here are hundreds of wineries in Canada, but not many can boast 80 years in business—most of that in the same downtown premises—like Calona Vineyards can.

Despite today’s name, “There are no fancy vineyards to look at. We’re here to produce wine,” says master winemaker Howard Soon, as he relaxes in the company board room surrounded by solid wood walls that likely date from the company’s earliest days.

If those walls could talk, what tales they could tell. They’ve probably seen plenty of tears, adds Soon, since most of the hiring and firing occurred there over the years.

CLOSE-UP

Calona Vineyard wines evolved as market trends changed from A1 Although it’s grown from a company born out of necessity during The Depression into a major player in this country’s burgeoning wine industry, Calona’s facility is a rabbit warren of tackedon additions, representing every era from the past eight decades.

That includes a new, state-of-the-art $150,000 membrane press, and a floor-to-ceiling, 16,000litre, 50-year-old oak stave wine barrel that forms part of the wall in the tasting room.

Created in 1932 as Domestic Wines and Byproducts—when apple growers were demanding “a cent a pound or on the ground,” to try and make their costs of growing fruit—it began as a fruit winery, rather than grape.

Friends and Kelowna pioneers, grocery store owner Pasquale (Cap) Capozzi and hardware store owner W.A.C. Bennett, in their spare time went around the interior selling one dollar shares in order to put together an enterprise to help tree fruit growers by creating a market for their fruit.

That way, growers and employees would have money to spend on groceries and hardware.

Bennett was a teetotaler so his involvement was strictly business and he gave up his shares 10 years later when he was elected to the provincial legislature.

Capozzi and his sons

Tom, Herb and Joe continued on, turning it into a multi-million dollar business. They sold it in 1971, but Cap, Tom and Joe remained involved.

Calona is a fixture in this community, including the name—a phonetic spelling of Kelowna submitted by a Chilliwack woman (her prize was $5 and a case of wine) from a winery naming contest in 1934—and the fact that everyone in town knows someone who does or has worked there over the years.

Although today it produces two labels of award-winning, highend, VQA wines—Calona Vineyards Artist Series and Sandhill—its total production today is 20 million litres of wine a year, with an increasing, but still only about 10 per cent volume at the upper end of the quality scale.

When Calona started up in 1932, production was about 18,000 litres of apple wine.

Buts since the beginning, it’s nearly always been a high-volume facility, particularly in the 1960s and ‘70s, when Sommet Rouge and Blanc and Schloss Laderheim topped the charts among discerning wine drinkers.

Jug wines were a specialty of the winery in that era. Former president and CEO Ian Tostenson remembers how the jug wines “went screaming out the door.”

Growing up in Kelowna, Tostenson says his

“In my heart, I still had Cap and Tom on my shoulder, so I felt I had to do a good job,” he recalls.

It was during his tenure that the wine world switched to a free trade environment. As Calona’s reputation was as a jug wine producer, a revolution occurred at the winery.

Calona moved to become an aggressive producer of VQA wines as consumers shifted and became more savvy, and there was pressure on the winery to stay ahead of those preferences.

It was one of the largest industrial wineries in in North America, producing three million cases of wine a year.

It was about that time that the winery took on what Tostenson calls “that affable winemaker, Howard Soon,” who wanted to push the boundaries, to make better-quality wine.

“We committed to work harder to get people to taste our new wines; to develop wines that consumers wanted—and it worked,” Tostenson recalls.

Next, they developed Sandhill Wines. “That was a different approach to winemaking and it has become a stunning success,” he notes proudly.

father Alex (in the photograph) was one of the winery’s original employees.

Through it all, the Capozzi’s pioneer spirit was kept alive at the winery, with a lot of the same experienced employees still there today.

In 2005, after a stint with such diverse companies as Standard Brands, the winery was purchased by Andrew Peller, the family that opened Andres Wines in 1961 in B.C., but today predominantly does business in Ontario.

Although he’s no longer with Calona, Tostenson approved of the purchase: “In my heart, that’s a good fit; the right choice, because they have the same attitude.”

Soon remained with the company through a succession of owners, from 1980 until today,

when he has been put in charge of winemaking, with a number of winemakers under his charge.

Tostenson feels that’s an important decision.

“He’s very important to Calona,” he says of Soon. “He’s critical to quality.”

EARLY YEARS Mario Ciancone followed his father Alex into Calona Wines when he was 15 years of age, working on the line and crushing grapes, beginning in 1957. His father was one of the original employees, and ended up as plant supervisor before his retirement.

His mother even babysat the Capozzi boys in the early days, he recalls.

Italian names were familiar at Calona Wines in those early years, including Marcanio and Ghezzi.

When Ciancone began work there, much of the winemaking process was done by hand, including making cardboard boxes, filling bottles, capping and labeling them. A large volume of the resulting wine went to the Catholic Church, as sacramental wine.

Grapes were brought in and dumped by hand into a rustic press that consisted of a big screw which was screwed down to force juice out of the fruit and to the sides, where it went into hoses and into the fermenting vats. The resulting pulp

Property owners ‘stand their ground’ over intersection dispute Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

A dispute over plans by the B.C. Ministry of Transportation to change an intersection on Highway 33 in the Black Mountain area that has the owners of a local company claiming it will put them out of business turned into a stand-off Thursday morning.

Dayleen Van Ryswyk said when trucks and workers showed up at the intersection of Highway 33 and Garner Road outside her family’s Okanagan Koi and Water Gardens business on Thursday morning to start work, she along with her husband and several others blocked access to the site to protest the work.

Daylene Van Ryswyk In the end, the police were called and no work took place. No one was arrested.

“When they came to start ripping out our driveway, we stood our ground,” said Van Ryswyk.

The family says it wants the ministry to live up to a contract they say the ministry signed in

2010 that would provide them with a safe, commercial frontage road to access their business.

Instead, the current plan is to realign the intersection to access the recently upgraded stretch of Highway 33, and that would put the entrance to the business in the intersection.

Van Ryswyk has a report from an engineering company she hired to review the chosen option that says the ministry’s plan is unsafe.

“A driveway at this location is contrary to driver expectation and increases the likelihood of driver error resulting in an unacceptable risk to public safety,” says the report from Page Smyth, a senior engineering technolo-

gist with Ecora Engineering Ltd. The report says the pre-existing entrance did not strictly conform to Transportation Association of Canada guidelines but did provide an “adequate” safe approach grade and was located well clear of the intersection of Highway 33 and Garner Road.

Van Ryswyk said the recent upgrade to that stretch of Highway 33 changed that and put the driveway to the business in the middle of the intersection.

She also has a letter from the city to the ministry saying the chosen access option, known as the north access option, is “not viable.”

“The north access op-

THE VAN RYSWYK family and their supporters brought to a halt attempts by the provincial ministry of transportation to upgrade the Highway 33-Garner Road intersection at Black Mountain on Thursday morning, the latest incident in an ongoing dispute about how improvements to Highway 33 have negatively impacted the access road to their property and their business, Okanagan Koi and Water Gardens. tion is in very close proximity to the recent intersection changes at Highway 33 and Garner Road,” says the report by the city’s regional projects manager, Andrew Albiston.

“There is an increase in driver conflicts asso-

ciated with an all-turns intersection and unless an opinion is provided by a qualified safety engineer suggesting that this option does not compromise traffic safety, the north access is not a viable option.”

Van Ryswyk said

her family has been battling the ministry over its plans for the intersection for the last two years and it has cost her $2 million to date.

Much of that has been in lost business because both customers and suppliers have not been able to get into the business.

She said her company’s sales are substantially down and she expects this will be the last year Okanagan Koi will be in business because of the problems associated with the road work.

Last week, Van Ryswyk and 20 supporters demonstrated outside the ministry’s offices on St. Paul Street in Kelowna.

The ministry’s district manager for transportation, Murray Tekano, who spoke with Van Ryswyk at the blockade Thursday morning, could not be immediately reached for comment later in the day.

Van Ryswyk, her family and their supporters vowed to be back at the site this morning to stop the trucks and crews from working for a second day.

But she added, she expects the ministry to start playing hardball and says it may even threaten them with the cost of delaying the work.

“But we just want to hold them to what they promised,” she said. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

prairies, and after taking a wine appreciation course at Red River College, he felt the wine industry was going to be more exciting—plus it was a chance to return to B.C. His application to Calona Wines was met favourably and he started work in the laboratory when the winery was importing a truckload of wine a day from California to make enough Schloss Laderheim.

That meant Calona also had to purchase most of the grapes grown in B.C. in order to bring wine in from another country under B.C. liquor legislation, so there was a lot of wine being made and bottled in downtown Kelowna. However, B.C. grapes were the old style French hybrids and labrusca varieties, while the balmier California climate was considered mild enough for higher-quality wine grapes, the viniferas.

With approval of the FTA, wine began to pour into Canada from other countries, so local growers were forced to consider replanting to the lesshardy viniferas in order to compete. “I was scared for my future when we decided to pull out the hybrids,�

Soon admits candidly.

As well, the wine industry here didn’t use oak barrels to age wines, so there were many changes in wine-making in the Okanagan at that time.

The first barrels were not good, so they were thrown out and good oak barrels were purchased, recalls Soon. “You need the right tools and to know how to use them.�

Today, Calona makes wine in 2,400 oak barrels.

They had eight old whiskey barrels when Soon started there and they weren’t very good for making wine.

International judges and wine competitions served an important role in informing wineries, and local consumers, how they were progressing.

Soon concedes that unlike milk, wine is a luxury item, so in challenging economic times such as these, it’s lucky for wineries that people are still supporting them.

Yet, Calona is seeing a steady VQA sales increase, doubling in the past three years. “We were born out of an economic upheaval, and now we have to survive another set of difficult economic times,� says Soon philosophically. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Firefighters discover marijuana grow op in Mission house fire Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Members of the Kelowna Fire Department uncovered an illegal grow operation Thursday afternoon as they attended a house fire in the Mission.

Crews received a report of smoke and small flames coming from a house on Old Meadows Road around noon.

Firefighters began an initial attack upon arrival, searching for the source of the fire.

“The second crew I sent through the garage in the basement of the house.

They got about six feet into the house and found an illegal grow op,” said Tim Light, platoon captain with the Kelowna Fire Department. “(Firefighters) were pulled out of the house and (we began) a defensive attack, trying to search for the fire through the out-

side of the residence.”

