rom a single name at the bottom of the page erupts a flow of connected boxes, each full of data about an ancestor.

Some are familiar names, but many are not.

Along the way are the mysteries, some of which become stories along the way: Who served in France during the war; a lunatic asylum and the school mistress who ended up there.

Tracing your roots is like putting together a puzzle. It’s intriguing and satisfying and it answers questions as well as posing some new ones.

There are many pitfalls to searching out your ancestors, but there’s a lot of help available these days too, not the least of which is the Kelowna and District Genealogical Society, which is hosting a conference in September called Harvest Your Family Tree.

CLOSE-UP

Nuts and flowers not uncommon on family trees Capital News reporter Judie Steeves did some digging into her family history with the help of the Kelowna and District Genealogical Society.

Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Turns out my ancestors were the salt of the earth—carpenters and bricklayers, millers and school mistresses.

That information is revealed in a variety of documents, some dating back to the 1600s, and confirmed in census data, marriage certificates, passenger manifests from great ships and the patient rosters of lunatic asylums.

Yes, that’s right, my great great Aunt Martha Long, who was born in 1821, was a school mistress who was committed to the Hampshire County Lunatic Asylum in 1852, the year it opened. It was renamed the Knowle Mental Hospital in 1923.

It closed in 1996. It’s not clear from the documents what precipitated her arrival there, but her mother died the same year she was committed, so perhaps that had something to do with it.

First cousin twice removed Millicent Maud Froud, who was born in 1886 in the south of England and died in North Carolina in 1968, actually petitioned for divorce in 1919 from Ebenezer Beale, rare in that era, so she was probably a character.

She left England in 1920 for the U.S., to join her fiance, cattleman George Andrew Barnett, in Spokane, Wash. They were married almost immediately on her arrival.

She was predeceased

by Barnett, who died in 1939 of tuberculosis. He

CLAIRE Smith-Burns (left) and Mary Read research the family tree for Capital News reporter Judie Steeves.

DOUG FARROW/CONTIBUTOR

was born in Chehalis, Wash. On her death certificate, she’s listed as a retired housewife, although her occupation was listed as dressmaker when she left England. (I didn’t realize housewives ever retired.)

My Gran and Gramps arrived in Quebec from Southampton, England, on June 9, 1912, on the passenger ship Ausonia, along with my mom and her older sister.

It gave me a bit of a shiver to see the ship’s

manifest with their names on it, rather like reaching back through the years and touching them, imagining what it would have been like for them, arriving in a new country with all their belongings to start a new life.

One of those belongings stands in my living-room today—an old English piano with brass candlesticks, apparently one of the possessions they didn’t feel they could do without in their new home.

It weighs a ton, as anyone who has ever helped me move knows, so I wonder who carried it across the country to Medicine Hat. If it could only talk.

And that’s just on Mom’s side of the family.

As for Dad, there’s already been considerable research done, books and papers written.

There’s even a Steeves Family Incorporated in New Brunswick, which is considered the home of the Steeves and is where

he was born.

It’s been 250 years since the Steeves name was established in the Peticodiac in 1762, anglicized from Stieff, after Rachel and Heinrich immigrated to Canada from Pennsylvania.

Of their seven sons, my line is descended from Lewis.

PEELING BACK THE LAYERS Layer by layer, like the skin of an onion, ancestral information is being peeled back, revealing

my bared roots.

First, there’s the layer I know and can picture, even if they’re no longer on this earth—my parents and their parents.

Beyond that, though, we’re digging up names that are only faint memories from way back in younger years, mostly from hearing references to Gran And Gramps, Great Grandmother and Great Grandfather and someone they all referred to as ‘Dumps,’ likely Great Uncle Afred Attrill.

But, as information is dug out, it triggers memories of stories about some of these people and that leads to new searches, armed with a tidbit of new information.

Who knew these roots would extend forever?

But then, of course, they do, don’t they?

From tap roots right out to the hair roots on the tips, they just go on forever, back in time.

Mayor’s son new president of Downtown Kelowna group

Beware of the family tree with some badly-grafted branches

Dallas Gray, with K96.3 Newcap Radio and the son of Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray, is the new president of The Downtown Kelowna Association.

Joining Gray on the executive are vice-president, Dustin Sargent— Davara Enterprises; trea-

surer, Rob Collins— Grant Thornton; secretary, Dan Allen, Doc’s Willoughby’s; past president, Andrew Brunton, Pushor Mitchell Lawyers.

Sitting on the board as directors will be: Luigi Coccaro, La Bussola; Perry Freeman, Colliers International; Heather Far-

ris, Delta Grand; Brett Lobson, Imperial Parking; Brice MacDermott, MacDermott’s & MacD’s Lakeside; Trevor Neill, Mosaic Books; Jan Johnson, Tigerlily Fashions & Alleycats; Renee Wasylyk, Troika Developments; and David Knapp, CIBC.

United Way looking for new executive director Harry Grossmith has stepped down as executive director of the United Way for the Central and South Okanagan/ Similkameen region to pursue other interests.

A search for a successor will be launched immediately.

Grossmith had served as executive director since February 2008, helping

coordinate four consecutive fundraising campaigns that each raised in excess of $1 million.. “The board thanks Mr. Grossmith for his dedicated service to the United Way and to the communities in which he helped serve,� said Alison Moscrop, United Way board chair. “We wish Harry well in his future endeavors.�

Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

There are pitfalls lurking on the Internet for those who are embarking on a search for their family roots.

For instance, when genealogist Claire SmithBurns began to trace my mother’s mother, Emily Attrill’s family roots, she discovered that while it’s not a particularly wellknown name here, it’s extremely common on the Isle of Wight, off Southern England, where my mom’s mother’s father was born.

And James Attrill was a not-uncommon name there, either. There were two of them born within a year of each other on the Isle of Wight, SmithBurns found, after adopting a family tree from someone else’s research that looked like it fit in with the other branches of my family tree.

She discovered she’d been led out onto a limb by this easy ‘graft,’ so she now had to cut it out and begin anew.

As any experienced researcher knows, only your own work can be considered reliable, so it’s important not to build on someone else’s foundations. “Family trees posted on Ancestry.ca and elsewhere on the Internet can be fraught with error. Often these trees are a result of compilations where family tree researchers have grafted several branches of other people’s family research onto their own tree,� says Smith-Burns. “As in this example, they are not being careful about proving that the branches belong on their tree, but just trying to grow their family tree by fitting on branches using minimal proof.�

Some impossible re-

‘‘ IT IS EASY TO BE LED DOWN THE WRONG PATH IN GENEALOGY‌ Claire Smith-Burns, genealogist

lationships can result, such as an actual instance in which my third greatgrandmother born in 1799 ended up with a son born in 1763, 36 years before she was even born.

Research culminating in that branch of the family tree obviously had gone awry, she notes.

In another instance, on one branch of the family tree the research indicated that a 105-year-old woman would have given birth.

“It is easy to be led down the wrong path in genealogy, so be sure to do your own research using reliable sources and recording what you found and where you found it,� she advises. “Do not move on to the next generation until you have found solid evidence for all the important events for the ancestor in your current generation of inquiry.�

Names are a fascinating part of the search.

They are often repeated throughout the family, but that also can be misleading.

My middle name and my granny’s middle name are the same, and my daughter was named Emily after her. My grandson carries the same middle name as his grandfather.

It’s about families; family trees and ancestors. We were born with them and we can’t escape them.

Accessible methods to trace ancestral history generates genealogy interest Family from A3 We are the product of all those ancestors, from beyond where we are able to go in our searches.

And our children and grandchildren are the next recipients of all those combined personalities, health qualities and physical traits of all that went before—plus our own contribution.

Wheezy, sneezy, cheery, sunny, fat and thin are all determined to some extent by our genes, supplied by our ancestors. They’re what makes us, well, us.

Which may explain why there’s so much interest these days in digging around in our roots, trying to unearth the reasons why we are who we are.

In the absence of live ancestors to whom such questions can be

posed, there are many websites, libraries, church and community archives, and other sources to which you can turn to research your family tree.

In fact, the Internet has become a great boon for genealogy enthusiasts, providing a shortcut to all sorts of information stored in databases all over the world, wherever someone has taken the trouble to digitize the data and upload it.

Digging among your roots is possible from the comfort of your favourite chair today.

However, beware the temptation of the easy dig and don’t graft branches of someone else’s research efforts onto your family tree just because there appear to be some links.

Claire Smith-Burns has been involved for many years with the Kelowna and District Genealogic-

al Society. She is conference 2012 chairperson for Harvest Your Family Tree, where she hopes to see hundreds of people interested in researching their family trees attend workshops to learn more during the Sept. 28 to 30 event at Okanagan College.

This three-day genealogical conference and marketplace is Western Canada’s largest since 1998. It will include talks by seven internationally-acclaimed speakers as well as dozens of workshops for people at all levels of experience.

People must pre-register, but there are some free sessions, including the open house, marketplace and reference help and you can just register for a single workshop.

Bus tour focus on second-hand shopping

Wade Paterson

STAFF REPORTER

Two local ladies are hoping to show Kelowna and Westside women that shopping can still be enjoyed during tough economic times.

Heather Fedoruk and Val Levy are gearing up for their inaugural Bustin’ Loose event: A full day of shopping that will tour local women through three second-hand shops in Kelowna and the clothing section of Superstore in West Kelowna.

An air-conditioned bus will take the women to each destination; breakfast, lunch and a wine tasting will also be provided.

“Times are tough for everybody, we just wanted to show people they can shop for less and still get a great look,” said Fedoruk, organizer of Bustin’ Loose.

The journey starts June 9 at 7:45 a.m. at West Kelowna Superstore. The bus will stop at Starbucks for breakfast before continuing on to Rosebuds Designer Consignment and Sparrow’s Nest Vintage Shop and Studio.

“Sparrow’s Nest is more of a home decor shop with vintage style furniture from 1940 to 1970. They’re opening both stores up an hour early for us,” said Fedoruk.

Next on the schedule is Value Village for an hourand-a-half of shopping.

After a Wendy’s lunch and a wine tasting at Little Straw Vineyard, the women will make their final stop at Superstore to check out the clothes section.

The cost for a spot on the bus is $70. If women bring a friend, the cost drops to $60; if they bring two or more friends, the cost is $50 each. There is

“There’s a gal in the community who is in need of many things. She, through no fault of her own, has not been able to access them through normal sources. We’re hoping some of our proceeds can be used to help her get a leg up—she doesn’t know that we’re going to do it,” said Levy.

letter of the week

Fletcher’s column doesn’t take pesticides seriously

To the editor: Tom Fletcher’s column, Premier Bitten by Pest Problem That Won’t Go Away, is almost laughable and borders on the absurd.

