Flames were visible across the Central Okanagan from the Shelter Cove wildfire burning Monday night.
Shelter Cove fire spreads to 430 hectares, 70 homes evacuated Kathy Michaels kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com
Tinder dry conditions and high winds contributed to yet another Okanagan fire Monday night, leaving area residents to watch helplessly as flames aggressively rolled across a Westside hill. The wildfire, which as of Tuesday afternoon was mapped at 430 hectares, started Sunday at a spot above Westside Road near Shelter Cove, where lightning struck.
Early detection meant that helicopters were able to almost immediately able knock down the flames it sparked, leaving little more than a puff of smoke in its place. Underground, however, it continued to smoulder until Monday night when winds whipped through the valley, changing things for the worse. Karen Miller lives across the lake from the fire and had a clear view of how a steady breeze picked up flames and helped them grow out of control.
“It was shocking to see the wind cause the fire to flare up Monday night. It quickly got huge and moved (downhill) toward Westside Road and then jumped to the north,” Miller said. “As terrifying as a fire of that magnitude is, it is captivating to watch and there was a steady stream of traffic along Okanagan Centre Road West to watch the fire grow directly across the lake from Safe Harbour. I’d never seen trees candling like that before—
exploding like firecrackers amidst the smoke and flames.” If nothing else positive came of the sight, it did act as a reminder that she needs to update her family’s emergency plan, lest they be in fire’s path one day. Provincial fire information officer Navi Saini said 70 houses along Westside Road were evacuated at around 9:30 p.m. Monday as the fire spread. “It spread overnight to Westside Road and

north to Caesars Landing, but we don’t have any structure loss which is good news,” said Saini, noting that she couldn’t specifically say how close flames got to area houses, but that there were crews actively protecting the properties in the area. Saving homes is considered a win, but the fire has yet to be contained and the challenges it poses are still high in number.

Tattoo arts go family-friendly Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com
Kathy Michaels staff reporter
SAWYER KLASSEN/CAPITAL NEWS
The third annual Okanagan Tattoo Show took place at the Parkinson Recreation Centre this past weekend. The show featured 56 tattoo artists, many of whom were local, while others came from across Canada and three even flew out from Germany specifically for the event. Production and entertainment director Terrance Smith said they wanted to not only show off some of the amazing artists located in Kelowna, but also give attendees opportunities to have work done by artists they otherwise wouldn’t be able to meet. The show also had quite a bit of entertainment including acrobatics, break dancers and a car show, in what Smith explained as a plan to make the event familyfriendly in a reflection of the change in tattoo culture and perception in the past 10 years. “The general consensus
Cyclists face dangers riding on Kelowna roads every day
With more than 50 tattoo artists on hand at the Okanagan Tattoo Show, many took the opportunity to get some new ink work done. of tattoos in general has really changed over the last decade, it’s become more widely acceptable and family friendly,” he described. “All walks of life will have a tattoo of some sort. So we built and designed this convention as family friendly and geared
towards as broad a public as possible.” Smith noted that change is in large part due to the number of reality television shows that feature tattoo artists. “It’s not just bikers anymore that get tattoos, it’s not just musicians,” he explained. “It’s moms
who work reception, it’s flight attendants, it’s doctors. I know a number of people in the health profession that are covered in tattoos. It’s a form of self expression that doesn’t see gender, and doesn’t see race.” The Okanagan Tattoo Show has seen some
slow and steady growth over its three years of existence, and Smith is happy with its rate of progression. He added they hope to keep it growing, and want to be able to make it fresh and different from year to year.
Kelowna cyclists wanting to help raise awareness about the dangers facing bike commuters are invited to take part in a Friday night critical mass ride. UBC Okanagan professor Michael V. Smith is organizing the ride in hopes that some good can come from the death of Patricia Keenan, a 38-year old mother and cyclist who died July 16, two days after she crashed into a car door that unexpectedly opened as she was cycling down Bernard Avenue. “Just yesterday, somebody posted on Facebook about how awful (Keenan’s) death was, and a bunch of people were replying about other incidents they had, where they were nearly injured,” said Smith, Tuesday. “So, the I thought the
thing to do was just have an awareness raising ride… Bikes are the most vulnerable vehicles on the road, but they get the least respect.” Among other things, Smith has seen car and truck drivers park in bike lanes, cut off cyclists, threaten them, throw things from their windows and generally put their lives at risk. All of those behaviours should be policed and sanctioned, he said. He also thinks a little education would go a long way in making local roads safer. “Somebody almost hit me last week—they turned right in front of me,” he said, explaining the driver was oblivious to the bike lane he was riding in. “Every time you get on your bike there is something some driver has done wrong, either

SHELTER COVE WILDFIRE
As of Tuesday afternoon, no structures had been lost SHELTER COVE FROM A1 Of particular concern is predicting how the weather will contribute to or limit the firefight. “You can have heavy machinery and crews working overnight, and we use air tankers and helicopters until landing time, at sunset,” said Saini. But, she explained, if the winds get too forceful and the smoke too heavy, those air crews will have to hold back until stable conditions return. The forecast for cooler weather in the days
ahead doesn’t negate the possibility that wind and lightning will be present. Both of which have been a strain on B.C. firefighters, who have seen an abnormally high number of fires. In a teleconference held Tuesday, BC’s chief fire info officer Kevin Skrepnek said 1,273 fires have burned nearly 300,000 hectares of forest at a cost of $136 million this season. Currently, there are 259 active wildfires across B.C., 115 of which were sparked by lightning strikes earlier in the week.
It spread overnight (Monday) to Westside Road and north to Caesars Landing, but we don’t have any structure loss which is good news.” Navi Saini, B.C. fire information officer “By any measure that’s a significant amount,” he said. As city-sized swaths of forests burn, thousands of firefighters from across the province and beyond
are being tapped to help battle back flames. The Westside fire is being fought by North Westside and Wilson Landing structural firefighters along with ground and air support from the BC Wildfire Service. RCMP members and various other groups are also in the mix, ensuring that those affected by the fire will have some modicum of security. Mounties are conducting security patrols within the Evacuation Area, which runs from 3985 Westside
Road north to La Casa Resort (but not including La Casa) and the following roads: Denison Road, Shelter Cove Road and Deighton Road. And, those who are out of home currently have somewhere to go. The Central Okanagan Regional District sent out a release saying Emergency Support Services Reception Centre located in the Westside Lions Community Hall, 2466 Main Street in West Kelowna is open to assist only those residents within the Evacuation Order area.
They should register for assistance by ESS volunteers with food, lodging and clothing needs. As well, volunteers with the Canadian Animal Disaster Response Team (CDART) are on hand to help evacuees that have animals or may call 250809-7152 for assistance. BC Hydro advises the electricity is off as a result of the firefighting effort affecting approximately 1,400 including many who are not under the Evacuation Order. Residents can check for updates at www.bchydro. com and select the Power
Outages menu option. After an extended outage residents may wish to get information about Health and Safety from the Interior Health website www.interiorhealth.ca. There are no Evacuation Alerts associated with this fire. Neither La Casa Resort or Lake Okanagan Resort are under the Evacuation Order or Alert at this time. Westside Road is still closed between Cinnabar Creek and La Casa Resort. For the latest road information please visit the Drive BC website, www.drivebc.ca.

