ike virtually all sprinters, past and present, Brandt Fralick and Keefer Joyce share a common bond. For both the local coach and his teenaged protege, there is no experience more liberating than exploding out of the starting blocks, unleashing the body’s raw energy and power, and ultimately reaching speeds few human beings will ever attain. “We love the grind and we love the speed,” said Fralick, a former national-class sprinter in the 100 and 200 metres. “You go out there to cut loose, you go out there to break away from the cage and all the chains that the world puts down on you. “When we pull out the fire from inside ourselves, and when we cut loose and get to top speed, it’s pure freedom. Freedom from doubt, and freedom from limitations. It’s like nothing else.” See story A3.

KELOWNA’S Keefer Joyce is the top-ranked sprinter in B.C. under the age of 19.

CLOSE-UP

Sprinter inspired to compete on 2016 Olympics world stage Sprinter from A1 It’s that sense of unbridled freedom the 17-year-old Keefer Joyce reaches for every time he takes to the track. Yet, it’s more than those fleeting moments of exhilaration that the Kelowna Secondary School student seeks from running. Joyce also has some ambitious long termgoals, dreams of one day standing alongside Canada’s and the world’s elite sprinters. And with Fralick, a velocity coach in Kelowna, providing both psychological guidance and technical advice, Joyce looks to be on the right track. He is already the topranked sprinter in B.C. in the under-19 category, and is No. 3 in all of Canada as a 17-year-old. Joyce began making waves on the national scene in 2007 when he won a gold medal at the Hershey Track and Field Championships in Pennsylvania. A year later, he won a pair of silver medals in the 100 and 200 at the Canadian Legion championships. Among his wins in 2010 was the gold medal in the 100 metres at the B.C. Athletics Champion-

ships. Then last weekend in Winnipeg, Joyce set new personal bests in the 100 (10.93 seconds) and 200 (22.33) at the Canadian junior championships, competing against sprinters as much as two years his senior. There is little question Joyce is an athlete on the rise and, while he knows the road will be long with many twists and turns, he sees no point in setting his goals low. “My big goal is making the 2016 Olympics,” said Joyce. “Since I’ve been doing track, what I want to accomplish is to be on the world stage, run with the Usain Bolts, the Tyson Gays and Asafa Powells of the world. “To run with sprinters of that quality would be a great accomplishment.” And Brandt Fralick plans to do everything in his power to help Joyce arrive at his ultimate goal. For one thing, Joyce can always look to his coach for plenty of emotional inspiration. Fralick, 24, himself was once an up-and-comer on the national scene, and at 18 was a member of Canada’s sprinting team. He still holds the Okanagan Valley record for the 100 metres at 10.31 seconds.

WHAT DO YOU DRIVE?

But in 2005, a serious car accident changed the course of Fralick’s life. Struck by an impaired driver, Fralick suffered multiple injuries, including damage to his pelvis, neck, back and hips. He continued to run, including a training stint with Ben Johnson in 2006, but never quite returned to form. The pain from the accident continued to worsen until January 2008 when Fralick underwent surgery to remove the better part of two discs from his back. He lost nearly two inches in height and was told by doctors he would never run again or walk without a limp. Fralick defied all the odds and the naysayers by qualifying for the 2009 Canada Summer Games. He didn’t win but reached the finals, posting a time of 10.9 seconds. “It’s hard to live through what he has,” said Joyce. “What I learn from Brandt is that the sky’s the limit. Anything is possible. He inspires me a lot and I take it with me every day.” The Canada Games would turn out be Fralick’s final race and from that point on, he would immerse himself in his new calling—coach-

est job. I demand 130 per cent but they get the same in return.” Fralick recently returned from an eight-day visit to Jamaica where he honed his instructional skills, working extensively with sprinting coaches in the Caribbean nation. With the vast majority of the fastest times in the 100 metres run in the world this year by Jamaicans, it’s clear that coaching methods in that country are evolving quicker than in the rest of the world.

ing. And athletes like Keefer Joyce are benefitting. “I feel like I was meant to go on to something a little different so I could come back and help and teach other people the things I’ve been blessed to learn,” said Fralick, who has apprenticed under Canadian sprint coach Mike Murray. “I never got fulfilled as an athlete, but found another fulfillment and that comes from working with athletes every day. “It’s world’s great-

Fralick is passing that knowledge on to his students. “In (Jamaica) they spend a lot of time on rhythm and flow, not in the weight room,” said Fralick who runs Nitro Velocity, a coaching program in Kelowna. “They don’t believe in bulk, it’s power-strengthflow combination. It was only a matter of time before people bought into this program. It’s the way to go.” Still, Joyce’s advancement and evolution as

a runner can’t come exclusively from the teachings and experiences of his coach. Fralick said a sprinter requires a large degree of inner strength, mental focus and, as much as anything, a measure of patience to run with the best—qualities he says Joyce has in multitudes. “Keefer has a unique gift of not panicking.

You put 110 per cent in and you can compete with the big dogs. I try and stick by that.” Fralick said another key aspect of ascending through the sprinting ranks is the ability of the athlete to remain relatively healthy. Because of the intense and explosive nature of the event, injuries are a common concern. It’s how those injuries are managed and maintained that makes all the difference. “It’s like a race car, any time you redline your car, something can eventually go, so we spend a lot of time with our therapists and our team of strength coaches to make

There’s only more places to go and the ride is over. “Up until then everyday is a fulfillment and an enjoyment, we just do it because we love it.” Keefer Joyce is competing this weekend at the B.C. youth championships in Coquitlam.

We just don’t take chances.” So with all the framework and pieces in place, it seems entirely feasible that only time and experience sit between Keefer Joyce and a productive and fulfilling sprinting career.

Cops exhibit fashion flair with coloured handcuffs They weren’t the furry variety, but one Mountie’s fashionable take on handcuffs raised some eyebrows Thursday morning. As she was arresting a woman coming off the Greyhound bus, a Kelowna police officer was snapped using pink handcuffs, which prompted the Capital News reporter on scene to question the legitimacy of the equipment being used. Turns out, Mounties can exhibit some colourful flair. “I’m not aware of any policy that dictates the colour of handcuffs as long as they meet our standards,� said Con-

st. Steve Holmes. “The fur ones and the plastic ones wouldn’t be included with that.� Although Holmes hasn’t seen any colour than silver and black in use, he pointed out there’s a practical cause for colour coding. “We have a sonic cleaner (for handcuffs) and when you have a couple of sets going in and you want to get yours out it would make it readily apparent which are yours if they’re a different colour,� he said. Practicality aside, fashionable criminals may want to wear neutral tones in their future activities.

Conservation officers in Peachland invoked what is fairly new legislation in areas of Peachland on Wednesday to address persistent bear problems. The COs conducted a residential area blitz of homes in one area of Peachland, which resulted in a number of orders for occupants to remove bear attractants. Conservation officer Bob Hamilton says there’s been more bear com-

plaints from the Peachland area than elsewhere in the South Okanagan so far this year, particularly in the community’s western corner, north of Princeton Avenue. With Wednesday’s neighbourhood blitz, officers went door-to-door to talk to residents about what attracts bears and to evaluate what may be drawing bears onto their properties. They were assisted by forest compliance officers and Bear Aware staff. In the end, three prop-

erty-owners were issued a Dangerous Wildlife Protection Order to remove bear attractants. At one other residence, a number of issues were noticed but no one was at home, so officers will visit a second time and likely issue a DWPO then, said Hamilton. The DWPO is relatively new legislation under the Wildlife Act, and can be used where officers feel a serious bear attractant is enticing the wild animals to come into a neighbourhood.

Kelowna CO Ed Seitz said the legislation has previously not been used very much in the Central Okanagan yet, but there are areas where it might be a beneficial tool, such as the Glenrosa and Powers Creek areas where they deal with a lot of human/bear conflicts. Already this year, three bears have had to be taken out of that area and killed because they had become aggressive and dangerous. “People either leave garbage out or they put it out too early and it attracts bears,� he explained. Although there were a lot of problems with bears early this spring—likely because it was a late spring and green-up higher up out of the valley was later than normal—things seem to have eased off here right now as the wild berries are now ripe, he said. Hamilton said they contacted Peachland residents at 56 homes and most were doing well managing bear attractants. They took the opportunity to talk to people about the problem and how to reduce the likelihood of attracting bears. Three other homeowners were given verbal warnings about the attractants on their properties. “Sometimes the higher incidence of bear complaints can be because of natural bear travel corridors in the area, bear habitat and proximity to orchards,� he said. “But, there is a lot that humans can do to reduce and eliminate unwanted bear visits.� Although garbage is the most common attractant, pet food left out, dirty barbecue grills, bird feed and tree fruit also are enticing to a hungry bear. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Immigrant health the focus of new study Studies have shown the health of immigrants to Canada who live in large cities like Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver declines after only a few years, but can the same be said about immigrants who settle in smaller centres? And if so, why? Shirley Chau hopes to answer those questions from a study she will carry out over the next 36 months. An assistant professor in the School of Social Work at the UBC Okanagan, Chau has received a $238,000 grant from the Canadian Institute of Health Research to conduct the study involving communities in three provinces. Chau suspects the stress of moving to a new country, building a new life, new career, and trying to find their way in a new culture may play a role. She will examine if this is also the case for immigrants settling outside of large cities. The three-year study will be conducted in Kelowna, Red Deer, Alta., and Brandon, Man. Chau wants to learn more about their settlement experience by equipping participants with cameras and having them take pictures that represent their perceptions and experiences of health and wellbeing from their own perspective.

If you could buy a prepaid bus pass that covered all members of your household at a reduced price for an entire year, would you do it? And would you use it? Those are two of the questions Glenmore residents are being asked as part of a research project being done over the next few months in the area. The aim behind the introduction of this pilot project for their neighbourhood is to gather research on urban transportation use to help find solutions to issues such as reducing road congestion, vehicle pollution and promoting traffic safety. The joint initiative by the City of Kelowna and UBCO’s engineering school will seek public input at design workshops scheduled for July 19, Aug. 16 and Sept. 20. The city wants to promote sustainable transportation options in the Glenmore area as part of its goal to reduce community greenhouse gas emissions in the city by 33 per cent of 2007 levels by 2020. Given the increases since 2007, the reduction works out be 43 per cent from current levels. The workshops for the ComPASS program, similar to the U-Pass transit pass available for students at UBCO, will be held behind Glenmore Elementary School by the portables, from 6 to 9 p.m. According to Gord Lovegrove, of UBCO’s engineering school, the intent of the ComPASS project is to examine sustainable transportation options so residents can reduce their use of singleoccupancy vehicles. That, in turn, could lead to community-wide benefits such as the reduction of vehicle collisions and congestion, as well as improving air quality and improving community overall health. “Kelowna has the highest vehicle ownership and one of the highest vehicle kilometres travelled daily per capita in Canada,” said Lovegrove, a professor with the engineering school. Lovegrove worked on a study while at the Vancouver UBC campus that led to a similar community transit pass in Burnaby’s UniverCity area around Simon Fraser University. “To alleviate the issues of congestion, road safety and poor

nanced by the Canadian Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council and a UBC sustainable community development grant. A report on the research findings recommending a design for the ComPASS program will be completed by Sept. 30. If adopted by city

council, a pilot project could start next spring. If residents cannot attend the workshops but still want to provide input, they are encouraged to complete the Glenmore ComPASS online survey at www.surveyfeedback.ca/surveys/wsb.dll/ s/1g113a. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

GLENMORE RESIDENTS are being asked for input on an innovative new transit

up to

program intended to increase bus usage. air quality, we are surveying (Glenmore) residents about a community U-Pass, to be called ComPASS, to gauge their interest in more sustainable travel options,” he said. ComPASS would provide all members of a household with unlimited transit passes at one affordable price. Lovegrove said a similar program in Boulder, Co., has households pay $10 to $15 per month, and has grown from an initial 50 households to more than 1,000. The Burnaby program is a little different, he said, with passes there costing $30 per person, per month. The exact price and the design of the program

will result from the information gathered at the workshops. Lovegrove said ComPASS could also include additional features such as guaranteed rides home in emergencies, bicycle tune-ups, recreation centre passes, merchant discounts among other features, depending on the response to an online survey and subsequent analysis that will accompany the workshop meetings. “It is up to the Glenmore community to provide their input towards the ComPASS design,” he said. As for the impact on the transit system, the thought is that if more passes can be sold at a reduced price that meets or

exceeds the current revenue generated from the transit pass sales in the area, the program would not be a financial blow to the system. Lovegrove said the local transit operator and B.C Transit are supportive of the proposed program. Michelle Kam, sustainability coordinator for the city, said with 65 per cent of the city’s community greenhouse gas emissions coming from onroad traffic, getting more people to ride the bus fits in with Kelowna’s plans. The bus route through Glenmore is one of the busiest for outlying areas of the city, but the area was chosen in part because it has a very active community membership.