Light said the crews were pulled out of the house because the tampering that had been done to electrical wires posed potential danger.

“As soon as we find (a grow op), we get everybody out. Not only for the electrical hazards, but sometimes there are booby traps inside these places,” said Light.

FortisBC was called to cut off the power and gas to the house.

According to Light, the house was separated into two different dwellings, rented out by different tenants. The substantial marijuana grow op was only evident on the ground floor.

Nobody was in the house during the fire; however, the upstairs tenant arrived while crews were on the scene.

According to Light, the tenant said he had no

knowledge of the grow op taking place on the floor below him.

Another neighbour said he never knew marijuana was being grown next door either.

In total, the fire department responded with three engines, one rescue vehicle and a command vehicle with 16 personnel in total.

“It’s a lot of resources for an illegal operation,” said Light.

KELOWNA firefighters attended a house fire on Old Meadows Road at noon Thursday.

Dr. Specs Optical is proud to announce Dr. M. Choudhry

It took a team effort to keep residents and properties safe during the Trepanier fire, which started on the afternoon of Sept. 9.

The District of Peachland will recognize that effort this Sunday with a Community Celebration, from 1 to 5 p.m., at Heritage Park.

“It’s just the district’s way of extending a thank you to all who were involved,” said Polly Palmer, director of corporate services with the district.

“So many people come together when this (type of thing) happens.”

Some of those who will be thanked include the B.C. Wildfire Management Branch, local fire departments, RCMP detachments and ambulance services, as well as countless other organizations that contributed to the cause.

Peachland’s Grant Eisworth will provide entertainment at the event, playing two sets at 2 and 4 p.m.

Peachland Mayor Keith Fielding and Peachland fire chief Grant Topham will give speeches at 3 p.m.

Hot dogs and hamburgers will be provided as residents will have a chance to meet the emergency workers who were part of the Trepanier fire relief effort.

According to Palmer, several neighbourhoods have held informal celebration barbecues since the fire was put out, but council members voted to host a celebration that included the entire municipality.

Class encourages differing viewpoints

The sun has barely set on summer in the Okanagan and classrooms are still buzzing with the fresh feeling of a school year beginning.

For a select group of students at UBCO, this is indeed a year of new experiences as they venture into the “intergenerational classroom,” where students aged 18 to 80 come together to learn.

“Early on, it became evident that, at some point, one could question whether we really needed textbooks,” said Mary Ann Murphy, the sociology professor who heads the class as both a research project and a way of offering students an innovative education.

“I keep encouraging them to go around and talk to one another,” she said.

“That interaction is really what’s important here.”

City in Action

This is the fourth year that the second-level course is on offer.

Murphy created it at the behest of a young man who asked why there weren’t any older people in her classroom to learn from as she taught a sociology course on aging.

Working with a $10,000 UBC Provost Grant for the Integration of Teaching and Research, Murphy has since crafted a curriculum focused on the critical thinking sociologists use to examine social phenomenon, but drawing on the life experience both younger and older students bring to bare on topics like ageism, intergenerational conflict and generational differences.

This week, for example, the group was looking at “failure to launch,” after last week’s national census data revealed vast numbers of 20-somethings remain at home well into adulthood, blurring the lines between adult and adolescence.

“If we are living so much longer, do we really need to leave home (in young adulthood)?” Mur-

A quick scan of the discussion groups reveals there are young people who have left home already, young people who cannot foresee leaving in the near future, and a single mother who said she’s had to push her boomerang kids out of the nest, though they keep returning.

UBCM majority passes endorsement to legalize pot Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

After a passionate debate and a close vote, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention passed a motion Wednesday calling on the federal government to decriminalize marijuana.

And the difference of opinion about the topic was reflected in how municipal politicians from this area voted as well.

While Kelowna city councillors Gerry Zimmermann and Maxine DeHart voted against the motion, Luke Stack voted for it.

It was not immediately clear how Kelowna Coun. Robert Hobson voted. West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater voted against.

Both Zimmermann and DeHart were reported as saying they want to see the issue debated by their own council before supporting it. k Stack felt decriminalizing it would give some control over what has become one of the province’s biggest, albeit illegal, exports.

The UBCM placed major emphasis on the issue this year, staging a debate Monday featuring former B.C. attorney general Geoff Plant, in favour of loosening pot laws, and University of the Fraser Valley criminologist Darryl Plecas opposed.

After a lineup of speakers on the impact of marijuana grow ops on communities and crime, a show of hands by hundreds of delegates supported the call for decriminalization.

Metchosin Coun. Moralea Milne reminded dele-

Luke Stack gates that Plant termed pot prohibition “a disastrous and expensive failure of public policy.” She said more than 500,000 B.C. residents have smoked marijuana, but she doesn’t support its use.

“Personally I’d rather have a martini. And I’m allowed to because we changed that very wrong prohibition stance that we had,” Milne said.

Okanagan-Similkameen Regional District director Tom Siddon, a former federal cabinet minister, said his local police reject decriminalization. “I think we’ve been frying too many brains,” Siddon said. “It’s going to aggravate the temptation of young people to move from marijuana, which may well be more harmless than a few bottles of beer, to being hooked on heroin, cocaine and the chemical designer drugs.”

Abbotsford Coun.

Henry Braun agreed with Siddon. “We produce about 1.5 million pounds of marijuana in British Columbia,” Braun said. “We consume about 185,000 pounds, so the vast majority of marijuana is being exported to the U.S. and other places.”

Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray, who skipped this year’s UBCM convention in order to go to Tampa,

Fla., to lobby for his city’s bid to host the Ironman Canada event, had promised to press for the propot decriminalization group Stop The Violence to be heard at this year’s UBCM meeting.

Gray had declined to sign a letter of support for decriminalizing marijuana earlier this year when asked to by a group of local politicians—including Lake Country Mayor James Baker.

Gray said he would like to see the issue discussed by municipalities.

When the issue came to a vote at the UBCM meeting in Victoria on Wednesday, local politicians lined up to speak for and against decriminalization, which is different than legalization.

But either way, jurisdiction for the control of drugs rests with the federal government and it has consistently said it will not change its current position that does not support the decriminalization of marijuana in Canada.

Port Moody Coun.

Bob Elliott said his

“quaint, safe city” has seen three gang-related murders in the past six months. He pleaded for support for decriminalization.

Coquitlam Coun.

Terry O’Neill called decriminalization “the worst of all worlds,” protecting people from simple possession charges while leaving large-scale growing and sales in the hands of criminals.

Nelson Coun. Robin Cherbo said sparing young recreational users from prosecution is worth

it, and even outright legalization won’t stop the criminal trade as long as pot remains illegal in the U.S. Cariboo Regional District director Joan Sorley reminded delegates that grow ops are destructive to communities. “They’re huge operations,” Sorley said. “If we decriminalize it, we take away the tool that the RCMP has to try and shut them down and help keep our neighbourhood safe.”

Dog ’napping no way to deal with animal complaint

To the editor: Recently my husband was hunting in upper Glenrosa and on his way home in the afternoon he came across a German shepherd laying on the shoulder of the road up past Telemark.

He slowed and saw that the dog was indeed alive, but very tired and thirsty.

He talked to her and she immediately jumped into his truck.

When he brought her home we fed and watered her, called SPCA and registered her with them. He put an ad in the paper and posted signs where he found her.

She eventually ended up back home. The owners had no idea how she got to Telemark, but were very happy to have their old dog home again.

The next day the owner contacted me and said she was gone again!

One week later they got her back home once again.

Flourishing drug trade evidence ‘war’ hasn’t worked

I

t may only be a symbolic political gesture for the time being, but news the bulk of B.C. mayors and councillors voted to decriminalize marijuana possession and research the regulation and taxation of B.C.’s most inhalable export caused me to do a gesture of my own.

This cubicle was witness to a muted fist-pump.

It may seem a bit over the top, but it’s not often we get to celebrate sensible decisions in the political sphere, and this is a clear sign that there are some sensible politicians in municipal governments across B.C. Granted, they may not all be in Kelowna, home to a good chunk of the

Hells Angels’ drug trade if one’s to believe the Mounties. A fair number of our local politicians voted against the motion, with some going so far as to claim igKathy norance about the issue Michaels in general.

But I digress.

This is not a time to lament inadequacies.

The rest did their homework and realized, among other things, the myth that pot decriminalization will somehow lead to rampant drug use has long since been debunked.

Fact is, pot is easy to come by. Even teens can readily get pot if they want it.

Ask any high school kid if you’re unsure, and they’ll likely know an easier route to picking up a dime bag than

KATHARTIC

a six-pack.

The only thing stopping them from doing either, really, is education and/ or fear of parental reprisal. So, the laws that exist aren’t stemming the flow of smoke.

That means the only remaining question is whether decriminalization will cure any of the social ills associated with pot production.

Those who have been waging a battle against the war on drugs have said what we have now is a failed policy that has cost millions of dollars in police, court, jail and social costs.

Doctors, lawyers, police officials and former attorneys general have all boarded the decriminalization train, and even taken it a step further.

Looking toward research and regulation of the demon weed, they’ve drawn parallels to alcohol prohibi-

tionand its history.

There’s all sorts of information about how the drug trade flourishes as long as its production and sale is illegal.

Even the local police force has pointed out that when they intervene, take drug dealers off the streets, a door is opened for a new criminal organization to move in—and in case we’ve forgotten last year’s daylight shooting, gangsters aren’t polite when it comes to working out their issues.

A pithy refrain circulating at the moment sums up that argument like so: “You don’t see Labatt’s and Coors having gunfights outside of bars they’d like to be sold in.”

It’s a line that resonates.

If the pot trade were regulated, a $7

Hall Road area water will soon be priced like Champagne for residents I have installed a water softener for the whole house and a ceramic filter for our drinking water as the well water is not poisoned by the known carcinogen, chlorine.

Since the balance of SEKID water comes from higher lakes it is often cloudy and tastes bloody awful.

Now, the dictators at

Interior Health are forcing SEKID to twin-pipe the entire area and get domestic water from more wells, along with chlorination of all domestic supply. The old system will be used for irrigation of farm land.

This amounts to an estimated $22.3 million in costs to a few thousand users. Obviously the bankrupt provincial gov-

ernment is not going to contribute.

