Major Midget Rockets build for success Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Time has faded the memories a little, but Kelowna hockey product Brendan Ellis still remembers the 2005-06 season for the Okanagan Rockets major midget hockey team.

It was just the second year of the fledgling B.C. Major Midget League and Ellis and the Okanagan Rockets had completed a pretty good regular season, finishing third in the 11 team league consisting of clubs representing different regional areas of the province.

The Rockets featured 10 15-year-old players, several of whom were from Vernon and Penticton, as well as Kelowna. In the playoffs, the Rockets knocked off the Thompson Blazers and then the Vancouver NorthWest Giants to claim the first and only championship banner the Rockets have ever won in the league.

“We were alright during the year,” says Ellis, a 6-foot-3 defenceman heading into his third season of NCAA hockey at Merrimack College.

“But by the time the playoffs came around, we were rolling. We definitely peaked at the right time. We weren’t supposed to win it and we did.”

Ellis and the rest of the 2005-06 Okanagan Rockets will be honoured this year as the Rockets roll out an alumni wall at the Capital News Centre that will honour players

Brendan Ellis who have suited up for the team over the years.

Along with the championship team, the Rockets will feature many of its players who have moved on to higher levels of hockey.

Chief among them will be the only three Okanagan Rockets alumni ever to be drafted into the NHL— Edmonton draft pick and former Team Canada World Junior player Curtis Hamilton and brothers Kyle and Cody Beach.

“I think it’s important to recognize the volunteers, coaches and players who have come before us and helped lay the foundation of this program,” says current team manager David Michaud.

“It’s about creating a legacy. I want the kids who walk into CNC to see who played for us. As a group we want to work hard to recognize our success and draw attention to it.”

While winning the BCMML title again has turned out to be a pretty tough gig, even tougher is the battle major midget teams face when they have won the prov-

incal title and have to face teams from Alberta to try to advance to the Canadian championships.

Traditionally B.C. has lagged behind Alberta and Saskatchewan when you compare the province’s top midget leagues.

In 05-06, the Rockets faced the Calgary Buffaloes, featuring a 17-yearold Jordan Eberle.

Now a star for the Edmonton Oilers, Eberle would score seven goals combined in back-to-back 8-3 wins over Okanagan, ending the team’s season.

••• One of the original theories behind the B.C. Major Midget League was to provide a place for talented midget hockey players to play while keeping them closer to home as opposed to moving away from home to play junior hockey at a young age.

Unlike in Saskatchewan, where major midget teams are mostly privately or community owned, B.C. Hockey runs the BCMML, decides who the coaches are and controls much of the decision making from its central office.

The first coaches B.C. Hockey hired were longtime Kelowna bench bosses Ken Andrusiak and Grant Sheridan, who delivered the championship in the team’s second season.

“The original concept of the major midget league was pretty darn good,” says Andrusiak.

“The league was going to sell all kinds of ad-

vertising, everything was going to be paid for and there was going to be enough money to pay coaches. The problem was nobody had any kind of autonomy.”

To help offset costs of playing for the team Andrusiak sold sponsorships during his time at the helm.

It was a move that ultimately led to the league’s decision to replace the pair behind the bench for the 200708 season, according to Andrusiak, now the head coach of the Kelowna Chiefs junior B hockey program.

“The most successful midget league on Earth is in Saskatchewan,” says Andrusiak.

“There are 12 teams, all individually owned and operated. Some are private, some are community owned and some are attached to schools.

They run that league like the WHL. They are very successful and they produce a lot of players. The way it’s run here out of the central office everyone has to be the same.

There is no autonomy.”

According to sources, revenue sharing amongst the teams within the league continues to be something that is discussed at league meetings although B.C. Hockey appears to have loosened its grip on individual teams.

For the past three seasons Rockets manager David Michaud says he has been able to operate with autonomy but admits that there is talk at

Amateur,” says Hamilton.

“I think that’s imperative. They have to do some fundraising on their own. They have to work at it. The parents make a huge financial commitment for these kids to play and the teams still have to raise some money.

I’ve watched this league evolve and I think B.C. Amateur has learned they have to let each organization have some independence on how they run their teams.”

••• So, heading into year

David Michaud number nine for the BCMML, the league continues to evolve and most importantly is giving hockey players the chance to move up to higher levels.

According to the Okanagan Rockets, nearly 50 per cent of the players that have played with the Rockets since 2005 have gone on to play major junior or junior A hockey. On the ice the team has had its share of success and failure. But that is sports.

Off the ice the Rockets continue to be a leader within the league.

“If you play for the Okanagan Rockets you basically have a one-intwo chance of moving to a higher level,” says Michaud.

“We are a stepping

stone to get to the next level. I don’t think most people give us credit for our place in the hockey landscape. But hopefully that’s changing and people are starting to realize the value of our program.”

The Okanagan Rockets open its largest training camp ever this weekend.

Housing starts drop in Kelowna

Man arrested after stabbing

Kathy Michaels STAFF REPORTER

Housing starts in Kelowna were halved this July, compared to the same period last year due to the continuation of a market correction.

The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation reported Friday that there were 81 Kelowna area housing starts in July 2012 compared to 173 housing starts in July

2011. “The general trend in Kelowna is that total housing starts are down because multi-family starts are down,� said regional economist Carol Frketich.

The market continues to deal with Kelowna’s oversupply of condos, which means there won’t be a lot of incentive to build more until they’ve been sopped up.

Some growth can be found in the single de-

tached market. “Detached home starts were up by half in July 2012 from the same month a year ago,� said Frketich.

Even those numbers, however, aren’t near previous peak numbers.

It’s all par for the course from CMHC’s point of view, as 2012 wasn’t anticipated to be a year of major growth.

Looking to 2013 there may be a change, she

said. “Our forecast for next year in Kelowna is a pickup in activity,� she said.

Regionally, the conditions were much the same.

Kamloops and Vernon housing starts were lower compared to levels recorded in July 2011.

In the Penticton area, starts increased from a year earlier. kmichaels@kelownacapnews.com

Passionate about food

A Kelowna man is in custody and facing potential charges of aggravated assault following a Wednesday night stabbing.

Kelowna Mounties received a report of a stabbing on the 1800-block of Abbott Street, at 5:13 p.m., Aug. 8. “Reports indicated that two men got into a physical altercation that escalated to the 50-year-old Kelowna man stabbing the other,� said Const. Kris Clark. “The suspect was arrested at the scene within minutes of the report and remains in custody.

A 48-year old Kelowna man was rushed to hospital with serious, but nonlife threatening injuries.

He is currently listed in stable condition.�

Kelowna RCMP continues to investigate.

The Kelowna suspect was expected to appear in court Thursday and faces a potential charge of aggravated assault. ••• One of Kelowna’s new crop of alleged public masturbators has been identified and apprehended.

A 34-year-old Kelowna man was taken into custody as a result of the investigation of several reports of indecent acts near Watt Road, on Aug. 8. “The man was identified with the help of tips from the public stemming from the release of the suspect photo last month,� said Const. Kris Clark. “The man has since

been released by a justice of the peace on an undertaking for court on Sept.

10.�

He has been placed on several conditions that restrict his access to certain public areas and prohibit him from being around children under the age of 16.

Due to a publication ban, and to protect the identity of any victims, the man’s name cannot be released at this time.

This was just one of several creep sightings in the last month.

The most high profile being the YMCA/ YWCA incident where a man forced a child to watch as he fondled himself in front of her. Police released a sketch of that man on Wednesday.

West Kelowna library to expand Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

West Kelowna bookworms will have a bigger space to roam around early next month.

The Westside library, located in Westridge Mall at 2484 Main St., will be closed from Aug. 26 to Sept. 4 as workers begin renovations to expand the current branch by more than 50 per cent.

“The population has been growing in West Kelowna,” said Mary O’Brien, public relations officer for Okanagan Regional Library.

“Westbank’s (branch) had been under-serving the community in terms of the size that it should be for a couple of years now.”

O’Brien said there was some consideration given

to moving the branch; however, the former Dollar Store, which is located next door, vacated, making it possible for the library to expand.

“It worked out very well that we are able to knock down the wall and take over that space as well.”

The current square footage of the library is 6,095—the renovations will add another 3,920 square feet to the branch.

O’Brien said the West Kelowna branch is the sixth busiest of 29 branches in the Okanagan Regional Library system.

In 2011, 116,859 people visited the Westside library.

The expansion will feature a larger children’s area, increased seating and studying spaces, the addition of a public meet-

Police nab a ‘prolific offender’

West Kelowna RCMP were called to a suspicious vehicle complaint on Harold Road, Wednesday.