Private experiment with omniscient social media

"U

hm, less is more” one catty friend once said when I was babbling about lordknows-what in my teenage years. It's one of the few barbs that stuck, as it seemed to have a bit of common sense oomph. It's been applicable to makeup, accessorizing, cleavage and all sorts of writing, although the latter isn't where I show the most discipline. Most of all, it's a mantra that's guided how much I disclose about my personal life on social media sites. I'm uptight about online privacy, even going so far as to use a fake name. When a co-worker asked why, I didn't quite know how to answer. She argued my life is far from con-

KATHARTIC troversial and considering

I have nothing to hide, why would I be concerned? She was right in some ways. Rioting, looting and stealing take far too Kathy much energy so pictures Michaels of me acting like the Canucks-inspired troglodytes will never come to light via Facebook. The era when salacious pictures wouldn't have damaged my ego disappeared with film, so that's not a problem, either. But the idea of my mother seeing me doing something as benign as drinking a beer with a friend…shiversme-timbers. That's too much information for the wee lady to take, and even before Facebook became ubiquitous I realized the inherent danger of over-

sharing, although my little sister has yet to figure out. She's just taken the letit-all-hang-out approach, much to the delight (or horror) of my imaginative mother. And she's not alone. “People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people,” Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg said in an interview last year. It's a creepy state of affairs, really, but on the horizon there may be an antidote to the over-shares that have defined Facebook. Muscling into the social media monopoly is Google +. In many ways Google + is just more of the same— show your friends your pictures, your pithy one-liners and so on. But, it's also more keyed into a person's desire to lump people together as acquaintances, with whom little is shared; family, with

whom nothing is shared; and friends who you let it all hang out with. It's certainly a noteworthy development, but rather than piquing my interest, Google + has come off as a bit of a negative. For the first time in years, I'm contemplating opting out of the world that, according to an Ipsos Reid report Thursday, nearly one-half of online Canadians are visiting at least once a week and 30 per cent are visiting daily. As more of the day is taken up by social media sites, the less interesting it seems and the less I want to be there, so I've decided to spend one week free to experience life sans social media. It's not an experiment fit for the faint of heart, but I can't help but wonder if less really is more, so it's time to find out.

A Gift in Memory Makes a Difference

COMMENTS FROM kelownacapnews.com

Public should be assured police can handle stress To the editor: Charged Cop Gives a Not Guilty Plea, July 14 Capital News. No doubt Const. Mantler felt he was under a lot of stress that day. But the video clearly shows what happened.

It doesn’t matter how much experience an officer has, once he or she is given a gun and the right to use force, the public has to know that officer can handle extreme stress without losing his or her cool. It’s unacceptable to tell the public that

every encounter with a police officer could result in violence or even death because the officer cannot control him or herself.

To the editor: I agree with the lawyer that Mantler was “thrown under the bus” by the supervision of the RCMP. It is completely ridiculous to look at a 30 second video and decide if someone is guilty of a criminal offense and take away his pay. Perhaps, Mantler was trying to kick out the man’s arms (him being in a push-up position) to be able to handcuff him and didn’t mean to

strike him directly in the face. The point is we don’t know the whole story because no one has bothered to ask and no one seems to care. The point is, with every other ordinary citizen there is a proper investigation and the accused is interviewed and asked about what occurred before one proceeds with criminal charges. Why is this not the case with RCMP officers? In B.C. and only in B.C., RCMP officers

are often treated like some second class citizens. Even the Tamil Tigers are given more rights in B.C. than RCMP officers. Let them form their own provincial police force and let the RCMP come to the rest of Canada where they are properly appreciated.

video clip of this incident but there is no audio— was the driver willingly obeying the commands of the police officer when the vehicle was stopped or did he hesitate requiring “more” than the usual amount of force to ensure compliance and citizen

Children on long wait lists for serious surgeries “Sold” on the real estate board in our complex. We work way less. Perhaps because there is not enough work around. And, lest I forget, we play more golf than anyone else in the world. All of us? When it gets difficult to find courses where you can play for less than $50, many of us play far less. Am I one of those creatures whose cup is always half empty? Believe me, having lived in other places in Africa and Europe, I do know that I am very lucky to live in Canada. But my burden today is to remind us that there are some among us who wonder when their good time will come. Fortunately for us and unfortunately for them, they are but a small segments of our society and

they cannot afford expensize lobbyists. For example, if you are a teenager suffering from a curvature of the spine, you will find it difficult to agree with Maclean’s headline. A medial study found that teens who wait more than three months for surgery to correct their curved spines, face enormous odds for a successful recovery. Their surgery will be more complicated and more dangerous. Their stay in the hospital will be longer. And additional procedures may be necessary. This is what a study conducted by Dr. Henry Ahn, of St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, together with his co-authors found. A parallel study based on 64,012 surgeries at pediatric hospitals in Canada by surgeon Dr. James

▼ SENIORS

Crooks better care than elders Senior from A10 our cell-type rooms. We would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose. We would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool and education. Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ’s and legal aid would be free on request. We would have

private secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens. Each senior could have a PC a TV, radio and daily phone calls. There would be a board of directors to hear complaints and the help would have a code of conduct strictly adhered to. The criminals would get cold food, be left all

alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8 p.m. and showers once a week. Left in a tiny room they pay $1,500 per month for, they’d have no hope. Justice for all, we say. Guess what. I will never vote Liberal again. Bill Taylor, Kelowna

Wright of Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children and his co-authors came to similar conclusions. In 2007 the federal government identified these surgeries as a priority area. It’s now 2011 and my grandson has been waiting for well over a year and there is still no surgery on the horizon. He is not alone. There are long waiting lists for the most common procedures performed in pediatric orthopedics. Dr. Douglas Couremanche, of the B.C. Children’s Hospital, noted that these studies of wait times, costly as they are, only identify the problem. But they do not provide a solution. He concludes: “One of the benefits of living in Canada should be that we can afford to look after each other.”

Being a senior, I am somewhat acquainted with wait times. Still, I am prepared to wager that most grandparents would gladly wait so that our children, the more vulnerable segment of our society, receive proper care. The studies show that being at a critical developmental period, long wait times can have adverse effects with a lifelong impact. It was encouraging to note MLA Norm Letnick’s column outlining how our government intends to navigate the “boomer glacier” impact on health care. How about some attention to the children who are waiting now? They too, some 10 years from now, want to say “its the best time ever to be a Canadian.” Werner Waitkus, Kelowna

NEWS â–ź POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION

Change will remain a consistent fact of life for students I ‘‘ f you’re of my generation—part of the babyboom—you spend some of your leisure hours commenting about how much change we’ve had to adapt to over the course of our lifetimes. Well, you better work on perfecting those whining skills, for in a few years the pace of change we’ve experienced thus far will seem glacially slow compared to what we’ll be trying to cope with. Instead of wasting words talking about how fast things change, we should be asking ourselves how we can educate and train students to prepare for tomorrow and tomorrow’s top jobs,

SCHOOL’S IN

Allan Coyle when we don’t yet know what those occupations are to be. We have some ideas, of course. Things that will probably yield careers a decade from now include automation, health care, computers, genetics and alternative energy. And there are bound to be some surprises, some areas and careers beyond our imagination. As an example, a recent article suggested that

one of the new jobs will be for sinking city specialists, people who will advise coastal municipalities on how to deal with the problems that accompany oceans rising because of global warming. (The same article said that genetic counselor would be an occupation you’d find companies recruiting for in 2020. Too late—do a Google search and you’ll find there is already a national organization of genetic counselors. It seems that as quickly as you can imagine a career, it exists.) The uncertainty of what’s coming at us means course texts cannot be written that will impart the knowledge, theories and formulae that

the graduates of 2013 or 2015 will need at their fingertips as they step into the workplace. The good news is they’ll probably be able to find those on Google or Wikipedia in nano-seconds anyway.) So, the best approach in times of change such as these is to use education and training to develop the skills that will let people adapt to changing circumstances. That’s what every school board, every college and every university says it is doing—imparting the critical thinking skills that will serve the lifelong learner. We’d best hope that they are living up to that promise. If we’re doing a good

job with our students, we’re inspiring them to be increasingly curious too. It’s a must-have if we want to them to be innovative. I worry when I see a young person using his iPad, smart phone, and GPS without expressing any interest in what makes them tick. If there isn’t a modicum of interest in the magic and science that lies behind that keyboard or screen, who is going to be interested enough to find ways to make them better, to develop the next Blackberry?) At the same time that we’re culturing innovation through curiosity, we ought to be fostering a healthy skepticism in our

What good is an idea or a solution if you can’t do a decent job of communicating it? It’s asking an awful lot of our education system and our young people, isn’t it? Truth is, it’s what education and training have always been about. It’s just that these days all those skills are that much more important because of how fast things change.

Judie Steeves alpine lakes and varied wildflowers and wildlife, it’s one of the province’s standout parks, but then so are so many others. Each and every provincial park has its special natural feature—a waterfall, river, lake, mountain, trail, forest, beach, heritage building or ocean view that sets it apart. The fact is, we have a lot of such natural beauties in this province, but we could easily have paved them all over and built on them, except for the foresight of some of the pioneers of the B.C. Parks system. These were generally people with a background in management of forests

and trees, because that’s where our unique parks system has its roots—forest management. Those pioneers who had the vision to ensure some of this province’s special places were preserved for future generations; protected from development and un-natural change, deserve our eternal gratitude. And, it’s turned out to be valuable in a way even they may not have envisioned. Aside from being our lungs and our sanctuary, those special wild places now attract visitors from all over the world who come and leave behind their financial appreciation for the right to visit those provincial parks and view our natural wonders. Tourism in B.C. is based on such natural beauty as is preserved in our parks. And the pioneers who ensured such protection have handed on the torch

HIKERS SLOG UP to the Rim Trail in Cathedral Provincial Park, with Glacier Lake in the background—just one example of the incredible beauty we celebrate in our network of provincial parks Saturday on B.C. Parks Day. to us to continue to keep that vision alive and well. Now, we have a responsibility to maintain such places in all their natural beauty—not by adding commercial enterprises to them—but by paying back some of the money they provide for us through tourism and the health and educational benefits that accrue to us from our visits to those provincial parks. As we celebrate the 100th anniversary of B.C.’s park system this year, and B.C. Park Day this Saturday, it would be a perfect opportunity to pledge to pay more attention to everyday maintenance for our parks, which have been sadly neglected of late.

Instead of chipping away at their budgets and chopping basic staff like park rangers, we must reallocate funds now wasted on outrageous salaries, unnecessary severance packages, international parties, political promotion and silly studies to which no one even pays any attention afterwards. It would be criminal if we continued to let our natural beauties— what B.C. is renowned for around the world—become tattered and threadbare, or to be eroded by commercial or industrial interests with the excuse that parks need to earn the money for their own upkeep. That’s hogwash. Return B.C. Parks’

budgets to the levels necessary to provide proper upkeep and keep them shining so their admirers aren’t disappointed. We have a reputation to uphold, and a legacy to maintain. That would be an anniversary present that showed respect for our elders.

UPCOMING

As part of the Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club’s pledge to offer 50 free public events to celebrate its 50th anniversary in the community, member Doreen Wierenga is leading a Discover Nature walk in the Rutland area on Saturday. Those interested should bring lunch, wa-

ter, a looney to cover insurance and wear suitable outdoor clothing and footwear. Pets should be left at home. Meet in the front parking lot of Rutland Middle School, 715 Rutland Rd. at 10 a.m. The destinations will include Chichester Wetland Park, Mill Creek Regional Park and the lower section of the Mission Creek Greenway. The next week, Peter and Kitty Green will lead those interested in a look at the alpine flowers at Big White, meeting at the EECO at 9:30 a.m. Judie Steeves writes about outdoors issues for the Capital News. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

NEWS â–ź CRIME

Drugs uncovered in truck Local Mounties caught up to a man suspected to be behind several condo break-ins earlier this month, and in the process they got some bonus materials. A pipe, an undisclosed quantity of methamphetamine, a small bag of gold and a scale were found in the white pickup truck that was pulled over on Houghton Road Thursday afternoon. The 27-year-old driver, who was wanted in connection to break-ins at two condo buildings July 1, was accompanied by another man, 38, and a woman, also in her 30s. Another man wanted in connection to the break-in is still at large, said Const. Steve Holmes.

ALONG WITH other evidence already in bags, Kelowna RCMP Const. Collier Henneberry, an auto theft coordinator/ property crime unit member, finds small bags of what is suspected to be methamphetamine inside a purse. The police originally pulled over the vehicle because the driver was arrested as a break and enter suspect, but while talking to the two men and one woman in the vehicle, a meth pipe was spotted by a police officer in the front seat, which prompted a further search.

“At around 1:30 a.m. July 1, the two suspects broke into a condo on Durnin Road and into a number of storage lockers,� said Holmes. “A substantial amount of items were stolen, such as personal items, electronics and sports equipment.� A second apartment building was broken into at that same site, and the same two suspects were believed to be involved. At the scene of the crime a white truck was spotted, and it’s since been under surveillance, said Holmes, noting that Thursday’s arrests by the property crimes unit was related to that investigation.

