O
n a cool November day four years ago, it became clear to Gavin and Lorna Young that their daughter was serious. A grueling bike ride from Penticton to Kelowna with the onset of winter approaching was a sure sign that Jen Annett had both the mental fortitude and athletic chops to be a successful long-distance triathlete. “It was November and it was raining, it was really cold, and then it froze,” recalled Gavin Young. “But Jennifer gritted her teeth and rode all the way through it from Penticton. When she got here, her feet were like bricks of ice. She was determined to do it. “I think we knew then she was pretty serious about all of this,” he added with a laugh. Little did the Youngs know at the time, Jen’s exploits would just be the tip of the iceberg—so to speak—for their family. See story on A3

Young family embraces challenge of triathlons Jen went on to win her age class—women’s 18 to 24—at Ironman Canada in Penticton in both 2008 and 2009. A year later, she was second in the women’s 25 to 29 division. Then this summer, Jen was a spectator as her brother, Chris Young, followed in her footsteps. He won the men’s 18 to 24 age group in his first ever try at the Ironman distance. While the Young family has always been physically active, Gavin and Lorna certainly didn’t set out to raise a pair of athletic champions. Still, it’s been a fulfilling experience watching their kids thrive in the sport of triathlon. “They’re both high achievers and they’re both pretty competitive,” said Lorna Young. “But at the same time, they’re humble about it and that’s what we’re most proud of. They do it for the challenge and the personal goals, so that’s nice to see.” So as much as numbers, results and statistics are a way to remember and mark their individual achievements, athletic endeavours—such as Ironman—have become true family affairs for the Youngs. Gavin has long wanted to do Ironman himself, but back problems will likely prevent him from ever realizing that goal.
‘‘
Gavin. “They’re in great condition, but you always wonder where the limits are. “You look at your watch and think, ‘They should be coming in now.’ When you do see them come in the run, it’s a big relief.” For Lorna’s part, the mother of two is a little more relaxed. “You might worry a little bit, but there’s really no point in it,” Lorna said. “Every day is a gift. You love to live these events through your kids, encourage, cheer them on, and be there for them.” That all of them can simply share the Ironman experience together is reason for celebration. “Mom and dad are absolutely a huge part of this, it’s all about the family,” said Jen Annett, 26. “They really enjoy watching us and we like having them there. “It probably has something to do with perseverance, that’s the common thread for us,” she added. “We’re kind of a stubborn family, and we all understand what it’s like to fight through the pain. It’s always as if we’re going through it together.” And the Youngs know a thing or two about sticking together. When Lorna underwent quintuple bypass surgery four years ago, Chris devoted much of his energy to generating both funds and awareness for heart and stroke. From May to July in

Lorna underwent major heart surgery in 2007 and is a constant inspiration to her family. In addition to attending many other sporting events as their children were growing up, Gavin and Lorna have been dedicated supporters at the last four Ironmans, whether they’re cheering on Chris, Jen or their sonin-law, Jason Annett. This year, they were up at 4 a.m. and at the beach on Okanagan Lake by 5 a.m. to get a premier spot to view the race. As for watching their children take on the considerable challenge of a 3.8 km swim, 180 km bike ride and 42 km run, Gavin and Lorna experience very different emotions “It’s pretty stressful and strenuous,” laughs

the way. 2009, he rode 7,500 kilometres on his bike from St. John’s to Victoria. Lorna followed Chris in a motorhome and watched him raise both awareness and $6,000 in donations. “I thought that was incredible, what he did for heart and stroke, I’ll never forget it,” said Lorna. “We had the privilege of meeting families from across the country, and hearing their stories. It was a wonderful experience.” The Youngs believe it’s just that spirit, determination and dedication that Chris displayed two summers ago that allows both he and Jen to be as driven and successful as

they are in athletics. Jen was always active, but not until she watched Ironman for the first time in 2005 did she contemplate taking on one of the biggest challenges in all of sports. “It was the most amazing thing I’d ever seen,” she said. “I saw an 80-year-old doing it and I thought, you know what, I can too. I went out and bought my first road bike and after that started doing triathlons. I’ve been loving it ever since.” For three straight Ironman Canada races, Chris watched his sister excel at the three-stage event. Jen completed her first 3.8 km swim, 180 km

bike ride and 42.2 km run in 2008 in 10 hours 34 minutes. A year later, she lowered her time by 15 minutes, then in 2010 established yet another personal best of 10 hours 16 minutes. Inspired by Jen’s accomplishments, Chris decided to take on the challenge himself for the first time last month. He not only completed the race, he won his age group, finishing an impressive 42nd overall out of 2,500 competitors in nine hours 53 minutes. “I looked at the results the last few years and thought maybe I had a chance (to win) my age group, but I really didn’t
know,” said Chris, 22. “Anything can happen in 8 1/2, nine hours. Conditioning, hydration, anything can go wrong. I didn’t want to get my hopes up. When I came in first, it was pretty thrilling.” Covering the course in the heat of a South Okanagan summer in under 10 hours is no small feat, one only a small percentage of triathletes ever reach. So Chris certainly couldn’t be blamed if he was inspired by his own results. But when all is said and done, it’s the accomSee Family A4

don’t give up. You see how bad they want it. “When you see people out there for 17 hours who just won’t quit, coming in at midnight.

He basically carries his son through the whole race. “There is not a dry eye anywhere when you watch them. You’re grateful that your kids are strong and health and able to do that on their own. “When you look at that and see the love that man has for his son, you are transformed.

Former mayor to challenge Shepherd Potential civic Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR
Walter Gray wants his old job back. After six years out of public life, the former Kelowna mayor, who served for three terms from 1996 to 2005, has announced he will run again in the Nov. 19 civic election. And he has come out swinging. “I do believe there should be a change on council,� Gray told the Capital News on Thursday. “We need a more progressive council.� He will challenge incumbent Sharon Shepherd, who unseated him in the 2005 election after serving nine years as a councilor on the three councils Gray led. Shepherd announced last month that she will seek a third term. The 71-year-old Gray said he is feeling healthier than he did six years ago when he lost to Shepherd. And now that he has sold the Salmon Armbased cable television company and the Kelowna radio station he coowned, Gray said he has the time, and the desire, to get back into public life. And he said he is not alone. “I know there are people out there who want to run (for council) but do not want to join (the current) council,� he said. “If I run, they will run as well.� While he did not name any of new potential candidates, their inclusion would swell an already growing field.
Walter Gray
Sharon Shepherd
A total of 39 nomination packages for councillor have been picked up so far. All the incumbent councillors, with the exception of Andre Blanleil, have announced they plan to seek re-election. Seven people, including Shepherd, have picked up nomination packages for mayor, four of whom
have made their intentions public—Shepherd, James Murphy, Kim Ouellette and Diana Van Beest. It should be noted that not all people who take out papers end up running. In 2008, 51 sets of papers were taken out for councillor and 36 names ended up on the ballot on election day. In making his official
announcement Thursday, Gray said strong leadership is needed on council, especially at a time like this when the economy is “continuing to lag.� “We need to restore confidence, enthusiasm and engagement in the community. We should be creating opportunities, not canceling them or delaying good ideas indefinitely.� Gray said he picked up nomination paper’s Wednesday and has a campaign team already in place that is ready to go. Gray, who is about to leave Canada for a European vacation, said he plans to hit the ground running when he returns in time to file his nomination papers during the Oct. 4 to 14 nomination peri-
od.
Gray said he enters the race for mayor with the belief that strong leadership is one of the key issues in this year’s election�. “Inactivity, procrastination and too many frivolous studies, which take up valuable staff time and add cost to taxpayers, must be corrected,� he said. He said he will not release a campaign platform at this time, believing the mayor and council should have “a shared agenda.� “That’s how to develop an effective team and attract good people to council and, in turn, ensure sustainability and a prosperous community,� he said. awaters@kelownacapnews.com
Potential candidates given inside look at what being a city councillor is all about Alistair Waters assistant editor Potential municipal candidates in Kelowna will get a crash course on what it’s like to serve on a city council Sept. 21. The city will host an information meeting for potential candidates and this year has opted to hold it prior to the end of the official nomination period, instead of afterwards. The nomination period for the upcoming civic election is October 4 to 14. Currently, anyone interested in running can pick up nomination papers at Kelowna City Hall and many have already done so.
As of Thursday, seven people had picked up papers to run for mayor and 39 had picked up papers to run for councillor. According to chief election officer Karen Needham, the reason for the earlier information meeting date this time is to give people considering entering the race for either the mayor’s job or one of the eight councillor positions, an awareness of what the job entails, what are the responsibilities and what the workload is like. That’s al information the city feels is important for potential candidate to know prior to entering the election race. To have their papers accepted
to run for office, a candidate must get a minimum 25 nominator signatures required and pay a $100 deposit, as well meet age and residency requirements. The information meeting is separate from the Federation of Canadian Municipalites-sponsored twoday workshop that goes this weekend at the regional district building on KLO Road aimed at encouraging more women to seek municipal office. In addition tot he information meeting, the city has also posted an information package on its website at kelowna.ca/election. awaters@kelownacapnews.com
candidates are coming forward Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
This week, three more people publicly announced their desire to run in the upcoming District of West Kelowna municipal election on Nov. 19. Rick de Jong, brother of Liberal cabinet minister Mike de Jong, formally announced his candidacy for councillor on Thursday. Prior to the last provincial election, de Jong ran against Ben Stewart for the Liberal Party nomination in the newly established Westside-Kelowna riding. He learned the importance of community service through the process of running. “Whether you win or lose, I admire anybody who is willing to step forward and put their name forward for community service,� said de Jong. The former Rotary Club of Westbank president refused to criticize the current council. “I commend them for the hard work that they’ve done. We now need to work forward with the community plans for infrastructure and development,� he said. “But, as we do that, we need to stay focused on the families that live in this community.� Incumbent council-

lors David Knowles and Duane Ophus, who have been on council since incorporation, have also stated that they would both seek re-election this fall. Knowles said that his experience and tenacity are assets that are needed on council. He noted that his main focus for the future is seeing through the completion of 13 major plans. “It’s not simply that you just finish (the plans), you’ve got to implement them as well,� said Knowles. He is hoping to extend his time with what he believes is a strong district staff. “It’s just been a great experience to be on a team like this.� Ophus, who has lived in West Kelowna for more than 16 years, said that his experience and financial management skills are strengths that he brings to the table. He said he wants to use his 35 years of business experience to continue building on what council has already accomplished. As of Thursday, one mayor, 11 councillor and four school trustee election packages had been picked up from the DWK office. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