“While en route to the complaint the member observed a dark-coloured Jeep Cherokee pulling an ATV,” said Cpl. Barbara Holley.

“When the member activated his emergency lights to check the two occupants, they abandoned the ATV and fled the area.

The suspect vehicle was pursued and located, abandoned on Sheena Road.

Police dog services were called out to assist with the investigation.”

The dog tracked the suspect, and found him hiding in the bush.

“The suspect, a 36-year-old man from Surrey, was arrested and is currently being held in custody,” she said.

Holley described the man as a “prolific offender” who is well-known to police in the Lower Mainland. The second man was not located and his identity is unknown. Three quads were recovered in the Reece and Elliot Road area, all owned by a resident of Harold Road in West Kelowna.

••• Kelowna Mounties seized two boats last weekend that police believe were stolen and their hull identification num-

bers altered.

The Kelowna RCMP checked a vessel at the Eldorado boat launch on Aug. 4.

“The black F23 Tomcat was found to have an altered HIN and its corresponding trailer had no visible VIN. The pair were seized as stolen property and a 31-year-old Surrey man taken into custody and released on a promise to appear for court in September,” said Const. Kris Clark.

ing room, two fire places and a cafe counter where the public can plug in their laptops and other mobile devices.

The library will remain open for much of the construction; therefore, visitors are warned some noise and disorder are to be expected during the transition.

“Customers might notice some disruptions, some noise, some mess.

We try to minimize it, but it’s hard when there are

workers going in and out and walls coming down.”

According to O’Brien, an eventual expansion to the library in Summerland is also a priority for the Okanagan Regional Library.

“The board has been wanting to work on an expansion in Summerland for many years. It’s a matter of just trying to find proper space in that community and how to fund it,” she said. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com

Snipping city taxes=no snipping unsightly weeds

I

f you were to tune in to all the chatter the topic of weeds elicited this week, you’d think that Kelowna was turning into a post apocalyptic wasteland.

“The weeds are like a foot-and-a-half high down Harvey Avenue,” said Coun. Andre Blanleil, claiming the sight causes him consternation and embarrassment.

“Sorry, it looked like Detroit,” responded city manager, Ron Mattiussi.

Pithy dialogue is always enjoyable in council chambers, but the conversation planted a seed and the next day the airwaves were chock-o-block with even more plant-related histrionics, causing me a bit of consternation of my own.

Calling in to the local radio talk

show, Kelowna residents expressed concern that we live in a city being consumed by weeds and chipped in ideas how to win the war.

In short, Agent OrKathy ange may finally be getMichaels ting cleaned up from Vietnam this year, but locals would welcome its use on Ministry of Highway maintained medians, cityowned fields and boulevards, schoolyards and other urban areas.

In the words of a bloated Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now: “The horror, the horror.”

Maybe it’s because I find dandelions to be quite pretty and actually enjoy yanking out other weeds when it’s time to plant my garden that this line of conversation didn’t work for me.

KATHARTIC

More likely it’s because it’s been made abundantly clear that these chemicals don’t just kill weeds and then disappear from our world.

They go into the water, our lungs, our skin and they’ve been blamed for everything from cancer to birth defects.

So unless it’s absolutely necessary they should be treated with caution and fear, and generally avoided. It means more work, for sure, but short-cuts around manual labour are how things got out of control in the first place.

Problem is, the same people who don’t want to look at weeds also don’t want to pay for their removal.

Harvey Avenue’s medians are a provincial matter, but the city itself has its fair share of weeds to whack thanks to a wet start to summer, but it’s not being done in the name of fiscal prudence.

Last year when council was doing its budgetary magic, aiming for a zero

tax increase, one of the items that got snipped was weed control.

A contractor that trims weeds coming up on curb lines and city-owned medians used to show up twice a year, but was cut back to once.

A couple hundred walkways that were once treated with frequent weed control now only get snipped twice a year. And summer students who usually are hired to deal with noxious weeds just weren’t employed.

Financially strapped Kelowna residents applauded the zero-tax effort when it was announced, but next time they feel frustrated by the unsightliness of Mother Nature it might behoove them to remember the old adage, “you reap what you sow.”

Police report doesn’t tell whole story

To the editor: Re: Centre of Gravity Not a Source Of Kelowna Mounties’ Frustration, Aug. 7 Capital news web site.

Regarding the Center of Gravity (formally Wake-fest, which had been canceled due to violence in the past) event in Kelowna this past long weekend.

My son, along with his friends, have attended and had an enjoyable time the

past couple of years. The media has reported it as a great success without any incidents.

So, what happened?

My son and his friend (Liam and Jesse) were walking back to their hotel room late Sunday night when they were assaulted by a group of six males.

Bystanders called 911.

An ambulance arrived and both were hospitalized with serious facial injuries.

While in the hospital my son spoke with three other people who were also hospitalized with similar injuries and assaulted in a similar way.

Out-numbered and surprised by the same group.

According to my son, the police were in the area but did not pursue the assailants. The group just walked away.

We have sent emails to the RCMP in Kelowna.

No replies received.

I think the police did not do due diligence in protecting the attendees, and now seem to be hiding the info.

Bob Dhillon, Clearwater I would also like to voice my concern and shock.

I am the mother of Jesse who is currently still waiting for surgery on his face. He has multiple fractures and needs plates put

in his face.

Jesse and Liam were attacked for no reason.

We have not heard back from the RCMP, not even a call to say that they are proceeding with an investigation.

Maybe if it was in the news, maybe someone would come forward and call Crime Stoppers.

Donna Akers, Clearwater

2. Prohibition not only doesn’t do what it was supposed to do (reduce drug usage) but it creates more harm—huge cost increases, user deaths from adulterated drugs, police corruption, etc., than if the drugs had remained legal.

3. Is it too much to expect that our laws be logical? If marijuana is so dangerous that it should be prohibited, why on earth do we allow alcohol to be legally purchased? I would be interested in Mr. Mellis’s position on returning to the days of alcohol prohibition. Would you prefer a drunk driver “coming at you on a rainy night with your family strapped in the car” to one who had smoked a few marijuana joints?

Alan Randell, Victoria

To the editor: In response to the letter We’d be Crazy to Legalize Marijuana.

I found the letter to be totally off the mark and typical of the kind of thinking that leads to misplaced blame. There is so much written about marijuana and its use that I would invite Mr. Mellis to do a bit more investigation before levelling such criticism.

A few points in response: Any person who would do a dangerous job such as he illustrated has a responsibility to the safety of fellow workers. A marijuana-stoned idiot is the same as a drunk idiot or drugged idiot—the operative word is idiot not marijuana. Someone in that condition should be dealt with as severely as a sleep-

deprived bus driver high on legal amphetamines or a pilot with an elevated blood alcohol level. Stupid behaviour will not be eliminated by prohibiting any substance.

Most marijuana users are no more ‘addicted’ to marijuana than someone who has a beer after a round of golf or at a hockey game is an ‘alcoholic.’

A few may be and they should have support and counselling to eliminate the dependency, but not reefer madness-style prohibition.

Prohibition of alcohol has been tried—it didn’t work. It cost society greatly in money diverted to policing and fuelled the growth of organized crime. The failed war on drugs still drains billions of dollars from the budget that could be much better

spent on health care, education and the arts.

Marijuana has been used for millennia in a positive way for spiritual rituals and for health purposes. It is an excellent appetite-enhancer and pain reliever. For instance, it has proven particularly effective in relieving the symptoms of MS. There is much more study to be done regarding its positive and negative effects, let’s do that study without the overhanging cloud of illegality.

Let adults make their own choices and legislate where those choices could be dangerous (operating heavy equipment, flying, driving etc.) or unhealthy (second-hand smoke in public places).

To the editor: Re: We’d Be Crazy to Legalize Marijuana, Aug. 7 Capital News.

Well count me among the crazies.

Here are my comments to Brian Mellis’s well-written but misguided letter: 1. Governments are not all-powerful. Some laws are totally unkenforceable and should never have been placed on the books in the first place. The prime example rof this, of course, is the law that seeks to punish citizens for ingesting certain drugs deemed harmful by our know-it-all politicians. Unfortunately, the police, who by rights should be advising us of this fact, have clearly decided to support the law because it increases police power and budgets.

passing rings true for us.

We may not be aware of how much meaning and routine pets bring to our lives until they are no longer with us.

They are very faithful, always patient, never moody and forever happy to see us with a wagging tail.

They bring great joy to a person’s life and every

study I have read shows dog owners to be generally happier and healthier for owning a pet.

Thank you to Charlie for spreading the joy of pet ownership and the heartbreak of losing a pet to all your readers.

musician Floyd Vedan have rallied around the fine fellow and formed a fundraiser set for Sept. 6.