New website hoped to boost tourism The District of Lake Country has recently launched a new website to support tourism and economic development in the community. The www.okanaganway.ca website emerged as a top priority from the branding exercise conducted by the municipality last year. “With the ever increasing role that having an online presence plays in current tourism and economic development decisions, the district is pleased to see this website in place

so that we may further stand out in these highly competitive areas� said Geoff Greenwell, chair of the economic planning and development committee. Lake Country development services manager Mark Koch said creation of the website was a highly collaborative effort. “There was input from various district stakeholders and the Lake Country Chamber of Commerce.� The district intends for the site to be a living entity, with regular updates

â–ź IMPAIRED DRIVING

Tougher legislation backed by RCMP Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

News that there are 50 per cent fewer deaths on the road since B.C. implemented tougher drinking and driving laws has Supt. Bill McKinnon singing the praises of the once controversial legislation. “It’s working,� said McKinnon earlier this month, in a presentation to Kelowna city council, adding since IRP came in November, fatalities down 50 per cent, serious injuries are down 50 per cent, and minor injuries are down 50 per cent. “People may say the bars are missing money, but I can’t think how much is being saved in terms of lives.� Lauded as the toughest in Canada, B.C.s new impaired-driving laws took effect in September 2010. They gave police the ability to impound cars, issue 90-day driving bans and hand out significant fines to individuals who have a blood-alcohol level was higher than .05—lower than the .08 legal limit under the Criminal Code. Initially, the provincial government projected the change in policies would cut the numbers of impairedrelated death by 35 per cent by 2013, but a 50 per cent cut in a matter of months has surprised everyone. It’s even prompted legislators to back down from their service industry placating promise to scale back the restrictions, in hopes of stimulating business, which suffered 30 per cent drop offs in revenues when introduced. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

on events happening in the community. The www.okanaganway.ca site was completed by both Zapp Worx and Reputations, two Vancouver-based consultants that specialize in design and public relations. The website also ties in the district’s existing social media program, by connecting directly to existing Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and You Tube feeds. The website is divided into three primary sections—Visit, Live and

Those sections are intended to speak to the different audiences that will use the site, while the What’s Happening and Blog sections will keep those seeking current information attune to the latest events happening in Lake Country. “I’m especially happy to see this website in place to help support existing and future Lake Country businesses, and to promote further investment in our fantastic community,� said Lake Country Mayor James Baker.

NEWS â–ź HST VOTE

Tax A or Tax B? Taking an interest step for democracy T his week I looked carefully at my ballot asking me if I wanted to “extinguish� the HST and go back to the good old days of the PST and GST. I thought, someone may as well ask me if I want an enema. Whether I say yes or no, neither answer is a particularly comfortable choice. The referendum is a trick question. We all know that.

NUTSHELL

Shelley Nicholl Either answer means we still pay taxes. There is no third option to say: “I don’t want to pay any tax at all. Leave me alone.� It’s tax A or tax B. That’s it.

I suppose I could buck the system and not reply at all. But then, no one would know what I really thought. Was I not voting because I favoured the HST but felt there could be more concessions to those most adversely affected, such as those in the service industry? Was I really in favour of going back to the other system, but wanted the amount dropped to a total of three per cent instead?

Or, was I too embarrassed to ask for another ballot because I thought it was junk mail and chucked it in the blue bin before I realized I was recycling my civic duty? No one would ever know. So, I must reply. Civilly. There is no blog attached. I can’t Twitter my comments. I have only one white circle to contend with— and three envelopes.

Unlike some objectors, I like the three envelopes. They make me feel like a spy on a secret mission. If you don’t respond, you’ll never get this close to feeling like you’re in the secret service again. Seriously, I do encourage everyone to vote. These kinds of referendums don’t come around often and we should show them respect. They are also ex-

all-out protest. It gained enough momentum for angry voters to demand recalling some MLAs. Eventually, the provincial government was forced to make some amends. Thus, our referendum. Our own vote. You’ve notice that in all of this, there is the concession of reducing the HST to 10 per cent—as long as we vote to keep it. It’s a little bit of bribery, for sure, but it’s also a decided victory for public opinion. Indeed, if no one raised a ruckus, we’d be paying 12 per cent through infinity and beyond. It messes up the whole purpose of the tax when it reduces government income, but it’s a trade off for not having to go back to the drawing board with a tax system that was onerous and out-of-date. I’m not saying the HST is exponentially better, and certainly not for many, but it’s here. So, even though neither answer on the ballot may give you a warm, yummy feeling, consider yourself part of an interesting step in democracy. It’s better than realizing you’re actually voting in favour of a tax.

tremely costly—into the millions of dollars. Just the promotion for the referendum was $1.7 million, which works out to about 38 cents for everyone in BC—or HST on $31.75. We are all paying for this. Isn’t that a nasty irony to pay for a tax vote from our tax dollars? What will they think of next? So, if we’re all paying, I urge everyone to take it seriously. Get educated. Get comfortable enough with a decision so you can fill in that white circle. I know, I know, the HST is confusing and all the propaganda just muddles things further. But, if you got through math 9, you should be able to get a grasp enough of the situation to figure out which white circle is for you. If you can assemble a barbecue, you have more than enough expertise. Being too lazy to bother is not acceptable because, first of all, the stamp is free and there’s no HST on it. Second, the HST referendum really represents democracy at its finest. Think about it. When the HST showed up on our receipts, we were angry because we didn’t understand and felt we weren’t consulted enough. The government fessed up that it could have explained it better. But, by that time, the anti-HST ranks were filling up and mounting an

your tire pressure with a gauge weekly. Remember to check the air pressure in the spare tire when you check the road tires. Check tire pressure when the tires are cold and do not bleed air pressure from hot tires. 2. Check your air filter. A dirty air filter restricts the flow of air into the engine, which harms performance and fuel efficiency. Hold the filter up to the sun—if you can’t see light coming through it, you need a new one. 3. Get rid of the junk in your trunk! Clean out your trunk to cut down on the amount of weight that your car has to carry. The less weight, the less fuel burned. 4. Slow down. One of the best ways to save gas is to reduce your speed. As speed increases, fuel economy decreases. 5. Accelerate with care. Avoid jack-rabbit starts. Automatic drivers should accelerate moderately so the transmission can shift up into the higher gears. Manual drivers should shift early to keep the revs down. These five do-it-yourself fuel efficiency tips will help ensure you get your money’s worth road tripping this summer. Making an appointment at an authorized dealer is also recommended to check that your vehicle’s performance is at its best and always follow the recommendations in the vehicle owner’s guide for more information on proper procedures.

NEWS ▼ XERISCAPING

Share your garden experience T his is my personal invitation to everyone to enter the Okanagan Xeriscape Association’s 2011Garden Contest. All residential properties in the Central Okanagan, with any water-wise/ xeriscape landscaping on their property, are eligible. August 31 is the deadline to enter. Everyone who enters is eligible for the draw prize of $500 cash. Entries received by Aug.15 are eligible for an early bird draw prize of two yards of Class A compost delivered to your garden. Thanks to Dean Dack of Classic Compost (www.classiccompost. com) for this donation. The purpose of the contest is to showcase water-wise gardens, recognize those who have created them, and encourage others by giving them good ideas for their own gardens. Photos of win-

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele ning gardens will be showcased on OXA’s website gallery. There are three categories. Homeowner installed garden—full property is for properties where all of the landscaping follows xeriscape principles. Homeowner installed garden—partial property is for properties where a part of the landscaping follows xeriscaping principles. Professionally designed and installed residential garden, full or part property. The prize goes to the homeowner with recognition to the professional.

The best garden in each category will receive an engraved, custom designed metal garden sculpture. For details about the contest and for the entry form go to www.okanaganxeriscape.org or ask at participating garden centres. Examples of what the judges will be looking for are principles of xeriscape such as mulching, appropriate plant selection, grouping plants by water needs, water-wise or no irrigation, and good design practices that create sustainable landscapes. As I have mentioned before, a xeriscape garden can be created in almost any style. The principles of xeriscape may equally be used to create a low maintenance dry hillside garden as well as a water efficient vegetable garden. For example, in a vegetable garden, use of good

soil and mulching all bare surfaces would greatly increase water retention. Drip irrigation would optimally use water with no loss due to evaporation. Vegetables could be grouped by water needs and put on different irrigation zones. The salad greens would need more intensive watering than the well spaced out squash plants. Weeds compete with vegetables for water so keeping the garden weed free conserves water. The mulch will also greatly reduce weed growth. Another example of an eligible landscape is one where the lawn area has been reduced or eliminated and replaced with water-wise plants (see the Landscape Assessment Tool at www.okanaganxeriscape.org for more details). Also check the plant database to see which plants in your garden are water-wise. If you have any waterwise/xeriscape landscap-

▼ SOCIAL POTLUCK

Dinner theatre focus on Glenmore An interactive evening of stories, food and getting to know the Glenmore community are all on the menu at the Social Potluck event this weekend. The dinner and show will take place July 16 and is the work of storyteller Gabriel Newman. Newman, a Master of

MECHANICAL A.R. DYCK

Fine Arts degree student at UBC Okanagan, explored Glenmore through its stories, and in June he hosted four intimate dinners where guests told him a story in exchange for a meal. “We had an amazing mix of stories taking place, not only in Kelowna but around the world,”

said Newman. The one-night event is free to attend, but people are asked to bring an item of food for the potluck dinner. “I love the metaphor of the potluck,” said Newman. “(Author) Thomas King said, ‘The truth about stories is, that’s all we are.’ I believe that follows through to the communities we live in. “Which stories we choose to tell becomes what we offer to the cultural potluck table of our community.” Newman created Social Potluck as his thesis project for his Master of Fine Arts degree in the UBC performance program. “We are empathetic creatures and we build community through storytelling, whether it is at the table or on stage. Glenmore has a vibrant culture, we just need to stop every once in a while and listen to it,” said Newman. The Glenmore Social Potluck is one of three projects sponsored through a partnership be-

groove on the end of the femur. These bones are held together by four main ligaments, large bands of tissue that connect the bones together and help stabilize the knee joint during motion. Other structures in the

dominant pain in damp weather. If the pain is heavy and burning then we have damp-heat, or if it is heavy and cold, we have damp-cold. Sharp pain would mean blood stasis. A common pain for older people is weak, achy knees, which would mean a kidney deficiency. It is also very important to understand where the pain is located around the knee. There are six energetic meridians that travel through the knee. When we understand which meridian is being affected, it can help us to understand which organs are being affected to determine the most important and effective acupuncture points to use. By understanding what lies behind the pain, we are able to go deeper into the problem to resolve the contributing causes. Acupuncture can be very effective to give the body the stimulation that it needs to resolve these internal imbalances so that healing can occur. It can help to relieve pain, as well as to promote healing and strengthen internal weakness that makes the knee joint vulnerable, making acupuncture a treatment option that is safe, effective, and free from negative side-effects.

lowing the ligaments and tendons to slide across it smoothly). Normally, all of these structures work together smoothly. But injury and disease can disrupt this interplay, resulting in pain, muscle weakness and decreased function. A knee injury can affect any of the bones, cartilage and ligaments that make up the knee joint, as well as the ligaments, tendons, or fluid-filled sacs (bursae) that surround your knee joint. The symptoms of knee problems can vary widely because of the number of structures involved and the range of injuries and diseases that can cause knee pain. Knee pain can be caused by an injury due to sports or a car accident, an awkward landing from a jump or fall, repetitive stress or overuse of the knee joint, sudden stopping or turning (such as in sports), hyperextension of the knee joint, degeneration of the knee joint from aging, and diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and gout. Acupuncture can be an effective way to treat knee pain. First we must find out the quality of the pain we are dealing with in order to understand the cause. For example, if we have a feeling of heavy pain we will know that a damp pattern is involved. A damp pattern occurs when the body’s internal functions are disrupted, causing the body to retain excess moisture, kind of like a basement. People with this pattern will notice more pre-

NEWS ▼ MINSTREL CAFE & BAR

Combining fine dining with some great entertainment S o, here I go again playing social convenor. It’s quite possible, even by the time this rag hits your lap, that I will still be sufficiently stuffed—in a wonderful sort of way. Even for a little fellow I have a tremendous appreciation for great food —and in Kelowna finding a great spot to eat is not terribly tough. However, my experience at some spots has proven to be exceptional. While not pretending to be a food critic, I do know what I like and I got all I could handle Wednesday night at the Minstrel Cafe and Bar in lovely Okanagan Mission. Clare and his staff at the Minstrel have rightfully gained a great reputation for fine food combined with an excellent atmosphere and top notch service. (Nicole is my new favourite hostess.) Top the evening off with some of the best live music entertainment in the valley and you have a can’t miss evening. The extremely talented Hapa were on stage (thanks to Clare’s musical connections) with a host of more top end talent also lined up for later this month and into August. I admit that the Minstrel’s poster promoting a July 18 showcase intrigues me. The band Jackie Treehorn is labelled as a “funkadelic/soultastic rockaphonic seven-piece

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge sound-storm based in Vancouver.” Alrighty then— you’ve got my attention. Tourist or local, you can’t go wrong by checking out the Minstrel Cafe– although I’d advise attempting reservations. Check out their website for upcoming talent and their menu at www. instrelcafe.com ••• If you are looking for something unique and yet plain damn comfortable in the way of music then Me ‘n Donna may just provide the tonic needed. The talented fourpiece traditional country/ roots, Americana band are performing this Saturday, July 16 at the Bike Shop Cafe on and again on Saturday, Aug. 20. Me ‘n Donna consists of the outstanding singer/songwriter Barry Mathers, his personable wife Donna, superb guitarist Gary Smyth, and banjo master Graham Maltby. Mather fans will have a chance to see him regularly again as Me ‘n Donna are also now hosting Western Wednesdays at the Grateful Fed downtown. “Anyone interested in coming down to play

some country music can contact him ahead of time at: mathersmusic@telus. net. Each week the names of the jammers will go into a draw for a Molson Canadian Epiphone guitar,” Barry explains. Music at the Fed starts at 8 p.m. And likewise, The Fed serves up a superb menu (including the best soups in the world) and topnotch friendly staff. As a bonus, if you want to yell at a local politician I am at the Fed ev-

ery Thursday afternoon now (used to be Fridays) from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. to discuss any city issue you’d like. ••• History buffs have plenty to do this weekend as well. On Saturday (July 16), the historic community of Fintry comes alive in celebration of Fintry Fair. A pancake breakfast kicks things off at 8:30 a.m. with opening ceremonies starting at 10:30 a.m. at the Fintry Manor

House. It should be a wonderful family day for all so check it out. In addition, on Sunday, July 17, the Kelowna branch of the Okanagan Historical Society will hold its annual Family Pioneer Picnic at the Parkinson Recreation Centre from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. This year’s event will also honour the 100th anniversary of Stewart Brothers Nurseries. Anyone wishing to attend is asked to please

bring a bag lunch and lawn chair. And while you have your pen and calendar out, here are two more tidbits. The 2011 Kelowna Jazz and Blues Festival will kick into note Saturday, July 23, at City Park. This is a fantastic music event put on by a very hard working non-profit society group.

