n 1955, Bob Ahrens and his wife camped in the old apricot orchard where Bear Creek empties into Okanagan Lake—on their honeymoon. It didn’t cost them anything. Today, families line up along Westside Road in summer waiting for a campsite to come open at the popular 178-hectare provincial park, which Ahrens would have liked to recommend for acquisition by the government, if funds were not so limited. It did later become one of the jewels in the province’s crown of parklands in the Okanagan. See story A3. JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS

FROM THE pristine grandeur of alpine lakes like Ladyslipper in Cathedral Provincial Park in the south of the valley, rock cairns such as this are

just one of the types of trail markers used to highlight natural features that are jewels in the crown of B.C. Parks, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.

Diverse features of B.C. Parks worthy of being celebrated from A1 Acquired first was a property recommended by Ahrens, the Miller family orchard between Peachland and Summerland, where campsites are constructed in tiers dropping down to Okanagan Lake from the highway, in the 98-hectare twin campgrounds of Okanagan Lake Provincial Park. It was created in 1955 and is of great personal satisfaction to the now-retired B.C. Parks administrator. Ahrens trained in forest engineering, but decided he wanted to save some of the big trees instead of taking them down, so he moved over to the new parks division of the ministry of forests and in 1949 got the position to select potential parks in the province. “We planned to create a system that would be adequate for 4.5 million people,� he recalled, laughing that some people referred to them at the time as “cloud-nine wooly-heads.� However, they persevered in a task that he found a delight to undertake, even if it was frustrating at times to make progress. “In the Okanagan, we found land had been settled early on, and many potential beach properties were already gone,� he said. Although Cathedral Provincial Park was first proposed by the B.C. Naturalists’ Association in 1940 as a park, it wasn’t until 1968 that about 8,000 hectares of today’s

PROVINCIAL PARKS such as Fintry (photo above) all offer at least one outstanding natural feature, another

reason to celebrate this year’s 100th anniversary of B.C. Parks. Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park is one of the newer jewels added to the B.C. Parks crown. It includes not only stunning natural features, but also heritage ones such as the tunnels carved out of solid rock (lower photo) to permit passage of the historic Kettle Valley Railway steam trains and wooden trestle bridges high above Myra Canyon. total of 33,272 hectares was made park. Adjoining it is the 70,884-hectare Manning Provincial Park, which was created in 1941, as well as the more-recent addition, the Snowy Protected Area. Large wilderness parks adjoin them across the international boundary. Today, Ahrens is concerned that there’s nothing harder for the human animal to do than leave something alone. “We had an opportun-

It was based on modifying natural features as little as possible,� noted Ahrens. “We saw we had an opportunity the rest of the world didn’t have. We still had choices—the opportunity to set aside tracts of unmodified nature. “However, the pressure is always on to develop; to find ways to

B.C.’s network of parks represent not only what the bureaucrats believed were important additions to the system, but also what grassroots volunteer organizations lobbied to have included. A good early example of this is the 10,462-hectare Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park which was set aside in 1973, at the urging of the Okanagan-Similkameen Parks Society, which also advocated for enlarging Cathedral, an effort that was successful in 1973.

The 100th anniversary of B.C. Parks is not going unnoticed in the Central Okanagan. Fintry Fair, an old-fashioned arts and crafts fair with live music and kids’ games will be held on the lawn of the manor house Saturday, July 16, from 8:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. An early bird breakfast of pancakes and all the trimmings will run from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. when the fair will be officially opened by James Cameron Dun-Waters and the Kalamalka Highland Pipe Band. A number of dignitaries will say a few words, including MP Ron Cannan, MLA Ben Stewart and cabinet ministers Steve Thomson and Barry Penner, regional district chairman Robert Hobson, as well as B.C. Parks officials. Artists and artisans will open their booths and offer everything from hand-painted feathers to antiques for sale at 20 sites around the lawns, while children are invited to play organized games, have their faces painted and visit the firemen with their pumper truck. At lunchtime, Lake Country mayor James Baker and his crew will fire up the barbecues and offer incredible edibles for sale to the crowd. Live music from the manor house verandah will be featured all afternoon and there will be historical tours of the manor house and its museum, and the heritage barns. Admission is by donation; tours are $5 for adults and all proceeds will go towards the continued restoration and maintenance of the heritage buildings. A raffle of donated arts and crafts will be held at the end of the day.

Park included in B.C.’s crown of jewels, because it represents such a wide range of representative Okanagan eco-systems, from alpine to near valley bottom. That new park also includes the spectacular and historic Myra Canyon trestles, which Derek Thompson remembers first coming up many years previous. “People thought we were crazy when we first floated the idea of protecting the trestles in a park,” he recalls. Thompson joined B.C. Parks in 1973 and left in 1994. He is now retired and currently a member of the Council of Elders for B.C. Parks, a group of retired parks system employees and conservation advocates who volunteer to work to ensure the long-term well-

being of the province’s parks. He was regional planner for the interior of the province for a time and says he loves the parks and wants to see them well-managed. Healthy parks make healthy people, he believes. He notes that the Central Okanagan Regional District has an incredible system of parks, thanks to people like Bill Eaton and Robert Hobson. Now, he says, it is vital that we are committed to protect what we have and “keep the jewel glowing.” “We need to find a way to maintain what we have,” he added. That’s a concern of one of the Okanagan’s more-recent parks managers, Drew Carmichael, who retired last year. “We’re well-endowed

but Wrinkly Face and Browne Lake Park were added in 2004, and Trepanier and Graystokes in 2001, along with MyraBellevue. “Myra-Bellevue has a combination of lower elevation values, plus historic, cultural and recreational features. Then there’s the alpine area of Little White Mountain, and there’s very little true alpine in the Okanagan Basin,” noted Carmichael. His concern now is maintenance of such areas in a natural state, and he feels strongly that controlled burns should be done regularly in Okanagan Mountain Park or uncontrolled wildfires such as occurred in 2003 could re-occur. The 2003 wildfire also restored the natural grasslands in the park, so that now there is the largest wild goat population in the park since European contact, even though populations in the rest of the province are down. Transplanted bighorn sheep, as well as elk and mule deer populations are also flourishing, as are coyotes and cougars, See Diverse A5

Diverse from A4 he notes. In the past decade ,volunteer support for provincial parks has been integral to their continued maintenance, noted Carmichael, with groups such as FOSS and the Friends of Fintry doing what the province has been unable to do, with tight money and meagre resources. Purchase of Fintry involved funding from both CORD and the province to protect both the historic granite manor house and the rare octagonal dairy barn, along with the historic lakefront packinghouse and other outbuildings. The park, with more than two kilometres of waterfront, a series of spectacular waterfalls on Shorts Creek, and a number of other natural and heritage features, is 361 hectares, plus 523 hectares of adjoining protected area and it was purchased in 1995. The volunteer FOF and provincial parks have been working together in the past decade, restoring buildings and creating a museum in the manor house with donated items appropriate to the Victorian era of its heyday, early in the last century.

City takes insurance payout and won’t replace City Park pavilion Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

The burned-out shell of the former Pavilion Building in Kelowna’s City Park will be demolished and the land it sits on reclaimed as part of the park. But according to the city, the demolition of the one-time restaurant, formerly City Of Kelowna offices, public washrooms and a concession stand, will not occur until after the Labour Day weekend in September. City risk man-

ger Lance Kayfish said Thursday now that the city council has approved removing the building and not replacing it, plans will be made for the demolition. Kayfish said the original desire was to have the remains of the structure removed before the heart of the summer but that was not possible. When the building is removed, the nearby kids’ water park will have to be closed, he said, so it was decided to delay the removal until the early fall. When the removal

takes place the water park is expected to be closed for about three weeks. Meanwhile, the burned out building is fenced off and there is 24-hour security to keep people out of what remains of the building. Kayfish said the plan is to leave some concrete elements for people to sit on and cover the rest of the site where the building stood with grass sod. Other, smaller buildings will be built at other locations in the park to provide new pubic washrooms and a new conces-

sion stand. As for the office space that the Pavilion Building afforded the city, it will be replaced by reconfiguring existing space in City Hall, said Kayfish. The city expects to get between $1.1 and $1.4 million as an insurance settlement as a result of the fire that destroyed the pavilion earlier this year. The estimated cost to replace the building would have been $1.8 million said a report that went to council earlier this week.

NEWS W KELOWNA AIRPORT

Economic significance growing W Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Kelowna now has the numbers to back up it’s claim that its airport is a significant economic driver in this region. According to an economic impact study commissioned by the airport, Kelowna International Airport had a total economic impact for the province of $610 million in 2010. Locally, the direct impact of the airport and the business that operate at it contributed $300 to local economy last year. Part of the total impact included accounting for 2,730 direct and indirect jobs. The airport, and it’s associated businesses on site accounted directly for 1,400 of those jobs, generating $70 million in wages and benefits. Some 83 per cent of the jobs at the airport are full-time positions. “The report shows the airport is a significant economic player,” said YLW director Sam Samaddar. Unlike many other major airports in Canada, the Kelowna airport is owned by the city. It is currently the 10th busiest in the country and last year saw just under 1.4 million passengers pass through its terminal. Earlier this week, the economic impact study was presented to Kel-

owna council. “I am very pleased with the direction of Kelowna International Airport,” said Kelowna Mayor Sharon Shepherd, the chair of the local airport advisory committee. “The numbers in this report reinforce the economic importance this airport has to our city, the Interior of B.C. and to the province as a whole.” Samaddar noted that while the airport is technically a city department, it remains financially selfsupporting and does not rely on taxpayer money to operate. Currently it is embarking on a multi-phase 10-year expansion plan, with the immediate emphasis on the next five years as it hopes to increase it’s passenger numbers to 1.6 million per year. The expansion is being funded through the facility’s airport improvement fee. The report, the first time an overall economic impact of the airport has been measured, shows the facility not only stands on its own and generates an significant economic output, it also helps other industries here particularly trade and tourism. Samaddar said he was particularly interested to read in the report that the daily flights to Calgary alone account for a surprising total of 16 person years of employment

and $950,000 in wages per year at YLW. “To me, that was a real eye opener,” he said. The information in the report is expected to be a huge benefit for businesses trying to sell this market in other part of the country and the world. Kelowna International Airport offers 62 daily non-stop commercial flights with Air Canada, Alaska Airlines, Central Mountain Air and WestJet to Vancouver, Victoria, Prince George, Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, and Seattle, including seasonal service to Las Vegas, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta and Cancun. Passengers travelling to major airports such as Vancouver, Seattle and Toronto can then catch flights that will take them to other locations around the world. In some cases, such as with Alaska Airlines flying to Seattle, booking can be made directly from Kelowna with the same airline. In recent years, as Kelowna’s airport has become much more of a regional hub, nearby communities with their own smaller airports, such as Kamloops and Penticton, have seen passenger driving to Kelowna to fly out of the airport here, said Samaddar. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Better weather ahead Winery expansion upsetting means head outside W INCREASED TRAFFIC

Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Plans by the owner of West Kelowna’s Mission Hill Family Estate Winery to add a hotel, restaurant, wellness centre, guest cottages and a brewery to land he owns adjacent to the existing winery have hit a road block in the form opposition to increased traffic the expansion will create in the neighbourhood. Residents living near the winery say they already have to contend with trucks traveling up their streets to the winery at all times of the day and night, and say without an alternate route traffic is only going to get worse. At a recent public hearing for the development, which attracted close to 200 people, most who spoke during the 4 1/2hour meeting expressed the same sentiment—if not for the lack of an alternative route, they would likely support the plan to build the upscale resort. “I would say 90 per cent would support it if there was an alternative route,� lawyer Tom Smithwick told West Kel-

owna council during the public hearing. He said he was hired by 76 residents in the area to represent their views. “Let’s make this a winwin situation. Find an alternate route.� But winery owner Anthony Von Mandl said there are only two options for an alternative route and neither is feasible. “We have looked at both,� he said. The first, would be to build a road from the winery across Westbank First Nation land but that is not possible because the WFN has already refused permission. The proposed route, it says, would interfere with its plans for a future reservoir. The other option is to build the road on what has been described as a 45-degree slope. That land is considered far too steep for a road, he said. A traffic consultant hired by Von Mandl’s Mark Anthony Group has done traffic projections, which indicate that while an increase in traffic in the area will occur as a result of the development, it will not be substantial. And the consultant

says traffic calming measures could be implemented by the municipality to reduce speed on some of the residential streets. While most at the public hearing opposed the multi-year, multi-phase development on the slope to the south of the winery, there were some who said they supported it. They said it would be a major boost for the local economy. Von Mandl described the facilities, including the proposed 160-room hotel, as a place for people who are immune to fluctuations of the economy. People, he said, who would fly in this area on their own private jets and be driven to the hotel. But resident after resident rose to say the prospect of 10 years of construction, the added traffic, the increased noise and the speed of additional traffic will wreck their neighbourhood, an area they chose for its quiet tranquility and lake views. Mission Hill is located on top of a hill overlooking Okanagan Lake and part of Lakeview Heights. With its distinctive bell tower, it has become a lo-

cal icon. Von Mandl said when he decided to plant vineyards and build the winery there in the early 1980s, there was opposition because some felt there should be homes build there instead. But now most people like the fact the winery is there. And he said it would be the same for his latest plan. People will embrace the development once they see it. The project, if approved, could cost as much as $100 million over the next 10 years. But many of the residents who spoke at the public hearing said they already have to deal with commercial traffic going to and leaving the winery that keeps them awake at night and is becoming a hazard on streets such as Mission Hill Road, Vineyard Drive and Ridge Boulevard. West Kelowna council will consider the information it was presented at the public hearing and make a decision on whether to allow the phased development plan as presented a a later date. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

t was so cold out when I went walking at 5 a.m. on Thursday, I had to go back for a coat, but hopefully, the rest of this long weekend will be as hot and sunny as forecast—finally. With a little sunshine the many outdoors activities on tap for the next week or so are bound to be fun and successful, and there’s an incredible diversity of stuff to do outdoors. From hiking to studying the inhabitants of ponds, to touring wildflower meadows and gardens that use little water, to celebrations where kids can play games and adults can listen to great entertainment and have fun—it’s all set to be a busy weekend and first week in July. It’s an especially fun time of year to head out into wilderness areas because not only are the wildflowers bright and beautiful now, particularly at higher elevations, but wildlife are all raising young families and it’s great fun to watch their antics. You have to be quiet and still sometimes, but if you are, the rewards can be well worth it. For instance, there are some quail in my yard right now that are the size of golf balls. They roll over the grass with just about the same smooth motion, while mom races after as many as she

W BYLAW

Many will say noise a safety valve To the editor: Re: Boaters and Bikers Warned to Keep It Down, June 28 Capital News. Here is further information on this hot button news item. The City of Edmonton has run into a problem with their noise bylaw. It was challenged in court and the judge threw that challenge out. However, Edmonton’s city council realized that the law had to be amended to prevent further challenges. That procedure is now underway . But what I cannot understand is how Kelowna city council could even consider such a bylaw without knowing, well in advance, how it was to be enforced and having the audio testing equipment on hand. The next letter(s) you read on this subject will be from some bikers, swearing up and down that the noise is their “safety” device. It’s necessary to warn all other vehicles on the road (apparently for miles around). If that hypothesis is correct, every transportation safety agency around the world would be insisting that EVERY vehicle on the road make as much noise as possible! Stuart Morrison, Kelowna

Study confirms good readers do well later in life

S

ome things you just know. They’re common sense. But when statistics and studies come along that confirm what you know, you want to shine a light on the information. There was a moment like that for me this week, when Statistics Canada released results focused on the linkages between reading abilities while you’re young and outcomes later in life. Learning to read, it turns out, is not just a good thing—it is a very good thing. Especially if you learn to do it well while you’re young. In the fashion of studious, learned researchers, the study at hand is called Life-path Outcomes at Age 25 Associ-

SCHOOL’S ated with Reading AbilIN ity at Age 15.

The study drew on a sample of more than 11,000 students that have been followed since 1999. Without going into Allan Coyle details on the how and why, let’s just say that the study showed that the students who had higher reading abilities at age 15 (in 1999) have gone on to enrol, stay and succeed in postsecondary education at a greater rate than those with lower reading levels. They’ve also gone on to earn more money. Common sense? Yup. But surprising? Maybe only because it has been

quantified. Slightly more than half (54 per cent) of those students with below average reading proficiency failed to go on to post-secondary education by the time they were 25 years old. About 61 per cent of those with average reading skills completed post-secondary while 77 per cent of those with above average reading skills completed post-secondary. On the “who is earning what?” scale, development of above-average reading skills means earning more money later. Those with below average reading skills at 15 earned an average of $39,902 annually at age 25. Those with average reading skills earned about $42,580 and those with above-average reading skills brought in about $44,155. The authors note “this difference is particularly noteworthy given that those

below Level 3 (the average range) can be presumed to have been working for several years given their lower levels of educational attainment. These income data suggest, then, that a longer stay in the labour force does not compensate for the financial benefits that accrue to higher levels of educational attainment.” The messages from the study are clear, from my perspective.

W HEALTH CARE

Mandatory blood testing for care receiver not needed if body fluid touches care giver Open letter to Norm Letnick, MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country: Living Positive Resource Centre, Okanagan strongly opposes your private member’s bill that would court order bloodtesting of individuals whose bodily fluids come in contact with emergency service providers. We feel that the introduction of such a bill perpetuates the fear, stigma and misinformation associated with blood-borne infections where a more effective response would involve education rather than a legislated violation of Human Rights. The occupational risk for contracting a bloodborne infection is very low. There have been no documented cases of occupational transmission of tHIV involving firefighters, ambulance attendants, police or correctional staff in Canada. When considering a rneedle-stick injury which, unlike most exposures tthat would be addressed within this bill, involves direct exposure through a

wound which punctures the skin, the risk of contracting HIV from a needle known to contain the HIV virus is only 0.3 per cent. The risk for hepatitis C is slightly higher at approximately three per cent and the risk for hepatitis B, which all responders should be vaccinated against, is the highest at approximately 30 per cent. Again, these numbers represent needle-stick injuries. Exposures that do not involve puncture wounds carry significantly less risk. There is no benefit to mandatory testing for either the emergency workers or those receiving their help. The possibility of exposure to a blood-borne infection can be a stress-filled situation for anybody to endure and individuals should receive adequate counselling and support to assist them through the process, however knowing the status of the source person will neither increase nor lessen the chances of transmission taking place.