Council tackles cost for school liaison police officer Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER
The District of West Kelowna will start the process to implement a school liaison officer “as soon as possible.� The motion passed at council chambers on Tuesday, passing by a 4-3 vote. The subjective wording of the motion left Coun. Carol Zanon feeling uneasy.
“What does ‘as soon as possible’ mean? If it means that we’re going to be spending about $190,000 without any input from anybody else at this point in time, I don’t want to go there,� said Zanon. “If as soon as possible means that you get some of the background work done up so you’re ready to pounce on this as soon as we get into budget deliberations, that’s fine.
“It’s not on the merits of whether or not we need this resource person at this point in time, it’s how we want to pay for it and how we’re going to go about it and what we’re doing for the benefit of our tax payers as a whole.� Council was informed that the normal process for requesting FTEs (fulltime equivalents) for the upcoming year typically sees requests submitted in July; therefore, coun-
cil would have had to request a school liaison officer two months ago in order to have that position filled for the 2011-12 school year. If the district opts to request an FTE midyear, they are entering uncharted water: There is no guarantee that they will fill the position any sooner than if they waited until next July. Despite this information, Coun. David
Knowles was still in favour of fast-tracking the process. “The time to start moving on this is now, rather than leave it,� said Knowles. Coun. Duane Ophus was against the proposal to speed up the process. “I’m a little bit surprised and perturbed that we’re discussing this again because this issue was discussed at length two months ago,� said

Ophus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council made a decision to proceed on a certain basis. I think that process was very well underway. To head it off now at this point, is not the right thing to do.â&#x20AC;? On Sept. 2, district staff received a letter from Keith Fielding, the mayor of Peachland. Fielding said that there is strong support for the possibility of Peachland district council including partnership funds in the 2012 budget to support the initiative. Ophus said that the letter clearly indicates that Peachland council understand that West Kelowna council has a process in place. Ophus said he felt that disrupting that process is a bad idea. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve set the budget for this year. To do this at this point in time would require an amendment to the budget and will require a significant tax increase. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be doing that.â&#x20AC;? Coun. Rosalind Neis,
who has been urging council to implement the position for months, said that if council didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t act now, the position may never be filled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Councillor Ophus mentioned that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been discussing this since incorporation. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s four years that we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t done anything,â&#x20AC;? said Neis. She also didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to wait for the participation of other local governments and noted the uncertain wording of Fieldingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s letter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very nice that Mr. Fielding sent this letter. He uses the word possibly four times. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great political letter because possibly they might be potentially interested in assisting. Somebody has to take the lead.â&#x20AC;? Couns.

Carjacker startles parked driver A quiet morning coffee by the lake turned ugly for a Kelowna resident this morning as a man attempted to rob, then carjack her. The incident occurred at around 8:20 a.m. as the woman sat in her car, parked at the beach access at Cedar Avenue near Walnut Street. As she was sipping her coffee, a male approached her and asked to use her phone. When she declined his request he opened the door of her car and demanded money from her. When she said she had none, he tried to push her out of the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat while threatening to hurt her with a knife he claimed he was carrying. The victim pushed the suspect back and began to scream to attract attention, causing the suspect to make a hasty getaway. The suspect is described as being Caucasian, 5-foot6, with dark hair and wearing a black T-shirt with a lighter long-sleeved shirt underneath, grey â&#x20AC;&#x153;capriâ&#x20AC;? style pants and had a black back pack.

Cap News photographer’s life turned upside down Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
On a Monday morning in July, Capital News photographer Sean Connor got up and thought things looked a little strange. He drove in to work, but he started seeing things in double, so after completing a photo assignment or two that morning, he called his son and had him drive him to his doctor’s office. His doctor immediately referred him to a neurologist. A scan showed he had a tumour in his lower skull that the specialist believed was a rare chordoma brain tumour. Removal requires very specialized brain surgery that very few specialists are trained to perform. One in a million people are diagnosed with chordomas, which it is believed are pre-determined at birth. Connor says even if they are removed, they tend to come back, and unless they’re in a different spot from the first, surgery and radiation can’t be repeated. “One minute I was working at a job I enjoyed and the next moment I was in a tailspin. My life was controlled by my medical needs and I had to rely on doctors to return my life to normal. I feel so out of control,” Connor said following two surgeries a few days apart. As a result, he finds today that his values have changed and he’s aware of the clutter in his life as certain basics take on a new importance. “People take life for granted,” he summarized with the awareness of how fleeting life can be when you suffer a serious health setback. After being diagnosed with the tumor, Connor was immediately referred to a specialist in Vancouver, and three days later friends drove him and his wife Sandra to the coast for a consultation.
‘‘
ONE MINUTE I WAS WORKING AT A JOB I ENJOYED AND THE NEXT MOMENT I WAS IN A TAILSPIN. Sean Connor
A week later they returned to Vancouver for surgical removal, accessing the tumor in his brain through his nose. Because of damage the tumour had done, the surgeon had to go back in five days later to do some further repairs. Today, his vision is still impaired and he’s unable to drive because the tumour stretched the optic nerves. Nerves controlling the tongue were also affected so his speech is not always clear and he has difficulty swallowing. His sense of taste was
affected but is slowly returning, and his sense of smell was also lost. His short-term memory and concentration skills have also been affected. He’s hopeful as he heals, some of those lost faculties will improve. The next step for Connor is a proton radiation treatment, but there are only two locations in North America that can treat chordomas—Harvard University in Boston and Loma Linda University Medical Centre in Southern California. His treatment has been approved by Loma Linda, and when he’s healed enough he’ll fly there for a consultation, then return a few weeks later for four to six weeks of treatment. The whole experience has led to his complete about-face on the usefulness of modern media like Facebook. In order to keep in touch with family and friends, Connor set up a group on Facebook

where he posts updates on his condition, rather than he or Sandra having to relay the same information to dozens of people verbally about his progress. Next, he plans to tackle Skype. “I take back everything I said about it before: New media is amazing,” he says with a grin. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

To the editor: Lately there has been a number of very human, but stupid people, showing how stupid they really are. I listen to talk-back radio shows and read letters to editors and is never one call or letter saying anything positive about talking or texting while driving. Yet, when I sit on my medical scooter and watch traffic going to Kelowna on the bridge, I see plenty of talkers/texters, willingly showing their stupidity. Is that phone call or text really as important as a life or causing an accident? The bridge is likely not the only place you do such a dumb thing. Take a minute and think about causing an accident in which you permanently disable your neighbour’s fiveyear-old healthy child because of a distraction like texting or answering your cell phone.

It was a conversation that happened long before 9/11, however, and despite their assurances otherwise, that day a decade ago really did offer that shared cultural experience that offered widespread change. Everyone knows what they were doing when the planes struck the Twin Towers. For my part, one moment I was lying in bed in my safe suburban B.C. home lamenting a bellyache, the next the world appeared to be coming to pieces with the images of smoke, screams and death. How those details changed the world, however, isn’t quite as universal as my old teacher led me to believe. We may know where we were, but where we’re going is still up in the air.
As some opened their eyes to a world away, wars of divisive origins were sparked, and political ideologies shifted back and forth. The world, in many ways became smaller, as the strife of people a continent away became everyday conversation. There has been good and bad, in the years that followed. But during weeks like this, when the dubious anniversary is being celebrated with a resurgence of rhetoric and jingoism it would be more comforting to lean into my genetic allotment of cynicism and point out little has changed since that day. The rich did get richer, the poor are still hurting and the Canucks have yet to win a Stanley Cup. Kathy Michaels is a reporter for the Capital News. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

To the editor: Re: HST impact—after the fact, Sept. 6 Capital News. Of course most business feel that their costs, with the loss of HST, will increase. They now have to pay their share of taxes. Was that not the point of the refurendum? CdnRanger To the editor: Tough sales tax choices remain After Defeat of HST Vote, by Black Press legislative reporter Tom Fletcher, Sept.6 Capital News. The Liberals introduced the tax incorrectly. Guess what? The electorate went to the same schools and the same grades as the politicians.
COMMENTS FROM kelownacapnews.com
The Liberals were deceitful in the way they informed us about this tax (no information is better than telling the public the truth is a political mantra off all parties of every stripe). You gave the people the right to vote on it after you installed it(the buggy before the horse thinking). Then you had constant stick figure ads on TV saying nothing other than PST GST vs HST. Sorry, I know the sky is blue no matter what color you want to call it. Then you try to buy votes by lowering the HST. Why, wasn’t the stickfigure non message not doing it for you? That was never put on the table in the beginning. You are sounding desperate.
You got what you deserved. Anybody else want to take a go at messing around with Canadians? Taking 18 months to rectify this is ludicrous. Maybe we should elect people that get the job done. What happened to the old PST and GST systems? Did they get burnt(to hide the evidence or hide fingerprints?) Why? How do you ever learn anything-you need old material just to make sure you do not do the same mistake twice, or thrice or continuously? Every business keeps that kind of record or they fail. I believe that is why we learned to write and keep records. Doing the Math
Problem’s not in collection, it’s in spending
To the editor: The sky is not falling, and for those who are conrcerned, the B.C. government will lose much needed tax revenues as the HST is being phased out, have no fear. The five per cent GST plus the seven per cent PST will produce the same revenues as the 12 per cent HST simply by tapplying the GST and the PST to the same items we t
pay the harmonized tax on today. There is also no urgency to develop a new tax system. We don’t have a serious revenue problem—we have a huge spending problem. The B.C. Liberal government has been taxing and spending the province into a deep dark hole. The Clark government should immediately put a moratorium on increases and
new spending. It should then reclaim control of all Crown corporations where literally billions of dollars are being wasted. Civil servants’ pensions, bonuses, severance and retirement packages must be brought back into line with the real world. Use and abuse of overtime must be brought under control. Harmonizing means

Drivers speed like crazy on KLO Road To the editor: I face a horror, two and three times a week, driving out of a driveway on KLO Road. The folks using that road are not driving 60 km/h, as posted. It is a nightmare to get
onto KLO. The cars are doing 80 and 90 km/h and many times more. The road rage is so evident, with the gestures and the hand signals, that I am not surprised a lady was run down. Drivers seem to think
it is their given right to go as fast as they can. I was nearly run down with three grandsons in that very place. M. Flood, Kelowna
Texting while driving is stupid Cell from A10 ing their child a serious whiplash injury. Would you be able to face them, or would you show your multi-tasking abilities and move out of the area? Similarly, speeding. When I was working I drove hundreds of kilometres every month, yes, always in a hurry, never having time to smell the roses. By pure luck I arrived at my destinations
without accident, but was stressed because of the speeding. I finally learned (before retirement) that driving the speed limit was much more relaxing than speeding and, as a bonus, it usually got me to my destination within minutes of my pushing or exceeding the speed limit. So, drivers, slow down. Using a cell phone while driving distracts you—believe it. Live longer and enjoy life much more. Get
voice mail and pile up the messages, then stop on a safe roadside to make your return calls. And think that maybe some other driver will also take notice and not cause your child to be disabled due to distraction or speeding. You don’t have to show your stupidity by texting or talking on the phone while driving. Ron Renneberg, West Kelowna

centralizing, and the reason why the federal government offered the province $1.5 billion to sign onto the HST was because it would give the feds control of the tax. For the Liberal government it was cool one and a half billion dollars cash, without having to go to the B.C. tax payers. The tax system we had was fine except that the PST was applied at the
end of the production line, representing an unnecessary cost and inconvenience to businesses. By separating the two taxes the province will now be able to pick and choose the goods and services that will be subject to the PST and it should continue to collect both taxes at the final point of sale.

