ife, healing, sunlight, nature, art and the human spirit. Above are six things that everyone can relate to, six items of importance for most members of society. They are also the six things represented by the rainbow flag, which has been flown proudly throughout Kelowna for the past six days. One of those flags is perched atop City Hall, symbolizing the Okanagan’s evolving inclusivity.

The building houses the office of Mayor Walter Gray who was once condemned by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal for not including the word “pride” in a requested proclamation for Lesbian and Gay Pride Day during his first term as mayor in 1997. But time has the ability to change people, and attitudes. This year, Gray proclaimed Aug. 12 to 19 Pride Week in Kelowna. Tomorrow, the mayor will read that proclamation at the Pride Family Festival Day and Picnic at Mission Creek Park. And hundreds of people with a range of sexual orientations will listen, proudly.

CLOSE-UP

A growing sense of pride

Pride from A1 “I think as a society we’ve grown up,” says Gray. “Fifteen years ago it was absolutely verboten that there would be samesex marriages…15 years ago there was incredible community support for my position.” Gray admits his 1997 decision to exclude the word “pride” from a proposed proclamation for Lesbian and Gay Pride Day was discriminatory, but suggests he never held negative feelings toward the lesbian-gay-bisexualtransgender community. “I’ve always been very much live and let live; I believe in a diverse community.” The Kelowna mayor says the “new breed” of Okanagan Rainbow Coalition executives has less self-interest and is more focused on the community than those in charge of the coalition in the 1990s. “They want to broaden the whole purpose and make it about diversity. “They’re not looking for anything for themselves, they’re simply looking for equal treatment for all. And I subscribe to that. “That wasn’t the pos-

ture of the Rainbow Coalition 15 years ago.” Raymond Koehler is the current vice-president of the Okanagan Rainbow Coalition. He says the fact Gray signed the Pride proclamation this year is “a big deal for humanity.” “We’re talking about a common ground that we’ve found, which I think touches everybody—that common ground is equal human rights for everybody,” says Koehler. “We’re so grateful the community is coming out and supporting us the way they are. This is our biggest Pride ever and it looks like it’s going to be the most successful.” Although Koehler has only lived in the Okanagan for about three years, he has seen a similar evolution in acceptance toward the LGBT community in other towns and cities. The Okanagan Rainbow Coalition vicepresident laughs as he talks about his days living in Castlegar, when he and his partner “were the entire gay community.” “The world is changing. Castlegar is having its first Pride event this year, which was unheard of in the days when

pecially concerned about young local members of the LGBT community. “Youth suicide is absolutely unacceptable… homophobia and harassment in the schools is a huge issue for the Rainbow Coalition. “An event like Pride Week, being so big this year, sort of sends a signal that says, “Kid, you’re OK and it’s going to be OK. It really does get better.’” The Okanagan Rainbow Coalition is a nonprofit organization, which works to advance the cause of human rights for everybody. Its mission is to provide a non-judgemental community focused on integrity, empathy and compassion for those who are in need. Koehler believes the success of Pride Week 2012 will have a direct impact on the coalition’s success going forward. “By having a strong Pride event, it just means we’re going to have a stronger Rainbow Coalition this year. “We can do more work in the schools, we can do more work with the churches, we can do more work with community groups.” For Koehler, this week

has already supplied a handful of special moments. “When we had our coffee house at the Pride Centre on Water Street (Monday) night, an elderly couple came by the door. It was one of those couples that reminds you of your grandparents. “They came in and said, ‘We just want to thank you for doing what you’re doing. We support you 100 per cent.’ I was so proud; I gave them two little Pride flags to take with them.” Another moment that brought Koehler to tears was the generosity of a Pride Week performer. Amy Bishop’s voice filled the air in the First United Church on Bernard Avenue Tuesday night. She has collaborated with Moby, opened for April Wine and been featured on the main stage at the Canmore Folk Music Festival. But Tuesday, it was the words she spoke that were the sweetest sound in Koehler’s ears. “Our fee arrangement with her was that we were going to split the box office (sales). She an-

Kelowna’s ‘evolution of acceptance’ hailed Pride from A3 nounced (Tuesday) night she would be donating her fee to the Okanagan Rainbow Coalition to support the struggle for human rights. “It’s just mind-blowing; that’s the kind of response we’ve been getting.” During the intermission of her performance Tuesday, Bishop explains her gesture felt like the right thing to do.

“I feel I’m enveloped in acceptance; playing events like this just make me feel like I belong,” says Bishop. “When I was younger, that’s what I strove for. It’s nice when you can immerse yourself in that sort of thing. “I guess that might be one of the reasons I decided to donate the box office sales: I want these types of events to continue.” The Calgary native says she’s happy how ac-

ceptance of the LGBT community has increased over the years. “There have been major strides. The fact gays and lesbians can be married in Canada, that’s a major stride. People are still struggling for that just south of the border. “I was bashed when I was about 19-years-old, but I don’t fear that anymore. I feel people are becoming more used to diversity—it’s not assumed people are going to fit into

So it was a good medium to be dealing with as a startup to Pride.” He says as far as he’s aware, this is the first queer arts exhibition Kelowna has hosted. Jesuino adds people often think of the heterosexual crowd as the group responsible for being accepting, but the LGBT community also needs to accept itself. “There are a lot of people in the Okanagan

who consider themselves discreet. They don’t want it to be out there. “But the gay community is sort of changing and accepting in itself. It’s growing to become a community (that) actually supports each other.” Wilbur Turner, cochair of Pride Week, says the corporate world’s relationship with the LGBT community is also growing. Approximately 50 corporate partners are supporting Pride Week this year: Nearly four times more than last year. “We’ve got this momentum and we will be actively working on next year’s plans as soon as this is wrapped up,” says Turner. “This year we didn’t get started until February, so next year is going to have more planning going into it.” He says Pride Week is a fun event for those involved; however, the true purpose of the celebration is deeper. “There is a party element, but it’s about celebrating diversity and helping people realize you can be gay and have a great life as part of the community.” Perhaps that’s why seeing the rainbow flag wave above City Hall is one of Turner’s favourite parts of the week. “It’s significant for the community at large, not just the gay and lesbian community, but for the Kelowna community. It is an inclusive flag, it includes everybody— whether you’re gay or straight.” Koehler encourages residents to drive by City Hall to see the flag, which is there to represent everyone. “I think it’s a great symbol Kelowna is a safe, inclusive place to be.” wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ PLANE

▼ PROTECT HUMAN LIFE WEEK

Crash claims Right to Life flag not approved says city hall second life Dan Ferguson CONTRIBUTOR

A second person has died as a result of this week’s small plane crash near Brenda Mines, west of Peachland. Twenty-four-year-old Lauren Patricia Sewell, a Vancouver resident originally from South Surrey, died as a result of the injuries she sustained when the plane went down Monday afternoon. B.C.’s chief coroner announced Thursday morning that Sewell died in hospital the day after a four-seat Piper Twin Commanche crashed. She was the girlfriend of 30-year-old Jayson Dallas Wesley Smith, who was pronounced dead at the scene. Smith was also a Vancouver resident who grew up in the White Rock area. Two survivors of the crash reportedly remain in hospitals in Kamloops and Vancouver in critical condition. Their identities have not been released. According to an employee of the company listed as a registered owner of the airplane, Maplewood Landscaping in Delta, one of the survivors is a family member of one of the business owners. In her Thursday statement, chief coroner Lisa Lapointe said that with the consent of her family, Sewell was an organ donor. “The BC Coroners Service commends the family for the generosity of their decision in a time of immense grief,” Lapointe said. Friends of Smith and Sewell said the two became a couple after Smith returned from a nearly year-long trip around the world in 2011. Alexis Bennett, a longtime friend of Smith, described Sewell a “supernice girl.” “She was a good fit for Dallas because she was so calm and centered.” When Smith turned 30 on June 30, Sewell bought him flying lessons as a birthday present. It isn’t clear whether the flight they were on was part of the package she purchased. Sewell attended Elgin Park Secondary school in South Surrey, while Smith

went to Semiahmoo Secondary. Even though each moved to Vancouver after finishing high school, they made regular trips back to the Peninsula, friends said. On Tuesday, friends held an informal memorial get-together for Smith, remembered as an avid outdoorsman and traveller who possessed great personal charm. The plane’s wreckage was removed from the site and the next phase is a detailed examination of the evidence, said Bill Yearwood of the Transportation Safety Board. There will be lots to sift through, as all parts of the plane have been accounted for. That’s not always the case with crashes of this kind, explainedYearwood, as the plane had a full tank of gas and the force of impact could easily have sparked an evidence-destroying fire, as was the case with the floatplane crash in the same area four months ago. He also noted the plane was found in a treed area not far from a large clearing up on the Brenda Mines site, but there’s too little information at this time to determine what the pilot was trying to do. Getting an answer to that question may require public participation. “We’re hoping to find people who may have seen the flight go down,” said Yearwood. “We only have one person who thinks they may have seen the flight in its last moments.” The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Victoria was first notified that the flight had gone down around 3 p.m. when an emergency beacon was triggered by the impact. The pilot had not placed a distress call. A Buffalo search and rescue plane located the crash site by 5 p.m. Rescuers parachuted into the scene a few kilometres beyond the Brenda Mines turnoff to find the plane in pieces and only one person still conscious.

It appears Kelowna Right To Life jumped the gun in announcing its flag has been approved to fly over Kelowna City Hall during Protect Human Life Week next month. According to the city, approval to fly the flag has not yet been granted and a

new-look flag, only presented to the city for approval Thursday, must still be vetted. The city had insisted Kelowna Right To Life remove the words “From Conception To Natural Death” from the first flag the group submitted be-

issue a proclamation for Protect Human Life Week in late September. In a release issued by KRTF Wednesday, the group said when it agreed to remove the words from the flag, the city agreed to fly the new-look flag. But city spokesman

Tom Wilson said Thursday the re-presented flag still has some wording on it. He would not divulge what the words are. He said the new flag will be considered and a decision is expected to be made about the flag flying request by next week.