Instead, workers should be given the knowledge and tools needed to prevent such exposures from taking place and information regarding the risks and procedures should an incident occur. Within the various articles addressing your justification of this bill, references have been made to the post exposure prophylaxis for HIV, a series of medications with harsh side-effects used to reduce the risk of HIV infection after an exposure. If an exposure was serious enough to warrant the initiation of these drugs, they should not be discontinued based on a negative HIV-antibody test of the source person. In some instances, it may take up to six months from the time of infection for an accurate result to be attained through the test and it is during this period of seroconversion that an individual has the highest concentration of virus in their blood. This means that it is possible for the source person to be HIV positive,

but receive a negative test result. There is no such prophylaxis for hepatitis C exposure and the procedure for addressing a potential hepatitis B exposure in unvaccinated individuals is to administer an appropriate dose of hepatitis B immune globulin along with the vaccination as soon as possible. The test results of the source person should have no bearing on how these instances are handled. In most cases, individuals are willing to give their consent for testing in the case of an accidental exposure. Testing can be a difficult emotional process for anybody to undergo. There may be many important impacts on the source person that need to be considered. Viruses such as HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C still carry a large amount of stigma and those known or presumed to be infected have faced discrimination in employment, housing, insurance and service access. Nobody should feel

hesitant about calling for help in an emergency out of fear of being tested without consent. While we support and encourage testing for all individuals, Living Positive Resource Centre, Okanagan urges you to understand how the bill you have introduced threatens an individual’s rights to privacy and their ability to consent to and have control over actions that affect their health and wellness, while offering no benefit to those exposed. Living Positive also urges you to understand that the introduction of such a bill furthers the fear associated with these viruses and the people who are affected by them and the misconceptions concerning transmission risks. We therefore ask that you reconsider moving forward with this bill. Clare Overton, executive director Sheila Kerr, harm reduction outreach worker, Living Positive Resource Centre

YMCA loses customer Noxious weeds after all-facility fee imposed

r

To the editor: I was disappointed to learn recently that the YMCA on Hartman Road twill be changing their pool admission fees to include the use of the exercise facility. I, for one, do not choose to use this particular facility and question YMCA management, why I and others that do not use this facility are now charged. As with many services we choose to pay for

these days, ie: insurance, telephone, cable etc., the more selections we choose the more we are expected to pay. Not so with the YMCA. I choose to use one facet of their facility, yet I am now being charged for something I will not use. I have been a steady client of this YMCA for over seven years. I thoroughly enjoy the exercise I receive from swimming, but sadly do not agree with the YMCA

management’s decision to structure their admissions in this way. While the “Y” spends more money on trying to attract more people to use their facilities, I will now choose not to use their facilities for this and financial reasons. I will learn to enjoy other less costly alternatives. Heidy Lackner, Kelowna

To the editor: I was most impressed by Gwen Steele’s column on noxious weeds. I believe she has extensive knowledge of weed identification and eradications by means other than chemical sprays. I live adjacent to what, I believe, is the largest weed infestation in Kelowna, namely the park behind the Hospice House, located on Ethel Street between Springfield Road and Sutherland Avenue. This area, without a

doubt, is home to many of the noxious weeds listed in Schedule “A” of the City of Kelowna Noxious Weed and Grass Control Bylaw. I would like to see Gwen and the inspector by the City of Kelowna, as listed in the noxious weed bylaw, carry out an inspection of the area and hope that Gwen could write further columns on the noxious weed situation within the city.

We welcome letters that comment in a timely manner about stories and editorials published in the Capital News.

Coyle from A10 For parents, the message is this: If you want to help your child get a leg up in her or his later development, focus more on reading skills early. Encourage reading. For policy makers, the message is: Find ways to

encourage enhanced development of reading skills early in life. Invest in programs and resources that will move that agenda forward. More students going on to post-secondary education and more people earning more money equates to more income

taxes being paid and fewer demands on the social safety net. Some people would call that return on investment. Sounds like common sense from where I stand. Allan Coyle is the director of public affairs for Okanagan College.

Who says politicians don’t listen to young people—or that students can’t make a difference? Mount Boucherie Secondary school leadership students achieved what few have been able to in prying open the clenched purse strings of District of West Kelowna councillors Tuesday night for new initiatives specifically for young people. And some of the new initiatives definitely weren’t cheap. Top amongst them is a council reversal on hir-

ing another RCMP officer to be a school liaison officer. Mayor Doug Findlater said students asked for it directly. “The RCMP has suggested in the past it might be a good thing but council didn’t go there,” Findlater said. “But hearing the stories from the young people made the real difference. They felt there is a lot of things going on at Mount Boucherie and maybe at middle schools that merited having someone available for young people to approach if they know of people—and they do know people—who are

dealing drugs in the school or in the schoolyard. They really have no one to go to who can enforce it.” The students were aware that Kelowna has liaison officers at Kelowna Secondary and Rutland Senior Secondary and Lake Country has one at George Elliott Secondary and felt it fair that they get the same opportunity. The cost? Close to $200,000 when you include a police car for the officer. But councillors who normally question every expense, barely blinked. The students made their original pitch for the position earlier this year and council agreed to look at the issue. The only source of contention on the issue is how fast it could be done. While council agreed to push it into the 2012 budget, Councillors Rosalind Neis and David Knowles opposed the move only because they wanted it fast-tracked so the officer could be on site by September. Neis is on a committee with Findlater and Coun. Gord Milsom that met with students over the last month. They described emotional and moving meetings that swayed their hearts and minds. “If having a police liaison officer changes things for one kid, the amount of money saved

in family services and crime…is massive,” Neis said. “I would love if the students that were here (could speak again)… they spoke about it more emotionally and realistically than we could reiterate.” As is a norm for West Kelowna councillors, they will be looking to share the costs on a per student residency basis with Peachland and Westbank First Nation. Students also talked about challenges they face on city buses, particularly with certain bus drivers. But more than anything, Findlater said, the students just wanted a voice and council was eager to give it. They agreed Tuesday night to meet with possibly as many as 100 students from Mount. Boucherie for breakfast at the school. They agreed to reserve a night to recognize special students and to offer bursaries to students for academics and citizenship. They will also look at other programming at the district for that demographic. “We felt the recreation and culture department needs to look at program development aimed at that age group other than sports, which we do well at, but we have to look at other options as well,” Findlater said.

h, Canada. What a great country we live in. As I write this column, all MPs, including the prime minister, have just wrapped up more than 48 hours of aroundthe-clock debate on the Canada Post back to work legislation. Canadians sent a strong message on May 2 to complete and protect our economic recovery. That is why we tabled the Restoring Mail Delivery for Canadians Act to ensure resumption and continuation of postal services. With no sign of the two sides finding agreement, our government was concerned about the effect the Canada Post stoppage was having on Canada’s economic recovery and on Canadians. I heard all kinds of stories from constituents as to how this strike was affecting them: businesses couldn’t ship their goods or receive payment, important personal documents delayed people’s emergency travel and more. Ultimately, for all Canadians, including postal workers who were going without pay, our government acted to protect the public interest and

Ron Cannan the country’s economy as a whole. So, with some key legislation passed, including the budget and the Fair and Efficient Criminal Trials Act, Parliament has recessed for the summer and I am back to work in the riding. It’s hard to believe that it is already the end of June and Canada Day is upon us. It’s one of the busiest weekends on my schedule and I am looking forward to the opportunity to connect face to face with as many of you as possible at the various activities taking place in the riding. On July 1, I will be up and out at 8 a.m. to support the Lake Country Rotary pancake breakfast and a Root Beer garden by the Lions. Entertainment includes the Lake Country Big Band,

a variety of local talented musicians, games and rides for the kids and demonstrations by the fire department. At 10 a.m. I will be at the Rotary Centre for the Arts to welcome 94 new Canadian citizens at the citizenship ceremony. At noon, I’ll be at Prospera Place for the official Canada Day opening ceremonies where I’ll be cutting the cake and eating it too.

(CANADA DAY) IS ONE OF THE BUSIEST WEEKENDS ON MY SCHEDULE.

Hope you’ll come down, defy your diet and have a piece as well. Speaking of food, the Taste of Canada food fair will give you a few options if barbequed hotdogs are not your style. The fair will feature over 16 different vendors and foods from around the world. Lots of choices and ethnic flavours—you can’t get more Canadian than that! And what could be a better accompaniment to great food than some great music. A variety of music and entertainment for all ages will go on throughout

the day concluding with the 17th annual Kelowna Pops Orchestra Canada Day spectacular. This popular live orchestral concert will end just in time for audience to enjoy the fireworks. These are only a few of the more than the 50 free activities taking place on Canada Day, which are sure to please festival goers all day long. Canada Day in Kelowna is a true community festival. Many thanks to Festivals Kelowna, Folkfest, the Kelowna Canada Day Concerts Society and all the volunteers who work so hard every year to make this celebration happen. I hope you’ll find the time to come out and enjoy it. For up-to-date information on all Canada Day activities, please go to www.festivalskelowna.com .

Mazzei to head to Tennessee Rockets pick up imports Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Martina Mazzei doesn’t mind that Tennessee is a long way from her home in Kelowna. Actually, it was one of the motivating factors behind the 18-year-old KSS grad’s decision to pursue an education and volleyball career south of the border. Mazzei will attend Bryan College in the small southern city of Dayton, Tenn. on a full-ride scholarship. “I thought of Canadian universities as an option and there are a lot of good ones, but I just wanted a new experience, to go down to the States and try something different,” said Mazzei. “I don’t know much about Tennessee, I know the weather’s pretty nice all-year around. I have mixed feelings, I’m excited and nervous at the same time. It’s something I really want to do.” A right side power hitter, Mazzei is coming off an impressive two seasons of volleyball with the Kelowna Owls. The team captain in 2010, Mazzei helped lead the Owls to wins at the Best of the West and UBCO tournaments, the Okanagan Valley title and a fifth-place showing at provincials. She was named a tournament all-star at both Best of the West and UBCO. “Martina is a highly skilled volleyball player,” said Bryan College coach David Shumaker. “She has a nice jump serve and passes with excellent technique. She is an outside hitter with both

Further, she brings a great deal of passion and excitement to the court.” An NAIA school, Mazzei chose Bryan College for several reasons, including the quality of coaching in the volleyball program and the chance to win a championship in the Appalachian Athletic Conference. A Christian-based institution of about 1,500

students, spiritual fulfillment also played a role in her decision. “I’m looking to get an education, to play some high level volleyball, and to grow spiritually,” she said. “That helped me decide where I wanted to go.” As for wading into the unknown of an unfamiliar school and the culture of the southern U.S., Mazzei admits she’s nervous but

not at all apprehensive. “I’m pretty outgoing and like to meet people, so I’m going to jump right in there. I’m ready to get to know my teammates and classmates the instant I get there.” Mazzei will focus her studies at Bryan College on becoming an elementary school teacher. She leaves for Dayton, Tenn. in August. whenderson@kelownacapnews.com

