Saving a fishery treasure

n the surface, Wood Lake appears to be the perfect recreational lake. Its inviting waters are situated close to residents of the Okanagan, running alongside Highway 97. Water sports enthusiasts share the lake with anglers who fish for kokanee in one of the province’s last and best available kokanee fisheries. But stocks are falling for a number of reasons and many people don’t seem to care. But the work of fisheries biologists and the local fishing club are having a big impact in trying to revive the kokanee before it’s too late and Wood Lake joins the list of kokanee lakes that are in crisis. Capital News reporter Kevin Parnell examines the Wood Lake fishery in this week’s Close-up feature. See story A3 DOUG FARROW/CONTRIBUTOR

Urban growth challenge for kokanee stream

OCEOLA Fish and Game Club members clear out forest debris from Middle Vernon Creek, which runs across Lake Country to connect Wood Lake to Duck Lake. DOUG FARROW/

Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

riving past Wood Lake, it’s easy to take that body of water for granted as just another beautiful Okanagan lake. Waterskiers, jet skis and pleasure boats dot the surface through the warm summer months sharing the waters with anglers. While it’s beautiful, warm and inviting, Wood Lake is much more than just a summer recreation spot or a good fishing lake. It is home to one of the top remaining kokanee fisheries in B.C., Canada and quite possibly the entire world. But for two straight years, the number of kokanee in Wood Lake has decreased due to a number of factors, from warm water, to problems with the main stream the kokanee use to spawn. It’s a trend that has fisheries biologists and local anglers worried and working towards finding solutions that will keep the kokanee healthy for generations to come. From work done by the Oceola Fish and Game Club to a new longterm project to detail the water usage in Wood Lake, the time is now to help sustain a fishery that is one-of-a-kind and a true

Okanagan treasure. ••• Kokanee are not your normal sport fish. They are a land-locked version of sockeye salmon with a four year life cycle. At the end of their life cycle, they return to the stream where they were born, or to the lake shore to spawn and then die. And Wood Lake is not your normal sport fishing lake. It has high nutrient levels that help produce such a great fishery with kokanee that are larger than what is normal. Fish up to two pounds are not out of the ordinary. But it is also an urban lake, situated alongside Highway 97 with easy access to boaters, residents, businesses and polluters. “Kokanee numbers have always been unstable in Wood Lake,” explains fisheries biologist Paul Askey. “The lake is a under a variety of stresses. What makes it such a high use fishery and such a great fishery is the fact that it is an urban lake. It’s got easy access. It has a lot of development around it so we have a lot of pressure on the water from different sources. “There is a lot of pollution and those kinds of things that go with an urban environment that can impact the lake.”

CONTRIBUTOR

Last year, lake conditions were too warm for the kokanee. High levels of algae sank to the bottom and used up much of the oxygen that the kokanee needed, resulting in significant fish kill. This season, lake temperatures have been more suitable, resulting in better fishing. But numbers remain down and the fishery is in a constant state of flux. And that has fisheries biologists working hard to keep the Wood Lake fishery intact and healthy. “Wood Lake is a rec-

reational fishery that is currently producing a lot of value for a lot of people but it is also under a lot of stress,” says Askey. “I would say right now is the time we need to figure this out. We are already seeing numbers going down the last couple years and we need to turn that around. Hopefully we can get it back on track.” ••• Walking around Winfield, it would be easy to dismiss the creek that runs through town as just another small stream that

may or may not be home to fish. It’s called Middle Vernon Creek; it’s seven kilometres long and connects Duck Lake with Wood Lake, winding its way through Lake Country. Each spring high waters bring debris into the creek and create impassible log jams. Each year, during the hot Okanagan summer, parts of the stream go dry. Neither of those things are good for the kokanee because Middle Vernon Creek, along with Upper Vernon Creek and Win-

field Creek, are the kokanee’s main spawning streams and vitally important to the success of the Wood Lake kokanee fishery. Each year, the Oceola Fish and Game Club takes it upon itself to go in and clean up the stream, removing garbage and debris and clearing a path for the kokanee to enter the stream and spawn. High water levels early this season resulted in 25 huge debris jams that took hundreds of manhours to remove. “Between July and last weekend, we had various crews out doing their best to clear debris jams and beaver dams in order to facilitate fish passage,” says Rick Simpson, spokesperson for the Oceola Club. “This is all in aid of sustaining the Wood Lake kokanee population. If the kokanee are prevented from getting to their spawning grounds we are in trouble.” While Middle Vernon Creek suffers from low water levels each year, the

work being done by the Oceola club has certainly paid off for the kokanee. Back in 1983, a fish count done on Middle Vernon Creek saw just nine kokanee in the spawning grounds. Last year, considered a low year, there were 8,000 kokanee counted in Middle Vernon Creek. Still, there are many people in the area that appear clueless as to how important the stream is for the kokanee. “The creek has suffered abuses for a very long time,” says Simpson. “We’ve found truck tires with rims still on, we found a truck canopy, shopping carts, grass clippings, all kinds of stuff that has just been thrown over the banks, sort of like out of sight, out of mind. “It’s like death by a thousand cuts. Over time there is a cumulative effect of those cuts and eventually what happens is it dies a very slow, painful death.”

City honours figure skater

Flags will fly at half-mast over Kelowna City Hall today to honour Barbara Anne Scott. The famed Canadian figure skater, who won gold at the 1948 Olympics after winning the world figure skating championship in 1947 as an 18-year-old, was one of the first recipients of Kelowna’s Freedom of the City. She was nicknamed Canada’s sweetheart. Scott died last weekend at her home in Florida. She was 84. Her funeral is

scheduled for today. “I think the city—like the rest of Canada—just fell in love with her because of her charm, grace and talent,” said Mayor Walter Gray. “I had a longdistance friendship over the years with Barbara and her husband Tom King, keeping in touch with letters and Christmas cards…lowering the flags is a good way for Kelowna to say goodbye to a beloved Canadian who made such an impression on our city.”

Got Hard Water? Many areas in the interior of BC have hard water. Lime scale deposits, caused by high calcium content in the water, cause not only hard to clean stains on shower doors, glass ware and other surfaces but it also wreaks havoc on dishwashers, laundry machines and the heating elements in boilers. As local plumber Melvin Witter explains “Due to hard water, taps often need to be replaced once a year and hot water tanks can sometime only last 3-4 years as well.” The loss in energy efficiency is significant and cost associated with the replacement of a broken boiler heating element can be a tough pill to swallow. Traditional water softeners are not only expensive, but they use electricity and require constant refills of salt. Due to the high sodium content of softened water it is not recommended to drink it, which means that additional costs are often incurred purchasing bottled water. Reverse osmosis systems are also a costly affair. Recently a BC family decided to bring a proven European water technology to the Canadian marketplace. Best Water For You, based in Keremeos, BC distributes devices that can effectively solve the lime scale problem without the negative side effects of traditional water softeners. “This is a product that is almost main-

tenance free” says Gloria Fedirchuck who installed a device in her Osoyoos home. “No more bags of salt etc. It is also a very “small” piece of equipment - no more large water softener that takes up space. Best of all it gets rid of the lime scale - clear shower doors, clear wine glasses, nearly ‘smooth’ sinks - i.e. very little lime residue to clean up. Best of all, showering is a delight - skin, hair feels smooth, soft and nice to touch without creams and conditioners.” Other areas of application for water vitalization include hot tubs and pools as well as bakeries. Here the technology can increase the shelve life of bread and reduce mold issues. Bakers report that dough rises better and faster. Applied to irrigation systems, the technology can lead to water savings of 20% – 30% because the soil, plants as well as our bodies absorb vitalized water better. Lab tests have shown a significant improvement of plant growth when the water is vitalized using this technology. These water vitalization devices are a natural and green technology solution to a common problem in the Okanagan and will surely attract attention. They not only address the lime scale problem but offer several other benefits such as improved taste. You can find more information online at www. bestwater.ca or by calling 1-855-499-8892.

of the kokanee fishery in Wood Lake is exactly what the Oceola club and fisheries biologist Paul Askey are trying to avoid. The lake and its fish bearing streams have become one of the highest priority fisheries projects for the B.C. government, which is hoping desperately to avoid a kokanee crash that has affected lakes like Okanagan Lake and Kootenay Lake, both which used to have excellent kokanee fisheries but are now struggling to come back from the brink of collapse. Multiple projects are underway, all of them funded through the Habitat Conservation Trust Fund, derived from the surcharges anglers pay when purchasing a fishing license. A five-year project looking at the daily catch limits for kokanee is nearing its end. Askey says early indications are that over-harvesting of ko-

kanee is a lower priority problem meaning that the two-fish-per-day limit will likely stay in place. That points to the conditions in the lake and in the spawning streams that feed the lake as the top priority. A new long-term project has just started looking into the lake’s water, how much is coming in, where it’s going and how much is being used for things like irrigation. “We need to measure the quality of the fish habitat and come up with a plan of where to get water,” says Askey. “It has to be a collaborative plan between the district of Lake Country, the province, local irrigators and local First Nations so that we can come up with a way to keep the fish healthy.” It’s likely music to the ears of many in the Oceola club, who since 1983 have been slogging into Middle Vernon Creek

City in Action COUNCIL HIGHLIGHTS City Park Development Council approved $40,000 for a public consultation process and creation of a City Park Concept Development Plan. A new park amenity building with a Visitor Information Centre, along with park amenities such as expanded play facilities for children, are expected to be included in the development plan. Facilities are needed since the park pavilion was destroyed by ﬁre in 2011 and to support the redevelopment of the overall downtown. The timing of the planning process will integrate with other nearby public projects along the downtown waterfront including Bernard Avenue Streetscape and Kerry Park revitalization.