NEWS ▼ ZIMMER

Coroner’s inquest finds in-custody death was accidental Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Brandt Jason Zimmer’s in-custody death two years ago this week was an accident, although Kelowna emergency ser-

vices workers will now be expected to take a bit more training to reduce the likelihood of a similar outcome in the future. The three-day coroner’s inquest into the fatal interaction concluded

Wednesday, finding that Zimmer, 40, died from a cardiac arrest, brought on by a cocaine/morphine overdose. Excited delirium was another contributing factor.

Public Notice

Although the death was considered accidental, the jury recommended that B.C. Ambulance Service workers get further training to enable them to recognize best medical practices for patients in a state of agitated delirium or drug psychosis. Commanding officers in the RCMP should also take further training, said the jury, recom-

mending they take an online training component of the provincial crisis intervention and de-escalation training by June 30. 2013. Zimmer came in contact with ambulance attendants and police Aug. 15, 2010, after he entered the Malibu Grand Prix family fun centre on Stremel Road, wearing only his underwear.

Centre employees called police, saying he appeared delirious, was frothing at the mouth and was yelling at customers. RCMP arrested Zimmer and took him to KGH, where he died, just after 3 p.m. the same day. It was because Zimmer died while in police custody that the Central Saanich Police were called in to complete an

independent review of the local police actions. The investigation determined the Kelowna RCMP officers were clear of any wrong-doing, however, the coroner’s inquest was held to gather recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances in the future.

Homeowners have one month remaining to take advantage of the amnesty period for the legalization of secondary suits in West Kelowna. During the amnesty period, a $125 registration fee for the registration of secondary suites is being

waved. The amnesty conditions do not exempt bylaw enforcement action with respect to illegal suites. The amnesty period is scheduled to expire on Sept. 14. Council originally adopted zoning bylaw amendments on Sept. 14, 2010, allowing secondary suites as a permitted use

in most residential zones. Council opted to create a one-year amnesty period during which no registration fee would be charged. A year later, council chose to extend the amnesty period by a further 12 months. In September, DWK staff will provide council with an update on the municipality’s initiatives to

legalize secondary suites and seek direction going forward. Questions regarding the amnesty period or the secondary suite legalization process should be directed to the Building Inspections Department at 778-797-8820. For more information on secondary suites, visit districtofwestkelowna.ca.

Campfires now bannedrthroughout tCentral Okanagan Starting today, campfires will be banned throughout the entire Central Okanagan. The ban takes effect at noon Friday and coincides with a similar action announced by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations across the Kamloops Fire Centre area, within B.C. parks, Crown and on private lands. The ban will remain in effect until further notice. As a result of extremely dry conditions and an extended period of hot, dry weather, local fire chiefs have decided to implement the total ban on campfires within all local government jurisdictions of the Central Okanagan Regional District. That includes the City of Kelowna, the District of West Kelowna, the District of Lake Country, the District of Peachland, as well as the Central Okanagan East and West electoral areas. Open burning has not been allowed within any jurisdiction of the regional district and member municipalities since April. Local bylaws also prohibit the use of any fireworks at any time throughout the Central Okanagan.

To the editor: Re: Our Pets Have a Way of Getting Wrapped Around Our Hearts, Aug. 7 Capital News. Thank you to Charlie Hodge for sharing his story on his loss of TeddyBear. I read it and it wasn’t long into it that and I was reading through tear-filled eyes. I too lost my best friend back in late June. Her name was Ginger, a beautiful red cocker spaniel. To me she was also the queen of all dogs. I hope Charlie won’t mind letting TeddyBear share her title. I loved Ginger more than anything else in this world, and I know exactly what you meant Charlie, when you said it was hard to come home from work and not have her there wagging her tail, anxious to see you. For me it was Ginger putting her nose under the yard gate and I would see it as I drove into the driveway. She slept on a oversized dog pillow beside me on the floor. She loved to go for walks and chase her bright orange ball, and bring it back to

Are plastic bags really still necessary in 2012?

national newspaper columnist recently wrote that “banning plastic bags will do exactly nothing to save the planet.” She went on to argue that they’re even environmentally friendly. Outright bans may not be the best solution, but plastic bags pose a big problem that must be addressed. The columnist appeared to be more interested in contrarianism for its own sake than in acknowledging the environmental harm these products cause. Plastic bags are bad and for the most part unnecessary. Many of us older folks remember a time, only a few decades ago, when we didn’t have

them. Sure, they’re convenient, but is that an excuse to damage the environment and the life it supports? A University of British Columbia study David found that 93 per cent Suzuki of beached northern fulmars (migratory seabirds related to the albatross) had bellies full of plastic—a substantial increase from the last time they were tested, in 1980. Head researcher Stephanie Avery-Gomm told the Globe and Mail that one bird had 454 pieces of plastic in its stomach. Eating plastic can severely harm or kill birds, as well as the 260 other marine species, including turtles and fish, that we know eat or get entangled in the stuff.

SCIENCE MATTERS

It’s not just bags, of course. We humans have become dependent on plastic for a range of uses, from packaging to products. Reducing our use of plastic bags is an easy place to start getting our addiction under control. Canadians use between nine- and 15-billion plastic bags a year, enough to circle the Earth more than 55 times, according to the Greener Footprints website. (U.S. citizens use about 100 billion a year!) Few plastic bags are recycled. Most are used for a short time to carry groceries, and then maybe re-used as garbage bags or to wrap dog poop before ending up in the landfill or the ocean. Some people argue that, because they make up about one per cent of the volume of waste in landfills, we shouldn’t worry. But one per cent of the massive amounts of what’s in landfills

is a lot, especially since plastic doesn’t biodegrade. Because they’re lightweight, plastic bags are easily carried by wind and water. Besides accumulating in the ocean, they litter our streets and natural areas, often clogging drainage systems and contributing to flooding. They take at least 1,000 years to break down, and even then, they don’t biodegrade; rather, they fragment into smaller and smaller pieces, making them more likely to be eaten by marine and land animals. Plastic is also a petroleum product, so continued and increasing use of it accelerates the depletion of valuable fossil fuels. According to Greener Footprint, 8.7 plastic shopping bags contain

Attack needed quick follow-up by police To the editor: Police investigating swarming attack, Aug. 14 Capital News. Tuesday’s front page once again has a beautiful exposé on how our local police force works. Once again, visitors to our city have been brutally attacked in our downtown core, a mere block away from last March’s beating. Two young adults being responsible and walking back to their hotel are attacked and sent to KGH requiring facial reconstruction. RCMP spokesperson Cst. Kris Clark makes it sound like those two men

were at fault for being out at night. How can you “investigate” a serious crime when you are on vacation the next day as Const. Clark said? Is he serious when he states: “… say you don’t want to fight and get out.” It is hard to believe that the two men who were attacked were more inebriated than their attackers. Statements like that only fuel the drunken idiots who attacked them. “Avoid drinking to inebriation and avoid conflict if at all possible,” Const. Clark also states, implying that this attack was in

part the fault of the two men from Clearwater. There is no investigation. As quoted: “the investigation hasn’t gotten underway given that the police officer is on vacation.” So no, the headline should have read: “Police not investigating ‘swarming’ attack until vacation over.” Dan Nolan, Kelowna (Editor’s note: A clarification was published in the Aug. 16 Capital News that the investigating officer was not on vacation the next day, but was to be on his regular days off.)

▼ OLYMPICS

Replace arms race with foot race To the editor: If you want to play you have to pay. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) claims their motto is Faster, Higher, Stronger. T That might have been applicable in the old days, but the modern-day motto should be: If You Want to Play You Have to Pay. Many people must be wondering if the Olympic Games are worth the multi-billion dollar price tag. IOC officials think so. Corporate sponsors think so. Sport jocks think so.

Portly pom-pom waving politicians think so. Even couch potatoes think so. If Canadians want to immerse themselves in those fleeting feel-good moments of glorious patriotic medalling bliss, then taxpayers must be prepared to shell out big bucks to help our athletes. In spite of the outrageous expense, I prefer seeing young people participating in an Olympic foot race rather than in a military arms race. Lloyd Atkins, Vernon

Devoted pets give us unconditional love coming to a quick end. I lifted her into the car for the first time as she always loved car rides and couldn’t wait for me to open the door. It was the longest few blocks from the house that I had ever driven. I tried not to cry so she wouldn’t know how upset I was and I held her close to my heart as she drew her last breath and the doctor told me that she was gone. I begged her to forgive me, and told her that I would always love her and that she would never ever be forgotten. Weeks later I went and printed off four of the best pictures I had of her and my sister purchased a frame that would house all the shots together. It’s up on my living room wall. It’s still very hard to look at, though I have another dog as well. Her name is Winnie and although I’m fond of her, she doesn’t hold the special bond I had with Ginger because Ginger was a rescue dog from a puppy mill in Kamloops. When the SPCA called me saying they had all these small breeds ready for adoption, I went down and there was at least 20 or so dogs

all in one kennel together and Ginger was the only one that was huddled at the back of the kennel looking frightened and not barking or scratching at the kennel door. When our eyes met and she looked at me with those big brown eyes, I was smitten and I knew I would be taking her home with me. For almost a week she crawled on her belly towards you when you called her, and every time I would lovingly assure her everything would be alright from now on. I hope Ginger knows that she had a good life for 11 wonderful years and how much joy and enrichment she brought to my life. So Charlie, I just want to say I’m so sorry for your loss of TeddyBear and I know she brought you much joy as well. Here’s to both our queens of our world, and I truly believe that both Ginger and TeddyBear are waiting at the gate in heaven for us to come home so they can jump up on our knee and give us a big slurpy kiss. Anita Erisman, Kelowna

