t’s called a business walk. Teams with representatives of the provincial and local government, as well as representatives of economic development and the chamber of commerce, pound the pavement for a few hours talking to business owners and getting a feel for the pulse of business in the community. The idea kicked off in Canada right here in the Central Okanagan last year and has proven to be a roaring success. So, earlier this week, the EDC did it again. In today’s Close-up, assistant editor Alistair Waters tags along to get a closer look at just what it’s all about. See story on page A3.

t’s billed as a quick way to take the pulse of business in the Central Okanagan. It’s called a business walk. On Tuesday, small teams of representatives from local municipalities, the province, area business groups and the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission fanned across Kelowna, Lake Country and West Kelowna with a simple mission—spend a few minutes talking to local manufacturers and find out how their businesses are doing. The teams were in and out in minutes but the information gathered is considered critical when it comes to not only helping build relationships and networking, but also in addressing the important issue of business retention here. “What we really want to know is what do they need,” said Corie Griffiths, business development officer with the
Gauging the business climate EDC and one of the main organizers behind the business walk. Following on the success of the first business walk here last October—that unlike the walk Tuesday was not industry specific—the EDC organized the second to focus solely on manufacturing. EDC executive director Robert Fine said manufacturing was chosen because of its impact on the local economy. While not a huge
employer locally, there are more manufacturers here than many may think—75 alone were visited Tuesday morning. And while many are small operations, studies have shown the average manufacturer here has 50 per cent more impact on the local economy than a retail store and 40 per cent more than a tourism operation. “There are fewer of them but the impact is bigger,” said Fine. Manufacturing here,
like elsewhere in Canada, has taken a hit in recent years. The total number of employees in the sector is down from where it was in the 1990s. But it’s still a player in the local economy and appears to be on the rebound. So the business walk teams hit the pavement Tuesday morning, armed with four simple questions for the businesses: How’s business? What are the challenges? Why is it located here? What
does it need? While detailed reports will be written up over the next few weeks detailing what was discovered, Griffiths said the initial findings included a need for strategic market assistance, particularly for businesses sending their goods outside of this area; a need to address recruitment of skilled and trained employees; and concern about some municipal issues, such as signage and rules and regulations and infor-

mation from the city being made available to the business in a timely manner. But overall, it seemed the businesses talked to during the walk liked being here, felt business is picking up and would like to grow their workforces, even if they are not quite ready to do so yet. “It really did allow us to take the pulse of the manufacturing sector,” said Griffiths. ••• The idea of business
walks is not new—at least not in the U.S. But the one here last October was a first for Canada. Last October’s walk organized by the local EDC contacted more than 300 businesses and was billed as a success—a success that did not go by unnoticed. The province, which has participated in both walks here with representatives from ministries such as jobs and skills training, now promote the use of similar walks to other communities, particularly smaller communities where there may not be local organizations like an economic development commission. “It’s a simple and effective way to help identify opportunities early,” said Myles Burns, regional manager in the Thompson Okanagan for the B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training. “It’s an awesome tool to capture a snapshot of how businesses are doing.”

June declared gun amnesty month by the province British Columbia’s police departments are combining their efforts in making homes across B.C. safer by declaring a province-wide gun amnesty throughout the
month of June. With endorsements from the BC Association of Chiefs of Police, the program will run from June 1 to 30. During this time,
residents of B.C. will be able to safely dispose of unwanted, documented or undocumented firearms, weapons and ammunition that have not been used in a criminal offence, with-
out facing weapons-related Criminal Code charges. “We as police officers know full-well the effects and impacts of having firearms inside homes,

particularly if they are unsecured. Turning in unwanted firearms will eliminate the risks these weapons pose,” said deputy commissioner Craig Callens, commanding officer of the RCMP in B.C. Minister of Justice and Attorney General Shirley Bond said the gun amnesty will work toward minimizing “needless and avoidable” tragedies. Anyone who possesses guns, ammunition and weapons—even imitation
and pellet weapons, pepper spray and knives— are being asked to phone their local police on the non-emergency line listed in their area phone book. Police will go to their residence to receive the weapon. It is important that residents do not transport these weapons themselves into police departments for security reasons.

Missing man search carries on 24 years later
The ongoing search for ‘Charles’ Karoly John Horvath-Allan has spanned nearly two-anda-half decades since his disappearance. Horvath-Allan was a 20-year-old Canadian-born British man who decided to hitchhike across Canada in 1988. In the spring of 1989, he registered at the Tiny Town Campground in Kelowna and was working at the now defunct Flinstones Bedrock City. He had maintained contact with his family throughout his travels, and when he failed to finalize arrangements to meet them in Hong Kong as planned, he was reported missing. Horvath-Allan was last seen in the summer of 1989 and his whereabouts remain unknown. The police file is open and will remain active until he is found. If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Horvath-Allan, contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250762-3300.
Police recover stolen scooters
The Kelowna RCMP Property Crime Unit searched an Ellison area property last week and recovered a number of stolen items. RCMP discovered three stolen scooters, two licence plates and a flat deck trailer from a residential property on the 4800 block of Rittich Road. The scooters had been stolen from Motor Toyz earlier in the month. The trailer was never reported stolen and an owner has yet to be confirmed, but police are aware of who the likely owner is and anticipate it will be returned to them shortly. If you have a tip about suspicious activity, remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, visiting crimestoppers.net.

▼ INVESTMENT FROM CHINA
Canadians must adjust to new global economic realities ASSISTANT EDITOR
An analyst with the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada, an independent think tank that looks at relations between Canada and Asia, says Chinese in-
vestment in this country is happening whether we like it or not. So Kenny Zhang says Canadians should embrace the Eastern tiger economy. “China will invest regardless,” Zhang said fol-
lowing a presentation to the CFA Society Okanagan in Kelowna Thursday. The CFA Society represents investment professionals around the world. “If Canadians say no, China will just go to Aus-
tralia and if it says no, China will just go to the U.S. and if the U.S. says no, China will invest in Africa.” He said while research by the Asia Pacific Foundation has shown that Canadians are very
wary of Chinese investment in Canada, particularly by state operated entities because of issues like China’s human rights record and environmental standards, that is not stopping a growing amount of investment in this country

China has $70 billion investment in Canada Realities from A6 Sands. “As a business community here (in Canada) we need to partner with Chinese business to benefit (from Chinese investment),” Zhang told the meeting. During his presentation, Zhang talked about the meteoric rise in the amount of Chinese investment outside of China in the last 10 years. He said currently, the country—through state owned entities, as well as private corporations—has an investment in Canada of about $70 billion. While that is not considered large, it is growing and has shot up since 2006. He said in addition to state-owned operations investing here, private companies from China are also ploughing money into Canada—in some cases in large amounts—but he called them “ghosts.” You would never know it,” he said adding some of the investments, while large, are kept very quiet. He used an example

of a multi-million investment in a gold mining operation in the Yukon that has garnered little publicity. “Generally you wouldn’t even know they are there.” Zhang said unlike North American business leaders, the people in charge of Chinese stateowned corporations are under even greater pressure for their investments to pay off. That’s because success can equal advancement through the political system in that country, as well as in the business reward, he said. “I would suggest Canada and China get together at all levels—government to government, business to business and individual to individual,” said Zhang.

PubliC HEARing
tuesday June 4, 2013 at 6pm Kelowna City Hall, 1435 Water street Council Chambers
Council endorsed the report from staff, which outlines ways to improve aspects of the City’s development application process to find a balance between being a regulator, encouraging new development and providing good customer services. Recommendations include ongoing monitoring, greater transparency and creating accountability to ensure consistent implementation.
In compliance with instructions received from the Kelowna City Council, the following proposed bylaw to amend the City of Kelowna Zoning Bylaw 8000 is currently under consideration by City Council:
Ellis truck Route
Lot 40, Section 23, Township 26, ODYD Plan 18008 Bylaw No. 10847 (Z12-0064)
Council approved the closure of the Ellis Street truck route to reduce industrial traffic through the developing pedestrian, commercial and residential areas of Kelowna’s downtown core and cultural district. Existing truck routes on Spall Road and Gordon Drive will remain in operation. The City will work with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure to upgrade the intersection at Gordon Drive and Highway 97 to ensure safety and maintain traffic flow. Route closure and further intersection upgrades are expected to take place in 2014.
transit operating Agreement
Council received information about transit costs and approved this year’s annual operating agreement. The City of Kelowna contributes $4.5 million of the estimated $6.4 million net Municipal Share of the regional Conventional Transit program.
Park Concessions & Vendors
Council endorsed the award of seasonal activity and food concession contracts to operate at City, Ben Lee and Waterfront Parks, and at Queensway Street. These contracts contribute to the City’s commitment to find better ways to deliver services to our community.
greenhouse gas (gHg) Corporate Report
Council received the report for information, which provided details about corporate greenhouse gas emissions and projects planned or underway to reduce them. Projects include building and facility optimization and implementation of a fleet management system. The City’s current GHG emissions are at the same levels as 2007 despite additions to the corporate fleet and building inventories to support services to our community, which has grown by 9 per cent since 2007. kelowna.ca/council

