mong the strapping professional hockey players working out at Pinnacle Elite Athlete on a hot August morning is a man on a mission. Shane Pizzey counts numerous NHL players as his clients at Pinnacle, a place that has become a home-away-from-home for several pro hockey players, as well as minor leaguers, elite athletes and young up-andcomers from all walks of sport. The 33-year-old Pizzey is a trained strength coach, sporting a bachelor of human kinetics degree and a masters in exercise physiology in his education background. He has worked for national sports institutes in Canada and Malaysia, and for the NHL’s Calgary Flames, as well as Hockey Canada. But it has been since joining Pinnacle three years ago that Pizzey has really come into his own, building a stable of dozens of pro hockey players who he helps to train. So perhaps one of his biggest skills could be finding a nice way to order a 6-foot-4, 235-pound power-horse like Shea Weber around the gym. “It was a little bit intimidating when I first started,” admits Pizzey. “Obviously I’m a fan but I’ve gotten to know a lot of the guys quite well on a personal level now so it’s not too intimidating. They’re regular, 25 or 30-year-old guys who just happen to do a different job for a living.” On this August morning, Pizzey works out a few different groups of players. There is Scott Hannan, Nolan Yonkman and Vern Fiddler, all former Kelowna Rockets getting set for NHL training camps. It was Fiddler who got the ball rolling for Pizzey and Pinnacle several years ago. Now a member of the Dallas Stars, Fiddler was back in Kelowna and looking for a workout when he found Pizzey at what was then Mission Fitness. See Training A3

CLOSE-UP

NHLers train here Training from A1

Shane Pizzey has become a one-stop shop for more than 30 NHL and AHL players. In late August, the players will be at CNC twice a day. They workout in the morning with Pizzey before heading back in the afternoon to skate in what can only be called the best drop-in hockey in the city. It’s not hard to figure out why they come here. “Have you looked outside?” says Scott Hannan, a 12-year NHL veteran who played his first full season with the Rockets when the franchise moved here from Tacoma. “I moved here in ’95 to play with the Rockets in the old Memorial Arena back in their first days here,” says Hannan, originally from Richmond. “I’ve pretty much been coming back ever since. It’s a great place to be in the summer. Growing up in Vancouver, it’s close to family. I love it up here.” After awhile Hannan, Fiddler and Yonkman head out and are replaced by a younger generation of pros as Shea Weber, Josh Gorges, Blake Comeau and Wade Redden start a session of

“(Fiddler) said he needed someone and that he would give me a try,” said Pizzey of their first meeting. “I think at first it was the good location that got guys coming in. Then I started working with one or two guys and it grew from there by word of mouth.” At the same time as NHL players are hitting the gym, smaller groups of younger athletes get in workouts, working nearly shoulder to shoulder with the professionals. Pizzey says having pro athletes training in their building gives everyone a boost. “They bring a lot of energy, there is a good feel to having them here,” he said. “It helps drive the younger athletes. Some are in junior hockey or other sports, but when they see these NHL guys coming in and working out as hard as they do it helps everybody. It creates that culture of sports that we’re trying to create here.” ••• Part of the culture of sports in Kelowna has become the fact that it’s a haven for elite athletes to train in. For professional hockey players who train in Kelowna, it’s like the perfect storm. Many of them started their careers with the Kelowna Rockets and return each summer. With Pizzey and Pinnacle Elite providing the training ground and the Capital News Centre able to rent the players ice for skating sessions, the CNC

testing. The four trade off machines, urging each other on to push harder, jump higher and sprint faster. “I just like coming in every morning and seeing the guys I played with for years here in Kelowna,” says Weber, a Sicamous native who will head back to Nashville after being awarded a big new contract through arbitration this summer. “We still keep in contact through the season but in the summer you get a chance to see the guys, workout together and push each other to get better,” says Weber. Comeau is also sporting a new contract after signing a one-year deal with the New York Islanders. A native of Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan, Comeau has never left Kelowna after joining the Rockets as a youngster. “I was going into high school in Grade 11 and I decided I wanted to stay out here,” he recalls. “I met some good friends in high school and some good friends on the hockey team, so it was an easy decision. It’s a nice place for my family to come out here for a vacation. There is not too many reasons why you would want to leave Kelowna in the summer.” ••• As the calendar gets set to turn to September, the group of NHL players that have made Kelowna their home for the summer months is set to head out to various teams around the league.

will have more time to work with athletes both young and old, who are looking to chase careers, dreams and aspirations.

To help raise awareness Pizzey cut his long flowing hair into what they used to call “hockey hair” and is now known simply as a bad mullet. “Not everyone is able to compete in the sport they want, let alone train, so my thought was ‘let’s

do something,’” he says. “If I can make a little mockery of my hair and all the funds go directly to KidSport, then that’s great. If we can get a couple kids playing sport who would not be able to, that makes me feel good.” If you want to help Pizzey’s fundraising effort, contact him at 250764-3189. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

New Westside school trustee boundaries coming Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

There will be a new system of voting for Westside school trustees this year and one person has already thrown her hat in the ring. Long-time trustee Moyra Baxter says she plans to run in a new trustee position which would be responsible for Peachland and the rural areas considered within the Central Okanagan Regional District but outside the District of West Kelowna’s borders—Fintry, Trépanier and the Westbank First Nation land among them. The Westside would thus have one trustee covering the District of West Kelowna and one covering Peachland, the WFN lands and rural Westside. “This isn’t unique,” said Baxter, who was instrumental in defining the new electoral boundaries. “There’s a trustee down in

Moyra Baxter Okanagan-Skaha with a similar territory.” The change means trustees will have a specific person allocated to service their area and a specific person to call to deal with issues. Baxter was the only returning school trustee to state publicly this week that she is making a run for a seat on the board of education, though trustees Gail Given and Jeff Watson confirmed they would be moving on to other ventures. Given is throwing her hat in the ring for city

council, saying, she’s ready for the new challenge. Her husband, Brian Given, served on city council for a decade before passing away two years ago this month. Given has served one term on the board of education. “It’s something I’ve felt a calling to do,” she said, noting she was getting dressed to pick up her council package Thursday morning. For his part, Watson has decided to step away from public office to spend more time on his day job and with his four children. The trustee position was simply more work than he had anticipated, he said. He’s hoping to use the extra time to reconnect with his children. Board chairman Rolli Cacchioni, meanwhile, has not decided whether he will run. Wayne Horning, Gail Scanlan and Anna Hunt-Binkley could not be reached by press deadline for comment.

kicking a prone man in the head during an arrest will face a three-week trial, the court learned Thursday. Crown counsel William Burrows said he expects to spend at least eight days interviewing 45 witnesses in the case against Const. Geoff Mantler, although that number could dwindle as witness interviews proceed. He’ll also be offering up the now infamous video footage of the kick to Buddy Tavares’s head. Mantler’s lawyer, Neville McDougall, said he expected to use no more than four days of the court’s time to present a defence. He has six witnesses and 911 transcripts to run through, and they should be able to speak to the mindset of police as they pursued Tavares on a weapons complaint. Both lawyers pointed

out that this has been a notorious case, which Crown said prompted cause for the lengthy trial period. Const. Geoff Mantler was caught on video kicking 51-year-old Buddy Tavares in the face Jan. 7. Video of Tavares’ arrest shows him kneeling on the street when Mantler allegedly kicks him. When an officer rolls him over, his face is covered in blood and there appears to be a pool of blood where he was lying. The video created an outcry that played out in protests and social media campaigns. Mantler has since been suspended without pay. He faces another unrelated charge of assault. A date for the trial has yet to be set. Both lawyers noted finding a threeweek block of court time may present a challenge.

A motion to start the process of implementing a school liaison officer as soon as possible was tabled at a District of West Kelowna council meeting on Tuesday evening. A point of order was raised by Coun. Duane Ophus, who claimed that council had turned down a similar motion less than six months ago. District staff didn’t have the resources to verify Ophus’ claim; therefore, council voted to table the motion. This spring, council agreed that the district would approach other jurisdictions to determine their interest in participating financially in the ac-

quisition of an officer for schools in West Kelowna. Coun. Rosalind Neis made Tuesday evening’s motion and said that it shouldn’t matter whether or not other jurisdictions contribute financially. “I don’t care whether Peachland, WFN (Westbank First Nation), or anybody else comes on board: It’s not about the money,” said Neis. “I honestly believe that there isn’t one single member of this community that, given the information that we have, would deny and not support the implementation of this position.” Const. Cheryl McKinnon, an RCMP school liaison officer in Rutland, presented the benefits of

having an officer in the schools. She said that she has noticed some kids in West Kelowna tend to be less receptive to police. “I work the football games and I will say that the Westside kids, of all the kids that come, are not used to having a police (officer) there. I may still be a pig, or they may smell bacon,” said McKinnon. “I really have to work my shtick with them to get me on board. The other kids are used to seeing a police officer.” Coun. Gord Milsom agreed with Neis’ motion. “This is such a valuable program that I really feel that we need to take a lead on this,” said Milsom.

“I see this position as being much more than just an expenditure. I think it’s an important investment in our most valuable asset: Our youth.” But Ophus insisted the motion was out of order. “This process is just plain wrong and I won’t support it. As strongly as we all feel about dealing with this issue, we have discussed it at length and we’ve agreed to the appropriate and proper method of handling it,” said Ophus. “This is a very expensive position and it needs to be properly analyzed and discussed through a budget process.” Council voted 4-3 to table the motion until a future meeting.

Second Gellatly Road upgrade underway Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Citizens of West Kelowna will be able to enjoy a new and improved stretch of Gellatly Road as early as November. A new four metre wide pedestrian bridge over Powers Creek is among the highlights of the second phase of improvements to the road. The bridge will have a decorative surface and a wood-grain appearance. The improvements of phase two, which will

span 200 metres from the bridge to the intersection of Angus and Gellatly Road, will also provide 13 regular parking spaces and four handicapped parking stalls. The upgraded road will allow for two traffic lanes, two cycling lanes, a pedestrian pathway and sidewalk and will feature a landscaped boulevard. An RFB (request for bid) went out on Aug. 17 and bidders have until the end of the month to win the project. Mayor Doug Findlat-

er said that the improvements are much needed. “The area that we’re addressing here is a gong show in the summer. There is nowhere for people to walk, there are cars parked every which way and it’s right by the beach,” said Findlater. “It’s going to bring some organization to it and it’s being built to the same standard as the other piece (phase one), going from the cove to the bridge, and people love it,” he said. The upgrades will al-

low for a continuous walkway from the new trail to the existing gravel trail. “People want to walk on that walkway; I think (they) will be very pleased with this.” Coun. Duane Ophus was also pleased that the project is going forward. “This is a fantastic improvement over what is there and I think that we should be very happy that we’re going to be able to achieve this over the course of the next two months,” said Ophus. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Of the three who are still behind bars, Thomas has yet to obtain legal counsel, although he told the court he intended to do so within the next month, setting the pace for when particulars—the part of court proceedings that enables the accused to know the case they have to meet—will be read.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a happy ending to years of work, that at one point, seemed impossible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m dying to get this thing finished,â&#x20AC;? said Schuster, who was showing visitors at a Thursday afternoon open-house, Sunstar Venturesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; plans for the building and surrounding property.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This building has so much potential.â&#x20AC;? While those words have likely been said a few times since ground was broken for the project in 2002, Schuster knows best. The upper floors, he explained, have enclosed patios that reflect the original plannerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire to make the whole building a living garden, fit for palm trees. It would have dealt with the heat issues, he explained. There were also intricate plans to deal with snow removal, while maintaining a tropical

al plans for the 99-unit building have gone the way of the Dodo, the new vision has Schuster excited as well. The building itself only accounts for 20 per cent of the 17 acres attached with the project. And, while it â&#x20AC;&#x201D;along with a two-storey parking lotâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;is about five months from being finished, the rest of the plan could take a lot longer to complete. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The site was originally geared for 1,200 residential units, now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at 400 to 500,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to make it multi-use for all different ages.â&#x20AC;? That means the New Town plan will include office and retail space, along with parks, pools, townhouses and apartments. Further in the offing are plans for assisted living units, although sketches for that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t put together yet. Currently, the aim is to finish the Conservatoryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; which will be renamed soon enoughâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;so renters can move in by the beginning of 2012, said developer Bob Buvyer. The building will be stratified, however, and in the years to come, when the market bounces back, units will be sold off. Meantime, renters who are in the market for some luxury can rent a one-bedroom apartment in the low $900 range. Larger units will be in the $2,000 range.