▼ ENVIRONMENT

Canadian’s plastic bags could circle Earth 55 times Suzuki from A8 enough embodied petroleum energy to drive a car one kilometre. Finding something to carry your groceries in is easy; inexpensive reusable bags come in a variety of materials and sizes. Many are small and light and can be carried in a purse or daypack. I carry one in my back pocket and have refused dozens of plastic bags as a result. Some people worry about bacteria and other contaminants that may accumulate in the bags, but you just need to wash them regularly. One of the bigger issues is what to put garbage in. Before the 1980s, no one used plastic bags

for groceries or garbage, nor did we have composting or recycling programs, so we know that plastic garbage bags aren’t entirely necessary. The first step is to reduce the amount of garbage we produce. In fact, there’s really no such thing as

garbage. It’s all resources, so we should more accurately refer to it as “waste”. Buying products with less packaging and reducing overall consumption of unnecessary goods is a start. Re-using, recycling, and composting also help you cut down what you send to the landfill. For the unavoidable waste, and the dog poop, use bio-compostable bags. Outright bans on plastic bags may not be the best solution, but education and incentives to get people to stop using them are necessary. If we have any hope of finding ways for seven billion people to live well on planet with finite resources, we have to learn to use our resources

efficiently. Plastic bags are neither efficient nor environmentally friendly. Written with contribu-

We played almost daily for 11 years until she got kidney disease and didn’t have the stamina left to bring me back the ball, but would still make the effort to trot after it, a few times. She went from 25 lbs down to 12.5 when she died and had no muscle mass left. t It was so gut wrenching to see her deteriorating like that. She was on a special diet for renal failure, and she hated it so I would cook her rice and ground beef to eat instead. But when even that was no longer an option she then was only eating a small handful of Cheerios I noticed she liked when I dropped some ron the floor. On the morning of June 22, I could see the whites of her big brown eyes were brown and rshe had a bad body odour coming from inside.

MP says gangs ‘out of control’ Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The rise in gang activity and the threat they pose to the community’s safety was a hot topic during a Kelowna roundtable event between government and business representatives. “Gangs are out of control in British Columbia,” said Ron Cannan, the MP for Kelowna-Lake Country, following the Wednesday afternoon meeting where his colleague, MP Kerry Lynne Findlay, the parliamentary secretary to the Minister of Justice compiled 20 pages of notes to take back to Ottawa.

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

BEACH BUILDERS…Natasha Heidebrecht and Quinn Shorter get set to build a sand castle at Kelowna’s Tub Boat Bay Thursday. With the weekend forecast being nothing but sun and hot temperatures, this scene is likely to be played out many times over the next few days.

Is pleased to recognize

“The RCMP are working very hard, but are very frustrated with the catchand-release system within our courts.” Cannan said the RCMP go to great lengths to gather all the information needed to press charges, but when the crown prosecutor doesn’t proceed there’s nothing to hold them accountable. “We need to ensure all levels of government are working together and there’s discussion among the different agencies,” he said. That said, the meeting that was billed as a chance for locals to voice their concerns on crime preven-

tion issues included federal representation, Mounties, various business groups and municipal politicians, but no provincial representatives were in attendance—despite their very important role. “With things like organized crime and medical marijuana…a lot of that falls within provincial jurisdiction and we transfer funds to our provincial partners,” he said. “We work with legislation to ensure a balanced approach, so there’s funding for prevention, treatment and enforcement and education.” Taking that tack could further reduce crime

rates, Cannan said, noting “some sectors of crime have dropped, but others have increased, such as domestic violence, violence against children and violent offenders.” Statistics Canada reported that the overall volume of crime has declined steadily since 1991, and dipped six per cent in 2011. That same year Canadian police services recorded two million Criminal Code incidents, which represents a drop of 110,000 incidents from 2010. There were declines in crime for most offences including homicide, sexual offences and drugs.

More municipal say in transit Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Mayor Walter Gray’s dream of a Kelowna, where houses no longer require a double garage may get a bit closer to reality if BC Transit takes the suggestions offered in an independent review released this week. “People in Victoria (at BC Transit) are only in the bus business, but we’re in the planning business and transportation is a key element in the overall strategy of operating an efficient city,” said Gray on the heels of the report where it was suggested that local elected officials get seats on the BC Transit board and have more

say on changes that affect their local service. Kelowna’s population in a number of neighbourhoods, Gray said, has reached a critical mass and transit services and bike lanes in those areas should already be lessening the demand for single occupancy vehicle infrastructure. But, the community at large could become even less car dependent if transit planning better dovetailed with community planning. It’s a possibility that’s less likely with BC Transit’s board being so far removed from city planners. Already they’ve made several poor decisions, he explained, pointing spe-

cially to the fact that the very popular H20 Centre and Capital News Centre were without a route for years, for no apparent reason—just that BC Transit didn’t know what was being missed. The idea that BC Transit will be made more open to community input was also well received by West Kelowna mayor Doug Findlater. “We’re pleased with the general direction of it…Kelowna regional transit is the second largest system in B.C. after Victoria, disregarding Translink and all of that. So we’re the second largest system and we’re not much smaller than Victoria. So collectively we

have a lot of expertise in this area where we think we could take a greater management role and not rely on BC Transit the way we do now. Whether we get there, we’ll have to wait and see.” Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom appointed a review team in March after complaints that the provincially appointed BC Transit board was making costly changes without consulting the communities whose fares and property taxes cover more than half the cost of transit service. The B.C. government pays 47 per cent of costs for BC Transit service in partnership with 58 local governments in B.C.

tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as if Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been dropped off on another planet. My plane arrived in Scotland on an early sun drenched day. My driver whisked me away to my new home away from home, in a land far, far away, in a 700-yearold castle nestled in the countryside. Having never been to a castle before, I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure what to expect. Not to mention that I had a month long wardrobe crisis beforehand. I mean really, what does one wear to a castle? Are corsets still in style? And then another worry peaked through my consciousness, even though I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to think it. Would there be ghosts there from days gone by who were disgruntled and desperately seeking asylum in some human body? As I meandered my way down the long halls to my bedroom in the east wing, I hoped that any unsettled spirits did not notice me. But there were no ghosts. However, the fire alarm did go off without provocation. Was that the ghosts trying to tell us something or was the smoke alarm just not working properly? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure. If a ghost was really trying to say something, Morse code might have been an easier method. The castle and the Scottish countryside were spectacular and were more beautiful than anything I could have imagined. Rolling green hills scattered with cattle, sheep and butterflies. Yes, in fact there were lots of butterflies. They even came to visit me in my room almost every night. At first, I felt a bit out of place and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if I could adjust to life in a castle, far away from my habit of needing to feel productive. In fact, the

EMOTIONAL RESCUE

Annie Hopper discomfort was so great that at one point I wondered if perhaps I should go home early and get back to work. But when I surrendered to embrace the experience for all that it was, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long to slow down and soon I felt very much at home in the castle. I quickly lost all track of time as one day melded into the next, often forgetting what day of the week it was. I met a diversified and wonderful group of people who had one thing in common. They were passionate about life. No big egos, just people doing what they can to make the world a better place. They were eager to share stories and were genuinely interested and curious about others â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the true sign of self-confidence. Many stories were shared, and at times we sat in silence, without the need to fill space. We ate, we drank, we listened, we danced, we laughed and we shared many moments of gratitude for the gifts life has to offer â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even throughout lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s adversities. Friendships were deepened and new ones were formed. Away from the dayto-day bustle of life, over 14 special days, there was an opening for something greater â&#x20AC;&#x201C; an opportunity to step into my dreams. A place where I could slow down and embrace the unique wonder of life in a magical place, far, far away. Annie Hopper is a limbic system rehabilitation specialist. www.dnrsystem.com

Benvoulin Church celebrates 120th ‘‘ Jennifer Smith

between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. there will be speeches, an art sale and entertainment; and on Sunday a Presbyterian minister will give a service. “Aside from weddings and concerts, this is one of the only times the church is open, so it’s a great way to see inside,” said Henry. The events are as follows:

STAFF REPORTER

It’s a 120th birthday party. Everyone is invited and the hosts are hoping people bring gifts of stories and memorabilia. Benvoulin Church, the building once slated to be the centre of town, marks its 120th birthday on Sept. 11 and, as such, The Central Okanagan Heritage Society is throwing a birthday bash for the entire community. “The other day I was in there for a concert and was looking around at how ornate it is and just thought, they must have had some good tools. How did they do this?” said Janice Henry, executive director of the Central Okanagan Heritage Society. The society currently looks after a number of heritage buildings and projects, but saving the little church once slated to be burned for fire fighters’ practice is what got the society underway. Every year near the anniversary of its opening, a church service is held and the hymn O God of Bethel sung, just as it was on opening day. Originally, it was a Presbyterian Church, Bethel Presbyterian, named for an the donor of the land’s Scottish home. George Grant Mckay owned vast tracts of land in the Benvoulin area where he figured the railway would eventually come to an end by the hotel and blacksmith shop, already on site at the top of Guisachan Road and what’s now Benvoulin.

ASIDE FROM WEDDINGS AND CONCERTS, THIS IS ONE OF THE ONLY TIMES THE CHURCH IS OPEN, SO IT’S A GREAT WAY TO SEE INSIDE. Janice Henry, Central Okanagan Heritage Society

Benvoulin is also a name pulled from the Mckay archives. “It’s a place along the Scottish coastline. When he donated the land for the church, meetings were held that dis-

cussed a far more elaborate scheme, according to a note in a diary belonging to Kelowna City Councillor Robert Hobson’s grandfather. The builder, W.H.