WHETHER IT’S lavender jelly, herbes de provence or culinary lavender buds, Thursday’s Farm to Table meet and greet event organized by Tourism Kelowna allowed producers like Andrea McFadden, of the Okanagan Lavender Herb Farm, to meet chefs who might be interested in their products. They had their choice of cheeses, honey, greens, other vegetables and fruits, hard cider, wines and other local products, and there were lots of connections made. JUDIE STEEVES/CAPITAL NEWS
If this kid was talking about the most recent strike, I wonder where she got that idea. In a negotiating performance that was appalling even by BCTF standards, Lambert and her team conducted months of disruptive work-to-rule action before they could even articulate a wage and benefit demand. When they finally did, it was outrageously out of touch with reality. An indication of how the union’s ruling class wants to conduct itself in the classroom can be found in the latest issue of the BCTF newsletter to its members. Joanna Larson, president of the Prince Rupert union local, contributes an article headlined: “What kind of citizen do we hope to graduate from our K-12 public schools?” Larson first quotes the education ministry’s current goals. They include preparing citizens who are “creative, flexible, self-motivated, and who have a positive self-image.” Another goal is citizens who are “skilled and who can contribute to society generally, including the world of work.” Larson then mocks these goals, as follows: “Essentially, the Ministry of Education has a vision of citizens who will maintain the status quo, not rock the boat, and participate on a superficial level in aspects of political and societal change. It doesn’t challenge individuals to take direct action against exploitation, marginalization and violence.” In case you missed the political message, Larson later asserts: “The educated citizens we graduate from our schools cannot just be content to wear a pink shirt once a year…. Educated, engaged citizens must be willing to take direct action to change and shape our society for the better.” What is this ghastly “status quo” that must be challenged by “direct action”? In these campus-radical screeds, the final answer is generally the same: capitalism. This call to arms is a blend of the NDP election platform and a rant from the Occupy Vancouver squat of a couple of years ago. It’s no wonder we hear of students making BCTF picket signs in art class. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Transparency invisible in Harper’s government
To the editor: According to the Ottawa Citizen, last week the federal cabinet approved the appointment of former Alliance MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla, Jim Hart, to the Parole Board of Canada (Pacific Region). His appointment was for a five year term that will pay him $121,700 to $143,100 annually or between $608,000 and $715,500 over the course of his tenure. Mr. Hart may be more deserving than qualified. In 2000, he surrendered his seat as the MP for Okanagan-Coquihalla so Stockwell Day, the newly elected leader of the Canadian Alliance Party, could run and sit in Parliament. For his efforts (and with the help of a lawyer), he eventually received $50,000 from the Canadian Alliance Party. Last year, as the B.C. Liberals languished in the polls, Mr. Hart considered re-kindling his political career by seeking the nomination for Vernon-Monashee in John Cummin’s Conservative party. He later withdrew. It’s not clear how much experience Mr. Hart has had with Corrections Canada or Canada’s justice system. Prior to his entering politics in

L
ike those Japanese soldiers who didn’t hear about the end of World War II, the militant fringe that controls the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is digging in for an endless battle against the B.C. government. Their nemesis, Premier Christy Clark, reiterated last week that seeking a 10-year agreement with the BCTF is a top priority when the legislature is recalled this summer. The current one-year truce ends June 30. The BCTF grudgingly agreed to that extension last year, then ran TV ads calling for an NDP government that promised concessions and union bosses on both sides of the negotiating table. “You know, I may be a lame duck,”

A Tradition of Sound Advice
▼ HASKINS PONDS
Is it time to kiss painted turtles good-bye? To the editor: Re: The dying out of the painted turtle at Haskins Pond, 3100 block Hall Road. The 12-year-old ponds that were used for raising new rainbow trout in the 1940-’50s, are slowly disappearing due to diversion of irrigation water to the Sutherland Provincial Park fishing pond.
The irrigation system used these ponds for their continuous flow dumping grounds therefore keeping the Haskins Ponds full all year. Now, there is no in-feed water from the South East Kelowna Irrigation District system since all 50 gallons/minute goes to the Hall Road trout pond across the road from Johnson/Hall Roads.
It is nice to have a trout fishing pond for the children but the Haskins Ponds are nearly dry and they are homes to many native fish species, aquatic birds and the painted turtles which can be seen sunning themselves along the shores or on logs. The 50 gallons/minute overflow water going to the trout pond could be
divided 30/20 so 20 gallons went to Haskins Ponds to keep that system alive with fish, aquatic birds, painted turtles and water lilies. I assume the Haskins Ponds will be filled in with soil once they are completely dried up and that will be a sad day for the native wild life of the area, but that is the way
it is. Some of the larger ponds have already been filled. Does anyone have any ideas for saving the painted turtles or shall we just kiss them good bye? Are the painted turtles not on the “endangered species list”?

▼ SENATE SCANDAL
Harper’s leadership imploding as we watch To the editor: In 2005, then Opposition Leader Stephen Harper said on CBC-TV: “My instinct is when somebody doesn’t answer questions, even simple and fairly innocuous questions in a straightforward manner, there may be something else. When you’re under the kind of cloud the Prime Minister (Paul Martin) admits his government is under, I think you would use every opportunity to be as forthright as possible.” On May 28 and 29 (of this year) Prime Minister Harper was grilled by Opposition members during Question Period regarding the ever-widening Senategate scandal. It reminded me of watching episodes of Law and Order. Harper was asked several short, precise questions. He answered some questions directly, some in a very general way, and ducked others, such as when NDP leader Thomas Mulcair asked if Harper had ever discussed the matter in cabinet. CTV’s Robert Fife broke the story of the personal cheque from Nigel Wright (Harper’s then chief of staff) to Senator [Mike] Duffy on the May 14 CTV National News. Fife’s report quoted identical statements from the PMO (Prime Minister’s Office) and Duffy: “Mr.
Duffy had paid back the expenses in question and no taxpayer resources were used.” Yet on both days of Question Period, Harper said he was unaware of the $90,000 payment Wright made to Duffy until he was informed by Wright on the morning of May 15. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau asked Harper: “Is the Prime Minister so completely not aware about what is going on in his own office that he did not know the night before, when the news broke?” On May 21 the media was invited to hear Harper deliver a speech at a Conservative caucus meeting. Harper said he was “very upset” about the scandal. After the speech, there were shouted questions from reporters, but Harper took no questions. He just sat at the table and smiled uncomfortably while journalists were ushered out. During the time of the 1973 Senate Watergate Committee hearings, Paul Simon had a big hit with Loves Me Like a Rock. It includes a verse about U.S. President Richard Nixon, who later resigned. Simon’s version goes something like: And if I was the President/ The minute the Congress call my name...”) Time for a rewrite:
And if I was Prime Minister (was Prime Minister) The minute reporters call my name (was Prime Minister) I say now who do (who) Who do you think you’re foolin’? (who do you think you’re foolin’)
On the May 19 edition of CBC Radio’s Cross Country Checkup, Michael Den Tandt (Postmedia News) said about the scandal: “This is an attack ad that writes itself, and it’s being written by the Conservative Party.” Watch Question Period on CPAC (Channel 120) or online at www.cpac.ca/eng/direct/ cpac1.

Lucrative appointment for Hart to Parole Board

ness owners and operators about concerns they have and, in turn, are able to pass along information that may be helpful to the businesses. Burns credits the Central Okanagan EDC for bringing the business walk to the government’s attention. Griffiths said she has had calls from other communities interested in holding their own business walks looking for information. And some communities, such as Vernon, now plan to hold walks of their own in conjunction with the next Central Okanagan one in October as part of the celebration of small business week. In addition, Griffiths will be telling her economic development colleagues about the success of the business walk program at the next meeting of the Economic De-

velopment Associations of B.C. meeting where she is scheduled to make a presentation. “The beauty of the program, and the reason it works, is because it leverages participation from a whole group of organizations and that really helps,” said Griffiths. She said the EDC here does not have the resources to conduct walks that hit so many business in such a short space of time. So not only is it critical to have other groups, such as municipalities, the province, chambers of commerce, business improvement area organizations, educational institutions and other businesses involved, it is also important that they be there to hear the concerns of the businesses being talked to. That way, they can offer potential solutions. On Tuesday, one of the teams that headed out included Kelowna Mayor Walter Gray, the city’s business development officer Jim Patterson, Vera Sit with the B.C. Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, and Sherri Chapman representing the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce. The inclusion of the mayor and Sit gave the business people interviewed by that team an opportunity to raise both municipal and provincial issues, something Patterson and Gray said they found helpful. “In 1 1/2 hours, you get a real sense of how it is out there,” said Patterson, who acts as the city’s main liaison between business and City Hall.
ALISTAIR WATERS/CAPITAL NEWS
MEMBERS of a Kelowna Business Walk team talk to Omar Rashwan, business
development manager for Kelowna’s Tree Brewing during the walk that saw teams sent out Tuesday by the regional economic development commission to briefly talk to representatives of 75 manufacturing companies across the Central Okanagan. For Sit, it provided an opportunity to inform local business operators about programs her ministry offers that they may not have been aware of, which could help their businesses. She said often, business owners and operators, particularly of smaller operations, do not have the time to research all that is available to them because running their businesses takes all their time. “That’s where something like this (the walk) is really good,” she said. On Tuesday, during an interview with Shirley and Glen Corrigal of Kelowna’s Furniture Plus Manufacturing, a small furniture maker located on Ellis Street, Sit heard directly about the difficulty some smaller businesses are having get-
ting and retaining skilled workers. Shirley Corrigal said at her business, workers are often employed for the length of the project being worked and are then laid off, only to be re-hired for the next contract. Sit said there are government programs that can help companies like Corrigal’s retain the workers between contracts, information Corrigal said she had not known about but would like to learn more. Corrigal called the business walks helpful because they put businesspeople and the government representatives face to face and both can learn from each other. Down the road, at Mearl’s Machine Works, Greg Anderson agreed. “Any time the govern-
ment, local government, regional people show up and interact with us in a supportive way, it’s beneficial,” said Anderson. “They will have a better feeling of how we are doing.” Many of the businesses spoken to Tuesday reported business is picking up after a tough couple of years with the economy taking a dip. While business is not back to where it was for many, there does appear to be a new found optimism among many business operators here based on what the walk teams were told Tuesday. For the EDC, if it can learn from the information gleaned from the quick interviews and the development of relationships, that can only bode well for the future.