Projected water rates for all SEKID customers will be $1,116 in 2015 and $1,428 in 2020. That is two months of my CPP going to water bills.

Since Hall Road users already have a very acceptable ground water system and have been paying extra for it for

many years, I urge all Hall Road users to turn out and vote against this SEKID proposal. Let those in the areas that need the upgrade pay for it. Otherwise we should petition the City of Kelowna to allow us to join that system as city water is only 500 meters from our area.

â–ź DOG LAWS

Sensitivity to others needed from pit bull owners both children and adults. I will be attending the walk as both a guest speaker and to walk to support those who lives have been figuratively and literally torn apart by a type of dog and their advocates.

My child, and the other recent three, escaped with their lives. Now is indeed the time for B.C. legislators to enact good, strong, responsible legislation directed at those who make what could be a very dangerous consumer’s choice.

Walks like the protest against BSL offer nothing more than an attempt to improve “image,� no solutions to the increasing problematic pit bull issue are offered. Attempts to improve the image of this breed/type, or owners of this breed/type attempting to publicly justify their choice of dog, does nothing to help ensure public safety, but good strong regulations can, and that should be first and foremost on the minds of our elected legislators, public safety, not guarding a “consumer’s choice.�

Owning a pit bull comes with a controversy that reeks, and in my opin-

ion, owners need to get used to that smell. With the number of pit bull attack victims growing, many in society grow weary of the comparisons of pit attacks to the bite of a poodle or chihuahua. Then, of course, there is the “it’s the owners� argument. If it is indeed the owner, why do we hold them responsible retroactively? Why not hold them responsible proactively—you want to own this type of dog, then you own all that goes along with it, and that is your chosen burden.

Pit bulls are owned by a minority group of dog owners, and I always wonder why, why own a type of dog that is so capable of such destruction, especially with so many other breeds out there, breeds that offer the same love and loyalty pit owners claim to get from their dogs.

As the mother of a child forever scarred by a pit bull, I would gladly shake the hand of a pit bull owner who erred on the side of caution, and muzzled their dog while in public. They would show me, my child and the public that they understand

the power at the end of the leash, which is the direct opposite of fluffing it up with a decorative bandana at a walk.

An excerpt from a social media site promoting the walk, states that owners should bring muzzles, and tie a yellow ribbon to an anxious or excitable dog, and that each owner is responsible for their own dog’s actions. I find it truly ironic how pit owners will protect one another from each other’s pits at their own event, but choose to stand for these same considerations to not be part of ownership outside this event?

Yes, I do care about all dog bite victims, it’s a hor-

rific thing for a family to experience, but it seems the inherent difference, is that pit bull owners seem inclined to organize walks to protest simple safeguards.

This video is a sampling of some souls lost or scarred by a pit bull or other dangerous dog, watch the video, maybe then you’ll understand why BSL type regulations can be a positive step. http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=924-e6o6zQc Here are details on the Walk in Tucson, on Oct. 27. http://walkforvictimsofpit bulls.blogspot.ca/ Tamie Williams, Jayme Friesen-Bush, Kelowna

billion industry would be taken out of the hands of thugs and creeps, aka organized crime, and would be funnelled into government coffers—a far more peaceful group of thugs and creeps.

But will the sensible municipal politicians gain the ear of their federal

counterparts?

That’s what really matters, considering the feds have the control.

Convincing Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government to change the law seems unlikely.

But, then again, each government has its day and the men and women we see in the municipal

sphere often have a way of rising to higher levels.

So, maybe it’s just a matter of time until I can break out a less muted fist pump and sensible policy is enacted.

There are many communities in B.C. that have varying degrees of BSL, rwhich can include something as simple as muzzling statistically more dangerous and powerful breed/types while in public, and signage on homes where certain breeds/ types are housed. Ontario is well known for its complete ban on pit bulls.

CedarCreek Estate Winery celebrated its 25th anniversary this year by bringing two gold medals home to the Central Okanagan in this year’s B.C. Wine Awards, which kicked off the 32nd annual Fall Okanagan Wine Festival last night.

The 2010 Platinum Chardonnay and 2009 Platinum Meritage were singled out by the nine judges who toiled for four days here in Kelowna this week, swirling,

sniffing, sipping and then spitting a record number of entries.

CedarCreek wines also received two silver medals and five bronze medals.

Three other local wineries also picked up gold medals: Gray Monk Estate Winery with its 2011 Ehrenfelser; Peller Estates with its 2011 Private Reserve Dry Riesling; and Quails’ Gate Estate Winery with its 2010 Stewart Family Reserve Chardonnay.

Gray Monk also received silver and bronze medals, as did Peller Estates and Quails’ Gate.

Kelowna’s Spierhead Winery was selected as the best new winery by judges, who also awarded the young winery a silver medal for its 2010 Pinot Noir, and bronze for its 2010 Pursuit and its 2010 Chardonnay.

Last year, Volcanic Hills of West Kelowna was chosen the best new winery, and this year, that winery brought home four silver medals for its 2011 Pinot Gris; 2011 Magma Rose, 2010 Magma Red and 2011 Late Harvest Zweigelt. It also picked up three bronze medals for its 2011

Magma White; 2008 Syrah and its 2009 Eruption.

Mission Hill Family Estate brought home five silver medals and one bronze in the competition while Sandhill landed one silver and eight bronze medals this fall.

Silver medals were also awarded to Arrowleaf Cellars, Intrigue Wines, Calona Vineyards and Summerhill Pyramid Winery.

Bronze medals went to a number of local wineries as well, including: Ancient Hill, The View, Arrowleaf Cellars and Summerhill. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

Five great reasons to plant in the fall

A

fter more than 40 years of gardening in the Central Okanagan, I’ve discovered there are many advantages to doing some major gardening projects in the fall.

1) Xeriscape/water conservation: When planting an area that’s difficult to water, fall planting ensures a much better survival than spring planting.

Choose the most drought tolerant species (check the plant database at www.okanaganxeri-

GARDENING WITH NATURE

Gwen Steele scape.org). Drought tolerant Okanagan native plants are a great choice and low maintenance.

Many beautiful species are available.

2) Root growth: The soil is warm but the air is cool, creat-

ing good growing conditions. Plant root systems become well established to cope with next year’s drought. They will need less attention and watering next summer.

3) Perennial bed renovations: In fall, perennials are at their full growth for the season, making it much easier to judge spacing for making changes in a garden. It’s a good time to divide perennials that bloomed earlier.

Cut foliage back and soak roots well before digging

plants.

4) Planting spring bulbs: Spring bulbs are only available in fall. They give lots of colour in early spring, then die back to leave room for later blooming plants. For mass plantings, choose naturalizing varieties of early, mid and late season Narcissus, species and dwarf tulips, Scilla and grape hyacinth. Yellow Eranthis (winter aconite) are the earliest bloomers.

These spring bulbs are drought tolerant, going

dormant before summer.

Narcissus and alliums are deer proof.

5) Extending the beauty of your garden: Many varieties of late blooming perennials and ornamental grasses are not readily available in nurseries until later in the season. Visit nurseries now for long blooming and fall blooming varieties to extend the colour in your garden for years to come.

Soak plant root ball in a bucket of water before planting.

Loosen the root ball —many plants are pot bound in the fall.

Soak planting hole well.

Make sure roots are covered in soil.

Leave a slight depression in the soil around the plant so water soaks down onto the roots.

Water and then mulch.

Spread organic mulch (such as Ogogrow, compost or well-rotted ma-

nure) over the soil two inches deep to insulate the plant against the freeze/ thaw winter weather.

After the hot days of summer, it is refreshing to be out working in my garden in the fall—my favourite time of year. *** I will be teaching ‘Easy Maintenance Gardening with Ornamental Grasses’ on Saturday, Oct. 13, 1 to 3p.m., at Kinsmen Fieldhouse.

September’s summer weather won’t stop arrival of fall N

ow that fall has officially arrived, there are signs of it all around, except in the weather.

Bears have arrived at the banquet table in town to fatten up for hibernation; squirrels are racing madly around storing nuts; ski clubs are holding their annual meetings and biologists are counting sheep—bighorns, that is.

Oh, and hunters are waiting for summer to end so they can finish fishing and begin the fall hunt.

Just do be careful driving out that road.

In 2009, another transplant was completed from the same area of Kamloops, to Okanagan Mountain Park to augment a transplant done two years earlier from Keremeos, because of improved ungulate habitat in the park following the 2003 wildfire.

Aaron has just completed a report on that herd, with funds from the Habitat Conservation Trust Foundation, and it’s good news.

This spring, he says they spotted 74, so they estimate the population is about 115, with positive numbers of overwintering lambs.

He estimates by 2014, at this rate of growth, that population will double,

Roving MLA is making a mockery of party loyalty O

K, paint me confused. John van Dongen has quit yet another provincial political party because his leader is inept and not worthy of his support.

“I am turning in my B.C. Conservative party membership. I cannot in good conscience, pretend that I could support John Cummins for a future premier. I don’t believe he has the capacity to do the job,” van Dongen spouted last Saturday, mere minutes after approximately 71 per cent of party members voted against a review of Cummins’ leadership.

Hmm? Does this make von Dongen honourable, arrogant, indecisive, or none of the above? Take your time because this is neither a trick question nor a timelimited option.

The Abbotsford-South MLA, first elected in 1995, originally appeared to be a popular and astute fellow.

Part way through his recent term as a sitting MLA, he became frustrated with Premier Christy Clark (welcome aboard John) and in a well-orchestrated huff, crossed the political floor. (I am going to avoid any suggestion this smacks a whole lot like the proverbial scenario of mice fleeing a sinking ship.)

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge This past summer, during a small Conservative rally in Kelowna, van Dongen made it abundantly clear he has zilch use for the leadership skills of Clark and holds her accountable for his Liberal mutiny.

At that same rally, van Dongen suggested to local Conservative supporters an alliance between Conservatives and Liberals would be a good idea—a coalition party to save the province.

(What he was really saying is anything is better than those horrible, evil NDP types. It smacked of 1970s and ’80s silliness).

He was later queried about the logic of his alliance suggestion since many Conservatives felt it was simply time to oust the Liberals—not join them. Was an alliance not akin to kissing one’s sister?