Raymer or Harry Raymer, the man who would become Kelowna’s first mayor, used wood from Eli Lequime’s sawmill in its construction to create a structure rife with complicated archways and detailing. And the history of the building is just as ornate. This past year the historical society compile a history of the structure

for the Virtual Museums of Canada Community Memory Project. Six story lines and 200 images will tell a portion of the church’s tale, but there is ever so much more. Allen Reid’s relatives, J.A.K. Reid and Gladys Hall, were married in the church which was by then renamed Benvoulin United Church, in 1929.

The poignant photo, saved by Reid, shows the happy couple just weeks before the 24-year-old groom was killed in a logging accident; his wife never remarried. This is the type of tidbit the society wouldn’t mind having others share; altogether, the celebration will encompass two days of events. On Saturday, Aug. 25

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ CD REVIEWS

Great Britain realizes her own Bieber in Connor Maynard CONNOR MAYNARD: CONTRAST (PARLOPHONE/ EMI) It seems like Great Britain wants a Justin Bieber type of pop artist just like Great Canada. Like Bieber, Connor Maynard posted cover songs on YouTube until Ne-Yo saw a version of his own song Beautiful Monster on line and contacted the young wannabe singing star to suggest some work together. Maynard soon went on to win the MTV U.K. show Brand New For 2012, beating out the likes of Lana Del Rey and Lianne La Havas for top spot. Hence this debut album that is very Bieberesque with plenty of puppy love pop music and a cadre of high profile guests such as Pharrell Williams, Rita Ora, The Invisible Men and the aforementioned Ne-Yo. This debut album hit the top of the album charts in Britain in the same week the Olympics ended (for trivia buffs) and it is starting to get no-

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell ticed on this side of the pond as well. The lead off single is the synth R&B tune Can’t Say No, co-written by Maynard, that is slick and super radio-friendly with the pithy lyrics: “some girls are naughty... making me sweat,” while the stickered feature track Vegas Girl is more of the same vanilla techno R&B with the catch phrase “shake it like you’re famous girl.” While Justin Bieber is aged 19 and who looks a couple of years younger, Maynard is actually aged 20 but looks many years younger than his actual chronology. The fine boned and callow Maynard offers up a touch of falsetto a la Prince on Pictures while stars such as Parrell help

out on the minor electro dub of Lift Off whereas Ne-Yo sings the second verse on the “nothing can stop us now” dynamics of Turn Around. In Britain his fans are known as Mayniacs but if you feel you too can not get enough of Connor M. this domestic CD version will get you bonus material once you push it into your laptop. C

BELLE STARR: THE BURNING OF ATLANTA (STARFISH ENT.) Belle Starr are a new country folk trio out of Canada made up of three very accomplished musicians in Stephanie Cadman, Kendel Carson and Miranda Mulholland. Cadman is an award winning PEI clog/step dancer as well as a fine singer. Carson has been a member of the Celtic rock band The Paperboys while she has also released a couple of very well received solo albums. Mulholland was a

member of The Mahones but she has since joined The Great Lake Swimmers while she has also embarked on this allgal trio where all three women are also excellent fiddle players. The group takes its name from the infamous late 1800s outlawess Belle Starr—the female Jesse James—as an inspiration for their independent spirit and innovative approach and this debut, five-song EP captures their alluring music very nicely. The group has already recorded a full-length album that will be released in the early new year but this five-song mini album is a tasty teaser for their upcoming long player. The ladies recorded all covers starting with Talking Heads’ This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) while most of the material is all Canadiana with solid takes of Fred Eaglesmith’s Summerlea, Oh Susanna’s Little White Lies and two-time Juno winner Jenny Whitley’s title song The Burn-

ing Of Atlanta. The feature song to my ears is the splendid cover of Dolly Parton’s Jolene that is built around a rhythm of Stephanie Cadman’s step dancing while the trio offers angelic harmonies and delightful fiddle fills that beguile throughout. This EP was also recorded at Blue Rodeo’s studio The Woodshed and Belle Starr seems to have soaked in many of the cool country rock vibes of the setting along with their great backing session folks such as Colin Cripps and Danny Michel on guitars. This is a lovely set of songs that will really set the table for their upcoming album and may make this beautifully packaged EP something of a collector’s item. Check out their website at bellestarr.ca to order and you just might want to check out these winsome ladies in their gorgeous summer dresses as well. B

MARCY PLAYGROUND: LUNCH, RECESS & DETENTION (EMI) Marcy Playground are on a tour with other ’90s bands such as Lit and The Gin Blossoms who have sort of gone by the wayside but are still in demand by their fans for concert action. As a result the group has released this generous 19-track, hour-plus disc of cover songs, b-sides, outtakes and soundtrack tunes. Most consider Marcy P as a one-hit wonder band but they were a little better than that as this disc proves, although their signature song Sex And Candy is offered here twice as a re-recording as well as a disco mix by some Australian fan. But as usual it is the interesting covers here that really sell this disc. Check out the sensitive, thoughtful and handsome takes of Neil Young’s The Needle & The Damage Done, Procol Harum’s A Whiter Shade Of Pale and Leonard Cohen’s Halle-

lujah that the band admits is over-exposed but they claim their take is better than that of Jeff Buckley. There are several outtakes especially from their album MP3 and Shapeshifter that are seeing the first light of day on this CD that old fans will want to check out. C+

LOVE AND THEFT: (RCA/SONY)

Love And Theft used to be an all-male country trio but one of the members quit, leaving songwriters Stephan Liles and Eric Gunderson as the two remaining main men. The group had significant success with their debut World Wide Open that hit the top 10 country charts and scored a minor W hit a couple of years ago. This sophomore release is purposely self titled to signify the line-up change and start afresh as this disc is almost certain to solidify Love And Theft as a bona fide

Likeable country album Mitchell from A16 household name (in country circles at least). This is a fresh sounding and likeable country album highlighted by smooth vocal harmonies and breezy songs about dancing under the stars with the preacher’s daughter leavened by whiskey and the beauty inherent in a pick up truck, as witnessed by the

lead off hit single Angel Eyes. The most controversy these lads enter into is with the lyric: “who’s got the Zig Zag, I got the Chong,” but it seems even liberalized good old boys are sparking up these days. Check out the Zac Brown meets Mellencamp of Amen and the beach country of Real Good Sign.

The most interesting song here is the funky country of Runnin’ Out Of Air that harkens back to the Eagles’ disco crossover One Of These Nights of the late ’70s. The goofy, novelty song Girls Love To Shake It is bound to light up country dance floors but it is the only misstep on an otherwise solid second outing. C+

If you train hard you can most likely do it. If you don’t, most likely you won’t be able to complete it.” The 30th Annual Apple goes all weekend long.

STAFF REPORTER

They’ve put in the hours of training and have taken part in several other triathlons this summer. This week they took part in a Kids of Steel triathlon camp to fully prepare for what could be the biggest triathlon of the year. And, come Saturday morning, siblings Olivia and Alex Baldassare will hit the waters of Okanagan Lake and the streets of Kelowna, taking part in Kids of Steel races as part of the 30th Annual Kelowna Apple Triathlon. “The Apple is definitely more intense than the other races I’ve done,” said Olivia, 14. “I think if it was my first one it might be overwhelming. But I feel like I’m ready.” Having taken part in some 20 triathlons since taking up the sport at the age of eight means Olivia has plenty of experience to lean on as she makes her way through the Kids of Steel races. The swim leg, she said, is the key to a good race. “The thing that everybody struggles with is the swim,” she said. “You can

the morning and the senior elite races at 11:30 a.m. for the females and 1:45 p.m. for the males. And the Baldassare family will be down there all weekend, either competing or watching. As far as results are concerned both Olivia and Alex say they are focussed on completing the event but would love to crack into the top 10 or 15 of their individual events. Like many triathletes, completing a triathlon is enough reward, according to Olivia. “It feels really good to complete it,” she said. “It’s hard to explain. You feel like you have done something really good. It doesn’t really matter what you did in the race, just that you finished it.” “It’s fun and hard work,” added Alex. “It’s fun to do them and all the hard work that you put into it pays off. You get to meet a whole lot of people too.” Mom and Dad aren’t left out of the mix either as Ron Baldassare will compete in the Age Group event and mom Kim, a marathon runner, will be on hand to cheer on the entire family.