Push for tobacco-free pharmacies Search carries on for fugitive
British Columbia will have the unflattering distinction today of being the lone province in Canada to still allow the sale of tobacco products in pharmacies and venues containing pharmacies. As of May 31, coinciding with World No Tobacco Day, Manitoba becomes the ninth province to ban the sale of tobacco in pharmacies. Health care advocates encourage the provincial government to make this a key priority and make B.C. pharmacies tobacco-free. “The provincial government has taken an inspired approach to dealing with other tobacco control issues by banning smokSing in vehicles where chil-
dren are present and supporting one of the most expansive and generous Smoking Cessation Programs in Canada,” said Scott McDonald, chief executive officer of the B.C. Lung Association. “However, B.C. has lagged behind every other Canadian jurisdiction in the area of tobacco-free pharmacies.” “In recent polling done by the Heart and Stroke Foundation, more than 73 per cent of British Columbian’s support tobacco-free pharmacies,“ noted Diego Marchese, CEO, BC & Yukon of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. “That is tremendous support for a policy that would see B.C. coming
up to the same standard as the rest of Canada.” “Pharmacists provide expert advice every day to people who are thinking of quitting or are having a hard time resisting the temptation of tobacco. But sometimes in order to access the expert advice from the pharmacist in the back of the store, you need to walk past the temptation of tobacco sales happening at the front of it,” added Bev Harris, vice-chair of the College of Pharmacists of B.C.
“We have long been supporters of legislation that would finally put an end to this conflict.” The BC Medical Association and the Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. & Yukon are also supportive of the move to make the province pharmacies tobacco-free and have advocated for years to see such a policy in place. Collectively, the health organizations believe that with more than 6,000 retail outlets that sell tobacco products in B.C.
The search for a 37-year-old New Brunswick man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant and missing from a Kelowna halfway house continues. In May 2012, Philip Lee Lyons was on day parole as a first-time federal offender when he apparently walked away from a halfway house in Kelowna. As a result of being unlawfully at large, a Canada-wide warrant was issued for his arrest and he was subsequently reported missing by his family and now has been missing for over a year. Despite being wanted for parole violations, it is unusual for Lyons to cease contact with his family. “I know someone out there has the answers to where my son is or what happened to him. I continue to hold out hope that he will call or walk through the
door,” said Mary Veno, Lyons’ mother. Lyons is known to the Okanagan area, but is originally from New Brunswick with strong ties to Fredericton and Doaktown. Lyons is described as a 37-yearold, five-foot-10, 223-pound Caucasian man with brown hair and hazel eyes. He has a tattoo on his left shoulder (tribal symbols), a tattoo on his left forearm (“Sabrina” tribal symbol surrounding an eye “FTC”), a tattoo on his right shoulder (skull art) and various tattoos on his right forearm. If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Lyons, contact RCMP at 250-762-3300. Police advise the public to not approach Lyons as he may become violent.

ecause it was a quiet afternoon, the sudden clattering and banging outside my home office window sounded particularly loud. I jumped up and looked into the yard at a deer trying to drink out of my bird bath in the middle of a perennial bed. Just then, she knocked the whole thing over, but she continued nosing at it and began to eat the flowers instead. I rushed out on the deck, thumping and yelling at her, but to no avail. She just looked at me as if I was the one who was nuts. I’m not sure what

finally made her turn away and slowly meander out of the flower bed, unless it was the sight of all those pine cones headed her way, but she did finally exit the yard, leaving a certain amount of carnage behind. She didn’t charge me or even make any threatening moves, but according to local conservation officers, she well might have if she’d had a newborn fawn nearby who she felt needed protecting. This is the time of year deer are dropping their fawns, and for the first few weeks, the fawns stay perfectly still while their moms go foraging for food, with the idea their presence won’t be detected. Apparently, the newborns have no smell, so don’t tend to attract predators. Except, of course, for man, who has been known to stumble on a hidden fawn and pick it up to take it home, figuring its mother has abandoned it. Mom has not abandoned it. She’s protecting it by keeping predators from being alerted to its

presence, by leaving it alone and cautioning it to be still. Leave wild babies alone. They’ve survived for centuries without our interference, so it would be a shame if we put a stick in the spokes of their wheels for the rest of time. But, also be aware that does with fawns can be very aggressive. Those little hooves are very sharp and can cause a great deal of damage to an unwary human who expects a deer will naturally run away instead of turning on him. In particular, if you have a dog with you, keep the dog under control and stay well away from deer, because they are accustomed to having to fight

CITY PARK-ING LOT
In response to my column last week with concerns about turning City Park into an RV parking lot, one reader who was shy about submitting a letter to the editor suggested the city instead use the old high school site on Harvey near Richter, which is slated for housing, but has sat vacant for a number of years now. She contends there should be lots of space on the site for a tourism centre, RV parking, and a housing development when someone comes along who’s interested in building it. She agrees that it’s important City Park’s green beauty not be eroded any further to provide more asphalt.
FISHING OPS
A record-sized prize lake trout was taken out of Mabel Lake last weekend during the annual fishing derby, the largest ever landed during the derby, at 19 pounds eight ounces. It was caught by Gayle Summerfelt who, ironically, was also the derby organizer. There were 280 entries in the derby with about 100 fish weighed in. Incidentally, there’ll be a fishing derby Sat-
urday, June 15, on Okanagan Lake, organized by the B.C. Sport Fishing Guide and Rodney’s Reel Outdoors, with some amazing prizes, worth more than $20,000, for the longest fish caught. Go to the website to register at www.kelownafishingderby.myevent. com. And finally, there’ll be a youth fly fishing event put on by the young people in the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association for those under 16 to experience the fun and excitement of fly fishing on Shannon Lake in West Kelowna. Bethany Froehlich says guides will be on hand to show you how to tie flies, cast and fish and there will be tackle and gear available. It’s Sat., June 8, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Go to Peachlandsportsmens.ca for more info. This is a terrific opportunity for young people to have fun in the outdoors and learn a new skill. At the same time, there will be the weekly opportunity Saturdays until Father’s Day for youngsters to head to Shannon Lake and catch trout in the netted-off pond, with PSA fishing instructors and gear available that day, and with regional district staff there Sundays.

his is an invitation to join me at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, June 3, for a free guided tour of the unH2O Xeriscape Demonstration Garden, located in front of the H2O Aquatic Centre, 4075 Gordon Dr. I will highlight plants in bloom, the creation and evolution of the garden and answer your questions. The garden was created in 2010 by the Okanagan Xeriscape Association with financial support from the Government of Canada provided through the department of the environment; the City of Kelowna; the Okanagan Basin Water Board; and with the assistance of the local landscaping and horticulture industries and
many volunteers. It is maintained by volunteers from the Okanagan Xeriscape Association. More volunteers are welcome. It’s a good place to learn and enjoy the company of gardeners. The most colourful gardens this week are the Mediterranean, native plant and rock gardens. None receive any supplemental irrigation. Sedums, thrift (Armeria maritima), and Turkestan onion (Allium karataviense) blooms draw the eye to the rock gardens. Orange arnica (Arnica fulgens) is glowing deep gold in the native garden. The mock orange and ocean spray (Holodiscus discolour) shrubs should flower by Tuesday. The cheery yellow browneyed susans will continue to bloom all summer. They look magical peeking through the blue bunch wheat grass. The Mediteranean garden is dominated by a swath of bright blue Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low.’ This is complemented
GWEN STEELE/CONTRIBUTOR
NEPETA ‘Walker’s Low’ in the Mediterranean garden, is alive with pollinators, as are the blooms in the native and rock gardens, seen here in the distance at the unH2O Xeriscape Garden. by varying foliage colours and textures of plants yet to bloom: lavender, Coreopsis ‘Golden Gain’, santolina, and Sedum ‘Postman’s Pride’. Garden brochures, including a listing of plants in each garden, are beside the main garden sign. Plant labels and brochures help to identify plants you might want to grow. Check www.okanaganxeriscape.org for slide shows of the colourful gardens, the story of building the garden, and a copy of the garden brochure. I will have my favourite xeriscape gardening book, Creating the Prairie Xeriscape by Sara Williams, available for
$35. I’ll also bring a flat of very healthy hen and chicks for sale at $2 each. I look forward to meeting you in the garden on Tuesday evening. Meanwhile, tickets for the Kelowna Flower Power Garden tour, June 15, are on sale now. Details are at www.flowerpowerylw.ca . There are nine beautiful gardens to tour including the large and colourful xeriscape garden that won OXA’s xeriscape Garden contest in 2011. I will be at this garden with OXA’s information booth. Gwen Steele is executive director of the Okanagan Xeriscape Association.

