There is blood all over Ishmael’s chest as he tumbles down the tarmac. The fuselage of Unity Flight 123 (WestJet 132) destined for Calgary is lying to his right as two firefighters drag him along. He is telling them there are more injured passengers inside and they can be heard pounding on the walls of the airplane, trying to get out. “We found him outside the exterior,” shouts one of the first responders heading for the triage area. Little do they know, it’s entirely possible the 34-year-old man might be one of the men arrested for causing an explosion in flight. See story on A3.

CLOSE-UP
Preparing for the real thing from A1 They just lift him from the arms of help, lower him to the ground in the red zone marked for the seriously injured beside a fleet of ambulances. Two girls, who wandered off slightly before emergency crews pulled in to help, are lying out of sight, one under a tree by Old Vernon Road. There’s speculation on the sidelines as to whether the girls are heading for the port-a-potty or part of the exercise as they’ve gotten themselves so far out of the obvious crash zone it doesn’t seem plausible they will be found. On a brilliant sunny September morning, the first nip of fall in the air, 40 different agencies have decided to set aside the real life drama of the Peachland forest fire earlier in the week and go ahead with Operation Unity. Some 18 months in the making, the exercise simulates a major disaster, encompassing a wide range of tactical problems. There’s a neighbourhood fuel spill, the plane crash, possible water contamination at UBCO and reports the school’s basketball team was on
board the aircraft. Ishmael is really a UBCO theatre student. Young actors arrived Wednesday evening at Ellison Heritage School Community Centre to begin having their makeup applied. “It’s really important the injuries look realistic because it’s what propels the first responders into action,” says Stephanie Farrell, who applied the makeup with one other artist. Stunningly realistic, the gouges and gobs of flesh make a zombie walk look mundane. Before the plane is emptied of occupants, a young man who is apparently missing enough flesh his jawbone seems to show, will emerge along with a suspected terrorist whose eyeball hangs from a string. The terrorist is dragged from the plane by RCMP who threw the timeline of the day’s events off slightly by taking a few extra minutes to clear the aircraft for explosives. “I haven’t done anything,” the suspected hijacker yells as he’s finally whisked aside, wrists zipped behind his back. Farrell is a nurse who once ran an emergency room in England. She

logical bits,” she said. “But with high definition television and film they now have courses on how to be scrutinized up close.” Between working in her husband’s medical
practice and helping run Tactical Scenario Medical Training (Tascmet), the company who won the bid to stage this exercise, she builds latex wounds to make the scenarios as real as possible.
Every three years, the airport must conduct a live emergency response like this; but this week’s event is by far the largest to date in the Okanagan. The Canadian Disaster Animal Response
Team (CDART) was called out to assist with contaminated horses in Glenmore and set up an animal rescue at The Sal-

Kelowna city council has approved final adoption of the streamlined process for secondary suites. The new process permits secondary suites in single-family dwellings in most residential zones of the city without requiring a rezoning of the property. “This change will help provide more affordable housing stock in Kelowna with minimal impact to neighbourhoods,” said Mayor Walter Gray. “No new infrastructure is required because the secondary suites are contained within existing single-family homes.” The new process will require a building permit application concurrent with a business licence application, both of which are reviewed by city staff to ensure a dwelling can support the inclusion of a secondary suite. A business licence is required to legalize any existing or new secondary suites within a single-family dwelling. A 30-day grace period began Monday for owners of unregistered suites to
conform to the new process before the city starts to enforce the new bylaw. But the city said enforcement personnel will not actively seek out unlicenced suites, but rather, will respond to complaints. “Bylaw enforcement action (at the end of the 30-day grace period) will only apply to approximately 10 properties that had previously applied for rezoning to legalize their suite and currently do not have the appropriate building permit or business licence approvals in place,” said the city in a news release clarifying its position about enforcement of the new secondary suite rules. “The affected properties will be receiving written notification shortly advising of the steps required to legalize their suites.” The city’s change to its secondary suite rules applies only to secondary suites being created within an existing single-family dwelling. Secondary suites in accessory buildings, now known as carriage houses, will continue to have a separate approval process. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Politicians on side with craft distillery industry

B.C.’s craft distillery industry hopes to see changes to provincial liquor laws that would even the playing field with wine producers sooner rath-
er than later now that the NDP has publicly thrown its support behind the call. Tyler Dyck, CEO of Okanagan Spirits which operates out of Kelowna and Vernon, and who acts as spokesman for the Artisan Distillers’ Guild, said
the guild has been working with the government on the changes but it was good news to hear the Opposition NDP are also now on side. “We love support from anyone,” said Dyck, referring to Wednesday’s an-
nouncement in Kelowna by NDP leader Adrian Dix that his party now supports extending the following measures to B.C. artisan distillers: • Adjusting the Liquor Distribution Branch mark-up to 129 per cent

from 170, and exempting storefront sales from commission • Direct sales to restaurants and licensees, in addition to sales through the Liquor Distribution Branch • On-site lounges and event areas. Dyck said the three moves are part of what the guild has been asking the B.C. government for. “And we have heard that the changes could come in six to eight weeks,” said Dyck. As it stands now, craft distillers—there are just seven in the province— have to pay a 70 per cent mark-up fee to the province for every bottle of their product sold and cannot sell directly to bars and restaurants. Meanwhile, wineries only pay a 29 per cent mark-up fee per bottle and can sell directly to bars and restaurants. And, they can have lounges on-site as well. Dyck, whose other job is being a physiotherapist and co-owner of Sun City Physiotherapy in Kelowna, said without that work, it is unlikely he would be in the distillery business because he could not afford to keep it afloat given the current rules. He said the reason he and his family have stuck with the business for the last nine years is because of their passion for it and because they are gambling that “common sense will prevail.” And he said after the work the guild has done with provincial Liberal government and the new support from the NDP, it appears that gamble may be about to pay off. He credited local Liberal MLAs Norm Letnick (Kelowna-Lake Country) and Ben Stewart (Westside-Kelowna) as being instrumental in helping push the issue in Victoria. On Wednesday, Dix said the same measures used to deal with wineries should be extended to help grow B.C.’s burgeoning artisan distillery industry, including lowering the mark-up distilleries have to pay the government. “There is a viable business case that the same provisions that past governments put in place to build the wine industry can help artisan distilleries flourish, boosting agriculture, tourism and Liquor Distribution Branch sales in the process,” said Dix. “These boutique spirits are already earning B.C. international acclaim and awards, and represent a new opportunity in value-added manufacturing for B.C.”

NEWS ▼ GOSANGO
Group buying site shuts virtual doors Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Bargain hunters with a penchant for group buying sites have had to steer clear of the Kelownabased company GoSango in recent days. After a prolonged period of public tumult and complaints that vendors weren’t being paid and consumers were being turned away with coupons in hand, the site has shut its online doors. Halting sales is a decision, according to coowner Michael Minor, that was made to give the business enough time to finish a sale to another groupbuying entity, and ultimately right the course of the business that’s sinking under hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt. “We’re working hard to get the problem solved and pay all the merchants,” said Minor. “Also, all the merchants who have been paid for the deals have a contractual and moral obligation to honour vouchers.” According to Minor, he’s had reports that even businesses that were paid for services are turning away customers in an attempt to take advantage of the company’s shaky footing. In the wake of news that the site was closing, however, the GoSango Facebook page was flood-
ed with people saying they’ve contacted many vendors who will follow through—some of which were among those GoSango never paid. “If anyone has their vouchers for the Try It Music Classes with me, I will still honour the vouchers,” said a woman identified online as Wendy Wardill Puttick. “I have not been paid by the company, but I still wish to honour your vouchers. If possible, please contact me soon, so I know that everyone has been able to receive their music classes.” Other online comments, however, were far less favourable and GoSango has been painted as a bit of scam. It’s a characterization that Minor has trouble with. By his estimate, the company has a long history of customer satisfaction despite having been in jeopardy for some time. Only recently had things become dire enough to impact clients. “I’m not denying there have been merchants who have been unpaid in the last couple of months,” he said, noting he was working hard to fix things because if he lets down his clientele, he’s letting down his “friends and family” who have made Kelowna home. “But the last six weeks
Curious
has made running the business difficult. We’ve been caught up in sensationalism and soundbites.” Minor and his partner have sunk well over $1 million into the business, and despite the site’s popularity, they “never made a nickel from day one.” Things turned really sour at the beginning of 2012 when they became embroiled in a legal battle with former parent company Twongo.
‘‘
NOW EVERY TWO WEEKS ANOTHER STORY COMES OUT. Michael Minor
They licenced rights to the Canadian leg of the company for $500,000, when they could have struck out on their own for much less. The company then changed its name to GoSango, restructured and started to make improvements. Improved budgets made them appealing to another buyer and they went through the process to sell. Then, at the last minute, the buyer pulled
out and Minor and his partner were in trouble again, and starting to fall behind in paying vendors. It’s a story that leaked quickly and news organizations made a lot out of it. “Now every two weeks another story comes out,” said Minor. In that time, monthly sales have plummeted from the usual figure of between $120,000 and $200,000 to a dismal $40,000. That has made continuing untenable and, worse by Minor’s estimate, put a new potential sale in jeopardy. The easiest way to protect both vendor and consumer dollars, he said, is to pause and allow the business database to be sold to another group buying business. “If nobody wants to buy us, we will have to close the doors, which we don’t want to do,” he said. “I’ll fight to my dying breath. My friends, family, parents, brothers and inlaws…those are my customers. And the last thing I want to do is let them down.” Meanwhile, customer service is dealing with individual issues and Twongo has agreed to continue hosting the GoSango website through October to allow continued access to subscriber and merchant accounts.

He was one of several students networking with potential employers at UBCO Career Day Thursday. “You start to think long-term and realize these are the connections you need,” said Patterson. “When you come prepared with questions, that’s when you can really find out about what you want in a company.” Twenty-five companies—including BC Hydro, Husky Energy, Scotiabank and Target Canada—had booths set up in the Engineering, Management, Education Building. Patterson, who is in his third-year, said the opportunity to meet representatives from those companies face-to-face is one he wanted to take advantage of. “You can go on their
Will Patterson websites and find out a lot of information, but you don’t really get to know the interpersonal stuff.” Jamie Basran, career manager at UBCO, said this is the first year the university will host two career days. Previously, the annual February career fair was the only chance for students to meet with prospective employers. This year, the university opted to take advantage of the

Affordable Rental Housing Grants The City of Kelowna invites submissions for grants for the construction of new affordable rental housing in 2013. Grants are available as follows:
Judie Steeves
Up to a maximum of the Development Cost Charge (DCC) equivalent/ unit of affordable rental housing, subject to available funding in 2013.
Some top local chefs are going head-to-head over a hot barbecue with Delta Grand chef Stuart Klassen, competing to see who barbecues the best brisket, and everyone’s invited to help raise funds for Habitat for Humanity Kelowna to build homes for deserving families. The Raise the Roof BBQ Challenge is Saturday, Sept. 15, on the rooftop parkade of the Delta Grand Okanagan from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. For $25 you can first be entertained by the antics of chefs competing in front of you at the barbecue, and then you can sample the creations of more than a half dozen different chefs and cast your vote for the best. While there you can enjoy live music, beer and wine samples and a food concession, as well as help choose the Okanagan’s best barbecue chef. Tickets are available at selectyourtickets.com Celebrity judges will get to vote for the Okanagan’s Star of the Barbecue, as well as those in attendance. The real winners will be the families who need a hand up, when Habitat for Humanity is able to build them a new home, Klassen said.
Please note: 1. The City requires a letter of application which must be received by September 30th, 2012. 2. Units to be identified for funding must qualify under the City’s definition of affordable rental housing, which can include market rental buildings with five (5) or more dwellings; 3. Units eligible for funding must be secured by entering into a housing agreement with the City; 4. Dwellings must be reasonably expected to be constructed in 2013. For details, consult Council Policy No. 335: RENTAL HOUSING GRANTS (from www.kelowna.ca, go to City Hall, select “Council”, then “Policies”. Policies are listed alphabetically by title.)

