here are business incubators and technology incubators and technology-focused business incubators. Silicon Valley and Stanford University are courting a dalliance with hatching ideas so strong the New Yorker suggests the ivy league school is simply a haven for investment mavens—with a football team. And in the arts, creative incubators are no less prolific, spreading creative process and thought across Europe and merging the artist collective concept with more directed, methodical feedback. This week, the Capital News looks at a local effort, as the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art takes its programming in a new direction. See story page A3

THIS X-MEN inspired multimedia collage is a step in a new direction for artist Jordan Lige who started in a similar vein on his walls, and still favours strong primary tones of red and blue.

Incubator concept fostering new creative artistic expression ONE11 ZINE artists Lucas Glenn (front left), Brit Bachmann (back left), Corie Waugh (back right) and Jeff Ellom (front right) show off an issue of the masterpiece that took their work international. JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

Jennifer Smith

STAFF REPORTER

“

Honestly, we wanted to find a ‘concept’ because we had so many artists whose art forms fit really well into book format,” says Lucas Glenn, one of four Studio One11 zine students. The group spent the better part of a year working out of studio 111 in the Rotary Centre for the Arts, a space operated by the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art and used to host its new co-op program. As the first applicants selected to use the space as a co-op, four young students began developing their creative voice by published a zine. A zine is a handmade magazine, part of a long-standing do-it-yourself tradition of skipping formal publishing filters by using basic technology, like photocopiers, to speak directly to an audience. One of the artists, Brit Bachmann, took the opportunity to explore continuous line drawings. She’s the art manager for the Keloha Music and Art Festival this year and is honing her continuous contour line-drawings to develop her

own niche in the art world. Jeff Ellom, a writer, science student and reportedly the janitor at the Rotary centre, continues to produce the zine, though their stint incubating the idea has ended. Glenn is now working for the Alternator after spending the winter working on his typography skills in the zine en route to a career in fine book publishing. As for their product, a little zine named One11 (because the strongest uniting concept they came up with was the fact they were given the studio 111 space to develop creatively),

it became a story in and of itself—and an international one at that. “We expected the zines to go out into Kelowna, to introduce some new ideas to people who might not otherwise come across them or to trigger curiosity or stimulate questions in people who might not have come across zines in the past,” said Lorna McParland, artistic and administrative director of the Alternator. “But really, they were extremely proactive in tapping into the zine culture around the world.” The group staged the first

annual End-of-the-World Zine Fair at Milkcrate Records and exchanged work internationally with other zine artists. They packed the small studio for launch parties, offering local musicians a stage and artists a place to come see new work, talk about it, talk about their own work and, in short, strengthen the fabric of Kelowna’s creative community. And they ultimately added a taste for new art forms in Kelowna while honing their own creative voices, well exceeded the Alternator Centre’s hopes when it created this new co-op program to sponsor artists by

providing a public work space. The co-op program is essentially an artistic incubator. “It’s great to create in your home or in your studio, but to present it out there and to get constructive feedback from your peers, can really change your progress and the direction that you take your different projects in,” said McParland. “That can be intimidating and it frequently is, but it’s a really important part of the creative process.” The gallery is hoping that by giving artists the space to develop ideas, it will ultimately lead more local artists to sub-

mit to its public programming, stacking up against the international artists. More generally, the aim of the Alternator is really to foster an active creative community—opening up the space for artists to work and interact with other working artists should prove an incredible resource. “Sometimes fostering creative community means finding similarities in different people’s practice that they might think don’t exist. “I think the term is ‘strategic essentialism,’ when you focus on the things that you do have in common or your shared goals, rather than focusing on what you don’t have in common,” explained McParland. It’s exactly how Cool Arts, the next occupant of the co-op studio, already operates. Cools Arts helps foster creative development for people with diverse abilities. Their artists might be autistic or have a development disorder, but it is not an art therapy program. It is a non-profit society focused on developing the creative pro-

CLOSE-UP ▼ INCUBATING CREATIVITY

Engaging Kelowna’s creative community out of isolation Expression from A3 cess for the individuals who participate, regardless of their differences or unique abilities. The group is lead by champions like Sara Lige, the mother of one of the artists who did a master’s degree on diverse abilities and the creative process, and has exhibited in the Kelowna Art Gallery to one of its larger opening night crowds. They developed a room in Mad Hatter 2013, a community installation art exhibit held in an empty commercial space on Harvey Avenue last month, and are routine contributors to art scene staples like the Conduit Festival. Their artists sell. Jordan Lige, Sara’s son, is now in his 30s, has worked with the group for 10 years and is a regular contributor to shows like the Lake Country Art Walk. His ninja birds, country cottages and superhero collages are bright, whimsical and focus squarely on the freeing kind of fantasy many artists strive for but never achieve. He started working on the walls of his bedroom, applying vast collages.

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

JORDAN LIGE holds an acrylic painting he’s done of

trees, while explaining that his country cottages are really the big hit. “It was pretty crazy,” said Lige. He’s a die-hard X-Men fan and loves primary colours like red

and blue. From the brilliantly coloured canvases he’s currently creating, one can imagine four walls with the intensity

of his work would definitely produce a zany-feeling room. Cool Arts helps him make his work portable (on canvas) and it will likely work well in the front window of the Alternator where, as part of the co-op opportunity, several Cool Arts artists will do a commissioned work. The coop program is a direct result of the provincial gaming funding cuts. Just last week, the centre found out it will receive the gaming funds once more—a full 30 per cent boost to its current budget. Since the 2007 cuts, times have been lean. Years of sponsoring an artist-in-residency program that brought contemporary artists in from all over the world ended when the Liberal government tightened the pursue strings in the lead-up to the Olympics, castrating many artist-focused centres. Nevertheless, it did make room for new ideas. “We had limited staff resources, but we did have space. So for us, it was really about looking at ways we could best use our space, not only to serve the Alternator, but to do community outreach.”

The centre quickly developed a member’s only exhibit program, curated by volunteers and operating 365-days-per-year to give members, primarily up-and-comers, a chance to exhibit publicly. They also created the co-op program in 2012 with an eye to offering those who need work space a guided spot. “We were looking for ways to increase the community engagement in arts and creativity,” said McParland. “…I think Kelowna has a very active creative community, but I think we also have a habit of isolating ourselves sometimes or working in smaller groups quite isolated from each other.” Cool Arts is looking for two things from the space. Executive director and artist Rena Warren says they need a permanent home for its artists to drop in and work, store work and access supplies. The society is also looking to help foster

KELOWNA

opportunities for its artists to work, whether for money or simply to be part of the larger world of practicing artists. “Some people have made a choice to practice their art and we are here to support them in that choice,” Warren explained. The group has just received a new funding stream from the B.C. Arts Council for professional development and they’ll be bringing in a stream of working artists from bloggers to photographers to introduce new skills. By fall, they will put out a publication to encapsulate a taste of what Cool Arts’ first decade in operation has brought to Kelowna and to the artists who work under the Cool Arts umbrella. Around the world, places like the Nina Haggerty Centre for the Arts in Edmonton or Art Spider, operated by Mencap in the United Kingdom, help mentor and support artists with diverse abilities. Warren envisions

MAY31

an open studio program developing somewhere permanent—preferably with a kiln or maybe an on-site press—in the future. For now, abandoning the logistics of moving from classroom space to rental storage, as they have done for a decade, should offer the kind of intellectual reprieve needed for both the Cool Arts artists and directors to get creative with their future. As of their grand opening this week, Cool Arts will be incubating ideas in studio 111 of the Rotary Centre for the Arts. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

B.C. premier Bill Bennett. Bennett joined then premier Gordon Campbell and the pair led a large crowd across the westbound lanes, from Kelowna to West Kelowna, to celebrate the opening of the $144 million structure. Sixteen days later, on May 31, the two eastbound lanes of the new bridge were opened and work started on the dismantling of the nearby 52-year-old Okanagan Lake Floating Bridge, which the new bridge replaced. “It was a great job, I’ll always remember it,” said Kevin Hamakawa, who served as a marine superintendent during the three years of construction of the W. R. Bennett Bridge and who now is in charge of maintenance and operations. “It was a really wellrun job and, right from the beginning, there was a real team environment among the workers.” The new bridge, long-

sought and anticipated by locals, was built as a pubic-private partnership by a consortium selected by the province to design and build it and then maintain and operate it for the next 30 years. Over that time frame, the government said it expected to pay the consortium, led by SNCLavalin, a total of $179 million, $20 million less than the estimated cost of building the bridge itself. Using more than 300 workers in total—all of whom are named on a large plaque at the east end of the bridge—the consortium called W R Bennett Bridge Group, now known as Protrans— completed the work 108 days ahead of schedule and on budget. Sections of the bridge were built at a specially constructed graving yard near Bear Creek on the west side of the lake and floated into position when complete. Much of the work was done by local companies

Two now former premiers (top photo), Gordon Campbell (right) and Bill Bennett, led the pedestrian procession across the new bridge five years ago this month. which were hired to do individual parts of the construction work. The Liberal government of the day had revived the bridge project in 2005 after shelving it four years earlier when it came to power in 2001. After winning the 2001 election, it put all major government infrastructure projects in B.C. on hold. The previous NDP government had also promised a new bridge but would only put up $100 million of the then estimated $120 million cost. It said Kelowna had to come up with the remain-

ing $20 million if it wanted a new bridge built. The city balked. For years the old metal and concrete floating bridge that the new structure replaced, complete with a lift span, was an iconic symbol of Kelowna and, like its successor, served as the only bridge crossing on Okanagan Lake. To replace the highlevel access point for boats provided by the liftspan, the new bridge included a high-level arch at the west end. But it had its own controversy. The elevation could

have been lowered by several metres to save millions of dollars in construction costs but a handful of sailboat owners objected and the Canadian Coast Guard, which had to sign off on the deal, sided with the boat owners. Build it 1958 and opened by Princess Margaret and Bennett’s father, long-time B.C. premier WAC Bennett, the threelane floating bridge was slated for replacement after cost estimates for its annual upkeep proved more expensive in the long-term than building a new, wider bridge to handle the growing volume of traffic using the bridge. The Bennett Bridge was designed to handle 80,000 vehicles per day and when it replaced the old Okanagan Lake Floating Bridge, there were already and estimated 50,000 vehicles crossing the lake each day. The old bridge had been designed to handle just 38,000 vehicles per day. Part of the government’s annual payments to Protrans are based on keeping traffic flowing across the bridge. As part of the bridge project, improvements were also made to Highway 97 on both sides of the lake, including the most recent, and separate, $45-million Westside Road overpass project.

