into oblivion during their last term. In today’s current economic climate, B.C. cannot afford another fiasco with them. There are many young British Columbians and new Canadians who will be voting for the first time. They need to know the facts about the NDP’s dismal track record but I don’t see any effort on your part to deliver the information which they need. When the B.C. Lions were down 1-6 last year, Wally Buono was not wearing his “happy face”
when discussing his strategy with the media. He motivated his team to do the job that they are paid to do. They are professionals and need to perform that way and they did. I think it is time for the Premier to leave her “happy face” at home and start talking straight and tough about what our future holds. You are all paid well and you are business and political professionals. Do your job. A good start would be the Enbridge pipeline. Get off the fence and let it be known that the Enbridge track record is not acceptable and unless they can
demonstrate a better way of securing their product in transit, then it will not be supported by the B.C. government. If the Feds push it through, that is a whole new story but we need to make a stand now. There are many British Columbians who want you to be successful in the next election but you are not giving us much meat to chew on. It seems when you finally take aim at something, it usually finishes up in your foot. I really am on your side—not sure if you are on mine! Barry Ellis, West Kelowna

GELLATLY BAY
Find a way to widen road while keeping trees
To the editor: t Just like Lois Bennett, I will be very sad to see our beautiful katsura trees along our Gellatly Bay waterfront destroyed. Practically all newspaper articles and pictures about that area show these trees and they are always the highlight, just like in a painting. These trees, after 20 plus years, look strong and healthy and have been practically maintenance free. I understand that progress sometimes requires us to do things that we would rather avoid. All we can do is work around these unpleasant obstacles. t It is my understanding that it is not permissible anymore to gain land with additional fill
material being put into the lake. Fortunately, at the time, the then Gellatly Bay Aquatic Park Society (now Gellatly Bay Trail and Park Society) submitted plans requesting that widening of our shoreline be permitted and, we received permission to do so. Had we not, the green areas at Willow’s Beach point and all the green area at Rotary Beach and also our walkway would not be there for everyone’s enjoyment today. What I do not yet know and understand is, if the katsura trees come out because they limit our roadway width, then one would assume the new trees that are planned to be planted would then be closer to our present shoreline. This would cut down on our available walkway width, which certainly would not be de-
sirable. So, what would I like to see being done? Try to get additional width on the Angus side of the road. Leave the katsura trees, but still build a retaining wall next to them. Possibly forget about the two bike lanes— they are not much used at the stretch from the marina to the Cove. This would give us good width for the road and also for vehicle parking and our walkway could have a decent width. Yes, and then give that length of road a low speed limit. It won’t hurt anyone of us to drive the bay area slower and enjoy the view, which would include the katsura trees. John Andersen, West Kelowna

could be considered elsewhere in their plans and budgets, and is a massive barrier to entry for many potential international students as well. Kevin Willemse
▼ WORK SAFETY
Dogs nature to be protective Express yourself Dogs from A8 animals when the owner is absent. They are protective, aggressive and stubborn. They will charge barking or becoming silent missiles of teeth. Every attack is unique, I’ll concede that, but the common denominator or thread is unrestrained animals. As a letter carrier all I ask, is for you to restrain
your dog—leash it, fence it, whatever—we will deliver up to 8 p.m. I promise not to feed it treats if you promise that it won’t kill me or try to. This is not the dog’s fault. It falls squarely on the owner’s shoulders, no and’s, if’s, or but’s. Wait for your mail before allowing Fluffy to run free in your front yard and keep dogs away from us when we’re trying to com-
plete our job. The crack in the fence to the dog flying out the front door to meet the mailman, all results, in most cases, to physical and psychological damage that takes sometimes years to recover from. Dawn Klappe president, CUPW Kelowna Local 760

City in Action COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS Electrical Utility City Council endorsed a recommendation to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with FortisBC. Under the terms of the Kelowna Electrical Utility Restructuring Opportunity, the City would change its ownership structure from being an operator to an investor in the utility. The City would transfer ownership of its electrical utility assets to FortisBC, which currently operates and maintains the utility. The City’s electric utility users would experience no change to their electrical services. The legacy investment from the utility would continue to provide secure financial returns equal to, or greater than, the $2.1 million the City utility currently generates. The City is beginning a process to review the opportunity, including an independent third-party review and citizen engagement and approval in the fall of 2012.
Bernard Avenue Parking Information about parking management during the Bernard Avenue revitalization was presented to Council. A parking management study anticipates adequate on-street and surface parking will be available during construction. Parking rates will remain in effect during construction. Communication efforts and signs will direct drivers to parking options.
Public Art The Zephyr sculpture will be relocated to City Park. Currently located on the southeast end of the Bennett Bridge, the public art will be moved as part of City Park improvement plans.
Crime Reduction Strategy Council endorsed the RCMP Crime Reduction Strategy for 2012-2015. This strategy follows an earlier report to Council on police resourcing and describes areas of focus. The strategy addresses recommendations from the police resourcing report to reduce crime rates by 10 per cent over the four-year period, reduce calls for service, increase patrols and increase internal and external communication related to crime reduction.
Transit Expansion Council approved transit service expansions planned for September. The September expansion includes additional service for routes in Quail Ridge, Lakeshore and the 97 Express Rapidbus. kelowna.ca/council

The show was canceled last Friday due to thunderstorm activity. But the show will go on this evening with rock, pop group Scissorkick taking the stage at 8:15 p.m.

Musician with a generous heart suffering after assault M
y prayers and best thoughts go out to Floyd Vedan this week as he recovers in Kelowna General Hospital from a vicious assault. Vedan is not only a talented and giving musician but an all-round top notch person. I’ve had the honour of knowing Floyd for at least 15 years, someone who is constantly looking after others. We’ve served together as judges at numerous music or talent contests, been involved in the
HODGE PODGE
Charlie Hodge same concerts or benefits, or just shared some time chatting and laughing. Floyd’s kindness is a beacon of light for many folks. Now we need to shine for him. *** Okay, I know it’s July
and I should not be thinking about hockey but… some nagging question keeps burning in my brain. What’s with GM Mike Gillis and the Vancouver Canucks? Why are the Canucks not doing a damn thing to improve their hockey club to make it a serious Stanley Cup contender again? Why are contending teams like Philadelphia and New York Rangers making major moves yet Vancouver tinkers? Minnesota Wild suddenly are worth worrying about
after snapping two free agent stars, Zach Parise and Ryan Suter. The Canucks big announcement? Ryan Kessler may be back earlier than expected from injury problems. Whooppee! Great move their Mike. Is Gillis asleep, because the parade of decent free agent players is rapidly dwindling and he’s done diddlysquat except sign a couple of third and fourth line (or less) players—and that’s part of what a farm team is about. Certainly there is a
deal of some sort brewing for Roberto Luongo, but that should not stop Gillis from realizing we need a couple key parts in order to play the game properly, such as a right wing sniper and prolific scoring second line centre. A puck moving defenseman would be nice as well. Luongo’s trade could or should fill at least one of those spots, but Mike you need a bit more than that. *** Now, back to summer and welcome to the heat.