news _____________________________________________________________________ RAFT OF THE MEDUSA
Sawyer Klassen sawyer.klassen@kelownacapnews.com
Randall Robinson and Pat Brown are bringing a tragedy from the French Bourbon Restoration era back to life. Robinson and Brown are the co-writers of the musical tragedy Raft of the Medusa, a story about French painter Theodore Gericault and his famous painting, La Balsa de la Medsusa (The Raft of the Medusa), which currently sits in The Louvre. In 1816, the French ship Meduse (Medusa in
English) was travelling from France to Senegal when it ran aground on a sandbar, causing 150 of the ships 400 passengers to construct a makeshift raft. When the raft was rescued after 14 days at sea, only 15 of the 150 sailors were still alive. Two years later, Theodore Gericault heard an account of the ordeal by the ship’s surgeon, Dr Henri Savigny (played by Brown), and was so moved he began to paint his 23-foot masterpiece. The play tells the story
of Gericault and his passion-driven descent into darkness and the parallels with the Raft of the Medusa. The musical consists of 24 songs, which will be performed by a live band and 22-member ensemble. Robinson, who is also the director and producer of the musical, explained the music is accessible for everyone while the story will appeal to traditional theatre lovers. While Robinson and Brown have been writing music together since the

his history classes. Brown was his roommate at the time, and they almost immediately began
envisioning ways to portray the story. Robinson explained the idea had always been in the back of their minds since then, and four years ago they really began to work at it. While Raft of the Medusa is a musical tragedy, Robinson said it isn’t completely dark; it does have a love story, and there is a positive message in the ending. He added the story is entirely historically accurate, and when writing it they felt they had to get out of the way of the story rather than mold it. Raft of the Medusa will be performed at the Kelowna Community Theatre on July 24, 25, 31and Aug. 1. For tickets call 250-762-5050 or visit raftofthemedusamusical. com.

In fact, in a double blind study published in Journal of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society, 90%of patients suffering from heel and arch pain showed significant improvements with Shockwave. Furthermore, Shockwave Therapy (developed to break up kidney stones) has success rates of between 77%-91% in the treatment of other soft tissue conditions. Results are often experienced within a couple of visits and the treatment is covered by many insurance companies.

Unfortunately, we continuously use our feet, which makes healing from related injuries very difficult.

Plantar Fasciitis is an overuse injury affecting the fibrous tissue that forms the arch. Heel spurs can form when the fascia tears at the heel attachment and results in pain in the center of the heel. Achilles Tendonitis is irritation of the Achilles where the calf muscle meets the heel and can result in pain in the calf, the Achilles, or the back of the heel. The inflammation from overuse leads to pain as well as deposits of scar tissue, further inflaming the area each time the Achilles or plantar fascia are used. After the body has tried for weeks or months to heal the injury with no

Drunk woman fights off Mounties
Two local Mounties needed to be rescued after they tried to retrieve a drunk woman out of Okanagan Lake, Sunday. On July 19, at 9:58 p.m., the Kelowna RCMP received a report that an intoxicated female had gone running into Okanagan Lake. The police attempted
to corral her and bring her back to shore when she became combative. The Kelowna RCMP members became exhausted, clung to a swimming buoy and were picked up by the Kelowna Fire Department. The officers were transported to Kelowna General Hospital for treatment
and released. The Kelowna woman, 19, returned to shore and was subsequently taken into custody. She could potentially face criminal charges. The Kelowna RCMP thanked the Kelowna Fire Department for their assistance on Okanagan Lake.

Be kind to your fish when angling Southern British Columbia has experienced unprecedented heat this spring and early summer. Most streams and rivers have very low water flows and above-average seasonal temperatures. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations has taken the unprecedented step of suspending angling in some streams throughout the province, including the Kettle and West Kettle rivers. While many other rivers and lakes across B.C. are still suitable for fishing, it is always good to review proper fish-handling practices, especially given the forecast for continued warm temperatures. If you plan to practice catch-and-release, appropriate handling will dramatically increase the survival and subsequent recapture rate of fish. There are many factors that contribute to

whether a released fish will survive unharmed. Some of the most important include how long a fish is played, how it’s handled, where in the fish it’s hooked, the water temperature, and gear type. During summer, trout will seek out deeper, cooler water. When hooked, they are brought up into warmer water which holds less dissolved oxygen and are very stressed—the longer a fish is played, the worse the impact. As a general rule, always reel fish in as quickly as possible. Once at the surface, fish can either be netted, or gently handled in the water while the hook is removed. Before landing the fish, wet your hands and the entire net bag to reduce the loss of protective slime and scales. Use a net that is big enough to hold the size of fish you could expect to catch. The netting should be made of a soft, non-abrasive, knotless material, with mesh openings of less than 20
millimetres. Some handy tools to have at hand, to remove hooks are hemostats (surgical pliers) or a pair of needle-nosed pliers. The latter can also be used to pinch down barbs. All streams and rivers in our province, and many lakes, have a restriction to single barbless hooks— recommended for all catch-and-release fishing. Keep the fish and net in the water while removing hooks. Hooks deep in the throat or in the gill arches should be left in place, and the leader cut as close to the hook as possible. Most hooks will fall out within a couple of weeks. However, badly hooked or bleeding fish should be kept as part of your allowable catch. Large fish can be kept calm by turning them upside-down while in the net. Once the hook is out, support the fish by placing one hand under the pectoral fins (behind the head) and forming a U-shape for the body to sit in.
Prices in Effect
With your other hand, gently grasp the narrow section just ahead of the tail (the caudal peduncle or “wrist”) and, with both hands in place, cradle the fish gently below the surface of the water until it swims away on its own. If you’re fishing in a river, point the fish upstream into the current; when it begins to struggle, let it go. If you want to take a picture of your catch, the fish should not be lifted out of the water for more than three seconds. A fish destined for liverelease should never be held vertically by the gills, or upside-down by the tail: these positions can cause serious damage to internal organs. And during this time of severe environmental stress on fish, please consider minimizing the number of fish you catch and release. If you plan to keep your catch, treat your fish humanely—dispatch it with a sharp blow to the top of the head, and clean it promptly.