Help a trail by taking a hike to raise money Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Everyone is invited to go on a hike Sunday—easy, intermediate or challenging—and raise money for the Gellatly Bay Trails and Parks Society at the same time. All of the proceeds of the 16th annual March for Parks will go toward maintenance of West Kelowna trails, and hikers may donate what they wish for the hike, with donations over $20 eligible for a tax deductible receipt. John Reddick, president of the GBTAPS, says hikers on the intermediate hike will even get

a chance to put their feet on part of the most-recently announced purchase of parkland in this region, a connection along Powers Creek that adds to Glen Canyon Regional Park. All hikes begin at the Gellatly Nut Farm, with registration at 8 a.m., a brief annual general meeting of the society at 8:30 a.m. and hikes to begin at 9:30 a.m. Hikers are advised to bring a water bottle, hiking stick and walking shoes, not sandals. Everyone must sign a waiver to participate, and those under the age of 18 must have the form signed by a parent or guardian. For details, and the

form, go to the website at: www.westsidetrails.ca This year’s challenging hike will involve carpooling from the park to Summerland to meet at the IOOF Hall on Main Street where there’s a mural of the Okanagan Brigade Trail on the side of the building.

Put more play in your day! Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Last December, Kyle Hamilton and other Central School teachers began discussing ways to engage their students beyond standard teaching practices. “A lot of our students suffer from attention deficit issues and a lot of them are at-risk and have a hard time sitting in a classroom, doing bookwork,” said Hamilton. “We were looking for ways outside of the traditional methods to get them outside, connecting with nature.” They decided growing a school garden would be a good way for the students to learn, stay physically active and have something to take ownership of. Construction began on eight raised garden beds in March and now corn, carrots, beans, radishes, strawberries, romaine lettuce and various herbs are growing in the schoolyard. Hamilton said the project has been positive, but not seamless. “Like any project, we’ve had some hurdles,” said Hamilton, not-

ing persistent absences have led some students to miss certain parts of the project. “But for the most part, we’ve seen a lot of participation…the kids are learning.” Fifteen-year-old Central School student Landon Markosky said he would rather spend time getting his hands dirty in the garden than sitting in a classroom while learning from a textbook. “This is a lot better because you can actually get outside and be interactive,” said Markosky. Ryan Witty, 16, said shovelling dirt and bark mulch was hard labour, but he still enjoyed it. “If I had a choice between doing math or picking up a shovel, I’d pick up a shovel,” said Witty. According to Hamilton, each phase of the garden project has offered a unique learning angle. Students in woodworking class got involved by constructing the raised garden beds; horticulture class pupils participated in the planting of the garden; kids in foods class will eventually be able to cook with some of the herbs and vegetables grown in the schoolyard.

Hamilton added the growing process has a science element, math was involved in construction of the garden and students got physical exercise by shovelling truckloads of dirt and bark mulch. Central School teacher Rob Law said there are several goals he hopes the garden project will help students achieve. “We’re hoping the project will help our students with life skills such as leadership, teamwork and effective communication,” said Law. “Another goal is to encourage our increasingly technology-addicted students to unplug and begin appreciating nature through spending time outdoors.” Law noted the garden project may also change preconceived ideas the public may have about the school and its students. “The example we (want to) set for the community is that Central is not a school where kids just hang out on the sidewalk and do what they like. “This shows we care about the kids and the kids care about something as well.”

Parks as green places must be respected P TRAIL MIX

Judie Steeves needed. They contribute immeasurably to the quality of life for all who live in or visit downtown areas and in that way they give back huge economic returns in both human health and property values for owners living in proximity to parks. Waterfront parks provide even more value, along with access to the enjoyment of water and shorelines for everyone, rich or poor. Kelowna’s City Park is just such a valuable green space in the middle of a bustling downtown area that is otherwise carpeted in blacktop and populated with concrete and glass buildings. The occasional street tree and

hanging basket of flowers are the only reminders of past glory for such commercial areas. Never again will they grow a carpet of wildflowers and wild grasses or provide adequate habitat for the wildlife that once called it home. The City of Kelowna has embarked on a process to re-design City Park, with a variety of options thrown out to citizens to consider including, removing or altering within it. However, the city fathers have tasked those coordinating the re-design to include a building within the park, both for practical reasons, to provide a supervised place for washrooms that could service the downtown as well as the park, and also to provide some other public services. On the whole, I can’t disagree with that, particularly if you take into account there’s almost always been a building in City Park, but the last one

burned down, after being inadequately used for a number of years in any case. However, I have been disappointed to see an erosion of the quality green space in City Park by incursions such as the approach to the new bridge, loss of large trees to poor health or accident in the park, and to facilities which require a ‘hardscape’ instead of living things like grass or plants. Project manager Patrick McCormick at the city says a facility for Tourism Kelowna staff and the information centre (currently sharing space with the Chamber of Commerce on Harvey Avenue) will be included in the plans, at the direction of council. Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray explains the city has been on the lookout for a better site for a new, iconic, attractive tourist information centre for Tourism Kelowna for several years, and there would not be a land cost if

it is in the park. He hastens to explain it’s only an idea still, but the thought is to locate it on Abbott Street near Bernard Avenue where year-round public washrooms could service those using the downtown area as well as the park; and where there will be a piazza-type, pedestrian-oriented space. Nancy Cameron, CEO of Tourism Kelowna, explained with today’s technology, visitors can get directions from their GPS, plus other information from it and hand-held devices, so a visitor centre needs to encourage people to stop. It should be located where visitors

However, at present there are no suitable places for RVs to park near downtown Kelowna, and often our tourists will be driving big rigs. They probably have money to spend too. Perhaps that’s something we should turn our attention to, instead of destroying City Park to accommodate those visitors. Judie Steeves writes about outdoors issues for the Capital News.

arks are special places. They encourage you to get outside and pay attention to your surroundings: the natural environment— which alone is good for your health. But as well, they conserve natural habitat for insects, plants, birds, wildlife and often fish as well. Sometimes, they’re not about wild places, but are maintained as green and treed areas for recreation: active ones for games and passive for walking and finding peace. Generally, you don’t find as many parks or as large parks the closer you get to well-developed downtown areas, where property simply becomes too expensive to protect without any visible economic returns and the pressure on land becomes difficult or impossible for public authorities to withstand. Yet, that’s where such parcels of green are most

Open letter to the City of Kelowna: I just returned from a stroll down the beaches south of our (W.R. Bennett) bridge. To my dismay, year after year the beach looks like a horrible mess of broken glass, garbage and debris interrupted by a marginal cleanup where the public beach access is. I do side with the waterfront homeowners who, while paying excessively high property taxes, don’t bother to clean up this mess since the first 15 feet or so from the shorelines belongs to the public anyway. However, I personally could not stand this heap of garbage laying around the whole summer in front of my house. Being born in Austria, we were brought up to be tidy. Hello, City Hall. Tourist beach season has begun. But I don’t want our city councillors to spend any more of our hard earned tax money on $60 per hour union workers

Polarized politics a costly system for the province

ne benefit of the surprising fourth term for the B.C. Liberal Party is that the provincial government won’t be subjected to another big, expensive ideological remake. Taxpayers are spared a bill of millions in severance pay for deputy ministers and other senior staff who would be purged in large numbers in the left-right lurch that has defined B.C. politics for a generation. BC Ferries will continue as an arms-length operation, with ferry commissioner Gord Macatee in charge of service levels as well as fare caps. The service rationalization the government set out in the past year will continue. The NDP platform vowed to “pos-

ition BC Ferries as an integral part of B.C.’s transportation infrastructure.” Freely translated, that means “suck BC Ferries back into government,” as one of Tom their strident supporters Fletcher likes to say. That would conceal the growth of the subsidy and facilitate the kind of political and union interference that resulted in the current structure. There will be no $10-million rehash of the BC Rail sale and subsequent seven-year trial, to enrich elite lawyers once again. The NDP promised an inquiry for strictly political reasons, to drag their opponents through the scandal one more time. It was not a prelude to “na-

VICTORIA VIEWS

tionalizing” the province’s train service, dream scenarios of the NDP provincial council notwithstanding. Costly legal confrontations over development projects have been avoided. The Jumbo Glacier Resort proponents finally won a 20-year fight for permits, and the NDP promised to take them away. A larger ideological battle over private power contracts has also been avoided. The B.C. Liberals have been caught by a sudden shift in power markets caused by cheap, abundant natural gas, but the billions in commitments to independent power producers isn’t the fiasco that critics have described. If all those privately developed runof-river hydro projects were owned and operated by BC Hydro, the Crown corporation would have to staff them and maintain them all for the next 40 years.

There are differing views about the future demand for electricity in B.C., but it can only rise with industry and population growth. A decade of federal and provincial work to end duplication of environmental assessment won’t be undone. NDP leader Adrian Dix’s promise for “made in B.C.” reviews was a strategy to choke resource projects to death under endless procedure, which may yet be the fate of the Jumbo resort. We will have a Seniors’ Advocate office, but it won’t be staffed up to duplicate the Ombudsperson’s role of taking complaints. That’s good, since the Ombudsperson has become ineffective, labouring for years over a massive seniors’ report with so many recommendations it

Dining in dark gives no insight into being blind To the editor: The entrepreneurs responsible for Dining in the Dark are selling their expensive experience as a unique and fun way for customers to appreciate food more deeply. I don’t understand why eating dinner with the lights out has any bearing on the taste of the food or the liveliness of the table conversation. Nevertheless, if people think they’re having a gustatorial enrichment, more power to them. If they think putting themselves in a circumstance where they function with less confidence and competence than nor-

mal teaches them something about blindness, they’re mistaken. That mistaken notion has negative consequences for those of us who are blind and are doing all that we can to demonstrate that blindness is a less common, but nevertheless normal, way to live fully in the world. My problems as a blind person have very little to do with the fact that I can’t see. My problems have a great deal to do with people around me who frequently have very low expectations concerning my capacity to do everyday things like crossing

streets, climbing stairs, carrying trays in food courts and a hundred other things. People have a hard time understanding how I function because they are terrified when they imagine themselves suddenly unable to see. I understand sighted people are curious and genuinely want a way to understand my life. The single worst way to understand blindness is to simulate it. Sighted people who simulate blindness for a few hours, or even a few days, come away from the experience understanding what it’s like to be a sighted person put at a terrible

disadvantage. They learn very little about how blind people gain ease and confidence using alternative techniques. To learn the true nature of blindness would require much more time and intensive skills education and discussions. Thinking that an evening dining in the dark gives you a window on blindness is akin to believing a day spent playing cowboys and Indians creates understanding of aboriginal culture. In both cases, the experience may be fun, but using that experience to draw conclusions about a minority community is

bogus. If you want to attend Dining in the Dark because it’s a novel experience, go for it! Please remember, though, you’re a sighted person in the dark who is learning exactly nothing about being blind. CNIB is using this event to raise money, thereby reinforcing stereotypes blind people are working hard to eradicate. How shameful that CNIB is helping its finances by undermining its clients’ aspirations. Ellen Gabias, Kelowna

