VICTORY for ‘Team Okanagan’

By Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

Norm Letnick wore a Kelowna Rockets jersey when he opened his campaign office Saturday, April 6. The choice to wear the hockey shirt didn’t seem out of the ordinary at the time, but in hindsight, was highly symbolic. Three days earlier the Kelowna Rockets

YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE LIVING HERE.

made history by coming back from a three-game deficit to defeat the Seattle Thunderbirds in seven games. With Rockets’ captain Colton Sissons sidelined, and six other key players injured, it took a team effort to accomplish what only one other WHL squad has ever been able to do. On April 6, while wearing the Ogopogo on his chest, and with fellow local Liberal

incumbents Ben Stewart and Steve Thomson standing next to him, Letnick told supporters how much “Team Okanagan” has been able to accomplish for the region over the past four years. “Team Okanagan” was repeated often throughout the campaign, usually just before “cardiac surgical centre,” “replant program,” or “new highway.” The team effort resulted in a

comfortable victory. The trio will represent the Okanagan for four more years after Letnick, Stewart and Thomson all earned at least 55 per cent of their ridings’ vote. And while that result wasn’t a shock to many, the BC Liberals’ come-from-behind triumph provincially was perhaps equally as surprising as what the Rockets had accomplished 41days earlier.

Steve Thomson, Kelowna-Mission

MLAs committed to team approach

from A1 Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson says his partnership with Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart and Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick began in 2009. “I think, since we were first elected, we’ve operated very effectively as a team,” says Thomson. Stewart suggests working with Thomson and Letnick makes his job easier. “At any time more than one of us can be busy with other duties in government,” says Stewart. “It makes certain there’s always somebody to deal with issues— it doesn’t matter if it’s in Norm’s or

Steve’s ridings, I’ll cover for them and vice-versa.” Letnick says conversations with constituents have led him to believe the pack mentality is best for residents as well. “We work as Team Okanagan because it’s in the best interest of our constituents,” says Letnick. “The boundaries are there legally, but in practice, we look at what’s in the best interest of the people and the region as a whole.” In 2010, Letnick, Stewart and Thomson sent out a newsletter asking constituents to rank 18 priorities that were suggested by mayors and community leaders throughout the region. The top five priorities were: Dir-

ect funding for water quality improvements, a new connector road between Glenmore Road and Highway 97, a strategic transportation plan that spans from Osoyoos to Salmon Arm, additional sidewalks and cycle paths and improvements to the intersection of Highway 97 and Sexsmith Road. According to Letnick, the only item in the top five that has yet to be addressed is the connector road. He adds 12 of the 18 priorities have either secured funding, are ongoing initiatives or have already been completed. He clarifies there is still a lot of work left to do on most of the 18 projects to bring them to official completion. But the MLAs are comfortable checking items off the list once prov-

incial funding is secured. “Once we’ve done the work of securing the funds and approvals then we go to the next project,” says Letnick, adding the trio hasn’t always been able to take on the highest ranking projects first. “I’ve discovered over the last four years, something might be a top priority, but there might not be a funding envelope available for it at a current time.” “It might not happen in the order that people might think it should happen, but that will be dependent on the funding available.” Items yet to be addressed on the original list include: Replacement of Rutland Middle School, creation of

a new Kelowna tourism centre, addition of a Glenmore recreation facility, replacement of Rutland Centennial Hall, creation of a business case for a Kelowna convention centre and development of a Glenmore-Highway 97 connector road. Letnick notes the list is constantly adapting and new items mentioned during this year’s election campaign are being considered. After several weeks spent on the campaign trail, the Okanagan MLAs have gained insight into what local residents are looking for from the province in each of their ridings.

A DEER checks out what the fuss is all about at a press conference to announce a new regional park along Powers Creek, attended by West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater (left) and RDCO board chair Robert Hobson.

downtown Westbank, crossing the creek at the imposing Powers Creek Falls Bridge, deep in the canyon below the busy commercial area and Westbank Town Centre Park. However, it won’t actually be open to the public until spring next year, to allow the connecting trail to be designed and built this year. West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater, a longtime resident of the area, noted there are a lot of memories in his community of the Powers Creek corridor. It’s a major creek that supplies irrigation and drinking water to the community, he noted. Ultimately, he said the goal is to include creekside property all the way from Glenrosa to the waterfront, on both sides of Highway 97, and there are still a few gaps in that vision. Following the official announcement on the banks of the muddy, swirling creek, Sheri Sweet of regional parks took a group on a bit of a tour of the property, pointing out the varied flora and fauna along the way, including some obliging deer. The project is part of a $9.1 million fund accumulated over the past five years. This year alone, Hobson noted the district has announced the addition of more than 37 hectares of land with almost $8.3 million, and another 800 hectares was added through the regional district’s partnership with the Central Okanagan Land Trust, to create the Johns Family Nature Conservancy Regional Park. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

MLAs eager to fulfill their list of spending priorities Approach from A3 Stewart says a Westside health centre, protection of the Rose Valley watershed and more public consultation on issues that matter to residents are top concerns among citizens in Westside-Kelowna. He agrees the lines of communication—especially regarding situations like the controversial proposed land swap with Westbank First Nation in 2011—should be strengthened in the future. “I regret that we weren’t able to do a better job on public consultation on a couple items,” says Stewart. “I want to make certain that we do a much better job of bringing constituents (into the process).” Thomson says high priorities in Kelowna-Mission revolve around water infrastructure, balanced economic development and construction of a school in the Upper Mission. “Those were on our list before and we’ll look forward to continuing to work on those.” Letnick says the relationship between government and teachers, emergency services at KGH and pipeline development were topics of discussion on the doorsteps he visited in Kelowna-Lake Country. “I heard there’s general support for the priorities that we’ve set out. Cardiac surgery is com-

ing to Kelowna and we’ll have 600 operations per year once it’s open— there’s a lot of support for that,” says Letnick. When the three Okanagan MLAs go back to Victoria, their party will still be in power. But prior to Tuesday night, most polls predicted that wouldn’t be the case. At one point, Agnus Reid Public Opinion Polling had the New Democratic Party as 20-point favourites. Even hours before the election, most polls showed the NDP with at least a sixpoint lead. When asked whether or not Team Okanagan would be nearly as effective working in opposition, all three MLAs agree they’re happy that’s a situation they don’t have to face. “I think the roles to advocate strongly for our constituents would’ve been the same, but the challenge would be that we wouldn’t be on the government’s side to make those decisions,” says Letnick. Thomson concurs: “Being part of government is going to help us hopefully be successful on the priorities that we’ve developed.” It’s impossible to say whether or not the Okanagan Liberal MLAs’ pack mentality increased the number of votes in their favour Tuesday. But Thomson thinks the strategy is one that appeals to the majority of Okanagan

residents. “We ran our campaign based on the team approach and collectively what we feel we’ve contributed and benefitted for the Okanagan. “I think having that continued teamwork and friendship that we have developed is going to stand us in good stead going forward into the next term.”

With concern about the low overall voter turnout in Tuesday’s provincial election growing, locally the number of votes cast in the three Central Okanagan could still surpass the 2009 total. Absentee and out-of-riding votes for this area have yet to be counted and in all three local ridings—Kelowna-Mission, Kelowna-Lake Country and Westside-Kelowna—between 45 and 184 votes would make a difference. According to Don Main, spokesman for Elections B.C., absentee and out-of-province ballots will not be counted until the official final count is conducted later this month. The final count is slated to start May 27 and is expected to take about three days to complete, he said.

In 2009, Kelowna-Mission had a voter turnout of 50.68 per cent, while Kelowna-Lake Country and Westside-Kelowna had 47.25 per cent and 47.35 per cent turnouts respectively. As in 2009, the three Liberal candidates, Steve Thomson (Kelowna-Mission), Norm Letnick (Kelowna-Lake Country) and Ben Stewart (Westside-Kelowna) all easily won election, taking 56.95 per cent, 57.35 per cent and 58.85 per cent of the vote respectively in their ridings. Here are the preliminary vote totals for the candidates in all three ridings released Tuesday night:

The preliminary vote numbers released Tuesday night only include ballots cast during the advance polls May 8 to 11 and the ones cast on election day May 14. Voters had the opportunity to vote on any day during the 28day campaign. The preliminary total was 1.6 million ballots cast, approximately 52 per cent all eligible votes. Despite a push by Elections B.C. this year to increase the voter turnout from the paltry 51 per cent in 2009, voters did not flock to the polls in the huge numbers hoped for this time either. Voter turnout has been dropping since the 1990s, says Elections B.C. In Kelowna, an advance voting station was even set up at the airport for anyone passing through, a first in Canada.

Maintenance and Water Savings The spring weather being unpredictable can cause havoc with your watering schedule. Once your system is turned on again for the year, you can manually override your controller to avoid watering on wet days and save on the cost of water. Alternatively, you could look into one of the many rain sensors that are available on the market. There are wired and wireless versions of this type of a time and water saver. Rain Sensors are a great feature which can be added to most irrigation controllers, even if your current controller is not equipped to add a rain switch it can be done. Newer controllers have a port built into them to accommodate the rain sensor, those without a port such as older models are just wired in differently. Please give us a call and we would be more than happy to discuss the time saving and water saving options available to you. Spring weather also brings on sudden spring storms, along with thunder and lightning which can cause power outages. Start up of the irrigation season should also prompt you to remember to replace the battery on your controller which saves your start times and programming in the event of a power outage, it is frustrating once you have your system set to have to reprogram the entire thing because of a dead battery. If you still have problems or have another irrigation problem, please drop in to see us with a picture or the part in question and we will do our best to help you solve your problem. If you have any questions or would prefer the name of a contractor to assist you with a problem, call us or come in to see us, we are located by Bed, Bath and Beyond.

