W
hen Kelowna’s H2O Fitness and Adventure Centre unveiled Canada’s first ever indoor wave simulator in 2009, Jason Moore and his family were immediately intrigued by the possibilities. Three years later, the Moores are among North America’s most skilled and successful competitors in the burgeoning sport of flowboarding. Jason and three of his children—Madi, 16, and twins Jaxon and Keaton, 13—spent the summer cleaning up on the U.S. Flow Tour, making stops in California, New Jersey, Salt Lake City, Philadelphia and in Orlando for the U.S. nationals. After nearly three months on the road, Jason returned home as the masters champion, Jaxon won the men’s open and junior division, Keaton grabbed the overall mixed youth title, while Madi finished third overall in the women’s open category.

CLOSE-UP from A1 “It was a real family adventure for us,” said Yvette Moore, Jason’s wife and mother of the three kids who toured with them every step of the way. “They made a real name for themselves on tour. Jason and the kids put Canada on the flowboarding map. “Now athletes from down there want to come up here after what they’ve seen.” Described by some as a combination of surfing, snowboarding, skateboarding and skimboarding, flowboarding is considered an alternative or extreme sport where competitors ride on indoor FlowRiders or Waves. Sheet waves, travelling at speeds of 50 to 70 km/h are created to replicate the shape of ocean waves, allowing the rider to surf in place and perform tricks. First built by American company Wave Loch in the early 1990s, there are now more than 200 indoor waves in the U.S. and another three in Canada. The sport is also growing quickly in other parts of the world, such as Australia, South Africa and Singapore. A snowboarder and former North American champion in boardercross in the 1990s and, before that, an avid skateboarder, Jason comes by his success in flowboarding naturally. Moore knows firsthand the satisfaction and fulfillment that excelling in sports can bring and wants his children to experience the same lifestyle he did.
DOUGLAS FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR
KELOWNA’S Moore family (left to right) Madi, Jaxon, Jason and Keaton picked up their share of awards this summer on the American flowboarding tour.
Family catches Flowrider wave “When this sport booms, like I know it will, they can all have a career like I did,” said Moore. “There’s nothing like having a chance to compete at a high level and travel the world at the same time. “I teach them how to compete, my wife teaches them to be humble. It’s a good combination.” Since first stepping into a FlowRider in 2009, all four Moores have steadily and surely honed their skills to world class levels.
The combination of Jason’s coaching and mentoring, some natural talent, and a massive amount of practise time and repetition have all played into the family’s success in the sport. Living in Kelowna has also served as a distinct advantage for the Moores who train almost on a daily basis, all year around at H2O. “Most of the waves in the U.S. are privately owned, people have to pay $30 to $40 an hour, so it can get very expensive,”
Moore said. “For us, we have our gym passes anyway, so we have unlimited use of the wave. “We can use it all year long, anytime. It’s as good as it can possibly be for us.” The countless hours on the wave are clearly paying dividends for Jaxon. He was unbeatable on tour this season, and next year plans to step up to the pro division as a 14year-old. Jaxon has been compared to snowboarding’s
Shaun White and skateboarding’s Ryan Sheckler when it comes to the starstatus he’s expected to attain in his chosen sport in the years to come. So far the expectations have done little to faze the somewhat shy, softspoken Jaxon who, despite the stakes involved, continues to enjoy all the sport has to offer. “I started out doing it for fun,” said Jaxon. “It got more and more serious and now I do it everyday. “Sometimes it seems
like work, but mostly it’s fun. “It’s exciting to think about what might happen in the future.” “Jaxon is a super humble kid,” added Jason. “He’s a guy of very few words. He does his speaking on the wave.” Five-time North American and threetime world flowboarding champ Sean Silveira has seen the Moores at work on the wave and can’t help but be impressed by their skill and enthusiasm. And while their nat-
ural talent and hard work are obvious at first glance, Silveira says it’s the Moore family’s collective personality and zest for life that make them a unique entity in the sport. “They’re one of the closest families I’ve ever met, and they basically open their arms to anyone,” said Silveira. “Jaxon reminds me of myself when I was young, he’s going to do some amazing things in the future, he’ll probably be world champion. “The girls (Madi and Keaton) are so much fun, too, they’re open to anything. “Jason’s such a great guy, so those kids are in good hands. They all really love the sport and with the background they have, I expect them to do well in it for a long time.” While flowboarding has yet to gain the widespread popularity of its close relatives—such as snowboarding and skateboarding—the Moores are confident the sport will continue to gain popularity on a global scale. And with flowboarding soon expected to be added to the X Games lineup, possibly as early as 2014, Yvette Moore says the sky should be the limit. “It’s seen huge growth just in the last year, the venues that are out there now, the competitions, it’s very exciting for us,” said Yvette. “It’s becoming a mainstream sport and our kids are at a prime age. If it gets into the X Games, you know it’s going to take another big step for-

Placing a greater value on water Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Pristine condition, loaded, only 33,767 km
Even though there’s no life without it, we still waste water by letting it run down the gutters and trash it by mud-bogging in watersheds, notes Anna Warwick Sears, executive director of the Okanagan Basin Water Board. “As a community we need to realize the value of fresh, clean, abundant water,” she explains, particularly when you compare what we have to what’s available in many other parts of the world. There’s a lot of controversy about the value of

water, she says. “We take it for granted.” In addition to its intrinsic value, there are the costs associated with its treatment for use as drinking water, the delivery of it to our homes, and the mismanagement of it, she adds. Sears is expected to speak on the value of water at the OBWB annual meeting in Kelowna today, where guest speaker Chris Wood is also expected talk about recognizing the value of water. Wood is the author of Dry Spring: the Coming Water Crisis in North America and Blockbusters and Trade Wars. Sears notes the valuation of ecosystems is closely related to the value of water since watersheds must be protected to protect water quality, and also to conserve water. “The more people value it, the more they’ll care for it,” she adds. But, she acknowledges
‘‘
I BELIEVE WE’RE MAKING HEADWAY, BUT IT’S SLOW. Anna Warwick Sears executive director of Okanagan Basin Water Board
the challenge is to educate people about the value of water. Since it’s priceless, it’s crazy to talk about price, but often the price on the utility bill doesn’t actually pay even for the cost of treating water to ensure it’s safe to drink, or for the infrastructure required to deliver it. That is in the process of being changed, but it’s a slow process, she says. Sears believes we also need to look further into the future, and the infrastructure needed to continue to provide adequate safe water.
“There’ll be more and more people in the watersheds; in our reservoir lakes and recreating around the lakes and streams that contain our drinking water,” she says. The OBWB is working to provide the knowledge resources for civic government bodies to help them manage watersheds and water to maintain water quality and quantity in the future. As well, the board is working on a communication strategy for the public on this ‘precious resource.’ “I believe we’re making headway, but it’s slow,” she says. In a wet year such as this was, with heavy snowpacks, enormous runoff and then a month of rain, it’s difficult to convince the public of the importance of conserving water, yet those are the very conditions that are the cause of water quality issues, she noted.

Alleged shooters reunite in court Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The trio who allegedly engaged in a summer shoot-out and car chase with Okanagan Mounties will be reunited in court later this month. Michael Edward Ellis, 39, Shawn Adam Wysinski, 32, and Ashley Collins, 19, will appear in a Kelowna courtroom Sept. 17 to deal with attempted murder charges, as well as others, that were levied against them in the wake of the August run-in with Mounties. Ellis and Wysynski are currently being held at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre, while Collins was released on bail Aug.24 after healing from injuries incurred during the chase. The one-hour chase that led police from West Kelowna to Vernon, via Westside Road, started when Mounties tried to do a routine pull over of a green Dodge Caravan. The van allegedly sped away and within minutes, shots were fired from both sides. Unconfirmed reports have indicated that the van’s wheels were shot out, but they were able to continue their runaway by car jacking at least two others in their path. Despite the drama, Collins was the only injured party from the danger fraught drive. New Westminster police have also been asked to investigate a bullet that struck Collins in the chase.

▼ SALMON FESTIVAL
Kokanee arrival celebrated
Wade Paterson
STAFF REPORTER
Organizers of the 2012 Kokanee Salmon Festival had reason to worry earlier this week. The very species the festival is named after had yet to appear in Mission Creek. “We were really hoping they’d start showing up because we thought: We won’t have our main performer,” said Nicole Marzinzik, park interpreter with the Regional District of the Central Okanagan. Marzinzik and other organizers breathed a sigh of relief Wednesday when the land-locked salmon returned to Mission Creek. The festival is a celebration of Kokanee salmon’s cultural, environmental and historical importance. It coincides with the annual return of the species from Okanagan Lake to spawn in the region’s rivers and streams for about four to six weeks. “People will travel to the Kamloops area or they’ll travel to the island to see these big massive salmon runs. But we have them right here,” Marzinzik said. “You just have to go to Hardy Falls in Peachland or Mission Creek and you get to see (a) salmon run.” According to Mar-
zinzik, the last two years have been “really good” in terms of Kokanee salmon numbers. She added the fish that began showing up at Hardy Falls a week-anda-half ago look healthy. Along with the opportunity to learn about the salmon run, the festival will provide entertainment and environmental education. Marnie Grey, a children’s performer, will put on two free concerts during the festival. The Nylon Zoo from Vancouver will bring their large inflatable salmon storytelling tent. Central Okanagan Boy Scouts will bring their adventure bridge, which kids lined up to try last year. The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada will bring three telescopes to safely view the sun, learn about constellations and learn how light pollution affects wildlife. One of the attractions Marzinzik is most excited about is Central Okanagan Search and Rescue’s underwater camera. “It’s a neat angle to see the fish—normally you just peer at their backs. “They (project) it onto a movie screen so people can see what’s going on.” Twenty-four other community organizations and local businesses will also have booths at the
SEWING CLASSES FALL SESSIONS
festival. Marzinzik said the event is ideal for families with young children. The festival runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday at Mission Creek Regional Park. The parking lot is expected to fill up quick-
ly, so additional parking is available at a lot near Springfield and Durnin Roads with a donation to the Kelowna SPCA. For more information, visit regionaldistrict.com/ parks. wpaterson@kelownacapnews. com