Lalonde boosts confidence with Team B.C. International Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna basketball player Kiana Lalonde may have suffered a fracture in her leg as a member of Team B.C.’s Under-17 basketball team earlier this summer, but the KSS basketball player didn’t let that affect her summer hoops season. In fact, the injury may have helped Lalonde, 16, one of the youngest players, to make Team B.C.’s Under-17 team. Lalonde returned to action at the U-17 National Championships in Fredericton, N.B. last week and scored 11 points, including a critical three-pointer, to help Team B.C. defeat Quebec in the bronze medal match. “It was a fantastic experience,” said Lalonde this week. “Even though I had an injury, just being there and being able to see all the great players, it was almost inspirational for me. That’s the level that I want to get to.” Six weeks prior to the nationals, Lalonde suffered a fractured fibula near a growth plate in

her leg. She was in an air cast for four weeks and her first action back on the court was in the first game at the nationals. “At the start of the tournament I was kind of a wreck,” she said. “I was out of sorts. In the first game I was pretty nervous but every game I played I felt like it was coming back to me. I was just so glad that I could feel like I contributed. Sitting on the bench for two months was hard, knowing that I couldn’t do anything to help.” It may have been hard to sit on the bench and watch, but Lalonde used the time she was injured to her advantage. In the leadup to the Nationals she stayed with Team B.C., traveling to Vancouver to watch practices and joining the team on the bench during games. It gave her a new look at the game and helped her. “I think it did,” she said. “You get a different perspective because when I play I’m not really aware of what is around me. I’m really glad that I did that. It was worth it for me.” The bronze medal at

nationals was a solid result for Team B.C. Lalonde was one of five girls on the team that were 16-years-old and will likely form the nucleus of next year’s Team B.C. Under-17 squad that will take part in the Canada Games in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Lalonde says making the team this year was a big boost. “I think that my confidence has really improved being on Team B.C.,” she said. “It has really helped me believe in myself more because I had a great group of girls around me. Just being selected for the team helped me improve a lot.” Lalonde is now back home resting her injured leg and preparing for the next high school basketball season with the KSS Owls. Last year as a Grade 10 player she made the senior team and this year she says her leg will be 100 per cent by the time the Owls season comes around. And that’s good news for the Owls as they get set for another year of high school hoops. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Doege BCFC’s defensive player of week Another dominant performance along the defensive line has earned Steven Doege the B.C. Lions defensive player of the week award in the B.C. Football Conference. The Sun veteran made life miserable for the Broncos defense Saturday night in Kamloops as Okanagan rolled to a 35-7 victory. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound Kelowna product had three tackles, one assist, two sacks, a forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Doege has been practising during the week

1) defense will need to be at their best this Saturday when the club pays a visit to Nanaimo to take on the defending BCFC champion Vancouver Island Raiders (1-0-1). The Sun hasn’t won a game at Caledonia Park since the 2005 season. Kick off is 5 p.m. While Sun head coach Gavin Lake called last week’s tilt with Kamloops a must-win, by no means is he conceding this game to a club that has been virtually unbeatable at home. Despite heading to the Island with a roster consisting of 17 new start-

ers from 2011, Lake says his club is going into the game with the intention of shocking people and is capable of an upset. He isn’t concerned about facing an angry football team that might have been woken up last week by the Rams after a 31-31 tie between the teams. “It’s all about us. We just need to keep getting better,” Lake said on okanagansun.ca. “The last thing we should be doing is worrying about them and how their last game went. That’s maybe what teams

have done over the years. Worrying about Nanaimo hasn’t done anyone any favors has it? “They are going to come hard. Matt Blokker is going to prepare his team well but so are we,” Lake said. A major swim meet in Nanaimo has caused a shortage of hotel space in the city this weekend, so the Sun will travel to Surrey Friday where they’ll stay over night, then take the ferry Saturday morning. The team will practice at the B.C. Lions facility Friday.

Touch rugby goes centre stage this weekend as the two top adult teams compete at the Apple Bowl for the Dai Dobbs Trophy, emblematic of touch rugby supremacy in the Central Okanagan. Night Rider, a team comprised mostly of recent KSS graduates, went through the summer season undefeated in 10 league games and both playoff matches. They have good team speed and wear their opponents down with a high level of fitness. Their team includes Katja Birker and Liam Grogan, CORE rugby bursary winners from 2011, Dane Peterson, team leader, and three members of the Marshall family—Carlin, Chelsea, and Owen. This team won the championship last year and enters Saturday’s match as clear favorites. On the other side of the pitch will be Vineyard

Networks, a team whose only losses in league play were to Night Rider. They play a structured game, grinding out yardage with a combination of straight ahead attack and creative running to the open side of the field. Their team includes Josh Zieske, a well known local rugby 15s player, his sister Gillianne Richards, a local newscaster, Blair Williams and Jeff Lohse, two lightning quick runners, and team leader Jason Richards. Both teams are hoping to bring their A Game to the Apple Bowl pitch this Saturday with kickoff set for 2 p.m. This game is the warm-up match for the rugby league international between the Utah Avalanche and B.C. Bulldogs at 3 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the gate, with children 10 and under accompanied by an adult admitted free of charge.

SPORTS ▼ BEACH VOLLEYBALL

Kelowna pair wins U14 title Kelowna duo Quinci Birker and Natalie Livingston have been a force to be reckoned with this summer on B.C.’s beach volleyball scene. Birker (KLO) and Livingston (Immaculata) are coming off their biggest win yet, a gold medal at the U14 provincial beach championships last weekend in Vancouver. The Kelowna pair was ranked fifth out of 28 teams going into the tournament. On Saturday, they won three pool play games in straight sets to qualify for

the tier 1 playoffs the following day. After losing the first set in Sunday’s crossover game 23-25, Quinci and Natalie easily won the second game as well as the tiebreaker to qualify for the quarterfinals. In the quarters, the girls defeated the No. 4 ranked team in straight sets. In the semifinals the Kelowna girls faced the No. 1 seed in the tournament and won the match in two straight sets to advance to the finals against the second-seeded team. Birker/Livingston

took the first set 21-17, serving hard and swinging aggressively to keep ahead of their opponents. In the next set their opponents were not about to lose without a fight, defeating Birker/Livingston 16-21. In the third and deciding set, the Kelowna girls served hard, hit hard and threw in a lot of strategically placed balls to win the third set 15-7, securing gold. The girls went undefeated in matches over the championship weekend, giving a Kelowna team its

As members of the Thompson Okanagan U15 BC Summer Games indoor volleyball team, the Kelowna duo paired up to win the T2 Tournament and Beachfest in Penticton as part of their training. Once they completed their B.C. Summer Games competition (finishing fourth) in Surrey they headed to the beach to catch up on their beach volleyball training. To get additional strong competition, the pair took part in the U15 Provincial Championships Aug. 4 and 5 when they placed seventh out of 28 teams. They have been train-

Jays to represent B.C. at nationals For the second straight season, the Kelowna Jays will represent B.C. at the Canadian Junior Baseball Championships. The West Coast Authentic Jays have left Kelowna for Trois Rivieres, Quebec, today to compete in the Canadian Junior Baseball Championships as Team B.C. The Jays experienced the Nationals last year when they came 5th in Windsor, Ontario.

The WCA Jays roster is loaded with quality pitching and the team feels they should contend for a medal this year. Competition will be fierce as each province send it’s champion with the teams also adding talented pickup from around their province. Jays manager Bill Bayne says it’s a great chance for the Jays college players to get experience in a high level event.

“This is a great opportunity for these young players to showcase their talents, gain valuable experience, find out how their abilities stack up compared to kids from other parts of Canada, and hopefully be seen by the myriad of major league scouts in attendance,” he said. The Jays trip is funded partially by the Jays organization, a fee for the players, a contribution from Baseball BC, and a donation from the Kinsmen Club of Kelowna. “We were thrilled to receive the support of the Kinsmen Club and we thank them very much as they have helped make this trip possible for the players,” said Bayne. Team B.C. started play

Thursday night against the host Trois Rivieres team. On Friday the Jays will play Manitoba and then Saturday will meet Ontario and New Brunswick. The top two teams in each division make the playoff rounds which commence Sunday morning. You can follow the tournament at the Baseball Canada website: www.baseball.ca click on Championships, Junior, and you will be sent to tournament site. Some of the local and Okanagan College Coyote players making the trip are Dawson Newman, Marcus Drewry, Tyler Pentland, and Stefan Mckee. Jays players Thomas Bidzinski and Dallas Monk are also on the team.

NEWS ▼ EXEMPTION

Assisted suicide ruling right move

etter late than never. Eventually the current scenario may prove to simply be a brief hiccup in the legal system of this country. However, if we are fortunate, it will prove to be a precedent setting decision that drags us out of the dark ages and into a world of compassion. Last week the B.C. Court of Appeal upheld Gloria Taylor’s one-year exemption from the law stopping her from having an assisted suicide. Taylor, who suffers from ALS (or Lou Gehrig’s disease), was one of the plaintiffs in a recent B.C. Supreme Court case that challenged Canada’s ban on assisted suicide. The judge ruled that the ban was unconstitutional and told the federal government to rewrite the legislation concerning assisted suicide. The federal government immediately announced it would appeal the overturning of the ban and Taylor’s exemption, which the judge in the Supreme Court case granted her. Last Friday, however, Justice Jo-Ann Prowse of the B.C. Court of Appeal rejected the government’s application to place a stay on Taylor’s exemption, saying because of Taylor’s declining condition she would suffer if the exemption was removed. Taylor is the only known person in Canada currently allowed to have an assisted suicide. As expected, the announcement was greeted by a huge outpouring of comments and mixed reactions. For many, such a paramount decision seems reprehensible, unfathomable, and immoral. For others it is simply a logistical, long overdue, ruling on a decision that really had no right being denied to begin with. The right to take one’s own life has and always will be a highly subjective and emotional matter, and one that most folks simply will not touch or discuss. Over the years, I have certainly waned on the issue and at times, like a pendulum, swung from