More election papers picked up Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

The list of Kelowna city council hopefuls grew by three Thursday. Ken Chung, Larry Gray and Colin Basaran are the latest to pick up nomination packages, bringing the grand total to 12 by Thursday, say city staff.

Already, James Murphy, Carol Gran, Bobby Kennedy, Mary-Ann Graham, Tisha Kalmanovich, Peter McFadden, Andrew Powell, Elizabeth Fehr and Mohini Singh picked up packages. Murphy also picked up a nomination package for mayor, along with Kim Ouelette. The general election is

set for Saturday, Nov. 19 to elect a mayor, councillors and school trustees. Those interested in running can download more information from the city’s web page or pick up a nomination package available at the Office of City Clerk at City Hall, while the period to file nomination papers is Oct. 4 to 14.

Candidate and voter information is available on the city’s election website, kelowna.ca/election, which includes links to social media and an esubscription service. Residents of Kelowna 18 years of age and older can check their eligibility to vote at kelowna.ca/election. The election office can be reached at 250-469-8763.

HST decision to be revealed today Tom Fletcher BALCK PRESS

Politicians and business owners are nervously awaiting the outcome of B.C.’s harmonized sales tax referendum, which was to revealed shortly before noon today. Premier Christy Clark is braced for rejection of the HST, when Elections BC releases the official count of more than 1.6 million ballots mailed in from around the province this summer. Clark’s government has been working long h epare what

she calls “plan B” for returning the province to its former provincial sales tax if a majority of people vote to end the HST. If that happens, one of the first tasks that would fall to the B.C. government would be opening negotiations with the federal government on repaying a $1.6 billion transition fund paid to the province since the adoption of the HST in 2010. A provincial sales tax administration and audit centre would also have to be re-established, and businesses across the

province would have to change their cash registers and accounting systems for the second time in two years. If the HST survives the referendum, B.C. will send out transition payments of $175 for each child under 18 and lower-income senior in the province. In an effort to persuade voters to keep the HST, Clark and Finance Minister Kevin Falcon have also committed to reduce the rate from 12 per cent to 11 per cent next year and 10 per cent in 2014.

If the HST is rejected, Falcon has kept his options open to change some of the exemptions to the former PST. But Clark said this week that her government will carry out the will of the people as expressed in the referendum. Meanwhile, a new study finds B.C. residents on average enjoy the lightest income tax burden in the country. The C.D. Howe Institute examined federal and provincial income taxes and credits to make the finding.

To the editor: Re: Curbing the Local Driver’s Need for Speed, Aug. 25 Capital News. Having spent the better part of August in Washington state, it was refreshing to read your report on the efforts of West Kelowna council to curb the appetites of our drivers for speed. By the number of “citations” that were issued, it was self-evident that this action was sorely needed. I encountered very few, if any drivers while I was away, who did not put their efforts into driving sanely and wisely in view of the fact that speed limits are there to make our roads safe, and our tank of gas go further, what with the costs of that commodity. I wish to commend and thank West Kelowna council for their efforts, and the money spent to do this was very well spent. May this situation be kept up so that West Kelowna can join the cities of Entiat, Tonasket, Cashmere, Chelan and Leavenworth, to name a few, where one enjoys a relaxing visit, and speeding is not on the menu. This is a step in the right direction, and again, I thank our council. Ron Barnard, West Kelowna

After all, it ties into my favourite conversation piece: The world is going to hell in a hand basket. Then, unfortunately, reasonable discourse came to the fore and the idea that one clothing line could be responsible for the end of days fell to the wayside. The fact is, there is nothing unique about the clothing line or the ad campaign. As the company head points out, “Children do not wear heels, or nail polish or lipstick. Hairstyles are exaggerated as are the games and the world of children. Yes, the models are wearing sunglasses like all children, so we sometimes see the belly or legs as on the

beaches, so they also wear necklaces at home at home as do all the little girls to have fun.” She’s right, sadly. These days, that is how little girls have fun. Take a walk down any Okanagan beach and you’ll see wee girls in teeny bikinis, and my personal pet peeve, preteens with dyed hair and makeup. They’re mirroring what they see on MTV and various fashion pages, not what’s in La Senza for kids. The company is merely meeting a demand, and if we don’t like that, it needs to be addressed in another way. After all, the big issue is the end product, and the clothes don’t really make the woman, clearly. Amazon ruler, I’m not. Sigh.

Comments from the Web on noise bylaw To the editor: Kelowna cracks down on noisy boats and bikes, Aug. 23 Capital News. The issue really is: Who is going to police the infractions? You can make or adjust all the laws you want, but without inforcement, it is a waste of time. Kelowna city council again does “due diligence” without any intention of enforcement. Miner3, Recent Comments from www.kelownacapnews.com To the editor: I have a concern with the dollar amount of these fines—they are way out of proportion to the level of “damage” or “pollution” noise creates.

COMMENTS FROM kelownacapnews.com

is basically an unguided missile capable of causing death, gets a ticket costing twothirds less of a fine than someone rocking out to Bon Jovi a little too loud? Also, how does the cop pull someone over with a loud stereo and prove at what level the culprit was listening to the radio? Does the cop tell the person to keep turning it up until they break the dB barrier, or is it the theoretical max volume? What if the cop demands the stereo be turned to max volume for the purpose of measuring and they blow the speakers? As for bikes, I have a stock 1984 GSX with newer OEM pipes, and I know that if I redline my bike I will break the dB barrier. Do I ever take it beyond half RPMs? No. But

if they make me rev it to redline it’ll not only get me a fine, but also damage my collector bike’s engine. Same thing goes with boats. Once again, 1967 14-foot aluminum craft with a stock 1980 Evinrude 30 outboard. Runs like a dream and costs pennies in gas, but definitely a bit louder than 85 dBs with heavy throttle. So I have to be on the lookout for cops to ticket me half the value of my water craft? Or do I have to go out and spend 20 grand on a new gas guzzling beast (on financing like all the other shmucks here in the Okanagan) to ensure compliance? I know that I am going to give Kelowna less of my money whenever I can and I am glad that I am just outside of your taxpayer footprint. Shaun Cameron, Recent Comments from www.kelownacapnews.com

Ulterior motive for Blanleil to weaken noise bylaw

To the editor: I understand the need to reduce urban noise from all sources, including engines and stereos in cars, boats and motorcycles. I also understand why Councillor Andre Blanleil opposed amendments to set maxfimum noise levels permitted in the city’s noise bylaw—one of his companies sells and installs the offending stereo equipment in these vehicles and could benefit from a weakened r

t k

bylaw that fails to specifically list the term “stereo systems” in these vehicles. What I don’t understand is why Blanleil was allowed to participate in both the bylaw discussion and the vote on it. Blanleil opposed reducing noise limits with some bizarre logic that the bylaw would discourage tourism. This diversion served a very useful purpose. It drew Kelowna City council’s attention away from the fact that the

actual wording of the bylaw omitted the term “stereo systems” as a point source for the noise emitted by these vehicles. Technically, the bylaw does not specify “stereo systems” and council needs to further amend it—without Blanleil at the table— to include “stereo systems” as a specific point source for noise pollution.

Comments from the Web on HOV lanes To the editor: Our View: HOV experiment has run its course, Aug. 23 Capital News. I wonder what you mean by “don’t seem to be working”? What is the criteria for success/failure of the HOV lanes? Seems to me the idea is to shift travelers out of single-occupant vehicles into shared vehicles, mass transit, bicycles, etc., to reduce environmental impact on a per-person basis. Maybe the idea is to allow for transportation of more people without increasing congestion. Or maybe it’s something else. In any case, without knowing the objective— which does not seem to be mentioned in the

editorial—it is hard to agree/disagree with your position. And if people are cheating, that is a separate issue to be dealt with. No matter what the objective, nobody should expect 100 per cent voluntary compliance. The question is how far off 100 per cent are we, and if it is beyond acceptable, what is to be done? John Yuill, Recent Comments from www.kelownacapnews.com

To the editor: Kelowna was never really set up for an HOV lane. In most cities, HOV lanes are set up along long stretches of highway (eg. Vancouver, Burnaby, etc.) where there are few turn-offs into the left hand side of the highway. Had Kelowna set this up for the “fast” lane, next to the meridian, and limited the number of left-hand turns (which might have proved difficult as well), it could have worked out better. Jackal, Recent Comments from www.kelownacapnews.com

Discuss farmed salmon issue all in good time To the editor: David Suzuki always has had critical advise for all governments, in some cases, for good reason. But his musings about Kristi Miller of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, who was forbidden to comment to the media about her investigation into the possibility of an ocean-born virus killing large numbers of Pacific salmon, is simply wrong. Ms. Miller was told not to comment. And she didn’t. The Cohen Commission has very strict rules about any advance release of data that is to be officially presented before its hearings.

Commission head Cohen has stated that he will not allow the arguments about salmon aquaculture to be fought in the press before all submissions are dealt with.… It is worth remembering that Suzuki said on CBC Radio: “Farmed Atlantic salmon are packed with poisons.” The foundation in his name distributed cards saying “Don’t buy farmed salmon anywhere. Phone your local hospital and find out if farmed salmon is served to patients.” Is this his idea “of putting the public interest above political concerns”? Suzuki’s claims are political. They are de-

signed to frighten people; it makes collecting “donations” much easier. And it works. According to published reports of data from the U.S., the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, with the Betty Moore Foundation have granted more than $130 million (US) to B.C. organizations, including The David Suzuki Foundation, that are not friendly to salmon farming in B.C. If they are successful in eradicating the industry in B.C., the Alaskan salmon fishing industry will benefit. They will be able to raise even more than nine billion salmon in their hatcheries every year,

dump them into the Pacific and label them “wild.” If that’s not political, I

don’t know what is. Stuart Morrison, Kelowna

Be waterwise and save it for what really matters most Corinne Jackson CONTRIBUTOR

CORINNE JACKSON/CONTRIBUTOR

KEVIN DAY of Byrnes Farms inspects a micro-jet sprinkler. The Okanagan farm uses micro-jets, as well as drip irrigation, to be efficient with its water.