Parent’s pole dancing belongs behind bedroom door
W
hen I was a teenager my bestie chased a pipe-dream, enrolled in dance lessons so she could be a pro by the time she hit 20 and, in turn, prompted an unusual warning from her father. He said he better not be paying for the first step toward a life on the pole, or it was curtains for a career in modern dance. My friends and I all laughed—uncomfortably—about the comment and brushed it off. As young women of the ’90s, we were drowning in layers of baggy plaid, and our mothers had fed us a healthy dose of feminist platitudes from the moment we popped from the womb.
“Pft. Pole dancing. As if. (Insert cliche teenage interpretations of feminism here),” we said. ‘Twas a blissfully awkward, make-up Kathy free time in history that Michaels came to an abrupt end far too soon. In no time flat, grunge and plaid passed into the shadows and Spice Girls and their ilk got the spotlight, shrieking to toddlers about getting their way while wearing hot pants. And while I found myself at odds with the messaging, others didn’t. Children would then walk into the store I worked at, on their mothers’ arms, wearing little heels, their hair bleached and fit with tiny, strangely inappropri-

ate outfits. Overt sexuality, it seemed, had been embraced by the elementary school set for the first, not last, time. Each year that’s followed has brought a new addition to the ways tots can be sexualized that gets feminists writing essays, me waxing on about my plaid years and stores stocking their shelves with questionably formed fashion. Usually these cues emanate from some far off land, but this year’s entry into the questionable cues for wee ones has come from home territory. In Duncan B.C. a dance and fitness studio is planning to train girls in aerobic pole-dancing basics before they hit puberty. The one-day class called “Little Spinners,” is simply catering to the studio’s adult clients, says owner and in-
structor Kristy Craig. According to an interview in the National Post, Craig’s clients were saying: “My daughter plays on my pole at home all the time, I’d love her to actually learn how to do things properly and not hurt herself.” Of course the idea of a bunch of five-year-old little-sinners-in-training has people up in arms. Many who commented on the story said it was child abuse, most said it was in poor taste, but the odd one came out and defended the exercise form. Being as I’ve done it—for the sake of a story—I can attest to the physical demands. If you’re out of shape, it’s a painful endeavour. Then again, so too would be standing in stilettos on a street corner for hours on end, but that doesn’t

tions as snow melts and tributaries would carry it into the very rivers that salmon and wildlife depend on. Next problem you avoid is the type of prod-
uct this pipeline would carry. It is diluted with a chemical cocktail to make it flow through pipes and once exposed to the air after a spill that diluent evaporates creating poisonous fumes that, in the cause of the Kalamazoo river spill, forced whole evacuations. Further to the problem of those toxic fumes from
evaporating diluents is the bitumen left behind, which has a specific API gravity of less than 10, meaning it no longer floats on water and can’t be skimmed off the surface of water, or vacuumed, or boomed for containment after a spill. The only way it can be cleaned out of a body of water is dredging which, everyone knows, is vir-
tually impossible given the remoteness of terrain in those mountains and the depth of the ocean in Douglas Channel. Given just these factors, the damage this pipeline will cause when the inevitable leaks begin is absolutely staggering and completely unacceptable.
A proposal for renovation of small dog park tsection of the Mission Dog Park The small dog section in the off-leash park is an ideal candidate for renovations that would include: 1) Raising the park with soil fill above the water table 2) Covering with turf similar to that used in the sports fields 3) Installing a water fountain for dogs 4) Installing sprinklers 5) Fencing the small park with black chain-link (as used on the sports fields) 6) Installing three or four park benches with cement footings (to avoid grass growing under the benches) 7) Installing a path around the perimeter for wheel
chairs and walkers. With the exception of Duggan off-leash park for small dogs, none of the off-leash dog parks were prepared with turf. What was there when the land was assigned for the offleash parks is still there largely unchanged. The proposed small dog park would be an experiment to see how well irrigated turf can withstand dog trampling and dog urine. Unlike users of the large dog section, small dog park users are more inclined to sit and socialize with other people, allowing their dogs to do the same with each other. However, a path around the perimeter would invite some of the visitors to walk about. As it stands, the park is not well groomed, and the surface is irregular, so that people and even dogs can stumble. People with small dogs are often elderly or have physical challenges. They need a level park surface and path to stay safe from falls. Yes, it will cost money. But please consider that the cost of this park will be only a small faction of what it must have cost to prepare the sports fields in a similar fashion. Mission Recreation Park covers 33.2 hectares, according to the city’s website. Only 1/45th of it is the off-leash dog park at .72 hectares. The small
dog section in turn is only a fraction of the .72 hectares. Is it really so outrageous to ask that a small dog park, of less than .72 hectares be redesigned to be inviting and safe to people with dogs? The number of dogs in Kelowna is estimated to be at least 40,000. With each dog having at least two people in his human family, that’s easily 80,000 people who can say they have a dog in the family. These people support a large number of dog-related businesses, year-round, and they also pay property taxes. The city has demonstrated its goodwill toward dog owners on the lake promenades. On my weekly walk there to fill doggie bag dispensers, I have had my shih tzu photographed many times by visitors as he takes a lap from the doggie fountain by Stuart Park. Visitors are impressed that someone is filling the dispensers and that even a fountain is provided to dogs. On June 31, as I filled dispensers at the canals, three visitors from Australia stopped to thank me how clean the park is. The off-leash urban dog parks could be just as impressive. And the small dog section at Mission Dog Park would be a good beginning. Helen Schiele, Kelowna
Toddler pole dancing too mind boggling to contemplate Michaels from A8
mean it should be encouraged. ºObviously the simple act of spinning around ta pole shouldn’t lure someone into a decision

The Arctic The Arctic, barren, bleak and cold, before the eve of Man, With creatures cast in nature’s mold, the same since time began. The polar bear and wary fox, the walrus and the seal below, The nesting birds among the rocks, the northern lights aglow. The native folk in hide and fur, with homes of snow and ice, Receive each season and endure, prepared to pay the price. They live with hardship we could not, they fear not man or beast, They’ve known no other way except, the famine or the feast.

Your Bulk Food Specialists We came to search beneath their land, for oil far below, The tundra pierced by drillers rig, where moss and lichen grow. Now if we in our quest care not, the way that some have done, We may pollute and desecrate, this land of the midnight sun. Because if pipes and tankers leak, what’s garnered by the drill, And foul the beaches, birds and seas, with viscous oil spill. We soon could see the dread result, of someone’s careless act, Now this is not a scare alarm, but just the plain hard facts. So let us take the care we should, while still we have the time, Protect our frail ecology, from devastating grime. Let’s take not too destructively, the black and flowing gold, Or we will reap the Arctic, dead, and barren, bleak and cold. Ken Thompson, Kelowna

Mission dog park proposal Ode to the Arctic
To the editor: On July 10 this year, I emailed a modest proposal for the renovation of the small dog park section in Mission Dog Park to the parks and public places manager. (At that time I was still the chairwoman of the Kelowna Dog Association). I requested a response. None came. Clearly, my effort to engage the parks departlment was a waste of time. I would like to share the proposal with your news—paper, so that perhaps it will be read by someone, if not the intended party.

a national campaign with a goal to create a groundswell of support for federal abortion legislation, has written to the mayor asking him to not rescind the proclamation and labelling the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada an â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremistâ&#x20AC;? group. It also calls pro-choice groups bullies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Extremist groups such as the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada ought to be ashamed of themselves for their attempts to bully others into adopting their ideology,â&#x20AC;? says the letter, which is signed by representatives of 20 pro-life groups across Canada, including former Kelowna right To Life spokesman Ted Gerk. Gray said earlier this week that despite the call from the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada, he had no intention of rescinding the proclamation. He said to do so would be discrimination against Kelowna Right to Life. The abortion rights coalitionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call came after the city dropped its policy of flying community groupsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; flags over city hall to coincide with local events. That move was made amid controversy over the fact the city as considering flying a Kelowna Right To Life Society flag in conjunction with Protect Human Life Week at the end of September. Ruth Mellor, the chairwoman of Kelowna ProChoice, said the push to have the latest pro-life proclamation rescinded stemmed from the recent flag flap. According to the city, the proclamation is the fifth in a row for the local pro-life group by a Kelowna mayor since 2008. Both Gray and his predecessor Sharon Shepherd, who also issued prolife proclamations, both have said city proclamations do not indicate support for the event or group in question but are merely an announcement to the community. Mellor said the local pro-choice society has not asked, and has no plans to ask, for a proclamation for a pro-choice event, day or week. But she said opposition to previous pro-life proclamations was expressed privately to Shepherd when she was mayor. Given Grayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trouble with a B.C. Human Rights
Tribunal over proclamations in the late 1990â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the city feels that it has to issue proclamations for any group that asks for one as long as it is not espousing racism, discrimination, violence, hatred or supports a political organization. In its letter to Gray, signed by representatives of, and individuals associated with, pro-choice groups across Canada, APCC executive director Joyce Arthur accused the city of disregarding womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rights and making women feel disrespected and intimidated by issuing the proclamation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Protect Human Life Weekâ&#x20AC;? is deeply offensive and upsetting to many people in Kelowna and across Canada, particularly women who have had or who are considering an abortion,â&#x20AC;? she wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Although the city has issued this same proclamation in years past, it was never appropriate to do so because of its disregard for and opposition to established human rights under the law, and because it leads the city to improperly intrude into matters of federal or provincial law.â&#x20AC;? But in its letter to Gray, Weneedalaw.ca says there are many in the city who do not feel offended by the mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact that Joyce Arthur, executive director of Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada and numerous other groups felt compelled to blast this proclamation speaks volumes to the extremist position taken by some when it comes to the sensitive topic of life,â&#x20AC;? says the prolife group in its letter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be assured that Protect Human Life Week is entirely appropriate and we express our unequivocal support for your right as mayor to issue the proclamation declaring the above mentioned dates.â&#x20AC;? And the pro-life letter chastises the abortion rights coalition for even asking for the proclamation to be rescinded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All Canadians, including the residents of Kelowna, should be free to make up their own minds on when life should be protected. The efforts taken by the supposedly pro-choice (group) to preempt freedom of thought need to be downplayed as they are nothing short of school-yard tactics.â&#x20AC;? awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Derby ladies sign up for march
The Central Okanagan Elizabeth Fry Society will be joined by the Okanagan Roller Derby Association as co-hosts for the Kelowna Take Back The Night march on Thursday, Sept. 20. “If you’ve ever been for a roller derby bout you see that roller derby wom-
en are fearless on the track. It’s that spirit of courage, strength, and teamwork that we want our community to experience at Take Back the Night, so to me, the partnership is a natural,” said Aimee Thompson, agency coordinator for the Central Okanagan Elizabeth Fry Society.
For 40 years, the Elizabeth Fry Society has been supporting survivors of violence and advocating for every women’s right to live free from violence. The annual Take Back the Night march raises awareness about sexual violence and provides an opportunity for everyone
in the community to provide support and strength to survivors of violence. The event takes place in cities worldwide as a protest against the fear of sexualized violence that women encounter in their lives. “We are students, professionals, moms,
and friends who encourage women of all backgrounds and skill levels in a supportive environment to become the strong, athletic, fearless roller derby players you see on the track,” said Christina Ferreira (aka Moxie Crue), the OKRD league president.
“We are thankful for the sisterhood we have found in roller derby, and are proud to support the Elizabeth Fry Society to extend our objective of women’s empowerment to our community.” For more information or to volunteer, call Allie Grey at 250-763-4613.

