hat do hot sunny beaches, electro-funk music and pro-mountain bikers have in common? Ordinarily, not much, but somehow when they come together on Kelowna’s sunny shores this weekend, they’ll be part of a winning formula that is not only restoring Kelowna’s reputation as a fun city, but drawing plenty of tourist dollars in the process.
Welcome to Kelowna’s new beach festival: Centre of Gravity, the first festival to give wine tours and triathlons a run for their money in terms of cash-draw in years. At 22,000 tickets sold, this weekend’s event promises a bevy of economic spinoffs for local business, including hotel bookings, restaurant meals, and shopping in the oft-beleaguered downtown core.

NEWS ▼ CENTRE OF GRAVITY
Crowd control always city’s concern for summer events from A1 “Our online ticket company can track where tickets are being purchased and it’s right across Western Canada,” said organizer Scott Emslie, whose figures show only 30 to 40 per cent of the crowd will be from the Okanagan. This is a first in the five-year history of the festival, which began as small, family-friendly and decidedly local event. Its mastermind, Emslie, was once a provolleyball player who successfully turned an athletic build into a round of modelling gigs, posing for the cover of a Harlequin Romance novel and Men’s Health, according his talent agency’s online profile. Centre of Gravity was another means to an end, created as a way to showcase his sport of choice at home before he went on to earn an MBA degree. And when the gates opened on Wet Ape Production’s first event, Volleyfest, there was little to indicate the story would unfold any differently—another tale of local kid does good and leaves. Volleyfest could not have launched in a more dubious climate. The City Park competition was held the same year the ever-popular Wakefest celebration ground to a halt with city officials fearing a riot. The Ontario-based company running Wake-
fest, IMG, had marketed its way to infamy, building up Okanagan Lake as the top summer party in the nation for 16- to 21-year-olds, while stretching local RCMP resources beyond all reasonable limits in the process. As drunk teens careened around Tugboat Bay and Waterfront Park during Wakefest, Kelowna city council told IMG it simply could not return, even after the promoters offered up drastic changes intended to curb the commotion. “I have to tell you, I felt sick at some of the things I saw,” then city councillor Carol Gran said at the time, noting she went home praying the young girls she saw stumbling around drunk made it home safely and were not raped or injured in the process. Yet across the way in City Park, a small team of three or four people managed to achieve success with Volleyfest. The area’s top beach volleyball star, Conrad Leinemann, even brought his 100-km-an-hour serve to the beach after an injury sidelined him from a Russian tournament. “This is really great,” Leinemann told reporters. “I’ve always wanted to play a beach tournament here and have never had the opportunity.” That was music to Emslie’s ears and within a few months he was looking to bring music to other’s ears, fashioning an

SKYWARD reaching dirt bike riders are one of the popular feature attractions at the Centre of Gravity event this weekend at City Park. event that echoed his favourite tour stops. “I took the best elements of events that I personally really liked—but it was never really my intent to run a production company,” he said. During the years he was doing a mechanical engineering degree at the University of Alberta, Emslie noticed the popularity of adrenalin sports was growing. Merging this form of entertainment—motocross, mountain biking and wakeboarding—with the summer beach crowd he had experienced at volleyball tournaments, like Miami’s fashion and volleyball celebration, simply seemed like a good
Scott Emslie mix. The idea to build a festival that focused on the entertainment, rather than a beach party, slowly took shape as Emslie’s organizing team added participatory events, like basketball, to keep the crowd engaged. “The event was built

for the Okanagan, and all the sports we feature are ones that Kelowna does well in,” said Emslie, listing a few names. Steve Romaniuk’s success as a pro-mountain biker, Vernon’s Reagan Sieg in motocross and Kelowna’s Casey Groves, a well-known dirt-jumper and free-rider, became a critical draw, although the music end of the production would ultimately seal Wet Ape’s fate. The production company is now big enough, and trusted enough, to bring in world-class DJs like Deadmau5 and Teisto when its not engaged in the Centre of Gravity planning, and employ a year-round staff.

And yet, ask Emslie what the secret to Wet Ape’s success is and the answer is a bit surprising. While he doesn’t want to get into previous festival debacles too heavily—Wakefest, the Kelowna Regatta riots or the new music event currently floundering in Penticton—he’ll hint at the fact others’ failures may very well have sown the seeds for his success. “We definitely had a lot of hoops to jump. The city always made sure we were taking care of our security plan,” said Emslie. “They were on us.” He’s keenly aware the potential for problems is always on the horizon, but he said its actually easier to put on the show today for an audience of 22,000, having done the leg-work to develop strong relationships and tweak their security approach, than it was when there was only 4,000 in attendance. Growing his organizing team to 15 strong, with a volunteer force of 300, Emslie said he was always conscious not to shape Centre of Gravity as a beach party in marketing campaigns and to target a wider demographic. “If you’re 40 years old at the Centre of Gravity, you don’t feel out of place, whereas at Wakefest you would,” he noted. The formula works. This year, tickets went so quickly half the advertising was pulled in the lead-up. On the eve of the festi-

val, Emslie said he is really only worrying about crowd control, keeping the numbers within reason and their reputation clean. “There’s a community here, a subculture that feel a lot of pride in the festival,” he said. “We want to keep it that way.” And for her part, Mayor Sharon Shepherd said she believes Wet Ape has the right approach to do so. “They started quite small and the organizers worked very closely with city and police to ensure things went smoothly,” she said. “…It’s just the whole approach of being familyoriented, and focused more on participation than something you go watch…It’s been very successful and, hopefully, will continue to be for many years to come.” Calling it the hottest ticket in town this week, Shepherd said she believes many city hall staff have children heading to the event, and she’s pleased after-parties have already been organized so people will have a place to go when doors close. She expects the organizers will likely be back to city hall in the weeks to come, asking what needs improvement, as is the company’s practice. In the world of entertainment events, it’s about as successful as a relationship gets in a city known for its inability to deal with these things.

NEWS ▼ PELLET GUN SHOOTING
Frustrated mom angry at how police described incident Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
The Kelowna mother who raised eyebrows when police reported her children were shooting pellet guns from the car
she was driving, is a bundle of emotions. She’s angry, frustrated, confused and most of all, doubting some of the things she once held to be true. Not only did police
give the wrong details to media sources, she says, but the incident has been “blown out of proportion” as it has circulated through local, provincial and even national news sources. “There’s much worse things happening out
there,” she said. “Before (reporters) write a story, they should get both sides straight,” she said, noting she thought one shot from an airsoft gun was harmless and, until police showed up, barely noteworthy.
“Taking what the police say and going with it, is the wrong thing to do. “Nobody realizes how much damage they’re doing on the other end.” Although she didn’t want to rehash the episode, or even offer up her
name, she said a news report that identified her to the community has embarrassed and hurt her three—not five—children and she’s worried speculation from their peers will continue to cause pain. “I just have no words
to describe this,” she said. “It’s upset all my family, and everybody is sick about it. “They know me and I wouldn’t let this happen.” kmichaels @kelownacapnews.com

Police have not released the name of the motorcyclist, who remains in critical condition at Kelowna General Hospital after undergoing surgery for broken bones and an internal injury. Police say witnesses at the scene indicate the motorcycle was coming at a high rate of speed northbound on Dilworth Drive. Both drivers are from Kelowna. The driver of the GMC Sierra pickup truck involved in the crash is 76 years old. The motorcycle involved is a 2009 KAIS Dirt Bike. Police say the investigation into the accident continues with speed and inexperience of the motorcycle driver cited as possible contributing factors. Police are requesting that anyone who may have witnessed the collision and not yet talked to the police contact Const. Wellwood at 250-9805353.

Mural invokes local generosity Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna residents dug deep into their pockets when the Portraits of Honour tour stopped by Wednesday afternoon. “We were hoping to raise $5,000, but we brought in $5,500,” said Byron Robar, president of the Kelowna Kinsmen Club that hosted the local leg of the event. “It was way more than we expected.” The portraits of 157 Canadian casualties in the Afghanistan mission prompted a lot of emotion from the 400 men and women who filed by the display. “What really got me was all the
guys who came off the stairs with tears in their eyes,” he said. “It’s understandable…it was about honouring the people who are keeping Canada the way it is, and their loss.” Artist Dave Sopha thought of making the mural two and a half years ago when he was watching a news broadcast about Afghanistan. “Then, Dec. 5, 2008, I read that 100 Canadian troops had been lost in Afghanistan…I was happy (my nephew) wasn’t one of them, but I realized I had 100 postage-sized faces looking at me and they all had someone missing them,” he told the crowd who gathered Wednesday. On a canvas that stretches 10 feet tall by 40 feet wide, Sopha spent
6,500 hours recreating the faces of 155 Canadian soldiers, sailors and aircrew who had lost their lives in Afghanistan. The mural is touring across Canada in a specialized mobile display trailer, and organizers expect to raise more than $1.5 million, which will go to the Military Families Fund. That fund was established in April 2007, by Canada’s former Chief of Defence Staff Rick Hillier, to assist families of the fallen and the thousands of military personnel who return home with physical or emotional injuries.

in low-income tax credits and grants, the B.C. HST would mean a net $320 tax increase. After the B.C. government announced it would reduce the HST rate to 11 per cent next year and 10 per cent in 2014, Murrell updated his calculations and released the results this week. “If I were a B.C. voter, based on this evidence, I would vote ‘no’ in the HST referendum,” Murrell said. Murrell did a similar study in 1997 when Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Newfoundland expanded their provincial sales tax to include services, and cut the rate to eight per cent. He also found a net saving to taxpayers in those provinces. B.C. consumer savings come from three sources, Murrell said. Goods that were subject to PST will now have it reduced to five per cent. The government has offered personal income tax credits to help compensate for the new HST. And businesses pass on savings from writing off taxes on material inputs and capital spending, lowering the price of products and services. Jock Finlayson, vicepresident of the Business Council of B.C., said Murrell’s study is the first independent academic analysis he has seen since the HST rate cut option was announced in May. Finlayson said he has heard many times that people don’t believe prices will be reduced as a result of HST tax breaks. But independent researchers have looked at the switch from retail sales taxes to value-added taxes around the world, and “without exception” they find that lower prices result, he said.