Spray park hours are 9 a.m. to dusk in July and August. The spray park is located in Westbank Centre Park, at the end of May Street, behind the Holiday Inn, Dairy Queen and Shell service station. Turn off Dobbin Road or Main Street (Highway 97 Couplet) at Hebert Road. Kids Care Spray Park offers 20 motion activated pieces of equipment including geysers, hoops,

shower towers and water cannons. The site also offers lots of open lawn space to spread out towels and blankets, shade trees, picnic tables and washrooms/change rooms. District of West Kelowna built the spray park in the summer of 2011 in partnership with the Rotary Club of Westbank, Okanagan Kids Care, Westbank First Nation and the West Kelowna Daybreak Rotary Club.

Police have ruled out foul play in mishap

POLICE believe this missing long board may be a clue

to how a Kelowna woman’s body ended up having to be recovered from Okanagan Lake on Monday. to Atwood Place, between Strathcona Park and the Maude Roxby Wetland in

the South Pandosy area, where a passerby had seen a woman’s body.

Police on the lookout for groper of women Police are looking for a young man who has been groping women while dressed in drag in Kelowna. On four separate occasions, dating back to August of last year, a man dressed in drag is reported to have approached women walking on the street, then groped and/or flashed the victim before

running away. The suspect is described as 20 to 30 years old, 5-foot-7 to 5-foot-10 tall with a slender build. He is always seen wearing tight fitting, women’s clothing and has worn either a long, dark-haired wig or a long, blonde-haired wig during the assaults. Two of the incidents

have occurred on Hwy 33 in Rutland and the other two incidents on Richter Street. Police are requesting the public’s assistance in helping identify this person. People may not have direct knowledge of these incidents, but may be aware of a friend or family member who dresses in

women’s clothing and fits the description of the assailant. The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to please call the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300. Remain anonymous by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or text to CRIMES (274637) ktown.

Look for this approval whenever you are purchasing propane appliances. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless, odourless, tasteless gas that is produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon fuels such as propane, natural gas, wood, charcoal, alcohol, kerosene or gasoline.

When portable fuel-burning appliances are used outdoors they are fine, but in an enclosed space—like a tent, RV, cottage or cabin—CO can become trapped, creating a hazardous and potentially lethal environment for anyone inside. Inhalation of CO interferes with the body’s ability to absorb oxygen,

Staying safe at the campground or cottage For many British Columbians, the Victoria Day long weekend marks the start of the summer recreation season; a time to clean out tents and RVs or open up cottages and cabins. Before heading out to your favourite campsite or retreat, please take some time to make sure your natural gas or propane appliances are in safe working order. Portable fuel burning appliances should only be used outside where they are properly ventilated. Also, read and understand the manufacturer’s certified instructions regarding the safe operation and maintenance of your appliances. BC Safety Authority (BCSA) recommends you carefully inspect all gas equipment prior to use and install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in your RV or recreational dwelling. When purchasing a CO alarm, look for one that is certified to the latest Canadian Standards Association (CSA) requirements, and follow the manufacturer’s instructions regarding installation and maintenance. In British Columbia, portable propane appliances are required to bear Canadian approval, typically to a CSA standard.

NDPer puts blame for loss squarely at party’s feet of clay

To the editor: I voted NDP and am disappointed at the election results. But I cannot say that I am surprised. In my view the NDP lost to the Liberals because of a mixture of groundless arrogance and quite stupefying incompetence. I think I began to see the writing on the wall as far back as two years ago upon meeting various NDP luminaries who were absolutely full of themselves and appeared quite dismissive of the opinions of others. Several NDP emails were sent to me either at the last minute or, so I found out, not sent at all. Invitations to pricey cocktail parties and dinners hardly fired up a working class NDP base. Too much middle class coffee clique ambiance was wafting through the NDP political ether. I tried myself to contact provincial and federal opera-

Clark’s win confounds the ‘experts’

he pollsters, pundits and the self-styled rebels of the B.C. Liberal Party were struggling for answers as their conventional wisdom went out the window on election night. In came the B.C. Liberals and Christy Clark for a fourth term, with a 50-seat majority that is stronger than the one they took into the 2013 election. “Welcome to the club,” Alberta Premier Alison Redford wrote on Twitter on election night, referring to Redford’s own win in the face of a wall of polls and pontificators saying she was done. Here’s the next thing to ignore from the media experts who rub shoulders with those pollsters and political strat-

egists. It’s all about the negative ads, they will say, and NDP leader Adrian Dix’s big mistake was to run a “positive” campaign. Rubbish. Was their Tom long fight against the Fletcher harmonized sales tax a positive campaign? Is piling on sham environmental reviews for the express purpose of killing industrial projects a positive idea? “Clearly our message didn’t get out the way we wanted it to get out,” Dix said after watching one of the biggest comebacks in Canadian political history. That’s rubbish too. He got his message out just fine, serving it up in bitesized pieces in a classic front-runner’s

VICTORIA VIEWS

campaign that cynically put off the most difficult choices. He was going to expand government, and restrict industrial development to appease urban voters. Dix’s most dramatic policy shift contributed to his undoing. Mid-campaign, in a decision that surprised even his platform co-chairs, Dix turned against the proposal to twin the TransMountain oil pipeline that winds across B.C. from Alberta to Burnaby. Well, not the pipeline itself, but the prospect of more oil tankers in and out of Vancouver harbour. At least now, more people will understand that Vancouver has been an oil port for nearly a century, and that Canada’s future includes energy development. More people should also appreciate that environmental assessment is not a political game.

Andrew Weaver made history as B.C.’s first Green Party MLA. He came out swinging against Clark’s economic holy grail, development of liquefied natural gas exports from the North Coast. Weaver calls LNG a “pipe dream” that will never materialize. It will be interesting to watch him as he is proved wrong on that, and then as he grapples with gas as a transition fuel that can be used to develop clean energy infrastructure. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins ran a distant third in his Langley constituency, and his goal of a breakthrough didn’t materialize anywhere. His idea of scrapping the carbon tax on fossil fuels didn’t impress many people, despite his focus on rural and

▼ NATURAL GOODNESS

March to keep foods what they’re intended to be To the editor: Try something with me for a moment. Think about why you love living in the Okanagan. I’m sure the orchards and fruit stands, gardens and vineyards come to mind. In fact, these things are what made this darling valley thrive in the first place. Now place this community in a world leading country where we indeed, have a responsibility to lead in the right direction. Now look to the south. The United States is the source of more than half (57 per cent) of imported food, and similarly 55 per cent of domestic food

exports from Canada, are directed to the United States. Our counterpart just passed a rider into law that would essentially protect U.S. biotech companies from litigation, if their genetically modified seeds (GMO) seeds turn out to be dangerous. The HR 933 rider was passed under the table by the senator of Missouri, the state where Monsanto has its head office. Awful sneaky, no? And consider this: “Some fear that inserting DNA from animals, bacteria and viruses into food crops can cause health

problems. Others worry that pollen from plants on a GMO farm might reach plants on a non-GMO farm. That could hurt the ability of the non-GMO farmer to sell crops overseas because many countries do not allow GMO crops. Others fear that genetically engineered (GE) crops might lead to unexpected and harmful changes in the modified plant, creating unexpected environmental effects…” (getfreebc.wordpress. com). Now consider that Monsanto prohibits independent scientific research of their products.

Not only that, they refuse to allow people the simple nicety of knowing whether or not their food contains GMO ingredients. And after that, realize that this company, Monsanto, owns over 60 food companies with products that you will find in every aisle, of every grocery store throughout all of North America. Now smile, because On May 25, people from more than 300 cities worldwide will march together at noon against this corporation vying for secrecy and control over what you know, about what you eat. We march

to support local farmers, spread awareness, promote organic solutions, and bring accountability to those responsible for the corruption. Being a community that has risen from the toils of celebrated farmers, shouldn’t we take this opportunity to remember their legacy and be proud? Well, I think so. And if you’re with me, then bring your smile and mosey on down to the Parkinson Recreational Center on May 25 and make global change happen right here at home. Ana Luyben, Kelowna

NDP arrogance lost election Voters show their NDP Loss from A10 tives, but I only got back a form letter if I was lucky. The end result of all this was a B.C. party headed by a very uncharismatic leader with a rather questionable past and a somewhat lackluster campaign. To me there didn’t seem to be any discernible fight. Christy Clark just walked all over us and the NDP allowed it to hap-

pen. I think that maybe Toronto Star celebrity columnist Chantal Hebert may have got it right: “It does not take a big leap of imagination to think that one could be treated to a replay of the same scenario federally in two years.” Thomas Mulcair—watch out. Laurence D. M. Marshall, Kelowna

Dix authored own undoing Fletcher from A10 northern B.C. Clark should heed the NDP on at least one thing. Dix promised to move B.C. election dates to the fall, starting in 2017. The idea of giving his anticipated government an extra six months to govern the province was uncontroversial when Dix proposed it in his party’s election platform, so

Clark will probably proceed with it. Another NDP idea Clark should adopt is getting the corporate and union money out of election campaigns. She likely won’t, because her party’s financial advantage is too great, but the time has come for this important reform. The B.C. Liberals’ much-discussed “balanced” budget will now

be put to the test over the next few months. The legislature must be convened by September to debate that budget. This should be the last vote based on an untested budget, and the first of many scheduled fall legislature sessions.