Corporate tax breaks don’t translate into new jobs for Canadians
To the editor: There is always an easy way out of talking about corporate advantages that translate into disadvantages for the little people. The conversation usually deteriorates into semantics, with one side hurling epithets at the other over their ideological differences. The question we really need to ask, above all else, is: Why do we continue to give enormous businesses tax breaks? Of course it encourages them to come to Canada and save their money, perhaps build some meager infrastructure to validate their position here, but it never seems to create any jobs. Mostly, tax breaks give corporations a place to keep their profits, which is typically redistributed to the top five per cent of the company. That is where the inequality becomes an even larger issue.

Although this tale of woe really lacks the grit of most Okanagan fire recollections, it also gave be a big blank spot in fireman recognition, which is a cultural staple in the valley.

I was in dour spirits, fearing all sorts of dire scenarios, when one sole helicopter plopped into the lake nearby. Winds were heinous, yet that helicopter struggled back and forth bucketing water, plunging into a cloud of smoke and coming back again for more. Planes followed, and their effort was also awe-inspiring. Danger was

City’s school bus runs leave residents to walk To the editor: I have seen the new, improved, Kelowna Student Transit service, and it is ugly. On Tuesday, Sept.4, I was awaiting the #8 bus in front of the Cottonwoods Care Centre, at 11:55 a.m. A bus sped by, exhibiting the sign: Out Of Ser-
vice. It appeared to be packed with students. The young lady waiting with me said: “They’ll send another bus right behind it.” I said, “No they won’t,” and they didn’t. A half-hour later, another #8 stopped, so the
driver could inform us that we would have to wait for the next bus, since his was full—it appeared to be full of students. At this point, the young, and now quite angry, young lady left, in order to voice her displeasure by phone, to the transit management.
I wasn’t going to await the next packed #8, and walked over to the hospital in hopes of, perhaps, being able to catch a, not so full, #1 bus to take me out of my way to the #10 that would get me home to Rutland. I’m a senior who, thankfully, could manage
that walk—many could not. The Kelowna Student Transit experience could drive many of its customers to the nearest car sales lot, if the bus would indeed show up, and not be packed to the gills. Don Snider, Kelowna

To the editor: Re: For Safety Sake, Cell Phone Use In All Vehicles Should Be Banned, column by Paul Hergott, Aug. 16 Capital News. Mr. Hergott has done an excellent job covering the reasons to prohibit cell phone use r(hands-free included) by drivers of vehicles. I could not agree more with the points he made. As a motorist, cyclist and pedestrian I
find the use of cell phones by drivers to be a huge safety concern—there are sufficient distractions available without adding to them. Unfortunately, many of the accidents caused by drivers using cell phones (and /or texting) cause injury and death to people who are not driving while distracted. The cell phone industry has sold a large number of hands-free “distraction units” to

motorists over the last few years, prompted by the prohibition of hands-on cell phone use by drivers. Surely the industry has had sufficient financial rewards and the province can now take a serious look at the safety aspects of all cell phone use and do what they should have done several years ago—outlaw all cell phone use by drivers.

Corp Tax from A10
Tax breaks do not create jobs and redistribute the wealth to those who need it. It opens the door for further entitlements and unprecedented greed. Now, that’s not to say that corporate taxes tare the solution to every problem. Cutting them down to a reasonable degree is a smart way to try and draw jobs and infrastructure to Canada. The issue comes when companies have no real initiative to create any jobs and are not held accountable for it. The United States is the perfect example of this, as many companies have headquartered in the U.S. for this very reason. Their corporate tax rate is high, but is filled with loopholes that can cut down the tax rate for some companies to zero. That kind of attitude drove the
U.S. economy into its steep recession and, so far, has done little to benefit them in general. The Canadian Labour Congress’s report, posted on Jan. 25, 2012, clearly lays out the damage these cuts create. We cannot continue to accept this standard as Canadians. For Stephen Harper’s Conservatives to slash corporate tax rates from 21 per cent to 15 per cent doesn’t sound like a lot, but the CLC notes a one per cent cut represents $2 billion in lost revenue. That is $2 billion in lost funding for teachers, community programs, federally funded health organizations and so on. All of these services are essential, according to the federal Conservatives and B.C. Premier Christy Clark’s Liberals, so why is it that they (workers) are being made out as the bad guys when they ask for competitive wages? The real heart of the matter is that money

That $2 billion in Federal revenue for that one per cent increase in taxes would pay for 28,571 more teachers, according to Taxpayer. com’s slightly over-estimated average salary for educators in British Columbia. So, $2 billion in the corporate world is an incentive, yet not significant in the overall scheme of things. But $2 billion for the average Canadian citizen can represent a better education, sophisticated health care and an improved quality of life. Which is more important to you? Brandon Taylor, Kelowna

vation Army as the plane supposably dumped fuel in the valley. Environment Canada weatherman Doug Lundquist was even called upon to conjure up weather conditions to challenge the teams. According to the scenario, after the Calgarybound flight was hijacked by terrorists, an explosion occurred on the flight. Passengers on the plane managed to subdued the offenders responsible, though the emergency landing that follows does not go well. The pilot made contact with the airport and opted for an emergency landing at Kelowna’s airport, YLW, dumping a streak of fuel across Glenmore in the process and potentially contaminating water on the university grounds. He then crashes just off the runway. UBCO’s call centre immediate kicks into action, fielding queries from concerned parents and students and, at some point, a tweet suggests the plane may be carrying the school’s basketball team. Unfortunately, neither the school, the regional district’s emergency operations centre nor the airport’s emergency operations room will ever get confirmation of the passenger manifest and everyone is left to cope with what’s known.

Tascmet team member Gloria Richardson says a terrorist attack would usually require a call to the North American Aerospace Defense Command anyway and NORAD would scramble jets.

Council to decide Monday on electrical asset sale Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Kelowna city council will decide Monday if it wants to sell the assets of its electrical utility to FortisBC Inc. At the scheduled council meeting, councillors will consider the Electrical Utility Restructuring Opportunity’s Asset Purchase agreement between the city and Fortis. Council will also consider initiating the alternative approval process to seek the approval of the deal. The agreement is a legal document that, if approved, would pave the way for the city to implement what the city is calling an opportunity to shift Kelowna from its current role as electrical utility owner to a new role as an investor. The deal would: • transfer its electrical utility assets to FortisBC for $55 million; and • use the proceeds from the transfer to buy shares in FortisBC’s parent company, Fortis Inc., subject to approval by B.C.’s inspector of municipalities. The agreement was developed through a lengthy process that began with the recognition that the city’s existing electrical utility business model is not sustainable.
Financial returns to taxpayers under the current model—$2.1 million per year—are vulnerable to different pressures, says the city, in particular changes in the wholesale price of electricity, future capital spending on system infrastructure and increases in operating and maintenance costs. The transfer of Kelowna’s electrical assets to Fortis, combined with an investment of the $55 million in proceeds from the sale, would provide taxpayers with long-term, annual returns that are expected to meet or exceed the earnings possible under the city’s current model, said City Hall. The need for such returns has been a driving principle for the city since the it started negotiations about the future of the city utility. The city had initially anticipated investing its proceeds in FortisBC debt (i.e., bonds). That intention was announced in July, when staff reported its plan to council in the form of a proposed memorandum of understanding signed by the city and Fortis. In recent months, however, the city revisited its plan after determining an investment in Fortis Inc. common shares represented the better investment option.
A purchase of $55 million of Fortis Inc. common shares offers the potential to generate returns that will increase over time in tandem with increases in share value, and the accompanying increases in the growth rate of dividend payments, said a news release issued by City Hall Thursday afternoon. “Using conservative estimates, the investment of the city’s pro-
ceeds in Fortis Inc. shares would be expected to generate annual earnings for taxpayers that would increase from $2.1 million to $4.5 million over 30 years,” said John Vos, general manager of community services. The city hired the accounting firm of Deloitte and Touche to review the agreement and asked it to provide an opinion as to the fairness of the purchase price of $55 million
Cops for Kids riders will be welcomed home Sunday, noon, at the Orchard Park Shopping Centre CIBC branch, to mark the end of their fundraiser cycling trek. The team of 21 has been cycling across the southern interior in order to raise money for children in medical, physical or traumatic crisis. The 10-day journey has taken the team over some steep inclines, facing inclement weather along the way, but their perseverance has pushed them to continue helping children from our communities. Funds raised from this event go to support the purchase of much needed medical equipment, learning and mobility aids for local children. “We were pedalling up the Paulson summit when the rain started to pour. As the legs were burning, each rider started to think of all the kids who will benefit from our short term pain,” said Cops For Kids president and ride participant Gail Harrison. “These children face uphill challenges every day. I know our legs will feel better after some rest, but these children don’t always have that option.” Cops for Kids are grateful for the generosity shown by all of our communities. “Our riders join us from across the region, and these are some of the most hardworking people in law enforcement today,” said ride captain Julie Krenz, with West Kelowna RCMP. “Each rider has fundraised a minimum of $2,000 in order to be a part of the ride. During the ride, local community groups, restaurants, and hotels generously extend their hospitality to our team. Saving on these costs allows us to put all of our efforts towards the children.”
required number of signatures on petitions in a set time in order to force a vote. If council initiates the process on Monday, residents will be given 30 days, from Sept. 26 to Oct. 26, to object. The transfer will be considered approved if fewer than 10 per cent of electors sign objection petitions. To learn more about the proposed deal, go to kelowna.ca/cityprojects. Since 2000, FortisBC
has worked with Kelowna as the city’s electrical contractor in planning, operating and maintaining municipal electrical utility assets. The company also provides electricity through its own utility to all parts of the community that are not served by the city, and provides natural gas services throughout the entire municipality. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

tale trail of it in the sky. Most folks living here during the 2003 wildfire that swept through Okanagan Mountain Park and across the south slopes of Kelowna have the same feelings of apprehension whenever there’s a whiff of smoke on a hot day in this valley. It’s taken some of the fun out of enjoying a bit of the wood smoke smell that’s reminiscent of the fun of a camping trip. That’s just one of those things we will never regain, after the horror of watching as that undulating wall of smoke and flame moved across the hills above Kelowna, taking some 238 homes that were in its path and forever changing the landscape. At the start of that firestorm small trees were bent parallel to the ground under the force of strong, gusty winds that are not uncommon in an Okanagan summer. We love to build our homes on the natural hillsides of the Okanagan, where mature pines and firs can go up like candles after a cigarette butt is dropped in the dry grass.