Westside land swap a good deal To the editor: This is my answer to Donna Thompson and West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater, comments on the land swap. (Nothing Equitable in Land Swap, Sept. 1 Capital News)) As a WFN member, I think that was a good land swap. It will give our nation more control over protecting the Rose Valley
watershed because we see developments going higher into mountain areas, and this interferes with the wild life and their territories which is their feeding grounds and watering holes. I think this is a good land swap for all of the Westside area. Lloyd Elias, West Kelowna

was shelled or the entire Middle East broke out in protest and war this past summer. In the first half of 2010, more than 3,000 Afghan civilians were killed or injured. That’s about half as many as were killed on that one single day in New York mind you, but in Afghanistan that one snippet of casualties took place after years and years of on-go-

ing warfare. It made the news because it was considered a spike in the otherwise routine number of fatalities and maiming incidents. In a four-month period, it’s predicted 750,000 people will starve to death out of sight and out of mind in Somalia. This does seem rather inconceivable as we barely heard anything about it in the lead-up to this year’s famine designation. By comparison, we still hear very little about all those starving people—a week’s worth of multi-hour coverage? Not likely. It sounds hard-hearted to be so cynical, but sometimes I think there’s even more disrespect in blowing the events of 9/11 so out of proportion to the rest of the world’s issues—even for Americans. Will those directly effected by 9/11 feel an impact 10 years later? Of course. Really the whole of New York will, but does that mean the entire country should return to a state of mourning? Probably not. There’s something to be said for moving on in life and that something seems to be missing from the news judgement of media top dogs who have clearly set an agenda to go out and pepper us with 9/11 aftermath stories. No doubt cheap-
er and easier to come by than those which portray the aftermath for the rest of the world—again, the Middle East, Afghanistan, Iraq, and even the American economic conflagration (no doubt in part to blame on the militarization brought on by 9/11). We’re heading into another global economic downturn we learned this week and that famine and on-going Middle Eastern unrest are pretty big issues too. No one really knows the extent of damage wrought on the people in Syria and, quite frankly, all of these issues are pretty well child’s play when compared with the global warming issue (assuming you don’t listen to ultra right-wing American media types and believe the melting polar ice caps are a conspiracy to stop the U.S. from drilling for oil). Can you imagine the future we’re heading into if the world’s weather patterns change? It’s never a bad idea to remember events like 9/11, but it’s never a great idea to glorify them to an extent that the actual event becomes a jumping off point for an unending cycle of destructive drama. It was but one event in a decade’s worth of triumphs and sorrows. Why give the terrorists another reasons to celebrate their successes? jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ 9/11 MEMORIAL
Local firefighters unveil memorial to 9/11 victims To commemorate the 10-year anniversary of 9/11, the Kelowna Fire Department will hold a parade and unveil a memorial statue that symbolizes a tradition of service. “This year, we will mark the 10th year since the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York claimed 343 firefighters and this occasion is a very fitting time to unveil the Kelowna Firefighters’ memorial monument,” said Kelowna Fire Chief Jeff Carlisle. The coordinator for the monument project, Paid On-Call District Chief Rick Jennens, said this initiative has been 15 years in the making and is delighted to see the vision of recognizing the service of all Kelowna Firefighters come to fruition. In 1996, a joint initiative was agreed upon by the Kelowna Professional Firefighters Association, the Kelowna Paid–on– Call Firefighters, and the City of Kelowna to cost share the procurement and installation of a Firefighters’ memorial monument.
On July 7, Kelowna city council supported the firefighters’ memorial monument and approved the budget to complete this tribute. The Kelowna Firefighters’ memorial monument symbolizes the tradition of service provided by the Kelowna Fire Department over the last 106 years. The granite Maltese cross base provides the foundation for a brass statue of two firefighters and a child during a rescue. The likenesses depict Kelowna firefighters from a historical and presentday perspective. This memorial monument will serve to honour all Kelowna firefighters who have sacrificed in serving the citizens of this city. Representatives of local protective services agencies will attend the ceremony, along with a number of local dignitaries. On Sunday, Sept. 11, from 8 to 11:30 a.m., Enterprise Way will be closed to traffic between
Dilworth Drive and Leckie Road. The Kelowna
Fire Department will conduct a monument dedica-
tion and parade as part of the 9/11 memorial cere-
mony. Traffic personnel will
be onsite directing motorists during the closure.

Funding for water Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan, on behalf of Environment Canada, has presented $76,000 to the Okanagan Basin Water Board for four water-related projects. OBWB executive-director Anna Warwick Sears said the funds will go toward a hydrometric monitoring database, which gathers information on streamflows in the basin; the Osoyoos Lake Water Science Forum scheduled for Sept. 18 to 20; training in use of the Streamlined Water Use Reporting Tool for water utilities; and funds for the Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program biodiversity strategy. “The Okanagan is a priority ecosystem for Environment Canada and funding projects here enhances the work that’s already been done here,” said Warwick Sears. “I think the funds have come here too, because we’re a small, compact watershed with representative issues. Research done here can then be applied elsewhere in the country.” The funding announcement was made at the annual general meeting of the OBWB today in Kelowna.

club, Lokomotiv. Russian officials have confirmed that the entire main roster of Lokomotiv, plus four players from a Russian youth team, were on the plane. Lokomotiv Yaroslavl, founded in 1949 as the team of the Railways Ministry, is one of Russia’s leading hockey teams, runner-up for the KHL championship in 2008 and 2009. The airplane, a Yakovlev Yak-42 passenger jet, crashed and caught fire immediately after taking to the air, crashing less than two kilometres from the airport near the city on the Volga River, some 150 miles northeast of Moscow. It’s the first such major air accident involving a pro hockey team. For some fans, the tragedy was met with a glum sort of reality acceptance, considering how many flights pro hockey players take in a season. Truly, as Internation-
al Ice Hockey Federation president Rene Fasel said, the crash marks what he called “the darkest day in the history of our sport.” “…This is not only a Russian tragedy, the Lokomotiv roster included players and coaches from 10 nations,” he said. Among the veteran NHL players who died are popular former defenseman Brad McCrimmon, former Vancouver Canuck Pavel Demitra, and other NHL vets Joseph Vasicek, Karel Rechuneck and Ruslan Salei. McCrimmon played in the NHL and most recently served as an assistant coach with the Detroit Red Wings before taking the Yaroslavl job in May. McCrimmon played defense for six NHL teams—Boston, Philadelphia, Calgary, Detroit, Hartford and Phoenix in a 17-year career, appearing in 1,222 regular-season games in the NHL. He was an assistant coach with the New York Islanders, Atlanta Flames, and Calgary. I had the pleasure of meeting McCrimmon
on a number of occasions over the years, just enough times to recognize what a classy, professional, caring and kind man he was. My condolences to his friends and family. The horrendous crash follows on the heels of three separate sudden deaths of current or recently retired NHL enforcers—Rick Rypien, Derek Boogaard and Wade Belak—with at least two of them being apparent suicides. Meanwhile, we also learned Wednesday that Sidney Crosby is still not fully recovered from his serious concussion suffered part way through last season. Crosby has stated he will not return to the Pittsburgh Penguins club until he is 100 per cent healthy. Crosby’s condition has continued to put a heavy focus on the need for the NHL to eliminate headshots and or physical contact to the head. Hopefully this offseason torrent of heartaches and headaches has now come to an end. ••• Interested in volun-
teering some time to your community but not sure how or where? This Saturday may hold the solution. That’s when the 14th annual Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair kicks into action at the Parkinson Recreation Centre. This year’s fair theme: Volunteers. Passion. Action.

Volunteer Speed Matching is on at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Volunteer speed matching is a high energy approach that has all the characteristics of speed dating with score sheets and a stopwatch. ‘Daters’ move from table to table and the bell sounding every four minutes.

The B.C. Wildfire Management Branch said Thursday its crews are making good progress extinguishing the remnants of the Bear Creek Park fire. Since the blaze was fully contained, it has only been smoldering. While the evacuation order affecting 550 Traders’ Cove residents and campers at Bear Creek Provincial Park was lifted late Tuesday, and Westside Road re-opened in the area, crews have continued to mop up after the blaze, which came within 400 metres of some houses in Traders’ Cove.

According to the wildfire management branch, fire activity was very quiet Wednesday night and Thursday morning, with only smoldering ground and no active flames. But it did warn of smoke in the area as a result. The fire is believed to have been human-caused and an investigation into how it was started is currently underway. There are still 40 prov-
incial firefighters on the scene but crews from the West Kelowna and Wilson’s Landing fire departments are no longer on scene. Air tankers and helicopters, which were used to fight the fire at its height on Tuesday, have also returned to their bases but could be recalled if the flames flare up again. Crews had a water distribution system of pumps
and hoses around the perimeter of the fire Thursday morning. The Bear Creek Fire is one of four forest fires larger than 10 hectares currently considered active in B.C. They others are in the Blue River area in the northeast part of the province, near Hostli Lake in the Prince George fire centre and a 27-hectare fire west of Kamloops.

The next morning was another story, as I could clearly see a pall of heavy smoke drifting over the lake from the area of the point where Bear Creek empties into Okanagan Lake.

Judie Steeves fire was heading our way, so it was difficult not to be concerned. With the exception of one single devastating rainstorm, August has been one of the driest on record, and that didn’t change as a strong high pressure system held into the beginning of September, when normally temperatures cool down because of shorter days and other seasonal changes. Grape growers are confident it’s payback from Mother Nature because spring was late and early summer unseasonably cool, slowing the ripening process. See Steeves A19

Time to stress the importance of wildfire prevention in the woods Steeves from A18 Whatever the reason, wildlands around us are so dry and the sun so hot that there’s reason to be extremely concerned about the danger of wildfire, at a time of year when our concerns are normally over. Human-caused is the verdict of authorities investigating the cause of this week’s conflagration. But to take that a step further, it’s likely the cause was a fire lit by partiers in the area who did not, obviously, feel there was any need for them to undo what they’d done by lighting a fire, or someone discarding a lit cigarette. It’s an attitude we need to take very, very seriously, and figure out how we can change it. I was appalled and amazed at reports during the hot, dry weather of late August that people were leaving campfires all over the province without bothering to put them out. As a society, somehow we’re not educating people about the potential
of such actions, and we must do so. But, first, we need to ensure there are severe penalties and the enforcement to give teeth to legislation, for irresponsible use of fire-starting materials. Then, we must begin with youngsters in school, and bring home to them that they must respect the use of fire or face the consequences. Aside from the property damage they do, wildfires kill, both people and animals, and more of them are caused by people than natural occurrences, such as lightning. Next week, hunting season for deer opens in the Okanagan, so there will be more people out in the forest. If they’re responsible, that’s a good thing, because more eyes helps to prevent fires from getting out of control, and can help at fingering those who are being irresponsible. Local conservation officers warn that they’ll be out there checking to ensure everyone is behav-
ing safely and not carrying loaded firearms in vehicles, shooting from the road or night hunting. Expect to be stopped in road checks at some point during your hunt.
This is also the time of year when hungry bruins are foraging in neighbourhoods to fatten up for their big sleep. So make sure you clean up any ripe fruit on
or falling from trees, garbage, barbecue grills and pet food so you’re not attracting them to your property. Dry conditions in the forest mean they are hun-