Green candidate to step aside in support of Liberal Alistair Waters awaters@kelonwacapnews.com
Now that Gary Adams has been nominated as the Green Party candidate in the Kelowna-Lake Country federal riding, he’s ready to step down. That’s because Adams simply ran in order to step aside and let local Liberal Party candidate Stephen Fuhr represent Greens, as well as his own party, when the federal election rolls around in October. The “co-operation” deal—both sides insist it is not co-nomination— was approved by LakeCountry Green Party members at the local riding association’s nomination meeting last Thursday night in Kelowna by their support for Adams. “Our common goals on climate change, restoring our democracy, and diversifying our economy have been dramatically undermined in the last 10 years under (Prime Minister Stephen) Harper,” said Adams. He feels a broad coalition of voters would be willing to support Fuhr in order to unseat Conservative incumbent MP Ron Cannan. Adams won the nomination with 58 per cent of the vote. His only challenger, Alan Monk, took 42 per cent of the vote. A third candidate Gary Blidook, withdrew before the vote and threw his support behind Monk. The Green Party members who voted at the nomination meeting knew heading into the vote what casting their ballot for Adams meant, having clearly stated his intentions in advance. While not specifically endorsing the plan, Green Party leader Elizabeth May had said she would leave the decision as to who represents local Greens in the upcoming federal election up to the riding association’s membership. Fuhr, a retired Canadian Armed Forces fighter pilot, welcomed the vote result and its meaning, saying the cooperation “partnership” has the blessing of his party’s leadership. But Fuhr also made it clear prior to the nomination meeting that while he and his party share many of the Green Party’s views on
issues like democratic reform, a transition to a more energyefficient and low-carbon emissions economy and a return to governing with “evidence-based” policy, the Liberal election platform and Green Party platform are not identical. As such, while Fuhr said he will consult with local Greens if elected, he will not be the Green Party’s candidate or a Green MP. The man behind the bid to have Fuhr represent the Greens in the race with Cannan and local NDP candidate Norah Bowman is UBC Okanagan professor Dan Ryder. He has described the cooperation deal with Fuhr as a “partnership, but not an equal partnership.” Ryder has said he hoped the cooperation plan here would be looked at closely in other Canadian federal ridings as a way to try to unseat or defeat Conservative incumbents and candidates. “It’s Green Party policy to cooperate with other parties, but implementing that is easier said than done,” said Ryder. “But our efforts here show that it is possible.”
Originally, Ryder had proposed a conomination plan, but that was rejected because Green Party membership rules did not allow it. If Fuhr is elected, he will face what the Liberals call a “low-whipping” system of requiring its MPs to vote a certain way. They will only be required to vote with the party on issues concerning confidence motions, Charter rights and election platform promises. All other votes would be “free” votes for future Liberal MPs. Because of that, the cooperation deal would see Fuhr consult with both the local Liberal and Green Party riding associations prior to voting on a given issue. He has already publicly stated he would support proportional representation for voting in future federal elections and higher environmental standards than the Liberals are recurrently proposing, both key Green Party objectives. While the deal with the Greens is expected to bring Fuhr more support, he has said he realizes he will need the support of voters who, in the past, have not voted Liberal or Green to unseat Cannan.
Centre of Gravity parking issues The impact of the Centre of Gravity this weekend will be felt with Abbott Street parking restrictions. Due to the festival in nearby City Park, parking on Abbott Street (Highway 97 south to Park Avenue and west of Water Street to the lake) as well as Knox Crescent and all of Beach Avenue will be restricted starting Thursday, July 23, until Monday, July 27. On-street parking will be available to valid resident and visitor permit holders only. These permits can be obtained at Kelowna City Hall. The city advises motorists that ticketing and towing will be enforced during this time period. Public parking is available at various
88
parking lots downtown, including Chapman Parkade on Lawrence Avenue and the Library Parkade on Ellis Street. However, the City Park parking lot will be closed from Wednesday, July 22. to Monday, July 27. Residents and visitors attending Centre of Gravity are encouraged to use public transit to enjoy the festivities downtown. Visit bctransit.com under Kelowna for route and schedule information. Shuttle buses are also available to ticket holders; visit centerofgravity.ca for more information. As Center of Gravity is taking place in City Park, adjacent to Highway 97, motorists are reminded to be aware that they may see bikes in the air during the dirt bike show and to not be alarmed.

Opinion OUR VIEW
Another valley district puts borrowing up to referendum It appears that Greater Vernon residents will be heading to the polls. The Regional District of North Okanagan is proceeding with a process that would see voters in Vernon, Coldstream and the two electoral areas decide this fall if funds—possibly $13 million—should be borrowed to add a second ice sheet to Kal Tire Place. However, given the fiasco that was last year’s failed water plan referendum, hopefully RDNO staff and politicians are putting together a game plan that gives the arena vote a fighting chance of being successful. That process must not just include providing basic details such as the financial impact of borrowing on the average tax bill, but why a new arena is required given the current condition of the 78-year-old Civic Arena and the ongoing demand for ice time, whether it’s for youth or oldtimers. The economic development argument will also have to be put forward as hockey tournaments bolster tourism and a twin facility is attractive for trade shows and other special events. Critical to the referendum will be the regional district bringing together the various user groups which will benefit from a new facility and ensuring that their members and supporters come out in full force on voting day. Officials admit that putting a borrowing referendum before residents creates some uncertainty, not only because of the water vote but also construction of the sports track which has gone completely over budget. But despite those two recent cases, there is no reason that an arena referendum can’t be successful if the regional district brings the Greater Vernon community on board.

