Taking flight to help CHILD Foundation Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

I

f your arm weighs 10 pounds and you’re in a jet pulling 50g, it feels like you’re lifting 50 pounds to move it, says one of the Canadian Snowbirds who attended a special reception at the Delta Grand Hotel this week.

The Snowbirds are a large attraction in Kelowna, regularly making stops in this city to wow audiences along the waterfront with their aerial acrobatics; but Wednesday’s visit was special.

Organized by local advocate Lisa Merrick, the chairperson for this event, the visit should help raise upwards of $40,000 for the CHILD Foundation,

Lisa Merrick a non-profit organization dedicated to helping children with intestinal issues.

“When I was 16, I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. The CHILD Foundation stands for Children with Intestinal and Liver Disorders and I heard about the foundation because the Snowbirds were doing a show for the CHILD Foundation in

White Rock. I was living there at the time, and my dad used to be a Snowbird back in the ’80s, so it was this cool connection and I started doing work for them,” said Merrick.

The CHILD Foundation is the baby of long-time B.C. politician Grace McCarthy, who has vowed not to retire until she has a cure for Crohn’s disease, inflammatory bowl disease and the other health problems CHILD addresses.

McCarthy was in town to watch the show and thank the Snowbirds personally for their impressive performance.

ror image, a move made famous by the movie Top Gun’s shot of one pilot flying flipside in his plane over another plane, impressive might even be an understatement.

As it happens, one really does have to be a ‘top dog’ to fly these patterns.

Every one of the pilots spends four to six years earning their military wings and needs an additional 1,200 hours in an ejection seat, or highperformance aircraft, to apply.

“Once you have those conditions, the wings and the hours, he or she applies to the team and if it looks good they come to Moose Jaw, fly the plane for a little bit, we check out their hands and their feet and see how well they learn and adapt to formation flying…how well coordinated they are; and then we take four of them,” said Thomas Edel-

No charges yet from car chase

Flight from A3

Two days after Mounties were led on a bullet-peppered car chase from West Kelowna to Vernon, Crown counsel had yet to approve any charges against the suspects.

But that’s not to say a lot of new information hasn’t been made available on the trio.

New Westminster Police, which have been investigating the RCMP’s conduct in the matter, revealed Thursday that the sole woman involved had been injured by a bullet and was still being treated for a “non life-threatening” injury.

It’s unclear if that wound was a product of the gunfire coming from the vehicle she was a passenger in during the chase, or RCMP fire.

With no charges yet laid as of Thursday, the 19-year-old’s name remained undisclosed, but the identities of her two male companions did come to light Wednesday.

At an evening press conference, Cpl. Dan Moskoluk said Shawn Adam Wysynski, 32, and Michael Edward Ellis, 39, were apprehended at the end of the Tuesday afternoon car chase, and both were being held to address earlier issues.

Wysynski was detained on a warrant issued in February for failing to comply with a probation or-

into the sunny evening, streams of visitors pour from Waterfront Park, City Park, Stuart Park and, really, the entire downtown core.

Merrick knows already that her crew sold every Tshirt produced as a fundraiser for the event. Whether it yields the $40,000 expected or the $60,000 a Snowbirds performance for the foundation often manages to pull in with extra donations from the awestruck audience, seems a moot point. Everyone who saw a plane in the sky in Kelowna this week, listened to the radio interviews the Snowbirds gave or was greeted by one of CHILD Foundation’s collection volunteers, knows what CHILD stands for now.

And with that kind of power behind them, the sky is the limit on what this foundation can achieve.

Food bank clarifies business partnership

der stemming from a Kelowna file.

Ellis has been wanted since June on charges of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, stemming from a Columbia Valley area investigation.

That matter will go to court Aug. 13. It’s a place that Ellis should have some familiarity with, having a long criminal record to look back on.

Of particular note, he was involved in one matter which occurred Sept. 29, 2011 that closely mirrors some of the alleged events of this week Justice Mark McEwan directed a judicial stay of the indictment for charges against Ellis because the 31-month period between arrest and trial infringed on his rights.

“At two-for-one, he has served the time equivalent of a seven and a half year sentence. This is to say that Mr. Ellis has spent so much time waiting for trial that he is already within the range of conceivable sentences for the offences, were he to be found guilty. That is scandalous,” said McEwan in his decision.

In the March 2009 incident, it was alleged that Ellis was behind the wheel of a blue Ford F-250 that had been stolen from a dealership in Surrey.

When he was spotted in the Rock Creek area, the Mounties gave chase. To get away, Ellis al-

Lenetta Parry says All You Can Drink is a donor incentive targeted at new and/or existing bottled water consumers. She stressed it’s not directed at food bank clients.

Parry says Vital Wa-

ters donates drinking water to food bank staff and volunteers, and donates a one-time $20 gift certificate to new clients.

This is only a gift, Parry says, as Vital Waters won’t be soliciting food bank clients.

legedly rammed a police truck and forced another marked sedan off the road. The cops found the truck again, and were rammed again. That led the RCMP officer to fire shots at the truck. Drugs were also involved in that case.

Ellis has also been on the other side of the fence. In 2008, he claimed he was sexually assaulted by a corrections officer on two occasions when he was an inmate at Allouette River Correctional Centre in 1993. ARCC was closed down in 2002.

The corrections officer did spend time in prison for nine counts of indecent or sexual assault on five separate victims between 1980 and 1991, but the judge dealing with the file felt that Ellis had no credibility with respect to this incident and his claim was dismissed.

Charges from Tuesday’s chase could be laid as early as Friday.

Police attempted to stop the “suspicious” green Dodge Caravan, around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.

They allegedly fired shots at the West Kelowna RCMP officer, then the suspects fled on Westside Road.

On their way they allegedly fired more shots at the police, and were able to switch vehicles at least twice.

Harper’s built up Armed Forces will need new wars

To the editor: Six and half years into Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government, Canada has become so militaristic that the head of the Armed Forces can demand a new war and few bat an eye. j Two weeks ago, the Chief of the Defence Staff, Walter Natynczyk, told the Canadian Press: “We have some men and women who have had two, three and four tours and what they’re telling me is, ‘Sir, we’ve got that bumper sticker. Can we go somewhere else now?’”