Characteristics that should define a post-secondary student
I
f you regularly watch the news or read the newspaper, you have come across all sorts of tips in these past two weeks about helping your son or daughter enter university or college. These tips range from issues regarding diet, exercise, and time management to how to help them cope with being away from home for the first time. Yet although these tips are good, they are not why students succeed.
SCHOOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S IN
It wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop at their first post-graduation job. The seventh characteristic is important. Successful students have the emotional intelligence to
move into the adult world. They can effectively manage their emotions and realize this is important to be successful. They wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let a failed relationship,
or a poor grade become an overwhelming focus where nothing else matters. (Can you say drama queen?). The drama of high school is behind
them and they understand they cannot afford the energy or the time required for emotional trauma. And, finally, the last successful characteristic
is that these students believe in themselves. Helping our children develop those traits, habits and outlooks is the best thing we can do in the
quest to ensure they succeed in post-secondary. That, and reminding them that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. jmuskens@okanagan.bc.ca

Jane Muskens
Most studies will show you that the successful students are those who take ownership of the learning process. Skip Downing, an English professor at Baltimore Community College and author of On Course: Strategies for Creating Success in College and Life, came up with eight characteristics which describe a successful student. You will note that none of these have to do with diet, exercise or sleep. The first is that these students accept personal responsibility. In other words they know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to them to succeed at college or university. Nobody is going to do the work for them. Number two is they have self-motivation. They know why they are there and their primary goal is to succeed today and graduate tomorrow. Three, they are able to self-manage. This means they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t party with their friends all night before a big exam. Four, these students realize they need support and build relationships that will help them succeed. Five, these students have enough self-awareness to know what they need to do to succeed and have the right behaviours, beliefs, and attitudes to be successful. Number six is they believe in lifelong learning and realize this first foray into post-secondary education is short and just the beginning. Someone who is 20 years of age and gets this one usually understands that learning happens in and outside of the classroom.

During the day, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d watched the weather as a succession of puffy white, gray and black clouds trooped across the sky, sometimes accompanied by gusty winds that nearly blew us off the little lakes. In between there were periods of hot summer sun that forced us to rip off our sweaters and jackets and roll up our pants lest we roast to death. I guess it was typical late summer weather, except that the mornings were sure coldâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;reminiscent of hunting weather rather than fishing weather.

There was a constant stream of anglers coming and going where we stayed, but all of the recreation sites were wellmaintained and cleanâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and we caught a few fishâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;bonus! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hearing that anglers trucking down to Osoyoos Lake to wet a line are limiting out pretty quickly on their two salmon a day, so there are likely lots of Okanagan freezers with a nice lit-
tle fish hiding out, waiting for a special dinner. Well over a half million salmon returned this fall to the Okanagan system from the Pacific Ocean, up the Columbia River systemâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;a record numberâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so an unusual opening for salmon in Osoyoos was approved near the end of July, but it closes finally on Monday, Sept. 10. There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough spawning habitat to accommodate that number of fish, so a commercial fishery for local first nations was also opened. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a victory for restoration efforts conducted over the last few years by the Okanagan Nation Alliance fisheries, as well as governments on both sides of the border, and power corporations. Locally, the landlocked salmon, kokanee, are now gathering to enter streams in the Okanagan for their end-of-life jour-

NEWS ▼ VARIETY CLUB
West Kelowna special needs youth gives back to children’s charity For any family, immigrating to a new country comes with a multitude of challenges as well as opportunities. For Ana-Maria, learning to speak English was the least of her worries. Her son Mihai has cerebral palsy, and she had no idea where to look for
the support services she needed. Ana-Maria and her husband Florin were medical students in Romania and came to Canada in search of a better life. Almost immediately after arriving, however, Florin had to return to his native land for three
months to finish his medical degree. “It was a very difficult time,” remembers AnaMaria. “When you live in a normal family, you don’t know how hard it is to have a special child. It’s a completely changed life.” Family services directed Ana-Maria to the
Centre For Child Development in Surrey where Mihai began swimming therapy. An early talker, chatty Mihai became a virtual ambassador for the centre. Thanks to his fundraising efforts he was awarded the Community Leader Award by the Surrey
Leader, the top honour, when he was only six. The family now lives in West Kelowna, where Florin runs a successful medical practice and Mihai attends George Pringle elementary school in Westbank. He is able to participate to the best of his abil-

ities in all school and family activities, and this is due, in part, to the support he received from Variety. The children’s charity purchased him a special bike for $3,000. And this year, Mihai is thrilled to be able to give back as one of 13 children fundraising across the province for the Kids Coin Drive. From now until Oct. 31, IGA stores, Marketplace IGA locations and Bank of Montreal branches across the province will display the iconic coin boxes featuring Heartley, a great big smiling heart, and ask customers to support Variety by donating loose change. This year marks the 10th Coin Drive, one of Variety’s most successful fundraisers, that has brought in over $1.5 million since its inception. Proceeds from the Coin Drive will go towards helping children who have special needs and their families with grants for things like emergency transportation costs to out-of-community hospitals, expensive medications, mobility and communication devices, and therapeutic programs to give them the same chances in life as other children.
Mihai
Mihai has been featured on the Variety Show of Hearts Telethon in the past, but Ana-Maria says he is excited to be fundraising with the Coin Drive for the first time: “Although he faces challenges every day, Mihai understands that there are so many kids in the same situation and it’s in his power to help.” While a few loonies and toonies may not seem like much to some people, it makes a world of difference to the children helped by Variety. “Money is just a tool,” says Ana-Maria,” but it makes such a difference in the family’s life. It’s important for people to understand that when you meet a child like Mihai, listen to their story. Be aware and hear their story.”

ENTERTAINMENT Woodward dredges up thoughts
Entertainment

PROSPERA PLACE
STAFF REPORTER
Kids pointing guns at other kids. War. Prague. Good reviews. Bad reviews and a voice that sounds a little like The Boss. If Cory Woodward’s first album is anything, it’s something to talk about; and in an industry flooded with new artists, where generating talk really isn’t all that cheap, this is an accomplishment. “The big lesson is to be vulnerable in this world,” said Woodward, who is heading to the Minstrel Café for Sept. 17. Woodward grew up internalizing most of his thoughts and feelings and, through his music, has learned to reveal a smidgeon of internal dialogue. This album, The Truth, might be considered the first public purge. “It’s like a last breath of holding on to so much emotion and suppression,” he said. Those thoughts include a frightening look at global conflict, apparently scribed on a trip through Prague, and an unusual track about time slipping away one might imagine would come more easily to someone in their 40s than a baby-faced album

CORY WOODWARD plays the Minstrel Café on Sept. 17. virgin. Nevertheless, graveltongued and often slightly scruffy, there’s no denying there’s a hint of the kind of old-school Springsteen in Woodward that one imagines might lead to big anthems in another era. Woodward grew up in Edmonton and had a father who wrote country songs; yet he always felt isolated from the music scene until moving to Vancouver, seven years ago this January. Connecting with similarly-styled Vancouver singer/songwriter Ryan McMann at the city’s media club, he immediately found a niche in angst-ridden folk.
The Truth includes contributions from electronic artist Adaline, West Coast by label though a new Toronto convert; perky Kelowna-raisedVancouver-based singer/ songwriter Nat Jay, Debra Jean of Debra Jean and the Means and Carly Rae Jepsen. Jepsen’s song Call Me Maybe, also originally a folk song, was just named Billboard’s song of the summer—so he’s certainly in good company. The Truth is thus an energetic reflection of the West Coast music scene of the moment and should be a treat to listen to when Woodward rolls through town at the beginning of
his cross-country tour. “The first time I (went across Canada) I did it alone and I said to myself I’ll never do it alone again,” he said. This time, fortunately, he has strategies. Being an introvert, he’s found he can fall into his own head a little too much after hours in isolation and has trouble rallying for the shows. So, car packed with books on tape, Woodward will be listening to words of wisdom all the way to Kelowna. Cory Woodward plays the Minstrel Café on Monday, Sept. 17.