Superior Quality. Trusted Tradition

School District 23 superintendent Hugh Gloster said the decision to ban the site was made because ask.fm allows people to ask questions without revealing their identity. “It was discovered that within our school district, as well as many other jurisdictions, there had been an increasing number of scenarios where messages had been exchanged that could really be described as nothing other than cyber bullying or harassment,” said Gloster. “And there was no way of tracking back to find out who was (responsible).” Gloster said several staff members made senior management at the school district aware of ask.fm concerns. He also noted a few students within the district had reported issues with the website as well. “There have been some very disturbing reports…some really nasty, ugly things being posted

through this site.” The way ask.fm operates is fairly simple: Anyone who has an account can ask a question to any other user. There are several ways those using the site can find people they may know to ask questions to. Upon creating a username, ask.fm requests users share their profile with friends to get questions directed their way. The site also has a search function that can find individuals by username, first name, surname, email, Facebook account, Twitter account or location. The Capital News used the site to search ‘Kelowna,’ which resulted in 361 user matches— most of whom appeared to be high school students. Questions on those users’ pages ranged from inoffensive queries such as, “Where do you see yourself in five years?” to much more intrusive questions, often of a sexual nature. According to the web-

You should never mix spray heads, rotors or drip irrigation in the same zone. The water application rates for each of these types is different. For example rotors apply approximately half the water of spray heads, if you set your timer to the correct amount of water for the spray heads, the areas with the rotors will not get enough water and you will end up with dry spots. If you then set your timer to the correct time for the rotors, the areas with spray heads will be drowned. Check the manufacturers specifications of your heads to determine the gallons per minute for you water pressure to ensure proper coverage and water timing. Drip irrigation is the same reasoning, drip irrigation works on application rates of gallons per hour, whereas rotors work on gallons per minute. If you combine these two types of irrigation in one zone, the drip irrigation will not deliver enough water to your plants, whereas if you set the amount of time to for the drip irrigation correctly you could end up with a pool in your backyard where the sprays and rotors are located. Over and under-watering are major factors that affect the health of your plants which can lead to disease. It is also a major waste of water.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 23 has blocked access to ask.fm on all its networks after students reported cases of cyber bullying and harassment. The social media website allows users to ask other users questions anonymously. site’s terms of service, users of ask.fm can be as young as 13. Ask.fm has a safety tips page, where it suggests those who are asked inappropriate questions tell a trusted adult and block the person who sent the question. There is also an option to report those who continue to send harassing queries. But it doesn’t appear ask.fm pro-actively seeks out those who post inappropriate content; in fact, under terms of service, the site states: “The ask.fm service allows for anonymous content, which ask.fm does not monitor.” Gloster said the goal of School District 23 is not to block specific websites; rather, educate students to protect them-

selves while sharing information online. “We know trying to block individual sites is not a long-term solution; the long-term solution is definitely the educational program and having our students be the ones who help to lead that charge,” Gloster said Although the site will be blocked on school computers in the Central Okanagan, students will still be able to access ask. fm using their personal smartphones or computers at home. The school district asks parents to become aware of their children’s online activities and ensure their kids know the importance of becoming responsible digital citizens. wpaterson @kelownacapnews.com

NEWS ▼ ANNE MCCLYMONT ELEMENTARY

Two school moms advocating for safe access to sidewalks Two moms of students are stepping up the pressure to see sidewalks for Anne McClymont Elementary students bumped up from the planned 2025 construction target. The two moms, Marnie Sisson and Tammy Torgerson, say the area around the lower Mission school does not have proper sidewalks for kids to get to/from school and parents are being forced to either drive their children to school, or walk on Lakeshore Road with traffic to get to school.

The two have started a petition and are trying to get the word out to the entire Mission area, arguing that safe sidewalks not only affect the children going to the school but the community around it. The petition can be viewed at www. change.org/en-CA/users/ amesidewalks. The City of Kelowna will not be upgrading DeHart Road to Vintage Terrace until 2025, under their current 20 Year Servicing Plan. Government funds

can’t be used for interim measures such as temporary sidewalks. Anne McClymont, established in 1929, is the last school in the City of Kelowna to have formalized sidewalks. Sisson and Torgerson contend that the unsafe conditions include incomplete sidewalks in a high traffic zone with heavy truck traffic, and inadequate parking and drop off zones. They say waiting until 2025 only creates the potential for an accident and

subsequent civil lawsuit. Currently, the 5 to 12 year-old children are not able to walk independently to and from their school or neighbouring schools due to the unsafe walking routes. As a result, parents are forced to drive their children short distances to school, which further impacts the parking and traffic congestion. The two school moms claim it’s the obligation of the City of Kelowna to rectify this unacceptable and potentially crit-

▼ GHOSTBUSTERS

Clearing out unwanted energies Some people feel that what Michael Rowland and his business partner Cahrei do at Healing Haunted Houses is somewhat “out of the box.” But as self-styled modern day ghostbusters, the duo are OK with that. “We wouldn’t want it any other way because, in the last 10 years, we have seen how our service benefits so many,” Rowland said. Now, they are stepping out even further into the public domain, hosting a special event called “Being Clearly You” at the Rotary Centre for the Arts in Kelowna, on Tuesday, June 18, 7 p.m. The event will consist of a presentation about various unwanted energies and how they can affect a person’s thoughts, emotions and ultimately, their behaviour. Plus, Rowland and Cahrei propose to clear the energy fields of everyone in the audience of negative energies that no longer serve them. “By removing the influences of earthbound spirits and negative energetic attachments that don’t serve us, we can be free to be more of who we truly are,” said Cahrei. Rowland has had a desire to help more people to understand earthbound spirits, ghosts and other energetic attachments without fear being a part of their experience. With limited hours in a day, he realized his one-on-one service and small personalized classes weren’t reaching very many people fast enough. This new event is a means to achieve his desire in a bigger way. “It is an opportun-

ity to help others learn something about ghosts, earthbound spirits and other negative energies,

many of which are created by ourselves, and have a unique experience of energy clearing.”

the local John Howard Society here in the 1960s, passed away Oct. 1, 2012. He was in his 70s when he died, said Cook. On Saturday, Cook and members of Pearson’s family will unveil the bursary in his memory at a gathering at UBCO’s arts atrium. The bursary brings back a financial award that the society used to offer students in the name of another former John Howard Society official,

long-time board member Rev. Dr. Clyde Wollard. That bursary was cut several years ago when provincial government cutbacks to social agencies forced the society to eliminate it in a bid to reduce its expenses. “We are reinvigorating (that bursary) with this one,” said Cook. The new bursary will be awarded to a student starting their studies in September and will be awarded annually.

spent a joyful long weekend gardening in the cooler weather. My soil was dry so I was delighted with the rainfall Tuesday. Now the ground is well soaked, so it’s perfect to top up areas that need more mulch. I can conserve the rainfall moisture and delay having to irrigate water-thirsty plants like vegetables. After the rain, a new GARDENING WITH crop of weeds is flourNATURE ishing. For xeriscape gardeners who have bare soil well covered with mulch, weeding will be minimal. Anyone with rock Gwen mulch, in place for a year Steele or longer, will have a more difficult time. It’s hard to weed among the rocks. It’s very important to pull weeds before they go to seed to prevent further spread. Put weeds with invasive roots such as quack grass into the yard waste along with any weeds that have flowered or gone to seed. Home composts are not hot enough to kill these. Cheatgrass, also known as spear grass is blooming now. This year it has invaded everywhere. It’s very easy to pull out. I encourage you to do this before it seeds as it’s hazardous to pets. Dry seed-heads lodge in paws, noses and ear canals. Field bindweed (morning glory weed) is just beginning to bloom. Try to keep the flower heads cut off to prevent seeding while working on eradicating its tremendous root system. Dig out new plants as soon as you see them. Siberian elms are dropping millions of seeds— cream disks the size of a dime. They are very drought tolerant and quickly grow long roots making them hard to remove from cracks in the sidewalk, in a hedge or your favourite shrub. Cutting them off only encourages sprouting so dig them out when tiny. To help identify your weeds check www. A SAFE, weedsbc.ca. Any avid gardener will also be able HOMEMADE to help with weed identiWEED SPRAY CAN fication. BE MADE FROM A safe, homemade FULL STRENGTH weed spray can be made from full strength vinegar, VINEGAR, A PINCH a pinch of salt and a small OF SALT AND A squirt of dish soap. SMALL SQUIRT OF Spray on weeds the DISH SOAP morning of a hot, sunny day. The vinegar, salt and sun desiccate weeds. Soap keeps the solution on the leaves. It only works in the sun and is more effective when weeds are small. For tap-rooted weeds such as thistle and burdock, cut the plant off at the ground and pour the solution onto the root. Now is the time when a rain gauge on automatic sprinkler systems would have shut off the irrigation. If you don’t have one, consider getting one to reduce unnecessary watering which encourages weed growth. *** Saturday, June 1, there will be a Heritage Festival for the whole community at St. Michael’s Cathedral, 608 Sutherland Ave., to celebrate it’s centennial. The historical stone church is surrounded by beautiful new water-wise gardens. For more information about the festival and musical events on May 26 and 31 check www.stmichaelscathedral.ca.

KCS named outstanding school by BC School Sports Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

There is a culture at Kelowna Christian School that has taken a firm hold at the private non-deonominational school. And that culture is athletics. This year the small, single A school pulled off a rare triple, winning three senior provincial championships: claiming banners in senior girls and boys volleyball (single-A) and senior boys basketball, where the team played up at the AA level. And the governing body of school sports in B.C. took notice at its annual awards ceremony as B.C. School Sports named KCS its outstanding school of the year in voting against every school in the province, close to 400 schools. “About 65 per cent of the student body is involved in athletics at our school,” said Rob Smith, KCS athletic director. “We’re not a big school but we had 20 teams this year and we have kids playing from Grades 7 to 12. Kids are participating at a high level. There is a culture of involvement in athletics at the school. It’s a big part of our school.” At a banner raising ceremony on Thursday morning at KCS, players from each team in the school raised the outstanding school banner to be placed alongside the

THE KELOWNA Christian School Knights senior boys basketball team celebrate one of three provincial champioships won by KCS this year, winning the AA event in Kamloops. other championship banners in the school gymnasium. “You have all of these kids involved in all of

these sports and whether your team won a championship, it recognizes our entire school and our program,” said Smith. “This

banner is owned by everybody that is involved in athletics at KCS.” Among the players that helped KCS this

season were two highly decorated athletes in Ryan Linttell and Kelsi Taron, both of who have had a hand in several champion-

ships and are good representatives of athletic success at the school. Taron played volleyball, basketball and soccer and was named the junior citizen of the year at the Kelowna Community Civic awards while Linttell was the MVP at the volleyball provincials, an all star at basketball provincials as well as the City of Kelowna’s high school male athlete of the year. Smith says having older athletes leading the way and being not only good athletes but good

people, is a huge bonus for the athletics programs at the school and helps get more kids involved. “I just think there is so much that comes from athletics for kids, participating with their friends at school and leaning and growing together,” he said. “It’s part of the school life and when you play with school-mates and are involved with those kids on so many different levels, lots of good stuff can come of it.” kparnell @kelownacapnews.com

▼ BCHL

B.C. Hockey League considering tweaks to its 2013-14 season scheduling The B.C. Hockey League is considering a few tweaks to its scheduling as it heads into the 2013-14 season.