He sputtered when it was suggested, according to his rant, that all the Liberals had to do to survive in B.C. was get rid of Clark.

When asked what his strategy would be if the Liberals actually gave Clark the boot, he had none.

At that point, I wondered about his sincerity and loyalty to the Conservatives—or anyone else.

The MLA contacted me the next day to make sure that what I thought I heard was not what he really said, and downplayed the notion that an alliance was the answer.

“Of course” the Conservatives should sally forth with their own army and attack plan, he told me.

Then last week, Sir John leaped off his Conservative horse saying he could not work with Cummins.

Granted, Cummins does not captivate my full attention. Certainly, he seems wishy-washy on some issues; however, in the premiership sweepstakes he is currently miles ahead of the former talk-show host.

While 71 per cent support may not be a cataclysmic endorsement, it’s fairly good.

Lord knows the next provincial election is not going to be a popularity faceoff between three adored and revered candidate studs. It will likely be a lesser of three evils scenario.

Hmmm? Haven’t we

seen this before?

So, van Dongen is now much like a man without a country, pole without a flag, champion without a queen.

The question begs to be asked: Precisely who does van Dongen think is worthy of being premier—aside from himself?

I personally have no use for party politics, which is why I have no interest in entering provincial or federal politics.

However, I also recognize that if you want to play the game you have to play within the rules (stupid or otherwise).

Johnny wants to have his cake and eat it too. He thinks he may get a tasty slice as an independent

MLA. Perhaps he will, but he will probably be about as effective then as he has been so far in his career. Then whom will he blame?

Oh, gee, wait a minute…take a look in the mirror.

I hate to break the bad news John, but the only party left to play with is the folks you hate the most, the NDP. And they don’t want you.

Of course, there is still the very real option that van Dongen may do a reverse flip yet again and head back to the floundering Liberals.

Apparently, he might attend the Liberal Party convention this fall, and possibly rejoin the party if Clark is no longer leader.

Why should such a statement surprise me or anyone else who attended his local rally here in the summer?

Besides, one has to wonder if the Liberal Party wants him any more than the NDP, though the old adage ‘Beggars cannot be choosers’ does comes to mind.

Yup, it seems van Dongen’s heart is in one place, his career planning in another, and his loyalty in limbo.

He wants to present the “honourable and honest” poker face, but I am not convinced it’s not simply a bluff.

I would like to somehow cheer you on, John, believe that you are really ‘there’ for the better-

ment of the province, but I’m sceptical. You are a nice man, no question, but I would not go to war with you.

All three B.C. political parties have weak leaders, with about as much charisma as an onion sandwich, but for goodness sake pick one, John—or go away.

In the world of provincial politics, reality suggests that a team of one can do diddlysquat.

SPORTS ▼ EQUESTRIAN

Local rider recommended by judges to represent Canada The Okanagan’s strength in the sport of equestrian riding was recently on display as a Kelowna-based rider and her horse out of Kamloops, won the Canadian Western Championships as well as the Alberta Dressage championships earlier this month.

Kelowna rider Janine Little and her horse Sietske, a Friesian mare owned by Liz and Leanne Peniuk of Kamloops, won Third Level Open Champion, Freestyle Open Champion, and the Overall High Point Champion at the Western Canadian Regional Dressage Championships and the Alberta Provincial Dressage Championships.

Both Equine Canada Gold-sanctioned competitions were held at the Parkland Dressage Festival in Red Deer, Alberta, Sept. 13 to 16.

“This has been a dream season,” Sietske’s owner Leanne Peniuk said, noting that the horse-rider pair has earned championships at every competition entered this year, some by a whopping 10 per cent score over the closest competitor.

Little also won every class she entered with the Peniuk’s horse Diamond

Gem, who was Second Level Open Champion at the Alberta Provincials and Western Regionals.

“I couldn’t have been more proud, as an owner, to have both my horses do so well,” said Leanne.

“These victories just go to show what can happen when you put a talented horse with a talented rider and let the magic happen.”

And magic it was for the crowd who watched Little and Sietske at the championships. The freestyle competition, in which horses are ridden to perform a variety of highly specialized movements choreographed to music, was especially compelling. Sietske and Little earned top scores, rousing applause as fan favourites at the Wine and Cheese Freestyle Gala, and high praise from a panel of international FEI (Federation Equestrian Internationale) judges, who commented that they would like to see Little represent Canada in international competition. That has been Janine Little’s dream since she was a child.

To pursue that goal, Little trained with threetime Olympic gold medalist Anky van Grunsven in the Netherlands in 2005

Huska wants Rockets in playoff mode

Monk’s return to boost .500 Warriors Wade Paterson NICOLE HASLOCK/CONTRIBUTED

STAFF REPORTER

DEFENCEMAN Josh Monk is back in the lineup this

West Kelowna Warriors head coach Rylan Ferster is optimistic the return of a key defenceman will turn the team’s three-game losing streak around.

The 2-2-0-1 Warriors will get 5-foot-11, 186-pound defenceman Josh Monk back in the lineup for Friday’s home game against the Trail Smoke Eaters.

“That will be a huge boost,” said Ferster.

“He’s one of the best defencemen in our league…his puck touches are so good, which just makes the game so much easier not only for our other defencemen, but our forwards too.”

Monk, who plays upwards of 25 minutes per game, was suspended for three games after an incident in a preseason contest against the Wenatchee

weekend for the West Kelowna Warriors.

Wild.

Rookie defenceman Adam Plant will also suit up for the Warriors Friday; he suffered a concussion last week in the second period against Trail.

“Both (Adam) and Josh are key elements to our powerplay—having them both back in the lineup will be good for us.”

The Warriors’ next three games are against Trail, starting with a 7 p.m. home tilt Friday at Royal LePage Place.

Last Friday, the Warriors fell 3-1 to the Smoke Eaters at Cominco Arena in Trail.

Ferster said the loss taught his team the importance of playing a full 60 minutes.

West Kelowna’s two wins this season have been blowouts with the War-

riors beating the opposition by at least five goals on each occasion. Their three losses on the other hand have been close battles where only one or two goals separated the teams.

According to Ferster, the Warriors need to find a way to win the nail-biters.

“Great teams find a way to win those games.”

The Warriors bench boss commended the work of his goaltenders, Tyler Briggs and Garrett Rockafellow.

“I think goaltending has given us a chance every night we’ve played so far.

“We’re a .500 hockey team right now…we’d certainly like to be better than that, but I don’t think we’re pushing any panic buttons either. It’s a long season.”

For the past two seasons, the Kelowna Rockets have watched the Portland Winterhawks celebrate a playoff victory as the ‘Hawks have ousted the Rockets from the Western Hockey League playoffs.

You might think it’s something the team wants to forget.

But as the Rockets (01-1-0) headed for Portland (2-1-0-0) and two early season games with the Winterhawks, head coach Ryan Huska said he was asking his players to view this weekend like a playoff series.

“We want to have a good effort on the road,” said Huska, from the Rockets’ team bus as it headed for Oregon on Thursday. “I think the challenge for our players is to think of this as a little bit of a playoff series. It’s similar in that you play backto-back games in your opponent’s rink. We want to come down and at least look for a split.”

The Rockets played two pretty good games to open the WHL season last weekend against Kamloops, picking up a point

mix of players Kelowna has this year.

“There are some new faces but a lot of it comes down to players that are a year older and they have the experience and some more confidence,” he said. “It’s a nice combination of some new faces

bringing a fresh perspective in the room and guys that are more mature and a year older and physically a year stronger.”

The Rockets play tonight and Saturday in Portland before returing home on Oct. 3 to host the Vancouver Giants.

in a 6-5 overtime in Kamloops loss before allowing three third period goals in a 3-2 loss at home on Saturday. Huska said despite the losses there were some positives to come out of the weekend.

“I thought last weekend was OK,” he said.

“Five of the six periods I thought we played hard. I thought our players tried to play the style that we are asking them to: Making sure we are committed to playing a team game for a full 60 minutes.”

Coming out of the first weekend of play, third year forward Zach Franko leads the team in scoring with three points, followed by defencemen Myles Bell and Cole Martin with a pair of points each. Jordon Cooke played both games in net. Portland on the other hand, may have lost a few players from its high flying teams of the past two seasons but is still ranked sixth in the CHL. Forward Nicolas Petan was named the WHL Player of the Week after collecting eight points in the Winterhawks’ first three games.

STAFF REPORTER

Coming off her first loss in her professional Mixed Martial Arts career Kelowna fighter Sarah Moras wanted to get back into the ring and back into the winner’s circle.

And it took her only 93 seconds to do that, at AFC 11 at the Winnipeg Convention Centre Sept. 15.

Moras improved her professional MMA record to 3-and-1 after submitting Christina Barry with an armbar in the first round. “Getting the win was pretty huge for me,� said Moras, back in Kelowna and training with Toshido MMA. “I was coming off a loss so it was even more of a big deal for me.

I made a few mistakes but I did enough good things to get the win.�

Moras’ loss came during her first fight for the Invicta Fighting Championships, the world’s only all-female Mixed Martial Arts fight series. Her performance in Winnipeg caught the eyes of Invicta and manager David Lea expects her to get another high profile fight soon. “She did everything she wanted to do to get back in the right direc-

shouldn’t be long before she gets to the top of her sport. “She’s amazing,� he said. “She’s got world class skills. She just needs

the experience and Kelowna could very easily have a female champion in the near future.� kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Fourth-year wing Azi Fahandeg-Sadi (Kelowna, BC) led all Heat scorers with 27 points on 8-for-17 shooting many of which came in a 22-13 fourth quarter that lifted the Heat to victory. Landry Ndayitwayeko (4th year, Ottawa, ON) added 11 points

Not only will the Heat women be playing in their first ever match, with only varsity players, this will also be the first time the new style of jersey will be adorned by the team.

Wrestling a hit during Rutland’s September Days festivities Big West Wrestling brought professional wrestling to Rutland September Days for the third straight year, and this time they featured former WWE vampire, Gangrel, who has been a huge hit throughout Western Canada in the past year.

On Saturday Gangrel faced off against the talented youngster Kyle Sebastian of Kelowna in the main event of the evening; a match that was officiated

by Kelowna’s Kevin Jefferies. The end result was Gangrel winning by disqualification, after Sebastian used his beloved future legend award (that he received in Las Vegas last year at the Cauliflower Alley Club convention) as a weapon.