Transit Advertising Contract Council approved renewal of the Kelowna Transit shelter and bench advertising contract for a second ﬁve year term. The City will receive a minimum of $120,000 from Pattison Outdoor Advertising over the term of the contract, with the potential to receive additional revenues based on sales performance.

with an army of volunteers trying to help the kokanee in its efforts to reproduce. Club member Rick Simpson says everyone can help if they just took the time to realize what a fantastic, unique and oneof-a-kind fishery exists right on the doorstep of Okanagan residents. “The Wood Lake kokanee fishery deserves a lot more respect and it needs to be revered and valued a lot more than it is,” says Simpson. “You can’t be driving trucks through (Middle Vernon Creek), you can’t be cutting down all the trees up to the creek, you can’t be putting in another wharf on top of spawning habitat. “If the fishery is going to continue to be healthy we have to put some effort into it.

An expensive day in the woods

Mission Creek kokanee numbers continued to slide

Judie Steeves

STAFF REPORTER

A family of five out for a day in the bush to dispose of some wood waste found it an expensive experience last Saturday. Two trucks full of metal and painted and stained wood and veneer from furniture were spot-

ted on Beaver Lake Road by a couple of members of the public who reported it to the Conservation Officer Service. CO Ed Seitz responded and stopped two empty trucks coming down from the access to Wrinkly Face Provincial Park and the High Rim Trail, off Beaver Lake-

admitted they dumped the wood waste so it could be burned in the bush. Fires have been lit in that area in the past for bush parties. Seitz said whoever lit that pile of wood could have been charged with unlawful burning of prohibited material and fined $575 or they would have been charged and forced to appear in court. However, he sent them back up to the site and made them clean it all up again to dispose of it safely in the landfill, and he ticketed them as well. In addition, a passenger was fined $230 for having open liquor in a vehicle. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

There’s been a continued decline in numbers of kokanee returning to streams to spawn this year, although there were slightly more in Mission Creek than last year at the peak. It’s estimated there were 6,000 kokanee who returned to lay their eggs in Mission Creek and 6,600 in the spawning channel built adjacent to the creek in 1989, according to fisheries biologist Paul Askey with the forests, lands and natural resource operations ministry. After the channel was built, the maximum number of fish returned to it in 1992, when 23,000 arrived, and there were 40,000 spawning in the creek that year, he says. The last time there were large numbers of kokanee returning to Mission Creek was in the late 1970s, with nearly 100,000 in 1974. “This is not a great year, but it was better than last year,” said Askey. Returns to the spawning channel were as good as numbers have been since the crash in kokanee populations in Okanagan Lake in the 1990s, he added. Estimates for creeks further south in the valley are 1,000 returns to Powers Creek in West Kelowna, 400 to Trepanier and 1,500 to Peachland Creek in Peachland, and 1,600 to Penticton Creek in Penticton. Returns this fall to northern Okanagan Lake tributaries haven’t been com-

piled yet. The bright light in kokanee numbers is that increasing numbers of shore spawners have been returning in recent years. They don’t normally spawn until later than the shore spawners, so Askey doesn’t have any information yet, but he is anticipating massive numbers again this year. And, he admits frankly, it’s puzzling why the shore spawners are doing so much better than stream spawners. “They’re all competing for the same food in Okanagan Lake, so somehow they must be getting an advantage over the stream spawners,” he noted. In the early 2000s habitat in the lake was limiting the number of kokanee, scientists determined, but today that doesn’t seem to be the case for shore spawners. That means spawning habitat is likely to blame for declining stream spawner numbers, Askey figures. Because stream spawning kokanee mature larger than shore spawners, they tend to be the target of the game fishery, so he is hopeful the problem can be resolved. He has some concerns that by improving stream habitat, shore spawner numbers could be reduced because of limited carrying capacity in the lake. Rainbow trout aren’t picky and will feed on both, so it wouldn’t likely change their populations, he added. There is a long-term initiative to restore habitat in Mission Creek to improve it for kokanee, he noted. That involves restoring the natural meanders of the creek by setting back dykes.

The local Y adopts new name The YMCA-YWCA of the Central Okanagan now has a new official name—it will be called YMCA of the Okanagan. The new official name for the local Y has been approved in the wake of the decision last month for the local Y to withdraw the charity’s membership in YWCA Canada. “While we recognize the important work of YWCA Canada, its national mandate and focus on advocacy and programs exclusively for women is very different from our own local mission, strategic plan and focus on building a healthy community for all ages, genders, beliefs and circumstances,” said Ron Stewardson, YMCA Okanagan board president. “Not only was it very difficult to try to fulfill the very different missions of two national organizations, membership in both requires a lot of additional resources of time and funds.” The local Y will retain its membership in YMCA Canada.

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Size You Up Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Chapman is coming to KELOWNA ON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10TH to outﬁt you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-onone basis, explaining the beneﬁts of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. ONLY UNTIL OCTOBER 31.

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

Sub-hour surgery takes days to get done

To the editor: On Saturday of the Labour Day weekend, I suddenly completely lost the sight in my left eye while sitting on our patio drinking coffee. Needless to say, this is a very traumatic and frightening experience. We were able to contact an ophthalmologist who was kind enough to open his office on Sunday morning to examine my eye. A further examination on Tuesday determined that I would have to go to Vancouver General Hospital for emergency eye surgery. The equipment necessary for the surgery is not available in Kelowna. Further, because of altitude restrictions, we could not fly to Vancouver, nor could we drive via the Coquihalla or the Hope-Princeton Highways, we would have to travel via Kamloops and the Fraser Canyon Highway. An appointment was made for the following Monday at the Eye Care Centre in Vancouver General Hospital for tests, the surgery scheduled for Tuesday at Mount St.

Trudeau may blow life into politically cynical youth

ne of my favourite Paul Simon songs is Born At The Right Time. In part because it’s easy to sing along to on road trips, but mostly because I’ve enjoyed rephrasing Simon’s lyrics into more morose configurations. As a Gen Xer, you see, I was not born at the right time. I didn’t realize this until I was graduating from university, mind you. Then school stores across B.C. sold T-shirts that read something along the lines of: “Here’s your BA, would you like fries with that?” They were a 100 per cent cotton way to cozy up to a dearth of opportunity and a $35,000 bill, though I had bigger plans. My post-grad decision (aka: only

feasible option) was to move out of country to pay back a portion of student debt and not wallow in poverty. The blessing-in-disguise-as-exile offered me insight into a world that’s increasingly tied to this one. But, as they say, all good things come to an end, so I

came home. Since then there have been moments when I’ve been pissy about the cost of living, and how it dwarfed my wage, but that’s life as a Gen Xer living in the “Best Place on Earth.” This week, however, for the first time ever, I kind of wished I was born in a different time. Maybe as a member of Gen Y, Z or whatever it is now. A recent study showed they’re more

optimistic than any generation about future possibilities, and in a way, I can see why. The political spectrum in Canada has opened up, and there appears to be room for young people. Enticing them, it seems, is Liberal leader wannabe, the shiny-haired Justin Trudeau, who, if nothing else, is the antidote to what I saw leading the country since I became voting age. He’s the antitheses of the curmudgeonly Jean Chretien who spoke to boomers and doled out equal parts of pithy one liners and pepper spray. He’s not even in the same world as grandpanext-door Paul Martin, who beat practical to death. And he makes the robotic Stephen Harper look even stiffer than Frankenstein. Trudeau is tweeting out political platitudes and idealism, from a shiny, youthful package on palatable middle-

ground, something that nearly went extinct in recent years. Trudeau has promised to reconnect with average peeps and give them respect, empowerment, jobs, a clean environment. It’s all about “more opportunity, more choices, more success,” he said. “Canadian families have seen their incomes stagnate, their costs go up and their debts explode,” he said in a seductively resonating manner. He then took a couple shots at the Conservatives and the NDP, which was, at the very least, entertaining. Whether he’ll be the answer to the Liberals’, let alone Canada’s, woes remains to be seen, but one thing is for N sure, this lively brand of politics has come along at the right time.

Time to refresh discussion on pit bulls charge. Those sound like alternatives to me. HugABull is also cohosting an educational event in Vancouver, which includes a screening of the film Beyond the Myth and a panel discussion featuring local experts in animal control, animal law, and animal behaviour. We are inviting municipal and media representatives to join us, because the writer is right in one respect: It’s time to move past the discussion where pit bull haters cry “vicious breed” and owners respond with “cherished family pet.” When you look to the data and to the experts

who work with dangerous dogs every day, two things are pretty clear. At the end of the day, pit bulls, rottweilers and other breeds are just dogs. And tying up resources with an outdated debate isn’t making anyone’s child safer. While our two events are sold out we have tickets available to media and municipal representatives. Should anyone associated with this publication or the City of Kelowna wish to travel, we would be pleased to reserve seats for them. April Fahr, Vancouver

Kelowna needs legal services for all to access

To the editor: United Way, John Howard Society and the organizers and sponsors should be commended for holding a community forum a the Rotary Centre of the Arts Sept. 26, entitled Crime/Media/Fear. This included a sociological lecture of the social communication of crime and how it is perceived through current media treatments. It also was an introduction to the Criminal

Law Association of BC, and it included a rare opportunity to hear from a judge’s perspective on the mechanics of sentencing, from local Judge Anne Wallace. Kent Molgat, from CTV, provided a clear presentation on the problems and dilemmas in the balance between sensationalization of news and getting the priorities straight on what people really need to understand and treat with fear.