Columnist incites debate on post-secondary investment A ‘‘ n interesting discussion flared in the media recently that probably generated more interest among college and university employees and attendees than it did among the general public. It is a variant on the old “college vs. university” discussion. But there’s a new spin to it—it seems universities are concerned that too much attention is being paid to the colleges and their ability to respond to student demand for education and training that

will help them find work. The story referenced the fact that 15 per cent of those who are enrolled at Canada’s colleges are students who have previously attended university. “A national debate is underway in Canada about the value of a uni-
versity education as students flock to vocationally focused community colleges and concern grows among the nation’s universities.” That’s the way the Times Higher Education publication characterized the discussion. Gwyn Morgan, a well-known national columnist, was at least, inpart, responsible for fanning the flames of the discussion. One of his Globe and Mail columns this spring criticized universities for directing funding to low-enrolment programs

THE
NATURAL
FACTS
by Dr David Wikenheiser
Avoiding Knee Surgery Have you been told that you need to have your knees replaced? Are you reluctant to get surgery but you don’t know what else to do? Being cautious is always a good approach, especially with your health. If you want safe and effective alternatives to knee surgery I can help. If you are considering knee surgery you are not alone. According to Stats Canada in 2006 to 2007 38,400 knee replacement operations were performed. While fairly common, knee surgery is not a straight forward solution to knee pain. Here are eight problems with knee surgery. One: wait times can be many months to many years, and waiting for relief is not a good plan. Two: operating on the meniscus, a shock absorber inside the knee, speeds up arthritic degeneration of the knee. Three: you can’t stop at just one… Knee replacements usually last for ten years; then you will need another. Each knee replacement takes away another section of your leg bones, and you only have so much. So delaying your first knee replacement helps you to avoid being wheelchair bound in later life. Four: surgically replacing a knee joint will not solve the pain from all the connective tissue around the joint. You will still have to solve the problem of healing all the ligaments around the knee that were originally injured or stretched in knee surgery. Five: some surgeons fail to align the leg length in knee surgery. This leads to unequal leg lengths and can contribute to back and neck pain in the future. Six: with all the infections going around our hospitals today avoiding surgery will help you avoid complications from infection. Seven: the normal recovery time from knee surgery is many months. Avoiding surgery means avoiding this off time. Eight: reactions to general anesthetic. The general anesthetic used in knee replacement surgery has a number of risks associated with it. Avoiding surgery means you will avoid those potential complications. I have effective knee pain treatments that will allow you to avoid knee surgery. I offer Prolotherapy and Prolozone treatments which are non surgical medical procedures that effectively stimulate the regeneration of cartilage, ligaments, and other connective tissues in and around a knee.For an appointment to discuss your knee problems, and how to solve them without surgery, call my office.

while they were turning away students for other in-demand programs, where there were jobs waiting. When the predictable response came from those who think we ought never draw a connecting line between education and work, he wrote another column that cast an eye toward colleges. “Fortunately, our community colleges are in the real world.” “If you were the federal finance minister responsible for getting the best value for taxpayer dollars, what would you choose to do?” Morgan asked his readers. “Keep shovelling money at universities whose ‘academic independence’ paradigm blocks the reallocation of resources to programs that meet the needs of employers and the career opportunities available for
students? “Or shift a greater portion of post-secondary financing to institutions that not only cost less per student, but actually consult with employers and focus programs to where the jobs are?” I don’t think it boils down to something as simple as colleges vs. universities, though. That presumes there’s a clear line to be drawn between the two. If there ever was a definitive line, it has been so badly blurred and redrawn over the past 20 to 30 years, that no one should even attempt to describe it. Consider the post-secondary landscape in British Columbia. Our province has several universities that offer a broad array of trades training. There are several colleges in this province that

deliver respected fouryear baccalaureate degrees (Okanagan College among them). So let’s leave “college vs. university” out of the discussion. It’s a gross simplification that won’t always work. Let’s dwell on a point that Morgan makes: There needs to be a focus—at the policy and funding level—on institutions that meet society’s
needs, and which can anticipate those and respond quickly. That doesn’t mean abandoning support of liberal arts degrees and academic freedom. It doesn’t mean cancelling all classes in Latin and 18th Century Russian philosophy at all universities in Canada. (I have a liberal arts degree. It has served me well.) What adjusting our focus means is that we need to consider a balance in our public investments, with an eye on outcomes. There are increasingly scarce resources to be invested in post-secondary education these days. We should make sure those available resources are going where there are short- and long-term returns on investment. Allan Coyle is the director of public affairs for Okanagan College.

Vegas flights from WestJet coming on stream Kelowna International Airport will see more passenger traffic opportunities with flights between Kelowna and Las Vegas as WestJet service begins Sept. 10 and runs through until the end of April, 2012. “This is great news for the Thompson Okanagan,” said Kelowna airport director Sam Samaddar. “We have seen this service increase from four months to six month last year and now we have eight months of service.” WestJet service between Kelowna and Las Vegas will operate Tuesdays and Saturdays. “This will open up our wine festivals, skiing and still catch some of the golf season for the Nevada traveller looking to experience the Okanagan,” said Samaddar. “This also allows for more options for passengers. For those who want to vacation in Las Vegas it means travelling at a more reasonable time of day, plus making it easier for those who need to catch a connection from Las Vegas to another destination.” Las Vegas is the 22 largest airport in the world; 8th largest in North America with 39.4 million passengers. It’s the main hub airport of Southwest Airlines which offers more than 230 departures a day to 72 cities. For more information on flights and airport news visit ylw.kelowna.ca.

Stats, lovely stats, we’ll miss you when you’re gone
W
hen friends who defected to the minivan majority decide to don their Freud cap and dig into my marital status, I find solace and a bounty of ammunition with Statistics Canada. “Around 43 per cent of you are doomed, don’t cha know?” I say, silently making plans to catch up on eye-crossing facts and figures. “Are you sure it's wise to be so smug,” I add…smugly. The fairy tale ending to this conversation is they buy lunch—maybe a present, too—sum up their survival rate with their “other halves” and decide to never embark upon such chitchat with their adored-and-whole friends ever again. Thing is, they suddenly realize, clichéd talking points are a disappoint-
to the person they're KATHARTIC ment speaking with and, more
importantly, the nation's number crunchers. Those poor accounting-types deserve more for spending hours comKathy piling mind-bending Michaels and boring figures. Their work should be used as fodder for important things, like tracking social trends for future health care or housing needs, not as a verbal shield to wield over wine. That was until last week, anyway, when those number crunchers became the big disappointment. Statistics Canada announced last week they would be peeling back my one and only defence by doing away with marriage and divorce rates. This turn of events stems back to the changing nature of marriage and a 2008 “strategic review” that indicated
there had to be cost cutting. Apparently marriage stats cost $250,000 to keep. That seems like a hefty sum, but they'd know best, considering marriage data has been collected in Canada since 1921 and divorce data has been on the books since 1972. While I will lament the end of one of my favourite conversation pieces, more Canadians should be upset about the fact we're losing another tool to gain understanding of our culture and maintain a higher standard of civility. The end of such data will make it difficult to assess how things, like the recession, affect divorce rates because it will be harder to compare Canadian marriage or divorce rates with other countries. Policy makers say they will have a tougher time assessing how marital breakdown is affecting child poverty, housing, education and health care, and which policies are most effective at
j keeping families together. It's disconcerting how such a seemingly small thing can make such a big difference. But, strangely, be of less in- N terest to the average person than their friends' personal lives. Perhaps this will be my new, smug line of defence. 43.1 per cent—Canadian marriages expected to end in divorce before the couple reach their 50th anniversary 26.8 per cent—Marriages expected to end in divorce before a couple in Newfoundland and Labrador reach their 50th anniversary 62.6 per cent—Percentage of marriages expected to end in divorce by the time a Yukon couple reaches their 50th 44—Median age for Canadian men at divorce in 2008 41—Median age for Canadian N women at divorce in 2008.