LeafSource Stops Pain Within Days! “It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!” This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had finally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues. “I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian. Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the
numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away. “She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone - as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.”
Why is it so effective? LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inflammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself. The vast majority (70-80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems—often called osteoarthritis. This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through
the aging process. With joint inflammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back. Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and inflammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive antiinflammatory drugs that cause many more problems than they solve. It is safe to take up to six per day with absolutely no side-effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent anti-inflammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction of inflammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily. LeafSource is endorsed by
This product get results! LeafSource is scientifically validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. But it’s what LeafSource users are saying that truly demonstrates the products effectiveness: I have had cronic pain for over 15 years and have been going to a chiropractor monthly for pain therapy. I started using LeafSource two months ago and I am amazed at the results. I no longer have tendinitis, carple tunnel or irritable bowel. My arthritis is manageable, all my joints are limber and I’m able to exercise again. My energy levels are up, my nails and hair are stronger and my skin is softer. ~ Debbie
I am pretty stunned what this has done for me in 8 days of taking LeafSource. For 18 years I have tried many many products ...most of them expensive. And most did not work at all. I had been on a mission to find a product that is doing exactly what LeafSource is doing.So here I am on day 9 with 90% of my pain gone. ~ N. W. - Toronto

It’s easy to differentiate between locals and visitors in Kelowna during the summer. The locals are the ones bitching and complaining about the heat. However, I think it’s only hospitable to share some suggestions about what to do and where to go in Kelowna, to our valued tourists. Every summer I acknowledge some of the best or most enjoyable people and or events from the previous year, as well as my favourite places. Here’s my personal preference list with some choices more ‘Hodgical’ than ‘logical.’ Some are repeat winners from past years. There is no particular rhyme or reason for the order. Many of the spots are around Kelowna while some are on the Westside, Peachland, Penticton or elsewhere across the valley. Enjoy the list and send me back your favourites. I will run another list later this summer. The best thing about Kelowna is probably the stroll along the waterfront at The Delta Grand to City Park, the short wander through Maud Roxby Bird Sanctuary, or walking 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. Favourite Breakfast: Perkins Family Restaurant. Favourite Sunday Brunch: Eldorado Hotel. Favourite spot for a coffee meeting: ABC Restaurant. Favourite Kelowna restaurant (lunch): Grateful Fed (awesome soup, awesome staff), Bohemian Cafe (great menu, great people as well). Best Kelowna restaurant for dinner: Minstrel Cafe, Earls on Top, Olympia Greek Tavernas. Best regional restaurant for dinner: The Gashaus in Peachland. Best Italian: Momma Rosa’s.
Favourite Fish and Chips: Halibut at Shady Rest. Favourite Kelowna pub: McCullough Station, Rosie’s Pub, Best sports pub: Sturgeon Hall, Baxter’s Pub, Dakoda’s Place to People Watch: Patios at Rosie’s Pub, Doc Willoughby’s, and the Grateful Fed. Ricky’s balcony. On a lawn chair near The Sails. Favourite touristy views: Knox Mountain. Friendliest sales staff Kelowna: Extra Foods –Capri Mall (for third straight year). Friendliest Bank staff: TD Canada Trust (Spall Plaza). Also Brenda Konechny at Bernard branch of Interior Savings. Friendliest Gas Attendant: Yves Beliveau at Gordon and Cook Road. Best Book Store: Mosaic Books, Kelowna. Excellent store, tremendous staff. Best Music Store: Wentworth Music, Baron Music. Best Clothing Store: Moore’s (Spall Plaza), Robertson’s Clothing south Pandosy. Best Local Bands: There’s lots of them— Jimmy LeGuilloux Band, Deb Stone Band, Fields of Green, Cowboy Bob, Zamboni Brothers, Jane Eamon, Mean Donna. Best New Local CD: Jack The Riffer by Greg Bennett Best Nightclub/Restaurant for Live Music: Blue Gator, Minstrel Cafe, Streaming Cafe, The Habitat, Vibrant Vines, Grateful Fed. O’Flannigans. Best Regional Nightclub/Live Music: Whisky Jacks in Westbank. Best Concert Facility: Kelowna Community Theatre. Best scenic view while dining: Pyramid Winery, balcony at Earl’s On Top. Best walk/dog walk: Mission Creek Greenway Best area to saunter outside of Kelowna:The waterfront in Peachland. Favourite spot to relax: My garden, in a canoe anywhere on the water, Bear Creek Canyon (not safe for children). Best spot to hide away: My back yard. hodgepodge2@shaw.ca

ited range, centred on the Okanagan Valley, where considerable development has taken place in recent years, reducing its habitat. And if that weren’t threatening enough for a bird who relies on cavities in ponderosa pine, Douglas fir or black cottonwoods to build its nests, the fact that the incredibly invasive, introduced starling also likes to nest in those cavities is like the straw that broke the camel’s back. As a result, this colourful woodpecker is now a threatened species, estimated at a population of fewer than 1,000 birds now in B.C. Unlike many woodpeckers, the Lewis’s actually forages for insects in flight instead of pecking for them in the bark of trees. However, it does drill nest cavities in large trees as most of its cousins in the woodpecker family do. Where many of our local woodpeckers are mainly black and white with spots of red in various places, the Lewis’s has black upper parts that have a greenish sheen. It also features a rosy belly, grey collar and upper breast and a red face framed in black. He’s one of our larger woodpeckers, though not nearly as large as the distinctive pileated woodpecker, who is actually the size of a crow, nor quite as large as the famil-

The Lewis’s is a migratory woodpecker, returning to the Okanagan in May each year and nesting from mid-June to Late July, and that’s why Lisa Scott, regional coordinator of the Wildlife Tree Stewardship program is asking for help locating Lewis’s families right now. Although they are aware of a few nest sites in the Central Okanagan, they would like to locate more, and now is the time, while the birds and their young are still hanging around the nest trees. That information goes to federal and provincial biologists responsible for management of the species, and local landowners or managers are given advice on how best to manage the habitat to protect this disappearing species. The WiTS program is a voluntary one, created to conserve wildlife tree habitats through volunteer monitoring of wildlife trees and bird activity, landowner agreements and community education. Other birds of concern who rely on wildlife
THE LEWIS’S woodpecker found in the Okanagan Valley is now considered an endangered species. trees include the flammulated owl, western screech owl, white-headed woodpecker and Williamson’s sapsucker. The bald eagle, great blue heron and osprey also require wildlife trees. To record a sighting, contact Lisa at: witsos@ shaw.ca or call her at 250404-0115.
MORE HELP WANTED The Friends of the South Slopes is looking for individuals, organizations or companies willing to adopt a trail in the Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park area. These trails are used for hiking, running, mountain biking and horse riding. Ken Wiklund, of FOSS, says what’s needed is a commitment to sponsor a trail and keep it in good condition. The main tasks involve removing foliage that’s blocking the trail, or trail brushing, and re-grading sections to prevent erosion from water. Normally 10 to 20 man-hours work a year would be needed, but not all parts of a trail need to be brushed each year and
not all erosion control projects need to be done in any one year. Each sponsor will be provided with an assessment of the work their trail requires, along with instructions on how to complete the tasks, if needed. Some specialized tools are also available from the group. Businesses would be recognized for their sponsorship with the company name on a signpost at the trailhead. Government cutbacks have made it necessary for everyone to pull together to maintain such parks, Wiklund explains, or declines in trail conditions will result. There are 47 trails in the area with a combined length of 92 kilometres. FOSS president Al Bischoff says there are still affects from the 2003 wildfire that tore through that area, with trees still falling on trails and increased damage from erosion with fewer tree roots to stabilize the soil. If you’re able to help out, email FOSS at info@foss-kelowna.org or check out the website www.foss-kelowna.org. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