Most notable is an increase from 56 to 58 regular-season games. The finalized BCHL schedule will be announced in mid-

June. The other issue under consideration is the league playoff format. Last season, Interior teams played

two seven-game series to reach the Fred Page Cup final, while Coastal teams played two best-of-five sets, followed by a best-

of-seven conference final to reach the Fred Page. Vernon Vipers’ head coach/GM Jason Williamson, who co-chairs

the league coaches committee with Nanaimo Clippers’ bench boss Mike Vandekamp, said several revised playoff

formats are being put forward for consideration by league governors at the AGM, June 6 to 8 in Richmond.

SPORTS ▼ ROCKETS/NHL

Trio of Rockets headed to NHL combine Warren Henderson STAFF REPORTER

Interviews and fitness testing are on the agenda for three members of the Kelowna Rockets next week in Toronto. Madison Bowey, Myles Bell and Mitchell Wheaton are among 101 of the world’s top draft-eligible players who have earned invitations to the NHL’s annual scouting combine, which begins on Tuesday. The 30 NHL teams will have an opportunity to scrutinize and evaluate the prospective talent through three days of interviews, followed by fitness testing next Friday and Saturday. Bowey is ranked 32nd overall among North American skaters by Central Scouting, Bell is 46th, while Wheaton is listed in the 69th position. Bell, who was passed over in last year’s draft as an 18-year-old, is happy to be getting a second chance. The Calgary native, who switched from defence to forward early in sthe season, led the Rocksets in scoring with 38 tgoals and 93 points. “It’s a good feeling,” s m -

Bell said of the combine invitation. “It’s a bit unique to be going in as an over-age prospect. A lot of it is because of my move to forward and the success I had there, and I have the Rockets to thank for that. I’m pretty happy to be going to the combine.” Bell has been diligently working out on a daily basis in Kelowna and feels his conditioning should be up to standard for the fitness portion of the combine. As for the interview process, which can be an intimidating concept for young players, the 6-foot, 210-pound forward simply plans to go in with an open mind. “I think you just have to go in expecting anything,” Bell said. “You hear stories about some strange questions and strange things happening, but you can’t control that. I’m just going to try and relax and take it as it comes.” Bowey, one of the WHL’s top young defencemen in 2012-13, helped Canada to a gold medal last month at the world U18 championship. The Winnipeg native had 12 goals and 30 points in 69 games.

Wheaton, a 6-foot5, 225-pound defenceman from Sherwood Park, missed the last two months of the regular season with a shoulder injury but returned for four games in the playoffs. Wheaton had a goal and eight points in 39 games. Top-rated skaters Seth Jones, Nathan MacKinnon, Aleksandr Barkov, Jonathan Drouin and Valeri Nichushkin are also expected at the combine.

The NHL draft will be held Saturday, June 30 in Newark, New Jersey.

WARRIORS’ POPE TO COMBINE

West Kelowna Warriors’ forward David Pope is one of two BCHL players who will attend the combine next week. Ranked 67th among North American skaters by Central Scouting, Pope scored 17 goals and had 39 points in 42 games with the Warriors in 2012-

13.

The 6-foot-2 Edmon-

ton native has committed to Nebraska-Omaha

(NCAA Div. 1) for the 2014-15 season.

men’s volleyball season. Pankratz joins head coach Greg Poitras with UBCO program after starring at Briercest College in Caronport, Sask. Poitras and his staff

have been tracking Kyle since he graduated from Fraser Heights Secondary two years ago, and felt he would be better served to get a year or two under his belt in the CCAA (Can-

gram that has been nationally ranked in the CCAA for several years. Playing in the very competitive ACAC conference was “exactly what we wanted (him) to do,” according to Poitras. “Kyle has made the necessary steps to play at the next level,” Poitras added. “He is a very hardworking, motivated athlete who still has a great deal of growth left in him on the volleyball court. With the departure of senior right-side player Riley McFarland we feel that Kyle is the right man for the job on the right-side.” After an offensively lackluster season for the Heat, Poitras hopes to pair Kyle with former Canada West All-Star Nate Speijer (who red shirted last season due to injury early in the season) to create a more potent attack in McFarland’s absence. “Kyle is a proven scorer,” said Poitras, “and we look forward to helping make this transition in becoming a scorer in the Canada West conference.” Pankratz thinks that he will add more than just scoring to the Heat. At 6-7 Kyle can also have an impact on defense. “I believe that I will bring size and power to the team,” feels the former provincial team member. Kyle played U16 and U17 for Team BC during his high school career. “I feel that I am a presence at the net as well from the back row.

Chiefs add to coaching staff TOFC U16 girls gold in ’Loops

The Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Kelowna Chiefs have added a new coach to the mix for the upcoming season. Jason Tansem will serve as an assistant to Chiefs’ head coach Ken Andrusiak for the 201314 campaign, joining GM/assistant Grant Sheridan and assistant Matt Dyck on the club’s coaching staff. Tansem, who brings with him many years of hockey experience, was most recently the head

mentor coach of the Westside Minor Hockey Association. The Chiefs also announced this week that a number of new players have committed to the club for the 2013-14 KIJHL campaign. Local players include: Kevin Roth, Adam Beatty, Nick Gnazdowsky, Braeden Cyra, Linden Hora, and Nick Kovacik. The new signings were in their Chiefs jerseys this past Saturday, as the team continued its mantra of ‘Building a

Stronger Community’ after participating in the Rutland May Day Parade and the Valley First Grand opening barbecue. The Kelowna Chiefs’ main training camp is set for Rutland Arena, Aug. 26 to 29. The Chiefs will be entering their fourth season in the KIJHL after relocating to Kelowna from Chase prior to the 201011 season.

Kelowna Jays need billet homes

The Kelowna Jays, the 2010 and 2011 B.C. junior baseball champs, are in need of some billet families for approximately 60 days in June and July for the 2013 season. Every season the Jays provide a quality, competitive, learning baseball environment for kids attending Canadian and U.S. Colleges. D The team is comprised mainly of B.C. players

and a few U.S. kids. Billeting these young men is not a difficult task as unlike the hockey players their requirements are not as regimented with respect to meals, meal times and transportation. These young men are used to living away from home and most will have jobs. Financial compensation will be provided along with season tickets to all Jays games and tour-

naments. The Jays play most home games at Elks Stadium but also play several at Boucherie Park in West Kelowna. Billeting can be a rewarding experience as we have had some long term relationships formed over the years between the families and kids. Call Bill Bayne at 250766-1595, 250-826-7867 (cell), or by email at billbayne@shaw.ca.

Volunteers are also urgently needed for the parade on Saturday morning, June 8, helping with barricades and with crowd control.

“We have wonderful volunteers that help us each year, but as the festival grows so do our needs for more volunteers,” said Kim Butt, the festival volunteer director. “It is a very rewarding role and so many volunteers feel enriched because they are so appreciated by the kids and families that come to the festival, plus our volunteer team is a great crew of people, so it is a fun thing to do with your friends and to make new ones as well.” To be a Volunteer Cat, con-

tact Kim Butt directly at 778484-1884 or fatcatvolunteers@ gmail.com. Volunteer forms and job descriptions are also online at www.fatcatfestival.ca.

▼ JUG SHOOT

Try shooting or archery at fish & game club event Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Members of the public are invited to try their hand at learning about shooting and archery in a fun jug shoot held annually as a fund-raiser for the junior programs at the Kelowna and District Fish and Game Club on Casorso Road. It’s Sunday, May 26, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the club’s range, 4041 Casorso Rd. and is open to everyone 10 years of age and older. For a dollar a shot, guests can try shooting

.22-calibre rifles, .223 ribles, shotguns and .22, .36 and 9 millimetre pistols and handguns. There are also a variety of bows suitable for youngsters or adults that will be available, and there’ll be one-on-one, hands-on instruction from qualified club members. Targets will include water-filled milk and juice jugs, water-filled balloons and clay birds for those who wish to try a shotgun. There’ll also be a hotdog barbecue with dogs, pop or chips available for a dollar each. The event is sponsored

by Weber and Markin Gunsmiths, who provide the ammunition for the

shoot, allowing more of the funds raised to go into the popular junior archery

and shooting programs at the club. In previous year, as

many as 250 people have come out to the event. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

▼ WEATHER

Sports fields closed due to heavy rain The recent wave of rain has harmed sports fields in West Kelowna and Lake Country. Both communities have been forced to shut down all its sports fields due to persistent rains, which have been falling since the May long weekend, and which are forecast to continue for the next few

days. Turf has become heavily saturated causing water to pool on sports fields. Standing water can lead to player injuries and cause considerable damage to turf if the fields remain in play. The two communities will con-

tinue to monitor weather, and its effect on playing conditions, and will re-open municipal sports fields as soon as possible. The closure will result in the cancellation of soccer, football and baseball games, an inconvenience acknowledged for both Lake Country and West Kelowna participants.

Hockey players suit up Child care providers honoured to assist a worthy cause

The local civil engin-eering firm True Consult-ing is gathering its friends together to play in a charity hockey tournament this weekend at the Cap-ital News Centre. Teams include civil contractors, municipaleities, engineering firms -and suppliers. The masjority of the teams come sfrom the Okanagan Valeley, with the exception of da handful from the coast. - Each team is encouraged to fundraise for the tourney throughout the year, with prizes and tie-breakers awarded based on their fundraising amount and intern on -their contributions to Ron-ald MacDonald House BC. - About 50 per cent of -the team tournament fees are also donated to RMHBC, the other half covering ice time and referee ecosts. - The tournament was initiated by True Consultoing office manager Dave fPritchard, back in 2008. t The first year saw reight teams battle it out for -the prestigious Corix Cup, swith a total of $9,609 raised for the charity. e Each year since, the tournament creates an increase in interest and pardticipation. - In 2012, the tournament hosted 16 teams and raised a total of $26,000 sfor RMHBC. This year, -the tournament has exepanded again to 24 teams. To date, the tournasment has raised just over $100,000.00 for Ronald MacDonald House BC. Another form of fundraising in the tournament is raffle prize draws and a silent auction of items on display at the arena. These items have been donated by local businesses in support of the charity. Tournament organizers encourage anyone interested in watching, participating or supporting Ronald MacDonald House BC to stop on by the CNC on May 24 and 25 to check out the action. They would also like to encourage any person or business who would like to make a donation in the form of cash/cheque (tax receipt issued) or raffle/silent auction items to Ronald MacDonald House BC to drop off

We have heard the adage “it takes a community to raise a child” but these days it really is the case. Across B.C., about 60 per cent of children from 1 to age 6, have a mother who has returned to the paid work force and will be needing child care. The B.C. government proclaimed the month of May as Child Care Month to celebrate the work of thousands of caring and committed child care providers and early childhood educators throughout the province. “Child care providers deliver some of the most important work in our community; promoting the healthy growth and

development of the next generation,” said Amanda Turner, Success by 6 Coordinator with United Way. “Just as it is important for children to have consistent care and positive attention from their parents, caregivers play the same role when children are young. This is particularly important as women with young children are returning to the paid workforce in ever increasing numbers.” Ideas for families who wish to honour their child care providers: • work with your child to create a thank you card • surprise your provider with a bouquet or pot of

flowers • present your provider with a spa basket with soap and candles • purchase craft supplies or a gift certificate May is Child Care Month provides an opportunity for gratitude toward the work that goes largely unappreciated. Acknowledgement of the efforts of child care providers also contributes to increasing the value we, as a society, place on child care. In the Central Okanagan, many partners are joining efforts to honour the exceptional work of child care providers by offering a child care appreciation and training event

for child care providers on Tuesday, May 28, at Mission Creek Regional Park. This celebratory evening is proudly supported by community organizations like CATCH (Community Action Toward Children’s Health), Early Childhood Educator’s-Okanagan Branch, Kelowna Child Care Society, Kid’s Corner Day Care, Okanagan College ECE Department, Parenting with Pizzazz, Regional District EECO Centre, Success by Six, Vancouver Career College ECE Department.