It is interesting to note that Mr. Fletcher covered the pesticide issue 25 years ago when EarthCare appealed a Ministry of Forests permit to spray two tonnes of pesticides in the Mission-Belgo watershed. If he had really followed that issue he would have found out that the Ministry never did spray in the watershed and when EarthCare appealed the Environmental Appeal Board’s decsion, the B.C. court appeal of the case set a precedent across Canada. That precedent called for the consderation of alternatives to pesticides to be considered before pesticides are applied.

Mr. Fletcher correctly portrays MLA Bill Bennett as the ‘rifle-toting outdoorsman’ sitting on a provincial committee examining pesticides who states: “The public aversion to common lawn and garden herbicides is based on ‘chemophobia.’”

Scenes from the trenches down on the farm

W

ith ongoing pipeline and oil tanker skirmishes, and a hot summer for mining and logging still to come, the green war in B.C. shows no signs of slowing down.

Things are already hot in the Fraser Valley, where the federal government’s change to the definition of fish habitat has opened a new front on the farms.

Farmers briefly got into the public discussion by hauling a couple of cute calves into downtown Vancouver and staging a TV-friendly demo in front of the federal fisheries office. They have been saying for decades that imposing salmon stream regulations on drainage ditches around their fields is impractical.

Fraser Valley ConVICTORIA VIEWS servative MPs Randy

Kamp and Mark Strahl even had the nerve to meet with local mayors to hear their concerns about B.C.’s most proTom ductive farmland, withFletcher out inviting self-appointed “activists.”

Arrayed against them is an environmental lobby whose deep green wing was defined by Marvin Rosenau, a former provincial biologist who now teaches “fish, wildlife and recreation technology” at BCIT. “Mark Strahl is leading the charge of eco-fascists intent on making the last dime off the backs of the last remnants of an absolutely spectacular ecosystem,” Rosenau told the Chilliwack Progress. “A massive and productive floodplain of fish and aquatic values

… has been drained, ditched, tiled and laser-leveled for agricultural profit.”

The same could be said for the broad fields of Richmond and Pitt Polder farms north of the Fraser, a wetland diked and drained by Dutch settlers after World War II. Farms are “industrializing the landscape,” said Rosenau, who stopped short of calling for them all to be shut down.

At the provincial level we have a new Animal Health Act, which threatens heavy fines or even jail time for prematurely leaking reports of serious animal disease outbreaks. This was also portrayed as a jack-booted sellout of the public’s right to know, putting the business interests of land and ocean farms ahead of public safety.

Here’s what’s really happening.

As is generally the case with meat inspection and livestock issues, the federal government is imposing rules on

provinces in the wake of avian flu and “mad cow” outbreaks. Canadian beef was banned in 30 countries after a single infected cow was identified in Alberta in 2003.

B.C. Agriculture Minister Don McRae assures me this legislation will not result in reporters or environmental activists being thrown in jail for telling the public about sick animals. They and the farmers themselves can say all they want, once infections are confirmed and quarantines established.

McRae and Paul Kitching, B.C.’s chief veterinarian, pleaded for the public to understand that any farm reporting system must rely on voluntary compliance by farmers.

Lithium batteries very dangerous to kids To the editor: On Sunday, May 27, I attended Family Fun Day at the Parkinson Rec Centre.

At one of the kiosks inside the building they were giving out round red reflective safety flashers to

the children. The flashers had red lights in them that blinked to enable them to be seen in the dark.

My friend’s child got one of them and somehow, after going down a slide, the flasher came apart and the small batter-

ies fell out. That is when we became aware that the flashers contained those thin round lithium batteries.

A word of warning to any mother who got one of those flashers for their child—they are very dan-

gerous. We recently saw a program on TV that alerted parents to the hazard lithium batteries pose. Apparently these small batteries generate an enormous amount of heat and if a child swallows one of the batteries it can

burn through the stomach lining and cause death.

Therefore, in order to prevent a tragedy please take action and remove these flashers from your child. Thank you.

City is not maintaining bicycling lanes To the editor: As a regular bike commuter to work and around town from April to October, I have noticed a significant deterioration this spring in the city’s maintenance of many of the designated bike roadways.

If the City truly wants to promote Bike-to-Work Week, this deterioration should be addressed.

Bike lane paint has faded to the point of invisibility in many parts of the city, particularly on the Chute Lake-Lakeshore Road corridor I commute every day, and older streets around downtown and the surrounding core.

Street sweeping of bike lanes seems non-existant in the two months since spring gravel removal and

the spilled debris from trucks and dump trucks and from unpaved sidings and side roads, is accumulating in the bike lanes in a very hazardous way. Bike lane potholes and warning barriers obliterate the continuity of the bike lanes, and remain unrepaired for months, forcing bikes into the roadway and peril.

The City of Kelow-

na had made significant strides over the past few years to improve cycling infrastructure, building the dedicated bike paths on Gordon Drive from H2O to Raymer, along part of Lakeshore Road between the beaches, along Clement Avenue from Gordon to Spall, and more obvious and visible bike lane paint designation along

Enterprise Way. But unless they are as serious about maintaining the bike lanes as they are in maintaining the motor vehicle part of the roadways, they are just putting both cyclists and motor vehicle drivers at risk of collision and injury.

Birds affect water quality, not treated sewage

To the editor: Mr. Drinnan’s letter posted in your letters to the editor section of your paper on May 25, regarding water quality at Cedar Avenue beach area, has some very serious inaccuracies that your readers need to be aware of.

Mr. Drinnan is correct in reporting the findtings reported in the City’s 2004 Cedar Avenue Land Use Plan. However, he then suggests that the water quality in this bay is impacted by sanitary sewer pipes and effluent from the City’s wastewater treatment plant, which is

t

completely false.

All sanitary sewerage from homes and businesses is piped to the City’s wastewater treatment facility located on Raymer Avenue. This plant recently completed a $60 million upgrade and expansion to handle the needs of the community for the next 20 years. The sewage is treated to an extremely high standard through a tertiary treatment system which results in an effluent that is quite close to Canadian Drinking Water Quality Guidelines.

The effluent from the plant then travels through

a pipeline that goes some 500 meters out into Okanagan Lake before being released at a depth of approximately 65 meters through a series of diffusers to ensure good mixing.

This effluent has no impact to lake water quality at Cedar Avenue.

Included in that treatment is removal of fecal coliform bacteria—the factor that is impacting swimming water quality at Cedar Avenue. Swimming standards allow for up to 200 units of fecal bacteria per 100 ml. The effluent from the plant averages around one unit

per 100 ml.

Studies done of the Cedar Avenue beach area in the late 1990s and early 2000s found that upstream waterfowl on Fascieux Creek, poor water circulation and shallow water contributed to high fecal coliform counts exceeding swimming standards. The public beach has been posted, with advice from Interior Health, for no swimming since that time.

Citizens should be aware that two ducks can produce as many fecal coliforms as 11 human beings putting their raw

sewage in the lake. It is for that reason the City’s Parks Branch, in conjunction with other valley municipalities, has an aggressive duck and geese control program around city beaches to ensure safe swimming water quality for our citizens and tourists.

Council has directed staff to do new monitoring of Cedar Avenue beach water quality this year to see if the quality has changed.

John Vos, general manager community services, City of Kelowna

Think of the children when spreading pesticides Pesticide from A8 This type of comment shows why he should not be on a committee exploring a provincial pesticide ban. The fact that he listened to pro pesticide activists who get their info from pesticide companies and not the Canadian Cancer Society explains

his pro-pesticide stance.

Mr. Fletcher talks about how pesticides are safe and that “these complex organic compounds break down in a short period to simpler, common components that pose no threat” This is not true.

Pesticides, including Roundup breakdown

into different metabolites that can be more toxic and can exist in the environment for over a year. If pesticides are so benign then why have so many pesticides over the last 25 years been removed from the market. Why has the province of Quebec imposed a provincial ban on cosmetic pesticides? Why

Inspecting farmland not practical Fletcher from A8 Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham and began releasing fish farm inspection data in 2010, the operators stopped providing samples voluntarily. The fish farmers’ position was that you can have a co-operative system of farm inspections or one that’s imposed, but not both.

Imposing inspections on land farms across B.C.’s vast area is even less practical. Former Alberta premier Ralph Klein famously observed that the next rancher to find a possible mad cow should have “shot, shoveled and shut up” rather than file a report and devastate the industry.

Denham, the NDP and others appear to oper-

ate under an assumption that there should be sufficient government resources to sample and inspect every farm across B.C. for reportable contagious illnesses. This is similar to the fashionable notion that we should have enough park rangers to guard every cedar tree.

Tom Fletcher is Black Press legislative reporter. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

have 40 communities in B.C. implemented pesticide bylaws, including Kelowna?

The most irritating aspect of Mr. Fletcher’s column and Mr. Bennett’s comments is their total disregard for children. It has been proven that chil-

dren are one of the most vulnerable sectors of society and should be protected from exposure to pesticides.

What happened to the precautionary approach?

Dating game favours the men Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Turns out the scuttlebutt is true.

Kelowna has an abundance of women, and not nearly as many men.

According to Canda Census figures released earlier this week, there are 61,030 women in Kelowna compared to 56,280 men.

Those who are worried it creates some sort of inequity, however, can rest easy.

According to Julie Clitheroe, owner of Magnetix dating agency,

there’s more than enough pairing opportunities.

“There is a perception that there are way more single women than men, but it’s not the case,” she said.

“From my perspective, being at a dating agency, there are a lot of amazing single men in Kelowna— they just socialize differently.”

Kelowna may be a “playground of arts, culture, business and sport,” she said, but hobbies aren’t necessarily ideal ground for meeting someone new.

“I know men who just

go to work, then to Home Depot and then home again to work on their houses,” she said.

“Unless a woman is hanging out the in the (hardware store) she may never meet them. It’s hard to meet good quality people, but they’re there.”

Clitheroe has all sorts of solutions for dating woes, but the census shows that they may be best applied to a demographic that’s likely retired from the dating scene.

From birth until 45 years-old, the men to women ratio is pretty even.

It starts to diverge after

that, and by the 85-plus mark, women double men in numbers.

By the numbers.

STAFF REPORTER

Despite an early peak caused by a torrential downpour in April, this year’s runoff from melting snow has slowed and the risk of flooding has diminished considerably.