ENTERTAINMENT Caravan chases down Right Robert and his Robber Bride Kristin Froneman CONTRIBUTOR
Caravan Farm Theatre has always had a thing for dusty characters, whose names are as descriptive as their surroundings. A lot of this has to do with the writers the theatre commissions, and one who has returned to the Caravan after a decade is a shining example. Banjo-wielding playwright Sean Dixon last came to the farm in 1999 to portray a banjo-wielding character who sells his soul to the devil in The Ballad of Weedy Peetstraw. The Toronto-based author, playwright and actor is back at Caravan this summer with his latest play, the alliterated titled The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride. Dixon wrote the script from a concept that Courtenay Dobbie, Caravan’s artistic director, had in mind, with Vicki Stroich of Calgary’s Alberta Theatre Project providing dramaturgy, and
KRISTIN FRONEMAN/VERNON MORNING STAR
HORSES TOM AND LUKE cool off in front of Caravan Farm Theatre’s cook shack, where The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride is playing.. Salmon Arm’s Herald Nix, the music. “We approached Sean to write a fast-paced cops and robbers story with the idea of people trying to fulfil their dreams of getting out of their smalltown existence,� said Dobbie, who is also directing her second summer production at the farm after last year’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
“Last year, we had the flowery, lighthearted Midsummer’s and this year is dusty and dirty bank robbers. I wanted this show to be fast and action packed, loud, gregarious and adventurous. It’s sort of a live version of a Coen brothers’ movie with that vintage look and aesthetic.� A 1930s period piece with a Bonnie and Clyde-
style plot, the play uses vintage cars, that dusty setting and the vernacular, where women were called “dames,� to set the times. The play has the perfect backdrop, with Caravan’s western frontier look, and more than a few healthy steeds (of the equine variety) to help move along the props and set pieces.
“We’ve done this time period before and have utilized and have been inspired by the old buildings here at the farm in creating a dusty, small town,� said Dobbie. “Three of our horses also make an appearance in the show.� Folks can also expect a few gun fights, and those specially attained vintage cars, one from Vernon and the other from Salmon Arm, to swoop in and out of the play’s stage, which is being set up in the open field just north of the horse paddocks. There, the audience watches as Right Robert Popoff (played by Greg Gale), achieves legendary status in his one-horse (fictional) town of Chickabiddy, B.C. “Robert wants to be famous. He likes the idea of people knowing who he is. The problem is he doesn’t know how to be famous so he turns to a life of crime,� said Dobbie. Raised by his older brother, Blue Jay (Darren Dolinsky), who be-
comes an accomplice, Robert lives up to his name and becomes a thief not unlike Kentucky-born stagecoach/train robber Billy Miner, whose life of crime was eventually stopped when he was caught by police at Monte Lake, near Kamloops. “Billy is mentioned in the play,� said Dobbie. Robert eventually meets his match in lady love Jenny Lundy (Georgina Beatty), a gal who wants to be a newspaper “man.� “Like Robert, she was born and lives in the town and they met one another when they were young and reconnect years later,� said Dobbie. “Jenny wants to be a journalist. She gets frustrated by her hometown paper as she feels there is not enough news. She’s hungry for words and is always writing in her journal.� As the two set off to make a name for themselves, the British Columbia Provincial Police (who would go on to amalgamate with the RCMP ) attempt to track
them down. One is the town’s sheriff Julius Tallhammer (Christopher Hunt), who also serves as the play’s narrator, and his jealous and hateful deputy Bull Withers (Bruce Horak). “It’s a comedy, and they play the bumbling duo who chase after the robbers.� Dobbie is also quick to point out that this year’s show is not a musical, but has musical accompaniment, played by a threepiece band, including Nix on vocals/guitar, to serve as a segue between scenes. “Herald (Nix) is an indie/alt/country artist from Salmon Arm who is big in the Vancouver music scene,� said Dobbie. “His music sets the tone with a little banjo, harmonica, and slide guitar.� The Notorious Right Robert and His Robber Bride is Caravan nightly to Aug. 26 at 7:30 p.m. (closed Mondays.) Tickets are available by calling 250-549-7469 or order online at www.ticketseller.ca.

T
he theme of the Kelowna Art Gallery’s summer show, Bearing Witness, is art that speaks to issues of oppression, brutality and genocide. Bearing Witness is organized and circulated by the Vancouver Art Gallery, with the generous support of The Killy Foundation and Odlum Brown.

Liz Wylie VAG’s senior curator of historical art, Ian Thom. The notion of an artist making art that is a social or political comment on current events and/or issues is one born in the
modern era. Beginning in the 18th century, as artists in the West were released from the bonds of patronage by the church and the aristocracy and became free to starve in their garrets, they began to bear witness to the events of their time. The earliest examples of political art include the Spanish Franciso Goya’s suite of prints The Disasters of War (1810-20) and his The Third of May, See Wylie A19

Can art capture horror of war Wylie from A17 1808: The Execuction of the Defenders of Madrid, completed in 1814. The French artist Theodore Gericault felt compelled to paint a version of a shipwreck of a slave ship and the ensuing deaths of most aboard in his gigantic and powerful Raft of the Medusa, from 1818-19. Edouard Manet, a contemporary of the Impressionists, was anti-Napoleon and painted his Execution of Maximilian in 1868-9, a year after this event occurred in Mexico. The 20th century saw a great unleashing of protest art, with the Dada movement of the 1910s and ’20s being rife with seminal examples. One of the most famous anti-war works of art in the 20th century was, of course, Picasso’s Guernica, painted in 1937, his depiction and comment on a brutal incident of the Spanish Civil War. Seen against this historical backdrop the 41 works by 27 artists in this show demonstrate a variety of modern approach-
es, media and stylistic means to take on the challenge of producing this kind of work. For example, one long wall in the gallery is devoted to showcasing most of the photographs in the exhibition. These 13 works range from images from the golden age of photojournalism of the 1930s, to modern documentary photographs. Many of the subjects in these images are hard-hitting. There are strong selections of several pieces by each of the late New York artists Leon Golub and Nancy Spero, who were married to each other for many years and sometimes collaborated on projects. Golub focused on mercenaries and armed conflicts; Spero explored the free-form use of the female body paired with bombs, explosions and helicopters, for example, and her work operates on primal levels. The focal point of the show, however, is the stunning installation of seven wooden stele-like wooden objects by Cuban-born artist Magdalena Campos-Pons, cre-

ated in 1992 (see photo page A17). Each of these has a diagram of the arrangement of captured people in the holds of slave ships from the time of the African slave trade. The work sends a chilling message about our concern for efficiency in our genocidal treatment of humanity, a trait that came to the fore again with the Holocaust. There are two etchings by Picasso in the show, a wonderful large photograph by the Canadian photographer Ed Burtynsky of the area in China preparing for the 2002 Three Gorges Dam project, and several works by various artists that deal with the subjugation of women.

work in video, a projection piece from 1997 called Black Spot, by the Irish artist Willie Doherty, that seems like just a time lapse exposure of a city neighbourhood as day turns to evening, and then into night. But eventually we realize that the footage is from a big-brother surveillance camera, something most of us would be happier to live without. It’s not what you would call light or summery fare, but the work in this show packs strong aesthetic punches, despite the tough subjects being explored. It is a tricky undertaking for an artist to produce work that functions as social commentary. It is hard to hit the right emotional note so that one does not trivialize or aestheticize one’s subject. It begs the question of whether any artist can ever really convey the horrors of war and oppression through an art object. The exhibition continues until Aug. 19.