SOUNDING OFF
Bruce Mitchell bandmate Warren Ellis seem to be aiming for the same sort of hillbilly folk music authenticity of the multi-platinum selling O Brother Where Art Thou! soundtrack. But instead of traditional fare, Cave matches venerable country roots Americana stars such as EmmyLou Harris, Willie Nelson and bluegrass pioneer Ralph Stanley with modern rock songs by the likes of The Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart and Townes Van Zant. Your head will be spinning with the eclectic take of Ralph Stanley’s hillbilly take of White Light/White Heat while ex-Screaming Trees singer Mark Lanegan offers a cool gospel revivalist version of Captain Beefheart’s classic Sure ‘Nuff ‘N Yes I Do (from the
Capt.’s five star debut album from the late ’60s titled Safe As Milk that is something of a forgotten classic). EmmyLou Harris offers a moody and atmospheric ballad with a cover of lesser known songwriter Jason Lytle’s (ex Grandaddy) So You’ll Aim Toward The Sky that is worth the price of admission alone. Meanwhile, Cave and his studio band named The Bootleggers offer their original Burnin’ Hell and I am willing to bet there is a scene in the film of gospel revivalist dancers getting jiggy with some poisonous snakes, as I have yet to see the film. Lawless doesn’t quite make it as a wholly stand alone album like the mega selling O Brother Where Art Thou! (for example, there are three versions each of Fire And Brimstone—a Link Wray song, I think—and Fire In The Blood) but Lawless music is a worthwhile acquisition for big fans of the movie.

RAMIN KARIMLOO: HUMAN HEART (SONY MASTERWORKS) People who follow U.K. musical theatre are almost certainly familiar with Canadian performer Ramin Karimloo. For a decade he has been a prominent fixture in London in lavish productions such as Les Miserables, The Phantom Of The Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar, Miss Saigon, The Pirates Of Penzance etc., where he has become a big star and has garnered Best Actor hardware and numerous Olivier nominations (the equivalent of Broadway’s Tony Awards). The Iranian Canadian Karimloo was raised in Ontario where he formed a Tragically Hip tribute band as a teen but he found his way to London, believe it or not, as a singer/dancer on cruise ships. After winning early auditions Karimloo’s star has really taken off in Old Blighty where literally tens of thousands have enjoyed his theatrical stage performances. Human Heart represents his first solo album of pop, rock and show tunes and you can really hear the musical theater in Karimloo’s voice. He can belt songs out to the back row on And-
rew Lloyd Webber’s well known songs Music Of The Night and Til I Hear You Sing, while he can also nuance a ballad as on the original Coming Home that Karimloo cowrote with Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic fame. Most of these songs have orchestral constructions but Karimloo offers a straight up take of Bryan Adams’ smash Everything I Do (I Do It For You) while the CCM ballad Constant Angel is more of a toned down, inspirational love song. Karimloo also shows his eclectic side with covers of lesser known songs by fine songwriters such as Matthew Bellamy and Duncan Sheik but it is something of a surprise that there are no covers of Tragically Hip songs given Karimloo’s early inspiration. Fans may want to note that the ever wandering spirit Karimloo is already planning a country duets album but until then this adult contemporary album will fill the bill. B-
JULIO EGLESIAS: 1 (SONY) A Julio Egesias collection of No.1 hits that is simply titled ‘1’ doesn’t seem to carry the same cachet as those sorts released by The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Elvis and others. Even country band Alabama has released a double CD set comprised of only songs that topped the country charts and even it, by comparison,
seems more likely than a two-CD 38-track compilation of Eglesias hits (especially now that his son Enrique is better known to younger listeners). But Eglesias has indeed had all these No.1 hits even if some of them were in countries like Luxembourg or Switzerland as he has sung in many languages such as Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, French etc. In North America, Eglesias has had his best chart successes with duets with Willie Nelson (To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before), Stevie Wonder (My Love), Dave Koz (Crazy), Frank Sinatra (Summer Wind), Sting (Fragile), Art Garfunkle (Let It Be Me) etc. And all these duets can be found on disc one of this collection while disc two has Eglesias’ solo Latin and continental hits that makes for a very comprehensive collection. There is one minor problem however. Many of these songs feature brand new vocals as Eglesias feels he is a better singer now and there’s some upgraded instrumentation what with studio technology being vastly improved from his early sides. The new takes mostly just update already existing recordings but some fans may not prefer these slightly different do-overs as much as the originals. Committed fans only. Bmooseman19@telus.net

NEWS ▼ XERISCAPE
Xeriscape plant characteristics P lants living in dry conditions have adapted in a variety of ways. Knowing some of these can help when looking for xeriscape plants. Adaptations include root systems and foliage colour, size, or texture. Some plants have more than one adaptive feature. Many of our native spring blooming wildflowers grow and bloom utilizing moisture in the soil from snow melt and spring rains. Then they set seed, and go dormant, avoiding the summer’s dry heat. An example is the yellow Okanagan sunflower that gloriously colours our hillsides in May. Spring bulbs are another example. They must be left for the foliage to die back naturally. As long as it’s green, the plant is storing energy in its bulb for next year’s flowers. Grasses (such as fescues) that originate in dry
GARDENING WITH NATURE
Gwen Steele regions, have very deep root systems, tapping into moisture deep in the soil. Some grasses, such as the native blue bunch wheat grass covering our hillsides, go dormant in the heat of the summer and then green up again with fall rains and cooler temperatures. German irises have a thick rhizome that stores moisture. They withstand extremely dry conditions and bloom well in late spring in full sun. The top of the rhizome should not be covered as it may rot. Oriental poppies and hollyhocks have taproots (a long, thick root) to draw moisture from deep in the soil and to store wa-
ter. The taproot makes them hard to transplant. Silver foliage deflects the sun as seen with our native shrubs, big sagebrush and rabbitbrush. Most of the Artemesia genus, such as A. ‘Silver Mound’ and A. ‘Silver Brocade,’ plus the annual, dusty miller, are grown for their silver foliage, have insignificant flowers and thrive in dry conditions. Silver foliage can light up a garden and enhance flower colour in adjacent plants. Lavender has silver foliage plus the additional adaptation of needle-like leaves which reduce evaporation. Pine, spruce and fir trees have needles with a waxy surface to conserve moisture. Lambs ears have thick, grey, fuzzy leaves. The fuzzy surface helps deflect heat. They grow well in sun or part shade and children love them.
Yuccas have thick leathery leaves to retain moisture. They also have thick taproots. They look their best with no water in full sun. Our native Oregon grape has leathery leaves that undulate to deflect sunlight. Their edible berries are ready now to be picked and combined with crab apples to make a delicious jelly. Sedums have fleshy leaves to hold moisture as do hens and chicks. The later are great for a children’s garden as they are tough, multiply readily and can be easily transplanted. To learn more about xeriscape plants, I invite you to come to my two night class Sept. 24 and Oct. 1. Details and registration information are on the OXA website.

SPORTS Rockets host Royals Sept. 8 The Kelowna Rockets play their second straight Western Hockey League preseason double-header this weekend, traveling to Maple Ridge to play Victoria tonight before hosting the Royals Saturday night at Prospera Place. The Rockets earned a win in Vancouver before losing in a shootout to the Giants last Saturday in Kelowna to kick off the WHL preseason last weekend and spent the week beginning to work on strategy and tactics with the team. “This week we’ve been going over systems a little bit,” said assistant coach Dan Lambert. “Last week we really didn’t have any chance to go over anything. It was just basically getting to know some of the guys and scrimmaging. This week is introduction to D zone and forecheck and neutral zone. It’s slowly getting them on the page that we want them to be on.” The Rockets enter the weekend with a few roster decisions still to be made. The team is carrying 16 forwards, nine defenceman and two goalies as it heads into the
games against Victoria. Young players will once again have the chance to impress Rockets management and staff this weekend as the team continues to build towards the start of the WHL regular season on Sept. 21. “Our focus right now isn’t necessarily to win these preseason games,” said Lambert. “It’s to get them ready and to get them working through the process of getting better every day and being real good by the end of the season.” With 17 players returning from last year’s Rockets team, defenceman Myles Bell says it’s already become a tight group. “We have a really tight group,” he said. “We’ve been doing stuff as a team everyday and everyone is getting along. It’s awesome to see and I think it’s going to carry over onto the ice.” The Rockets have two more home exhibitions: This Saturday as well as Sept. 15 against Tri-City before opening the WHL season on Sept. 21 and 22 with a home and home with the Kamloops Blazers.

Rockets’ Severson signs with New Jersey Devils Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
Damon Severson is one step closer to his NHL dream. The Kelowna Rockets’ defenceman this week signed an entry-level contract with the New Jersey Devils. Terms of the deal weren’t disclosed. Severson, 18, was
the Devils’ second round choice, 60th overall in the 2012 NHL entry draft. “It’s definitely exciting,” said Severson, a native of Melville, Sask. “It’s only one step, but it’s one of the steps you look forward to getting done. Now I can move forward and concentrate on the WHL season with the Kelowna Rockets.”
The Devils had a good, long look at Severson July 15 to 21 at the NHL club’s summer development camp and clearly liked what they saw. “I thought I had a decent camp,” Severson said. “I tried to impress them the best I could, so I guess it went pretty well.” Last season, his second in the WHL, Sever-
son emerged as one of the Rockets’ most dependable rearguards. In 56 games in 2011-12, he had seven goals, 30 assists and 80 penalty minutes. With the distractions of his draft year and contract negotiations now behind him, Severson is ready to step his game up to a new level in 2012-13. “With the draft, all the

scouts and everything else that goes on, that can be a bit distracting. Now that’s over and done with, hopefully I can work at getting better, improving every day and helping the Rockets win.” Severson, who was a ninth-round bantam draft pick of the Rockets in 2009, has 54 points in 126 career WHL games.