When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness or injury, it puts a substantial amount of pressure and stress on not only the child, but also the parents. These parents are troubled by not only the concern for their child, but also the expenses required for multiple hospital visits, often each requiring travel, accommodation, care and nutrition.

NEWS ▼ WATERWISE CHALLENGE

Students express a love of water Okanagan WaterWise and the Okanagan Basin Water Board have revealed the winners of this year’s Okanagan WaterWise Challenge as part of Drinking Water Week, being celebrated across B.C. May 20 to 26. The contest began as part of Canada Water Week events in March, inviting Okanagan youth to submit multimedia entries with the theme “Love your water body.” Young people were asked to share their story of a special experience around a particular body of water in the Okanagan and the importance of conserving and protecting

it.

The winners are: Uta Van Ziffle’s Grade 2 class from Vernon’s Mission Hill Elementary School who submitted a video entitled “We Love Our Water,” as well as Christine Richards’ Grade 2 class at South Rutland Elementary and Kari Wright’s Grade 3 French Immersion class at Ecole Glenmore Elementary for their written and illustrated submissions. “We received amazing entries from the North, Central and South Okanagan,” said Corinne Jackson, OBWB’s communications director and manager of the Okanagan

WaterWise program, noting the level of engagement from teachers was heartening. “We had videos, songs, poetry and drawings,” Jackson said. “Some made us laugh, some made us actually shed a few tears—they were all incredibly touching.” As expected, judging was difficult and extra help was provided by water board staff and representatives from the regional districts of North Okanagan and Okanagan-Similkameen. This is Van Ziffle’s second win. Last year her Kindergarten class from

Cherryville won. “A lot of things come across a teacher’s desk, invitations for various contests, but this is the only one I’ve entered because it is so relevant. Plus you have fun prizes,” laughed Van Ziffle on hearing the news. Both Van Ziffle’s and Richard’s classes have won a two-hour cruise on Okanagan Lake, sponsored by Cruise Okanagan in Vernon and KelownaDinnerCruises. com. Students will head out on a boat charter for an on-the-water classroom experience to learn about the water of the Okanagan. “Like last year, the contest happens so close to Earth Day when we’re looking at ways to look after the earth, so it makes the contest very relevant. And the contest fits so well with our curriculum,” Van Ziffle explained. “We all love going to the beach and playing in the water, boating and fishing. And because we have it so readily available, we don’t often recognize what a treasure and precious resource it is. “This contest really helped direct our attention to what we can do to take care of it and not just take it for granted.” Richards noted this was her first time entering such a contest, adding she also appreciated that it met the curriculum. “We spent about two weeks talking about the water cycle and because we live by the lake, it made it so relevant,” Richards said. “We went to the Okanagan WaterWise website and checked out the videos,which the kids really enjoyed, and other materials. “For me, it has always been important to connect to where we live. This was a fabulous opportunity for the kids to connect

It also allowed us to explore how they are connected to kids in other parts of the valley, like Vernon and Penticton.” For Wright, whose students were already conscious about conserving energy, the discussion about water has reinforced their efforts and helped them recognize other areas where they can conserve. “I find that they verbalize it a lot more than they did and remind each other,” she said, adding that the kids were even looking for ways to conserve paper with their submission. “Also, because the students were writing about their own experiences, it was very personalized.

“They were able to see how they could make a difference in their own life right away if they weren’t already, and share this information with others.” Wright’s class has won a pizza party, and the Kelowna YMCA of Kelowna’s H2O Adventure and Fitness Centre is helping provide pool passes. “The level of understanding among kids, at such a young age, is incredible,” added Jackson, listing off some of their suggestions to protect Okanagan water. Suggestions included washing vehicles at the car wash or at least on the grass to prevent dirty water from entering storm drains. Picking up our pet’s poop and not littering so that it doesn’t end up in our water. Tak-

ing shorter showers and turning off the tap while we soap our hands. Collecting water in rain barrels and rain gardens. Planting gardens that use less water. “The contest was aimed at connecting kids to the water that they love to play in—Okanagan Lake, Kalamalka Lake, Osoyoos Lake, Coldstream and Mission Creek, and so many other spots. And they get it— they understand. We’ve got some amazing WaterWise ambassadors in this valley.” An honourable mention also went to a storyboard submission by Susan Brown’s Grade 2/3 class from South Rutland Elementary.

NEWS ▼ HOUSE OF ROSE

▼ MAY DAYS

Departing event organizer will be missed Winery to unveil

big hearty congratulations and thank you to Chris Olson-Brown and the Rutland May Day organizers for this year’s successful event. Olson-Brown has been a key organizer with the event the past few years and in charge of the annual May Day parade. This year’s May Day festival was one of the best in more than half a decade of family fun. Apparently the festivals attendance blossomed this year from just over 4,000 last year to more than 30,000 this year. Wow. Tez and I had the honour of being judges for the parade and once again thoroughly enjoyed it. I was particularly pleased (and ironically so) to see the votes tallied and that the City of Kelowna float won the best community float entry. I was on Kelowna council a couple of years ago when it was decided to fund the creation of a new float for Kelowna. This year’s parade marked the first time in recent memory that it won first place at the Rutland event.

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge Meanwhile, due to significant health reasons Olson-Brown is stepping down in his role with May Days after several years of hard work. Chris leaves big shoes to fill and will be missed. Thanks Chris. *** Under the ‘Golly Gee What a Surprise’ category, regrettably, but not surprising, the Vancouver Canucks have opted to throw their head coach Alain Vigneault under the proverbial bus. Wednesday afternoon the Canucks decided to make the talented bench boss their specific scapegoat for the team’s pathetic showing in the playoffs (again). While not surprised, I still disagree with the decision. I believe the wrong cranium was severed. The first head that should have been lopped

off after the club’s disappointing early trip to the golf courses is that of general manager and president Mike Gillis. The ineptness of Gillis as the GM is the ultimate reason the Canucks did not move further in this year’s playoffs or snag the Stanley Cup last year. Included in his bad trades was sending talented Cody Hodgson to Buffalo for prospect Zack Kassian and allowing speedy youngster Michael Grabner to escape to New York Islanders for less than a song. However those bad trades paled in comparison to the deadly non trade of the past year. Gillis’s refusal to not deal Roberto Luongo when he carried some trade value for a scoring forward has crippled the club. The team will be forced to accept even less in whatever deal is made now that the Canucks woes and Luongo’s contract are so obviously horrendous. Gillis agreed to Lou’s ridiculous contract to begin with and now cannot move him.

Kings in the playoffs. Vigneault was the most successful coach (of the 16) in franchise history over seven seasons posting a 313 regular season wins. The playoffs are perhaps the only area in which Vigneault came up short during his time in Vancouver. The Canucks made the playoffs six times, winning the Presidents’ Trophy twice and six Northwest Division titles. In 2010-11 he led the club to a team-record 54 wins and 117 points. He was also named the Jack Adams Trophy winner as coach of the year in his first season. In announcing the firing, Gillis told the media, “There comes a point in time where the message has to change and we have to be better, we simply did not get the results we expected.” Perhaps Gillis should look in the mirror.

The public is invited to attend the unveiling of a 20foot high metal rose sculpture created by local artist Roland Derks to kick off House of Rose Winery’s 20th anniversary celebrations. The unveiling takes place Saturday at 2 p.m. at the winery’s location, 2270 Garner Rd. in Kelowna. Expected to be on hand for the event will be Kelowna city councillor Gerry Zimmerman, Tourism Kelowna CEO Nancy Cameron, Nan Pellatt, representing local MLA Steve Thomson, Lake Country artist Roland Derks, and winery owners Aura Rose and Wouter van der Hall. The House of Rose Winery (www.houseofrose.ca) has been owned by Rose and her husband van der Hall since July 2009. The winery was originally owned by Rose’s father, Vern Rose, who purchased the property in 1983 and opened the winery in 1993. House of Rose Winery is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, to be marked by a series of special events beginning with the sculpture project. Derks’ sculpture weighs 2,180 lbs and is made of steel. It took the artist more than 50,000 hammer blows to create.

Questions? Ask Glenn

Clearly no one jumped on the chance to procure Luongo who has 10 years remaining on a 12-year contract that’s worth $64 million US. Stupid or what? The crowded and financially cumbersome goaltending situation in Canuckville saw Luongo, a three time Vezina trophy winner, sent to the bench in favour of goalie Corey Schneider, and caused far too much attention away from the team game on the ice. As well, Gillis never managed to pull any significant deals to procure a needed sniper up front during the entire season despite the fact the Canucks clearly lacked enough scoring or toughness. Instead, Vigneault paid the price when the club was swept four straight in this year’s playoffs by the San Jose Sharks after losing in five games last year to the

NEWS ▼ CANADA DAY

Art gallery to bring back Apple Bin Paint-In event The Kelowna Art Gallery will once again celebrate Canada Day by hosting a much-loved family art activity. The Apple Bin PaintIn will take place on Monday, July 1, between 10 a.m. and noon, outdoors at the Kelowna Art Gallery, where community members of all ages will be invited to paint their artistic visions on a side of an apple bin. Twenty-five apple bins will be delivered to the art gallery by B.C. Tree Fruits for the event. After they are paint-

ed, these colourful bins will be kept on display to the public until the end of August. Then they will be picked up and delivered to local orchards to be filled with this year’s apple crop. New this year is the addition of wildlife-based organization Get to Know, which will be on-site with a burrowing owl. In recognition of this, participants will be asked to consider incorporating an environmental take into their work of art. The art gallery’s web-

site, www.kelownaartgallery.com, will feature a number of ideas and inspirations to assist participants in planning their creations. “The annual Apple Bin Paint-In is such a pleasure to be a part of,” said Renée Burgess, head of public programming at the Kelowna Art Gallery. “Not only does it provide a fun way to engage children with art, but it instills confidence in their own creative abilities by seeing their work displayed to the public throughout the summer.” Several community partners help to make this event possible each year: Benjamin Moore paints has generously donated all the paint for the event. The Apple Bin PaintIn is also proudly supported by B.C. Tree Fruits, Source Office Furnishings and Get to Know. This event is free and open to the public, but pre-booking is required.

