A

s far back as the late 1990s, then-Okanagan Sun president Bob Lindsay envisioned the day the city of Kelowna would eventually become home to a Canadian university football program.

YOU’RE GOING TO LOVE LIVING HERE.

Each and every one of his successors—and the entire Sun organization—has been working towards precisely the same goal ever since.

With UBC Okanagan gaining approval last month as a full-time member of the Canada West University Athletics Association, the concept of establishing a university football team in Kelowna has moved a

significant step forward.

As a full-time member, UBC Okanagan is now permitted to apply for new varsity sports teams in the Canada West conference.

CLOSE-UP

Okanagan Sun and UBCO eye up football partnership from A1 The Heat already fields successful Canadian Interuniversity Sport programs in men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball, with the men’s and women’s soccer squads set to join Canada West in 2014.

The university and the Sun organization are about to enter into serious discussions over forming a partnership, with the eventual aim of submitting an application for a Canada West football program.

UBC Okanagan athletics director Rob Johnson said similar arrangements between universities and junior football clubs have worked before, such as the ones in Regina and Laval.

“There’s definitely a significant and sincere interest from both parties to see if we can make this happen,” said Johnson.

“We’ll see if we can work out an agreement so that we can try to provide this opportunity for our student athletes.

We know from Regina and Laval, it can be done.

“Until now, we’ve never been in a position to discuss it seriously. Now we can look at some real issues and see if we can move forward.”

If all goes according to plan over the next two years and Canada West was to approve an application from UBCO for

OKANAGAN SUN president Paul Carson hopes to see a Canada West university football program based in Kelowna by the fall of 2016. a football program, there could conceivably be CIS football in Kelowna by 2016.

Still, both the university and the Sun agree that the real work is only just beginning and the process comes with an

array of challenges.

Due to the numbers of players and staff on a football team, no athletic program on a Canadian university campus requires more resources than football, with an estimated

E G U H !

average budget of between $400,000 and $800,000.

The Sun has already indicated it plans to play a key role in the funding of the program.

Team president Paul Carson believes the financial com-

mitment from both the community and funds raised by the Sun would be substantial.

“We feel confident about the funding side of it,” Carson said.

“In our experience, we be-

lieve both private and corporate support would be there.

Something like CIS football has a big appeal to the corporate side, so we’re not overly concerned with the financial aspect of this.”

Johnson said in addition to hammering out a workable budget, the university and Sun also need to come to terms on a governance model and what the specific structure of the program will look like.

From a team perspective, one of the biggest challenges would be recruiting enough capable student-athletes to fill out a 70- to 80-man university roster. Still, with the right plan and approach, Carson believes the transition from a junior to a university program over a twoyear span would be realistic.

“It’s a situation where you’re more or less rebuilding the team from a football perspective, so it’s going to take some time,” said Carson, a former Canada West player and coach with the Calgary Dinos.

“If we’re going to be competitive from the start, we have to recruit a stronger calibre player, who is academically capable as well. We’re not diminishing the BCFC or junior football, but the overall level of player simply has to be better.

Adopting football at UBCO ultimately comes down to money Partnership from A3 “We would need two full years to do that and we believe it’s very doable.”

Another expectation from Canada West would be upgrades to what would likely become the team’s home field, the Apple Bowl, in order to bring the facilities up to CIS standards.

Seating, locker rooms, washrooms and concessions would all require improvements at the 33-year-old city-owned stadium.

And while renovations to the Apple Bowl aren’t currently a prior-

ity for the City of Kelowna, that could potentially change if UBCO gets the nod to move ahead with football. “(The Apple Bowl) is in our capital plan but it’s not a high priority, there’s a bunch other needs right now,” said Don Backmeyer, sports and event

development manager for the City of Kelowna.

“But if (university football) becomes real, then it definitely becomes a consideration.

“We would get down to business and discuss what could be done. But it would be a discussion to see what fits, given our re-

sources.”

Each May, the Canada West conference membership votes on applications for new varsity teams. When UBCO does submit an official proposal for football, it would need at least 75 per cent approval—or five of the six football programs—to gain acceptance into Canada West.

Currently, Canada West football features six schools: University of British Columbia, University of Calgary, University of Alberta, University of Saskatchewan, University of Regina and University of Manitoba.

U of Calgary athletic director Ron Wuotila admits his institution is interested in the prospects of adding a seventh team, but only if UBC Okanagan comes to the table with a credible and airtight application.

Considering the high profile football enjoys on existing campuses— including national and regional television coverage—and the continued growth of the game across Western Canada, Wuotila said a new member would have to be a solid and reliable partner from day one.

“A new team would WN NTO N W DO TIO

need to bring a lot of positive qualities to the table,” he said.

“It’s no different than running a business. In a sport that’s as healthy and as public as football, we would want to know they could be a strong, positive member for the long-term and wouldn’t weaken the product we already have.

“It’s not a sport you enter half prepared and it’s a decision that wouldn’t be taken lightly.”

When UBCO does submit an application, Canada West executive director Diane St. Denis said every aspect of the document will be evaluated, particularly the key areas of budgets, structure, facilities, staffing and marketing.

In the end, St. Denis said the final decision will rest with the six existing

“It has to be in the best interest of the conference,” St. Denis said.

“Will it enhance the student-athlete experience across the conference?

Does a seventh team help build a better Canada West? What are impacts financially at a time when everybody is feeling the pinch for athletics?

“At the end of the day, if the members perceive (a new program in Kelowna) is in the best interest of the conference, then that is their prerogative.”

In the Okanagan, Sun president Paul Carson is confident there is a sincere appetite to see university football come to town.

After more than 30 years as home to one of the top junior teams in B.C. with a strong tradition, Carson, Sun supporters and the football community generally agree it’s time for the local game to evolve.

And from an organizational standpoint, Carson is also confident the Sun and UBCO are ready to take on the challenge.

“Everybody I’ve talked to in the football community is very excited about it,” Carson said.

“You look at the calibre of player that would be coming to town, and these are the future stars of Canadian football.

“Obviously I’m a little biased, but I think this would be tremendous for the community,” he continued.

“It would be a huge opportunity and put us on the map nationally.

“You see the six schools that are in now and it’s a pretty elite group. Nothing attracts notoriety like football.”

Carson said the Sun is encouraged and thankful for the support and interest shown by UBC Okanagan and is anxious for discussions between the two sides to move forward this summer.

So after more than a decade of mostly speculation and hyperbole, Johnson said the university and the Sun can finally begin making concrete plans to try and bring varsity football to Kelowna.

“If the Okanagan Sun hadn’t approached us about this, I don’t think UBC Okanagan would have been in a position to start going down this road,” Johnson said.

“This is an opportunity where we can draw on the long and proud history of the Sun and work together to take this to the next step. We’ve been talking about this for a long, long time but now we’re finally in a spot where we can have this conversation. There’s a lot of work to do, but I can say today it’s as close as it’s ever been.”

Westside Road wins undesired title again For the second year in a row, the British Columbia Automobile Association has named Westside Road the worst road in the province.

Westside Road earned about 250 of the 2,000 votes in the third annual BCAA Worst Roads survey.

The total was about 100 more than second place BC Parkway, a bike path in Vancouver.

Ken Cousin, BCAA’s associate vice-president of Road Assist, said the survey is done to put a

spotlight on some of the most troublesome roads in the province.