SPIRES OF BURNED evergreens continue to be a feature of Kelowna’s south slopes nine years after the Okanagan Mountain Park wildfire, and they will be part of the landscape in Trepanier now as well. Some years later, we were headed to a friends’ barbecue in Glenrosa when a curl of smoke above Gorman Brother’s Lumber mill rapidly turned into leaping flames before our eyes, pushed by strong winds it destroyed three homes and nearly took out the mill as well. Another fire at the same time threatened to engulf parts of West Kelowna Estates, and changed the look of parts of Rose Valley Regional Park. It wasn’t the only fire in that beautiful wilderness park in recent years, and along Westside Road there have been a number of blazes that kept firefighters scrambling to pre-
vent the loss of homes. It’s been suggested that the answer might be in creating golf courses all around our communities. But we should think a minute before we take a chainsaw to all those glorious evergreens that are native to this dry valley, rip up the silver-gray sagebrush and rabbitbrush, chop down the saskatoons and mock orange bushes and cut off all the wildflowers at the knees. If a valley surrounded by lush green golf courses is where you want to live, then why would you move to a near-desert climate? If green grass soothes your soul, why would you choose to live in a valley where dead grasses pre-

dominate through most of the year, and where sweetly-scented pine needles rather than aromatic cedar branches are the flavour of the day? Instead of trying to change the landscape, perhaps we should be changing the behaviour and the attitudes of the people who have moved here. It’s dangerous to smoke in our natural areas after weeks of hot, dry summer weather unless you don’t use fire to light it and you extinguish it by swallowing it. It’s not safe to ride a motorbike through the dry grasses of late summer when the least spark from a muffler could set them on fire. Since people can’t be trusted to keep their campfires small, away from flammable materials, and then put them out before they leave them, perhaps the campfire will have to become a pleasure of the past. And, that still wouldn’t deal with the natural dangers of lightning-caused fires, but modern technology has become pretty good at detecting them after a dry thunderstorm. So, do we reform the natural landscapes of this valley, or do we reform people’s behaviour? I vote for the latter, and let’s keep the unnatural greens to a minimum.

Xeriscape class releases unknown passion for gardening L ast fall, Ray and Rita Kirzinger attended my two night xeriscape classes. They were new to the Okanagan, moving to Kelowna in May 2011. Ray followed my suggestion to ‘start small’ and had great success. He was not an avid gardener, but the experience sparked a passion for gardening. He told me: “I’ve been bitten by the gardening bug as a result of doing a garden conversion of a corner in our backyard this spring.” Although he included a swing seat solely for his wife, he now spends a lot of time there observing the plants and the bees and butterflies that come to visit them. Ray began with good topsoil, making a raised garden bordered by a six inch wall of landscape blocks. He laid a stepping stone path leading into the garden and the seat, then planted creeping elfin thyme between the flagstones. After all plants were planted, the garden was mulched with Nature’s Gold. Watering has been done with a watering wand as needed. Plants were chosen from some I showed in my class and from the plant database at www. okanaganxeriscape.org. Early blooming perennials include creeping phlox, perennial candytuft (both evergreen), and Oriental poppy. Early summer brings a show of lavender, and yarrow. Both evergreen, they re-bloom later in the
GARDENING WITH NATURE
Gwen Steele summer. Various low-growing sedums bloom at different times and add interest with varying foliage colours and textures. Long-blooming perennials include blanket flowers, Coreopsis, Echinacea, and Rudbeckia. Seeded, long-blooming annuals are Alyssum and snapdragons. Additional late season colour is provided by Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’ and Russian sage. Ornamental grasses and Artemesia ‘Silver Mound’ add foliage interest. To allow for easy harvesting, herbs are close to the path and garden wall. Sage, thyme and chives are perennial. Parsley and basil will need to be replanted every year. While rosemary and bay leaf plants are ex-
tremely drought tolerant, to overwinter they must be potted up and put in a sunny window indoors. Mint, oregano and lemon balm spread rapidly so may need to be moved to a confined area. The only shrub is a burning bush. Ray did a great job of choosing plants to have bloom in all three seasons and some winter interest. This fall, he could add more spring colour by planting spring bulbs. With his new passion for gardening, next spring may find Ray dividing and moving some perennials to begin another garden. If you want to get your creativity flowing for next year’s water-wise gardening projects, I invite you to come to my twonight ‘Introduction to Xeriscape’ classes Sept. 24 and Oct. 1. Details and registration information are on the OXA website or call 250-762-6018. *** Friends of the Summerland Ornamental Gardens will be holding their annual fall plant sale Saturday, Sept. 15, from 8
a.m. to 3 p.m. Event includes four informative presentations. More details are avail-
able at www.summerlandornamentalgardens. org. Gwen Steele is exec-

Peachland charitable adventure seeker finds a new challenge Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
Mark Jennings-Bates has taken on a mountain of challenges over the
years, competing in the Dakar rally, attempting to set a Guinness World Record for longest continuous flight by a powered paraglider and training for a
110-kilometre ultra-marathon in Guatemala. Now he will take on an actual mountain. Jennings-Bates, 49, will head to Africa this
January in an attempt to climb the highest peak on the continent and fly from the summit in a paraglider. The Peachland thrill-
seeker, who is known for his philanthropic exploits, will join 200 of the worlds best climbers, pilots and adventurers who are joining together in a project
called Wings of Kilimanjaro. “I’m very excited, but one of the things that (comes) into play is the fact that sometimes you
FOR RECYCLING YOUR MILK CARTONS
can’t control the results. Even if you’re a very accomplished high altitude climber, there are often times that, for whatever reason, your body just rejects being up there,” said Jennings-Bates. It’s been more than 15 years since Jennings-Bates has done much climbing, but prior to 1995 he frequently took on high elevations such as the Rocky Mountains and the Himilayas. Typically it takes about four days to get to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, but it will take the expert climbers and pilots a bit longer on this trip. “(Four days) is really too quick to get to 20,000 feet…the pilots need to acclimatize because we need to have our heads about us when we launch.” According to Jennings-Bates, the project idea was conceived by Australian entrepreneur Adrian McRae. McRae has been working with the Tanzanian government to orchestrate the first legal flight from the summit. Part of the agreement includes a program of poverty reduction in the host country of Tanzania; Wings of Kilimanjaro is expected to raise more than $1 million for charity partners Plant with Purpose and ONE Difference. This will mark the first time Jennings-Bates has attempted a challenge fundraiser to raise money for a charity other than his own: Rally4Life. The official climb will begin in the last few days of January, 2013. The summit flight will likely take place in the first week of February. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

e l t t i l a s â&#x20AC;&#x2122; e r e h T f o u l l s a ! n i r o i r r a W If the B.C. Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ rst ever Showcase weekend in Chilliwack is any indication, the 2012-13 edition of the West Kelowna Warriors looks to be new and improved and should challenge to get itself back into the BCHL playoffs. The Warriors won two games at the weekend event, a tournament-style showcase in front of college and NHL scouts, outscoring its opponents 12-1 behind some veteran scoring and solid goaltending, two things that were missing last season when the club ďŹ nished outside of the Interior Conference playoffs. Now in his second year, head ds coach and GM Rylan Ferster heads m with ith a d n pl rs b k fr m into the season with a veteran team dozen players back from last season, four newcomers with junior A experience and a handful of promising rookies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We really like our group,â&#x20AC;? said Ferster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our returning guys are solid character guys. We like our depth down the middle and we addressed our biggest need in goal. And I like our recruiting class.â&#x20AC;? In the off-season, the Warriors changed its name and logo, from Westside to West Kelowna, becoming further entrenched in the West Kelowna community. It also became public that the Warriors had acquired goalie Tyler Briggs from Lloydminster of the AJHL in a con deal that was consummated at the trade deadline last season, with Briggs staying with Lloydmister to ďŹ nish last season. The 19-year-old is considered a top ďŹ&#x201A;ight goalie after playing for Canada West at the last two World Junior A challenges. In his ďŹ rst two games with West Kelowna, he allowed just a single goal. Up front West Kelowna native Max French will look to end his junior hockey career on a positive note as he captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his hometown team while other veterans like Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brett McKinnon and Shawn Hochhausen give the Warriors a solid base while rookie Brent Lashuk of WinďŹ eld joins the team after a year with the Kelowna Chiefs. On defense veteran Josh Monk will lead the way with promising rookie Adam Plant of Penticton joining the team as well. g g to be our work ethic and we have good veteran leadership,â&#x20AC;? said Ferster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our cornerstone is going Have a look inside to meet the 2012-13 West Kelowna Warriors and be sure to check them out at Royal LePage Place all season long.

Wildfire doesn’t upset Ponderosa’s progress Kevin Parnell
‘‘
STAFF REPORTER
There will be little, if any, impact on the opening of the Okanagan’s newest destination golf course after this week’s Peachland fire burned through five holes under construction at the Ponderosa golf course. The under-construction Greg Norman signature course was well on track for a summer 2013 opening when the fire hit last Sunday, Sept. 9, and worked its way across holes eight through 13, along Pincushion Mountain near the Coquihalla Connector. Aside from some tree damage, the fire won’t affect plans for the course moving ahead. “There is definitely damage to those six holes,” said Ponderosa general manager Douglas Goubault. “There was a lot of ground cover that was damaged and some substantial tree damage. But there wasn’t as much damage as I expected.” At the time of the fire, only the first four holes on the course had been seeded and grass was gro-

wing. The other 14 holes, including the six that acted as a fire barrier, were rough-shaped and waiting for underground irrigation work to be completed before a layer of topsoil goes on top with seeding planned to commence in the spring. Goubault says there is plenty of damage to trees along the six holes that were affected but the actual design of the golf course was not damaged. “Because of the way the holes are cut, there are trees on the slopes between holes but there is certainly no impact on the design, more just on the esthetics,” he said. “It’s actually opened up the view in a few places.” The Greg Norman signature course replaces the

old Ponderosa course and also includes plans for some 2,000 homes with a show suite set to open this month. Goubault says early construction work on the course included a plan around wildfire management interfacing, meaning plenty of shrubs, debris and old trees were removed prior to the Peachland fire. “It’s kind of ironic,” said Goubault. “As we were clearing and building these benches for the holes to sit on we put a lot of recourses into getting the areas between the holes cleaned up to remove as much of a threat of wildfire as possible. So as much as the bench blocked the fire from moving up Pincushion Mountain the intensity of the fire was a lot less than it could have been.” Goubault also creditted the incredible work done by fire crews in battling the Peachland fire. In the end the new Ponderosa remains online for a summer 2013 opening. Rough work will continue for as long as possible with seeding of

Plans for the course are moving ahead on schedule despite the blaze. the remaining holes planned for the spring. “When done, the course will be fantastic,” said Goubault. Using bent grass for the greens and Kentucky bluegrass for the fairways and roughs, the course will play to 7,100 yards with a range of holes from a stunning 199-yard par 3, to a forest-lined, 653-yard par 5 next door. Wrapping up the experience for golfers will be the 532-yard 18th hole, situated on a ridge running parallel to and offering spectacular views of Okanagan Lake.

Hard-hitting Rush anchors secondary Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER
What do delivering bone-crushing hits on a football field and eating perogies have in common ? Jack Rush never grows weary of either one. In just a half season in the B.C. Football Conference, the Okanagan
Sun newcomer has developed a reputation as a search-and-destroy safety who revels in lowering the boom on opposing receivers and running backs. Off the field, the 20-year-old native of Niagara Falls lives steps away from Cecilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Perogies on Richter Street in Kelowna, a local eatery he
frequents on a daily basis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s amazing food, I just had four perogies and sausages,â&#x20AC;? said Rush. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I eat there pretty much every day and never get tired of it.â&#x20AC;? Whether or not his high daily intake of carbohydrates and protein is partly responsible for his ability to punish his op-
ponents, Sun coach Gavin Lake knows one thing for certainâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the 5-foot-11, 190-pound Rush has been a welcome addition to the defense. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brought an enforcer mentality into our secondary,â&#x20AC;? said Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Working with a bunch of young guys, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brought a swagger to the middle

Jackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got great vision, he really lays the wood, and other teams are getting to know that.â&#x20AC;? After playing the previous two seasons at Acadia University, Rush was uncertain of both his educational and football futures. At the urging of former Sun lineman and ex-Acadia teammate Travis Miller, Rush made the big trip west this summer along with Acadia teammates Terrance Mendes, Nico Sokolowski and Evan Petrie to get their first taste of Kelowna and the BCFC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a good talk with coach Lake, I hit it off with him and decided this was where I wanted to come,â&#x20AC;? said Rush. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m getting a chance to see a new part of the country and I just love it here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had the kind of start we wanted, but we have a young team and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to keep getting better.â&#x20AC;? While the Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 1-4 record hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been quite up to Rushâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or the Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standard, it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pre-

Rush said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather get the big hit than the pick because it creates energy, its sets the tone and gets your teammates pumped up.