Sometimes the cause of an illness is right under our nose F
inally, what is common knowledge to those who suffer from chemical sensitivities is coming to light. Recent research pub-
lished by the Air Quality, Atmosphere and Health Organization shows that laundry vents emit hazardous air pollutants when people use popular
fragrance laundry detergents and dryer sheets. In fact, when the air from dryer vents was studied, they found more than 25 volatile organic
compounds lurking there including seven hazardous air pollutants. Two of the chemicals that were found are acetaldehyde and benzene,
which are classified as carcinogens by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. But it doesn’t stop at laundry products.
What about all of the hazardous chemicals that are found in pesticides, or new textiles and products used in home construction and renovations?
Then add on top of that your perfume, deodorant, shampoo, makeup, soap, or sunscreen that you put on your skin that are being directly absorbed into your bloodstream. Unwittingly, we are immersing ourselves in a toxic stew on a daily basis.
EMOTIONAL RESCUE
Annie Hopper
+VU»[ -VYNL[ [OL <KKLY 6ULZ Many people are unaware of the best way to recycle milk, cream and milk substitute containers. Bringing them to the Return-It Depot guarantees they’ll be turned into something useful like cardboard boxes and tissue paper. So why not change your good habits. Return your milk containers with your refundable beverage containers. It’s easy. Quickly rinse them out and crush them. Remove any caps and bring them too, because they get recycled separately. There’s no refund on milk empties because there’s no deposit when you buy, but you’ll be doing the right thing. So on your next trip to Return-It, bring the udder ones too.
NOW YOU KNOW WHERE THEY SHOULD GO.
For locations: return-it.ca/milk 1-800-330-9767
So you’re probably thinking that if all of these products were really that horrible, they would be pulled from the shelves. Well, let’s think back to how long it took the government to admit that smoking was hazardous to our health. In more recent years, seemingly innocent wares such as plastic baby bottles (bisphenal A) and certain children’s toys (lead) have joined the list j of products that contain chemicals that are hazardous to your health. Who knew? Awareness is growing but the government agencies in place do not have enough resources or time to study the thousands of chemicals that are found in products that we commonly use in our day to day living. Nor would they be able to conduct studies that would show the accumulative effect when combining so many different chemicals. So why is this information so important? Accumulation of chemicals causes toxic trauma to the brain and body. It affects the cells ability to protect itself, to manufacture energy, absorb nutrients and eliminate waste products. Toxic trauma also affects brain function and triggers a primitive, self protective mechanism in the brain and an inflammatory response. It’s like an emergency alarm switch gets turned on and gets stuck in that position. The resulting neural damage or disorganization of neural networks from toxic trauma results in a hyper vigilant and maladapted stress response that exhibits in an array of physical, psychological and emotionSee HopperA19

n the early spring of 2010, Wayne Goreski attended my introduction to xeriscape class. He was planning to take out the lawn in his small front yard and xeriscape by laying down landscape fabric, covering it with rocks and adding a few plants. Within a month of him taking the class, I received before, during and after photos of his project. Along with the pictures, he offered the following comment: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Gwen: Here are a few pictures of my spring xeriscape project. I am so pleased with how it turned out and have received many compliments. I followed your guidanceâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;no stones except the walkway, no filter cloth, and used drip irrigation. I mixed some native
and non-native plants for summer colourâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and voilaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all done. I have lots of bees and butterflies. It sure makes grass look boring.â&#x20AC;? Among the flowers Wayne put in his front yard were Diabolo ninebark, coreopsis, dotted gayfeather, gaillardia , yarrow, echinacea, Russian sage, bachelor button, rudbeckia, daisy, catananche, and chicken and hens. He also planted mosquito grass (blue gamma), blue oat grass, Elizah blue fescue, fountain grass and feather reed grass. As well, he recently entered his garden in the Okanagan Xeriscape Association Xeriscape Garden Contest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love my garden and wish to share with others how you can have a more beautiful front yard with no grass and much less water usageâ&#x20AC;Śgrandkids love it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Believe it or not, my answer was “apply early.” Don’t wait until the last minute to make this decision and expect to start school a month later. Unfortunately, this is happening to some young adults right now who realize maybe they don’t want to continue with that summer job into the fall after all, and now they would rather be going to school. They apply to the college in mid-August (or much later in some cases), and lo and behold, even if we can process their application— which means they get all their documentation to us such as their high school transcript—many of our first-year courses are full and they might not be able to register in all the classes they need. This is especially true for students wanting to attend the Okanagan College Kelowna campus. This forces some students to travel to our Penticton, Vernon and Salmon Arm campuses because this is where we have some spaces left. It also has some students opting
to enroll in distance education courses, which for some works out quite well if they have family and work Jane commitments. Another big Muskens problem with waiting until the last minute is the ability to secure student loan funding. Currently, Student Aid BC is busy processing applications submitted in late July and early August. Students who apply late usually don’t find out whether they have funding until well into the school year. Many colleges and universities will allow students with valid student loan applications to pay their fees once their loan is processed and they receive their money. If a student hasn’t applied for the funding and hasn’t paid, these students will most likely be removed from their courses for non-payment. You can apply for a student loan well into the fall term. Although this date may seem late, it is there to help students who start school and then realize they may need a loan after all to be able to get some funding. One of the risks in waiting to apply for a student loan until short-
SCHOOL’S IN
ly before or after school starts is that you may find out well into the school year that your application has been denied. In other words, you don’t qualify for a student loan. What do you do now? You are in the middle of your first semester of a four-semester program and you don’t have enough money to keep going. You’ve already invested in books, one semester of fees, as well as the time and effort you put into your courses. Now you don’t have enough money to move onto the next term. This is what I would call the worst case scenario for most students; something that could have been avoided if the student had applied early. So even if it’s September and classes have just started, my advice is to begin thinking about applying early if you know—or even think— you have a date with post-secondary education next fall. Okanagan College will open applications on Nov. 1 for the September 2012 fall intake. Don’t wait until the last minute unless you understand the implications and are willing to accept them.

Sylvester picks Abbotsford over Freiburg Coyotes gather large STAFF REPORTER
and talented roster
Kelowna’s Dustin Sylvester may have found the European lifestyle a little different than he was used to last season but when it came to hitting the ice, it was business as usual for the former high scoring Western Hockey Leaguer. Playing in Germany’s second division, Sylvester led Freiburg in goals when he tallied 35 snipes in his first season overseas. And that turned into a ticket back to North America for the 5-foot-8, 180 pound Kelowna Minor Hockey product who has signed a one year contract with the Abbotsford Heat of the AHL, the minor league team of the Calgary Flames. “I had a good year personally but our team wasn’t that good,” said Sylvester this week as he continued off season preparations for the upcoming hockey season. “I played with good players so that helped me. It’s more of a skilled game over there with the bigger ice so I enjoyed it.” Sylvester’s scoring prowess led to a couple of offers to return to Europe—this time in Germany’s top league the DEL—but when an offer was tendered by the Abbotsford Heat it was enough to coax Sylvester back from overseas. “I liked it in Europe but from talking to guys that were playing there I figured if I’m going to give it a shot over here (North America) I might as well do it while I’m still young,” he said. “It’s the
As the Okanagan College Coyotes head into its fourth season in the Canadian Colleges Baseball Conference (CCBC), they will do it with what the team is calling its most talented and largest roster ever. And the team has also added an experienced coach to its staff in former collegiate player and PBL coach Lyall Foran. A Delta native, Foran has been coaching the Medicine Hat Monarchs of the Alberta-Montana American Legion League for the past three seasons and also has coaching experience in American university as well as in the BCPBL. A catcher during his playing days Foran joins head coach Geoff White and assistant Jared Johnson as Coyotes’ coaches. “I’m excited to have Lyall join our coaching staff,” said White. “He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to our program. We are looking forward to him working specifically with the hitters and catchers. I am confident he will do a tremendous job in advancing the development of our athletes.” Foran brings an impressive resume to the Coyotes. As a player he was drafted by the Atlanta Braves and hit .370 at NCAA Div. I school Norfolk State. An injury to his throwing arm eventually led him into coaching and landed him in Kelowna. The Coyotes are head-

My family will be able to see me play which will be nice.” Sylvester will be even closer to home beginning this weekend when he joins other prospects from the Flames organization at the Young Stars Tournament in Penticton. Other teams involved in the tournament, which runs Sept. 11 to 15 at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton, are the Vancouver Canucks, San Jose Sharks, Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets. “It’s going to be exciting,” he said. “I know a

bunch of the guys that are playing on other teams that I haven’t played against so I’m looking forward to it.” For the former five year veteran of the WHL,
the Young Stars tournament will be the start of a new journey as he looks to climb within the Flames organization with the end goal being playing in the NHL. “I’m just going to go in with the mindset that I’m going to make the team in Abbotsford,” he said. “I’ve had to overcome things my whole life with people telling me I’m too small but I’m going to go in there and play the way I play and see what happens.” While Dustin gets set to try and make the AHL team in Abbotsford, his younger brother Cody is
getting set for another season with the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL. Cody is coming off a season where he had 32 points in 59 games as an 18-yearold with the Hitmen and is back in Calgary as a 19-year-old. Even when he was playing in Germany, Dustin was able to keep an eye on his younger brother. “I paid quite a bit of attention to Cody’s game,” he said. “I was always checking the WHL web site and we stayed in touch. He’s doing pretty well for himself and I’m pretty proud of him.” kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Now with three years in the CCBC, manager Bill Bayne says the team is becoming well established. “Our program is getting well known across Canada and is attracting quality players and students not only from B.C. but from several other provinces,” said Bayne. “We’re even getting inquiries from the U.S.” Once the fall exhibition season is over around the end of October, the Coyotes will begin indoor training including strength and agility at Global Fitness and batting at the indoor cages at Elks. The spring schedule exhibition games start in late February. The league schedule starts the last week in march with the Championship Tournament in mid-May.

There is plenty of junior hockey to be seen around the Central Okanagan this weekend as the Kelowna Rockets, Westside Warriors and Kelowna Chiefs all continue their exhibition seasons with home games. The Rockets are playing a home and home series with the Kamloops Blazers as they head to Kamloops tonight (Friday) before returning home to host the Blazers at Prospera on Saturday night. The Rockets enter the weekend having won their first two exhibition games last weekend, beating Vancouver and Victoria. The Rockets will be icing a team that is missing many of its veterans as players have started leaving Kelowna to go to various NHL training camps. The Rockets have seven players—not including defenceman Tyson Barrie who went straight to Colorado without attending Rockets camp—who will attend pro training camps. Mitchell Callahan is expected to stick in Detroit’s pro system while the other players are expected to be back with Kelowna. Shane McColgan is heading to New York to skate at the Rangers pro camp while goalie Adam Brown is in Penticton with the Oilers prospects at the Young Stars tournament (see story this issue). Brett Bulmer and Colton Jobke are taking part in a tournament in Traverse City with Minnesota prospects while Zach Franko is heading to Detroit’s camp and Jessey Astles will attend Pittsburgh’s camp.
There will be a definite Kelowna connection when hockey prospects from five NHL teams suit up for the Vancouver Canucks Young Stars Tournament in Penticton beginning on Sunday. Kelowna Rockets netminder Adam Brown will be among the talented young hockey players taking part in the tournament that will take place from September 11 to 15 at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton. Brown will be joined on Edmonton’s team by Curtis Hamilton, the son of Kelowna Rockets general manager Bruce Hamilton, while fellow Kelowna Minor Hockey product Dustin Sylvester will be playing with Calgary’s prospects. Sylvester signed a pro contract this summer with the Abbotsford Heat (see story, sports front). Prospects from the Canucks, Oilers, Flames, the San Jose Sharks and Winnipeg Jets will all be suiting up looking to make an impression on their respective teams.