Hip to be at Rock ‘n Rococo somewhere next weekend
Kristin Froneman
STAFF REPORTER
Cue the Well-Tempered Clavier, powder that up-do wig, bust out the corset, and get ready to rock rococo style at one of the biggest, and slightly secretive, fashion and art events to hit the Okanagan. Combining the fashion sense of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, with added modern flair (think leather and lace), and you get the idea of A Rock ‘n Rococo Affair, the latest couture fashion show being put on by Kip Jon Productions. The company, owned and operated by Vernon’s Kip Whelpley, has held similar fashion events in Vancouver, including one that was attended by the Real Housewives of Vancouver, and for the first time is hosting a show, in conjunction with local sponsors, in Kelowna
June 8. However, the location is only being disclosed to those who purchase a ticket—the reason is to keep the event an intimate affair, said Whelpley, who also produced the Bright Lights Big City fashion fundraiser as well as a concert by local pop star Andrew Allen in Vernon last year. “The event itself is in Kelowna, but the core crew and most of the performers and models are from Vernon,” said Whelpley. “There are producers and A listers from L.A., New York and Toronto flying in for the event and to look at the Okanagan and its talent. We have put the event together to give the talent in the Okanagan a place to showcase themselves in front of a crowd they may normally not get a chance to perform to.” The 18th century rock ‘n roll-inspired shindig
will showcase local designer talent by Sam Shakura of Kelowna’s Rock House of Design and fashions from Vernon’s 104 Grey Clothing. There will be performances by Vernon’s Windmills, the Canadian School of Ballet, and Vernon’s opera-jazz trio The Dharma Dolls. Celebrity guests confirmed to attend the event include Emmy-nominated choreographer Stacey Tookey of So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars, actor Gene Gabriel (NCIS LA, The Sopranos), as well as Justin Shultz from the Edmonton Oilers and Eric Godard, retired enforcer of the Pittsburgh Penguins. This introduction into the haute couture of the Okanagan will not be the first event of its kind, but the start of many, said Whelpley. “In following years it

will be attached to a philanthropy group that is mandating to raise funds for grants and scholarships for students of the arts to apply for,” he said. “The grants and scholarships will be crafted to the individuals depending on their needs.” Tickets for A Rock ‘n Rococo Affair are $120 each, and include drinks from Okanagan Spirits, food from Cabana Grille, and wine tastings from Vibrant Vine Winery. Tickets for the June 8 show are available in Kelowna through Sam Shakura of Rock House of Design (778-477-1178) or at Okanagan Spirits, 267 Bernard Ave. (778484-5174). Or call Kip Jon productions at 250-307-8604 for over-the-phone purchase and personal delivery. Kristin Froneman is a Black Press reporter with the Vernon Morning Star.
▼ VOLUNTEER CENTRE
Strategic planning should extend to your volunteers
Dawn Wilkinson
COLUMNIST
I
keep bumping into people who are working on strategic plans. Are you thinking strategically about the volunteers in your organization? Susan Ellis, an internationally renowned expert when it comes to volunteering, challenged my thinking in her Hot Topics blog this month on Energize Inc.’s website (www. energizeinc.com).
She writes about how volunteers can expand an organization’s brain. Are you intrigued? The challenge is to value volunteers as “a core asset in leading the organization towards its goals.” Ellis describes the thought process for add-
ing one volunteer role for each organizational goal. Read the organizational goal and then ask yourself: What is the role that can be met by paid staff and what role can volunteers fill? Could volunteer roles be used to expand programming online or in different languages?
Do you currently have paid and volunteer staff to play these roles? How many and what skills are needed by these paid staff and volunteers? Then ask about financial resources. Which activities need cash and which can be accomplished through donated time, talent and products? Challenge yourself to broaden your concept of “supporters” to include a variety of ways that community members can get involved with your organ-
ization. Volunteers can be purposely recruited with knowledge and experience that currently does not exist within your organization to build capacity. Include people from diverse occupations and professions “to establish radiating networks of contacts throughout the community.” Do your volunteers represent your client base in terms of ethnicity, income, education, demo-
graphics or lived experience? If so, they can provide ready planning suggestions and program delivery feedback. Recognize the involvement of both paid and volunteer staff and share as much as possible about your organization. Ensure that everyone has an extraordinary experience when they interact with your organization so that they will want to make a commitment to your organization’s vision and mission.

Dora the Explorer coming to Kelowna The latest theatrical production of Nickelodeon’s popular cartoon character Dora the Explorer will make a tour stop in Kelowna this fall. Called the Search for the City of Lost Toys, the stage production will be presented in two shows, 3:30 and 6:30 p.m., on Oct. 8 at Kelowna Community Theatre. Starring Dora the Explorer and her cousin Diego, Boots the monkey and pals Map, Backpack, Tico, Isa, Benny, Swiper and more, the storyline for this production has Dora having lost her teddy bear, and the search is on to retrieve him. With the help of the audience and her courageous friends, Dora uses her map-reading, counting, musical and language skills to successfully pass through the number pyramid and the mixed-up jungle to reach The City of Lost Toys. Dora fans will delight in this two-act
song and dance spectacular that invites audiences to think, sing and play along. Dora is designed to teach kids to explore, communicate, overcome obstacles, solve puzzles and discover a diverse and exciting world—all while having a lot of fun. In Canada, Dora The Explorer episodes air Monday through Friday at 4:30 p.m. on the Treehouse cartoon channel. The producer of this latest Dora the Explorer stage effort is Koba Entertainment, responsible for previous theatrical productions such as The Backyardigans: Quest for the Extra Ordinary Aliens, Toopy and Binoo and the Marshmallow Moon and Max & Ruby in the Nutcracker Suite. Koba Entertainment’s artistic director Patti Caplette uses the company’s hallmark innovative multimedia technology to create a unique production experience for both kids and adults.

STAFF REPORTER
Former Westside Warriors defencemen Justin Schultz and Joel Woznikoski go back a long ways. Both players hit the ice for the Warriors during the team’s inaugural season in the Kelowna area, when the team played out of Memorial Arena in its first season in the BCHL. It was the 2006-07 season and Woznikoski arrived having played some games for Kamloops of the WHL as well as in Langley the year before the franchise moved to West Kelowna. Schultz was still playing minor hockey but would play two games as an affiliate player that season, before joining the team the next season as a 16-year-old. Both of them will be reunited this week, along with over 30 former and current Warriors, as the team holds its first ever Warriors Alumni Weekend, celebrating the team’s seven-year history in the BCHL. “When I came here I came from Kamloops where everybody knew who you were and it was over the top,” said Woznikoski, a 6-foot-5 blueliner and one of the most popular players in Warriors’ history. “When I came to Westside things were just starting to get rolling. We played in old Memorial Arena and it was a fun atmosphere. You could see people cared but they didn’t really know what it was all about.” One thing people did know, or hoped anyhow, was that they had a young star-in-the-mak-
tion to the Westside Community Food Bank while Westside Minor Hockey will also benefit and the Warriors alumni have established two scholarships to be handed out annually to a graduating player and former player who are attending school. For more information on the event and the Warriors alumni, check out www.warriorsalumni. wordpress.com. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com
Joel Woznikoski ing in Schultz, a West Kelowna native who arrived on the Warriors scene as a 15-year-old affiliate player that first year, and served notice he would be a player to watch, scoring a game-tying goal in Memorial in his first ever game. The next two years Schultz would be named the BCHL Interior Division’s top defenceman, playing alongside Woznikoski as the Warriors started play in Royal LePage Place in 2007-08. It’s the teammates that Schultz remembers best when thinking back on his first two years of junior, before moving on to the University of Wisconsin and now the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers. “I just think about the guys and creating lifelong friendships,” said Schultz of his seasons with the Warriors. “It was a couple of the best years of my life. When I went to college I missed the junior life of just hanging out with the guys. It was a great couple years for me. This weekend it’s going to be just like old times, back in those Westside days.” While Schultz and Woznikoski are linked by
those early years, their careers have gone in different directions. Schultz is beginning an NHL career after his rookie season in Edmonton, while Woznikoski is beginning a career as a firefighter after playing two years of hockey at SAIT in Calgary (with a handful of other Warriors alumni) and after graduating with his firefighting ticket from the Justice Institute of B.C. It was the absence from hockey that got Woznikoski thinking about the Warriors alumni. “Just starting the firefighting thing I knew I wasn’t going to be a part of any hockey scene for quite awhile,” he said. “I just thought what better way to get to spend some time with the guys and do it for a good cause. Guys always want to get together and do all these things but it takes time and commitment. An event like this is a great way to put something towards a good cause and see everybody again.” With that in mind, Woznikoski began working with the Warriors to plan the event and figure

As a player Woznikoski once pledged to donate money for every goal the team scored, kicking off a fundraising campaign that would eventually raise $18,000 for cancer research when all was said and done. “That really opened my eyes as to what could happen with an event like this,” he said. “After I finished school and I realized I wasn’t playing hockey anymore I had some spare time to work on something like this. The response has been extremely positive because everybody had such a great experience in Westside. Sometimes guys left on bad terms or were
traded away but it was always one of those places guys wanted to come back to in the summer.” Other Warriors expected to attend the Warriors Alumni Weekend is original head coach Mark Howell, now at the University of Calgary, as well as new alumni Max French, another West Kelowna native and the Warriors’ captain last season, who will start his NCAA career at the Bentley University this fall. “It’s only been a little while and I’m already missing the rink,” said French who played four seasons for the Warriors. “It’s going to be fun.