CAPITAL news AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER
Nestlé protest doesn’t hold water Have you noticed the latest Victoria News degradation of standards on TV news? In addition TOM to sensational FLETCHER depictions of crime, accidents and celebrities, the lineup now incorporates any nonsense that is momentarily “viral” on the Internet. So it was with an online petition singling out Swiss food corporation Nestlé, which operates a water bottling plant near Hope. It’s the largest in B.C., one of many that bottle the province’s water and sell it back to a gullible public. This petition is courtesy of SumOfUs, one of those self-appointed environmental watchdogs that seem to pop up like mushrooms overnight. “Fighting for people over profits,” they claim, pitching for donations. The story has what U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert calls “truthiness.” That’s when something is false, but it “feels” true. “Nestlé is about to suck B.C. dry – for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” says the SumOfUs headline. Using her keen sense of what’s superficially popular, Premier Christy Clark instantly called for a review of these low rates for selling the people’s water. It then fell to Environment Minister Mary Polak to explain what’s really going on. “People keep saying there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak told reporters. “There isn’t. They pay the same as any other industrial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy industrial uses.” And why is that rate so low? It’s because the province takes great pains not to “sell” water, which would make it a commodity under trade agreements, like oil or minerals. That would surrender provincial control, and allow the U.S. to press for equal access to Canadian water.

“You’re buying the right to use the water,” Polak said. “I know it sounds crazy to the public, but we call it a rental – a water rental. There’s a reason we use that language, because we are very careful to avoid any suggestion that by paying this amount, you therefore own that water. “That reserves for us the right at any time, for a compelling public need, to say stop. It doesn’t matter if you have a licence.” As for the brazenly false claim that Nestlé is sucking B.C. dry, I’m indebted to a real environmental professional named Blair King for explaining this. (His blog, achemistinlangley.blogspot.ca, offers useful technical explanations of issues in the news, many of which contradict so-called environmentalists.) King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake: “If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes. “Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.” Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fires. She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water. Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source. Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Letters CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP
Canadian legislation will see court action To the editor: Alistair Waters must be congratulated on his column, without spin and hyperbole. (Don’t Take This Canadian’s Citizenship Away, July 15 Kelowna Capital News) Here is someone who may be impacted directly and negatively from this misbegotten piece of legislation. Just imagine a Canadian citizen having his/her citizenship lifted for acts allegedly committed against the interest of ‘the State,’
where any government may declare any group to be an ‘enemy’ of Canada. No wonder that the government, once again, hastily pushed the bill—with help of its “trained seals” (to quote MP Tony Rathgeber, Edmonton-St. Albert)—through the House and the Senate. This legislation will certainly become a subject of court action, but the very fact that the government drove it through Parliament, without regard to valid concerns and
objectives raised, indicates its vindictiveness and mean-spiritedness. Our regional MPs dutifully voted in favour, and—in answer to concerns—feel that regurgitating the talking points from the Prime Minister’s Office is all that citizens are entitled to. A sad state of affairs. Harri Henschler, West Kelowna

He deliberately created what he described as “creative tension,” a tension he believed would lead to social reform. He understood that the political, church, and social leaders of his day preferred peaceful and calm waters, but he could not cooperate because he recognized what lurked below the surface: An ugly injustice that was an affront to both God and the dignity of all human beings. And so it is with abortion. Whether you choose to recognize it or not, we live in a

Local residents ignore ‘no dogs’ bylaws at beaches In the many years I have lived here, I have seen little or no enforcement by our bylaws officers ever. Contrary to what dog owners claim, there are many that do not clean up after their animals and leave a disgusting mess where children play. There have been several dog parks set up at taxpayers’ expense where dog owners can go—take your dogs there.

STACK ‘EM HIGH
Kelowna perfect spot for 180-storey highrise To the editor: I recently read that Italian architect Luca Bari has designed a mammoth 180-storey highrise building that is 750 meters tall and has space for 25,000 people, and is looking for a city in which to build it. I suggest that he construct it here in Kelowna as it is the perfect solution to many of Kelowna’s problems. Placed squarely in the downtown core, just think what it could do to revitalize the downtown and save land. If “growing up, not out” is smart growth, surely this concept is brilliant.

Abortion ‘very likely’ to lead to euthanasia
To the editor: As a resident of the Lower Mission and a user of Sarsons beach and Eldorado beach access I would like to know why local dog owners continue to take their animals to these beaches when there are signs clearly stating that these are non-dog beaches. These people just ignore the signs, it seems, with complete impunity. When challenged, dog owners become either belligerent or act as if they are being victimized.

Open letter to Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran: I am responding to your staunch refusal to grant the Kelowna Right to Life Society a City of Kelowna proclamation that celebrates human life for just one day. I understand very well your desire to promote unifying interests while avoiding controversy. In fact, this is exactly the sort of “negative peace, which is the absence of tension, (as opposed) to a positive peace which is the presence of justice,” the great social reformer Martin Luther King Jr. referred to in his 1963 Letter from a Birmingham Jail. He was responding to white clergy who objected to his method of non-violent demonstration, claiming that he was causing division and

downtown, just like the DKA has always wanted. Perhaps the sidewalks would have to be widened a bit, but not too much. And just think of all those ‘eyes in the sky’ to fight crime. Getting approval for this project should be no problem at all as Kelowna city council could work with the current zoning and just allow one height variance like it does in approving most highrises in the city. Nifty idea, isn’t it? I think Mr. Bari has found a home for his futuristic project right here in Kelowna. John Zeger, Kelowna