New soccer program groups kids by skill rather than age An international soccer player who now calls the Okanagan home is hoping to bring skills training to soccer kids across the Okanagan. Jan Prochazka has started a program called We Teach Soccer, an after school soccer program aimed at teaching kids skills in a fun and developmental environment. “This program is catered towards all ages and I base the groups on skill level rather than age,” said Prochazka. “My opinion is players learn
from each other. I want to provide an environment where kids practice against each other and everyone wants to be as good as their best friend or someone who is better than them.” Prochazka is originally from Sweden where he played professionally for a time. He also played NCAA Div. I soccer in San Diego before relocating to the Okanagan and played last summer for the Okanagan Challenge. With big numbers of
Jan Prochazka youth enrolled in soccer throughout the Central Okanagan, Prochazka says there is a need for skills training instead
of just having kids play games and chase after the ball. “That’s one of my pet peeves,” he said. “When I see young kids just running around and they don’t really know what’s going on. “I’m trying to challenge them, see what skill level they are at and give them drills based on their skill.” Prochazka’s first session of We Teach Soccer has more than 20 kids enrolled. Players have one session per week plus are
Falcons seek next summer’s recruits As the bells chime for the new school year in the Okanagan the Kelowna kFalcons are already thinking about summer holidays. Head coach Al Cantwell, pitching coach t Lloyd Gage and general manager Mark Nonis have begun assembling the 2012 edition of the Falcons. The threesome is scouring the finest schools across Canada and the United States to find the best talent in the Division One, NAIA and the junior college circuit. For Nonis, this is his seventh year recruiting players and says he likes
to recruit 36 players for 28 roster spots. “Over the years I have found 36 players seem to work. That way I have extra guys in case I lose one or two the draft (Major League Draft in early June), or a player gets an injury or needs to attend summer school.” Recruiting players is a full time job from midAugust to mid-September. The reason recruiting is done so early for the following year is a direct result of why college baseball has become so competitive. Players are, for the most part, on full or partial scholarships. Schools have a lot invested in these
student athletes and expect to get the very best from them. Recruiting athletes to attend a university or college has become “big business” and usually the school that can offer more gets the recruit. Players are not paid at school nor are they paid in the West Coast League (WCL). Payment is a direct conflict with their amateur status and if a player accepted money they could be considered a “professional” and be removed from the school program. For most schools it is mandatory for their players to continue to play when school is out. It
gives players another chance to improve their skills. For example when a player comes to the Falcons he’ll get another 150 at bats or 30+ innings on the mound to improve, develop and work on something new in preparation for the next school season. As the Falcons and the WCL’s reputation continues to grow, schools are now contacting individual teams to place players before other schools beat them to the punch. “It’s an example of how competitive the extension of the collegiate season has become,” says See Falcons A30

part of June, but then don’t resume until after Labour Day. Nonis and Cantwell need to be abreast of this fact and need to balance their recruiting. Recruiting Canadians has also become a little easier for Nonis. “The talent level, especially here in B.C., has skyrocketed in the last three years. Being the only Canadian team in the WCL, I like to have some Canadian flavour on the team and have the kids be able to hold their own.” Last season the Falcons had seven Canadians on the roster and Coach Cantwell is also from ‘north of the border.’ The total is the most the teams has ever had in one season. To date the threesome has tentatively placed 28 players on their 2012 roster. That number seems to be bouncing up and down each day as the larger west coast schools are back in session. So as most students head back to the classroom, the Falcons have their eyes on June to August 2012 and a run to a WCL Championship.
You can meet Vancouver Canucks defenceman Dan Hamhuis this weekend and at the same time help out the B.C. Chapter of Hockey Ministries International. Hamhuis will be the guest speaker at a Hockey Ministries International fund-raising brunch on Saturday in Kelowna. Hamhuis is coming off his first year with the Vancouver Canucks after signing a multi-year contract prior to last season. A Smithers native, Hamhuis will be the guest speaker and will sign autographs at the event, to be held Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at the Evangel Church on Gordon Drive in Kelowna. Hockey Ministries International has been in operation since 1977, working at every level of hockey to support the spiritual needs of hockey players.

schools in the western states like Oregon State, Gonzaga, University of San Diego and the University of Washington. As one of the top four summer collegiate leagues in North America, the WCL is starting to see some schools in the SEC and some of the eastern campus’ sending players west. Enter Coach Cantwell. The Falcons head coach teaches and coaches at CE Byrd high school in Louisiana, a baseball hot bed. Coach Cantwell is surrounded by large baseball programs like LSU, Texas and Ole Miss and has started to pick players from these areas. For example Coach Cantwell recruited three players from LSU Shreveport for the 2010 season; Kyle Pearson, Cade Bowen and Jared Mortenson. It was the first time the Falcons saw players from this area. Another trick with recruiting players is knowing when their school returns to the classroom. A number of southern schools finish early, but classes resume in August.

Acupuncture can help conception
A
cupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an option for women who want to boost their fertility naturally, or to enhance the outcomes of assisted reproductive technologies, such as IVF. Your treatment planning will begin with an indepth evaluation of you and your partner’s condition and create a personalized treatment plan based on your individual diragnosis. The first stages of treatment are often focused on regulating your mentstrual cycle, improving pelvic blood flow and optimizing your diet to be sure your ovaries and uterine lining are getting the nutrients they need. Acupuncture and TCM can be an effective treatment choice of these fertility concerns: • Luteal phase defect • High FSH • Advanced maternal age • Unexplained infertility r• Recurrent or threatened
KEEPING YOU MOVING
Sarah Jenkins miscarriage • Endometriosis • Fibroids • PCOS • Poor ovarian reserve • Unexplained infertility. “Unexplained infertility” means that there is no medical reason within the realm of modern scientific understanding that your doctors can find to explain why you are not able to conceive. In most cases of unexplained infertility, there are indications where the problems lie in symptoms involving the menstrual cycle, feelings of hot or cold, lethargy or nervousness, and so on. One of the best ways to discover subclinical fertility problems is to examine the different stages
of a woman’s menstrual cycle. Possible indications of fertility problems include menstrual irregularities such as: • Severe PMS • Premenstrual breast pain and headaches • Premenstrual low back pain, loose stools, acne • Heavy menstrual flow • Scanty menstrual flow • Clotty, dark menstrual blood • Menstrual pain • Short luteal phase • Long follicular phase • Short follicular phase • Inhibited ovulatory phase. Each of these indications is a physical manifestation of imbalance in the reproductive system.
When we determine what energetic imbalances are causing the menstrual irregularities to appear, the infertility is no longer unexplained. And when we have an explanation, we have a diagnosis, a treatment, and a remedy. Chinese medicine can offer you a natural way to optimize your fertility during the critical four to six months before conception. Sarah Jenkins is a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine. She practices acupuncture and Chinese medicine out of Sun City Physiotherapy’s St. Paul Street location. downtown @suncityphysiotherapy.com

Making real TV with social values Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Stories make for great television. That’s one of the message Knowledge Network president Rudy Buttignol will have for his audience when he arrives in Kelowna next week to do several speaking engagements, and meet with those in the business, arts, entertainment and educational communities. “We’re like the public space in a well builtup urban area,” said Buttignol. “We make the private space even better.” Part of that equation means eliminating reality television. When the Knowledge Network presents a real program— what’s commonly known as a documentary—one can be guaranteed the information is actually real. The network does commit itself to crafting great story lines for both its documentary and fictional programming, rather than simply throwing a bunch of people in a situation to see what will happen, he said. Buttignol doesn’t begrudge commercial networks their reality programs or the style of programming that makes shows and series come in pre-defined season sets, but he says there are other ways of doing things. European comedies and dramas, for example,
CONTRIBUTED
RUDY BUTTIGNOL, of Knowledge Network, will be in Kelowna Sept. 15 to spread the word about what the network does and ask the question, What’s real TV. run in lengths defined by story content rather than time slots available. When the scripts run out, so too does the material on air. This usually leads to a few awkward moments in the communities he hits, mind you. “The most common question is: ‘Why do repeat your programming so much?’” said Buttignol, noting it’s often followed quickly by a “Why don’t you repeat my favourite program more often?” The answer, of course, is a big part of the reason the network, also known
as B.C.’s public broadcaster, is touring the area—funding. The Knowledge Network is funded in part by the provincial government and in part by voluntary donations and they need to get the word out about what the network does and find out what viewers are looking for in order to stay alive. In addition to providing televised coverage of galleries, artists, ballet and opera performances which people outside major urban centres may not have regular access to, Buttignol says he thinks its important people
understand the network is also one of the few free cultural content providers available in B.C. and has value in its egalitarian nature. Provided as part of the very basic cable access, the Knowledge Network concentrates on providing programming aimed at literacy with good social values which young families and really anyone, regardless of socioeconomic standing, can access. As for those pesky questions about the decline in television viewership that keep making headlines, he says Know-
ledge Network has really only had to make a few adjustments. Now available on a number of platforms, people can watch the network’s programming from their computer, iPad, cell phone, any place, anytime—though the bulk of viewers still prefer to turn on “the tube.” To give him your thoughts or find out more about Buttignol’s view on the world, and the views presented on the Knowledge Network, there are plenty of opportunities next week. Buttignol will speak to the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce luncheon on Wednesday, Sept. 14, before stopping in at the Centre for Arts and Technology for a discussion group. In the evening there will be a donor reception at the Delta Grand Hotel. There will be a Filmmaker’s Roundtable discussion at The Grand, 5 p.m. on Sept. 15, followed by a public screening of a selection of short films on leading artists, performers and designers living and working in B.C. at the Paramount Theatre, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The network will also do private consultations with local arts and cultural workers.

Jennifer Schell Erin Lewis’s dad, Dr. Rick Wilkerson, flew to Port Au Prince, Haiti in 2010 and while working at a hospital, became aware of a shelter nearby that was filled with children. This make-shift shelter was being run by a woman known as Mamma, a 70-year-old grandmother, who was caring for more than 50 orphaned children with little food, clothing or medical treatment available. Dr. Wilkerson’s big heart led him to organize a group in his native Iowa, allowing him to now officially adopt the orphanage. Now Lewis, obviously her father’s daughter, is spreading the love and has organized a Pajama Jam at her and her husband’s family winery in East Kelowna, The Vibrant Vine.
YOU COULD provide pj’s and more for these orphaned children in Haiti. Lewis came up with the idea from her eldest daughter whose birthday is Oct. 15. It was her idea for all her friends to donate pj’s to kids without them instead of getting gifts for herself. The best part is that the pj’s will be hand delivered by her dad to the orphanage. Erin and her husband Tony hope to collect 68 pairs of pajamas—one for each child there. “Donations can be made at anytime,” Lewis said, “however, on that day we want to take pictures of the people that are donating because the kids in Haiti love getting pic-

LOVE Takes Root has a direct link to the orphanage and, consequently, 100 per cent of received donations through the web site go directly to the orphanage.

