indergarten is the start of school for hundreds of children in the Central Okanagan every year. But this year, the number of new kids entering the system is up substantially and school district officials say all projections point to the numbers continuing to climb over the next five years. With more kids coming in, and fewer leaving at the other end in Grade 12, planners are faced with the problem of where to put the oncoming wave of new, young students. In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Capital News close-up, assistant editor Alistair Waters talks to school district officials, teachers, a principal and a parent, all of whom are impacted by the Echo Boom, the identity term used for the grandchildren of baby boomers about to start school.

Enrolment shift challenges school district NIKKI Zimmermann and her daughter Mackenzie prepare for the first day of school next Tuesday. MacKenzie is one of more than 1,500 kindergarten students who will start school in the Central Okanagan this year. CONTRIBUTED

Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

or five-year-old Mackenzie Zimmermann, next Tuesday can’t come soon enough. That’s the day she will start what she calls “big school.” “She’s ready, she’s more than ready,” says her mom, Nikki. “She’s on the countdown.” Mackenzie, fresh out of pre-school, is one of an estimated 1,542 kids who will enter kindergarten in the Central Okanagan next week, a group the local school district says is the “tip of the iceberg” when it comes to an anticipated huge influx of children entering the school system over the next few years. The number of children entering kindergarten here this year is expected to be up more than 100 students over last year, and that number is expected to climb even higher over the next three years, running between 1,600 and 1,700 kindergarten kids each year. That’s a lot of new students to absorb into the system. “It’s the Echo Boom,” says Central Okanagan School District secretary-treasurer Larry Paul. “The kids of baby boomers are having kids and those kids are now entering the school system.” Some of the biggest questions for school district officials here is how to plan for an immediate future that will see a growing flow of students enter the school system over the next few years. Unlike some other school districts in the province that are facing the same scenario, the Central Okanagan did not experience much of a decline in numbers in the last few years. As a result, the school district doesn’t have excess space that was shut down to handle previous declining enrolment. So transfers are becoming more common, as

many schools, especially those in the kindergarten “hot spots,” such as parts of West Kelowna, the Mission, Black Mountain and Lake Country, are already jam-packed. According to demographer Judy Shoemaker, the school district’s planning manager for special projects, the overall number of students in the Central Okanagan is not expected to change very much this year. But the makeup of the roughly 21,500 students expected this year in the K-12 system will change. With fewer students exiting the system from Grade 12 and more coming in at the kindergarten level, the ripple effect that will cause over the next few years has school officials looking at reconfiguring the grades for elementary, middle and high schools.

Except for Lake Country and the Mission, currently Central Okanagan elementary schools go from kindergarten to Grade 6, with K to 3 being primary. (In Lake Country and the Mission, elementary schools go to Grade 7.) Throughout the district, middle schools offer Grades 7 or 8 to Grade 9 and high school Grades 10 to 12. The district is currently looking at changing that configuration to kindergarten to Grade 5 at the elementary level, Grades 6 to 8 at the middle school level and Grades 9 to 12 for high schools. According to Shoemaker, while there is an educational case to be made for such a change, what is also prompting it is the growing number of kids entering kindergarten. The school district, which was already pushed for space at many of its schools, is trying to create room while it makes its case to the

B.C. Ministry of Education for more classroom space. But in a system that requires school districts to show there is overcrowding before approval of more money for new schools is considered, planning for a future with more students is not the easiest task to complete. “They (officials with the ministry of education) want to see the whites of the eyes before they will agree to funding for new schools because they have been burned before,” says Shoemaker. She said in the past, expectations of growth or new developments expected to spur growth in areas of other school districts has not occurred, and that resulted in schools being built that were not filled. So now the ministry wants to see the need first. That makes it difficult for school districts to plan for the future, a future it knows will be more crowded than in the past. ••• On the ground, the expected higher numbers of kindergarten kids has principals and teachers at affected schools hopping as they prepare for Tuesday’s start of the school year. At Chute Lake Elementary in the Mission, a school that opened just three years ago with 400 students and is already overflowing with nearly 500 students. Kindergarten teachers Brenda Capozzi, Kellie Meier and Joan Dougherty, like their colleagues at every level in the district, are hard at work planning lessons and preparing their classrooms. With provincially mandated class sizes of 22 students for kindergarten, they know how many kids they will have this year. As well, for the second year, they will be teaching all-day kindergarten classes. But they also see the increasing numbers and

the demand for more space. Dougherty says with most of the kids she teaches having gone to pre-school, there has also been a huge change in students’ abilities as they enter school since full-day kindergarten was introduced across the district last year. “(Pre-school) seems to set them up very well,” she says. At schools like Chute Lake, where demand has outstripped availability of space, some students have had to go to nearby Anne McClymont Elementary, notes principal Bruce McKay. Last year, with the three kindergarten classes full at the start of the year, between 10 and 15 students had to go to neighbouring Anne McClymont Elementary. But, with the school’s policy of offering any transferred student the first opportunity to return the following year (or the same year if space becomes available), McKay said most of those kids will return this year. This year, there will be 66 kindergarten kids at Chute Lake and more than 70 Grade 1 students. Next year, McKay expects there will be less room for incoming kindergarten students and the number will likely drop to between 55 and 60. One of the factors in the grow-

City in Action EVENT Celebrating 50 years of live entertainment On September 13, 2012, the Kelowna Community Theatre officially turns 50. Join us as we celebrate this golden anniversary and commemorate the theatre’s past, present and future. The Golden Anniversary Showcase will feature some of Kelowna’s finest performers including Ballet Kelowna, the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, the Theatre Kelowna Society, Wentworth Music, Dance City Academy, Robert Fine and more. This red carpet gala will be filled with some of the best live entertainment that has graced the Kelowna Community Theatre stage for 50 years. Tickets for the event are now available at a cost of $15 per person. People can purchase tickets by visiting selectyourtickets.com, calling 250-762-5050 or directly at the Prospera Place Box Office on Water Street. Tickets, if available, can also be purchased at the door on September 13. A Facebook event page dedicated to the theatre’s 50th anniversary has been created. The community is invited to share personal messages and stories about how the theatre has touched their lives. In addition, people can also send their stories, photos or even

and Rose Valley schools, said Paul. Meanwhile, the “jigsaw” that is the art of fitting all the kids in who need to go to school here continues. ••• But for many young students like MacKenzie Zimmermann, the fact her first day of school is about to arrive overshadows issues like the growing number of kids entering kindergarten, if she is even aware of it at all. She is just excited about starting school. Mackenzie lives in the Black Mountain area, but will go to school at Peter Greer Elementary in Lake Country because she is enrolled in the French immersion program there. Her mom also happens to be a teacher at that school. Nikki Zimmermann said she is well aware of the growing number of kids entering the school system. After deciding to enrol her daughter in French immersion, she had to wait to see if there would be room at the school for Mackenzie because she was not a resident of the school’s catchment area. She was lucky. She got in. So, while the adults plan, the kids gear up to either head back to school or go for the first time. Either way, it appears this year will be a learning experience for all. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

ing number of kindergarten students in the district is development. With young families attracted to areas where housing is going in, there are pockets around the district benefiting from that development. And for some families, close proximity to schools is a factor when choosing where to live. McKay said he is finding more parents contacting his school in advance to check on future enrolment availability. As is the case each year, individual schools will not know exactly how many students they will have until head counts are done during the first week of the new school term. But at schools like Chute Lake, West Kelowna’s Shannon Lake and Rose Valley, Black Mountain and Peter Greer in Lake Country, there is no room to maneuver when trying to squeeze more kindergarten students in. For example at Shannon Lake Elementary, despite the addition of a new eight-classroom wing last year, in part to accommodate the arrival of full-day kindergarten, portable classrooms have already had to be re-opened. The school district is hoping its planned new Marjok Elementary, planned for the Horizon Drive area of West Kelowna below West Kelowna Estates will help alleviate crowding at both the Shannon Lake

The train theme comes from the pub building having served for many years as the CN Railway Station, built in 1926. The sculpture is six feet high and weighs in at about 600 lbs.

Upgrade for road to Big White You can expect a smoother drive to the slopes this winter. The road to Big White Ski Resort will get some unexpected upgrading for the coming ski season. Sufficient budget savings from other road projects this year has allowed for 11 kilometres of the road to be resurfaced at a cost of $2.7 million, from the 12 km point east of the junction with Highway 33 to Kettle Valley Road at the ski resort.

“It’s the highest spot on the road and the worst spot in terms of road conditions,” said John Slater, Liberal MLA for Boundary-Similkameen. “We’ve had some tough economic times but one result of that is we get better deals and can gain some financial ground on other road projects. This particular project was not on our radar six months ago, but we’ve been able to put something together because of the savings

the ministry of transportation has been able to accumulate.” Slater said Big White is an important economic stimulus for both the region and the province overall. “It brings people here from foreign countries and other provinces, we want to make that experience for them better so they’ll come back,” Slater said. “Big White has 18,000 beds up there for visitors

who come to the mountain, plus all the staff, the kids who rely on it and all the rest of it. We want to make sure it continues to remain safe for travelers.” Slater said he hopes the remaining eight kilometres of the Big White Road will eventually also get an upgrade. “We want to improve the entrance from Highway 33 to Big White Road as well, so we’ll try to do all that as well in moving forward.”