SPORTS ▼ GOLF ROUNDUP
UBCO’s Woods honoured by PACWEST for tourney win Days after helping the UBC Okanagan women’s m golf team capture the team title in PACWEST tourna-ment play in Kamloops,, 5th year Kelowna studentt d Jen Woods was singled out for her stellar play. Woods was named thee PACWEST female ath-lete of the week after winning the women’s golf tournament at the Dunes Golf and Country Club in Kamloops. She entered the second day of the event trailing teammate Alana Kent by three strokes but fired a 78 to capture the event. Windy conditions made the course tough, but Woods was one of the only players to better her score from day one to two, after opening with an 81. Heat golf coach Mike Darnbrough said Woods showed her experience on day two and was able to battle the elements and shoot better on Sunday than she did on Saturday. “Jen Woods played very solid golf on day two after a tougher first day,” he said. “She settled right down and was able to handle the more difficult con-
onto a lead after day one and finished up fourth in the team event. Cody Bell (2nd year, Salmon Arm, BC) was the Heat’s top golfer at four shots off the pace with a two-day 143. Day two’s windy conditions affected a few of the UBC Okanagan men’s team with three of the five golfing in Kamloops adding five to seven strokes from Saturday to Sunday. “Day 1 we had three very good scores a pretty ditions on day two very well. Her focused approach certainly paid off.” It was Woods seventh career win and first of the season. In her five years on the team Woods has captured seven of 17 tournaments played in and won two national tournament all-stars. These accomplishments are even more impressive due to the fact that in Jen’s freshman season on the PACWEST (formerly the BCCAA) golf league she was the only female golfer and competed directly with her male counterparts. Meanwhile the men’s team was unable to hold

Bradley carded 78, 77, 74 and 75 to finish 26th in the mid-amateur championship out of over 150 golfers who started the event. His 16 over par total was also good enough for 10th spot in the mid-master division of the Canadian championships.

KIJHL Chiefs have fresh look on-ice and behind the bench Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Four out of their top five scorers are gone, there is a new look behind the bench and expectations may be higher after a trip to the league final last season. Such is life as the Kelowna Chiefs kick off their third season of operation in
the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League this weekend, opening the season tonight in Summerland before hosting its home opener against Fernie at Rutland Arena on Saturday night. Gone is league MVP Dane Rupert and fellow top scorer Landon Andrusiak who both played their 20-year-old
seasons last year. T.J Dumonceaux (Vernon) and Brent Lashuk (West Kelowna) have moved up to junior A, leaving veteran blueliner Braeden Hikichi as the highest returning scorer after his 42 point season last year. Hikichi is one of 10 returning players on the Chiefs roster. “We might not be
super-fantastic but we have 10 guys that have been there and done that and know what it takes,” said head coach Ken Andrusiak. “It makes a big difference when you have that many guys that you don’t have to re-train.” Hikichi leads what looks to be the strength of the team: Defense.

Along with Hikichi, three other 20-year-olds will bring the veteran presence. Kyle Clerke, Scott Renner and P.J. Lawler will finish out their junior eligibility with the Chiefs this season. Along with changes in the player personnel department, things will also look a little different behind the Chiefs bench this season. Landon Andrusiak has joined the team’s coaching staff as an assistant coach along with Matt Dyck while Grant Sheridan has become the team’s full time gener-
al manager and will focus more on off-ice matters, leaving the benchwork to the father-son Andrusiak team as well as Dyck. The Chiefs will play a 52 game schedule in the KIJHL’s Okanagan-Shuswap Conference along with teams in Osoyoos, Princeton, Penticton and Summerland. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Warriors sweep opponents, then clean up their town The West Kelowna Warriors hit the ice last weekend opening up their season with a couple of wins. Then the team followed that by opening the season of community events this week, teaming up with the District of West Kelowna and Stutters Disaster Kleenup to make West Kelowna a cleaner place. The entire Warriors team spent Tuesday morning in five major areas of Westbank and West Kelowna cleaning the streets and ditches of debris that piled up over the summer. “It’s important for us to always be out in the community,” said West Kelowna resident and team captain Max French. “Since I’ve been here our entire team has enjoyed giving back to the com-
munity in any way possible. This is one where you can really see the impact we’ve made. I think it’s good for our fans and community to see that we care about more than just hockey.” The players were separated into five different Stutters pick-ups and by the end of the day had managed to fill the trucks with large garbage bags. “I think our players really understand what it means to give back to the community,” said Warriors director of business operations Andrew Deans. “Just recently chatting with the players I’ve found many of them are doing things outside of our normal busy hockey/community pace. One of our players drops in every Tuesday to the Boys & Girls Club just to spend time with some
lucky kids. So today is just an extension of that. To show we do care about where we live, we care as a team.” Deans added the Warriors will be busy the next month starting school visits and the whole team will be participating in the Maxine Dehart DriveThru Breakfast.

is getting a facelift” The energy in the air is palpable as this muchneeded project begins. The revitalization has been underway on our block of Bernard (between Richter and Ellis) for just over a week now, and I have to say that I’m very impressed with how the city has bent over backwards to make things work for the downtown businesses. In an unprecedented move, the city created a dedicated business liaison position now being filled by Kelly Kay for the duration of the work. Kay will act as the contact person for all downtown stakeholders throughout the construction. If folks have any problems or questions, Kelly Kay is the go-to person. She’s so capable and upbeat, you just know
WHAT’S UP DOWNTOWN
Jan Johnson she’ll be able to take care of anything. There’s even a web site for people who want to follow or get info updates on the project, and you can subscribe for updates if you like. Just go to www.kelowna.ca/cityprojects. The city has also gone to great pains to create an amazing scrim covering—plastic sheeting which covers the construction fencing. The scrim is bursting with wonderful photos of different downtown personalities, and drawings of how the final version of Bernard will look. There are peepholes all along the scrim, so that curious eyes can have a peek at the construction action. The other day, I saw some wide-eyed kids
checking out the big trucks through the peepholes as if it were the best show ever. I’m also very impressed with the businesses downtown handling the revitalization with creativity and optimism. Many of the Bernard Avenue stores and restaurants have created attractive back doors, so customers can now park behind their businesses and enter from the back. The great news is that the parking meters on most off-Bernard streets are a steal, at a loonie for two hours. That’s probably the best deal for downtown parking anywhere in Canada. Something to keep in mind is that the stores and sidewalks along Bernard are still open—it’s only the street that is closed. It’s amazing how easy it still is to get to your favourite Bernard stores. The Downtown Kelowna Association has also been a huge asset through the whole process of planning and beginning the construction work. Flushed with the suc-
cess of the wildly popular Block Party in August, the DKA is acting as advocates for the downtown businesses and planning events to help keep the downtown active during the renos. In fact, the association is running a Construction Contest right now which could win you $500 to spend downtown. For more info on the contest, go to www. downtownkelowna.com and click on Construction Contest link. Also impressive are our fabulous downtown customers. I’ve heard many pledge to stand by the stores downtown as we make it through the facelift together. A few customers have even told me that they’ve pledged to do the majority of their shopping downtown for the next year, in order to support the businesses. What a great attitude. By next summer, you’ll probably barely recognize downtown. With a large part of the renos done and the new marina being built at
the foot of Queensway, Bernard Avenue will be a thing of pure beauty. So don’t be a stranger while the renewal is happening. Make a point of coming downtown to check out the progress and frequent your favourite local businesses. One final note: If you’re a quilter or quiltlover, you won’t want to miss the Orchard Valley Quilters Guild 30th anniversary Quilt Show, titled — Flirty Thirties, on Sept. 21, 22 and 23. The main show will be held at the Laurel Packinghouse and the RCA, with demos, display quilts and a silent auction. Various downtown shops will also be displaying quilts in their windows from Sept. 18 to 25, so it will be a great time to get out and explore shop windows as well.

NHL owners can’t afford to miss an entire season O
K, hockey fans, relax. Hockey guru Chuck assures you that despite all the threats and carrying on by members of the media, NHL team owners, and the National Hockey League Players’ Association, there will be a hockey season this year. The supposed deadline of this Saturday to avoid another pro hockey strike may come and go, but the season will not. The reason is simple —the owners simply cannot afford to lose another year while a large number of the players can either take a season off and live off the fat of their past year’s salaries or find employment overseas. While the threat and remaining hangover of the strike that nearly crippled the league seven years ago is still in the minds of many fans—a couple of key factors have changed since then. Foremost, despite the comments of some team owners, the NHL Players Association took a significant kick during the last strike and dealt in good faith with the owners last time round—but they will not do the same this time. In fact, while many fans were angry at the players’ stand last strike, most now appreciate that this year’s head-butting fdisplay is largely the fault of the owners. The NHLPA is not about to roll over this time. Even more significant is the fact that many of the elite players, especially those of European background, have a much more solid option plan in playing pro hockey elsewhere. Contracts and structure offered by the Kontinental Hockey League, and other pro leagues around the world, are much more tempting and alluring than they were seven years ago. Already, some superstars such as Alexander Ovechkin are talking about taking their hockey sticks and going home. NHL team owners
HODGE PODGE
Charlie Hodge cannot afford to allow that shift of players to take place again and expect the stars to return in half a year or year from now. If the league is foolish enough to proceed with another lockout it may be the beginning of the end of several current NHL clubs—and rightfully so. ••• If the NHL is on strike Saturday, Nov. 17, there will be something else to do to occupy your hockey-free time. That is the night that Curtis Tulman and I will play host to the eighth annual Night of the Arts fundraiser/concert at the Kelowna Community Theatre. We are thrilled to announce that headliners for that evening’s show will be the reunited roots/ country/rock band The Cruzeros. Also scheduled to take to the stage are Corey Doak, Ten2Nine, and the Deb Stone Band—with another two acts to be named next week. Benefactors again this year for the Night of the Arts is Metro Communities of Kelowna. Metro is a faith-based organization that effectively ministers to Kelowna’s street community and provides a shelter in the proverbial storm of life. As I have stated in the past, when it comes to assisting those in need— Metro truly is a candle in the night. ••• Speaking of great causes and a fun time, I am going to be a judge at Saturday’s Raise the Roof BBQ Challenge at The Delta Grand. Amazing chef Stuart Klassen and seven other top quality chefs will grab their spatulas and square off for this fun fundraising

Be prepared to laugh a lot as well because I am sharing a spot in the judging area with local columnist and humorist Lori Welbourne. This promises to be almost too much fun.