The magazine, Volunteering Central Okanagan Style, has hit the streets in time for the 14th annual Volunteer Fair. More than 5,500 businesses and organizations received their free copy this week. “It is an entertaining read while sitting in waiting areas at the hair dresser’s, mechanic’s or doctor’s office,” says Laurel D’Andrea, publisher of Beyond 50 magazine. You can pick up a free copy at the Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair this Saturday, Sept. 10 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. at Parkinson Recreation Centre. Over 80 displays
staffed by nonprofit organizations will feature ideas for you to become involved in our community. Here are comments from last year’s fair. • Great energy levels; positive atmosphere; very well run • Met a lot of great people; surprised at turn out • Awesome magazine! The info was valuable and easy to follow. To make the most of volunteering, interview yourself to get a clear-

er idea about why you want to volunteer, what you hope to get out of volunteering and what kind of difference you want to make. Ask yourself whether you want to spend your volunteer hours forming relationships or helping with background tasks. Is your time shortterm, project oriented, longer term or perhaps seasonal? Think about the skills you want to share or maybe you want to learn new skills.

CALLED the World’s Most Famous Beach since the 1920s, Daytona Beach meanders for miles along Florida’s Atlantic coast. The hard-packed sand makes it one of the very few beaches in the United States on which you can drive you car.

More to Daytona Beach than revving engines Mary Ann Anderson CONTRIBUTOR
Daytona Beach, Fla.—Biker babe, I’m not. NASCAR fan? Uh-uh. Beach bunny? Nope, don’t think so. I’m way past the weight limit on being either a babe or a bunny. But it is late evening and I’ve found myself
driving along Daytona Beach, on Florida’s Atlantic coast, easily blending in with true biker babes, racing fans and beach bunnies. And I’ve just come from visiting Daytona International Speedway, after having feasted at the Daytona Diner, a much beloved local cafe frequented by bikers. Daytona, a real sun of a beach, sort of has that
magic wand, transformation effect on you. Meandering for miles along Florida’s Atlantic coast, Daytona is defined by lots of white sand, sparkling green water and big waves, long bridges strung like necklaces across bays, golden rays and a carnival-like boardwalk that hums with sensory overload. Once dubbed The World’s Most Famous

gels element anymore.â&#x20AC;? During Bike Week in the late winter and Biketoberfest in the fall, about a bazillion motorcyclists gather to pay homage to the sport. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when leather-clad dudes riding their choppers and cruisers on the streets and beaches reign, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to be joined by their equally leather-clad dudette wives and girlfriends, children, parents and even grandparents. No joke, motorcycles are big business here, Harley-har-har. Before motorcycles, Daytonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard-packed sand beaches were known for car racing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no doubt about precisely when folks began racing each other in automobiles,â&#x20AC;? legendary racer Richard Petty once said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the day they built the second automobile.â&#x20AC;? So, in 1903 soon after cars were invented, Ransom Olds and Alexander Winton made a straightline race down Daytona Beach, which became the earliest forerunner of the Daytona International Speedway, which opened in 1959. Now tourists come from across the globe to see these hallowed grounds. On the day I toured the Speedway, a potpourri of languages filled the air, including French, Can-
adian, Dutch, Spanish and Southernâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;definitely Southern, as I overheard this actual conversation: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hot dang!â&#x20AC;? a bearded man clad in an Alabama â&#x20AC;&#x153;Roll Tideâ&#x20AC;? T-shirt laughed into a cell phone, drawing out â&#x20AC;&#x153;dangâ&#x20AC;? into three syllables. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m actually standing here in Daytona at the Speedway. Man, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so cool!â&#x20AC;? My tour, which the Alabamian joined, took us to the driversâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; briefing room to victory lane to the press box high above the 2 {-mile primary track, which, by the way, Bill Elliott once circled in 42 seconds averaging 210 miles per hour. Later I drove along Daytonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;stripâ&#x20AC;?â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Floridaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A1A Highway that runs parallel to the beach. Fun, funky mom-and-pop hotels and restaurants comingle with dining chains like Bubba Gumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Bonefish Grill and big resort hotels like Hilton Oceanfront Resort and The Shores Resort & Spa. For more intimate accommodations, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the Villa Bed & Breakfast.

Daytona from A36 tel, a Daytona landmark where Bill France started NASCAR. For local dining, Daytona is more than beachtown burgers and fries. The elegant Rose Villa in Ormond Beach is the place for an outstanding five-star dining experience—the king crab and spiny lobster risotto is a favorite. At the chic Martini’s Chop House, the jumbo lump crab martini tcomes deliciously served in a martini glass. And The Cellar, located in the thome of President Warren G. Harding, unequivocally has the best pasta dishes and wine selections in town. Want less formal? kRace fans will like Racing’s North Turn, a beachfront diner that sits on, well, the north turn of the original sand speedway. Or try the extremely

popular and bathing suitfriendly Ocean Deck for fresh seafood. As Turner says, Daytona is more than a beach. I popped into Angell & Phelps Chocolate Factory and watched candy makers mold fresh chocolate into shapes of seashells and sea turtles. I took a pass, though, on climbing Florida’s tallest lighthouse at the quaint—a cliche but it fits—1890s-era Ponce de Leon Inlet Light Station and Museum, but only because of the record heat that day. But that didn’t deter dozens of school children from climbing to the top, bless their young hearts. The Marine Science Center, which specializes in sea turtle and seabird rehabilitation, was a favorite stop, too, but I truly enjoyed the Museum of Arts & Sciences, an affiliation of the Smithsonian that actually sits inside
a nature reserve. “For a city of 55,000 people,” Turner said, “for lack of a better word, our museum rocks.” Rocks, it certainly does. The museum is one of the most diverse in the country in that it has art, history, nature and science. The complete and well-preserved bones of a prehistoric 13-foot giant ground sloth, a cousin of the anteater and armadillo, greet you at the door. It only gets better from there. There’s a visual storage gallery with a Lakota Sioux headdress and Napoleon death mask, an Audubon gallery loaded with paintings and prints and a collection of amazing artwork from former Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who once lived in Daytona.

As the cooler weather approaches, the condition of your furnace and the energy efficiency of your home may be on your minds. I just wanted to remind people that the federal government extended the popular ecoENERGY Retrofit—Homes program from June 6, 2011, to March 31, 2012, to help homeowners make their homes more energy efficient and reduce the burden of high energy costs. If you are thinking of taking advantage of the

was upset because they received a parking ticket the day before from a city bylaw officer and wanted to discuss the issue. In that moment, such a complaint suddenly seemed so trivial, but it was a reminder that despite the magnitude of the events that day, life was already moving on and the everyday challenges we face would once again occupy our thoughts and help bring back a sense of normalcy. Still, I doubt few if any of us recall the events of Sept. 11, 2001, without thinking of the men and women who put their lives on the line that day to carry out their duty under impossible circumstances. What we saw then and as we experienced in 2003 when the Okanagan Mountain Park fires threatened our community—their courage, compassion and determination during times of crisis helps us to find our strength and resiliency when our community faces adversity. Thank you to all of you for continuing to live by your motto of “Tradition of Service.”

Local Roadshow Expert Examines Some Gold Jewellery
noticed a substantial increase in the amount of precious metals such as gold and silver coming to the Roadshow, which makes sense considering how high it’s currently trading at. He added, “The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people’s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewellery boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot!”
At another Roadshow event, a woman, named Mira Kovalchek, walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that During a show near Toronto, a woman were given to her as a young child by her came in with a jewellery box that she grandfather. She Ànally decided to come had just inherited from her late aunt. “I in to the Roadshow and see what he don’t wear jewellery,” explained Barbara had given her. She was ecstatic to learn Engles, “so it was an easy decision to she had coins dating back to the late come down to the Roadshow to sell it”. She was very excited when she was able 1800’s, some of which were extremely rare. Roadshow consultant Perry Bruce to walk away with a cheque for over $2,100 for jewellery she was never going explains “We had uncovered an 1871 Queen Victoria 50 Cent piece, valued at to wear anyway. over $2,000!! She had a nice assortment of coins that were not rare dates, but Expert Elijah Gold explains, “We have
she was able to sell them for their silver content”. She explains, “I never would have thought that my old tin of coins was worth so much! I can Ànally afford to renovate my kitchen”. Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”. Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures. Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs, pocket watches, porcelain and bisque dolls, pretty much everything can be sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition Barbie’s are sought after by the Road-
show collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky Toys and Matchbox cars. Lionel Trains and a variety of tin toys can also fetch a price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition. If a collector is looking for one of your collectibles, they can always make an offer to buy it. A man brought in a 1950’s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box. They were able to locate a collector for that speciÀc toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys. So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, they will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!
See you at the roadshow!

Ford gives the 2012 Edge and Explorer an EcoBoost Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
ROMEO, Mi.: If you don’t think the automakers are doing enough for the environment, read on. While almost every manufacturer is starting to roll out electrified vehicles, the fact remains the internal combustion engine will be here for years to come. But major advances are being made and one comes from Ford with its EcoBoost technology. By integrating independent variable valve timing, piston cooling jets, direct fuel injection, more efficient turbocharging and lessening friction in internal mass Ford is
now significantly increasing EcoBoost production. In effect, an EcoBoost V6 has the power and torque of the V8 and the new 2.0-litre inline fourcylinder, the focus of this story, has the power of a V6 along with four-cylinder fuel economy. This engine will start appearing in the 2012 Ford Explorer and 2012 Edge coming this fall. With 240 hp and 270 lb/ft of torque, it has 30 more horsepower and 15 lb/ft of torque more than the 4.0-litre V6 found in the 2010 Explorer. That’s right, more ponies and torque from an engine half the size. Ford recently had a See Ford B2

Trusted for over 41 Years
group of Canadian autowriters out to its sprawling proving grounds in Romeo, Michigan, to try out the new power plant in the 2012 Edge and Explorer. The 2.0-litre appears almost tiny especially when sitting in an engine bay designed for a big V6. Other than the engine, both models are identical to the current 2011 Edge and Explorer except a 3.5-litre V6 is now standard replacing the old 4.0-litre. The 2.0-litre will be a $1,000 option and only available on front-wheeldrive (FWD) versions. All-wheel-drive (AWD) models offer strictly the 3.5-litre. A six-speed automatic is the only transmission available. We had a very busy day in Romeo with other activities such as comparing the Focus to the Honda Civic for ride and handling and the Focus against the Hyundai Elantra for fuel economy not to mention a chance to wail away in a 444 hp Boss Mustang. I did the Focus briefly and didn’t go for the Mustang as I wanted as much seat time in the Edge and Explorer as possible. I haven’t driven many Fords lately and, in fact, I believe this was the first time I’ve driven an Edge. The exercise was primarily on public roads but also a road course on the proving grounds with a lot of elevation changes and very tight corners. First up was an Explorer, the mid-range XLT model, with 18-inch aluminum wheels and the transmission with Select-
shift sequential manual mode. Four-wheel discs with ABS, and Ford’s stability control called AdvanceTrac with included Roll Stability Control (RSC) are standard on the Edge and Explorer. Very well fitted out, the Explorer lived up to its “same power as a V6” billing from launch. Responsive to gas pedal inputs, the six-speed and the 270 lb/ft of torque made merging onto the Interstate swift and clean. Later on the proving ground test track, I did notice a gap between the four lower and two upper gears when left in Drive. This was partly due to the steep grade leading down to a sweeping corner where I didn’t brake but carried as much speed as I dared before tromping the pedal to head back uphill where there was a slight bog. The Edge, despite the same drivetrian, was surprisingly different and faster. That’s primarily due to the Edge being some 500 lb lighter (3,998 lb vs. 4,503 lb) but then again, the Explorer is designed for up to seven passengers and the Edge is strictly a five-seater. I won’t say the Edge flew around the track, but the balance was much better particularly on one offcamber portion of road where the Explorer wanted to drift but was reigned in by the AdvanceTrac. The Edge was also noticeably quicker off the line and merging, not surprisingly, was faster than the Explorer. In terms of cargo volume, the Explorer is the winner with 80.7 cu ft while the Edge has 68.9 See Ford B7

Car companies sure know how to push the right buttons. Take, for example, a perfectly good base vehicle that includes all the essentials. You can buy it as it stands, or if you’re like me, the kind of buyer who has difficulty separating ‘wants’ from ‘needs,’ you can explore all the possibilities.