“We know that poor roads create unsafe situations for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians,” said Cousin.

“Improving road safety for B.C. is a top priority for BCAA.” In 2012, the province committed $4.5 million for the realignment and widening of two sections along Westside Road: Near Blue Grouse Road and at Cinnabar Creek.

“Our objective is not to dismiss the good work that’s going on,” said Cousin.

“Based on the votes, (we) see that road users still feel more work needs to be done.”

Voters identified 581 separate stretches of road in B.C. they felt were unsafe, heavily congested or in desperate need of repair.

Eighty-nine per cent of those who voted for Westside Road cited potholes and crumbling pavement as the top concern.

In the coming weeks, the association will provide the complete survey results to municipalities and the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infra-

structure to encourage improvements.

ALL IN A DAY’S WORK…The Kelowna Fire Department’s Technical Rescue Team was

called out to the steep bluffs of Dilworth Mountain, high above the Kelowna Golf and Country Club course Thursday to rescue a small dog stranded on a ledge 50 feet over the edge. The owner of Tyson, the threeyear-old miniature Doberman pinscher, declined to give his name or say what exactly happened other than that the dog got off his leash in the park above the bluffs. Acting KFD officer and Technical Rescue Team leader Joe Kolar said his firefighters were called in as they would be in any similar rescue situation because of the steep terrain. The rescue, attended by a total of nine firefighters, resulted in a tense few moments for the dog’s owner, but in the end, he was reunited with his little furry friend. Both quickly exited the park, which is located off Chilcotin Drive on Dilworth Mountain. The dog was not injured as a result of his hillside adventure.

Premier as MLA ‘great opportunity’ Wade Paterson STAFF REPORTER

When West Kelowna Mayor Doug Findlater met with MLA Ben Stewart to discuss local issues Tuesday afternoon, he had no idea Stewart would be giving up his Westside-Kelowna riding for Premier Christy Clark the next day.

“My initial reaction was, ‘Wow,’” said Findlater, noting he learned about Clark’s decision to run for the Westside-Kelowna riding in a byelection around noon Wednesday. “Premier Clark is full of surprises.”

But as far as the District of West Kelowna is concerned, it might not be a bad surprise.

Findlater said the pre-

mier’s announcement will likely be a great lobbying opportunity for the district, especially while she hits the campaign trail in the coming weeks.

“I expect we’ll get her ear for a fair share of events,” said Findlater.

He added he’ll take it upon himself to make sure the premier is aware of local issues.

The West Kelowna mayor noted the region has been “well represented” in the past by high-profile federal and provincial politicians such as Stockwell Day and Rick Thorpe.

It is unlikely Clark will be able to attend the number of local events Stewart was able to during his four-year term as MLA. Findlater said both

Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson and Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick have familiarized themselves with many Westside issues.

He’s optimistic the other two Central Okanagan MLAs could cover for the premier when needed if she’s elected MLA in a byelection this summer.

The four-year relationship between the district and Stewart was not always a smooth one.

During the summer of 2011, the district objected to a proposed land exchange between Westbank First Nation and the provincial government.

In November 2011, Stewart told Capital News the issue had put a strain

on the relationship between governments.

“Our relationship was not strong at that time, as a result of that,” said Findlater. “But in the last year or two, when we put that issue behind us, Ben has tuned into our issues… he’s been a really good advocate for us in the last couple of years.”

New Democratic Party leader Adrian Dix announced Wednesday the party would run a candidate against Clark in the upcoming byelection.

Findlater said he looks forward to developing a working relationship with the future Westside-Kelowna MLA, regardless of the party he/she belongs to. wpaterson@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @PatersonWade

NDP ready to fight byelection battle Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix says Premier Christy Clark will not get -a free pass into the B.C rLegislature.

- He said the NDP will put up a candidate in the upcoming byelection in -Westside-Kelowna.

- “We are looking fortward to running a strong ecampaign with an Okaenagan candidate against dthe Premier in West-side-Kelowna,” said Dix. - “The B.C. NDP will run a candidate with local roots who can offer the people of Kelowna and West Kelowna a strong, local voice in the legislature.”

He said the as-yet unnamed NDP candidate will advocate for quality healthcare and seniors care, jobs and a thriving local economy, including local agricultural industries and opportunities for young people.

“We will hold the government accountable for its record and for the commitments it made during the election, including its commitment to a balanced budget, to decreased debt and increased job creation,” said Dix. “The Liberal Party will not get a free pass on aspects of its record such as the threat of massive rate increases at BC Hydro due to the government’s mismanagement and the urgent need for investment in our forests.”

The local NDP constituency association will choose the party’s candidate.

Carole Gordon ran for the NDP in the riding in last month’s provincial election and finished a distant second to Liberal incumbent Ben Stewart, who took 58 per cent of the vote.

On Wednesday, Stewart said he is stepping aside to let Clark run in a

byelection in the hope of winning a seat in the B.C. Legislature.

Clark lost her Vancouver-Point Grey seat to NDP challenger David Eby in the May 14 vote.

The Liberals won the election with 49 of the 85 seats, despite expectations from political pundits that Clark could pull it off.

Public opinion poll numbers that showed her party down by 20 points heading into the 28-day

campaign Dix said he planned to put every effort into supporting his party’s candidate in the Westside-Kelowna byelection and would make the case for strong, local representation.

Clark, who lives in Vancouver, said Wednesday she plans to make a second residence in the riding. awaters@kelownacapnews.com

letter of the week Electric bills have gone through the roof

To the editor: I recently read a letter in the Capital News regarding the high cost of electricity, written by Edward Gaillard (Electricity Rates Have Almost Tripled Under Fortis, April 18).

I have been frustrated with my growing bills over the past year and finally decided it is time to say something.

They are getting ridiculously expensive this past year and a bit and I am tired of it.

I first bought my home five years ago as a single mom, even then I was shocked at how high my bills could get. I called, got on an equalized payment plan that worked in my favour for the first year after that, but in the past two years I have not been able to catch up on my equalized bill payments with all the rate increases.

I looked at my past bill for the billing period April 25, 2013, to May 24, 2013. In my first block, my bill was $70, the second jumped to more than double that, $220.

Enbridge pipeline isn’t dead yet

O

ne of Premier Christy Clark’s first tasks of the new term will be to resume trade talks with Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Several daunting tasks await. Clark must repair relations with Alberta Premier Alison Redford after B.C.’s theatrics over oil pipelines before the election, and prepare for the results of a federal environmental review of the Enbridge Northern Gateway proposal in the fall.

Some people were surprised last Friday when the B.C. government released its final written submission to the federal environmental review panel on Northern Gateway. It was widely interpreted as B.C.’s outright rejection of

the project, but it’s not as simple as that.

Clark and B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake signalled several times before the election that Tom they were not getting Fletcher the answers they wanted from Enbridge. But they stuck to the principle that the hearings must be completed.

The NDP repeated for months that the B.C. Liberal government had forfeited its own review and handed jurisdiction over the environmental assessment to Ottawa. In fact, a pipeline that runs across two provinces is by definition a matter of federal jurisdiction.

B.C. could have held its own parallel set of hearings, which was the NDP’s stated preference, but in no circum-

VICTORIA VIEWS

stance does the province have a veto.