I raised the issue of the custom of the widespread ignoring of the prohibitions against deception in the sale of securities, as clearly contrary to Sections 361-363 of the Criminal Code, and other parts of the Criminal Code. The spin on self regulation has enabled brokerages to act as though the investment field is now self-regulating, even though the Criminal Code has not been repealed in this area. There is a need for two

outcomes that will enable more effective use of the law in upholding the public interest in our city. We need to organize a chapter of the Criminal Law Association of B.C., and we need to be a part of an initiative to have legal clinic services available to all citizens on a non profit basis. This would help to ensure that issues in law are dealt with in an organized process, and would make the retaining of law-

yers much more of a practical and affordable proposition. It would mean that lawyers could act in the interests of clients without having to spend unaffordable amounts of time in preparation. I am hopeful that Kelowna will be able to build from this very useful public forum. Alan Blanes, Kelowna

▼ HEALTH CARE

Joseph’s Hospital and a follow-up visit with the eye surgeon on Wednesday in his office near VGH. The surgeon indicated everything had gone well and wanted to see me again the following week. When I asked if we could return to Kelowna in the meantime, he then realized that I had been referred from Kelowna and said he would arrange a follow-up appointment with my doctor in Kelowna. I asked about travel routes and he said the Hope-Princeton should

be fine but not to travel the Coquihalla. We started home via the Hope-Princeton and when we were about 50 kilometres out of Hope, the pain in my eye became so intense that I had to ask my husband to stop and go back. Our only choice to get back to Kelowna was via Kamloops which, because of the attempt to drive the Hope-Princeton, made an overnight stay in Kamloops necessary. We finally arrived home on Thursday. Four nights and five days away from home for a procedure that took less than one hour. I understand there are several hundred cases a year in Kelowna and the Southern In-

terior similar to mine that now must be referred to Vancouver. We have the doctors here who can perform these operations. I’m sure space can be found somewhere in the new Centennial Pavilion to set up the clinic. Will it take one or more people to lose their sight because of a lack of a retinal surgery clinic in Kelowna before something is done? I hope not. Amber Firkins, Kelowna

On another note, I find it unfair to accuse pit bull advocates of promoting their breed at the expense of offering workable alternatives.

There are ways to reduce conflicts with bears Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

As black bears move into neighbourhoods, orchards, vineyards and parks in the Central Okanagan to fatten up for hibernation, conservation

officers warn residents to keep attractants out of reach. In recent weeks they have been reported not only in neighbourhoods rooting in garbage and in parks munching on the dying kokanee salmon,

but also in orchards frightening pickers as they both try to get the crop off. Some orchardists complain they can do a lot of damage, but Kelowna has a firearms bylaw that prohibits them from shooting the animals in the city, unless they have a permit. In order to get the permit, minimum $5 million public liability and property damage insurance coverage must be proven and the person must have the RCMP do a firearm registration and criminal record check and satisfy the Chief of Police that they are fit to be issued the permit. Conservation Officer Ed Seitz says they would like to be able to match up hunters interested in shooting bears on local farms with the farmers who need damage control, but the bylaw does not encourage that. Kelowna RCMP Const. Kris Clark estimates it could take about a week for the permit application to make its way through their system, adding that

neighbourhood.

Group buying may have been lauded as a pocketbook blessing two years ago, but when Kelowna-based company GoSango shuttered its doors last month, the whole concept was viewed as more of a curse. High overhead, overwhelming debt and a slew of bad publicity brought the company to its knees, said its co-owner Michael Minor earlier this month in an attempt to explain the circumstances. But consumers and merchants alike found little sympathy as they dealt with the reverberations of bargains-gone-bad and financial loss. Arguments about who owes whom money are ongoing, but while many continue to look for dollars one local businessman has found a silver lining. Bruce Maki is the franchise owner of Kelownaâ€™s SmartBetty. Itâ€™s also a group buying site, but puts its focus on philanthropic endeavours as well as deals. â€œTen per cent of every deal goes back to a local charity as chosen by the buyer,â€? Maki said, noting that there are 20 charities to choose from. The site has been running since January of this year, but recently made an acquisition they hope will make them more prominent in the marketplace. GoSangoâ€™s assets were purchased by SmartBetty in the last few weeks. â€œWe just bought their subscriber base,â€? he said. â€œWe didnâ€™t buy the GoSango name, or cor-

permit applications are picked up at city hall. City clerk Stephen Fleming said the city has had a firearms bylaw since 1906, but itâ€™s been revised several times, including the latest changes in 2007. Penalties for contravening the bylaw range from $100 to $10,000 or 90 days in jail, or both. He said he wasnâ€™t sure if the city had ever had reason to enforce the bylaw. With the property ownerâ€™s permission, a hunter could obtain the permit on his behalf, he said. He could not recall ever receiving any comments against the bylaw. A bear and an apple picker nearly bumped into each other recently in an orchard in Kelowna, with both panicking and running in the opposite directions, related Seitz. However, it could easily have been a bear who was not as leery of humans, and who wanted to defend his food source, the fruit. Or, it could have been a sow with cubs who feared for the safety of her young, in which case she may have defended them, instead of running. Bears who have become habituated to human food and the presence of people concern the CO service, because the next step is aggressive bears who could be dangerous. However, there are far too many bear complaints

for COs to respond to every one, so only if bears are acting aggressively do they take action. Presently, they have set bear traps in two neighbourhoods where such bears have become problems, Mission and West Kelowna Estates, said Seitz. However, the Powers Creek area in Glenrosa is another hotspot for bear complaints currently, he said. Extremely dry weather has dried up natural food sources for the big bruins this year, so theyâ€™ve made what has become an annual pilgrimage for some, into town where garbage and rotting fruit are plentiful. Seitz says it could be another few weeks before the animals are ready to hibernate for winter, and in the meantime, they must take in enough calories to last them through the next season. A Bear Aware program in the Central Okanagan would be helpful to educate people about how to prevent bear problems, he said, and he would like to see local government work with the B.C. Conservation Foundation to bring that program back to this region. He noted bear problems are largely the result of civic planners permitting houses to be built near bear habitatâ€”along creek corridors and in forested land. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

porate entity.â€? For merchants and consumers that used GoSango, it means little other than the fact that SmartBetty deals will be delivered to their inboxes in lieu of GoSangoâ€™s. And while some have said theyâ€™re unusual shoes to step into considering the bitter taste left in the mouths of many, Maki sees cause for optimism. â€œWe realize we have work to do within the community, to build trust but we have a great business model that weâ€™re proud of.â€? Buying GoSangoâ€™s database has expanded their network significantly, said Maki, noting that theyâ€™re going to â€œwork hard to make sure consumers get great deals.â€? Maki also said that Kelownaâ€™s group buying experience may have suffered a â€œhiccupâ€? but the premise is sound, overall. â€œThe daily deal market in Canada is thriving,â€? he said. That, in part, is due to a thinning of the herd. â€œAround 18 months ago, there were almost 10,000 deal companies in North America, and now thereâ€™s less than 600,â€? he said. â€œOf them, SmartBetty is the only one moving forward. Thereâ€™s consolidation in the industry, weâ€™re moving forward not backwardâ€Ś.â€? He also believes the model SmartBetty uses should be more reliable. Because SmartBetty Kelowna is a franchise, thereâ€™s a bit of a hands off model, in terms of dealing with cash. All funds go directly to head office, and they pay out merchants. More specifically, however, is that SmartBetty isnâ€™t an upstart, he said. â€œWe have big corporate backing behind us,â€? he said. â€œWeâ€™re part of the worldâ€™s largest internet marketing company, which has been around since 1995.â€? He said theyâ€™ve also built their model by watching the mistakes of their national counterparts. â€œWe cap every deal. We wonâ€™t sell 1,000 if you can only handle 200.â€? Theyâ€™re also going to take a â€œgrassrootsâ€? marketing approach. â€œWeâ€™ll be getting sign ups by shaking handsâ€Śwe will go out and tell our story and when people hear our story, theyâ€™ll understand weâ€™re different than the rest.