Landmark movie turned into Black Box stage play Things are about to get hot around The Black Box Theatre and it is not because of the Kelowna sunshine. New Vintage Theatre will open the stage adaptation of The Graduate today, the story of a recent Ivy League graduate who returns home to California to begin a tawdry affair with a family friend, Mrs.
CONTRIBUTED
THEATRE The Graduate July 22-25 7 p.m. The Black Box Theatre 1375 Water St. Kelowna
Peter MacLeod and Natasha Davis in a scene from the Black Box Theatre stage production of the film classic The Graduate. Robinson. The popular 1967
Academy Award winning film launched the film
directing career of noted performer Mike Nichols and gave a young upstart named Dustin Hoffman his big break and his first Academy Award nomination. The soundtrack was also a hit-introducing the world to a pair of musicians called Simon and Garfunkel. Nichols passed away in 2014, but was remembered as one of the 20th century’s most notable directors for movies including Carnal Knowledge, Who’s Afraid of Virgina Woolf, Silkwood, Working Girl and many other classics. While New Vintage Theatre’s stage production cannot help but be inspired by Nichols’ iconic film that won him an Academy
Award for best director, stage director Brooklyn Ritchie, himself a recent graduate of the Masters of Directing program at the University of Alberta, certainly could relate to the character of Benjamin Braddock in ways that have given this play a unique perspective. The lead actor Peter MacLeod, who plays Benjamin is also 21, the same age as the character he plays and also just on the verge of graduation. “It’s interesting because Ben and I are the exact same age, and we’re both at the stage of our life where we are so uncertain to what it is we actually want,” said MacLeod. “The university particularly has been very good to me in terms of
the opportunities they’ve presented me with and the same statement can be made for Ben, so I empathize with the concept of how removing that institutional safety net can have people like us quite apprehensive of our future.” As for the hot bedroom sequences, Natasha Davis says that they had such a clear sense of their characters and felt so confident under Ritchie’s supportive direction that they asked, “Can this be the rehearsal we strip down to our underwear?” Tickets are available at selectyourtickets.com or by calling 250-762-5050. New Vintage Theatre is a Kelowna based professional theatre company that presents new works and innovative takes on theatre and film classics.

As a responsible boater: • File your sail plan with a responsible person. • Check the weather forecast before you leave shore. • Carry a Canadian-approved lifejacket or personal flotation device (PFD) of the right size, for each person on board.
(Central Okanagan Child Development Association – providing early intervention services to children and families for over 40 years)
I WISH I MAY, I WISH I MIGHT
• Have the required safety equipment on board. Your equipment must be: • Easy to reach • In good working order, maintained and replaced according to manufacturer’s recommendations • Carry your pleasure craft licence on board. • Carry your proof of competency while operating any motor driven vessel.

In Kelowna, Dame Audrey Surrao, of RauDZ Regional Table, and Dame Marina Knutson, of Spierhead Winery, have come together again this year to create a picnic in Spierhead’s vineyard for four guests (sold out), while new Pilgrim & Pearl (sold out) has also donated a table for a lucky foursome. Chef Grant de Montreuil will be creating a spectacular meal to serve in his culinary garden (10 tickets available) while in Summerland at LOCAL Lounge & Grille a table for eight is up for grabs on their gorgeous private lounge patio overlooking the lake. Chef Mark Filatow, of Waterfront Wines, generously has offered up a kitchen table for four again this year and guests at Terrafina Restaurant’s table for eight will
again be swept away with the magic of dining in the vineyard on a warm desert night. The Terrace at Mission Hill Winery joined the fun this year with a glorious table for six (sold out) overlooking the vineyards. How to choose from this incredible line up? Remember, you can buy as many tickets as you like and do not have to purchase the whole table for a group—these are communal tables offering a wonderfully unique, Okanagan food and wine experience. All proceeds from the dinners and online auction will be donated to Les Dames d’Escoffier BC Chapter for scholarship and outreach funding, with 50/50 ticket proceeds going to the Green Tables initiatives we support, Project CHEF and Growing Chefs. The on-line auction for an Okanagan Get Away for Two goes live on July 29. Please book a table and help us help women achieve their dreams and hopefully come back to join our thriving Okanagan food and wine industry.

This show is just pure fun—it’s a splashy, high-energy trip back to the ‘60s. This is a full-on dance show, and we’ve got a cast that’s definitely up to it,” said director Matt Brown. “Even if you’re not familiar with Frank’s amazing life story or the Steven Spielberg film, you will be drawn in by this fabulous new musical,” added KAS artistic managing director Randy Leslie, cast in the role of Carl Hanratty. “When I saw it for the first time, I was so blown away that I knew we had to bring it to the Okanagan. It mixes the vintage feel of the swinging 1960s with fresh show-stopping musical numbers and choreography. It’s just an incredibly fun and
heartwarming show.” CONCERT Sarah Burton Saturday July 25 Fleetwood Public House 2402 Highway 97 Kelowna Toronto-based singer/ songwriter Sarah Burton recently released her latest album Make Your Own Bed in March. Burton is now touring across Canada this summer, making a stop in Kelowna on July 25 to play the Fleetwood Public House.

Dare to dream success
Several readers have asked me to write in my column about what constitutes a successful entrepreneur. So today, let me offer you a sketch of Mr Okanagan Entrepreneur —that mystical, magical human that perhaps many of us would gladly emulate given the right
Entrepreneurial Spirit JOEL YOUNG set of circumstances. You will recall from previous articles how I invited you to embrace
the notion that an entrepreneur is a person who looks at the world the same as you and I but thinks differently, a person who grasps a perceived opportunity when he or she sees it, analyzes it, evaluates it and arrives at
that crescendo of faith: “I have it, now, I will do it” So what is the right recipe for those who wan to be their own boss, run their own innovative enterprise but you are not sure you have the right qualifications. What are the characteristics of an
YMCA of Okanagan
entrepreneur? Is your personal profile similar to that of a successful entrepreneur? The simple truth is that the majority of us are not born leaders, but become entrepreneurial leaders through “who we are” and the actions we take. So be willing to open your mind, your heart and your sense of reasoning as you consider whether these characteristics are part of your driving force. In my research for today’s column, I reviewed my scholarly texts, the Internet and previous discussion papers I had authored
and readily concluded the complementarity of characteristics across the research landscape. Below are some distinguishing characteristics of effective entrepreneurial leadership: • a global perspective —appreciates differences across cultures, learns from and finds a common ground • an entrepreneurial spirit—is not afraid to try new ideas and puts a combinations of ideas together to make things happen