And both the B.C. Liberal government and Enbridge were careful to leave the door open for further talks.

A closer reading of their comments shows that the key difference at this stage is one of timing.

“The panel must determine if it is appropriate to grant a certificate for the project as currently proposed on the basis of a promise to do more study and planning after the certificate is granted,” Lake said. “Our government does not believe that a certificate should be granted before these important questions are answered.”

According to Enbridge executive Janet Holder, those important questions can’t all be answered until the hearings are over. The company maintains that every river crossing and spill response plan can’t be done in detail during the

two-year hearings.

B.C.’s final submission runs to nearly 100 pages. It goes into detail on the inconsistencies and unanswered questions on such vital topics as whether diluted bitumen can sink in water.

In short, the province argues that it can sink if the oil is in fresh water, or if it is exposed to weathering so lighter fractions evaporate, or if it is mixed with sediments that increase its density.

These are pertinent conditions if heavy oil were to leak into a river in springtime, when water runs fast and cold and brown with sediment. Then there are the obstacles presented by responding to a spill in remote wilderness and heavy snow.

Given both provincial and aboriginal opposition in B.C., the Enbridge

A Tradition of Sound Advice

▼ YOUTH VOTE

Adults disparage politics and politicians, so why expect youth to get involved?

To the editor: Re: Barry Gerding’s editorial May 23 about youth not being interested in politics. (Let’s Face the Reality—Politics and Voting is for Us Old Fogeys.)

I’m rounding up to 40 myself, so can’t really be categorized as “youth” anymore. I’ve taken on all of the typical adult responsibilities such as having children, getting a job, owning a home and paying taxes.

But despite my grownup status, I still find politics boring and somewhat confusing.

Especially Canadian politics, which I

would go so far as to say is yawn-inducing.

I know I should care more. I contribute heavily to the tax base that pays these politicians’ salaries. I do care enough to vote, but still don’t really understand each party’s full platform.

In a young person’s world, they are concerned with getting a first job and maybe making more than minimum wage so they can pay for their over-inflated government owned car insurance. They want to know that they can afford to go to university or college and then have

a job when they’re done educating themselves.

Pensions may be a concern to them, but likely it’s more of a concern to their parents—and at the tender age of 20, 55 is really old and a long ways away.

If politics is to be geared more towards the youth, then the politicians need to become more youthful too. The people in “the club” now have been there so long, they’ve lost touch with the real world and what’s actually causing people grief.

And if they are aware,

they’ve done a great job of ignoring what the people want.

All today’s youth hear is how terrible the politicians are and how they don’t listen anyways, so what’s the point of voting—Ummm, correct me if I’m wrong, but don’t youth often complain that adults never listen to them and ignore what they’re asking for? And yet, we want them to take an active role in politics and voting? We, as adults, can’t get the politicians to listen to us!

I’m not saying the apathetic attitude youth

have towards voting is a good or acceptable stance.

But I really do understand why there’s such a lack of interest—even at the municipal level—towards voting. Nothing seems to change, and even though the people we are voting for now will affect the youth 20 years from now, it’s actually the here and now that youth are concerned with—jobs, education, affordable living—and maybe a little bit of fun can be thrown in there somewhere too.

Tanya Odorizzi, West Kelowna

Cannan: Get a spine and speak on our behalf To the editor: What person fortunate enough to be living in a free society, (except for a member of the Communist Party), would volunteer away their right to democratically elect the people who make the laws that control that society?

Certainly not me. Certainly not any conservative voter.

My father served in Europe during WWII to

protect my right to democracy.

After reading PM Looks to Supreme Court for Direction on Senate Reform (Ron Cannan’s MP’s Report, May 28 Capital News), it is clear that Ron Cannan, Conservative MP for Kelowna-Lake Country, is among those who would have us continue have our democratic right to elect our lawmakers be granted

to another man—he being the prime minister of the day, Mr. Harper.

In his cut-and-paste opinion piece, Mr. Cannan offers the view of a changed senate. The Canadian tax payer would be granted by government the “democratic selection of senate nominees.”

How dare Mr. Cannan, think that the electorate is so stupid as to accept his notion as democratic?

From those who would be nominated for such a senate process, the prime minister would once again select his favourite brownnoser who would support Mr. Harper’s laws, in return for a guaranteed tax-paid luxurious lifestyle.

Dear Mr. Cannan, what you describe as reform and democracy is the exact system used by communist dictators all

over the world to implement their plans. We have elected you for more than enough years to guarantee you a fine federal government retirement. Do us all a favour, gather some personal courage and speak up on our behalf.

Be your own man and loudly call on Mr. Harper to abolish the senate now.

Sandy Prichard, Kelowna

Family will soon be living in the dark The thing that bothers me most is that we are no longer heating the house, our air conditioning isn’t on yet either, and since it is lighter out there is little need for lights to be left on. I also unplug most of my appliances that are not in use.

I am 29 years old, married now, and we have one 11-year-old son. I am not the kind of woman who spends money frivolously on clothing, I do not get my nails and hair done, but I would like to give my child the opportunity to participate in sports and camps like most parents.

We live modestly, and to

be honest we kind of have to due to your high rates.

I have spoken with many friends in a similar situation, the end result is that due to all of the big bills, we are forced to make big changes to help ourselves. It is hard enough to get ahead these days as it is, so we have no choice to look at other

heating options like pellet stoves for example.

It may cost more upfront, but at the pace my Fortis bill keeps rising, how are we supposed to own homes, raise families and keep our head above water when at times, electric bills can end up being as much as a mortgage payment.

I am hoping to be heard not just for myself and my family, but for all the young families out there.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

B.C. gov’t asks for answers Express yourself before pipeline building starts

We welcome letters that comment in a timely manner about stories and editorials published in the Capital News.

Fletcher from A8 pipeline is unlikely to be imposed, and last week Conservative cabinet minister James Moore clearly ruled that out. The B.C. government has consistently maintained that the current project does not meet Clark’s often-repeated five conditions, including the vaguely defined “fair share” of rev-

enues, and Moore said the federal government agrees with those conditions.

The B.C. government has to face some other uncomfortable realities as well. If heavy oil pipelines are such a risk, how does B.C. manage the one that has stretched across remote and populated areas for 60 years?

rom the beginning, I knew it was a stormy day, but the sun was shining when I set off for the steep climb into Rose Valley Regional Park, from the pond up to the ridge above.

It’s not far, but it started to drizzle as we started out, and by the time we were halfway up the hill, it was raining, not just drizzling.

However, when we got to the ridge and began to walk along it, the views out over the lake and the City of Kelowna and up and down the valley, made it all worthwhile.

It’s also quite different, ecologically, from the

Work has been done in the park this winter and spring to reduce the fire hazard by removing undergrowth and burning piles of dry vegetation.

On the way down, we met a group of intrepid mountain bikers who has just ridden up the steep section, and another group of sodden hikers with wet dogs, but no motorized vehicles disturbed the peaceful morning.

That’s one of the recommendations of the Trails Strategy for British Columbia soon to be released by the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, that management of motorized trails be integrated into the new Resource Roads Act. Action item 16 of 22 also notes that it’s essential that trail and recreation interests are considered in resource road decisions, in part to ensure that they provide access to trailheads.