A’s home to Cards for PBL playoff series Athletics host Cardinals in doubleheader Saturday. Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
They’ve had the best season ever for a Kelowna team competing in the B.C. Premier Baseball League. This weekend the Okanagan Athletics look to keep the positives rolling as the BCPBL playoffs begin. The Athletics host the Abbotsford Cardinals this weekend in a best-of-three first round playoff series with a trip to the PBL’s final four championship tournament on the line. “This is what we have been waiting all year for,” said Athletics coach Evan Bailey. “It’s going to be an interesting weekend. It should be a pretty good series.” In the standings, the Athletics and Cardinals appear pretty evenly matched. Okanagan finished fourth in the 13team league with a 32-16 record, by far the team’s best record since entering the BCPBL in 2004. They were in a dog-fight for top spot most of the season but fell off the past few weeks

Just four games behind the Athletics was fifth place Abbotsford which finished at 2719 and have been playing its best baseball in the second half of the season. “I think we match up with them pretty well,” said Bailey. “We split he season series. They have a couple of good pitchers and we have some guys that can throw as well. We just have to make the basic plays. That’s what the playoffs is all about: Taking care of the ball and

not giving up extra bases.” The teams will play a double-header Saturday at Elks Stadium (10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.) and if a third and deciding game is needed it will go Sunday morning (10 a.m. Elks) The A’s will turn to veteran right-handed Clint Heidebrecht in game one, a fourth year player for the Athletics who missed the start of the year with injury before compiling a 3-2 record with a 2.26 ERA. With either team need-
ing just two wins, a good start to the series is important. “A quick start is huge,” said Bailey. “In this league and in these games where you are only playing seven innings, if you can jump out to a quick lead that’s a huge advantage.” Bailey hadn’t committed to his second game starter, saying that he will see how game one goes before deciding on his pitcher. After such a stellar regular season, the A’s
coach also added that it’s important for his team to follow that up with a good playoffs. “I’m a firm believer that your season is only as good as the way it ends,” he said. “It was important this year that we establish ourselves as a good program and I think we did that. We want to get into the final four. That was our goal this year and I think that’s the next step for our program.” The winner of the series will join three other teams in the BCPBL year end tournament in Nanaimo on the August long weekend. Bailey says the key to success for his team is playing the same way they have all year long. “I told my guys to come out with a lot of intensity and play the way we’ve played all year long. Nothing changes because it’s the playoffs. It’s the same game. You have to play on an even keel. You can’t get too up and you can’t get way down.” The other BCPBL playoff series features the Victoria Mariners against Coquitlam. Langley and Nanaimo finished first and second and have byes into the championship tournament. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Locals on Team B.C. U-17s Two members of the Okanagan Athletics have been selected to Team B.C. Under 17 which will compete in the Canada Cup in early August. Dawson Yates and Morgan Lofstrom were both selected to Team B.C. after stellar seasons with the Athletics. Yates, a third baseman, finished fifth in batting average in the B.C. Premier Baseball League, hitting .368 with 12 doubles and 20 runs batted in. “Dawson brings a lot to the table in terms of power production and quality at bats,” said Athletics coach Evan Bailey. “He’s worked hard to become a solid defensive player. There isn’t a guy who puts in more extra work than Dawson.” As for Lofstrom, the Mount Boucherie student is one of the top catchers

in the PBL using a great arm to shut down opposing team’s running games. Lofstrom also hit .316 and was 5-and-1 on the mound. “Morgan worked his butt off this year and he’s turned into one of the better catchers in the league in terms of throwing runners out,” said Bailey. “He’s taken his game to the next level this year.” Along with Yates and Lofstrom, Okanagan Athletics player James Walker has been named as an alternate player for Team B.C. The Canada Cup will take place in London, ON Aug. 8 to 13. It’s a highly scouted tournament that features all of the best players from across Canada and is a precursor to the 2013 Major League Baseball draft.

Sun head coach Gavin Lake released a statement Thursday explaining the team’s decision. “It was an extremely difficult decision, how-
ever it was made with all parties best interests in mind. These decisions are never easy. The young men that play this game are not paid professionals. The family, work, school and life balance is paramount in all of our minds.

Turner’s decathlon
Hardy gold in B.C. Games Central Okanagan Sailing Association (COSA) race team member Elizabeth Hardy sailed to a gold medal win at the B.C. Games in Surrey this past weekend. Hardy dominated the regatta early on, finishing the first day of the event well ahead of her competitors, thanks to superior technical skills that helped her navigate five foot waves and 20-knot winds off Crescent Beach. Also a coach at COSA, Hardy capsized several times during the windy first day of races. While strong winds with heavy gusts and lots of rain challenged the sailors, it was the large waves created by shallow waters and strong currents that made for the biggest challenges. Day two of racing was much milder, allowing the Vancouver Race Committee to run an additional four races. In the end, Hardy was able to hold off all challengers to finish with four first place and two second place finishes to easily secure the gold medal. Hardy’s brother, Thomas, competed in the male division where it looked like a medal was a sure thing after the first day. Unfortunately, lighter winds on the last day of the event worked against Thomas, who is used to sailing larger, more powerful rigs on his Laser.
Thomas, who is also a CSOA coach, dropped back to finish eighth in the male division. Alex Roberts and Devin Araujo competed for COSA in the Optimist division. For both young sailors, this was their first time sailing in the ocean, which proved overwhelming thanks to the difficult weather conditions. By the end of the event, both sailors were demonstrating top form, but by then, it was too late to mount a comeback. Regional sailing coach Devin Rubadeau was philosophical about the whole event. “The B.C. Games is challenging in so many different ways,” he said. “Lack of sleep, difficult transportation schedules, and unknown geography all add up to make it hard on athletes to succeed. The Kelowna sailors really stepped up and took charge early on, which is a testament to their time practicing and their commitment to the sport.” Rubadeau also had this observation about the Hardy siblings performance. “Elizabeth and Thomas competed in the Kamloops B.C. Summer Games in 2006 when they were quite young. I remember that both sailors finished at the back of the pack, in sailing conditions that were extremely windy and probably a lit-
tle bit scary. Here we are six years later, and Elizabeth dominates the competition to earn a gold medal,” Rubadeau said. “The younger sailors (and all athletes) can really learn something from this. The Hardy’s stuck with it, battled through adversity, and came out on top. That’s what sport is all about. I fully expect to see Alex and Devin standing on the podium at the B.C. Summer Games six years from now.”