Paul Latimer poverty. One potentially exciting news item occurred a few weeks ago when our province’s official opposition tabled a private member’s Bill proposing a B.C. Poverty Reduction Act. If this garnered the necessary support from all sides, it would mean a true poverty reduction strategy to be developed by the government with specific targets and timelines over the next year. I agree with our Opposition party, the B.C. Poverty Reduction Coalition, the Public Health Association of B.C. and other key groups that support creation of a wellrounded, comprehensive poverty reduction strategy for our province. It’s long overdue. It’s shameful to continue holding the highest rate of childhood poverty in the country for seven years and to see no leadership coming from our provincial government to change things for the better. If you want to read the act, you can view it online at www.leg. bc.ca/39th3rd/1st_read/ m216-1.htm. To show your support, consider writing a letter to our Premier or your local provincial representative. In addition to the poverty reduction act, the B.C. Poverty Reduction Coalition is calling for a lead minister responsibly for poverty reduction in the province and a commitment from the government that poverty reduction is a priority. . Again, I think this only makes sense and I applaud their efforts. One of the key ways to reduce poverty in our province is to increase the minimum wage as well as social assistance amounts so that all people can afford safe housing and nutritious food. Although our recent minimum wage increase and plans for future raises are a welcome change, they don’t go far enough

toward ensuring all our citizens are able to earn a livable income. Have you seen recent grocery prices or what it costs to rent an apartment these days? Some political groups and advocacy organizations are starting to endorse the idea of a living wage. The idea behind this is to base minimum payment on the actual cost of bare bones living in a given area.

‘‘

IT’S SHAMEFUL TO CONTINUE HOLDING THE HIGHEST RATE OF CHILDHOOD POVERTY IN THE COUNTRY FOR SEVEN YEARS AND TO SEE NO LEADERSHIP COMING FROM OUR PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT TO CHANGE THINGS FOR THE BETTER.

For example, in Metro Vancouver, the living wage is calculated to be $18.81 per hour or $34,234 per year for each parent working full-time. It is lower in smaller or less expensive regions of the province and is not intended to cover any luxuries, debt payments, savings or owning a home. I think this is another interesting idea in the fight against poverty— and certainly worth investigating and discussing at a government level. We can all be involved in the solution to poverty in our province by plugging in, learning about the ideas and programs that are out there and having a voice in the provincial and national discussion by engaging with your elected officials. It’s high time this issue takes a front seat in our policy and planning. Paul Latimer is a psychiatrist and president of Okanagan Clinical Trials. 250-862-8141 dr@okanaganclinicaltrials.com

RIDERS in last year's Whistler Gran Fondo—the first ever Canadian gran fondo ride. The inaugural Kelowna Gran Fondo, a 115 kilometre event, is taking place tomorrow.

▼ GRAN FONDO

Trendsetter’s ride natural fit for Okanagan Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

In cycling terminology gran fondo means big ride. Much like running's marathon, a gran fondo is the cyclist's test of endurance. On Saturday morning in Kelowna, over 1,200 cyclists will head out on a 115 kilometre ride in the inaugural RBC GranFondo Kelowna. "It's not a race, even though we time every rider and every team," said GranFondo Canada cofounder Neil McKinnon. "It's similar to a marathon where you have the opportunity to challenge yourself in a safe and supported environment." Gran fondos origin-

ated in Italy, a hotbed of cycling, but the sport is new in Canada. Last September GranFondo Canada played host to the first gran fondo in Canada where 4,000 riders took part. Last weekend, a separate company hosted a gran fondo in Penticton and this weekend GranFondo Canada kicks off its first event in Kelowna, a place organizers targeted early after finding success last year in Whistler. "We looked very quickly at Kelowna," said McKinnon. "First and foremost we looked at cycling destinations that can offer a spectacular and compelling route. The Kelowna route is scenic with incredible vistas along the lake. The climate is very

close to a true European cycling experience: The dry climate, the rolling hills, the wineries. That was the main reason we chose Kelowna." GranFondo Canada moved into the Grand Hotel a week ago and by race day over 30 staff members, 25 motorcyclists, four doctors and 34 first aid attendants will be joined by hundreds of volunteers looking to pull off the biggest cycling event in Kelowna's history. "Gran fondo's are big, ambitious, expensive, complicated and intricate events to produce properly," said McKinnon. "We're very excited. We've been working on this for a year and we can't wait for it to happen. There are a lot of moving parts but we're

going to put on a great show. We want people to come out and watch, volunteer or participate." About 75 per cent of the cyclists taking part this weekend will be from the Lower Mainland with riders from the Pacific Northwest, Alberta and the Okanagan making up the rest of the field. The average age of riders registered is 49. Organizers are hoping the economic spinoffs from hosting such an event are a major boon to the local economy. "In Whistler last year we brought in a net economic impact of almost three million dollars," said McKinnon. "With the average age being 49 a lot of the riders are affluent and they have families so it's a family destination

event. We want to expose the region to cycling and to the benefits of bringing people to the region." Plans are underway to make the GranFondo Kelowna an annual event and the group is also looking to expand to Alberta and Ontario next year. The second annual GranFondo Whistler this September is already sold out with 7,500 riders signed up. Registration for the Kelowna ride will remain open until 8 p.m. on Friday night and organizers say they can always use more volunteers. Race headquarters is set up at the Delta Grand and information can also be found online at www.rbcgranfondokelowna.com. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Gran fondos are a European cycling tradition. In Europe, Gran fondos have attracted more than 10,000 cyclists and are now gaining popularity in North America. Here is some more information about the Kelowna gran fondo. The Route • Starts and finishes in downtown Kelowna on Water Street. • Riders will cross the start line at 7 a.m., heading north towards the countryside passing by vistas and vineyards of Lake Country with views of Okanagan Lake. • After climbing to Predator Ridge, riders pass through Vernon, where the Medio (70 kilometre ride) starts at 9 a.m. • Riders venture southbound onto Okanagan Highway, past Kalamalka and Wood Lake and through the communities of Oyama and Winfield while passing through vineyards on Lodge Road and Glenmore Road. • Finally, they ride downhill to the finish at Waterfront Park. Spectator Areas Spectators are not permitted to stop on the roadways that make up the course, but are encouraged to join in the fun at various viewing areas. Spectators are reminded that there will be traffic impacts along the route, so plan ahead to get to a viewing location. The following locations are suggested spectator areas: • 6:50 a.m.—Watch the start of the ride on Water Street in downtown Kelowna. • 8:30 a.m.—Just over halfway for the riders and the start of the Medio at Vernon Military Camp is a great place to see the action. • 9:15 a.m.—Close to the 95 km mark, spectators can watch the cyclists go by at George Elliot Secondary School on Bottom Wood Lake Road. • 10:15 a.m. The first riders will be back at the finish area on Water Street in downtown Kelowna near the Delta Grand Hotel. Traffic disruptions Cyclists will have a dedicated lane from start to finish and that means there will be impacts to traffic. For maps, times and disruptions go to www.rbcgranfondo.com, click on About the Event and scroll to traffic impacts. Charitable Donation The RBC Blue Water Project is donating $25,000 to Trout Unlimited Canada, an organization committed to cold water conservation, on behalf of RBC GranFondo Kelowna. The donation to Trout Unlimited will help preserve and raise awareness about waterways, such as the Okanagan Valley rivers. The RBC Blue Water Project is committed to preserving and restoring water resources for current and future generations.

Hot season for AquaJets The KelownaAquaJets continued a successful, fast and fun competitive season with a medal haul from the AAA provincial championships in Victoria on the weekend. The Kelowna-based team sent 10 swimmers to Victoria with the group setting 10 new club records while bringing home 15 medals from the championships. “There is an exciting energy surrounding swimming these days,” says AquaJets coach Pete Wilkins. “When an athlete truly believes in themselves and what they are capable of great things happen and it becomes contagious. This weekend was a true team effort with first time provincial medal finishes from members of the team and some great

relay swims.” The meet was highlighted by a gold medal swim and national standard from 12 year old Sam McDonald in the 200 breaststroke. McDonald's first provincial AAA medal will send him off to Montreal for nationals in two weeks time with eight other AquaJets. Other gold medal performances came from Clarisse Obedkoff in the 200 back, 200 IM and 400 IM. Despite battling the flu over the weekend Obedkoff also earned a pair of silvers in the 100 butterfly and 100 freestyle events. Teammate Katie Dunlop brought back a handful of hardware in the 12 year old girls category in record times. Dunlop won silver in the 100 free-

style and 100 backstroke, setting new club records in both. Dunlop also rewrote history in the 50 freestyle (3rd place), 800 freestyle (3rd place) and 100 breaststroke. She also claimed a bronze in the 200 freestyle. Julien Roberts continued his recent hot streak this summer dropping big time in all his events, over two and a half minutes in his mile (1,500m Free), and another six seconds in his 200 butterfly to finish 3rd. Roberts was narrowly out-touched for 3rd place in the 100 fly. Christian Desjarlais, the team's oldest member, who is off to Trinity Western University on scholarship this fall, was up against B.C.’s best seniors and was still able to break a long standing AquaJets

brought back bronze and silver medals respectively. “I am thrilled to have such a strong in season meet heading into our peak meet, nationals in

Montreal," said Wilkins. "This team really set the bar high, showing that we are not just going to Montreal to swim, but to compete.”

The team has a few more weeks to prepare for the big show in Montreal which will boast over 1,300 of Canada’s best swimmers aged 11 to 18.

Her time was a new 15 to 17 year old B.C. record and she added two more meet records among her four gold medal performance and is set to take part in the Pan American Games trials in two weeks. Jennifer Short started the meet for the West Kelowna-based swim team, swimming her 200 metre breaststroke in a time of 2:41.51, qualifying her for Canadian nationals in Montreal later this month and finals that night.

Paul Dippel earned the Jays win over St. Albert while Darren Kolk was 3 for 4 at the plate with one RBI.

Falcons visit Knights

CONTRIBUTED

Each and every win the Kelowna Falcons can muster over the final four weeks of the West Coast League season will be vital. The Falcons (10-23) remain in last spot in the East Division but with 21 games remaining are still within striking distance of a playoff berth. Kelowna, which was idle on Thursday night, trailed Bellingham by six games for second place— the final playoff berth— and the Walla Walla Sweets by three games for third. The Bells and Sweets

met on Thursday night, but no score was available at press time. On Friday night, the Falcons are due to open a three-game weekend series in Corvallis, home of the West Division-leading Knights (19-13). Their schedule doesn't get any easier next week as the Falcons return home for a three-game series beginning Tuesday against the East-leading Wenatchee Apple Sox (25-5). The past week began well for the Falcons who took the first two games of their series with the Kla-

math Falls Gems at Elks Stadium by scores of 6-0 and 5-4. Four pitchers combined on a four-hitter in Tuesday's series opener with Ryan Paterson picking up his third win of the summer, while Andrew Firth drove in three runs. In Game 2, the Bo Folkinga scored an unearned run in the eighth to give the Falcons the margin of victory, while Cade Bowen earned the win in relief. The Gems (12-20) bounced back for a 2-1 on Wednesday to avoid the sweep.