In other results, Kelowna’s Marty (Mad Dog) Sugar defeated The Texecutioner in a wild and woolly Texas Strap Match, KC Andrews retained the Big West TV

ture Samantha Slides, Riea Von Slasher, Bambi Hall and the ever-popular Raven Lake. Also the new CNWA National Champion, Bobby (Lion Warrior) Sharp, will battle KC Andrews; both Sharp’s National Title and Andrews’ Big West TV Title will be on the line in that one. A giant ten-man

elimination tag match is also on the card, featuring Kyle Sebastian, Massive Damage, Collin Cutler, Cremator Von Slasher, and many others.

Saturday, October 20th 2012 at Bottega 4485 Sallows Road 6:00pm Reception • Tickets: $200

When the Okanagan Film Festival opens midOctober with 30 films and a filmmaker or executive at every screening, Kelowna will have a few dedicated souls to thank.

Two years ago, the society running the festival was $35,000 in debt and a trio of cinema types was making it their mission to ensure the show would go on.

The group included Leo Bartels of Leo’s Videos and filmmakers Jeremy Heynen and Adam Scorgie. Scorgie soon moved on with major film projects. Bartels took on a new role as an urban farmer, though continued to screen documentaries for the festival.

Heynen thus assumed a lead role on OFF, operating the festival as a business as it had lost its charitable status.

“I received advice that I should run it as a business and then, after it has been successful for a few years, try to reapply to get society status,” said Heynen. “So that’s what I’m doing; but it hasn’t been easy.”

Three weeks from opening night, he’s secured the executive producer of In the Family, Andrew van den Houten, who will be in the city to scope talent.

He knows Dancing Still director Rob-

And he knows that every one of the 30 films he will be screening is something he will be proud to show and each will have a filmmaker at its screening.

What he doesn’t know is how he’s going to get any sleep.

Last year, he managed to secure a hefty Knowledge Network sponsorship but for 2012 the deal fell through. Heynen is doing interviews between running out of pay-as-yougo phone minutes and surviving on care packages.

While from the outside it would appear OFF is blossoming into quite the success story with industry insiders dubbing it a vacation from the paparazzi, there’s the makings

of a movie in the effort it’s taken to get this far—and it’s by no means on solid ground.

“I wanted to take this on as something to help other filmmakers and it ended up consuming all of my time,” said Heynen.

A graduated of film school 12 years ago, Heynen worked in New York and now has local film projects on the back burner he needs to get back to.

“People will go out of their way to try to do whatever they can to watch the submissions,” he said, “but I ended up having to make the rule that if you want to be a screener, you have to at least take on another role.”

And yet, after staying up all night, he still rallies to talk about OFF’s films.

In the Family is a 3 1/2 hour epic which main-

stream festivals cannot air because of its length.

Roger Ebert has lauded the film and its first-time writer and director, Patrick Wang, for touring the country to small festivals like this to have it shown.

On the documentary side, Do You Really Want To Know? will turn heads as it looks at the new frontiers of genetic testing and whether we should know the ailments we are predisposed toward.

The Okanagan Film Festival runs Oct. 11-14 in Kelowna under the tagline Making the Okanagan a Destination for Talent.

A schedule and information on ticket sales will be released on Facebook, Okanagan Film Festival, on Oct. 1. Challenges or not, Heynen is confident the audience will come out to see the films. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

ENTERTAINMENT â&#x2013;ź KELOWNA ART GALLERY

Personal Topographies tops off a year focused on landscape

A

t the Kelowna Art Gallery, 2012 has turned out to be a year focused a great deal on landscape art.

COLLECTION OF THE KELOWNA ART GALLERY

JOHN HARTMAN, Rock Creek, B.C., 2000, oil on linen, 40 x 48 in.

SD 23 urgently requires host families NOW for Okanagan Mission Secondary and George Elliot Secondary Schools

ON VIEW

Liz Wylie

Kelowna residents may recall that we began the new year with our call to community members to bring in postcardsized landscape paintings so that we could try to set a world record. We did, with over 4,000 entries received, which overflowed our classroom space and spilled out onto the walls of the hallway as well.

This initiative was to celebrate our solo show of 30 years of landscape painting by local artist David Alexander.

We published a book on Alexander with McGill-Queenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University Press, and have since sent the show on a national tour.

Earlier this month we opened a solo show of 30 watercolours by Ontariobased artist John Hartman, all painted of different views from within the Columbia River Basin in B.C. For the added interest of repeat visitors to the gallery, both Alexander and Hartman are also included in our current group show of works drawn from the galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permanent collection, called Personal Topographies. This exhibition contains many works

The School District International Student Program is seeking families to host short term (5 month) international high school students. Our students come from a variety of countries including Mexico, Brazil, Germany and other parts of Western Europe and Asia. Host family compensation is $750 per month. never yet exhibited to the public after coming into the collection. There are 10 artists in total, eight of whom lived or live and work in B.C. A few generations of artists are represented, and many styles and media are included. Some pieces are fairly straightforward, detailed depictions without much deviation from perceived reality or added personal invention. Others are barely landscapes at all, with only a general structure or composition giving the viewer the subliminal feeling of a landscape. One example of the latter is Ontario-based artist John Noesthedenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sculptural work Bumperedobjects, given to the Kelowna Art Gallery in 2001. This is a spread-out arrangement of small and varied units made from aluminum and rubber displayed right on the floor in front of a tall, simple table-like structure made from aluminum as well.

The work reads as a dispersed field â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a kind of

conceptual landscape â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the table as its horizon line.

John Hartmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oil painting of Rock Creek was created when he visited Kelowna on the occasion of his touring Big North solo exhibition in the year 2000. He donated it to the Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collection earlier this year. Gallery visitors will be able to compare and contrast his approach in watercolour in his upcoming solo exhibition in our small gallery to his treatment of a landscape in oil in the Personal Topographies show.

Some areas in the Rock Creek painting are faithful depictions of the terrain around that community; other areas have morphed into pure abstraction.

We are pleased to show four works on paper

by Lake Country-based artist Wanda Lock from a gift she made to us last year of thirteen pieces.

Each of these contain human figures engaged in

various activities, within a generalized â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at times spooky â&#x20AC;&#x201C; landscape setting. With her repertoire of marks, collage, and campy retro references, Lock uses the landscape for her own ends, making it her own, as it were.

The other artists in the show are the late BC Binning, Jim Kalnin, Ann Kipling, Toni Onley, Jack Shadbolt, and Alan Wood. Any visitors who enjoy working in landscape painting themselves are bound to get some inspiration or other from the variety of work on view.

Personal Topographies is on at the Kelowna Art Gallery until October 28, and is accompanied by a free gallery brochure with a curatorial text, illustrations and artistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biographies.

Liz Wylie is the curator at the Kelowna Art Gallery.

Studio album from king of the live concert, Dave Matthews

DAVE MATTHEWS BAND: AWAY FROM THE WORLD (BAMA RAGS/RCA)

SOUNDING OFF

Dave Matthews new releases regularly chart near the top of the album sales while he rarely scores hits on the radio.

But then again, Matthews really isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t concerned with airplay as his fortĂŠ is the stage where his jam band really shinesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and why DMB have so many live albums in circulation.

greatly extended versions and that is where the value lies, I think, in the studio efforts.

This 11-track album was three years in the making and will come off as long-awaited catnip for hard core fans that, in spite of the lofty sales, might be considered something of a cult following.

There is no obvious radio-friendly song here but the sweet and soulful ballad titled Mercy has been released as a single and it sports pleasant sounding piano, flute and violin.

Songs like The Riff and Drunken Sailor venture into â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s progressive rock idioms while the most straight up song is the accessible If Only that offers a very warm groove.

breezy album from DMB that fans will lap up while others will wonder where the allure lies.

The song that I could easily live without ever hearing again is the overtly sexual Belly Belly Nice.

Here a 45-year-old Matthews probably thinks he is as pretty and as irresistible as when he was a young rock god of 20 years ago, while the paunchy, balding star needs to buy a full length mirrorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;his speedo days are way behind him.

B-

MICHAEL JACKSON: BAD25 (EPIC) Yes, it has been a quarter of a century since Michael Jackson released Bad, his last great album to sell huge numbers, garner scads of hits, meet with critical acclaim and find the megastar with a normal nose.

After this the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;weirdnessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; just simply took over and MJâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s musical output went into serious decline.

Bad was also the album that inevitably had to follow Thriller, the biggest selling album in the history of recorded music.

Of course Bad would fare less favourably in critical circles given the uber success of Thriller but to quote Mark Twain (in his reference to Wagner), â&#x20AC;&#x153;it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as bad as it sounds.â&#x20AC;?

In trying to equal

Thriller, Jackson pumped up everything in the production almost to the point of distraction but this didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop the album from producing five consecutive No.1 hit singles with The Way You Make Me Feel, Dirty Diana, Man In The Mirror, I Just Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Stop Loving You and of course, the title track.

But unlike Thriller, Bad had a few dud album cuts especially the duet with Stevie Wonder Just Good Friends that was a flat and mediocre song (and oddly a cover song).

BAD25 has been released in a few formats where big fans will probably look for the two-CD/ DVD set where the video features a tight bundle of all the videos cut for the album.

The best stuff is found on the CD of demo songs that are the true revelation of this re-issue.

Jackson really worked up his demos to what he considered nearly worthy of release but then again Jackson was a perfectionist and an obsessive compulsive so that these demos sound just fine as isâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and explains some of the overworked excesses on the studio Bad with its hyped up synth percussions.

Stand out demos include the reggaefied Price Of Fame, the gritty, bluesy Streetwalker (cool earthy harmonica) and Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Be Messinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Round with its nifty Latin groove.

There are a couple of remixes of the title song Bad by Afrojack with some mic help from Pitbull that are interesting and contemporary while this collection also has the French and Spanish interpretations of I Just Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Stop Loving You. I am not sure if it is in the can yet but director Spike Lee is working on a documentary just about the recording of Bad (no weirdness is broached) and for the record Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fave tune is Man In The Mirror.

A nice set for the committed fan.