A cause-worthy team building event. Local staff of the Royal Bank of Canada believe in growing the potential of their clients and the community as a whole, which is why they are excited to participate in YMCA Cycle for Strong Kids this year. “We pride ourselves on giving back to our local community through volunteerism and fundraising efforts,” says Arthur Monahan, RBC Rutland Branch Manager. “The YMCA’s mission is a great fit for our staff because we both place a high importance on educating and advocating for our clients so they can lead the healthiest life possible. Financial health plays a significant role in a person’s overall health and we want to make sure our clients feel secure and help them make decisions that will bring them success.” “The fact that our participation in YMCA Cycle for Strong Kids
will help children and families right here in the Okanagan is a great feeling,” explains Natasha Sazonova, RBC Rutland Manager of Client Care. “We are so fortunate to live in Kelowna and understand how important it is to give back locally.” YMCA Cycle for Strong Kids will take place September 19 from 7am–2pm outside the H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre. It is an excellent team building opportunity for businesses with each team registering for a 45 minute stationary cycle class and rallying together to raise money for local children and families in need. This year, RBC wants to grow their team with a goal of filling a time slot, which would amount to 55 bikes total. “This event is a great opportunity to bring our employees, across Kelowna,

Dog agility club members qualify for national finals
Barry Gerding
bgerding@kelownacapnews.com
The Central Okanagan Dog Agility Club will have a significant presence at the upcoming Canadian National Agility Championships taking place next month in Burnaby, Aug. 19 to 23. Fifteen club members and 17 dogs competed at the regional finals for B.C./Yukon, hosted in Langley; 14 members and 16 dogs qualified for the national finals. “I’m very proud of our club, we did exceedingly well. All but one of our members qualified for the nationals and the one who didn’t was so close,” said Jan Johnson, a dog agility club member for 13 years and one of the group who earned a spot in the national finals. As the nationals are hosted in a different part of the country each year, Johnson said the cost is often prohibitive for local regional qualifiers to make the trip, hence the added interest this year because the event takes place in the Lower Mainland. Of the 15 club members, three made it to the top six in their dogs’ height categories, placing on the podium and earning an extra ribbon or trophy. Those three are Natalie Szita with her Chihuahua Nixon, first in the 10-inch regular dogs category; Linda Heming and her
Shetland sheepdog Gracie, second in the sixinch double drop veteran dogs category; and Kirsten Locke with her Irish setter Brazen, fourth place in the 22-inch Special Dogs category. “As a young dog, Nixon was terribly timid and would startle from the slightest noise or movement,” said Szita. “Now at six years of age, agility training has given Nixon the confidence, speed and enthusiasm to live his life to the fullest.” Locke credited her dog Brazen for her love to compete at big events. “She always seems to know when to bring her best game on,” she said. Heming said she went to the regionals with low expectations. “We hadn’t been doing very well in recent local agility trials. So it was a big surprise when we came second, only missing first place by 0.5 points.” The other members who qualified for the nationals are Sarah Knight and her dog Meeko, Christine McPhee with Sky and Duffy, Marilyn Sawatzky with Deuce and Molly, Jane Beddard and Cody, Meghan Turton and Jazz, Hildi Stewart and Babs, Denise Tarlier and Nikki, Roger Perron and Bandit, Lora Pronger and Finn, Gail Lannard and Tucker and Jan Johnson with Morocco. The dog agility competition called on the
dog and handler tandem to complete six agility runs—two in standard (which uses all equipment including weave poles,
dog walk, A-frame and teeter totter); two in jumpers (all jumps and tunnels) and two in gambles (where the dog
has to work away from the handler in distances up to 22 feet). Johnson said the dog agility season starts in
March building up to the summer with the regionals and national finals. She said the members
train at a facility once a week near the Kelowna airport, and some train their dogs further in their backyards at home.

AJ and Bam Bam came to the shelter as a bonded pair. It is absolutely imperative that they are adopted together. If you sing they will sing with you. Due the fact that they are a bit on the shy side, we are looking for new guardians that are quiet and have a patient loving hand to guide them to trust and confidence in their new surroundings. If you like a bit of entertainment while you work around the house, then please come down and spend some time getting to know these two lovely boys.

Here are some ways to keep your heart healthy
Since 1952, the cardiovascular death rate in Canada has declined by more than 75 per cent, and nearly 40 per cent in the last decade, according to Statistics Canada. That is largely due to research advances in surgical procedures, drug therapies and prevention efforts. (Statistics Canada 2011) Cardiovascular disease and stroke continue to be two of the three leading causes of death in Canada; however, the good news is we now know that each of us have control over most risk factors linked to heart disease. The risk factors for heart disease include a sedentary lifestyle, smoking, obesity, poor diet, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and stress. Below are some simple, common sense tips to keep your heart healthy. Keep your weight under control—eating too much fatty and high calorie foods and being overweight puts stress and strain on your heart. Those who need to lose weight should aim for a slow, steady weight loss by decreasing calorie intake and increasing physical activity. Fat is very important in a well-balanced diet, however reducing the amount of fat will help reduce your cholesterol. Of the types of fat—saturated, polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and trans fat—saturated fat and trans fat are the ones to try to limit or avoid. Try to keep saturated fat to no more than 10 per cent of your daily calories. And, try to keep trans-fat out of your diet altogether. Eating a healthy diet can reduce your risk of heart disease. Two examples of heart-healthy food plans include the Dietary Approaches to KELOWNA