Okanagan Athletics rake in medals at Kamloops meet Close to 50 athletes from the Okanagan Athletics Club (OAC) went to Kamloops earlier this month, competing in the
2013 Kamloops Centennial Meet combining for 110 medals between them. Highlights of the meet
included Reece Walsh setting a new meet record in the 300 metre run, winning in a time of 39.29 seconds.
Kamloops Centennial Meet Records were also set by Adam Murray in the 2,000m steeplechase (6:51.92), by Davis

Hughes-Geekie in the 800m (2:06.8), by Taryn O’Neill in the 800m (2:35.28), and by Sean Bergman in the Midget 2,000m race (6:17.27). The 12 year-old girls 4x100m relay team of Brooklyn Larusson, Mackayla Sader, Melissa Tinambacan and Kezia Kellet also set a new meet record with a time of 61.06s. Not to be outdone, the 12-year-old boys 4x100m relay team of Jake Semeniuk, Dane Martin, Noah Russell and Gabe Uhrich also set a new meet record crossing the line at 59.77s. OAC sprinters lit up the track with several gold medal runs. Gold medallists included Ashton Thorpe (11 yr old girls) 60m, 100m and 200m, Dane Martin (12 yr old boys) 100m, 200m, Reece Walsh (15 yr old boys) 100m, 300m, Maggie Minkus (13 yr old girls) 100m, and Kennedy Kneller (youth girls) 400m. In the hurdles, Kezia Kellet (12 yr old girls) won gold in both the 60m and the 200m hurdles. Ely Kokayko (10yr old girls) won the 60m hurdles, Noah Russell (12 yr old boys) was the gold med-
allist in the 80m hurdles and Tansy Kellet won the 14-year-old girls 200m hurdles event. There was a strong weekend showing from the OAC mid-distance group who took home a total of 16 gold medals, four silver medals, and one bronze. Multiple firstplace finishes were recorded by 17-year-old Jon Gay (1500m and 3000m), 16-year-old Adam Murray (800m, 1500m and 2000m steeplechase), 16-year-old Veronika Fagan (1500m and 2000m steeplechase), 15-yearold Davis Hughes-Geekie (300m, 800m and 1200m), 14-year-old Jacob Bourchier (800m, 1200m and 2000m) and 13-year-old Taryn O’Neill (800m, 1200m and 2000m). Cassie Laturnus was also impressive in the Youth 800m, running 2:19.76 to go under 2:20.0 for the second time in a week. Teammate 14-year-old Shola Fashanu bounced back from injury to win the 1500m steeple chase (5:43.32) and take the silver in the 1200m in a quick 3:58.92. Dane Martin dominated the jumps winning gold medals in both the high jump and the long jump (4.68m). Drew Schultz
jumped well over his height (1.90m) to win the junior men’s high jump. Ely Kokayko won the 10yr old girls high jump, Nevena Simeunovic won gold in the 14-yearold girls long jump, and Katie Maryschuk (junior women) won the pole vault competition. Gold medallists in the discus throw include Ashton Thorpe, Jayden Lalonde, Kezia Kellet and Jake Semeniuk. Six Okanagan Athletics Club athletes won gold medals in the javelin throw: Jayden Lalonde, Kezia Kellet, Dane Martin, Heje Suh, Austin Sandrin, and Katie Maryschuk. The OAC’s James Turner (now a first year senior athlete) returned from Toronto to compete in the decathlon at the Kamloops Centennial meet in an attempt to qualify for the Summer Universiade (FISU) in Kazan, Russia and the Francophone Games in Nice, France in September). With a personal best, gold-medal-winning points total of 7,024 points, Turned reached the qualification standard for the Francophone Games, but fell just short of the FISU standard.

KELOWNA Jays new head coach Paul Gehring says he wants to play an aggressive style this summer with the Jays baseball players. Baseball League and exhibition games under the eye of Gehring, along with assistant/playing coach Jared Johnson. The team will be a mix of local players, players from the Okanagan College Coyotes and some other CCBC teams, a couple of American players as well as veteran Jays such as Cory Smith and Brett Sanguin. For Gehring, the chance to be a head coach and continue to develop as a bench boss was what brought him to Kelowna. “I think it’s a great opportunity to be a head coach and do things the
way I want to do it,” he said. “This is going to make me a better coach. I started coaching right when I got out of college and this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.” A catcher as a player, Gehring played four years of NAIA baseball at York College in Nebraska and earned a masters in sports administration along the way. He has coached in various summer baseball leagues during an eight year coaching career and has also coached in the Kelowna Jays tournament as an assistant with Thurston County. He says he’s looking forward to spend-

When Paul Gehring stepped onto the bus and joined the rest of the Kelowna Jays baseball team on its way to Trail last weekend, he was one of several new faces on the Jays roster. In fact, the 30-yearold newly-hired coach had just arrived in Kelowna and hadn’t even met the players he would be coaching over the next two months. “I got in Friday night and jumped right on the bus the next morning,” said Gehring, who is an assistant coach at Edmunds Community College in Lynnwood, Washington during the fall and spring seasons. “It was a little weird at first. I’m a young guy and at first some of the guys thought I was a player and were asking me what position I play. I had to say ‘I’m the coach.’ It was an easy transition though, once we played a game out there and got one under our belts, everyone meshed together.” The Jays will play a 20 game Pacific International League (PIL) schedule this year as well as games in the Okanagan Major
ing the summer in Kelowna working with the Jays’ players. “We’re going to go out and play some good quality teams this year and I expect to compete against all of them,” he said. “Kamloops, Seattle, they have good teams and I expect us to be able to compete against the high level teams.” As for style of play, Gehring says his team will play an aggressive style and put pressure on the opposition. “I really want to have a team that wants to play hard, wants to hustle on and off the field and plays the game the right way,” he said. “Strategy wise, I want to put pressure on people, put the game in motion and see where it takes us.” The Jays will host its 10th annual Canada Day baseball tournament June 27 through July 1st at Elks and will also host the B.C. Junior Baseball Championships July 19 to 21 this year. This weekend the Jays are home for four games at Elks Stadium playing Trail and Langley on Saturday (1 and 4 p.m.) before hosting Seattle on Sunday (2 and 4:30 p.m.)

▼ LARRY CHALMERS
Our community has lost a loyal, long-time friend K ‘‘ elowna, and the province of British Columbia, lost a loyal friend and fine fellow earlier this month with the death of Larry Chalmers. Few people have given so much for their community and did so in a humble and focused manner. Long-time Kelowna residents will remember Chalmers as a sound family and community minded man who chased visions, listened well to others, and worked hard and passionately for causes he supported. He was a huge supporter of the downtown core and actively involved in various community and business events over the years. I am not sure how I missed the news that Chalmers had passed
HODGE PODGE
Charlie Hodge away on May 2, at the age of 68. Thankfully his long-time associate and buddy Vern Boehlke informed me about it last week. To suggest Chalmers will be dearly missed by his family and the community of friends that surrounded him seems trivial, however it is very true. Chalmers truly was a ‘warm and generous man’ with a very quick wit and an infectious sense of humour. He never really stopped working to make the Okanagan a better
place to live. Among his many years of community service, Chalmers was an Okanagan MLA (named minister of agriculture, fisheries and food), served as president of the Okanagan Mainland Real Estate Board, president of the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, and chair of the Economic Development Commission. He was a well known and respected real estate agent for almost 50 years specializing in commercial real estate and land. However, despite his love for work and community, there was no question that his first and greatest passion was family—holding a deep love for his daughters Jennifer and Nicole whom he bragged to everyone were the most treasured part of his life.
(LARRY CHALMERS) NEVER REALLY STOPPED WORKING TO MAKE THE OKANAGAN A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE.
Despite his dedication to family and work, Chalmers was also free spirit in many ways and loved to travel the country on his motorcycles. In later years, he practically lived on his Gold Wing, and served as chapter director of the Gold Wing Road Riders Association. Chalmers is survived by his loving daughters

I will arrive in my electric wheelchair, and my speech is slurred.

The best five skills that you can teach your dog Elsa Larsen CONTRIBUTOR
When I began my dog training career in 1997, I started out by training service dogs. A service dog is an animal that has been trained to assist his disabled partner with such specialized tasks as picking up dropped items, finding lost keys or even reminding their partner to take their medications. It takes many months and hundreds of hours
worth of training to teach the skills that a dog will need to become a service dog. While most pet dog owners don’t require that level of training for their dog, I do believe that the average canine owner would like their dog to have the same kind of self-restraint that any person with a disability expects from his or her working dog. Here is my list of the five most critical skills I would want any dog to

DEFAULT SIT
The very first thing I would teach any new canine charge is a default sit. I’ll be honest here— I’m not crazy about dogs that jump all over me. Not many people are, even the most enthusiastic dog lover. Bearing that in mind, I would start right away to teach my dog that it is more beneficial to sit rather than to jump. Sitting is incompatible with jumping. A dog simply cannot sit and jump at the same time. To do this, I would first want to set the dog up so that he or she can’t make many (or preferably any) paws on people mistakes.