In fact, emergency services coordinator Jason Brolund figures only an extreme weather event would be likely to cause flooding this year.

Snow at low to middle elevations around the valley has now melted, and only high elevation snow remains to run off, such as the 400 millimetres at the height of the Mission Creek watershed.

“The Mission Creek discharge is well within what it’s capable of, and things have improved in the past week, with cooler weather,” Brolund reports.

The runoff peaked this year April 26, much earlier than normal, largely because of a full day of heavy rain which

occurred at the same time as snow was melting and running off.

Des Anderson, section head for public safety and protection for the forests, lands and natural resource operations ministry, said inflows are diminishing from Okanagan Lake enough that they cut back on the outflow early this week.

The weather has been ideal for an orderly snow melt this year, with cool nights to slow it down and no major weather systems except for the one in April.

Except for that, it’s been a normal year for lake level management during the snowmelt period, he said.

The remainder of the high elevation snow is expected to melt and run off in the coming weeks.

Okanagan Lake is still 29 centimetres below full pool, and it’s possible the lake may not even reach that level this year, he said. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Flood fears evaporate with weather conditions

(Orchard Plaza Professional Building)

Righting what it called a mistake earlier this week in the House of Commons, the federal NDP introduced a motion Thursday calling for a standing vote on a private members bill aimed at allowing free trade in wine among Canadian provinces.

The vote on Bill C-311 will take place June 6.

Although Bill C-311 was already scheduled for debate on June 6, thanks to Liberal Nova Scotia MP Scott Brison, the NDP motion effectively calls for that debate to be bypassed and instead proceed directly to a standing vote.

The private members bill was presented by Okanagan-Coquihalla MP Dan Albas, after first being introduced two years ago

Dan Albas

by Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan.

The NDP motion, supported by all members of the House of Commons, will bring certainty to the bill and prevent further delays, said Abas.

The motion was introduced in response to a “mistake” by the NDP earlier in the week when its MPs filibustered debate on the bill, delaying it and, in Albas’ words, “provoked considerable

outrage from Canadian wine consumers and the wine industry alike.”

“As it was the NDP who were the source of the uncertainty, this motion makes it clear that the NDP will now be in support of the bill going forward to the Senate and that is something I am very encouraged to see,” said Albas.

He commended the NDP for “doing the right thing” and supporting the B.C. wine industry.”

The local MP said he is hopeful the bill will pass through the Senate by the end of June. If passed into law, the bill would remove federal barriers to the transport of wine from one province to another and allow Canadians to buy wine from wineries in other provinces to take home, or to have it shipped to their homes.

Airport runway $4 million repaving called a needed safety measure Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Think of it as road resurfacing for planes.

Work will begin on Kelowna International Airport’s runway this summer, with 7,300 feet of the airport’s 8,900-foot runway being repaved as a part of the airport’s “Drive to 1.6” passenger development program.

The program is preparing the airport for handling 1.6 million passengers, which is expected to occur in 2015.

So far this year, the airport has set records each months for passenger numbers and is currently 4.5 per cent ahead of where it was at this time last year.

Last year, the airport saw 1.4 million passengers pass through the terminal.

According to airport officials, with safety being the top priority at YLW, the airport conducts annual maintenance filling cracks and potential holes in the runway.

But it has been 26 years since a complete rejuvenation of the runway has occurred, so the $4 million repaving will take place over the next 12 weeks.

“Our runway is used by 62 commercial daily flights serving 1.4 million passengers annually, in addition more than 100 cargo, maintenance and private aircraft uses can occur daily,” said airport director Sam Samaddar. “The runway overlay is necessary to ensure the runway is maintained in peak operating condition for the safe arrival and departure of aircraft.”

While owned and operated by the city, the airport is financially self-supporting and the repav-

ing work will be paid for by revenues raised through YLW’s airport improvement fee charged on every ticket for a flight leaving Kelowna.

Work is scheduled to begin on Monday, June 4, and is expected to be completed by Aug. 24.

The runway will be closed from 11 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., depending on the weather, in order to do the work.

No scheduled commercial flights will be affected during this closures and the runway will be ready for use during the day.

In 2008, the runway was extended to 8,900 feet from 7,300 feet during a nighttime construction scheduled.

Engineering reports at that time suggested the older portion of the runway should be resurfaced between 2010 and 2013. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

that weekend was driving into the lake, below the high water mark, what some call mud bogging.

Conservation Officer Terry Myroniuk warns that they plan some aggressive enforcement ef-

forts against mud bogging at local lakes such as Grizzly and wetlands such as those just up the Postill Lake Forest Service Road. Fines begin at $575.

He notes that it’s also illegal to drive ATVs or dirt bikes on forest service roads without liability insurance, and they will be enforcing that.

Incidentally, there’s an event sponsored by the Okanagan Trail Riders’ Association called the Ride For Dad being held this month to raise funds to fight prostate cancer.

It’s at the Bear Creek Off-Highway Vehicle trail system up Bear Main logging road Sunday, June 24, with registration starting at 8 a.m. and the ride beginning at 10 a.m.

The $25 entry fee includes lunch at La Casa overlooking Okanagan Lake. Pledge forms, OTRA membership or day use permits are available at dealerships and from members.

Be aware that there’s now a day pass fee of $10 to use those new trails in the Bear Creek area, or $50 for an annual pass, similar to fees for other enhanced recreation sites and trails elsewhere in the province, including snowmobile trails, ski trails and other recreation sites.

There are also site hosts at the campground at the Aspen Trailhead, one kilometre past the old

Lower Pits, but there’s no charge for camping there.

Remember that vehicles must have a spark arrestor and be emitting noise that is 96 decibels or less.

There are lots of other events coming up this month, including fishing for kids every weekend at Mission Creek Regional Park at the Hall Road pond and at Shannon Lake Regional Park in the netted-off bay, where catchable trout have been stocked and staff from the regional district or volunteers from local fishing clubs will be available to help teach them how to cast a line.

At Shannon Lake, there’s also a youth fly fishing day June 2, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., for ages 10 to 18, with instruction from members of the Westside’s Peachland Sportsman’s Association.

If you can help, you would be most welcome as well. Enjoy a barbecue and learn how to tie flies along with casting a line.

Those over 16 will need to have a valid fishing licence.

The annual Father’s Day fishing derby will be held Saturday, June 16 by the PSA at Shannon Lake, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with prizes and a barbecue.

Police still can’t enforce the Kelowna noise pollution bylaw Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Don’t expect an immediate reprieve from the roar of motorcycle and boat engines.

Const. Kris Clark said a bylaw council introduced last year to dampen noise pollution was put on hold, and therefore won’t be enforced by Kelowna Mounties.

“Supt. Bill McKinnon has been in talks with the provincial government over proposed legislation regarding the same issue,” said Clark, adding they’re waiting on action from that branch of government before they move forward.

“A bylaw currently exists to deal with noisy boats/music, etc., which we will continue to en-

force as we do now.”

Clark pointed out the Motor Vehicle Act also allows for some enforcement in regard to unnecessary noise coming from engines, exhaust and brake systems.

It’s the same bundle of regulations, however, that McKinnon told a June city council meeting was ineffective.

To give the police a better ability to curtail frustrating noise makers, he asked for a bylaw similar to Edmonton’s. It would allow police to give hefty tickets to anyone whose vehicle was producing 92 decibels of sound while idling. When driving, the maximum acceptable noise would be 96 decibels.

It made it past the first three readings, but imple-

mentation would have required investment in decibel readers and training, and Kelowna city clerk Stephen Fleming said council told police to hold off on big buys until some conditions were met, such as a citywide educational campaign.

In the lead-up, however, the provincial government got involved.

“One of the challenges of the bylaw, is it would have been patchwork enforcement dependant on the jurisdiction,” said Fleming.

“You’d be legal in one area then you’d drive past a municipal boundary, and then you’re not.”

No deadline on the province’s potential regulations have been put forth.

Class valedictorian taught herself valuable lifelong lesson

I

recently attended an event that has left me feeling much more cultured than I did previously.

This sense of urbaneness is the result of a rare occasion, where in one single night I witnessed fire dancing, a hoedown, and whatever you call it when a group of teenagers convulse to dub step.

This was the legendary event called after-

CONNECTING WITH YOUTH

Amber Krogel grad. In addition to feeling cultured, I also left deprived of sleep, covered in hairspray and smelling of campfire smoke and other

people’s sweat.

But by now, I have showered and caught up on sleep, and all the fuss leading up to graduation has faded away.

To be honest, I was actually quite apprehensive about my grad weekend.

I continually worried about whether or not someone would have the same earrings as me, and I was plagued by the thought of falling down

the speech, and I reached the podium with an incredibly pasty mouth, spoke for eight minutes and 34 seconds (which really felt like just 34 seconds), and took my seat again by my classmates.

It was over, and I was so glad that I did it. I actually enjoyed it, and now have an incredible experience to look back on, as well as a pretty cool valedictorian sash.

It’s strange to think that I almost sacrificed all these positive things and more because of the one negative aspect of nervousness. But we often give up amazing opportunities and experi-

ences simply because we’re scared to do something outside of our comfort zone.

The classic example of this is skydiving, but there are other countless experiences that come up more often in our daily lives.

Maybe you’re wanting to apply for that job, but are afraid you won’t get it. Maybe you’re wanting to talk to that person beside you at the bus stop, but you feel like all that’s going to come out of it will be a Facebook status starting with “That awkward moment when…”

Maybe it’s applying

For the record: Corrections noted In a recent MP’s report column submitted by Kelowna-Lake Country MP Ron Cannan, he was identified as being a Liberal MP, when in fact he is with the Conservative Party. *** A story that appeared in the May 29 edition of the Capital News contained incorrect information. Walter Gray was not the mayor of Kelowna when plans for three supportive housing projects—Willowgate, Tutt Street Place and the New Gate apartments—were drawn up. That planning occurred four years ago when Sharon Shepherd was mayor. Gray was mayor in 2005 when

plans were announced for the another supportive housing project, the controversial Cardington Apartments on St. Paul Street downtown. *** The headline kicker to a story in Thursday’s edition of the Capital News about an award for Education Advocate of the Year won by Edna Terbasket incorrectly identified the story as being about Pauline Terbasket.

Pauline is executive director of the Okanagan Nation Alliance. Edna is the executive director of the Ki-Lo-Na Friendship Society and member of the UBCO Aboriginal Advisory Council.

One of the biggest things on my mind was having to make my valedictorian speech.

Over the following days after initially being asked to be valedictorian, I felt nauseous every time I thought about speaking in front of such a large group of people.