What if I opt for a bigger engine and nicer wheels? How about adding a little leather, some power seating adjustments, better audio, and perhaps a navigation system? It still amazes me today that a surprisingly affordable, entry-level vehicle can nearly double in price when your right brain overtakes the left.

Taxes on the full negotiated purchase price are payable at the beginning of the contract term, resulting in higher payments than payments taxed on a periodic basis, and are not reflected in advertised payments. The following terms apply to TD Financing Services contracts. Vehicles are financed over a 36-, 48- or 60-month term with payments amortized over a term of up to 96 months and the pre-determined residual balance payable at the end of the contract. At contract’s end, customers have the choice of: (i) returning their vehicle through a Kia dealership with no further obligations (except payment of a $199 return fee and excess wear and tear, mileage and similar charges if exceeding 24,000 km per year allowance); (ii) financing the remaining balance for the rest of the amortization period at then-current standard rates; or (iii) paying the residual balance indicated on the bill of sale in full. Some conditions apply. FlexChoice Financing offered by TD in Quebec is subject to different terms and conditions. All advertised FlexChoice Financing offers are TD offers. Delivery and destination fees (up to $1,650) are included. Taxes, licence, insurance, registration, excess mileage, wear and tear charges, any retailer administration fees and other applicable fees and charges are not included. FlexChoice Financing is provided on approved credit through TD Financing Services. Your Option Date is set out on your TD Financing Services Payment Advantage Loan Certificate (the “Certificate”), which contains the terms and conditions governing your Return Value Option. If you exercise your Return Value Option, a return fee of $199 must be paid by you (not applicable in the province of Quebec) and you will be responsible for excess kilometre charges, excess wear and tear, and any other amounts as specified in your Certificate. The remaining loan balance will be subject to then-applicable TD Financing Services rates and fees. Retailers may sell for less. See participating retailers for complete details. Representative example based on 2012 Sportage (SP551C) with a purchase price of $23,645, financed at 2.49% APR over 48 months with $0 down, bi-weekly payments of $157 for a cost of borrowing of $1,224 and a total obligation of $7,549, including delivery and destination ($1,650).

Responding to this appetite for pleasure, car companies typically showcase the top-trim models in their press fleets. Not that there’s anything wrong with this, but these blinged up vehicles can be priced well beyond the means of the typical buyer in the segment. So when I asked for a Tacoma, Toyota’s midsized pickup since the mid 1990s, I was pleased that the folks from public relations booked me a basic 4x4 Access Cab with fivespeed manual. It’s not at the bottom of the lineup, but still well below the top-trim Tacoma Double Cab 4x4 V6, which starts at $31,845, and with a few comfort and towing upgrades, can approach $40K. The Tacoma entry point is the 4x2 Access Cab at a modest $21,895. I road tested this model in 2008, and it’s nice to know that Toyota still offers a basic truck for the small tradesperson—one you won’t mind loading up with bricks, dirt or a load of old shingles. Back then, its $22,760 MSRP provided few amenities, with ‘essentials’ like air conditioning, power locks and power windows only available as options or in higher trim. Today’s basic truck is a better value, with its lower starting price including all these features and more. My tester for the week was a couple of rungs up the ladder, but at $25,995 plus another $2,030 for the SR5 Power Package, the Tacoma 4x4 Access Cab is still the kind of truck that will be at home on the job site or as a daily driver. First, let’s get some terminology out of way. If you’re wondering about the difference between the Double Cab and Access Cab, it’s a big one if you plan on carrying more than one passenSee Toyota B7

Back seats rudimentary Toyota from B6 ger.
The Access Cab has a pair of clamshell doors, with rear-hinged ones only releasing once the front doors have opened. Seating in back is rudimentary. Upright backrests and flip-up seat cushions (to make room for additional cargo) create a cramped, but functional passenger space for short trips. My kids, however, got a kick out of riding back there, so it does work for the younger set. The Double Cab provides a conventional fourrdoor layout, with a full bench seat for up to three passengers, foldable seat cushions and underseat storage. There’s also subtstantially more head, knee and shoulder room. The Double Cab only comes with four-wheeldrive and the 4.0-litre V6 rpowerplant. The Access Cab can be ordered with four- or six-cylinder entgines, two- or four-wheeldrive, manual or automatic transmission. Mine, the four-cylinder Access Cab, included standard features such as air conditioning, power
locks and windows, tilt and telescopic steering and six-speaker AM/ FM CD/MP3/WMA audio system with auxiliary input. It was upgraded with the SR5 Power Package, which adds a pile of content for a modest $2,030. This includes keyless entry, cruise control, power mirrors, chrome rear bumper, colour-keyed front bumper, chrome grille, fold-down front passenger seat, leatherwrapped steering wheel and shift knob, rear privacy glass, sliding rear window, 16-inch alloy wheels and more. Like all Tacomas, it was well fitted with storage that includes front and rear console boxes, rear underseat compartments and overhead bin. In back, there’s a sixfoot cargo bed, removable tailgate, step bumper, cargo bed tie-downs, four adjustable tie-down cleats, and a doublewalled composite cargo bed. The company claims that it’s as strong as steel, if not tougher and longer lasting. I like the standard bedrail system, which in-

About the only area where the 3.5-litre is betkter is towing. With properly equipped AWD models, the Edge can haul up rto 3,500 lb and the Explorer up to 5,000 lb. Besides the power, fthe big payoff is in fuel savings. The EcoBoost Edge is rated at 9.9/6.6L/100 km city city/highway compared to 11.1/7.2L/100 km for the 3.5-litre. With the Explorer the numbers are 10.4/7.0L/100 km city/highway compared to 11.7/7.8L/100 km for the 3.5-litre. As noted above, the EcoBoost option adds
$1,000 to the price of the 2012 FWD Edge and Explorer which run at $27,999-$37,999 and $29,999-$41,199 respectively. Ford officials noted in Romeo they will have five electrified vehicles on the road next year but the focus is on EcoBoost. There are some 180,000 EcoBoost cars and trucks on the road in North America right now. Much to Ford’s surprise, the V6 EcoBoost F-150 pickup is outselling the V8 and 41 per cent of all vehicles sales currently are EcoBoost. Topping it all off is the fact that Ford intends to have 90 per cent of its cars and trucks EcoBoost equipped by the 2013 model year. So the next time someone tells you the auto industry isn’t trying to make greener, cleaner cars, just say EcoBoost.

THE INTERIOR of the 2011 Tacoma is well laid out, with a nice mix of materials and textures. Comforts and amenities are as good as many family sedans.
four cylinder, however, is no slouch. Its numbers may not seem all that impressive (159 hp, 180 lb/ ft of torque), but mated to a five-speed manual (as tested), this truck is more than capable in everyday driving. Load up the cargo bed, climb a steep grade, or max out the Tacoma’s 3,500-lb towing capacity, however, and the big four may be seriously challenged. Like all 4x4 Tacomas, my vehicle was equipped with a part-time 4WD system with two-speed transfer case, automatic disconnecting differential, one-touch 4WD, engine undercover, vehicle stability control and auto limited slip rear differential. It was also equipped with a five-speed manual, which is the better bet when powering a fourcylinder truck. I’m surprised, however, that Toyota is still using a fourspeed automatic (a $1,000 option) when Nissan and Ford offer five gears. All that aside, there’s something satisfying about sitting up high, with a commanding view of the road and a shifter in your hand. That’s the way a truck
is meant to be driven. But if you intend to do some serious off roading, opt for the V6-equipped Tacoma instead—you’ll appreciate the added grunt. The 4x4 Access Cab V6 comes better equipped for the task with Active Traction Control (A-TRAC), rear differential lock and skid plates for the fuel tank and transfer case. All Tacoma models get an independent, double wishbone suspension up front (with Bilstein shocks, coil springs and stabilizer bar), and multi leaf springs with Bilsteins in rear. Ride isn’t what you’d expect from today’s crossover or sport utility, but it’s not bad for a truck. There’s some lean in the corners, as you’d expect in a tall vehicle, but it is otherwise well composed. Bumps and potholes are soaked up nicely, as are road noise and vibrations. My tester, despite being lower trim, provided excellent fit and finish. The cabin, which wouldn’t be out of place in a Camry, had a nice two-tone interior with fabric door inserts, fabric headliner and variety of textures. The big rotary HVAC knobs were simple and intuitive,
and all controls were well positioned for the driver. Even the sound system was pretty good. Also to its credit, the Tacoma has picked up the 2011 Canadian Black Book ‘Best Retained Value’ award, this year’s J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study (for the 2008 Model) and the 2011 ecoENERGY Award. High marks for a pickup truck. One that is well suited to both the rigours of town and country, and should be on your shopping list whether you are considering a mid-sized unit for work, or simply getting there.

HAYES, DEBORAH GAIL (DEBBIE) Mother, Wife, Daughter and Friend lost her battle with cancer in her home on the morning of Thursday, August 25th with her family by her side. Like the dragonďŹ&#x201A;y that came to symbolize her character, Debbie lived a short life and made every attempt to live each day to the fullest. She walked each day on this earth with grace, strength and pride. A courageous soul, she always had a smile for loved ones despite the pain and adversity she faced. Although we are sad that she is gone, we are fortunate to have known her and are all better people because of her. She is free of her pain and can now soar to new heights. You can shed tears that she is gone or smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll come back or open your eyes and see all sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left. Your heart can be empty because you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see her or be full of the love you shared. You can remember her and only that sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone or cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, or you can do what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. Debbie is survived by her children Kara and Jessie, her husband Geoff Mitchell, her mother Eileen Campbell and father Ross Campbell, her sister Valerie Louth and brother Michael, her niece Brandy and nephew Kane and her grandson Grayson. Farewell my love. For as much as I wish you could come back, I know there are many voices welcoming you on the next part of your journey. We miss you dearly and will cherish your memory forever. Anyone wishing to make donations can make them in Debbieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to the Central Okanagan Hospice Association or the British Columbia Cancer Agency. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springďŹ eldfuneralhome.com 250-860-7077.