Sun opens home stand vs Rebels The Okanagan Sun hopes home sweet home will be the elixir that helps turn the 2012 season around for the B.C. Football Conference club. Trying to rebound from the slowest start in team history, the Sun will play its next three games at the Apple Bowl, beginning Saturday night against the Westshore Rebels. Kick off is 7 p.m. With a 1-3 record and in a tie with Kamloops for the fourth and final playoff spot, the Sun is in dire need of a victory. And with arguably the toughest part of their schedule out of the way— three road games in as many weeks—the Sun will need to take advantage of the warm and hospitable surroundings of the Apple Bowl to stay in the hunt.
“You have take this one game at a time,” said Sun head coach Gavin Lake. “If we lose to Victoria...if we can’t dance with the big dogs in Nanaimo and Langley and don’t do what we are supposed to do against Victoria, then we have to reevaluate what we believe we have on this team. But it’s there, it’s execution and confidence. “This game can set the tone to not necessarily run the table, but get serious about the playoffs.” The Rebels (3-1) are comfortably in third place in the BCFC, but have had the luxury of an easier schedule than the Sun. Two of Westshore’s wins have come over last-place Chilliwack and the other over 1-3 Kamloops. Still, in no way will Lake and the Sun take the Rebels lightly.
“You can look at that from both sides of the coin,” Lake said. “The Rebels coaches may not be exactly sure of how good their team is because of their schedule but you can also look at their athleticism and see the talent is good there. “We only had two offensive first downs in the second half against Langley,” Lake added, referring to his club’s 34-3 loss to the Rams on Aug 25. “They (Rebels) have had a lot of first downs. Momentum is such an important thing in this sport. I’d take momentum anytime. I think they are in a real good position and it’s up to us to answer that.” For one thing, Westshore boasts the conference’s leading rusher. Greg Morris has racked up 573 yards on the ground and has scored

Huskies U-18 boys near-perfect in tourney
CONTRIBUTED
THE KELOWNA HUSKIES boys soccer team won the gold medal at a high level soccer tournament in the Lower Mainland last weekend. Huskies came up against the West Coast Football Club, the home side at the tournament. The Huskies were full of confidence going into the final and the first half of the game was very tight with both teams looking for a way to break the deadlock. With just minutes remaining before half time Dylan Wagner powered his way into the 18 yard box before pulling
the ball back to Stevenson who opened the scoring and put the Huskies ahead 1-0. In the second half the Huskies started to open up and create a number of scoring opportunities but some very strong defending from the home team continued to kept them in the game. With 10 minutes remaining in the match Denton scored to make it 2-0. The Husk-

On defence, Penticton native Adam Plant joins the Warriors from the Okanagan Hockey Academy and is already committed to Harvard University. Jetlan Houcher and Ambrose Firkus were top players in Saskatchewan while Matt Anholt joins the Warriors from Lloydminster and Lake Country’s Brent Lashuk arrives from the Kelowna Chiefs of the KIJHL. Strengths: With a dozen returning players and four newcomers with junior A experience, the Warriors will ice a veteran squad this year, including in net where newcomer Tyler Briggs was acquired in a trade deadline deal with Lloydminster of the AJHL. Briggs led Canada West to a World Junior A Challenge gold medal and had four shutouts with the Bobcats. With support from Garrett Rockafellow, the Warriors will have a solid tandem in net, something they lacked in Ferster’s first year with the Warriors. Coach’s quote: Rylan Ferster—“We really like our group. Our returning guys are solid character guys. We addressed
our biggest need in goaltending with Tyler Briggs and Garret Rockafellow.
We like our depth down the middle and I really like our recruiting class.”

The Kelowna Huskies boys Under-18 soccer team were nearly perfect in winning the West Coast Cup soccer tournament. The Huskies, comprised of players from the Mission area of Kelowna, scored 10 times and didn’t allow a goal en route to the tournament title. Team captain Andy Stevenson was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player while David Denton was the top scorer with four goals through the event. Matt Fielding and Mackenzie Rigg also had strong tournaments, according to coach Tony Overton. “We have a very strong squad of players and they have been training very hard for this competition,” said Overton. “The standard of Metro teams in Vancouver is very high so all the boys should be very proud of their gold medal performance.” After winning its first three games to advance to the gold medal game, the

PGA issues its first Top 20 ranking of B.C. golf courses Four local courses have been named inside the top 20 courses in B.C. C. by the PGA of British sh Columbia in its first ever er rankings for golf courses ess across the province. PGA of BC memmbers were polled both onnline and via telephone to make their choices for the top three facilities in the province, the top course in their region and a hidden gem anywhere in the province. In the end Predator Ridge was the highest ranking course coming in at number seven while Tower Ranch was ranked 14th, Gallagher’s Canyon 17th and the Kelow-
na Golf and Country Club came in at number 19. Over the six week polling period, more than one-third of the association’s 650-plus members responded. PGA of BC executive
director Donald Miyazaki: “With PGA members being both competitive players on, and instructors at, all of the top courses across B.C., it was a natural fit to poll our membership to find their selections. Overall almost 100 courses received multiple votes and that just goes to show the depth of the quality of the province’s courses. Congratulations must go to the deserving facilities who made the three lists. We are sure that these selections will elicit a fair amount of dialogue.” The ranking is a partnership between the PGA of BC and Inside Golf

Magazine. Inside Golf managed the survey and contacted all facilities across the province and then tabulated the results. Inside Golf publisher Jeff Sutherland: “It became clear as we received responses that two clear favourites were emerging and that Shaughnessy and Capilano would battle right down to the final few votes. Eventually Shaughnessy would take top honours by the smallest of margins. On the public-acess side, Big Sky has always had a solid reputation and now they have the top ranking to go along with it. Tobiano was a close second.”

Musicians play an upbeat tune for one of their own B
y the time today’s Capital News hits your lap or doorstep, the lights will have been long turned off, the crowd gone home, and the many volunteers a little rested though probably still trying to recover lost sleep. Floydfest will be a musical memory that many will recall for years to come. I hope you were part of the packed house of music supporters who took part in Thursday night’s fundraiser at the Kelowna Community Theatre. Like many other volunteers, I expect to have likely watched most of the concert from backstage, where the sound sucks but the camaraderie is in full display. That is what happens when you are blessed enough to be a small part of the marvellous circle of musical friends in this fabulous Okanagan Valley. Like other fraternities, musicians tend to generally spend much of their lives struggling to make a living, chasing personal dreams, and focusing on their own careers and lives. However, when a true crisis strikes, or the call is put out to assist another— there is no brother and sisterhood I am aware of that bands (there’s a pun) together quicker or closer than the local music scene. I am confident as I write this (hours before the concert begins) that Floydfest will have proven that once again. As most of you know, Floyd Vedan was seriously injured several weeks back when a fellow, obviously out of control and not thinking straight, decided to swing a chair around at a party—and

Charlie Hodge apparently accidentally caught Floyd square in the face. Floyd was engaged in conversation at the time, never saw the chair coming, and went down like a sack of potatoes. For many folks, including Floyd, everything went grey for a while. Without hesitation some amazing folks such as Jimmy LeGuilloux, Brad Krauza and a couple of other musical types, immediately decided to host a fundraising concert to assist Floyd in his long road to recovery. The result of their efforts happened last night.
Thank you, to all of you, for being there for Floyd. ••• Teresa and I were blessed to have a brief and somewhat surprising visit from Floyd last Sunday. Tez and I held our annual September long weekend barbecue in our backyard, an intimate event with 130 or so of our dear friends. As usual, a large number of those attending were musical friends and as an appropriate gesture, I invited Floyd again. Neither Tez nor I thought Floyd and Shirley would make it, but simply wanted them to know they were remembered and cared about. Halfway through the day, though, the gentle giant appeared at the front gate along with his dearest friend and supporter, and we were thrilled to see them.
While Floyd has a long road to full recovery ahead of him, it was wonderful to see him looking as well as he does, with a smile on his face, and able to get around a bit on his own steam. I am sure the large gathering of folks was somewhat overwhelming for both of them, however, we were all humbled by his effort to pop by and say hello. What an honour. If last night’s concert is anywhere as magical as the music and friendship shown in my backyard on Sunday, then Floydfest will truly be a night for the memory bank. ••• Speaking of magical music, here is a quick note to jot down in your date book.

Insurance for the seasonal traveller. The season is turning, the sun is lower in the sky and leaves are showing their fall colours. It’s the time of year when people are finalizing their plans for lengthy trips to scenic U.S. destinations to escape the Canadian winter. While considering destinations, accommodations, transportation and activities for long stays, travellers are no-doubt researching travel insurance too. The cost of medical care in the U.S. can be pricey, and a single misadventure could spell the end of a much anticipated trip. The Canadian government recommends that travellers purchase travel insurance when leaving the country. Medical care outside of Canada is extremely expensive and provincial health care may not cover all of your medical expenses incurred out of the province. When researching travel insurance, there are three important things for people to consider: What is your health status? Depending upon your age, some policies might require you to complete a health questionnaire. This needs to be answered accurately to ensure you have the correct coverage. If necessary, purchase preexisting condition coverage so that you’re covered in the event you have a claim relating to a pre-existing condition. What is your trip duration? For some, one lengthy trip of 30 to 90 days may be all

that is planned. However, if you are planning multiple trips, it may be more economical to purchase an annual multi-trip plan. Do you require Trip Cancellation or Interruption coverage? Of course, it is disappointing to have to cancel a trip for any reason, from a missed connection to an unexpected illness. Trip Cancellation and Trip Interruption Insurance ensures that you won’t suffer the financial burdens typically associated with such events. But note that there is a difference between the two coverages: Trip Cancellation insures you if your travel plans are cancelled prior to departure, while Trip Interruption coverage insures you if your trip is disrupted after it has already begun.