Summer is perhaps the best time of year in the Okanagan. The sun is shining. People seem more relaxed and friendly, happy to pick up local fresh fruits and vegetables at small fruit stands, farmers markets and in the local grocery stores. The food tastes better—having fully ripened before being picked. It’s healthier—with Canada having some of the strongest regulations on sprays farmers can use. And, it’s better for the en-

vironment, both with controls on spraying but also not having been shipped and trucked thousands of kilometres or more. Of course, none of this is possible without the hot Okanagan sun, and water. “Food grows where water flows,” quips longtime Okanagan farmer Domenic Rampone, quoting a bumper sticker he once saw. “It’s true. Without water, we don’t eat.” But for the farmer, the summer, especially August, can also be one of the most difficult times. After months of tending to their land and crops,

and as they begin to see the fruits of their labour, they also see the competition for water ramping up. First, there’s the need to ensure there’s enough water for fish to successfully return to our creeks and spawn. But then, residents are also looking to keep their lawns green, their flowers alive and perhaps ensure any food crops they’re growing, also don’t wither.

‘‘ IT’S TRUE. WITHOUT WATER, WE DON’T EAT. Domenic Rampone

There’s a finite amount of water available. And, when we use water for one purpose, there’s less available to use elsewhere. The significance of local food production can be seen in a 2006 B.C. Ministry of Agriculture report that found 48 per cent of all foods consumed in B.C. are B.C.-grown. The benefits of local food production are many, as outlined above. But in addition, there’s the added benefit of food security. In the short-term, we can continue to buy our food from elsewhere, but the fact is that other regions are facing the same, or worse, water issues. It makes sense then to en-

sure healthy food production in the Okanagan. According to the Ministry of Agriculture report, as B.C.’s population grows, the amount of irrigated farm land needed to continue to meet that 48 per cent of locally grown food production will have to increase as well. According to Rampone, farmers in the Okanagan are moving more towards the use of water meters, drip irrigation and micro-jet sprinklers, and soil moisture sensors to ensure they are only using as much as their crops require. Changing over to these new systems is costly and government rebates to assist in these efforts would be appreciated. “But,” he adds, “we all need to do more to save water.” Ultimately, it comes down to a need for us to recognize the food/water connection and our need to seriously consider what the best use of our water is, ensuring we use it as efficiently and effectively as possible, adds Rampone. “Society has to recognize the importance of local food production and support it, buy it. And, by saving water, ensure it’s sustainable.” For more on Okanagan WaterWise, visit www. okwaterwise.ca. Okanagan WaterWise is an initiative of the Okanagan Basin Water Board.

PRC pool closing for work

From Aug. 29 through Sept. 11, the pool and aquatic areas of the Parkinson Recreation Centre will be temporarily closed for annual maintenance. The city says during this period, PRC pass holders can use the pool at the Kelowna Family Y in

Rutland and at H2O Adventure + Fitness Centre for no additional cost. “The timing of this year’s closure was chosen to ensure the least impact on our scheduled programs; however, we recognize the inconvenience the closure will have on

public swimming and our regular members,” said Lori Angus, administration and finance manager of recreation and cultural services at the city. “Helping families and individuals to get active and stay active is important to the city and this part-

nership with the Kelowna Family Y and the YMCA at H2O will allow our customers uninterrupted access to a pool.” The closure will affect the main PRC pool, children’s play pool, whirlpool and steam room. All other areas and

programs at the Parkinson Recreation Centre will not be affected by the closure. The pool and aquatic areas are scheduled to reopen on Sept. 12. For more information, contact the PRC at 250469-8800, or visit kelowna.ca/recreation.

Treating plantar fasciitis with traditional Chinese medicine NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman

etween the heel bone and the toes runs a strong fascia or ligament. It is made of connective tissue and supports the arch of the foot. The foot has two arches, a length arch and a width arch. The length

arch is the one most commonly affected by plantar fasciitis. When the arch is round and strong the bones of the foot are in the right position and there is balance in the foot. When the arch flattens, a lot of strain on the

bones and surrounding ligaments is created, resulting in pain, which can easily become excruciating, if not treated properly. Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. Athletes, especially those running on hard sur-

faces, put a lot of strain on their arches and are prone to developing plantar fasciitis. People carrying extra weight and women who are pregnant also put extra stress on the arch, and the bones and ligaments often cannot recover from

the continuous strain. Jobs that require much standing and walking can also contribute to plantar fasciitis, as can wearing shoes with inadequate support. In all cases, the fascia gets overstressed and becomes inflamed. Western medicine treats this condition with rest and ice in the acute stage and later orthotics may be prescribed. Anti-inflammatory drugs may also be helpful. Very important is the strengthening of the intrinsic muscles in the foot, which support the arch. These muscles have to be strong and wearing the wrong shoes can make them weak. In an acute stage, taping the foot to support the arch, in combination with muscle strengthening exercises, is a good approach to this problem. Stretching the plantar fasciia, Achilles tendon, and calf muscles can also help with recovery. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the sole of the foot is primarily the area of the kidney meridian. It is where the kidney meridian begins and finds its way up to the chest. Close to the fascia runs the bladder meridian, so weakness in the kidney and bladder meridians can result in plantar fasciitis among other symptoms. Internal weaknesses such as these can be a result of our genetic constitution, our habits and lifestyle, or a combination of these factors. Pain and inflammation in Chinese terms are stagnation of blood and qi-energy in the involved meridians, be-

cause of a malfunctioning of the corresponding organs. Acupuncture treatment will focus on kidney points, bladder points, gallbladder points and so called “ah shi” points, or local pain points. Allowing the foot muscles to rest and recover is also important- this can mean supporting them with properly fitting shoes, taking time off from exercise or a training routine, or reducing the amount of time you spend on your feet while recovering. Acupuncture, together with some rest, can offer relief in foot pain and improved function in a relatively short amount of time. However, plantar fasciitis can be a stubborn problem, simply because we require our feet for almost every daily activity, and this constant use can be a major barrier to healing. Results are quicker if the problem is addressed early on and if treatment is continued regularly until the problem is fully resolved, to prevent the problem from returning. Plantar fasciitis is another example of how acupuncture can successfully treat a common ailment, without using medication or surgery, but simply by harnessing the strength and energy that exists within our bodies.

Empathy appears to be on the decline in today’s society

mpathy is one of the finer human traits.

We like to think of it as a hard-wired aspect of our humanity and one

of the things that sets us apart from some other species—our ability to

understand and care about the feelings of others. Certainly, it is very

important in the function of a fair and compassionate society. If we can put ourselves in the shoes of someone else, we are more likely to help that person out during a difficult time and when we do this on a large scale we can raise the quality of life for all. This is why some recent data is concerning. One U.S. study out of the University of Michigan examined data from 14,000 college students who had filled out a selfreport questionnaire between 1979 and 2010 and found young people today are considerably less empathic than they were 30 years ago. According to this study, 75 per cent of students today rate themselves as less empathic than their peers of 30

HEALING MINDS

Paul Latimer years ago. Empathy has declined in each of the last three decades with the sharpest decline occurring since 2000. At the same time, other research points to a significant rise in selfreported narcissism and emphasis on the self. The lead researcher from this empathy study reported that many consider the current group of college students to be the most self-centered, competitive and individualistic in recent history. It does seem to follow

that a growing emphasis on self would correspond with less concern or care for others. So what is making people have less empathy today? Although a definitive answer is not available, there are several theories being posed by those in the field. Mostly, an increase in social isolation is blamed for the recent drop in empathy. People today are more likely to live alone and less likely to be part of groups than they were in the past. Social isolation has been linked to having less empathic feelings toward others.

NEWS â&#x2013;ź EDUCATION

How do you inspire young people to be all that they can be?

met an old friend on the street the other day and he asked me about my recent trip overseas and what I thought about the youth over there compared to here. My first thoughts were to say they seemed a bit more beat up. In other words, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tend to have much passion for initiating change. For them to lobby for change doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be an option even though the status quo isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t that great. Recent riots in London may have been a wakeup call but the reasons why the rioting took place is still unclear. So the real question is how do you create a passion among young people to help them realize they have the ability to shape their future and that of their country.

gaging in politics is how you can change things for the better. In closing he writes: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As my time in political life draws to a close I want to share with you my belief in your power to change this country and this world. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are great challenges before you, from the overwhelming nature of climate change to the unfairness of an economy that excludes so many from our collective wealth, and the changes necessary to build a more inclusive and generous Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe in you. Your energy, your vision, your passion for justice are exactly what this country needs today. You need to be at the heart of our economy, our political life, and our plans for the present and the future.â&#x20AC;?

SCHOOLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S IN

Jane Muskens When Jack Layton passed away this week, he understood the importance of capturing the hearts of Canadian youth and their role in the future of Canada. In his last letter to us he specifically addressed young Canadians. He told them how he devoted his entire life to make things better. He spoke of hope and optimism and how so many young people inspired him. He also acknowledged their frustrations and led them to believe that by en-

The youth of today need to take these words seriously if we are to continue to be the Canada that Jack Layton so loved. They need to know they have the power to influence government policy. When any segment of our population, whether it is young adults, recent immigrants or senior citizens, neglect to vote or simply give up caring about how the country is run, this passive voice has the ability to shape government policy in ways that may not meet the needs of all its citizens. One of my biggest concerns for the future is the rising cost of medical care for an aging population of baby boomers. How can we sustain the same level of funding for education, especially post-secondary when

more needs to be spent on hospitals, care homes, drugs and medical technology? If I was a young adult today, I would take Jack Laytonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words to heart and make sure the youth of Canada have a strong voice to ensure education continues to be important

to the government today and well into the future. I would find that soap box and make sure every generation in front of me and behind me understands how important education is if we are going to have a country where each generation is filled with hope and opti-

Jack Layton. There was no B.S., no stench of hidden agendas, deception or coyness. If Jack had something to say he’d say it. Most of the time he delivered his thoughts strongly but not in an insulting or malicious manner. Jack Layton loved Canada, loved Canadians, and loved life. We are a better nation today because of him and hopefully part of his legacy will be that we as an entity do not lose memory of the values and visions he fought for before his time with us was snatched away.

Even many of those Canadians who did not share his political bent or support him or his political party at the polling booth still viewed Layton as a man worthy of respect. They saw him as a straight shooter, a hard working and passionate man devoted to his country and his cause. There were no flies on

That’s the date of the 14th annual Okanagan Volunteer Opportunities Fair set for the Parkinson Recreation Centre. I have the pleasure of sitting on the organizing committee for this event and can guarantee that this year’s program will be fun filled and action packed. This year’s fair theme is Volunteers. Passion. Action. Impact. The public is invited to attend anytime between 10 am-3 p.m. Dawn Wilkinson, coordinator of the Community Information & Volunteer Centre (Kelowna Community Resources) says the popular speedmatching aspect of the fair will return again this year with folks having the

chance to learn about various volunteer organizations in their community which they may wish to join. Volunteer speed matching will go at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Volunteer Speed Matching is a high energy approach that has all the characteristics of speed dating with score sheets and a stopwatch. Daters move from table to table and the bell sounding every four minutes. Score sheets help potential volunteers keep track of which organizations they want to get to know better.