LETTERS ▼ KIDS WILL SET RULES
Use of marijuana for its benefits will be a fact in our society in the future To the editor: This letter is in response to Paul Latimer’s column published in the July 22 Capital News (Marijuana Use Among Teenagers More than a Casual Habit). I would firstly like to applaud Paul for his concern over young minds and the direction today’s teens are heading, however; I couldn’t help but feel some contradiction to disputable “facts” about marijuana in his column. Despite quoting U.S. statistics for increased cannabis use among teens in the States, he failed to provide relevance for Canadian youth, stating only the percentage of teens that have used or do indulge in marijuana on a regular basis. The reason probably being that for
quite some time now, marijuana has remained in a grey area in Canada. Possession and use of cannabis remains illegal yet, considering the apathetic state Canadians seem to harbour towards the subject, hints that no one really cares. The main point to be addressed here is: “Is it beneficial for teens to indulge in marijuana recreationally?” The answer is probably not. Cannabis use among teens is linked to impairments in developing brains, change of attitude, negative social surroundings and things of that sort (although this mostly occurs in the case of frequent and prolonged use). It is not ideal to spend copious amounts of time
getting “high” as a teen when education, life-planning, positive social interactions and recreational activities exist to offer long term benefits, as opposed to a brief “euphoria.” Paul offered some examples of the negative effects of smoking cannabis but nothing truly serious, in my opinion. If you were, however, comparing marijuana to alcohol (which is possibly even more rampant among youth), then consider the negative effects associated with booze for teens: Drunk driving, violent parties, irrational decisions and physical dependency on an extreme level given enough time. Perhaps, then, occasional marijuana use among teens is better than
the alternative—the consequences of alcohol. Regardless, marijuana is not without its purposes. Not to say that it is an allaround healing agent but consider the facts. Paul states that cannabis use is not good for you physically or mentally. This is not entirely true as even our own government has recognized and approved the use of medicinal marijuana to treat a variety of illnesses. Is it not then hypocritical to keep illegal something that we do approve of in certain circumstances? That to me sounds a little conflicting. The point I’m trying to make here is, marijuana use is not ideal among teens—yes. However, is it better than alcohol misuse by today’s youth?
On top of that, the benefits to those who use medical marijuana are immense. Education is the key to understanding and it’s important to remove preconceived and outdated notions and assumptions about cannabis and instead, look at the real facts of today. While teens continue their routine schooling, it’s also important they receive proper education on marijuana and its benefits, as evidence clearly suggests cannabis will become an intricate part of our society in the years to come and today’s teens, will be the ones overseeing such an infrastructure tomorrow.

Gangs would continue trade in hallucinogen Pot from A10 fully nurtured over the last decades to make a stronger and stronger product. t And just who has been nurturing and distributing this product— tbaddies. Gangs, who virttually control every aspect of its production and sale t It’s a fantasy to think
that once a move is made to legalize a weaker, inferior, more expensive product that these gangs are going to simply say, “Well boys, I think we’re out of the pot business.” Unlike prohibition in the 1920s and ’30s, these gangs have had decades to refine a sophisticated, multi-national, underground operation
that has virtually perfected growing and moving massive quantities of pot. If they can still make money—they will. And in this scenario why would anyone used to higher potency pot pay more (I’m guessing 1,000 per cent more) for weaker (lower quality) marijuana even if they could buy it
from the corner store? Potheads think it would be some wondrous utopia where they could frolic in a field full of dancing hippies and unicorns if only someone would legalize and tax it, but the reality is they wouldn’t buy higher priced, crappy pot from the 7-Eleven for long. They’d be back call-
ing their dealer and giving their money to who they’ve always given it to—gangs—who then use the profits generated from the sale of marijuana to fund the other aspects of their business. And I don’t have to tell you what those are. Rorschach13 disqus

Charlie Hodge the ragweed allergies that tweaked my feeling of
déjà vu. But regardless of the inspiration, I recoiled with the recollection that indeed it seemed like just last year I had done all of this work before. And for good reason I had. It’s been two weeks or so since Tez and I celebrated our first anniversary, which means it is just
slightly over a year ago that we sat down with a smile on our mugs and saluted our back yard landscaping efforts. Teresa and I had decided early in the spring of last year that we wanted to be married in our back yard rather than a church or some location in the town.
For us, our time in the garden is somewhat like a retreat or escape. So we spent every spare (and even some not so spare) moments planting gardens and creating an attractive setting in which to celebrate our special day. After weeks of work, we concluded that we would need the assistance
of a landscape company to really put the special touches into place. So we hired a local company to create a beautiful crush pathway through our backyard while Tez and I continued to create gardens everywhere. See Hodge A13

NEWS Hodge from A12 Between the landscape company and the purchasing of dirt, flowers and materials we spent a couple of thousand dollars, not to mention hundreds of hours of work. A few days before the wedding we were finally satisfied with our efforts. The wedding was wonderful and many of our friends raved about the lovely looking gardens and back yard. Teresa and I were very pleased with the work, taking particular pleasure in knowing that we would really enjoy the fruit of our efforts this summer when the yard and gardens had an entire year to mature and flourish. We’d planted lots of perennials and would have this summer to simply tweak the work and add a few nice touches. So much for longterm planning. As some readers may recall, about four months ago the sewer line in my back yard blew up and we had to call in a backhoe company. They dug a six foot deep, six to eight foot wide, and 50-foot long trench through the backyard in order to put in a new line. The excavation work took out half of our new crush pathway and a whack of our flower garden—not to mention the lawn. The scene resembled a movie set about no man’s land, especially after it rained for a few days and our back yard looked like a battlefield of mud. The reality of the massive repair job before us was somewhat overwhelming. So much so, in fact, that it left us with little choice but to do the logical thing— ignore it and put our minds on other things, which we did. So, some two months ago we simply turned around and completely tore out the front lawn. We brought in the same backhoe guy and told him to leave no sod unturned. Why not have two muddy fields instead of just one? The decision to remove the front lawn was actually easy. It never really was a lawn as much as a dandelion infested plot of ugliness. Regardless, I was tired of watching Tez cut the front ugly lawn (my allergies kept me on the sidelines) only to have it spring back to semi-life a few days later and demand another cutting. Besides, I never understood the lack of logic in watering a lawn only to cut it, only to water it again, etc. If one could eat lawn
it might make sense but otherwise…But with a completely wiped out front lawn, Tez and I sat back and sketched out some ideas and then got to work. Well, the project is not complete yet, but its getting pretty close. Our
front yard now sports two raised vegetable boxes, Tez’s Daddy’s old homemade white picket fence, some xeriscape flowers, and a wild English garden. The majority of water is provided by rain barrels and drip irrigation. With the front yard
near completion, I have now turned my focus on that familiar place known as the back yard. On Wednesday, I completed the recreation of the pathway and the construction of two more raised vegetable boxes. All that remains is the
moving of another two yards or so of crush. With 12 yards of top soil, four yards of crush, and another three yards of Nature’s Gold already moved by Tez and I with a tiny wheelbarrow, I must admit to feeling a little bit healthier. The front yard
looks much better, the backyard nearly recovered, and my beer belly is much smaller. Feeling rather pleased I started to say to Tez yesterday, “Gee honey, just think how good our yard will look by this time next year.” But I stopped my-
self half way through. Something in the back of my memory bank reminded me that I had said that once before and things had not gone so smooth. I’m getting to old and tired for any more deja vu gardening moments.

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele
ast Sunday, I spent a lovely afternoon having Tea in the Gardens with many other supporters to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the formation of the Friends of Summerland Ornamental Gardens. Among the speakers was local ecologist and writer Don Gayton who said that the Summerland Gardens are situated in a unique interface between absolute wilderness beyond the gates bordering on the historic Kettle Valley Railway and the experimental orchards and vineyards of the Pacific Agricultural Research Centre. All my life I have loved visiting these gardens. As a child my grandparents took us there on an annual picnic. This was an all day family outing beginning, in the early days, with a ride on the ferry to cross the lake. The gardens were started as part of an ornamental research program when the Summerland Research Station opened in 1916. It was the place in the Okanagan to find out what trees, shrubs and flowers would thrive in gardens and parks. Over time the area developed into an English style garden covering about 15 acres. When the research station closed the orna-

Over the years they have worked hard to restore the gardens and have created many new areas including a butterfly garden, demonstration home vegetable garden, and wedding pavilion. About 20 years ago, then garden manager, Brian Stretch, introduced the first public xeriscape garden to the Okanagan. It was ambitious project with about three acres of test beds. Plants from similar climates to ours, such as Colorado and New Mexico, along with plants we commonly grow in our gardens and our own native plants were tested to see how well they did in our dry conditions. There are many interesting trees, shrubs, perennials, and ornamental grasses as well as different varieties of yucca and cactus. Later a demonstration
xeriscape garden and a wildflower meadow were added. Throughout the various gardens, plants are labelled, providing an excellent resource for choosing plants for your landscape. There is additional signage to help you create your own xeriscape or butterfly garden. Today, the gardens are a lovely place for a quiet picnic among the tall trees and in the shade gardens or on the large sweep of lawns bordered in bright sun loving annuals, perennials and shrubs. The gardens attract visitors from around the world. They are supported by memberships, donations, volunteer gardeners and excellent spring and fall plant sales.