How to save squirrels and a duck

hey’re just little rodents I suppose, but I’ve become accustomed to the excited buzzing and chattering of the little native red squirrels that leap gracefully from branch to branch in our pine forests. Their sudden bark of noise as you walk quietly through the bush can be disconcerting, but there’s no doubt about their point: it’s their forest and you’re a visitor—and not a particularly welcome one at that. They’re extremely territorial, and not just when

TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves you enter their realm— even if it’s just another red squirrel daring to step foot in their kingdom. Which is why when non-native, larger eastern grey squirrels come into the picture, the little red squirrel is soon gone. Being less picky about

their food sources, the greys also do much better in cities, where they will share territories as well as scavenge for food in everything from garbage cans to farms, gardens to birds’ nests. It’s part of the reason they’ve made the list of the top 100 invasive species in the world. Worst of all, there’re right here in Kelowna, downtown and in the Glenmore area and now 16 have been spotted across the bridge. If we all work together and make a concerted

effort, we can still eradicate these invaders before they begin destroying electric wiring, damaging eaves and shingles, getting into attics and digging up bulbs and eating commercial fruit. No change has yet been made to legislation preventing use of a killing trap, even on your own property for these little vermin, but live trapping is legal, as is the use of a slingshot— but don’t even think about relocating them because that would just be expanding the problem. If you spot one, I would suggest you destroy it rather than permit it to begin to destroy native birds and squirrels and more. Also, report your sighting on the website: www.introsquirrel.ca so that their spread can be monitored. Wildlife ecology professor Karl Larsen will be talking about squirrels at

Parking upgrade open house doesn’t draw a crowd Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

It’s said silence speaks volumes. Based on the low attendance at an open house to explain the city’s plan to build a new $15-million parkade downtown and a spend another $4 million to expand an existing one, the city feels there is plenty of support for its plan. Only 21 people showed up to learn more about the city’s parkade plans Wednesday and the man in charge of the project, acting general manager of corporate sustainability Doug Gilchrist, said that indicates plenty of public support. The plan is to borrow $15 million of the total needed for the project and that requires public approval. The city has chosen to use what is known as the alternate approval process to win support from voters, a process that puts the onus on opponents to gather the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters— about 9,500 people—by Oct. 26. If enough signatures are gathered, the city would either have to hold a referendum or drop the project. If fewer than 10

per cent of voters sign petitions, the project will proceed. The new parkade, slated for the site of an existing city parking lot beside Memorial Arena, is being proposed to provide parking for a planned new highrise office tower at the corner of Doyle Avenue and St. Paul Street. The building would house as many as 1,000 Interior Health Authority workers. The city has said that project—which has been welcomed by downtown merchants as a potential catalyst for the rejuvenation of downtown Kelowna—is dependent on the new parkade. The parkade would replace the 280 existing parking stalls with a multilevel parkade expected to have at least 500 parking spaces. IHA has said it will require at least 410 spaces in the new parkade, in addition to the 90 that are expected to be located beneath the new office building. As part of the plan, the nearby Okanagan Regional Library parkade would also be expanded to about 650 spaces from 450, with the addition extending the structure toward Ellis Street to the east. But while few people

turned out for the threehour open house at city hall Wednesday, some who did, voiced their opposition to the plan. Community activist Valerie Hallford said she opposed the plan for several reasons, including the fact the new parkade

is slated for land that is part of what some call the Simpson Covenant, although the parkade is earmarked for land already used for parking. The city argues replacing paid surface parking with paid parking in a parkade, when the money

goes back to provide public parking and to pay for the structure is not a commercial enterprise. But Hallford said the land should be used for something else, such as a park or a new location for the skating rink currently located in Stuart Park.

But the parkade plan also has its supporters. Peggy Athans, executive director of the Downtown Kelowna Association, said because the plan will help bring as many as 1,000 more people to work downtown, that’s good news for the area.

“(The Downtown Kelowna Association) is really excited about this,” she said. “It’s exactly what downtown needs.” She said parking remains the biggest issue she hears about downtown. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

Search intensifies for Lake Country hunter The Lake Country hunter who was reported missing in the Wilma Lake east of Oyama has still not been located, prompting a bigger search effort. “There were 40 search and rescue members out searching today and they will possibly be bringing in another SAR Team for tomorrow morning,” said Corp. Tania Carroll. “The RCMP are continuing to assist with the helicopter as well as two police service dogs.” Tracy DeMontezuma, 52, went hunting Saturday night in the hills east of Lake Country. He parked his truck in a clearing and

it’s believed he walked up a road to a hunting spot of his in a logging cut-block. BACK IN COURT

Notorious Kelowna Mountie Geoff Mantler, remains on track for his final assault trial. The whole thing is expected to last more than two weeks, starting Nov. 26, although the judge will meet with the lawyers at the start of next month to finalize details. Mantler, 29, was suspended from the RCMP without pay after the case where he was photographed kicking a prone Kelowna man in the head came to light,

followed by other allegations of abuse. One of three complaints levied against him was dismissed early on, and Mantler was acquitted of a second charge of assault causing bodily harm in July.

IMPAIRED DRIVING The Kelowna man who is charged with impaired driving causing death will be back in court next week. Cody Richard Wengenmayr, 21, was supposed to have his trial wrap up last week, but Crown counsel apparently suffered an injury and the trial was delayed. Wengenmeyr allegedly struck

Trey Alphonse, 6, and his mother as they jaywalked across Harvey Avenue, late Aug. 30, 2010. At the heart of the trial is whether Wengenmeyr was impaired and whether he had time to stop before striking the pair.

NEW TRIAL The Penticton man charged with the murder of an elderly woman begins his new trial in Kelowna next week. The jury for Corey Wolf Swite’s trial should be selected by Oct. 11, and the trial is expected to continue until the end of November.

Public access and patient drop-off changing at KGH Demolition of the Pandosy Building at Kelowna General Hospital requires the temporary closure of the public entrance on Rose Ave. The Pandosy Building is being demolished to make way for the new Interior Heart and Surgical Centre.

The entrance will be closed starting October 1 and will re-open November 12 There will be no change to the Emergency patient dropoff. Patients requiring emergency treatment can be dropped off at the Emergency Department entrance on Royal Ave. Non-emergency patients can be dropped off at one of three entrances: • Main Hospital Entrance (Centennial Building) Drop patients off at the main entrance off Pandosy Street • West side of KGH (Royal Building) Drop patients off at the west entrance from Strathcona Avenue • Lab Building (Dr. Walter Anderson Building) Take the elevator to the third ﬂoor and walk across Pandosy Skywalk to access the Centennial Building and the rest of the KGH site

TOFURKEY ROASTS… As an alternative to the traditional turkey dinner at Thanksgiving, members of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals occupied a corner of Bernard and Pandosy in downtown Kelowna on Wednesday advocating people opt for a vegan meal to celebrate the holiday. PETA says more than 300 million turkeys are killed in Canada and the U.S. every year, 40 million for Thanksgiving alone, and the birds are often crammed into cruel warehouse living conditions before being harvested. Above, Aimee LeBlanc is given a sample of tofu turkey from the PETA mascot.

There is parking on the ground ﬂoor of the lab building (Dr. Walter Anderson Building), on the west side of the site (next to Abbott Street), and in the public parkade (off Rose Ave). Visitors using the Rose Ave. parkade can access KGH via the Centennial Building from Pandosy Street or via the Royal Building from Strathcona Avenue. There will be a shuttle service to and from the public parkade lobby for visitors needing assistance.

The social aspect is what Stewart looks forward to most when he travels to races. He admitted his goal is rarely based on performance. “There are people who finish two hours ahead of me, no problem. I don’t begrudge that at all…I enjoy the event itself and I get the satisfaction of finishing.” Stewart has learned not to worry about his time. He said he used to chase the qualifying time for the Boston Marathon but realized the only way he will compete in that race is if he’s “the colourful 100-year-old at the finish line.” “I’ve got the monkey of time off my back. “When you stop worrying about a particular finish time, it’s amazing how much fun these things become.” The veteran runner feels that marathons have a fear-based connotation, based around simply surviving a gargantuan task. “It’s nonsense…there is no limit to what the hu-

When Richard Stewart crosses the finish line of the 18th Annual BMO Okanagan Marathon Sunday, he will do it wearing bib No. 100. And when he gets home Sunday evening, he will take the bib off his chest and put it in a frame. The number isn’t a coincidence. It symbolizes a milestone for the Prince George lawyer that has been 24 years in the making. “It took a lot of time to get here,” said Stewart, who is one race away from joining the 100 Marathon Club North America. “I’ll allow myself a brief period of rejoicing and then move on to the next one.” Stewart has done most of his running recently. It took him 21 years to complete the first 50 marathons. He’s completed the second 50 over the last three years. He said his addiction was heightened in 2007 after joining Marathon Maniacs: A website dedicated to those who run multiple marathons every year. The lawyer has built

Along with the travel costs and entry fees, he commits to buying seven or eight pairs of shoes every year to ensure his feet have proper support. But the extra spending—teamed with proper

training—has helped him avoid significant injuries. This will be Stewart’s fourth time competing in the Kelowna marathon. He said reality is finally sinking in that he will pass the 100 mark. His friends will also be in town, cheering him on throughout the day. The BMO Okanagan Marathon and Family Festival attracts over 3,500 participants over the Thanksgiving weekend and relies on the support of 300 volunteers. On Saturday, the three kilometre Running Room Friendship Run kicks off at 9 a.m. followed by the five kilometre race at 10 a.m. Later on, the BMO ABC Kids Run will take place at 12:40 p.m. Kids are welcome to stay in the BMO Kids Zone after their 1.6 kilometre run.