dog interaction. It means that you no longer have to worry about whether your dog will jump on someone because she/he can’t. Next, I would begin the task of teaching the sit. I would want to make sure that I always had some very high value rewards on hand to help ensure that my dog will want to work with me even if there are exciting things happening all around him or her. Since my goal is to teach the dog to automatically sit whenever new people appear, I would refrain from telling or asking my dog to sit (he/she might not choose to respond anyway and I wouldn’t want to inadvertently teach my dog to ignore my commands), but rather allow the dog to explore his or her options. Each time the dog chose to sit, I would follow that sit with a tasty treat because I understand
that any behaviour that is rewarded should happen more often. You need to be patient during this process. It can take a bit of time before the dog figures out that it is the sitting that is getting him the tasty treats. Once my dog became more reliable about responding to each new person that came along with a sit, I would begin to work on teaching my dog or pup to maintain his or her sit for longer and longer periods of time.
CHILL ON A MAT
This is one of my favourite skills to teach. The idea is that you will be able to send your dog over to a portable mat (like a bath mat or towel) where he or she will lie down and remain until released.
COME
We all want our dogs to come when called but
a lot of dogs that I work with just don’t. They are completely unreliable. You need to teach your dog that it is totally worth giving up whatever he or she is engaged with to come running to you. It is important to reinforce this behaviour every time with a super tasty treat (if your dog is food motivated) or a game of tug (if your dog is play motivated). If your dog isn’t reliable, work on this skill with your dog on a long leash and then inside an enclosed area before ever trusting him off leash. If your dog does not come when he or she is called, whatever you do, don’t nag him. Repeating commands is the quickest way to teach your dog to ignore you. Go and get her/him and go back to working with the dog on a line until

Make sure your tires are ready for summer highway driving
Be tire smart by makting sure your tires have osufficient tread depth and nare properly inflated. With the summer driving season nearly upon yus, Canada’s tire makers owant drivers to get into the groove with their tires by smeasuring tread depth. Why is tread depth important? When even a -moderate summer thuntder storm strikes, the tracrtion and stopping capabilities of tires nearing the end of their service life can be substantially reduced, particularly at !highway speeds. e Sufficient tread depth ois what allows tires to kgrip rain covered roads and provide the traction erequired for control and braking capability. n As every driver who -has ever had to make ea panic stop on a rainslicked highway knows, the ability to stop quickly can spell the difference between a stressful driving experience and a serious collision. When the tread becomes too worn and the tread grooves become too shallow, a tire’s ability to efficiently evacuate water is considerably reduced. This can lead to hydroplaning where the tire loses contact with the road’s surface and floats on top of the water, resulting in a loss of tire grip or traction. When this occurs, the distance needed to stop in a panic braking situation increases significantly. Hydroplaning, which is extremely dangerous, can also result in a complete loss of control. A recent U.S. tire study, conducted by Tire Rack, demonstrates how dramatically stopping distances can increase on wet roadways depending on tire wear. The study measured panic stopping distan-
Measuring tread depth Measuring tread depth is a simple procedure. Here’s how: The most precise method is to use an inexpensive tread wear indicator, basically a small ruler. To measure tread depth, simply rest the gauge shoulder on the tread, extent the ruler or “pin” to the deepest part of the tread groove and take the reading. Motorists can also give their treads the “Bluenose” test. This is done by inserting a dime upside down into the tread groove. If the top portion of the Bluenose’s sails is visible, it is time to replace the tire. Tire makers recommend an easy, four-step approach to proper tire inflation: Step One Identify the right air pressure for your tires by referring to the vehicle placard. Check the owner’s manual for its exact location. Never rely on a visual inspection. A tire can be under or over inflated by 20 per cent or more and not be noticeable. Step Two To get an accurate reading, use a reliable tire gauge and remember to only measure pressure when your tires are cold. If you have been driving, wait three hours before measuring tire pressure. Step Three Remove the cap from the valve stem, press the tire gauge onto the valve and take the pressure reading using a reliable tire gauge. Step Four Add air until the recommended air pressure is achieved. If you overfill the tire, release air by pushing on the metal stem in the centre of the valve, then re-check the pressure. Learn more, visit www.betiresmart.ca. ces at highway speeds on wet asphalt (equivalent to a moderate rain shower), comparing new tires with partially and fully worn tires. Not surprisingly, the shortest stopping distance was on new tires with 10/32nds of an inch (8 mm) of tread depth. In the demonstration, tires three quarters worn to a tread depth of 4/32nds of an inch (3.2 mm) increased the stopping distance, taking a further seven car lengths to stop. On fully worn tires with tread depth at the legal limit of 2/32nds of an inch(1.6 mm), the stopping distance was lengthened by yet another seven car lengths.
Training tips for dogs Teach from A32 how handy that would be. In closing, remember to dedicate some time to training your dog or pup. It’s not fair to get angry with your dog for misbehaving if you haven’t taken the time to teach your dog what is expected of him or her. No matter which skills you find important for your dog to learn, understand that behaviours
need to be rewarded often and well. You will need to limit your dog’s opportunity to make the wrong choices by using better management-head halters or nopull harnesses for a dog who pulls, leashes and tethers for jumpers and long lines for a dog who won’t come when he or she is called. Elsa Larsen is a dog trainer and deals with behaviour issues.
This study shows that, over the first three quarters of tire tread life, the stopping distance can increase by seven car lengths. It also illustrates how stopping distance can lengthen further over the last one quarter of tread life (from 4/32nds (3.2 mm) to 2/32nds (1.6 mm) of an inch) by another seven car lengths. Most tire makers generally recommend that drivers replace their tires before the legal limit of tread wear is reached to ensure their vehicle’s tires always have excellent stopping power, particularly on wet road surfaces. “Keeping track of your tires’ tread depth by taking regular measure-
ments is vital to safety and making an informed decision about when to replace your tires,” said Glenn Maidment, president of The Rubber Association of Canada, which represents tire makers. “Motorists who are unsure if their tread depth is sufficient for wet driving conditions should consult their local tire professionals.” Proper tire inflation is a safe driving essential in all driving conditions. Tire under-inflation increases stopping distance and hampers performance by lessening vehicle stability, particularly when cornering. Tire makers strongly recommend that drivers measure their tire pressures monthly to ensure they are always inflated to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendation. “Taking five minutes each month to measure and, if necessary, adjust your tire pressures safeguards optimal tire performance,” said Maidment. “Beyond being the leading cause of tire failure and premature wear, under-inflation also wastes fuel and harms the environment.” An under-inflated tire wastes fuel because it does not roll as easily as it was intended. The increased rolling resistance, which worsens with the degree of under-inflation, requires the vehicle’s motor to burn more fuel to push the vehicle down the road. According to the RAC research, a motorist who drives 20,000 kilometres per year can save as much as $100 in fuel simply be ensuring their tires are inflated to the right pressure. For drivers who log many more kilometres over the course of a year the saving can be con-

If you’re not going to re-use them, those plastic flowerpots and plant trays can all be recycled. Everything from large nursery flowerpots for shrubs and trees to small planting trays for annual bedding plants, perennials, vegetables and herbs can all be recycled. Simply rinse or wipe out the dirt and put the plastics in your recycling cart. These plastic pots and trays can also be taken to your nearest recycling depot. “All household plastics #1 through #7 are accepted in the curbside recycling program and these plastics from your plants are no different,” said waste reduction facilitator Rae Stewart. “Just ensure your garden pots or trays are cleaned of all dirt before you recycle them. Unfortunately, the little plastic tags that identify the plants can’t be recycled— they’re too small for workers at Cascades Recovery to pick up off a moving conveyor, so the tags go into regular garbage.” Deanne Stephenson, operations manager of Cascades Recovery (the facility where all our recycling ends up for sorting) adds: “The markets where the plastics are shipped to for recycling are watching closely for quality issues, so keeping the plastics clear of dirt, wooden stakes, metal twist ties or other contaminants is essential. Any help residents can provide in this would be welcome.” Businesses like nurseries, landscape design contractors and farmers with larger volumes can contact Cascades Recovery at 250-491-2242 to arrange for the recycling of their plastics.

Piecing together the ancient art of mosaics in Ravenna, Italy Jane Friedmann CONTRIBUTOR
RAVENNA, Italy—The Italian mosaic master sat poised behind her small, wooden work stand, a log placed on end and embedded with a small, sharp steel tool. She held a piece of marble no larger than a stamp against that axe-like tool and struck it with a hammer, cutting it into progressively smaller cubes. Tink. Tink. Tink. Luciana Notturni had no need to look as the pointed hammer swiftly descended into the tiny gap between finger and thumb. Her body knew the drill. In no time, she had eight or so perfect little cubes resting in the palm of her hand. Her gaze fell on her students, and with a slight smile she
shrugged, as if to say, “See, that’s all there is to it.” We looked at those cubes with pursed lips and furrowed brows, likely harbouring a shared sentiment: “How many fingers am I going to lose by the time this class is over?” Notturni’s full-time students at a nearby mosaic-restoration academy in Ravenna, Italy, must spend four months perfecting their cutting techniques before they can construct a mosaic. The eight women who had signed up for her five-day crash course held at Notturni’s studio—myself included—had about four hours. Fear of digit damage wouldn’t hold me back during the class, an intensive introduction to the traditional techniques of the Byzantine artists of the fifth and sixth centuries. In recent years, I’d experimented with using tiny preformed squares of Italian glass, but that was a little like resorting

Three sisters, all New England artists, came to bond on their first “real trip” together. The following morning, we arrived to find that instructors working with Notturni had transferred our designs onto hydrated lime, a base that stays malleable. Glass tiles, called smalti, were also arranged in bowls next to easel-mounted lime slabs.