Kelowna Rockets fans likely remember Latvian import player Lauris Darzins. Now the Rockets are hoping another Latvian will be able to thrill local hockey fans after selecting 17-year-old forward Zemgus Girgensons in the annual Canadian Hockey League import draft on Wednesday. The Rockets picked Girgensons 45th overall in the draft, then later added Slovakian 17-year-old Filip Vasko with the 58th overall pick as they look to fill its two roster spots reserved for import players. Girgensons is from Riga, Latvia, the same home town as Darzins, the scrappy and talented Latvian who skated with the Rockets for two seasons: 2004-05 and 2005-06. Last season Girgensons played for Dubuque in the USHL (Junior A) and by all accounts was hoping to go the college route. But Rockets president and general manager Bruce Hamilton will present the major junior opportunity to Girgensons, after picking the

hard-working 6-foot-1 European with his first selection Wednesday. “There are no guarantees. We’re going to go after him and recruit him,” said Hamilton shortly after making the pick. “We’re hoping we can convince him to come and see us and understand the last Latvian player that played here had a pretty good career here.” That was Darzins, who scored 19 goals as a rookie and had 33 points in his second season before moving on to pro hockey. Darzins spent the past three seasons with Riga, Dynamo in the KHL. As for Girgensons, at just 17 he wasn’t eligible for the NHL Entry Draft this year but some pundits are already talking about him being a potential first round pick next year. In 51 games as a 16-year-old this year he had 21 goals and 28 assists for 49 points

and followed that up with eight points in 11 playoff games for Dubuque while building a reputation as an extremely hard worker. The Rockets went into Wednesday’s draft with just one pick but early in the day made a trade with Portland, acquiring the Winterhawks’ first round pick in the import draft in exchange for Kelowna’s first pick in the 2012 import draft. That landed Kelowna the 58th selection with which they chose Vasko another 17-yearold who had 15 goals and 22 assists in 41 games on his Slovakian Under-20 club team. “From what the NHL scouts are telling me Vasko is a lot like Zach Franko,” said Hamilton. “He’s a little bigger but he has great speed and really good hands so it made sense to take a chance on him.” The Rockets are hoping both Girgensons and Vasko will be in the Rockets lineup this season. They will replace Andreas Stene (Norway) and Gal Koren (Slovenia), both of whom were released following last season.

Everyone gets the thrill of the water in able sailing courses The Able Sail program at the Central Okanagan Sailing Association (COSA) is alive and well, with participation levels at an all-time high. COSA has provided sailing for people with disabilities for the last 18 years and, already this year, the number of sailors taking advantage of this special program is more than double our previous busiest season. COSA president, Steve Brunsden, notes that thanks to some significant program changes and a strong commitment to Able Sail by the club’s executive, the Able Sail program continues to be

one of the best in Canada. “In addition to some significant equipment purchases during the past 24 months, COSA has also continued its commitment to program growth by ensuring that we have some of the best-trained coaches in the region,” said Brunsden. Brunsden also recognizes that COSA’s location, which is easily accessed, is also on one of the quietest, safest areas of Okanagan Lake. But Location isn’t the only reason that the Able Sail program has doubled its numbers. “In addition to offering traditional sailing pro-

grams for people with disabilities, we also encourage sailors to participate in our integrated programs, which have able bodied and disabled sailors boating side by side,” said COSA sailing director Devin Rubadeau. In fact, since the sailing classes started in May, more than 70 youth sailors have already participated in integrated lessons at COSA. Rubadeau also gives credit to the COSA coaches for making the Able Sail program one of the most popular in North America. “Every sailing coach at COSA is trained to

work in the Able Sail program, and is encouraged to spend some time coaching or sailing with the disabled sailors. Able Sail is supported by the entire COSA coaching team, which consists of over a dozen trained and certified coaches with 60-plus years of combined coaching experience, and we find that our sailors enjoy meeting and working with different members of the team.” COSA utilizes two different types of boats, especially designed for disabled sailors. The Martin 16 is a Canadian-built boat, which has the ability

to become joystick driven, not unlike a motorized wheel chair—allowing quadriplegics the ability to control the sailboat easily. COSA also owns an Australian-built Access Dinghy, which is immensely popular with the youth sailors. Both the Access Dinghy and Martin 16 boast removable keels that prevent the boats from capsizing, thereby ensuring sailors of all abilities a safe, fun ride. Anyone wishing to try sailing for their first time can call COSA at 250-764-2203, or e-mail cosa@shaw.ca to schedule a free sail.

Treatment from ancient wisdom helps alleviate headaches

I

am often asked by my patients how traditional Chinese medicine differs from western medicine in the treatment of headaches. The answer is not just about how the treatment is different, but it goes much deeper, right down to the level of the philosophical understanding what causes a head-

medicine (TCM) classifies a headache only as a symptom, not an actual disorder itself. Ancient Chinese healers saw the human body as a dynamic, interconnected network of energy called Qi (pronounced ’chee’). Centuries ago they discovered this vital energy circulated throughout

the body on specific pathways called meridians. Modern science has proven the existence of these electro-magnetic pathways in the body. What western medicine would refer to as illness, TCM would refer to as an imbalance or disharmony of the Qi. According to TCM theory, pain is due to a blockage in the flow of energy (Qi) and/or blood. Depending on the cause and location of blockages, acupuncture points and herbs will be selected to stimulate those areas and rebalance the circulation. The treatment aims to not only relieve the headache pain but correct its cause as well. Practitioners look for a unifying theme through the patient’s entire presentation, not just their distinct symptoms. All patients suffering from headaches are not simply treated the same way. Practitioners iden-

tify and treat the pattern of disharmony that is based on all of the patient’s symptoms, along with their pulse and tongue diagnosis. This helps us to get a deeper picture of what the root of the problem is. As long as the correct pattern is identified, the headaches should be treatable. The approach will be partially determined on the nature of the headache pain (dull, heavy, throbbing, stabbing), the location of the pain (behind the eyes, temples, base of the skull, on one side of the head only, the top of the head), what triggers the headache or aggravates the headache pain (certain foods, weather conditions, emotions, menstruation). Both acupuncture and herbal therapy, on their own or in combination, give excellent results for headaches. Some patients benefit from only

a few acupuncture sessions while others require a longer course of herbal therapy combined with acupuncture. Chronic cases (experiencing symptoms for more than several months) generally take longer, sometimes three to six months of treatment is required for successful results. Acupuncture is an incredibly effective and safe option for people with chronic headaches of all kinds. I often will recommend that patients with chronic headaches commit to treatment once a week for four to six weeks, then assess for progress. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can be used along with other medications to both enhance the effects and mitigate the side effects. There is no need to discontinue western medication while receiving Chinese medicine. However,

many people have, in time, decreased or totally eliminated their reliance on these medications as their condition continues to improve. Recent research in England on the treatment of headaches showing that acupuncture is an effective treatment for chronic headaches, prompted researchers to conclude that introducing acupuncture services could lead to significant long-term benefits for patients with chronic headaches. Research also determined patients who received acupuncture treatment had fewer headaches than patients who did not and made less visits to the doctor and reduced their use of painkillers.

Students learn sculling with rowing club Students from Constable Neil Bruce middle school are a lot more familiar with the sport of rowing due to a new program started this year by the Kelowna Rowing Club. The rowing club facilitated a two-day learn to row program for 60 students from CNB earlier tthis year, introducing the sport of rowing to local school kids. Before heading out

onto the water the students learned the strokes used in rowing using a rowing machine and then went through a health and safety program that included getting to know how to use and activate a personal flotation device. Then it was onto the waters of Okanagan Lake where the students proved very skillful in their techniques and were soon enjoying the lake from a

whole new perspective in a scull rowing boat. David Gadd of the Kelowna Rowing Club says taking the sport to school kids allows children the opportunity to learn a new sport that can be just recreational but also has the potential to produce elite athletes. “The reason for doing this type of program is to introduce the sport to students and to educate them

that rowing is the sport with the most won medals of any sport for Canada in the Olympics,” said Gadd. “Heather Mandoli started her rowing at Kelowna Rowing Club at a Learn to Row program and ended up placing fourth at the Olympics in the women’s eight.” Gadd also said that Kelowna Rowing Club members who volunteered for the group thorough-

ly enjoyed facilitating this event and look forward to welcoming more schools to take part. The club is also encouraging local firms to engage in a team building exercise as the club provides an excellent team building program which can be adapted to any size organization.