NEWS ▼ MP’S REPORT

MP happy to see community come together after gang shooting

t has been a difficult week for our community. The incident that took place at the Delta Grand Hotel has left many of us shocked and angry. Gangrelated crimes such as this show just how vulnerable the community can be to organized crime. It is a miracle that no innocent bystanders were hurt. I had a chance to have lunch with Daniel Bibby, the GM of the Delta Hotel. He said that he received several e-mails, cards and calls from folks in the community offering their support. I want to thank Bibby and his team for their patience and professionalism through all of this. The Delta Grand is one of the premier tourist locations in the Okanagan and Bibby and his team have done their utmost to ensure that visitors to the Delta feel safe and well taken care of. I was also in communication with Mayor Sharon Shepherd, local government representatives and the office of Public Safety Minister Vic Toews. Policing of our communities is a shared responsibility between the province and local governments. The federal government works with the province by maintaining transfer payments to fund the RCMP. In 2008, the federal government delivered a one-time boost of $400 million to the RCMP for the hiring of provincial police. The goal was to hire 2,500 more police officers across Canada.

SUPPORTING MS

Ron Cannan The provinces were given the discretion to disburse the funds as they saw fit and, in B.C., the provincial government chose to use the $53.3 million to make a threeyear commitment to establish the Organized Crime Task Force. I was encouraged to learn that the province, under Solicitor-General Shirley Bond, has committed to the continued funding of these dedicated resources and will maintain a focus on guns and gangs. This is no doubt due to ongoing efforts by the city, local organizations like the chamber of commerce, MLAs Ben Stewart, Steve Thomson and Norm Letnick and the outstanding leadership of RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon and his team who have kept the necessity of the Organized Crime Task Force front and centre. The issue of guns and gangs is a serious concern to our community and I assure you that it will also remain a priority for the federal government. By maintaining our funding commitments to the provinces and ensuring that legislation is in place to address organized crime through tough

Use the new tools to protect our remaining natural shoreline

hile it isn’t always apparent from land, when travelling on Okanagan Lake it’s obvious that very little natural shoreline remains. It simply bristles with docks and walls, which are punctuated by lakeshore and shallow water that’s clearly been denuded of vegetation. That may not seem like a bad thing if you have a lakeshore home and prefer to have nothing but sterile, man-made natural areas within your viewing area, but if you’re part of the fish or wildlife, plant, bird or insect communities, that’s lethal. In fact, we now know that 58 per cent of the shoreline is more than 40 per cent disturbed already, thanks to an amazing collaboration of all lakeside communities, regional districts, the province and federal government, coordinated by the Okanagan Collaborative Conservation Program. The OCCP has just completed its Foreshore Inventory and Mapping project, which is an invaluable tool for better

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves management. Now, we just have to make sure we pay attention to the warning, and use the data that’s available to make the right decisions on applications for development. At risk is not only the lives of natural communities around the lake, but also our own health since we too depend on a healthy lake, both to preserve drinking water quality and quantity, and to protect our economy. The jewels of lakes scattered along the floor of the Okanagan Valley drew many of us here to enjoy their beauty, and they still draw visitors from all over the world— a fact that is the foundation of our livelihoods. Second on TripAdvisor’s 2011 Traveller’s Choice for top beaches in Canada were three on

Okanagan Lake, and that website gets thousands of hits from around the world. It’s pretty important advertising for the valley’s tourism industry. But if we continue on our existing trajectory, in pretty short order, we’ll be wiping out what’s most attractive about the valley: the beauty of our lakes. According to the Ecoscape report recently presented by the OCCP to valley communities, we’re at risk of annihilating the remaining 43 per cent of natural shoreline in our own lifetimes at the rate we’re going. Part of the problem is cuts in provincial staff and a lack of enforcement of regulations regarding shorelines, while lands, now in the Forest, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Ministry, has dropped the ball as far as managing shoreline structures such as docks in recent years. Best management practices may sound fine in theory, but in practice, people do not follow such guidelines if they know nobody’s going to force

them to, and BMPs are what the province relies on now instead of enforcement. So, everyone who wants to alter their little patch of shoreline by constructing docks (there are 2,718), walls (1,799 or 58 km), groynes (939), or whatever, has been able to get away with it in recent years. And that’s where we are now: with a largely human-impacted shoreline, and only a very few spots where grebes can construct their delicate floating nests in the reeds—unimpeded by development or boat wakes, or the kokanee can lay their eggs in fall before dying. We must call a halt now to continued erosion of the natural shoreline, and all levels of government must work together, as must the various ministries that have a hand in managing such areas and enforcing the regulations. Perhaps it will prove to be beneficial that responsibility for lands is now within the same ministry as fish and wildlife, trails and rec sites and for-

They are just one of many alterations that have been made to the natural shoreline. ests and range management—if it means people begin to communicate with each other, use the same language and work together. I do believe if any politician can make that happen, it’s probably our own Steve Thomson, who has been tasked with making this new super-ministry work. At the local level, it’s vital that these new tools be put to use by planners and developers and that shoreline management become seamless

around the valley, with the goal of protecting the remaining high-value natural areas—without exception. It’s also important that upland linkages be maintained with these sensitive shoreline areas. And, we must begin to do some restoration of areas we’ve already damaged. Individuals can begin by looking around their own properties and acting as stewards of the natural environment. On public property where there’s been alter-

ation of the natural shoreline, we should be looking at where we can re-dress the wrong by doing some restoration work. It’s our chance to put our money where our mouth is and set an example for those with privately-owned lakeshore. We have the tools now, let’s all work together to put them to use and keep this valley a healthy and beautiful place to live, work and play.

▼ TRAINING CAMP

Rockets host 160 rookies The Kelowna Rockets kicked off their 2011 rookie training camp early Thursday morning with 160 young hockey players split into eight teams that will hit the ice twice a day through Sunday. Prospects arrived en masse Wednesday to register and meet the Kelowna Rockets organization and tour the team’s dressing room. On hand Wednesday to welcome players was the entire Rockets coaching staff as well as most of the scouting and office staff. General Manager Bruce Hamilton welcomed players and laid out the camp’s rules, which included severe penalties for hits from behind and hits to the knee and a ban on fighting. Head coach Ryan Huska said there is an air of excitement at training camp. “We’re excited. We’ve spent the last little while as a staff talking about different changes we’d like to bring in so it’s an exciting time.” Only 15 and 16-yearolds are skating in the camp with the Rockets 2011 draft class making their first appearance with the team. Players toured the Rockets dressing room after being welcomed by the Rockets’ Hamilton. For Huska and the rest of the coaching staff of Dan Lambert, Ryan Cuthbert, Kim Dillabough and Kim Gellert, they will act as referees. “We get to go out and be around the young guys,” said Huska. “We’ll

Rowing torch to be passed on in Slovenia Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

A pair of Kelowna rowers, at different ends of their careers, will be in the waters of Bled, Slovenia beginning this weekend at the 2011 World Rowing Championships. Team Canada and Olympic medalist Scott Frandsen has come out of retirement to again chase his rowing dreams, while Will Dean will take part in his first ever senior World Championships. Frandsen is again teamed with Dave Calder in the same men’s pair that claimed an Olympic silver medal in 2008 in Beijing while Dean’s first foray into the senior worlds will come in the men’s four. However it’s not Deans first international competition after taking part in the world championships in the Under-23 division in 2008 and ‘09. “This is my first senior World Championships and I’m honoured to represent Canada at this level,” said Dean, 24, via e-mail. “I have great con-

fidence in the other guys in my boat and I see the World Championships as an incredible opportunity.” For Frandsen, the veteran has seen it all in a long and successful rowing career. His first Olympics was 2004 as part of a heavily favoured men’s

eight that failed to medal. Then in 2008 he returned from a serious back injury to win Canada’s first medal at the Beijing games with an inspired race in the men’s pair. Following that he took a few years away from the sport (running two Ironmans in the process),

only to return last year for a run at his third Olympic games: In London in 2012. Frandsen’s story is an inspiration to Dean. In fact it was Frandsen who first convinced Dean to attend the University of California at Berkley, where Frandsen had been a three

He’s a good teammate, and sets a very, very high standard.” The World Rowing Championships get underway on Sunday and both Kelowna rowers will be looking to begin the trek to the London Olympics next year. For Frandsen that would mean the chance at his second Olympic medal and for Dean it would be the realization of a dream. But first the best boats in the world are waiting for both at the world rowing regatta. “I want to make the 2012 Olympics but I try not to fixate on goals,” said Dean. “I believe in working hard and seeing where that takes you.” Hopefully for both Kelowna rowers that will mean a trip to London next year. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Arch rivals battle for first place Solutions for RA Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Second-year running back Armand Bokitch confirmed what most people around the B.C. Football Conference already suspected. There’s absolutely no love lost between the Okanagan Sun and the Vancouver Island Raiders. “These teams have never liked each other very much as long as I can remember,” said Bokitch, 19. “The (Raiders) are a very talkative team and they try get under your skin, but we just need to focus on our own game. “Each team wants to beat the other and they’re about as well-matched as two teams can be. You can always expect a hardfought game when we meet.” The BCFC’s perennial arch rivals will square off for this first time this season on Saturday afternoon at Caledonia Park in Nanaimo. Kick off is 4 p.m. And, as usual, there will be plenty at stake. With both squads unbeaten at 4-0, the winner will take over sole possession of top spot in the conference at the halfway mark of the 2011 cam-

player of the year, Jordan Yantz. “He’s a good player and you’re not going to take everything away from him…they’re going to get their yards,” Sun defensive lineman Alex Law said of Yantz and the Raider offense. “But if we’re quick off the ball, we play hard, and we play smart, then

we have a good chance of slowing him down. “Even when they move the ball,” added Law, “we can’t get nervous or panic. We just need to stick to the game plan.” After a pair of mediocre efforts Langley, the Sun is coming off its best effort of the season, a dominant 49-7 win over the Westshore Rebels last Saturday night at the Apple Bowl. Okanagan was effective in all three aspects of the game—offense, defense and special teams— and looked a lot more like a team in sync than in the previous three weeks. Still, as much improvement as he saw in his club last week, head coach Jason Casey acknowledges playing the Rebels and playing the Raiders are two vastly different scenarios. “Against Nanaimo, we’re going to have to be perfect,” said Casey. “You can’t take plays off, but you also have to stay, calm, cool and collected. They’re going to get their plays, so it’s a matter of making sure we capitalize on our opportunities when we get them. We’ll have to be at the top of our game, physically and mentally.”