The general added that “you also have the young sailors, soldiers, airmen and women who have just finished basic training and they want to go somewhere and in their minds it was going to be Afghanistan. So if not Afghanistan, where’s it going to be? They all want to serve.”

It is not surprising that the head of the military would want to go to war (that’s his

Registered and practical nurses are in demand

N

ursing is nursing, right?

Wrong, as you’ll quickly find out if you, your son or daughter are interest in a career as a nurse.

First, there’s an array of different types of nurses and nursing specializations, but let’s focus on the most recognizable in the B.C. health care system— Registered Nurses and Licensed Practical Nurses.

Registered nurses need to achieve a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree before writing the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination. Successful candidates can then apply for registration as a registered nurse with the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia.

Licensed practical nurses have

SCHOOL’S to complete a diploIN ma program and then

write the Canadian Practical Nurse Registration Exam, required for licensure in B.C. The degree (regisAllan tered nurse) and diploCoyle ma (practical nurse) programs that lead to the designation and careers are both very popular, and despite some rigorous pre-requisits and admission requirements, there are usually far more applicants for these popular programs than the number of spaces available. That’s with good reason, though: Employment prospects for both registered nurses and licensed practical nurses are better than good— they are excellent.

Both nursing programs have been offered for decades in the Okanagan,

first through Okanagan College, then Okanagan University College, and in the last seven years, through Okanagan College. The BSN program has been offered through UBC’s Okanagan campus since 2005, although its roots go back years earlier to OUC. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program grew last year in the valley when UBC and Okanagan College teamed up on a new stream of the program which sees 24 nursing students study for their first two years of the degree at Okanagan College’s Kelowna campus and then complete their credential at UBC—it’s a great example of the co-operation that is building between the two institutions.

The practical nursing program at Okanagan College, like identical programs in publicly-funded institutions around the province, has undergone some significant changes of late.

Until last fall, it used to be an intensive 12-month program but because of changes in what practical nurses are expected to be able to do in our nation’s hospitals and care settings, the College of Licensed Practical Nurses looked to Canada’s educators for a revamp of the curriculum and the program to align better with the LPNs scope of practice.

That meant significant change at the college level. With a lot of work to ensure that curriculum meets professional standards, Okanagan College introduced the new diploma program in January of this year. The length of study expanded from 12 months (including practicum) to 70 weeks, and of course, the curriculum expanded correspondingly. For the last six weeks students work in the field with a professional.

▼ NEW PROHIBITION

Time to embrace marijuana’s possibilities

To the editor: We all have a vice, be it smoking, drinking, gambling or online shopping.

These legal vices pay towards our tax base and lotteries, and are therefore ‘good.’

Pot smoking is a vice, or it can also be a medical necessity. The latter is in doubt not because of its lack of evidence, but for the inability to scientifically reproduce its effects.

Marijuana is depicted as a social scourge, though it kills fewer of us than both alcohol and peanuts.

What packs this weed into the bowl of legal exclusion, placing it alongside the deadly, brain-rewiring and addictive nar-

cotics? The demoralized weed has more notoriety than genetically-perverted plants and behaviour-altering food additives.

Why be so harsh?

We legalized liver-destroying booze, cancer-inducing tobacco, mind-altering pharmaceuticals, bone-crushing speed limits and technologies of unknown influence. Meanwhile, the near-benign marijuana, with biofuelproducing capabilities and a side industry of hemp production, continues to drain society rather than build it up to great possibilities.

Echoes of the 1920s alcohol Prohibition bubble up, and post-analysis

(of that era) reveals that the move was a drastic failure. It bolstered a bootleg industry and deprived a nation of liquor taxes and control mechanisms.

It enforced a nation of closet drinkers and hypocritical policy makers, both disregarding the law to fit their personal needs.

Then, the prohibition empowered bootleggers to spawn underground syndicates. The delicious profits of the illicit trade were irresistible, creating the need for law enforcement. This became the foundation for our current, never-ending War on Drugs.

During the original Prohibition, sensational

stories abound. A 14-yearold girl was placed on the prisoner docket for transporting two pints of liquor across the road. Government agents killed a farmer’s wife for possession of a few bottles of moonshine.

Support for the Prohibition weakened as the government tightened enforcement, and slowly eroded the citizen’s human rights in the name of security.

Rather than learning a lesson from the past, we have insanely renewed the attempts in hope of a different result. Today, this zero-tolerance torch is held by the Drug Enforcement Agency, confiscat-

ing lives and imprisoning drug mules. As our rights are infringed and the punishment harshened, we again race down a bootleggers’ road chasing a demand deemed illegal, more by law than by public consensus.

How long can we afford to hold this in? This doesn’t appear to be a system designed to better society. Rather, it creates felons and employs law enforcement, enabling a system that feeds itself and denies resolution.

Vilifying nature doesn’t work; perhaps it is time to embrace her possibilities.

Darrin Fiddler, Kelowna

More troops, bases creates need for more wars

job after all). What’s troubling is that Natyncf zyk felt comfortable saying so in public and that neither the Opposition parties nor any mainstream commentators criticized his call to arms.

The Chief of the Defence Staff’s warmongering is the logical outgrowth of the Conservatives’ bid to make Canadian society more militaristic. During the Conservatives’ first six years in office the military budget increased from $15 billion to $23 billion and the t number of troops rose by about a quarter to 95,000.

The Special Forces, which Ottawa can deploy abroad in total secrecy, more than doubled.

An increase in the size and strength of the military makes war more likely. In a recent article, leading foreign policy journalist Lee Berthiaume reported that the Harper government’s 2007 decision to acquire four massive C-17 Globemaster military transport planes spurred the plan to establish bases around the world. “The decision to acquire four C-17s (CC177) for strategic airlift indicates the government’s intention to utilize the CF (Canadian Forces) more extensively off continent,” read a May 2010 briefing note signed by Natynczyk, initiating the international base plan.

Dubbed Operational Support Hub, the goal is to set up permanent bases in up to seven countries.

In recent months Canada has signed an agreement to house soldiers and equipment in Kuwait, Jamaica and Germany and is negotiating to set up bases in Singapore, South Korea, Tanzania, Senegal and Kenya.

According to a military briefing note obtained by Postmedia, the bases are designed to improve the Canadian Forces’ “ability to project combat power/security assistance and Canadian influence rapidly and flexibly anywhere in the world.”