Local authors to do mass book signing
Staving off quasi-hibernation calories T here are two phenomena going on in our province to-
day. One is that all the parents are doing spontaneous back flips and highfiving one another in public as a result of the first day of school. The other is that while we enter into fall, we humans enter into a pseudohibernation state. There is some compelling research that has been published recently that discusses that we humans do indeed enter into a ‘quieting state’ much like that of hibernation during this time of year. These are the sure signs of such a phenomena. First, we all seem sleepier than normal. This could be, in fact, due to the realization that the summer frenzy is over and all the red and white license plates have gone home. Or it could be because
ASK DR.THIEL
Markus Thiel we are, on a subconscious level, becoming aware of the fact that the days are becoming shorter. The longest day of the year took place on June 20. We’re quickly approaching the shortest day of the year which takes place on Dec. 21. Sorry, but each day is a little shorter than its predecessor. This has a direct effect on a structure within our brain called the pineal gland. This tiny gland is about the size of a grain of rice, the very geographic centre of our brain. It is called the pineal gland because it looks like a pinecone, only smaller. This gland is very sen-
sitive to changes in duration of daylight, whether we are indoor dwellers or not. In fact, when you study the cells of the pineal gland, it’s noted that they have a strong resemblance to the photoreceptors within our eye. This is the gland that effects and regulates our circadian rhythms. One of the functions of the pineal gland is to produce a hormone called melatonin. This hormone has a direct result in sedation and relaxation, if not sleep. Here’s the point. The production of melatonin is stimulated by darkness and inhibited by light. Ergo, shorter days equals more melatonin being produced. One other thing that we may notice more now than at any other time of the year is unwanted weight gain. In addition, we tend to crave rich carbohydrate type food.
These foods are loaded with calories and our belts protest. This is part of the hibernation response in preparation for the winter that is coming. I guess this is our primal self expressing itself. But I, for one, love autumn. The air smells more alive, the trees begin to change colour. It is a time for slowing down and reflection. It could also have something to do with those spontaneous back flips. However, there is good news for those who want to stave off these unwanted sedated effects of this quasi-hibernation state. First and foremost, eat well. Avoid the excessive carbohydrates and sweet foods as Christmas will be here before you know it. Avoid alcohol as it will have an effect on your sleep/wake cycles and your overall level of
stimulation throughout the day during the state. Research has demonstrates that a nice way to jumpstart this sleepy central nervous system of ours is to exercise regularly. It could be something as simple as a walk or a routine that you do three times a week. But hey, this is all common sense that could be applied throughout the year. This sedated state is normal and fortunately only transitional. It lasts only about six to eight weeks. There is good reason for it and no, you’re not losing your mind. Live well and enjoy the changing of the season. Markus Thiel is a doctor of chiropractic practicing in Kelowna. askdrthiel@shaw.ca

THE TUNDRA BUGGY is the best way to see polar bears in their natural habitat. The animals are used to seeing the vehicles and carry on naturally with their lives. Visitors are kept warm and safe inside.
Best way to see polar bears: Up close and personal, but safe Gary Ferguson CONTRIBUTOR
Could Canadians be so lucky to have one of the world’s largest land carnivores in their own back yard? Believe it or not, majestic polar bears are so close to home. They are found near Churchill, Manitoba on the western coast of Hudson Bay where we find one of the three largest polar bear maternity denning areas in the world. In fact, Churchill is referred to as The Polar Bear Capital of the World.
Did you know: • The polar bear population is estimated to be between 25,000 and 40,000 worldwide with nearly 60 per cent of the world’s polar bears living in Canada • Some of these mighty ones may grow 10 feet tall and weigh an amazing 1,400 pounds • Polar bears can swim up to 100 kilometres • A polar bear can eat up to 100 pounds of meat in one sitting • Polar bears are just as smart as apes. Their success at hunting seals may be a sign of their brain
power • Polar bears have wide front paws with slightly webbed toes that help them swim. They paddle with their front feet and
steer with their hind feet • Their babies are much smaller than human babies when they’re born. They are the size of a rat and weigh little more than
a pound. They can grow to full man size in a year if they have lots of food. Sadly, six out of eight members of the bear family are now considered
endangered in Canada. This marine mammal or “sea bear” depends upon the marine environment for survival. Scientists have identified a strong correlation between the decline in polar bears and the reduction in sea ice in Western Hudson Bay. Polar bears spend the majority of their lives on sea ice. They depend on the ice to rest and breed and it provides a platform from which to hunt seals, whose thick layers of blubber provide energy for survival. Unfortunately, the loss
of sea ice threatens much of Canadian wildlife. The time to see these creatures in their habitat is now and the most rewarding way to experience the polar bears of Churchill is to immerse yourself in their environment. Many agree, Of all the ways to experience the breathtaking beauty of Canada there’s nothing like a polar bear experience. Oh Canadians, if you were so lucky.

ALL AGES enjoy the beach at Shaw Island County Park in Washington.
Washington’s tranquil Shaw is an island of varied blessings Brian J. Cantwell CONTRIBUTOR
This island isn’t all about nuns, but you’ll be hard-pressed to avoid the topic. Especially if you’re driving too fast on that first hairpin curve just up from the ferry dock, and you meet the prioress rounding the corner in her Subaru. Yes, the head nun of Our Lady of the Rock monastery drives an SUV. She’s a small woman— you might have to look carefully to see the blackand-white wimple above the steering wheel. Shaw became famous as the “nuns’ island” in the 27 years during which Franciscan sisters operat-
ed the rustic wooden ferry dock and ran the neighboring general store. Ferry passengers bound for bigger islands in Washington’s San Juans would line railings to snap photos of the women in their habits as they tended the onelane auto ramp. But while those nuns left Shaw in 2004, two more orders remain on the island—a branch of the Benedictines, on a donated 300-acre farm called Our Lady of the Rock, and a small contingent of the Sisters of Mercy. So it is still the nuns’ island. That says a lot about Shaw, a quiet, mostly wooded, untouristed 7.7-square-mile island
from which you need to hitch a ferry to Friday Harbor if you want “bright lights.” The smallest of the four ferry-served islands of the San Juan archipelago, it’s the perfect place for a cloistered life, whether you’re heaven’s gatekeeper or just a Gates (both Bill Sr. and Jr. have places here). The day I arrived, mine was the only car getting off the ferry. But the big news on Shaw is there’s now tourist lodging where before there was none. Steve and
Terri Mason, who took over the store and dock, now rent out a 110-yearold waterfront cottage that the nuns formerly occupied. Shaw is quiet by design. Zoning prohibits businesses beyond the existing store and the headquarters of a grandfathered-in firm that makes fish tags. With only about 250 year-round residents, it seems that everybody knows everybody. “Oh, yeah,” said Steve
Mason. “They know what you’re going to do even before you think about it. It’s like a family, with all
that goes with that!” I got a tour from Chris Hopkins, a Shaw resident whose family bought va-
cation property here in 1959. A former fifth-grade

Stay at the monastery on Shaw Shaw Island A29

Shaw Island. At left is Kokopelli, one of two Portuguese water dogs at the Benedictine monastery who get chauffeured about in the nun’s beloved Ford SUV.
teacher in her mainland life, she, like many residents, helps out at both the school and library. Shaw has its own district to run the 22-student school. Why not become part of a larger library system or school district? “People here have their own way of doing things and they just do not want to abide by some other rules,” Hopkins said. But it takes a village, or a bunch of islanders, to raise the kids. The nuns
from Our Lady of the Rock, who came in 1977, pitch in to help with their education. Mother Hildegard (aka Dr. Hildegard George), a plus-size nun who says what she means and means what she says, leads 4-H outings in birding and geology. The monastery is another option for a place to stay on Shaw, and as “guest mistress,” Mother Hildegard is a visitor’s first contact. The nuns offer guest quarters for a few visitors at a time, from whom a

reasonable donation is expected (the seven-member order gets no outside funding from the Catholic Church, and raises much of its own food on the farm). Guests may come to pray—the chapel is an architectural work of art, with stained glass of Mount Baker—or to help with farm chores, or both. “You don’t have to be Catholic, but we do want you to somehow partake in our life,” Mother Hildegard explained as she showed me around, shadowed by her two big Portuguese water dogs, Kokopelli and Bella. For campers, there are 11 simple sites at Shaw Island County Park, on sandy South Beach (https://sanjuanco.com/ CAMP/parkreservations).
IF YOU GO: Getting to Shaw Island: It’s a 55-minute ride to Shaw aboard Washington State Ferries from Anacortes if you get a direct boat; most sailings require stops at Lopez and/ or Orcas islands first. Check schedules. Standard-size car and driver: $48.30 round-trip in peak season, additional for pas-
sengers. For schedules and wait-time alerts: www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries. Lodging: The quaint waterfront cottage (a former nunnery) next to Shaw General Store sleeps 4-6, with full kitchen, $150/ night. More info: www. vrbo.com/334848 or 360468-2288. To request a stay at Our Lady of the Rock monastery, contact Mother Hildegard at 360-4682321 or mhildegard@ rockisland.com. More Camping: Besides Shaw Island County Park, Blind Island Marine State Park in Blind Bay offers four primitive campsites for campers arriving by wind- or humanpowered watercraft. See www.parks.wa.gov/.
THE OUTER ISLANDS
The San Juan archipelago includes almost 200 islands. Some of the most popular are Sucia, Stuart, Cypress, Clark and Jones Islands. For info on marine state parks: www.parks. wa.gov/boating/moorage.

ALTHOUGH there are only minor changes to the exterior of the 2013 Ram 1500 pickups, there are a number of changes to the mechanicals and
running gear not the least of which is an eight-speed automatic transmission.
OUR BEST
DEALS YEAR!
When it comes to pickups, details are everything—something not lost on engineers when it comes to the new 2013 Ram 1500. Forgetting trim levels, there are literally hundreds of ways to fit out light pickups due to the myriad of needs and uses. A new wrinkle these days are ever-rising fuel/ operating costs and that means combining expected brawn with new levels of weight saving and fuel economy. It starts with the use of an eight-speed automatic transmission, the first I know of is a pickup truck. The TorqueFlite 8 also does away with column or

floor shifters supplanted by a rotary knob mounted to the left of the centre stack. This ≥e-shift≤ dial is simple to see and use even with work gloves on. Appreciated by those who know trucks is the ability to shift from Reverse to Drive quickly when towing or navigating in snow, mud, loading ramps, work sites and parking lots. The eight-speed is part of a new thermal management system that quickly raises the temperatures of the transmission and engine. Ram engineers found that heating fluids as soon as possible improved fuel efficiency by 1.7 per cent purely by cutting parasitic losses.