Charlie Hodge one side to another on the whole philosophical issue. However, today, I celebrate the recent decision. Until one has truly faced death in the face, it is hard to judge, or even begin to comprehend, how complex such a decision is. Until one has truly come to grips with a debilitating, cruel, lingering, fatal illness, it really is impossible to comprehend the emotions and desires of someone in such a situation. With death, theory is easy. Grasping it by the throat and actually dealing with it is a whole other ball game. When one truly comprehends that their life form (as we know it) is dwindling due to a cruel terminal illness, all the theory goes out the window. Taylor is dying of ALS and when it comes to nasty ways to depart it is right up there in the no fun factor. It is quite simply cruel, unfair, and certainly unforgiving. As hard as it is on the

victim of such a terminal illness, it can be even harsher, in many ways, on family members and friends. Having no option except breaking the law or facing the stigma of suicide only adds to the emotional and mental harshness for all involved. ALS in only one of the many terminal illnesses that can strike down any of us at any time, and does so in a truly debilitating way. Cancers, physical and mental diseases and other life-altering scenarios surround us constantly. And while it is nice to pretend or suggest that things happen for a reason, it’s not always true. Sometimes terrible things happen to the best people and there is absolutely no rhyme or reason for it. I do not pretend to be God, or even pretend to fully understand God— and I defy any common man or woman to say he or she truly does. But I am a man who also holds God and Christ close to my soul and heart. In my admitted, limited knowledge of all of the above, I do believe I have been blessed with my time on this planet and I cherish my time here. That being said, I also believe God gave me the powers of choice and reason so that I could use

them. The God in my world is not an angry God, or a jealous God. Nor is he a God that believes in extremes of torture or anguish. Right or wrong, my God is one of compassion, understanding, tolerance and reason. Without question, there is plenty of cause for concern about the new tentative legislation now sitting before our courts. Certainly there are those who may senselessly and sadly try to find ridiculous loopholes in the rulings, and make a mockery of the intent of the ruling. Anytime such significant laws face adjustment there are those who will rally to the side of stupidity. However, that does not diminish the fact that for a handful of Canadians who have been horrendously dealing with similar terminal and relentlessly unforgiving fatal illness, there is now a sense of rights and choices that truly serve our right to dignity, quality of life, and choice. Ironically, at the end of the day, Taylor may not even decide to proceed with her newly legalized right and end her own life. But at least that will be her right and her choice. And that is the point. Charlie Hodge is a Kelowna writer. hodgepodge2@shaw.ca

In 2011, our forest sector employed more than 53,000 peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a number that will grow. In addition to new jobs, in the next decade, as many as 25,000 forestry job openings are projected as existing workers retire. The very nature of these jobs is changing. Technological advances within the industry mean skill and educational requirements of workers are increasing. For example, new jobs expected in the bio-economy sector will require a uniquely educated workforce of engineers and scientists. In other words, these are good, well-paying career options for young British Columbians. The committee also carefully considered the requests for an early de-

have written in the past about how important a good mattress is for not only a good sleep but also for your health. Obviously, mattresses are for your sleeping hours. What is most important during your waking hours, is the quality of your shoes. Just as the mattress is our foundation while we sleep, or shoes are our foundation while awake. I, like many of you, am on my feet all day. If I have a proper pair of shoes that support my feet and allow me to comfortably move throughout my day, my legs and back will not feel tired at the end of the day. The reason for this is that there are many propriceptors, or position sensors, in our feet. Ill-fitting shoes that do not support the arches of the foot and allow for proper freedom of movement will make the legs, pelvic muscles and lower back muscles work much harder than they really need to. We all have a cheap pair of flip-flops at home. Try this test. Put on your flip-flops and walk up your stairs five times. Notice how hard your legs are working to carry you up and down the stairs. Note the tension in your low back and legs Now put on a good pair of running shoes and do the same.

ASK DR.THIEL

Markus Thiel Invariably, you will notice that you feel much stronger moving up and down the stairs with the better fitting pair of shoes. Note the tension in your low back and pelvic muscles. I have about seven different pairs of dress shoes for clinic. I usually will only wear three of them because they are of better quality shoe and they therefore support my feet better. Poor fitting shoes or shoes with little support make your legs and back work much harder than they really need to, causing excessive fatigue. Good shoes are like a good handshake. There is no mistaking the good ones from the weak ones. Your shoes should be comfortable immediately when you put them on. They should have good support for arches and allow the front of the foot to splay when weight-bearing, this is especially true during the toe off phase of your walking cycle. The shoe should bend at the exact position where your foot bends as you toe off. If you are active, run-

POOR FITTING SHOES OR SHOES WITH LITTLE SUPPORT MAKE YOUR LEGS AND BACK WORK MUCH HARDER.

If you’re a long-distance runner, it’s important to have your feet and gait cycle assessed by an expert who will fit you with the proper shoe. Doctors of chiroprac-

tic are licensed to assess and prescribed orthotics to maximize foot mechanics. This does not mean that everyone with two feet should get orthotics. Not everybody needs them. But for those who do, they make a world of difference. The strength of your legs, pelvic and low back muscles will only be as strong as the shoes you put on your feet. Take your time, be prepared to spend some money and find the perfect fit. Ask for help if you need it. It sounds like a little thing, but it is not. It will help you put your best foot forward throughout the day—pun intended. Markus Thiel is a chiropractor practicing in Kelowna. Questions or comments may be sent to:

TRAVEL Family-friendly Glacier Basin Trail on Rainier’s sunny side Tan Vinh CONTRIBUTOR

MOUNT RAINIER, Wash.: It was cloudy and drizzling on other parts of Mount Rainier, but the world was all sunscreen and sunglasses from where I stood, on the east face of the mountain. Hikers were smearing sunscreen, some sporting shorts. I was squinting. A minute after pulling into the parking lot at the White River Campground, I discovered the first of many high points of hiking the nearby Glacier Basin Trail. The weather doesn’t get any better around Mount Rainier than on the east side. Clouds come in from the west, break around the mountain and head north and south, which explains why visitors were getting

clouds and fog at Paradise while campers here were dressed like they were vacationing in Cabo. Things were off to a good start. I was here to check out a trail that took about four summers to rebuild after the flood of 2006. After Paradise, the Glacier Basin Trail is the secondmost popular starting point for Rainier climbers. My goal was less ambitious. I had out-of-town guests with children who wanted to see Mount Rainier up close and hike around the park. Glacier Basin Trail made sense. You won’t find another trail around Mount Rainier National Park that’s this long (seven miles roundtrip) with only 1,280 feet of elevation gain. All within about a

#110-3001 TUTT ST. www.sunfuntours.ca

25-minute drive, you can hit Sunrise, the park’s highest point reachable by car; check out scenic Chinook Pass, with memorable views of the iconic mountain to the west, or visit the Tolkien-like landscape of the Grove of the Patriarchs, filled with ancient hemlocks, western red cedars and Douglas firs. For an overnight, you can car-camp near the Glacier Basin trailhead in one of 112 campsites. In the sunny weather the wildflowers bloom and the snow melts here earlier than the other side of the mountain. On my hike, my guide was Alan Mortimer, of Washington Trails Association, who helped lead an army of volunteers to work on this trail’s reconstruction. The old trail paralleled the Inter Fork of the roaring White River, affording a close-up view of the water. But it was too close apparently, since part of the trail washed out.

We headed up the valley on the new trail. You can still see the water, through the hemlocks and cedars. Tons of boulders were blasted and dozens of cedar were sawed to make way for this trail, a Herculean task for hundreds of volunteers and workers using pulleys and harnesses. Bridges were built, and the blasted rocks were used to build walls and lay the foundation for the trail. “A 2,000-pound rock took us two days to remove,” said Mortimer, strolling along the dirt path. The work was done in the first 1.5 miles, where the trail either needed to be rerouted out of the flood plain or just needed sprucing up. “The (new) trail is easier for families to use. It’s a pretty steady-grade trail. Nice and wide, not a lot of obstacles…nice for families to walk side by side,” See Rainier A26

Hemochromatosis - Canada’s Most Common Genetic Disorder Supporting Families Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HHC) is the most common genetic disorder affecting Canadians. It is a crippling, potentially fatal condition caused by a defect of iron metabolism that leads to iron overload in vital organs, joints and tissues. The complications caused by the disorder are preventable if a diagnosis is made before the excess iron causes irreversible damage, and effective treatment exists.

Information Seminars are being held: WESTBANK, B.C. Saturday, August 18, 2012 Two Eagles Golf Course – Nineteen Okanagan Grill 3509 Carrington Road, Continental Breakfast served at 9:00 am (Complimentary upon RSVP by Aug. 16th) Presentation begins at 9:30 am

KELOWNA, B.C. Monday, August 20, 2012 Best Western Kelowna Plus Hotel and Suites 2402 Hwy. 97 7:00 pm

These information seminars will connect hemochromatosis sufferers with others affected by the disorder in the local community. Representatives of the Canadian Hemochromatosis Society will provide information on the diagnosis, treatment and management of too much iron, and updates on the activities of the Society locally, provincially and nationally. All members of the community are welcome. These seminars are part of the Canadian Hemochromatosis Society’s Community Outreach Program and are provided free of charge. Please call 1-877-BAD-IRON (1-877-223-4766) or (604) 279-7135 if you are planning on attending any of the events. More information at www.toomuchiron.ca.

TRAVEL

Rainier Rainier from A24 Mortimer said. On level of difficulty, Mount Rainier veterans rate this an “easy” hike. A mile in, the trail gives hikers the option of steering left over two bridges to Emmons Moraine Trail, to view what park rangers bill as “the largest glacier in the 48 contiguous United States.” We stuck to our route, and a couple hundred yards up, were rewarded with a better view: snowcapped Mount Ruth and Little Tahoma Peak rising over the Emmons Glacier on a clear, sunny day. When we started, the dense evergreen forest sandwiched our walkway. But more than a mile in, short willows rimmed the path. The sun penetrated through, reminding us we were on the dry side of Mount Rainier. It was as if someone had turned on a light switch. We continued hiking, zigzagging up. The temperature felt 10 degrees cooler as we climbed under a canopy of firs and cedars. Hikers have more op-

You can take the trail all the way to Glacier Basin and circle back for a good seven-mile hike. Those looking for a more strenuous workout can follow the Burroughs Mountain Trail to the south side of Sunrise. You’ll see rusty scrap iron along the way, a remnant of this trail’s mining past. Around the start of the 20th century, investors were convinced copper and silver ore here would make them rich. Tunnels were dug. Power plants

and aerial tramways were erected. Even a hotel was built. But the ore turned out to be worthless. It explains how the park was blessed with such a family-friendly hiking trail as miners needed a route wide enough for trucks but not too steep.