Route changes kick in Sunday Some users of the Kelowna Regional Transit Service may notice a few changes in service starting Sunday. Westside riders are those most likely to notice a difference as West Kelowna council voted to cut 3,700 service hours this past March, in advance of the implementation of Bus Rapid Transit in 2014. The Highway 97 Express route will take over the stretch of highway previously served by Route 21. The line will end in Westbank Centre; therefore, Glenrosa riders will be required to transfer buses to get to their nearest bus stops. Service to Glenrosa will also be reduced to every 30 minutes during peak hours and every hour during off-peak hours. Routes 27, 28 and 29—which service Horizon, Smith Creek and Bear Creek respectively—will have their service reduced to weekday, peak hours only. In Kelowna, BC Tran-

CHANGES TO the transit schedule will impact both Kelowna and West Kelowna bus routes. sit will now link the neighbourhood of Quail Ridge to UBCO. The Route 13 bus will run every 30 minutes between 7 a.m. and 10:30 a.m., then again from 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. to satisfy the needs of students living in the area. Other Kelowna service enhancements include ex-

tra runs on the Route 1 Lakeshore and late night Friday and Saturday service on the Route 97 Express between downtown Kelowna and UBCO. Routes 4 and 6 will be reinstated after a summer hiatus and other routes will return to their full fall schedule. The Route 23 Lake

ance of road safety in and around all schools. Bylaw enforcement officers will be watching for parking violations. Special attention is being given to school zones, where children will be walking and cycling each weekday. The speed limit through school zones is typically 30 km/h from 8

a.m. to 5 p.m. on school days, unless otherwise posted. Drivers are also reminded when a school bus turns on its flashing red lights, vehicles in all lanes, in both directions, must stop. Drivers should be aware older students may use public transit and

motorists need to slow down around buses and watch for pedestrians who may be walking out into the street in front of or behind a stopped bus. ICBC’s Learn to Drive Smart guide can be found online at icbc.com and can help motorists brush up on the rules of the road.

Conference will reach out to Okanagan entrepreneurs Barry Gerding EDITOR

The Okanagan Valley Entrepreneurs Society wants to reach out to entrepreneurs in the Central Okanagan. To help that cause, the society will host the first conference for entrepreneurs in the Okana-

gan Valley, called Finding Strength Within The Forest: Money, Passion & Purpose. It will take place Nov. 22 and 23 at the Ramada Hotel in Kelowna, sponsored by MacKay LLP accounting firm. Joel Young, chairman of the society and a fervent advocate for promot-

ing entrepreneurism in the Okanagan Valley, said in an increasingly competitive marketplace, networking that can lead to alliances and partnerships is critical for business survival and prosperity today. “This conference can bring industry, business and education organizations together with gov-

ernment for a common cause, the strengthening of the entrepreneur community within the Okanagan,” Young said. He said promoting an entrepreneurial spirit in the Okanagan is not about business, but about people. “You need innovation and creativity. If you don’t

have that, or the support mechanisms in place to help people achieve those objectives, than you don’t have entrepreneurship,” said Young, a business columnist for the Capital News. Young said he hopes the conference will become an annual event that helps instigate networking among entrepreneurs. “Networking is a powerful tool if used wisely and effectively,” he added. On hand for the conference announcement at the steps of Kelowna City Hall on Thursday was Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart, who found himself in the ranks of entrepreneurs when he launched Quails’ Gate Winery in West Kelowna in the 1990s. Stewart recalled how he started his winery at a time when the NDP were in power in Victoria and the economy was suffering through a downturn. “I mortgaged my house and my farm, and it was still not enough, to get the winery started…we lost money that first year and I found myself owing the government money on my tax bill much to my surprise,” Stewart said. “Like many others, we struggled to persevere at the outset. We were lucky but far too many end up not making it.” Stewart said entrepreneurism can be a catalyst for social and economic change in a community,

noting B.C. has been registering more success than other provinces of late for attracting venture capital investment, a key factor in promoting entrepreneurial growth. Dr. Benjamin Stevens, who along with his wife operates the Valeo Health chiropractic clinic on Sutherland Avenue in Kelowna, also spoke about his entrepreneurial journey, which has taken him from Moncton, New Brunswick, to chiropractic college in the Silicon Valley, to choosing Kelowna as a place to start his own practice. “My wife and I had been together for six years and felt we were at a stage in our marriage where we could take a leap of faith and become entrepreneurs,” Stevens said. He said they chose Kelowna because of its combination of a smalltown lifestyle and the city’s apparent mandate to grow the high-tech industry. “We put a lot of effort into developing our busi-

ness plan, and the growth we have experienced with our health clinic since starting up in late 2011 has accelerated beyond our initial expectations,” Stevens said. “We are healthy, strong and feel empowered to be living in the Okanagan.” For Young’s society, this is its second major initiative. Last year, the society hosted a roundtable discussion among local business and political leaders to hash out the groundwork for a three-year action plan for local municipalities to adopt for encouraging entrepreneurial growth. Young said business students from UBC Okanagan will begin work this fall to develop the threeyear strategy.

Council frustrated by RDCO gas tax spending priorities Wade Paterson

Both voted against funding the proposed pro-

STAFF REPORTER

The way the Regional District plans to spend $506,000 of its share of gas tax funding has several members of West Kelowna council upset. During the regional board’s Aug. 20 meeting, members approved submitting three projects to the Union of B.C. Municipalities for consideration and approval through Central Okanagan’s share of Regionally Significant Project gas tax funding. The projects include spending $317,969 to upgrade and provide a backup centrifuge at a regional facility that treats septic waste; $150,000 for a regional household travel survey and analysis; $38,000 to review and update the Regional Air Quality Management Plan. “We continue to be amazed at the different ways the Regional District can find to spend money,” said West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater. The biggest problem, according to Findlater, is that the Central Okanagan is in tier two of the Gas Tax Agreement tier structure. If the regional district was in tier one, the money currently allocated for Regionally Significant Project funding would transfer to the Community Works Fund. That would mean more money for West Kelowna to utilize locally. “We’re in tier two (so) the $8.7 million is basically under control of the regional district rather than being allocated per capita,” said West Kelowna Coun. Duane Ophus. “We’re fighting that… and the regional board supports us on that.” Ophus admitted a portion of the money spent from the $8.7 million Regionally Significant Pro-

ject pool has benefited West Kelowna; however, he is not happy about how the remaining $506,000 is being spent. “Some of these projects, in (my) mind, are not anywhere near the top of the list for the way we should be spending this money. “The one I had the biggest problem with was the $317,000 (centrifuge upgrade); coming to us in this fashion was really not acceptable. It was in the regional five-year plan for 2014 for $150,000. The first we heard $150,000 wasn’t going to be enough was when this report for double came to the regional board, with no explanation why. “Spending money this way is not in the best interests of the taxpayers of the regional district because it’s not planned properly and not prioritized properly.” Westside Coun. Rick de Jong said he is especially upset with the money being spent on a regional household travel survey and analysis. “When I see $150,000 for a research project for household travel…I’m dismayed and disappointed,” said de Jong. Findlater agreed, saying, “My gut reaction is that you can probably do a survey like that for about $30,000 and still get useful information, rather than $150,000.” Findlater and Ophus sit on the regional board.

B.C. is losing its summer camp sites

To the editor: If anyone is wondering why there is a continuous loss of camping and RV parks throughout B.C., they need look no further than the provincial government and specifically BC Assessment. The method of property assessment utilized by BC Assessment to determine the highest and best use of many recreational zoned properties throughout B.C. ensuresj that a seasonal campground/ RV park cannot survive in the medium to long term. A case in point is Camp Okanagan Resort, located in the Central Okanagan on the outskirts of Peachland and West Kelowna. Camp Okanagan Resort is a new facility that opened in June 2010 with 21 full-service RV sites, 19 fully furnished upscale cottages, inground pool, laundry and washroom facilities located on a 10 acre, naturally landscaped parcel of land zoned C8–Wilderness Resort Commercial (Link to Camp Okanagan Resort: http://www. homeandweb.com/campokanagan.htm) The property, which falls

Clark is facing a short stint as premier of B.C.

ome may view the growing list of retiring Liberal MLAs this week as the rats leaving a sinking political ship. For others, it may be seen as a Liberal caucus cleansing, bringing in some fresh faces, new ideas to revive the floundering Liberal Party flagship in B.C. But given the recent political gaffes by Premier Christy Clark and her advisors, the momentum behind the idea that she is headed for a catastrophe at the polls next year will only intensify. This past week, Kevin Falcon, George Abbott, Mary McNeil, John Les all announced their decisions to step away from politics. They join a list of eight other MLAs who won’t be back.

And then there is Fraser Valley MLA John van Dongen, a political wildcard who crossed the floor to join the B.C. Conservative Party while continuing a Barry personal mission to unGerding cover whatever was hidden behind the controversial sale of B.C. Rail. Few of these fleeing politicians actually supported Clark in her successful bid to win the party leadership, rallying behind Falcon on the final ballot at the convention. Already, political pundits are speculating that Falcon will sit out the next election and let Clark twist in the wind, leaving the way for him to re-emerge as the party’s potential political salvation come the next election in 2017. Even at our community level, cher-

EDITOR’S NOTE

ry growers meeting earlier this month were encouraged to pressure the local MLAs to seek more help for fruit growers, who are facing a tough harvest year and market price instability, because the three local Liberal MLAs are worried about keeping their jobs in the next election. Trying to counter such speculation has to be disappointing both to the premier and those Liberal party member “outsiders” who voted for her as leader. While she may have tried to mend fences and get the cabinet united behind her, however she specifically set out to do that, it doesn’t appear to have worked. And she is facing an electorate that is not interested in the tired old fear mongering line that an NDP government will ruin any chance for economic growth in B.C. The reality is the Liberals have been

in power too long, and like any government in that situation, it begins to feed on itself as the satisfaction drive for perks and influence overtakes the reasons why the Liberals were elected in the first place. The HST kerfuffle, the stink over the B.C. Rail case, the lack of involvement in the Enbridge pipeline proposal are three areas where Clark hasn’t emerged with a fresh outlook. It is disappointing that someone with Clark’s apparent potential, a previously highranking cabinet minister under Campbell who built up a solid following in her talk radio career discussing issues with listeners she now faces, seems to have so little to offer. Politics can be a fluid business, but right now it seems like holding on to j hope that momentum will swing back in Clark’s favour prior to the 2013 provincial election isn’t looking very good.