Precautions reduce the risk of rabies The long weekend is just around the corner. For many of us this means it’s time to get ready for summer. Planning to do some spring cleaning? Bringing your summer gear out of storage? Heading to the great outdoors to open the cabin? It’s important to know that activities like these can result in contact with bats, the primary carrier of the rabies virus in B.C. Rabies is a very serious disease that affects the nervous system. If not treated in time, rabies is almost always fatal. Last year, 39 people in the region were treated for potential exposure to rabies. Treatment, involving a two week long period of vaccinations, must be administered as soon as pos-

sible after exposure. “Between four and eight per cent of the bats that are tested after coming into contact with people are found to have the rabies virus,” said Jennifer Jeyes, communicable disease specialist with Interior Health. “Most bat-human encounters occur when bats get into houses or summer cabins, usually through open windows, doors, chimneys, or narrow cracks. “Attics are a favourite bat refuge. If you come into contact with live or dead bats, it is very important to avoid touching them.” Interior Health advises that all contact with bats should be taken seriously. “Anyone who has come into contact with a bat should call the local public health unit or their

GET

PREVENTION:

Do not touch live or dead bats. Parents should tell their children not to play with or touch bats. Make your home or cabin “bat proof.” Keep doors and windows closed, make sure window screens don’t have any holes, and keep the attic area free of bats by keeping all vents properly screened and by closing off other openings. If you find a live bat in a room of your home, open the window and close interior doors until

the bat leaves. Seek professional bat-control advice (from a pest control or wildlife specialist) if your home or workplace is inhabited by bats. Avoid locations or activities where bats are likely to be found (e.g., caves). If you have a pet dog, cat, or ferret, make sure they are vaccinated regularly against rabies. Pets that were born and raised in B.C. pose a very low risk of transmitting rabies to humans; however, vaccinating your pets will protect them from rabies.

IF BITTEN OR SCRATCHED:

Thoroughly wash the wounds with soap and water. Contact your local public health unit or family doctor immediately. Call a wildlife or pest control company to capture the bat. If trying to capture the bat yourself, avoid contact by wearing leather gloves, a hat, long sleeves and pants. Safely contain the bat

in a secure covered container to prevent others from being exposed. Keep the bat in a safe location until Public Health can arrange to pick it up and test it for rabies.

TRAVELING ABROAD:

In B.C., bats carry the rabies virus and other animals are only rarely infected. In other parts of the world rabies can be carried by other species. Be aware of the risk of rabies in the country you are visiting. If you were bitten by an animal and started on the rabies vaccine, keep all documentation you were provided. It will need to be reviewed by Public Health when you return home. Note the type of clinic or hospital you visited. This information will be used by Public Health to determine if you received the same standard of protection that you would have received at home.

doctor right away even if you can’t see bite marks or scratches,” said Jeyes. “Bats have tiny sharp teeth and claws, so scratches or bites may not be visible but could still be there. “People should not wait for symptoms to appear. Get checked out as soon as possible—early treatment is crucial to prevent the disease from progressing.” Interior Health offers these tips to protect yourself:

The B.C. political gong show continues to get louder

rust the politicians of B.C. to manage to make a further mockery of the political system in this province. I suppose it would be hilarious if it was not so astoundingly silly. Certainly, the over used and ancient cliché of dismay, “only in B.C.” in reference to our bizarre provincial political antics seems more appropriate today than ever before. Tuesday’s shocking election results were augmented by the irony of results in two key ridings —Penticton and Vancouver-Point Grey. In Point Grey, Christy Clark, the reigning queen of the ball, failed to win her own riding, while in Penticton Mayor Dan Ashman won his riding and now has to give up his mayor’s mantle to move to the Big House in Victoria. Yes indeed—only in B.C. Not surprising in the silliness of B.C. elections, however, was and is the emerging huge egos discovered in every party involved. Nowhere has such self-inflated, self love been more apparent than that displayed by the three key party leaders. Some folks just never really get when it is time to quietly and humbly ride off into the sunset. Clark, who was basically handed the job of premier after a disgraced Gordon Campbell disappeared, will now like-

Charlie Hodge ly force a ‘successful’ Liberal member to step down so she can run in a by-election to maintain her job. The fact that half her party had quit because of her and that she lost her own riding is not clear enough a message for her to simply quit. Rather than walk away, she now chooses to put the province through more election costs and wasted time. In additional and unprecedented displays of ineptness and arrogance, NDP leader Adrian Dix and Conservative leader John Cummins simply refuse to accept the fact that no one, or at least certainly not enough folks to count, really care about them either. It does not take a lot of brains for the average resident or political pundit to recognize that the complete unravelling of the NDP party in this election is directly related to the fact that not enough folks had faith in Mr. Dix to adequately lead this province as premier. One can debate that party’s tumble from the top of the prediction polls to a stunning defeat at the vote was due to negative advertising by the Lib-

erals, but the truth is that Dix was simply not liked or trusted enough by the voters. Cummins is a clown and even the majority of his party members wanted him to step aside before the election. However, on Thursday morning he was still refusing to quit. Cummins is the major reason no one took the Conservatives serious and the party will never move forward until he moves out. So while many in the province are still trying to dust themselves off and comprehend what happened on May 14, still others are equally enamoured with what happens next. You can’t make up

this sort of sordid drama. Most boggling is over the Christy Clark caper. Who gets to play the sacrificial lamb so that her majesty can again wave her sceptre? In order for Clark to now sit in the legislature as premier, she must win a seat in a by-election. The Liberals get to chose a riding, convince their winning party member to now step aside, and then hold a by-election. Logic (something not always found here in B.C.) dictates the party will find some grizzled veteran who has already claimed their pension after two full terms and is willing to retire to some cushy government job so

Clark can (hopefully for the party) win. Obviously they will chose a strong Liberal stronghold so as to not risk the wrath of angry voters who are ticked that they have to do the whole vote thing again and be saddled with a premier many thought was done like dinner. (Which poses the amusing possibility that the voters in that selected riding could simply rebel at having to vote a second time and kick the Liberals to the curb). The fact that our three local Liberal amigos have not earned pension status yet likely rules them out, though that would be interesting. However, there is the Dan Ashton factor.

Ashton must now give up his post as mayor of Penticton to move up to the pro leagues of politics from the municipal minor leagues. Frankly, if I was a resident of that lovely Okanagan city, I would be choked that the man obviously is more absorbed with his own political self interest than in serving his community. Oh well, at least Dan has said he is willing to pay for the by-election himself. Must be nice to have that kind of spare money.

On Wednesday, however, Ashton said he’d consider stepping aside for Clark if that could be mutually agreed to by all involved. That would allow Ashton to bask in the glory of having won the riding, then play martyr (can anyone say ‘future considerations?’) and still keep his mayor’s chair. Some might suggest that will never happen. However, let’s not forget—this is B.C. Ah yes, the plot sickens.

UBC medical students assist health care access

“Getting to the medical care you need shouldn’t require days off work, high travel costs, or large amounts of stress,” says second-year UBC medical student Sherry Hu. Hu is also the presi-

dent of the class of 2015 of University of British Columbia medical school. Her class raised $9,292.92 in support of rural medicine and, for the first time ever, decided to donate the entire proceeds

to a single charity—and that charity is Hope Air. Hope Air is a nation-wide charity that arranges free flights to get low-income Canadians to specialized healthcare that does not exist in their local community. Hope Air serves people of all ages, with all illnesses, from all across Canada. Last year, Hope Air provided 6,091 free flights across Canada, with 70 per cent of the flights occurring in B.C. Thomas Luo, one of the two students who, separately but simultaneously, recommended Hope Air for the donation, says “I nominated Hope Air because our expansive geography and low population density outside of the Lower Mainland is a common problem for all

Pleasant surprise from Fantasia FANTASIA: SIDE EFFECTS OF YOU (19/RCA) WORKSHOPS at the new heART school on Bernard Avenue have been producing work for Papergirl Kelowna, along with other group efforts from George Pringle Elementary School and Cool Arts. CONTRIBUTED

Unusual treasures arrive–gratis

Jennifer Smith

STAFF REPORTER

It’s odd to think Papergirl started as a protest, for the way it plays out on streets around the world is about celebrating art not raging against an oppressor. In a world were nothing is free, the idea of someone riding up on a bicycle with a stack of art to give to a perfect stranger does, nevertheless, have the whiff of counterculture. “The Papergirl in New York City, they really find it hard to give away art,” said Kelowna organizer Sarah Parsons. “Of course, people there are so used to being passed leaflets and everything.” Here in the Okanagan, resistance is minimal. While the odd person is put off by the stack of art volunteers deliver throughout the downtown core, by and large, most are excited, surprised and very thankful for the un-

usual treasure. “We’re really making someone’s day. People who don’t have access to art are getting four pieces of art for free,” said Parsons. “It’s good exposure for artists because they get to have their work displayed on both of the websites and it hangs in a gallery for a week, which is really nice. And it’s good for the community.” On average, 30 individual artists have contributed in each of the three years Papergirl Kelowna has peppered offerings about town and there are groups who fill out the inventory as well. When Parsons staged it in 2011, there were 400 pieces to give away and the volunteers had to combine the artwork into packages in order to get the job done. In addition to prominent community artists like Carrie Harper, Angela Bonten, Linda Lovisa, Liz de Montreuil, Karen Close, Fiona Neal,

She has also been teaching Papergirl workshops at the new heArt school on Bernard Avenue and Cool Arts will also contribute for the third year in a row. Photographer John Whittall and Jason Jablonski have each donated again. Both have

given over 100 pieces to the effort over the course its run—the inaugural event was in 2010, there was one in 2011, and now 2013. Whittall photographs birds, beasts, blooms and bugs, while Jablonski tends toward the human side of life. Papergirl started in Berlin in 2006 to protest making it a criminal of-

fence to post art in public spaces within that city. Around the world art is now collected, exhibited and then randomly distributed for free, just as a paperboy would roll up a newspaper for delivery. The deadline for contributions to the Kelowna effort is Monday, May 20th although Parsons will accept late entries for a few more days. The official opening for the show at the Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is Friday, May 24 from 6 to 9 p.m. First Nation artist Holly Bob will be creating live at the opening and Papa Thom will perform music. On either Sunday, June 2 or Monday, June 3 volunteers will randomly distribute the art in Kelowna on bicycles.