Eight-speed standard on 3.6-litre V6, optional on 5.7l Hemi
The eight-speed will be standard on the new 3.6-litre V6 and will be optionally available on the 5.7-litre Hemi V8 later this year. The quad cam V6 is used widely across the Chrysler model lineup and, in the Ram, it produces 305 hp and 269 lb/ft of torque. More importantly, it offers 42 per cent more horses, 11 per cent more torque and an expected 22 per cent better fuel economy than the 3.7-litre V6 it replaces. Official fuel ratings were still being calculated at this writing but Ram executives expect the 3.6-litre with eight-speed will be the segment leader in light trucks beating out current leader, Ford F-150 with its 3.7-litre V6. The second engine choice is the proven overhead valve 5.7-litre Hemi V8 with 395 hp and 407 lb/ft of torque with a stated 12 per cent fuel consumption improvement over the 2012 version of the Hemi. Standard transmission is a six-speed automatic. Lastly is the 4.7-litre SOHC V8 with 310 hp and 330 lb/ft of torque mated to a six-speed automatic and aimed primarily at fleet sales. Ram is offered in 4X2 and 4X2 versions in short and long boxes, three cabs sizes (Regular, Quad and Crew) and no less then seven trim levels (SXT, SLT, Outdoorsman, Big Horn, Sport, Laramie and Laramie Longhorn). Starting price for the base SLT 4.7-litre is $26,995; but because of the hundreds of ways to mix and match, overall pricing is too complicated to detail here. This is what Chrysler Canada told me officially. Essentially, the V6 with eight-speed is $1,200 over the 4.7 and another
$200 for the Hemi 5.7 with six-speed. So $1,400 for a Hemi over the base 4.7. But on the SLT you can actually choose the V6 or the Hemi for same price (again different packages, etc.).≤ At the press launch in Nashville I spent the whole day in the 3.6-litre in the SLT trim model which is one step up from the base SXT and what I thought will prove the most popular choice especially in the Crew Cab version I drove. Ram claims the 3.6-litre has the same grunt as a V8. With just my co-driver and I aboard, it certainly felt very strong on the combination of most secondary roads south of Nashville. The ride, not the power, was the best part. Even without the optional air suspension, the Ram tracked the narrow roads in that part of the state tenaciously. Later towing a big trailer with a large ATV strapped to it, the Ram pulled up and down gentle grades with no discernible sense of the transmission hunting the rev range for more power. Even thought our SLT was basically entry level, the seats were big and supportive with dozens of cubbies and storage areas scattered throughout which is what those who will gravitate to the SXT or SLT are looking for. But if you want premium luxury like fittings, the Longhorn has without doubt the most opulently equipped interior offered by any vehicles under the Chrysler Corporation banner. The air suspension optional ($1,500) offers five ride heights that raise or lower the body over a range of four inches. It changes ride height at speed as selected manual-
ly from the console or key fob. With the air suspension, Ram claims best in class step-in height or 553.4 mm (21 in), ground clearance 274 mm (10.8 in), best departure angle 27.8 degrees and breakout angle of 24.2 degrees. Little details, as noted above, are a big deal with pickup buyers and the Ram has sweated a lot of them. The unique Ram Box built into each side of the bed can now be opened and locked remotely and it is also illuminated. It keeps things dry but, if needed, it can carry ice and there is a drain plug. With the eight-speed transmission there are active shutters in front of the radiator. When closed, they help direct air away from the engine bay to improve aerodynamics. They automatically open when needed. There are some 45 safety/driver aids on every Ram, most standard. With 16 per cent of Canadian vehicle sales being pickups, obviously a lot is riding on the 2013 Ram and officials in Nashville were buoyed by the fact their sales are up 28 per cent so far this year, which they see as encouraging. Could this be the Year of the Ram?

Spark ignites interest in GM’s small cars Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR
Some launch events include scenic drives along mountain roads and coastal highways—even racetracks—to showcase a new vehicle’s character and driving dynamics. The streets of Toronto set the stage for the new Chevrolet Spark, and despite my usual gripes about the city’s traffic, year-round construction and general state of asphalt disrepair, it was the ideal proving ground for this urban mini car. Our day began in Parkdale, thankfully just after rush hour, in front of the hip and historic Gladstone Hotel. This restored Victorian landmark, which is a hub for the indie arts scene, was a perfect backdrop for GM’s smallest production car to date—dipped in a variety of colours that included jalapeno, salsa, lemonade and techno pink. It’s a perky little hatchback, tall and relatively narrow, but with pronounced wheel arches and standard-equipped 15inch alloys that are pushed to the corners for a more planted look than small Chevies from the past. With door handles hidden in the C-pillars, the Spark looks like a threedoor, but is actually a five door, and the only one in a segment that includes Fiat 500, Scion iQ and smart fortwo. I’m not sure whether to call it a large mini car or small subcompact. The Spark is 128 mm longer than the Fiat, 640 mm longer than the Scion and nearly a metre longer than the smart, yet it’s smaller than its stablemate, the subcompact Sonic. It’s also taller than all of these, which means headroom isn’t an issue, and it beats the competition in rear leg room. The Spark will comfortably seat two modestlysized adults in back, with enough space behind the 60/40 split bench for a sizeable load of groceries. Drop the seatbacks and the class-leading 323-litre cargo hold expands to a surprising 883 litres. Indeed, there’s a practical element to this vehicle, not to mention a low starting MSRP of $13,495, but I wouldn’t call it cheap and cheerful. GM sees mini cars as a more premium segment, which is evident in the Spark’s chic competition. Consequently, they’ve

THE 2013 Chevrolet Spark has a vibrant, edgy look with bold colour choices, standard roof-mounted spoiler, and 15-inch alloy wheels (also standard) pushed to the corners. Rear handles are hidden in the C-pillars to make it look like a three-door. zeroed in on what matters to its young, urban and tech-savvy target demographic, which aside from affordability, includes style, connectivity, nimbleness and fuel economy. In terms of style, the Spark comes in eight tones, several of which are continued inside on dash, door and seating inserts. These splashes of colour, and the motorcycle-inspired instrument layout, are part of a funky, upmarket interior that doesn’t say ‘entry-level.’ Opt for the top-trim 2LT model ($18,495) and you also get side sill extensions and a chrome exhaust outlet, neatly integrated within the rear fascia. But you don’t have to spend large to get some of the extras typically missing from base econocars. All Sparks come with a sporty roof-mounted rear spoiler, and instead of crappy steel rims (standard fare on most small cars), you get 15-inch alloy wheels—an upgrade that is part of the vehicle’s mid-cycle refresh and debut in North America. It may be new here, but the Spark has been around for over two years, with more than 600,000 sold across 80 countries. Other enhancements for 2013 include bumping engine size a little for more mid-range torque, larger 185-series tires for better traction and han-
dling, variable-assist electric power steering, hill start assist, more sound deadening material, and a new mirror design to reduce wind noise. Connectivity is also key for Spark’s younger demographic. Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment system, with seven-inch colour touch screen, is optional on the base LS model, but comes standard in the 1LT ($16,695). It provides Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, USB port, photos and video, and Stitcher internet radio on demand. A delightfully inexpensive add-on is the BringGo navigation app (available this fall), which for around 50 bucks, will provide full-function navigation using your phone as the signal carrier. It will include local search via Google, live traffic reports, points of interest, turn-by-turn directions, 3D maps and more. Nimbleness may be a priority for potential Spark buyers, and although GM has delivered in some respects, don’t assume the Spark is quick. It’s DOHC 1.2-litre four cylinder engine makes 84 hp and 83 lb/ft of torque—a little less than Scion and Fiat, but more than smart. Numbers aside, this tiny mill delivers enough pep to meet the demands of city traffic. It’s a bit buzzy, but no more than I’d expect at this price

point and displacement. Where it struggles is on the highway, with merging and passing requiring substantial effort from the 1.2-litre’s tiny pistons. This is somewhat mitigated by transmission choice. I drove both the fourspeed automatic (a $1,250 option) and the five-speed manual, and my choice would be the latter. Gearing is a bit tall (better for fuel economy), but acceleration is more lively than the autobox, with zero100 km/h taking approximately 12 seconds. The Spark is no ‘hot hatch’, and should you go
hard into a corner, expect some body lean. But the suspension soaks up road imperfections, and with its light, precise steering and good manoeuvrability (with a five-metre turning circle), this car is ideally suited to the inner city. And although mini cars aren’t entirely about thrift, good fuel economy is a must. Here, the Spark does not disappoint with 7.1/5.2/6.2 litres/100 km (city/hwy/comb - automatic) and 6.3/5.1/5.8 litres per 100 km (city/ hwy/comb) with manual. What GM hopes will win over consumers, in particular from automakers like Kia and Hyundai, is a long list of standard equipment. The base five-speed manual Spark LS isn’t in the lineup just to get feet into the showroom. It includes the wheels and spoiler mentioned above, along with power windows, tinted glass, driver info centre, tilt steering wheel, fourspeaker audio system and six months of OnStar. And on the safety front are 10 airbags, stability control, traction control, hill-start assist, and a tire pressure monitoring system. Air conditioning is extra at $1,150. The 1LT and 2LT trim

A motorcycle-inspired instrument layout and optional seven-inch colour touchscreen provide vehicle information, system status, infotainment and more. levels include all of the above, plus such niceties as MyLink, upgraded audio, heated leatherette front seats and more exterior bling. With the Spark, GM’s first mini car in U.S. and Canadian markets, the company now has three vehicles under $20K. And they’re all highly competitive within their segments. Gone are the days when people bought small cars because they couldn’t afford to go big. Vehicles like the Spark are more a fit with one’s lifestyle. Which for today’s young urbanites (and even families who need a second car), dovetails nicely with the Spark’s main attributes: Compact size, fuel economy, technology
and panache.