TRAILS can lead to some terrific views and sometimes even to a place to rest your weary bones while you enjoy them.

That has been a serious issue here. Several years ago there was a lack of maintenance on the two forest service roads from Kelowna to access the Trans Canada Trail section through Myra Canyon, because they weren’t being used as industrial roads. They were so in need of maintenance it became almost impossible for recreational users to access that popular hiking and biking trail.

Managing irresponsible Off-Road Vehicle use was the topic of Action item nine, while 15 addressed the need for compliance and enforcement staff.

Without being specific, items 11 and 12 noted there are a number of options for funding…I wonder what they may be.

On the whole, the strategy addresses most

Flooding fears have subsided Judie Steeves STAFF REPORTER

Snowmelt in the Okanagan is nearly a month ahead of last year, when it was delayed by a cold, wet spring, and emergency officials are breathing a sigh of relief.

As melting snow runs off into the valley bot-

tom at a slow, steady rate, there’s less likelihood of more flooding, particularly as long as there aren’t heavy rainstorms.

In his early June snow survey bulletin, David Campbell, head of the province’s River Forecast Centre, says because of a rapid melt in early May with hot weather,

the flood risk from snowmelt has eased earlier in the Okanagan.

Normally, he notes, the peak occurs later in the season, but this year it’s a couple of weeks earlier than usual—but that also means that summer low flow periods are also expected to occur earlier than normal, he adds.

Although the month of May began hotter than usual, it ended with three weeks of rainier than usual weather.

The next week or so is forecast to be sunny, warm and dry, without any more rain that could be expected to result in excessive runoff.

Mission Creek is still running high but it peaked May 23 and has remained below that level of flow ever since.

Boaters are warned to be alert for floating debris in Okanagan Lake as high runoff this year carried more logs and branches into the lake than usual. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @OutsideOkanagan

The winners of Kelowna Toyota’s RED TAG DAYS BONUS DRAW Gordon and Susan received their cheque for $1,000 from Jack Kofoed and Greg Klein of Kelowna Toyota

Step forward to help fight arthritis Walk, strut, dance or stomp—move it any way you want. Just get moving.

That’s the message for the annual Walk To Fight Arthritis fundraiser, takiing place Sunday, 10 a.m., from Stuart Park in Kelowna.

Similar walks are taking place elsewhere as well to help The Arthritis Society give hope and support to the more than 600,000 men, women and children in B.C and the Yukon living with arthritis.

The Arthritis Society’s signature annual fundraiser, the walk helps support groundbreaking research, programs, education and services for the over 4.6 million Canadians living with arthritis.

The walk also helps build awareness and communicate the importance of movement when dealing with arthritis.

“Movement is something that so many of us take for granted,” said Janet Yale, the society’s president and CEO. “It comes far less easi-

get used to being

ly for people with arthritis.

“And yet, movement is helpful in so many ways: it loosens joints and helps relieve pain.

“So we’re reminding Canadians to keep moving, stay active in whatever capacity they can.

“At the same time, we’re also growing a movement—a movement of Canadians of every age, from every walk of life, all coming together to help people live well today and to create a future free from arthritis.”

In addition to the walk itself, each location offers family activities ranging from a mascot race in Paradise, Newfoundland to a teddy bear picnic in Kelowna.

Participants can also

try their hand at arthritis-themed activities designed to help them relate to the challenges faced by people living with arthritis.

In 2012, more than 7,200 walk participants raised more than $1.5 million to support vital research into treatment and prevention, as well as the delivery of resources, programs and services for people living with arthritis.

Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in Canada, and may cost an estimated $33 billion annually in lost work days and health care costs.

Salsa’s hot after all these years

Jennifer Smith

STAFF REPORTER

YouTube is one fine teacher and Trevour Salloum, the man behind one of Kelowna’s first free salsa drop-in evenings, would know.

After taking 20 dance lessons, or so, YouTube acted as tutor to get him to the fast-paced athletic ballet of feet, grace, wit and synchronicity a talented salsa dancer showcases.

Yet, salsa is a social concept. Artistic, communicative and somewhat pointless to practise alone in one’s living room.

This is a little of why the Rotary Arts Centre throws open its doors to the salsa community for one night every week, whether there’s theatrical performances in the Mary Irwin, arts functions in the boardroom and classrooms or the building is empty.

“It’s sort of become like a social club for people to meet,” said Salloum.

The dance happens Thursday evenings.

Sometimes there are six people; sometimes the dance floor is packed.

It may take two to tango, but the people who come out to practise and learn the mambo or the cucaracha are often singles.

“We get a lot of ESL students…who want to meet people,” he said, and they’re rarely of Latin descent.

Usually women in relationships come out first. They’ve taken ballet growing up, yoga or maybe even jazz dance and are a little less reti-

JENNIFER SMITH/CAPITAL NEWS

IT’S CHEAP, fun, artistic and athletic. Trevor Salloum leads Salsa Thursdays at the Rotary Centre for the Arts which still attracts quite the crowd six years on. cent to start crafting their moves in front of others.

Invariably, if they’re having a good time, their spouse follows.

Salsa is a rock step.

The lead dancer moves on beats one, two and three, leaves out four, then again on five, six and seven, leaving out eight.

Their partner, typically the woman, takes the op-

posite.

Following in the machismo Latin style, the male is typically the lead, taking the more aggressive role and it can get tough to keep step.

“In the beginning we play slow music,” said Salloum. “We tend to leave the dancing fast to later in the evening.”

Salloum is a drummer

and came to the dance style through his own musical roots. A naturopath doctor by trade, he’s always been a musician and his love for the drums eventually superseded his original career. He now writes books on drums for a living.

“Drumming and dancing kind of go hand in hand,” he explained. “I

play salsa music, so it made sense for me to learn.”

Initially, Salloum would travel to Vancouver to dance, learning in different clubs in the city’s lively dance scene. When he ran the idea of a weekly dance session by administrators at the Rotary Centre for the Arts, they were very receptive and, six years later, the evenings are still going strong.

Lessons begin at 8 p.m. every Thursday and cost $5. At 9 p.m., the dance begins, working from the more simple moves everyone might follow, to the more complicated. A drop-in for the dance costs $2 and there are cheaper rates for those planning to attend multiple times.

“It’s a pretty great deal, good exercise, a safe environment and lots of fun,” said Salloum.

The Rotary Arts Centre salsa evenings have now been around the longest of any salsa event in the city—and there are others. Habitat, on Leon, offers a salsa night and there is a group that meets at UBCO. Several of the local dance studios offer lessons, but the nearly free evening in the downtown core has stood the test of time.

As for Salloum, he’s a little more behind the scenes, these days. Occasionally he plays the drums alongside or comes to the dances, but he tends to organize, handle the public relations and keep to his music and his books. jsmith@kelownacapnews.com Tweet: @jaswrites

ENTERTAINMENT from A16 have predicted such high debut chart success in North America but right now the ladies are riding high with their hit simply titled Wings and its simplistic notions of self-empowerment (again playing the old Spice Girls socalled messaging).

Like Wings, the up-tempo songs here often turn into cheerleader arena chants with palmas (why use synth hand claps?) but with forgettable hooks while the power ballads merely crawl along and grow annoying.