Floydfest is set for the Kelowna Community Theatre, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and music starting soon after.

The fundraiser will include musicians such as Darby Mills, a reunion of Ten2Nine, Fields of Green, Leah West and many more.

Admission is by donation, with Rosie’s Water Front Pub playing host.

Vedan, a talented guitarist and singer and very popular in the Okanagan music scene was brutally assaulted last month and suffered significant injuries. He is still recovering from the attack.

Anyone wanting to donate items for the silent auction is asked to call Bernadette at 250-2155777.

••• Okanagan artists are starting to gather for another new interesting art related event.

Art at the Roxby is the initiative of the Uptown Rutland Business Association and sees area artists show their talent at Roxby Plaza in Rutland every Saturday.

The project is part of a goal of establishing an Artists’ Centre in the Rutland Town Centre, according to URBA executive director Deborah Guthrie.

Art at the Roxby is an opportunity for emerging visual and performance

artists to introduce themselves to the public.

The event takes place at Roxby Plaza, (on Highway33 across from Plaza 33) every Saturday, from 11a.m. to 3 p.m. (depending on weather and artists preference.)

Visual artists are invited to set-up and display their art and performance artists are invited to take part and showcase their talents.

For more details and to register on-line, visit www.uptownrutland.com or call the URBA office 250-451-9861 or cell 250470-8236.

••• Speaking of fundraisers, here is a worthy cause being assisted by a local company.

The Canadian Red Cross—well known for responding and assisting others during disasters, is in constant need of volunteers and funds.

This summer the Southern Interior Regional office has already been extremely busy helping victims with floods, fires, and other local emergencies.

The Red Cross largely relies on donations from individuals and corporations in order to fund their programs–and one group has stepped up to the plate.

Wal-Mart is the largest corporate supporter of the Red Cross, and each August the company holds their annual fundraising

Finding your inner Olympian–one chocolate bar at a time

S

ince the Olympics started over a week ago, the continual stream of kids’ shows that normally dominates the television in my house has been replaced by Olympic coverage, much to my seven-year-old brother Jack’s dismay.

And while my family enjoys watching the events, we all share in his bitter feelings to some extent as we watch athletes showcase abilities that seem to correspond better

YOUTH NEWS

Amber Kogel with demigods than human beings. In attempts to increase our self-esteem, we frequently make comments like “I think that level of fitness is almost unhealthy,” or “I

could run that fast if I really wanted to.”

This is especially true for myself, as I have never been much good at sports.

All of my physical education classes at school strangely resembled episodes of America’s Funniest Home Videos. And during baseball, I eventually resorted to picking up the base and running around with it instead of trying to tag the runner (their home run doesn’t count if they

haven’t touched all the bases).

But as I’ve watched the Olympics this year, I’ve realized that in some ways, my life does parallel that of an Olympic athlete.

First of all, I can relate to the dedication, time, and sacrifice that are all components of an Olympian’s training, as I showcase them in my love for cats.

Since my dad and I both have allergies, the

closest I can get to owning one is making friends with the neighbours’ cats.

In addition to sacrificing the comfort of eyes that don’t feel like they’re burning, I’ve taken time out of my days to build my relationships with these cats (which really looks more like me stalking them and pretending that I live there when a car drives by).

I can also relate to Olympic athletes in the elements that surround

their performances. The other day I went paddle boarding for the first time with a couple of friends, and any time one of us fell over, I could feel the unspoken mockery emanating from the witnesses on the beach.

In the same way that Olympic athletes feel pressure from their worldwide audience, it often feels like everyone is watching you, waiting for you to trip up the stairs or spill food on your shirt.

Thankfully, chances are that you’re not being filmed on international television and your embarrassing moment is unlikely to turn into a viral YouTube video.

For me, celebratory moments that involve this sort of public pressure and performance are often succeeded by my equiva-

lent of an Olympic medal—a Hershey’s Cookies and Cream chocolate bar.

After I gave my valedictorian speech, my parents presented me with one of these and I accepted it with the same ecstasy with which an Olympic athlete receives a medal.

I realize this makes my life sound incredibly pitiable, and the more I think about it, my comparisons to the life of an Olympian probably just stem from my athletic insecurities. But on the bright side, that means I can fully enjoy chocolate bars without worrying about their effect on my sports activities.

Wal-Mart helps the Red Cross Hodge from A12 campaign to support local disaster response activities.

“This year’s campaign runs from Aug 2 to 26. The national goal this year is an ambitious of $3.2 million. The financial goal in B.C. and Yukon is $346, 000,” said Jan Bowden, manager of

fund development for the B.C. Southern Interior Canadian Red Cross in Kelowna.

The annual Wal-Mart campaign is now in its ninth year and their contribution in 2010-11 raised and donated over $3 million in Canada.

Paul Latimer The statement may indeed be correct, but there are a lot of misconceptions out there about what constitutes psychosis and what it means for someone to be psychotic.

Psychosis is actually a symptom rather than an illness in itself. Psychotic episodes are experienced in several psychiatric disorders as well as some general medical conditions and as a result of substance use.

So what does psychosis entail? It is derived from the Greek words “psyche” for mind and “osis” for abnormal condition—and that is truly what it is—an abnormal condition of the mind. It is used in connection with a disconnection with reality as with hallucinations and delusions.

When people are hearing or seeing things that others around them cannot hear or see, we say they are hallucinating and are psychotic.

Hallucinations involve perceiving things that are not there or are unreal.

Hearing voices is one of the more commonly portrayed types of hallucinations, especially in schizophrenia.

There are also olfactory hallucinations when a person smells something that is not there or tactile hallucinations when someone, feels something that is not there such as insects or parasites crawling in their skin.

Delusions are fixed beliefs that are out of keeping with those in one’s social circle. Paranoid delusions are among See LartimerA20

As mentioned above psychosis can occur as a symptom in schizophre-

psychotic symptoms can also occur from the use of street drugs.

Psychosis is more common than you might think, affecting more than one in every 100 people.

A psychotic episode can occur only once in a person’s life or as a recurring

symptom.

Since psychosis is by definition an abnormal brain state involving a disconnection with reality, they can be dangerous.

those around them.

Treatment for psychosis depends to some degree on what is causing the symptom.

Often, hospital admission is necessary in the midst of a psychotic episode for the safety of the patient and others.

There are a number of antipsychotic medications such as quetiapine, risperidone, olanzapine, and aripiprazole to name a few.

These will provide symptomatic relief in most situations.

Psychosis is a serious symptom and a physician should always be consulted as quickly as possible if the cause and appropriate treatment are unknown.

SPORTS Eyes on WHL Kevin Parnell

credits the BCMML for helping him develop as a player.

“It’s a good league,” he said. “It got me ready for moving on. We were on the ice pretty much everyday and I got lots of opportunities to play on the power play and the penalty kill.”

The Rockets 2012-13 training camp began with registration on Thursday night and continues through the weekend.

With 115 kids registered through B.C. Hockey it will be one of the largest camps in the league history and an increase from two years ago when 70 players registered for the Rockets camp.

“I think that shows where we are at,” said Rockets manager David Michaud. “We’re encouraging players to come to camp and see what our program is all about.”

The Rockets draw players from a regional area stretching from Osoyoos to Vernon. It means the best players in many small towns have the opportunity to play high level hockey if they are good enough. But that also means the team must work with minor hockey organizations in those towns and cities.

“It’s important for us to have a great relationship

STAFF REPORTER

Okanagan Rockets player Parker Bowles has spent the majority of his off season working out and getting ready for what he hopes is the next phase of his hockey career.

After moving to Kelowna last summer, Bowles starred for the Rockets major midget team last season, leading the team in scoring with 35 goals and 36 assists in 40 games played.

That led the Western Hockey League’s Tri City Americans to add Bowles to its protected list. He played a pair of games with the Americans and plans to stick in the WHL this season.

“I definitely want to play there,” said Bowles.

“When I played those games it was really fast.

It’s a lot faster game with bigger players. I’ve been working out hard to get stronger and get conditioned for training camp.”

While Bowles continues to get ready for the Americans training camp, which will take place later in the month, this week he will watch as more than 100 youngsters hit the ice in Kelowna for the Okanagan Rockets training camp.

“We want them to realize we’re not here to take their

best player we’re here to help their best players achieve success.”

There is more infor-

mation about the Okanagan Rockets on the web at www.okanaganrockets. com.

Five local products have made the short-list for Team B.C.’s U16 boys hockey squad.

Twenty-eight players remain in consideration for 20 spots on the final roster for the Western Canada Challenge Cup to be played Nov. 1 to 4 in Calgary.