It was 10 years ago the gangly, 18-year-old Fantasia shocked the reality TV world with her unexpected win on American Idol. After an intervening career spotted by controversy, highly publicized misunderstandings and financial troubles, a lot of people would have written off the seemingly unlikely Fantasia by now. But surprise, surprise, her new album, her fourth has made its debut at the No. 2 mark on the all-genre charts and No.1 on the R&B charts, held back from topping out only by the new Michael Buble release while temporarily replacing Justin Timberlake. Fantasia doesn’t have a huge hit off Side Effects Of You but the second single, Without Me, featuring Missy Elliott and Kelly Rowland promises

McFerrin explores gospel; Mvula new artist to watch Mitchell from A16

to Mvula’s near effortless music—that made me think of Brian Wilson producing lavish settings for Eryka Badu— especially so on the handsome Is There Anyone Out There. Mvula sometimes uses military beats and the tintinnabulations of various bells for her rhythmics making this a pretty album on the ears, while she sometimes steps back for a very spare piano/ vocal only ballad such as

gae on Ain’t All Bad and honeyed R&B balladry on Without Me. Get It Right has a hint of Amy Winehouse retro R&B/pop while Change Your Mind is bold enough to sample Whitney Houston’s mega hit I’m Your Baby Tonight to very good effect. A surprise return to top form for Fantasia and much better than expected. B

BOBBY MCFERRIN: SPIRITYOUALL (SONY)

On Spirityouall, Bobby McFerrin has released his first album where he explores the realm of gospel, CCM, spirituals and roots Americana while writing a few originals in the same vein. McFerrin is still best known for his one and only hit, the a cappella Don’t Worry Be Happy from the Cocktail sound/track a few decades ago, but he consistently wins Grammy Awards and I expect he will win one next year for this strong Christian release. McFerrin mixes his strong beliefs with a musicological bent on 7these songs that come with notes to each track as well as a lengthy essay about his roots and his father’s musical influence. There are just too many highlights on this solid CCM album, including the fine prayerful interpretation of Bob Dylan’s I Shall Be Released and the deep Delta blues-styled Psalm 25:15 with its beautiful resonator guitar. The opener is a gorgeous jazz-folk world beat song, Everytime, that features the amaz-

Father. The only problem I hear is that while all the songs are strong, none really sticks out as an obvious single, meaning this will probably be labelled as an adult-alternative disc but the song Green Garden is a touch more radio friendly with its pop/gospel grooves. Like I said, a talent to watch and one who is getting a lot of music biz buzz. B

ing Esperanza Spaulding, while gospel fans will be very familiar with Whole World (‘in his hands’), Joshua (made famous by Sister Rosetta Tharpe) and Swing Low Sweet Chariot (I did not know that the chariot referred to in the song linked the underground railroad with the big dipper stars as its metaphor). B+

LAURA MVULA: SING TO THE MOON (RCA VICTOR) Laura Mvula is an artist to watch with this debut album that is getting tremendous notices. Mvula studied and then became an instructor at the U.K.’s Birmingham Music Conservatory, but more importantly she made the short list in the BBC’s Sound Of 2013— sort of like Canada’s Polaris Prize. Her album features all original songs and most of them are in the orchestral pop realm but her orchestrations are usually subtle as opposed to the overkill that can sometimes occur when an orchestra is applied to pop/ R&B/art song.

Silver Lake Camp Nina’s Story When I learned that the YMCA and Silver Lake Camp were looking for a Camp Director to support programs and leadership development in the Okanagan, it was an easy decision to move from Ontario. I have worked for years for YMCA camps and have seen firsthand how they change the lives of kids who discover new friendships, skills and confidence as they try activities only offered in an outdoor camp setting. As the YMCA offers financial assistance In partnership with

Join

to kids who normally couldn’t afford the full cost, it’s especially rewarding to know that a week of camp can positively benefit any child or youth who wants to attend. This year we’re thrilled to introduce a new high and low rope course in addition to our popular archery, canoeing, orienteering, swimming, arts & crafts, drama and sports programs. These new impressive vertical playgrounds give our campers and leadership participants the

opportunity to develop teamwork, communication and problemsolving skills, while challenging their personal comfort zone. I’m excited to connect with each of our campers and their families to help them have the best camp experience possible at Silver Lake!

Healthy nervous system the path to good health

uch of our present day health care is centered around the belief of Germ Theory, as proposed by the 19th century scientist Louis

Pasteur. In it, he states that the determining factor as to whether or not we get sick is due to the exposure to a pathogen, or germ. In essence, exposure to a germ equals disease. Pasteur had a bitter ASK rival by the name of Pierre DR.THIEL Jacques Antoine Béchamp, a French chemist and biologist. Béchamp said that it is not the germ that makes us sick, it is the body’s Markus ability to fend off the atThiel tacker that will determine the state of sickness of health. He felt that we are all exposed to germs, it is the internal environment the stipulates health. Wikipedia writes: “Béchamp did not believe that bacteria could invade a healthy host and create disease on their own. Pasteur’s competing vision became widely accepted by scientists, and Béchamp sank into obscurity, although his beliefs have been continuously promoted by a small fringe of dedicated advocates. “On September 28, 1895, Pasteur, on his death bed stated that he was wrong and Béchamp was correct all along. He stated, “It is not the seed, it is the soil.’” This still holds true today. This is not to say that we do not need such things as antibiotics. In fact, I would have lost my right hand last Christmas, due to an infection if it were not for antibiotics. Moreover, I believe that Béchamp was stating that our overall ability to adapt and overcome physiologically was largely determined by our reCHIROPRACTIC action to a pathogen, not PLAYS A VITAL the pathogen itself. This ROLE IN THE seems to make more BODY’S ABILITY TO sense to me. Our internal environEXPRESS HEALTH ment is determined by BY MANAGING our overall ability to exAND FORTIFYING press health. This is deterOUR NERVOUS mined by our level of nuSYSTEM. trition, internal fortitude and overall ‘tone.’ Eating well, managing stress in a healthy fashion, exercising and a healthy nervous system all play a very important role in enhancing our internal strength to manage and eradicate disease. Chiropractic plays a vital role in the body’s ability to express health by managing and fortifying our nervous system. The immune system starts with something called GALT, or gut associated lymphoid tissue. This response is our first to infection. This GALT is turned on or off by the nervous system. Immunity is almost entirely determined by the status of the nervous system. This is where immunity starts. It is as important as nutrition. A properly functioning nervous system will equal a properly functioning immune system. It is the nervous system that initiates and regulates the immune system. Many studies demonstrate that those that were being adjusted were far less likely to become ill. Immunity and nervous system are one in the same. Being adjusted is not all you need to do to maintain a healthy nervous system, but it is as important as eating well, moving well and thinking well. Markus Thiel is a doctor of chiropractic.

WE NEED

Heed the warnings or be prepared to lose species

www.kelownacapnews.com A23

t’s not a question of if, but when we will lose our populations of such needy wildlife as large mammals in B.C. if our current rate of human population growth continues, according to the scientists. So, we need to decide what parts of the natural world we want to sacrifice if we decide to continue at the current rate of growth. The difficulty with that, they say, is that we aren’t sure how important which cogs are in making sure all the rest of the machinery continues to operate. The web of life is still too complex for us to completely understand what depends on what for the whole to work: on cleaning our air and water; on providing the oxygen we need to breathe; and on conserving resources such as water. Because work is what the natural world does— in order that we can continue to live. It’s not just a pretty face, although it has a role to play in that respect as well. So, if we take that web apart, somehow we have to make sure we don’t lose any bits, just in case those prove to be the bits that were vital in providing a service for us or making the whole continue to work. Yet, we already have endangered species in the

Okanagan Valley—quite a few of them—and we’re not certain those might not be the ‘bits’ that provide a vital service to us. In other words, we’re already on a slippery slope that could lead to our downfall. These dire warnings were just some of what I heard when interviewing some of the country’s pre-eminent evolutionary biologists and ecologists who were in Kelowna during the past week for the annual conference of the Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution, hosted by UBCO. In attendance were many of the newest and brightest young researchers in Canada, as well as some of the most venerated in the field, who have international reputations, and there were scientists visiting from other countries as well. Not only was it the largest convention hosted yet by our new university, but it was quite an opportunity for us to show off the valley to some very bright minds. What they saw not only impressed them with its beauty and its biodiversity, but it led them

Most Central Okanagan residents never give it a thought. What happens to all that household water that flows down the drain or is flushed away? You can find out the answer first hand as the Regional District of Central Okanagan hosts free tours of its Westside Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, located at 4261 Gellatly Rd. in West Kelowna. The tours are being held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, May 22; Thursday, May 23; and Friday, May 24. If you’re interested in taking part, please call the RDCO Environmental Services staff at 250-4696250 to reserve your spot. The facility uses the internationally recognized

Westbank biological treatment process to process an average nine million litres of wastewater every day from businesses and homes in West Kelowna, Peachland and Westbank First Nation reserves #9 and #10. A more than $13 million expansion was completed at the plant last year, expanding redundancies, improving air quality and increasing capacity to service a future population of up to 42,000 within the three participating communities. This recent upgrade ensure best management practices and Provincial operating criteria are met in treating wastewater before sending into Okanagan Lake. You can learn more

to warn us that the pace and nature of current development of the valley is doomed to destroy that vibrant biodiversity they still see in this varied ecosystem. With their knowledge and background, they can easily spot the pinch points where humans are steam-rolling over the natural world of the Okanagan Valley, eliminating it along the way. I’d never considered before that there are choices to be made about whether or not we want to conserve all species that were native here before we moved in on the valley. I just assumed that of course we should do that. But, when I think about it, I suppose we make a decision every time we fill in another wetland in order to construct an asphalt road over it or pour a concrete building on top of it. Just about the only living thing that can survive on asphalt and concrete are humans and even we can’t take the air, water and food from it that we require to live. We need the natural world we’re destroying. It’s past time for us to sit up and take notice of what we, as a society, are doing. The fact that there’s lots of wilderness left in other parts of B.C. or Canada is irrelevant because in the same way that we’re attracted to the parts of the province or

country that are the most conducive to comfortable living, so are wild creatures in need of those same amenities. We both want to live under the best conditions. Either we find a compromise that allows us both to exist, which will mean we reduce our footprint and our rush to develop and grow; or we must accept that we will eliminate species and keep hoping none of them are vital cogs in the web of life we require to keep living. I’m not prepared to do the latter. If you’re not either, then it’s time to approach those who manage growth and all its attendant habitat-crunching activities, beginning with your local council members or regional district directors to let them know, in writing, about your concerns about continued growth. Then move on to your local MLAs, which would be Norm Letnick, Steve Thomson or Ben Stewart in the Central Okanagan, and your MP, either Dan Albas or Ron Cannan, and let them know, in writing, how concerned you are about damage that’s being done to habitat for fish and wildlife.