A couple of minor bright spots include the flamenco guitar on Going Nowhere (a song on layabout boyfirends) while the venerable but buyable Missy Elliott turns up on How Ya Doin’ to lay down a standard, safe rap.

Fans may want to know that this also comes as a 16-track Deluxe Edition.

BENNETT/BRUBECK: THE WHITE HOUSE SESSIONS LIVE 1962 (SONY)

Dave Brubeck and Tony Bennett were hired

by The White House at

summer’s end 1962 for an outdoor concert for students who had been interns and volunteers. The gig was a big warm thank you from JFK. Unfortunately, the tapes for this illustrious gig were lost and more or less became legendary over the last 50 years.

When Brubeck died last year, well into his 90s, the lost tapes were finally found misfiled in Sony’s classical music archives and are now available for the very first time.

Brubeck performed only four tunes in his half hour set with extended pieces Nomad and Castillian Blue, and of course

his signature song Take Five that sounds oddly rushed here and doesn’t feature the great and expected Joe Morello drum solo.

Tony Bennett brought his own small combo and he ripped through show

tune classics (all around two minutes!) like Rags To Riches, Make Someone Happy and Just In Time from the musical Bells Are Ringing.

Bennett also sang his signature I Left My Heart In San Francisco which had become a huge hit for him just a few weeks earlier.

But the real treasures of this album happened when Bennett and Brubeck decided to do an on the spot, unrehearsed four-song set and the two played off each other with great aplomb, highlighted by snappy versions of Chicago (That Toddlin’ Town), Lullaby Of Broadway and That Old Black Magic.

The show somehow heralded an end of innocence and unforeseen huge changes for the two artists when The Beatles

and their English Invasion usurped the youth market, while JFK was assassinated just three months later.

A fine document of a bygone era.

NEW POLITICS: A BAD GIRL IN HARLEM (RCA)

New Politics is a power pop trio from Denmark who moved to New York a couple of years ago in hopes of stardom after being signed by RCA.

The band’s first album more or less stiffed but this follow up album is faring a little better with the party hit Harlem that sounds as if it was inspired in part by

Billy Idol’s take of Mony Mony.

The rest of this slim, 10-track, half hour disc features upbeat arena chant rock that quickly gets held up by its own lightweight limitations.

The ska-pop of Overcome isn’t unlike early No Doubt and offers perhaps another avenue to explore, but there is more ambition than talent here.

Highest flyers around bring their show to Kelowna Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

Kelowna freestyle motocross riders Kris Garwasiuk and Bruce Cook are the best at what they do in Canada and amongst the highest flyers in all of North America.

They travel the world putting on their high flying freestyle show at festivals, rodeos and monster truck shows, flying through the air performing stunts on their motocross bikes.

This weekend the pair—owners of Global FMX—will be doing their thing in front of friends and family at Prospera Place in Kelowna in a self-produced, freestyle motocross show the likes of which Kelowna has likely never seen before.

Eight freestyle motocross riders, four mountain bikers, two BMX riders and two sport bike riders will perform tricks and high-flying stunts on Saturday night at Prospera Place in what’s billed as Freestyle Madness, a two-and-a-half hour show complete with rock music, pyrotechnics and a light show.

“I’ve been doing these shows for 16 years and this is definitely one of the coolest productions we’ve

done,” said Garwasiuk, who at 31 is considered one of the top freestyle motocross riders in the world and a pioneer of the sport. “We’ve got freestyle motocross, BMX, mountain bikes and sports bikes all choreographed to music and pyro with a crazy laser-light show.

It’s like a mix of a rock concert with action mo-

tor-sports, cued up with pyro and lighting. It’s going to be a spectacular show.”

Most of the riders in the show are the tops at what they do in their sport in Canada, said Garwasiuk. Three of the eight freestyle motocross riders are from Kelowna while all four mountain bikers hail from the area as

BRUCE COOK pulls a cliffhanger at a recent show. The action adventure show at Prospera Place on Saturday will feature freestyle motocross, mountain bike, BMX and sport bike stunt riders.

Fish derby June 15 A huge fishing derby coming up next weekend on Okanagan Lake will benefit the youth program at the Okanagan chapter of the B.C. Wildlife Federation.

The B.C. Sport Fishing Guide and Rodney’s Reel Outdoors are sponsoring the inaugural Kelowna Fishing Derby on June 15 on Okanagan Lake a day that is going to be filled with fun, prizes

and cash for the winners with proceeds going back to support youth fishing in the Okanagan.

Over $20,000 in prizes will be given away and every participant will be entered to win one of two door prizes: An all-inclusive salmon and halibut fly-in fishing trip from Vancouver to Kyuquot Sound for four days with West Coast Resorts valued at $10,000. The other

prize is a Salter Watercraft 10 foot inflatable boat that can be blown up in 10 minutes valued at $1,500.

There are also cash Prizes for the longest fish caught including a $5,000 prize for the biggest fish, $2,000 for second place and $1,000 for third.

does one of the BMX riders. It’s the culture of adventure sports in Kelowna and the Okanagan that had Garwasiuk yearning to pull off a massive arena show in his home town.

“Kelowna is known as a hot bed for action sports,” he said. “That’s one of the main reasons why we chose Kelowna. We could have gone to Penticton or Vernon or Vancouver or Abbotsford but we thought ‘let’s

do it in Kelowna’ because there is such a strong following with action sports.

The local guys in Kelowna truly are the best in North America.”

Garwasiuk and Cook have also gone the extra mile to make sure the event is family oriented.

A Kelowna Secondary School graduate, Garwasiuk and his wife are expecting their first child and he says they want to introduce the sport to fam-

ilies. There is a free event in the Prospera Place parking lot Saturday at 2 p.m. with monster trucks, hot rods as well as other demonstrations kicking off the event.

“It’s going to be much more than just a freestyle motocross show,” he said.

“We’re having a tail gate party before the show where families can come down and see monster trucks and watch different demonstrations. We tried

to keep it as cheap as possible in the first year and create a yearly event.”

Tickets are $25 but kids under 10 are free with a paying adult. A ticket also gets you into a pit party before the show between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. before the event begins at 7 p.m.

Tickets are available through www.selectyourtickets.com kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Team B.C. to feature five local players Five players from the Kelowna area have made the grade for Basketball B.C.’s U14 team.

Nathan Humes, Owen Keyes, Grant Shephard, Mitch Glutek and Mason Bourcier were named to the 24-player provincial squad following a tryout camp last weekend in North Vanocuver.

The local players will

play for the U14 junior Heat in an upcoming tournament in Seattle, before travelling to the coast at the end of June to train and play for Team B.C. in a number of tournaments, both within the province and the United States.

to 26, as part of the Okanagan South regional team coached by Troy White and Fred Bourcier.

The Okanagan club placed fourth out of 20 teams in the tournament, just losing the bronze position by one point in double overtime. The team finished the tourney at 4-2.

The Okanagan South

regional team is composed largely of players from the UBCO U14 Junior Heat, also coached by White and Bourcier.

Other member of the junior Heat are: Taylor Knoll, Spencer Doody, Kanaan McGoran, Connor White, Justin Peleshytyk, Prabh Chahal, Bryce Koop and Rylan Skelton.

Briscoe to play for Briercrest College in Saskatchewan Jadon Frank

Briscoe, who plans to study in the BA Business Administration program, has lots of interests outside of the basketball court and is an example of balance.