Thatâ€™s why, according to head coach Ryan Huska, itâ€™s important that the Rockets take advantage of its games in Kelowna, picking up early season points. And the Rockets did just that on Wednesday night with a convincing 7-0 win over the Vancouver Giants at Prospera Place. Colton Sissons and Madison Bowey scored twice while goalie Jordon Cooke stopped all 28 shots that he faced for his first career WHL shutout in the win. It was the Rockets second straight win and sent the team on its way to Prince George for a double-header this weekend on a positive note. Huska says the win at home in just their second appearance at Prospera Place was big and now the team has to build on that in two games in Prince George this

weekend. â€œWith our schedule we have to get our points on the road and try to be at least a .500 team to start the year on the road,â€? he said â€œIf we do that we will set ourselves up for the rest of the year. â€œThese games are critical to making sure we are generating points.â€? So far this WHL season the Rockets have picked up a win in Portland and an overtime loss in Kamloops in its three road games. Huska says the Rockets will be looking for at least a split in Prince George against a much improved Cougars team. â€œThey are a really good, hard checking team and we have to go up there with the same mindset that we went to Portland with and try to get a split and treat it much like a playoff series,â€? said Huska. The Rockets and Cougars play Friday and Saturday night in Prince George before Kelowna returns to Prospera Place on Wednesday to face the Spokane Chiefs.

Warriors must clinch close games Warriors from A21 Junior Hockey Leagueâ€™s Lloydminister Bobcats. Briggs posted a .914 save percentage and 1.98 goals against average last season and earned the title of AJHL best goaltender. He carried that momentum into this season with two early wins, but has gone 1-0-0-2 since then while also sitting out two games with an injury. Briggs said he and his teammates have been putting in the effort, but havenâ€™t managed to steal the close ones. â€œWe just have to keep playing how we are and itâ€™s a matter of showing up for the full 60 minutes. â€œWe havenâ€™t had one bad game this year, reallyâ€ŚI donâ€™t know what it is with those close games, just the bounces wonâ€™t go our way. Iâ€™m not going to make excuses for it, but thatâ€™s just the way itâ€™s been going for us.â€? The 20-year-old net-

minder said heâ€™s happy to shake off the cobwebs early in the season, instead of when the games have a higher importance. â€œIt happened to my team at the end of last seasonâ€”we ended up getting swept first round. It was rather unfortunate.â€? An early highlight for Briggs is the friendship heâ€™s built with fellow goaltender, Garrett Rockafellow. That relationship has also helped the teammates improve each otherâ€™s game. â€œWe often trade advice. Whenever we see something wrong with each otherâ€™s gameâ€Śweâ€™re open enough to say â€˜this is what Iâ€™m noticing when youâ€™re in (a certain) scenario.â€™ â€œWe room together on all the road trips; we have a great friendship.â€? Next season Briggs will join NCAA Division 1 Clarkson University in New York. He said this season

A Gift in Memory Makes a Difference

is a good opportunity to sharpen his skills while helping the Warriors fight for a championship title. â€œItâ€™s my last season (with West Kelowna) so Iâ€™d love nothing more than to win a championship. We have the team to do itâ€”everything just has to come together.â€? Briggs was between the pipes last Friday when West Kelowna dominated the Trail Smoke Eaters 9-2. He was also in net when Trail earned re-

venge last Tuesday with a 3-2 overtime victory at Cominco Arena. The Warriors aim to utilize home ice advantage as the teams meet for the third straight time Friday at Royal LePage Place. Puck drop is at 7 p.m. Saturday the Warriors will look to improve upon their 3-2-0-2 standing when they travel to Vernon to face-off against the Vipers. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

â–ź BCFC

Yochim weekâ€™s best defender The British Columbia Football Conference has announced its BC Lions Players of the Week for Week 8 and a member of the Okanagan Sun has nabbed the defensive honour. The BCFC says there were a number of terrific defensive performances during Week 8, but Okanagan Sun defensive back Robbie Yochim did a little bit of everything to be named the BC Lions Defensive Player of the Week. The Rutland Senior Secondary grad made five solo tackles, one assist, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, an interception and blocked

a field goal attempt in the late stages of the game a the Sun nearly pulled off an upset over the Vancouver Island Raiders, falling just short 32-30. The Sun are back in action this weekend in Chilliwack as they play the winless Huskers on Saturday.

OTHER POW HONOURSâ€Ś The Kamloops Broncos snapped their six game losing streak over the weekend keeping their playoff drive alive. The Broncos pieced together a wonderful ground attack led by the BC Lions Offensive Player of the Week Mike McMaster. The Prince George na-

tive rushed nine times for 153 yards, including a 70 yard touchdown dash. He would also make two catches for 27 yards. Vancouver Island Raiders kicker Mark Mueller played a critical role in keeping the Raiders regular season home winning streak alive. The veteran kicker was three-forthree in field goals hitting from 22, 33 and 39 yards out. His punting was timely as he blasted five punts for 165 yards, an average of 40 yards. His four kickoffs traveled 212 yards and he was a perfect threefor-three in converts. His performance wins him the BC Lions Special Teams Player of the Week.

SPORTS ▼ BC CLUB PRO CHAMPION

Claggett out-duels Anderson for pro’s championship trophy It was a battle between two Kelowna-area club professionals in Victoria this week at the PGA of BC Club Professional Championship at the Victoria Golf Club. And when the smoke cleared Dean Claggett of Two Eagles was holding the championship trophy

after out-dueling Kelowna Golf and Country Club pro Rob Anderson down the stretch to win by two strokes. In an exciting finish in difficult scoring conditions at the historic Victoria Golf Club, Claggett fired rounds of 70 and 71 to finish at two-over par and

take home the 2012 Cleveland Golf/Srixon Canada PGA of BC Club Pro Championship. Claggett came from behind to edge-out overnight leader Anderson who fired rounds of 69 and 74 to finish two strokes back. The two went head to head on the back nine in the final round. After a costly double bogey on the par three 14th hole, Claggett found himself one shot back of Anderson with four holes to play. Claggett then birdied the 15th and 17th holes to reclaim the lead and coasted to the win with a safe par on the 18th.

‘‘

AFTER THE BAD DOUBLE BOGEY ON 14, I TOLD MYSELF I COULD WIN THIS IF I CHANGED MY ATTITUDE… Dean Claggett

“I wasn’t playing well going into this event and was very close to withdrawing last week,” said Claggett, also the 2008 Champion. “After the bad double bogey on 14, I told myself I could win this if I changed my attitude and proceeded to birdie two of

the next three.” For his win, Claggett takes home the $2,600 first place cheque, while Anderson claims $2,000 for the runner-up finish. Finishing in third place was former Victoria Golf Club Assistant Professional Jon Kadin, who now makes his home at Gallagher’s Canyon Golf & Country Club (73-71=144), who takes home $1.650. All three make their home in the Kelowna area. The event features the top head professionals, head teaching professionals, and executive professionals in B.C., competing for a piece of the $14,500 purse.

It’s another busy weekend of athletics for UBC Okanagan sports teams. Here’s a look at what’s coming up for the Heat.

MEN’S VOLLEYBALL Three more challenging preseason matches are on tap for the men’s volleyball team this Thanksgiving weekend. Already having battled Argentina this fall, the Heat will play another international match on Thursday night. UBC Okanagan hit the court at the venerable War Memorial versus Fudan University from China. On Friday the Heat will have their first shot at the interschool rival the Thunder-

birds. This game will played off campus at Vancouver Technical Secondary. The last match-up will send the Heat into the lair of the defending national champions, the Trinity Western Spartans. Saturday night the Heat will try and knock off the champs at the Langley Events Centre. The Heat were unable to take a set off the champs when they played in Kelowna last month.

MEN’S RUGBY 7’S The Heat men will play in an invitational tournament at Washington State University in Pullman, WA on Saturday. UBC Okanagan will be one of 16 teams from around the

Pullman area that will participate. UBC Okanagan is in Pool A with Central Washington University, Boise State, and Pacific University. The Heat’s three scheduled games on Saturday. After pool play UBC Okanagan will play at least two other matches and possibly three.

WOMEN’S SOCCER (CCAA ranking: No. 11) The season crossed over the halfway mark last weekend in the home-andhome series with Thompson Rivers, the Heat played the No. 4 ranked WolfPack to consecutive 1-1 draws, and now find themselves in a dogfight

to make the playoffs with just six games left to play. Only the top four squads make the playoffs in the eight-team league, and the Heat hold the fourth and final playoff spot with 11 points due to their (2W-1L-5T) record. However, their hold on the fourth spot is a tenuous one as teams two through seven are separated by a mere five points. The Heat will play on the road for the last time in the regular season when they travel to play Kwantlen and then Douglas College. Saturday the Heat play the third place Kwantlen Eagles (3W-2L3T-12 pts.) at the Newton Athletic Park. The Eagles

handed the Heat their one loss on the year last month.