I questioned whether or not I really wanted to do it, and I tried to practice imagining people in their underwear (I still don’t understand how that is supposed to make you feel more comfortable).

ENTERTAINMENT GO Party at the Kelowna Art Gallery Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

This spring, as the Kelowna Art Gallery hosts its sixth GO Party—themed illuminate—the arts community will be mixing mediums.

Celebrating everything from the art of cocktails to the art of music, visual art and the art of a good “to do” under a canopy of lanterns, the gallery hopes to draw new people to its doors like June bugs to light.

“We wanted to find a way to take our regular opening celebration…and crank it up a notch,” said KAG spokesman Kris Johnson, noting the GO Party concept stands for “gallery opening.”

“We want to show off what we do here,” Johnson said. “We’re about

more than just hanging art on the walls.”

From kids summer camps, dubbed Art Adventures, to a myriad of adult programs including some for the vision impaired, the gallery shines a light on the visual arts, supporting creativity in all its forms and fostering artistic spirit throughout the community.

Hence, playing alongside the cocktail mixers from Urban Distilleries and Okanagan Spirits, and bartenders pouring Mission Hill Family Estate wine and Tree Brewing Company beer, two young musicians will serenade guests with what Johnson describes as “music that paints a landscape.”

“I’m mostly doing original stuff,” said Thomas Kjorven. “I do play around with a few cov-

ers—but it’s nothing like you’ve heard before.

“I play a loop pedal, so I’m composing live in front of you.”

Described as a blues, neo-soul, hip hop and folk musician, the 25-year-old garnered a Best New Artist Award at the BC Interior Music Awards after arriving here via Vancouver last year.

He will be joined by Jeff Piattelli, another talented young local generally filed as an acoustic rock singer/songwriter with a John Mayer flair.

The evening will include a summer-themed buffet, door prizes and silent auction, a photo studio, four exhibitions, lantern making and lawn bocce.

Held on one of the longest days of the year, the event is also meant

Moraine Estate Winery on Naramata Bench

W

elcome new Moraine Estate Winery to Naramata wine country. Proprietors Oleg and Svetlana Aristarkhov are thrilled with their beautiful new property and are looking forward to welcoming visitors to their new tasting room this summer.

The Aristarkhov’s moved here from Alberta after falling in love with the Okanagan and deciding to purchase a winery. They “believe that wine offers one of life’s most simple, enjoyable and accessible pleasures,” and are looking forward

FOOD & WINE TRAILS

Jennifer Schell to sharing their passion through their own label.

Oleg says “our goal here is to produce small lot, high quality wines”.

The name Moraine, which is a glacially formed rocky landscape, was chosen to recognize and celebrate the distinct land formation of the Naramata Bench that

has provided their unique terroir.

The winery’s vineyards have been christened Anastasia and Sophia after their two daughters.

The couple is also pleased to have the highly respected Pierre Levesque as their vineyard manager.

The 12-year-old Anastasia Estate vineyard is planted with merlot, pinot gris, viognier, malbec, cabernet franc, shiraz and riesling grapes with the smaller Sophia vineyard currently growing pinot noir.

This spring they will be releasing four wines:

Cliffhanger White, Pinot Gris, Viognier and a Meritage.

In the fall, stay turned for the release of another blend: Cliffhanger Red. Through a contract with Okanagan Crash Pad, Michael Bartier is the winemaker at Moraine and in his signature style has created a solid line up of quaffable, affordable wines that will be a welcome addition to your summer wine lists.

The 2011 Cliffhanger White retails for $23.

This crisp, light Pinot Gris features boisterous notes of grapefruit that screams summer. The

2011 vintage Pinot Gris retails for $23.

Luscious and rich with lots of pineapple and hints of vanilla, this Gris delivers a mouthful of flavour.

The 2011 Viognier also goes for $23.

This fashionable grape is represented in a very fresh, light style. Lemon zest, peaches and a crisp finish make for a treat on a hot summer’s day.

Lambert sucks while Trucks right on ADAM LAMBERT: TRESPASSING (19/RCA) This was last week’s number one selling album in Canada but Trespassing seems to have lived up to its title as a temporary interloper at the top of the charts.

Adam Lambert’s new album burst on the scene for committed fans who snapped it up. But in its second week this album has barely remained in the top 10, being replaced by John Mayer’s new long player that is getting great notices while Lambert’s disc is getting mixed reviews.

As mentioned, this new disc is titled Trespassing but it could also be called plagiarism given the all too obvious influences. The opening cut and title track sounds like a disco makeover of Queen’s Another One Bites The Dust while the dance-pop of Kickin’ In sounds like a lost Michael Jackson or Prince b-side.

There is the lame stream, straight-up radio fodder of Cuckoo while the great Nile Rogers as collaborator lends his

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell Chic disco rythmics of Freak Out to the club song Shady.

The odd thing is, Lambert has co-written songs with a lot of star maker outside help with the aforementioned Nile as well as Bruno Mars, Nikka Costa, Pharrel Williams and Sam Sparro, yet this disc sounds overly derivative and short on ideas and you have to wonder who has the main failings.

The album is also dragged down by being unbalanced—the first half of this album has all the up-tempo, dance-pop songs while the second half is overloaded with mundane power ballads.

But Trespassing is even further undermined by a 15-track Bonus Edition CD that tacks on an additional three more power ballads that only

hardcore fans could appreciate.

While the disc has its moments, they get overwhelmed by the length of the bonus CD that seems to drag on forever.

At age 30 Adam Lambert may not have grown out of his dance club fantasies but he is starting to look like the oldest guy in the joint on this party disc that has no brain teasers at all.

TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND: LIVE, EVERYBODY’S TALKIN’ (SONY) They were huge winners at last year’s Grammy Awards and Blues Awards with multiple wins and the hubby and wife team of Butch Trucks and Susan Tedeschi are consolidating their successes with this new two-CD concert album.

With all their accolades it might seem as if Everybody’s Talkin’ is an apt title for the Tedeschi Trucks Band and their debut live release as it was as a live/jam ensemble that got the ball rolling for

this dynamic duo.

Tedeschi is a fine sixstring bender in her own right but it is her gritty vocals that sound like a blend of Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin that really adds to the group’s music.

Trucks is a force of nature with his slide guitar solos and he offers up many extended jams on this 11-track two-disc set.

There are a few choice originals here from the band’s studio albums but the bulk of this concert is made up of interesting and unexpected cover songs.

Most blues-based groups go back to gems from reliable sources like Robert Johnson or the Chess/Checker catalogue but not Trucks & Tedeschi.

The title song is a great adaption of Fred Neil’s smash from the soundtrack to Midnight Cowboy while there are also cool makeovers of The Loving Spoonful’s Darling Be Home Soon (that clocks in at 10:23), Stevie Wonder’s Uptight (16:08) and Sam Cooke’s gospel evergreen Wade In The Water (8:33).

The lone standard repertoire blues song comes from the pen of Elmore James and his fine Rollin’ And Tumblin’ that gets a jazzy jam makeover by this 11-member cast.

If I have one complaint it’s that the band could have used a bit more in the arrangements especially the three horns that are not all that prominent in the mix.

But then again, it is Butch Trucks guitar dynamics that really sell this music and the ecstatic applause after every extended solo cannot be denied.

A talent to watch Mitchell from A20 Nelson where, as a young teen, he made good weekend money playing in an all-disco cover band known as Shag.

But this new album was recorded in LA with ace producer Jon Levine (Nelly Furtado, Kreesha Turner) and it carries a club-slash-arena mix.

The lead off song Planet Earth mixes a little Bono-like vocals over the arena-styled rock of Coldplay with its strong hooks and solid beats that should become a hit.

But the rest of this album is pretty good too.

Check out the minor New Order nods on Shadows co-written by Better Than Ezra’s Kevin Griffin and the lusty dance-rock of Every Red Light cowritten with Wide Mouth Mason’s Sean Verrault as well as the punky middle finger rock of Fool.

Hook proves to be a solid electro-balladeer with the (again) Coldplay-styled Rockstaria while the closing song is an acoustic demo-styled version of Every Red Light as Shawn Hook is almost certainly going to promote this album in small venues rather than arenas where this music is mostly aimed. A talent to watch.

SPORTS Mt. Bou players make conversion to university teams Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

A pair of Mount Boucherie football players have turned exemplary high school football careers into post secondary opportunities at Canadian universities.

Jarrett Young and Josh Fender—two of just five seniors on the Mount Boucherie Bears senior boys football team this year—have both been offered scholarships to continue playing football.

Young will attend Simon Fraser University this fall while Fender is traveling East, to the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Both will attend their respective training camps in August and may red-shirt in their first season, meaning they will practice with the team for the first year before seeing playing action.

For Young, 18, it was an opportunity that came about after just one year as a starting receiver and just three years of football.

“It’s exciting,” said Young, a speedy 6-foot4 first team all star with the Bears this year. “This was my first year start-

ing at receiver. It’s going to be a challenge. University is a big jump. I went and watched a game and they are all big boys. I need to bulk up, get faster and learn my position a bit better.”

SFU plays its football in the NCAA Div. II league and is the only Canadian school that is in the NCAA. On the other hand, the University of Alberta is a CIS school, playing at the highest level of Canadian post-secondary sports.

Fender, 17, says it will be a big step up from high school.

“The biggest thing is just the speed and the size and the skill levels,” said Fender, who was recruited as a linebacker but in high school played nearly every position. “It’s going to take a lot of work to get to the point where I will be a contributor.”

Young and Fender helped lead a Bears football team that was very young this year. Despite missing six games to injury, Fender was also named an all star. The pair also played together on the Bears basketball team.

MOUNT BOUCHERIE football player JarrettYoung is off to Simon Fraser University this fall to begin an NCAA Div. II football career.

DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

BEARS football player Josh Fender has signed a letter of intent to play college football at the University of Alberta in Edmonton.

Godwin says both players had excellent athletic and academic careers while at Mount Boucherie.

“As Josh got healthier

towards the end of the season he made a major impact, both with his individual play and his ability to lead others,” said God-

win. “He is the type of kid who could have started for any program in the province; there is always a spot for big, strong, instinctive football players who can also maintain excellent grades in the class room.”

As for Young, Godwin says the wide receiver broke out this year.

“Jarrett really came into his own during a solid off-season,” he said. “Jarrett is a tall receiver who isn’t afraid to attack the ball in the air but he really became an offensive threat as he developed more speed. He is a willing blocker and some of his biggest highlights this

past season were big hits rather than touchdowns.”