Ticketed while parked in empty downtown lot To the editor: Kudos to Commerce Centre and Imperial Parking on their good job of managing the high demand for parking on a Sunday. Our church members volunteer at the Kelowna Gospel Mission every second Sunday and there are usually six people parking where there is very limited space behind the Mission. I was there on Sunday and parked behind

the Commerce Centre as the parking lot was empty. I made the mistake of reading the sign that said Reserved Parking Monday-Saturday and thought it would be OK to park there as I have done previously, and didn’t read further to see “Paid Parking on Sundays.” I’m not sure if this is a recent change as I do not ever remember seeing that there before. After working all afternoon in the Gospel

Mission kitchen I came out to find a parking ticket on my windshield. The patroller could have easily taken 30 seconds to walk across to the back door of the Mission and advise us that there was a vehicle that was going to be ticketed if it wasn’t moved out of the ot, as the Mission is the only facility open on a Sunday within more than a block radius. But instead he slapped a $35 parking ticket, not a warning, on the windshield of the only

car in the lot, patted himself on the back for a job well done and went on his way. It certainly cast a pall on the good feeling of having performed a community service. I will certainly know better next time not to take up that precious parking space in the empty lot without paying. Whoever has invited Imperial Parking to Kelowna has done a huge disservice to the community and to tourism in

our town as they are relentless in their pursuit of issuing tickets to anyone and everyone they can. There’s a fine line between doing your job and being overly zealous. I have been trying to call their Vancouver office all morning and have not been able to get through “due to the high volume of calls.” Probably more happy parkers calling. B. Jarvis, Kelowna

▼ JUSTICE

Sentence delivered depends on station in life A Gift in Memory Makes a Difference

To the editor: RCMP Cpl. Monty Robinson received a one-year conditional sentence, with one month house arrest and the remainder in the community for killing a person on a motor bike then fleeing home to have two shots of vodka (according to him) in order to obstruct justice, leaving a man dying on the road even /though I believe he would be trained in first aid and could have stayed to help and call for immediate assistance. He did return later but those self-preservation minutes could possibly have made a difference.

t▼

Also, we are told the Criminal Justice Branch has decided: ‘There is no reasonable prospect of a successful Crown appeal.” Upon reviewing some of the verdicts for those who took part in the Stanley Cup Riots I see: • A one-month jail sentence for throwing a barricade and rocking a car. • Five months house arrest and 150 hours community service, with the judge wanting to reduce this later to 50 hours of community service but was prohibited by his/her own laws. • 17 months in jail for destroying a police car and smashing windows.

Even though these crimes that were committed during the riot are serious and should be dealt with accordingly, it makes one wonder if we are going back to the time of Charles Dickens where the pauper was hung for stealing a loaf of bread but the gentry, who should know and act better, were let off with just a slap on the wrist. It begs the question: Is justice equal to all or does your position in life reflect on (the judge’s) ruling?

CAMPING OBSOLESCENCE

B.C. gov’t sells RV campsites for greater tax gain Camp Sites from A10 under the jurisdiction of the Regional District of the Central Okanagan (RDCO), was rezoned to Wilderness Resort (C8) from Rural Residential (RU2) in 2008. The change in zoning was supported by the surrounding municipalities of Peachland, Westbank and Kelowna as a means to address the ongoing loss of RV/ campground facilities to redevelopment in the Central Okanagan. The zoning, which sets restrictions on occupancy and use, are designed to ensure that the property will be used for short term tourist accommodation. The primary demand period for tourist accommodation in this area are the summer months. (Link to Zoning: http:// www.regionaldistrict.com/departments/plan-

ning/planning_bylaw871.aspx) BC Assessment is responsible for determining the market value and classification of properties throughout B.C., which subsequently determine individual property taxes. There are several valuation methods used in determining value including an income approach to value, as is generally used for revenue producing or commercially zoned properties. In the case of Camp Okanagan Resort and many other campgrounds and RV parks, BC Assessment has determined that the highest and best use of the land is not as a seasonal tourist business, but to split the land and to sell each of the RV sites to an individual owner. The end result is a valuation that is significantly higher than would be the case for an in-

Give big trucks room they need To the editor: This is the last long weekend before school is back in. To all you travellers out there, my concern is your blatant disregard for long haul truck drivers. That b-train you just cut in front of then slammed on your brakes to make a right hand turn all within a block. Let

me tell you: Those guys are fully loaded and their weight is in the 23 thousand pound range. For him to stop requires additional space—they judge their stopping by the traffic in front of them. I can only imagine little Johnny or little Suzy being crushed and killed by your stupid moves. And if that doesn’t

come valuation for a seasonally operating RV park. The resulting valuation, in conjunction with the land’s commercial classification, results in annual property taxes that are the largest expense component of the business, and in the case of Camp Okanagan Resort, represent approximately 25 per cent of gross annual income. The high level of property taxation is not sustainable for a seasonal campground business. The only option for an operator is to follow BC Assessments recommendation and sell individual sites.

Don’t kill wildlife with kindness

f you’ve ever read Bambi or any of the many stories about cute bandit-faced raccoons, you’d probably not expect either one to turn and attack you—but that’s exactly what’s been happening in recent months. Bambi has a fawn or two and she knows that given half a chance a coyote will attack and kill her offspring and eat it for lunch. So, from that perspective, it’s not surprising that she’s taken a dislike to dogs, who look, smell and walk much like coyotes. And, in fact, dogs have been known to chase deer and kill fawns too. If the dog happens to be with a human doesn’t much matter. A mother will die herself to protect her youngster. And, that’s been happening in the Kootenays as well as right here in the Okanagan, where urban deer—neighbourhood deer—those accustomed to the sight and smell and food of humans, have become too comfortable around we who walk on two legs. We’re willing to accept their presence as long as they’re just passing by, but when they invade our gardens, attack our pets and threaten our well-being, we draw the line. Dogs have been severely injured by the sharp hooves of an aggressive doe protecting her fawn, who now thinks your garden is her banquet table. She may even have been born in the corner of your garden, grown up dodging cars on your residential street, and is now having her fawns

under your bedroom window. But, she knows the danger posed by your dog and will assertively protect herself and her Judie young from it, even Steeves if that means harming you and your dog in the process. Some Kootenay communities have instituted deer culls to reduce the number of urban deer because human life is being threatened by them. Yet, it’s something we’ve created ourselves by taming them; by feeding them; by providing some protection from natural predators such as cougars, who are reluctant to approach human homes, and simply by encouraging them to lose their natural fear of humans. So when they do what’s natural, is it fair for us to take them out? There’s not much option if they’re behaving in a threatening way, but we must also stop doing what we do that’s attracting them out of the wild. It’s the same with other wild animals.

TRAIL MIX

BANDITS Raccoons are nocturnal. They see very well at night and normally they feed at night rather than during the day, so there’s something not quite right about seeing one scavenging for food during the daytime. Most people envision them as fuzzy, gentle animals with their characteristic ringed tails and black mask on the face, so perhaps there’s a tendency to want to domesticate them by providing bits of food to entice them to hang around. What we’re doing, though, is encouraging un-natural behaviour

for our own entertainment, and it’s bound to backfire at some point. That appears to have been what happened last week in downtown Vancouver when a woman walking her dogs was attacked by a raccoon neighbours say was being fed by another neighbour. I’ve watched near Lost Lagoon in Stanley Park as people fed the raccoons and thought to myself what a mistake that was. Raccoons have long claws and sharp teeth and they can be vicious as well as gentle. This raccoon showed the mean side of her personality when she spotted the woman with her dogs last week and when she didn’t want to feed her. She’d lost her natural fear of man and she turned on the woman and her dogs, scratching and biting as she attacked her—and as her young looked on. Like the deer in the Kootenays, her days were numbered from that first hiss. We’ve been told over and over again that a fed bear is a dead bear because once he associates humans with an easy food supply, he has lost his fear of man. If he doesn’t get what he wants as easily as he’s become accustomed to, he’ll become more and more aggressive until one day, you’ll turn around and find him ripping apart your kitchen garbage— in your kitchen. The answer is to not feed wild animals; to not encourage them to hang around people and not be comfortable around humans, as much fun as that may seem to be. Keep them wild and let them live.

Downtown parkade plan hits land use covenant roadblock Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The woman who led the fight to have a 67-yearold land use covenant that covers a large swath of downtown Kelowna upheld by the courts four years ago is now speaking out against a proposed new downtown parkade. Stanley Simpson, Sharron Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather, sold the city land in 1945 that now makes up

a large area of downtown between the lake and Ellis Street north of Queensway. That land was covered by what has become known as the Simpson covenant, which places restrictions on business use for the property. The land covers a large area of the downtown core between Okanagan Lake and Ellis Street, north of Queensway Avenue. Simpson has writ-

ten to Mayor Walter Gray and city council saying building a parking structure on land between the existing Kelowna Heritage Museum and Memorial Arena as part of a new office tower project would go against the court ruling that upheld the covenantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal standing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision also doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense in light of the (four-yearold) Supreme Court decision ordering the city to

disallow commercial use on the covenant lands, as well as councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own decision a year ago, to not allow the minor commercial use of the sale of hot chocolate beside the Stuart Park skating rink,â&#x20AC;? writes Simpson in her letter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The parking structure with rented spaces is a commercial use.â&#x20AC;? Four years ago, the city and a group lead by Simpson calling itself Save The

Heritage Simpson Covenant Society squared off in court over the validity of the covenant, and the society won. The court upheld the terms of the covenant, agreed to by the city when Stanley Simpson sold the land in 1945. The covenant says the land it covers has to be used for municipal purposes and not commercial or industrial use, and cannot be sold.

tower site has long been identified within City Hall as the location of a multistorey parking structure.â&#x20AC;? The city has indicated it is considering a new parkade as part of plan to built the new IHA tower on a site bordered by Ellis and St. Paul Streets and Doyle Avenue. Recent news of the proposed office tower received support from many merchants downtown because of the amount of people it would bring to the area and because it could be a potential shot in the arm to revitalizing the downtown core. The multi-storey development would relocate and consolidate the health authorityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kelowna offices into one central location downtown. In her letter, Simpson asks council to respect the covenant and court ruling, which, she says binds the city in perpetuity to protect the lands covered by the covenant. As of late Thursday, the city had not publicly responded to the Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

In her letter to the mayor and council, Simpson says a parking structure on the property between the museum and Memorial Arena would, unlike the flat parking lot that it there today, be the primary land use and determine its use for many decades to come. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As downtown Kelowna continues to densify, green space becomes increasingly scarce and increasingly vital to its well-being. Why would council take the one area in the downtown core that belongs to the whole community through a registered covenant, and build on it to benefit a few?â&#x20AC;? Simpson says approving the construction of a parkade on the property would also go against the court ruling. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It seems an easy and lazy way for council to make an important land use decision â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by simply crossing the street from the proposed new building and saying, fine, we will build replacement parking here,â&#x20AC;? she writes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would also note that the proposed new IHA

Rehab your vehicle to help KGH rehab unit

Buck LaRoche, owner of Auto Trim Line, suffered a near-death motorcycle accident on Sept. 4, 2006, and wants to commemorate the anniversary of that accident by giving back to those who helped him recover from his injuries. So on Tuesday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Auto Trim Line will hold an exterior wash and detail by donation drive to raise funds for the rehabilitation centre at Kelowna General Hospital. â&#x20AC;&#x153;KGH kept me alive,â&#x20AC;? LaRoche explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had internal injuries, a severed foot, a ripped aorta, a broken pelvis, and the list goes on. After I had my lower left Ieg amputated, I spent three months as an in-patient in rehab and another 12 months as an out-patient. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really appreciate what the rehab department did for me and am grateful to have had the professional and knowledgeable staff to help me through my journey. KGHâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rehab Department is one of the best in B.C. and so I wanted to give back.â&#x20AC;? Beyond next Tuesday, LaRoche plans to hold a similar vehicle wash and detail fundraiser on the 4th of every month to continue supporting the KGH Rehabiliation Department. Auto Trim Line is located at 264 Leon Ave.