Little piles of mistakes accumulated on our work stands and in the far recesses of the room.

four engines, the most popular of which (41 per cent of all F-150 sales) is the turbocharged 3.5-litre EcoBoost V6 that puts out 365 hp and 420 lb/ft of torque. With that kind of torque, the 3.5-litre can haul up to 11,300 lb (5,126 kg) but with a fuel economy rating of 12.9/9.0L/100 km (22, 31 mpg) city-highway. The other popular engine is a 6.2-litre single overhead camshaft V8 with 411 hp and 434 lb/ft of torque with the same towing capacity as the EcoBoost. Fuel rating here is 16.5/11/0L100 km (17/26 mpg). The most economical engine is a 3.7-litre V6 with 302 hp and 278 lb/ft of torque using 12.6/8.7L/100 km (22/32 mpg). The fourth power plant is a 5.0-litre V8 with 360 hp and 380 lb/ft of torque that gets 14.1/9.7L/100 km (20/29 mpg). All four engines are hooked up to a six-speed automatic transmission. Of course, the F-150 is primarily about towing and the numbers are pretty impressive. The 3.7-litre is rated at 2,800 kg (6,100 lb); the 5.0-litre at 4,500 kg (10,000 lb); the 6.2-litre at 5,126 kg (11,300 lb) and the 3.5-litre at a similar 5,126 kg (11,300 lb). Payloads vary, but the 3.5-litre can handle a hefty 1,415 kg (3,120 lb). To prove the towing point, one of the exercises in Drumheller had my co-driver and myself in a 3.5-litre EcoBoost with
a 9,000 lb backhoe on a trailer hooked on the back. The drive took us not just on the highway, but through downtown Drumheller with trailer back swing an issue in the tight streets. Not only was this accomplished with no sweat, but after unhooking the trailer, we drove it back 150 km to the airport in Calgary proving that double duty is not a F-150 problem. As mentioned if you don’t count the SVT Raptor off-road dedicated version of the F-150, there are eight models to chose from with the price walk starting at the XL, STX, XLT, FX2/FX4, Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Limited. Because of the myriad ways to order a F-150 and even differences from dealer to dealer the best way to look at pricing is to give the “starting at” prices which are: XL, $19,999; STX, $27,299; XL, $30,199; FX2 $39,899; FX4, $45,799; Lariat 4X2, $45,299; Lariat 4X4, $49,499; King Ranch, $60,499 and Platinum, $61,099. At the top of the ladder and new this year is the Limited ($64,799) which includes all the lux items found on the Lariat and adds a wonderful leather interior in a brickred hue with flow-through centre console with leather-trimmed lid and laser-engraved serialization plate, and floor shifter with leather-wrapped knob with front bucket seats carrying cloisonne seat back badges

XV Crosstrek Touring brings Subaru back down to size Rob Beintema CONTRIBUTOR
I have to admit that I didn’t get it, at first. In the spring of 2012, I watched them pull the . sheet off the new 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek at the New York Auto Show. n The 2013 Subaru XV r Crosstrek, now at Cane adian dealers, is a fivedoor, five passenger vehicle based on the Imo preza compact sedan platform. e It follows the curo rent crossover recipe, dey signed to blend all-wheel drive abilities and SUVlike utility and attitude, with the ride, handling and fuel efficiencies of a family car. And those of you in e k , , m
the know will recognize all of those ingredients as being part of something very similar - the Subaru Forester. But what, at first, seemed like a duplication of effort, really began to make sense once I thought about it. Because over the past 15 years the Forester, Subaru’s very first crossover, has matured and grown in both size and sophistication, shifting into the midsize market and offering an increasing amount of interior room and comfort, standard 2.5-litre motor and optional 2.0-litre turbo-powered engine choices, along with a wide variety of trim levels, technologies and equipment packages.
They say, “Nature abhors a vacuum.” Well, so do car companies. So, with Forester moving steadily up the evolutionary ladder, Subaru was able to slot a new entry-level crossover into the bottom of the lineup. Word is that the XV (for Crossover Vehicle) was actually designed for the tighter confines of European roads. Those continental customers have begun to belatedly jump onto the utility bandwagon. But North American dealers took one look at this perky new little crossover and also started pleading for a chance to sell it. Which is why Subaru Canada is offering the XV (with the added Crosstrek

THE 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Touring, a compact crossover with room for five and an affordable entry into a line-
up featuring Subaru’s trademark engineering components—boxer engine layout and standard symmetrical all-wheel drive. Black body cladding and design accents, along with uniquely designed, high relief 17-inch alloy wheels, set the XV Crosstrek apart.

name), in the fast-growing compact crossover segment, promising, in their words, “best-in-class fuel economy, everyday comfort, exceptional safety standards and the most in-demand convenience and entertainment features.” The 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek starts with all the right stuff—Subaru’s trademark mix of symmetrical full-time AllWheel Drive, a standard independent suspension
and the advantages of a low centre of gravity boxer engine layout. It’s not unfair to think of the XV Crosstrek as a jacked-up Impreza and, indeed, the 220 mm of ground clearance is higher than most other crossovers, even higher than some full-blown SUVs. But, following the old Outback formula, the XV Crosstrek further separates itself from Impreza sedans and hatchbacks with rugged styling ac-
cents - black side- and wheel-arch cladding, a black rocker spoiler and standard black roof rails that all contrast with the body colour. The front and rear bumpers, along with the front grille, are unique to the Subaru XV Crosstrek. Dark-tint privacy glass comes standard. And its macho attitude is completed with uniquely designed, high relief 17-inch alloy wheels that can’t be missed.
The final look-at-me shout for this lineup is the Tangerine Orange model, an over-the-top colour that adds a little fun and zest to the lineup. I had kept my fingers crossed for it but, as tested here, we have a slightly more subtle, deep purple version - technically Deep Cherry Pearl. Inside, passengers will find adequate room for five, extra comfort for

MOTORING
Engine tweaked for max performance–not neck-snapping Subaru from B3 four. The interior is pretty well standard issue Impreza, with all the usual sensible switching and instrumentation augmented by a 4.3-inch colour multi-function display in the centre of the dashboard. Luggage room is rated at 632 litres (1,470 litres with the standard 60/40-split rear seatbacks folded) and the cargo area come equipped with a standard retractable cover, along with tie-down and grocery bag hooks. The XV Crosstrek harnesses an FB 2.0-litre DOHC boxer engine that makes 148 hp at 6,200 rpm and 145 lb/ft of peak torque at 4,200 rpm. This engine has been tweaked to maximize performance and output and it even offers a 680 kg tow rating. It gets the job done but don’t expect neck-snapping acceleration. Fuel economy is rated at 8.2/6.0L/100km (city/ hwy) but, as usual, you should take those numbers with a grain of salt. A more exacting American EPA rating comes in a 9.4/7.1L/100km. And
after 500 km of mixed driving I refueled with 46 litre of gas for a real world combined average of 9.2L/100km. The 2.0-litre engine transmits power through a standard five-speed manual transmission or an available second-generation Lineartronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). The CVT automatic tranny is a $1,300 option. I would probably pick the five-speed manual for performance fun, the CVT for a slight edge on fuel economy, although the CVT does compensate with a simulated 6-speed manual mode operated via steering wheel paddle shifters. Subaru offers the 2013 XV Crosstrek in three trim levels - Touring, Sport and Limited. Among the standard features in the 2013 Subaru XV Crosstrek Touring ($24,495), as tested here, are a tilt/telescoping steering wheel with audio/phone/cruise/ info controls, power windows, power door locks and body coloured side mirrors, the 4.3-inch colour multi-function display
with fuel economy information, auto headlights, outside temp display, and a six-speaker audio system with Bluetooth mobile phone connectivity. Vehicle Dynamics Control, ABS disc braking with EBD and a hill holder system also come standard. A few creature comforts you might not usually expect in an entry-level offering include heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors and a windshield wiper de-icer. The Sport Package ($26,495) adds a rear roofline spoiler, power tilting and sliding sunroof, leather- wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, and High Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights. The Limited Package ($28,995) adds leather-trimmed upholstery, dual-zone automatic climate control, chrome door handles and body-colour door mirrors with LED-integrated turn signals. The in-dash navigation system features a 6.1-inch touchscreen LCD display with backup camera integration. Those trim level choices mixed with the inherent qualities of the XV
Unlimited appeal in F-150 Ford from B2
plus heated rear outboard seats. Interior trim continues with aluminum appliques on the centre panel and console ambient lighting, plus bright inserts in door sill scuff plates. There’s more but you get the picture that Ford sees the Limited as appealing to a whole range of buyers for whom driving home in a work truck is not the same is driving home and making a statement. I spent most of my time in a fully, and I mean fully, equipped King Ranch SuperCrew cab with four-wheeldrive finished in “Kodiak Brown” exterior paint and “Chapperal” beige leather interior. Ford says driving one of these really does make you feel like a king and it’s hard to disagree. The 5.0-litre V8 way out in front of the cabin was almost silent in operation even at highway speeds. With all those AlD berta highways running straight as laser beams to the horizon, plugging in the cruise control and just enjoying the ride seems
so much more satisfying than doing the same in an econocar. Anything that helps utility is appreciated in pickups and what stood out for me, literally, was the Box Side Step on each side near the front of the box and the Tailgate Step built into the tailgate. The former pops in and out with a nudge of the boot. It can support 500 lb and makes accessing a storage box of whatever simple. The latter deploys out when the tailgate is lowered so no one has to try and hop up onto the bed. Another interesting item was an available offroad monitor that shows a depiction of vehicle pitch, yaw (bank angle) and wheel direction. I have barely scratched the surface of the 2013 Ford F-150 pickup story. Obviously, the best advice I can give is to get the brochure, check out the website (ford.ca) and go to dealerships and take some time looking around. What you’ll find is there is a F-150 built for just about every need or reason and each one is “Built Ford Tough.”