Last year, Carol Fazekas was walking the halls of Parkinson Recreation Centre, looking for an organization to volunteer with. A lot has changed in the last 365 days. This past Saturday, she was once again at the Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair, the 15th annual. But this time, she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking to volunteer, she was the one informing potential volunteers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m specifically asking them: What are they looking for? What are their skills? What do they hope to get out of a volunteer opportunity?â&#x20AC;? said Fazekas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The types of questions Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m asking them were the types of things I was seeking last year.â&#x20AC;? Before the 2011 volunteer fair, Fazekas said she had no idea who she wanted to lend her skills to.

those were the groups I considered.â&#x20AC;? A year later, Fazekas is president of the Central Okanagan Chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving Canada and volunteers with Emergency Support Services. Many of the organiza-
tions present at Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event were happy with the turnout. Cyndy Omand is a volunteer with the Kelowna branch of the BC SPCA. She said volunteering is not only fulfilling, but essential to make a strong
community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving back to your communityâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how great communities are built,â&#x20AC;? said Omand. In many areas, such as dog walking, the Kelowna SPCA is fortunate to have long lists of volunteers. But according to Omand, there is a shortage of volunteers for other areas such as administrative work. Sarah MacKinnon was in charge of the Okanagan Boys and Girls Clubs booth Saturday. She said volunteerism is what makes the club function. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our services donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t succeed very well without volunteers; some of our programs are almost entirely volunteer based,â&#x20AC;? said MacKinnon. She said she does her best to find suitable jobs for all potential volunteers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always tell people, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Just tell me what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re interested in and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a place for you.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

tips for busy school parents
I
tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back to school week and along with the return to routine often comes a renewed busy-ness for families. Kids are back and forth from school every day, activities are starting up again and work and other commitments seem to ramp back up too as we all shift out of the more relaxed summer HEALING schedule. MINDS With all of this change, it is not uncommon to hear people complain about a lack of balance in their lives or feeling overwhelmed keeping up with it all. Paul A certain amount of this Latimer is to be expected given the season, but these sentiments are likely magnified by the way our lives are structured today. A majority of families now function with both parents working at least part time and need to juggle the activities of children with two careers and still keep a household running. Maintaining balance can be a daunting taskâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;here are a few tips to help make it a little easier. First, recognize that pursuing a career and caring for dependent loved ones are both demanding roles. If you are balancing between the two, something will have to give. Although it is possible for us to do a bit of everything, we simply cannot be all things to all people all the time. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just reality. Giving in to feelings of guilt for your inability to be in two places at once will not help anyone. In fact, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s harmful to your own health and likely to your ability to successfully balance your responsibilities. When you come up against conflicting prioritiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; perhaps an important work meeting takes place at the same time as a special event in your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you will have to choose one or the other. If you later regret your decision, try to choose differently next time. If you are pursuing a career even part time, invest in it when you can. Continue to develop your skills, improve your knowledge and network where possible. This way you will be prepared if and when you decide to work full time. If you have a partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;negotiate roles and responsibilities to do with family and household. Generally, it works well to divide tasks based on what each person is best at or prefers and then divide or take turns on the things neither of you particularly enjoy. It is OK to enlist the help of your childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it is healthy for them to assist with jobs around the house according to their age and ability. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re feeling swamped and you can afford to get paid helpâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;get it. There isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any virtue in trying to be a super human. Ask yourself what things you really need to do for yourself and what areas you could use some help with. On a similar note, try to set realistic standards for yourself. Perfectionism should not be your goal in all areasâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;an uninvolved or exhausted parent is worse for a child than a messy house, the occasional fast food meal or store bought baking. Be as organized as possible, do what you can, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t waste time obsessing about the rest. Be realistic about what you can take on. If you are barely keeping it together with work and activities, it probably isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the best time to take on an added responsibility or volunteer job. Above allâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;do what you love whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working, raising children, continuing your education or some combination. Your surest route to happiness is to put your time and energy toward things you find rewarding and fulfilling.

ENTERTAINMENT Perfect ‘trifecta’ of arts jobs keeps musician in Kelowna Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Have you ever felt a yen to learn the double bass? The stately string might not be a first choice for a musical novice wading into orchestral instruments, but if one could try producing its deep, soulful notes without commitment to buy, it might make the pursuit more feasible. This year, Kelowna Community Music School is offering a basic introduction to double bass with the opportunity to try out an instrument at the school under the guidance of one of their two new teachers. “Owning an instrument is a big barrier for people. So we’re offering this to let people try it out,” said Meagan Williams, a professional musician who joined the school this year after five years with the Okanagan Symphony Orchestra. Williams plays an interesting role in Kelow-
na’s cultural scene—pun intended. After striking up with the symphony years back, a colleague recently pointed out an administrative position had opened up with Ballet Kelowna. The job offered the possibility of a permanent move from Vancouver to Kelowna and, as teaching at the community music school seemed naturally to follow, she had soon secured the trifecta of arts jobs. When she first stepped out on the Kelowna Community Theatre stage, this wasn’t an obvious outcome. “As a freelance musician living in Canada, you often have to travel in order to find work and when I landed in Vancouver I looked for all the opportunities in B.C.,” she said. “The Okanagan Symphony was the first to respond.” The 51-year-old symphony proved a natural fit and traveling miles to pursue music was already part of her gameplan.

Williams earned her first degree at the Toronto Royal Conservatory School of Music and went on to earn the German equivalent of a mas-

ter’s degree at the University of the Arts in Berlin. She played in Europe for three years, then joined an orchestra in Japan for two seasons before returning
Okanagan that will allow her to exercise the full range of skills she’s built. “It’s a tightly knit cultural community in Kelowna,” she said. “A lot
of them (instructors at the Kelowna Community Music School) perform with the Okanagan Symphony, which is something that you don’t see all the time.” Williams has been named acting principal bass this season with the symphony and said she hopes her students and prospective young talent will follow in her footsteps in the Okanagan Symphony Youth Orchestra program, which offers performance opportunities. In the meantime, she will be teaching at the music school one day a week along with Stephanie Nakagawa, a soprano who grew up in Salmon Arm. Nakagawa studied at UBC and went on to a doctoral program at Indiana University. Kelowna Community Music School can be contacted at 250-860-1737 to register for the classes.

They’ve been awarded as the best troupe of multitasking actors and for Many Hats Theatre Company’s upcoming production in Penticton that holds true. Ed Schneider acts, helps get the sets ready and takes care of publicity. For their latest production, Storm Warning, he is donning his director hat. Storm Warning is set in the turbulent years after the Second World War when much of the world was still reeling. It is the story of Jack (played by
Eric Hanston), a shellshocked veteran. Emma (played by Shannon French) is a bubbly jazz arranger who is thrown together with Jack by an accident of fate one weekend—a weekend that will change their lives forever. “They are just brilliant and work together so well. They make a really great couple and they have transported themselves back to 1953 with the help of the costumers and make up artists and it is very believable,” said Schneider.

hurts and hopes of both Jack and Emma. Over the course of three days in a September weekend in 1953, Jack and Emma allow the audience into their souls to see how external events affected each of them. “Norm Foster writes these plays with real people in them and tells great stories. It is a romantic comedy, with some extremely funny bits that aren’t meant for the children. The inevitable happens, without telling you the whole story, but they each have their own scars,” said Schneider. “The title Storm Warning
comes from the fact there are storms in everyone’s life but how you weather them, how you deal with them, is part of it.” Schneider complimented the work of Sean Kimberley, a Penticton architect, who designed the set. The director added the hands that constructed it did a great job creating two long log cabins. With the help of Sue Gibbs the decorations, right down to a Coleman cooler and milk bottles from the 1950s, has really set the atmosphere. Storm Warning

Music antidote to mini ‘idols’ The Gords—Gord Maxwell, Gord Matthews and Gordon Lee Worden are an adult contemporary folk-based vocal trio made up of veteran sidemen/session musicians. All three Gords are gifted singer/songwriters who, with their talents combined, offer a truly remarkable rich sound. They combine a natural vocal harmony with two standout guitar players and a driving bass player to create songs designed to remind listeners that it is still
possible to find a musical alternative to dance remixes, samples and “idols.” Their song Old Dreams Die Hard, from their CD Pick, was No. 1 for 10 weeks on the Roots Music Report Top Country Internet Airplay chart. All three Gords, along with their producer Tom McKillip, are alumni of the legendary Ian Tyson’s bands and performed on many of his albums. The Gords perform at The Kelowna Community Theatre on Sept. 17.
opened on Sept. 6 with a gala reception and runs until Sept. 29. Shows are Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. All shows are at the Cannery Stage in the Cannery Trade Centre on Fairview Road in Penticton. “We still have one more show to do this year and we have just been blown away by the response from our very loyal fans,” said Schneider.

Be responsible behind the wheel
The wine drinking began before we left Newark, N.J., with a clink and a â&#x20AC;&#x153;saludâ&#x20AC;? in the airport lounge over some unidentified white. My father and I, belatedly fulfilling the college graduation gift he had promised me 11 years earlier, were embarking on a 10-day journey across Sicily, land of our ancestorsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;specifically, of my dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great-grandfather, a merchant ship captain who lived on the Aeolian island of Lipari before sailing to Peru to found a winery. It was fitting, then, that in addition to ancient ruins, medieval churches and spectacular Mediterranean views, ours was a trip overflowing with wine. We are no experts, but we drank our way across the almost 10,000-square-mile islandâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;lucky for our livers that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no biggerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; sampling the indigenous varietals, many grown in the volcanic soil of fuming Mount Etna. Those varietals set rustic Sicilian wines apart from their more polished northern Italian neighbours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Tuscany is suits and ties, Sicily is wife-beaters (T-shirts),â&#x20AC;? is how Jason Wagner, wine director at hospitality group Element Collective, described the different wine personalities, though, he said, over the last few decades the ancient Sicilian viticulture has become more diverse. For example, Sicily is home to a rock star of the biodynamic wine movement, Arianna Occhipinti (agricolaocchipinti.it), who produces certified organic wines in the southern Vittoria region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re starting to have a new identity,â&#x20AC;? said Wagner, who offers many Sicilian wines at the Element-owned restaurant Nellcote in Chicago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It used to be that they were big, clunky, hard-to-drink reds, and now theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a reputation for making more delicate, thoughtful wines.â&#x20AC;? That, at least, is an
j
American sommelierâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perspective. In Sicily, ask a waiter for a recommendation, which is how we made most of our wine decisions, and usually a hearty red arrives. That was perfectly fine with this duo. After a morning spent walking amid ancient Greek temples in former colonies, we were sitting on the outside patio at Trattoria Il Pescatore (www.trattoriailpescatore. it), a seaside restaurant in Agrigento on the southwestern coast, eating a grilled cuttlefish the size of a grown manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hand, when my father grunted admiringly at the Duca di Salaparuta Passo delle Mule ($25, duca.it) in his glass, a dense red made of the popular nero dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Avola grape. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This,â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;is a manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wine.â&#x20AC;? My dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taste for weighty wines meant we had a lot of nero dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Avola, a juicy, earthy grape, heavy on dark fruits. One of the best was Duca Enrico ($55), also from Duca di Salaparuta, a large winery behind the budgetfriendly Corvo line. We drank it near Palermo, the Sicilian capital, while dining on grilled ricciola (fresh-caught amberjack) at Da Peppino restaurant in the seaside suburb of Mondello. Duca Enrico, first produced in 1984, was the first single-varietal wine to be produced from nero dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Avola grapes. Another nero standout was the Rosso del Conte ($62) from the Tasca dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Almerita winery (tasca dalmerita.it/en). We drank the spicy, bright red wine seaside (this is a pattern) at the Lungo la Notte Cafe on the picturesque Ortygia island in Siracusa, sophisticated home to the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best Greek theater. In thematic harmony with our wine-soaked adventure, the play we happened to see there that night was â&#x20AC;&#x153;Le Baccantiâ&#x20AC;? by Euripides, starring good-time god Dionysus. Sicily also counts