Publicly, Defense Minister Peter MacKay called the base initiative part of expanding “our capability for expeditionary participation in international missions…We are big players in NATO.” By setting up overseas bases and increasing the military’s size, the Conservatives are preparing for future wars. They’ve also built the cultural and ideological foundation for constant war. In one of innumerable examples, the updated 2011 citizenship handbook Discover Canada: the Rights and Responsibilities of Citizenship praised this country’s military history with more than a dozen photos depicting war or Armed Forces personnel.

Similarly, over the past few years soldiers have regularly appeared at major sporting events rappelling down from the rafters or in sombre moments of silence for the fallen.

Incredibly, reports Embassy, the Canadian Forces admit to having spent $353.6 million and directed 661 staff members to promoting their work in 2010-11.

The Conservatives militarism is unrelenting. After waging war in Libya they organized an $850,000 nationally televised celebration for Canada’s “military heroes,” which included flyovers from a dozen military aircraft.

Harper told the 300 military personnel brought in from four bases: “We are celebrating a great military success. Soldier-for-soldier, sailorfor-sailor, airman-for-airman, the Canadian Armed Forces are the best in the world.”

As part of his push to define Canada as a ‘warrior nation,’ at the June 2011 Conservative convention Harper mentioned “courageous warrior” as a founding Canadian principle. Asked to explain this position by Maclean’s editor Kenneth White the prime minister cited Canada’s role in fighting fascism and the Cold War. “The real defining moments for the country and for the world are those big conflicts where everything is at stake and where you take a side and show you can contribute to the right side.”

Asked whether we are in a great conflict or heading towards one Harper responded: “I think we always are.”

Taking his cue from the prime minister, the head of the military wants to get to work. The question is, will anyone say no?

Yves Engler, Kelowna Yves Engler is the author of a number of books on Canadian foreign policy, including The Ugly Canadian: Stephen Harper’s foreign policy.

Admissions highly sought after Express yourself Coyle from A6 The pre-requisites also changed for the course and importantly, now would-be practical nurses are expected to have the usual English, math and science from high school, but are also expected to have taken and passed (70 per cent or better) a college course specifically for students entering practical nursing.

One of the reasons

Locally made, affordable, durable. Environmentally friendly.

for that pre-requisite is to help ensure student success in the practical nursing program. And that’s something Okanagan College prides itself on— over the course of the last 15 classes of practical nurses graduating from Okanagan College, nearly 100 per cent of those writing the national licensing exam have passed. (Only two students have failed.)

Okanagan College offers the practical nursing

program at various times at each of its campuses in Salmon Arm, Penticton, Vernon and Kelowna. The next programs students can apply for are in January, 2013 in Penticton and Kelowna. Deadline for applications is Aug. 31.

Students hoping to get into the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Okanagan College will have to wait until Nov. 1 to apply for fall 2013 admission.

The B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union has issued notice that a one-day strike will take place in Kelowna and three other locations Tuesday, Aug. 7.

Thirty members of the B.C. Ministry of Labour, Agriculture, Health and Environment office at 1690 Powick Rd. will take part in job action during normal hours of operation.

The strike will also affect Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations offices in Surrey, Campbell River and 100 Mile House, as well as the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure office in 100 Mile House.

In total, 180 workers will be picketing Tuesday.

“We’re in the process of ramping

up some of our job action,” said Darryl Walker, president of the BCGEU. “The government has not chosen to move or renew the mandate that they’ve been given to negotiate with us. We’ve decided to take the next steps, which are to start job action.

“It’s a matter of getting more information out there—that’s what we think job action will do.”

The BCGEU president noted that all picketers will be non-essential service workers. Essential services will not be affected by the strike. If the government refuses to change its current mandate, Walker said that more strikes will likely take place in the near future.

This is the BCGEU’s second job action this summer as members picketed three liquor distribution branch sites July 31 in Vancouver, Victoria and Kamloops. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

SPORTS Jet ski competing ‘such an adrenaline rush’ Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

When the Center of Gravity hosted freestyle jet skiers at its 2010 event in Kelowna, there was one person in attendance who was perhaps more interested in the event than most.

Okanagan Mission student Owen Kuipers was so enthralled by the jet skiers that he went home that day and started to research the sport, checking out the stand-up jet-skis online and liking what he saw.

Fast forward a couple of years and Kuipers, now 14 and heading into Grade 10 at OKM, is being touted by some as a rising star in the world of freestyle jet skiing.

Last month Kuipers landed his first ever backflip in the Big Air competition during the Apple Pie Jamboree in Pateros, Washington, prompting organizer Roger Harnack to say “I witnessed the birth of a new jet ski star.

It’s rare to see a teenager compete at that level.”

After getting the itch while watching the Center of Gravity (this year’s COG is this weekend), Kuipers travelled to Pacific City, Oregon last year to watch a freestyle jet ski event, hosted by the Northwest Jet Sports As-

MARK FISCHER/CONTRIBUTOR

OWEN KUIPERS has been working on his jet ski skills since first watching the sport at Center of Gravity in 2010. sociation.

“We went down to watch all the best freestylers in the world and there were guys doing double back flips,” said Kuipers.

“Thats when I decided I wanted to be a freestyle jet skier. I started meeting the guys down there and worked my way up. Three competitions ago was my first competition and in my fourth one I landed the backflip.”

Landing the backflip at just 14 was something special, according to Harnack.

“We only have a handful of jet ski freestylers that can do backflips from Oregon, Washington and Idaho so Owen is definitely ahead of the curve.

Watching him do his first back-flip was phenomenal. You could just see the excitement not only from him but from the crowd.”

Kuipers is a member of a rather small contingent of stand up jet ski riders that travel to the USA for competitions. Kelowna’s Doug Derrickson is one of the top novice riders in the association while

other competitors come from Nelson and Vancouver. In the past there used to be events in Canada, during COG and during Peachfest, but currently competitors are forced to travel to Washington to compete.

It’s something that could change in the future.

“We are definitely looking to have more races in B.C., Oregon and Idaho,” said Harnack.

“Osoyoos, Penticton and Kelowna are among the best places to race.”

Competing locally would be music to Kuipers’ ears. In the meantime he is continuing to work on his own jet ski and improve his skills while having fun in a sport that he has come to love.