Okanagan Athletics Club athlete James Turner finished inside the top 20 in the decathlon event at the World Junior Track and Field Championships in Barcelona, Spain earlier this month. Turner posted a final points total of 7,017, just 63 points shy of a Canadian national record, after two gruelling days of competition, in which he completed the 10 events of the decathlon. Day 1 of competition began with a respectable 100 metre time of 11.33 seconds, just off his per-
sonal best time. Turner followed that with a 6.87 metre long jump and a 12.53 metre shot put. Then it was on to the high jump where he recorded a jump of 1.86 metres. The first day of the decathlon ended with the challenging 400 metre sprint where Turner ran a new personal best time of 49.90 seconds, breaking the 50 second barrier for the first time in his career. That put Turner in 20th place after the first day with what is usually a

Motocross rider Weintz chalks up wins to practise For Winfield motocross rider Seth Weintz, getting to the top of three different classes of motocross racing is all about practice and focus. Weintz, a 14-year-old student at George Elliot school in Winfield, finished the spring motocross racing season in first place in B.C. in the 85 cc, super mini and school boy categories of the Canadian Motocross Racing Corporation. “It feels so good to win,� said Weintz, who practices at the Bear Creek motocross track or on the

WINFIELD motocross rider Seth Weintz has been one B.C. top young racers this season. track his dad built on the family property. “I usually
get a pretty fast start getting out of the gate.�
Weintz began riding motocross bikes when he was just four-years-old but only began competing two years ago. Once he got the taste of competition something clicked. “I like racing and competing more than just riding,� he said. “You’re always racing on a different track and moving up with bigger and faster bikes. It’s an adrenaline rush.� Weintz isn’t the only family member who is a racer. He goes up against his 12-year-old brother Ajay, who competes in
the same class, which features riders from 12 to 16 years of age. In the B.C. Motorcycle Association South Series 85 cc competition for boys aged 12 to 16, Weintz roared past the competition, winning the overall points race with 318 and winning each of the seven events. Coming in third in the category was brother Ajay. It was much the same story for the elder Weintz in the Supermini and School Boy divisions with Seth placing first and los-
ing only a handful of races along the way. He jokes that it is also important to stay ahead of his kid brother and says practising a lot is the key to his success. “I just like riding and practising a lot,� he said, adding that he would love to have a future in the sport. “I would like to go pro and race for a pro team.� The CMRC racing series is now idle for the summer but will start up in September with a sanctioned race at the Bear Creek motocross track.

Turner now moves on to the Canadian Junior Nationals in Winnipeg (this weekend where he has his sights set on a new national record in the junior men’s decathlon. •••

Adam Murray also posted three personal best performances, claiming a bronze medal in the midget boys 1500m steeplechase (4:32.25), placing 4th in the 15-year-
old boy’s 800m (2:07.53), and 5th in the 15-year-old boy’s 1200m (4:32.25). Murray’s performances on the weekend were remarkable considering he broke his leg in a skiing accident in February. Cassie Laturnus, another club runner plagued with injury this season, continued her battle back from a steeplechase accident in June. Laturnus place 4th in the 15-year-old girl’s steeplechase (5:31.07), 4th in the 15-year-old girl’s 2000m (7:08.82), and 6th in the 15-year-old girl’s 1200m (3:57.02).

A couple of Kelowna junior golfers battled it out down the stretch as the Harvest Golf Club played host to over 70 players on the Boston Pizza–presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) this week. Several Kelowna players were in the hunt in most divisions while players from all over the province were treated to the spectacular Okanagan views and golf at the MJT British Columbia Series. The unusual weather saw players in toques and parents wearing mitts on day one, however it warmed up on day two and play was outstanding on a course in great shape. In the Boys 14-16 division there was a tie for top spot at 148 total score between Kelowna natives Cole Baldigara, 15, who shot 75-73, and Lionel Taylor, 16, who shot 7177, with Baldigara claiming the gold medal with the best second day score. Coming down the stretch, Baldigara said he was thinking, “It was looking promising playing with Lionel Taylor—a great junior. We have battled before and we always have a good one.� He cited his highlight as his approach shot on the par five 18th hole where he made birdie. “It feels good for my first win and I’m happy everything came together.�

Centennials B.C. champs Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Almost 10 years after hatching the idea to put a masters fastball team together, the Kelowna Centennials claimed their first provincial championship last weekend, winning the Masters 50-plus championship on its home field Kingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stadium. The Centennials beat the Ladner masters 8-4 in the championship game to win the 50-plus provincials, the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first provincial championship. A three-run triple by Brent Parker was the deciding blow in the championship game, as he cleared the bases and com-
pleted a comeback from down 4-1 to Ladner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an excellent game,â&#x20AC;? said Lea Kunz, one of the founding members of the Centennials. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a little redemption against Ladner who had beat us the past two years.â&#x20AC;? The Centennials, Ladner and Vernon competed in the tournament, a modified round robin that saw each team guaranteed four games. After finishing first in the playoffs, Kelowna awaited the winner of Ladner and Vernon for the final. The Centennials were boosted by the play of Andre, Rene and Maurice
Blanleil, who joined the team for the playoffs after playing for Ladner in past years. The win means the team qualified for the Western Canadian championships. However due to a lack of teams the Westerns have been cancelled this year. The Centennials will instead now focus on a return to the World Masters Fastball Championships, set for next year in Torino, Italy. It will be the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third trip to the worlds after first entering the championship when it was held in Edmonton in 2005. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was going to be our swan song, but we had so much fun we deci-

scores of 77-77. The divisional Mr. Lube Long Drive Competition winners were Cameron Welch of Kelowna, Allan Pruss of Red Deer, AB, Mike Peters of Winnipeg, and Kylie Jack of West Kelowna.

Traveling Norway’s backroads Anne Z. Cooke CONTRIBUTOR
The visitors touring Maihaugen Heritage Village were itching with curiosity. They’d wandered the site’s narrow lanes and peered inside the 200-year-old log cabins. They’d explored the craft shops and traditional hand-hewn barns brought from far-flung farms and forests and reassembled here, under the trees. Now they wanted to know if any of Norway’s leading figures—statesmen, film makers, painters or artists—had their roots in these humble huts. “What about Thor Heyerdahl, the anthropologist, who wrote KonTiki?” asked a bearded man in a brown sweater. “Is there a connection with Henrik Ibsen or Edvard Grieg?” said a woman with two teenagers. Elsa, our guide, tall and blond, paused to think. A frown flitted across her brow. Then she brightened, remembering. “Grieg was here!” she told us. “He vacationed in Lillehammer in summer.
The Gudbrandsdalen Valley folk tunes were an important influence on his music.” She adjusted her red-and-blue embroidered skirt and smiled. A halfdozen cameras clicked. Elsa could be forgiven for wishful thinking. With Norway’s tourist season at hand, every rural hamlet with a legendary anecdote claims one of Norway’s native sons. From creators to cranks, Norway’s finest are familiar to most of us: The controversial playwright Henrik Ibsen; Edvard Munch the eccentric painter; novelist and Nobel Prize-winning author Sigrid Undset, whose edgy themes are still current. But most often the halo spins over composer Edvard Grieg, whose plaintive melodies were born in these northern forests. Plainly, deconstructing Norway was the key to the fertile genius of so many moody and eccentric prodigies. So we rented a car for 10 days and, after touring Oslo, headed north from the capital city through sunny farm country, eventually turning west across Norway’s mountain spine. Des-