IF YOU GO Where The newly rerouted Glacier Basin Trail (3.5 miles each way) is an easy-to-moderate level hike on the east side of

Mount Rainier, about a two-hour drive from Seattle. Take Highway 410 to Mount Rainier National Park and turn onto Sunrise Road. Look for signs to White River Campground, where this trail starts. Pay a $15/vehicle entry fee at the White River Entrance Station. More info White River Wilderness Information Center, 360-569-6670, or www. nps.gov/mora.

Jaguar XJL Supercharged: Defining grace, space and pace Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

INSTANTLY RECOGNIZED as a Jaguar, the 2013 XJ premium sedan (XJL Supercharged shown) distills all the virtues of English traditional values or what Jaguar calls Grace, Space and Pace.

OUR BEST

DEALS YEAR!

Step out of the 2012 Jaguar XJL and its slogan Grace, Space and Pace sums up the car perfectly. Wonderfully fitted out with real wool carpets, cool-to-the-touch chrome metal surrounds on the air vents and switchgear and rich, deep walnut veneers, it is also deceptively fast. Since the 1950s, the XJ sedans have exemplified for me, more than Rolls-Royce or Bentley, what a British car is all about. Some 40 years ago when Morris and Austin where still sold in Canada,

the club-like leather and wood cabins were commonplace, even expected. Along the way, the British motor industry lost its way between slap-dash engineering and a workforce that forgot the meaning of quality. Jaguar was not immune. I will always remember going to Jaguar just after Ford bought it in 1989. On a wall was a chart of the number of faults per 1,000 cars. At a time when 200 faults was considered ghastly in North America, the chart

Jaguar is consistently at top of owner satisfaction surveys Jaguar from B1 was showing (if memory serves) 1,200 faults per 1,000. Led by a wonderful fellow from Ford named Jim Padilla, that quality control debacle was reversed and has been improved every year to this day when Jaguar is consistently at the top of numerous owner satisfaction surveys. One of the drawbacks of the big XJ sedans was styling. From the 1986 XJ6, they looked basically the same as Jaguar concentrated on the XK sportscars, the S-Type and more recent XF mid-size sedan. While is it still unmistakably a Jaguar, the current XJ is styled by Ian Callum, one of the truly great car guys anywhere. If there is anybody best suited to design Jaguars, it is Callum. The nose expands upon the mesh grate look of the XF while the taillights flow from the rear forward to blend into the wonderful catwalk design cue that starts just

detail. Before the car existed in the flesh, it was reproduced in one of the

worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most advanced 3D virtual reality suites. Callum and his team could see and sample every line

and curve on the computer model. On top of that, every component was modelled

and checked in more than 43,000 separate simulations. But more to the point is the attention to classic Jaguar values that transcend detailsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;values such as the walnut tables that fold up from the front seat backs. Values such as the satisfying feel of the walnut and leather steering wheel. And values like that singular â&#x20AC;&#x153;thunkâ&#x20AC;? sound of a closing door that only prestige English cars seem to make. The 2012 XJ is offered in three trim levels (XJ, XJ Supercharged, XJ Supersport), each available in standard and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lâ&#x20AC;? or long wheelbase models. Motive power for all three is Jaguarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-serving 5.0-litre DOHC V8. In its latest Gen III iteration, it produces 368 hp (380 lb/ft of torque) in the normally aspirated XJ. The XJ Supercharged puts out 470 hp (424 lb/ft) while the Supersport, which is also supercharged, raises the ante to 510 hp (461 lb/ft). Fuel consumption is 13.1/8.5L/100 km city/highway and

14.1/9.3L/100 km for the Supercharged and 18.3/8.7L/100 km for the Supersport. When it comes to the pace part, the 2013 XJs accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 5.7, 5.2 and 4.9 seconds respectively with a top speed limited to 250 km/h. But a car such as the XJL Supercharged as tested here is not about going fast, and it surely will, but all about enjoying getting there whether it be across town or across the continent.

THE 2013 JAGUAR XJ powerplant is a 5.0-litre quadcam V8 in either naturally aspirated or supercharged (shown) form. that I had to go to a Jaguar dealer and have the sales manager show me how to enter what should have been a simple address in cottage country. Once I was shown how it worked, it seemed easy enough, and off I went in no particular hurry, which, again, seems to suit the car. When it comes to the space part of the Jaguar slogan, the long wheelbase version tested here provide a full five extra inches of legroom. Passengers lucky enough to ride in the back can enjoy their own eight-inch LCD monitors with individual wireless headphones and touch screen remote control, sun shades hidden in the doors or the immense panoramic roof and individual climate controls. And then there are the twin, walnut tabletops that fold down from the

front seat back, perfect for a light lunch and a beverage while watching one’s favourite video. Very civilized indeed! Prices start at $88,000 and range up to $135,500, not counting the $1,350 destination fee. For the driver, there is a sense of always being in control but there is something so very space age about the virtual main gauges a glance away from the centre dash mounted analog clock. That oozes the essence of what a Jaguar is, should be and has always been. And that’s why a Jaguar is such a wonderful distillation of all its years as the embodiment of Grace, Space and Pace.

Could I live with the car on a daily basis? That was the key question I had before a recent weeklong road test of

the 2012 Chevrolet Volt, a car that Chevrolet touts as a “breakthrough” and a “game-changer” in the automotive world. Yet during my week with the car, I was amazed at how little many people

TOYOTA

actually know about it despite all the publicity it has garnered. People I ran into think of the Volt as purely an electric car and are surprised when I tell them it also has a gasoline engine

to generate power. “Oh, so it’s a hybrid,” they say. “No, not really,” I reply, getting that funny look as if I have two heads. I explain that the Volt

is an “extended range” car that melds together features of both gas-electric hybrids and all-electric vehicles. It is similar to an electric car in that it has a l6 kWh lithium-ion battery

that can be recharged in 10 hours when plugged into a normal 120-volt household outlet. Special charging stations using 240-volt outlets are available for installation in household garages and they cut charge times to four hours. On a complete charge, the Volt will have a range of up to 80 km in all-electric mode. Unlike gaselectric hybrids, the gasoline engine doesn’t kick in when the vehicle exceeds a certain speed— the car runs solely on battery power at any speed until the battery charge is depleted. I recharged the battery several times during the test period and was able to get 62 km on average in electric mode during extremely hot mid-July weather. When battery power is depleted, a 1.4-litre gasoline engine kicks in. It

operates a generator to create more battery juice, which in turn will give the Volt a driving range of another 500-plus km. Thus, unlike a full electric car, the fear of running out of battery power (range anxiety as it is called) is eliminated in the Volt. The heart of the car is Chevrolet’s Voltec system, which transforms energy stored in the battery into mechanical force. It uses two drive motors (one smaller than the other), a gasoline-powered engine generator, three clutches and a planetary gear set. Regenerative braking in the Volt also captures energy that otherwise would be lost as the car slows down and stops. So, how does the Volt work in the real world? It wouldn’t be ideal

MOTORING Chev from B8 mation and even allow the driver to program battery charging to take advantage of off-peak utility rates. This technology is great, but it’s not inexpensive. The Volt is priced at $41,545, but mine had op-

tions that took the as tested price to $44,135 plus $1,450 for destination charges. Ontario residents are eligible for an $8,230 government rebate and in Quebec, the rebate is $7,769. For those worrying about battery life, the Vol-

tec system comes with a warranty of eight years or 160,000 km. GM executives have told me they expect the battery to last a lot longer than the warranty period. So is the Volt a “gamechanger” as Chevrolet suggests. Not quite.

But it definitely is innovative and perhaps the best “green” car on the market. The extended range capability makes it an everyday vehicle, unlike the Nissan Leaf and Mitsubishi iMiev that both leave drivers with the dreaded range anxiety. The high price tag will

be a drawback for many, but in answer to my opening question, the Volt definitely is a car I could live with on a daily basis.

CHEVROLET VOLT 2012 Body Style: Extended range electric sedan. Drive Method: frontengine, front-wheel-drive.

Engine: 110 kW primary motor; 55 kW secondary motor, 1.4-litre DOHC inline four-cylinder for a combined 150 hp and 273 lb/ft of torque Fuel Economy: Allelectric 22.3 kWh/100 km city/22.3 kWh/100 km highway; gasoline 6.7L/100 km city,

5.9L/100 km highway using premium unleaded gasoline. Cargo Capacity: 300 litres Price: Base price $41,545, as tested $45,585 including $1,450 freight and PDI. Website: www. gm.cav

tom Vehicle Operations (CVO) takes existing products and tweaks them into a limited-edition lineup of moveable art, creating factory custom bikes that give owners a head start on their ride personalization projects. The CVO Softail Convertible has proved a popular choice, now in its third year of production and, as tested here, this latest 2012 version starts with a premium custom paint job that is individually finished in Abyss Blue with Catacomb Graphics. I know, I know, enough with the airbrushed skulls, already. But the graphics are at least done in a subtly tasteful style and the deep shade of blue on the tank and fenders catches the eye with an almost luminescent quality. Other available colours include Satin Pewter, also with Catacomb Graphics and Crimson Red Sunglo with Scarlet Crystal Graphics. As for the bling, well

in the ballpark of 80 hp. Regardless of the numbers, the bike pulls like a train and accelerates up to speed quickly, loping easily in the neighbourhood of 2000 rpm at highway speed. I tended to prefer fourth or fifth gear for less chunky power on country road runs but with gobs of torque available in any gear, acceleration is never a problem. Neutral is occasionally hard to find and first gears thunks in with authority but, let the motor unwind, and the six-speed Cruise Drive transmission shifts neatly enough. After two fillups, my combined fuel economy was 6.3L/100km, giving me a theoretical range of about 300 km per tank. Full floorboards add to touring comfort but they will drag easily due to the limitations of a 26-degree lean angle. Riders might have to slow to avoid grinding on some of the twistier bits, but any road irregularities are easily handled by a smoothly capable suspension. That smooth ride, complemented by the fcomfortable riding position and touring equipment makes this bike a road-friendly companion for either short cruises or even over the long haul. How do we sum up the 2012 Harley-Davidson CVO Softail Convertible? It’s not for the faint of heart. An almost $34K price tag reflects its premium equipment levels and limited-edition rarity. But this upscale ride offers a unique combination of stump-pulling power, elegantly displayed in a top-of-theline chromed and custom painted package that only enhances its two-bikes-inone convertible versatility.