Kelowna residents interested in attending the free workshop are asked to register for the session at kelowna.ca/environment or by phoning 250-469-8881.

rouping plants by water needs is one of the seven principles of xeriscape. Now that the weather is cooling off and day length is rapidly decreasing, this is an excellent time to evaluate how each plant in the garden has

more water than the rest of the plants in that watering zone? Did any plants frequently wilt? Do any plants have crispy leaves? These are both stress signals that the plants needed more water. If most of the bed was

fine and only a few plants showed stress these could be moved to an area with plants that get more water. Often these same plants will be fine in a low water situation if they get more shade—particularly from the hot midday and afternoon sun.

well and it is something I’m not really attached to, I may plan to give it away to someone who has a more suitable place for the plant. Another aspect of watering to evaluate right now is the ease of watering. Are there areas that need watering but are hard to water effectively because they are an odd shape? Are there areas that are impossible to water without watering hard surfaces such as a driveway or sidewalk, thus wasting water? Plans could be made to change each of these areas to extremely drought tolerant plantings which would need little or no water once plants are established. You can learn about all of the Principles of Xeriscape in my two-night class beginning Sept. 24. Details and registration information are on the OXA website.

Conversely, if plants in a partly shaded bed are leaning toward the sun, they need to be moved to a sunnier location. Over-watering can also stress plants. Too much water can lead to tall weak growth that needs to be staked. Plants will not look their best. Staking is a maintenance task that can often be avoided by reducing the irrigation on a plant so it will have shorter, sturdy, compact growth. Another indication of over-watering can be an aphid attack on new growth and buds. Aphids like juicy new growth and are attracted to plants that are stressed by over-watering. Next year watering could be cut back for the whole garden bed unless it is just a few plants that need less. In that case they could be moved to a drier location. My own garden is in a constant state of experimentation to see what does well in sandy soil and with tree root competition so there are always changes to be made. If a plant is not doing

The Kelowna Newcomers Club will reconvene regular meetings this fall on Wednesday, Sept. 19, 7 p.m., at the Water Street Seniors Centre. Anyone who has settled in Kelowna over the past two years is welcome to join and meet other individuals and couples who have decided to settle here. The club exists for people to make friends and learn more about of wonderful community in Kelowna. As of this summer, the club had more than 200 members but 70 of those people will graduate on in September to a sister club called Plus Threes. Plus Threes is an extension of the newcomers club, which has a three-year membership limit, that allows participants to continue with club activities. At the Sept. 19 meeting, newcomer club members will be entertained by local musician and fellow newcomer Stephen Buck. Buck has already established himself in the local music scene and helps run a jazz drop-in at Rotary Centre For the Arts most Thursday evenings. He is a world-class saxophone and clarinet player and is an enthusiastic member of the town band and Okanagan Symphony. Annmarie Wilhelm, president of Kelowna Newcomers Club, said: “This club offers fantastic value at only $25 a year for each newcomer. We supply tea, coffee and muffins at our meetings and the chance to sign up to over a dozen social activities. “Since our club was formed, over a 1,000 Kelowna newcomers have made lifelong friends in the community. If you have arrived in Kelowna over the past two years, why not join us?” There will be eight meetings this season plus two dinner dances at local venues. Just turn up at any one of meetings or check up on the club’ activities at kelownanewcomers.org. For more information call club publicity officer Max Mosley at 250-762-6279.

ENTERTAINMENT Theatre in spotlight for hosting variety of entertainers for 50 years Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

To say the Kelowna Community Theatre adds to this community would be a colossal understatement. For every one of its 50 years, there’s a funny anecdote or tidbit likely to come out at its 50th anniversary tribute being held Sept. 13, the same day residents of Kelowna opened its doors for the first time, dragging their lawn chairs in to watch performances as the aisles were still waiting for permanent seating. Since that day, it’s seen rock stars, movies stars, theatre types, dancers and musicians from every corner of the music industry praise its beautiful waterfront footprint and laud the unusual sound quality. “I’m not enough of an audiophile to know the scientific reasons for why it sounds so good in there. I just know that it does and it consistently does,” said popular local singer Robert Fine. Of course, every per-

former can have a rough night. Fine can remember at least one doozy in front of its elegantcurtains. He was once booked for a dating club event and arrived to discover he was the sole entertainment, set to sing to recorded tracks on the stage alone for two hours; needless to say, he was down off that stage, trying to work the crowd in person quite quickly, sweat upon the brow. “It was a long night,” he laughed in interview this week. But for every cringeworthy moment, the performers who arrive at the base of Doyle Avenue to bring a laugh or a tear to our eyes have a dozen fond memories. KCT is the place Fine met his band, for instance, as both were booked for Kelowna’s 100th birthday celebration. “It’s such an asset to have in a smaller city that’s sort of working on becoming a bigger city,” he said. From Diana Krall to Ray Charles he can personally count a string of top talents he’s managed to see live without

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS of hosting entertainment, the Kelowna Community Theatre is better than ever. every leaving the valley, thanks to the stage. Like Fine, Doug Son-

ju is a part of that talent. Sonju started playing at the theatre in 1971

with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra, which was then an entirely ama-

teur affair. Now the principal clarinet for the OSO, Sonju remembers how the Black Box Theatre in the back of KCT was once a rehearsal room, though the sign on the door read “reheasal.” He will be among the performers in a woodwind octet scheduled to play for the 50th anniversary concert. Joined by the OSO’s brand new principal flute, principal bassoon player and principal oboe player, he will be serenading the audience with Mozart. “We wanted the show to feature some of the theatre’s loyal tenants,” explained Dale Allen Berg, of KeyNote Productions, the company producing the anniversary celebration. While a string of bigname talent is planned for the theatre’s 50th year, the actual anniversary itself will be all local. Ballet Kelowna will bring a piece originally choreographed on its artistic director David LaHay. Lignes and Pointes features two couples, one

performing lifts that draw beautiful lines on stage in contrast to the couple working with strong footwork en pointe. Originally choreographed by Brian Mcdonald and Brydon Paige of Les Grande Ballet Canadiens, the work was considered on the forefront of the avant-guarde choreography that drew dance away from the strict structure of the formal ballets and into a new world of movement. The ballet dancers will be joined by Theatre Kelowna Society, Wentworth Music, Dance City Academy, Fine, the OSO woodwinds, local jazz singer Anna Jacyszyn and opera singer Alexandra Babble. The event should prove an extraordinary testament to the talent KCT hosts every year and the scope of artistry working in the valley. Tickets are $15 available through Select Your Tickets (www.selectyourtickets.com) or by calling 250-762-5050. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 13.

No contemporary artist comes close to Etta James’ force

ETTA JAMES: LIVE AT MONTREUX 1975-1993 (EAGLE RECORDS) Etta James’ contribution to R&B, blues, jazz and even rock cannot be overstated. She was blessed with one of the most powerful voices in contemporary music and she enjoyed dozens of hits during her career which started in the mid1950s. James was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, The Blues Hall Of Fame and The Grammy Hall of Fame while racking up 17 Blues Music Awards and a half dozen Grammys. When she passed away earlier this year after a lengthy illness, her album At Last with her title signature song, hit the top 10 album sales. Meanwhile, Rolling Stone magazine ranked

2012 Kelowna

James No. 22 on SOUNDING its list of all-time OFF greatest singers. James was also a regular at the famed Montreux Music festivals and this new postBruce humous album Mitchell features several highlights from her performances in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s. There are too many great performances to mention but the opener is the great Willie Dixon classic I Just Want To Make Love To You that is so forceful and full of sexual aggression it makes any other version if this gem you may have ever heard, sound wimpy in comparison.