“It’s not the biggest sport or something that is going to pay the bills, it’s just a recreational thing,” he said. “But I will always be competing. It’s a lot of fun. You get out there and meet people. It’s such an adrenaline rush.” kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

A’s bid for PBL championship, meet Reds on Friday The Okanagan Athletics take on the Coquitlam Reds today (Friday) in Nanaimo in the opening of the B.C. Premier Baseball League’s Final Four Championship.

The A’s are seeded second in the four-team round robin format.

The Nanaimo Pirates are the No. 1 seed, while the Reds are third and North Shore Twins are fourth.

On Saturday, the A’s will play the Pirates and Twins, with the top two teams to meet in Sunday’s championship game.

“I think it’s anyone’s game, it’s totally up for grabs,” said A’s head coach Evan Bailey. “Every team has a shutdown pitcher, except maybe us, but we probably have the most potent offense of any team.

A surprising absence from the championship is that of the Langley Blaze who finished on top of the league in the regular season with a 39-9 record.

But North Shore engineered a playoff upset last weekend beating the Blaze in straight games.

“I wish Langley was there, they were obviously one of the top teams all year, but that’s baseball sometimes,” Bailey said.

It’s the first time a Kelowna-based team has ever been to the PBL’s Final Four.

Okanagan posted its best record ever (32-16) in 2012 and had its highest finish in the standings tying for third place.

Kids get chance to ‘suit up,’ play hockey thanks to Gorges Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

As he gets set to surpass 500 NHL games played this coming season, Kelowna’s Josh Gorges is giving back to the city that helped sculpt his professional hockey career.

Gorges will kick off a program on Tuesday in Kelowna that will provide families who can’t afford the costs of minor hockey the chance to suit up in the Kelowna Minor Hockey Association.

Called Goals and Dreams, the program began 13 years ago and is administered by the NHL Players Association. It purchases registration and buys equipment for kids who otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford to play minor hockey. Gorges says now is the time to bring the program to Kelowna.

“I started thinking this

year that I have to start doing more for the community and helping out as much as I can,” said Gorges this week. “I thought this is such a good opportunity for me to get involved and help kids that maybe don’t have the opportunity to play hockey and give them the same opportunity I had. The game has done so much for me I want to make sure every kid that wants to play has a chance to play.”

Gorges says he hopes to help as many as 40 to 50 children per year, if the demand is there and if there is room for kids to register in minor hockey.

The former Rockets captain and Memorial Cup champion will be at the minor hockey office this Tuesday from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. signing autographs and kicking the program off as Kelowna Minor Hockey opens registration for another season.

JOSH GORGES has brought the Goals and Dreams program to Kelowna this summer.

KMHA already has an established program that helps families with registration costs, so in its first year, Gorges’ program will go towards the purchase of equipment for kids who can’t afford it, according to minor hockey.

“We know there are

lots of families that need the help,” said Kelowna Minor Hockey director of hockey operations Corrine Reid. “Every year there are lots of kids whose parents come in and they want their kid to play hockey but can’t afford the equipment. This is huge for us. We’re real-

ly excited. Now when people ask we will have a place to send them.”

After playing minor hockey in Kelowna, Gorges advanced to the Kelowna Rockets where he would play four seasons, ending with the 2004 Memorial Cup. Then it was off to the American Hock-

ey League for parts of two seasons before making the jump to the NHL full-time, first with the San Jose Sharks and for the past six seasons for the Montreal Canadiens. The 6-foot-1 blueliner was named an alternate captain for the Habs last season and also signed a six year contract with Montreal last season.

He says he owes a lot to the city of Kelowna.

“I was fortunate enough to be able to stay in Kelowna and play minor hockey and stay with the Rockets,” he said.

“Both of those organizations have helped me so much to be where I am today. I’m very fortunate to be able to do what I’m doing and if I can help out even one kid that gets to play hockey then I’m more than happy.”

Gorges says playing minor hockey comes with many great side effects and he’s hoping that he

can help many kids along the way.

“I think first and foremost it gives them something that is really positive to do,” said Gorges.

“There are a lot of negatives in our world today but hockey gives you that opportunity to be part of a team sport. You lean how to interact with people, be a teammate be pushed and push other people and cooperate.”

Kelowna Minor Hockey registration opens for another season on Tuesday at the minor hockey office in Memorial Arena.

Gorges will be on hand starting at 7:30 a.m. to sign autographs. For more information on the Goals and Dreams program or minor hockey registration, drop by the office or call 250-861-5677.

Okanagan Sun open tough 2012 schedule on Saturday What is arguably the Okanagan Sun’s toughest

schedule in the club’s 32year history will open up

on Saturday night at the Apple Bowl.

HOME OPENER SATURDAY, AUG 4 @ 7PM THE APPLE BOWL IN KELOWNA e u at Th o y e e S Bowl Apple na w in Kelo y a Saturd night!

TAKE BACK OUR TURF

In the first of three B.C. Football Conference meetings between the clubs, the Sun will battle the Langley Rams in a 7 p.m. kickoff.

In an effort to address parity issues in the BCFC, the league instituted an unbalanced 10-game schedule with the top three teams—Okanagan, the Rams and defending champion Vancouver Island Raiders—meeting three times each.

The Sun will also play Kamloops twice, and the Westshore Rebels and Chilliwack Huskers once each.

So with six games against two top-flight opponents—including two on the Island against the Raiders—Sun head coach Gavin Lake said his club will have its work cut out.

“It means we better win the games we are supposed to win (Kamloops, Chilliwack, Westshore)

or we could be in playoff trouble this year,” Lake said on okanagansun.ca.

Lake didn’t hide the fact that he isn’t necessarily a fan of the schedule, especially in light of the fact he is in many ways coaching a Sun team that has been largely rebuilt with approximately 12 new starters this season.

“The issue with this schedule is we (BCFC teams) already play two more games than the PFC (BCFC 10, PFC 8),” Lake said. “You add that fact with six or more really tough, physical games and you have reason to be concerned that the team coming out of B.C. could

be really beat up and not have anything left come playoffs.”

The Sun’s five home games in 2012 consist of Langley Rams (Aug. 4), Westshore Rebels (Sept.

8) VI Raiders (Sept.15), Kamloops Broncos (Sept.

22), and Langley Rams again Oct 13.