Contending for a spot in goal is Kelowna’s Jordan Reynolds, who played for the Kelowna bantam tier 1 Rockets during the 2011-12 season.

Vying for a place on the defensive corps are Kelowna’s Tanner Browne and Joe Gatenby, and West Kelowna’s Chaz Reddekopp.

All three players suited up last season for the Pursuit of Excellence program in Kelowna.

West Kelowna’s Brad Morrison has made the shortlist among 16 potential forwards.

Morrison played last season with the Okanagan Hockey Academy bantams in Penticton and was a seventh-overall pick of the Everett Silvertips in this spring’s Western Hockey League bantam draft. He registered 93 goals and 159 points in 63 games during the 2011-12

“We are very encouraged with the short list of players who will battle for the 20 spots,” said Mitch Pinsky, director of operations for the U16 team.

“Over the next few months Team B.C. staff along with High Performance district evaluators will closely watch the players in order to find the right mix that will be able to make up the best team as we head to Calgary.

“We are looking for players with a combination of character, tenacity, skill and most importantly, a willingness to play whatever role is asked of them in order for Team B.C. to achieve our ultimate goal of winning the 2012 Western Canada Challenge Cup.” The Western Canada U16 Challenge cup, presented by the WHL, happens every non-Canada Winter Games year.

SPORTS â&#x2013;ź FOOTBALL

Sun need win over Broncos Must-win scenarios donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ordinarily arise in the second week of a football season.

But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exactly how Okanagan Sun head coach Gavin Lake describes his B.C. Football Conference clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meeting with the Broncos this Sunday night in Kamloops.

Coming off a seasonopening 42-14 drubbing at the hands of the Langley Rams Saturday at the Apple Bowl, the Sun can ill afford to fall to 0-2, particularly in light of the unbalanced schedule facing them.

The Sun still has three games to play against the defending champion Vancouver Island Raiders, and two more against the Rams.

The remaining games are against Kamloops, Westshore and Chilli-

wack, the so-called lowerechelon teams, making wins in those match-ups paramount. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple,â&#x20AC;? said Lake. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a must-win for us, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no other way to put it.â&#x20AC;?

The Broncos, who lost 15-12 to the Sun in a pre-season game July 28, won their BCFC season opener last week handily 64-10 over the Chilliwack Huskers. Granted, the Huskers have been the BCFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weakest link the past three seasons with a 3-27 record.

Rookie Cam Bedore will get the start again at quarterback for the Sun and will look for an improved effort over the six turnovers he committed last week against Langley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kamloops is going to come hard, and Cam will be under pressure,â&#x20AC;? Lake

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Cam makes the same progression he did from the first week to the second, then heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to get better as he gets more work.â&#x20AC;?

Sun running back Evan Petrie is expected to sit out Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game after injuring his ankle against the Rams, but should miss just one week of action.

Kick off Sunday at Hillside Stadium is 5 p.m.

The Sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next home action is Saturday, Sept. 3 vs the Westshore Rebels.

Coyotes howl no more The howl of the Okanagan College Coyotes menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hockey team will be heard no more.

The OC squad this week informed the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League that the team is ceasing operations, effective immediately.

A lack of necessary funding ultimately led to the decision. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okanagan College was a valued and competitive member of the BCIHL and will be missed greatly,â&#x20AC;? league president Kim Verigin said in a press release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They put

forward a very competitive team right from their first season. It will be a big change for the league and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very unfortunate these things happen in the hockey business.â&#x20AC;?

The Coyotes entered the BCIHL in 2009 and compiled a record of 4025-9 during regular season play. The team qualified for the playoffs in each of their three seasons, advancing to the league semi-finals twice.

Team GM Kolby Barnstable expressed regret over the cancellation of the OC hockey pro-

gram. â&#x20AC;?Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very disappointing to see the Coyotes program come to an end after three successful seasons,â&#x20AC;? said Barnstable. â&#x20AC;?A great amount of time and effort was invested in the start-up and growth of this team. This was extremely tough news to deliver to our players.

Everyone that was involved had a passion and believed in the value of this program.â&#x20AC;?

With the Coyotes gone, the BCIHL will now operate with six teams in 2012-13.

hen itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the 30s in the valley bottom, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always tempted to head for the hills.

Unless Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in or near water or an air-conditioned room, those sunny, super-hot days sap all my strength and leave me nearly helpless much of the day.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather feel the invigorating air of the mountains.

When our kids were little we built a log house in the Cariboo at an elevation of 4,000 feet, where we frequently had killing frosts in July and August, and it went down to -40 (C or F; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all the same at that temperature) in the winter.

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves We grew beautiful carrots and parsnips, but the beans and tomatoes never survived the summer frosts, so we had to build a little lean-to greenhouse off the house for them.

At that elevation, we always slept well at night.

I just toss and turn in the summer heat when the weatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like this here in Kelownaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but up there, everyone who came

to visit in summer said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never had such a refreshing sleep. It cooled right off at night.

On the other hand, we had bugs. People moving here from the coast think the Okanagan has a lot of different kinds of insects, including mosquitoes, but up there, we had black flies, deer flies and horse flies, all of which take a chunk of flesh, not just a drop of blood.

Our youngest would go out in the garden to play in early summer and the next minute Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d look and see her dripping in blood. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d gather around the hairline and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be busy playing and not notice, until sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have streams of blood

up the creek that ran through the meadow in front of our house on our 40-acre piece of wild land, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d end up with a pond instead of a hay meadow, unless we broke up their dams.

That probably provided plenty of breeding places for the biters, but it also provided perfect habitat for the moose.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d watch them from the house as theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d dip their big, ungainly heads under the water and come up with their snouts streaming water, chewing something green and slimy they had pulled from the bottom of the pond.

In winter, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d come and chew on the bright twigs of the scrub birch and willows right near the house, looming large and dark against the deep white snow. With their long legs and sure footing, five or six feet of snow was nothing to them, while we would be bur-

ied in it.

Spring would bring fields of wildflowers: red and orange Indian paintbrush, deep blue lupines, yellow arnica, white daisies and yarrow andâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;deep in the forestâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the delicate rose-purple fairy slipper orchid, shy yellow violets, the white open cups of the bunchberry and tiny green bells of wintergreen.

In summer weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d collect bowls of tiny red wild strawberries, bursting with flavour, while one kept watch for bearsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; who were not impressed if we beat them to the berry patch.

There was lots to do, but we were always full of energy without the oppressive heat that is a feature of a few weeks every summer in the Okanagan.

Oh well, in a couple more weeks Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find it hard to believe I was complaining about heat as cooler temperatures move in and a new season makes its presence

known.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I missed while living on the coast: four distinct seasons!

So enjoy summer while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here, or head to the alpine for a little relief.

We have lots of options nearby, including hiking or biking along the Trans Canada Trail through Myra Canyon; wildflower tours up at Silver Star; hiking the High Rim Trail or up to Little White; or fishing at some of the many high altitude lakes that surround the Okanagan Valley.

For details about any of those options, pick up a copy of Okanagan Trips and Trails, which I co-wrote with Murphy Shewchuk, prolific outdoors writer and guidebook author, and published by Fitzhenry and Whiteside. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s available in bookstores and outdoor stores. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Passers-by hold hit-andrun suspect for police West Kelowna RCMP were called to the scene of a hit and run at Beach Avenue and Todd Road in Peachland Tuesday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lone male occupant, later determined to be from Alberta and vacationing in the Kelowna area, had apparently been driving his Audi Q7 at a high rate of speed through Peachland while impaired,â&#x20AC;? said Cpl. Barbara Holley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Witnesses reported that he collided with sev-

eral vehicles before trying to flee on foot.â&#x20AC;?

Holley said it was miraculous no one was injured in the incident.

The 35-year-old Calgary man was apprehended by several passerbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and held for police.

The man was taken to the West Kelowna RCMP detachment for breath samples, where he admitted to consuming a large quantity of alcohol prior to the crash.

Initially indicating

he would provide samples, the man later refused when it came time to blow.

He was held in Kelowna RCMP cells until he was sober and was released on a promise to appear for court at a later date.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information who has not spoken to police is asked to call Const. Kent Hall of the West Kelowna RCMP at 250-768-2880.

ENTERTAINMENT Young environmentalist passionate about her cause At 11 years of age, Ta’Kaiya Blaney has more passion in her convictions than most adults.

Blaney, who lives in North Vancouver and is from the Sliammon First Nation, learned from her grandparents and parents that their way of life would not be hers.

“They told me stories of how they used to go down to the beach and practice our traditions and culture by eating the herring off the rocks and gather the cockles and not having to worry about them being toxic, because the land was pristine back then,” Blaney recalled recently. “Every time they would tell me those stories it reminded me that I am never going to be able to do most of the things they talked about because the land is too polluted now.”