My fave track is a cool gospel/ rock version of The Staple Singers’ evergreen Respect Yourself while James offers a strong and ribald version of her huge hit I’d Rather Go Blind. James proves her worth as a torch singer on the jazzy A Lover Is Forever while she proves to still be a worthy ballad singer on the handsome medley of At Last/Trust In Me/A Sunday Kind Of Love. On a few of these songs James adds lots of double entendres and cheeky asides for cheap

audience thrills but mostly this is a stellar live set that clocks in at over 70 minutes. My only minor complain is that her superb backing band with full horn section is not credited as there are a few cool solos here on guitar, flute and sax. Fans should note that the entire 1993 Montreux concert will be released on DVD and Bluray at the end of this month. B+

MORNING PARADE: (PARLOPHONE/EMI) This is the debut album from England’s Morning Parade as produced by Blur fixture Jason Cox at Damon Albarn’s studio. The five-some has had considerable success in the U.K. opening for the likes of Florence And The Machine and Tinchy Strider while their singles sold well enough to encourage a career. This 11-track album collects those singles for a domestic release and Morning Parade are somewhat slightly better than the rest of the field of indie synth rock that is greatly overcrowded. The album makes for a passable listen but there is no killer track to really grab your attention on this self-titled debut. Sometimes the group’s harmonies turn into soccer chants like on Us & Ourselves while the closing track, Born Alone, ventures into shoe gazer territory. Morning Parade also too often fall into the loud/quiet/fast/slow song arrangements that show a lack of imagination but the song Close To Your Heart, with its straight up indie rock pulse, and the folk pop of Half Liter Bottle, shows more depth. The album has made the middle of the pack of the Heatseekers chart while the song Headlights has become a minor rock hit. A band to watch but don’t expect any imminent masterpieces. C+

Morning Parade debut album bands that bookended the new millennium. To celebrate their 20 years together Incubus opened up a store front studio on La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles that they dubbed the Head Quarters—and hence the title HQ Live—to record large chunks of their past catalogue over four different nights. The result is this Special Edition two-CD and DVD set (also available in a one CD/DVD set). The band decided to not make a newly recorded greatest hits collection but focused more on popular album tracks that proved to be fan favourites in concert. There are several of their better known hits that are eschewed and overlooked here but there are sinewy and stripped down takes of hits such as Promises, Promises, Love Hurts, Anna Molly and Circles. The copy sent to me is the Special Edition version that has 28 tunes on the double CD set while the DVD has well over two hours of video performances taken from their store front HQ. This will come off as a fans only release but Incubus are being praised for their electrifying performances, however; if it is an overview of just the hits, you might want to look elsewhere. B-

Local musicians, singers rally to help a fallen friend W hat comes around, goes around—and as far as I am concerned (and many others) Floyd has it coming to him. Unless you have been hiding under a very large rock of late, you are likely aware of the upcoming FloydFest on Sept. 6 set for the Kelowna Community Theatre. Floydfest is a fundraiser planned to assist popular Okanagan rock n’ roll musician Floyd

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge Vedan, who was brutally attacked last month and spent several weeks recovering in hospital. Organizers of the event, including local music legends Jim LeGuil-

loux and Brad Krauza, are anticipating the upcoming concert and silent auction to be the music highlight of the year. A plethora of friends of the talented musician are rallying around the cause donating their time for the show. The night is already looking like the who’s who of Okanagan musical talent. The latest (and for me the most exciting) announcement of musicians

taking part was made earlier this week when award winning roots/country artists The Cruzeros agreed to reunite for one night as one of the headliners of the evening. Curtis Tulman, Barry Mathers, Gary Smyth, Rod Millar and crew, say they are ‘ready to ride again’ in assisting Floyd. Fittingly, it was Tulman who put the amazing energy of the upcoming show into perspective when he told me, “I’m not surprised at all with how the community has rallied behind this event. Floyd is a huge part of the musical fellowship in the valley and he has always been a leader in good deeds. “Floyd has always, always been there to help others and so I’m not surprised at the outpouring of support from folks.” Well spoken, Mr. Tulman.

Joining The Cruzeros on stage on Sept. 6 will be a number of other amazing musicians including Darby Mills, The Flu, Fields of Green, Leah West, Jane Eamon and Gord, Gary Turlock (this boy can sing folks— wow), the Zamboni Brothers (best party band in the valley) Andrew and Zachari Smith—the list goes on. Admission is by donation at KCT with doors opening at 6 p.m. and music starting soon after. Rose’s Water Front Pub hosts the evening and an after party is set for Rose’s following the concert. Anyone wishing to donate items for the silent auction is encouraged to call Bernadette at 250215-5777. ••• Before the clock ticks too much further, a hearty

round of applause and congratulations to local music legend Rann Berry. A few weeks back Rann performed his One Hit Wonder’s showcase at Kelowna Community Theatre and a packed house was more than delighted with the show. Considering the amount of talent Berry has, I am not surprised the evening was a huge success from the opening act to the final tune of the night. He led Kelowna music lovers down memory lane with his continuous set of great tunes by one hit wonder musicians. If there is any true ‘crooner’ in Kelowna aside from Robert Fine, it’s Rann Berry. He even looks like the sort of musical star that should be strutting his stuff in Los Vegas. Thankfully, for Oka-

Now in its eighth year of operation the music school has gained a reputation for putting on the largest student rock productions in Canada. The shows give students a chance to perform under lights, effects, pro sound and tour-like staging twice a year in front of sold out audiences. All proceeds from these shows are donated to local hospitals to assist children. To date, Wentworth Music has raised over $81,000 to help kids in Kelowna and Vernon. Amazing. Last week Noel and students enjoyed their most memorable musical moments. Under the direction of Noel and associate instructor, Kerry Rottacker, six students and parents from the WMEC in Kelowna took a trip of a lifetime to perform and tour Australia. The student band, called The Hits—Wentworth Music’s Elite Student Band, consisted of Katia Wells-Green, Riley Russell, Adam Pendleton, Riley Bentham, Chelsey Ivarson and Tyler Sarris. The group performed shows and worked alongside some of the best professional coaches in the country as well as took in the sights of Melbourne and Sydney.

Guthrie gets to see world with Team Canada

Rockets open pre-season with Giants

By Kevin Parnell

Race in France as well as his best ever World Cup finish, a 13th at the North American World Cup.

STAFF REPORTER

2012 might be the most consistent season so far for Peachland mountain biker Evan Guthrie. He’s taken part in every Team Canada racing project so far this season, with trips to Texas, Mexico, Europe and parts of North America. Now the 21-year-old is looking to cap off the season with an exclamation point with another Team Canada venture, this time to Saalfelden, Austria for the 2012 UCI World Mountain Bike Championships. “I’ve done quite a few trips this season and I’ve tried to be at all the big races,” said Guthrie, who will compete in the Under-23 men’s cross country mountain bike race. “I’d like to finish off the season on a high note. I’d like all the work I’ve done to pay off. I’ve put in some of the best work of my life this year.” Among Guthrie’s best results this season was a fifth place finish in the Under-23 category at the Pan American cycling championships in Mexico, the best result ever for a U-23 Canadian rider at a European World Cup

‘‘

I’D LIKE TO FINISH OFF THE SEASON ON A HIGH NOTE. I’D LIKE ALL THE WORK I’VE DONE TO PAY OFF. I’VE PUT IN SOME OF THE BEST WORK OF MY LIFE THIS YEAR. Evan Guthrie

It’s all leading up to the World Championships for Guthrie who says he will give everything he has at the event. “I want to put together a good race and finish the race having given it my all,” he said, prior to flying to Austria on Wednesday. “I don’t want to finish and say ‘I could have done more.’ I want to finish and leave it all on the course and hopefully that will be good enough.” Dangling in the near distance for Guthrie is some federal funding. A finish inside the top 10

lete, Guthrie has to pay for his flight, accommodation and meals for the trip and works part-time at the Bike Barn in Penticton to help offset costs. “That would be huge (to get funded),” he said.

The Kelowna Rockets open up the Western Hockey League exhibition season tonight (Friday) with a game in Vancouver and will follow that up with a home game on Saturday against the Giants at Prospera Place. The home and home series with the Giants kicks off a six-game exhibition schedule for Kelowna after the team broke training camp Thursday night at Prospera Place. Rockets head coach Ryan Huska said the games will give the team a chance to continue to look at players. “This is a time when a lot of younger guys get a chance to play,” he said. “For them it’s a chance to make us take a harder look at them. They are always interesting games because the younger guys really have a chance to shine.” The exhibition games come on the heels of a week and a half of training camp for the Rockets,

which started with 145 rookies and this week featured three teams hitting the ice twice a day at Prospera Place. “I think for the most part we’ve seen good scrimmages and I think our practices have been good too,” said Huska. “It’s been a bit of a challenge for the players with the two sessions per day but I thought it went pretty well.” Among the first releases from training camp were the Rockets 2012 draft class, all of which aren’t eligible to play fulltime for the Rockets this season. Drafted this summer, the 15-year-olds were sent back to their minor hockey associations on Wednesday. Rockets director of player personnel Lorne Frey said the group had a good showing this year.

“If you didn’t have to work you could train more and maybe get some more results. But you have to work. I’m just paying my dues and trying to make it happen. If you want something bad enough it will happen.” While Guthrie isn’t focussed on securing some federal funding, he does have long term goals in the sport. At just 21 he says the next three Summer Olympics are within reach if he continues to progress and still loves the sport. “That’s definitely the number one thing,” he said of the Olympics. “I want to do everything I can to make it happen. It would be great and I would be pretty happy. Things are slowly progressing. Things are going in the right direction. If things weren’t going in the right direction I think it would be tough. But the fun part is trying to make it work. It’s not fun if things come really easy. Seeing all the work pay off is the great thing.” Guthrie will race in the Under-23 world championships on Sept. 7 and you can follow the results on www.canadiancyclist. com.

Midget AAA ball is back

After a four-year absence, midget AAA baseball was back in the Central Okanagan in 2012. The West Kelowna DBacks recently completed their inaugural season in the B.C. Midget AAA Baseball League. Like any typical fledgling team, the DBacks struggled early, but strung together several wins late in the season to finish ninth in the provincial circuit with a 7-29 record. D-Backs assistant coach Thomas Katelnikoff said it was important to re-establish the midget AAA game locally to give

young players in the area an additional option. Kelowna hasn’t had a AAA midget squad since the Rutland Rockies in 2008. “It’s a good competitive brand of baseball, and it’s an alternative to the PBL (Premier Baseball League) where the kids don’t have to make quite the same time commitment,” said Katelnikoff, who is also president of West Kelowna Minor Baseball. “The PBL is a great league, but we think this gives even more kids a chance to play the game at a pretty high level. Base-

ball is growing in B.C. and there are more kids playing than ever. “It was a real positive season for us and the kids really enjoyed it.” Coached by head man Todd Loepkky and Katelnikoff, the DBacks had two players who recently competed with Team B.C. at the Baseball Canada Midget Championships in Quebec. Shortstop Rees Weninger and pitcher Eric McGinn helped their province to the silver medal as B.C. lost in the championship game to Alberta. Four DBacks also

played in the B.C. Midget AAA all-star game: Weninger, McGinn, Joey Fraser and Brett Loeppky. The West Kelowna club will have a light fall schedule of between 10 and 15 games. Then in 2013, Katelnikoff said the DBacks will return for their second season. “We’re only losing two Grade 12s, so we should have a good core returning,” said Katelnikoff. “It was a good learning year, but we’ll be older and better next season.” For more information on the DBacks, call Tom at 250-864-2198.