’d rather be outside than in. However, the weather this spring and the first part of summer has challenged that, because being outside meant getting soaked to the skin far more often than usual, and getting chilled more than you’d expect in an Okanagan summer. But a couple of heritage enthusiasts and outdoors lovers from Kelowna have braved not only the elements in the past couple of months, but also moved away from their cushy desks to take on the grueling task of performing hard labour for their daily bread, as they viewed the world passing
TRAIL MIX
Judie Steeves by from just a few feet off the water. Kelowna Museums executive director Wayne Wilson and local lawyer and mediator Bob Groves were two of 50 to 60 hardy souls who spent six weeks paddling a voyageur canoe the entire route from Invermere, B.C., to Fort Astoria, Oregon, following in the canoe-wake of pioneer ex-
plorer and surveyor David Thompson—reaching the ocean on the Columbia River 400 years to the day after he did. They were part of the 2011 Columbia Brigade, which included 195 paddlers who completed at least a portion of the route during the six weeks from June 3. Paddlers endured temperatures that ranged from freezing to 40 C, gale force winds, torrential rains, blazing sun and high waves. By day, they paddled the massive Columbia River system in all weather, a variety of water and through wide-ranging landscapes; and by night
they camped in the wild, in parks and community centres along the way. But, even the nights weren’t always peaceful. Despite assurances the system was turned off, one night the sprinklers woke and drenched them in one of the parks they were invited to make their home, related Wilson with a wry grin, as he looked back over his adventure. He talks about the beautiful, varied country they passed through on the expedition, from the Rocky Mountain trench through heavily forested Montana and into Idaho, then into Washington State where the riv-

As a trained geographer, Wilson says he was particularly aware of the changes in the landscape. Of course, along the mighty Columbia, the biggest change since its early exploration hundreds of years ago, has been the series of dams that completely altered it, creating long lakes and requiring numerous portages. In the Columbia basin, the land becomes flat and opens up, exposing amazing geologic formations where the river cuts through the land. Lower down, as it nears the State of Oregon, there’s the open parkland of the gorge, then the dense rainforest as it cuts through the coastal mountains in its rush to the sea. Here, Wilson was amazed at the miles of abandoned canneries lining the river, but also the big ships and industrial activity that characterized the river, in con-
trast to its earlier rural feeling. Most dramatic of all the scenery, was the sudden appearance, as they paddled around a bend in the river, of Mount Hood, rising out of the flat land surrounding it. He admits it was at the end of a hard paddle and they were beginning to feel a bit giddy, but he says it was quite an experience. Aside from the physical aspects of battling the elements and the river, the crews of these six-paddler, 26-foot canoes, discovered something about themselves over the six weeks. There were long days, disappointments and frustrations, but there was also satisfaction, joy and fun. And, once you’ve completed it, that experience is something no one can take from you, Wilson commented. It’s like climbing a peak or achieving any other physical goal. You don’t forget it, and it becomes part of you as you carry on with your life. The efforts of these two fellows to relive the

NEWS ▼ USE OF WATER
Be efficient watering your lawn or garden Corinne Jackson CONTRIBUTOR
It may seem odd to be talking water conservation in such a wet year, but it’s really the best time to start thinking about our water use. While the Okanagan’s 2011 spring and summer are cool and wet, 2010 was a different story as parts of the valley narrowly missed a serious drought. So why wait for a crisis to plan ahead? The Okanagan is a water-short region, with less water available per person than almost anywhere in Canada. As the population of this valley continues to grow, it could affect our water supply. At the same time, recent studies conducted for the Okanagan Basin Water Board have shown that climate change may also impact our supply. It makes sense then to take this time to think wisely about our water use and find ways to make water work in the most efficient and effective way possible. The Okanagan’s lakes, vineyards, orchards and golf courses—iconic images for this valley— are examples of “working water,” providing an economic benefit to the valley. The agricultural industry has made great strides to be more waterefficient and this work is continuing.
Even a number of local golf courses, enjoyed by locals and tourists alike, are looking to save water, changing their landscape to native plants and/or using treated wastewater for spray irrigation. However, there is significant room to make water work better in our personal landscapes—in particular, on our lawns. In all, 24 per cent of all water we take out of Okanagan lakes and rivers is used by residents outside. This is the second largest human use of water, most of it being used in the summer on our lawns and gardens. While one can make the case that water on the garden is used to grow food—and thus is working water, lawns are mostly cosmetic features. It’s interesting to note that our water systems were built decades ago for agriculture—not residential use. And as residential demand on these systems has grown so has the need for costly water treatment to meet drinking water regulations. As a result, we’re using some of the best, most highly-purified drinking

water in the world to irrigate our lawns. Some have asked why we don’t just build larger reservoirs. But building infrastructure is costly. The fact is, there is room for simple changes in the way we use water that, if implemented, could create significant water savings —and tax savings. If you water your lawn, here are some easy tips to make water work: • Water during the coolest part of the day to prevent evaporation. A good rule of thumb is 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. • Water only when it’s needed. Most lawns only need 2.5 centimetres (one inch) of water per week— about the depth of a tuna can. Watering deeply and less often promotes deep, healthy root growth. If this isn’t working, then the issue is unlikely how much water the lawn is getting. You may need to top dress or aerate. • Leave grass clippings as mulch on your lawn. They help feed the lawn and retain moisture, requiring less water and reducing evaporation. • Position your sprinkler to only water your lawn or garden, not pavement.
LAKE COUNTRY resident Deb Sippel uses a watering can on the plants that need it. Handwatering is a great way to make water work, allowing you to target only those plants that truly need the moisture. CORINNE JACKSON/CONTRIBUTOR
• Leave your grass 5 to 8 cm tall. This slows water evaporation from the soil. • Landscape with native and low-water variety plants. For more on Okanagan WaterWise, visit www.okwaterwise.ca.

Redgy Blackout may take Perrie, Breaks to fame and fortune Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER
Two years and three albums after first meeting Redgy Blackout, musicians Scott Perrie and Jeremy Breaks know only that he's a man with a capital "M." "He's trying to figure this world out. He's trying to get by and fall in love and put it all together," said Perrie, who fully admits he is also his main muse, though he really got his start as a marketing prop. The musicians themselves met at a jam session in Vancouver, formed a band and realized they
needed a name they could hang the act on that would truly set them apart. So with a background in theatre, Perrie, who will be in La Cage Aux Folles at the Vancouver Playhouse this fall, suggested creating a character. And so began Redgy Blackout, a cartoon ghosty with a tophat and cane whose putting-onthe-Ritz style is young, dark and playful in the way really good musicians ought to be, though rarely achieve. Under Blackout's facade, Breaks and Perrie create a sound best described as energetic roots/ rock, which seems an apt
label for the band's approach to music as well. With a banjo, electric and acoustic guitar, drums, bass and a good understanding of musical diversity (Breaks's father owned a music store), the pair have energy to spare. They also have a pretty grassroots approach to building their name, heading to the Kootenays Friday to open the jam session for the Kaslo Jazz Festival, and adding Lethbridge, Calgary, Revelstoke and Kelowna to the mini tour in under a week. It's the kind of work ethic and commitment to earning face-time in front of audiences they're

The rigorous battle of the bands-style competition, hosted by radio station The Peak 100.5 in Vancouver, put Kelowna's We Are the City on the map when they won the inaugural contest in 2009 and took home $100,000 to put toward building their career. "It's absolutely huge," said Perrie, as he described how overwhelmed he was by the orientation earlier this month, which saw We Are the City back to speak with the 20 finalists, along with Habitat's Quinn Best. The Peak Performance Project is a week-long intensive training camp at the end of August and by the end of the competition last year, several musicians had earned themselves a Juno Award.

Omega-3 fatty acids play key health role
O
nce again, omega-3 essential fatty acids are in the research. A recent study published in this month’s Brain, Behavior and Immunity found that increasing omega-3 essential acid intake may lower both anxiety symptoms and pro-inflammatory response. The chief study investigator, Dr. Janice KiecoltGlaser, a professor of psychiatry and psychology at the Institute for Behav-
ASK DR.THIEL
Markus Thiel ioural Medicine Research in Columbus, Ohio, found that individuals in the study had a 20 per cent reduction in their anxiety and a similar reduction in pro-inflammatory constit-
uents of the blood. One of the most important markers found in blood that has a significant role in inflammation is that of IL-6, a precursor to inflammation. It’s well known that chronic inflammation can lead to a great number of health problems including cardiovascular disease, stroke and arthritis. Supplementing with an omega-3 essential fatty acid can help protect against any would be inflammation. There are two key constituents within omega-3 essential fatty acids: EPA and DHA. It is these two compounds alone that are found to benefit mood and reduce global inflammation. In this study they used a ratio of 7:1 EPA to DHA as it is believed that EPA has a relatively stronger anti-inflammatory and anti-depressants affect than and DHA. It’s interesting to note that in both depression and anxiety, both have been found to greatly increase the amount of proinflammatory constituents circulating in the blood. It’s also well known in the literature that omega-3 essential fatty ac-
ids are very effective at reducing inflammation, but this study is exciting in the sense that it also had an effect of lowering anxiety. The individuals in the study received omega-3 essential fatty acid supplementation for a period of 12 weeks. During the course of the study, participants were interviewed six times and serial blood samples were taken during low and high stress periods. In the group that had the essential fatty acid supplementation, blood levels were found to be normal in high stress times in comparison to low stress times. Therefore, it’s postulated that the omega-3 essential acids reduce the stress response in those subjects studied. In addition to a statistically significant reduction in the amount of IL-6 production, there was a reported 20 per cent decrease in anxiety symptoms, when compared to the placebo group. It is worthy of mention of that the subjects in the study were of a mean average age of 23 years. Therefore, there is probably even a higher application to those who
are significantly older. The co-author of the study, Dr. Ron Glaser, stated that: “Anything we can do to reduce cytokines is a big plus in dealing with the overall health of people at risk for many diseases.” In 2006, The American Psychiatric Association issued recommendations that all patients who have a psychiatric disorder should take at least one gram of omega-3 essential acids per day. This supplementation would probably be about five times the amount of omega-3 essential fat acids and then you would get in a daily serving of salmon, therefore it is important to supplement with this essential fatty acid rather than to rely on diet alone. Knowing what I know about omega-3 essential fatty acids, both in research and clinical experience, I feel it is one of the most important supplements that one can pick if they were to pick only one. Its benefits are farreaching and very effective. Markus Thiel is a chiropractor practicing in Kelowna. askdrthiel@shaw.ca.
▼ FOOD DAY CANADA
Canadian food celebrated From breakfast in St. John’s, Nfld., to a crab cookout on a beach in Tofino on Vancouver Island, celebrations for Food Day Canada on Saturday will include events, contests, special restaurant menus and great Canadian food. The Waterfront Restaurant & Wine Bar in Kelowna will be among the 300 restaurants participating in the nationwide event, serving an all-Canadian menu. Food Day Canada celebrates the fact that Canadians are becoming more aware about buying and eating local, regional and seasonal Canadian foods. Studies have shown that Canadians prefer to buy Canadian foods whenever they can. Around the world, the red maple leaf on a food product label identifies it as safe, fresh and of top quality. “Canadians are becoming more patriotic about food,” said Anita Stewart, the culinary writer and University of Guelph consultant who founded Food Day Canada in 2003 and has enthusiastically developed the celebration across Canada. Sheraton executive chef Roary MacPherson is assembling a team of top St. John’s chefs to kick off the national par-
ty by cooking breakfast at the Signal Hill National Historic Site. Food Day Canada will end with a crab cookout on Chesterman Beach in Tofino at the Wickaninnish Inn. “Food Day Canada is one of many ways we love to promote the hard work and success of our Canadian farmers and producers,” said federal Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz. “I invite all Canadians to take part—either by sparking up their barbecues or heading to a Food Day Canada restaurant.” The sponsors will offer awards to both restaurateurs and individual Canadians in a variety of categories. For example, the Beef Information Centre will honour the wildest menu created by a member of the general public; the Egg Farmers will recognize the best brunch in Canada; and the University of Guelph will again offer an award for the most innovative menu. Canadians are invited to submit their menus, photos and videos to the www.FoodDayCanada.ca website and check out this year’s Food Day judges. “We look to restaurants for innovation, but it’s the home kitchens that have the real food of this nation,” said Stewart.