Crosstrek offer Canadian consumers new choices in the compact crossover segment. And the XV Crosstrek is just getting started. One year after that first debut, I was back in New York for this spring’s unveiling of the 2014 XV Crosstrek Hybrid, Subaru’s first ever hybrid and an initial indicator of the expected slate of hybrids and new electric cars that we will begin to see from Subaru over the coming years. If past and present sales are any indication, the future looks bright for Subaru and the XV Crosstrek will probably play an important part in Subaru’s success.

isn’t really in the same ìclassî as its siblings. I haven’t yet driven the C 250, with its 1.8-litre turbo four (201 hp and 229 lb/ft), but will note that the C 350—in terms of power—did not disappoint. Under the hood is a direct-injection 3.5-litre V6 that delivers 302 hp and 273 lb/ft of torque. This is a step up from 2011 where the same displacement provided only 268 hp and 258 lb/ft. Apparently the new mill even gets 10 percent better fuel economy. But achieving the rated fuel consumption has never been my strong point, as the C 350 rewards the right foot with a snappy throttle response and brisk, linear acceleration. Zero to 100 km/h arrives in just 6.0 seconds, and only 0.2 seconds slower in the 4Matic (allwheel-drive) model. Of course, that’s in driver-selectable ëSport’ mode, and yet Eco mode sdoesn’t entirely throw a gwet blanket on the fun. dThrottle response isn’t as brisk, and the 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic

shifts a little earlier, but this default setting is still somewhat lively. The Eco start/stop function can at first be unsettling, as most people don’t expect this in a non-hybrid vehicle. When the C Coupe comes to a stop, it will shut off the engine, with power delivered by a starter motor that doubles as a generator. The engine comes back to life when you lift the brake, and does so with less of a shudder than in the BMW 3 Series. Still, if you don’t like it (and aren’t bothered about the fuel savings), start/ stop can be disabled. But the C-Class is not all about driving dynamics, and the lack of a manual gearbox is testament that it’s targeted more at the executive than at the enthusiast. Consequently, the car comes chock-a-block with thoughtful conveniences. Here’s one that helped me overlook the missing proximity key and pushbutton start, which should have been standard at this price point. Flop the driver’s seatback forward and the en-
tire unit automatically glides ahead, leaving ample room to climb in and out. Flop it back (another one-handed operation) and it silently returns to position—and at
the same recline angle. In back are a pair of buckets, with no centre position, where you can sit comfortably with plenty of leg room. What I can’t figure out is how
M-B carved out the head room. The rear seat cushions seem a little higher than in front, and with the steeply raked roofline, you’d expect them to accommodate only the ver-
tically challenged. I’m five-foot-nine and had room to spare. Throughout the interior of my tester, and as part of the $1,450 Sport Package, was Artico/Di-
namica leather upholstery with red contrast stitching. This combo really set off the front sports

seats, as the suede-like inserts, flanked by large faux-leather bolsters, not
only look great, but really grab you in the corners. The panoramic sunroof, which spans both rows of seating, is made
of solar glass to cut down on heat transfer. A nice feature in the dead of winter, but with temperatures on the rise, not to men-
tion the car’s black interior, it kept the passenger cabin like a sauna—even with the perforated shade drawn.

Ergonomics are well thought out with, for example, positioning of the Comand knob is just where your hand drops from the centre armrest. Comand is the system that combines audio, phone and navigation in a user-friendly interface on seven-inch display. The knob acts much like a computer mouse. But I won’t dwell on the techy stuff, most of which can be had in the competition, and even in cars costing thousands less. And it’s probably not why you’d buy a Mercedes. Sure, there’s the cachet of M-B’s iconic logo—even a lowly journalist feels like a captain of industry behind the three-pointed star. But there’s more to it than stroking the ego. Mercedes-Benz embodies craftsmanship, and it’s apparent in the car’s bankvault construction—absent of squeaks and rattles—and its rock-solid composure. Take one for a spin and you’ll see what I mean.

GREEN, DONALD (DON) ROSS JULY 18, 1920 – MAY 28, 2013
Don was born in New Westminster and spent his later youth in England. Shortly before the war Don enlisted in the Royal Navy, training as a radio telegrapher. He served in several theatres of war latterly as a submariner in SE Asia. Following the war he tried a number of occupations, working hard to support his wife and family of 4 children. Finding a use for his radio skills in aviation, he eventually became a pilot, working in both the UK and Middle East. His flying career culminated in becoming Chief Pilot and Operations Manager in Libya. Retiring from flying, he came “back home” to Kelowna where he became a successful and well-known realtor. In his 60s he met and married Helen with whom he enjoyed 32 years of happiness. Don was a warm and friendly person, always willing to lend a hand. He valued his friends most highly. He will be truly missed by both his family & friends. A celebration of Don’s life will be held Thursday, June 6th at 2:30 pm at Springfield Funeral Home, 2020 Springfield Rd., Kelowna.

SPALL, DORIS Independent lady, Mother, Friend, Grandma, Friend, Great-Grandma, Aunt, Friend and Cat Fancier died in the early hours of Sunday, April 7th. She was 91.Born in Armstrong, the youngest of four daughters, Doris lived in the Okanagan, a place she loved and happily shared with her five children, each of whom returned during her later years. Doris is survived by her four children, Nancy Branch (Don), Deborah Cochrane (Larry), Lori Perdue, Jamie Spall (Maureen) and son-in-law Henk DeRoos. Grandchildren Tyler Ballam (Sophie), Brett Ballam, Chris Cochrane (Terra), Kelsey Cochrane (boyfriend Jake), Faith and Darci Perdue. Three Great grandchildren; Jenson Cochrane, Ethan, Emmalyn and special niece Kerri Sutherland as well as the final of her feline companions Penny, who now lives with the Branchs. Doris was saddened by the early deaths of her daughter Jennifer DeRoos, grandson Connor Cochrane and the father of her children, Bob Spall. Doris was an RN, graduating from Royal Columbian in 1945, a career that helped her as well as the many people she helped over her 40 years of nursing. Working on Maternity at KGH, she knew so many of her children’s peers and she never forgot anyone, nor was she easily forgotten. Her contagious laugh and smile connected her permanently with the community. Doris excelled at friendship, a trait that came naturally. She made friends easily and once a friend, always a friend. Doris’s long time, special friends, Betty, Ruth and Sylvia will attest to that! She had many close girlfriends whom she cherished as they journeyed through good times and tough times: working, marriage and raising children. Her nursing buddies were gold and she never missed a class re-union, no matter how tight the money or time. She loved to find that perfect card. She chose gifts thoughtfully and she loved to write and receive letters.She loved to bake special treats and did for a chosen few, year after year. As her eyesight failed in later years, she relied on friends and family to help her with these acts of kindness. The family would like to extend gratitude to the staff and volunteers at Brookhaven for the love, humanity and care beyond compassion they showed during her time there.Throughout her life Doris generously donated, what she could to a variety of charities. As a living legacy, in lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to a charitable organization of your choice.The memorial service will be June 8, 2013 at 10:00AM at St. David’s Presbyterian Church, 271 Snowsell, Kelowna. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.
Passed away on May 27, 2013. He was born on May 21, 1943 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. Jim is survived by his wife Helen of 50 years, their two children Sherri (Ross), and Jay (Leah) and 7 grandchildren Ronnie, Kelsey Cody, Chad, Joshua, Gracie and Joey. Also survived by his brothers and sisters, Ann (Bob), Mary (Orest), Margaret (Allan), Tom (Deb) and Frank (Gale). Jim was also greatly loved by 11 nieces and nephews and 7 great nieces and nephews. The family expresses their sincere thanks to the Doctors and nurses at the Kelowna General Hospital ICU. By request, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers you may make a donation to the charily of your choice.

ike a tidal wave heading our way from Canada’s east coast is coming the promise and high hope for British Columbia’s future real estate market. It has been recorded by the Calgary Real Estate Board that sales are up in that city. As of May 28, there have been 414 MLS sales in that market, up 7.25 per cent from the same period a year ago. The median price has REAL ESTATE moved up by 3.3 per cent RUNDOWN to $360,500 while the average sale price has increased by 7.53 per cent to $402,102. When we see other Ceiwen larger east coast cities exMorgan periencing an increase in sales, that usually indicates the possible real estate market trend that we may eventually experience. Perhaps it still might take a year or so for the wave of real estate sales to get here, but the comfort is that knowing that there is light at the end of the tunnel—it is not all doom and gloom for B.C.’s economy. An analysis for the Royal Bank of Canada recently stated that homeownership remains largely affordable and low interest rates offer an appealing opportunity for home buyers to jump into the market. However, the affordability reading on a bungalow in Vancouver has deteriorated slightly to 82.3 per cent in the first quarter. There is still speculation that Vancouver may plummet another 25 per cent in sale prices Despite some of the more negative real estate reports, Canada Finance Minister Jim Flaherty recently stated with confidence in regards to the national real estate economy, “We don’t have a bubble.” Flaherty said steps he took to tighten mortgage lending rules over the past four years has helped to moderate price increases in the nation’s housing market. Agreeing with Flaherty’s changes to the mortgage rules making it more difficult for home buyers to take on too much debt to quickly, Adrienne Warren, of Scotiabank, says even with those tougher lending rules, low interest rates continue to encourage sales. Reported by Canadian Real Estate Association, CREA stated that sales of existing homes climbed 0.6 per cent in April from March, which trimmed the yearover-year decline to 3.1 per cent. These are all contributing factors welcoming a more stable future for the Canadian economy and a future without a fear of a bubble bursting. Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.