Foreclosure mystery unraveled
Summer ends with steady home sales activity
There are many misconceptions about purchasing a foreclosure property. It is more complicated than making an offer on a home that is not in foreclosure. Also, if you have found yourself in a situation where you are nearing foreclosure, this will help you figure out what to do to avoid a judicial sale or foreclosure. The judicial process begins with a demand letter sent to the borrower, which gives the borrower a short amount of time to pay off the mortgage. Once the demand letter is sent to the borrower, a petition is filed with the B.C. Supreme Court which starts an action called the Order Nisi that gives a redemption time to the borrower. The redemption period, which is usually six months, is given to the borrower to redeem the mortgage. This can be done by the borrower attempting to sell the property.
After the Order Nisi, one of two things will happen. The petitioner will chose to have the property listed for sale by the court by way of a judicial sale through a realtor. At this time, the lender will receive an order approving sale, where the borrower will be responsible for any shortfalls between the borrowed amount of the mortgage and the sale amount. The second option for the courts is an order of absolute foreclosure. If the redemption period has expired and if the property is worth the same amount as the mortgage debt or more, the respondent borrower is judgment-proof (i.e. no assets or money to apply towards deficiency) or there are no offers under a judicial sale, the lender can seek an absolute order of foreclosure. That allows the lender to become the new registered owner and all borrowers are wiped off title. No further action can
be taken against the borrower after the court has granted the order absolute. Once a judgment is placed against a property it is placed on the market with a realtor. At this point a buyer can make an offer on this property. The purchase process for a foreclosed property is not like a property that is normally listed that is not under foreclosure. What happens is: 1. The buyer makes an offer to purchase the property and there is a subject period where the purchaser removes subjects such as financing, appraisal, home inspection, etc. 2. The subject free offer goes to court. Once in court the vendor’s lawyer presents the offer to the judge. 3. The judge asks if there are any other parties in the courtroom who want to submit an offer. If not, and the offer is market value, the judge will approve the sale. If there
are competing offers, the judge will instruct all parties including the original purchaser to leave the courtroom and resubmit their final subject free offer in a sealed, envelope to the vendor’s lawyer. 4. After all offers have been submitted, the offers ares reviewed and the best offer is given the legal stamp of approval. All offers made at the court level must be subject free offers. As you can see, buying a foreclosed property is not as simple as many think. Even if you have an accepted offer on a foreclosed property, there is a high likelihood that there will be other offers once you reach the court proceedings.

Housing industry looks for relief CONTRIBUTOR
The rejection of the harmonized sales tax has created a boatload of uncertainty for the B.C. housing industry. B.C.’s move to the HST in July 2010 added seven per cent to the cost of labour in home renovations—a tax that wasn’t applied under the PST. New homes over $525,000 are also taxed under the HST—for the time being. Now, in the wake of the referendum, contractors in B.C. are caught in the transition back to the
provincial sales tax, which Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said would take 18 months. Peter Simpson, president and CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, says the B.C. government didn’t offer up much of a tax plan that businesses can use for the intervening year-and-a-half. Will B.C. residents step away from the market? Simpson says no one can predict the exact outcome, but he expects consumers will put off some reno projects, lowering revenue for contractors.

by reports of American economic instability have cooled consumer confidence and overall demand in most B.C. markets, and volatility in the equity markets could result in further belt-tightening and apprehension about making big purchases moving into fall. “However, we’re hopeful the B.C. government will reveal its HST transition plan quickly to alleviate some market uncertainty. ” Jorgenson says the results of OMREB’s boardwide monthly buyers survey profiling who the buyers are, what they are buying and where they are from shows that the majority of buyers are from within the local region. First-time buyers and move-up buyers are a driving factor in regional property sales.

leaky roof will get taken care of, he says, but a kitchen or a media room reno may have to wait. One solution would see the province offer tax rebates for renovation projects between now and the shift back to the PST,j but Simpson says nothing like that was mentioned by Falcon or Premier Christy Clark after the results came out—even though she said the Liberals had prepared a Plan B, just in case the HST was rejected. “They need a Plan C, because Plan B is not cutting it for our industry right now,” Simpson says. “This whole HST has been a debacle since it was introduced in July 2009 and it will continue 18 months from now.” He says the government needs to come up with a plan to get people to pull the trigger on renos and home purchases immediately, not in 18 months. “There has to be some kind of system that makes it neutral whether you do it now or wait,” he says. “They have to address these issues.” Simpson notes that by the time it’s all said and done and B.C. moves back to the PST, four years will have passed since the HST was introduced.

Artist’s home is a gala for the eyes—both inside and out Kim Hone-McMahan CONTRIBUTOR
Cars routinely inch by David Benn’s home in Akron, Ohio’s Kenmore area. Sometimes they come to a complete stop. The passengers gawk and point, but that’s exactly how Benn wants it. So don’t be shy about stopping out front and taking in the scenery. It’s a gala for the eyes. On the roof is a pair of mammoth fiberglass lips that serve as a chair to Kermit the Frog and a giant chicken head. There are signs advertising coney dogs and fresh eggs, bicycles galore, a very cool mailbox and a painting, by Benn, on the roof that offers a reward for his lost dog, Maggie. It seems that the pugbeagle mix that used to live on top of the house during daylight—and indoors at night—disappeared in early June. Benn suspects that someone who didn’t approve of Maggie’s rooftop resort kidnapped the pooch. “This is Camp David,” Benn tells visitors, swinging his arm over the landscape. The 62-year-old retired from Akron schools in November. For 36 years he taught art and readily jokes about what a kick it was to get paid for having fun. r When Goodrich Middle School closed a couple of years ago, Benn moved some of the contents of

his classroom into his living room, which are now piled beneath a chandelier fit for an estate. His ranch-style home is packed with loads of odds and ends. Beautiful paintings and a genre of funky artwork. What makes up the man is a mix of his surroundings—mostly fun with a bit of seriousness thrown in for good measure. Stuck to the mirror in his downstairs bathroom is a multitude of Post-it notes, scribbled with religious messages. “Overcome evil with God,” reads one, stuck to the mirror just a couple of feet away from a picture of Lady Gaga. “Oh yeah, God is on my roller coaster,” Benn said of his love for Christ. The divorced father of three got his artistic ability from his late pop, Jack, who was a painter. “My mom? She was a knucklehead,” he said, joking. Grandma, or granny as some called her, was Ellen Benn, a woman who was known as Kenmore High
School’s No. 1 Fan. So much so that the football coach used to send someone to pick her up on game nights in a school bus. And on her 80th birthday, upwards of 1,000 people showed up for a surprise party. During a recent visit to his home, Benn was sporting blue polish on his toenails. While on vacation last summer he bought his teenage daughter a how-to book about nail polishing. “Get out here and paint your daddy’s toenails,” he told her. She painted them purple with yellow flowers. “They looked so cool. It got people laughing. And I like to make people smile,” he said. Benn’s scenery paintings are extraordinary. Saying that though, there are plenty of offbeat pictures—like the one of his mother’s toenails, one foot painted black, the other red. He painted them Kenmore’s school colours when Granny was in the hospital. She died in 2006, at the age of 89. When he was a student at Kenmore, Benn played football, where he was teammate to quarterback Don Plusquellic. Later, he received a scholarship to West Virginia University where he played outside linebacker and majored in art. “Now, that’s an oxymoron,” teased his pal, Alan Fraser who was visiting from Ocracoke Island, N.C. “It’s kind of like—take your helmet off and paint a beautiful picture.”

Smaller homes attempted to satisfy first-time homebuyers Design from B24 Because of the MiPad’s small size, he said, “they work well on urban lots” as well. “There are little pockets around that allow it,” he said. Hignite has been known among southeastern Wisconsin homebuilders for sometimes quirky innovations. Previous high-end models have included a movie theater and themed children’s bedrooms, for
example. Hignite made headlines six years ago when he hired almost a dozen laid-off animation artists from Walt Disney Co. to create Miracle Studios, which intended to make TV commercials and a feature film starring his company’s mascot, Miracle Mouse. The studio at his Richfield, Wis., headquarters has shrunk to “one or two” artists, Hignite said, but there still are plans to produce the movie.
“Of course our main business is still home building, and everybody has a passion beyond their main passion or job,” Hignite said. So far, he has built two Mi-Pad homes, waiting to see now if they catch on before building any more on speculation. “It’s a launch, and we’re looking to see whether the public will accept it, because there haven’t been 1,000square-foot houses built in many years,” he said.

Ship cabin design inspiration for home design Paul Gores CONTRIBUTOR
When pondering how to construct smaller homes that young adults and renters could afford, Milwaukee home builder Tom Hignite turned his attention from the land to the sea. Cruise ships, to be exact. He studied how the cabins in cruise ships were able to shoehorn essentials of living into a small space, then figured out ways to incorporate some elements—such as builtin bunk beds and wooden lockers instead of closets —into a house containing a little more than 1,000 square feet. The result is what Hignite, owner of Miracle Homes, calls the “MiPad”—a home with three bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms and a fireplace for as little as $89,000 US. “They’re contemporary in look,” Hignite said. “They are little bit more in size than a garage. But they’re extraordinarily compact, using cruise ship technology and cruise ship design architecture to create cabins instead of bedrooms. Some of the bedrooms are six feet by nine feet and they sleep two.” While a far cry from the roomy McMansions that sprang up during the housing bubble of the last decade, Hignite’s houses pack lots of amenities in a small space. One model includes a 10-foot-by-12-foot attic play loft for children. Master bedrooms are shaped to handle queensize beds. High ceilings

MIRACLE HOMES is developing tiny, 1,000-squareft homes in his home community of Milwaukee that company owner, Tom Hignite (top photo) calls Mi-Pads to appeal to first-time homebuyers. They’ll sell for $90,000 US and they use what Hignite calls a “cruise ship design” that allows the owners to cram a lot of stuff into little space. help to blunt the smallness of the homes, which, facing the road, are only 26.5 feet wide. Patios are out the back door. Although construction of houses the size of the Mi-Pad was common during the 1950s in Milwaukee and many suburbs, houses got bigger and bigger in the years that followed. Now, such
huge homes have become harder to sell in a weak housing market and in an atmosphere of high unemployment and widescale foreclosures. There is no shortage of existing homes for sale in today’s market. Houses selling for less than $100,000 often are foreclosed properties that need a lot of work.
“We kind of looked at repo prices and decided to create a product line that would compete with that sort of repo price area of $90,000 to $150,000— and get you a new home,” Hignite said. The final cost of a Mi-Pad varies depending on what’s included and where the lot is located. One model can be developed to have five bedrooms, Hignite said. “These are targeted at renters. There’s a one-car attached garage,” Hignite said. “They are meant for people who have a nocar garage right now,” he quipped. “There’s a large marketplace in rentals that could segue into this for the same cost as rent.” Mike Ruzicka, president of the Greater Milwaukee Association of Realtors, said Hignite may be on to something. “It sounds like he might fill a niche,” Ruzicka said. Ruzicka said construction of such small homes presents a “back to the future” scenario because small homes were built en masse in the post World War II era. They could be an alternative by offering an all-new product instead of a foreclosed property that may need repairs, he said. Not every community welcomes small homes, but Hignite said he’s found that around Milwaukee are among those that do. See Design B23