Casey said having Bokitch back in the lineup was a big boost to the offense against Victoria, and he’s hoping the same is true on Saturday afternoon against the Raiders. Bokitch missed the first three games of the regular season with a herniated disc, but didn’t seem to miss a beat with 127 yards rushing and two touchdowns against the Rebels. “It’s good to be back,” said Bokitch. “I’m glad I took that time off to get better, it should help me in the long run. It’s nice to be back out there with a chance to help the team. I worked really hard in the off-season, so hopefully it pays off.”

claw toes. Depending on the condition of the feet before onset of the disease, the toes will sometimes cross over one another making shoes uncomfortable. Loss of fat pad on the bottom of the feet makes them more sensitive to pressures making walking barefoot painful. Changing your shoes can reduce your symptoms more than any other form of treatment. Lower heeled shoes, a wide deep toe-box, and a stiff rocker sole (a sole that rocks like a rocking chair) generally provide relief for Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is important to select a model that has a soft upper and no seams to reduce rubbing on the toes. Special devices such as a ball and ring stretcher are sometimes used to accommodate deformities especially if there is a difference between the left and right foot. Recently, shoe manufacturers have designed footwear with a stretch fabric in the toe box for patients with bunions and other deformities of the toes. Custom foot orthotics can also be used to re-

CONTRIBUTOR

In Canada, one in 100 people are afflicted with Rheumatoid Arthritis. Women are at least two times more likely to suffer from this condition. Rheumatoid Arthritis is an auto – immune disease where the body attacks healthy tissue. It causes pain, swelling and stiffness in the joints of the body. Over time, inflammation of the synovial fluid in a joint can damage the cartilage, bones, and ligaments. As this process progresses it causes deformity, particularly in the hands, fingers, feet and toes. So what do you do if you have Rheumatoid arthritis affecting your feet? Your Rheumatologist or family physician will send you to foot expert to evaluate your foot alignment and function. A Canadian Certified Pedorthist is trained in the assessment of lower limb anatomy and biomechanics. We design and manufacture custom foot orthotics and select and modify appropriate footwear to manage foot pain. Rheumatoid arthritic feet usually present with

UBCO teams warming up for upcoming season

Foot care

After a long summer and with fall just around the corner the athletic program at UBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Okanagan campus is starting to heat up with some friendly soccer matches on the UBCO pitch. Both the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer teams engaged in a pair of friendly pre-season games with UBC Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thunderbirds last weekend. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team opened their pre-season exhibition at UBCOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nonis turf field with the match broken into three 30-minute periods due to the heat. Both the Vancouver and Okanagan based teams were still looking at players and used the additional break to get all players a chance at game time and try various combinations. Although the score was unofficial and no score sheet kept it was clear that the Vancouver squad had the upper hand in the friendly, however Claire Paterson the 2011 Canadian Collegiate coach of the year found a lot of positives in the match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a great experience for our team to see how we stack up against a very good CIS

program,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our players had their eyes opened to the pace and physicality of the game at the next level, now we will be working hard to see if we can get there.â&#x20AC;? For the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team the exhibition season will take off as the Heat head to Calgary this weekend to play three matches in two days at the Alberta Cup Tournament. The Heat will face two more CIS squads in the University of Saskatchewan, and University of Alberta as well as fellow CCAA powerhouse Mount Royal University, the first match is Saturday at 8 a.m. PST. The two UBC menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer squads followed the women on the Nonis turf field in Kelowna with a friendly of their own, although the heat of the day had been replaced with long shadows, the men played three 30 minute periods as the women had before them. Dante Zanatta, the new coach for the UBC Heat, needed every opportunity to evaluate players to fill out his squad as the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team will likely not include as many veteran players that the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team will.

Thunderbirds used their strength, size, and speed to dominate the game in the Heatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s half of the field, yet time and time again the various Heat defenders and keepers stymied the Thunderbirds. As in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game no official score was kept, but the Heat created oppor-

tunities and kept pressure on the Thunderbirds for a good portion of the 90 minutes. This weekend the

â&#x2013;ź JUNIOR B HOCKEY

Chiefs open training camp Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

After working out the kinks in its first year in operation, the Kelowna Chiefs junior B hockey franchise is looking forward to smoother sailing as year two of junior B hockey in Rutland gets going early next week. The Chiefs, who were 26-21-1-2 and won a first round KIJHL playoff series before being eliminated in the second round last season, open their training camp Monday at Rutland Arena. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first year of basically anything is a steep learning curve so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really optimistic this year as far as what we can accomplish,â&#x20AC;? said head coach Ken Andrusiak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year we had some growing pains as far as being the new team in town. We had a lot to learn about off the ice on how to run a team. On the ice our record was fine and a lot of people told me how good our team was but I nev-

er felt we met my expectations.â&#x20AC;? Those expectations this year include increasing an average fan base from around 300 to over 500 and topping the KIJHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Okanagan Division which features Kelowna, Osoyoos, Princeton and Penticton. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think our goal is to win (the league) and we have to be asking ourselves right from camp if the lineup is good enough to win,â&#x20AC;? said Andrusiak. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we asked ourselves that last year. It was more getting our feet wet. This year I think we can challenge. I think we can definitely win our division and then go from there.â&#x20AC;? On the ice the Chiefs will lean on a steady contingent of Kelowna players that are back for a second season. Leading scorer Landon Andrusiak and fellow 20-year-old Dane Rupert will return to the lineup as will Kyle Clerke, Mark MacDougall, PJ Lawler and Brett Naka. Off the ice the Chiefs

will be looking to increase crowds as well as corporate support. Andrusiak says Rutland will continue to be a key area for the team, which plays out of the Rutland West arena with most of its student athletes attending Rutland Senior Secondary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rutland has been great,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have great support from the Rutland community, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the business community or volunteers, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been very happy with that.â&#x20AC;? The Chiefs training camp takes place from Monday until Wednesday, concluding with an intrasquad game at 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday. Kelowna hosts North Okanagan on Sept. 2 in its first exhibition game while the KIJHL regular season starts Sept. 16 when the Chiefs host Spokane. The Chiefs have a redesigned web site this year at www.kelownachiefs.com for more news and information. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

THE B.C. CHAMPION KTown Kleenup savour their victory, after a successful defence of their provincial master women’s title.

Local women defend B.C. title A Kelowna ladies masters slopitch team cleaned up for the second straight year, defending its title of the top masters women’s team in the province. The Prospera Credit Union KTown KleenUp won the 2011 Masters Provincials

in Chilliwack last weekend, winning all of its games en route to the championship. It was the second straight year that the Kelowna team won the event without losing a game. “We’re really proud to once again be the num-

ber one masters team in the province,” said player Cindy Draper. “It was thrilling to go undefeated again and hold onto last year’s title of best in the province for ladies 35 and over.” Laurie Joseph was named team MVP. With the win, KTown

Kleenup qualifies for the 2012 National Masters Championships that will be held in Kelowna, August 2012. The team says a special thank you to its sponsors Prospera Credit Union, Prospera Place and KTown KleenUp.

The Mission Sports Fields will be a busy place this weekend as the host site for more than 2,000 Indo-Canadians who will be participating in a multisport tournament. The Okanagan’s Indo-Canadian community is holding its 2011 Annual Sports tournament this Saturday and Sunday. Approximately 2,000 competitors from across Canada as well as some from as far away as India will be in Kelowna to take part. Organizer Phillip Patara says there is plenty to do for the entire family at the event. “This is more than a sporting event,” said Patara. “It is also open to families. There will be booths set up and games for children as well.” Approximately 3,000 spectators are expected at the two day event. People will see both men and women competing in track and field events. The highlight of the tournament is a ancient Indian game called Kabaddi, an attack game that dates back more than 4,000 years.

MLA’s report: Triathlon is a race we should all get behind

ast weekend, I had the privilege of handing out awards at the PushorMitchell Apple Triathlon. It was great to meet some of the incredibly talented athletes and congratulate them on their performances. But of all the images I’ll take away from the weekend, the one that struck me most was the streets—packed not just with runners and cyclists, but cars. With cars, unlike with

Ben Stewart people, you can always tell where they’ve come from. And at the Apple

Triathlon, I was struck by the license plates from all over the country. They reflected a group of competitors and spectators from across the country who came to Kelowna for the event. It’s difficult to say just how many visitors come just for the triathlon—but judging from the packed streets and stands, it certainly attracted quite a few. This is important, as tourism continues to be a major economic driver in

the Kelowna area. An estimated 1.2 million annual visitors account for $610 million of economic activity and some 9,800 jobs. Certainly, many of them come to enjoy the lake and climate—but a great many come for specific events, and it’s important that we continue to support them. Last weekend, it wasn’t hard to see why they chose to visit us. The Apple Triathlon is a truly world-class sporting event

Public Notice

in which novices and elite athletes are equally welcome. Competitors ranged from 17 to 77 years old—I will remember one 74-year old Manitoban competitor in particular for years to come. Unfortunately, 2011 marked an end of sorts, as the Canadian championships in triathlon move to Edmonton. And while they’ll do a great job, and I understand why national championship events move around the coun-

try, I can’t help but wish it would stay. It’s such a great event. Apparently Triathlon Canada agrees—they have encouraged Richard Montgomery and the Kelowna Apple Triathlon Society to consider holding a world championship event. I hope they do, and that the provincial government can continue to find ways to support it. This year, we worked with KATS to obtain community gaming grant funding,

and they received $28,000 for their youth athletes program. It’s sometimes difficult to manage continuing expectations of funding, but I feel KATS and the triathlon are well worth supporting. Not just as a great family event, but as an investment into one of the Okanagan and B.C.’s most significant industries—tourism. Ben Stewart is the Liberal MLA for WestsideKelowna.

Nature is an amenity at four unique lodges in Australia Mary Ellen Botter CONTRIBUTOR

Wallabies on the runway. Fur seals on the shore. Champagne in the mini-bar. Gourmet with a view. Australian wilderness can be as wild as you want it, or not, at four resorts in settings that capture essential Oz: The bush of the tropical north where seasons are two: wet and dry.

from a prehistoric sea. Wildman Wilderness Lodge Humpty Doo, Northern Territory I surprise myself, waking at 4:30 a.m., just as I do in Dallas—a half-world east of this classy camp that opened in April in tropical northern Australia. My reward is beauty, but not silence. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of my modernistic cabin, unseen birds chuck-chuck, cackle and squeal in the predawn. Planets beam over my shoulder as bright as Boy Scout flashlights with fresh batteries. Moonlight traces gum trees’ shadows on the red ground and rimes the distant clouds, white lace on velvet. This is the tranquility that draws people to

Wildman, an eco-resort west of famed-for-crocs Kakadu National Park. The 10 cabins that face a grassy airstrip are recycled, brought here by road train from a resort 1,800 miles away that failed, too outback for easy access. Wildman, on the other hand, is barely two hours by good road from Darwin. Small planes and helicopters can set down on the runway, though not today. The just-ended wet season has left it too soggy for safe landings. That’s fine with the wildlife. The open ground is a banquet table for agile wallabies and sulphurcrested cockatoos. Wildman is strangely shaped, a ribbon of land about 100 yards wide and a mile long sand-

Australian outback like a ‘big-sky land of off-leash nature’ Australia from A29 plain fringing Wildman, lead a quad-bike excursion in parkland or board early-risers on a boat to cruise among nesting and flying birds, waterlilies, wild pigs, water buffalo and a croc with an amber gaze. Meals are generous and open air when insects don’t interfere. The huge breakfast could hold you all the way to the threecourse dinner, which you should hope will include barramundi, the tender, sweet favorite fish in the Top End. Under the cabin’s double roof (shade upon shade in this hot region), naps come easily and nighttime dreams even more quickly. In this bigsky land of off-leash nature, stress-free is your souvenir.