Along with Young and Fender, two other seniors are also looking to continue their careers in the CIS as Thomas Lammers and Dylan Hoogveld are expected to try to walk on with the University of Toronto.

Coach Godwin says the seniors from this year did a good job in leading by example and hand the Bears football program off to a large group of Grade 11s.

“We didn’t have a lot of seniors last season and our growing pains were apparent on the field,” said Godwin. “However, this year we have a large group of experienced guys who got a lot of playing time as Grade 11’s. I expect a strong team this season, and a strong recruiting class in terms of guys moving on to the next level.”

That’s exactly what Jarrett Young and Josh Fender are doing as they get set for off season training leading up to the first year of their post secondary football careers. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Bunce to training camp in hopes of trip to Brazil Kelowna basketball player Braxton Bunce is one step closer to being named to Team Canada’s Junior National Development Team.

Bunce will leave for Toronto Saturday morning for a week-long training camp in advance of the FIBA Americas Bas-

ketball Championships in Brazil June 16 to 20.

The 6-foot-11 Bunce is among 17 hopefuls still remaining in Team Canada’s training camp with 12 expected to make the trip to Brazil. The final cuts will be made sometime next week. Bunce survived the first set of cuts

after a three day tryout in Toronto late last month.

“I feel confident in my spot but there is no guarantee,” said Bunce, a KSS grad who is among three players vying for what is likely two spots at the centre position. “If I go in and keep doing what I did last week I think I will be fine.

I’m optimistic going into camp.”

Bunce may have a hand up on the other centre hopefuls as last summer he made the Team Canada Junior Development squad that played in the World Championships. This year he feels like he can play more of

a roll.

“I definitely feel a lot stronger this year,” said Bunce, who was named the B.C. high school basketball player of the year this season. “I’m a lot more confident in my game and overall I’m stronger and my body feels better.”

Bunce will begin an NCAA basketball career at Cornell University this fall.

Fellow KSS basketball star Mitch Goodwin was also at the first set of tryouts but failed to make the cut.

Consistency pays off for Mustangs

r

With no B.C. high school A golf championfship to defend this year due to job action by B.C. tteachers, the Immaculata Mustangs went out and found a title to win anyway.

In a dramatic conclusion, the Mustangs downed the host team from Osoyoos in a playoff this week to capture the Provincial High School Invitational. f Immaculata overcame a five-shot deficit in the second and final round tof competition on Tuesday to finish in a tie with Osoyoos at 610.

Five players on each tteam competed in a onehole (par 3) playoff with the Mustangs emerging victorious by a single stroke.

“It was an exciting finish, I felt badly for Osoyoos, they started with the lead and played extremely well,” said Immaculata coach Christa Kueber.

“Our guys were just extremely consistent, and we were able to capitalize in the playoff.

“The playoff experience was great for all 10 of those kids.”

Steven Lee led the charge for Immaculata on the final day with a round of 74. Michael Lee, James Casorso and Cole Baldigara all shot 75s, while Kennedy Gorges came in at 78. Lauren Rutherglen was also a member of the championship team.

Lee tied for second place in the individual competition with a (7374) 147 total, one shot back of Mitchell Kelly from Osoyoos.

Madison Kapchinsky of Rutland won the girls title, with Jessica Claggett of KSS taking second.

KSS placed third at 618.

The tournament was organized by Kueber as a alternative to the official B.C. high school championships which were

cancelled last month due to the BCTF’s stance on extracurricular activities.

••• The Professional Golfers’ Association of British Columbia crowned its first tournament champions of the 2012 season this week at the Harvest Golf Club in Kelowna.

Mission Golf and Country Club head pro Mark Anderson partnered with club champion Stu Dunaway, to shoot a 7-under par 65 and claim the top prize at the event which partnered club professionals with club champions in a best ball event.

Anderson earned the top professional prize of $1,200 while Dunaway won a brand new set of TaylorMade R11 irons.

Finishing two off the lead in third place (67) were Rob Anderson and Jason Monteleone of Kelowna Golf and Country Club, while the teams from Canoe Creek Golf Course Jesse Crowe and Cody Bell along with last year’s co-champions from Two Eagles Golf Course Dean Claggett and Curtis Pannell tied for fourth

with a score of 68.

The TaylorMade & Adidas Golf PGA of BC Tournament of Champions is one of the more popular events on the PGA of BC event calendar, as it pairs the best amateur player at golf club’s across the province with that golf club’s head professional.

••• A hole-in-one by Power 104’s Don Huculak was the highlight of the Molson Tour at the Okanagan Golf Club’s Bear Course on Monday as Kelowna’s recreational golf league continued.

Huculak aced the par 3 14th hole at the Bear and was later rewarded when he splurged for some refreshments as the Molson Tour completed its second weekly points event, using the Stableford scoring system.

Huculak—ofcourse— also claimed a closest to the pin win with his hole-in-one while other KP winners were Lance Menzies, Eric Noble and Paul Clissold. Lyle Hines blasted the long drive on the 10th hole.

Molson Tour golfers will return to the OGC on Monday.

Here are the top eight point makers through two weeks of competition: 1 Craig Foster 2 Jim Malazdrewicz 3. Cal Warren 4. Dennis Young 5. Kelly Quist 6. Kent Paterson 7. Mike Kirby 8. Dave McMahon.

The Central Okanagan Rugby Enthusiasts (CORE) released its list of the Top 40 Junior Rugby Players, identifying the best Grade 9 and 10 players from the region.

Recognized as the best Under-16 local rugby players are (in alphabetical order): Curtis Bailey (OKM), Cole Bertram (MB), Alex Bortolon (OKM), Riley Bruschinsky (IMM), Scott Carter (MB), Strachan Clark (KSS), Peter Clarke (MB), Chance Coldwell (MB), Landon Corcoran (KCS), Gavin Day (IMM), Rain Dionne (IMM), Matt Fielding (OKM), Justin Fowler (OKM), Michael Gargaro (OKM), Jaymes Harker (RSS), Jaydan Harrington (SV), Dom Haynes (KSS), Andrew Henseleit (KSS), Eli Hogarth (MB), Markan Katinic (KSS), Matt Katanic (OKM), Ben Krell (MB), Justin Lange (IMM), Hunter Lindstrom (MB),

Michael Marks (IMM), Owen Marshall (KSS), Brodie Mazur (MB), Tyler McLeod (MB), Patrick Mooney (IMM), Joe Overton (OKM), Randy Pauls (OKM), Jackson Peters (KCS), Joe Price (KSS), Rahkeem Rockwell (KSS), Jacob Saucier (IMM), Braeden Spelliscy (IMM), Jesse Stewart (KCS), Corey Turner (MB), Matt Walz (RSS), and Kurt Yesilicimen (KSS).

All 40 players are invited to compete in the Junior All-Star Game on June 7 at 4:30 p.m. at the Parkinson Rec Centre. Selectors for the local U16 elite sevens program will be there to identify players for their program in 2012-13.

“This is the first year we have formally identified our top junior players through a Top 40 program,” said Barry Ebl, CORE Director responsible for Rugby Excel-

lence. “We invested in the development of players at this age level through our summer camps and offseason sevens program over the past year. Our efforts are beginning to pay off, with five of our U16 players recently short-listed to the provincial U16 sevens.”

In 2012, there were 134 grade 9 and 10 boys playing rugby in six different Central Okanagan school rugby programs.

Local sport organizers are happy with that number but believe those numbers will improve.

“We had 233 grade 8 rugby players 1n 10 school programs in the fall of 2011,” said Ebl. “Many of them will not get a chance to play in grade 9 because their middle school cannot compete in a grade 9 and 10 junior league. We are working with schools to identify ways to keep those players active in the sport.”

United soccer roundup Kelowna United soccer teams were out in full force last weekend hosting and traveling to play different teams around the province. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a look at some of the results from action on May 26 and 27.

U-13 GIRLS The Under-13 girls had a good weekend, winning twice without allowing a goal against.

Madison Dickie scored three times while Angelia Ostrom scored twice in an 8-0 win over Revelstoke. Courtney Piessard, Erin Thomas and Chanel Campbell also scored while Revelstoke was unable to penetrate through the strong KU defensive line of Courtney Gunn, Natalie Hope, Brianna Tataryn, Erin Thomas and Hannah Allan.

On Sunday strong goaltending by Allan saw Kelowna earn a 2-0 win over Vernon. Paige Krivoshein and Danika Lee scored the goals.

U-15 GIRLS The Under-15 girls earned a 3-0 shutout win over the Kamloops Blaze Blue squad on Sunday.

KU opened the scoring on a well-placed cross from Emma Johnson to Kiana Ajamzadeh at the front of the net to tap the ball passed the keeper. Emma Johnson added two straight goals to secure the win. Strong midfield play from Jaedyn Penkala, Lindsay Lalach, Brianne Mapson, Bailey Peissard, Kelsey Slattery, Amber Hilts and Jazlyn Lazar controlled the second half. Goalkeepers Avery Watson and Rebecca Barkley shared the shut out.

U-16 GIRLS Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U-16 girls returned to Kamloops to continue a back and forth battle with arch rival Kamloops U-16 Blaze as each team had earned a win in previous meetings.

Kamloops would go ahead in the season series with a 3-2 win after scoring two quick goals to start the game. Kelowna got within one with a goal from Shelby Dane before Casey Loudoun tied the game at 2-2 in the second half.

The two teams continued to trade scoring

Jays pummel Diamondbacks

chances and Kamloops would score the winning goal off a corner kick with under a minute to play.

The U-16 girls will head to Salmon Arm this week to take on the Shuswap U-16 Selects.

U-11 BOYS-SAINTS The U-11 Saints were 1-and-1 on the weekend, losing 2-1 to Vernon before taking Shuswap 9-0.

It was a good old fashioned West Coast whipping Wednesday night at the Elks Stadium.

The West Coast Authentic Kelowna Jays amassed 15 hits in an 110 win over the Vernon Diamondbacks in Okanagan Major Baseball League play on Wednesday night.

Shortstop and assistant coach Jared Johnson led the way going 4 for 5 with 2 runs batted in while Austin Bartleson had three hits and scored three runs.

Other offense came from third baseman Jordan Varga who was 2 for 4 with a walk, two runs scored and two RBIâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Right fielder Dom Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;souza was 2 for 2, with two walks and an RBI and Dallas Monk also drove in two runs.

With their ice breaker tournament taking place this weekend the Jays changed pitchers every inning with equal success as the hurlers gave up no

runs, allowed three hits, and combined to strike out 10.