lighter red grapes among its indigenous varietals. Light, friendly frappato is a low-tannin, highacid grape that Wagner compares to gamay, the primary grape of Beaujolais. Nerello mascalese and nerello cappuccio are an “aromatically dynamic” pair often blended together to evoke decomposing earth, red leaves and black tea, Wagner said, comparing them to nebbiolo, the grape used in Barbaresco. One of the last wines we drank in Sicily was a grand blend of almost all: Firriato Quater Rosso ($32, firriato.it), made in the Trapani province on the western coast, was a full-bodied combination of nero d’Avola, frappato, nerello cappuccio and perricone, another robust indigenous red grape. We were in sleepy Lipari, on a fruitless search for my great-great-grandfather’s house, and found ourselves in the airy, leafy terrace of Ristorante Filippino (filippino.it), where the supremely attentive servers brought to the table a
choice of no fewer than four bottles of olive oil. I had the best pasta I’ve ever eaten: tubular noodles with mozzarella, tomato, eggplant and grated baked ricotta. The wine was a welcome exclamation point. Though not as famous as the reds, Sicily has indigenous white wines, too often more tropical-tasting than their northern Italian peers because of the hotter climate. Inzolia, catarratto and grillo, grapes often used in the sweet Marsala wines that Sicily is famous for, also produce table whites, as does the popular grecanico. In the Moorish town of Mazara del Vallo, where we were staying after a long day of sightseeing along the western coast, including a memorable stroll through the medieval walled town of Erice, perched high on a mountain with views of Tunisia, we enjoyed a bottle of Kheire ($52), a grillo from the nearby Gorghi Tondi winery. It was full, soft and citrusy, a fine complement to a typical regional dish of trout over couscous.
Another good white was the refreshing Baccante ($48), a grillo-chardonnay combo from the winery Abbazia Santa Anastasia (abbaziasantanastasia.it), a wine we drank at the Michelinstarred La Capinera (ristorante lacapinera.com) in the tourist resort town of Taormina—on the seafront terrace, of course. Maybe everything tastes good amid the worn, soulful beauty
of Sicily, with the deep blue of the Mediterranean on one side and rolling pastoral hills on the other. Sicily’s legacy of being invaded by pretty much everyone—Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Normans, Arabs, Bourbons—left layers of cultural complexity that enriched the food and drink as much as the architecture and people (dark hair, olive skin and light green or blue eyes is a typical
Sicilian look). It felt like home, my dad and I agreed as we debriefed on the plane ride home over some Italian red. Clink. “Salute.” (All wine prices reflect what we paid for a bottle at the restaurants.)
TRY THESE Sicily produces a tremendous amount of wine, but it doesn’t have a big presence in the U.S. “It’s slowly, stead-
ily growing,” said Dan Skoda, wine consultant at Binny’s in Chicago, as he went over the approximately two dozen Sicilian brands at the store. The bottles, ranging from $7.99 to $59.99, come mostly from such large, internationally respected Sicilian wineries as Planeta, Cusumano and Colosi, though some of the small artisanal producers, such as Tenuta delle Terre, are making the
most interesting wines. Many are good values, Skoda said. Here are three to try: Colosi Nero d’Avola, $13.99; Planeta La Segreta, $12.99 (blend of grecanico, chardonnay, viognier and fiano); Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso, $14.99 (blend of nerello mascalese and nerello cappuccio).

More passengers continue to fly to the Okanagan Passenger numbers at Kelowna International Airport (YLW) keep flying higher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are very pleased to see the continued growth in our passenger numbers,â&#x20AC;? said airport marketing and media relations coordinator Jenelle Hynes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have seen seven of the last eight months in 2012 be record breaking months, and this summer ended with almost 15,000 more passengers than last summer.â&#x20AC;? Passenger numbers released this week show 972,663 passengers flew in and out of YLW between January and August, 3.98 per cent (or 37, 274 passengers) ahead of the same period in 2011. August was the busiest month in the airportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history with 136,101 passengers, an increase of 5.8 per cent over last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With this growth, we reached our one millionth passenger mark in the first week in September this year, which is weeks ahead of the past few years,â&#x20AC;? said Hynes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was only seven years ago that YLW first reached one-million passengers in a single year, in December 2005.â&#x20AC;? The steady increase in passenger growth at YLW is expected to continue as the winter flight schedule begins shortly with non-stop service to sunny destinations such as Phoenix, Las Vegas, and Los Cabos, Puerto Vallerta and
Cancun. Saturday seasonal service on WestJet to Los Angeles (LAX) begins Nov. 3 and daily year-round service from LAX on YLWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest carrier United Airlines starting Dec. 19, with an additional Saturday United flight also added between January and April.
PARKING ON BERNARD Revitalization of Bernard Avenue is now underway, but downtown businesses impacted by the construction project remain open. While Bernard is closed to vehicles between Richter and Ellis including the Ellis intersection, the rest of Bernard is still open to motorists, pedestrians and for parking. Access to businesses, walkways and sidewalks is a priority. Pedestrian crossings at St. Paul and Bertram streets are permitted when safe and traffic personnel are present to assist. During construction, commuters are encouraged to consider transportation options such as planning your commute, carpooling and taking transit to alleviate heavy traffic flow in construction areas.

Food bank looking for help from annual Thanksgiving food drive Inventory is at a critical low at the food bank putting many families at greater risk of hunger this fall, says the operations manager for the Kelowna Community Food Bank. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Unfortunately food donations have not kept pace with rising demand,â&#x20AC;? said Rob Weller. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are either completely out of or critically low on seven normal hamper items. We are substituting staples with other items, but substitutes are not always as nutritious or healthy.â&#x20AC;?
The food bank needs dry soup, canned fruit, canned vegetables, canned soup, pasta, side dishes, toilet paper and Boost meal replacement. Weller is looking forward to the second annual B.C. Thanksgiving Day Food Drive this Saturday to help provide some relief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need the community to help us fill our empty shelves,â&#x20AC;? he said. Weller says that food drive organizers have been delivering donation bags to residents this week.
Those who receive a bag and wish to donate should fill it with non-perishable food items and leave it on their front step before 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 15. The bags will be picked up that day and delivered to the Kelowna food bank. The food bank is open for food donations Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., at 1265 Ellis St. Monetary donations can also be made securely online at www.KelownaFoodBank.com or

Golfers play 100 holes; raise $74,000 for brain injury education The Pihl Law Corporation Golf Marathon held Sept. 7 at The Bear course raised $74,000 in support of BrainTrust Canada and brain injury education and prevention. Most golfers exceeded 100 holes played within the 12-hour marathon, with the most holes played being 120. The day began for the participating golfers at 6 a.m. with breakfast, followed by tee off at 7 a.m. Activities held during the day included the “ICBC Oasis,” where they could take a water break and dip their feet into the kiddy pool, the “BDO Frozen Hole” where frozen fruit treats were served, “Viewpoint Margaritaville” where they could quench their thirst, and Lifemark Photo Station and Connects Wireless “Sonim Toss.” There was a barbecue lunch courtesy of M&M Meats (Harvey Avenue) and Karen Guy, of Coldwell Banker/Horizon Realty, with weather forecaster Mike Roberts from Global on hand to flip burgers, muffins from the Bread Co., coffee from Tim Hortons, and samples from Tree Brewing and Summerhill Winery. There was also a lemonade stand set up in memory of BrainTrust Canada Maribeth Friesen’s father Bert Knowler, who as a young boy ran a lemonade stand on the 13th tee of the Victoria Golf Club in Edmonton, Alta. The day ended with a dinner at the golf course with MC Chanine Carr from EZ Rock officiating. The top four fundraising golfers were Brad Dahl, Sean Pihl, Michael McCarthy and Tyler Amell. Each received prizes that included gold Haida jewelry from Jerry Hlady; a Sooke getaway with accommodations at the Prestige Inn Oceanfront Resort and golf at Bear Mountain Resort; a winery tour courtesy of Distinctly Kelowna Tours and wine courtesy of Summerhill Pyramid Winery and a framed print of four golf courses courtesy of Mal Gagnon. The grand prize, won by Michael McCarthy in a random draw, was a Vancouver Island getaway to play Golf BC courses Olympic View and Arbutus Ridge, with accommodations at the Fairmont Empress Hotel and car rental courtesy of Valley Mitsubishi. “The Pihl Law Cor-
poration Golf Marathon is our largest fundraising event, and we are unique in that it is a full day of golf,” said Magda Kapp,
director of communications for BrainTrust Canada. “While there were no hole in one prizes award-
ed, it was a perfect day and we are so thankful to our golfers, media sponsors, prize donors, volunteers and the wonderful
staff at the Okanagan Golf Club who all came together to make the event a success and raise $74,000 for brain injury education and
prevention. This is crucial, as 90 per cent of brain injuries are preventable, and youth are at highest risk— prevention truly is the best

ANNIVERSARY $ PRICE
CONTRIBUTED
ANCHORAGE, AK: Sometimes the wait is worth it. Available in Europe since 2009, the 2013 Cayenne marks the first time Porsche has offered a diesel in North America. Cayenne is not only the most affordable Porsche you can buy but also its best seller with the diesel adding to the Cayenne, Cayenne S, Cayenne S Hybrid and Cayenne Turbo lineup. Pricing for the 2013 Cayenne Diesel starts at $64,500. Power is a 3.0-litre turbo diesel rated at 240 hp and 406 lb/ft of torque that comes in as low as 1,750 rpm with a fuel consumption rating of 10.8/6.7/9.0L/100 km city/highway/combined and a top speed of 218
km/h. This is one speedy diesel with a 0-100 km/h time of 7.8 seconds and 0-160 km/h in 20.2 seconds. Porsche says the diesel is 30 per cent more fuel efficient than a gasoline engine of similar displacement. With a diesel of this size and power, nitrous oxide emissions are an issue. Porsche uses selective catalytic reduction (SRC) using a urea fluid with the marketing name of AdBlue that is dumped into the exhaust system to break down NOx. AdBlue is stored in a 5.5-gallon tank in the place below the cargo floor where the spare tire normally sits. It is shaped so a temporary spare fits over top of it. Fluid needs to be filled up

MOTORING â&#x2013;ź FIRST DRIVE
Enough toggles and touch switches to fly a private jet two seconds. A mechanical safeguard in the fuel tank filler neck ensures that the locking mechanism can only be opened by the larger diameter diesel fuel pump nozzle and that refueling will only begin at that point. The Cayenne Diesel is equipped with an eightspeed Tiptronic S trans-
Porsche from B1 every 15-16,000 km by a dealer. The engine uses highpressure direct injections that can adjust the amount of spray pulses depending on load several times during the compression stroke. Starting is by glow plugs that go from cold to 1,800 Fahrenheit in just
mission, without the auto start stop function available on other Cayenne variants. As with the Cayenne S Hybrid, the Cayenne Diesel includes Porsche Traction Management (PTM), which features permanent all-wheel drive and a mechanically locking rear differential. Because of this, the
torque vectoring system is not available on the Diesel. Visually there isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much to tell it from another Cayenne except for small â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dieselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; badges found on the left and right front fenders. Detail changes on the Diesel along with all Cayennes for 2013 include door locking and un-

locking buttons near the front door handles as well as a new analog clock mounted on the top centre of the instrument panel. The clock can be replaced with a compass that is a standalone option. In time-honoured Porsche tradition, the ignition key goes in a slot on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel. And in keeping with tradition, all the driving information you ever need is in the five main, circular gauges with the tach the largest and dead centre. But then comes the transmission tunnel with about as many toggle and touch switches as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d find on a private jetâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but then againâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that might be the inspiration. With another double bank of touch switches on the roof there is plenty to play with if you have the time to look up or down from the road ahead to comprehend them all. The most important of these switches are located aft of the shift lever and allow the driver to change ride height, suspension stiffness (Comfort/Normal/Sport) and AWD/ FWD/locked drive mode. Supplementing these are the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mode for spirited drivers, hill descent control and the traction/stability control on/ off function. To gain access to a small gravel-bottom park beside a huge lake south of Anchorage for photos, it was necessary to extend the body up to its highest setting. This had to be done to traverse a deeply eroded earthen road so as not to damage the transfer case. With one, sometimes