SPORTS ▼ FASTBALL

Heat finish seventh place at provincials; must miss nationals The Kelowna Heat capped off the 2012 fastball season with a seventh-place showing at the Softball B.C. U18A girls

provincial championship in Victoria.

After posting a 2-2 record in the round robin last weekend, the Heat

advanced to the playoff round where the Kelowna club was eliminated with back-to-back games in the double-knockout format.

“It would have been nice to get into the medals but it’s a very talented pool of teams in this age group and making

the playoff round was actually a good accomplishment,” said Heat coach Bernie Penner.

It was an emotional weekend for many members of the Heat who are graduating from the program, many of whom have played six to eight years with the team.

“It’s definitely sad to see it end as this is an exceptional great group of players both on and off

the field,” added Penner.

“They have been very rewarding to coach.”

With the placing the Kelowna Heat could have carried on the nationals in Montreal later this month, but have declined to attend due to four players having to report to American universities in August and therefore not available for nationals.

The four players continuing on with softball at

the collegiate level with softball and academic scholarships are: • Felisha Vogelaar— Stewart County College, Liberal, Kansas • Hailey Wedgewood—Dodge City College, Dodge City, Kansas • Morgan Cederholm—Graceland University, Lamoni, Iowa • Rachel Penner— Oklahoma City University, Oklahoma City

Great incentives to volunteer at Kelowna Apple Triathlon The bike course at the Kelowna Apple Triathlon is both challenging and beautiful.

A great way to take in the amazing course is to volunteer at the Apple Triathlon, coming up Aug. 18 an 19.

Organizers say they need almost 250 volunteers for the bike course alone. If you are planning on volunteering, consider being a bike course marshal.

In addition to all the great prizes awarded at the Volunteer Party, there’s another incentive to volunteer on the bike course: All bike course volunteers (over the age of 21) will be entered into the draw for a prize provided by Tree Brewing: Beer for a Year. As a volunteer on the bike course, you see first hand the speed the cyclists are going at as well as the cornering where many passes take place.

Volunteers are needed on Saturday Aug. 18 from 6:30 to about 11:30 a.m.

On Sunday, the bike course accommodates more races: age group

sprint and Olympic distance in the morning, and elites in the afternoon. Cyclists travel from downtown Kelowna, part way up Knox mountain, through Glenmore and back to the Dolphins downtown. The Apple Triathlon bike course is a

closed course (no traffic is allowed) so having a good group of bike course marshals is vital to helping local traffic navigate the traffic pattern though downtown and Glenmore.

Volunteers are needed for various shifts between 6 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. on

Aug. 19 If you have a few hours to spare on the weekend of Aug 18-19, join the volunteer crew at the 2012 Pushor Mitchell Kelowna Apple Triathlon.

Questions you should ask about travel insurance.

The summer sees more people travelling over the border, making the most of the warm weather and school vacation. It’s also the time many discover they’re under-insured when they incur steep unexpected medical expenses in a foreign country.

These can, however, be easily avoided by asking a few pertinent questions before you go.

Do I need travel insurance for a quick trip across the border?

Accidents are just as likely to happen on a day trip as any other day at home or at work.

Driving on unknown routes could potentially increase the odds. As always, it’s best to ensure you’re fully covered.

Does BC Medical Services Plan cover everything?

Provincial health care is unlikely to cover all of your medical expenses incurred out of province, or overseas. In fact, the Canadian government recommends that travellers purchase travel insurance when leaving the country because of the extremely high cost of medical care outside of Canada.

My credit card automatically covers that, right?

You may not have adequate coverage through your credit card plan. Check to ensure you

TRAVEL INSURANCE WITH

LORA JOHN

have medical coverage, not just travel accident insurance as there is a difference, and that the medical coverage meets your needs.

Is my work travel insurance plan adequate for this trip?

Many plans offered through employers lack certain options, like trip cancellation or interruption insurance. You can purchase these on their own to complement your company’s travel insurance.

Also, some employee plans only cover the employee, so if you are travelling with your family, ask your insurance specialist about a family travel insurance plan, for both medical or trip cancellation/ interruption insurance.

Do your research and ask the right questions. Visit a BCAA location and speak with an insurance specialist who will be happy to advise you, or visit bcaa.com/travelinsurance before you go and make the most of your trip.

Mixing colour blending with wine tasting in the vineyard Jennifer Smith STAFF REPORTER

It’s early afternoon and, red shoes in hand, I’m about to launch into an all new adventure.

No, it’s not a Hans Christian Anderson Tale—The Red Shoes is a bit of a creepy one.

Rather, I’m luck enough to enjoy an afternoon of art and libations at The View Winery under the tutelage of Jennifer Pickering.

Pickering is a stalwart member of Kelowna’s art

scene, although painting has never been her milieu.

Usually, when you think of this edgy, contemporary artist, you think of things like React 2010, the national interactive project reacting to the 2010 Olympics that garnered headlines in the Globe and Mail.

Pickering was the executive director of the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art for four-and-a-half years and has become adept at sussing out new adventures for herself with an up-

coming residency in Finland and a recent curatorial stint for a show at the En’owkin Centre focused on the impending end of days (as per Mayan Calendar).

But this summer, it’s others’ artistic adventures she’s developed an interest in—which is what brings us to the winery.

Pickering tries to explain colour theory to us as though it’s a language.

While we have hooker green and phthalo blue and a stunning turquoise that might colour our

lake perfectly on another afternoon, today’s palette is all about mixing various muddy grey hues, she says. “It takes about three months to start learning a new language, to get to that point where you’re dreaming in that language.

And I like to look at paining like a language,� said Pickering. “People think of it as something that’s an inborn talent; but if you put the time in, it’s something you can learn.�

JENNIFER PICKERING teaches the language of colour in vineyard gardens. afternoon and it’s doubtful three months will do it.

From hue to tone, we learn how to deconstruct the scene in front of us, to mix our colours to at least take a stab at creating a semblance of that Okanagan beauty—and it proves an interesting finishing note to a few participants’ vacations.

While Kelowna may be known for its lakeside fun in the sun, wine and art pairings are becoming a popular attraction in the valley. Summerhill Pyramid Winery is hosting lectures and shows, major musical performances at Cedar Creek Estate Winery and Mission

Hill Winery, and the Okanagan Erotic Art Show at Ex Nihilo, to name a scant few examples.