Okanagan Athletics’ field boss Evan Bailey considers them three of the hardest working, most committed players he’s ever coached. The payoff for Trevor Lofstrom, Trevor Mlait and Chase Decosse comes this fall when all three begin their collegiate baseball careers and postsecondary educations south of the border. Lofstrom will head to Texas to attend El Paso Community College, while Mlait and Decosse are set to join the Eastern Utah University junior college program in Price, Utah. “These three guys have been very special to me and to the program over the years, and I’d say in my six years coaching, I’ve never seen anyone with a better work ethic than them,” said Bailey, who took over the A’s in 2010. “These scholarships are their reward and I can’t say enough about them, they’re all very deserving of the opportunity.” Loftstrom has been with the A’s program since Grade 8 and played the last three years in the B.C. Premier Baseball League. The 2015 regular season was his best, as the 6-foot-4, 210-pound first baseman/outfielder
batted .314 with a team high four home runs and 31 runs batted in for the A’s. “I don’t think I’ve had a more intelligent player on any of my teams,” Bailey said of Lofstrom. “He has a very high baseball IQ, he’s eager to learn, he analyzes the game so well and he takes it to the plate with him. “Another asset is his athleticism…as big as he is you don’t know if that’s going to be the case, but he is very athletic and made a lot of things happen on the field.” Lofstrom was a multisport athlete growing up in West Kelowna but always leaned towards baseball and the opportunities it presented. Earning a scholarship at Division 1 junior college in Texas—the same one Evan Bailey attended— is an important and challenging step for an 18-year-old from Canada. “I’m nervous and excited about it at the same time,” said Lofstrom, whose older brother Morgan was a product of the A’s program and was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds. “I’m going to be meeting a bunch of guys for the first time, from all over the States, places like Mexico and Venezuela… it’s a chance to see how I measure up and hopefully
prove to myself that I’m ready and capable to play at this level. I really hope it’s a good experience.” Mlait battled injuries this season but when healthy was one of the most effective lead-off hitters in the PBL. The 5-foot-8 centre fielder led the A’s with a .352 batting average and scored 20 runs in just 24 games. “He’s a hard-nosed, tough kid who would run through a wall for you,” Bailey said of Mlait. “His biggest asset is his speed, he can run and he uses that very well on the bases and in the outfield. “He’s a gritty kid who loves the game does things the right way. There aren’t a lot of player you get like him, and when you do get one it keeps you around.” Decosse, who will join Mlait at Eastern Utah University, played two seasons with the A’s and, according to Bailey, simply got better with each week. A bonafide run producer, the 18-year-old catcher from Penticton stole 31 bases and scored 37 runs while hitting .280 this season. “He was struggling a little to make the adjustment to two falls ago when he joined us, but he stuck with it and really just kept improving all the time,” Bailey said

He’s plays hard, gets on base, steals bases, he’s not afraid to get this nose dirty.” “These three guys were all leaders,” added Bailey, “hard workers, producers…they have meant a lot.”
A’S IN LANGLEY FOR PLAYOFFS…
Lofstrom, Mlait and Decosse all hope their PBL careers will extend beyond this weekend.
To make that happen, the A’s will need to upset the hometown Langley Blaze in their first-round playoff series. Okanagan will visit the Blaze in a best-ofthree series beginning on Saturday. Langley finished fourth in the PBL with a 28-16 record, while the A’s were fifth at 24-20. The Blaze took three of four meetings between the teams during the season and is expected to give the A’s all they can handle.
“They’re tough for us to match up against, they’re deep on the mound with three or four good starters,” said Bailey. “They’re not going to beat themselves, they usually hold you to one or two runs, and they have a high-powered offence. You’ve gotta be on your game, keep errors down because runs are at a premium.” On the other hand, as the A’s have seen in the past, anything can happen in a short series. “No matter who
you’re playing, you go into a series expecting to win,” Bailey added. “In a best-of-three you just really need to get hot for about five hours and who knows what can happen. If we do the small things right, we have a chance. If it was a best-of-seven, we wouldn’t have the depth…in a short series, we’ve got a shot.” The series winner this weekend will head to Nanaimo next week for the PBL’s final four championship tournament.

VOC tournament well supported VOC FROM A22 At Lombardy Park, the VOC Chargers— consisting of players from West Kelowna and Rutland—took second spot after dropping the final game 7-1 to the Okotoks Outlaws. The Chargers reached the final after a solid weekend of baseball which saw them post a 3-1 record in the round robin, including wins over St. Albert, Surrey and Kelowna. For a team that had only four practises together, the Chargers were pleased with the result. “We had six boys from West Kelowna and six from Rutland and a lot of them had never played together before,” said Chargers coach Jeff Bligh. “They really gelled as a team in a short time, so what they accomplished on the weekend was great.” In the peewee A division, Rutland captured the silver medal. Rutland, which posted a 4-1 record in the round robin, reached the final before losing 12-5 to Ladner. Rutland earned wins over Surrey, Kelowna, Victoria and PoCo. A total of 68 teams competed in eight divisions over the course of the 14th annual event, playing on 15 different diamonds at Edith Gay, Lombardy, Boucherie, Mission sports fields and

Bantams showcased in Kelowna Lacrosse was in the spotlight in Kelowna over the weekend as the city played host to the B.C. Lacrosse provincial bantam championships. Thirty teams, including two from Kelowna, competed in four divisions at Memorial Arena, Prospera Place and Kal Tire Place in Vernon. It was the first time in 18 years the Kelowna Minor Lacrosse Association had hosted a provincial championship and by all accounts generated a bit of a buzz around the city.
“I believe it will be a boost to lacrosse in Kelowna, a lot of people walking by the venues we’re asking about it, and there seemed to be a lot of interest,” said Todd Johnston, who handles recruitment and public relations for KMLA. “Hopefully this will create more interest in the game in the future.” On the floor, there were four divisions of play, with Ridge Meadows winning the A1 provincial title, Surrey taking A2, Shuswap winning the B, and Vanderhoof taking
the C category. The host Kelowna Kodiaks had teams entered in both the A2 and C divisions. The 2015 B.C. finals came to the city at a time when the sport in Kelowna is experiencing a bit of a resurgence. This season, for the first time in recent memory, the KMLA had three full teams at the novice level (under 10). “The numbers are coming up at the grassroots level and that’s what’s encouraging,” said Johnston.

Kaylin Ferguson has signed on to play for the UBC Okanagan Heat women’s soccer team this fall. Joining coach Claire Paterson’s 2015 recruitment class, the 5-foot-5 Ferguson is a dynamic player expected to bring some offensive punch in the midfield and at the forward position. “Kaylin came very highly recommended from her high school varsity coach and after getting to see her play I can understand why,” said Paterson of the newest addition to a squad entering their second tour in Canada West. “She is a quick, explosive player with good technical ability and a composed finisher inside the 18. I am glad she has decided to stay in Canada and venture out west.” Ferguson hails from Pickering, Ont., out of Dunbarton High School while playing for several club teams over the years.
Kaylin Ferguson
Most recently she made a name on the Ajax FC ’96 Red team, playing a year up. The crafty recruit brings an impressive resume that includes the 2013 NEWSS GU17 Showcase White Championship. In 2014, the biggest year yet for Ferguson, she appeared at the Umbro Top Rated Showcase in Toronto for a second straight year, picked up championships at the Dunbarton Early
Bird and LOSSA Sr. Girls competitions, and wrapped up with a silver medal at the Ontario AAAA girls championships. While not competing on the pitch, she is also a coach and skills trainer for younger groups in the Ajax FC. Hoping to post even bigger years while in Heat uniform, the current captain of the Dunbarton team will be looked to bring some offensive zing for a young Canada West squad needing to find ways to beat the brutish defenses of their more senior competition. “I know university soccer is going to be hard work but I am ready for the challenge and eager to become a contributing member of the team,” Ferguson said. Ferguson intends to enroll in an arts degree pursuing Psychology or English, with aspirations for an education degree as well.