ANSWERS: 1.True: British Columbians use an average of 426 litres of water per day; the average Canadian uses 329 litres of water per day (nearly double what Europeans use!)* 2. False: Never put fats, oils or grease down the drain - when these substances enter our wastewater they can clog pipes and deplete oxygen in the aquatic environment. 3. False: Watering your lawn thoroughly once per week rather than lightly at a greater frequency will strengthen the roots and promote a greener, healthier lawn.

Students offer ‘helping New chamber executive elected hands’ to local food bank The results of the Rose Valley Elementary School’s 6th annual Helping Hands food drive for the Westside Community Food Bank are in—and once again the students, families and teachers have outdone themselves. The food drive was led by the school’s Leadership group. “Our leadership group is made up of about 45 Grade 6 students. These students were responsible for motivating the entire school—they made signs, encouraged kids and kept track of all the donations coming in,” said Karina Connor, Grade 5 teacher at Rose Valley Elementary School. According to 11-year-

old Lily, she donates because “the food bank is an important resource for adults and children in our community in case they need help. This food drive was an excellent way to help.” Her classmate Malorie, 12, added: “Many of us at this school are so fortunate. There are people who need help.

The Kelowna branch of the B.C. SPCA will host an animal-themed day of fun Saturday, May 25, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event at the animal shelter, 3785 Casorso Rd., will be sponored by Hill’s Science Diet. Highlights of the open house will include shelter tours, pet tips booth, ask-avet booth, an activity “nose work” session with your canine and a barbecue with refreshments. In addition to a day of activities for the whole family on Saturday, the branch will promote the joy of pet guardianship over the weekend, May 24 to 26, with half-price adoption fees on all cats, kittens and rabbits. “We’re also asking members of the community to help animals in need by dropping off urgently needed items for the shelter,” said Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the SPCA. “Wish list items include cans of Hill’s brand wet cat and dog food, red or black KONG dog toys, paper towels and kitten milk replacement if anyone in the community is able to help with that need.” Chortyk says the open house event is an opportunity for people to meet the animals available for adoption and to have

fun learning more about how to help animals in the community. “We are really excited to continue our ongoing partnership with the B.C. SPCA for the annual open house series,” said Brian Howard, general manager for Hill’s Canada. “Hill’s Food, Shelter & Love partnership program with the B.C. SPCA is a natural extension of our mission: To help enrich and lengthen the special relationships between people and their pets.” Chortyk says the SPCA is extremely grateful to Hill’s for its continuing support. “Hill’s is a champion of homeless animals, not only through their sponsorship of our open house series, but in their ongoing support of the dogs and cats in our care,” said Chortyk. Hill’s donates free dry food for all dogs, cats, puppies and kittens in B.C.;’s SPCA branches. “With the free bag of Science Diet we also give with every adoption, our hope is that new pet guardians will continue the feeding regimen the SPCA has started, for a lifetime of health and happiness for their pet,” said Howard. The B.C. SPCA adopts more than 16,000 animals each year through its 36 branches.

SPORTS ▼ COLLEGIATE GOLF CAREER

Woods checks off another goal Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna’s Jen Woods has done a lot during a five year collegiate golfing career at UBC Okanagan, from winning provincial and national championships with her team, to being named a national collegiate all-star and the City of Kelowna’s female athlete of the year. What the 22-yearold Kelowna-born athlete hasn’t done is play in the Royal Canadian Golf Association’s college and university championships, the biggest tournament of the college and university season. Until this year that is. Woods will leave next week for Ste-Sophie, Quebec to compete as an individual at the RCGA Canadian University/College Championships that will be held May 28 to 31 at the Club de golf Val des Lacs. “I’ve been trying to go to this tournament the

last five years but the timing hasn’t worked out,” said Woods. “This is an RCGA event so the calibre will be high. This is my first time playing the event so I don’t know exactly what to expect. It’s a little extra special because my dad is coming with me. For him to come and watch me play is going to be great.” Last fall Woods closed out her golf career at UBCO by helping her team win the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association national championships. With no spring golf at UBCO the team won’t start play again until the

fall. So Woods applied to play as an individual in the nationals and was accepted into the event. It will be her final collegiate tournament of a storied career that saw her finish in the top three of every tournament she entered after beginning her career as the lone female golfer at UBCO. “The experiences I had at UBCO were so great,” said Woods, who graduated high school from Rutland Senior and has helped coach the golf team at both Rutland middle and the high school over the past years. “The things that stand out for

me the most were the meaningful relationships I had with the other competitors on the teams and with my coaches.” Woods has just one class remaining to finish her schooling in health studies that could lead to work in health promotion or health policy. But for now she is focussed on her golf game, getting set for the RCGA university/ college nationals as well as playing on the Vancouver Golf Tour, an amateur tour for up and coming players. “For me now that I am done school I can put more time toward golf which is a personal goal of mine,” she said. “I want to be healthy, I want to be more competitive, I want to offer more to the game. I love volunteering with junior golf when I can and I want to play more. I still have a lot of things I want to do with my amateur status. I just need to start playing more.

times a week and practicing hard as she turns the page from student golfer to amateur player. With other players from Kelowna enjoying success and with a solid collegiate career to build from, Woods is ready to see where the

game can take her. “I’m so excited right now,” she said. “I’m living day to day; the plans are always changing. The only thing I know is I wake up every morning and when I play golf I am happy.”

Richdale’s winning track aimed at LPGA Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

KELOWNA’S Samantha Richdale claimed the CN Canadian Tour stop on Vancouver Island this week.

With the goal of getting back her playing rights on the LPGA Tour, Kelowna golfer Samantha Richdale got on the winning track this week, claiming the CN Canadian Tour’s first event, held at Beach Grove Golf Club in Tsawwassen. Richdale set a course record with a scorching 65 on Tuesday and then cruised to a 73 Wednesday to win the first of

three events on the CN Canadian Tour, a three stop mini-tour where the events feature a $60,000 (CAD) purse, with $10,000 (CAD) awarded to the winner, along with an exemption into the 2013 CN Canadian Women’s Open. That exemption to the Canadian Woman’s Open, to be held in Edmonton this year, was what Richdale was after. “Its pretty awesome, it’s my main reason to come out and play in these

CN events,” she said. “I’m really excited to play (the Canadian Woman’s Open). It’s in Edmonton and it will be fun to go back there.” Making the win in Tsawwassen even sweeter was her caddie, as Richdale’s mom was on the bag for the two-round Canadian Tour stop. “It was awesome, my mom is good stuff,” said Richdale. “She does a good job of keeping me calm out there and we just had fun which was nice.”

After the win, Richdale zipped off to a Symetra Tour event and is teeing it up this weekend. A top 10 finish on the Symetra Tour will get Richdale her LPGA card back and that’s motivating her game. “Hopefully it fuels me to win out there,” she said. “My goal is to finish in the top five on that tour. So hopefully I have a good year and get my LPGA card back by the end of the year.” Fellow Kelowna golf-

UBCO Fowlie joins U of Regina grabs Cougars on scholarship Linttell for the ’13-14 season ▼ BEYOND WHL

Twenty-year-old graduating forward Cody Fowlie has found a place to play next season and will utilize his WHL scholarship to attend Canadian university and play at the highest level of collegiate hockey in Canada next season. University of Regina men’s hockey head coach Todd Johnson announced Thursday that Fowlie has committed to the Cougars for the 2013-14 season. Originally from Airdrie, Alta., Fowlie played for three full seasons in the Western Hockey League and finished off his junior career with the Kelowna Rockets as a 20-year-old this year. He put up 40 points in 59 games with the Rock-

Cody Fowlie ets and added three postseason goals as Kelowna advanced to the Western Conference semifinal series. Fowlie, who also had 40 points during the 2011-12 season, collected a total of 95 points in a total of 201 career regular season games played with

Kelowna and Everett. “Cody is an extremely capable offensive player and he is consistently rewarded on the ice for his strong work ethic,” Johnson said. “His great character is a major reason I went after him so hard and I’m extremely pleased to add him to the roster.” Fowlie was released by Everett at the start of the WHL season and was picked up by the Rockets off the WHL waiver wire. He quickly became one of the hardest working Rockets and was a key cog in the team’s 52 win season this season. Overall Fowlie played 208 regular season WHL games in a three year career split between Kelowna and Everett.