Edgecombe take it to the final The Edgecombe Homers peewee girls softball team had a long day in its final day at the peewee C provincials in Cranbrook. The Homers played five games on Sunday in Cranbrook, coming tthrough the back door of the tournament and fightting their way all the way rto the final where they would take on the host Cranbrook team. But after a day in which the Homers rode a hot pitcher all the way to the final, it was Cranbrook

who would come out on top, winning the final and leaving the Kelowna team to celebrate a second place finish. "From 350 teams across the province down to the top 16 who made it to the provincials the Kelowna team did us proud," said spokesperson Kevin Edgecombe. "The team of young ladies played very well and several teams and officials commented on their great spirit and sportsmanship. For most of these girls this was their first ever provincial tour-

▼ MEN’S FASTBALL

Steelers champs The Richmond Steelers ruled the diamond last weekend as King Stadium in Kelowna played host to the master men's (over 40) provincial fastball championships. The Steelers used the arm of Rich Haldane to cruise to a 3-and-0 record in the round robin then advanced to the final with an 8-1 win over Victoria, as Haldane proved he is still one of the best pitchers in Western Canada. The Kelowna Centennials were 1-and-2 through the round robin after beating Ladner and losing to both Richmond and Victoria. In the playoffs Kelowna took on Ladner but fell behind early, giving up four runs in the first inning before nearly getting

back into the game. In the end the Centennials were ousted from the tournament 9-5 at the hands of Ladner. Ladner would beat Victoria in the semi-final before being shutout by Richmond as the Steelers woudl take the championship. Richmond will now represent B.C. at the Westerns in Leduc while the Ladner Masters will also go as the defending Western Champions. "All and all, we played pretty well, the weather was great and the crowds were pretty good," said Kelowna player Keith Anderson. This weekend the over-50 provincial championships take over King Stadium.

nament." The Homers advanced to the final thanks to some clutch play on the tournament's final day as the Kelowna team played three games that went extra innings in what was a gritty performance that came up just short.

In all the team would play 10 games over three days last weekend in Cranbrook. The final day was a grind as they played five consecutive games, winning four straight and finishing up with a battle with the host team which proved to be too much.

SPORTS ▼ SOCCER

Thompson Okanagan U-15 Bs make it to final in Seattle The Thompson Okanagan U-15 B team had a great weekend last weekend in Seattle, outplaying most of the competition and just falling short in the final, to place second in the Seattle Sounders F.A. Cup. The local side outscored its opposition 14-4 in five combined games against competition from Mexico, USA and Canada at the tournament based out of the Sounders Starfire training centre in Seattle. "The boys played some excellent soccer throughout the tournament," said coach Tony Overton. "They all gave 100 per cent in the final and came very close to scoring several goals,

but the keeper was in fine form." The TOFC U15 boys entered the U-16 division and were drawn into one of three qualifying groups with their group including a highly ranked Washington State team. However TOFC stormed through the group stage and topped their group with two wins and a draw. TOFC were then matched in the semi finals against the host Sounders. They continued to dominate the competition by winning the game 2-0 to reach the final. In the final TOFC were pitched against FWRC Green who had previously held them to a 1-1 draw in the group qualifying stages.

The game started well for both teams with chances being created at either end but FWRC Green managed to take the lead after a good period of pressure on the TOFC goal. TOFC responded well and created a number of chances but could not find a way past a determined defence. In the second half TOFC continued to press forward looking for an equalizing goal. The Kelowna team was unlucky to concede a penalty which FWRC Green managed to convert to give them a two goal lead. Both teams played well in a very exciting final but FWRC Green managed to hold on to their lead and close out the game.

COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS Solid Waste Management

Council approved solid waste management rate changes to be implemented starting Jan. 1, 2012. The changes are in anticipation of long-term landfill site development and closure, and operating costs for all solid-waste services. The tipping fee for garbage will increase from $55 to $65 a tonne, remaining competitive with other regional facilities. The residential fees for curbside pickup and waste processing and recycling will increase over two years from $176.82 to $187.92 in 2012 and $197.30 in 2013. Self-hauled garbage loads to the landfill will increase to $8 per load in 2012 from the current $6 per load, rising to $10 a load in 2013. Yard waste up to 20 cm in diameter under 250 kg will continue to be free of charge, while loads over 250 kg will increase to $40 a load from $25. Currently, services are provided by a mix of city and regional employees and several contractors.

TRAVEL Bike tour guides sightseers through Paris history, architecture Ellise Pierce CAPITAL NEWS CONTRIBUTOR

PARIS—When my editor emailed me about doing a story on Fat Tire Bike Tours in Paris, I immediately tried to think of an excuse not to do the story. Navigating through the streets of Paris on a bike? I couldn’t imagine a worse way to spend an afternoon. First, a little background. I live in Paris. I have a bike. It is in the garage, covered in three years of dust. I rode my bike (then brandnew) exactly once, and was so terrified of getting smashed by one of Paris’ crazy, screaming, fist-waving drivers that I never rode it again. I prefer the city’s super-efficient-when-not-on-strike metro system for getting around town. Or my own cowgirl boots, thank you very much. At least, that’s the way it was until I heard about Paris’ Fat Tire Bike Tours. The company was created 12 years ago by none other than David Mebane, a Texas A&M grad, and is staffed mainly by people like me—people who speak with a drawl and tend to bring over suitcases filled with Velveeta and Ro-Tel tomatoes. So I said to myself, “Oh, just go. People bike around town all the time—crazy people, but still.” So on a spring day— overcast, but according to the weather forecast, no rain expected until that evening—I reluctantly walk to the Eiffel Tower and meet the group that for the next four hours I’d be cruising around town

Our 20-day jet & coach tour will take you to Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island & Newfoundland with plenty of sightseeing, history and a lifetime of memories!!

with. Our leader: Jeff Puckett, a 23-year-old Texas A&M grad with a degree in economics and finance who should have majored in drama. Puckett’s dark Levis slouch down over his two-tone gray suede Nikes, and, so we can always spot him in our small pack of 25, he wears a bright red Fat Tire Bike Tours T-shirt. He is here to teach us a little about Paris and to keep us from getting creamed by cars and motorcycles. But mostly, he is here to entertain. “The Eiffel Tower,” he says, looking up at the city’s famous landmark while pacing back and forth. He is always in motion, making any patch of ground beneath him a stage. “Crazy stuff. Ten thousand metric tons. The site of the first bungee jump in Europe. Anyone know who this was? A.J. Hackett, from New Zealand. He didn’t get permission to do this. He jumped and then he pulled himself back up and he did it again. Eight times! I’m glad he did. It’s a cool sport. What else?,” he says, pausing, as if he’s just hit the “Eiffel Tower” search button in his head and is waiting for the results to pop up. “You know, the French hated the Eiffel Tower when it was first built—I would, too. It was painted yellow. Can you believe that? Now it’s three shades of brown. You know how often the Eiffel Tower is painted? Every seven years, and it takes 15 months to paint it—it’s done by hand, by mountain climbers. Who’s seen it sparkle?” A few people raise their hands. “You’ve got to see this. It’s every hour, at night, on the hour. It’s like a Christmas tree on steroids.” And with that, we’re off to get our bikes at Fat Tire Bike headquarters, just around the corner. It has started to rain. Just a little.

We pick out our bikes—either blue or red—and Puckett gives us a few rules of the road before we begin the tour: “The theme of the ride is DOMINATION,” he says. “We are taking over the streets of Paris. Stick together. Don’t leave a gap so cars can get through, and if they try to move in, just put up your hand like this (he raises his hand) and give them the ‘Power of the Palm.’ If that doesn’t work, shake your finger at them, and say, ‘Non, non, non!’ It works. Trust me. Dominate!” My big red bike is named Road Runner. I hop on and immediately feel comfy on its fat, oversize seat. It’s like the LaZ-Boy of bikes. Dominate? Is he serious? We ride to the large building at the end of the Champ de Mars, and we all stop. Puckett hops off his bike and stands over us on a small wall before he’s asked to step down by French authorities. “The French are really creative when it comes to naming buildings,” he says, pushing his Justin Bieber bangs to the side, which he does often. “This is Ecole Militaire.” We find out that Napoleon attended school here. Then Puckett sums up decades of French history: “The thing to remember about the Louies: The 14th built everything, the 15th partied through everything, and the 16th paid for everything. The 15th was a party animal— he had over 300 mistresses—but one of his mistresses, Madame de Pompadour, suggested that he build this school, and he did.” Time to get back on our bikes. “We’re going around to the superintimidating baby blue fence on the other side,” he says, “but first we need to cross the road here, and then get on the sidewalk.

Puckett is already off in front of us, his red T-shirt a beacon that we instinctively follow. “Dominate that Mercedes!� he shouts back in our direction, and we do. Soon, we’re all riding in a pack, as instructed. And I notice something odd. I’m having fun.

Long Beach, San Pedro, Catalina CONTRIBUTOR

The harbor area of southwest Los Angeles County—the closest thing the U.S. has to a blue-collar coast—is where cruise ships call, where global cargo is loaded and unloaded, where ton upon ton of maritime machinery hums and looms. It’s where the Queen Mary passes its awkward retirement. Just north, the Pacific pounds the bluffs and pebbles of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, and 22 miles off the mainland, the island of Santa Catalina primps and sparkles for weekend admirers.

AQUARIUM OF THE PACIFIC

When you’ve gone as far south as the 710 goes, to the damp heart of Long Beach. You’ve stepped into the Aquarium of the Pacific, a big and bright attraction that opened in 1998 near the city’s convention center. Now find the Touch Pool. Reach into the shallows. And tickle the gray skin of the first flat, triangular creature that slithers by. That’s a bat ray, its spine clipped (painlessly) to prevent venomous stings. Its skin, you’ll agree, is surprisingly soft. This aquarium includes about 11,000 sea creatures and a see-

through tunnel that surrounds you with sea life. Along the Rainbow Harbor waterfront outside, whale-watching boats, harbor cruises and dinnercruise vessels compete for your attention.

BIG SHIPS

In a slightly different universe, the Long Beach waterfront would still be dominated by the Long Beach Pike, a massive amusement park that went up in the early 20th century, but the Pike did not age well, and city leaders were scrambling for a new way to lure tourists. Enter the Queen Mary, a British ocean liner built in the 1930s, retired in 1967 and recast here as a floating hotel. The ship cuts a striking figure seen from land or sea, especially if you’re about to board a contemporary cruise ship from the embarkation center next door. And ghosthunters love the place. But up close, the Queen Mary is tired. Red ink and management changes have been frequent.

Kelownian presents tune to Canadian troops Barry Gerding EDITOR

Wonder what my family is doing back home Called to duty feeling lonely missing Canada Away from my home My brothers and sisters doing what’s right fighting for freedom Painful times missing my friends away from my home Here’s a thank you to our Canadian troops Believing in their right to be free like me and you Sense our thoughts hear our prayers in this song we say You’re Canadian and you’re strong wishing you home safe Heard your song thinking ‘bout us feel your hope it means So much missing Canada away from my home I want you to know that I’m home in your heart doing what’s right Doing my part missing my friends away from my home Here’s a thank you to our Canadian troops Believing in their right to be free like me and you Sense our thoughts hear our prayers in this song we say You’re Canadian and you’re strong wishing you home safe Wishing brothers and sisters home safe Wishing sons and daughters home safe Wishing husbands and wives and moms and dads home safe Here’s a thank you to our Canadian troops

PRIME MINISTER STEPHEN HARPER holds a copy of the commemorative CD, To Our Canadian Troops, with its Kelowna songwriter, Dennis Leclair. Maritime Forces Pacific were recruited to record it. The recording became the focal point of a commemorative CD that Leclair released with the idea of it being a fundraiser for programs that support Canadian troops and their families, retired veterans and military support staff. Leclair says his goal is to distribute 450,000 complimentary CDs to all Canadian Forces troops worldwide. “The profits from this project go directly to the Military Families Fund,

Soldier On and Hospital Comfort funds, which assist military family members with accessing critical support services during these stressful times,” Leclair said. Backed by a military band, Leclair has performed the song at two prestigious events—the 2009 Gala of Hope fundraiser in Toronto and a performance at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. He also sang his song at the Canada Day festivities in Prospera Place on

July 1, 2009, backed by the Kelowna Community Band and the anniversary celebrations for the B.C. Dragoons. His next gig has Leclair, who is a counsellor in Kelowna when he’s not involved with his “heart and soul” musical project, playing the song on stage with an acoustic guitar and an accompanying video. He will perform at the National Festival For Heroes Concert for the Troops taking place Aug. 6 in Saskatoon.

“It’s an honour for me to play there but there will be about 10,000 people in attendance, so it’s not exactly a small crowd. For me, it will be a little bit intimidating and exciting to play the song for them,” Leclair said. Others performing at the music festival will include Glass Tiger, country singer Julian Austin and blues-rock guitarist George Leach. To order a CD, go to the website www. toourcanadiantroops.ca. bgerding@kelownacapnews.com

The inspiration to write a song can come to a songwriter in a variety of ways. Dennis Leclair’s inspiration to write a song that commemorates Canadian troops came while watching a news report three years ago about the 100th soldier being killed in Afghanistan. “Just watching the display of the faces of our fallen heroes over there, with a mundane elevator music in the background…I just felt we should have a song that is supportive and wishing our troops to come home safe,” Leclair recalled. He is no stranger to the military as his cousin has just finished his third deployment tour to Afghanistan while his father was a Second World War vet and his grandfather a First World War survivor. So two days after seeing the TV news report, Leclair had written the lyrics to his song and was in the studio of local music producer Bob Gablehouse recording it, backed up by the 60-student member Anne McClymont Elementary School choir. Heather Davis, a retired captain in the Canadian Forces with an extensive music background, was approached by Leclair to compose a band arrangement for his song. “It did not take long for me to realize that (Leclair) had written a song that would open a dialogue, bridge a gap—however you want to put it—between the public and the military,” Davis said. Davis wrote the music and the Naden Band of

▼ MUSICAL REVUE

Audition for TKS ’60s revue Theatre Kelowna Society holds auditions this Sunday for its Super ’60s Fall Revue musical. This year’s show will feature music from the Super 1960s. Auditions will be on Sunday July 17 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Theatare Kelowna Room, upstairs at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. Those interested in auditioning should choose a couple of favourite songs from the 1960s and either bring a vocal-less backing track CD or be prepared to sing a capella. TKS will have a selection of backing tracks of some possible songs from the show, but they may not necessarily be in a key you are comfortable with, so it’s best to

bring your own. Playing of guitar, banjo or bass guitar will be a definite asset for a successful audition but you must be able to sing as well. Be advised that TKS is a non-profit society, so performers will not be paid for their participation in the show. This is, however, an extremely popular show with audiences and has been sold out for its total run for the last three years. Additional auditions may be held on Sunday July 24 if some people are unable to attend on the 17th. Please phone Debby at 250-862-8673 for your audition slot The revue will be presented from Sept. 14 to Oct. 1 at the Black Box Theatre.