THE WATERFRONT and harbor area of downtown Bergen, Norway. Picturesque buildings festoon the mountain slopes rising from the sea. cending beside blue-green fiords, we ended our trip in Bergen, on the coast. Along the way, as time allowed, we followed each beckoning back road in search of wood-timbered stave churches, lakeside villages and botanical gardens. Lunch, often bread, cheese and reindeer sausage, never tasted as good as when we picnicked in a wide spot with a view. And what a land it is. Dark and brooding in winter, Norway awakens to the midnight sun. Snow-
clad peaks feed rushing rivers. Swollen waterfalls careen over spongy tundra and trickle down steep ravines. Roses bloom. To the west, the coastline climbs out of the North Sea like a polar bear on the hunt, cold fiords probing the cliffs with slippery fingers. And from May through September? Norwegians—and visitors— take to the outdoors, to pick blueberries, lie in the sun, tour manor houses and gardens, visit art ex-
hibits and take in outdoor concerts, music recitals and craft fairs. In Oslo (www.visitoslo.com/en/), we strolled through Frogner Park to see sculptor Gustav Vigeland’s modernist sculptures, more than 200 in the one park. Over-sized, physical and stolid, they are arranged in a formal garden setting that creates a perfect contract to their sense of free space. See Norway A28

obsessed the eccentric Munch. These and their contemporaries in the late 19th and other early 20th centuries were frequent patrons of the Grand Hotel Cafe, where they met for morning coffee or in the evening, for conversation and beer. And the cafe is still popular, packed with

facility, where Olympicbound skiers practice during the winter. But we spent most of the day at Maihaugen, exploring its more than 140 timbered houses, barns, craft shops and even a stave church. Farther north, we stopped in Lom to tour another stave church, this one a 12th century relic, and like its kin, built entirely of wood. The gloomy nave and massive beams left a frisson of darker days; fierce dragon heads topped a half dozen peaked, wood-shingled gables. Beyond Lom, a sign on a dirt road pointed the way to the Juvbre Glacier and the summit of 8,148foot Galdhopiggen, a mystery we couldn’t miss. Icebound year around, the mountain is the site of the SkiCenter, a summer host for Olympic skiers in training. And there, unexpectedly, was the U.S. Women’s Ski Team, taking slalom runs. “We spend a week or two here in August, because it has Europe’s best snow,” one of the skiers told us, pausing to smile and chat on her way in for lunch. Crossing over Norway’s snowy spine, (the roads are plowed), we paused to snap photos, then continued down windings twists and turns, on the last leg to Bergen. The road skirted some fiords and crossed others, via daily car ferry service. Eventually we reached the mighty Sognefjord, 112 miles long and 4,000 feet at its deepest point. Though many a far-

LOG CABINS look down at the valley and distant mountains, near Bergen. flung village boasts that Grieg ate there, slept there or taught lessons there, the town of Lofthus, on the Hardanger Fiord, makes an honest claim to his presence. The composer spent several vacations here, staying in the Ullensvang Hotel, breathing the fresh air and hiking the mountain trails. Later he stayed for a year to compose, retiring to a hut on the hotel grounds in search of the inspiration that so often failed to come. The hotel owner, Mr. Utne, the great great-son of the first Mr. Utne to befriend the com-
poser, guided us through the cabin and pointed out Grieg’s desk and chair. As they say in Oslo, “Bergeners are a different breed,” and so they are. Bergen, (www.visitbergen.com/en/) historically separated from eastern Norway by the mountains, is a waterfront town, built by Hanseatic traders and shipping merchants. To learn more about its origins, we joined a tour at the Bryggen Museum, built above the excavated foundations of the town’s first waterfront dwellings. Stay for both portions of the tour. The second half, the most interesting, we thought, goes through the excavated portions of the town’s 16th century row houses to show how the merchants lived and worked. Don’t miss the other attractions: the waterside fish and vegetable market, the restored Berghus Fortress and King Hakon’s Hall, with relics dating from about 1250; and the waterfront houses and shops. If a half-day tour includes a ride up the mountain for an aerial view of the town and bay, jump on it. At the urging of friends, we saved time for a farewell pilgrimage to Troldhaugen (“the Trolls House”), Grieg’s country retreat. This spacious house, where he and his wife, a singer, spent their last years, overlooks a lake outside Bergen, surrounded by a green lawn and quiet garden.
The piano, which Grieg played when the couple entertained, is touted as the highlight of the tour. But it was their everyday things—the Victorian sofas, lace dresser covers, mixing bowls, plates, thumbed music on the piano and the family photographs—that gave me a sense of a man finally at rest. Not long ago the Grieg Foundation built a hall at the end of the rear garden, where recitals and chamber concerts perform year around. In summer, musical events are held here almost daily, a fitting way, we thought, to come full circle.

Audi takes Q5 to next level of CUV luxury Audi aims at being industry’s luxury leader by 2020. Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

engines and a hybrid. Shown is the SQ5, the first S Line Audi powered by a diesel that won’t be sold here. However, a direct injection diesel version in the future is possible.
The 2013 Q5 is the latest salvo in Audi’s stated strategic plan to become the world’s leading luxury vehicle maker by 2020. Along with leading-edge technologies, Audi premium features will bring “added content” value when prices are announced in October which are expected to be just a tad higher than the current model. So expect the 2013 Q5 to start around $42,000$43,000 which makes it super competitive with BMW X3 and MercedesBenz GLK.
In Canada we will get two gasoline versions and a hybrid. But the big news is a diesel is finally coming, the only question is when. The Q5 marks the world premiere of Audi’s latest 2.0-litre four-cylinder TFSI engine featuring variable valve control, direct and “indirect” fuel injection system and integration of the exhaust manifold into the cylinder head. Another innovation is the “thermal management” system that heats up engine oil faster and also regulates coolant temperature between 85 C to 107 C for optimum thermodynamic efficiency. In the Q5, the 2.0-litre produces 225 hp and 258

Engines to choose from Audi from A1 lb/ft of torque and fuel consumption of 7.6L/100 km on the European combined cycle test. With a top speed of 222 km/h, it goes from 0-100 km/h in 7.1 seconds The supercharged 3.0-litre TFSI engine is also new to the Q5, and replaces the naturally aspirated 3.2-litre FSI. It is rated at 272 hp and 295 lb/ft of torque giving it a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.9-seconds, a top speed of 234 km/h and combined Euro fuel rating of 8.5L/100 km/h. In Canada a sevenspeed dual-clutch automatic is standard for the 3.0 TFSI quattro. Standard transmission on the
2.0-litre is an eight-speed automatic. The hybrid starts with the 2.0-litre in this case developing 211 hp plus a 54 hp electric motor for combined power of 245 hp and 354 lb/ft of torque. With a 0-100 km/h time of 7.1 seconds, combined fuel consumption is rated at 6.9L/100 km/h. It can travel up to 3.0 km on electric power alone with a 100 km/h all-electric top speed. Standard on all versions is stop/start which Audi estimates saves 0.3L/100 km. For 2013, all transmissions have wide gear spreads. The idea is long gear ratios on the upper gears help reduce fuel consumption, while the
short gear ratios of the lower gears optimize ingear response. Audiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quattro permanent all-wheel drive system is standard In normal operation, a centre differential divides torque 40 per cent to the front and 60 per cent to the rear. But as surface and driving conditions change, the torque vectoring system further enhances the feeling of reassurance and control it imparts with finely tuned brake interventions. The five-link front and trapezoidal-link rear suspension has been reworked with changes to the spring, shock absorber and anti-roll bar settings.

reach and understand and not a stitch out of place or an off kilter shut line to be seen. The controls have real chrome surrounds and the centre console is finished in a high-gloss black. There is a choice of three interior colours. I did not drive the 3.0-litre but I did spend time with the new topline model, SQ5 TDI that Audi simply must bring to this country. In a word, it’s a stunner. It is the first S-Line vehicle from Audi with a diesel engine. Its 3.0-litre TDI pumps out 313 hp and an amazing 479 lb/ft of torque. We did that real world 80-100 km/h passing test in just 3.9 seconds. Not only does it have Audi’s drive select multiple choice performance modes but “sound actuators” that take the muffled exhaust note of a turbo diesel and replaces it with a rumbling roar. The word from Audi Canada is we will get a diesel but the SQ5 is not on the cards. Folks, I’ve heard that one before. With the BMW X3 M coming and no doubt a counter from Mercedes AMG for the GLK, the SQ5 is a must for this side of the pond. It may be a luxury CUV but the Q5 can rough it if required with a maximum climbing angle of 31 degrees. The vehicle’s approach and departure angles are each 25 degrees while its ramp angle is 17 degrees. Ground clearance is 20 cm and streamfording depth is 50 cm. In terms of cargo, the angles of the 60:40 split rear seat can be adjusted or folded with the remote seatback release. It also travels back and forth 100 mm for easier access or
stowage. That increased cargo volume from 540 litres behind the seat to 1,560 litres folded. Hurrah for Audi for making its MMI (Multi Media Information) system the simplest to use yet with only four buttons
(Nav, Tel, Radio, Media) instead of multi-directional-multi angle click/tilt wheels like other manufacturers. The way Audi keeps upgrading, enhancing and re-thinking its cars and trucks is a case study on
how to run a car company. Take a spin in the new Q5 when it gets here and you’ll see why Audi keeps gaining conquest buyers and market share.