The UBC Okanagan men’s basketball team has wasted little time in snapping up one of Kelowna’s top basketball prospects. Kelowna Christian product Ryan Linttell has committed to playing for the Heat men’s basketball team this upcoming season. A 6-foot 4 multi-sport athlete, Linttell won provincial gold in both volleyball and basketball and will come to the Heat with a winning pedigree, while also adding depth and versatility on the wing. “I’d have to say my greatest strength is my versatility,” Linttell said, “I can shoot from the outside or drive inside, score and rebound. I also see the floor well and I’m an unselfish player. I work hard on defense and keep my man in front of me.” Linttell was versatile enough to lead his school volleyball team to a B.C. provincial title and was named the tournament MVP. A few months later he led his Knights basketball squad to a provincial championship and earned a first team all-star. For his stellar achievements throughout the year in athletics Ryan recently re-

Mitch Goodwin, as a core of strong local high school players that signed with the Heat. Linttell plans to enter the Bachelor of Human Kinetics program, and believes that UBC’s Okanagan campus “is a highly reputable school.” He currently seeks to become an optometrist and boasts a 93 per cent average while residing on the Principle’s List and Work Ethic List at the high school level. He hopes that his academic success will also translate into university success. Ryan is fortunate in that he has an older brother, Tyler Linttell, who currently plays in the CIS and who has been able to lend advice to his younger brother for the jump in competition. “It’s much more physical than high school,” Ryan said was Tyler’s advice, “and I have a lot to do to get my body ready for next year.” He adds, however, that “I always like to play with players who are better than me so I can step my game up.” Second-year coach Pete Guarasci is excited to add Ryan to the basketball program at UBC’s Okanagan campus. “He’s a local talent who helped lead his KCS [Kelowna Christian] team

to a AA Championship,” said Guarasci. “Ryan is a well-rounded basketball player with good size, athleticism and basketball IQ. We believe he has a chance to develop into a strong CIS wing player. On top of Ryan’s athletic abilities, he’s also an excellent student and teammate.” A large part of Ryan deciding to come to UBC’s Okanagan campus after sifting through offers from other CIS schools was his familiarity with coach Guarasci. “I feel UBCO is the best fit for me. I really like coach Guarasci’s game style and he explains himself well,” said Ryan and, “I think I will grow as a player and person under his direction.” HEAT NOTES: Heather Semeniuk’s women’s Heat basketball team has also signed the Augie Ciancone Memorial Award winner, on the female side, in Olivia Johnson. Johnson is a 5’6” guard that led Immaculata to their first ever provincial championship in girls’ basketball. This is also the second year in a row a women’s Heat team has brought in the top Kelowna high school athlete; Justin Drosdovech from Immaculata Regional plays for the Heat soccer team.

We have learned through lots of research that girls are not only interested in learning and excelling at the game but doing so with their friends.” A recent study by USA Hockey suggests that females get a better sense of team and form lifelong friendships when given the opportunity to play the game with other

girls. Other advantages of playing hockey for girls support a healthy mind and body balance. Cathy Carolei, BC Hockey female development committee Okanagan representative, sees this female hockey fun day as a great stride for equal opportunity for girls. “Many of our girls dream about playing in the Olympics or see hockey as a fun and healthy activity so it’s really exciting being a part of this initial step in assuring our girls of the chance to pursue their passion for the game and forming a lifelong activity,” she said.

United U15 girls came away with a silver finish in a close game for the final in the Hot Shot Tournament. After not allowing a goal in three games and scoring eight, the KU girls allowed just one that resulted in a second place finish. The girls played well executing many well-placed crosses, balls through the defence and corner kicks. The passing and communication on and off the pitch continued to be significant factors in the team’s success. Even with four fairly serious injuries during the tournament the girls continued to remain positive and resilient.

NEWS ▼ ACUPUNCTURE

Stimulating the endorphins to help combat chronic pain P NEEDLE NOTES

James Kaufman fibromyalgia, but often there is still no clear understanding of the physical cause of the pain. Damage to a peripheral or spinal nerve may lead to chronic pain, where the damaged nerve, not the original injury, is causing the pain. Nerve damage can result from accidents, infections or surgery. Researchers think chronic pain may be partly caused by sensitization, a process where the nervous system amplifies and

distorts pain, resulting in severe pain that is out of proportion to the disease or original injury. Sensitization can affect all the pain-processing regions of your nervous system, including the sensing, feeling and thinking centers of your brain. When this occurs, chronic pain may be associated with emotional and psychological suffering. Treatment for chronic pain often means managing the pain through over-the-counter pain relievers, prescription opioids, cortisone, or NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatories). Unfortunately for many, medications often have undesirable side-effects and may offer only limited effectiveness for

dealing with the pain. Other treatments may include physiotherapy, massage, chiropractic, counselling, and acupuncture, therapies which aim more at resolving the pain. Often, a combination of approaches is needed to effectively treat this problem. Acupuncture is an excellent option for chronic pain. Although Western medicine has not yet uncovered the mechanisms of acupuncture, it is clear that acupuncture is very effective for treating all kinds of pain, both acute and chronic. This goes beyond the “placebo effect,” as acupuncture works just as well on animals (who bring no expectation to the treatment table).

One of the reasons that acupuncture is particularly good for treating pain is the way in which it stimulates the production of endorphins, the body’s natural pain relievers. In addition, acupuncture focuses on correcting imbalances in the body and encouraging normal, healthy functioning of the body’s various systems, which may help the body to correct the sensitization process as described above, or changes or disruptions to the body as a

result of injury or illness. In this way, it can help both to manage and relieve the pain in the short term, and help to address the underlying causes of the pain to help to resolve chronic pain over time. In my practice, I have seen patients with chronic pain respond very positively to acupuncture, with a reduction in pain symptoms and the overall level of pain. As pain diminishes, acupuncture helps open the door for

with the other participating service providers to provide one-on-one follow up, assisting manufacturers with information and resources related to such areas as supply chain development, export assistance, financing and business planning. The program is powered by the Central Okanagan Economic Development Commission (COEDC) with significant support from stakeholder groups throughout the region. Business walks have proven highly effective in strengthening local economies by retaining businesses in a community and creating an environment where they can grow. Last year’s walk, the first in Canada, was so successful it has been recognized as a best practice in the province online Business Attraction (Site Selection) toolkit.

The Central Okanagan walk will take place in manufacturing clusters throughout the region. More than 30 volunteer business leaders (“walkers”) will visit some 50 businesses. The COEDC will coordinate a general Okanagan-wide business walk to companies in various sectors on Oct. 1 as part of Small Business Month. Corie Griffiths, business development officer for the Central Okanagan Economic the business walks project manager, said, “The May Walk to manufacturers will enable us to gather timely information from a sector that is key to the strength and diversity of the Central Okanagan economy. A strong manufacturing sector creates well-paying jobs and helps to attract and retain a talented workforce which bodes well for our economy long term.”

Making a connection to manufacturers

Connecting with manufacturers throughout the Central Okanagan to identify ways to enhance manufacturing businesses in the region is the purpose of the Central Okanagan eBusiness Walk on Tuesday, May 28. The walk will see business leaders connect face-to-face with operators of manufacturing businesses through an informal discussion about their business environment. - The focus on manufacturing for a business walk is a pilot project as business walks are traditionally non-sector specific. Manufacturing generates ap-proximately three times as much into the economy as other sectors and provides well-paying jobs with career growth potential. The business walk will identify common issues experienced by manufacturers in the Central Okanagan, and the COEDC will work

Campus rental suites host thousands of visitors

C d

At UBC Okanagan, summer means the busy season gets underway in earnest—the campus turns into the biggest conference and accommodation centre in the Okanagan. With the academic year over, the hustle and bustle of student moveout from the residences only means there is a transition in the makeup of the guests staying on campus. And summer 2013 is shaping up to be a rather busy one, says UBCO conference sales and services manager Debbie Harding. “Our summer season is relatively short, as our students move out in late April and return in early September,” Harding says. “But within the time frame of mid-May to late August, we can have

more than 6,000 visitors and host dozens of conferences and events.” This season started with a bang as UBCO hosted the eighth-annual Canadian Society for Ecology and Evolution conference this week, alongside the 2013 A/ BC Inorganic Discussion Weekend. More than 500 visitors were on campus for the two events—and Harding says the majority booked rooms in the Cascade, Monashee, and Purcell student residences. “The Okanagan has a robust hospitality sector that serves the tourism industry very well,” says Harding. “We are filling a niche, especially for those needing meeting and conference facilities for academic and business gatherings large and small.”

For those on retreats or with business plans, UBC’s Conferences and Accommodation staff can help with events of every size. There are more than 50 meeting rooms on campus, plus several large lecture halls with stadium seating and full teleconferencing capability. There are workshop spaces, exhibit and trade show areas, sports facilities, multi-media technology, and on-site catering. UBCO has more than 650 rooms available with a variety of summer rental options. Choices include: single rooms, with access to a shared bathroom, kitchen, and common lounge; suites in the Monashee building, ranging from a studio option to a four-bedroom family suite, all with private bathrooms, queen beds, and fully-equipped kitchens; and the four-bedroom Cascade apartments, with private kitchen, living room, and two bathrooms. Harding says the campus location, just two kilometres from Kelowna’s airport, is a definite bonus, as it helps with the university’s appeal to groups that have plans before or after attending conferences

visit, to youth groups on a retreat, and sports teams playing in tournaments.” Taylor Scanlon, cochair for the recent Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Association graduate conference, says planning for the event was made easier by UBCO staff. “The assistance we received from UBC Okanagan staff has been thorough and exemplary,” Scanlon says. “Considering that our committee was new at this kind of thing, we were very grateful for all the professional help and detailed support we received. “Having some professional support behind us was a definite bonus. ” UBCLO’s three,

two-bedroom townhomes are open for visitors year round. The two-storey rentals book up quickly, says Harding, as they’re popular for fall winery tours and ski groups in the winter. “Our range of accommodation is different from most hotels because we offer a variety of single rooms and suites, all at a great price,” Harding adds. “But I think we’re a popular place to stay, mostly because UBC Okanagan is such a unique place. “We have a beautiful campus in a great location and we’re happy to share this space with our visitors.”