The Jays now host the Langley Blaze, Trail Orioles and Kamloops Sun Devils in a weekend icebreaker tournament at Elks Stadium. The first game of the weekend is Saturday at 11 a.m. and features the rival Kamloops Sun Devils taking on the WCA Jays.

Games take place all day Saturday and Sunday at Elks Stadium.

Meanwhile...

This week the Jays announced a partnership between the team and West Coast Authentic that sees WCA becoming the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s title sponsor. The team will now be known as the WCA Kelowna Jays. WCA owner Jason Bobbitt says he is excited to become involved with the Jays organization which provides a quality baseball environment for local and college players each summer.

Langley’s Georgia Eltlenwood won gold for the tthird straight year with 4, 955 points, The performance will warrant Watts-Watling some consideration as a member of Team B.C, for the nationals in August in PEI.

Roller derby is back at Sunplex arena Saturday night

Roller derby is back on the track this weekend in Kelowna as the Bad Apple Betties take on the K City Rollers for the first rtime in nearly a year at the Sunplex Sports Arena Saturday night.

With new skaters and improved skills fans should be in for an entertaining night out watching roller derby, a sport of agility, fast feet and aggression, according to Christina Ferreira, the president of the Okanagan Roller Derby Association.

“Our season opener sold out. It was such a great way to kick-off our season after training all

winter, motivating all of our league members to train harder and master some impressive skills,” said Ferreira, also known as Möxie Crüe. “As our league grows and ages our members are attending bootcamps outside of Kelowna and bringing back those skills to share with the rest of us. This contributes to an ever changing and challenging game for our fans to take in.”

Roller Derby is considered the fastest growing women’s sport in the world with tens of thousands of players taking part in the fast paced game and over 1,000 women’s

leagues in over 36 countries. Roller derby is a contact sport based on formation roller skating around an oval track by two teams. Points are scored when the designated scoring player (the “jammer”) of a given team laps members of the opposing team; hence offense and defense typically occur simultaneously.

“Kelowna is embracing roller derby and we see the enthusiasm in our fans as they watch and learn this sport,” said Ferreira. “We also chose to give back this year by selecting a local charity where we can provide

Veendam sister city garage sale full of must-have items I am stoked about it, actually. Yup, odd as it may sound, I am all excited about a great big outdoor garage sale, surrounded by a bunch of old folks.

To clarify—that’s ‘older than me’ folks.

I can hardly wait.

The annual Veendam Sister City Association’s garage sale has become a bit of a tradition for the Hodge house, one that Tez and I look forward to every spring.

A smarter scribe would not tell you about the event—so he or she would have more time to look over all the cool stuff and then snag it. However, my conscience would get to me and I would go through all that unnecessary angst.

This annual June event has turned into a special morning for me

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge not only because it is a great garage sale in the beautiful outdoors downtown at the Memorial Arena, but it’s also a bit of a homecoming for both of us.

While I was on city council, then-mayor Sharon Shepherd appointed me to the Veendam Sister City Committee.

Having a long family history steeped in B.C Dragoons’ military participation or traditions, and as a teenage member of the B.C, Dragoon Cadet Corp, I always knew and connected with war vet-

erans.

To be a part of their committee as a city representative was truly an honour.

And later in my council term, I was asked to take on a different sister city portfolio, however, I remained an alternate to Veendam, group. I had the best of both worlds.

Every Christmas, Tez and I, along with my dearest friend Curtis Tulman were guests of the gala Veendam Christmas event —and it truly was a highlight of the festive season for all three of us. What gracious and inspiring people!

I must admit to being a bit of a lifelong garage sale nut, though I rarely still currently indulge.

(Without a van or pickup truck one tends to miss a whole lot of great stuff).

I am a junk collector

from way back, trained by one of the best.

My mom could find a reason to keep anything.

She was an arts and crafts nut and when she finally physically left this planet she left behind about seven quadrillion boxes of empty paper towel and toilet roll tubes.

“They will be good for a craft someday,” she assured me as each box was lovingly filled and stuffed into a room. But…once again I digress, All proceeds from the group’s Saturday, June 9, event, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., go towards their worthy student exchange (to Veendam) program.

That includes money raised from their yummy hot dogs, drinks, and other goodies to munch on.

The sales and food will be great, but best of all Tez and I will get

to visit with friends like Dick Gunoff and Wayne Horning, and catch up on life.

You can’t beat that on a warm spring morning.

The Veendam garage sale is a grand time and you do not want to miss it.

Please, just arrive late so I have the chance to scoop all the great books, lamps, neat lawn stuff, toys, games and food. *** Before I run out of space, Los Angeles Kings will defeat the New Jersey Devils in game seven by a 4-2 score to win their first Stanley Cup. *** I had reason to venture to the ‘Big Smoke’ last week and, once again, was amazed by the adventure. Not only was my trek to Vancouver across the spellbinding Coquihalla Highway blessed

by fabulous weather and top notch road conditions, but a dear friend lent me his vehicle to make the trip. You are a good man, Graeme James.

A noon appointment meant an early departure and as I roared off into the gorgeous day, I pondered my potential trip.

Despite my fears, the sun beamed all the way to Chilliwack, where it naturally went into hiding, replaced by rain.

However, on my Vancouver departure, thankfully, the same conditions prevailed as I was blessed with sunshine all the way home once I left Chilly.

As I drove across the massive mountain range along the Coquihalla, I continued to be fascinated by the engineering, perseverance, and skill it took to create such an impressive highway through

such a daunting mountain pass.

Stunning. I was constantly awed by the beauty of the trip, feeling totally inspired and blown away by our province’s beauty.

However, that awe was slammed into a cold, hard, ugly reminder of how insensitive man can be when within a few miles of home I ran into billboard hell.

The dozens and dozens of gigantic advertising billboards strewn along both sides of the highway 97 through West Kelowna and rounding Bridge Hill stand out like a tacky sore thumb.

It struck me as sad that such a fabulous drive through remarkable landscape could be so tastelessly trashed by a wall of tacky signs at my destination. How sad.

“YLW serves 1.39 million passengers annually and from our market research we know 16 per cent of these passengers’ final destination is the South Okanagan,” said airport director Sam Samaddar.

“Having this representation from the South Okanagan will provide collaboration from the entire region, which is integral to the future of Kelowna International Airport and the region’s economic prosperity.

At its meeting on Monday, Kelowna city council approved amendments to the advisory committee’s terms of reference to increase its membership to include representatives from Penticton, the Summerland Chamber of Economic Development and Tourism and the South Okanagan Chamber of Commerce.

Also approved at the council meeting was the appointment of Meryle Corbett

Enter the xeriscape garden contest I GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele cate from Byland’s Nursery. Entries received by Aug. 15 are eligible for an early bird draw prize of a gift certificate from Sagebrush Nursery (xeriscape and native plants) in Oliver.

For details about the contest and for the entry

form, go to www.okanaganxeriscape.org.

The judges will be looking for how the principles of xeriscape have been followed in creating and maintaining the garden such as mulching, appropriate plant selection, grouping of plants by water needs, water-wise or no irrigation, water-wise or no turf grass, and good design practices that create sustainable landscapes.

Last year’s winning gardens are featured on the xeriscape showcase on the OXA website.

If you have any waterwise/xeriscape landscaping on your property, I encourage you to enter to share your experience.

Also please encourage anyone you know who has xeriscaping in their yard to consider entering.

The more local, water-wise gardens that are showcased, the more ideas there will be to inspire others on how to make the change.

I’m excited by some ideas I just read in a great new book I found at Mosaic Books, ‘Beautiful No-Mow Yards: 50 amaz-

ing lawn alternatives’ by Evelyn Hadden.

While one chapter is on xeriscaping, much of the book is relevant to water-wise gardening.

There is a good chapter on meadows and one on alternative types of turf grasses and excellent information on how to transition from lawn. Her focus is on drastically reducing maintenance as well as gardening with the climate.

The main objectives are to recognize those who have made the change to water-conserving landscapes, to increase awareness of innovations in landscaping and water use efficiency, and to encourage others by giving them good ideas for their own gardens.

All properties in the Central Okanagan, with any water-wise/xeriscape landscaping, are eligible.

There are four categories. Three categories are the same as last year and are for residential gardens: Best non-professionally created small garden, best non-professionally created large garden, and best professionally designed and installed residential garden.

A new category, added this year, is best professionally designed and installed commercial landscape.

The best garden in each category will receive an engraved metal garden sculpture custom designed by B-line Design.

For professionally designed gardens, the prize goes to the garden owner with recognition in news articles and on the OXA website of the professionals involved.

Just say the words “summer at the lake” in certain company, and you’ll get a wistful smile, possibly followed by stories about fishing contests, belly-flops, mosquito bites, campfire songs, sexual awakening, lingering regret, family feuds and winterizing expenses.

Now, say “summer at the lake” to a room full

of Seattleites, and talk will likely turn to Lake Chelan.

Lake Chelan, about 80 kilometres long and 2.5 km wide at its broadest, begins about 80 km south of the U.S.-Canada border, roughly midway between Seattle and Spokane. It meanders among the green slopes of the Cascades and stops at the modest resort town of Chelan, about 282 km east of Seattle.

The population is about 3,900. Across the

lake you see 7,000-foot mountains. A few miles north of town, you find the lakeside village of Manson and just beyond it, a trio of tiny neighbour lakes.

At the far end of the lake is the settlement of Stehekin, its lodge, cabins, waterfall and pastry shop accessible only by passenger ferry, private boat, float plane or hiking trail.

TRAVEL Lake Chelan A28 that’s usually surrounded well before the sun goes down. It’s not only the biggest resort in Chelan proper (170 guest rooms in five buildings on eight acres), but also the oldest, going back to 1901.

It has a long history of many upgrades, expansions and a couple of fires, but its rates are regrettably up to date: $245 to $330 US a night in summer. However; it’s comfortable, and there’s no better location on the lake.

In fact, the first view of the lake from our balcony half-paralyzed us, it was so idyllic. Little kids splashed in the shallows and crafted sand castles on the beach. Teens lay siege to the floating diving platforms. And a circle of moms gathered to sip adult refreshments while the water lapped at their knees. (They were back the next night too.)

In part because the resort is at the shallow end of the lake, the water is warm—often 25 C in August. We swam and drifted on floating toys, did cannonballs off the floating platforms and then retreated to the balcony to play cards, eat cherries (just harvested) and watch an arriving float plane, brilliant orange, as it gently eased onto the blue water.