The stories, coupled with new stories of the environment being de-

stroyed, sparked a passion in the well-spoken girl to stand up and do something about it. Today, at the Penticton Peach Festival Aboriginal Cultural Village in Gyro Park, she will bring her message of saving Mother Earth.

“There is always going to be people out there saying ‘what does she know, she is 11, she hasn’t got her wisdom teeth pulled,’ or ‘hasn’t got a job’ or ‘gone to college or university.’ I believe that it doesn’t matter if you are tall or small, 90 or six, it is just that you have a message and that message is what you feel,” said Blaney, whose first name translates into Special Water.

“The Earth is what I feel for. I am passionate for that. What I tell people is that if they have a gift they should share it, so if they are worried about the environment or they are worried about war then they should just not worry about people who are criticizing them. Stand up for what you believe in.”

‘‘

…IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU ARE TALL OR SMALL, 90 OR SIX, IT IS JUST THAT YOU HAVE A MESSAGE AND THAT MESSAGE IS WHAT YOU FEEL… Ta’Kaiya Blaney

ZACH EMBREE/CONTRIBUTOR

TA’KAIYA BLANEY, from the Sliammon First Nation, performs at the Aboriginal Cultural Village Aug. 10 during Penticton’s Peach Festival.

In 2010 she co-wrote and recorded five songs

with Aileen De La Cruz, including Shallow Waters.

The message in the song is relevant today more than ever as she sings about how an oil spill on the northwest coast could tragically end the traditional way of life for many coastal First Nations and devastate all marine and coastal life and habitat.

Since the video was released for Shallow Waters in February of 2011, it has been viewed over 100,000 times on YouTube.

“I really didn’t think I would have this much impact. I definitely wanted to get my message out there…it’s reached way

farther and I am happy because I want to spread the message of how my ancestors land is being constantly destroyed, how my culture is in danger and how Mother Earth is in danger.”

Blaney was chosen as one of 20 We Canada Champions, an organization putting pressure on Canada to show leadership, to attend the UN Earth Summit held in Rio de Janeiro this past June.

Blaney also travelled to Indonesia with her mother and other We Canada Champions, where she met like-minded children and gave three workshops for 10- to 14-yearolds and sang at the closing ceremonies.

Blaney spoke and sang at several rallies this past year including the KinderMorgan Plant in Burnaby where tar sands pipeline expansion will mean more oil tankers in Burrard Inlet and more recently at the Enbridge environmental hearing in Comox.

While she hasn’t quite

narrowed down what she wants to do when she becomes an adult—she has a long list that includes singing, speaking out on the environment and playing the violin—she does know it will involve her passion for the environment. That was confirmed after meeting one of her biggest environmental influences, David Suzuki.

“It is like reading about a superhero in a comic for so long then finally getting to meet the hero,” she said. “It was just an amazing experience.”

Blaney will be performing at the opening ceremonies of the Aboriginal Cultural Village at Penticton’s Gyro Park today, Aug. 10, at noon followed by a traditional pow wow until 7 p.m.

She performs again today, at Okanagan Lake Park at 3:20 p.m.

Events start at noon Saturday with a traditional pow wow followed by performances starting at 7 p.m. at the bandshell.

Gossamer one of the better indies; Sparkle a solid soundtrack

PASSION PIT: GOSSAMER (COLUMBIA) This is the second album from Bostonbased singer/songwriter Michael Angelakos who records mostly as a oneman-band under the name Passion Pit. His debut album three years ago, titled Manners, earned solid notices and some club play for its clever indie synth pop and this sophomore album promises to perform even better.

Some have compared Passion Pit favourably to the sunny pop of Fun. (sic) and The Lightening

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell Seeds. However, my geezerly ears take me back further to 10cc/Godley & Creme (their mid’80s electro pop hits Cry and I’m Not In Love) on the delightful ear worm Mirrored Sea with its highly FX’d vocals.

Angelakos hires some outside help with Erato for the light orchest-

ral pop of On My Way that has earmarks of Brian Wilson, while there is some flowery psyche-pop found in the mix of Love Is Greed that again recalls 10cc and late ’60s meditation era Beach Boys.

Gossamer is a heady listen but as a one-manband, sometimes Angelakos could use some outside advice or an editor as some of these songs about relationships get a bit too wordy even if they do manage to hold your interest.

One of the better indie synth-pop albums released in a while.

SPARKLE: SOUNDTRACK (RCA) This film Sparkle hits the big screen next week and will probably make a bit of a stir as it was the very last project Whitney Houston was involved in before her untimely passing.

The movie is a remake of the 1976 film of the same title that featured Aretha Franklin and this all-black cast follows mostly the same story line about a female trio loosely based on The Supremes and their rise to mega success.

Houston plays the mother to lead actress Jordin Sparks and it is her song, an R&B gospel flavoured His Eye Is On The Sparrow, that is the feature track and most likely main selling point.

However, this soundtrack also re-records seve-

ral songs as written by the great Curtis Mayfield for the original soundtrack that includes a couple of Aretha’s remade hits.

These include Something He Can Feel that is destined to chart again with its warm R&B grooves and honeyed doo wop background vocals, as well as the hit Jump with its spunky, funky soul.

The lead off song is a cool retro chittlin’ circuit styled song, I’m A Man, sung in high falsetto be Ceelo Green (who also stars in the movie) that might have you rethinking Green’s gender given his incredibly high range.

There is a hint of hip hop in the Motown flavoured Yes I Do by Carmen Ejogo, while the closing three songs are new compositions by R. Kelly that do not match up as well as the vintage stock

RAY CHEN: TCHAIKOVSKY, MENDELSSOHN VIOLIN CONCERTOS (SONY) Ray Chen is a big new talent on the classical music scene and his stature just keeps growing with each new release.

The young Australianraised virtuoso only has three albums to his credit this early in his career.

Chen won two highly prestigious awards in the last year with both the Menuhin and Queen Elisabeth Violin Competitions and he did this with his performances of Pete Tchaikovsky’s Concerto For Violin And Orchestra In D Major and Felix Mendelssohn’s Concerto

For Violin And Orchestra In E Minor—both of which make up this new album.

Chen plays with the greatly appreciated Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra led by Daniel Harding. These recordings had The Times raving: “Chen’s artistry blazes,” while Die Zeit chimed in with: “Polished style…melting delicacy…superb.”

These two extended compositions are extremely well known Romantic masterpieces and mark Tchaikovsky’s only venture into a violin concerto.

This is also Chen’s first effort with an orchestral recording.

For classical neophytes there are scads of liner notes and essays regarding the music in the inner booklet.

▼ MP’S REPORT

Feds propose help for parents

A

few announcements made this month by the Government of Canada may be of interest to you and your family.

As of Aug. 3, new allergen labelling regulations for most foods sold in Canada took effect.

The regulations, announced Feb. 14, 2011

by Leona Aglukkaq, the federal health minister, will help Canadians who suffer from food allergies make more informed choices about the foods they buy.

Canadians who live with allergies and celiac disease will no doubt find the new labelling requirements make it much easier to identify foods they can safely eat.

Under the new regulations, clearer ingredient labels will help consumers better avoid foods that contain the ingredient to which they are allergic or sensitive.

As well, the department has also refined its definition of gluten-free, which will increase food choices available to Canadians dealing with celiac disease.

The strengthened regulations will also provide manufacturers with clear requirements so that allergens, gluten sources, and sulphites are labeled in a consistent manner.

For more information on what to look for with the new allergen labels and for more information

Ron Cannan on food allergies, food intolerances, and celiac disease, please visit the Health Canada website at www.hc-sc.gc.ca and follow the Food and Nutrition link.

Another announcement you may find of interest relates to Employment Insurance.

The federal government proposed last week, a new EI special benefit for parents who take time off work to care for their critically ill or injured children.

This new benefit would ease the financial pressure on parents who take time off work to care for their critically ill or injured children when they need it the most.

Parents who must take time off work to care for a child who has a lifethreatening illness or injury would be able to apply for up to 35 weeks of this new EI special benefit.

The special benefit is part of the government’s continued action to help parents balance work and

family responsibilities.

Other EI measures include expanding eligibility for compassionate care benefits; allowing selfemployed workers to opt into the EI program to receive maternity, parental, sickness and compassionate care benefits, as well as this new special benefit; and improving access to EI parental benefits for military and foster families.

The new EI special benefit for parents of critically ill children is expected to be available in June 2013 and will help an estimated 6,000 families per year.

More information on Employment Insurance can be found at www. hrsdc.gc.ca by clicking on the Jobs and Training link and proceeding to the section on Employment Insurance.