Volkswagen Beetle more macho in 2012 Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR
Is there a more distinctive car on the road than the Volkswagen Beetle? Even the redesigned 2012 Beetle is every bit as identifiable as the iconic Beetles of the ’60s and ’70s. This time around, designers set out to give the third-generation model a more masculine look in an attempt to overcome the ‘chick car’ reputation
CONTRIBUTED
THE 2012 BEETLE is longer, wider and lower than the second generation, but there’s no mistaking it for anything but a Volkswagen Beetle. The Sportline model has 18-inch Twister alloy wheels, covering bright red brake calipers.

I A D N U Y H NTAGE
THE
that the New Beetle had developed during its run from 1998 to 2010. It appears they succeeded, based on the number of positive comments I got from both men and women during a recent week with a very attractive 2012 Reef Blue Metallic Sportline Beetle. Though not the volume leader that the original Bug was for Volkswagen, when it sold more than 21 million copies between 1938 and 2003, the Beetle continues to sell in solid numbers here in Canada with 1,230 units delivered through the first six months of the calendar year. As my Metroland colleague Jim Robinson noted during his First Drive story on the 2012 VW Beetle, ≥updated versions of iconic cars not only have to look similar to the original, but the spirit of the car has to be there, too. So, in bringing out the 2012 Beetle, two major issues had to be addressed ã the look and the image.≤ This new Beetle looks more planted to the ground and is longer, wider and shorter than the previous model. Comfort and stowage issues have been addressed so that now the back seat is much more user-friendly with a decent amount of headroom. Ingress and egress is still a bit difficult, however, due to the coupe design. Meanwhile, the trunk now has cargo space of 426 litres, jumping to 850 litres with the 50/50 split/fold rear seats down. As far as image is concerned, the exterior design has a more masculine look and the little vase and plastic flower affixed to the dash in the previous generation is now part of Volkswagen history. My Sportline-trim tester came with 200 hp 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, linked to a six-speed dual clutch (DSG) automatic transmission with steering wheel mounted pad-
j
dle shifters. The Comfortline and Highline models get a 2.5-litre inline fivecylinder engine (170 hp, 177 lb/ft of torque). Standard on the Comfortline and Highline is a five-speed manual transmission with a six-speed automatic with Tiptronic and Sport Mode optional. Prices start at $21,975 for the Comfortline manual and $24,225 for the Highline manual ($25,625 for the Highline automatic). The Sportline is $29,025 for the manual and $30,425 for the DSG automatic. Freight and PDI add $1,365. Limited edition Premiere and Premiere+ models are also available during the 2012 launch year. A total of 600 of these will be offered, priced at $24,475 and $26,575 respectively. The Premiere models come only with the automatic transmission. My tester also had the $1,290 Technology Package, which includes a 400watt Fender premium audio system and a touch screen navigation system. The $675 Connectivity Package features a media device interface with iPad and BlueTooth mobile phone connectivity. All in, the car priced out at $32,390 plus taxes. The Sportline, as the name suggests, has a sporty look with 18-inch alloy wheels covering bright red brake calipers.

Subaru updates Outback and Legacy for 2013 New face, new powertrain highlights of Subaru refresh. Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR
Subaru is proud to be different. As Ted Lalka, Canadian vice-president of product planning and marketing puts it, Subaru is “an attractive alternative to the mainstream brands.” What makes the Japanese automaker different? For one, all of its models come standard with Subaru’s acclaimed symmetrical all-wheel drive system. And, being a relatively small automaker, Subaru is able to do a lot with a little, spinning several models off the same platform. An example is the 2013 Subaru Outback and Legacy models, both very successful vehicles with combined sales of about 10,000 units a year (about 70 per cent Outback) in Canada last year. The mid-size Legacy sedan and the Out-
back crossover SUV that combines car-like handling and SUV versatility have undergone extensive changes for 2013— the first major facelifts for them since the last full model change in 2010. Chief among the updates is a more powerful and more fuel-efficient power plant—a 2.5-litre DOHC boxer four-cylinder engine that replaces a SOHC 2.5-litre boxer four-cylinder. Power jumps to 173 hp from 170 and torque rises to 174 lb/ft from 170. Combined with a new CVT transmission, the Outback now accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds and the Legacy in 9.3 seconds compared with 10.2 and 9.5 seconds respectively in the outgoing models. Meanwhile, fuel economy has been improved eight per cent across the board, with the Outback now rated at 8.6/6.5L/100 km city/hwy and the Legacy 8.4/6.0L.100 km city/ hwy with the CVT. The Legacy is also offered with a six-speed manual transmission on the Base and Tour-
ing trims, while the toplevel Limited gets a fivespeed automatic, paired with either the 2.5-litre four banger or a 256 hp 3.6-litre boxer six-cylinder engine. Prices start at $23,495 for the Base model with manual transmission, down $500 from last year. Add $1,300 for the CVT. At the top end, a Limited-trim Legacy with the EyeSight driver assistance system (more about that later) is priced at $36,195. The Outback starts at $28,495 for the 2.5i Convenience with six-speed manual or $29,795 for the automatic. At the top trim level, an Outback Limited with the 3.6-litre engine and EyeSight option is priced at $39,995. On the styling front, the Legacy has a stronger, sharper look while the Outback has a more aggressive appearance. All this results from new headlight, grille and front bumper re-dos. Inside, both models have a higher quality feel with new seat fabric and wood trim elements available. Drivability of both vehicles has also been im-

proved through increased body stiffness and chassis improvements, resulting in reduced body roll, better handling and ride quality. Subaru says body roll has been reduced 40 per cent on the Outback and ride comfort is now on par with sedans like the Hon-
da Accord, Hyundai Sonata and Toyota Camry thanks to suspension tuning and additional body reinforcement. In addition, the Outback has 220 mm of ground clearance if you have a need to do any off-road driving or travel rough cottage trails.