Doege defensive player o’ week Chalk up yet another award for Steven Doege. For the second time this season, the Okanagan Sun defensive lineman has been named the B.C. Lions Defensive Player of the Week in the B.C. Football Conference. The 21-year-old Doege established a new Canadian Junior Football League record last weekend for career sacks. The 6-foot-3, 240- pound Rutland grad had 1.5 sacks in a 34-3 loss to the home-

town Langley Rams on Saturday and now has 37.5 for his career. “It’s an incredible accomplishment and he’s worked very hard to get where he is,” Sun coach Gavin Lake said of Doege’s record-setting achievement. “He has another year and a half he could be playing here, so he has a chance to obliterate the mark. We’re excited for him.” It’s the second time this season the award has

TRU WolfPack get experience in Urban

Warriors vs Wild

The Okanagan College Coyotes loss is Thompson Rivers University’s gain. After the OC Coyotes hockey team folded, Kelowna collegiate player Jordan Urban has decided to attend TRU to pursue a Masters in Business Administration. The 5-foot-9 Urban spent the last three seasons playing with the Coyotes but will take his experience to Kamloops with the Coyotes ceasing operations for the coming season. The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack men’s hockey team has added some experience to their blue line. General manager Chris Hans and head coach Don Schulz are pleased to announce the signing of their 12 th prospect for the 2012-13 BC Intercollegiate Hockey League season. “I’m extremely excited about coming to play for the WolfPack while

ate hockey with Thompson Rivers University this fall.

The West Kelowna Warriors close out the B.C. Hockey League exhibition schedule Friday night at Royal LePage Place against a team from the North American Hockey League. The Wenatchee Wild pay a visit to West Kelowna as the Warriors continue to work toward the start of the BCHL season next weekend at the BCHL Showcase event in Chilliwack. The Warriors enter the weekend with 25 players still with the team after a solid training camp. “It’s gone really well for us,” said coach Rylan Ferster, entering his second season with the Warriors. “The one thing that has stood out for us is the way our veterans

completing my MBA,” said Urban, who had three assists in 23 games with the Coyotes last season and 16 penalty minutes. “ I was looking at applying for the MBA program at the end of last year but I decided I would take some time off before going back to school. When Chris (Hans) called me and asked to play this year I looked into the program. When I was accepted, it was an easy decision to make.” Urban, a graduate of the Kelowna Minor Hockey Association, says his skating and his two way ability are his main strengths. “I felt TRU was the best option for me scholastically,” he said. “It’s only 10 month program compared to some of the programs at other schools that run for two years. With TRU being so close to home, it’s a good fit for

me.” Urban was also considering SFU and UBC but was also sold on the Thompson Rivers program being designed for recent business graduates. “While it is very unfortunate that OC ceased operation of their hockey program, I am very excited to add a player of Jordan’s quality and character to our program,” said Hans. “Jordan brings veteran experience to our blue-line corps having played three seasons in the BCIHL. I expect him to be a steadying influence both in the dressing room and on the ice.”

SLAP SHOTS… Urban had three goals and five assists along with 20 minutes in penalty time in 24 games his rookie campaign with the Coyotes (2009-10). He played 20 games in his second year (2010-11)

Heat women wrap up preseason The UBC Okanagan women’s soccer team will close out its 2012 pre-season schedule this weekend on the road. The Heat, who played Thursday at Trinity Western, will be in Abbotsford Friday night to take on the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades. Both UBC Okanagan teams will open their PacWest regular seasons with a two-game homestand on Sept. 8 and 9. The Kwantlen Eagles play the Heat on Saturday and the Douglas College Royals will battle the Kelowna squad on the Sunday. Saturday the games are at 1 p.m. (women) and 3 p.m. (men), with Sunday’s games at noon and 2 p.m. on the Nonis Sports Field at UBC’s Okanagan campus.

HEAT ATHLETICS

HEAT veteran Liz Babcock hopes to lead UBC Okanagan this season to a third straight provincial medal. The Heat women are coming off an impressive showing at the Alberta Cup last weekend in Calgary. After losing their opening game 1-0 to Mount Royal, UBCO rebounded with a 7-1 pounding of the Calgary Blizzard U18 team, then on Sunday took down the University of Lethbridge 6-0. The victory over the UL Pronghorns, a CIS team, by such a wide margin drew praise from Heat head coach Claire Paterson. “The game really showed just how determined and committed our team can be,” said Paterson. “Everyone showed great character and worked well together to get the result we were looking for.” From well-seasoned veterans to the first year players, our team really came together and

showed just how strong we can be. Newcomer, Taylor Candelario (1st year, forward, Honolulu) scored twice for the Heat, while two other newcomers netted goals, as Caitlin (CJ) Murchie (1st year, forward, Calgary) and Mairi Horth both scored. Veterans Madeleine Greig (2nd year, forward, Penticton) and Taylor Sarchet (4th year, midfielder, Surrey) rounded out UBC Okanagan’s scoring. Sabrina Gasparac (5th year, Langley) and Christine Tallon (3rd year, Kamloops) split the match at keeper to earn the shutout. “This was a great finish to the Calgary tournament. The Heat are looking forward to playing other Canada West teams this upcoming weekend,” adds Paterson.

Du Toit crowned jr. champ Junior golfers from across western Canada came together at Predator Ridge Golf Resort last weekend to compete for four division titles in the MapleLeaf Junior Tour Okanagan Junior Championship. A first-class golf experience and two fantas-

tic weather days were capped off by 17-yearold Jared Du Toit being crowned MJT Okanagan Junior Champion and receiving an exemption into the San Diego Junior Amateur Golf Championship which is held in January 2013 near San Diego, CA, USA.

Du Toit, 17, of Kimberley, BC, managed the difficult Predator Ridge course with relative ease, firing back-to-back rounds of 68 (six-under-par 136), good enough for a three shot victory in the Boys See Junior Golf A25

Kelowna Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soccer League playoff results

The Kelowna Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soccer League playoffs kicked off Tuesday night with Division 1 action: â&#x20AC;˘ Modern Furniture Pikeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s were nothing like their dominant, regular season selves on Tuesday as they barely squeaked by a tough SOB FC side. The game started in a stalemate until Pikeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Justin Kandola was sent in on a breakaway and finished to make it 1-0 rheading into half-time. Things got worse for SOB as Pikeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alain Oene-

ma finished off a quality string of passing to open up the second half. Brett Aynsley brought some life into SOB after finishing via a header to make it 2-1. Pikeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s would get another from Tom Hardwick with 20 minutes left to seemingly lock up the game for them. However, SOB would be awarded a penalty kick that Aynsley converted to make from an interesting finish that included SOBâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keeper joining in on an attakking corner kick. It was all

for not, though, as Pikeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s held on for the slender 3-2 win and a spot in the playoff semiâ&#x20AC;˘ Brandtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek Pub FC had a bit of work on their hands also with Kon Kast Stallions. Led by John Saufferer, the Stallions gave Brandtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all they could handle, but ended up on the wrong side of a 4-1 Brandtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s win. Two early goals from Dave Crawford and Mike Jaschke, via some great work by Ben Goward, put the Pubbers ahead 2-0. Kon Kast

made a push forward and create a turnover that let Saufferer walk in and finish a breakaway to make it 2-1. Brandtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s would battle back and get a third before half time after a beautiful long ball from Matt Arruda found Greg Godber who finished his breakaway cooly. The second half didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t produce much for either team until Gary Allen was sprung on a breakaway with about 10 minutes remaining to put the game out of reach, 4-1 Brandtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

â&#x20AC;˘ Ecora FC pulled out a solid 2-0 win over LCSC Woodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pub to advance to the semi-finals. Not allowing a single dangerous scoring chance and two first half goals from Josh Fink and Matt Goodis were all that Ecora needed in pulling out the win. Ecora will hope to keep up their stingy defense going for the semi-finals where they will meet Brandtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Creek Pub FC. â&#x20AC;˘ Dakodaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Celtic pulled out a nail-biter over a resilient Illegal Aliens squad. The Aliens started

with only nine players, later growing to ten, which created an uphill battle from the outset. The first half ended in a dead-lock, however, some fireworks occurred in the second half. A handball by an Illegal Aliens player in the penalty area led to a red card, bringing their player count back down to only nine. Nic Moretto stepped up and buried the penalty for Celtic. It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t five minutes later that the Aliens showed some of that resilience and march down the field to convert

a goal after a cross from Dhaamin Clarke was headed in by Nico Boesten to bring the game back to an even score, 1-1. However, with only five minutes remaining, Celtic would get their go-ahead goal from Brett Butchart. The Aliens pushed everyone forward including their keeper in the waning moments, but it was all for not, as Dakodaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Celtic held on for the 2-1 win. Celtic will now have a meeting with Modern Furniture Pikeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the playoff semi-finals.

â&#x2013;ź GOLF DIGEST

Harvest championships down to the wire Kapchinsky girls jr. champion It came down to the last hole to determine both the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and ladies club champions at the Harvest Golf Club last weekend. After finishing runner up to Will Deck in 2010 and 2011, Chad Jones clawed back from a three shot deficit to shoot a 6 under par 66 on Sunday, defeating Deck for his first club championship title. Jones made a birdie on hole 15 to even the score and then captured the title with a short birdie putt on the 18th after Deck narrowly missed his birdie chance. The ladies side had a similar story, with Cath-

erine Buchanan up against two-time defending champion Cindy Moore-Mulcahy. Buchanan took her first day, one shot lead, all the way to the 18th hole on Sunday, holding off a charge from Moore-Mulcahy to capture the 2012 title. Pat Williams captured the overall net award for the ladies. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ Kelowna Golf and Country Club golfers Brandon Ortiz of West Kelowna and Casey Sullivan of Kelowna were the top finishing boys at the B.C. Juvenile Golf Championships Aug. 21 to 23 at the Princeton Golf Club

Ortiz finished the three-round event at 12 over par after rounds of 73-73-80 and was tied for 14th. Sullivan shot rounds of 77-74-78 to finish in a tie for 16th. Sixty-five golfers made the cut after two rounds including local players Lionel Taylor (T22), Cole Baldigara (T24), Trevor Pereverezoff (T47), Colton Share (61). In the juvenile girls side of the event, Kylie Jack of the Two Eagles Golf Club finished in 9th place after rounds of 8181-86. Tiegan Taylor of Ke-

lowna was in 11th place while West Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rhiannon Jones of Shannon Lake was 14th. â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘ The Molson Tour recreational golf tour wrapped up with its final matches in two divisions on Monday at the Okanagan Golf Club.