ENTERTAINMENT ▼ THE BACKYARDIGANS

Diversity is name of the game for kids show composer Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

If it weren’t for the Backyardigans, Evan Lurie might never have written Italian opera music. As the composer for the cartoon characters’ ever-changing soundtrack, Lurie is one half of the creative genius that devised five new songs for each episode of the show, in a new genre every episode. “It kept the music moving and it made the music always different,” he said by way of explaining the need to set such a daunting task. From Balalaika Orchestra, a Russian string instrument, to Afropop, township jive, and the ever popular Klezmer music, used for the characters’ climb up the mountain, the show was seemingly insatiable, he said. “Most television shows write a complete score and then start to reuse music, but because the genre changed with every episode, that wasn’t an option,” said Lurie. Thankfully, his cocomposer, Douglas Wieselman, was the perfect complement. Only once, to his recollection, did the pair start working on the same song. They would get the list of songs needed, and invariably, Lurie would start working out melodies for two or three themes only to find Wie-

selman had started on the remainder. Altogether, the pair churned through 78 musical genres in their time with the goofy characters—an impressive body of work for any composer, let alone one tied to two-week timelines—it seemed there

was never enough for the storylines. “It did get harder and harder to do a clever pairing because we didn’t want to redo things,” Lurie recalled in an interview this week. An early reggae episode, for example, included a ska tune they later wished could have been saved for an all ska episode—ska was the precursor to both rocksteady and reggae. Needless to say, the work required anything but dumbing down the music for kids. To the contrary, the one-time

member of The Lounge Lizards, an unconventional jazz group known for its genre-mixing style, Lurie said he never intended to write for the kids network Nickelodeon, or its spinoff Nick Jr., but now counts the work among his chief accomplishments. He connected with this show through its cre-

ator Janis Burgess, who knew he had already worked on animated productions, like Nick Jr.’s series Oswald, and said the show ended up teaching him far more than he anticipated, even about how to do business. “Doing that many recording sessions makes you really good at getting into the studio and getting

the job done,” he said. He learned to get his musicians into the studio at 10:30 a.m., as anything scheduled for 10 a.m. meant paying people to drink coffee for half an hour first. And he learned that each collection of tunes would take an immense amount of research. “It’s pretty easy to

write a reggae song, maybe even two, but once you need three, you have to listen to some music in order not to write another reggae that sounds exactly like the first two,” he explained. And if there was a pitfall to the plan, it was that all of the research eventually unearthed the similarities in the music. J-pop, or Japanese pop, is basically American candypop once the Japanese language is stripped off, he pointed out, so they couldn’t really use it. From Bollywood to Rockabilly, they broke down the music, composing for episodes like the psychedelic soul show and the parliament funkadelic episode. And yet the most rewarding result was

simply hearing that the mermaid lullaby—written Johnny Cash-style— is used to sing at least one mom’s child to sleep at night. You can hear a selection of the creative twists and turns the Backyardigans’ composers took when the stage production hits town next month.

(Linguine with clams) “Another classic Italian pasta dish that just about everyone loves. Quite simple to make so just have a little confidence in yourself and you’ll see how easy this really is. “Personally I find vongole to go best with an aglio olio sauce (garlic and oil toss) that is to say—no sauce. It also goes very well with a tomato sauce and, yes, even with a cream sauce. You choose but try this way first. It’s not about the sauce in this pasta. It’s about the flavours you create and sometimes a sauce can cover up those wonderful flavoors this pasta generates” —Ricardo. What you need: Serves 2 250g (1/2 pkg) linguine cooked al dente 18-20 fresh manila clams 2oz. white wine 8oz. can clam meat 1tsp garlic or 2 cloves roasted garlic sliced thin 1tbs vegetable oil

Volkswagen Touareg a go-anywhere luxury SUV Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

THE TDI clean diesel comes at a $4,000 premium over the gasoline version of the Touareg, but sales for the 2011 model year are almost 50/50 (gasoline/diesel), according to Volkswagen Canada.

All automotive manufacturers are going green these days, embracing new technology that makes their vehicles more fuel-efficient and at the same time more environmentally friendly. Many, like Toyota and Lexus, have travelled the gas-electric hybrid route, while Volkswagen has taken a different path by putting most of its energies into TDI clean diesel technology. No one can say for certain which is the best way to go, but both manufacturers are achieving results— cleaner vehicles

and better fuel economy— so who can argue. One of the best examples of Volkswagen’s clean diesel technology is found in the 2011 Touareg TDI, a full-size sport utility vehicle featuring 3.0-litre turbocharged diesel engine that makes 225 hp and an amazing 406 lb/ft of torque. This is a big vehicle that weighs 2,256 kg (4,963 lb) and yet it achieves a Natural Resources Canada fuel economy rating of 11.1L/100 km (25 mpg) city and 7.0L/100 km (40 mpg) highway. See VW B2

No wonder half of the Touaregs sold in Canada are diesels. The Touareg for 2011 is also offered with a 3.6-litre 24 valve direct injection V6 gasoline engine, producing 280 hp and 265 lb/ft of torque. With the V6, the Touareg achieves a fuel economy rating of 12.3L/100 km city and 8.8L/100 km highway. It uses premium unleaded fuel. Volkswagen also offers a gas-electric hybrid Touareg in the U.S., however; VW Canada has chosen not to bring it in here. For 2011, the Touareg is again offered in three trim lines— Comfortline, Highline and Execline with prices starting at $53,190 for the TDI version, $48,400 with the gasoline engine. That’s a hefty price to pay for any vehicle, but with the Touareg you’re getting a luxury SUV that is a match with the best on the market. The wood-trimmed interior is among the nicest available and the soft, plush leather seats are extremely comfortable and at the same time supportive. Even after a long trip in the Touareg, you still feel refreshed and relaxed, unlike some vehicles where you can’t wait to get out to stretch and walk around for a while. In Comfortline trim,

the Touareg comes with features like 18-inch alloy wheels, Bluetooth phone connectivity, dual zone electronic climate control and Sirius satellite radio. Moving up to the Highline model adds 12way power front seats with power lumbar support, leather seats, panoramic power sunroof, driver’s seat and outside mirror memory settings and keyless access with start/stop button. My tester was a toptier Execline TDI with a beautiful saddle brown Vienna leather interior and Deep Black exterior. With an optional towing hitch ($705), the vehicle priced out at $63,840 plus freight and PDI of $1,580. The Execline adds 20-inch alloys, bi-xenon headlights with LED technology, an upgraded 620-watt Dynaudio surround sound audio system with 12 speakers, rearview camera and sport suspension. All Touaregs come with 4MOTION, a fulltime all-wheel drive system that can handle the worst roads you can throw at it, making the Touareg a great choice for cottagers. Volkswagen bills its 3.0-litre TDI as one of the cleanest diesels on the planet, thanks to its ability to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 90 per cent. To do this, a SelectSee VW B5

THE NEW 2012 Honda Gold Wing GL1800AD (with airbag), seen here on the way to Newfoundland, resplendent in Ultra Metallic Blue and featuring a new cosmetic makeover, suspension upgrades and a list of other refinements added this year maintains its legacy as the ultimate long distance tourer.

STK#17887

The plan was simple but audacious—we would ride The Rock. We would head east, motoring to the Maritimes before catching a ferry for a leisurely week of riding the edges of Newfoundland. The capper for this near-three-week planned adventure was that we would be doing the trip on board a motorcycle long regarded as the king of touring bikes—a new 2012 Honda Gold Wing. We arrived at Honda Canada with bags and helmets in hand. My wife Mary and I have toured on Gold Wings before, so we knew what to pack. The twaiting bike was blue, a striking shade of blue, recognizable as a top-of-theline GL1800AD model with airbag listing at $30,999 ($500 less than last year). The GL1800AL version without the airbag comes in red ($29,999). The airbag, while hardly news, remains unique to Honda but it, along with Tire Pressure Management and the Nav system, make for a very short list of past changes made to a model that has, for the most part, been carried-over for the past fdecade. So I was glad to note new modifications to the 2012 model. Some Gold Wing devotees expected a more radical re-do this year, considering the shift of production to Japan in 2009 and the upstart challenge of a new BMW K1600 series. But the limited list of tweaks and adjustments seem more evolutionary than revolutionary. The 2012 Gold Wing debuts a two-tone treatment with silver metallic panels contrasting the body colour, separated by black plastics and new diagonal styling lines along the length of the bike. There’s some argument about the new look, good or bad, but during our trip I would get smiles and thumbs-up from the Gold Wing faithful. You can make up your own mind with a side-by-side comparison of 2010 and 2012 models on Honda Canada’s website, but, to me, the 2012 styling looks less chunky, more cohesive as your eye follows the main character line stretching from under the headlight to the new

tapered tip of the revised hardbags. That new, pointed pannier shape adds a few litres of extra room to the stretched sidecases, increasing overall storage capacity to more than 150 litres, including the trunk (or top case). Other changes? The tail light assembly was restyled to match the sharper-edged rear design. The fascia is a touch wider and was remoulded for better lower leg wind protection, although my memory is not sharp enough to note any marked difference. I set the suspension preload to a midpoint between comfort and handling for our two-up tour, but the overall setup has been revised for sharper response and better road feel. New water-repellant urethane seats feel plusher and the wheels are now clear-coated for easier cleaning. From the saddle, everything looks about the same. The cockpit still fronts more buttons than a Boeing and the instrument layout looks comfortingly familiar or increasingly dated, depending on your point of view. For 2012, there have been changes to the electronics, with a brighter, smarter Nav display featuring lane guidance and interface abilities with home computer trip planning. A more powerful SRS CS Auto surroundsound system allows you to control your trunkmounted iPod from the cockpit. I don’t normally need music on a motorcycle but it’s nice to have your personal playlist on longer highway runs, before the brain-dead blahs set in. Or even as a soundtrack to a nice winding road. All these minor changes build on a long list of inherent features that have made the Gold Wing a touring bike legend—the power, reliability, handling, luggage utility, wind and weather protection and the comforts courtesy of cruise control, foot vent heaters, heated grips and heated seats. We escaped Ontario with single-minded purpose, blasted down the 401, rattled a few fillings on the cobblestones of Montreal’s old VilleMarie and met up with Mary’s brother Ed and

The rear seats have a heat feature on upperend trim models. If cargo space is an issue in your SUV, the Touareg has 908 litres (32.1 cu ft) with the rear seats up and a whopping 2,007 litres (70.9 cu ft) with the seats folded. While the price tag of my tester was a jaw-drop-

ping $63,840 plus freight and PDI of $1,580, the Touareg is among the best luxury SUVs on the market, sharing its DNA with the Porsche Cayenne. So if you’re shopping the Lexus RX 350, Infiniti FX, Mercedes ML350 Bluetec and the like, be sure to give the Touareg a go, particularly in TDI form. I think you’ll be impressed.

ive Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalytic converter is used. The oxidation catalytic converter and a particulate filter are integrated into the emissions system. A solution called AdBlue is then injected into the system to treat the exhaust. It is made up of water and urea and has to be replenished by the dealer every 15,000 km, although actual usage will depend on how hard you push the vehicle. If the vehicle runs out of AdBlue it will not start, so Touareg TDI owners can buy small containers of the solution to top up the tank located under the spare tire, if needed. Three warnings are given to drivers to alert them when AdBlue is low. While some people may find the need to refill the AdBlue tank a turnoff, the fact remains that this new breed of diesel engines is head and shoulders better than the ones they are replacing. If all you remember are the smelly diesel engines of old, you’ll be amazed at how clean and quiet these new ones are. If fact, the only smell you’ll really have to contend with is when you’re refilling them at the diesel pumps. While the TDI is more expensive, than the gasoline version you can travel up to 1,200 km on a single tank and that is benefit for anyone doing lots of longdistance driving like backand-forth to the cottage on the weekend. On the highway, the Touareg is smooth and quiet. Volkswagen estimates a 0-100 km/h time of 7.7 seconds for the

3.6-litre and 8.2 seconds for the 3.0L TDI. Of course where the TDI shines is in the torque department so you have the feeling of power to spare. The eight-speed automatic transmission is slick and smooth with the vehicle never seeming to be searching for the right gear. Both engines have a tow rating of 3,500 kg (7,700 lb) so you can pull a big boat or travel trailer if needed. The 60-40 split folding rear seats slide 160

I know that no matter what form a future Honda Gold Wing may take, it will continue to stress the performance, the engineering and the bulletproof reliability that has made the Gold Wing a benchmark in the touring class. And I also know that Newfoundland will still be there in a year or two.