Soccer teams tune-up for provincials which start July 7

t t

Kelowna United select and Thompson Okanagan Super Y League soccer teams are heading toward playoffs and provincial championships. Here’s a look at the action from the last week. Kelowna United’s Under-14 girls Red team was at the Baker Blast tournament in Bellingham. The Red made it to the semi-finals with two wins and a tie before meeting the Lake Oswego SC Royals U-15 team out of Oregon. Kelowna held much of the play through the first half but couldn’t

beat the Royals keeper. A long run down the right side by a Royals’ midfielder resulted in the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win over Kelowna to end United’s tournament. The Red placed second. ••• The Thompson Okanagan Football Club’s (TOFC) Under-15 girls team secured the top spot in their age group in the North West division of the Super Y league after a pair of weekend games against Coquitlam on the weekend. On Saturday the teams

drew 0-0 in a hard fought, physical and defensive battle between the top two teams in the division. The teams met again on Sunday to complete their three game season series. Thompson-Okanagan struck with four minutes remaining in the game. Kira Lee delivered an excellent ball via a freekick from 40 yards out enabling Jenna Rever to head the ball past the Coquitlam keeper and earn the 1-0 win. The team’s final effort to win the Pacific Northwest title and qualify

for the North American championship in Tampa, Florida will be a back to back series against Mountain FC in mid-July. ••• The U-14 boys from Thompson Okanagan FC hosted Northwest division leaders Coquitlam MetroFord on Sunday at Beasley Park in Lake Country. Despite winning the battle in the midfield, TOFC was unable to capitalize on any scoring opportunities and the half ended in a scoreless tie. Coquitlam seemed to regroup in the second half

coming out much stronger with more offensive pressure. TOFC keeper Carson Murray held off their scoring opportunities early in the second half when he was tested several times during corner kicks. Eventually, Coquitlam’s s offensive drive would be rewarded as they scored their first goal to take the lead. Ten minutes later TOFC seemed to be caught off guard when the lower mainlnad team sealed the game with their second goal. The game ended 2-0 for CMFSC. •••

In a tense and exciting match the TOFC U-16 B team achieved a notable victory over the current Super Y League North American Champions Coquitlam Metro Ford. This puts the team’s goal of reaching the USL Super Y League finals, for the second time in three years, into their own hands. Matt McHugh again proved lethal in the penalty box, beating the goalkeeper to give the U-16 side the lead at 1-0. McHugh then headed one in to make it 2-0 before

Rostam Turner chipped the advancing goalkeeper superbly to make it 3-0 at the half. Coquitlam raced back in the second half with two straight goals but TOFC was able to close the door and earn the 3-2 win. Coquitlam remains in top spot but TOFC are now only three points behind with two games in hand. The top two teams from the Pacific North West Division of the Super Y league go to the North American Finals in Florida in December.

Markus Thiel over three years to complete. The study also focused largely on people who were considered prediabetic. In the study he found that individuals with the highest serum level of vitamin D had the least chance of developing diabetes whereas those with the lowest vitamin D levels develop diabetes more than twice as frequently. They determined that this was a dose-dependent ratio, meaning the more vitamin D you had in your daily intake the better the odds of not contracting diabetes later in life. The authors were cautious to state that it would be premature to recommend vitamin D specifically for prevention of diabetes until they randomized placebo-controlled trial of vitamin D for the

prevention of type II diabetes can be conducted. Though the study was validated as per the patient’s lifestyle and a placebo was used in its methodology, the results still seemed favourable and the use of vitamin D and its implications towards treating patients that are considered prediabetic. The Mayo Clinic states that Vitamin D is found in many dietary sources such as fish, eggs and cod liver oil. The sun also contributes significantly to the daily production of vitamin D, and as little as 10 minutes of exposure is thought to be enough to prevent deficiencies. The term “vitamin D” refers to several different forms of this vitamin. Two forms are important in humans: ergocalciferol (vitamin D2) and cholecalciferol (vitamin D3). Vitamin D2 is synthesized by plants. Vitamin D3 is synthesized by humans in the skin when it is exposed to ultraviolet-B (UVB) rays from sunlight. Foods may be fortified with vitamin

D2 or D3. The major biologic function of vitamin D is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D aids in the absorption of calcium, helping to form and maintain strong bones. Recently, research also suggests vitamin D may provide protection from osteoporosis, hypertension (high blood pressure), cancer, and several autoimmune diseases. Rickets and osteomalacia are classic vitamin D deficiency diseases. In children, vitamin D deficiency causes rickets, which results in skeletal deformities. In adults, vitamin D deficiency can lead to osteomalacia, which results in muscular weakness in

addition to weak bones. Populations who may be at a high risk for vitamin D deficiencies include the elderly, obese individuals, exclusively breastfed infants, and those who have limited sun exposure. Also, individuals who have fat malabsorption syndromes (e.g., cystic fibrosis) or inflammatory bowel disease (e.g., Crohn’s disease) are at risk. The importance of supplementation with vitamin D cannot be ignored as it has been proven time and time again that it is essential to normal physiological function and important in boosting the immune system.

It’s the perfect place for a band like Blackberry Wood, he explained. Among their CV of odd-ball festivals and quirky almost-hip haunts, the band lays claim to playing a two week stint as artists-in-residence at Caravan Theatre, where they studied clowning, and a brave venture to the Frostbite Festival in Whitehorse, Yukon in February. By comparison, the serene backyard of the Minstrel should literally feel like a walk in a park more than work. Asked what their goal is now that the group appears to be picking up steam—their first two gigs were exactly one year apart—and Mitchell is predictably, though playfully, coy. “World domination,” he says. “I think we can run the world a lot better than a lot of those politicians.” True or not, spontaneity and impulse seem to have won Blackerry Wood a good following. Their last album, Travelling Horse Opry, was remixed by Stephen Drake of the Odds and he is said to be doing the same for the album they’re planning to make this fall. As one might almost expect, the band claims a good friendship with Conduit Festival organizer Gabe Cipes whose family winery sits just up the street from the Minstrel offering Cipes a great space to explore his own circus of alternative and eco-friendly experiences. The band is hoping some of the Conduit crowd hears about the show. One way or the other, the Blackberry Wood concert should make for a fun night of good music and people watching. Blackberry Wood plays the Minstrel Café on July 9.

STAFF REPORTER

“I’m really inspired by vaudeville and minstrel shows,” say Kris Mitchell of Blackberry Wood. It’s kind of an odd sentence when spoken in a surferish drawl between giggles. From the mouths of babes and avant-garde bands one supposes the comment might just be a youthful quirk, but in this case it’s probably an apt description of a muse. One of the key collaborators in the self-described alternative-country-gypsie circus band, which started on Vancouver Island, is trying to describe their, well, very mixed up sound. It's not an easy task. While the label eclectic gets thrown around like jam on toast these days, in the case of Blackberry Wood it might just be spot on. Put five, sometimes six, people on stage with a “rotating cast of a whole bunch of different players” and one has the very West Coast collaborative group known as Blackberry Wood, the latest B.C. band booking the major festival circuit, including Europe’s Glastonbury Festival. Glastonbury is so big it draws 100 million British pounds to the UK with its music, comedy and theatre acts. While the Minstrel Café likely hasn’t seen 100 million anything through its doors, it’s certainly drawing many of the more interesting acts this summer, including the now well-travelled Blackberry Wood collective. The group is likely one of the Minstrel's wackier, though very amusing performer choices. This is their second time playing the little restaurant, though last year the band itself didn’t have much of a chance to advertise and only a small audience got to see

The Regional Board has approved a proposed plan for replacing the deteriorating south breakwater at Okanagan Centre Safe Harbour Regional Park in Lake Country. Subject to approval from the Province and Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Regional District Parks Services will remove the south breakwater and replace it with a new viewing/ recreational pier. As well, a new courtesy dock would be installed to assist boaters. To ensure public safety, the deteriorating north breakwater would be completely closed, pending consultations with the District of Lake Country on future funding, uses and replacement of the structure.

KILLINEY BEACH WATER SYSTEM CONTRACT The Regional Board has authorized a contract for engineering services for the upgrading of the Killiney Beach Water System. The bid of $33,450 excluding HST by CTQ Consultants Limited was the lower of three qualified responses to a request for consulting services proposals.

FISCAL 2010 MANAGEMENT ANNUAL REPORT The Regional Board has received the financial report outlining 2010 remuneration and expenses for elected officials and their alternates along with staff whose remuneration was greater than $75,000. The report also outlines payments to suppliers during 2010 for goods and services exceeding $25,000.

MAY BUILDING STATISTICS During May, 14 building permits were approved for projects worth $914,000 in the Central Okanagan East and Central Okanagan West electoral areas. From January through May this year, 63 permits have been issued by Development Services for construction valued at just over $5-million.

W GRADUATION STRESS

‘Gradding’ season offers challenges for teens and parents

W

hen my 18-year-old daughter asked if she could go to a noclothes party, I thought that’s taking things too far. Now, I’m open-minded about trying new things and I’m a fairly liberal person, but letting my teenage daughter go to a no-clothes party was off the radar. It wasn’t even in the solar system. I gave her the are-youout-of-your-mind? look and said, “I think this one is a pass.” “What?” “Are there boys there?” “Yes, of course. It’s at a guy’s house.” “Not going. No way. I’m not having my daughter naked in a room with a bunch of naked boy teenagers.” She gave me the you’re-off-the-charts-ridiculous-mom look and said, “It’s an anythingbut-clothes party, not a no-clothes party.” “Oh, that makes all the difference…HOW?” “You’re supposed to wear something that’s not clothes, like tin foil or cardboard—not go naked. Geez, mom. What were you thinking?” OK, I admit, I jumped to that conclusion all by myself. It’s what any parent who used to be a teenager would do. These teenage years are tricky times. This year is also grad year, so it’s exponentially the most social, stressful and over-

NUTSHELL

Shelley Nicholl the-top expensive year of your child’s life. Yes, the strollers and playpens add up, but when you have a female graduate, well, it’s like a year-long wedding promenade with formal and semi-formal dresses, a photo here and an event there, and don’t forget the shoes. I used to laugh when parents said their child was “gradding” instead of graduating. Now, I understand. Grad is a verb and a very active one. Many parents experience different thoughts as this year winds up. Some teens are off to faraway places to study at university, like Calgary or Victoria. Some go farther. Others have no idea what they want to do and there is that imminent fear that the teen will be lollygagging at home for years to come. My daughter informed me she wasn’t moving out—she wants to save up, travel and then go to university. All my whispers in her ear “18 and out” when she was tiny obviously didn’t pan out. I’ve made the home too inviting, too comfort-

able. I don’t argue with her enough. I must start turning the heat lower in the winter to get her to leave. I have to forget to buy groceries more often. Years ago, I think I was picturing a 12-yearold staying with me for life. Those were the days when the thought of her even going to a party or concert was ridiculous.