MEN’S SOCCER

The men’s team will look to their last road trip to notch their first win of the season. The men from UBC Okanagan have yet to win a game this year and have a record of (04-4). The problem for the Heat this year is scoring; the Heat have been unlucky around the goal, scoring only six goals on the year. Two of those six goals were scored in the Heat’s loss to the Douglas Royals when they faced off in See Heat A23

Wind plays a big part in the IGA-Humpbacks game Soccer from A21 Penticton, who won the league title at 20-11, doubled fourth-place Lake Country 4-2 Monday night at Dale Meadows Park in Summerland, while second-place IGA smothered third-place

Leko Precast Camels 4-0 at Beasley Park. The wind in Lake Country played a big part in the IGA-Humpbacks game, blowing strongly from south to north throughout the entire 80 minutes. IGA played against

the strong wind in the first half but still pressured the Camels’ defense with numerous missed chances until Rich Woodhouse converted from a scramble at 30 minutes to make it 1-0 at the half. “For the first 15 minutes, we were all over

them and then they took it to us,” said Camels’ defender Ron Krause. “They outplayed us, they deserved to win. (Keeper Dave) Dutcher kept us in it. He robbed those guys. It could have easily been seven or eight.” With the wind at their

The women’s golf team has won their third tournament in a row and they have a stranglehold on the PACWEST women’s standings. It was first year golfer Jessica Kozak from West Kelowna who co-led the team, placing second overall with a two-day total of 168. Jen Woods also shot a 168. The top shooter for the men was Will Deck, who finished third with a 145 at the Nanaimo Golf & Country Club.

backs, IGA came out strong in the second half and poured on the pressure. A 30-yard screamer for Dante Zanatta at 60 minutes deflated the Camels and then super-sub Steve (ole Gunnar Solskjaer) Heiss entered the game at 70 minutes and converted two chances. His first came from a great combination move with a precise through pass from Geoff Greenwell slicing the Camels’ defence open allowing Tony Gonzales to calmly square the ball for Heiss to rifle it into the top corner

past the helpless Dutcher. Heiss’s second was a simple six-yard tap-in after a great Jimmy Kruiper run to the byline. IGA played well as a team but Donny Brown stood out as the Man of the Match with an incredible workhorse display in the centre midfield “engine room.” Steve Nader played a solid game in net for IGA and his shutout was well earned. In Summerland, Lake Country received a yellow card in the first half but the referee wrote down

the wrong number of the offender. Mike Ley, who scored once, vgot a yellow in the second half, and the ref gave him a red card for a second yellow. “But it was not Mike that got the yellow in the first half so we got a red card when we should not have,” said Lake Country veteran Greg Kilmartin. Steve Cox also scored for the Lakers, while Zeke Peschada connected on a nice free kick around the Lake Country wall for the prettiest Penticton goal. Other United goal scorers were not reported.

Living with an antique cell phone Blessings at Thanksgiving

ithin the first three days of the iPhone 5’s release, over five million people rushed out to get their hands on what Apple deemed “the thinnest, lightest, fastest iPhone ever.” Meanwhile, I have come into possession of an almost antiquated Android phone, which I’m using until my usual phone can be repaired. Of course, when referring to technology today, “antique” is likely to mean anything over a year old, especially if the iPhone 4S can already be considered outdated. But even the phone salesperson apologized for giving me such an archaic piece of technology, explaining to me that it was the only replacement phone they had left. Although I make a conscious effort to not be continually glued to my phone, I had no idea how

CONNECTING WITH YOUTH

Amber Krogel much my day-to-day life would change with its replacement. Being such a primitive device, this temporary phone does not have the capacity for apps, and I am being forced to go without Twitter, Instagram and Facebook unless I am sitting at a computer. I was disappointed at first to learn this would be the case, because as far as serious problems go in our society, this one is pretty high on the list. But my app-less situation has actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Without the distraction of social media, I am finding myself more able to enjoy the moment as it happens, rather than trying to figure out how to translate it into a witty tweet or trendy Instagram photo. I have been surprised at how many little things I appreciate when my attention isn’t completely fixated on smartphone apps. If I’m not busy Instagramming during a show for some of Kelowna’s local bands, I’m more likely to catch that awesome guitar riff. At coffee shops, I can more thoroughly enjoy the book I’m reading instead of pausing to tweet about it. Even when there is no specific activity to fill the phone-less void, it is sometimes nice to just enjoy thinking. It’s rare that we get the chance to simply sit

and think amidst all the business and distractions of our society, and these times are incredibly valuable. But as much as I have enjoyed certain aspects about not having my smartphone, I don’t hold the viewpoint that social media is society’s great evil, sucking our brains dry of their potential. In fact, I have found that Twitter does just the opposite for me. By following the right people, I have immediate access to 140 characters of witty, humourous, or insightful thoughts. Since it’s easier to carry around a phone than a big camera, Instagram has essentially become my photo album. I enjoy looking back through my collection and remembering the experiences behind the photos. Social media is an unavoidable part of our lives, and learning how to use it in a way that enriches our experiences rather than detracting from them is key…of how to find a balance. Amber Krogel is a first year student at UBC Okanagan studying international relations. AmberSKrogel@gmail.com

’m looking forward to this weekend’s celebration of Thanksgiving for a couple of good reasons. First and foremost, Tez and I will have daughter Lisa and granddaughter Taylor joining us this year—which is always a treat. Nothing like a sweet little three-year old to remind you of the simple yet wide-eyed joys of life. As well, Thanksgiving always marks the weekend when I tend to start my major harvesting of the garden. With five raised vegetable beds and a gazillion, potted plants around the yard the harvest should be bountiful. The sweet potatoes, which are not supposed to grow well here, are tasty and bountiful. Last but not least, the turn of the calendar to October and harvesting of the garden reminds me of the change in seasons. As much as I hate to see summer go, I admit there is something very comforting in tucking into the house for a winter of hot chocolate, homemade stews and soups, and the joys of the pending festive season on the horizon. •••

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge Speaking of yummy home cooked type food, Tez and I had a fabulous dining experience Wednesday night downtown. Our new friend, Elie (Eliecer) Marchante, of Virtual British Columbia Tours, invited us to try Cuban food. “It’s just the way it is made back home,” he promised. Now, I admit that when it comes to experimenting with food I am a bit of a wimp, but oh man, am I glad I took a chance. Elie’s friend, Cesar Hernandez, is the owner of Soul de Cuba Cafe, located at 101-1180 Sunset Dr., and without a doubt it is one of Kelowna’s best kept dining secrets. Not having a clue what to order we left Elie in charge, and that proved brilliant. I devoured my Salteado de Res con Vegetales (sirloin steak sautéed in onions and veggies) while Tez moaned

Well seasoned. Well connected. Well established. If there’s a common element between Cuff the Duke and Jenn Grant— other than their booking agent—it’s in their refinement and quest to keep breaking new ground. The indie rock band and solo artist will share the stage for most of a cross-Canada tour, Grant stepping out only for the portion where she has already toured with Kathleen Edwards. Married to Daniel Ledwell, of the Halifax band In-Flight Safety, who produced her new album The Beautiful Wild, Grant credits her time writing with hip hop artist Buck 65 for much of this album’s free-flowing collection. “I felt really excited about the way I would write with him. I would just tune my guitar down, find a sweet spot and go,” she said. “I felt like it was weird that I was writing

that fast but I’ve decided to embrace that.” The Beautiful Wild is what Grant describes as a far more lush production than her last album, Honeymoon Punch, the music laced with sitar, vocals from the Halifax Boys’ Honour Choir and Aaron Goldstein’s Pedal steel guitar—a contribution she won shmoozing backstage at the Junos. Cuff the Duke’s new album, by contrast, centres around one very important song for lead singer/guitar player and writing machine Wayne Petti, who also performs with Blue Rodeo. Produced by Blue Rodeo’s Greg Keelor, the album is the group’s sixth full-length venture and the

Okanagan writer shares his story and photos For the past year, Okanagan horticulturalist and writer Harold Rhenisch has explored the Okanagan and its sister valleys in Washington to find its secrets and to build from them a vision of a new integrated environmental, social and political future. Next Thursday Okanagan Institute Express community discussion series continues with The Spirit of Place: The Explorations of Harold Rhenisch. He will show and tell about his discoveries of and vision for the Okanagan. Rhenisch has blogged his discoveries daily, following social, scientific, historical, artistic and agricultural threads through the land, on his blog okanaganokanogan.com. This journey has taken him throughout the Okanagan, the Kootenays,

Washington, Oregon, Germany, England and Switzerland. He has researched ancient vineyard irrigation and fertilization methods, cutting edge science, the unknown history of Father Pandosy and cutting edge scientific discoveries, in an approach continually driven by the beauty of the region he explores with his camera. This is the Okanagan seen through future eyes, with the deep roots behind

COMMUNITY SOCIAL SERVICES WORKERS ... THE HEART AND SOUL OF OUR COMMUNITIES.

Meet Sheryl. She’s been working in B.C.’s community social services sector for 21 years. She loves her job as a counselor and crisis line worker, and she’s dedicated to the women, youth, and families that she serves every day. But Sheryl, and other community social services workers like her, have witnessed the impacts of BC Liberal

number of people from around the world who have followed his blog for the past year have shared in his journey, day by day. Rhenisch was born three months early, in a blizzard, on Jan. 5, 1958 and grew up on an orchard in Cawston, in the Similkameen Valley, the second son of German immigrant Hans Rhenisch and second generation Canadian Dorothy Leipe. He started writing poetry when he was 15, under dramatist Bill Greenland. From 1976-80 he studied creative writing at the University of Victoria. From 1981-92 Rhenisch worked in the vineyards and orchards of the Okanagan and the Similkameen, eventually running his own pruning, grafting and nursery business. In 1992 he moved to the Cariboo plateau and in 2007 to Campbell River on Northern Vancouver Island. He currently lives in Vernon. Rhenisch’s poetry explores the land on which he lives and where he grew up in an immigrant culture developing orchards and vineyards in the fertile Okanagan Valley. In the juxtaposition of new European cultures

and an ancient land, Rhenisch sees again the Kenya of the 1920s as portrayed by Karen Blixen in Out of Africa. After waiting in vain for a V.S. Naipaul to write of the colonial plantation cultures of the Okanagan, Rhenisch turned his sense of the land into a vehicle capable of speaking for a complex contemporary world: the autobiographical fiction of Out of the Interior: The Lost Country. For over 30 years, Rhenisch has striven to create an authentic literature for the silent rural parts of Canada, to place their images and dialects on an equal footing with those of the modern urban world. At the same time, he has been a student of Ezra Pound, post-modern German literature and trickster mythology. For Rhenisch, the work of starting a new literature is paramount, centred in the workings of consciousness and mythology. Come for the best of Rhenisch’s photos and hear him set out his program for the future. Rhenisch is at the Bohemian Cafe, 524 Bernard Ave. on Thursday, Oct. 11 at 5 p.m.