Jay’s host B.C. senior baseball championship
Schultz top biker Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
A combination of will power and cutting-edge training techniques led Kelowna mountain biker Jennifer Schultz to a first place finish in one of the most grueling mountain bike races in B.C. Schultz, 36, won the open women's category at the B.C. Bike Race, a seven-day mountain bike stage race that started on Vancouver Island and finished in Whistler earlier this month. "I came fourth in this race last year and this year had set a goal to win it," said Schultz. "I sort of exceeded my expectations. My teammates were joking that I was going to win but I was surprised. I was quite happy." The B.C. Bike Race is one of a growing number of mountain bike stage races taking place around the globe. Competitors race a different singletrack course in a different city each day, spending the night in tents with all other riders and then being escorted to the new course each day. At the B.C. Bike Race, each course took three to four hours to complete with riders from all over the world taking part. "It's quite grueling, it wasn't easy," said Schultz. "There were definitely some ups and downs. The thing with mountain bike racing is you have to ride your own race. You can't watch what everyone else
is doing. You have to keep in mind that it's a seven day race and if you overdo it on day one, you will be cooked." Schultz rode as a member of the Balance Point Racing team, a team based out of Vernon with several Kelowna riders on it (see results sidebar). Balance Point tests its riders to find out how their bodies will best perform, then tailors their training to fit their physiological make up. Schultz said she couldn't have done it without her team and her coaches as well as longtime sponsor Fresh Air Experience. "I've been doing this training for a couple years and this was the perfect test of the coaching philosophy, to see how it would work over a seven day epic ride," she said. "It's rewarding to put all of that work in and then have some success. I think I'm quicker now than when I was in my twenties." Schultz is no stranger to competing on mountain bikes and road bikes. Early in her career she rode mountain bike and competed in B.C. and Canada Cup races before joining the now defunct Total Restoration Cycling team and competing in road races. But it is on a mountain bike where she is most at home and with the trend now moving towards longer marathon-style mountain bike rides, it ap-

"As you get older you lose some speed but you gain endurance," she said. "I like the off-road component of mountain bike racing and the individual
components. I can ride my own race and train to have my best possible race." With her first place showing in the B.C. Bike Race, Schultz definitely did that. She is now looking forward to competing
in some more local races through the end of this season before tackling another large stage race, this time in Colorado, next season. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

The Kelowna Jays are hosting the eight team tournament with baseball teams from every part of the province. The Jays have finished third the past two years and will be looking to improve on that standing but they will be in tough against some of the best senior baseball teams in B.C.

Solid showing for Heat The Kelowna Heat failed to earn a trip to nationals but still didn't look a bit out of place at the elite level of midget girls fastball in B.C. Only a 7-5 loss to the Fraser Valley Fusion in their final playoff game stopped the Heat from gaining a top-four finish at the provincial midget A girls championship last weekend in Surrey. The top four teams head to nationals next month in Winnipeg. The Heat exceeded many expectations by posting a 3-1 record in the round robin, beating the Ridge Meadows Pride 8-4, Okanagan Elite Gold 13-2 and the White Rock Renegades 9-8. Kelowna opened the playoffs with a 9-6 loss to the White Rock Renegades '93, but rebounded for 9-8 win over White Rock Renegades '94. Haley Wedgewood,

with a flair for the dramatic, hit a walk off grand slam to lead the Heat to the victory. Rachel Penner was credited with the win as she started and finished the game with Allie Lumsden throwing a partial inning in the fourth. Christine Dewitt also smacked a two-run home run in the third. In their final playoff game against Fraser Valley, the Heat fell behind 4-0 but rallied back for a 5-4 lead in the top of the sixth. But the Fusion answered with three in the bottom of the sixth and the Heat were unable to respond, ending their hopes of a top-4 showing and national berth. "Going into provincials I knew we would be hard pressed to even make playoffs as the talent is so deep at this level so to finish where we did was
exceptional," said head coach Bernie Penner. "It still does not take away the sting of the final loss as we were so close to going to nationals. But as the girls look back on the season they will realize it was a great run and we gained considerable respect from the top teams in the province." The Heat will still have representation at the Canadian championship. Kelowna's Rachel Penner will add pitching and hitting depth to the Fraser Valley Fusion who head for nationals Aug. 14 in Winnipeg. The 2011 Kelowna midget A Heat are: Josee Arpin, Jamie Bassett, Olivia Bravi, Morgan Cederholm, Christine Dewitt, Allie Jonsson, Ally Lumsden, Tye-Lyn Nadin, Rachel Penner, Tori Turton, Felisha Vogelaar, Haley Wedgewood and Taylor Weixl.

PB for decathlete Turner in his first time on national team Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER
Kelowna decathlete James Turner closed out his competitive decathlon season by turning in a personal best during his first international competition as a member of Team Canada. Turner placed fifth in the decathlon at the 2011 Pan American Junior Games in Miramar, Florida last weekend, earning his most points ever in the 10 sport event. "I'm happy with how I did," said Turner upon returning to Kelowna early this week. "I would have liked to have done better in a couple of events but overall it was pretty good." Turner has burst onto the national scene in dec-
James Turner athlon this year. As a first year junior, the Kelowna Secondary School graduate scored high enough in the sport to quality for the Pan Am Junior Games. It was the highest level of competition that Turner had seen this year. "It was amazing," he said. "The competition was the best I've come up against. The winner set the Pan American record
and second place would have been a record. The third and fourth place finishers would have been Canadian records." Turner said with a couple better results in a few of his 10 events he was right with the top finishers. "If I was better in two events I would have medalled but you can't worry about it. I'm happy with how it went," he said. Prior to the event Turner flew to Vancouver to meet up with some other members of Team Canada before continuing down to Florida for the meet. It was the first time Turner had competed as a member of Team Canada as well as the first time he had taken part in an international event. "The experience was
awesome," he said. "I met a lot of really great athletes and hopefully some I will see down the road. It was amazing to wear the Canadian outfit." Turner has one event left in his summer track season before he heads to Texas to start an American collegiate career. He will participate in a couple of individual events at the Western Canada Games in Kamloops in early August but will sit out the decathlon, having taken part in four already this year. Then Turner will leave for the University of Texas at Arlington where he will begin training and competing in decathlon on an NCAA scholarship. "I'm really excited to train down in Texas and get some good coaching," he said.

FORMER Washington State Cougars lineman Tyson Pencer will play for the Okanagan Sun this season.
The Okanagan Sun offensive line just got a lot bigger, stronger and more experienced. Tyson Pencer, a 6-foot7, 330-pound native of Delta, who played the last two seasons with the Washington State Cougars, has agreed to join the Sun for the 2010 BCFC campaign. Sun GM Howie Zaron went hard after Pencer— a graduate of Sands Secondary—once he learned he was not planning on returning to school this fall and is excited about having the CFL draft eligible player in Sun colors. Zaron said the pres-
ence of Pencer will make all the Sun players "two feet taller." “He’s a big man, very athletic, very agile," said Zaron. "He’s very powerful and he has a mean streak on the field, which is something you want from a lineman." Zaron said Pencer's experience—two years in the PAC 10 Conference— will also be a huge asset. “He will bring some real veteran leadership to our o-line. You think about it, as good as it looks now talent wise, Charles Wilson is the only guy there with a lot of experience at this level," Zaron added.