THE STANFIELDS: DEATH & TAXES (GROUND SWELL, WARNER) This is the second release from Nova Scotiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Stanfields and it is a fabulous mix of Celtic shanty punk with a dash of The Ramones and The Clash as if they were in on the kitchen party.

The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s glorious energy is captured perfectly by ace producer Mike Fraser (along with the band) who has worked with the likes of AC/DC, Aerosmith and Metallica.

The Stanfields write and perform remarkably articulate story songs with verve, force of will, gravely gang vocals and often a blend of historical fiction.

Run On The Banks sound like a high octane war cry of the one per centers while the hooky Invisible Hands speaks to â&#x20AC;&#x153;looking out for number oneâ&#x20AC;? while they â&#x20AC;&#x153;turn this rig aroundâ&#x20AC;? that expresses the hearty angst and frustration of youth.

But The Stanfields rock out with awesome authority on Death & Taxes that is bound to turn any dance floor into a flurry of activity.

I loved their intricate story songs such as The Road To Guysborough and The Boston States which made me wonder if these lads have been reading the nearly forgotten great Canadian historical fiction author Thomas Raddall.

Besides this, the band has named itself after the maritime politician Robert Stanfield who was often dubbed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the best prime minister Canada never hadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (due to Trudeaumania).

Watch for them in our parts this winter as the fools are attempting a fall/winter van tour of the west.

GREEN HOME From caulking windows to upgrading furnaces, energy efficiency works for all budgets Despite having no prior handyman skills and a limited knowledge of energy efficiency, Laura Lee Schultz and Jacqueline Gullion were determined to renovate their depression era house. So they picked up their hammers and caulking gun and got to work.

With help from family, friends and YouTube, they learned how to insulate properly and also how to make other energy efficiency upgrades. Some small, and with help from professionals, some big. Like the furnace.

“It was pretty obvious that the furnace had to go. It was amazingly old and inefficient,” said Schultz. So they took the plunge and had it replaced with an ENERGY STAR® highLess Travelled Organic Food farmers first, local We buy fromith produce from outsidse w g tin en m le grocery item supp well as select our region asfrom our region.

efficiency model. They had the original ducting system replaced too for even better efficiency.

The ladies have proven that you don’t have to spend a lot to save a lot. “For less than $50 on a tube of window caulk, a roll of weatherstripping and a window film kit, you can significantly change the comfort of your home,” says Gullion.

And they’ve got proof. Before making improvements, an energy advisor rated the house at 48 out of 100 on the www. oee.nrcan.gc.ca/residential/new-homes/upgrade-packages EnerGuide® efficiency scale (a standard measure of a home’s energy performance). Now it’s up to 64.

And even though they switched out the electric range to a gas model, (“We just like cooking with gas,” quips Gullion), the natural gas consumption has dropped by 26 per cent since making all the energy efficiency improvements.

As for future improvements, they hope to replace the windows. For now, they’re enjoying their home and practic-

GREEN IS GOOD FOR THE HOME:

Choosing the Best Eco-Friendly Options From paints to flooring to carpeting, the options in green building materials have expanded by leaps and bounds.

With so many environmentally friendly options available, homeowners may have difficulty determining what are the best and most cost-effective buys.

Eco-friendly options to choose may differ based on geographic region and what installation procedures are well known by local carpenters and builders. For example, a person in a drought-stricken region may want to look for items that conserve water. However, there are certain items that are “green” across the board.

FLOORING One of the most eco-friendly options in flooring is using a sustainable product, such as bamboo or salvaged or FSC wood. It is milled using less energy than many other flooring materials, such as stone or tile. When choosing bamboo, however, work with a reputable retailer. Much of the bamboo used comes from China, where toxic chemicals or poor manufacturing procedures can reduce the environmental benefits of the product. Wood looks good in any room, but in rooms where moisture may be an issue, such as kitchens and bathrooms, consider cost-effective materials like tinted concrete. Concrete enhanced with added recycled industrial ash, recycled glass and other materials decreases the amount of cement that has to be mixed and used.

ing conservation. Like hanging their clothes out on the line, taking shorter showers and programming the thermostat to a comfortable, but efficient 20° Celsius when home.

If you’re considering making energy efficiency improvements like Schultz and Gullion, FortisBC has a number of rebate offers, how-to advice, and quick tips to help make it easier and economical.

If you currently heat your home with oil, switching to cleaner burning natural gas makes sense. And better yet, the utility offers a $1,000 rebate when you convert your oil heating system to natural gas.

Already have a gas furnace or boiler? If it’s more than 15 years old considering upgrading it to a qualifying high-efficiency model for an $800 rebate. But hurry, only 2,000 rebates are available.

And while upgrading the heating system consider your water heater too. Next to heating your home, heating water is the biggest consumer of energy in your house. FortisBC offers rebates from $200 to $1,000 when you install a high-efficiency natural gas water heater.

Don’t forget the province’s LiveSmart BC Efficiency Incentive Program. Any rebates you qualify for can be combined with FortisBC’s natural gas offers.

And finally, if water heater and furnace upgrades aren’t in your budget this winter, FortisBC’s website offers how-to videos such as how to install a low-flow showerhead, or replace a furnace filter, conservation tips and information on the benefits of natural gas.

Learn more at fortisbc.com/savingenergy.

INSULATION One of the most environmentally friendly things a homeowner can do is to improve the insulation in his or her home. Adequate insulation reduces the amount of heat and cooling loss, which then reduces the amount of energy needed to cool or heat a house. There are many materials from which insulation can be made; many are recycled materials, such as glass or even cotton. However, cellulose -- a plant material -- is one of the more cost-effective and greener options available.

FRAMING Thinking about adding on another room or remodeling an existing one? Then consider using sustainable harvested wood products. They may be more costly, but they’re certainly a greener option. Some construction materials are made from salvaged wood or items made from composite materials.

Wood that bears the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) logo means it was grown and harvested without depleting or destroying natural surroundings.

WINDOWS Just like insulation, windows are essential to protecting against heating and cooling loss. Inadequate windows could be costing homeowners hundreds of dollars in energy waste from drafts or air leakage. New windows are generally rated on a number of factors: air leakage, condensation resistance, U-factor or level of insulation, and solar heat gain, or the window’s ability to block heat from the sun. Homeowners can talk with a window professional to determine the right windows for the climate and direction the windows face.

TRAVEL Big science tops Hawaii Brian J. Cantwell CONTRIBUTOR

MAUNA KEA, Hawaii—If you count from sea level, we were 13,796 feet up, almost as high as Mount Rainier. Plenty high enough.

But if you count from the ocean floor? My Big Island tour group was shivering in thin air atop the Earth’s highest mountain—33,500 feet from its

waterlogged base to pumice-laden peak.

And that measure seemed the more meaningful, because this place seemed to have far more to do with outer space than with anything terrestrial.

ping tourists looked like so many geckos swarming around a dozen enormous observatories dotting the top of Hawaii’s highest peak.

Amid tomato-red cinder cones, about the only thing that grows is the rare silver sword plant. The big crop atop Mauna Kea is telescopes, including the world’s two largest functional telescopes, with mirrors 33 feet across, at the W.M. Keck Observatory. (By way of comparison, the Hubble Space Telescope comes in at a measly 8 feet.)

Being here is much more than a chance to see a pretty sunset—though those can be amazing. It’s a bit like going to Cape Canaveral for a rocket launch. Every visitor to the summit of this dormant volcano is giddy, and not just from thin air.

“It’s a very high-powered, high-level group of astronomers here,” tour guide Greg Brown told our van full of visitors.

“It’s big science!”

Hundreds of scientists and engineers support the Mauna Kea observatories, while data from the telescopes are transmitted worldwide to astronomers. One night’s use of a Keck telescope is valued at $50,000.

The Keck Observatory alone is credited with detecting more planets outside our solar system than any other observation post, and helped in discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe, for which astronomers earned the 2011 Nobel Prize in physics. Just seeing this place makes you feel smarter.

Other observatories at the top represent partners such as NASA, the Smithsonian, governments from Japan to the United Kingdom, and universities such

OUTSIDE THE United Kingdom Infrared Telescope, visitors photograph sunset atop Hawaii’s Mauna Kea, where temperatures often require warm parkas, even in summer. Also among the scientific paraphernalia on the mountain top are the Gemini Northern Telescope and the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. as Cal Tech.

The high altitude— above 40 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere— along with dark skies and dry, clean air attracted astronomers to Mauna Kea starting in 1964 when the state of Hawaii spent $42,000 to build the cliffclimbing road, the third highest in the United States “Usually it’s so dry up here you can’t see your breath in the cold!” Brown told our group as our van headed up like a plane taking off.

A strong island-wide ordinance restricting outdoor lighting helps keep astronomers happy. In case you’ve wondered why the Big Island has strange yellow-hued streetlights, it’s because their light spectrum interferes less with the telescopes.

One interpretation of Mauna Kea’s name is “white mountain,” since it’s the only place in Hawaii to regularly get winter snow. “Here you’ll see the only example of snowremoval equipment in the state of Hawaii!” Brown quipped as we drove past a road-crew barn.

But snow clouds, or

any clouds, don’t often cover the summit. The proportion of clear nights is among the highest in the world, and astronomers continue to pledge their allegiance to Mauna Kea: The next big thing coming here is the Thirty Meter Telescope, three times larger than any on Earth, so powerful that it will bring in to view galaxies forming at the edge of the observable universe, near the beginning of time. (Chew on that along with your macadamia-nut fudge.)

Construction may begin by year’s end at a cost of up to $1.2 billion.

Backers include Japan, India, China and universities across Canada and California.

Visiting Mauna Kea is a special thrill for science buffs, but don’t expect to peek through one of the big telescopes (see the price tag, above). And while most tour operators go up for sunset, the few observatories that welcome visitors close at 4 p.m., so unless you go up on your own you won’t get inside.

Even in a comfortable tour van specially built for the steep road, it’s no

drive to the beach. As we climbed, Brown warned us of the hazards of altitude sickness.

“You might be short of breath, you might feel a little dizzy,” he warned.

“Yee-ha!” crowed a woman in the rear.

If those symptoms, or headache, are severe, he said, “I have a little bottle of oxygen and I hook you up to Greg’s Oxygen Bar and get you down the hill.”

To acclimate to the elevation change, we’d stopped for a picnic dinner in cypress woods near the 7,000-foot level.