NEWS ▼ SILVER LAKE KIDS CAMP

Interior Savings fund to assist outdoor education program Silver Lake Kids Camp youth participants have already benefitted from $19,818 in new equipment needed to revitalize and enhance the Central Okanagan Y’s Camp Outdoor Education program. The new equipment was purchased from a donation by the Interior Savings Community Investment Fund. The YMCA/YWCA has a long standing commitment to providing children and youth with a welcoming, positive, challenging and supportive camp experience. The Silver Lake program has become a cornerstone of that commitment, teaching children leadership and team build-

ing skills, enhancing their respect and knowledge of our forests and environment, and helping them to build confidence, independence and friendships. Program activities include archery, canoeing, logger sports, swimming and fishing, pond studies, crafts and drama and geocaching and hiking. In order to sustain the Silver Lake program, much of the equipment required replacement. The Interior Savings donation purchased hand held GPS units for geocaching, pond nets, terrariums, fishing gear, canoes, paddle boards, lifejackets and a new swim dock. “We are thrilled to be able to make an immediate difference at Silver

DWK seeks input on CNR Wharf upgrades West Kelowna residents are encouraged to complete an online survey aimed at providing feedback into design concepts for proposed improvements to the CNR Wharf at Gellatly Bay. The survey is open until Sept. 10 and can be accessed via a link on the municipality’s home page at districtofwestkelowna.ca. Design concepts were developed using feedback from an ideas survey and a youth survey that were conducted earlier this year, and the general direction given during the development of the Waterfront Plan. Input received through the survey, and from an open house held at the wharf Aug. 23, will be used in the creation of a CNR Wharf Park Plan, to contain recommendations for phased in improvements to the wharf.

THE 12-ACRE ESTATE WHIM MUSEUM on St. Croix offers a look at what life was like 250 years ago on sugar-cane plantations that dominated the island. The restored Great House was built about 1760 and was rebuilt several times. It is 95 feet long and 35 feet wide with 16-foot ceilings. Its walls are 30 inches thick.

FREDERIKSTED, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islandsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Estate Whim Museum provides a look at what life was like 250 years ago on a sugar-cane island. It includes the plantation house, slave quar-

ters, outlying buildings, a towering windmill and the remains of a factory where sugar cane was processed. The restored Great House was built about 1760 and rebuilt several times. Its oval shape came about in 1793. It is 95 feet long and 35 feet wide with 16-foot ceilings, and sits next to tamarind trees.

It contains three large rooms, an office gallery and a wing that was originally a separate kitchen. It is flanked by numerous outbuildings. The walls are 30 inches thick, made of cut brain coral, limestone and rubble, bonded by a mortar containing molasses. The tall windows and doors that ring the house provide cross-ventilation, and the win-

dows could be shuttered during hurricanes. The ground floor of the Great House consists of a dry moat that rings the cellars and was used to cool the building. No original furniture survives, but it is filled

with period items from the Caribbean. It sits on 12 acres that remain of a once-thriving estate. Whim was occupied by 12 owner families from 1743 to 1932. It is the oldest sugar plantation museum in the Virgin Islands, typical of the agricultural plantations laid out in the 1730s by the Danish West India and Guinea Company. Whim is listed on the prestigious National Register of Historic Places and the U.N.’s Slave Route Sites of Remembrance. It is one of more than 50 sites on St. Croix where plantation remains may be found. The plantation on the southwest corner of the island was surveyed in 1733-35 when it came under Danish rule. St. Croix was one of the richest sugar islands in the West Indies from 1760 to 1820, when production was high and sugar prices were stable. In 1803, St. Croix’s population was 30,000, of whom 26,500 were slaves who planted, harvested and processed cane on 218 island plantations. More than 100 windmills and almost as many animal mills ran day and night in season, converting sugar into wealth. Most plantations were small communities of up to 300 acres, with sugar cane growing on two-

thirds of the land. They were not self-sufficient; food, clothing and equipment had to be imported. At first, Whim grew cotton, according to records from 1743. In 1754, sugar was introduced and that was grown until the 1920s. Sugar cane is an Asian grass that was imported to the Caribbean by the Spanish as early as Columbus’ second trip in 1493. It was a labor-intensive operation and the Danish brought in slaves to work the plantations. The local economy boomed from 1760 to 1820. The golden age of sugar cane declined with the appearance of beet sugar in the United States and Europe. Slavery was abolished on St. Croix in 1848. At first, animals, including horses, oxen and mules, were used to crush juice from sugar cane. A rebuilt horsepowered replica stands on the grounds of the Estate Whim. The plantation also features an imposing stone windmill built between 1768 and 1779. Men lifted and moved a long pole to make the dome turn and move the sails to catch the wind. Slaves fed sugar cane between three rollers, and the juice drained down a sluice to the adjoining factory. Foundations are all that remain of a large T-

shaped, two-story structure that was built about 1797. Nearby is a lone chimney that dates to 1908. The first steam engine was installed at Estate Whim in 1865. That increased production by 15 percent and made it possible to handle 20 to 30 tons of sugar cane in 12 hours. In addition to the factory, there was a boiling house, curing houses for drying sugar and draining off molasses, warehouses and a distillery for turning molasses into rum. Cane juice flowed from the wind mill to the boiling house, where it was reduced to a moist brown sugar called muscovado. That work was directed by a slave known as the boiling master. On a wall stood a receiving vat and battery of smaller cauldrons called coppers over furnaces fueled by bagasse, or dried crushed cane stalks. On the opposite wall were shallow cooling pans. After skimming off impurities and adding lime, workers ladled the juice from copper to copper, stirring and skimming. At the last and hottest copper, the rapidly thickening liquid was careful-

This sugar was packed in 1,600-pound barrels, put on racks and the molasses was drained off. After a few weeks, when the sugar was dry, the barrels were topped off with fresh sugar,

U.S. bought V.I. from Denmark Virgin IslandsA29 In 1932, Whim was purchased by the U.S. government. It had purchased the Virgin Islands in 1917 from Denmark. It became a federal Homestead site and the land was resold to residents who promised to raise sugar cane for the central factory. That effort failed. In 1954, Whim was deeded to the St. Croix Landmarks Society for preservation. It was in bad shape but restoration efforts got under way. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for senior citizens and $4 for children 7 to 12. Hours are 10 a.m.

to 4 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays, extended when cruise ships are in port. For information, contact the St. Croix Landmarks Society at 52 Estate Whim, Frederiksted, Virgin Islands, 00840, 340-772-0598, www.stcroixlandmarks.com. Not far from Whim is the 16-acre St. George Village Botanical Garden, built around the ruins of another old plantation: the Estate St. George. It, too, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Estate St. George at its peak had more than 150 slaves. The slave quarters have been recycled into the Great Hall, a meeting

place. The Water Mill was built around 1830 and destroyed in an 1867 earthquake. Surviving are the blacksmith shop, the village bakery, lime kilns, water flumes and the ruins of the sugar cane factory. Today the grounds are dominated by more than 1,500 species of native and exotic plants. Attractions include a tropical rain forest, orchids, cactus gardens, palms, fruit trees and medicinal plants. Admission is $8 for adults, $6 for senior citizens and $1 for children under 12. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. For information, con-

THE ESTATE WHIM on St. Croix is filled with period items from the Caribbean. The walls are made from cut brain coral, limestone and rubble and bonded with a mortar containing molasses. The Great House is surrounded by a dry moat that cools the building. sted on the north coast is the largest city on St. Croix. It features a historic district on the waterfront with more than 100 brightly painted buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is one of the best-preserved towns in the Caribbean.

St. Croix is the largest and least-developed of the U.S. Virgin Islands. It covers 84 square miles and has about 51,500 residents. The western part of the island is rain forest; the eastern end is rocky and arid. It often is overlooked next to its more famous sister islands, St. Thomas and St. John. They are about 40 miles to the north. St. Croix is celebrated for its laid-back attitude, diving, beaches like Sandy Point on the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s southwest corner and funky beach bars. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard not to like a place where the average high temperature is 82 degrees and the water temperature is 80 degrees.

MOTORING ▼ ROAD TEST

Mazda3 Sport gets Skyactiv technology to save fuel Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

Four doors have always been a design challenge for automakers. Not that sedans are necessarily stodgy or bland, but they somehow lack the panache of their twodoor counterparts. A few mid-size cars come to mind: Honda Accord, Nissan Altima and Infiniti G. All are handsome enough as sedans, but absolute knockouts as coupes. Same goes for several compacts. Honda Civic, Kia Forte and even the fashionably redesigned Hyundai Elantra turn more heads with fewer doors—especially the Civic.

Mazda doesn’t offer a two-door model in its popular Mazda3 lineup—and that’s fine with me. Designers nailed it the first time when they launched this replacement for the tired Protege in the 2004 model year. And after a redesign in 2010 and some finetuning this year, the Mazda3—both in sedan and hatchback forms—is one of the most attractive cars in the compact segment. My tester for the week, in a striking shade of ‘sky blue mica,’ was the Mazda3 Sport GS SKY, which in Mazdaspeak means hatchback with the new fuel-saving Skyactiv technologies. See Mazda B2

CONTRIBUTED

THE MAZDA3 GS SPORT’S swept-back headlamps, lowered fascia and pronounced fender flares complement its deeply-contoured body. The lineup offers a variety of engines, including a 2.0-litre four cylinder incorporating the company’s fuel-saving Skyactiv technologies, as tested.