HE’S VERY POWERFUL AND HE HAS A MEAN STREAK ON THE FIELD, WHICH IS SOMETHING YOU WANT FROM A LINEMAN. Howie Zaron, Sun GM
"Drew (Digout) is our best offensive lineman and he is a year out of high
school. What Tyson is going to be able to do for a guy like Drew, and all the guys around him, I’m excited to see.” Pencer had been considering staying at home to play junior football this season after being away the last three seasons, but credits Zaron for convincing him the Okanagan is where he should spend his final season of amateur football. “I have been talking to Howie the last week about the program and where it’s headed and where he wants it to be," Pencer said. "I’m excited to be coming to a program that
has a serious goal of winning and it sounds like a good atmosphere up there so I’m looking forward to it. That was a big positive for me. “I remember going there (Kelowna) as a kid. It’s obviously a nice spot, so I am looking forward to that part of it too. No doubt about that.” The Sun hope to have Pencer in uniform for the club's season opener this weekend in Kamloops against the Cowboys. Kick-off Sunday at Hillside Stadium is 5 p.m. Okanagan's home opener is Saturday, Aug. 6 against Langley.

occer is a sport that requires a tremendous amount of lower extremity strength and agility. Unfortunately, performing these skills can sometimes cause injuries such as a strains or tears to the quadriceps muscle located along the front of the thigh. Quadriceps injuries are common in sports such as soccer because not only are the athletes required to run at top speeds but they also have to perform strength and agility tasks such as kicking a ball while running. To get a better understanding of why quadriceps (quad) strains occur in soccer let me first review their actions and anatomy. The quads are a group of four muscles that are located along the front of the thigh. Three of the muscles, the vastus lateralis (outer part), vastus medialis (inner part), vastus intermedius (deep, middle part), attach on the thigh bone (femur) and then cross the knee joint via the knee cap to attach onto the shin bone (tibia). When they contract (shorten) these muscles will straighten (extend) the knee. The fourth muscle, the rectus femoris works to extend the knee along with the other quad mus-

Jay Stone cles. However, it also crosses the hip joint and works synergistically with the other hip flexors to generate hip flexion and to stabilize the pelvis upon weight-bearing. The rectus femoris is by far the most commonly strained of the quads muscles because its dual function demands so much from it. The rectus femoris is most commonly injured during the acceleration phase of sprinting, kicking (especially long kicking), or when contracting and meeting a resistance (such as two players kicking a ball at the same time). A pulled or torn quadriceps muscle can be identified by a pain in the front of the thigh. Often the athlete will feel the strain when it happens. A severe tear is felt as an abrupt, sudden, acute pain that occurs during a sprint or kick. Less severe tears may only give you minimal discomfort but the mechanism is the same. With more severe
tears you may also notice swelling or bruising on the thigh. As with all acute muscle strains, early treatment should consist of rest, ice, compression and elevation. A great way to do this with quad strains is to lie on your back with both your hip and knee on the injured side flexed up about 80 degrees. Then using a tensor bandage wrap an ice pack or cold gel pack to the front of the quad. This position combines ice, compression and elevation. You should ice for 15 to 20 minutes and try to repeat this every couple hours you are awake for the first two days. In this very early phase you should gently bend and straighten your knee frequently throughout the day. In a few days when you feel pain-free with walking and doing stairs you can resume slow running. When slow running is pain-free, you can progress your speed until you build up to full sprints without pain. Resuming full competition before you know you can run quickly without pain is a recipe for reinjury and longer eventual lay offs. Kicking should also be started slowly and begin with short soft pass-
es and progress to more powerful, longer passes and shots as you feel the muscle can handle it. Most strains should be healed enough to let you play again in a few weeks but occasionally it may take longer or shorter depending on the severity of your injury. Lastly, the best way to avoid long rehab is to avoid the injury in the first place. Off season programs consisting of quad strengthening can help but most important is to slowly build up you sprinting and kicking intensity at the beginning of the season and always have a good dynamic warm up and stretch before running at top speeds and kicking as hard as you can. If you do have an injury that seems to be slow to heal you may benefit from having yourself checked by a physiotherapist who should assess your relative muscle length and strength and devise a program of rehab more suited for your specific needs.

Dinosaurs at home in city’s Natural History Museum William and Julian Diepenbrock CONTRIBUTORS
The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County has opened its doors to the distant past when dinosaurs ruled the earth. The new state-of-the-art Dinosaur Hall, a contemporary exhibit, will put the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History at the forefront of the paleontological world.
Five years in the making, the 14,000-square-foot Dinosaur Hall frames the museum’s most fascinating discoveries against a brightly lit background of steel and glass, punctuated by colorful murals, wall displays and multi-media tools. “I truly believe we’re building one of the best dinosaur exhibits of today,” says world-renowned paleontologist Luis M.

We expect this to be the most popular exhibit we’ve ever had.” In the new exhibit, the dinosaurs truly come into their own, with their story presented via a series of case studies in four themes revealing how scientists learn about dino-

TRAVEL ▼ WALT DISNEY WORLD
Changes slow to appear at Pleasure Island Jason Garcia CONTRIBUTOR
At the end of summer in 2008, Walt Disney World shut down the nightclubs that once made Pleasure Island an afterdark destination for more than a million people a year, saying it wanted to transform the adult-oriented district into a new venue more suitable for families with children. Three years later, Disney has yet to realize that vision. Five Pleasure Island clubs are still standing, but they are sealed up and dark, little more than elaborately themed, empty storefronts. Two others have been demolished, replaced only by a grass field walled off from pedestrians. Just one new restaurant has been added, though Disney says a clothing boutique will open later this summer. Disney announced earlier this month that the new concept planned for the area—which would have converted Pleasure Island into an early-1900s-themed seaport dubbed “Hyperion Wharf”—has been postponed indefinitely. The concept appears unlikely to be revived. The slow-moving makeover is the result, at least in part, of what many former Disney officials say has been a longrunning debate within the company about how best to position Pleasure Island and whether adult-only entertainment fits with Disney’s family-entertainment brand. Disney acknowledges Pleasure Island’s transformation has progressed more slowly than planned. But it notes it has been making many changes elsewhere in Downtown Disney, the broader retail area that includes Pleasure Island, from opening the dinosaur-themed T-
Rex Cafe to adding tabletop dining to an existing AMC movie theater. The resort this month announced that Splitsville, a 50,000-squarefoot “upscale entertainment center” with bowling, billiards, dancing and drinking, will begin construction in the fall. The giant resort also says the club closings have not harmed Downtown Disney, saying guest ratings for the area remain “as high as ever” and that it “continues to experience financial growth.” In addition to Pleasure Island, the 120-acre Downtown Disney complex includes Marketplace, a shopping area anchored by the World of Disney store, and West Side, headlined by Cirque du Soleil and DisneyQuest. “As with any project of this size and scope, our plans have continued to grow and evolve over time as part of our creative process, and it has simply taken longer than we anticipated,” Disney World spokeswoman Zoraya Suarez said. “We are committed to creating absolutely the best experience possible at Downtown Disney and are taking the time to look holistically at the entire property.” Long before it turned out the lights in the nightclubs, Disney knew it had to do something about Pleasure Island. Attendance at the venue, which opened in 1989, had been steadily declining for years. It lost business to competing nightspots, such as Universal Orlando’s CityWalk and International Drive’s Pointe Orlando, as well as to Disney’s own theme parks as they extended their operating hours later into the night. Already a low-margin business because of costs such as live bands
and comedians, some of Pleasure Island’s clubs began losing money. The financial struggles added to what both current and former Disney officials say were long-held concerns among some top Disney executives that dancing- and drinkingfueled nightclubs undermined the company’s reputation for wholesome family entertainment. One former Downtown Disney manager recalls being told by a supervisor: “You’re always going to have to justify the existence of Pleasure Island.” Disney tried replacing poorly performing clubs with new venues one at a time, hoping that closing some of the clubs would make the remaining ones profitable. One of the biggest money losers, Pleasure Island Jazz Co., was converted to an Irish pub in 2005. But progress was slow, and resort executives opted to shutter all of the remaining nightclubs in September 2008. “Given that closing the clubs would not have a material impact on our business, we saw no advantage to delaying the closures even as we were still planning for future experiences,” Disney’s Suarez said. Disney has evaluated a host of proposals for the area in recent years, according to one former company official, from Yard House, a chain of sports grills, to a club aimed at young teenagers featuring Disney Channel franchises. The company initially had hoped Splitsville would be built on Pleasure Island. The global credit crunch has likely hampered progress. Financing dried up for restaurant operators, who can spend as much as $8 million to $10 million to build at Downtown Disney.
GUESTS LINE UP at the Comedy Warehouse on Disney’s Pleasure Island. At the same time, Marketplace and West Side have continued to perform well, easing pressure for an immediate Pleasure Island overhaul. Analysts say there are

Tourists more than just visitors Utility upgrade project to impact Gordon traffic Y ou often hear that tourism is a lynchpin of the economy, both for the province overall and specifically for our Thompson-Okanagan region. But what does that really mean? As an industry, is tourism truly vital? In a word, yes. The numbers for tourismâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economic impact are staggering. Tourism has a $1.75 billion economic impact every year in the Thompson-Okanagan. What about Kelowna and its surrounding communities? The Kelowna areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share is an estimated 1.2 million visitors every year, generating $610 million of economic activity. The overwhelming majority of those visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;about one millionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;stay for at least one night. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crucial, because overnight visitors tend to spend a lot more money than â&#x20AC;&#x153;drive-throughâ&#x20AC;? tourists. For example, in 2006 visitors spent some $346 million at Kelowna area