CONTRIBUTED

Kelowna basketball player Daniel Briscoe is returning to post secondary athletics and has committed to play for Briercrest College in Saskatchewan and play for the men’s basketball team in the 2013-14 .

After playing for two years for UBC-Okanagan in the PacWest conference (BCAA at the time) Briscoe transferred to Trinity Western University where he took classes for a season before taking the 2012-13 season off from school and basketball.

Head coach Rod Adrian is excited that Briscoe has decided to make Briercrest his return destination for basketball.

“Daniel brings with him maturity and valuable experience as he suits up in a Briercrest uniform for his first season here,” Adrian said. “After playD ing previously at UBCO, I will look to him to provide solid leadership and contribute alongside our other veteran players. Dan is a dynamic player who will fit in nicely to our fast attack offence. His play making ability will not only give him opportunities to score, but he will make those around him better too.”

A KSS graduate, Briscoe will be joining his younger sister Brooke at Briercrest this fall. Brooke was an exciting early signing in December for the women’s basketball team, and both Briscoe siblings should have a large impact on the Briercrest basketball teams this season.

Briscoe is a 6-foot4 shooting guard who graduated from KSS in 2009. Upon graduating he received the President’s Entrance Scholarship and Management Faculty Scholarship from UBCO where he studied business management.

Briscoe started his basketball career at a young age and gradually

Thompson Okanagan Football Club results round up Nathan Persoon ran and finished with a shot off the back post.

TOFC keeper Victor Gouchee (Vernon)

Thompson Okanagan Football Club teams traveled to Kamloops last weekend, taking on teams from Surrey and Coquitlam at McArthur Island Park as the rep soccer seasons heads towards the playoffs.

Here’s a look at the results.

&

The TOFC U-13 girls recorded a win and a loss in a double-header weekend in Kamloops. In the first game against Surrey United, TOFC was able to mount some sustained pressure but Surrey’s effective counter-attacking led to an early 2-0 deficit. Grace Miller (Kamloops) brought TOFC within one goal with a perfectly placed ball in the low corner on a penalty kick late in the first half. The second half saw TOFC again applying some pressure but unable to convert any chances with Surrey winning 3-1. In the second game, TOFC played Coquitlam, winning by a score of 4-0.

Teaghan Wallace, Tatum Tataryn and newcomer Savanna Yamamoto with a pair, did the scoring for TOFC. The U-13 girls conclude regular season play with another double header weekend in the Lower Mainland June 15 and 16 with games against Coastal FC and Fusion FC.

U17/18 BOYS

The TOFC U17/18 boys lost 2-1 to Surrey United last Saturday. Surrey opened with a quick attack and was awarded a corner kick thirty seconds into the match. TOFC showed,

however, that they were ready to play and countered well. At seven minutes, outside midfielder Nathan Persoon (Kelowna) placed a perfect cross to Matt Fielding (Kelowna) whose header just missed the net.

And at fifteen minutes,

the “home” side scored the game’s first goal. Midfielder Ayo Fashanu (Kelowna) won the ball on his right wing and passed into the middle for striker Cole Kingzett (Penticton).

After a soft first touch, Kingzett switched the ball to the left side where

The gamed finished with a 2-1 win for TOFC. The girls continued their strong play into Sunday as they faced a physical Coquitlam Metro Ford.

The teams played a hard fought game and both keepers were kept busy however neither team were able to capitalize on their opportunities and the game ended in a scoreless draw.

cit into a two-stroke win at the 2013 PGA of BC Assistants’ Championship held at the Chilliwack Golf Club.

Machtaler followed up his opening day 69 with a blistering 65, punctuated by a chip-in birdie at the 15th which gave him an insurmountable lead over first-round leader Gordy Scutt of the Olympic View Golf Club.

“That definitely gave me a comfortable cushion,” said Machtaler, who added that he wasn’t even thinking of holing the 12yard pitch shot from behind the 15th green.

“Making it was the

last thing on my mind,” said Machtaler. “I was pretty happy when it went in.”

Machtaler dedicated the victory to his high school friend Chris Walker, who passed away May 23 from stomach cancer.

“I’d like to think a part of this is due to him,” said an emotional Machtaler.

Machtaler cashed a nice cheque for $3,000 and had the added bonus of playing with friends Scutt and Lindsay Bernakevitch in the final grouping of the day.

There were several other assistant pros who played in the event.

The book is called a comic look at the game of golf in all its glory and idiosyncrasies. Arranged like an eighteen-hole golf course—including trivia refreshments and three additional playoff holes—this collection of short stories offers life lessons and relies heavily on golf’s fundamental tenets to remind golfers why they are so obsessed with this pastime.

The reading is June 12 at 7 p.m. at the Kelowna branch of the Okanagan Regional Library.

“After the campaign, I think that everyone in the school is more aware of not only the impact of indoor tanning but also outdoor tanning and how they can protect themselves from a very preventable form of cancer,” said Sarah Day, a student leader of the campaign at Immaculata.

“It’s great to see so many young adults being educated about the harm that ultraviolet rays can cause and pledging to say sun safe this summer,” added Julia Lalach, who also led the awareness initiative at Immaculata.

Premier’s byelection decision not a total surprise

J

ust when we thought the never ending wondrous world of B.C. politics could not get any more bizarre—the Liberal government pulls another rabbit out of the proverbial political hat.

It sort of reminds me of this line from Alice in Wonderland: “It gets curiouser and curiouser.”

Kelowna-Westside re-elected Liberal MLA Ben Stewart has offered up his hard-earned seat at the Big House in Victoria so that reigning Premier Christy Clark—who did not win her own Vancouver-Point Grey riding— can run here in the byelection and hopefully secure herself a front-row spot in the legislative assembly.

Whoda thunk?

A few weeks back I suggested that the possibility existed that political climber and self-absorbed Penticton Mayor Dan Ashton would give up his provincial party seat won in the recent election, therefore maintaining his status in Penticton, not

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge ticking off the voters in that community, and earn big points for political favours down the road. But that didn’t happen.

I also suggested that perhaps Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick might perform the honourable self-sacrifice and offer up his spot.

Apparently he did, as did Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thompson (a gem of a fellow).

But at the end of the day, Clark chose Stewart’s head for loping.

Hmm…to quote an old Star Trek star, “Is that weird, or what?”

Of course, from a straight strategic perspective it makes logical sense that Clark would seek a seat that is pretty much a slam-dunk to win.

The Liberals can’t afford another embarrassment at the polls and so picking a spot in the sunny Socred birthplace such as Kelowna makes sense. I just never considered Stewart as the option. I like him. I may not be keen on his leader, but Stewart is a good man from a good Okanagan family and has served our area well.

I have no doubts there is much more to this whole saga than we will ever know. Stewart, being the calm, cool and calculated character he is, will never let us be the wiser.

But rest assured he will be taken care of in the wake of what the premier called his “heroic” sacrifice for her behalf.

Of course, wellknown political columnist Alex Tsakumis had this entire scenario nailed a few days ago when he

first suggested the ‘Ben for Christy’ ploy was in play.