Some considerations when shopping for a toothbrush O ‘‘

ften parents will ask us about toothbrushes and whether the brush their child is using is appropriate. Our answer to that question is: “It depends.” According to the scientific literature and to a study published by one of the most definitive sources, the Cochrane Group, a manual toothbrush can be just as effective as an electric one. There are some considerations to keep in mind, however. Like any instrument or tool, the function of the toothbrush is only as effective as the hand that wields it. The “best” toothbrush

YOUR CHILDREN’S ORAL HEALTH

Alan Milnes & Terry Farquhar in the world is not effective if it is only being used once (or less) per day, or only or a brief period (less than a minute), or with poor technique. As far as size and shape go, the best way to choose a manual brush is to look at the label on the package. Generally, there will be an indication regarding the age of the child that the brush is suited for. The majority of com-

panies will recommend their smallest brushes for the youngest children. It is not recommended to use a brush that is too large, as this will make it difficult to reach the harder to get areas in a small mouth and may actually be quite uncomfortable for the child. This often leads to a power struggle between parent and child around toothbrushing simply because brushing with a toothbrush that is too large hurts. One of the most important things to look at when buying a brush is to look for one with soft bristles. There is no advantage to using stiffer bristles for

children or adults. According to recent literature, the small round head spin-type brush is the most effective of the electric brushes. Electric toothbrushes have less variety in head shape and size. Some electric brushes are available with a small round brush head, others have elliptical shaped heads, not suitable for young children. If you decide that an electric toothbrush will work for you and your child look for one that has small, round brush heads which can be replaced when they wear out. Being able to replace dead batteries will extend the life of an electric tooth-

brushes do wear out. Toothbrushes, manual or electric brush heads, should be replaced at least every three to six months or when your child has been ill. Brushes can also be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected in an automatic dishwasher. However, when the bristles start to look likethe dog has been eating them it’s time to replace that brush with a new one. The bottom line is to make toothbrushing a ‘fun’ activity and to develop consistent habits when your children are young and impressionable.

brush. Given the variety of electric toothbrushes available there is no need to buy an expensive model. Which one is best though? Personal preference plays a big role here. Some children prefer manual brushes because they don’t like the vibration associated with electric toothbrushes. Some children are happy with electric toothbrushes because they come equipped with various gimmicks to keep them interested, like cartoon themes or music while brushing. Whether manual or electric, the actual act of brushing takes about two minutes, twice per day, and a small wipe of fluoride toothpaste, about the size of a small pea, small-

from our past? How can we move from feeling victimized by our life situation to feeling empowered? How do we let go of something that has hurt us so much? Part of the answer to these questions is through the art of forgiveness.

Oftentimes when we think of forgiveness we picture the person we feel has hurt us admitting to their actions and coming to us and asking for our forgiveness. But herein lies the problem—you can never be in control of what another person will say or

do. If we choose to wait for others to say I’m sorry and to admit that they have done us wrong somehow, we could be waiting a lifetime. And that is exactly what some people do. When we continue to place our energy in feeling hurt and resentful we

are actually stopping ourselves from moving forward in life. And yes, there is a time for grieving and for processing the pain of an event. That is a natural part of the healing process as well. However, if you are stuck in the pain then you

are actually preventing yourself from the greater learning in this situation and also subconsciously preventing yourself from living your fullest potential. We give away our personal power when we make another person’s behaviour or admission of wrong doing the primary determining factor for our own healing and success in life. So, what does it mean to forgive? Forgiveness is not about condoning behaviour. Forgiveness is actually a gift that you give to yourself so that you can begin to move forward. Identify the situation that you are feeling hurt about and ask yourself, “Am I willing to let go of the need to be right?” If the answer is yes, then you are ready to start the process of forgiveness. Forgiveness dares you to imagine a better future for yourself. A future that is not rife with pain; but rather a future where you are learning and growing from this experience. Dare yourself to imagine a future in which you are confident as a result of surviving this experience. Dare yourself to imagine a better world because of your experience. Remember forgiveness is not about condoning behaviour or waiting for someone else to change. Forgiveness is the experience of finding internal peace. Part of growing up emotionally means that we need to address the uncomfortable parts of life and move through the pain and discomfort. The act of forgiveness can help us do just that, so that we can choose to go on living. Annie Hopper is a brain retraining specialist and core belief counsellor. 250-862-1766 info@dnrsystem.com

NEWS ▼ MP’S REPORT

Seniors’ needs will be priority in the 2012 federal budget O

ne of the most important aspects of the federal government’s 2011 budget is our continuing efforts to support seniors and help them meet their needs. This year, Canadians will receive close to $72 billion in benefits through the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement. Over the years, the GIS has contributed significantly to reducing poverty among Canadian seniors. In fact, the incidence of poverty among seniors in Canada has dropped from a rate of 21 per cent in 1980 to 5.2 per cent in 2009. This current federal government strives to ensure that this positive trend continues. This is why our government introduced new measures through the 2011 budget to improve the financial security of older Canadians, expand their opportunities and enhance their quality of life.

Ron Cannan Beginning this month, seniors with little or no income other than the Old Age Security and the GIS will receive additional benefits up to $600 for single seniors and up to $840 for couples per year —the most significant increase for the lowest-income seniors in over 25 years. This will improve the financial security of more than 680,000 of Canada’s most vulnerable seniors, many of whom are women. The government also wants to support seniors in staying active and involved in their communities. For this reason, the

very popular New Horizons for Seniors Program will be provided an additional $10 million in funding over two years. Since 2006, the Conservative governments have taken action on many issues important to seniors: • providing Canadians with close to $72 billion this year through Canada’s public pension system • providing $2.3 billion annually in additional tax relief to seniors and pensioners through measures such as pension income splitting and increasing the Age Credit • providing $400 million over two years under the 2009 budget for the construction of housing units for low-income seniors • supporting positive and active aging through the collaborative Age Friendly Communities Initiative, Physical Activity Tips for Older Adults, and falls prevention initiatives • appointing a Minister of State (Seniors)—someone who can bring the concerns of older Canadi-

ans to Cabinet and stand up on their behalf • establishing Oct. 1 as National Seniors Day to recognize the significant and ongoing contributions seniors make to families, communities, workplaces and society • creating the National Seniors Council in 2007 to provide advice to the federal government on matters related to the well-being and quality of life of seniors and • investing $13 million over three years in support of the Federal Elder Abuse Initiative (FEAI), which successfully concluded on March 31, 2011. Building on the momentum created through the FEAI, which featured an awareness campaign,

Although not often reported to police, incidents involving lasers being pointed at aircraft are serious and could have deadly consequences, says Kelowna Const. Steve Holmes. On July 8, a 737 was on approach to the Kelowna airport when the flight crew reported that a green laser was being pointed at the aircraft from the ground. Although no one was affected by it, the potential for harm was there, noted Holmes. “Police were not able to determine exactly where the laser was being pointed from or what kind of device it was. It is believed that it was likely a laser pointer,” Holmes said. Green lasers are many times more powerful than red lasers and the green beams can been seen at night. Most laser pointers are a Class III, meaning that they are medium powered and have the potential to cause permanent damage to the retinas of the eyes.

Mazda keeps road-handling performance in people mover Rob Beintema CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

In the competitive five-seater, family-mover market, the Mazda CX-7 has always been just a little bit different. Chalk it up to the company’s emphasis on roadhandling performance and its “Zoom-Zoom” philosophy of creating a sport crossover SUV ã a vehicle in which the great attributes of a sports car are blended with those of a sport utility vehicle”. Any time a vehicle program manager uses the word “sport” three times in one sentence, you get the drift of where his priorities lie. And really, all you have to do to see the result

is stand back and look at the profile of the CX-7. The 66-degree windshield angle is laid back at a faster slope than on most sports cars, never mind SUVs. An aggressively rising belt line, the curved angle of the roofline and muscular fender arches contribute to the slate of familial Mazda design cues. Up front are gaping grilles, sweeping headlights and character lines running from the front fascia to the A-pillars, while the rear echoes sportiness with a roof spoiler and round motif tail lamps. It’s a sleek, handsome design. If you want to call this See CX-7 B2

THE 2011 MAZDA CX-7, tested here in a new GX trim package that was introduced last year to allow for a lower-cost entry into the lineup. The CX-7 GX is powered by a naturally aspirated 161 hp 2.5-litre engine mated to a five-speed Sport mode automatic transmission with 17-inch alloy wheels and starts at $26,495.

Not an SUV CX-7 from B1 a crossover SUV, well, it’s crossed over a long way because there is not a single design element here that relates to traditional SUV characteristics. There are no skid plates, no locking hubs and not a single off-road attribute. Granted, the CX-7’s extra ground clearance and available all-wheeldrive system will allow for all-weather peace of mind and light duty hauling to the cottage, but the only SUV-like utility addon on the accessory list would be an available roof rack, and that option is rarely seen on any CX-7. The CX-7 carries over relatively unchanged for 2011, after undergoing a major refit for the 2010 model year. Forgive me for rehashing last year’s changes but they are still fresh enough to make note of. Outside, minor cosmetic changes included a revised lower front grille with a larger five-point

EVEN in base GX trim, the CX-7 shows a sophisticated interior, recently upgraded and, as tested here, supplemented with a Luxury Package ($2,995) that adds a leather interior along with other added comfort features. CONTRIBUTED

design, similar in appearance to grilles adopted on the Mazda RX-8, MX-5 and Mazda3. Love or hate Mazda’s “Joker grin” grille, it does provide better engine cooling and it is also bracketed by new front fog lamp bezels. The rear fascia was revised as well. More importantly, last year Mazda introduced a new, more affordable front-wheel drive GX model, powered by a naturally-aspirated 161 hp 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine, with a five-speed Sport mode automatic, smaller 17-inch wheels and an entry-level price almost $4,000 cheaper than the previous year’s lowest price. Although some sacrifices had to be made to achieve that affordability, the GX maintains a healthy list of standard equipment with a full suite of dynamic technologies—four-wheel ABS braking with EBD, tracSee CX-7 B3

MOTORING CX-7 from B2 tion control (TCS) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). Other standards include six airbags, A/C, power windows, power door locks, power heated mirrors, tilt/telescoping steering with audio/ cruise controls, auto headtlamps, four-speaker AM/ rFM/CD/MP3 audio, and more. This was the very same entry-level GX model that I was testing, although Mazda couldn’t resist pimping it up slightly with the Luxury Package ($2,995), adding a power moonroof, along with leather wrapping on the upholstery, door panels, steering wheel and shifter. It also added an eightt way power adjustable driver’s seat with manual lumbar, a four-way power adjustable passenger seat (both seats heated), Bluetooth connectivity and automatic climate control. The optional Luxury Package adds a more sophisticated edge to the GX and builds on the interior improvements already made in this latest generation version. When I tested earlier models between 20072009, I would always note that cabin accommodation never quite lived up to the billing of the CX-7’s handsome exterior. The interiors seemed Spartan with an econo edginess and hard tactile surfaces, any ambience overridden by the prevalent nasal honk of the four-banger engine. But Mazda was tuned in to customer concerns and they addressed those challenges in the 2010 makeover as well, revising the CX-7 with a stiffer, better insulated platform, suspension refinements, NVH improvements, higher quality textures and graining, a new steering wheel, new softer armrests and with added contrasts and chrome bling on the HVAC vents. So, fine, it looks good. How does it drive? As with most Maz-

das, there’s nothing to complain about in ride and handling. The steering is crisp and controlled, the CX-7’s sport DNA shining through in urban or country driving. The naturally aspirated 2.5-litre engine pumps out 161 hp, about 80 hp less than the optional turbo versions, but the motor gets the job done. The engine lopes along at an easy 2000 rpm at highway speed, tall-geared for a respectable fuel economy rating of 10.4/7.7L (city/ hwy). Customers looking for more of a good thing can move up to the GS AWD trim level that ups the ante with a 244 hp 2.3-litre turbo-charged engine, a sixspeed automatic, 18-inch alloy wheels and dual exhaust. The GS can also be outfitted with the same Luxury Package. At the top of the trim ladder, the GT AWD model takes the sum total of the GS with Luxury Package and adds a longer list of bells & whistles—fog lamps, Xenon HID headlights, 19-inch wheels, a rear view camera, Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), nine-speaker BOSE audio and other goodies. If Mazda follows the usual schedule, we might expect a next generation CX-7 by 2012/2013, probably incorporating the company’s new Shinari-style design and a full suite of the SkyActiv technologies—platforms and powertrains promising even better ride quality and 15 percent improvements in performance and fuel efficiency. Although, some are wondering if the upcoming new and smaller CX-5 compact crossover will overlap some of the CX7’s market. But, for now, the 2011 Mazda CX-7 still offers a different range of choices in a crowded market segment, with a sharp-looking sport crossover SUV that, in true Mazda style, puts the emphasis on “sport”.