Mazda from B1 Skyactiv isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about electric and hybrid systems, but involves improving, in nearly every way, the kind of vehicles most of us drive. This includes their body architecture,

powered by 2020, the vast majority will still be making regular visits to the fuel pump. This presents a welcome challenge to engineers, as todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engines, despite being exponentially cleaner and more effi-

cient than a few short decades ago, still only harness 10 to 30 percent of our fuelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available energy. That leaves a lot of room for improvement, and an opportunity to exploit. The company wisely chose to apply this new

like catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes, and follow the contour of the pronounced fender flares. tech to the Mazda3, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their top-seller worldwide and accounts for nearly half of all Mazda sales in Canada and the U.S. Skyactiv is available in GS trim, which falls between the base GX (starting MSRP $16,895) and top trim GT (starting MSRP $24,845), and adds only $850 to the regular 2.0-litre GS models for a starting list of $20,345 with six-speed manual. For starters, the allnew, direct-injection Skyactiv-G 2.0-litre gas engine delivers more power (155 vs 148 hp) and greater torque (148 vs 135 lb/ft) than the standard 2.0-litre engine. Better fuel economy too, thanks in large part to the substantially higher compression ratio of 12:1 versus 10:1. The point of higher compression is to extract more energy from the same amount of fuel, which, thankfully here, is regular 87 octane. But like any good thing, there are limits, and with compression thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around 11:1 before knock sets in. Mazda has overcome this with some finessing of components. An example is putting a small dip in the top of each piston to stabilize combustion. Looks a bit like a volcano, as the tops are also dome-shaped to increase compression.

Skyactiv also uses extremely high fuel pressure through its six-hole injector to more quickly deliver the air/fuel mix, and with better vaporization and cooling. Aside from combustion, engineers examined nearly every component to trim weight and reduce friction. This includes refinements like pistons that are 20 per cent lighter, and valves with 50 per cent less friction. Although thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s far more to Skyactiv, suffice to say these changes result in a thriftier engineâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; in particular with the sixspeed Skyactiv-Drive automatic. This power combination is rated at 7.1/4.9 litres/100 km (city/ hwy) compared to 8.7/6.0 for the regular 2.0-litre engine. My tester included the six-speed manual, which is up a little at 7.7/5.0 litres/100 kmâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; which I suppose is achievable if you have a gentle touch. My own result was a slightly thirstier 8.0 litres/100 km combined. Much of my driving, however, was in town and the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice, light clutch, smooth takeup and shortthrow shifter that nicely â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;snicksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; into place, made it a joy rowing through the gears. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say it got my heart pumping, as the tall

gearing wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t conducive to neck-snapping acceleration, but it was brisk enough for highway merging and for decisively passing any slow pokes along the way. Inside, the Mazda3 is well put together. Abundant soft touch materials, chrome and silver finishes, and fabric inserts in the doors create a smart, modern look. Seats are upholstered in a grippy fabric combination, with checked inserts and pronounced side bolsters. Five-position seat heating comes standard for both front seats. Opt for the Luxury package (GS, GS-SKY $1,300) and you get leather seating (along with 8-way power adjust), as well as faux leather in the doors and console lid. The only option that came with my tester, however, was the power moonroof for $895. Although the GS is only mid-trim, it comes with plenty of standard features like 16-inch alloy wheels, side sill extensions, roof-mounted spoiler, rain-sensing wipers, and on the inside, leather-wrapped tilt/telescopic steering with audio and cruise controls, Bluetooth, AM/FM/CD/MP3 audio system with aux-

Mazda3 has a surprisingly large cargo hold area Mazda from B2

model is the simplicity of its instruments and controls. HVAC, for example, is handled by three rotary dialsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a nice break from touch screens that take your eyes off the road.

iliary input, and the usual power locks, keyless entry and air conditioning youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect at this level. What I like in this

Seats in back are raised for better visibility, both forward and to the side, where the high beltline creates a narrow side window. I was comfortable in rear, but knee room may be tight for taller folksâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; headroom as well. An armrest drops down from the middle position, which like many today, includes cupholders. Despite the Maz-

da3â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s compact footprint, it has a surprisingly large cargo hold behind the rear seats. At 481 litres, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s larger than many mid-size sedans, and the 60/40 seatbacks drop for a 1,212-litre capacity. My take on the Mazda3 remains that the company hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t so much knocked it out of the park in any one area, but that Mazda has done so many little things so well.

THE MAZDA3 GS SPORT provides a pleasing interior with high-quality fabrics, abundant soft-touch materials and silver finishes that complement a well designed array of instruments and controls. Deep binnacles surround the speedo and tach to reduce glare. Skyactiv is the latest of these, and without adding significant cost, it has given buyers yet another reason to consider this popular family car. CONTRIBUTED

In loving memory of our beautiful “Nikita” Who tragically left us July 24, 2012 much before her time.

Forever F F Faithful, ithf l F Forever iin O Our H Hearts... t Oh, when we get to Heaven, we hope that we will find The souls that once we loved who left us all behind. Some left us at the right time, they left this world in peace. Others left too sudden without the chance to say Goodbye, They were even gone before, we had the chance to cry. There’s a special place for grownups, a special place for kids Me? I’ll be on the other side, the side called Rainbow Bridge. Across the dark green meadow, A’top the hills I’ll run Where the colors from the rainbow glitter in the sun. And there I’ll find my sweetheart, running fast toward me Into my arms where she belongs for all eternity.

SHOWCASE W WEST KELOWNA

Decorating tips to create stylish home Municipality The fall and winter season of indoor entertaining is nearly upon us, so now is the time to spruce up the home for your invited guests. Sharon Grech, a colour and design expert at Benjamin Moore, says there are simple steps anyone can take on to achieve a more stylish home. Grech says for a sleek and modern festive colour scheme, choose a grey such as Thunder as the dominant shade. Designers find this popular colour is the perfect foil to most accents. For a current look, pair with Spring Dust or Wythe Blue. Sparkling accessories like silver napkin rings, glass candlesticks and chic white dishware will add to the modern feel. For a more traditional holiday colour palette, use a variation on the red, green and white palette. Grech says maroon is a hot colour in fashion this season and in a dining room can evoke a nostalgic, joyous mood. If you aren’t prepared to paint the walls, try painting a large canvas with a solid coat. Place it slightly above the buffet or mantel to create a colourful statement.

Bring in shades of green with the vivid Agave and layer your table with lots of natural linen and bronze accessories for an update on the classic look. A tall clear vase filled with long branches is simple and rustic. Evergreens, pine and colourful baubles can be gathered and used on tabletops as a seasonal touch. Chalkboard paint adds a fun twist to kitchen décor. Share your holiday glad tidings by scribing happy sentiments and warm wishes on a surface painted with chalkboard paint. Your wall or pantry door becomes a menu for all guests to see and the children’s painted tabletop and a bowl filled with chalk keeps kids busy and adults free to mingle at holiday gatherings. A few quick swipes of this transformative paint create endless design possibilities. For a less permanent option, grab a smooth wood board that can easily be propped on a wall or moved around to suit your kitchen’s design. The trend experts share more ways to prep your home and kitchen for the holidays on Twitter, @BenjaminMooreCA.

W OF PRIME INTEREST

Paying attention to your financial health While about 80 per cent of Canadians visit a doctor at least once a year to maintain their physical health, far fewer people update the health of their mortgage. As is the case with your own health, a lot can change in a year with a mortgage, something most of us have signed up for five year renewals. Many things can affect your mortgage situation—career change, kids leaving home, retirement, inherited money. Managing your financial lifestyle is just as important as managing your diet and exercise. Too many people often sign off on a mortgage renewal without reviewing their financial situation. Consumers tend to become complacent about their mortgage

payments when the possibility to save money on those payments may get overlooked. Homeowners should annually review three things—their current and expected future financial risk profile, net income and current mortgage rates. If you see interest rates going up, lock into a fixed rate if you have a variable mortgage rate. If the rates drop, consider the benefits of refinancing. To make a commitment to be mortgage free in 25 years, take a longer view outlook of what interest rates will look like over that period of time and find a comfort level with the payments you will be facing. Even something such as making home renovations could affect the type of mortgage that works best for you.

For example, topping up or refinancing an existing mortgage can pay for those renovations, providing you’re comfortable with a blended interest rate. If you buy a new home, you may be able to port your current mortgage to the new house. Or, maybe you just want to consolidate higher interest unsecured debt into your mortgage, saving on high interest costs and getting out of debt sooner. A mortgage can also offer tax efficiency benefits if you’re thinking of investing in a business, buying a rental property or putting some money into mutual funds or the stock market. That’s because the interest paid on money borrowed on a principal property can be written off against revenue from those investments.

But the biggest reason for making changes to your mortgage mid-stream is because it could be a lot easier to do something before your financial situation changes. Making changes to your mortgage before you go into a new venture or before you retire will allow you to qualify much easier rather than waiting for your mortgage to come up for renewal.

elowna has been REAL ESTATE recognized as a four season playRUNDOWN ground, a city of lakes, being a diverse cultural community, Canada’s version of Hawaii. But what about our Ceinwen neighbouring sister West Morgan Kelowna? The District of West Kelowna is growing rapidly reflected by a population of 30,892 according to 2011 Census, the second largest municipality in the Central Okanagan. Stats Canada has also recorded West Kelowna having a 13.5 per cent increase in population from 2006 to 2011. What once was a hidden gem in our Okanagan Valley is becoming more widely known, from the community’s exquisite golf courses, local vineyards such as world known Mission Hill Winery and growing family developments like the popular Tallus Ridge community to having all of that with nature just a step outside local residents’ front doors. A big contributor to the continue growth of West Kelowna has been the William R. Bennett Bridge. Opened in May 2008, the bridge offers five lanes of traffic, an increase over the three-lane traffic flow on the former Okanagan Lake floating bridge. To continue to support West Kelowna’s growth, the district council implemented an Economic Development Strategy Plan in August 2010. There were several goals outlined in this extensive city plan, with some of the plan’s main focus placed on increasing job opportunity, improving local businesses and providing a vibrant town centre. Since then, we have seen some outstanding results of the vision for West Kelowna, such as an overpass to help ease any traffic tensions, new shopping centres offering an abundance of new stores, and a popular new movie cineplex. West Kelowna—what once was a hassle to gain access to during our tourist seasons and city rush hour in fear of the congested bridge and backed up traffic has now become the place to be. Perhaps the grass is greener on the other side or perhaps we need to look in all corners of our beautiful Okanagan and realize every town, every community, has something unique to offer.