I hope all of you are having a safe and enjoyable summer.

I will continue to work out of my constituency office until I return to Ottawa in September.

Should you wish to meet or to share questions or concerns about any of the federal government’s programs and services, please do not hesitate to contact me.

▼ PESTS

Help protect B.C. apple industry The Ministry of Agriculture is asking for the public’s co-operation to help protect the B.C. apple industry from apple pests and minimize the use of pesticides.

Apple maggot (rhagoletis pomonella), a serious apple pest, is established in the Fraser Valley, Greater Vancouver and Vancouver Island.

The Okanagan and Similkameen valleys of B.C. remain the only commercial apple-producing regions in North America free of this serious pest.

The co-operation of all residents will help prevent the spread of apple maggot from the Lower Mainland to B.C.’s commercial fruit growing areas, says the ministry.

So, what can you do to

help prevent the spread of apple maggot?

• Do not take any fruit (apples, crabapples, hawthorn, pears, plums) or any fruit bins or other containers used to hold apples, out of the Lower Mainland.

• Do not take plants with garden soil that were grown near fruit trees (apples, crabapples, hawthorn, pears, plums) out of the Lower Mainland.

• If you receive fruit from the Lower Mainland that appears to be infested, contact the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) or a Ministry of Agriculture office.

• Do not compost any apples that appear to be infested with apple maggot.

Place the fruit in a sealed plastic bag and bury it at

least 30 cm deep, or take it to the local landfill for burial.

If you are planning to move any host fruit or host trees with soil, or host nursery stock, out of the Lower Mainland, you are asked to contact the CFIA at 604 557-4500.

Another pest, the apple clearwing moth, (Synanthedon myopaeformis), has been found in coastal B.C., Cawston, Keremeos, Oliver, North Osoyoos, Kelowna and Belgo.

The larvae burrow inside the bark and may not be visible.

To prevent this pest from spreading in the Okanagan and Creston Valleys, do not move fruit trees, soil and rootstocks from infested areas.

If you love it, we’ll help you protect it.

SEATTLE—Pike Place Market. The Space Needle. Pioneer Square.

Check, check and check.

If you’ve hit these obvious Seattle destinations, you’re not a newbie. But maybe you’re not an insider either.

So, this Seattle checklist is for you. It skirts the main attractions and several other popular stops to make more room for Ballard, Capitol Hill, Fremont and the University District—four asset-rich Seattle neighborhoods my family and I explored on a visit last summer.

Right now these neighborhoods are increasingly busy. Seattleites take their summers seriously.

Be warned, though: On bad days, Seattle freeway congestion can rival that of Los Angeles.

Our list starts in Ballard, northwest of Seattle.

Golden Gardens Park includes a stretch of beach with classic views of Puget Sound and mountains, a little loop trail, a fishing pier and at its northern end, an off-leash dog zone. While we were strolling on the sand, Guila Muir, a devoted, 50-something open-water swimmer, came splashing ashore in her blue goggles and orange bathing cap.

The water, she said, was about 55 degrees.

Then she dashed off to warm up.

Ray’s Boathouse & Cafe, which dates to 1973, offers fresh seafood and a wide window onto the sound and the Olympic Mountains. Its location is advertised by a towering red neon sign.

Describing one dish, our waitress cited where the fish was caught and the names of the fisherman and his wife. In the fancier Boathouse dining room downstairs (dinner only), main dishes run $21-$55.

In the more casual Cafe above (lunch and dinner), entrees run $11.95 (for a half-order of fish and chips) to $21.50.

6049 Seaview Ave. N.W.; 206-789-3770, www.rays.com Ballard Locks. OK, this is no secret, but it’s worth a visit, and it’s free.

This concrete channel is how boats get from the sound (saltwater at sea level) to the Lake Washington Ship Canal, Lake Washington and Lake Union (fresh water, 20 to 22 feet above sea level), and it’s always interesting to join the old salts and fresh tourists watching big and little vessels as the water levels change.

On a busy day, a worker told me, 500 vessels pass through. Next to the channel is a fish ladder for salmon; you can also watch through an underwater viewing window, and there’s a botanical garden handy—a nice mix for kids. By the way, officially, these are the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, but nobody calls them that.

attle.gov/tour/locks.htm South and east of Ballard lies Fremont, known for its bohemians and unpredictable statuary. This includes Vladimir Lenin at Evanston Avenue North and North 36th Street; the aluminum commuters “Waiting for the Interurban” at North 34th Street and Fremont Avenue North; spiritual leader Sri Chinmoy on the Burke-Gilman Trail under the Aurora Bridge; and a concrete troll, also under the Aurora Bridge, at North 36th Street at Troll Avenue North. The troll was a disappointment for me—a brilliant idea undercut by crude craftsmanship—but the rest of the family loved it.

The real heart of Fremont is its independent spirit, including businesses such as the five that follow: If Willy Wonka were a Whole Foods supplier, Theo Chocolate would be his factory. Theo, opened in 2006, bills itself as the first organic, fair-trade, kosher, bean-to-bar chocolate factory in the U.S. For $6 a person, you get an hour-long factory tour, samples included, personal fragrances forbidden.

Fair warning: You will be asked to don a hairnet. In fact, you get a free hairnet with the tour. Reservations are required, except for the daily 2:30 p.m. walk-in tour. Even with as many as 10 tours offered daily, summer weekend tours are sometimes reserved weeks ahead.

MOTORING ▼ ROAD TEST

CX-9 delivers more room, zoom-zoom CONTRIBUTOR

Despite the absurd prices at the pumps, large people movers are still moving well.

Not that today’s families are truly large. In fact, quite the opposite as the size of our broods has been steadily shrinking since the 1970s.

It’s more a matter of our frazzled lifestyles requiring—and acquiring— far too much crap.

A few short decades ago, most families got by with sedans and station wagons.

Today, having one or two kids in hockey apparently justifies buying an SUV the size of a transport truck.

And don’t get me started on just how much gear (boxes, bags, stroller, booster, high chair, potty,

play pen, toys, etc.) now accompanies a single infant.

Until recently, most of these vehicles were trucky and bland. Automakers today are more creative, particularly with crossovers, which often blur the lines between SUV, minivan and wagon. And the Mazda CX-9—my tester for the week—is among the most stylish of these.

The CX-9 is most striking from the side, where its high and rising beltline is topped by a band of windows that narrows towards the rear.

Wide shoulders and a tapered greenhouse, accented by a roof-mounted spoiler give it a more athletic look than you’d expect from a family hauler.

Ditto for the large wheel openings over big 20-inch alloys, and the trapezoidal dual exhausts.

THE MAZDA CX-9 seven-passenger crossover is anything but trucky. It’s profile is long and somewhat low, with a tapered greenhouse and broad shoulders. Cat’s eye projector headlamps flanking the chrome surround upper grille add a sophisticated look.

From the front, this crossover’s projector headlamps sweep back like cat’s eyes, either side

of the chrome-surround upper grille. And although I don’t like Mazda’s gaping signature lower

grille (the old one is more tidy), at least it’s bisected by a horizontal chrome piece.

But don’t let the CX9’s low, swoopy profile fool you, as there’s still plenty of space for both

passengers and cargo. Be-

Transport Canada rates this powertrain at a reasonable 12.7/8.4 litres/100 km (city/hwy) as a front driver and 12.8/9.0 litres/100 km (city/hwy) with AWD. I wouldn’t expect to see these numbers, unless you’re extremely light on the pedal. My own result was a thirstier 13 litres/100 km combined.

The independent front and rear suspensions (with stabilizer bars) are forgiving enough to soak up potholes and road imperfections, yet tight enough to keep this big vehicle from excessive lean in hard cornering.

The CX-9’s steering, with rpm-sensing variable power assist, has more road feel than typical in this kind of vehicle.

And the engine—a DOHC 24-valve 3.7-litre V6 (273 hp, 270 lb/ft of torque), mated to a sixspeed automatic —packs enough punch to launch it smoothly and quickly,

hind the third row—yes, this is a seven-passenger vehicle—you’ll find 475 litres of space. That’s more than in many fullsize sedans, and there’s even a handy underfloor tray.

Drop the third row, and you’re left with 1,368 litres. This is the configuration I used all week— much of it with two kids bickering in the middle row, and the cargo hold jammed floor-to-ceiling with camping gear.

Drop both the second and third rows, and you have 2,851 litres. That doesn’t measure up to minivan standards, and is less than offered by the bulkier Chevy Traverse, but it tops competitors like Honda Pilot, Hyundai Veracruz and Toyota Highlander.

Cargo volume is important, but convenience and the accessibility are as critical.