A TRADITION for the Canada Day celebrations every year in Kelowna, the Apple Bin Paint-in staged by the Kelowna Art Gallery, will make its return again this year. Participants are encouraged to take part and paint their artistic visions on the side of an apple bin.

more sales results My name is Cal Manky and I am the owner/ proprietor of OK Estates Furniture and More, a local estate liquidation company with a used furniture and home decor outlet at 1960 Springfield Road in Kelowna. Since starting this business in 2009 I have relied on the Kelowna Capital News almost exclusively for my print advertising. The staff in the front office are always cheerful and extremely helpful in transforming my vision into the printed page. Michelle has performed some minor miracles, often finding space at the last minute for those ads I forgot to place. The exemplary customer service doesn’t end in the front office though; when I recently relocated OK Estates retail and service headquarters to 1960 Springfield Road I decided, with only a few days remaining, to publish a flyer to spread the word of my grand opening and found that I had just missed the print deadline. That is when Sharon and Nancy saved the day, expertly editing my copy and pushing it through to the presses in record time, surpassing every expectation. My thanks go out to the advertising and printing departments at the Kelowna Capital News for keeping my business well publicized and for the truly superior customer service they provide.

But the West Kelowna Residents Association knows there are many more people than that who want to see change. Last month, the WKRA asked residents to help identify gaps and problems with existing health care services on the Westside. The residents association has agreed to gather the feedback on behalf of Joanne Konnert, the consultant hired by the District of West Kelowna to prepare a report on the proposed Westside health facility. “I think Ms. Konnert is probably expecting a larger number,” said WKRA director Ron Green. “At the last public meeting we had on the subject, we had 245 people there.” Green said the responses so far have given

The West Kelowna teenager currently on trial for murder will finally tell her version of the events that left one of her peers dead, and turned a quiet Peachland street into a chaotic crime scene. The 18-year-old, whose name is under a publication ban, is alleged to have stabbed Ashlee Hyatt, 16, in her neck after an argument at a June 2, 2010, party. It’s a story that Crown counsel Murray Kaay assembled a number of witnesses to tell from varying angles, but defence lawyer Ingrid Friesen pointed out Friday that none of those viewpoints added up to a complete picture. “You as a jury will be the first to hear her side of the story—she wants very much to tell it,” Friesen told a B.C. Supreme Court jury Friday. “She’s been waiting two years to tell it.” The accused, who defence described as a “new girl trying to fit in at a new school,” has seen her point of view be absent in the last two weeks of trial, as even RCMP officers who dealt with the investigation failed to offer her perspective on what happened that night. What the jury has learned from teen witnesses who were there, however, is that the accused kissed a boy, while her boyfriend was nearby. This apparently upset Hyatt and the two started exchanging verbal barbs, which escalated to further pushing on the street, and eventually Hyatt was fatally wounded. Continuing on with the altercation, however, was the teenage host of the party. The defence has already suggested she was the one who brought the knife to the fight between the accused and Hyatt, and Friday two witnesses took the witness stand to highlight the teenage host’s behaviour in the aftermath and leading up to the fatal altercation. They also called upon George Young, who lives adjacent to the party house, to give testimony. Young testified he was brought into the fray when he heard a teenage boy in the street talking into his cellphone, saying, “It’s going down, it’s going down, it’s happening now.”

he day’s last light was fading and the first flakes of snow were falling outside the window, when a large black bear came ambling down the slope into the flower bed. There he began vigorously digging a hole, tossing plants aside as he went. A loud rap on the window sent him scurrying through the trees to the road, but the damage had been done in the garden. What if someone had come around the corner of the house and surprised that big animal? Others tell of watching as a large black bear ambled up their residential street, systematically exploring every driveway for garbage bins left out or other treats to eat, knocking over bins and laying down in the mess of trash in the road, while chewing on whatever was available.

Classics meet pops resulting in Plumes’ truly unique music

Jennifer Smith

STAFF REPORTER

There’s an ethereal quality to Plumes, both its classical ensemble and its indie pop incarnation, to be placed somewhere between Björk and Sarah Slean. A quick listen to their summer 2012 self-titled album suggests the flowery boasts of its promoters are finally not hyperbolizing musical prowess. While many an indie act might promise the stars, this is one prolific, unmatched creative force grounded in the marriage of singer/songwriter Veronica Charnley, and her composer husband, Geof Holbrook. He has trained from Columbia Univeristy to the Insititut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique in

Paris and been awarded in the SOCAN Competition for Young Composers seven times. “We move a lot so to be able to have Geof give the notations to different musicians in different cities makes everything faster,” said Charnley. “Faster” is actually more like light speed for these two who have lived in some of the most prolific creative communities the world over in the last six years and created two, even three, separate bands, if one counts the chamber ensemble and indie pop branches of Plumes as two different acts. Their first group, the very rockesque Flotilla, carved a space for their sound somewhere near Kate Bush and Portishead in the music annals,

CONTRIBUTED

PLUMES centres around Geof Holbrook (left) and his singer/songwriter wife Veronica Charnley; they formerly played under the name Flotilla. and met with the kind of acclaim that sees its work lauded totally unique by seasoned music critics. When the pop sounds of Plumes developed, along with a desire to

have group that could play chamber music spinoffs, it seemed a rebranding was in order. Charnley compares the resulting new group to Clogs, an instrumental

project from Bryce Dessner of The National, or Shara Worden. Whether you’re up

COLUMNIST

I usually devote this column to volunteer topics but today I want to pass along some thought-provoking ideas about giving money to nonprofit organizations. I recently watched a TED Talks video posted on www.youtube. com. Dan Pallotta spoke on the topic: The way we think about charity is dead wrong. Pallotta begins by stating that although business will move the bulk of society forward, there remains about 10 per cent of the most disadvantaged left behind; some issues have no money measures upon which to build a market.

He goes on to explain that the nonprofit sector then takes over and “philanthropy becomes the market for love.” This is a startling statement. Pallotta eloquently speaks about the “dangerous question: What percentage of my donation goes to the cause versus overhead?” He cleverly summarizes that we do not really want our tombstone to read, “We kept overhead low.” So what questions should we be asking? People who want to change the world ask about the scale of a non-

profit’s dreams and how they plan to measure their progress toward those dreams. People who want to change the world ask what resources are needed to make dreams real, including the cost of overhead. Pallotta asks: “Who cares about overhead if these problems are actually getting solved?” The challenge is to develop “generosity of thought” so that nonprofits can expand to meet real, live human need. And so, I ask you: Are you truly exercising generosity of thought with your financial donation or does your gift have strings attached that tie the hands of nonprofits that are serving the most vulnerable in

our society? If you are looking for a local charity, like Hands in Service whose tagline is Love.Gives.Back., go to www.kcr.ca and click on Community Information Search Central Okanagan.

a sense of home is a theme in this work. The pair met Rousseau, who lived in the neighbourhood, within their first month living together and all have been collaborating ever since. While their music is decidedly experimental, Charnley foresee it becoming even more “harmonically experimental.” “I still want to maintain a level of accessibility because I like pretty melodies, but I think the harmonies could be even more out there…with a little bit more dissonance.” Plumes plays the Streaming Café on Saturday, June 1, for more information see streamingcafe.net. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com

Is philanthropy the market for love?

on the indie music scene enough to place the examples or not, anyone will be able to appreciate the rare opportunity Plumes offers to hear clarinet and bass clarinet, a reasonably loud instrument, deftly woven into Charnley’s sweet melodies by Lousie Campbell, in a popular music group. And with harpist Eveline Grégoire-Rousseau, a substitute with the Montreal Symphony Orchestra, and violinist Pemi Paull joining for their Canadian dates, Plumes is a musical force in every sense. Charnley and Holbrook met when Charnley’s friend moved to Germany and she assumed her spot as Holbrook’s new roommate. Creating

Daft Punk turn back on EDM

Plant Sale 100% B C Owned and Operated

The French electronic duo Daft Punk have been griping about EDM (electronic dance music) for eight years since the blockbuster sale of their last studio album Human After All. This is the predominant genre in the pop charts right now—think David Geutta, Swedish House Mafia etc., and Daft Punk, back in the day, were a large part of the success and flowering of EDM. So to voice their dislike of current EDM, Daft Punk have released a decidedly non-EDM album while playing with less synth and hiring veteran session R&B/disco players like Nile Rogers (Chic), bassist Nathan East (Lionel Richie, Barry White) and guitarist Paul Jackson Jr. (The Temptations, Luther Vandross). The lead single Get Lucky is right out of a late ’70s imaginary disco soundtrack with rubbery bass and stabbing rhythm guitar while singer Parrell expresses the free wheeling hedonism of that pre-

When not playing retro disco, Daft Punk experiment with ’70s-styled Progressive rock—more Pink Floyd than anything resembling EDM. This will surely come as a surprise to EDM and Daft Punk fans but many are predicting Random Access Memories will still make its debt at the No.1 spot on the mainstream charts this week. This is also a lengthy 75-minute album with lots off odd tracks—none more so than Giorgio By Moroder where the celebrated disco/electronic producer speaks his biography over a jazz/rock fusion.