Boyfriends? Are you kidding me? I can’t handle that. But, she’s not a kid anymore. I’m still mom, but she’s an adult. Expectations are different. I fit her shoes now. One day, she will go, (please, please) but I’m OK if she hangs around for a while. She’ll make her mistakes and I’ll still make mine. It’s just that now,

we handle them as two adults. Instead of me telling her I’ll hang her underwear out her window if she doesn’t do her homework, I’ll say something more sophisticated, such as, “Can I make you a cup of tea, while you study your math?” Sometimes we enjoy a cup together and discuss the problems of the world. Who knew that little

kid was developing such an interesting mind? Then, there’s the times when I just stand back and watch her have fun. For the no-clothes party, she worked feverishly to make a Wilma Flintstone dress out of a Glad garbage bag. “You look like trash,” I said. “Very funny.” “Well, have fun and don’t get into trouble.”

She smiled mischievously as she walked out the door. “Mom, it’s a naked party. What could go wrong?” Shelley Nicholl, author of The Case for Having Children…And Other Assorted Irrational Ideas, is owner of Mad Squid Ink, a professional writing service. www.madsquidink.com madsquid@shaw.ca

A Jewish American explores her family’s past in Eastern Europe Linda D. Epstein CONTRIBUTOR

“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveller is unaware.” My aunt showed me this quote by German philosopher Martin Buber she had written on the front page of her travel diary as we boarded our plane in New York City for Eastern Europe. We didn’t realize how true it would be to our own voyage. More than a year ago plans were made between my dad’s sister and our mutual paternal cousin to trav-

el back to “the old country” and see where our ancestors had lived before coming to America. (The first to come over on my father’s paternal side was my grandfather’s uncle in 1871; he changed our family name from Tikotzinski to Epstein.) I have been working on my family’s tree for many years, so my aunt and cousin decided I should be a part of the trip as well. We would travel to Grodno, Belarus, where my grandfather was born (then part of Russia), and Sokolka, Poland, where HIS father was born. We would travel to Minsk, Belarus (also then part of Russia), home of my fath-

Three other major cities were included—Warsaw, Poland; Moscow, and Vilnius, Lithuania—to give us a chance to see the sites there. And thus became our trip. ••• Before World War II, Warsaw was a major center of Jewish life and culture, with one-third of the population consisting of Jews. The Jewish com-

munity of 394,000 was the largest in both Poland and Europe and second largest in the world. From October 1939 to January 1940, the Germans began their antiJewish measures—prohibiting Jews from riding in public transportation, requiring them to wear the Jewish star, and conscripting them into forced labor. In April 1940, the ghetto construction began. Thirty percent of Warsaw’s population was to be confined to an area that comprised of just 2.4 percent of city lands. Christians were moved out of the area as Jews from Warsaw and other outlying areas

‘I realized then how special it was to be in this town’ History from A24 as of some of the Jewish people who lived there. We also were given our own screening of 912 Days of the Warsaw Ghetto, a sobering documentary about the ghetto and eventual extermination of the Jews. “I can still see their faces” is a project created by Golda Tencer, a Polish actress with Jewish origins. Two rows of old tenement houses in the center of the city, dating from 1880-1900, show what Warsaw probably looked like before the war and ultimate destruction of the city. Tencer appealed for people to send in photographs of Polish Jews so that an exhibition could be created commemorating those who died. These large photographs hang on the outer buildings’ walls for everyone to see the diversity of Polish Jewry. Our Polish guide drove us to Sokolka, about six hours from Warsaw. Our first stop in Sokolka was the train station, to get our tickets for the next day’s trip to Grodno. In my notes on the family, I knew that my great-greatgrandfather worked with coal. In the lot in front of the station was a huge truck transporting coal; I realized then how special it was to be in this town. Sokolka, with a population of 28,000, is in the eastern part of Poland bordering Belarus, and is situated on the international road and train route Warsaw-Bialystok-Grodno. In the center of town is a museum devoted to the history of Sokolka. We saw frooms full of costumes and crafts of the town. From there we walked several blocks to an old cemetery on a hill. I stood among the few headstones remaining, which were all

worn away except for one that still had a faint Hebrew inscription. I sat down and cried, knowing that I had spent the afternoon where my grandfather, his father and his father had walked and lived. ••• From Sokolka we took the train to Grodno. A visa is required to enter Belarus, which we had applied for and received before our trip. It took almost an hour for the visa check and upon arrival in Grodno we were told we had to buy health insurance for four euros before entering. Although the passport agents were very brisk, we found that the power of a smile overcame the language barrier. Belarus had the highest per capita mortality of the occupied countries in World War II. Every family lost someone in the war. There is a different understanding of the Holocaust there and more Jews were hidden (again, per capita) than in any other country. There is no history of pogroms (violent riots) and everyone maintains that they have some Jewish blood in them. In the 1870s Belarus became part of the Russian Empire; before that it was Polish. In 1921 it reverted to being part of Poland and in 1939 it fell into Russian hands. Grodno was not badly damaged in World War II as it came under German occupation on June 23, 1941—the first day of Operation Barbarossa, when Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Grodno, in western Belarus, has a population of more than 300,000. The city is naturally divided into two districts by the Neman River. The left bank district was built up mainly after the war. The right bank is comprised of the historical center, with architectural and cultur-

I had always hoped to see their headstones, but we were unsure whether the cemetery was still standing or was in disrepair. As it turns out, the cemetery— in the “Zaniemanshi Forshtat” area of Grodno— was in very good condition. A caretaker lives on the grounds and the cemetery is behind a wall and locked gate. Volunteers have been lifting and resetting the stones that had fallen over. We weren’t able to find the exact grave locations, as the cemetery no longer is organized in aisles and rows of plots, but we stood looking over the area where people from that era are buried. Beyond our wild-

est dreams was the stunning connection we were able to make by spending a day with Gregory Hosid, a native Grodno Holocaust survivor, who led us to the site of the destroyed Zanemanye wooden synagogue where my grandfather remembered playing in the balcony as a child. It stood in what was the Jewish neighborhood of Grodno-Forshtat (“before the city”), an elevated area on the banks of the Neman River. Zanemanye meant “behind the Neman

River.” We were overcome to be standing where we believed my grandfather lived as a child. Hosid told us his personal story, of how he had jumped from the train that was taking him to the Treblinka death camp and hid in the woods. He ran into another refugee in the snow, a man whose wounds he cleaned, a shoemaker who fixed Hosid’s shoes, and in turn they saved each other’s lives. They joined up with the partisans to fight

f one is never too old to learn, then it’s reasonable to suggest, likewise, that one is never too old to teach. Certainly my aunty Rae is living testimony to that thinking. Last Saturday, Tez and I had the pleasure of joining more than 60 other folks in wishing my Aunty Rae a happy 90th birthday. Suffice to say, few people had more fun at the celebration than us— with the possible exception of Rae. That’s part of what makes her such an outstanding human being, quite simply the very best aunt in the world. She exudes kindness and mirth. Rae has always been able to find the sunny side to everything and the ability to make any gathering that much more fun. She is my hero. Rae Banner was one of just three children born in Penticton to Reg and Daisy Atkinson, sharing her parent’s attention with brother Roy and sister (my mom) Doris. As a young man, Reg had joined hundreds of other Okanagan Valley lads in defending the Commonwealth in World War I. Grandpa was seriously wounded and returned to Canada with pieces of shrapnel in his body and

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge a number of mental and emotional scars that never really went away. He came home with a no-nonsense attitude towards life. Partly because of that, growing up in Penticton in the early 1900s was neither easy nor dull for Rae and the rest of the Atkinson children, particularly with all the farm chores that one faced. Hard work was something the family new well, and in many ways it kept them healthy and happy though certainly not wealthy. However, the ravages of war were not done with the Atkinson family as Rae’s only brother went overseas in World War II. It turned out to be a one way trek. Roy Atkinson and his tank crew never left the battle fields of Italy. Rae and Doris never fully recovered from the loss of their beloved gentle brother. Yet somehow, the two girls managed to not allow the tragic loss to destroy their gregarious and

loving nature. Eventually, Rae married a dashing young pilot named Charles Banner. After Charlie returned from the war, the couple settled in Vernon—and never left. My sweet aunt raised four fine children who have since provided her with grandchildren—all of whom have also been lucky enough to know her love and gentle nature. As a child, my cousins had to put up with me as the annoying young brat that hung around them during summers at the beach campsite. When I wasn’t driving them nuts by following them around like a puppy dog, I was busy trying to dominate the attention of my favourite aunt. Aunty Rae and my mother were the best of friends—truly two peas of the same pod. It was of great debate in the family which one of the two Atkinson girls could talk the most. I think my mom barely won—but it was certainly close. No telephone conversation ever lasted less than an hour. Rae was always there for my mom. My mother would rarely succumb to depression or tears despite her harsh challenges in life. But whenever she did it was Rae who was

there to be a shoulder to lean on. When my mom died, my world collapsed. Even though I was supposedly a ‘mature’ man, the loss for me was devastating. Once again it was Rae who was there to help, share her wisdom and love, and make things feel better again. All my life I have looked up to my Aunt Rae for her lust for life and joy of heart. Last week, as I looked around the room of people who had made the effort to share her special day, it dawned on me how many friends she had for someone of age 90. The age demographics were vast, but the one common denominator was how much they all clearly loved Rae. I grinned as she spryly moved from one shaking hand and hug to another and actively exchanged stories and laughs—sharing a special few minutes with every person. I marvelled at her spirit, her patience, and her kindness and I realized she was giving us all another lesson in precisely how it is that we should move through this world —with pleasure, purpose and passion. God bless you Aunty Rae! hodgepodge2@shaw.ca

Okanagan Lake remains higher than normal as we enter the Canada Day holiday weekend. While the level has been dropping this week, the lake still remains above full pool. As a result, the Central Okanagan Emergency Operation Centre asks all boaters to keep their speeds and wakes down as they approach or travel near the shoreline. That will help to reduce any erosion caused by wave action. As well, all boaters should continue to watch for and avoid floating debris carried into the lake during the spring runoff season. Residents and waterfront property owners should continue to leave any wood debris along local beaches and waterfront areas in an effort to reduce erosion from wave action. And property owners living adjacent to area creeks and streams should continue to monitor nearby water levels.