During a brief rideand-drive, we had an opportunity to take a 2.5i Outback as well as a 3.6R Outback out for short jaunts. The 3.6R was a Limited trim level with the EyeSight option and it was noticeably quieter and peppier than the
four-cylinder model with the continuously variable transmission, which exhibited the familiar whine and high rev level that is common with CVTs. We didn’t venture off city streets or high-speed

Excellent in emergencies Subaru from A6
CONTRIBUTED
THE INTERIOR of the 2013 Outback has been upgraded for 2013 with new, more sophisticated seat fabric along with new wood accents in the uplevel models.
highways enough to really judge the handling, but testing of the new models by Consumer Reports magazine ranks both the Legacy and Outback at the top of the list with â&#x20AC;&#x153;excellentâ&#x20AC;? ratings in an emergency-handling maneuver. Subaru says floor vibration tests show the ride quality of the new Outback is now on par
with the Legacy sedan. From my brief time in the vehicles, I can say that the ride level certainly was comfortable and the interiors are a step ahead of previous models. The 2013 Outback also gets a 5 Star crash test rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) in the U.S. Subaru is offering its new EyeSight driver assistance option only on
Limited trim models of the Legacy and Outback for 2013. It will be rolled out in other models in the future. Subaru says the system assists the driver in making decisions for more safe and comfortable driving and to reduce driver fatigue. The EyeSight feature has shown to have a high â&#x20AC;&#x153;take rateâ&#x20AC;? in Japan

MOTORING Subaru from A8
since its introduction there in 2010 as it now reprefsents more than 90 per kcent of total sales in recent months. In short, the system uses twin stereo cameras rmounted on either side of rthe rearview mirror to provide a suite of driver assist functions including: • pre-collision braking • pre-collision brake assist • pre-collision throttle management •adaptive cruise control • lane departure warning • lane sway warning • lead vehicle start alert. The characteristics of the camera views are similar to the human eye in that they recognize objects, while other similar vehicle systems that use radar simply detect them without differentiating between vehicles and pedestrians, for example. The cameras do have a limited range and cannot detect vehicles coming from, say, cross streets and will not work in poor lighting conditions or at night. We were given an opportunity to test the EyeSight system in a closed environment and it does work well. For example, when the probability of a rear-end collision is very high, a “beep…beep… beep noise” is sounded and maximum deceleration is automatically applied to avoid a collision or at least reduce the severity. The system first activates braking and if the driver depresses the brake pedal, EyeSight determines that this is emergency braking and activates braking assist. In our test we drove toward a barrier at 30 km/h, took our foot off the accelerator at a predetermined point, steered straight ahead and the let the system do its job. In all cases, it stopped just before the barrier. Pre-collision throttle control comes into play when an object is detected in front of the vehicle. If the system determines that the accelerator pedal is depressed more than the necessary amount, EyeSight restricts engine output to ensure the start is slow and gradual to allow the driver time to react and brake. Adaptive speed control maintains a preset distance behind the vehicle ahead, while lane departure warns the driver that the vehicle is about to leave the designated lane. A lane sway warning is issued when the system detects the driver is tired,

not concentrating on the road or not paying attention to driving by analyzing driving data from the previous several minutes. Lead vehicle start alert lets out a beep when the vehicle ahead pulls away. The EyeSight driv-
er support system comes with a special information display screen in front of the driver in the meter cluster. The 2013 Outback is on sale now, the Legacy in August.

Passed away peacefully at the age of 88 on July 22, 2012 at the Central Okanagan Hospice House. Predeceased by husband, Hans of fifty years and her youngest sister, Lisa Dolling. Survived by son, Norman (Lynn); grandchildren, Julie and Jennifer and great grandson, Bentley. Hildegard is also survived by brother, Gerhard Wunderlich and sister, Annerose Ghetto. Hildegard was born in Eichigt, Germany on July 7, 1924. She married Hans in 1949 and together they immigrated to Canada in 1953 where they lived in Prince George for twenty years. In 1973, the family moved to Kelowna where Hildegard continued to work for “The Bay” until she retired in the mid 1980’s. Her life was filled with a passion for gardening, walking around the beautiful area where she lived, snow skiing, taking the odd trip back to Germany and visiting with her many friends. Special thanks to the doctors and nurses at KGH, and to the nurses and volunteers at Hospice. Cremation arrangements are in care of Everden Rust Funeral Services, (250) 860-6440. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.everdenrust.com

Incorporating a big screen TV into your home When designing your living space, one of the crucial decisions is where to put your TV and what size to purchase. With the trend toward big screen televisions in the home, these decisions are even more important. According to a recent Angus Reid survey on Canadian television preferences, almost one quarter—24 per cent—of Canadians say a bigger size is the most important feature they’re looking for in a new TV. So how to incorporate and still have your room look great? Here are some tips to follow:
• Evaluate your space to choose the right size television. You don’t need a large area for a big TV. Advances in technology mean pixels are less visible in a high definition television, so you can sit closer and enjoy an immersive experience. Experts recommend sitting 1.5 times the diagonal length of your TV away from the screen. For example, an 80-inch TV requires only 10 feet of viewing distance. • Integrate your big screen into the décor. Make the wall you place it on a feature wall using high-impact paint colours and textures. Choose bold, statement furniture pieces that

Choose black accents and accessories that play up today’s beautiful sleek screens, helping them to blend in with the room. • Add a splash of colour.

Understanding the role of a mortgage broker
T
here are many misconceptions as to what exactly mortgage specialists do. When mortgage brokers first came on the scene, they were usually the last choice for someone to seek out to acquire financing for their home purchase. But over time since then, things have changed as mortgage brokers are now a larger presence in the real estate industry. Below are points to help clarify what your ex-
pectations of a mortgage broker can do: 1) Deal with major financial institutions, credit unions and non-bank institutions. 2) Able to acquire the best rates possible on fixed rate, closed mortgages up to 10 years and variable rate mortgages and credit lines at the lowest rates. 3) Do only one credit check thereby protecting your credit score; if you do your own shopping for the best mortgage and rates at various financial insti-
tutions, you could incur more than one credit check which will adversely affect your credit score. 4) Can do refinances, equity take outs, consolidation mortgages to pay out personal debts to give a client one lower payment; 5) Set up a home equity credit line for those investment purchases, renovations and to provide revolving credit for future borrowing. 6) Arrange financing for up to 75 per cent of the value of the land when
building a new home. 7) On conventional and high ratio mortgages, mortgage brokers are paid by the financial institution. 8) Work hours are flexible, not locked in to a ‘9 to 5’ day. 14.) Can search for alternative financing if your credit has been damaged. 15.) Arrange for a 120day window on a mortgage rate for a pre-approval mortgage. We hope the above examples give you better insight as to what we can do
for you when it comes to mortgage financing.

n July 9, 2012 four new mortgage rules were put into place, but many questions remain about how the changes will impact the home buying market. Will they hinder buyers from having an opportunity to purchase a property? Or will these new rules save us from ourselves to avoid taking on substantial debt? In January 2012, REAL ESTATE federal Finance RUNDOWN Minister Jim Flaherty stated his government’s concern regarding our $600 billion mortinsurance cap, Ceinwen gage as it was dangerousMorgan ly approaching that mark being then at $541 billion. With interest rates at all-time low, the financial burden of those low interest rates rising could be astronomical and damaging to our economy. Recently, I have spoken with a few first-time home buyers and their common concern is the fear of the maximum amortization period being adjusted from 30 years to 25 and the effect that it will have on what they can afford. On average, the difference will be $200 to $300 for the average household on a monthly mortgage payment. That is a substantial amount and could be the deciding factor for some to buy as opposed to continuing to rent. Bear in mind that it was only a few years ago borrowers were being allowed 40 years to pay off their debt. However, there are always two sides to every coin. These changes to the mortgage rules were not put into place to punish us or to hinder economical growth, but to do the exact opposite. While the average first-time home buyer may not be able to buy everything on his or her ‘wish list’ the first time around, buying what is affordable now makes more sense in not taking on too much debt too quickly. In such a delicate time why would anyone want to risk so much with every little certainty. Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.