Tsakumis told any reader who checked out his inky thoughts: “You heard it here first. Christy Clark’s negatives are so strong in almost every single last one of the safest B.C. Liberal ridings in the province, her people have been forced to approach Westside-Kelowna MLA, and all round good guy, Ben Stewart, to step aside for the good of the premier. Clark, I’m told, will run in a byelection in Kelowna and may even have plans to move there…”

So here we are. Once again it seems Kelowna is destined to play home and host to a B.C. ‘right wing’ premier—whether we want to or not. Clark will never gain the adoration of locals such as W.A.C. Bennett did or even that of his son, former premier Bill Bennett. The only question for me is, if Clark wins, will she hold an annual garden party in town like Wacky did and will I be invited?

There is the absolute long-shot that protest voters angered with a byelection will rally to defeat Clark yet again.

NDP candidate Carolyn Gordon is apparently running once more, and according to my Conservative sources, that party plans to parachute in a a ‘strong’ candidate for the byelection brawl. (‘Strong’ rules out party leader John Cummins, of course). Regardless, the odds are good that when the dust settles, Clark will have finally ‘earned’ her spot in the Big Chair at the Big House.

And that, of course, only means a field day for media headline writers. I can see it now…

K-Town Christy Rides Again’ or ‘Christy Captures K-Town.’

Only in B.C. you say? Some things never change.

Bora Bora’s beauty deserves a long lingering look An Amlotte CONTRIBUTOR

BORA BORA, French Polynesia—It was just after 6 a.m. when the sound of a ship’s horn awakened us. My husband, Jeff, and I looked at each other sleepily, then scrambled to our knees so we could look out the window above our bed.

There it was in all its glory: a massive cruise liner that overwhelmed Bora Bora’s western lagoon.

I felt sorry for the passengers.

If the cruise ship that visited the previous day was any indication, the passengers would have only one day here, and that wouldn’t be enough.

To see the island in all its splendour, you need time and you need to get out of Vaitape, the very spot they were about to encounter. I could only imagine their confusion when the reality didn’t match the travel brochures’ depiction of a trop-

ical Eden.

Vaitape is a collection of tourist shops, lowkey eateries and disheveled private residences along Bora Bora’s main drag, a pothole-riddled road that circles the not-very-picturesque main island. Because French Polynesia is expensive, Jeff and I had decided to spend the first half of our April honeymoon in an affordable studio in Vaitape. That way, for the second half, we could splurge on a five-star resort on one of the motus, or islets, on the barrier reef that surrounds the turquoise lagoon at the heart of Bora Bora.

On the day of the cruise liner’s visit, we took the advice of our host, a friendly Frenchman named Gerard who owns the Sunset Hill Lodge, and stayed away from the crowds.

We set out to kayak across the lagoon to one of the motus near the airport. It was just a 20-minute paddle across the deep part, “and

As we left the boat and swam to deeper water, Simon said: “Look straight down.

Keep looking.” A few minutes went by as we all peered into the deep blue. Then he came up and yelled in a thick French accent, “Mohn-TA! Right below!” I still didn’t see anything. “Three manta!” Simon yelled again. Then “four,” and ultimately “five! Woooooo-hoooo!” I started to panic. “This is what I came for,” flashed through my head, “and I’m going to miss it.”

We didn’t have the best weather that day, but here, away from the crowing roosters and barking dogs, Bora Bora is at its best. Even on a gray day the lagoon reveals its many shades of blue and the rich marine life just below the surface.

We returned to this area just a few days later on a lagoon tour. Simon, our guide, took the time to educate our group of seven about the lagoon’s ecosystem, warning us not to disturb the marine life and to keep an eye on our fins so we wouldn’t damage the coral around us.

The first stop on the tour was also going to be the highlight, if all went well. We stopped near an area frequented by manta rays on the east-

The over-water bungalows, 1,010 square feet each, have identical layouts: a separate living room, bedroom, walk-in closet and large bathroom with tub and shower.

Room prices increase as the view improves. Each bungalow has its own spacious shaded patio and a private pontoon with ladder for direct access to the lagoon.

At midday, the azure water looks its brightest, so we had arrived just in time for that visual treat. It couldn’t have taken more than two minutes for us to find our swimsuits and jump in.

In general, Polynesians are friendly, so smiles greeted us everywhere we went. But if I had to choose one face that represented the warmth and friendliness extended to us, it would be Moana’s, one of our therapists at the hotel’s famed 43,000-square-foot Deep Ocean Spa.

Snap judgments.

Any anthropologist will tell you that we humans are hardwired to make quick decisions, usually based on a fast look or first impression.

It’s a survival trait honed over generations of learned experience as predators, and as prey.

And we still use those ancient instincts to make snap judgments every day.

About people we meet. About places and situations we’re going into. And, if you’ll bear with me, about the cars we might or might not be driving someday.

So, you’ve probably already made a decision, like many people I came across with this car, and based simply on a quick glimpse of the photo, as to whether the 2013 Range Rover Evoque Coupe is stupendous, or just plain stupid.

This is also where personal bias comes in.

And nothing polarizes opinion more than a fashion risk that attempts to

combine seemingly opposing elements, like say, the sleek two-door style of a sports car and the utility and muscular machismo of an offroad warrior.

On the whole, however, judgment rendered on the Evoque has been positive.

Land Rover first explored the idea of the smallest Range Rover ever with an LRX concept in 2008 and it received acclaim and overwhelming demand to build it “just the way it is.”

To Land Rover’s credit, they did just that, carrying over the concept look—the big wheels and sleek, wedge-shaped unibody design along with a next generation adaptation of styling cues that harnessed Range Rover tradition in a whole new way.

Those cues made the Range Rover Evoque an instant hit for Tata’s Jaguar Land Rover group, winning more than 160 international awards and racking up 88,000 sales in

▼ TEST DRIVE

Production plant going 24/7 to meet demand Evoque from B1 its first year, with production at the Halewood plant still running 24/7 to meet demand from 160 global markets.

And, although a slightly more practical five-door model may be the mainstay of this lineup, those styling elements are strongest in the twodoor coupe version, as tested here.

The Evoque Coupe stands on a choice of big 18- to 20-inch wheels that are pushed to the corners, anchoring a broad-shouldered body that features a rising beltline and a “float-

ing” roof that tapers back with diminishing glass and a fastback slope to the rear.

With its near Mad Max styling, the Evoque Coupe brings to mind the early days of post-911 paranoia when designers started talking about the “gun-slit ratios” of metal versus glass and creating weird armoured car-inspired concepts like the Ford SYNus. Judging from the Evoque Coupe’s exterior styling and teeny tiny rear windows, you’d expect a cramped and claustrophobic cabin inside.

But there’s plenty of

room up front, comfortable seating and even a surprising amount of headroom in back, with the light admitted by the smallish second row windows getting a big assist from the huge, panoramic fixed glass roof on this tester.

Accessing the back seat is always harder in a two-door but flop handles and power seat buttons mounted high at the shoulder make it as easy as it can be and five-passenger family trips were successfully made with some compromise and a good deal of hilarity.

I’d opt for a lighter in-

THE 2013 Range Rover Evoque Coupe, here in Dynamic trim, takes a fresh approach

to Land Rover and Range Rover styling cues and it includes fog lights and adaptive/auto-dimming Xenon headlamps with washers.

THE EVOQUE COUPE seats five passengers with a surprising amount of headroom in spite of the tapered roofline.