Other tour groups and visitors typically stop at the 9,300-foot level at the visitor-information station at the Onizuka Center for International Astronomy, named for Ellison Onizuka, a hometown Kona astronaut who died in the Challenger space shuttle explosion in 1986.

Authorities urge summit visitors to use fourwheel drive vehicles because of the steep, rough road, and to respect the altitude at the summit, where temperatures often get down to freezing. Kids younger than 16 and any-

body with health problems are strongly discouraged from going higher than the visitor center.

The cautions don’t convince all, though.

“Here’s one of those four-wheel drive Mustangs coming down, and this one’s a convertible,” Brown noted with sarcasm on our way up.

At the summit, we donned parkas provided by our guide. For my early-June visit, the temperature was in the upper 30s, with winds to 20 mph.

Fingers quickly numbed.

The wind was 83 mph a few days earlier.

The combination of excitement and low oxygen seemed to transform the tour group into giggly schoolkids, gawking at the summit’s moonlike landscape dotted with gleaming observatory domes.

I ran to get a photo of the mountain’s sunset shadow against clouds below, but quickly stopped when my heart pounded and breath ran short. But just stopping to gaze was rewarding.

“Oh, wow! Look at the clouds, and the clouds

above the clouds!â&#x20AC;? said Shelley Burr, a Boeing employee visiting from Seattle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have words for this. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the top of the world!â&#x20AC;?

After a half-hour of wild photo snapping, Brown called out, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, Gemini Northern (observatory) is rotating, and Keck has their doors open!â&#x20AC;? The observatories were opening for the night. It felt like a sci-fi movie set.

It would be a shame to get up in that clear air and not wait for stars to come out. So we drove back to the visitor center where Brown set up an 11-inchwide telescope for our own star party, which included both the Northern Star and Southern Cross in one swivel of the head.

Saturnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rings drew â&#x20AC;&#x153;oh, wows!â&#x20AC;? and at least one OMG, and hot chocolate and homemade

brownies revived us.

On the dark road back to the Kona hotel strip, Brown suddenly braked the van to point out the Big Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s active volcano. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Look, over near the base of Mauna Loa, see that red glow? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kilauea!â&#x20AC;?

Whoa. The glow from lava from the planetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bowels capped off the night, and brought us all back to earth.

IF YOU GO Tours: I took the Mauna Kea Summit and Stars Adventure ($200, including picnic dinner and one-hour stargazing party) with Hawaii Forest & Trail (800-464-1993 or www.hawaii-forest. com). The 14-passenger van left the town of Kailua-Kona at 3 p.m. and returned around 10:30 p.m., with about 45 minutes to watch sunset at the summit. A guide provided de-

tails on natural, cultural and geologic history and it was worth the price.

cours d’Elegance.

Ken Dallison, (www. kendallison.com) who lives in Mississauga, won the coveted Lincoln Award which is presented by fellow A-list artists as the ‘most elegant’ work on display. It was of a 2002 Ferrari Zagato 575 GTZ. Dallison was also commissioned to draw the official invitation-only artwork for Lincoln/AFAS gala with the original work being raffled off at the event to one lucky show attendee.

Koka said, “The Peter Helck Award is chosen by the AFAS member artists themselves unlike the other awards which are selected by the judging panel.

“It is awarded to the work that best represents ‘what automotive fine art should be’ in the view of the members. It is a peer award and I believe that’s what makes it special.”

Dallison said he was thrilled to have been selected for the Lincoln Award because of who judged his work to be worthy.

“It’s really something when people of that calibre look at your work and think it is worthy of such recognition,” he said.

Koka described the creation of the official poster as one of the greatest challenges of his career in that the Pebble Beach Company picks the car and the backdrop; in this case a 1936 HispanoSuiza J12 with the body

by Saoutchik in a classic pose in front of The Lodge at Pebble Beach.

“The car was undergoing major restoration and was literally in pieces when I started working on the painting,” said Koka.

“I had to consult restorer Brian Hoyt and owner Chip Conner to understand the changes

BESIDES WINNING the Peter Helck Award at the Lincoln sponsored Auto-

motive Fine Arts Society (AFAS) exhibition, Kitchener Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jay Koka was commissioned to do the official poster (shown here) for the Pebble Beach Concours dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Elegance. It is a 1936 Hispano-Suiza J12 with the body by Saoutchik in a classic f pose in front of The Lodge at Pebble Beach.

that the Hispano-Suiza would undergo. In a sense, the painting existed before the car was complete.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the most challenging aspects of the painting was the colour of the car. The fenders are black with an extremely dark cherry body. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so dark in fact that under most conditions it looks black. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The challenge was to make the body different enough from the fenders so that one could visually understand that it is different,â&#x20AC;? added Koka. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The subject and style embodies the classic elegance of this famous event.â&#x20AC;?

Dallison said inspiration comes from many quarters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember as a kid, maybe 10 years of age, being fascinated by machinery and how it looked,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Later when I was in art school we would go down to the American PX, this was just after the war, and look at all those American cars with their fins and all that chrome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like an awak-

ening to me who was used to cars in Britain only coming in two colours, blue and black.â&#x20AC;?

Over some 57 years as an automotive artist Dallison has drawn just about every important car there is and remains in high demand by car owners who want their prize immortalized in the Dallison style.

All his works are meticulously researched before he lifts a brush. Dallison has files of tens of thousands of photographs and images he has collected over the decades each in itself a piece of irreplaceable history.

He says that when he is working on a piece, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I try to draw what I see. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I call hand-eye.â&#x20AC;?

But Dallison is also known for the way he combines the car and setting with people, all of which give his works a human touch.

Koka said many times it is a setting or place where the inspiration for a piece begins and such is the case with one of the three works he exhibited at Pebble Beach this year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the time it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start with the car

but the background,â&#x20AC;? he said noting that one of the works named One Lane Road Ahead depicting a red, 599 Ferrari rounding a turn at speed came from a ride down the Pacific Coast Highway south of Carmel, California. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As I was riding along, I noticed how we would go from areas of total sun-

shine and then be in a forested areaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and it was how we came in and out of the shade.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you look at the painting youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see the Ferrari in full sun, but the background is in shadow.â&#x20AC;?

Koka said he has already started planning the three works he will enter next year.

Subaru has very successfully carved out a niche as the maker of tough, long-lasting cars and CUVs with the bonus of proven all-wheel-drive.

It has made this a virtue that people know and appreciate resulting in constant market growth.

For instance, August saw record sales. Subaru feels confident it can hit three per cent market share in Canada, something that was dream just a decade ago.

And to do this, Subaru wants the brand also to be seen as fun in addition to safe and solid. This aim started earlier this year with the BRZ sporty coupe.

Considering it already had all the ingredients in

the part bin, Subaru is arriving a bit late in the exploding compact CUV segment.

Subaru says it has had time to think about what buyers in this market want and have concluded ‘fun’ is missing.

Subaru will sell the XV Crosstrek in three trim levels: the XV Crosstrek Touring, Sport Package and Limited Package starting at $24,495/$26,495/$28,995 respectively.

Standard equipment includes: tilt/telescoping steering wheel with audio and Bluetooth control switches, power windows, door locks and body coloured side mirrors, 4.3inch colour multi-function display with fuel economy information, automatic climate control and heated front seats, auto

SUBARU IS MAKING an entry into the super competitive CUV segment with the 2013 XV Crosstrek that combines legendary engine and all-wheel-drive technology with a ‘fun’ package. on/off headlights, outside temperature display and carpeted floor mats.

Additional standard creature comforts include heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors and a windshield wiper de-icer.

There is one engine, two transmissions and standard Subaru Symmetrical Full-time All-Wheel

Drive.

The 2.0-litre ‘Boxer’ or horizontally opposed four-cylinder DOHC engine with direct injection is the same as found in the Impreza, here producing 148 hp and 145 lb/ft of torque.

There is a transmission choice of a standard five-speed manual or Sub-

aru’s Lineartronic CVT with six-speed sequential manual mode. Both come with hill holder mode and an ECO gauge to help the driver be as fuel efficient as possible.

The CVT adds $1,300 to the price of the XV. With the CVT in

manual mode, steering wheel paddle shifters allow the driver to control the transmission via six pre-set ratios. The transmission also allows ‘second gear’ starts in order to limit the likelihood of wheel spin on slippery surfaces.

With the CVT, fuel consumption numbers are 8.2/6.0/7.2L/100 km city/ highway/combined and 8.9/6.7/7.9L/100 for the manual.

Another standard feature is the Vehicle Dynamics Control system that monitors and analyzes

Helping was 220 mm of ground clearance, one of the highest in the segment and better than some SUVs. This, I thought, is why people buy a Subaru. In that one great snowstorm of the year, or the driving rain or just when you need it, knowing there is a proven AWD system on your side is worth it.

With the CVT, the best thing to do was leave it in Drive and let it seamlessly and silently go about its business. On the drive route, I experimented with

the paddles but about the only time I’d use it would be second gear starts in snow or third/fourth gears in road drenching rain where it would be handy.

As for the fun part, the Crosstrek will never be a STI or BRZ, but by keeping the revs up, the potential is definitely there.

The interior was very Subaru being simple and uncluttered. The two XVs I tried both had the coal bin black interiors Subaru is so fond of but there is an ivory offered as well.

On the exterior there are the usual hues but also a tangerine orange and a khaki that were both quite attractive and, with the orange in particular, making the Crosstrek stand out.

Cargo space is what CUVs buyers want and the XV has it with 632 litres (22.3 cu ft) behind the second row 60/40 split fold second row seat.

That’s enough for three golf bags or a mountain bike with both wheels attached.

It will tow 680 kg and carry another 68 kg on the roof.

Subaru arguably invented the crossover utility vehicle (CUV) with the first generation Forester sold here starting in 1998.

Based on the Legacy sedan, the Forester and the Crosstrek have a lot in common. For instance, the Crosstrek is based on the Impreza sedan. Both share the same architec-

ture of Boxer engine and AWD that can be traced back some four decades.

Subaru Canada won’t like me comparing the two as the Forester is its bread-and-butter seller and they see Crosstrek as very much a standalone vehicle, not son-of-Forester.

Either way, what the Crosstrek does is offer all the attributes of the Forster but in a smaller package while retaining the rock solid core Subaru design/build qualities.