We found ourselves in need of sunglasses and beach toys, so we started by nipping across the street to the Variety Store, a local fixture since the 1970s. Later, at the Chelan Evening Farmers Market by Riverview Park (every Thursday in summer), we browsed produce from Sunshine Farm and got an up-close introduction to a live barn owl, which some local animal-

We strolled the main drag, Woodin Avenue, which dwindles quickly into rural highway.

We also found our way to the Lake View Drive In, a throwback burger joint overlooking Campbell’s and neighbouring Don Morse Park.

You sit at the outdoor picnic tables with your bur-

gers, fries and milkshake, and it could be 1957, except for all the texting teenagers around you.

These amenities, alongside that beckoning lake, would have been enough to sustain three or four days of swim-readeat-nap-repeat. But we did widen our circle a little.

One day, driving a scenic loop near Man-

son and those little lakes, I stopped to check out the Wapato Point vacation condo resort, which sits on a big finger of land reaching into the lake.

The property, far larger than Campbell’s, covers 116 acres, with eight pools, six tennis courts, boating, miniature golf, trout pond—a kids’ summer universe. If you’d rather cook for yourself than pay restaurant prices, these rentals (typically $210 to $360 a night in summer) might be your

answer.

Then again, maybe you’d rather be served.

We ate a tasty breakfast at the Riverwalk Inn Cafe, about a block from Campbell’s. I had a pleasant lunch on the patio at Vin du Lac Bistro, open May through October on the highway from Chelan to Manson.

One evening, we drove a few minutes to Tsillan Cellars, a winery with great lake views, and had dinner at Sorrento’s, an upscale Italian restaurant that fills the winery’s patio. While we sipped and the sun sank, our 7-year-old, Grace, joined a tribe of rock-hopping children at the edge of the vineyards.

Both Vin du Lac (which aims for a French country feel) and Tsillan (which aims for Tuscan grandeur) have opened in the last decade. In fact, it was only 2009 that federal officials approved Lake Chelan as an American Viticultural Area. But the Lake Chelan Wine Valley organization now counts 17 winery members.

KFD firehall open house

Friday, June 1, 2012 Capital News

NEWS The Kelowna Fire Department will open the doors to the Enterprise Way firehall to the public on Sunday, June 10, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

A number of activities are planned as part of the open house including a pancake breakfast from 9 to 11 a.m., a demonstration by the high angle rescue team and

an extrication exercise involving an automobile.

There will be a kidsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; area set up that will include face painting, a dunk tank and display of various fire trucks.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Kelowna B.C. Professional Firefighters Burn Fund.

â&#x2013;ź STRIDE WITH PRIDE

Orthopedic services at KGH expanded by fundraiser walk

The Stride With Pride walk enters its 21st year of raising funds to purchase orthopedic surgical equipment for Kelowna General Hospital.

The committee behind organizing Stride With Pride is all volunteers, so there is little or no overhead in staging this event.

Virtually all the money raised, in addition to purchasing the new equipment, also supports ongoing education programs for the nurses and doctors that work on the 4 West orthopedic ward.

Over the past 20 years, Stride With Pride has raised more than $750,000. Since there is no government support, all the funds raised come from patient donors and the medical industry along with local businesses who have been generous in their support of Stride With Pride.

Every day in Kelowna, someone needs the services of the orthopedic department at KGH, either for treatment of fractures, joint arthroscopy, or hip and knee replacements.

The KGH capital budget does not come close to covering the cost for all the required equipment to meet those surgical orthopedic needs.

The Stride With Pride volunteer committee is working hard to ensure that all patients and physicians have the best equipment and updated medical care available to them.

This year, the annual Stride With Pride takes place Sunday, June 3. Organizers hope the public will continue the past tradition of supporting this walk, helping to improve the mobility and quality of life of those in need of orthopedic care.

Foot bridge needs repairs

The Kelowna parks department says a foot bridge on the KLO trail damaged by fire will remain closed until it can be repaired.

The bridge, one of three built in cooperation with the Friends of the South Slopes in 2010, was closed earlier this month due to flooding concerns along KLO Creek.

The fire damage to the bridge was discovered last week.

MOTORING ▼ PREVIEW

Altima helps Nissan set fuel consumption bar higher for 2013 Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

To say the 2013 Altima is important to Nissan Canada is probably the understatement of the year.

The Altima is the top selling mid-size Japanese sedan in Canada ahead of Toyota Camry, which pleases Nissan no end.

Last year was a good one for Nissan Canada with 87,458 units sold and overall results up five per cent.

But it’s never good to rest on your laurels which is why Nissan is bringing out five new models, starting with the 2013 Altima followed by Pathfinder, Sentra, a volume hatchback and volume small CUV. At the press briefing at Nissan’s North American headquarters in Nashville, Tenn., Canadian auto-

journalists were told the key for the 2013 Altima is styling, drive satisfaction and technology.

But the real message Nissan wanted everyone to hear is its fuel economy which Nissan claims is the new benchmark in the mid-size segment.

The all-new 2013 Nissan Altima is offered in four, inline four-cylinder 2.5-litre engine equipped models, 2.5 ($23,698), 2.5 S ($24,898), 2.5 SV ($26,998) and 2.5 SL ($29,598), as well as two 3.5-litre V6 equipped models, 3.5 SV ($29,698) and 3.5 SL ($32,598).

The new Altimas, despite many improvements and added equipment, are about $1,600 less per model than the 2012 versions.

Nissan would not comment on a hybrid version or a coupe, but you know they are on the way.

Horsepower in the 2.5-litre has increased by seven to 182 hp (from 175 hp), while torque remains the same at 180 lb/ft. The 3.5-litre V6 remains rated at 270 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.

Transport Canada numbers for the 2.5-litre are 7.4/5.0L/6.3L/100 km city/highway/combines and 9.3/6.4/8.0L/100 km city/highway for the 3.5-litre V6.

Aiding fuel economy is Nissan’s next-generation Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission).

Nissan committed early to CVTs and it is considered an industry leader in their design and operation. Once the “next big thing,” CVTs seem to be falling away as other manufacturers opt for new generation seven- and

MOTORING

Redesign has helped Altima reduce friction by up to 40% even eight-speed automatics. But Nissan is obviously sticking by the CVT and that 5.0L/100

km highway for the 2.5-litre is a pretty strong argument.

The CVT found in the 2013 Altima has some 70 per cent of its parts re-

designed with internal friction reduced by up to 40 per cent (versus the previous design). It also features new control logic and expanded gear ratio

coverage, which helps reduce noise and fuel consumption.

Besides the CVT the Altima is equipped with low rolling resistance tires and a new regenerative alternator that only operates when the vehicle is coasting.

Based on driving both engines, the 3.5-litre remains one of the best V6s on the market. Loads of torque with a silky smooth delivery remains a hallmark of the “VQ” series of engines.

The torque absorbing nature of the CVT is largely overcome so the V6’s horsepower that makes passing and merging a white-knuckle free exercise.

With 88 less ponies, the 2.5-litre isn’t as fast but also isn’t as thirsty which is important which regular fuel is averaging $1.30/litre and probably higher in the fall.

The new CVT does not take the extra second or two to spool up to the desired engine revs/power like the older unit which is appreciated in passing situations.

The low rolling resistance tires with their harder compound were loud with (curiously) more cabin intrusion with the V6.

Standard equipment on the Altima is Nissan’s Advanced Drive-Assist

The Easy Fill Tire Alert does more than let you know when a tire is going down, it lets out of beep of the horn when the tire is pumped back up to the right pressure.

Yes, the mileage is a big deal but to me the bigger deal was the backseat space especially the knee and legroom that along with the trunk volume challenges that of many full-size sedans.

Make no mistake, this may be classified as a mid-size sedan but it is full-size in my opinion and that definitely goes for the back seat.

And speaking of seats, Nissan called on seating and posture research from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in designing them. NASA data shows the least fatiguing seats are those that come closest to a “neutral posture”—a relaxed position that the human body takes in a weightless environment.

So in designing the seats Nissan went with a new articulated seat shape with continuous support from the pelvis to the chest and distribution of localized deformation characteristics, the “zero-gravity” Altima seats help reduce muscular and spinal loads, and improve blood flow—thereby helping reduce fatigue over long periods behind the wheel.

Mercedes-Benz cargo van ‘Sprinters’ ahead of the pack Lorne Drury CONTRIBUTOR

There are few vehicles on the market that offer the practicality and versatility of the MercedesBenz Sprinter for commercial use.

Once sold under the Dodge brand during the Daimler Chrysler alliance, the Sprinter has been available only under the Mercedes-Benz banner since 2010.

The versatility is evident when you consider the number of variants that are offered. In the cargo van segment for 2012, the Sprinter comes in three body lengthsã standard (3,665

mm/144.3 inch wheelbase), long (4,325/170.3 inch wheelbase) and extra-long (4,325/170 inch and long rear overhang) as well as 2500 and 3500 model designations.

The 2500 model is available in standard and high roof heights, while the 3500 comes in high roof height only.

Moving up to the long and extra long wheelbase, there is a full range of high and super high roof heights for both the 2500 and 3500.

But that’s only the start of Sprinter models.

There is also a 2500 Passenger Van with standard and long wheelbases.

The standard wheelbase

is offered is standard and high roofs, while the long wheelbase version has a high roof only. A 3500 minibus with extra-long wheelbase and 3500 Cab Chassis in standard and long wheelbase round out the extensive model lineup.

For this review, though, we’ll focus on the 2500 cargo van.

If you aren’t in the skilled trades or delivery business, you don’t often think about what makes a good work truck. For construction, a pickup truck makes great sense because of its hauling ability, but for those who have to carry lots of tools and parts in their vehicle, a cargo van like the Sprinter is often the vehicle of choice. That explains why more than one million Sprinters have been sold around the world.

When you think of Mercedes-Benz you think of luxury automobiles, not cargo vans. In fact, many people would be surprised to learn that MercedesBenz is the largest manufacturer of commercial vehicles in the world.

THE MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER is available in many variants, but the 2500 cargo van is the most popular, particularly among trades people and delivery services. Sales of the Sprinter are up nearly 20 per cent in 2012.

Sprinter, I really hadn’t noticed how many of them are on the road today.

Plumbers, electricians and other trades people flock to them because their roof height (up to 214 cm or 84 inches) creates an abundance of cargo space, plus the added bonus that you can actually stand upright in them.

It is available with a payload capacity of up to 2,438 kg (5,375 lb), a cargo area of to 16,990 litres (600 cu ft) and a loading length of up to 470 cm (185 inches).