Smallish second row windows get an assist from a large available fixed glass roof. terior. The dark leather of my test vehicle made the interior feel almost dowdy compared to the exterior excitement.

But all the bells and whistles are there.

The Evoque Coupe comes in two trim levels—Pure ($48,095) and Dynamic ($61,595). A standard equipment includes an eight-inch touch screen with short cuts to home screen, audio/video, navigation and phone systems, an Oxford leather tilt/tele steering wheel with info, audio, cruise and connectivity controls, and a 380-watt 11-speaker Meridian audio system.

A standard Climate Comfort Package counters Canadian winters with heated windshield and washers, heated front seats and a heated steering wheel. Which

is one of those seemingly unnecessary luxuries that is oh, so easy to get used to.

Some funky touches include colour-adjustable ambient lighting under the door pulls and illuminating a small, almost hidden storage niche under the floating console panel.

And puddle lamps on the heated exterior mirrors project drawn images of the Evoque onto the ground.

There are a variety of option packages between the two trim levels, best explored online. Most of these are encompassed by a move up to the Dynamic trim level but there are still plenty of accessory choices to further personalize a purchase.

Let’s get to some hardware. Under the trademark Range Rover clam-

shell hood, a 2.0-litre turbocharged inline-four, shared with the Land Rover LR2 and adapted from the Ford Ecotec engine that powers the Edge and Explorer. It makes 240 hp at 5500 rpm with 250 lb/ft of torque peaking early at 1750 rpm.

The engine pulls lustily enough. The Evoque Coupe boasts a 0-100 km/h time of 7.6 seconds.

Fuel economy is rated at 10.6/7.1L/100km (city/ hwy), which is a nice fantasy. My real world results, based on a variety of driving conditions and passenger loads, worked out to 13.2L/100km, on a tank refilled with the premium fuel demanded by the turbo engine.

That’s still better than the thirsty V8s in the rest of the Range Rover lineup. Your mileage may

vary and, what the heck, considering it’s near $50K starting price, I assume that even entry-level Evoque customers have deep enough pockets not to penny-pinch on fuel costs.

Engine power is translated through a six-speed automatic and full-time all-wheel drive system with four selectable Terrain Response settings— General, Grass/Gravel/ Snow, Sand, and Mud & Ruts. Each setting uses its own particular set of parameters to enable the best engine and traction response to on-road or offroad conditions.

A fifth, optional Dynamic setting adapts a MagnaRide suspension for superior on-road control.

But I think you get the picture.

The Range Rover Evoque Coupe, still fresh from its recent debut, carries over this year with a wealth of equipment and a few new additions for 2013—a new, optional hands-free parking assist and a new Land Rover Off-Road navigation program to help explore previously unmapped terrain.

It’s a pretty complete package that offers

a youthful design, unique styling, along with the usual luxuries, cachet and prestige of the Range Rover brand.

shOwCAsE ▼ TUNING OUT

Realty firm returns to an old school sales concept Vantage West Realty in Kelowna is going dark for the month of June, turning off all technology during the busiest month for home sales.

Opting for in-person service, the “Vantage Goes Vintage” changeover is having the young realtors pledge dollars to the Kelowna Gospel Mission if caught texting, tweeting or emailing.

Vantage West is also donating $300 to Kelowna Gospel Mission for every home sale in the month of June.

A few weeks ago, Vantage West’s founder A. J. Hazzi hand delivered an offer sheet to a gentlemen in his 50s instead of faxing or emailing it.

He was shocked at the impact of doing it personally and not relying on the expediency of technology.

“He couldn’t get over how nice it was that I took the time to deliver it personally and that when the

idea to go dark for June hit me,” recalled Hazzi.

Last June, the Central Okanagan saw 391 residential properties sold at a value of $154.3 million.

The June 2012 sales

by Vantage West topped out at $5 million.

With the medium price of a Kelowna home at $393,000 and June listings averaging around 850, any agency knows the time for sales is now.

“Are we taking a risk here?” asked Hazzi.

“Sure we are. June is the largest month in real estate, we have a young, tech-savvy team at Vantage West and we’re seeing growing trends of web searching with homebuyers.

“But we’re betting that personal service will win over; that when homebuyers are ready to talk to an agent, they want to do that in person.

“You’re making one of the most important de-

cisions in your life— where your home is.”

Real estate-related searches on Google.com rose 253 per cent over the past four years, according to internal Google data.

Nine out of 10 house hunters searched online during the homebuying process with 52 per cent choosing that as their first step in the process.

The Google Digital House Hunt Report saw more than 60 per cent of buyers search online for their new home for more than two month before ever picking up the phone.

Hazzi is hoping his timing is right and a pool of potential buyers is now ready to give him a call.

While the realtors will keep their phones, they have swapped out their sleek smartphones for vintage cells with no texting capacity.

Web and social media sites will remain dark for the month, with an excep-

Part of Generation Y, the young realtors at Vantage West are part of the “always-connected” generation.

They have also been using computers, mobile phones, the Internet, social media tools and other technologies since childhood.

In the recent Cisco

Connected World Technology Report, 90 per cent of Gen Y surveyed worldwide said they check their smartphones for updates in email, texts and social media sites, often before they get out of bed.

Globally, one in five checks for updates at least every 10 minutes.

“Honestly, I do feel a little anxious; I’m never without my smartphone,”

said Nick Hazzi, who at age 24 is the youngest agent.

“This challenge forces us to focus on the personal relationship and that’s the foundation of real estate selling.

“It’s also an opportunity to giveback to our community and remind everyone that many don’t even have the basics in life—much less a smart-

phone.”

Besides their own donations and penalty fees, Vantage West also encourages the public to donate in support of their campaign.

The Kelowna Gospel Mission is celebrating their 35th anniversary in transforming lives, offering food, shelter and support for those most in need.

Some facts about how mortgage holders deal with debt There are many interesting facts about the current debt level that Canadians face.

Consider the following: • For mortgages repaid during the past two decades, actual repayment has been two-thirds of the contracted period.

• Eight per cent of homeowners took out

equity on their home last year. The average equity takeout was $48,000, with the primary purpose being for renovations/home repairs; • 83 per cent of homeowners in Canada have at least 25 per cent equity in their home.

• Overall, 69 per cent of mortgage holders have fixed rate mortgages. For

those taken out in the last 12 months, the figure rises to 85 per cent.

• The average mortgage rate is 3.52 per cent per cent. For those renewed in the past 12 months the average rate is 3.15 per cent.

• For the past 12 months the actual average rate for a five-year fixedrate mortgage has been

2.20 per cent below the posted rate; • 60 per cent of Canadians have two or more credit cards, including 30 per cent who have three or more. The average outstanding balance is $3,500.

• Mortgage credit growth is slowing dramatically. For 2014, it is forecast to be 2.5 to three per

cent, or roughly half the current rate.

• Mortgage brokers continue to account for 25 per cent of all mortgages.

For new mortgages in the last 12 months, that total rises to 31 per cent.

• 18 per cent of mortgage holders, about 1.1 million people, voluntarily increased their mortgage payments, while a

further 16 per cent, about 975,000 people, made a lump sum payment during the last year.

While we can’t forecast future interest rate increases, we do know that rates will eventually start climbing. It’s dependent on inflation, a more buoyant world economy and various other statistics. But for now, interest

rates continue to sit at record lows.