▼ PROTEST

Local residents join worldwide march against Monsanto Kelowna will be included in a protest planned for next Saturday, May 25, against the chemical production firm of Monsanto. People from more than 300 communities in 40-plus countries will take to the streets to promote their views on the future of food. Dubbed as “March

Against Monsanto,” this worldwide grassroots event will highlight controversial issues surrounding the controversial corporation as it aggressively pursues an agenda to forever alter the world food system and maintain rigid control of it. Genetically modified “foods” and the issues surrounding them are at

the heart of this march. It comes at a time when locally we are being forced to make decisions about the possibility of bio-engineering in our communities. The attempted introduction of a GM apple to the Okanagan Valley has huge implications for the future of our fruit industry, both conventional and or-

ganic, according to protest organizers. As well, recent demonstrations and petitions in Kelowna have highlighted concerns surrounding GM alfalfa and how it could spell the demise of the organic beef industry. “For too long, Monsanto has been the benefactor of corporate subsidies and political favouritism,” said a new release from the protest organizers. “Organic farmers and small farm producers suffer losses while Monsanto continues to forge its monopoly over the world’s food supply, including exclusive patenting rights over seeds and the genetic makeup of plants. The goal for Kelowna protesters participating in March Against Monsanto is to spread awareness about the harmful effects of genetically modified foods, expose the cronyism between big business and government, and promote organic food systems. The one-hour march and rally will take place at Parkinson Recreation Centre, starting at 11 a,m. For full event details check out www.facebook. com/events/32216681124 4895/?ref=ts&fref=ts .

PART OF Old Town Stockholm and a tall ship is visible near the Gustaf Af Klint boat hostel, anchored in the waters of central Stockholm, Sweden.

From ship to prison: Sweden offers some unique hostels David Joles CONTRIBUTOR

In Sweden, unique hostels spring from old quarters:

GUSTAV AF KLINT

My wife and I booked a two-bed cabin on the Gustav Af Klint, a beat-up, decommissioned steamship-turned-hostel, because it was a bargain at around $60 a night and in a great location,

near Stockholm’s Old Town and the metro. Turns out, it was a memorable, pleasant base for our time in Stockholm, too. Our room was spartan at best, with a porthole for a window and two bunks, but what the lodging lacked in amenities, it more than made up for in location and ambience. The hostel was very near Skansen, the openair Swedish folk museum and park where we celebrated Midsummer along with throngs of others (www.skansen.se; click the “English”

Sweden from A36 Swedish pear cider and French fries with ketchup from the restaurant atop the boat couldn’t remedy. The people-watching from our restaurant perch also took my mind off my sore legs. Swedes scurried to nearby cruise ships bound for Finland and Estonia, luggage on rollers in tow. Back in our berth, the view of the water and Old Town out our portal window felt almost cinematic. On our last night there, as a storm approached,

a tall ship sailed slowly past our window, with city lights blinking in the distance and the sky turning from gray to black as rain began to fall. We never left our spot on the bunk, watching the lights of Stockholm’s cityscape change outside that little round window. Even the muffled thud of dance music from a nearby floating disco club couldn’t keep us from sleep, as waves rolling off the passing ship gently rocked the boat. More info: The Gustav Af Klint floats on the

water at Stadsgårdens Kajplatser 153, just steps from the Slussen metro stop (www.gustafafklint. se; click the “in English” button at the upper right).

VISBY PRISON HOSTEL

A three-hour ferry ride took us from Nynashamn, near Stockholm, to Visby, on the Island of Gotland. As we approached the port, we could see the watchtowers of the Visby Prison Hostel, where we would spend the night. The place did not look like a typical, welcoming hotel. The 150-year-

old squat stone and concrete fortress was ringed with razor ribbon, though the prison closed decades ago. Inside, the building had its own eeriness. Heavy metal hinges and door locks remind visitors that their hostel room was once a prison cell. The names of the last inmates who dwelled in the cell and the crimes that sent them to the prison are printed in Swedish on many of the doors. The rooms are clean, if

Traditional breakfast of caviar and pâte Sweden from A37 austere. The original solid wood doors help drown out any bustle of tourists in the hallway, though during our visit in late June, the hordes had yet to descend on Visby, a popular summer retreat for Swedes. Large, stylish com-

mon areas were a reprieve from the simple rooms. On our floor, a red velvet couch and a pair of wicker chairs draped in red cloth set the tone. The Swedish sun streamed in through tall windows. Englishand Swedish-language fashion and gossip magazines sat on a table. The breakfast sal-

on featured high ceilings, deep red walls and views of the Visby harbor. A traditional Swedish breakfast, including caviar, orange marmalade, hard-boiled eggs and liver pâte, is included in the hostel fee, where a twobed cell can be had for about $65 to $100, depending on the season—

but not the linen for the prison bunks, which were an extra couple dollars. A pub and cafe tent called Lås & Bom sits just outside the prison, affording tourists a chance to sip beer or coffee with a close-up prison view. A footpath cuts through a field of tall grass beyond the prison, follow-

ing the prison wall. Some of the walls are now partly covered in graffiti and shaded by nearby hardwood trees. More info: Visby Prison Hostel is near the ferry dock in Visby, on the Island of Gotland (Skeppsbron 1, Visby; www.visbyfangelse.se; click the British flag at the right).

Ford Edge sharper than ever for 2013

Rob Beintema

CONTRIBUTOR

The Ford Edge seems such a fixture in the Ford stable that it’s easy to forget that it is still a fairly recent addition to the lineup, a purpose-built crossover utility vehicle (CUV) that lwas first introduced as a -made-in Canada model -for 2007. n The Edge is a natural -stepping stone to the larger, full-size Flex crossgover but, with roomy ttwo-row, five-passensger dimensions, the Edge ,itself offers plenty of -family-friendly accomsmodation. - It slots neatly between mthe Escape and Explorer, h r -

two former truck-based SUVs that have also converted to the crossover formula with unibody construction and all the inherent qualities of car-like ride, improved handling and better fuel economy. The Edge was eagerly adopted by Canadian consumers, earning top-selling numbers in its initial years but Ford did not hesitate to make changes halfway through the first generation lifespan, adding more diversity and choice to the lineup of this important midsize family hauler. For the 2011 model year, major revisions included an exterior redesign, a better quality in-

THE 2013 Ford Edge AWD, a made-in-Canada solution for familiy transport needs, seen here in upscale Limited trim and new-for-2013 Ruby Red Tri-Coat Metallic paint, and offering dynamic crossover styling, five-passenger comforts and a full list of amenities. terior build, new technologies, new powertrains and new levels of performance. A re-engineered chassis and upgraded suspension came wrapped in refreshed bodywork with a new, more prominent grille, added LED running lights and new 17- to 22inch wheel styles. New four-wheel disc brakes added better bite and a firmer feel, along with allowing for add-

e g

ed brake-related features such as hill start assist, trailer sway control, hydraulic brake assist and a segment-first adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support. The Edge’s standard 3.5-litre V6 engine with twin independent variable cam timing (Ti-VCT) was upgraded to 285 hp (up 20 hp) and 253 lb/ft of torque (up 3 lb/ft) along with improved fuel efficiencies.

Since those major revisions there have been some other minor yearly adjustments including aerodynamic tweaks for 2012 and some packaging changes and new colours for 2013, including the new Red Ruby Tri-Coat Metallic paint job on our tested model. The Ford Edge (starting at $27,489) shares its platform and a good deal of running hardware with the upscale Lincoln

MKX sibling (starting at $46,150), with both built on the same award-winning Oakville, Ontario assembly line. And the Edge offers a wide gradation of trim levels and equipment bundles to span the range between those two varying ends of the price and packaging spectrum. The Edge comes in a choice of four trim levels—SE, SEL, Limited and Sport.

An all-wheel drive (AWD) system ($2,250) is also available. The SEL model adds heated seats, EasyFold rear seat back release, bigger 18-inch wheels, Ford SYNC voice-activated connectivity and other upgrades.

Our 2013 Ford Edge tested here, comes in Limited trim with optional AWD and the standard 3.5-litre V6. This may be the base motor but it offers enough oomph to satisfy. Acceleration is brisk without too much clamor or drama and handling and ride qualities are more than acceptable for this

harsh over rough pavement, but the chassis is tight, and the car feels extremely solid and composed during a turn. For track enthusiasts, there’s even a front -strut camber adjustment that allows up to -1.5 degrees of negative camber for more responsive turnein and reduced understeer. - The clutch is nicely weighted and has a rea-sonably smooth takeup, and although the throws sare a bit long, it’s a pleasure to row through the gears. In particular the slower ones are where you can really feel the torque. Punch the accelerator out of a turn, and the traction control clamps down -hard to straighten the back -end. Turn off this nanny, dand a similar prod will eget the tail wagging—in theory, of course. - As for Hyundai’s $850 kfree-flow exhaust sysrtem, it kept a smile on my gface throughout the test eperiod. I even found myself running the R-Spec in the underground gar-

age of my Dad’s retirement home—with both windows down—just to savour the sweet, sweet sound. And that point wasn’t lost on Hyundai’s PR rep as he pried the keys from my hand at the end of the week.