LIKE MOST other Porsches today, there are a bevy of touch switches to control a variety of functions. two, wheels up to the halfshafts, the torque splitting transferred the grunt to where it was needed to hump up and over to the park. On the other side of the coin, the body automatically lowers itself a tad at highway speeds for more straight- line stability. Seats in the Cayenne remain one of the best features being wider and longer that you might expect but nicely side bolstered so that you sort of slide into it like a ball into a baseball glove. Ride in Normal, which we used 90 per cent of the time, felt firmer than the Audi Q5 I drove earlier this year with the
steering a slight bit heavier then the Audi, but the Audi felt better to me in the regard. The highways my codriver and I covered in Alaska seemed to be almost new but there was lot of repaving going on. The result is very little road or wind noise got into the cabin. With the standard audio system, reception was spotty as you might expect but the quality of the sound was great. I really liked the temporary spare that fits over the AdBlue tank. Painted construction orange with speed limit warning stickers attached, it makes any-

Porsche’s diesel more fuel efficient than similar- W sized gas engine Porsche from B4 one aware that the spare is just that—temporary. There seems to be no segment that attracts more interest and more new models then luxury CUV/ SUVs. The price of the Cayenne is right in there and, of course, it carries the magic Porsche shield on the hood. But, more than that, it now offers a super efficient diesel engine with the capability of covering 1,000 km on one tank. Porsche’s only problem now is trying to meet demand.

MOTORING ▼ ROAD TEST
MINI gets the (John Cooper) Works Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR
“It’s Mr. Bean’s car!” said my seven-year-old daughter as I pulled into our driveway. Hmmph! The Italian Job, maybe, as my latest tester was the chic, newgeneration MINI—and the potent John Cooper Works version at that. Sure, the JCW model wasn’t yet available for the remake of this classic film that debuted in 2003, but my point is that it’s a serious performer, crafted by BMW, not the quirky tin box made by British Motor Corporation (BMC). My MINI came with a turbocharged 1.6-litre engine, gorgeous black 17-inch alloy wheels over a set of big, red Brembo brakes, load of chrome bits, and in back, a roofmounted spoiler presiding over wide-bore dual exhausts. Mr. Bean’s little ‘76 Mini 1000 Mk III was powered by a 998 cc engine that coughed out a paltry 38 hp, and rolled on wheels that were barely bigger than Frisbees. As for bling, it did come with a door-mounted bolt-latch and padlock… Indeed, the MINI has come a long way, thanks to the designers at BMW who have preserved not only the look, but the spirit of the original, and without being saddled with its
flaws—which were legion. When BMW bought Rover Group in 1994 it included the Mini. In 2000, BMW brought out the allnew MINI as a separate division and that included the Cooper and Cooper S, playing on the name of the Cooper family who built stunningly fast Minis between the 1960-1990s at their “works” or factory in England. Once production was underway, a new model debuted called the John Cooper Works as the top trim level with a bevy of go-faster extras. Today there is an evergrowing list of vehicles that bear the MINI name, including a coupe, convertible, roadster, longer-wheelbase Clubman (and commercially-fitted ‘Clubvan’), an even larger Countryman CUV, and a number of special editions. Not all have a JCW variant, but most do, and the enhancements are significant. First the powerplant. In the least-expensive MINI, the Cooper Classic hatchback (MSRP $21,950), its 1.6-litre DOHC four cylinder engine makes 121 hp and 114 lb/ft of torque, taking this 1,150kg vehicle from rest to 100 km/h in 9.0 seconds with the six-speed manual, and 10.3 seconds with the six-speed auto.
CONTRIBUTED
THE MINI JCW HATCH makes a bold first impression with its hexagonal mesh grille, lowered front fascia and distinctive air inlets below the front grille for cooling the brakes. The big, red Brembos peeking out from the car’s 17-inch alloy wheels attest to its performance intentions. Same for the $23,950 Cooper model. Step up to the Cooper S ($28,950), and the 1.6-litre engine gets a turbocharger, bumping horsepower to 181 and torque to 177 lb/ft. Acceleration improves to 7.0/7.2 seconds (manual/ auto). Topping the range is the JCW, starting at $36,900. It also gets a twin-scroll turbocharger, this time allowing its 1.6-litre mill to pump out 208 horses and 192 lb/ft of torque that can jump to 207 lb/ft for short bursts with ‘overboost’ when you really plant the pedal. Mated to a specially modified six-speed manual, the only gearbox available, the JCW will leap from zero to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. And there’s

WITH ITS SPORTY ROOF SPOILER and large centre-mounted exhaust outlet, the John Cooper Works MINI looks like it means business.
MINI JCW a joy to look at and drive MINI from B7 next to no turbo lag, as peak torque is available from a low 1,850 rpm. Shift a bit early and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still find plenty of grunt to dig you out from the lower revs. A low-flow exhaust system is also part of the package, which as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect delivers a nice, sporty exhaust note to reward your efforts. The JCWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sporttuned suspension (MacPherson struts in front, independent multilink in rear) is ultra firm. Driving along Keele Street in Downsview, adjacent to the ongoing subway project and home to some of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst asphalt, I was jarred into submission by the time I reached downtown Toronto for dinner with friends. On a more positive note, with the carâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wide track and wheels literally pushed to the corners, driving dynamics were remarkably go-kart-like. Corner hard and the MINI feels as if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glued to the road. The â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sportsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; calibrated electric power steering that comes with the JCW upgrade offers plenty of feedback, particularly when in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mode. Enabling sport not only tightens the steering, but noticeably sharpens the throttle response. Prod the gas and this powertrain reacts almost instantly. Inside the cabin, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find several retro MINI cues, like a chromeringed analog tach thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mounted to the steering
column, and the dinnerplate-sized speedometer, that doubles as an infotainment system, centred in the dash. A nifty row of chrome toggle switches along the headliner turn on map lights and open the sunroof, and along the bottom of the centre stack, a matching set manages both windows and locks. Just above, HVAC controls are set up around a chrome-ringed LED display. Front seating is also top-drawer, and like my tester, the sculpted, wellbolstered buckets can be clad in black leather with red piping. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a $1,900 option, but I think well worth it in terms of look and comfort. The 50/50 split-fold rear seats are equally stylish and could be a similar delight, but for the knee-
room. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little behind a shorter driver, but basically none if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re over six-feet tall. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;baseâ&#x20AC;? JCW MINI comes with plenty of standard equipment that includes bi-xenon headlights, front and rear foglights, heated mirrors and washer nozzles, not to mention the spoiler and centre-mounted exhausts previously mentioned. On the inside, you get pushbutton start, automatic climate control, tilt/ telescopic multi-function steering wheel with cruise, multi info display and a pretty decent audio system. My tester included a variety of upgrades that included the $1,900 Comfort Package (panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, rain sensor with auto headlamps and Media Connect).

THE 50/50 REAR SEATS, as tested in Championship Leather with red piping, are stylish and comfortable, but knee room is tight at best.
I was surprised that heated seats and Bluetooth were not part of a base package that comes in just under 37-grand, especially when some automakers are offering this as standard at half the price. But these minor gripes are easy to ignore, as the MINI JCW is such a joy to look at, and to drive. Indeed, it is one of those automotive icons, like the Volkswagen Beetle and Fiat 500, that has somehow captured the essence and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;smile factorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the original, and like the others has come back light years ahead of its predecessor. I think even Mr. Bean would agree.

Around corner, or around globe riety of street riding situations—solo or twoup, around the corner or around the globe” according to company bumpf. Note the emphasis on “street riding” above. One look may bring BMW’s GS to mind—the tall stance and adventure/tour styling—but Kawasaki Canada makes no pretensions of offroad prowess, slotting the bike firmly into the street/touring category, unlike other more ambitious markets, take Britain for example, where the bike is listed as a dual-purpose offering.

lated to the Z1000 “super naked” street machine, mechanically at least. It shares the same sport-derived inline four-cylinder engine retuned for lowerand mid-range torque, and the same braking equipment along with other influences. If I can make a fourwheel segue, it kind of reminds me of the SUV boom in the å90s when manufacturers realized that drivers’ offroad affectations seldom reflected actual ventures off the pavement. Not that I’m saying the Versys 1000 is more about style than substance. It’s just a different kind of substance. And all you have to do to find that out is to start this machine up and go. The Versys shows its sportbike cojones immediately, hustling forth with a howl of power, accelerating up to highway speed in no time with a light snicking through the gears. There’s enough engine here for any situation but the Versys 1000 will sail quietly and sedately on the freeway, spooling at around 4500 rpm, less than halfway up to a lofty 10,000 rpm redline. That just-sufficient rate of engine spin, combined with ample onelitre torque, allows a rid-
er to cruise country highways in sixth gear, slow to 50 km/h through town, and accelerate back up to speed without ever touching the shifter. On my first tank, I rode until the fuel gauge ran down to one bar at 270 km, then hunted for a gas pump and added 15.3L of fuel at 290 km. By the end of the test, my combined fuel economy averaged out even better to 5.2L/100km, for a theoretical range of just over 400 km on the 21-litre tank of gas. The tall seating (same seat height as Versys 650) is no problem for the longinseam crowd and it provides a nice high vantage point in traffic and on touring treks. And the adjustable suspension offers relatively long wheel travel (150 mm front and back) to smooth the roughest roads. The Versys 1000’s ergonomic triangle—from grips to bars to pegs—allows for a relaxed and upright seating position. The footpegs are lower and further forward than the pegs of the Z1000. The seat itself is comfortable, padded with twice as much foam as the Z1000. The grab bars and rear carrier offer plenty of

scrolling through choices of two power modes— full power and low power (about 75 per cent of full) along with the three-mode KTRC system (Kawasaki TRaction Control). Consider the included ABS, power and traction control and the 2012 Versys 1000 seems very reasonably priced at $13,499 (recently cut $500 by Kawasaki’s Mega Cash promotion). That about $6K cheaper than the BMW GS that we, umm, actually decided to not compare it to. Competitors closer in price and intent (although with varying engine styles and equipment levels) would include Yamaha’s

Super Tenere ($16,499), Suzuki’s V-Strom 1000 ($11,499) and Honda’s CBF1000A ($12,249). Kawasaki Canada jumped on the Versys 1000 before their American counterparts (as they did with the Versys 650) because they felt it matched up better with our riders and terrain. The Versys 1000 comes only in Metallic Magnesium Gray in Canada, a colour that seems to shift in tone from gray, to bronze, to brown, depending on the light reflecting off the metal flake.

tie down points for bungeeing extra gear. And, for longer hauls, 34-litre hardshell bags and a 47-litre topcase are available, the complete kit adding up to about $1,800 including mounting hardware and colour-matching trim. Facing forward, the rider’s view takes in wide fhandlebars and a windshield that adjusts quickly and easily (30 mm or 1.2 in) via two knobs in front. The cockpit styling complements the bike’s utilitarian, angular design—the multi-angled windscreen, the funky five-sided mirrors. The only circular element seems to be the classic, round-gauged analogue tachometer mated to a square multi-function LCD screen that displays speed, fuel gauge, odometer, clock, dual tripmeters, instant and average fuel consumption, DTE range and air temperature. In a perfect world, I’d wish for a gear selection indicator, as well. There is a little ECO indicator that pops up on the screen when you’re riding economically. Although, according to the brochure, in order for it to appear “the rider must ride in a gentle manner— less than 6,000 rpm, less than 30 percent throttle, under 160 km/h.” In other words, if you don’t see much of the ECO indicator, man, you are having way too much fun. At the rider’s left thumb, a selection rocker and set button allows you to control that fun level according to road and traction conditions,

NOTICE TO THE LANDOWNERS IN THE SOUTH EAST KELOWNA IRRIGATION DISTRICT BOUNDARY Notice of Alternative Approval Process Opportunity The South East Kelowna Irrigation District (SEKID) intends to pass Borrowing Bylaw # 657 for the purpose of borrowing $15.3 million to fund improvements to the water system. The Water Quality Improvement Project will develop a separate domestic groundwater supply system in order to improve the quality of water delivered to all domestic connections within the South East Kelowna Irrigation District and to ensure Interior Health Authority compliance. The project will involve the separation of the domestic and agricultural supply to all customers. Higher quality well water will be used for domestic use and the existing surface water supply will continue to be used for irrigating larger parcels in the rural areas of the district. These properties will have two water connections; an irrigation service and a domestic water connection. The project includes the addition of two wells. Further details about the project are available on-line at www.sekid.ca.