Yet, he idea for Pickering’s seminars didn’t come from the Okanagan at all. “I was visiting the South of France a whole bunch of years ago in search of this mountain CĂŠzanne painted‌and we stopped at this one winery that had a great view of the mountain and talked to the owners. My dad explained that the mountains looked like what we were looking for, and they said, ‘Oh yeah, CezannĂŠ used to paint here.’â€?

ment has produced a series of painting workshops with a clientele ranging from locals to tourists from all over Canada. “One couple took it because he liked to paint and she liked wine. But what she produced was really good, so she’s going to take some more workshops when they go back to Toronto,� said Pickering.

Pickering herself will be off to a major art adventure this fall in her Finland residency where she plans to set up a futuristic Mars CafĂŠ. “The idea is really in its infancy, but it’s based on a series of projects I’ve been working on about looking at the future and how we understand the present,â€? said Pickering. “It’s going to be an online project‌so it’s an opportunity to participate in a global conversation on some of the issues affecting our future—like the earth and our changing environment.â€?

Meantime, she’ll be enjoying a little wine and cheese as she paints with her winery groups from now through the end of the good weather.

The next workshops will be at Tantalus Vineyards (Aug. 9), Sonoran Estate Winery (Aug. 23 and 28), Arrowleaf Cellars (Sept. 6 and 11).

CD Reviews: Hits from J.Lo; arena intimacy from Sade Bruce Mitchell CONTRIBUTOR

JENNIFER LOPEZ: DANCE AGAIN‌THE HITS (EPIC) J.Lo has had plenty of hits dating back as far as the pre-millennium with songs such as If You Had My Love and the delightfully Latin tinged dance pop of Waiting For Tonight, so it is somewhat surprising to discover that Dance Again‌The Hits, is J.Lo’s first collection of chart topping songs.

There are a few lesser hits that did not make this anthology but the 16 tracks here collect most of the highlights along with two new songs to hook old and new fans alike into a purchase.

The lead off song and album title track, Dance Again, has a retro disco sound where Lopez seems to channel a little Donna Summer in the mix with the familiar lyric “love to make love to you baby� before Pitbull enters the mix for his run-ofthe-mill rap.

The other new track features Flo-Rida & Lil Jon for an electro pop

song Goin’ In that is synth heavy and not all that memorable but likely a hit anyway given the similar dreck on the airwaves right now.

In spite of J.Lo’s pop hits, I still think of her as mostly a star of the big (her turn in Selena is amazing) and small screen from her hit movies with George Clooney to the TV show American Idol. Hence this collection comes as a CD plus DVD set with many of her iconic music videos including a new one for the current hit Dance Again.

Also comes with a 24-page booklet full of cheesecake and fetish photos for the tried and true fan.

SADE: BRING ME HOME, LIVE 2011 (RCA/SONY) Last year Sade (still pronounced shar-day for the uninitiated) released a definitive double Best Of set as well as a live album from Munich. This new live recording has very little info in the liner notes but the title Bring Me Home would indicate Sade recorded this gig in her native U.K. and again in 2011 like the German gig.

However, this is a CD plus DVD set where the DVD is definitely the prize as it is the only disc that includes Sade’s biggest hits Smooth Operator and The Biggest Taboo which are not on the audio disc at all.

What is particularly impressive about this recording is its intimacy in an arena environment.

After the initial huge audi-

ence outburst of the opening song Soldier Of Love, the crowd settles down very respectfully to embrace the concert so that

wood blocks and shakers can be heard in the mix of Sade’s sophisto-pop “quiet storm�.

One doesn’t usual-

ly think of an arena as a place for sensuous, jazzy world beat music but Sade pulls it off.

TRAVEL Vacation homes look out Lori Johnston CONTRIBUTOR

When you’re paying for the view, a vacation home doesn’t need to have fussy decor or overthe-top interiors that distract from the setting.

“That’s the reason why they’re buying the house,” said Alicia Mooney-Macchia, owner of Ali-

cia Mooney Interiors, an interior designer at Lake Oconee, Ga. “What you want to do is walk in the house and look straight back at the view.”

Clean lines, linen fabrics and neutral colours are what’s in, she said.

“The layouts are more efficient and effective,” said Dan Jones, owner of Jones and Jones Premier Builders and president of the Lake Oconee Builders Association. “There’s not as much wasted square footage. Openness is a continuing trend.”

Carol Morrison, who owns a vacation home with husband Ken on the 10th hole of the Harbor Club golf course at Lake Oconee, said they used minimal window treatments to keep the house open and see the view.

signers and homeowners shared other ways to decorate vacation homes with the scenery in mind: Using nautical decor Keep it simple. Mooney-Macchia advises accessorizing with nautical items, such as old oars or glass fishing floats and buoys. Or a throw pillow could have a water motif.

Space for guests Requests for bunk-bed rooms are rising, especially as grandparents seek to accommodate multiple grandchildren during weekends and summers.

“One of the neat things we’ve done is bunk rooms,” Jones said. The main thing to consider is ceiling height—at least nine feet is optimal.

Stair South recently was installing bunk beds out of solid ash in Bert and Trudy Hene’s home at Harbor Club. The downstairs room will have seven beds. The couple first owned a three-bedroom,

2 1/2 bath condo at Lake Oconee, but last year they moved into a five-bedroom, 4 1/2 bath home.

“We have three children and we outgrew the condo. We have five grandchildren now,” said Trudy. “We just knew that we wanted something bigger, that if all the kids came, and grandkids, we would have enough room for everybody.”

Going big While much of the time is spent outdoors, homeowners are placing a greater emphasis on creating large spaces for themselves and their guests to eat indoors.

Chamberlain is seeing an increase in requests for massive tables that seat 12 to 16 people.

The Henes have a custom 12-foot table at their lake home.

“We had it made to look like a picnic table, but it’s real heavy wood,” Trudy said.

Mercedes-Benz drops price of E Class for 2012 edition Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

CONTRIBUTED

THE ALL NEW 2012 Mercedes-Benz E 300 4MATIC boasts a conservative, yet athletic exterior, with taut lines, swept-back trapezoidal

headlamps and pronounced wheel arches. This new model, starting at $57,900, provides a lower entry point to the E-Class.