Do the math to make your own engine choice class of vehicle. The 3.5-litre V6 engine is rated at 11.8/7.8L/100km (city/ hwy) (AWD), which sounds somewhat overly optimistic to me. Even the U.S. EPA rating of 13.1/9.4L/100km (city/ hwy) is way better in comparison to my real world average of 14.9L/100km (comb). Granted, that was more city driving than highway cruising but it was also under consistently moderate acceleration, with no luggage, no passengers. The 2.0-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder, still running on regular octane fuel and rated at 9.9/6.6L/100km (city/hwy), would seem a wiser investment even at a $1,000 premium but

drivers will have to do the math based on their own driving distances and demands. Something to keep in mind is the smaller four-cylinder comes in FWD only. And although I did not test the 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine in the Edge, the same motor in a Fusion test recently averaged 11.4L/100km in real world driving. Inside, the Edge Limited features a handsome cabin dressed in Medium Light Stone leather with wood grain accents. Ford does interiors well and the Edge design blends technological sophistication with ergonomic simplicity. The smooth, iPhonelike surfaces on the in-

Ford from B7 strument panel and touch screen will not be to everyone’s taste but this driver-connect technology replaces most of the traditional vehicle buttons, knobs and gauges with touch-sensitive LCD screens and five-way controls like those found on cell phones and MP3 players. The MyFord Touch system displays information using two 4.2-inch full-colour LCD screens flanking an analog speedometer and an eight-inch touch-screen LCD at the top of the centre stack. Five-way rocker switches on each side of the steering wheel crossbar control the information displayed on the respective left and right side screens. Drivers can also use voice commands for audio, HVAC, nav or phone connectivity. This particular Edge Limited benefited from the airy ambiance of an optional panoramic glass roof but there is ample space for five passengers inside, roomy access in the back seat and enough cargo area for luggage demands—912 litres or 1,951 litres with the rear seat folded flat. In sum total, the Edge provides a wide variety of available price and content levels worth looking into, a good blend of amenities and technologies and a viable madein-Canada solution for everyday family driving needs.

In lieu of flowers, we kindly ask that a donation be made to the Salvation Army, your local Food Bank or World Vision. A gathering to celebrate Beat’s life will be held at the family home on Saturday May 25 from 12pm to 4 pm.

Our Little MVP “There must be one heck of a tourney going on in heaven for her to be called up to play so early!”

LISA GUYLAINE PAYNE October 4, 1972 – May 14, 2013 After successfully beating Breast Cancer in 2011, Lisa was called to the plate, to once again fight the disease - but this time it was a fight she had no chance of winning. Born in Terrace, BC, Lisa was a naturally gifted athlete with a wide circle of friends. From the moment she picked up a ball glove in her late teens, she was destined to be on the field playing on Provincial and National ball teams and frequently acquiring numerous awards and prizes. Her main loves though, were her family; marrying Thomas Payne on July 17, 1993, and with him creating two beautiful children, Kaylie Brooke Payne and Darcie Lee Payne. Lisa and her family moved to Kelowna in 1998 where she quickly joined almost every ball team that was looking for a player...imagine their surprise when they saw her play! Lisa played for teams in Winfield, Vernon and Kelowna and will be missed by all who knew her. Lisa also touched the hearts of all the people she worked with. After getting her LPN in 2007 during the few years that the family lived in Calgary, she then returned to live in Winfield and worked with and for some wonderful people at Noric House in Vernon. Her favorite song sums up her philosophy... Good Life by One Republic “Hopelessly I feel like there might be something that I’ll miss Hopelessly I feel like the window closes oh so quick Hopelessly I’m taking a mental picture of you now’ Cause hopelessly the hope is we have so much to feel good about, Oh, this has gotta be the good life This has gotta be the good life This could really be a good life, good life”

Lisa will also be missed by her parents, Jean-Guy and Carmen Mailloux, by her brothers Denis Mailloux and Rene Mailloux (wife Laurie, Jordan, Alyssa, Sarah), and by her sister Lynne Nordstrom (husband Larry, Aaron, Kenny, Nick) as well as her father and mother in-law Gilbert and Anne Payne, sisters-in-law Dani Barnett (husband Wade, Chris, Mark) and Susan Payne. In lieu of flowers Lisa and the family have asked that donations be made to the Hospice House in your area to support the wonderful work that they do to ensure that our journey from this world is made with peace and compassion. Special thanks go to Dr. Oswald and his staff for all the care they gave her in her fight. We will never forget you little one....you were loved and will be missed by all. A celebration of life will be held at Trinity Baptist Church, 1905 Springfield Road, Kelowna on Saturday May 18th at 11:00 am.

shOwCAsE ▼ THE TINY HOUSE

A smaller, cheaper way to live Jamie Smith Hopkins CONTRIBUTOR

Greg Cantori plans to downsize when he retires. Really, really downsize. His retirement home is 238 square feet—onetenth the size of the average new North American house—and sits in his yard. He and wife Renee can hitch it to a truck and take it with them wherever they go. “It’s so cheap—that’s what’s so cool about this,” said Cantori, 52, who envisions a surf-and-turf future, alternating between the house and a sailboat. “We bought the house for $19,000 (US). We can live an extraordinary life for very little money.” It’s an example of the “tiny house” movement in the U.S., which has collected a small but growing—and passionate group of adherents.

Some like the freedom from a big mortgage and high energy bills. Some, the freedom from roomfuls of stuff. And some see it as a promising option for workers whose rent overwhelms their paycheques. Tiny houses fall into two categories. Some, like Cantori’s, are technically travel trailers—tagged and roadready. Others have foundations and aren’t going anywhere. The houses usually manage a lot of function in a little bit of space— kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, laundry room— and they’re often cute to boot. Gables. Wood siding. Even porches. “These are beautiful works of art,” said Joe Coover with Tumbleweed Tiny House Co., a California firm that sells tiny homes, as small as 65 sq. ft., and tiny-home designs.

On average, new houses have gotten bigger over recent decades, ballooning from a little less than 1,700 sq.ft. in the early 1970s to 2,500 sq.ft. last year, even as household sizes were on the decline. But the housing crash, foreclosure crisis and rough recession have pressed some to think differently about how much space they need. And a house you can move with you has a certain appeal to anyone stuck in a place worth less than its mortgage. But whether you can actually live in a tiny home depends on more than your ability to pare down your possessions. Location matters. Zoning, building codes, health codes and even private covenants in subdivisions can effectively render a tiny house illegal. In the eyes of the law, there’s such a thing as too

small. Some jurisdictions bar people from living in travel trailers, too, no matter what they look like. “That’s the No. 1 issue—zoning,” said Steven Harrell, owner of Tiny House Listings (tinyhouselistings.com), where 20,000 to 50,000 people visit per day to check out tiny houses for sale. “There are a lot of people advocating, ‘Hey, what’s the big deal? Why don’t you ease squarefoot (regulations)?’ Times have changed, the economy has changed, people are having to make choices. And tiny houses are one of them.” Tiny houses aren’t the only example of small living. “Micro-apartments” of a few hundred square feet are popping up in some expensive cities, such as San Francisco, for young professionals who’d rather spend

CONTRIBUTED

GREG Cantori relaxing inside his 238-square-foot tiny home. He and his wife intend

to downsize into the tiny house in the future and taking it with them as they travel. Their tiny house was built onto a trailer frame that can be towed. their free time downtown than in a sprawling living room. The cost for a tiny house varies. Readymade homes sell for about $40,000 to $60,000 US. But people who buy plans, purchase materials at a home-improvement store and build it themselves—as in free labour —will probably spend $18,000 to $20,000, in-

cluding appliances, he said. Of course, that doesn’t include the cost of land to sit the house on. Some tiny house folks buy. Some rent. Some find people with extra space they don’t mind sharing. For Cantori, the affordability of a tiny house is part of the draw, but also the ability to use less energy, take up less

land and generally be “lighter on the environment.” Cantori thinks his tiny home looks spacious, thanks to high ceilings, white walls and 16 windows. There’s just nothing superfluous inside, he says. “No wasted space,” he said. “It’s all about not wasting.”

▼ OF PRIME INTEREST

Living by a budget so you can afford to buy a home Mention the word “budget” to some people and you’ll likely be met with cringes and winces, the kind usually seen from patients in a dentist’s chair. It’s not very surprising because the perception about making a budget is that it requires us to think carefully about how and where we spend our money. And most of the time, we have no idea. While it takes discipline to plan and implement a good budget, it doesn’t have to be rocket science. One of the main reasons budgets don’t work is because the person: • doesn’t have a clear understanding of their actual financial situation • is unaware of their actual day-to-

day expenditures • hasn’t defined their financial needs, interests, objectives and goals • have gotten carried away by debt So what steps should we follow to get on track? It’s important to remember that the initial process of setting up your budget will require a bit of effort, but it’s worth it in the long run. Keep it simple: Your budget should be straightforward and flexible so it can be easily modified if your income or expenses change. Set your financial objectives. Your objectives should be realistic, measurable and time-bound. This will help you stick to your budget and to reach your financial goals and projects.

Be realistic and specific about your spending: Go through your bank and credit card account statements to identify your spending patterns. Each expense item will have its own line in your budget—housing, groceries, utilities, transportation, investments, retirement savings, entertainment, clothing, etc. Also, identify and itemize your bills. Keep in mind that they may not all be monthly expenses. For instance, some insurance premiums come only once a year, so make sure to break them down into monthly amounts. Try to avoid guessing the amounts that you spend for each budget line. Be honest with yourself and aim to be as exact as possible.

Stay organized. Save all of your receipts and track them against your budget. Be prepared. Allow for unplanned expenses like emergencies, occasional expenses like holidays, birthdays and other life surprises. Leave your credit card in your wallet. Better yet, place it in a milk carton of water and freeze. By the time it thaws, you will likely find it was an impulse buy to satisfy a want and not a need. Using cash will prevent you from spending money you don’t have. Avoid “buy now, pay later” offers. Even if there are no administrative fees, the brutal interest rates will leave you even further in debt if you don’t pay on time.