James R. Holtz It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of James R Holtz on Saturday, July 18th in Grand Forks, B.C. following complications from kidney cancer. Jim was born May 2, 1946 in Moline, Illinois. He attended Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire and received a BA from Augustana College in Rock Island, Ill. In 1968, unable to condone the war in 9ietnam, he came to Canada with his Àrst wife, Carol. The U.S.’s loss was Canada’s gain. Jim completed his B.Ed at UBC and taught English and Theatre Arts at George Elliot Secondary School in :inÀeld for years. 'uring this time, he and Carol raised two exceptional daughters, Susan and Rebecca, both of whom Jim was extremely proud. In 1991 Jim remarried and enjoyed 26 amazing years with his second wife Judy Morrice. They loved and complemented each other, enjoying their wonderful friends, their cabin on Shuswap Lake, their acreage in Grand Forks and on many sailing vacations. Theirs was an exceptional love that both he and Judy felt was a rare gift indeed and Judy will treasure always. A man with many interests, Jim was an avid sailor, both racing and for pleasure and was a past Commodore at Kelowna Yacht Club. He was also a motorcycle enthusiast who enjoyed riding throughout his life. In addition he was a coach, a poet, a novelist, a playwright and a gifted actor and director. Truly a renaissance man. Throughout his illness Judy rarely left his side, and together with his daughters, was with him at the end. He will be greatly missed by Judy, Susan and Rebecca, by Rebecca’s two sons, Logan and Luke, grandsons who Jim loved dearly. He will also be mourned by a host of friends who will miss his laughter, his stories and wonderful dry humour. A celebration will be held at Kelowna Yacht Club, 1 :ater Street, Kelowna from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, July 2 to honour Jim with humour and fond memories. Condolences may be sent to jimholtzfamily#gmail.com .

CENTRAL OKANAGAN
Ways to pay off mortgage quickly
The Kelowna real estate market is improving, thanks to Okanagan buyers.
CONTRIBUTED
Real estate builds momentum Okanagan home buyers driving residential market Okanagan residents appear to be picking up the slack in the Kelowna real estate market. While out-of-province buyers in Alberta and Manitoba recover from the recent decline in oil prices, Quincy Vrecko & Associates is reporting brisk activity in the Central Okanagan heading into summer. According to the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board (OMREB) statistics for the month of June, year-to-date residential unit sales for the central region rose 13.1 per cent compared to the same period (January through June) last year. “The market’s doing really well and we’re starting to see prices creeping up as well,” said Tracey Vrecko, a Kelowna realtor who anticipates the market will continue to strengthen as the year progresses. “There doesn’t seem to be any evidence of it slowing down. We finally have the excitement in our industry that sales are healthy.”
Vrecko says much of the activity this year is the result of Okanagan residents who are either firsttime homebuyers, or are moving up the property ladder. And while sales in the $1 million-plus category have gotten off to a slower start this year, Vrecko says a flurry of activity in the $600,000 range has helped make up for it. “It’s been an interesting shift in where our buyers are from,” she says. “It’s been driven by residents in the Okanagan.” However, with the annual influx of out-of-town visitors to the Okanagan underway, Vrecko anticipates more movement in the luxury market. Many vacationers use their summer holidays as an opportunity to view Kelowna real estate and gauge market conditions. With the region’s climate, abundant outdoor activities and laid-back lifestyle, she isn’t surprised to see people wanting to relocate to the area.
“People come here to the Okanagan in the summer and fall in love,” says Vrecko. “The area sells itself—we often see people return here to purchase their dream home.” Vrecko adds that a relatively low inventory (there are 10.1 per cent fewer residential homes on the market compared to last June), coupled with high buyer demand, has greatly reduced the amount of time listings are staying on the market. In June, the average residential home took just 59 days to sell, a 9.5 per cent drop from the 65 days it took last June. The result is potential homebuyers now have less time to decide whether they want to make an offer, as competition for housing increases. “Homes are being bought up quite quickly and we’re starting to see multiple offers happen,” says Vrecko. “If you’re worrying about values going up, this is definitely the time to buy.”
When we take out a new mortgage, consolidating debt into your mortgage or just renewing with your current financial lender, it is always imperative to find ways to pay your mortgage off quicker. Most of us think of taking having a mortgage amortized over 25 or the longest period possible. After all, the faster you pay down your mortgage the quicker your net worth increases and gives you greater equity in your property. There are many lenders with different prepayment options. Some will allow you to pay up to 15% or 20%, without penalty once each year of term of the mortgage. Also, they will also have the option of increasing your payment by up to 15% to 20%. For the 20% model here is an example of what can be done: Should you take out a mortgage $200,000 and amortize it over 25 years with a term of 5 years at 2.64% you will have a monthly principal and interest payment of $909.94. You have the option of paying off $18,000 each year which will reduce the principal $90,000 over the 5 year term. By taking advantage of the 20% annual payment increase of $181.99 per annum, should you do that in the second through fifth year, that equates to an extra principal reduction of $8,735.52 in principal reduction. So, the total extra reduction in principal over the 5 year term would be $98,735.52. If you can’t take advantage of the full 20% options, the terms will state you can increase your payments of put lump sum amounts down “up to 20%” of the principal or payment amounts. So, if you can only put down 5% per annum on the principal or increase your payments by up to 5%, do that and you will still save interest costs over the span of the mortgage. Another interest saving method for you is to have accelerated weekly or bi-weekly payments. In the example above, should you decide to take the accelerated bi-weekly payments, you would make a $454.70 every 14 days and would reduce the 25 year amortization down to 22.38 years. As you can witness by the information above, the faster you pay off your mortgage the less interest you’ll pay and the quicker the equity will increase in your most expensive asset: your home. Should you have any questions whatsoever please consider taking the time to call us to give us the opportunity to go over all of your options. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Darwyn Sloat, 250-718-4117; Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324 and Christine Hawkins, 250-826-2001.