I will be talking about the many plants that are in bloom in each of the five theme gardens. And answering questions. This is a great opportunity to see the lush, colourful plants that thrive without irrigation in the Mediterranean, native plant and rock gardens. Some species in bloom in the Mediterranean garden include Oenothera missouriensis (Missouri evening primrose), nepeta walker’s low and lavender. By next week the Ger-

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele man statice should be in bloom and the thread-leaf coreopsis. The native garden has mock orange and ocean spray shrubs blooming as well as brown-eyed Susans. The rock gardens have abundant blooms on several varieties of groundcover sedum (stonecrop) and well as the sempervivims (hens and chicks). The thrift plants that produced masses of deep pink pom poms in ear-

ly spring were dead-headed about a month ago and are now beginning to bloom again. The blue fescue grasses in the rock gardens are blooming and will need to have their flowers trimmed before they go to seed or we will have baby plants everywhere. We are just turning the irrigation on this week for the butterfly garden and the taller section of the ornamental grass garden. The plants in these gardens need a small amount of water through the hot, dry weather. The yarrows and Salvia I wrote about a few weeks ago are still blooming abundantly. The echinacea and rudbeckia should begin showing colour by next

week. Two types of low bluebells are covered in flowers and the threadleaf coreopsis are just starting to open. Stella d’Oro daylilies began flowering about two weeks ago in the ornamental grass garden. Hopefully by next Tuesday, my favourite aster frikartii will begin complementing them with its four months long display of blue daisies. This tour is part of 50 events the Central Okanagan Naturalist Club has organized to celebrate their 50th anniversary year. The second part of the evening will be a guided tour of the Central Okanagan Community Garden Society’s new community

W KIRSCHNER FAMILY REUNION

Pioneer family first set foot in the Okanagan in early 1900s The Kirschner family has been in the Okanagan since leaving Saskatchewan after 1911 after spending a brief period in Dewdney B.C. Both Christian Kirschner and his wife Franziska (Wickenheiser) were born in 1862. Christian, Franziska, Franz (age two years) and baby Katarina sailed to Canada from Hamburg, Germany, via Ellis Island in New York City. They arrived on April 16, 1892, traveling across the Atlantic aboard The Dania. They were German speaking immigrants from Russia whose forefathers had immigrated to Russia

r

in the early 1800s. The hope of owning free land in a free country was most likely the magnet that attracted the Kirschners to what was then called the great northwest territories of Canada. Today, we know that area as Saskatchewan. Christian Kirschner was wise to leave Russia as over 150,000 Volga Germans still in Russia died of starvation in the dreadful famine following the Russian Civil War. Saskatchewan suffered a drought the year following the arrival of the Kirschner family in Canada. This was a constant worry as more children

were arriving. Eventually, there would be nine children in the family. The seven children who were born in Canada were: Maggie (Weisgerber) in 1893, John in 1895, Tony in 1899, Liz (Kronbauer) in 1901, Chris in 1902, Charles in 1904 and Frances in 1905. Shortly after Franziska died, Christian married Dorothy Knutz on Oct 11, 1928, in Kelowna. Christian died in 1941 in Kelowna. There is no record of Dorothy’s death. Emma Kirschner who was married to Charles Kirschner, Christian and Franziska’s youngest son, still resides in Kelowna

MOTORING

Black livery adds air of mystery to limited edition Porsche Porsche from B1

shouldn’t forget.

and the twin exhausts are also jet black. If you look closely, the name “Black Edition” is embossed discreetly on both sides of the soft top. The cockpit of this mid-engine roadster is also in monochrome black with some pieces of aluminum trim on the scuff plates, steering wheel, handbrake lever and shifter and paddles to break things up a bit. Two model-specific final touches are a Porsche emblem embossed on the headrests and a limitededition badge on the glove compartment. While the Boxster is well known, it was amazing how many people walked up to the Black Edition to see what kind of car it was, the black livery adding an air of mystery. But all Porsches are about driving ã the Black Edition is no exception. With the manual adjust seat back and the steering wheel set in the middle of its vertical travel, the most satisfying way to get in is to put the right leg in and then slide down like getting into a fighter jet. The gauges (three with the centre tach the biggest) just skim across the lower line of sight. The wheel is small in diameter but thick. One of Porsche’s design cues is the ignition in the instrument panel to the left of the steering wheel. According to legend, Dr. Porsche himself placed it there so when drivers ran across the track at Le Mans (as it was originally done), they would have the left hand on the ignition and the other on the wheel to get away just that much quicker. Legend or not, it still seems odd to me after all these years, but curiously, whenever I get into a Porsche I automatically reach to left to switch on. The best place to start is in the garage. The flat six-cylinder lets out a growly burble until the oil starts to circulate and warms up. The Black Edition is fitted with a six-speed manual transmission as standard with the sevenspeed Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) transmission as a $4,180 option. Shifting in the half the time it takes to blink, the Black Edition with PDK accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 5.1 seconds with a top speed of 274 km/h.

IF YOU’RE going away for the weekend, better pack lightly as space in the front mounted trunk is limited. or lower), I picked probably the best summer day of the year. I left the radio off and enjoyed the sound of intakes on each side of the body made as the engine gobbled in the air and blasted it out the twin exhausts. When you engage the Sport Chrono Package it alters the car’s suspension, transmission shift points, throttle response and stability control and opens baffling in the exhaust system for a throaty sound. Porsche leaves no driver aids out and they include electronic stability control with traction control, brake assist and anti-lock brakes to the leading edge (optional. $2,390) Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM).

THE LIGHTEST 19-inch wheels in the Porsche lineup are fitted with larger tires (235/35 ZR 19 front and 265/35 ZR 19 rear) a noticeable upgrade from the 18inch wheels fitted to the regular Boxster S.

Boxster, the Black Edition is lavishly equipped with creature comforts such as includes bi-xenon headlights with dynamic cornering function, a wind deflector, auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors, rain sensor and automatic climate control. The infotainment system adds a touch-screen Porsche Communication Management system with navigation, BOSE surround-sound system and satellite radio. And of course, that all-black silhouette skimming down the road has the effect of causing people in front to move over to make way, something I have not noticed in other Porsches I’ve driven lately. On a back road I know, there is a short stretch of pavement with a 90-degree turn at both ends. I took it at double the normal speed which was way too fast. But just as I started to feel the car getting out of shape, the PASM stepped in and stopped all the nonsense. But, if I was ordering a Boxster, four grand for the PASM seems like a lot when it is already fitted standard with stability control with traction control. But it do believe in the PDK. Even in Drive the PDK not only shifts faster than I can but, on the track, it does a far better job of picking the right gear at the right time. Where the Boxster (any model) stands out is it’s about what a Porsche

should be ≠ light, agile, solid. As Porsche moves to big trucks and big fourdoor tourers, the Boxster is more akin to the first generation of air-cooled 911s and that’s a good thing and something Porsche

The optional ($1,690) Sport Chrono package (as tested) further reduces acceleration times with a launch control function and provides more aggressive Sport and Sport Plus shift strategies. Whether in automatic or manual shift mode, there is a little blip of the throttle coming down through the gears which adds a racy touch but is also, frankly, the best way to treat the engine and transmission because it matches the rotational speeds of the engine and gears for less internal stress. One of the most enjoyable drives I’ve had in years was heading out at 5:30 a.m. as the sun was starting to light the night sky. With the power top down (12 seconds to raise

MOTORING W ROAD TEST

Going green, automotively speaking, doesn’t have to be boring Lorne Drury CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

If you’re among that large group of people who are fed up with the high price of fuel, you’re probably just looking at a way to stick it to the big oil companies. One way for sure is to get a more fuel-efficient vehicle. That way you won’t have to visit the gas station so often and put up with the ‘sticker shock’ that hits you every time you fill up at the pumps. So what’s the best way to go? Well, there are a number of options. You can downsize to a compact or subcompact car, crossover or SUV that gets better fuel economy than your current vehicle. Or, you can make the switch to a diesel-powered vehicle, which again offers improved fuel economy. A third option is to go the gas-electric hybrid route. And although hybrids are becoming more popular every day, it might be a stretch to call them mainstream not just yet anyway because sales are still relatively low. In fact, many consumers are still unfamiliar with the concept of what they are and how they work. So if you’re a little leery of trying something as high-tech as a hybrid, the Ford Fusion Hybrid may be worth a look. Already one of the most popular mid-size cars on the market, the Fusion Hybrid uses a proven powertrain system that combines the best attributes of the gasoline engine and electric battery-driven motors to deliver both driving performance and great fuel economy. In fact, the Fusion Hy-

brid is rated the most fuelefficient mid-size sedan in the country, boasting a city rating of 4.6L/100 km and highway 5.4L/100 km. That allows you to drive more than 1,125 km on a single tank of fuel. It’s enough to make you want to shout, “take that to the bank all you oil companies!” With the Fusion Hybrid, you get a 2.5-litre Atkinson Cycle inline four-cylinder engine that works in conjunction with a permanent magnet ACsynchronous electric motor. Combined, the hybrid system produces 191 net horsepower, making the Fusion Hybrid anything but a slug bug on the road if there comes a time when you need that extra power. But in the city where stop-and-go driving eats up precious fuel and produces so much unnecessary emissions, the Fusion Hybrid shines. It can operate at up to 76 km/h in pure electric (EV) mode, which is twice the speed that many competitors top out in electric mode. And if you’ve never driven a hybrid, you’ll find the transition between gas and electric modes is almost seamless with the Fusion. With some hybrids, the transition from one mode to another is quite noticeable, not so with this vehicle. It operates just like any other car, without the noise of course when you’re working on battery power. Simply turn the key, wait for the dash to light up, put the shift lever into gear and off you go. With a hybrid, you will operate on the battery until more power is required than your electric system can supply.