For starters, all seats fold flat in the CX-9, and do so quickly and easily.

Putting everything back in place is a minor effort as well. Simple straps and levers do a fine job, and there’s really no need for a power third row.

Speaking of the 50/50 third row, seating back here is fine for those of us under six feet tall, at least on short trips. And with some compromise from second-row occupants— who have oodles of seat travel fore and aft—there’s ample knee room.

Getting into the third row is aided by the CX9’s tilt-and-slide mechanism, which is a one-handed operation that moves the 60/40 second row forward nearly nine inches.

More challenging, however, is the high stepin. It’s easy enough for kids and nimble adults, but I wouldn’t want my elderly father making the attempt.

Passengers in the second row get their own HVAC controls, and are treated to loads of knee and head room. Seating is comfortable, and in the GT is embellished with contrasting leather inserts.

The middle position drops down for an armrest and pair of cupholders— and provides some muchneeded separation between kids.

The CX-9 is among the pricier offerings in this segment (with a starting MSRP of $36,395), and as such I’d expect a healthy list of standard content.

Here, Mazda does not disappoint.

The base front-drive GS gets three-zone climate control, heated front seats (eight-way power adjust for driver), sixspeaker AM/FM/CD audio system, Bluetooth, tilt/ telescopic steering with audio and cruise controls, rain-sensing wipers, power heated mirrors, 18inch alloys and more.

You can add $2,000 for active torque split allwheel drive and $2,395 for a luxury package that includes power moonroof, leather upholstery, four-way power adjust for the front passenger and power lumbar support for the driver.

My tester was in GT trim (MSRP $45,745), which included all the above GS and luxury package features plus blind spot monitoring, rearview camera, smart key system, driver’s seat memory, upgraded 10-speaker Bose surround sound audio system, 20inch Indeed, the CX-9 can reach 50-grand, not including freight and taxes, which puts it into contention with some premium haulers like Infiniti JX and Acura MDX. What makes it competitive isn’t so much the interior appointments, although the tightly-fitted woodgrain trim, chrome accents and leather upholstery are nicely done.

THE FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY pickup not only works hard, but makes a bold statement with its big-rig chrome grille. Depending on configuration, Super Duty trucks can tow up to 24,500 lbs (fifth-wheel towing, 17,500 conventional towing and can handle a 7,710 lb payload. As shown, this F-250 can haul 14,000 pounds and carry 3,190.

▼ ROAD TEST

Ford’s heavy duties still get job done Neil Moore CONTRIBUTOR

With its slab sides, massive wheel arches and big-rig chrome grille, the Ford F-250 Super Duty pickup is about as subtle as a flying mallet.

It isn’t some familyoriented, multi-function utility vehicle, masquerading as a work truck.

It’s the real deal, for those who genuinely need to haul very heavy loads.

And by heavy, I mean up to 24,500 lb in fifthwheel towing, 17,500 lb conventional towing and 7,710 lb payload, which Ford claims to be best in segment.

Of course, that all depends on how the Super Duty is configured, and listing the nearly endless possibilities is more than I’d be willing to write and you’d care to read. For example, to get the 24,500or 17,500-pound tow ratings, you’d need an F-450 4x4 crew cab with 6.7-litre diesel, dual rear wheel (DRW) and 4.30 rear axle ratio.

You’d need an entirely different truck for the max payload—a 4x2 F-350 regular cab, DRW. Suffice to say that many variables come into play, and there’s a GCWR, GVWR, payload and towing capacity for each combination.

My tester for the week was an F-250 4x4 Crew Cab (6.75-foot cargo bed) with the available 6.7-litre Power Stroke turbo diesel.

Even the name of

this engine suggests copious amounts of testosterone, backed up by its 400 hp and stump-pulling 800 lb/ft of torque from a very low 1,600 rpm.

Not only is that up hugely from the previous generation 6.4-litre engine (350 hp, 650 lb/ft), but also from last year’s 6.7-litre (390 hp, 735 lb/ ft). A free hardware upgrade has been offered to 2011 buyers to match current levels.

This optional diesel and the standard-equipped 6.2-litre V8 gas engine (385 hp, 405 lb/ft), are both mated to an all-new, heavy-duty TorqShift sixspeed automatic.

Although my press vehicle was not the alpha truck in Ford’s lineup, it was still capable of 14,000 lbs conventional towing and 3,190 lbs of payload.

My first encounter with the new-generation Super Duty was in spring 2010, when the 2011 models debuted at an event near Phoenix, Az. At the time, Ford claimed the F-450 could tow a 24,400 lb trailer up a six per cent grade at 47 mph (76 km/h), which is more than 50 per cent faster than the outgoing product. It sounded a bit farfetched, but I rode shotgun while a Ford representative did just that.

Those of us not licensed to haul such heavy loads were challenged to tow a 10,000-lb trailer up the same mountain— a climb of roughly 2,000 feet. What surprised me at the time was how effortlessly the F-350 launched See Ford B5

THE F-250â&#x20AC;&#x2122;S 6.75-foot cargo bed (8-foot optional) offers nearly 51 inches between wheel housings. With its optional spray-in bedliner, bed extender and tailgate step with flip-up grab bar, piling in and securing your load is made easier.

Storage space inside Ford from B5 with its battleship proportions, a real handful at the mall.

Thankfully, among the many amenities and tech goodies that come with Lariat trim (leather seatingâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;heated and cooled in front, dual-zone climate control, Ford SYNC connectivity system, PowerScope mirrors, etc.), Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PR dept thought wisely to add the $400 rearview camera.

The design of the FSeries, with its big windows, relatively low beltline and cutout adjacent to the massive side mirrors, is conducive to a decent all-around view. The camera, which displays on the nav systemâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 6.5-inch touchscreen, provides added assurance that there are no kids behind the big tailgate. Its lens is also well positioned for lining up a trailer hitch.

Incidentally, the power/heated side PowerScope trailer/tow mirrors (with integrated turn signals and adjustable blindspot mirrors) can telescope outwards to help see past wide loads. Just remember to retract when not needed, as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to clip them on entering a drive-through, or take out a cyclist.

Aside from viewing whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s around you, the Super Duty makes it easy to monitor whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on under the hood.

The instrument panel includes four small analog gauges along the top (turbo boost, fuel level and two temperature gauges), and 4.2-inch LCD â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Productivityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; screen, flanked by a large tach and speedo.

This display features

a menu system that allows you to monitor fuel economy, towing performance, limit the truckâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top speed and more.

Interior storage includes a massive cargo bin between the front seats, with a removable organizer. Within, you can stow a laptop, hang files, or charge your gadgets from the 12-volt powerpoint.

In the crew cab, its 60/40 rear bench flips up for more storage under the seats. It is also wide enough for three adults, and offers loads of head and knee room.

I expected a truck this big to be hard on gas, but Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turbo diesel is surprisingly thrifty. These professional-grade pickups are unrated, but my average fuel economy for the week (in 4x2 mode) was only 13.9 litres/100 km in mostly city driving.

Indeed, the F-250 is no pig on gas, and although itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no fun in heavy downtown traffic, it is just fine on the highway.

With all that capability, a spacious and comfortable passenger cab-

in, not to mention loads of available tech, I can see why Ford has captured nearly 40 percent of heavy-duty truck sales.

And why it was hard giving back the keys at the end of the week.

MOTORING ▼ BMW

Pavement pounding power CONTRIBUTOR

As discreet as it is fast—that’s the BMW M5.

M Series cars from BMW have always been special.

Yes, they have all had leading edge, for the time, power and handling while all looking not unlike the family BMW sedan Uncle Franz drives to work.

Yes, there have been wild looking and behaving specials from aftermarket hop-up providers like Alpina and Schnitzer but they looked like something for those whose vanity was greater than their self-confidence.

No, the real mark of a M Series is the great pains BMW’s in-house M engineers and designers take to not let the guy in the next car know what they’re up against until the moment of truth.

There’s not much to tell the 2012 M5 from a normal 5 Series other than the M5-badged air outlet/turn signal repeaters above each front wheel, the big M5 alloy wheels with meaty tires and the four exhaust pipes with small centre diffuser at the rear.

The 2012 version has been wisely toned down from the V10 model it replaces which is very much in the spirit of the car.

The last M5 I drove was way back in 1992 with a 3.6-litre inline sixcylinder engine producing 307 hp and 266 lb/ft of torque.

Compared to the two, first generation 1.8-litre four-banger 3 Series I have owned (not to mention the 2.5-litre V6 Mazda minivan I was driving at the time) it was a rocket.