Besides an only so-so Christmas album they released last year, this new CD lives up to its name— Volume 3—as their third studio album. The reason the duo does not give their albums more characteristic names is because the albums are more or less interchangeable with bright, summery indie pop with a retro groove for the early to mid ’60s—that is, before the so-called hippy dippy 1967 “summer of love” with Woodstock and the Beatles Sgt Pepper psychedelia. Deschanel is a better than average songwriter but she also has a confident and assertive voice that gives her songs an

Deschanel better than average singer/songwriter Mitchell from A34 enduring edge that really draws the listener to her likeable songs. Vol. 3 is also her first album since the divorce from her husband Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie and some of her songs, such as the buoyant Never Wanted Your Love and the pretty but maudlin Shadow Of Love, seem to address this loss and change. The best original song, I Could’ve Been Your Girl, has a sweet unforced innocence along

with handsome B3 organ and strings but I also love the covers here. Check out the cool takes of Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me (Covered by many including Johnny Mathis and Connie Francis) and the lesser known Blondie B-side Sunday Girl that has a nifty up-tempo Peggy Sue rhythm. All three She & Him albums are worth a listen and this new disc has made its debut at the respectable No. 15 spot on the charts. Download fans should also check out She &

MS MR: SECONDHAND RAPTURE (CREEP CITY/SONY)

She & Him are upstaged for the shortness of a mixed duo’s name by New York’s MS MR—as in miz-mister. They are vocalist Ms. Lizzy and multi-instrumentalist Mr. Max (they

prefer to keep their bio obscure which is fine by me) and it is easy to see why Sony Music Corp. rushed to sign the act given the MS MR style that sorta mashes up authoritative Adele vocals with the sophisticated synth-pop of Florence + The Machine. Their lead single Hurricane was recently played live on Letterman where band leader Paul Shaffer exclaimed “wonderful, very sophisticated.” MS MR are also noted for their dark, often fore-

boding love and relationship songs and hence the album title Secondhand Rapture while their creepy, gory video to Ash Tree Lane is not for the weak stomached. There is sometimes an alt-gothic bent to these synth heavy songs that verge on Evanescence territory while the more poppy song Salty Sweet with its marimba and harp is a likely hit. Not a bad start for this debut. Bmooseman19@telus.net

MOTORING

Get your ‘Jaguar Voice’ Jaguar from B1 ed with beautiful, sunny, spring weather during my week with an XF 3.0 AWD, my colleague Jim Robinson had an opportunity to test the vehicle under winter conditions in Quebec late last year and he came away impressed. “… the message Jag wanted imparted and which I definitely got, was what confidence in the car is what AWD brings to the owner,” he wrote. In dry conditions, the all-wheel drive system sends most torque to the rear wheels for, as Jaguar says, “to preserve the agile driving feel and response of a rear-wheel drive XF.” When slippage is detected, up to 50 per cent of the torque can be instantaneously applied to the

front wheels. In adverse conditions, the driver only needs to select “Winter Mode “ by pushing a button on the transmission tunnel behind the hockey-puck style rotary shifter that is a Jaguar trademark. This mode automatically pre-loads more torque to the front wheels at start up for easier acceleration. The stability control and ABS systems also come into play when this is applied. There is also a “Dynamic Mode” for more spirited driving and “Normal Mode”, which is the default setting. That feeling of confidence that the AWD promises along with the sexy good looks of the XF augers well for an uptick in sales for the 2013 model.

Prices start at $61,500 but my tester was loaded with a number of options that brought the as-tested tag to $75,850 when you throw in the $1,350 destination and delivery charge. Among the options were the Premium Pack ($4,300) that includes a hard-drive based navigation system, upgraded 380W Meridian sound system with 10 speakers plus subwoofer, Sirius satellite radio, rear camera parking aid, front parking aid and adaptive front lights. The Convenience Pack ($2,500) includes keyless entry, blind spot monitor, “electrochromatic” mirrors, intelligent high beam headlamps, electric rear sunblind and Jaguar Voice. The Portfolio Pack

LORNE DRURY/CONTRIBUTOR

THE JAGUAR XF has decent rear seat legroom of 930 mm for a mid-size sedan.

LORNE DRURY/CONTRIBUTOR

YOU’LL be sitting in the lap of luxury in the 2013 Jaguar XF, here featuring the soft-grain leather with contrasting stitching as part of the $4,000 Portfolio Pack. ($4,000) has soft-grain leather with contrasting stitching, heated and cooled front seats, suede headline and premium carpet mat. Also on the option list was split folding rear seat with ski hatch and ski bag ($600), metallic paint ($500), jet headliner ($500), and a cold weather package ($600) of heated steering wheel and heated front windshield. This is definitely a car that stands out in a crowd. If you want to be noticed, this is a car for you. Heads will turn as you drive by, perhaps because the sight of a Jag is not all that common here. As one would expect of a vehicle in the premium price range, the XF is comfortable, quiet and

smooth with great performance. The interior is superbly finished, particularly when you add the somewhat pricey Portfolio Pack that takes the feeling of luxury to another level. On a trip out to dinner one night with friends, we all commented on the quietness and lack of road noise exhibited by the XF. Aside from the unique rotary shifter that rises up out of the centre console when you push the start button, the Jaguar also has a cool HVAC system whereby the air vents suddenly power up and rotate in the dash. The front seats are wonderfully comfortable and adjustable and three can fit in the rear, albeit a bit of a tight squeeze since

this is a mid-size car. Legroom is adequate; if you want more, the upmarket XJ model might be more to your liking. This is still one of the most powerful cars in the segment (0-100 km/h in 6.4 seconds) even with the switch in 2013 to a supercharged V6 engine from the 5.0-litre V8 last year and the drop of 45 hp. The fuel economy improvements, however, make it all worthwhile. So what makes the XF special? Well, it is a Jag and with it comes the luxury and prestige that has always been a hallmark of the upscale former British brand. Throw in the new allwheel drive system and a smooth-shifting eight-

speed automatic transmission and you have a sexy-looking ‘cat’ that is poised to claw away at the competition in the luxury mid-size class.

scroll turbocharger producing 181 hp and 177 lb/ft of torque and 208 hp and 192 lb/ft respectively. There is an “overboost” function that, on the JCW, increases torque to 207 lb/ ft. The convertibles are front-wheel-drive and all are available with a sixspeed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. Running on premium fuel, the JCW is quick with a 0-100 km/h time of 6.9/7.1 seconds manual/ automatic and a top speed of 235/233 mph manual/ automatic. Fuel consumption for the manual is listed at 7.8/5.6/6.8L/100 km city/highway/combined and 8.1/5.8/7.1 city/highway/combined for the automatic. People describe MINI handling as being like a go-kart and with a turning circle of 10.7 meters it’s pretty tight for a front-driver.

and, with wizard tweaks, turned it into a giant killer on the tracks. When BMW bought British Leyland in 1994, Mini came with it. It was not a match made in heaven (or Munich or Coventry for that matter) and BMW closed Rover down in 2000 but retained MINI (now all upper case) bringing out the first new model in 2001. Today there are seven spinoffs starting with the original three-door hatch followed by the Coupe, Convertible, Clubman (wagon), Roadster, Countryman (minivan/ CUV) and Paceman. I don’t know how they do it, but each one has its own impish personality. There are three convertible trim levels – Copper, Cooper S and John Cooper Works (JCW) as tested here. Like all MINIs, they are equipped with a 1.6-litre, DOHC inline four-cylinder. The Cooper has a normally aspirated version producing 121 hp and 114 lb/ft of torque.

ONE of the unique features of MINI convertibles is this gauge called the Always Open Timer on the steering wheel hub that clocks the number of hours and minutes the top has been down.

MOTORING MINI from B4

four-wheel disc brakes, which are larger with bright red JCW calipers. I drove a six-speed manual with straight up and down shift pattern with reverse a dogleg to the left. The shift knob itself is a nice, round ball as it should be. With spring-loaded actuation, the shift down from fifth to fourth or third to second sees the lever slot right in without fumbling or having to look down. You can miss a shift but you have to be pretty ham-handed to do so. At the same time the clutch feel is nicely modulated with the faceplate bite coming just about halfway through the pedal travel, which suits most people but I like it near the -top because I still know 7how to heel-and-toe. Equipped with a short -throw manual, the smaller ”the car and the smaller the ,engine, the more I like it. / I come from an age where, because the enegines were so anemic, the lhigher you keep the revs, -the better your pace using dthe gearbox to make sure

the revs didn’t fall away while gearing down to save wear on the brakes, which were pretty marginal compared to what we have today. You would think that slapping on a turbo would rob the engine of power and hobble the rev range — and that used to be true back in the day. Today’s turbos let the engines rev like they aren’t even there but are also surprising fuel-efficient. The place to start up the JCW is in a garage. There’s a nice little rasp from the twin exhausts that gets better if you’ve already punched the “Sport” button just in front of the shifter. What Sport does is change the engine mapping and tightens up the steering for a more sporting feel, which is already pretty good without Sport engaged. But what it also does is free up baffles in the exhaust, resulting in satisfying burbles as you let up on the throttle or shift down. Then you just go and See MINI B6

have fun. The beauty of the JCW is you can throw it around, clip apexes and feel the wind in your hair while never exceeding the speed limit. And while you’re having all that fun, you’re doing so in a very interesting cockpit. MINI interiors are unlike any in the business, starting with the main instrument cluster that is in the shape of a dinner-plate sized gauge with the speed indicator not a needle but a pointer that revolves around the outside of the circular instrument. At the centre is a screen that, depending on trim level, displays more information than you expect. Get the $1,850 Wired Package (as fitted to tester) and you’ve got voice recognition, navigation, smart phone integration and more, The $750 Harman Kardon sound system sees speakers in just about every nook and cranny. I noted on each front door there are two speakers not counting the tweeter on the inner A-pillar and a sub-woofer and midrange in each inside back seat wall. A wonderful extra is a gauge called the Always Open Timer just to the left of the steering wheel mounted tach that clocks the number of hours and minutes the top is down so you know much sun/ EV you’ve taken in your drive. The JCW is no super econobox like the original Mini but a luxury car in every sense of the word from the supple leather seating to the nicely fitted

leather boot on the shifter. Pricing starts at $42,900 and topped out as tested at $48,995, not counting the $1,655 shipping fee. If that’s too rich, the convertible Cooper starts at $29,500 and the Cooper S at $34,150 and you don’t need the Sport button to have the same amount of pleasurable driving. But the JCW as tested with its “Kite” blue paint and black racing strips, the 17-inch “Black Star” alloy wheels with blood red brake calipers and that cheeky stance makes it look positively sinful. Mix in clear skies, balmy spring breezes and open roads and it doesn’t get any better.

THE 9TH Pennsylvania Reserves stand near the Pennsylvania Memorial in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Create a battle plan to visit Gettysburg during its 150th anniversary Diane W. Stoneback CONTRIBUTOR

GETTYSBURG, Pa.—In July 1863, the 2,400 residents of Gettysburg had little time to prepare for 170,000 Confederate and Union soldiers who advanced on the town. The soldiers clashed in a three-day battle that would paint its streets and pastoral farmlands crimson in the bloodiest encounter of the Civil War. Today, the town of 8,000 braces for another invasion of as many as 70,000 Americans on July 1, 2 and 3 and a predicted 200,000 during the 150th observance of the Battle of Gettysburg June 28 to July 7. Officials and residents are working hard to be ready for the onslaught. A sampling of the blow-your-hat-off experi-

ences for Civil War fans brave enough to advance on Gettysburg during this special time: climbing the cupola where Gen. John Buford plotted his strategy while monitoring Confederates advancing on the town, seeing the official casting of President Abraham Lincoln’s face, viewing 3,550 luminaria on soldiers’ graves, joining thousands of visitors in a walk-the-battlefield special observance of Pickett’s Charge, and watching two major re-enactments involving 10,000 men. Major events include: • A commemorative ceremony on June 30 called “Gettysburg: New Birth of Freedom.” • The openings of a “Treasures of the Civil War” exhibit, the Spangler Farm Civil War Field Hospital site and the new Seminary Ridge Mu-