NAMED North American Car of theYear in 2010, the Ford Fusion Hybrid has relatively few changes for 2011. The hybrid version of the Fusion adds a touch of green to an already strong lineup. The Fusion Hybrid comes in one well-appointed trim level only. Starting at $34,199, my test vehicle was loaded with options, bringing the total to $39,609 plus $1,450 freight and PDI. Options included a Driver’s Vision Group ($1,300) that features a blind spot detection system, rear view video camera and rain sensing wipers. The Moon and Tune Package ($1,200) added a 12-speaker, 390watt Sony surround sound and a power moonroof.

NYROSE & Associates RANKED BC’S #1*TEAM AT COLDWELL BANKER ®

A mortgage can be a gold mine of savings or the pot of gold to help pay for that dream renovation project for your home. Mortgages are a powerful financial tool that can work to your benefit in ways you might not have thought about. Begin by having a mortgage checkup on your mortgage terms, and seek out the advice of a mortgage broker to offer an independent analysis. While a good investment advisor can earn you thousands of dollars, a good mortgage broker can save you thousands by finding the best combination of mortgage features and rates to suit your situation. Think about you financial goals. If you are looking for a way to reduce monthly payments, save on your mortgage interest over the long-term, pay down the mortgage sooner or finance a special project or buying a second home for your child at university, there are options to consider. Thousands of Canadians have been taking a look at their fixed rate-rate mortgages in the last few months. We don’t have an economic crystal ball, but it seems clear that with mortgage rates lower than they were in our parents’ generation, the odds of an upward trend in mortgage rates remain pretty strong. That means, right now you have an historic opportunity to get that mortgage working for you.

Even if your mortgage is not up for renewal anytime soon, it’s still worth a review to see if you can renegotiate for a better rate. Don’t assume that you are stuck with a fixed rate mortgage that is several points higher than today’s rock bottom rates. A mortgage broker can access rates from a wide variety of lending institutions. A drop of a few points can save you thousands of dollars over the life of the mortgage. Is the end of mortgage in sight? If so, then either take a watch and wait approach or consider a blend and extend to combine your old rate with current rates to help you take advantage of the low current rate opportunity. The current low rates are a boon to spenders as well as savers. Thinking about that home renovation? Or landscaping project this year? Ask a broker about using a mortgage to finance the project. Mortgage rates are typically far lower than other types of loans or lines of credit, so you can put your equity to work at rates that you couldn’t have dreamed of 10 years ago.

The kitchen is really the central hub in any home, and many people dream of the perfect one. Everyone has their own idea of what would make for a perfect kitchen, and some have even invested the time and energy into creating their own little world. There are some things that every dream has in common. For most people, the most important thing in a dream kitchen is space. The best kitchens have plenty of counter space for all of the little appliances needed for modern living and the food preparation and decorative items that can make house into a home. With so many people congregating in the kitchen, ample floor space is essential. High ceilings, no matter how big the room actually is, will add great depth to the room. Today, people are also looking for the kitchen to

be connected to the rest of the house, so there is a premium placed on open spaces. Most people will also want a space in the kitchen to eat in and have a casual dinner. Another important element that is often overlooked is the amount of light in a kitchen. Natural light is in comparable, so large, south-facing windows are ideal. The more control you have over the lighting in your kitchen, the better off you will be. This means specific task lighting for food preparation and mood lighting. Appliances are also an important element to any dream kitchen.

A matching set is essential, and top-of-the-line equipment is very important. Any serious home chef will want a six-burner gas stove. An ideal stove might have a griddle and even perhaps a deep fryer. Of course, a dream kitchen would have two convection ovens so you could bake a pie while fixing a casserole for the family supper. Perhaps the most important element is the refrigerator. You’ll need plenty of space to keep all of your prepared foods and raw materials cold. Many people prefer a freezer that sits underneath the refrigerator. After you have the basics of your dream kitchen down, you can add your own personal touches to make it your own. Bring in your favorite pictures of your family and your knickknacks, and you’ll have a kitchen that you are happy to prepare meals in every day.

showcase W HUMMINGBIRD BEACH RESORT

Shuswap region offers spectacular setting ���� B20 Hummingbird allows rentals and buyers seem to really appreciate this option to offset costs when the property is not being used. Q: What are your most popular plans at Hummingbird Beach Resort and why? Jordan: I would have to say so far it would be the Lakeside and Hummingbird plans. They offer three bedrooms, great living space, quality finishes, well appointed kitchens and the potential to create an outside oasis with large decks and landscaping. Most owners are also adding a bunkhouse of roughly 100 square feet that is a great extra bedroom and excellent off season storage. You should see what some of the owners are doing with their bunkhouses. Q: What amenities and services do you offer and what are most popular with Hummingbird Beach Resort buyers? Jordan: Being a lakefront cottage community, the two most important amenities would be the marina and beach. We try and keep it simple. We are not a resort club so our owners appreciate their time as they wish. We do however have a pool and hot tub and a 1.5 acre play field. Each of our buyers receives a boat slip in the marina valued at $40,000. Q: Tell us about Hummingbird Beach Resort how long have you been in business and why did you choose Shuswap to call Hummingbird Beach Resort home? Jordan: The resort was carefully planned and fbuilt on what was the very rpopular seasonal campground known as Hummingbird Resort. r

The finished product was completed in late 2008 and families have been enjoying their homes ever since. The Shuswap offers so much natural beauty and there is so much that is untouched. The 1,200plus kilometres of shoreline are wonderful to explore and the fishing is spectacular with the salmon run in the late summer and fall. It really is a neat spot and is so close to the Central and North Okanagan yet offers something quite different. Summer living offers so much to do on and off the lake. We boast calm water for skiing, waterfalls to hike into, beaches to play on, bike trails to explore and a little community that is friendly and supportive. Winter living boasts the best snowmobiling in Western Canada along with some of the best Nordic and backcountry skiing around. Really there is something for everyone. Q: As local developers how have you noticed the development industry change over the last few years? What have you done to respond to the changing market conditions? Jordan: Development in the area has calmed and there has not been any new developments introduced. Hummingbird continues to attract families and we have moved to adjust our pricing according to the changing markets. Just recently we have included the sales taxes into the purchase price. We also offer some developer financing and boat slips are now included in the purchase price. Q: What have been some new innovations and/or trends in hotel strata ownership and what makes this a better pur-

chase option for buyers? Jordan: In the past we have seen recreational developments offer fractional ownership and quarter share opportunities. This would allow a broad scope of families access to ownership in the recreational market. We have seen a shift away from this with the lending institutions. Banks like whole ownership recreational real estate (i.e. HBR) and with this there is the potential for purchase sharing or partnerships. By this I mean that two brothers or two cousins could get together and purchase a cabin. They share all the costs, have their own mortgages, and with the busy lives of so many families today, this seems to work. Hummingbird has some of this type of ownership and it works very well. The idea or notion that an owner is able to rent their home if it is not in use is also appealing and helps supplement yearly costs. Q: How can interested buyers view the homes at Hummingbird Beach Resort and/ or access more information on the project? Jordan: We are open for tours daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. We always suggest to call ahead on the toll free number (1-877-707-0097) so that each of the furnished show homes can be opened up. Families can visit our website, www.hummingbirdresort.ca or visit us on www.facebook.com/ hummingbirdbeachresort. The drive from the Central and North Okanagan is easy and beautiful so I encourage everyone to come and visit to see why so many families love this place.

SHOWCASE W HUMMINGBIRD BEACH RESORT

Recreational property offers lakeside setting Steele Jordan, president of the development company behind Hummingbird Beach Resort, talks about the new lakefront cottage community in the Shuswap region. S����� N����� CONTRIBUTOR

Question: Briefly give us an overview of the Hummingbird Beach Resort ? Jordan: Hummingbird Beach Resort is a low density lakefront cottage community on Mara Lake, Shuswap which is about 45 minutes north of Vernon and 9 kilometres south of Sicamous. We offer Craftsman style homes ranging from 550 to 2,100 square feet, priced from $260,000 to $900,000. We are a whole ownership, year-round lakefront community with a resident caretaker that lives at the resort. Q: What’s different or unique about Hummingbird Beach Resort versus other comparable projects in the Okanagan? Jordan: We would have to say that the cottage style is different. By this we mean that there really are stand alone cottages and everyone is able to drive to their front door and outdoor decks. As a result a real sense of community has developed among the owners that is unique and fun to

be a part of. Q: Tell us a little about more about the location and the key amenities in the Hummingbird Beach Resort area. Jordan: We are located nine kilometres south of Sicamous on the sandy shores of Mara Lake in the Shuswap. We are fortunate to have so many amenities such as water sports, running, hiking, biking, golf and all the winter sports you could imagine. Mara Lake is a great lake for swimming and exploring and is warm and clean. We love the big san-

dy beach for sports and lounging…a real treat! Q: What unique features are in the homes themselves, and why are these important to your buyers? Jordan: A very efficient use of space for one. Most owners have built really quaint bunkhouses to add a fourth bedroom. The large windows and decks pick up views of the lake and the high quality of finishing adds to the cottage feel of each home. The choices along Hummingbird Creek offer tranquility and privacy. Owners can person-

alize their own outdoor space and this reflects in pride of ownership all over the resort. Most of our buyers use their cabins extensively for holidays and family time and love what it provides for them. Q: Who are your key buyer groups and why have they chosen your new community to live? Jordan: Our buyers are families (30 to 65) that are wanting a quality of life and an investment in family that goes hand in hand with a lakefront community. S�� B19