Usually humming along at its 3,000 rpm sweet spot in fifth gear overdrive at highway speed, the Gold Wing earned an overall fuel economy average of just over 5.4L/100km. When I got home past the last gap of urban nuttiness and after 5000 km, I fell to my knees beside the bike. Okay, that was me clowning around, but the sentiment was real. There may be a future generation Gold Wing in the works. Rumours abound about a possible 2.0-litre engine, VFRstyle double clutch transmission or a DN-01 type of automatic. Honda may well be struggling with the iconic challenge of appealing to new customers while appeasing the old, but their design studios are notori-

dering if they made the right decision. Perhaps the minivan design has lost a bit of its cachet, but when you get right down to it, the Orlando can be viewed as one of the new versions of the minivan like the Mazda5, Kia Rondo and Scion Xb. For some reason, GM doesn’t mention the hotselling Dodge Journey as a competitor, but it certainly would draw the interest of anyone in this market. General Motors looks at young families as the primary target buyers for the Orlando and it’s easy to see why. Families can benefit from the versatility that this vehicle offers. Combine that with the generous amount of

The Orlando is based on the same platform as the compact Cruze sedan, and unlike the Canadianbuilt Chevrolet Equinox mid size crossover SUV, it comes in only front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive is not available and there is only one engine choice, the same engine as in the Equinox.

Already on sale in Europe and soon to be sold in several markets around the world (except the U.S), the Orlando is not actually classified as a minivan, but a multipurpose vehicle (MPV), a segment that GM Canada says is undeveloped in North America. While the Americans were initially in on the Orlando program, they eventually dropped out leaving GM Canada to go it alone. With gas prices spiking this summer, one wonders if GM execs in the U.S. are now doing a bit of head scratching, won-

GM claims best fuel economy in Orlando’s market Orlando from B6 it is combined with either a six-speed manual or sixspeed automatic transmistsion. GM says the Orlando has the best fuel economy of any seven-passenger non-hybrid vehicle on the market. With a manual transmission, Natural Resources Canada fuel numbers are 10.1L/100 km (28 mpg) city and 6.7L/100 km (42 mpg) highway. With the automatic transmission, fuel economy ratings are 10.6L/100 km (27 mpg) and 6.9L/100 km (41 mpg) highway. On the outside, the Orlando doesn’t set any styling trends, but after all, it is difficult to do much when you want to toss in three rows of seats and get k the maximum amount of space on a compact platform. The front end has a muscular look to it with its “wheels out, body in” stance and it has a fairly low roofline with, what GM calls a “crossoverstyled silhouette.” Inside is where the Orlando shines with three row, theatre-styled tiered seating and floor heating ducts to both the second and third rows. In all, there are 16 different seating combinations. The 60/40 split second-row seats tumble down easily into the floor for access to the third row with the touch of a latch on the top of the seats. The third-row seats are split 50/50 and fold flat into the floor as the headrest automatically tucks itself in when the seat is folded down. Although this is one of the most spacious third rows in the segment, it is really meant for children or very short trips with adults aboard in the aft section. I managed to get my six-foot frame in one of the back seats, but I wouldn’t want to spend much time there. Nevertheless, if you have the occasional need to transport extra passengers to school or the soccer pitch, the third row will come in awfully handy. If you need to keep your eye on them, there is a rear child view mirror and rear child security door locks. But most times, the

third row will be folded down because there is little luggage space behind it with the seats upright. With the seats folded, the load floor is low and flat, making it easy to throw in grocery bags and the like. There is 1,594 litres of cargo space behind the front seats with the second and third rows folded down. The interior is plain, but not uninviting with the use of some bright accent trim to spark things up a bit. It took me a while to get a comfy position in the driver’s seat, but once settled in, I found the ride and seating to be more than adequate, while the steering was light enough for easy maneuvering in tight parking spaces. During our test drive from Toronto to cottage country north into Haliburton and Muskoka and back, the Orlando proved to be very quiet for the most part. On hard acceleration, the noise level ramps up, but otherwise the cabin is a quiet place to be thanks to underbody torsional stiffness and extensive use of sound baffles in the A, C and D pillars. I’m sure a bit more horsepower would be welcome with a full load of passengers on board (there were only two of us inside during our media drive) but in the interests of fuel economy I can see why the General stuck to its tried and true 2.4-litre engine, one of Ward’s 2010 award winners. On the safety front, families want to feel secure in their vehicles and the Orlando doesn’t disappoint. Standard features include four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, panic brake assist and cornering brake control. Also included are stability control, traction control, six airbags and standard OnStar. For added peace of mind, the Orlando gets the Euro NCAP 5 Star safety rating as one of the topscoring vehicles in Europe in 2011. Families will love the convenience features in the cabin including two large cup holders built into the centre console, map and bottle holders in the SeeOrlando B8

of well-planted highway stability. The V-Strom 650 is more nimble, slightly lower in the seat and centre of gravity. It offers better fuel economy and will also save you about $2,600 in initial outlay, along with a 16 kg saving in curb weight mass. The 645 cc V-Twin engine runs quietly, almost unheard at highway speed and the tranny snicks sweetly through six gears. I got the bike fresh out of the box with barely a dozen klicks on the clock so rating fuel efficiency seems somewhat unfair. Keeping that in mind I rode for 360 km before filling, for a combined fuel economy average of 4.75L/100km.

el names. “Oh, the V-Strom? Sure,” I answered quickly. The V-Strom— “V” for its V-Twin engine and “Strom”, from German, for “stream” or “current”—crosses all kinds of categories. You can consider it an entry-level into bike, an everyday commuter, a sport enduro tourer, or all of the above. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to ride a bike like this. It is what I consider an “eventual” bike. Meaning that, eventually, some riders might come to their senses and forego the sportbike cramped crouch or the ape-hangered idiocy of overpowered cruisers for a simpler, agreeable and user-friendly motorcycle, offering standard seating accommodation, middleweight maneuverability, good ground clearance, dependable and economical V-Twin power, some degree of wind and weather protection, a long range fuel supply and a list of available accessories that allows for a blend of broad-based applications and versatility. And the V-Strom 650A (“A” for ABS), affectionately known as the “Wee-Strom”, is a good example of that kind of common sense practicality, designed as a smaller displacement follow-up to its bigger brother the VStrom 1000 (or DL1000). The V-Strom 1000 offers more oomph, a wider range of one-litre, two-up touring power and a sense

CHUBB, JOYCE MAY

(Nee Richardson) On June 12, 2011 at the age of 91 years, Joyce Chubb passed away quietly in Kelowna, BC. She is lovingly remembered by her brother and many nieces & nephews. Joyce became known affectionately to all as “A.J.” Joyce was born in Calgary, Alberta on May 29, 1920. She was predeceased by her parents Edwin and Violet Richardson, husband Richard Chubb, and sister Gwendolynne Fouty. She is survived by her only brother Stuart Richardson. Joyce moved to Victoria in 1945 and married Richard Chubb in 1953. They then moved to Vancouver in 1955 but cancer claimed his life in 1962. Joyce began working for the Federal Department of Fisheries and stayed with them until retiring in 1987. After 33 years in Vancouver, Joyce made the move to Kelowna in 2008 where she thouroughly enjoyed her last years. Joyce was an accomplished pianist and organist obtaining diplomas as an Associate of the Toronto Conservatory of Music, the London Royal Society of Music and the American Guild of Organists. Joyce was organist at St. Michael & All Saints Anglican Church in Calgary, served as assistant organist at St. John’s Church in Victoria and continued playing organ at various Anglican and United Churches in Vancouver. Joyce loved to travel and travelled extensively including Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and many parts of North America. She was a faithful member of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority for more than 50 years, serving in every ofﬁce. A memorial service will be held in St. Michael and All Angels Cathedral Church, 608 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna on Saturday, September 3, 2011 at 11 am. Donations may be made to the Site Developement Fund of St. Michael’s & All Angels.

WEDGE, PAUL DRAYTON 1932 – 2011

Paul Wedge passed away peacefully with his family by his side on August 20th, 2011. Paul lived his life with determination and zest. He had a wonderful sense of humour and leaves behind many dear friends. Paul was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1932. During his late teens he and his family moved to North Vancouver. Paul later built the family home in South Burnaby overlooking Deer Lake. Many celebrations and dinners were held there. Paul was loved dearly by his family. He lived, loved and laughed with his soul mate, Charlotte Anne for 36 years. Paul loved skiing into his 70’s and enjoyed the outdoors, golfing, camping, fishing, walking in the forests and canoed the Bowron Lakes with Charlotte. Fascinated by machinery, architecture and engineering he designed and built many things. Paul built numerous hand-split granite rock walls and chimneys. He created large mechanical kinetic displays for Expo 86 and built a business, P Wedge Co. Ltd. His company provided aviation windsock assemblies that are installed all around the world (now carried on by his son). An architect at heart, Paul designed and built houses as well as an office building. Paul had a great passion for music, travel and art. He began painting in the 1990’s and produced many wonderful paintings. He will be sadly missed by all his loving children: Larry, Karen (Allan), Paula (Martin), Sally (Peter), Gordon (Sally), Lynn (Wayne) and Valerie. He also leaves behind 10 grandchildren: Jason, Luke, Carly, Derek, Matthew, Alexa, Sarah, Kody, Veronica, Darian and great grandson Alton. We welcome all Paul’s friends and family to attend a celebration of Paul’s life. The celebration will be held at 12:30 PM on Saturday, September 10th, 2011 at First Memorial Funeral Services, 1211 Sutherland Avenue, Kelowna, BC. A beautiful life came to a sudden end He died as he lived – everyone’s friend. He was always thoughtful, loving and kind What a precious memory he left behind. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com. Arrangements in care of First Memorial Funeral Services (250) 762-2299.

showcase W OF PRIME INTEREST

Local experts weigh in on where interest rates are headed

n our efforts to give insight into what types of questions we get, we’ll answer them as briefly as possible. Where do we think interest rates are headed? The world’s financial markets are in an upheaval. Stock markets are volatile and there are many of the European countries on the brink of not being able to pay their bills.