It worked for Forester ã and Outback for that matter ã and I’ll bet it works for Crosstrek.

VETA CLARK-PEVERLEY 1914 - 2012

Like mother like daughter as the saying goes, yet more profound than the proverbial as every daughter knows.

My motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was like a wonderful picnic, an amazing banquet, a glorious feast. a journey of perpetual happiness to say the very least.

My mother was a woman of substance, of dignity, wisdom and grace, and the years only enhanced her beauty, her beauty of soul and face.

She will never lose that essence for beauty always leaves its trace.

So with her everlasting light, my mother will be with me every day and night.

Loving you forever, your daughter, Debbey

My dearest grandmother, Thank you for 19 years of love, guidance and magical fun-ďŹ lled adventures.

Your loving great, great grandaughter, Abi Rosella Dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Este

BIRT, CLAIRE MARY It is with heavy hearts that the family of Claire Mary Birt (Marchand), announce her passing on September 4th, 2012 in Kelowna B.C. She was born on October 16th, 1924 in Petite De Gras, Nova Scotia. Her husband Wendell, and brothers Stanley and Ernest Marchand predeceased her.

Claire grew up in Isle Madame, in a little ďŹ shing village, with a very loving family that shaped the beautiful woman she became. She moved to Halifax during WWII, where she met her husband, Wendell, who was enlisted in the Navy. Following the war, they were married in Cove Head and lived in Souris, P.E.I. until 1961.

All of her ďŹ ve children were born on the Island. She was a fantastic mother and her children had an idyllic childhood, growing up free to explore their world knowing they were cherished and loved. In 1961, the family moved to Truro, N.S., where Claire made many life long friends. Claire took up the sport of curling and Wendell would always comment on her shot making abilities. They became life long curling fans. Claire and Wendell loved to travel; her favourite trips were to Spain with her best friends, the late Kaye and Carl Roode. Later, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Westâ&#x20AC;? beckoned the Birt children, so Claire and Wendell decided to join them and relocated to Kelowna, B.C. in 1990. She mastered Brazilian Embroidery and many family and friends have her exquisite work hanging in their homes. Claire made many friends in Kelowna, and all who knew her loved her, as her favourite expression was â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to love to be loved.â&#x20AC;? While she had many gifts, her ďŹ nest was cooking. No one left her home without an incredible meal and feeling they were special to have been invited. She lovingly fed everyone.

Claire will be deeply missed by her children Alan (Linda) Birt, Wendy (John) Citulsky, Janet (Bill) Stephens, Janice (Al) Patterson, Chris (Allison) Birt. Her loving siblings, two sisters Priscilla Samson and Bernadine LeBrun; two brothers Leonard and Alexander (Ty) Marchand.

She cherished and was so proud of her numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Special thanks to her caring neighbours and dearest friends Bella & Everett Taylor, Jeannette & Buz Turk, and Bonnie & Ron Robertson. We wish to thank the staff at Hospice House Kelowna, especially Rhonda, Rachael, Linda and Orleane, for their extra care. Also Dr. Bystron, and Heather and Elizabeth at Andreenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pharmacy. When our mother and family needed an angel for support, our dear Aunt Bernadine, momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sister, ďŹ&#x201A;ew to our assistance. With all our love, thank you.

Memorial Service to take place at 11:30 a.m., on Saturday, October 6th, 2012 at First Memorial, 1211 Sutherland Ave, Kelowna, B.C.. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations can be made to Hospice House, 2035 Ethel St. Kelowna, B.C., V1Y 2Z6.

Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.mem.com and searching her name under stories.

Add a storm window and you can match the efficiency of new doublepane units.

DRAFTY FRONT DOOR A solid-wood exterior door should last as long as the house it hangs in.

You can fix most problems yourself, and do so economically, especially when the cost of a new wood door can easily top $1,000.

If, for instance, you feel a winter chill when you run a hand around the door’s perimeter, your first defense is new weatherstripping.

The old stuff gets stiff and cracks with age.

For gaps smaller than 1/4 inch, a 17-foot roll of closed-cell vinyl foam tape—enough to insulate any size door—will seal air leaks for less than $7.

Bigger gaps require a new doorjamb kit and matching sweep for the bottom, and will run you $25. A sagging or ill-fit-

ting door should be rehung first to ensure it’s centered correctly in the frame, says Michael Dresdner, a wood restorer.

But if your door is warped or isn’t built to endure your climate, get a new one.

In areas with extreme temperature fluctuations, for example, a wood door with multiple panels that can expand and contract within their frame will outlast a slab style.

WORN WOOD FLOORS Hardwood holds up for 100 years or more.

Problem is, without regular care, floors get dull and dingy.

A screen-and-poly—a surface sanding and fresh coat of polyurethane —is the cheapest (about $1.50 per square foot) and speediest way to revitalize boards, says Don Conner, director of National Wood Flooring Association Certified Professionals Inc. Full-fledged refinishing, which can take days of sanding and multiple coats of stain and poly-

urethane, is a must if there are deep gouges or dents, or you want to change the colour. j Expect to pay up to $5 per square foot, depending on the wood type and how dark you stain.

Lay new floor if the wood is too ruined for patching or you’re down to nails and can’t sand anymore.

RUSTY RAIN GUTTERS

Corroded or leaky gutters and downspouts can cause water to pool around your foundation and seep into the house.

If it’s just a matter of fixing a loose joint in an aluminum gutter, for instance, you can avert disaster yourself.

Just wash the damaged area with denatured alcohol and apply a sealant, says Tony Cobb, founder of the National Rain Gutter Contractors Association.

If you have steel gutters that are riddled with rust holes, you’re better off replacing them.

First, you’ll need a dealer; you can find one locally through the websites of major steam-generator makers, such as Mr. Steam, Steamist, and Thermasol.

The dealer will find the best spot to hide the generator, which needs to be within 25 or so feet from the shower stall. A linen or walk-in closet will do nicely, as long as the equipment is easily accessible for maintenance.

Then you’ll need a tiling contractor and shower-door installer to build you a steamproof enclosure.

When that’s ready, the dealer can bring in a plumber to connect all the pipes and an electrician to hook up the generator’s 220-volt electric cable and digital controls.

When it comes to mortgage default insurance there are currently three main mortgage insurance providers in Canada—Genworth Financial, Canada Guaranty and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation a government agency.

Since 1995, the three have helped more than one million Canadians realize the dream of home ownership.

While each has basically the same guidelines, the choice as to which insurer to use is at the discretion of the lender.

These options provided have helped thousands of families stay in their home when faced with financial hardship that put their mortgage at risk.

It is to their benefit to try and work with mortgage holders to find solutions when a financial hardship occurs rather than start a foreclosure proceeding.

Your best source of community news—the Capital News

Given today’s slumping real estate market, new studies show you’ll reap better financial returns by investing in midrange repair and replacement projects than by ponying up for the high-end cosmetic upgrades favoured before the downturn.

Factor in fixes that boost your home’s energy efficiency and you’ll recoup even more. But first, you need to weigh the short-term cost against the long-term benefits.

KITCHEN APPLIANCES Energy savings alone can justify replacing a refrigerator or dishwasher.

Swapping out a refrigerator built before 2001 for a new Energy Star model, for instance, could cut your annual energy usage by 40 percent.

And a new dishwasher with the eco-friendly seal will use 41 per cent less energy to operate than an unrated unit because it has

less water to heat.

Next year’s models may prove even more efficient; Energy Star will unveil tighter standards for dishwashers and is reviewing its refrigerator qualifications.

If your appliances are reasonably efficient but look dowdy, consider a DIY makeover.

Panel kits from Frigo Design, which come in stainless steel, wood to match your cabinets, and even magnetic chalkboard, start at $399 for the fridge and $99 for the dishwasher.

You can trim fridge energy costs yourself by installing a new door gasket (order one from the manufacturer) to give you a tighter seal so that cooled air won’t escape.

You can also save by cranking up the fridge temperature to a safe 4 C (38 Fahrenheit).

LEAKY WINDOWS The wavy glass in

your home’s old woodclad windows stole your heart, but air leaks and high fuel prices are bleeding it now.

A quarter of home heating costs, and up to 40 percent of cooling costs, literally fly out those windows.

Good news is, you can improve the efficiency of your existing windows for a lot less money than putting in new ones.

On your side may be old-growth-timber frames, found in most homes built before 1950.

The wood is more durable and stable than today’s plantation-grown stock.

“You can’t buy a new window that will last as long,” says Dick Fritzer, a window repair specialist.

You can significantly reduce air leakage in a double-hung by repairing sash damage, insulating weight pockets, and add-

Creating a system for uniform laundry upkeep After-school activities have started to pick up with the seasonal change from summer to fall, especially fall sports leagues.

It’s the time of year the family depends on mom the most.

In a family with multiple sports teams and endless practices dirty team uniforms can pile up fast.

No wonder every mom wants a reliable laundry pair that can handle large loads and keep sports uniforms clean and bright.

Take a look at these quick tips to gear up for an active fall sports season.

With hectic practice and game schedules, organization is key.

New mortgage rules put damper on rising real estate prices

C

anada’s neighbouring countries have gone into major economic recessions, each financial crisis signalling what appears to be a long dark road back to any sort of stabilization.

The recession also hit Canada back in 2008, which was like a light switch that turned off our real estate market boom.

It was recently reported by The Canadian Real Estate Association, however, that forecasted sales prices were showing a predicted increase of 2.2% from 2011 and rise another 2% in 2013.

Flaherty announced July 9 that Chief economist Avery Shenthere will be major changes with our feld, of CIBC World Markets, stated:

“These latest steps to tighten mortgage rules are part of efforts to avoid one of the negative side effects of having very low interest rates for a long time.”

Results show that the larger cities such as Toronto and Vancouver have been feeling a slight cool down in the market in recent months, but this cool down has spread across Canada affecting some of the more booming cities such as Saskatoon and Regina.

Statistics are reflecting that Flaherty’s aggressive changes are responsible for that.

But have the brakes been slight-

ly tapped or are we just simply forced to continue down this long road of our economic drawback as recently forecasted by variety of different economists?

Are the changes to the new mortgage rules the culprit for a decrease in sales across Canada?

Or have we just caught a glimpse of today’s new world of lower prices, high inventory and fewer qualified buyers?