I had always thought of the Mercedes-Benz EClass as a bit of a grandpa car. Kind of stodgy and non-descript, with soft feminine lines accented by swept-back round headlamps—all making a forgettable first impression.

The look said ‘retirement’ and I half expected to see the Tilley hat on its list of standard content.

Not so with the redesigned E-Class sedan, which bowed in 2009 for the 2010 model year.

The all-new ninth generation boasted a sportier, more athletic design with standard AMG styling (from M-B’s performance division), featuring low and aggressive side sills, and front and rear aprons.

The sedan’s front end, with its quad, trapezoidal headlamps, swept back dynamically, while its long flanks were punctuated by a character line that carried upward from the front wheel arch through the door handles to the

pronounced rear fender.

It was a tauter, more muscular look, but the familiar three-pointed star remained on the hood, where it belongs.

Since then, there haven’t been many changes, other than some minor tweaks to colour, packaging and technology.

And of course, the introduction of a new model: the E 300 4Matic, my tester for the week.

The E 300 is a new model for 2012.

It provides a lower entry point for the popular E-Class, which encompasses—with and without 4Matic AWD— coupes, wagons, cabriolets, and five sedan models from the base E 300 (MSRP $57,900) to the top-tier E 63 AMG that delivers more than twice the horsepower at just a tick under $100,000.

The sedan lineup also includes the E 350 BlueTEC diesel, and later this year, the E 400 hybrid.

MOTORING

A Gift in Memory Belt tightens, seat lifts if crash sensed Makes a Difference E-Class for every budget, but there’s plenty of variety—from mild to somewhat wild.

The E 300 is more on the mild side, with its standard 3.5-litre 24-valve DOHC V6 providing 248 hp and 251 lb/ft of torque.

That’s slightly detuned from last year’s 3.5 V6 (268 hp, 258 lb/ft), which in the E 350 now delivers 302 hp and 273 lb/ft of torque.

But for a little less power and a few omissions on the standard content list, the E 300 4Matic comes in $9,100 less than the E 350 4Matic sedan.

Sure, you don’t get the Parktronic parking guidance system, heated steering wheel and AMG styling package (front/rear apron, side skirts) found on its pricier sibling, nor do you receive the larger 18-inch alloys (E 300 rolls on 17-inchers).

But all that and more can be ordered, if you choose.

What you do get for a starting MSRP of $57,900 is Thermatic automatic climate control; 14-way power and heated front seats with memory; 12-button multi-function, power tilt/telescopic steering; power windows with express up/down for all; two-stage rain-sensing wipers; sunroof; automatic headlamps and LED tail lamps.

Also standard is the COMAND system, which features a seven-inch colour display and controls your audio system, phone, optional navigation, system functions and more.

It’s relatively easy, once you get the hang of it—a crash course by M-B’s public relations rep saved me a lot of reading.

And on the safety front, you get the usual complement of airbags along with electronic stability control, acceleration skid control (ASR), ABS with brake assist, brake pad wear indicator, and a couple of other items worth noting.

Attention Assist uses a complex of sensors and software to create a unique driving profile during your first 20 minutes of driving.

If it later picks up any signs of drowsiness, such as erratic steering, you get an audible warning and a coffee cup icon with a

CONTRIBUTED

BLACK LEATHER, dark ash wood trim and subtle metallic highlights complement the wealth of technology found throughout the E 300 interior. The COMAND system, although complex, is easily controlled by a knob, just ahead of the armrest, that works like a computer mouse.

Time for a Rest? message.

Pre-Safe is another useful nanny. When the system senses an impending crash, it takes protective measures like automatically applying tension to the seatbelts, repositioning an overly reclined front seat, and even closing the sunroof and side windows if anticipating a rollover.

Indeed, the E 300 comes standard with plenty of tech, but at its fairly steep pricetag, I was surprised by some omissions. Keyless-Go (with pushbutton start) is not included in the base package (nor is it standard on the E 350); ditto for the rearview camera. Some cars at less than half the price now come with these features.

There are several packages to option up the E 300, and my tester included two of these:

$1,990 for leather upholstery instead of the Artico man-made leather that looks and feels pretty close to the real thing, and the Premium Package, which for $3,900 seems a pretty good deal.

All E-Class sedans, except for the diesel and the high-performance E 63 AMG, get 4Matic allwheel-drive. It’s 30 degrees C at the time of writing, but I’ve tested 4Matic in some truly horrid winter weather and was impressed with its capability.

The system has a slight rear bias (45:55 front/rear), but can route power 30:70 or 70:30 depending on where it’s needed.

The E 300 Sedan also gets the 7G-Tronic Plus seven-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel paddle shifters.

adapt to your driving style and can skip several gears when downshifting. And at the same time, it is exceptionally smooth.

This powertrain is all very civilized, but the E 300 still doesn’t come up short when passing and launches with authority— zero to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds. That’s plenty fast for an executive sedan.

There’s ample competition in this segment: BMW 5-Series, Audi A6, the Infiniti M and Lexus GS, to name a few.

All are superb vehicles, and I’d be happy to park any of these in my driveway.

At this level, it’s not just about content levels and performance, but brand cachet.

And on that note alone, few manufacturers measure up to MercedesBenz and its iconic threepointed star.

RYAN, PATRICK ROBERT 1953 – 2012 On July 30, 2012, Patrick passed away peacefully at home at the age of 59.

He was born in Hamilton, Ontario, as the third of six brothers. As a young man, he joined the Navy and later pursued a career in banking finance.

Patrick was a long-time coach and organizer of Minor Ball and Minor Hockey throughout the province. In his middle years, he launched a successful online ministry called Midnight Ministries, and dedicated himself to his church and various non-profit organizations. At the time of his death, Patrick was pursuing a career in counseling.

Patrick moved to Kelowna in 1997 where he met Ralph & Donna Bromley.

They took him by the hand and served as mentors and dear friends.

Through the Bromleys, Patrick became connected with New Life Church where he served faithfully until his passing. He is survived by his loving children, Sean and Cary, his brothers, Len, Dennis, Terry and Joe and his adopted family, the Swensons.

Patrick’s Celebration of Life will take place at New Life Church, 2041 Harvey Avenue, Kelowna, BC on Tuesday, August 7th at 2 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the New Life Church Benevolence Fund.

here is an old adage— ‘Don’t wait for spring, do it now’—that is applicable to the current status of mortgage interest rates.