Impressive as those figures are, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actually growingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and at a faster rate here than elsewhere in B.C. In the past decade, hotel revenue has increased by 33 per cent across the province, but by 55 per cent in the ThompsonOkanagan. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very significant difference of 22 per cent. That $346-million in economic activity translates into 9,800 jobs in the Kelowna areaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and 60,500 in the wider Thompson-Okanagan. In Kelowna, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 13.7 per cent of all economic activity.
But the economic ripple effect of tourism extends far beyond those 9,800 jobs. The incomes and thriving businesses also contribute greatly towards provincial and local government revenues, which in turn go towards things like education, police and infrastructure as well as things like broadband funding for rural communities, Innovative Clean Energy projects, and community gaming grants for sports and cultural groupsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all funding announcements Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had the privilege of making recently. In short, tourism and the revenue it generates contribute very directly to improving our quality of life. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important we continue to support and promote our tourism industry to ensure it continues to grow. With that in mind, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s encouraging to see all the interesting news coming from our tourism industry. Many very talented people are hard at work developing some fantastic new destination prop-
erties. Provincial, regional and municipal tourism boards are keeping pace with some innovativeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; and funâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;planning and marketing programs to help and support tourism businesses as they grow and prosper. Tourism Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new product development and marketing programs for golf, wine, arts and agri-tourism, along with the Thompson-Okanagan Tourism Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regional tourism strategy development process, are just some examples of this. The provincial government is keenly aware of these projects and has been very supportive, as evidenced by Jobs, Tourism and Innovation Minister Pat Bellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit with the Tourism Kelowna board on Monday. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited to see what they come up with. Our continued economic vitality depends on it, and in many ways, so does our quality of life. Norm Letnick is the Liberal MLA for Kelowna-Lake Country. www.normletnickmla.bc.ca

Fresh look to Hyundai Genesis Sedan Neil Moore CARGUIDE MAGAZINE

LAS VEGAS, Nevada: Some question the wisdom of a non-premium automaker building premium cars, but I think it’s quite clever. Over the course of a decade, the swift succession of XG300, XG350 and Azera sedans, along with the Veracruz crossover and finally the Canadian and North American ‘Car of the Year’ Genesis Sedan, has virtually wiped out all but the most painful memories of the Pony and Stellar. These mid-eighties
take and redesigned trapezoidal headlights with striking LED accents. From the side, rocker panels protrude even more, and brushed aluminum window surrounds enhance its assertive profile.

rust buckets are no longer millstones around the company’s neck any more than today’s Ford is hobbled by the exploding Pinto and the dissolving Maverick of the seventies— the latter of which my family had the misfortune to own. It’s a speedy and successful repositioning of Hyundai from cheap-andcheerful to a serious contender in any segment they compete. I would also suggest that despite the lack of brand cachet, the Genesis rear-wheel-drive luxury sedan can hold its own against just about any vehicle in its price range. Which in this case spans an entry point of $39,999 for the base 3.8-litre to $53,499 for the more powerful and fullyloaded Genesis 5.0-litre R-Spec. This sounds like a lot of money for a Hyundai, and for 2012 it’s even more than the current model. The base car has gone up $1,000 and the top-trim, V6 powered Genesis is now priced the same as last year’s 4.6-litre V8. That being said, these models all benefit from a big bump in power, better fuel economy, an eightspeed automatic (up from six-speed) and more standard and available content. The big news for Genesis is the R-Spec, its single all-in, eight-cylinder trim level, powered by Hyundai’s largest and
most powerful engine todate—the 5.0-litre Tau V8 with gasoline direct injection (GDI). The Tau, which was recently named to the Ward’s Ten Best Engines list, produces 429 hp and 376 lb/ft of torque. This not only bests the previous 4.6-litre V8 engine’s 385 hp and 333 lb/ft, but with an output of 85.8 hp per litre, sits above its naturally-aspirated premium luxury competitors as well. To find the extra power, the cylinder walls were bored out to a larger diameter, and GDI was added—a technology that significantly increases power and torque while simultaneously reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Not that buyers in this segment are necessarily thrifty, but it’s nice to know that the added muscle came without a fuel penalty. The engine is rated at 13.1/8.1 L/100 km (city/hwy), which is nearly identical to last year’s smaller powerplant. The 3.8-litre V6 also enjoys some big gains in power. Not that the previous engine was a slouch at 290 hp and 264 lb/ft of torque, but the 2012 version now delivers even more punch. Also with GDI technology, the new V6 delivers 333 hp (a gain of 15 percent) and 291 lb/ft. All this, along with lower emissions and a five percent improvement in fuel economy (now 11.1/6.9 L/100 km).

During the launch, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much time in either Genesis, but will admit that although the 5.0-litre model is more powerful, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not dramatically quicker. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a slam against the R-Spec, but a tribute to the liveliness of the 3.8. The 5.0-litre also comes with a stiffer suspension, perhaps a little too stiff for a large, quiet and otherwise plush luxury sedan. If Hyundai rreally wants to push the sports aspect of this trim level, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d suggest a little exhaust growl to go along with its more aggressive driving dynamics. Both engines are paired with Hyundaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proprietary eight-speed automatic transmission with Shiftronic manual control. This is accomplished with the consolemounted shifter, as no steering wheel paddles are available. Like the former sixspeed, it is extremely smooth and quiet, but also feels to be geared more towards fuel economy. A â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; setting would be appreciated, giving drivers the option of a quicker throttle response and later shifts. The interior of the Genesis remains pretty fmuch the same as last year, but the exterior has been refreshed. The 2012 model now wears a more aggressive front with a larger lowfer intake and redesigned trapezoidal headlights rwith striking LED accents. From the side, rocker panels protrude even more, and brushed aluminum window surrounds are a nice touch. The rear has new combination taillamps and dual integrated exhausts in the back bumper. The R-Spec also gets a set of 19-inch alloys. On the inside, the Genesis is fitted as nicely as youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d expect for a premium, full-sized sedan. You can check the Hyundai web site for specific content, but I will note that the company still has one minor problem to fix. Although they provide heating for up to four seats, cooling is only available for the driver. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a minor gripe, but one Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be
missed by my wife on a scorching summer day. That aside, the Genesis Sedan does offer a lot of car for the money, despite only accounting for a relatively small share of the segment with 317 units sold in the first half of 2011. But this vehicle is up against some stiff competition in the pricier Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW 5-Series, both of which can be had with allwheel-drive. Hyundai expects sales figures to grow with the improvements for 2012, and understands that a good number of buyers want AWD in this type of vehicle. One executive I spoke with admitted that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the way, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no word yet on timing. Will the Genesis be as successful as other Hyundai vehicles in their respective segments? Probably not, as no matter what the build quality and content levels, buyers today still expect the prestige of a luxury marque. Granted, cars like the Genesis Sedan and the even more luxurious Equus sedan may have little impact on the bottom line, but they do an even more important job in demonstrating the capability of this manufacturer. Which canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but continue enhancing buyer perceptions throughout the rest of Hyundaiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s product lineup.

Although Ford has been on a roll of late, sales of the Flex have not been what Ford would have liked. However, the Flex does have a faithful and growing following and Ford is trying to grow the model with changes for 2011 that include a new top-line trim level called the Titanium package. My all-wheel-drive (AWD) Titanium tester was painted an attractive Ingot Silver Metallic, one of four exterior colours offered on that trim level, which is based on the Flex Limited. It features distinctive beltline molding, a black chrome finish grille, black roof, black mirror skullcaps, and black chrome on the liftgate and fog lamp bezels. Also standard are 20inch polished aluminum wheels. Available in front- or all-wheel drive, the Flex starts at $29,999 for the front-wheel drive SE model, rising to $49,599 for the Titanium AWD. There are a number of trim levels in between, including the SEL FWD and AWD and the Limited FWD, AWD and AWD with EcoBoost engine. My tester had a number of other options including the panoramic sunroof ($1,750), power folding third row seat ($500), active park assist ($700) and rear console refrigeration ($650) to bring the price as tested to $54,979 plus $1,450 freight and PDI.

their own overhead windows. Up front, a sliding moonroof opens to the skies, while the second and third rows get the fixed glass window. The optional rear console refrigeration is neat option for road trips, but you’ll have to consider whether the $650 price tag is worth it. All in all, the cabin of the Flex is about as luxurious as it gets in a crossover these days. My tester had charcoal black leather seating with perforated grey Alcantara suede inserts. It’s a nice combination. Seating is high with a commanding view of the road ahead. The seats themselves are comfortable, even for long commutes and the fit and finish inside is top notch. You wouldn’t expect a 2,174 kg (4,783 lb) vehicle to handle the way the Flex does. It feels much smaller than its size. The ride is also smoother than one would expect with the long 2,994 mm (117.9-in) wheelbase and the huge 20-inch wheels on the tester. For anyone pulling a boat or trailer, this is an ideal vehicle with a towing capacity of 2,041 kg (4,500 lb). The EcoBoost engine works as advertised with

oodles of power from the turbocharged V6 engine. Fuel economy is quite good for a vehicle this size with a Natural Resources Canada rating of 13.1L/100 km (22 mpg) city and 9.2L/100 km (31 mpg) highway. There’s certainly a lot to like with the Flex if you can get past the exterior styling. As the name suggests, it’s as versatile a crossover as there is on the market and with seating for seven passengers, it can be a great people hauler. The Titanium version gets you up into luxury crossover territory and the Flex competes quite well at this level. However, if your tastes (and pocketbook) are a bit more modest, the Flex starts at under $30K and there are more than enough standard features on even the base model to satisfy most families.