MAZDA CX-7 2011

Body Style: Five-

seater sport crossover Drive Method: Front-engine, front- or allwheel drive Engine: GX 2.5-litre DOHC, 16-valve, fourcylinder (161 hp, 161 lb/ ft); GS/GT 2.3-litre turbocharged four-cylinder (244 hp, 258 lb/ft) Fuel Economy: GX FWD 2.5-litre 10.4/7.7L/100km (city/ hwy); GS/GT AWD 2.3-litre 12.2/8.7L/100km (city/hwy) Prices: GX FWD $26,495; GS AWD $29,995; GT AWD $36,690 Website: www.mazda.ca

BRINGING in this 2.5-litre naturally aspirated DOHC four-cylinder in a GX FWD, as an alternative to turbo-power in higher trim levels, allowed Mazda to drop the entry-level pricing by almost $4,000. The 2.5-litre engine makes 161 hp at 6000 rpm and 161 lb/ft of torque at 3000 rpm. CONTRIBUTED

By September, Chevrolet will make a return to offering an affordable seven-seater in the form of the 2012 Orlando. While considered a CUV, it’s really a miniminivan along the same lines of the popular Mazda5 and the Dodge Journey which is currently the largest selling compact CUV on the market. Much like the Mazda5, the Orlando is aimed at Asian and European buyers. In fact it was debuted at the Paris Auto Show in 2010 with a European version shown at this year’s Montreal Auto Show where it was favorably received. In Asia and Europe, the ability to carry up to seven in confined spaces is much valued and why there are so many of them offered by so many manufacturers. The Orlando is not square like the Journey nor is it as swept in its shape as the Mazda5 although the roofline follows the same downward appearance. Unlike its competitors, the Orlando has a theatre style seating arrangement with three rows of seats, along with a sizable cargo area and flexible storage solutions. In spite of the sweeping roofline, the engineers and designers were able to raise the third row of seats offering passengers an improved view both forwards and to the side. With a wide variety of seating configurations, Chevrolet claims the Orlando can be adjusted into one of the most voluminous vehicles in its class when it comes to cargo capacity. I drove the Orlando very briefly at a GM fleet buyer ride-and-drive event. Driving impressions are embargoed and there will be a full first

JASPER, Alta.—Remember the MercedesBenz 190 SL? Probably not, but during the 1960s it was the little brother to the 300 SL Gullwing, the first modern supercar. Then something happened. The Gullwing was replaced by a myriad of SL models that were twoseaters but skewed to the bouffant set. At the same time, the baby Benz roadster vanished until 1996 when the SLK was announced. Here was a light, fast and, in AMG kit, a very formidable two-seater that left competitors like Porsche and BMW scrambling. Times are changed and the 300 SL Gullwing is back in spirit and reality in the form of the awesome SLS AMG that makes a statement and spits hubris just standing still. And for 2012, the little brother is back in the SLK 350 looking every bit like the SLS from its upright grille with prominent three-pointed star to the outside mirrors. There is no question the SLK is meant to be seen as kin to the SLS. Initially, there will be only one model with a 3.5-litre V6 on sale now to be followed in November by an AMG version (SLK 55 AMG)and an entry level model called the SLK 250. The 3,498 cc V6 produces 302 hp and 273 lb/ ft of torque. With the 7GTronic Plus seven-speed automatic transmission, it goes from 0-100 km/h in 5.6 seconds with a top speed of 250 km/h thanks

to all the latest engine technology such as thirdgeneration direct injection, piezo injectors and multi-spark ignition. Standard suspension on the SLK is Mercedes’ Dynamic Handling package with continuous adjustable damping. What it does is electronically control the fully automatic damping system that allows the vehicle to drive smoothly even on poor road surfaces and quell jarring while still offering high driving dynamics. Part of the package is the Direct-Steer system with Torque Vectoring Brakes developed by Mercedes-Benz. The Direct-Steer system offers more handling and agility than the standard steering, while also reducing the amount of physical effort required when parking. On a curve the rear wheel on the inside of the turn is braked slightly in relation to speed that results in a stabilizing the platform without overloading the suspension. On two days of solid driving from Calgary out to Jasper and then back across to Edmonton, I got lots of chances to test the system and, frankly, it was seamless. I couldn’t tell when it was being actuated or not despite being a tad more aggressive than I usually drive. It was probably the perfect car from just lopping along at the limit while gliding by countless lakes and the always inspiring Columbia Icefield. When it comes to passenger safety, MercedesBenz arguably has been the leader and innovator in this area for decades. In the SLK, there are

Edition 1 ‘wonderfully appointed with panoramic varioroof’ SLK 350 from B7 mously in the event of an impending rear-end collision. I spent most of the two very enjoyable days in what’s called the “Edition 1� special model with

a special matte paint finish in glacier grey. The “Edition 1� is wonderfully appointed with panoramic varioroof, the Dynamic Handling package, AMG body styling, two-tone nappa leather with contrast-

ing topstitching, AIRSCARF, ambient lighting and much more. The hue of the matte grey is limited to a very small batch of the first production run. While you can get matte finishes on a few Mercedes models like

the mighty SLS supercar, the colour on the Edition 1 will never be repeated. Even if you are prepared to pay extra in the future, it won’t happen. But a word of warning; never wax the finish as it will harm the ap-

pearance. When it comes to washing, do it by hand or in a touchless booth. If you do get a stone chip or a shopping mall hit, Mercedes can re-spray it. There will be only 15 Edition 1 SLKs available in Canada and there were

no less than five on the Canadian press launch. Tell you the truth, it didn’t like the matte at first but when I saw the others going by on the highway, it really did look different from ordinary colours such as silver, white and

black. The SLK 350 is a much more substantial roadster than the former model. Like the SLS, the hood is extended and it really helps the appearance. The flanks have been cleaned up and there is now a noticeable, muscular hind quarter to the rear wheels. It was done partly to improve the looks but also to make it more aeroefficient. The result is a Cd value of 0.30 compared to the predecessor model’s Cd value of 0.32. One of the problems of roadsters, any roadster, is wind buffeting on the back of the head. There are screens available on other roadsters (usually as an option) that snap in place but they all have to be detached and stowed somewhere at some point. Mercedes has a wonderfully simple alternative on the SLK they call Airguide. There are pivoting transparent plastic panels attached to the back of the twin roll bars. The driver or passenger just has to swing them into place to cut airflow. And if that is not enough, there’s Airscarf that is a vent built into the both seats just below the headrest that channels warn air on the nape of the neck and shoulders. And then there is the all-metal folding top—all three of them. The standard roof is painted to match the car while the second is a panoramic vario-roof with tinted glass. The third, and not available on the pre-production cars I drove, is the panoramic glass roof with Magic Sky Control. The glass contains electrically charged “rods� that are activated by a button. When charged they stand up and let light in which is welcome in cold weather. Press the button and they darken the glass to keep up the sun’s rays. Base price is $66,500 but, being a MercedesBenz, there are a number of options and accessories to personalize the SLK to personal taste. Aggressively priced, the new SLK 350 appeals to a much broader demographic than previous models with more features than you’d expect with levels of performance and handling to satisfy just about everyone.

AMBER ‘Firestorm Dancer’ Knorr August 19, 2003 - June 30, 2011

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye, you were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why. Amber loved hearing the word “walk” and also receiving treats for her many tricks. She loved doing agility and this spring received her Master Agility Dog of Canada. She will be missed so much by her family and friends. Rest in Peace sweet little Amber. We miss you so much. Love, your family

BOSTOCK – RAYMOND 1927 – 2011

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and dear friend, Ray Bostock. Ray was born in Kelowna on January 7, 1927, the son of Albert (Bert) and Ellen Bostock. He passed away on July 11, 2011. Ray was predeceased by his parents, his brother Ken and his sisters

Dorothy and Joyce. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years Ann, and his four children (all living in the Kelowna area). Sarah (Randy) Roberts, Bruce (Dawn) Bostock, Dan (Reta) Bostock and Jim (Laurie) Bostock, eight grandchildren, Heather (Evan) Eccles, Travis (Kimi) Klettke, Jerrod (Adrienne) Klettke, Jeffrey, Rachel, Spencer Sydney Bostock, and Jordan Roberts as well as his pride and joy – five great grandchildren, Joshua, Emmalee, Deacon, Calista and Levi. Ray was an avid outdoorsman and an accomplished oarsman as a young man. He won many, many championships, and, thanks to the support of the local community, was awarded the “Hector MacDonald Memorial Award” and named the “British Columbia Athlete of the Year” in 1952. Ray owned and operated “Superior Floors” in Kelowna for over 40 years and spent his spare time fishing, hunting, rowing, snowmobiling and waterskiing. His greatest pleasure was enjoying family and friends at “the cabin” at Oyama Lake. Ray was known for his generosity, caring and his sense of humour; which will not soon be forgotten! Funeral Service for Ray will be held at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Road, on Saturday, July 16, 2011 at 4:00 pm.

VARZARI, DOREEN CECILIA (LARKO) Beloved wife of the late William “Beaver” Varzari, passed away with her family by her side in Kelowna on Friday, July 8, 2011 at the age of 80 years. Doreen was born in Lethbridge, Alberta on October 19, 1930, where she lived most of her early life. She attended St. Basil’s School. As a young girl, she loved to dance and took ballet and tap lessons and excelled in both. She was a very skilled baton twirler and was proud of her participation in the Lethbridge Parade. She was also a cracker-jack roller skater. In 1949 she met and married the love of her life, William (Beaver) Varzari. Together in the fifties, they started Varzari Iron, where she worked for a few years. In 1975 she and Beaver moved to Kelowna, BC where her love for jewellery led her to start her own jewellery business. She owned and operated “Classic Gems”, located in downtown Kelowna. She and Beaver lived a full and busy life, spending many wonderful years with their family at their home on Abbot Street on Lake Okanagan. After the passing of her husband in 1982, she chose to spend the next twenty nine years living a quiet and serene life in Kelowna. She loved the sound of birds chirping and had numerous bird feeders outside her window. She loved hydrangeas, which were plentiful in her yard, and she loved the smell of plumeria trees, a reminder of her wonderful Hawaiian vacations from long ago. She was tender and wise and always gracious…and she had a very generous heart. She was a wonderful mother and fun-loving grandmother affectionately known as “BaBa”. She will be sadly missed! Left to cherish her memory are her beloved children; Rosanne, Gerald (Rita), Gayle, Terry-Jean (Brent), her grandchildren; Jason (Amber), Andrea, Eli, Hilary, and Christopher, and her great grandchildren Chrystine and Jamie. Doreen is also survived by two sisters, Betty Ann and Mary Lou andone brother, Ralph. She was predeceased by her parents John and Ann Larko. A Celebration of Doreen’s Life will be held at 2:00 pm on Thursday, July 14, 2011 at MARTIN BROTHERS RIVERVIEW CHAPEL, 610 4th Street South, Lethbridge. Interment at Mountain View Cemetery. Send condolences at www.mbfunerals.com.

CULLEY - PATRICIA MARIE

Passed away peacefully on July 7, 2011 following a sudden illness, leaving no enemies but many caring friends. Patricia was born in London, UK on September 19, 1929. She is survived by her ever loving husband, lover and friend, Edward. Sons Paul, Jon (Nicole) and daughter Michelle (Bob). Grand daughters Sarah (Chris), Elissa and Teagan. Also survived by her dear, loving sisters Rosemary (Dudley), Eve and Jennifer (Douggie). All three sisters despite living geographically sperated from each other are so close and happy in spirit that love wil never be lost between them. Patricia emigrated to Edmonton, Alberta in 1966 with Edward and the four children. Employment included positions as Physical Fitness Instructor/Manager in Health Clubs. In later years she aquired skill in stained glass art now much in evidence around her home. In 1982, a move to her new home in Oyama meant Goodbye big city, Hello village life, with activities such as gardening, water sports and interest in environmental issues. She was a onetime secretary for Oyama Community Club. The loss of her youngest son Dawson in 2002 was a very sad occasion for the family. A happy and memorable event brought relatives and friends together in 2007 for Patricia and Edward’s 60th wedding anniversary. Both Patricia and Edward, being free thinkers, have found it easier to accept the finality of death as the natural outcome of living. When words like beautiful, kind, caring and loving are uttered they could well be describing Patricia. Her demeaner and beautiful smile will be missed by so many people whose lives she touched. She had wished, at the end, for a quiet gathering of friends at her home where they could pay tributes and memories. Donations can be made in Patricia’s name to the Central Okanagan Hospice Society.