Fast forward two decades to the M5 tested here with its mighty TwinPower turbo V8 that pumps out 560 hp, almost double the 1992 not to mention the 500 lb/ft of torque.

There aren’t too many cars on the road, and I mean supercars, that can match that kind of power.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S comes in at 530 hp.

About the only thing that matches M5 is the Audi R8 GT with a 5.2-litre V10 producing 560 hp.

But while the 911 and R8 seat two, you can get four in the M5 for a starting price of $101,500.

The 911 Turbo S starts at $183,400 while the Audi R8 GT opens at $173,000

and that’s all before options.

About the closest you can come to the M5 is the Mercedes-Benz AMG 63 with 518 hp and starting at $99,500 before a host of AMG options. The Audi S7 Sportback I recently drove has 420 hp, but pricing has not been announced at this writing.

On the M5 there aren’t too many extras to choose from because most of what you need is already included in the list price.

So for the record, the 2012 M5 tested here comes with the $4,500 full Merino leather interior and the $9,500 Executive Package for an as tested price of $115,500 not counting the $1,995 shipping fee.

The Executive Package includes ventilated seats, side sunshades, electric rear sunshade, blind spot warning, lane departure warning, surround view camera, heads-up display, smartphone integration and BMW Apps and several creature comforts.

So now that we have that out of the way, it’s time to come to that ageold question—what’ll she do?

The answer is more than you would expect, and in many ways, able to take advantage of.

You can’t go let loose because there are far too many driver/safety aids in place to let you do anything foolish. There are ways to defeat most of them, but not for the average driver.

I’m not trying to scare anyone off the M5, far from it, but any serious buyer should investigate BMW driving academies where, with the proper instruction, a whole new world of performance will open.

On the left spoke of the steering wheel are two M Drive buttons. M1 is for Sport driving and M2 is biased more towards Comfort.

M Drive allows for driver to adjust six parameters including engine response, shift changes from the seven-speed dual clutch transmission, pitch and yaw settings and active damping.

And looking just at the transmission, there are three shift patterns accessed by a rocker switch on the centre console. It allows for D1 automatically at startup for the most efficient operation. Go to D2 and it changes shifting for cruising and com-

AT FIRST GLANCE,

fort. Hit D3 and it delays the shift until the engine is in a higher rev range.

The Active M Differential limited slip is computer connected to the stability control system and

the 2012 BMW M5 looks like an everyday 5 Series but lurking under the hood is a 560 hp twin turbo V8 that sees the M5 go from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds.

THE

they share data to calculate the locking forces needed for the best traction in microseconds allowing, in extreme circumstances, for 100 per cent torque being sent to either wheel.

The electro-hydraulic dampers also have three settings—Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus with the latter needing more steering effort for higher speeds but Sport, which provides “feel” across the steering spectrum is all most people will need.

With all those buttons, it would be simple to punch a bunch and drive off to see what happens but I just set everything to Sport which is probably what most owners would do until they had time to sample all the settings.

Even though this is a turbo, throttle response is quick and potent. Like all modern turbos, engine noise is (sadly) lacking but the sense of picking up speed is immediate.

As for performance, how about 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and 0-200 km/h in 13 seconds?

There is so much torque that you can just leave it in Drive for most situations. But switch over to the manual DSG operation in M1 and this car just sizzles but without histrionics.

While I never had the

chance to try all the drive modes, one button on the centre console was perhaps the most fun.

To the right of the shifter is a switch with a movie camera icon and it controls the surround video cameras. In addition to the normal backup unit there are tiny video cameras embedded in each leading edge of the front wheel well which gives a 180 degree view to the front.

I wish I had more space to talk about the superb fit and finish, particularly the wonderful Merino leather seats that wouldn’t be out of place in a members-only club.

But if you love performance that is way over anything you’re used to, then be discreet and drive the M5.

SHOWCASE

The lure of living south of the border Buying property in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for fun, profit, or maybe, retirement.

T

his week, contributor Ceinwen Morgan talks to Rhonda Rohatynchuk, a former Kelowna realtor who now lives in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and sells real estate in that city.

But while she heps Kelonwa residents looking for property inPuerto Vallarta, she also sends Mexican clients, looking to buy in Kelowna, to her real estate contatacts here.

Over the years, she has sold many resort-style condominiums in Kelowna as rental investments, to people who come for the summer to enjoy this areas weather and amenities, and to those who call Kelowna home for six months and travel elsewhere.

Her Kelowna realtor contactsalso send her buyers who are interested in owning property in the warm tropical climes of Puerto Vallarta.

Rohatynchuk is also involved with Puerto Vallarta Villas, a rental and property management company for those who want to rent a condominium while on vacation.

In her spare time, she takes reservations for cruise ship vacations, working for Holland Travel.

Question: How long have you been selling real estate?

Answer: I was a licensed realtor in Kelowna, starting with Royal Lepage in 2002 and then spending eight years with

Macdonald Realty Kel owna.

Q. How long have you been in Mexico as an agent?

A. I started with Ron Morgan Properties, Puerto Vallarta, in September 2011 Q. How did you become licensed to sell in Mexico?

A. The broker sponsors you and you become an associate of AMPI (the Mexican real estate association). You pay annual fees, are required to take professional courses and attend the monthly meetings. If you do not follow the rules as set out, you are no longer welcome and your membership will not be renewed.

Q. It has been rumour ed that foreigners cannot own real property in Mexico, is this true?

A. No. Foreigners can buy property in Mexico and it is perfectly legal. If the property is in the “restricted zone,” which is 100 kilometres along the border and 50 kilometres along the coast, then the owner establishes a “fideicomiso,” which is a trust set up with a bank. The fideicomiso can be established for a maximum of 50 years and can be automatically renewed for another 50-year period. The owner has the right to transfer the title to any other party, including a member of his or her family. That is no different than it is in Canada.

Q. Is there a cost to a

bank trust?

A. Yes. It ranges from $400 to $500 for setting up the trust and then about the same annually to cover the services of the trustee.

Q. What about financing. Can a Canadian buyer get a mortgage in Mexico.

A. Yes. There are mortgage brokers who deal with banks who will provide mortgages to Canadians and Americans. I have their contact information.

‘‘

I FEEL VERY SAFE WALKING AROUND, AND LIVING IN, PUERTO VALLARTA, AS DO MANY RETURNING TOURISTS. Rhonda Rohatynchuk

Q. Is the process similar to buying property here in British Columbia and across Canada?

A. It is different in many ways, but similar in some. Buying property in Mexico is much more complicated and without the right help and a qualified agent, one could lose the total investment. The process of closing on a property can take three to six months and sometimes longer. Deposits and funds to complete

are put into an escrow account with a title company, where as in Canada funds are usually paid to a lawyer in trust, who distributes the money. One also has to be cautious when buying pre-construction real estate, as there could be some danger. It is different than in the Okanagan. Buyers do need the assistance of an agent who can keep them out of trouble and assure all the right clauses are in the contract to purchase.

Q. For buyers who are purchasing a property as a second residence or as a rental investment, are their difficulties living so far away?

A. That’s a good question. Most owners hire a property manager to provide maid service, monitor the property, pay all the utility bills and keep the property in good condition all year round. It is not expensive and it can be the best investment an owner can make.

Q. Are there many owners from Canada in Puerto Vallarta?

A. There many foreigners who live year ‘round and many retirees who call Puerto Vallarta home. There are also snow birds who are here just for the winter months, from all over the world. I have friends who are permanent residences from France, Switzerland, England, the U.S. and Canada. There are quite a few people from the Okanagan who own property

CONTRIBUTED

RHONDA ROHATYNCHUK is a former Kelowna realtor, who now lives, and works, in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. along the Banderas Bay. I have been told there are around 40,000 Americans alone who live in the Puerto Vallarta area .

Q. I understand that tourists love to visit Puerto Vallarta.

A. Absolutely. More than 1.5 million tourists visited Puerto Vallarta in 2010 and 3.5 million in last year. Many of the buyers were once tourists and have visited once, twice or several times.

They fall in love with Puerto Vallarta and buy a condo or a home for fu-

ture retirement, to move in right away or to simply vacation there. Many investors see the positive side of purchasing for rental investment, and are very pleased with their decision.

Q. Finally, with all the media attention about the safety in Mexico, how safe is it in Puerto Vallarta?

A. It’s very safe. The media attention that Mexico has been getting has to do with the drug cartel violence, which is predominantly near the U.S.-

Mexican border. If you are not involved with the drug cartel, you are safe.

I feel very safe walking around, and living in, Puerto Vallarta, as do many returning tourists.

I invite everyone to come visit me, discuss property investment or simply come in and say hi.

Come and see why Puerto Vallarta is truly paradise and meet the friendliest people.