Canadians are being warned time and time again by the Bank of Canada to put our financial houses in order.

If you have credit card debt or other high interest loans combined with a high level of equity in your house, then you need to get your fiscal situation in order by getting your credit payments to a liveable level—and toss the credit cards.

Refinancing $40,000 of consumer debt could drop your payments by as much as $1,000/month.

Canadians would be wise to take proactive steps to anticipate and prepare for a crisis that is headed for Canada.

The best thing all of us can do is go back to the basics of prudence and financial management. While recessions come and go, it is the weak fiscal hands that get into trouble.

Here is a checklist to help avoid financial troubles down the road: • Build up a safety nest of at least six month’s expenses.

Local real estate agents Annette Lipkovits and Maureen Yakimchuk have had their heart strings pulled by the plight of the children of Nepal.

After reading the book Little Princes by Connor Grennan, Lipkovits felt she needed to do something to make a difference.

In 2011, Lipkovits and her daughter, Kelsey, spent three months working with the Umbrella Foundation in an orphanage in Swoyambhu, Nepal.

She was overwhelmed by what a difference they could make by simply giving the children individual attention.

After her return from Nepal, Lipkovits learned of a local organization, IWEN, a volunteer based, non-profit charity that focuses on providing education and scholarships for

females in rural Nepal.

This past year Annette and Yakimchuk, both seasoned real estate agents with Century 21 Assurance Realty Ltd., decided that even though the real estate business is very demanding for time and energy, they both wanted to make a difference in the world.

Lipkovits wanted to spend more time in Nepal so this past spring returned there, this time with her husband, a local firefighter.

For her part, Yakimchuk took care of all of Lipkovits’ clients while she was away, giving her fellow realtor the peace of mind to focus on the children of Nepal.

With a young daughter of her own, Yakimchuk said she also has compassion for the plight of the children and was happy to help out.

As a business partnership, the two realtors have also chosen to financial assist IWEN by donating 25 per cent of their commissions they earn on sales from IWEN supporter referrals.

To learn more about IWEN visit their website www.iwencanada.com.

The public can also support the Umbrella Foundation by participating in the 2nd annual Umbrella Foundation Golf Tournament at the Gallagher’s Canyon-Pinnacle course on Aug. 30.

The fundraising event includes nine holes of golf, dinner, door prizes and a silent auction,.

All proceeds raised from this event will go directly to the Umbrella Foundation sponsored children. To learn more about the foundation visit the website www.umbrellanepal.org.

Realtors help transform Habitat duplex landscape Central Okanagan area realtors converged on Habitat for Humanity Kelowna’s Elk Road property in West Kelowna for a landscaping blitz last weekend.

In a matter of hours, the bare front yards were transformed with sod donated by NutriLawn and drought-resistant plants from The Greenery.

Shee Wee Construction, Sun-Oka Valley Transport and Burnco Rock Products provided landscape rock, while T. Lewis Trucking supplied topsoil.

Other Westside businesses such as Home Depot Westbank, Dogwood Nurseries and Bylands provided gardening supplies.

A longtime Habitat supporter, Westside Rentals, provided a bobcat, as did Accent Homes.

“It was pretty hot this past weekend,” said Brian Wrightson, chair of Habitat’s build committee. “But the realtors just jumped in and got things done. They did a wonderful job.”

In keeping with Habitat for Humanity’s principle of “a hand up, not a hand out,” members of the partner families who reside in the two duplexes also helped with the blitz.

The hard-working realtors enjoyed a lunch supplied by the Hungry Hound.

Additional donors to the project included Coldwell Banker Horizon Re-

CENTRAL OKANAGAN realtors were out in force last weekend to help with a landscaping blitz for the latest home building project sponsored by the Kelowna chapter of Habitat for Humanity, a duplex on Elk Road in West Kelowna. alty, Aclands Landscaping, and Joel Sherlock of Re/Max Kelowna.

Founded in 1992, Habitat for Humanity Kelowna is a non-profit organization working towards a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live.

Their mission is to mobilize volunteers and community partners in

building affordable housing and promoting home ownership as a means to breaking the cycle of poverty.

The volunteer organization has provided 22 families with safe, decent and affordable housing in the Central Okanagan.

Habitat for Humanity Kelowna is one of 72 Canadian affiliates and is a mem-

ber of Habitat for Humanity International, which has built or renovated more than 400,000 houses worldwide, providing shelter for more than two million people since it was founded in 1976.

ith the economy slowly clawing its way out from under Canada’s drastic setback of 2008, sellers are now asking themselves: “Why hasn’t my place sold yet?”

Last month’s Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board’s stats revealed there were 1,775 single family residential homes on the REAL ESTATE market, but only 205 single RUNDOWN family homes sold.

The condo situation is no better, that market having become quite saturated.

There were 977 condominiums on the market last Ceinwen month and a mere 79 sold.

Morgan However, sales are up overall some 8.6 per cent from 2011 in the Central Okanagan.

But still, it leaves sellers to wonder, with the 11 per cent of single family homes and eight per cent of condominiums sold, why wasn’t their property one of them?

The answer is quite simple—it’s either price or patience. You can either be at the front of the line with price point or just become patient and wait for the right buyer to walk through your door.

In 2011, David Madani, an economist with Capital Economics, predicted a drastic 25 per cent drop in housing prices across Canada.

This turned out to be a false prediction that spooked the country into believing that there could be another recession. But again on July 25, Madani reiterated his prediction once again.

The Canadian Real Estate Association has recently updated its forecast for 2012, with a prediction that British Columbia will have a slight slowdown to reflect a decrease in sale prices by 3.4 per cent.

However, CREA said national resale housing activity should be around 458,800 units in 2012, representing an annual increase of 0.3 per cent compared to 457,305 sales in 2011.

So once again you can see the contrasting predictions among the economists.

With interest rates remaining at an all-time low, this might help to offset the real estate economy’s outcome and push it into a more positive light.

“Interest rates aren’t going to be low forever, but they’re not going anywhere fast,” said Gregory Klump, CREA’s chief economist.

Amidst all the negative reports, the Interior is seeing a slight continued growth in sales, but sellers will still have to ponder what the deciding factor will be when it comes to selling their property. Will it be price or will it be patience?