THE

Nissan has unveiled a bold new vision for the future of the London “black cab” and its 300,000 daily users—the Nissan NV200 London Taxi. The NV200 London Taxi will offer significantly reduced CO2 outputs compared to current taxi models—a focus in line with Mayor Boris Johnson’s Air Quality strategy for London. An all-electric e-NV200 concept is also set to undergo trials in the capital. The mayor has joined disability groups and the influential London Taxi Drivers’ Association in welcoming the launch of the Nissan NV200 London Taxi. Taxi versions of the NV200 have already been

unveiled in Tokyo and it has also been chosen as the exclusive New York City Taxi of Tomorrow. The NV200 London Taxi joins an exciting global Nissan vision for the private hire industry. The Nissan NV200 London Taxi comfortably seats five adults—three on a rear bench with two on rear-facing, fold-down seats. The front passenger seat has been removed to create space for luggage. A standout feature is the taxi’s sliding passenger doors, which were developed for easy open and close. They are also much safer for pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles because they do not swing out to create a potential obstruction. WheelsTalk.com

What you should know about mortgage prepayment calculations

ow many of us have ever questioned what our prepayment penalty would be should we be in a position during the term of our mortgage to want to make changes? Depending on which financial institution your mortgage is with, the answer could be shocking. In light of many consumers looking to switch or refinance mortgages due to record low interest rates, the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada has seen a marked increase in complaints from consumers about mortgage prepayment penalty calculations based on interest rate differentials.

The complaints received generally highlighted three issues: • The descriptions of the components to calculate the prepayment penalty are vague and/or difficult to understand. • Some components that are required to calculate the prepayment penalty are missing (e.g. posted rate vs. discounted rate) and/or there is no reference on how to obtain information required for the calculation if it is not known at the time of disclosure. • There appears to be a discrepancy between the prepayment penalty formula that is disclosed to consumers and the system

calculation used by some institutions (e.g. estimated IRD vs. actual IRD charge) Financial institutions are now expected to incorporate the following information into their mortgage prepayment disclosure documents. • They must disclose the manner in which the mortgage prepayment charge or penalty is actually calculated. • There must be a clear description of all the components included in the prepayment calculation. • The disclosure must be made in a language and presented in a manner that is clear, simple and not misleading.

• Disclosure of a complex calculation must be accompanied by a simplified method to estimate the prepayment penalty. With this information, consumers may assess whether the mortgage prepayment is right for them in their financial situation. What does that mean to you, the consumer? Most financial institutions now have a prepayment calculator on their websites. In addition, if you are shopping for a mortgage there should definitely be questions you should ask. Here is an example of two different financial institutions calculating a

prepayment penalty. A bank or credit union verses an exclusive mortgage lending institution for a mortgage amount 200,000 for a five-year fixed term mortgage at 3.09 per cent. The bank’s posted rate when you took the mortgage out was 5.24 per cent so your interest rate differential (difference between your rate and posted rate) is 2.15 per cent. Let’s say, as an example, you are two years into your mortgage and you have perhaps sold your home and are paying the mortgage off. Or maybe you would like to move the mortgage to another lending institution

for a better rate. Your IRD penalty on the preceding example would be a whopping $7,882.29. Now let’s say your mortgage was with one of the many exclusive mortgage lenders available who do not work with a posted rate—and there are plenty of these financial institutions out there accessible only through a mortgage broker. The interest differential would be zero because the mortgage rate you have is the only rate it offers. Your prepayment penalty would be a mere $1,460.21. The ability to explore all the facts and options

available to you the consumer with a professional mortgage consultant is to your advantage and along with all the knowledgeable information you will receive . Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals.

When it comes to fending off insects, detective work helps No one really likes spiders, ants and other creepy crawlers invading their home and yard. But, they are a natural part of our environment and there are some bestpractice ways to deal with them.

“An essential aspect of landscape maintenance is insect control,” says Doug VanGundy, an entomologist with Central Life Sciences, which includes Amdro pest-control products. “Problem insects can

affect the vigor of plants and landscapes, either through disease, insect feeding or other destructive activities. Insects can also invade the interior of a home in search of food, water and shelter, becoming a gener-

al nuisance.” Here are VanGundy’s tips on preventing insect infestations on your property: • Choose plants wisely. Native plants are less likely to attract unwanted pests.

• Combat insects with essential nutrients. One of the best defenses from problem pests is a strong, actively growing, wellmaintained plant. Proper fertilization is essential to maintaining landscape beauty and plant develop-

ment, helping sustain optimum plant growth and resistance to insects, diseases and environmental stresses. • Be an insect detective. Often, the evaluation of plant symptoms can provide an effective indica-

tion of the insect type. There are three common types of problem insects: Create a line of defense. Use a bait formulation such as an ant barrier to create a deterrent around your home.

OKANAGAN

SHOWCASE W REAL ESTATE

Okanagan-Shuswap housing market maintains steady growth The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board says sales activity in July improved in all areas over the same month last year. And, it says, the local housing market is maintaining stability and steady growth moving into the third quarter of the year. “Things are continuing to look up in the Okanagan-Shuswap,” said Rob Shaw, OMREB’s president. “Housing sales have strengthened during the past four months, with the typical leveling off of activity in July as summer vacations began and thoughts turned to camping, and boating.” He added the Central Okanagan carried the rise in sales for the month, with overall units sold up 13 per cent from the same month last year, while sales for the North Okanagan are on par with 2011. Listings and sales

were slightly down in the Shuswap compared to last July. “Single family residential sales were strongest in the Central Okanagan in July, with a 40 per cent jump over 2011. Apartment and townhouse sales continued to improve in the Shuswap and North Okanagan. The North Okanagan reported a 37.5 per cent increase in apartment sales last month, while townhouse sales were up 16.7 per cent from last year. In the Shuswap, eight apartments were sold in July compared to none in 2011 and townhouse sales rose 25percent. Year-to-date, total residential sales have improved over last year throughout the area, up 10 per cent in the North Okanagan, nine per cent in the Central Okanagan and six per cent in the Shuswap area. “The outlook is gener-

ally positive in our board area as the market continues to stabilize,” Shaw said. “Inventory is still a bit high but coming down with the ongoing sales fuelled by pent-up demand and growing consumer confidence.” While new listings have leveled off during the past two months, the selection is still there for buyers, he added. Record low interest rates are expected to continue to underpin home sales. However, the recent tightening of mortgage rules may affect affordability, especially for first-time buyers and consumers with less than 20 per cent equity in their homes. With the dynamics in the Okanagan, there are up and down fluctuations in each OMREB zone monthly depending on the community, housing type and price point, said

THE OKANAGAN MAINLINE REAL ESTATE BOARD says house sales are up in all areas of the Okanagan, including here in the Kelowna area, compared with this same time last year. Shaw. “Now, more than ever, it is important for anyone thinking of buying or selling to ask their realtor how

their property type is currently faring in the overall market and, more significantly, in their particular neighbourhood.”

He said working with a real estate professional to understand the current local market conditions and to provide com-

parisons specific to your area is essential for sellers as home values vary based on the type and the location.

W INVESTMENT PROPERTY

Now is a good time to look at buying U.S. real estate

ith the United States still struggling to regain it footing from the financial breakdown from 2007, perhaps it is time for us Canadians to look to our sister to the South and see the opportunity that has knocked on our door and invest in U.S. real estate. With the foreclosure rate still skyrocketing in popular tourist areas such as California, Nevada and Florida, just to name a

REAL ESTATE RUNDOWN

Ceinwen Morgan few, we are continuing to see prices fall further into the basement. Our dollar continues to remain strong, hovering at, close to or above parity against the U.S.

dollar. And this has given Canadians greater purchasing power. Any long-term U.S. real estate investment will ultimately turn a great long-term profit. Canadian buyers are able to, on average, finance 70 per cent of their purchase from private lenders or banks, but keep in mind that there may be more hoops to jump through to qualify for an American mortgage. While prices remain

low in the United States, senior economist with BMO Capital Markets, Sal Guatieri, has stated prices will not remain low for long. “While there’s little urgency, now is likely a good time to buy U.S. real estate in regions with relatively low foreclosure rates, as conditions should improve enough to put a floor under prices this year,” says Guatieri. In Arizona alone, 60 per cent of homes sold

now are distress sales and the average median selling price is around $119,000. Canadian investors are commonly buying properties in Arizona for $90,000 and are able to rent them out for $800 to $1,000 per month. On average the return for the first year is roughly nine per cent, and in following years you could possibly see as much as a 12 per cent return on your purchase.

As the numbers reflect, there is great opportunity for Canadians to obtain a profiting investment property in the U.S., but bear in mind there are many different measures that will need to be considered, such as taxes, downpayment and even property management. Do your research and pick a neighbourhood that is right for you and always keep in mind the number one rule of real estate: location, location,

location. Where Americans see a great risk to purchasing investment property in today’s economy, Canadians are able to see the advantage and take it. We are known to flock to “snowbird” locations such as Arizona, Palm Springs and Nevada, so now that the opportunity presents itself strike while the iron is hot.