Standard on the Flex is a 3.5-litre 24-valve Duratec V6 engine, making 262 hp and 249 lb/ft of torque. My tester had the 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 that offers power (355 hp, 350 lb/ft of torque) comparable to a normally-aspirated V8 engine with the fuel economy of a V6. The EcoBoost has a unique twin-turbocharged, r direct-injection strategy and is available on the Limited and Titanium series. Both engines are mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission that offers the driver a choice between fully automatic operation and manual control. With SelectShift, paddle shifters are integrated into the steering wheel spokes. It’s easy to use. Simply squeeze back to upshift and push forward to induce a “matched-rev” downshift. Inside the Flex, space is generous thanks to its rboxy design. Second-row passengers have the most expansive second row space of any large crossover and the second row seats flip and fold to allow reasy access to the third row. The optional Powerfold feature ($500) allows you to fold down the rear seats at the push of a button with a similar Autofold option ($650) for the second-row folding seats. rWith the second and thirdtrow seats folded, the Flex has an amazing 1,224 litres (43.2 cu ft) of cargo volume.

Volkswagen Beetle comes out of its shell for 2012 Jim Robinson CARGUIDE MAGAZINE
BERLIN: This car is going to bug MINI. Few would argue there is no more iconic shape in the automotive world than that of the Volkswagen Beetle. It was the original Beetle upon which the corporation was built and it was the second, New Beetle in 1998 that turned things around once again during a period when Volkswagen had started to drift. Since then we have seen exciting products such as the new Passat, Ti-
guan, Touareg and the luscious looking CC, but it was the New Beetle that started people looking at Volkswagen again. In fact VW today has one of the youngest fleet of vehicles on the road, the eldest being two years old. When the third generation Beetle arrives in Canadian showrooms in October, that span is going to be lowered to 18 months. While it could be argued VW doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really need the new, New Beetle, nothing could be further from the truth. To many, Volkswagen without a Beetle just
wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be Volkswagen. As Ford found out when it tried to resurrect the Thunderbird, iconic cars have not just to look similar but the â&#x20AC;&#x153;spiritâ&#x20AC;? of the car has to be there, too. So in bringing about the 2012 Beetle two major issues had to be addressedâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the look and the image. While the new car is longer, wider and not as tall as the outgoing model, it is much more passenger friendly on the inside, especially in the back seat. In the outgoing 2010 Beetle, the design focused

WHILE INSTANTLY recognizable as a Beetle, the 2012 model does away with the three half semi-circle design for a half oval for the engine and drive and a larger and longer half oval for passengers and cargo.

on one large semi-circle for the cabin and a smaller semi-circle on each end for the wheels. It was been replaced by a half oval for the engine and drive and a larger, elongated half oval for people and luggage.
The outgoing car made the driver feel like he/she was sitting in the centre of the car. And then there was the back seat that was torture for the big and tall especially in terms of headroom. During the press pre-
view in Berlin, I made a point of riding in the back seat. Getting in was no problem but getting out was another matter requiring me to bend things I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bent in years. But, the big thing was I could sit straight up with
room for my hand between the roof liner and my head. Thanks to the new hatchback design, throwing stuff in the trunk is now easy and cargo space See VW B7

is pretty good at 426 litres. That doubles to 850 litres when the 50:50 split/fold back seat is down. It is way better than the 2010 model with its large, fixed rear window and trunk lid that was really not much more than an access panel. The other issue is about the last Beetle being a “chick car.” When the second-gen Beetle went on sale in 1998, people from all age groups flocked to buy it. Those buyers largely ignored other alternatives. They wanted a Beetle— period.

Transmission choices on the first two are a standard five-speed manual or optional Tiptronic sixspeed automatic and a sixspeed manual or six-speed dual-clutch automatic on the Sportline with paddle shifters on the steering

As we drove through the former East Zone, it felt rock solid and very responsive to steering in-
puts. Frankly, I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have expected anything less from a VW. There was a blind spot to the rear but nothing like that of the last generation. One little touch I loved was the rubber hand assist strap on the B pillar to help backseat passengers get in and out. It was a delightfully faithful replica of the one used for dec-
ades in the original Beetle. VW didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do it, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure glad they did.

limited edition Premium and Premium + priced at $24,475 and $27,975 respectively. There will only be 600 of these launch models for all of Canada and they will come with a number of select goodies from the VW parts bin. For the three main models, there are several optional packages such as a panoramic sunroof. VW is also the first to partner with legendary guitar maker Fender which is supplying a 400watt sound system with a choice of red, yellow or blue lighting on the speaker surrounds that is selected by a switch on the dash. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no doubt VW has the pricing right on this one, and with the people packaging issue addressed, the only problem VW Canada now faces is probably trying to get enough to meet demand.

Amenities and location add value to condo complex Price from A20
py to be moving forward from the previous difficulties that Copper Sky experienced as 2008 brought a perfect storm. However, when the project encountered financial difficulties, the lenders appointed KPMG as the receiver in the fall of 2010. The receivership, to the benefit of new purchasers, has helped to remove any barriers positioning us for streamline completions. KPMG has done a remarkable job as the receiver ensuring we are able to complete our project including the amazing amenity centre. This is to the credit of Sawchuk Development and the outstanding work they have done completing the remainder of the project and completing it above standard. Normally, a top finishing product price point would not start at $159,900, but we have it here at Copper Sky thanks to our exceptional quality builders, CMHC approval and Traveler’s Canada. Q: What unique features are in the homes
Rea: Our location maximizes much of the beauty and highlights of West Kelowna. We’re a short distance the box stores and unique businesses of West Kelowna and five minutes from a stroll along Okanagan Lake. Launching points for our boater enthusiasts are close by and the spas and salons in our area will help get you ready for the evening out. It’s a 15 minute drive to the downtown Kelowna night life or to experience the Okanagan top wine producers. With Ski Resorts 30 to 60 minutes away no matter what time of year there are many activities to experience living at Copper Sky. And with a at an affordable price point you have the extra cash to do more with your free time. It’s all about easy living at Copper Sky! Q: As local developers, what have you done to respond to the changing market conditions? Rea: We are so hap-
themselves, and why are these important to your buyers? Rea: Our quality homes all have generously sized private decks with views—uncommon in a typical condo development. The project was designed around maximizing views so the design has all units and their balconies taking full advantage of the lake and mountain views. The interiors of our one and two bedroom homes are a high quality finish allowing for easy up-keep. All the suites have nine-foot high ceilings creating a pleasant, open space—complimenting the well thought out architectural use of space in each suite by maximizing every square inch. Concrete surfaces separate top and bottom floors with code standards of privacy between homes. Bedrooms are wired for wall TVs along with the main living room. Walk in/ walk through closets allow for crisp organization, accenting ad-

SHOWCASE W COPPER SKY
Price point attracting buyers A MAJOR selling point for the Copper Sky development are the amenities included within the West Kelowna condominium community.
Anita Rea, with the development team behind a West Kelowna condominium community, talks about the new project. Shauna Nyrose CONTRIBUTOR
Question: Briefly give us an overview of the Copper Sky community. Rea: Copper Sky is a remarkable condo community in West Kelowna, located on Old Okanagan Highway, with unprecedented panoramic views
of Okanagan Lake and Mission Hill winery. The project was designed around maximizing views so the design has all homes and their balconies taking full advantage of the lake and mountain views. Also, Copper Sky has a number of suite configurations ranging from one
bedroom to various two bedroom/two bathroom plans. As we are on a 99 year pre-paid ground lease, there is no HST or PTT so all of our buyers equity goes to the purchase of their home versus tax. And with price-points starting at $159,900 it’s pretty easy to see why they are selling well right now. Once we entered the market in early June, we were pleasantly surprised
by an immediate response of multiple sales in our first few weeks. We point this success directly to our sales and marketing teams—Think Marketing, Royal LePage Kelowna and our bang on price point. It’s rare to see an offering like ours grant entry at a simple $159,900– and no HST or PTT! Q: Who are your key buyer groups and why have they chosen your new community to live?
Rea: Copper Sky appeals to a wide variety of buyer groups. While many of our residents choose to live here full time, some winter elsewhere and spend their summers at Copper Sky. Our community offers a fantastic dollar for value price point to new buyers who are tired of having to compromise beauty or ingenuity for affordability. And for those who want to simplify their life-
style, Copper Sky Living offers a downsize opportunity enhancing lifestyle without compromising luxury. We’ve also had interest from parents who are looking to help their children get out of the rental cycle and into a quality home for exceptionally manageable pricing. And I must highlight how shockingly low the pricing is considering our finishing quality, intelligent design and $4.5 mil-
lion Amenity Centre. Typically, with all of these value added features, the entry level price point would come in around $260,000, but we are significantly less. We are proud to offer our buyers such great value. Q: Why would a buyer choose Copper Sky over other condo communities in the Central Okanagan? See Price A19