TRAVEL Gettysburg B10 tourist information tents in town and at satellite parking locations. Although printing isn’t scheduled until mid-June, you can download a complete, calendar-style listing of all the 200-plus events for the 10-day observance at http://www.gettysburgcivilwar150.com. Click on “events.” Reading the guides’

information will serve as a printed version of reveille. It’s your wake-up call to the challenges to be faced when deciding which events to attend. “Don’t arrive without a room, if you intend to stay overnight,” says Carl Whitehill, Gettysburg Convention & Visitors bureau spokesman. Most hotels in Gettysburg already are booked. “The best way to connect

with available hotels is to call us at 800-337-5015,” Whitehall says. “We’re keeping a list, so visitors won’t have to make so many calls.” He reported some vacancies in Adams County in early May, but many visitors will wind up in York, Dauphin and Cumberland counties, or even in nearby Maryland. Day-trippers shouldn’t have any worries, Whitehill says. Approach

Gettysburg via routes 15 or 30 and you’ll encounter electronic signs directing you to satellite parking lots. “Leave your car behind and take free transportation into Gettysburg,” Whitehill advises. “At the in-town depot, you can board trolleys for most of the commemoration’s key observances.” You will need your car, however, if you’re planning to attend one of

the major re-enactments staged on the Bushey or Redding farms. Ample parking will be available on designated farm fields. Could potential visitors become overwhelmed by so many things to do during the 150th commemoration? “I can’t say I’ve worried about that,” says Cindy Small, spokeswoman for the Gettysburg Foundation, which stages events

in conjunction with the national military park. “We have focused on providing all of the information we could about all of our events, so individuals and families can customize their experience, based on their interests,” Small says. “If they use our guide to do their homework, they’ll know what they want to do when they arrive.” Besides daily park

events for the 10-day observance, the guide also provides maps of park traffic patterns and shuttle routes that will change daily July 1-4, and information about the park’s Visitor Center and other special locations including The George Spangler House, Rupp House and David Wills House. “We put pressure on See Gettysburg B12

ourselves to make this year very special,” says Katie Lawhon, spokeswoman for the national military park. “We’ve added many new ranger programs so there will be plenty for everyone to do.” The expanded programming means visitors will spread out to many sites on the 5,000-acre battlefield. The huge re-enactments are expected to be the biggest draws, Whitehill says. Here are more details on some of the other events: • Ceremony: Make plans to attend the “Gettysburg: A New Birth

of Freedom” ceremony, which starts 7:30 p.m. June 30. Highlights: country music star Trace Adkins singing the national anthem, keynote speech by Civil War historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, and a Voices of History reading of eyewitness accounts by soldiers and citizens swept into the battle. Presented in a natural amphitheater on the battlefield, the dramatic setting includes views of Widow Leister’s Farmhouse and Barn, which served as Gen. George Meade’s headquarters, and Big and Little Roundtop. The evening’s finale invites visitors to join a procession from the amphitheater to the Soldiers

the mane of his favourite horse, Traveller; Grant’s sword celebrating his victory at Vicksburg; Pickett’s spur; Meade’s slouch hat and frock coat worn at Gettysburg, and Barton’s hair brush. “These belongings help tell great stories about these people and help visitors make personal connections with them,” Small says. • Field hospital site: Spangler Farm, used as a field hospital for 1,900 men during the battle. Although seeing it is free, all visitors must procure a ticket and ride a special park service shuttle to the house and barn. Open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. July 4, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays on a few summer weekends, the farm is still undergoing restoration. “You’ll see the barn where Army surgeons set up their operating tables to treat wounds and do amputations and walk the grounds where injured soldiers recuperated” (outdoors and with little shelter, after the barn was full), Small says. “Two hundred died and were buried on the farm.” • New museum: The new Seminary Ridge Museum will stage preview events June 29 and 30, before its July 1 grand opening, exactly 150 years after it was engulfed in the first day of the Battle of Gettysburg. Located in the former Schmucker Hall at the Lutheran Theological Seminary on Seminary Ridge, it offers in-depth looks at the first day’s battle, Civil War medicine and moral and spiritual debates of the era. But these major events are only the beginning of the opportunity to explore the engagements and human side of this heart-wrenching battle that led Lincoln to write his Gettysburg Address and marked a turning point in the war that continued for an additional two years.

Gettysburg B12 rangers, there are overview hikes, key moments covering events at a specific time and day of battle, living history camps and programs and special evening Voices of Battle programs presented by living historians who bring to life the eyewitness accounts of the soldiers and civilians at 7:30 p.m. July 2-4. The Gettysburg Foundation also has created a sunset bus tour of the battlefield and another that focuses on some of the 400 major works of sculpture placed in the military park to honour the men who fought and died at Gettysburg. But one of the most anticipated special events involving visitors will be the Pickett’s Charge Commemorative March. At 3 p.m. July 3, the time and day of Pickett’s Charge 150 years earlier, visitors will be asked to join park rangers to walk the Confederate battle line or stay where the Union Army’s battle line awaited them. When the two groups meet at a stone wall, taps will echo over the battlefield. Lawhon stresses, “This is not a re-creation. We could never re-create the tragedy and horrors of Pickett’s Charge, which was the last encounter of the battle. Nor would we want to. But walking the ground, listening to taps and envisioning what happened here will be unforgettable.”

Homeowners Parade of homes at The Lakes project going green ▼ LAKE COUNTRY

The public is invited to beautiful Lake Country for the second annual Spring Parade of Homes at The Lakes development on Saturday. The parade of homes is an opportunity to experience the variety of neighbourhoods, building opportunities, developers and community partnerships involved with The Lakes. Tour 10 showhomes with entertainment for the whole family and have a chance to win great prizes. From adult living neighbourhoods to custom-built homes, The Lakes developers will be showcasing their very best. First up is The Lakes Discovery Centre. While admiring the display from Canada Flooring, the real-

tors from The Property Source Group will walk you through the many development opportunities available over refreshments provided by Big Surf Lager and Bone Beer. Visit the Master Site Plan to get a bird’s eye view of the entire community, including available lots. Next, you can head over to Cadence at The Lakes for a BBQ lunch while touring a fully detached, rancher style home. Discover active adult living with resort-style amenities and maintenance-free homes. Just minutes from Vernon and Kelowna, this bare-land strata development is ideal for emptynesters who want peace

and quiet. After lunch, head over to the McBratney Homes showhome for some refreshments while enjoying the view of the valley. This contemporary open floor plan with vaulted ceilings makes this home feel bigger than its 1,576 sq. ft. Just down the road are two showhomes from Destination Homes, one being a Tommie Award winner from 2011 as Best The kids burn off some energy in the bouncy castle while you discover the exemplary craftsmanship from this family of builders. Just around the corner is a showcase of unique design, innovation and quality from Noba Vision Design Build Firm. Learn more about

Lake Country culture with a complimentary wine tasting from Intrigue Wines and photography exhibit from local artist Darrel Geisbrecht. Richdale Homes is offering beer tasting and snacks in their brand new showhome with a breathtaking view.

Malkin Construction has built a showhome that will open your eyes to the possibilities of custom home building. The inspiring interior and exterior finishing will provide a beautiful backdrop while you enjoy refreshments and learn more about Lake Country living.

Finally, end your day right with a tour of the Built-Rite Homes showhome on East Ridge Court and cupcakes by Cupcasions. Every show home toured provides you another chance to win some great prizes, including return airfare from Vancouver to London on British Airways. Or vacation closer to home with a two-night stay or $250 spa gift certificate at The Cove Lakeside Resort. There are also great prizes from Mara Lumber/Irly Bird, Lake Country Timber Mart and more to help with your new home.

▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

Carefree lifestyle of condo/townhome living The carefree lifestyle of condominium and townhouse living makes it a popular option for buyers. Interest in condominiums tends to grow with an influx now available on the market and relatively low mortgage rates. An option to seriously consider if you are currently renting—a $200,000 mortgage today amortized over 25 years with a 2.89% fixed rate for five years is a monthly payment of $935. There are two things you should be aware of when purchasing a condominium or townhome. First, both are a collection of private dwellings on a shared property. Second, the maintenance and upkeep on the common elements of the complex—which will in-

clude lobbies, hallways, recreations facilities and landscaping— is a shared responsibility among all the unit owners, who all pay a monthly strata fee to cover those costs. Each owner has an interest in these elements. The value of each unit is calculated in proportion to the total value of all units in the strata. This percentage is used to calculate the monthly strata fee that you must pay for upkeep. As well, if there are any unforeseen expenses or shortfalls, such as replacing a roof, all the unit owners must pay an share towards covering that cost if the strata reserve fund is insufficient. You will be responsible for property taxes and typically they are less than if you own a home/ lot.

You will also have to purchase contents insurance. You as an owner will purchase insurance for your personal property, any improvements and betterments made to the unit and personal liability. The cost is usually much less than if you were insuring a home on a lot. The strata also carries insurance coverage for the common areas and the units and personal liability against claims for bodily injury and property damage occurring on the property, etc. Each strata is governed by its own unique rules, regulations and bylaws. You should carefully review and consider these bylaws and rules prior to purchasing. If you are purchasing a preowned condo/townhome you should also review the year-end financial statements and budget

to determine the financial well being of the strata. An important part of the budget is the reserve fund. A portion of your strata fee is designated to the reserve fund and these funds are set aside to provide for major repairs over the life of the condominium/townhome complex. This fund ensures that the common elements will be maintained in good shape for the life of the project. As an individual owner, you may be obliged to attend meetings and serve on the board or various committees. Of Prime Interest is a collaboration of mortgage professionals Trish Balaberde (250470-8324); Darwyn Sloat (250718-4117); and Kristin Rosdal (250-878-3007).

oday is a new world of wants and needs when it comes to real estate. One want and need that is becoming increasingly popular is to own a ‘Green’ home, outfitted with products such as flooring and paint that are environmentally friendly. Cork flooring, for example, not only offers style and a retro fare to any household, but it is also an outstanding green product for every home. Cork flooring is preREAL ESTATE pared by harvesting the RUNDOWN tree bark to produce this flooring product. This procedure is strictly regulated to avoid any excess or unnecessary Ceiwen damage to the trees. Cork flooring also Morgan contains a natural substance called Suberin that fights off rot, mold and mildew, which is helpful to anyone who suffers from allergies. There are some properties that use materials that are toxic in nature. They can simply be the cleaning supplies under our sinks or the paint that has been used on the walls in our homes—some paints contain volatile organic compounds in them that can have a negative effect on our household and environment. Eco-friendly houses do not support the use of such materials and therefore have a better indoor air quality. Come homeowners that are considering going green seem to be under the impression that it can be quite costly and hard on the bank account, but keep in mind the value of your home would increase as well. If you consider using sustainable and eco-friendly materials in your house, such a water saving toilets and solar panels, you can save you a lot of money on the utility bills which becomes an attractive quality to home hunters. In today’s market, home buyers are educated and are searching for the properties that have lower utility bills, durability and quality of product. More and more these days, the increasingly popularity of an eco-friendly property or building. If you’re a buyer and choosing a green property is important for you, seek out a ‘Green’ real estate agent who may better serve you and your needs in purchasing the right echo friendly home. There are eco-friendly training programs that allow for certification of real estate agents who are required to complete an energy, environmental and marketing training program to earn that designation. These agents can educate consumers and homeowners about the benefits of greener homes by recommending appropriate resources and services. Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.