REINBOLT, OLLIE It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beautiful beloved wife, mother and grandmother, Ollie Reinbolt on Tuesday, July 12, 2011 at the age of 75. Survived by her loving husband Al of 52 years, two sons Rick (Connie) Reinbolt of Prince George and Rory (Linda) Reinbolt of Terrace, her cherished grandchildren Jeremy, Joshua, Emily, Francesca, Ben, Mitchell, Sam, and brother Ed Sidoruk of Dawson Creek. Sadly predeceased by parents John and Barbara Sidoruk, brother Peter, sisters Anne, Natalie, Marika and brother Bill. Ollie was born and raised in Spirit River, Alberta. She met Al in Edmonton and they moved to Fort St. John in 1962 to start their life together. Ollie spent her life supporting Al in his work and raising her two boys and providing a loving and caring home. Ollie enjoyed all aspects of raising her family including; cheering her boys on in their sports activities, cooking delicious meals, taking the time to play games and be her boys’ best friend. She was proud of Al’s accomplishments and took pride in doing her part in the home to support her family. Ollie was always lots of fun to be around and people of all ages enjoyed her company. Faith was important to Ollie. She was a member of the CWL for many years. Ollie’s love of family grew stronger with the addition of each of her 7 grandchildren. Her grandchildren remember her cool sense of style, her giving nature and her ability to make each of them feel very special. Her daughter in laws enjoyed her friendship and wisdom and her many wonderful recipes. In 1991 Ollie and Al retired to sunny Kelowna or as she used to call it, the Hawaii of Canada. Ollie battled through each of her health issues with courage, determination and faith. She died peacefully in the love and care of her precious family. The family will always be grateful to the caring and compassionate staff of Sutherland Hills Rest Home where Ollie spent the last months of her life. The family also wishes to thank Dr. Tereposky and the 4th oor staff of Kelowna General Hospital. In lieu of owers, expressions of sympathy may be made to St. Charles Garnier Roman Catholic Parish. Prayer will be held Monday, July 18, 2011 at 6:00 pm at SpringďŹ eld Funeral Home, 2020 SpringďŹ eld Road, Kelowna, BC with a Funeral Mass on Tuesday, Jul 19, 2011 at 10:30 am at St. Charles Garnier Parish, 3645 Benvoulin Road, Kelowna, BC.

W HYBRID HOUSING

Protecting your interests Best kept secret being unveiled As we’ve stressed in our past articles, the economy is in a fragile state. Incidents of real estate title fraud are increasing in Canada and homeowners and lenders are proving to be irresistible targets for fraud artists. The role of legal professionals and title insurance companies has become even more critical in the fight to detect and prevent title fraud. Homeowners and lenders can protect themselves by obtaining a title insurance policy through either First Canadian Title or Stewart Title. The coverage provided in residential title insurance policies helps protect both the innocent homeowners and lenders who might otherwise face huge financial losses resulting from title fraud. Legal ownership in property is evidenced by the title to the property being placed into your name. The government land registration records will reflect you as the owner and anyone searching those records will also recognize you as the owner. You should protect that ownership and therefore, protect one of your most prized assets—our home.

A TYPICAL REAL ESTATE FRAUD EXAMPLE

A fraud artist steals the identity of the legitimate owner of the property; The fraud artist sells the property to an unsuspecting purchaser who also obtains mortgage financing; The unsuspecting purchaser either moves in or attempts to move into the property; The legitimate owner is faced with defending his/her interest in the property, including evicting the unsuspecting purchaser, and having their title subject to any mortgages, the unsuspecting purchaser has put on the title.

Other examples involve survey coverage; septic systems; fraud, forgery, impersonation, duress and mental incompetence; encroachment; liens on title; others claiming a legal interest in title. Thieves often target properties that are mortgage free and where owners have a good credit rating. This allows them to apply for a significant mortgage. Generally, the losses to homeowners can be catastrophic with the homeowners paying thousands of dollars in legal fees to defend their title and lenders often losing the full amount of their mortgage. Although it’s difficult to pinpoint an exact number, one association suggests that mortgage fraud amounts to $1.5 billion a year across Canada. Most lending institutions now require title insurance upon registration of your mortgage with the lawyer/notary for either purchasing or refinancing your home. This requirement is to protect the “lender” in the event of real estate fraud. Should you already have a mortgage in place on your home, and not have title insurance to protect yourself, it’s not too late to do so. Contact your lawyer/notary for assistance. Find out what it covers so you fully understand the benefits of title insurance. The cost is actually inexpensive when you look at the overall protection to one of your most valued assets. As you insure your life to protect your family, why not insure your home to protect against losing that precious equity you have built up. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Darwyn Sloat, 250-718-4117; Trish Balaberde, 250-470-8324; Arlyne Wilson, 250-862-1818; and Kristin Rosdal, 250878-3007,

Lynn Underwood CONTRIBUTOR

Mary Myss never has to paint her Chaska, Minn., home, mow the lawn or shovel her driveway. That’s because her walkout rambler is in Pioneer Point, a subdivision of single-family homes that are maintained by a homeowners’ association. “It’s one of the best kept secrets,” said Myss. “It’s amazing that more people don’t know about it.” Before moving to Chaska, Myss and her children lived in a big house in Wayzata, Minn., with an equally big yard that she was fine with tending— until she wasn’t. “What put me over the edge was coming home from work in the winter after a snowfall and I couldn’t get up the driveway,” she said. At Pioneer Point, she still has her own entrance, her own yard and her own deck, but none of the work to care for them. Her $220 monthly association fee covers lawn care, snowplowing, exterior repairs, maintaining the common grounds and even blacktopping the driveway.

HARRISON WATT, 3, is playfully chased by his grandmother, Mary Pat Myss,

right, during a visit from Myss’ daughter, Allison Watt and her two sons, at Myss’ home in Chaska, Minn. Myss’ home is part of a single-family homes that are association maintained, meaning things like maintaining the lawn and shoveling the snow are not her responsibility. “When I’m home, I’m sitting on my deck barbecuing and playing with my grandchildren rather than dealing with maintenance issues,” she said. This type of housing— called manor homes, villas, cottage homes or detached townhouses—is tailored to people who want the privacy of a traditional single-family home with the convenience of a condo. And although it accounts for only a tiny slice of the real estate pie, builders and developers are cautiously optimistic that this hybrid style of house will grow in popularity, partly because it’s designed for a growing population: retiring baby boomers. “Many of my buyers are people who just want to lock the door and leave to go to the lake or to a second home in the winter,” said builder Forrest Harstad, whose 69-lot development, the Fields of St. Michael, offers homes ranging from $200,000 to $400,000 US. In the past, Harstad has built twinhomes and townhouses, but he said customers were looking for “homes that don’t share a common wall but everything was taken care of.” K. Hovnanian Homes, a national builder based in New Jersey, is aiming at the 55-plus crowd with its Four Seasons at Rush Creek in Maple Grove, Minn. Homes range from $260,000 to $400,000 US. Owners pay $260 a month for the tennis courts, clubhouse, pool and fitness center, as well as lawn care. According to John

Nelson, Minnesota division director of marketing, many of the buyers are snowbirds. “We’ve done more than 100 of this type of housing developments across the country,” said Nelson. “But it’s more common in the Southern market and East Coast, where there are more retirees.” Here in Minnesota, empty nesters and retirees aren’t the only ones attracted to the low-maintenance housing. Some builders have discovered that busy young professionals and families with young children are interested, too. “We started with ramblers for empty-nesters, but now we’re doing two-stories for families with young kids who like that kind of atmosphere,” said Tom Budzynski, owner of TJB Homes, whose St. Andrews Village in Blaine, Minn., offers a community pool and a park. About half of the 60 homes, which start at $300,000, have been sold. The upscale Crosby Cove, a collection of $2 million-plus mansions on a channel leading to Lake Minnetonka, has attracted a mix of young families and seniors, said Jennifer Cramer-Miller, vice president of L. Cramer Builders, who also owns a home there. “There’s so many inherent benefits, such as noise reduction, and it also unifies the neighborhood because they maintain it together,” she said. In most developments, the homeowners’ association hires a management company to take care of

services or contract the work out themselves. One of the perks is that all the mowing, trimming and weed-whacking is done on the same day, leaving the rest of the week quiet. Monthly fees range from $95 for basic mowing and snowplowing to $260 depending on the range of services and neighborhood amenities such as community pools, docks and parks. But not everyone wants to live in a managed subdivision. Associations have guidelines and often reserve the right to approve landscaping, exterior modifications, even paint colours. But Myss has no issues with the restrictions. “I do have to get permission to do anything,” she said. “I can’t paint my house purple, but I view that as an advantage. And everyone’s lawn looks fantastic.” Despite the growing interest in associationmaintained single-family homes, builders are proceeding with caution. “We’ll watch how the market develops,” said Bjorn Freudenthal, vicepresident of sales and marketing for College City Design/Build. And Pulte Homes, which built Myss’ home in Chaska, is targeting a different group of buyers. The company is offering 177 home sites in five new Twin Cities projects this summer. None is association-maintained. “We’re getting back to fundamentals,” said Marv McDaris, Pulte division president. “We feel location, schools and communities are driving the housing demand.”

showcase W WEST HARBOUR

Homebuyer demographic appeal is wide Dream from B24 they are being built first. This allows each owner to feel confident in the purchase that they have made. Q: What’s different or unique about West Harbour versus other comparable projects in the Central Okanagan? Waslyk: West Harbour is unique in that it appeals to so many demographics. From the professional couple to empty nesters, this community offers homes ranging from 2,700 to 6,000 squarefeet. These are singlefamily lake view homes, all with access to over an acre of beach, and their access to their own boat slip. Our owners demand the highest value possible and with engineered hardwood floors, granite, concrete roofs, elegant lighting, brushed nickel faucets and massive decks with lake view West Harbour delivers exceptional value. But the value only begins there. Each owner can choose to build their homes to their own specifications through the design process, or can opt for a completely customdesigned home. West Harbour owners demand options, amenities, and the best of what the Okanagan has to offer. This development appeals to those that want to live life to the fullest, in a community that knows their name, and with people with like interests. This is a community of active people—walking their dogs on the trails around and through the community, boating with friends, walking to see a movie at the new Oka-

nagan Lake Mall, swimming in the protected area off the beach, barbecuing off their deck and watching the boats play on the water. This where people come to live the Okanagan dream. Q: Tell us about Troika and your partner on this project, Quadra Homes. Tell us about your past projects and why you are so passionate about building homes in the Okanagan? Waslyk: This project is the combination of over 50 years of experience. Both Troika Developments and Quadra Homes are adept at building projects that speak to the current market, and aren’t afraid of offering too much to their clients. Through many of the projects here in the Okanagan, like The Gate Townhomes, the projects are designed to the highest standard for the market. Q: You are running a very interesting marketing campaign for West Harbour. Tell us about it. Why has it resonated with potential home buyers? Waslyk: Like the marketing campaign running, Troika believes that this community is different. It is rewriting the rules of development, and rewriting the rules of purchasing and owning a lakeside home in the Okanagan. This is a development where the owners demand something that they can’t find anywhere else: a waterfront community that is the best value proposition in the valley. This is a project that while offering the highest calibre construction, most amenities possible including boat slip, and lake front living with over an

acre of sandy beach, also offers this at a price similar to any other subdivision in Kelowna or West Kelowna. And it offers our buyers the opportunity to feel free to live their lives in the way that they have always dreamed. Q: As local developers how have you noticed the development industry change over the last few years? What have you done to respond to the changing market conditions? Waslyk: The market has changed dramatically over the last few years, and West Harbour is a direct result of those changes. Value is king. This is where you can buy the best lot, at the lowest price, with the most choice of views and design elements. This is where you can park your boat in your marina slip, your car in your garage, and sit out on your deck and marvel at the Okanagan Lake and valley’s beauty. This is where you can redefine what living is supposed to be. Q: Lastly, how can interested buyers view the homes at West Harbour and/ or access more information on the project? Waslyk: For more information, come to our Beach Party on Saturday, July 16, from 1 to 5 p.m., or call 250-763-6622, or visit the show suite at 1593 Ellis St., in Kelowna or online at www.westharbourkelowna.com.

WEST HARBOUR is a lakeside single-family home community on the Westside that comes with a host of feature amenities including a marina for resident boat owners (lower photo). “Both Troika Developments and Quadra Homes are adept at building projects that speak to the current market, and aren’t afraid of offering too much to their clients.” —Rene Waslyk, Troika Development

Lakeside living dream comes to life on Westside Renee Waslyk, with Troika Development, talks about the company’s new West Harbour real estate project. Shauna Nyrose CONTRIBUTOR

Question: There has been a lot of activity on the west side of the lake

lately at West Harbour Beach. Give us an overview of the West Harbour community and how development is progressing. Waslyk: This has

been a slow spring for our weather, and it would seem that the general real estate market has emulated that. However, the waterfront community of West Harbour is definitely the exception to that trend. West Harbour is an extraordinary lakeside

single family home community located directly across the lake from downtown Kelowna. The construction is moving in full force, and anyone that has been on the water lately will notice that the houses are coming up out of the ground. These are pre-sold

homes, and are indicative of the success that is found at West Harbour. This success has largely come from giving the owners the life and lifestyle that they dreamed of having. With the boat slips already in place, the marina at West Harbour is ready for the

homeowners’ boats and pleasure crafts. Every home comes with its own boat slip and allows unparalleled access to the water, most range in price from $500 $750,000. But that is not where the West Harbour dream ends, but rather begins.

The amenity area, complete with pools and hot tub, community barbecue and fireplace, commences construction this fall, with completion of some aspects in the spring. We are not waiting to build our amenities, See Dream B23