BIRT, CLAIRE MARY We did not know that morning what sorrow the day would bring. The bitter grief and shock severe, to part with the one we love so dear. You bid no one last farewell, no chance to say good-bye. You were gone before we knew it, only God knows why. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone for part of us went with you the day God called you home. Though your smile is gone forever and your hand we cannot touch, we will never lose the memory of the one we love so much.

In Loving Memory of
Robert Chmelyk July 21, 1948 - Sept 8, 2011 A year has passed already Little did we know that morning God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you didn't go alone For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, Your love is still our guide. And though we cannot see you, You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same. But as God calls us one by one, The chain will link again. Love always Mom and Family

Jack led a full and rewarding life of 90 years which started at the homestead in Peace River on October 4, 1921. The family then moved to the Okanagan in the late 1920s settling into a life of fruit farming in Osoyoos. Jack moved to fruit inspection and then to Consumer and Corporate Affairs in Kelowna, retiring somewhat reluctantly in 1986. Jack kept himself busy with his many friends, offering a hand whenever it was needed while enjoying many cultural events and sports. The family wishes to thank Jack’s medical team, particularly those who provided home care over the last few months.

Appraisals key part of mortgage approval
W INTERIOR DESIGN
Appraisal from B20
Light from B20
Along with coming up with comparable sales, the appraisal will physically measure the rooms of your home and look at the overall condition of your home.
FACTS TO KEEP IN MIND While the cost of the appraisal is normally borne by the mortgage applicant, in some instances the cost of the appraisal can be waived at the discretion of a financial institution. An appraisal for a standard home will cost in the neighbourhood of $250, plus applicable taxes. For the most part, appraisals are a necessary part of the mortgage closing process. There are some instances where the lender will accept the B.C. Assessment Notice to determine the value of the property if your mortgage is low in comparison to that value. When it comes to property over five acres in size, some institutions will only accept appraisals based on a maximum five acres plus the residence. Others will give value for the full acreage and whatever other improvements are on the property. Should you have less than 20 per cent equity in your home, your lender will require “high ratio” financing through either Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation or Genworth Insurance. If that is the case, then an appraisal is normally not required. And if you are financing an older home the appraiser will state what the “remaining economic life” of the home is. If your home has a remaining economic life of 15 years, then the longest amortization the lender will let you have is no more than 15 years. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324; Darwyn Sloat, 250-718-4117; Arlyne Wilson, 250-862-1818; and Kristin Rosdal, 250-878-3007.
Innovations in lighting created from LEDs with vibrant colour and flashed messages around the arena. An LED is tiny, about one-fourth the size of your pinkie fingernail. It takes a number of LEDs to produce the light of a conventional light bulb, but those teeny light sources can be arrayed in interesting ways. “You’re seeing a lot of creativity,” said Jeff Dross, corporate director of education and industry trends at Kichler Lighting. “…Essentially, a designer is unleashed at this point.” Take, for example, the edge-lighted panels that GE Lighting Solutions unveiled last year. They’re thin, transparent acrylic panels rimmed with LEDs, which illuminate the acrylic when they’re turned on. The panels can be recessed in a ceiling or wall or suspended from a ceiling like a sleek, contemporary chandelier. Kichler is starting to
incorporate LEDs into its lighting fixtures, Dross said. It recently introduced an ultra-thin wall sconce and is planning to come out with an LED chandelier in a few months, although he said details are hush-hush. The sconce is noteworthy in that it’s only about 2 inches deep, so it doesn’t extend far into the room—“almost like a framed picture on a wall,” Dross said. That makes it compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act, which limits how far a fixture can protrude so it won’t endanger people without sight, he explained. Perhaps the biggest innovations promise to come from a type of LED called an organic lightemitting diode. Whereas an LED produces a point of light, an OLED is a plane that lights up, explained Joe Rey-Barreau, who teaches lighting design at the University of Kentucky
and is a spokesman for the American Lighting Association. OLEDs produce a homogenous, diffused light that’s easy to look at directly, said Angela HohlAbiChedid, an OLED expert with Philips Lighting. They’re less than onetenth-inch thick and getting thinner, and they’re lightweight and cool to the touch, she said. Philips’ largest OLED is four inches square, but they can be customized in a variety of sizes and shapes, such as rectangles, circles and ovals. Lighting designers are capitalizing on the qualities of OLEDs to create innovative lighting products. For example, WAC Lighting’s new Vela chandelier is a contemporary fixture that incorporates 24 OLEDs. Twelve shine upward to create a glow overhead, and the other 12 shine downward to illuminate the surface below. The chandelier produces 2,040 lumens of light, a little less than the
light output of one conventional, 150-watt incandescent bulb. But it uses only about 58 watts of electricity to do so, according to the company. Even more intriguing are light sources that are unlike anything we’ve seen before. Philips Lighting has already introduced a mirror made of OLED panels, which produces diffused illumination when the OLEDs are lighted and becomes a mirrored surface when they’re off, Hohl-AbiChedid said. The mirror even senses when someone approaches and turns off some of the lights, she said. Philips has also produced OLED wall panels that respond to the movements of the people in the room. The panels, about 8.5 feet wide by 4.5 feet tall, contain more than 1,000 small OLEDs that translate movements into a show of light. The OLEDs provide both a warm glow to the room and a source of entertainment—“very gen-
tle, very elegant, but very much fun,” HohlAbiChedid said. (You can see a video of the panels and other examples of Philips’ OLED lighting innovations at http://tinyurl.com/ ledphilips.) And even more dramatic effects are on their way. WAC and Philips are both developing OLEDs that will be transparent when they’re turned off. “Imagine what that would do…in windows,” said Shelley Wald, the company’s president. Eventually, flexible OLEDs, which could be bent into three-dimensional shapes and wrapped around columns, will be available, HohlAbiChedid said. Don’t expect that kind of innovation at your local big box store anytime soon. WAC’s OLED lighting fixtures, for example, start at $500 a panel, and Philips’ wall panels are around $70,000— not exactly mass-market products yet.

LEDs shining a light on interior design Canada appears Mary Breckenridge CONTRIBUTOR
So perhaps you thought the lighting at the recent Summer Olympics’ opening and closing ceremonies was cool? Well, get ready to be wowed right in your own home. Advances in LED lighting are promising not only to brighten our homes, but also spark our imaginations. LEDs are freeing lighting designers from the constraints of conventional bulbs, and those designers are responding with products that could change how we think about lighting a room. Picture lighted wall panels that respond to our movements, windows that morph into lighting sources and starry arrays suspended from the ceiling. Those sorts of innovations are probably years away from common residential use. But some are already starting to find their way into hospitality and oth-
er business settings, and even into some high-end homes. They’re possible because of the unusual properties of LEDs. LEDs are light-emitting diodes, semiconductor devices that light up when electrical current passes through. We’ve become familiar with them in such uses as traffic lights and automotive lighting, and lately they’ve been inching into the home in such forms as under-counter lighting, recessed lighting and even replacement light bulbs. But the Olympic ceremonies showed us that LEDs have a wow factor, too. LEDs lighted the Olympic rings and gave the wings of costumed characters an ethereal glow. Mounted on stadium seats, LEDs made the audience part of a digital light show that pulsed See Light B19

Addressing myths in house appraisal process
No two properties are the same. Every property has unique characteristics that make it different from the next. Even identical looking houses on the same street can hide things that could create differences in the value of the properties in question. For instance, one house could have a newly renovated kitchen with brand new appliances and a finished basement, while the other house may be in need of major interior repairs or lack the pizzaz of the other. These differences, while per-
haps not obvious on the outside, can greatly affect the ultimate sale prices of the two homes. In order for a financial institution to have an understanding of the value of the property in relation to the mortgage amount application, a given property must be appraised by an independent appraiser. In our current volatile real estate market, appraisals offer the only method to arrive at a fair “market value” for a home. The appraised value of a home determines how much money the mortgage lender can
provide for home renovations, renewals, investment and other personal needs. Keep in mind, when you purchase a home the mortgage lender will grant a mortgage based on the lesser of the purchase price of the home or the appraised value.
HOW AN APPRAISAL IS DONE There is more than one way that qualified appraisers can determine real estate values. The most common for residential properties is called the comparative or market method, in which a comparison of recent-
ly sold properties is researched based on common characteristics and location. Recently sold properties are identified, and adjustments are made up or down for any house characteristic differences. No less than three comparative sales are used in the appraisal process. The appraisal will show the potential sale value of the property within the last 90 days, to stay current with changing values. See Appraisal B19
hroughout the REAL ESTATE struggle that Europe faces with RUNDOWN its financial crisis, Canada has continued to show progress and resilience in comparison to the troubles of our neighbouring Ceinwen countries. Morgan And there is good news to report; the numbers reflect that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The fiscal monitor has reported that Friday, Aug. 31, there is budget deficit of $2 billion for the first three months of the 2012-13 fiscal year (April to June) compared to $4.2 billion recorded for the same period a year earlier. Statistics Canada also reflected that Canada’s economy has grown by 1.8 in the second quarter. But despite that strong growth, Finance Minister, Jim Flaherty has expressed some doubting concerns. “The global economic fallout from Europe’s sovereign debt and banking crisis, and the slow recovery in the U.S. continue to hinder the Canadian economy” said Flaherty. “The Euro area has seen virtually no growth for over the year, and some of its key economies have fallen back into recession. The U.S. recovery also continues to be sluggish” With so many unknowns, Flaherty has advised Canadians for months now to take precautionary steps to prevent any future foreclosure scenarios and to avoid any risks that could force our economy into a downward spiral. “At some point, interest rates are likely to rise and that means residential mortgage rates will be going up over time,” he cautioned. “I think Canadians are increasingly getting that message.” Over the past few years, our Canadian government has made some very tough decisions, such as implementing new mortgage rules, and tightening up qualifications for mortgages, but all of these adjustments are clearly being reflected in the positive outcome of the fiscal monitor numbers. The future can not be predicted for our country or any of our neighbouring countries. But our country has led with their strongest foot to nudge forward in tough economic times as other countries have simply stood still.