And, if you have the need to occasionally carry more than one passenger, a crew van package, consisting of a rear bench seat with room for three passengers, is available. The seat is removable in just a few simple moves.

Ease of loading is another highlight with the Sprinter; it can be loaded from the rear, from a door on the right side and optionally also from a door on the left.

Meanwhile, available space can be used fully because of the near-ver-

tical inner walls, leveledoff wheel arches and the high roof. The sliding side door offers a wide enough opening that standardsize pallets can be loaded cross-wise. The hinged rear doors lock into position automatically and will open up all the way to the sidewall if needed.

My tester was the base 2500 Cargo Van with standard wheelbase. Starting at $42,900, it featured a number of options including a Heated seat package ($350), Comfort seat package ($390), Interior lighting package ($300), and a Convenience package ($500) consisting of multifunction steering wheel with trip computer and instrument panel display and cruise control.

Also included was the High roof ($2,500), Entire Partition Wall ($310), upgraded Audio 20 system consisting of AM/FM six-disc CD, MP3, Bluetooth ($900), Parktronic system ($940), Comfort co-driver’s seat ($220), Interior trim, washable full

MOTORING

Utility of this cargo van has people flocking to buy them Sprinter from B4 height ($460) and a rear step ($180). The options bring the price as tested to $49,950.

Power is supplied by a 3.0-litre V-6 BlueTEC diesel engine, making 188 hp and 325 lb/ft of torque.

The engine is mated with a five-speed automatic transmission.

My week with the Sprinter coincided with a family household move so I got to see firsthand the versatility of the Sprinter.

We moved a variety of goods including garden tools, a lawnmower, cardboard cartons and plants to our new home 75 minutes away. Once that was all unpacked it was visit after visit to big box stores to get storage racks, more garden supplies and other things we needed for our new place.

The size of the Sprinter really hit home when I loaded a very heavy and awkward six-foot long garage storage locker into the cavernous rear compartment. I couldn’t believe how much room was still left and the length of goods that would fit inside.

On the highway, the vehicle performed well. I didn’t have a heavy load, so performance wasn’t taxed by any means. Acceleration was adequate

CONTRIBUTED

ALTHOUGH not up to Mercedes-Benz passenger car luxury, the interior of the Sprinter is a step ahead of most cargo vans with available heated front comfort seats and a number of other optional features.

CONTRIBUTED

THE CARGO BAY in the Sprinter is cavernous with up to 16,990 litres (600 cu ft) of cargo space. and the handling was what one would expect of a vehicle with such a high centre of gravity.

It was buffeted around in the wind a bit, but there was no problem keeping it on the straight and narrow.

The turning circle is fairly short for such a large vehicle.

Just because this is a cargo van doesn’t mean that safety systems are ig-

nored. Adaptive electronic stability control is standard. This system takes the vehicle load into account. Since the load can vary during the course of a trip, sensors determine the current level to allow the system to perform the needed stabilization maneuvers.

Inside, the cabin is more comfortable than one would expect in a big

commercial vehicle. The upgraded heated comfort seats may have had something to do with that.

There is lots of stowage space in the cabin, including a neat shelf just above the windshield visors that I’m sure trades people would find useful for their paperwork.

Of course, there are several cup holders for stops at Timmy’s as well as two

Much of the dash area in front of you is similar to what you would find in a passenger car. Our tester had the upgraded audio system as well as the multifunction steering wheel with displays in the instrument panel.

The optional Parktronic system is welcome on a big vehicle such as this. It features parking aid, both

front and rear, with audible signaling and visual display in the exterior mirror and on the dashboard.

A number of other optional packages and features are also offered, adding to the versatility of the Sprinter cargo van.

Because of this, it’s no wonder sales are growing in Canada with an increase in sales of nearly 20 per cent in calendar year 2012 over the previous year.

Patricia Joyce Reeve February 3, 1939 - May 21, 2011

We thought of you with love today, But that is nothing new.

We thought about you yesterday And the days before that too.

We think of you in silence, And often speak your name; All we have are memories And your picture in a frame.

Your memory is our keepsake With which we will never part, God has you in his keeping We have you in our heart.

Love you forever.... your family

Ronda J. Maxwell, RMT

Prevention, Rehabilitation, Education, Stress Management Sage Massage Therapy welcomes Ronda Maxwell, Registered Massage Therapist.

Ronda joins the team at Sage from a massage clinic in Kamloops where she enjoyed a thriving practice for almost three years. She is thrilled to join the Kelowna community.

Ronda’s massage style combines myofascial work, deep tissue techniques, cranio sacral therapy, polarity, relaxation massage, and hot stone therapy all rolled into a treatment to meet your needs a little differently each time you visit.

“There is a flexibility, fluidity and flow even in my treatment based massages that lends to relaxation, even though there may be moments of discomfort. I’m not afraid of bringing the pressure needed, but neither do I ascribe to the ‘No pain, no gain’ philosophy.”

“Effective treatment requires trust as well as the commitment of both therapist and patient. I genuinely look forward to meeting you and engaging in a long term therapeutic relationship.”

Tapping into your home’s hidden space

Protect yourself from land title fraud

Jennifer Hughes

CONTRIBUTOR

When it comes to renovation projects, contractors say homeowners often don’t think outside the box.

Want a closet? You can steal some space from a neighbouring room. Want a room? You can repurpose that little-used closet into something more practical.

When your contractor takes a peek behind your walls, you might be surprised to find you have usable space you never knew existed.

A savvy contractor can often come up with an innovative solution for home design and construction problems.

“People sort of get tunnel vision,” said contractor Richard Graniere.

“They work in the existing space instead of working within the outside perimeters of the house. They get blinded by the walls.”

One of the easiest ways to repurpose space is to take down non-loadbearing walls.

Graniere says most walls in your home are non-load bearing. Even a load-bearing wall can be removed, but it requires support beams to be erected in its place.

“You can really open things up,” he said.

Contractor Dominic Mangiarelli recalls the case about four years ago of a woman who asked him to renovate a bathroom, but also talked about how much she wanted more closet space for her five-bedroom home.

In the process of the renovation, Mangiarelli had to take down a wall between the bathroom and the hallway. In the middle, he discovered a cavity between a chimney and the hallway wall.

“It was small, only about 18 inches by 18 inches, but to her it was a gold mine,” he said.

Mangiarelli carved out

CONTRIBUTED

JENNIFER SCHERER seated in her home’s new, bigger closet. Her contractor removed a built-in and took space from another room. the space for a linen closet in that cavity.

A custom door for such a small size would be very expensive, but Mangiarelli came up with a novel idea: He used one panel of a bi-fold door. A little paint and spackle and a carpet remnant completed the job.

“She was just as excited about that closet as she was about the weeks of work I put into the bathroom,” Mangiarelli said..

Since then, Mangiarelli has done the hiddencloset trick at least two more times.

Working for a recent client, Mangiarelli found a tiny space between the

bathroom and a hallway landing that was just right for a linen closet that could be accessed from the hallway. “These happy surprises happen all the time,” Mangiarelli said.

“You never know what you’re going to find until you start tearing things out…There are always ways to find space.”

Shelia Manigault could read between the lines of her house. During a large renovation project on her home, she knew her family no longer needed the walk-in hallway closet upstairs.

Instead, Manigault and her contractor decided to turn the space into a com

puter/homework nook for her kids. One of the closet’s walls abuts the staircase. They decided to cut a window-size hole in that wall to make the space more airy. “I wanted them to have a little corner to go study and sit on the computer and still not be in their bedrooms,” she said.

Manigault has advice for other homeowners who are considering renovation jobs.

“I made a list of my needs first instead of looking at the space first,” she said.

“Once I figured out what I needed, then I could figure out where to put it.”

Incidents of real estate title fraud are increasing in Canada as homeowners and lenders are proving to be irresistible targets for fraud artists. The role of legal professionals and title insurance companies has become even more critical in the fight to detect and prevent title fraud.

Here is a typical example of real estate fraud: A fraud artist steals the identity of the legitimate owner of the property. The fraud artist sells the property to an unsuspecting purchaser who also obtains mortgage financing.

The unsuspecting purchaser either moves in or attempts to move into the property. The legitimate owner is faced with defending his/her interest in the property, including evicting the unsuspecting purchaser, and having their title subject to any mortgages, the unsuspecting purchaser has put on the title.

Thieves often target properties that are mortgage free and where owners have a good credit rating. This allows them to apply for a significant mortgage.

Generally, the losses to homeowners can be catastrophic with the homeowners paying thousands of dollars in legal fees to defend their title and lenders often losing the full amount of their mortgage.

Although it’s difficult to pinpoint an exact number, one association suggests that mortgage fraud amounts to $1.5 billion a year across Canada.

Most lending institutions now require title insurance upon registration of your mortgage with the lawyer/notary for either purchasing or refinancing your home.

This requirement is to protect the “lender” in the event of real estate fraud. It would be prudent to have a separate policy to protect yourself in the case of any of the above fraudulent acts. Contact your lawyer or notary public to learn more about the benefits of title insurance.

CATO student Team Hooked It Up wins Dwell interior design contest

Only seven votes separated two teams of interior design students from the Centre for Arts and Technology Okanagan in Kelowna’s Next Top Designer team contest, which ended last Sunday.

After tallying up the large number of votes submitted, team ‘Hooked It Up’ edged out team ‘Maled It’ for the bragging honours at the Dwell townhome development on Ambrosi Road.

The winner was announced at the end of a month-long open house at the new, trendy town home community built by Mission Group. Eight students from CATO were separated in to two teams several months ago and asked to do the interior design planning for two display homes.

Team Hooked It Up designed their unit for a young couple with no children, while team Maled It were

charged with designing their assigned home for a single male.

Both groups did a superb job, according to Mission Group president Randy Shier. Visitors to the Dwell site toured the two homes and voted for their favourite design.

Gisela Scholze, department head of CATO’s interior design program, said the students involved enjoyed their chance to work with profession-

als in the industry.

“Both teams did a tremendous job and learned a great deal. Class work is about learning and theory—but to actually work with the professionals at Mission Group and Shannon Nystrom of Moment Interiors was a tremendous opportunity,” Scholze said.

“Everyone involved in this unique triad collaboration won from this experience.”

Momentum Interiors supplied the furniture and accessories students used in designing and staging the two homes.

At the end of the event Christine Turner, marketing manager for Mission Group, and Markku Luopa, of Momentum Interiors, drew the name of the winner of $1,000 in furnishings from Momentum. Sheila Funk, of Kelowna, was the lucky winner.

Home-sites starting at $143,900. Lake view sites starting at $219,500.