Michigan’s Upper Peninsula evokes Jim Harrison novels Gary Porter CONTRIBUTOR

GRAND MARAIS, Mich.—I’m sitting in the Voyageurs Motel looking out over West Bay at Grand Marais, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The light is dwindling.

Fresh from a meal of poached whitefish at the Dunes Saloon, it feels like the perfect time to begin this story. The breeze is gone, except for the fan in the corner, but the setting sun striking the clouds resonates with the evoca-

tive writing of one of my favorite authors, Jim Harrison. Ever since Harrison’s novella The Woman Lit by Fireflies crossed my path about 25 years ago, I’ve read everything by him I can get my hands on. (He’s published more

than 30 books of poetry, fiction and nonfiction.) Harrison’s descriptions and insights cut to the bone with the sparseness of Hemingway, to whom he is often compared, although he professes not to be a fan. He writes from the ex-

pansiveness of locations such as the Upper Peninsula, and the far southwestern desert near Patagonia, Ariz. Places as big and open as his vision. Tomorrow, I’ll go out with an old hunting and fishing buddy of Harrison, Mike Ballard, a big, burly

bear of a man, who lives on 40 acres outside of Grand Marais. Mike recalls with fondness the days when Harrison would stay at his little cabin near the Sucker River to retreat, often to write and enjoy the wilderness of the Upper Peninsula. Ballard looked out

for the place when Harrison was gone. I was privileged to visit the cabin, a location that is kept relatively quiet around here by the locals. Harrison sold the cabin

TRAVEL Grand Marais A28 in the early 2000s when he and his wife, Linda, moved to Livingston, Mont., to be closer to their daughters. Ballard says he knew Harrison before he became well known as an author and thinks of him as â€œjust Jim, a real good human being, who would give you his last nickel if you needed it.â€? Ballard is the inspiration for several characters in Harrisonâ€™s novels, although Ballard says he doesnâ€™t really like that because heâ€™s always the bad guy, which he doesnâ€™t come across as to me. In one novel he is portrayed as a lousy ship captain who drowned his whole crew on Lake Superior, and threw a man through a plate-glass window. In â€œTrue Northâ€? he is transformed into the character of Mick, David Burketteâ€™s hunting and fishing buddy, an honest, straightforward friend who owns the Dunes Saloon, although he doesnâ€™t anymore. Harrison lived for years on a farm with his family on the Leelenau Peninsula near Traverse City in northern Michigan, but he purchased his remote cabin near Grand Marais in the UP with an early royalty check. It reminded him of the cabin where he grew up as a child, with the love of fishing, hunting and roaming the expanses of forest. After years of eking out a meager living as a writer, he was noticed by Hollywood and began writing screenplays

from some of his novels and novellas, including â€œLegends of the Fall,â€? starring Brad Pitt; â€œWolf,â€? with Jack Nicholson; and â€œA Good Day to Die.â€? Harrison spent a decade back and forth between Michigan and Hollywood, until he finally decided, as he puts it, that the greed wasnâ€™t worth it. Many of his books come at the same characters from different directions. His descriptions of the Upper Peninsula made me want to come here and see some of the places that inhabit his writing for myself. â€œThe Upper Peninsula has been pretty much ignored by the rest of the

culture and consequently was free to evolve into its own,â€? Harrison wrote me in a note forwarded by his secretary. â€œThis is wonderful for a fiction writer, as most areas of the U.S. have been flagged to death and are mere shreds of the dominant super-culture.â€? While visiting Marquette, Mich., recently, I got some insights into Harrisonâ€™s writing by talking with writer John Smolens, also a friend of the

author. â€œHe writes the way he talks,â€? Smolens said. â€œHe has such a vigorous mind, he canâ€™t sit still.â€? â€œHis prose has a lot of jazz in it.â€? Then he ruminates: â€œMaybe thatâ€™s why heâ€™s so big in France.â€? Smolens was partially responsible for having a suite at the Landmark Hotel (Harrisonâ€™s favorite hotel in Marquette) named after Harrison. The Jim Harrison Suite is where Harrison

stays when heâ€™s in town and has copies of several of his books and other memorabilia. When Harrison learned of the suiteâ€™s name, Smolens said he asked, â€œHow you gonna decorate it, with a bunch of empty wine bottles and cigarette butts?â€? Ballard took me on a tour around the areas south of Grand Marais where he and Harrison used to roam.

in the UP. Harrison loved to walk for hours on the Kingston Plains to clear his mind. Ballard also took me to an area known as the “Whitewash,” where an old whitewashed lumbering lodge used to stand. There he showed me the biggest old growth white pine stump I’ve ever seen, nestled in a gully. Big enough to crawl inside, like some of Harrison’s character do. Although Harrison’s writings cover the expanse of the Upper Peninsula and northern Michigan, I concentrated on the stretch from Big Bay, a little west of Marquette where the Yellow Dog River flows into Lake Superior, and on along the Lake Superior shoreline east to Grand Marais, where Harrison’s beloved cabin is located. Seeing his cabin on the Sucker River was a rare privilege. I pictured him writing at his table by the window that looks out over a horseshoe bend of the pristine trout stream, where he used to fish and swim. Ballard said he would often find him there sitting in a chair, chest deep in the water, just thinking and enjoying it all. Ballard tells the story of one time they were out

hunting and Ballard shot a bird that fell on the other side of the river but the bird dog didnâ€™t want to go across. Ballard began taking off his clothes to fetch it himself. When Harrison saw him, he asked what the

heck he was doing, and just plunged across the chest-deep river fully dressed, brought the bird back, and continued hunting soaking wet for the rest of the day. Ballard also tells a couple of funny oneeyed stories, about how Harrison would sometimes bump into trees on

his left side while walking through the woods because he was blind on that side from a childhood injury. According to one account in The Raw and the Cooked, he was poked in the eye with a broken bottle by a 7-year-old girl while playing doctor as a young boy.

MOTORING ▼ LOOK TO THE FUTURE

Imagination shines at Paris Motor Show Jim Robinson METROLAND MEDIA

Concept cars have always been a reason for attending the Paris Motor Show. While many are truly Gallic flights of fancy, several pointed the way to upcoming cars and trucks coming in the not too distant future. McLaren used its firstever international motor show appearance to preview its next generation ultimate supercar ≠ the McLaren P1. The McLaren P1 was previewed as a design study. Within a year a production version will be on sale. The McLaren P1 leverages five decades of McLaren’s motorsport skills. It was designed from the outset to prioritize aerodynamic performance and spent many

MOTORING

AMERICAN High Voltage Buggy (clockwise from top left), Ferrari F12berlinetta, Infiniti LE Concept, Nissan Juke Nismo, Smart forstars Concept, MINI John Cooper Works GP.

Concepts from B1 all-electric mode. Honda showed the EV-STER, an electric rear-wheel-drive two-seater convertible sports car that suggests a new way to enjoy a sports car that is unique to the electric vehicles. The adoption of carbon materials throughout the EV-STER made it possible to reduce the vehicle weight delivering high performance driving and an extensive range of approximately 99 miles. The easy-to-operate twin-lever steering system was adopted in the pursuit of the joy of driving. Moreover, this concept model enables the driver to make adjustments to many of the vehicle characteristics such as motor output and suspension settings. The Lexus LF-CC is a new mid-size coupe concept that presents design and technology ideas that will influence future models. It follows on from the award-winning LF-LC 2+2 sports coupe concept which debuted at the Detroit show earlier this year as a more compact model with rear-wheel drive and full hybrid power. The Nissan TeRRA SUV concept features an innovative 4x4 fuel-cell electric powertrain and an athletic exterior that has presence beyond its compact dimensions. Powering the front wheels is the electric propulsion system currently featured in the Nissan LEAF. The electrically driven smart forstars is an

SUC (Sports Utility Coupe) with room for two people and plenty of stowage space. Its name is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the glass dome above the passengers that gives a clear view of the starry sky. Suzuki debuted the CCross concept that gives a pretty good look at how its next entry into the compact CUV segment will look. The new model heralded by the C-Cross will mark Suzuki’s full-scale entry into the market for C-segment crossovers. The new vehicle’s fea-

tures and functions will be designed primarily for comfort. BMW showed the interesting Concept Active Tourer, a CUV hybrid with a 220-volt lithium-ion battery, two motors and a three-cylinder, 1.5-litre TwinPower turbo gasoline engine that is effectively one-half of the standard 3.0-litre V6 TwinPower engine used in a number of BMWs. BMW was estimating fuel consumption of 2.5L/100 km and 60 grams of CO2 and range of 30 km on the battery alone.