The Americans have stated, based on what’s happening there, they will be holding tough on their interest rate policy until 2013. The global economies are very fragile, to say the least, which would appear to hold interest rates in Canada at bay for the foreseeable future. So, what does that mean for mortgage rates? It’s very difficult to say what will happen as what we hear in the media

can change rapidly from day to day. That makes it difficult for anyone to hazard a guess as to what to do with their mortgages coming up for renewal, refinancing or purchasing that home. What we know for sure is mortgage interest rates are historically low and will keep those monthly mortgage payments down.

mortgage or let the interest rate “float”? This is probably one the toughest questions to answer but must be geared to your needs and future plans. Always remember, the lowest rate may not always be the best for you. You have to look at the conditions for payout, portability and if the payments fit within your monthly financial budget. Do you like to have peace of mind every

Should I lock in my

month and not have to worry about fluctuating payments? If so, you may wish to lock in an interest rate for a period of five years or longer. If you are of the opinion our interest rates will stay low for a period of time you may wish to have a mortgage in a closed variable rate option or a credit line. With these last two options you do have the availability to “lock in” the full amount or a portion into a guaranteed rate, closed mortgage, generally without penalty. There are financial institutions that have a registered mortgage that enable you to have more than one component under the mortgage. For example, if you are financing a mortgage of $300,000. you

may have a five-year closed mortgage for $100,000., a second component in a credit line for $100,000 and an investment loan for the remaining $100,000. This type of mortgage is very flexible and you pay the legal fees at the initial mortgage set up and generally don’t have to pay future legal fees but possibly only pay for an updated appraisal. How can I pay my mortgage off faster? There are financial institutions we deal with that allow you to pay up to 25 per cent annually a further allowable 25 per cent payment increase annually. You also have the options to pay accelerated weekly and bi-weekly payments to fit your pay

periods for easier budgeting. This would allow you to pay off your mortgage at a faster pace and save you thousands in interest costs over the life of the mortgage. Another option is to set your payments higher than the required payment which will automatically shorten the amortization. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals and welcome your questions.

4350 Ponderosa Dr. Peachland, BC

It is, perhaps, overdoing the recipe analogy to say that your compost “cooks,” but actively metabolizing bacteria give off heat, causing your compost pile to heat up. Shiner has been recording the temperatures of his compost pile since he began composting, much in the way that some gardeners record planting dates, rain and harvest dates. On his first day of composting, Shiner’s compost went from 65 degrees to 135 degrees, a sign that good things were happening to his heap. The second day, the temperature was up to 140 degrees. On the third day, the temperature had dropped some, so he turned it, giving it a shot of air and eventually getting things “cooking” again. Compost that is frequently watered and aerated can be ready to use as flower-bed mulch in as little as three weeks, though it won’t be near to being fully decomposed at that point. Lorrie Anderle, recycling coordinator for the city of Arlington, Texas, says that would-be composters don’t need to take such an active approach to composting. “Cold composting,” or “the lazy man’s composting” as it’s

called at our house, involves little more than heaping your yard scraps in an out-of-the way pile, letting the sprinkler or the skies water it, and turning the compost heap every month or so. It could take a year or more to get usable dirt with this passive method, but it will eventually decompose to a nice, organic-rich humus to work into your garden soil or to sprinkle on your lawn to improve the “tilth,” or crumbliness, of your soil.

OTHER INGREDIENTS

While yard scraps will probably make up the bulk of your compost, many people incorporate other organic waste items. So many items can be composted, it’s easier to say what shouldn’t go into your compost pile than to list the shoulds, so here’s a list of no-no’s. Do not put in your compost pile: • Meat, fat or dairy products. These items create an odor that attracts pests like raccoons and rats. • Noxious weeds and seeds of difficult weeds, such as nut sedge, that you are worried about spreading. • Diseased plants. • Pet poop. Kitchen scraps, such as vegetable peelings and overripe fruit, can be added to your compost, and, since they are quite wet, they can speed up decomposition. One important caveat: If you are going to add kitchen scraps, be

sure to bury them under about 6 inches of yardwaste material to avoid attracting pests, Anderle says. Other possible mixins include sawdust and coffee grounds (a good source of nitrogen, according to “The Complete Compost Gardening Guide” by Barbara Pleasant). Most anything that is made from plant materials and can be torn or cut into small bits will work. Butch Singh, of Arlington, composts his phone books.

BIN THERE

Where you should park your compost pile is probably your next question. If you live on acreage or can screen off a far corner of your yard with bushes, you might choose to just build a compost pile on the ground, but most urban and suburban dwellers want to keep their compost in a bin. Bins range in price from homemade (often the most eco-friendly option) to about $300. Consider convenience, durability, appearance and price when you shop for a bin, Shiner says. One he likes is the Earth Machine, a black plastic bin that looks a bit like Darth Vader’s helmet. Shiner likes it because it’s rodent-proof, durable and moderately priced. Each year the Central Okanagan Regional District holds a sale of composters that sell for a greatly reduced price.

showcase W ENCLAVE

New development provides affordable Mission living near Okanagan Lake Enclave from B24 Answer: The Lower Mission district has always been highly desired by residents of the Okanagan. Up until now many home buyers have been unsuccessful at finding affordable housing so close to the lake. Enclave has allowed just this. Our affordable, quality homes make living in the Mission possible

for many first time home buyers, down sizers, empty nesters and young families. We have also seen interest from people who have previously lived in this great neighbourhood and have found Enclave be a great downsize property that allows them to stay and enjoy all they’ve come to love about life in the Lower Mission. The blend of inter-

ested buyers just further supports what we have known all along, Enclave’s location and design has something for everyone. Question: What are your most home popular plans at Enclave and why? Answer: A great deal of thought and creativity was dedicated to the design and layout of each of

our units to ensure each unit had a welcoming flow and feel. As a result, there is no clear favourite plan. Rather, it is the subtle differences such as the optional fourth bedroom in the A plans that will cause someone to choose one plan over another. Question: What amenities and services do you offer and what are most popular with Enclave buyers? Answer: Enclave’s Central location combined with the natural beauty of its surroundings promotes a sense of wellbeing. With amenities such as schools, parks, flat walking and biking trails, the lake and sport facilities so close one can feel that there is no need to ever leave. The Mission is known for its many charming bouquets— coffee shops and interior decor stores. It is safe to say that you will seldom find yourself without inspiration. It is to no surprise that the Mission continues to grow in its popularity and services offered.

W ENRICH PLANTS

Backyard composting Cathy Frisinger CONTRIBUTOR

If you’re still bagging grass clippings and fallen leaves to be hauled off to the landfill, make the season you declare your independence from the 30-gallon plastic bag. Composting can elimrinate your dependence on chemical fertilizers, improve the quality of your soil, reduce the burden on your community’s landfill and lessen your need for soil amendments and those evil black plastic bags. Mixing finished compost into sandy soil helps it to absorb and retain water, while mixing finished compost into clay soil loosens it up and alrlows in more air. “The U.S. creates 50 percent of the world’s garbage, and more than 65 percent of what we dispose of is organic,” according to Southlake, Texas, master composter Charlie Shiner.

who are hot to rot.

A COMPOST RECIPE

Cakes can be concocted with all kinds of complicated ingredient lists, but every cook knows the basic four are all you really need: sugar, butter, flour and eggs. So it is with turning yard waste into delectable dirt to feed to your garden. Your composting basic four: greens, browns, water and air. Greens: These are organic materials that are high in nitrogen. The weeds you pulled up from your flower bed, the tomato plants that succumbed to the heat, the grass clippings, if you’re not comfortable leaving them on the lawn. (Although leaving your grass clippings on the lawn is an elemental form of “composting.” The clippings decompose and add organic matter back into the soil.) Browns: Browns are high in carbon. Leaves in fall, dead branches cut in small pieces _ carbon sources are abundant, and the optimal carbon/nitro-

gen ratio is about 30-to1, according to Shiner, though there’s no need to get out a calculator. Water: This is necessary for the microorganisms that do the work of decomposition. For optimal decomposition, your compost pile should have the moisture feel of a wrung-out sponge, Shiner says. Too little water, and decomposition slows way down; too much water, and you create an environment where anaerobic bacteria (bacteria that don’t use oxygen) take over. Anaerobes can produce ammonia and sulfur compounds, making for smelly compost. Which brings us to our fourth ingredient ... Air: This is needed to keep those good, aerobic bacteria productive, and the way to incorporate air into your compost is to turn or move it. Turning every three to five days is optimal, and will get you useable dirt in the shortest amount of time. It doesn’t really hurt the ultimate deSee Compost B22

PROJECT OFFICIALS say here is no clear favourite Enclave plan. Rather, it is the subtle differences, such as the optional fourth bedroom in some of the plans, that will cause someone to choose one over another.

W MISSION

Enclave offers its residents plenty of choice Paul Halliday, vice-president of finance for the new Enclave development in the Mission talks about the project and what it has to offer buyers. Question: Briefly give us an overview of the Enclave community. Answer: Enclave is built to be a focal point for gathering, play and relaxation. Strategically built around a welcoming inner courtyard space, Enclave’s intimate collection of 65 town homes is ideally located in the heart of the Lower Mission district

at Lakeshore and Sherwood Roads. The homes of Enclave range in size from 1,400 to just over 1,700 square feet. The current units available range in price from the low $300,000 to the low $400,000. Question: What’s different or unique about Enclave versus other comparable projects in

the Okanagan? Answer: Enclave is a desirable place to live. Built around a lush green inner courtyard, this community has the light and airy feel you’ve come to expect from the Okanagan. Located in the Lower Mission Enclave is close to beaches, schools, shopping and amenities. Quality construction, driveways for each unit and various floor plans to choose from are just a few of the features that make Enclave an ideal place to call home.

Question: Tell us a little about more about the location and the key amenities in the Enclave area. Answer: Location, location, location. That’s Enclave. Enclave’s key location in the Lower Mission has you close to the best the Okanagan has to offer, first being the proximity to the lake. Located only a hop, skip and a jump away from the lake, Enclave is even closer still to amenities such as the local ten-

nis club, Sunshine Market for all your grocery needs and the Minstrel Café and Bar where you can enjoy a wide variety of live music such as folk, roots, jazz, blues and more every weekend. Enclave is an excellent location for young families. With an elementary school within safe walking distance and the Capital News Centre and the H2O Aquatic Centre close by, there are virtually no draw backs. Question: What unique features are in the

homes themselves, and why are these important to your buyers? Answer: Enclave’s designs induce the sense of luxury and relaxation. Professionally appointed homes feature tasteful details including hardwood floors, stone countertops, forced air heating and air conditioning. Our attention to detail is seen throughout the entire home. Our warm inviting kitchen is perfected to the smallest cabinet handle and our well designed

bathrooms are sure to stimulate relaxation. Our exteriors are no exception to our keen eye for design and functionality. Each West Coast Craftsman designed home comes with its own yard, double car garage and extended driveway allowing for convenient parking for guests.