Lakeview Condos in West Kelowna!
Disney family member sees optimism for house modules Assembly from B28 Blu can succeed in a way that others have not? First, timing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The downturn in the market created opportunity,â&#x20AC;? Disney said, adding that a backlash against overly large, inefficient and costly McMansions has spurred many people to consider the merits of more modest, scaled-down, efficient homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are all sorts of sociological studies that show people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel comfortable in big open spaces,â&#x20AC;? he said, laughing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Seriously, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more rational to live in manageable spacesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;less distance to walk from room to room, less cleaning, less energy. It just makes more sense.â&#x20AC;? The Joshua Tree house also stands apart in that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s built of steel-framed modules that can fold for transport and unfold on site. The proprietary design means the company can expand the envelope of
the building, allowing for wider and taller rooms to be transported on standard shipping-container trucks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ceiling height is substantially higher, and there are a lot of windows, so it feels large, bright and airy,â&#x20AC;? Disney said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Blu homes are relatively small, but the ceiling height changes oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perception of space.â&#x20AC;? Blu has six architectural models, each available in different sizes and configurations, with a palette of fixtures and finishes. Prices for design consultation, construction and installation start at $125,000 US for a 432square-foot studio with fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, and rise to more than $500,000 for a 3,024-square-foot house with butterfly roof, rooms as wide as 25 feet and floor plans that can accommodate as many as five bedrooms. The Joshua Tree house
wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be for everyone. It uses Blu Homesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; most modest modules, 18-footwide boxes with tight bedrooms and even tighter bathrooms. But during a recent walk-through, Blu Homes project manager Jeffrey Morter pointed out features that might appeal to the modern home buyerâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; abundant windows connecting to the landscape, glass doors with sliding cedar-slat shades, radiantheat bamboo flooring, ash kitchen cabinetry. What may finally sell prospective buyers, a spokeswoman said, is fixed pricing. Whereas traditional construction takes three times as long and costs twice as much as originally expected, the adage goes, Blu prefab buyers are quoted a number that wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change. Construction cost overruns, she said, are extremely rare when building in a controlled environment with set materials and crew.

OMREB sales fi gures optimistic Locked-in mortgage option looking more attractive With today’s mortgage interest rate uncertainty, it’s a difficult task trying to decide whether or not to lock into a guaranteed, closed mortgage or risk taking on a variable rate mortgage term. How long will the Bank of Canada actually hold their rate at one per cent? While the current rates could be held as long as the end of 2012, many factors influence that decision. Will inflation kick in sooner than expected? What about a more rapid pick up in the economy? Is our dollar going to continue to be the same value of the American dollar? Will the world economy strengthen? It’s a matter of risk to reward. Are you a gambler on what will happen to mortgage rates or do you prefer a less risky road to follow? When considering the variable rate mortgage we look at the difference in those rates, which are as low as prime minus .35 per cent on the variable (2.65 per cent as of today) or five and 10-year locked-in rates as low as 2.99 and 3.89 per cent respectively. Yes, locked-in is a higher mortgage rate than a variable rate, but the difference is slight. What has been stated in various news articles is that once mortgage rates do start climbing, it may or may not happen quickly. Nobody knows. What it boils down to is, with today’s
interest rate spreads between the variable closed and five-year guaranteed closed mortgage rates, the closed option can give you some financial stability within your home ownership budget. As well, most mortgages are portable, which means should you decide to move into a different home down the road when the rates are significantly higher, you can transfer the existing lower rate mortgage to the new property. And a portable mortgage transfer enables the buyer to also avoid paying out a penalty for closing the mortgage ahead of the maturity date. It comes back, though, to what is your tolerance for risk when deciding your mortgage rate and your economic future.

The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board reports various property type sales improved for August 2012 compared to the same month for the previous year. OMREB says the upswing is a reflection of an uphill climb in sales volumes that began in April. “The Okanagan-Shuswap market has been on the upswing this year, particularly during the second and third quarters,” said North Okanagan realtor Rob Shaw, the OMREB president. “Surprisingly, sales in August rose despite the hot weather that typically keeps potential buyers and sellers in summer vacation mode. “The ongoing improvement we’ve seen during the past five months (April through August) is a trend that we look forward to carrying on into the fall. While we are happy with the positive numbers and things are looking up compared to 2011, the market is still tight as buyers are very price sensitive, looking for bargains and taking their time to make decisions. Shaw said the The Central Okanagan and Shuswap lead the growth in sales for the month with overall units sold up 30 and 29 per cent respectively from August 2011, while sales in the North Okanagan rose 21 per cent over last year. “During August, single family residential sales in the North Okanagan showed the most growth with a
63 per cent gain over last year at this time, followed by a 45 per cent improvement in townhouse sales in the Central Okanagan,” Shaw said. “Year-to-date, total residential sales improved over last year throughout the board area with the North Okanagan leading the way— up 13 per cent, followed by 12 per cent in the Central Okanagan, and nine per cent in the Shuswap.”
REGIONAL BREAKDOWN Peachland to Revelstoke: Overall sales improved by 27.3% during the month of August compared to 2011 (to 629 from 494) but slipped 1.7% from the 640 units sold in July. Year-to-date unit sales increased 11.5% over the first eight months of 2011 (to 4,416 valued at $1.62 billion from 3,960 at $1.48 billion). While inventory in August was down slightly (-0.8%) from this time last year at 9,618 units compared to 9,698, the 1,371 new listings taken for the month dropped 2.9% from 1,412 in 2011. Peachland to Lake Country Overall sales in the Central Zone climbed 29.5% and sales volumes jumped 42.0% for August —to 395 units valued at $172.1 million compared to 305 at $121.2 million in 2011. Total residential sales for the month were up 29.2% compared
to 2011 —to 358 at $160.1 million from 277 at $116.7 million. Single family home sales rose 27.1% compared to last August (to 183 units from 144), while townhouse sales showed the most yearover-year improvement this month at 45.0% (to 58 units from 40 in August 2011). Year-to-date sales to date for 2012 (January through August) totaled 2,872 units valued at $1.1 billion, a 12.5% improvement over 2,553 at $1.0 billion last year. While the 852 new listings added rose 2.4% over 832 in August 2011, inventory for the month dipped 1.9% to 5,082 units compared to 5,179 last year. The Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board is comprised of 1,072 member realtors and 95 real estate offices in the Southern Interior of B.C. The board area covers the Central Okanagan, North Okanagan and Shuswap—from Peachland to Revelstoke. For more information see the website www.omreb.com.

SHOWCASE W PREFAB HOME
A house with assembly required Craig Nakano CONTRIBUTOR
The low-slung structure tucked among the unearthly boulders of Joshua Tree looks vaguely like many other modern prefab homes from the last decade—streamlined silhouette, eco-chic materials, indoor-outdoor appeal—but with one key difference. It has Mickey Mouse in its corner. A globe-eared, whitegloved figurine sitting in the front window is the first—and during a recent sneak peek, the only— hint the owner is Tim Disney, great-nephew of Walt Disney and a prefab believer. Disney is a board member and investor in prefab builder Blu Homes, and the Joshua Tree house, to be opened to the public for the first time Sept. 15, is Blu’s first in Southern California. It’s also part of the company’s national push to fulfill prefab’s decadeslong promise of modern, efficient, affordable houses for the masses. Many have tried before and failed. Others who have stayed in the prefab game have been largely focused on the high end of

Housing starts decrease for Kelowna in August According to preliminary data released today by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation this week, the Kelowna Census Metropolitan Area had 79 housing starts in August 2012, a slight decrease from the 82 housing starts recorded in August 2011. “Detached home starts have been the focus of new home construction in 2012, matching levels recorded during the same
eight month period last year. Reduced demand for resort homes and second residences has resulted in fewer multiple-family starts compared to recent years,” noted CMHC market analyst Paul Fabri. Builders of both detached and multiple-family homes continue to face strong price competition from a well-supplied existing home market.
For August, Kamloops and Vernon housing starts were also lower compared to a year earlier. Penticton area starts were on par with levels recorded in August 2011. As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 65 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of high quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable hous-
ing solutions. CMHC also provides reliable, impartial and up-to-date housing market reports, analysis and knowledge to support and assist consumers and the housing industry in making informed decisions.

he wavering economy and loose forecast have left some home buyers with reservations on when the right time to purchase might be. The unknown about if or when housing prices bottom out has become an attractive incentive for some buyers, but there are two sides to every coin. Waiting for our prices REAL ESTATE to bottom out to achieve the RUNDOWN best deal possible might actually work as a disadvantage, as before you know it, prices are back on the climb and your opportunity is missed. With sale prices down Ceinwen and interest rates remaining Morgan low, making the move from being a tenant to becoming a homeowner can be a smooth transition. Or is it? “The government is saying you should not be a homeowner if you cannot afford it,” warns Benjamin Tal, deputy chief economist at CIBC World Markets Inc. But how can you not afford not to make a long-term investment in real estate when on a $200,000 mortgage at the current rate of 3.09 per cent on a five-year term with a 25 year amortization period, one example offered by Dominium Lending Centres, your monthly mortgage rate would be about $955. But there seems to be another concerning factor for purchasers, the lingering issue that the current housing market bubble will burst. But how long are we to wait for this to possibly occur? When will we really hit rock bottom? Perhaps we should consult with what other economists see in their crystal balls. Tsur Somerville, director of the University of BC’s Urban Economics, states: “I don’t have a crystal ball but if I had to guess I would be more likely to guess this kind of lower sales/flat prices is more likely to continue.” David Madani, economist with Capital Economics, is continuing to forecast housing prices in Canada to crash 25 per cent over the next few years. The Canadian Real Estate Association has forecasted sale prices to increase 2.2 per cent from 2011 and rise modestly in 2013 another two per cent. So despite conflicting views from economists and continuous scares of mortgage rates climbing and the housing bubble bursting, Canada has continued to show strength by being ranked in the top seven of 39 countries for housing markets by Global Property Guide’s. And with Kelowna’s employment rate reflecting an all time low of 4.1 per cent, maybe the time to make the transition to home ownership is now. Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.