In Memoriam

WEBB, WILBERT ERLAND May 25, 1932 ~ September 6, 2012 “Those whom we have loved never really leave us. They live on forever in our hearts and cast their radiant light on our every shadow.” It is with heartfelt sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Wilbert, age 80 years on September 6, 2012 at Vernon Jubilee Hospital, Vernon BC. Wilbert was the eldest in a family of six. As a young lad, he helped his father with farming. He particularly enjoyed operating the tractors and maintaining machinery. He worked long hours on the land doing the seeding and harvesting in Autumn. At age 21, he ventured into a lifelong occupation of owning heavy equipment machinery and successfully tackling some innovative and challenging projects in Sask. and BC. For a short time he worked with his brother, Robert. He had a unique ability to visualize the project outcome prior to it being started. This passion for the work produced high accuracy and competency for completing the job. Moving with his young family in 1971 to Kelowna, B.C. he continued to work doing road construction with the City of Kelowna and Ministry of Highways until retirement. He had a life long passion for music, particularly western and old time. He was ﬂuent with the accordion, guitar and violin. Wilbert was predeceased by his parents, George and Daisy Webb, brother Robert and two nephews. He is survived by his loving wife, Gail, and their three children, Tracey (Frank Marhoffer), Lana (Darin Ingram), Neil (Irina) Webb and four grandchildren. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him. No service by request. Cremation. Donations can be made to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital Foundation in Wilbert’s name.

Keeping the do-it-yourselfers safe Mary Breckenridge CONTRIBUTOR

Bob Campbell has done his own concrete work for years. So the Akron, Ohio, do-ityourselfer never thought twice about laying the concrete foundation for his new carport. Until he got into the shower afterward, and the skin on his knees came off. Campbell’s skin had come into contact with lime from the cement portion of the concrete. When alkaline compounds get moist from water or sweat, the reaction can eat away at skin and other tissue. It had never happened to Campbell before, so he didn’t know about the potential danger. And because he didn’t know about the danger, he didn’t read the warning on the bill of sale he got from the company that delivered the concrete. A month after the accident, Campbell’s wounds have healed with no long-term damage. But

CONTRIBUTED

BOB CAMPBELL’S knees were burned when he laid the concrete floor for his carport and didn’t realize that chemicals in the concrete were caustic. he wanted other homeowners to know about the hazard in the hope of sparing someone else. That’s the thing about do-it-yourselfers: It’s not uncommon for handy types to plunge into projects with more confidence than know-how. And sometimes that can-do cavalierness

can have painful consequences. Accidents from projects around the house send thousands of do-ityourselfers to emergency rooms each year. For example, in 2010, lawn mowers sent an estimated 89,518 people for treatment in the United States; home work-

shop power saws, 80,688 people; and workshop manual tools, 131,762 people, according to the most recent figures available from the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Not all accidents are preventable, of course. But in many cases, some simple precautions can save us from ourselves. 1) Don’t take any project lightly. Even something as simple as changing a light bulb can have potential danger. Screw in a bulb that uses more watts than a socket is rated for, and heat can build up over time, he noted. That can damage the socket, the wires in the fixture or even the wiring in the wall, possibly sparking a fire. His point: Lose the Ican-accomplish-anything arrogance and humble yourself enough to find out what you’re getting into. 2) Slow down. We’re busy. We don’t like spending precious time on nagging projects

THE WESTBANK LIONS CLUB has made a $2,000 donation to Habitat For Humanity Kelowna. Lions Club president Rick Hebner recently presented the cheque to Lona Manning, executive director of Habitat For Humanity Kelowna.

Take the time to make sure you’re prepared, she said. Read all the instructions. Assemble the equipment you’ll need. And give yourself time to do the job properly and safely. 3) Wear the right

gear. Safety glasses are a must if you’re working with any tool or in any situation that might lead to eye injury. Bits of material can fly up when you’re drilling, sawing or hammering. Branches can poke your eyes. Use ladders wisely.

Ladder accidents account for more than 200,000 emergency room trips a year in the U.S. Long extension ladders aren’t the only culprits. Stepladders and step stools can also be dangerous. The basic rule he cites is “one step at a time, two hands at a time.”

Fraud protection for lenders, homeowners Incidents of real estate title fraud are increasing in Canada as homeowners and lenders are proving to be attractive targets for fraud artists. The role of legal professionals and title insurance companies has become even more critical in the fight to detect and prevent title fraud. Homeowners and lenders can protect themselves by obtaining a title insurance policy through either First Canadian Title or Stewart Title. The coverage provided in residential title insurance policies helps protect both the innocent homeowners and lenders who might otherwise face huge financial losses resulting from title fraud. Legal ownership in property is evidenced by the title to the property being placed into your name. The government land registration records will reflect you as the owner and anyone searching those records will also recognize

you as the owner. You should protect that ownership and therefore, protect one of your most prized assets—your home. Typical examples of real estate fraud include: 1) A fraud artist steals the identity of the legitimate owner of the property. 2) The fraud artist sells the property to an unsuspecting purchaser who also obtains mortgage financing. 3) The unsuspecting purchaser either moves in or attempts to move into the property. 4) The legitimate owner is faced with defending his/her interest in the property, including evicting the unsuspecting purchaser, and having their title subject to any mortgages, the unsuspecting purchaser has put on the title. Other areas open to fraudsters include survey coverage; septic systems; fraud, forgery, impersonation, duress and mental incompetence; encroachment; liens

on title; and others claiming a legal interest in title. Thieves often target properties that are mortgage free and the owners have a good credit rating. This allows them to apply for a significant mortgage. Generally, the losses to homeowners can be catastrophic, having to spend thousands of dollars in legal fees to defend their title, while lenders often losw the full amount of fraudulent mortgage application. Although it’s difficult to pinpoint an exact number, it has been suggested that mortgage fraud amounts to $1.5 billion a year across Canada. Most lending institutions now require title insurance upon registration of your mortgage with the lawyer/notary for either purchasing or refinancing your home. This requirement is to protect the lender in the event of real estate fraud. It would be prudent to have a separate policy to protect yourself in the case of any of the above fraudulent acts.

Should you already have a mortgage in place on your home, and not have title insurance to protect yourself, it’s not too late to do so. All you have to do is contact your lawyer/notary and they will be able to help you. They will be able to explain what it covers so you fully understand the benefits of title insurance. The cost is actually inexpensive when you look at the overall protection to one of your most valued assets. After all, you insure your life to protect your family so why not insure your home to protect you from losing the precious equity you have.

and jewelry, a few shelves for shoes and even a curtain rod to hang scarves, anyone can maximize their closet space, said Ciurca-Weiner. “It’s very important to create closet and drawer space,” she said. “You must utilize every space. You have to have a need for each space.”

AN ORGANIZED CLOSET

Every women’s closet should contain these items, according to Karen Ciurca-Weiner. • White shirt: A fitted clean, crisp white shirt is a must. • Boyfriend blazer: Everyone should own a black or white “go-to” jacket. • Belt: A belt that is the right length—preferably black patent leather—completes any wardrobe. • Nude-coloured shoes (taupe or beige): They go with everything. • Little black dress: It’s a no-brainer. • Ruffled blouse: It’s timeless. Things to throw out: Our experts have no problem getting rid of items— especially when the threads have seen better days. Things that don’t fit and stained clothes: “No matter what you paid, it had its day. It’s over,” Ciurca-Wiener said. Outdated clothes: “I don’t care what you paid for it, you really think it will come back, but it’s like an old boyfriend: Even when it comes back, it’s never the same.”

Organize your closet to help your wallet John Williams CONTRIBUTOR

After years of watching Lynn Weisberg purchase garment after garment, boutique manager Karen Ciurca-Weiner finally told her loyal customer a hard truth—she needed to stop buying and start looking at what she had. Ciurca-Weiner suggested that what Weisberg really needed was to organize her closet. “She kept buying all these clothes,” CiurcaWeiner said as she stood inside her client’s closet, a 9-by-12-foot converted office space that now has shelving and drawers to accommodate Weisberg’s clothes. “I told her to stop buying items and make outfits out of clothes” she already had.

Since their initial session five years ago, the two have come together twice a year to organize Weisberg’s clothes—once at the beginning of spring and once at the beginning of fall. The nearly four-hour sessions allow Weisberg to maximize her closet space while planning her outfits for the upcoming season. “She cleans out and refreshes my closet every season,” Weisberg said about Ciurca-Weiner. “It’s a time-saver and a huge money-saver.” More and more people are seeking the help of closet organizers to create order and save money, according to experts. In addition to purging closets of space-eating out-of-date garments, the experts are using their knowledge to identify hid-

the home, according to Ciurca-Weiner, who works at women’s clothing boutique in Baltimore, Maryland. “The biggest problem

is that people don’t know how to utilize their space,” she said. “They don’t have enough cube space. And they don’t stack things

such as sweaters.” You don’t have to have a lavish “Sex And The City”-type closet to use the services and suggestions of a closet organizer,

Rumours still exist of this “fearful bubble” bursting, the constant worry of when mortgages rates will spike and conflicting reports from economists have allowed for buyers to put a hold on their house hunting search as September stats have shown. What is a ‘tried and true’ method is that over the long-term, however, is that real estate is a safe and secure option for financial growth as long as buyers don’t over extend themselves with large mortgages and do their due diligence when purchasing a property. Some homeowners may also see this opportunity as well to keep their property on the market with less com-

peting properties listed throughout the winter months. If interest rates remaining low for the unforeseeable future, this might entice some anxious buyers to walk right through the homeowner’s front door. If both parties don’t allow for the traverse reports and whispers of rumours to affect their judgment about buying or selling a property, it can result in a positive win-win situation for everyone.
