Radio ads encouraging Okanagan apple growers to truck their fruit across the international border may have appealed to some orchardists, but the local packinghouse is confident changes being made there will bring them back next year.

Grower contracts with the B.C. Tree Fruit Co-operative, formerly the Okanagan Tree Fruit co-operative, have to be signed at the beginning of the calendar year, and it was then it became obvious that some key growers had decided not to return.

Co-op updating remaining facilities from A1 However, the board is confident growers who have left the local co-op will be back when they see the new efficiencies and the progress that’s been made on the sale of the co-op’s surplus properties.

With sale of the downtown Kelowna packinghouse this spring, ultimately there won’t be any facilities in this city except controlled atmosphere storage, says CEO Alan Tyabji, as the co-op downsizes to better match the volume of fruit now being produced in the valley.

Better efficiency is essential to growers’ bottom line, and updated facilities are one way to move toward lower operating costs.

Instead of the $40 million future upgrading discussed two years ago, Tyabji says he has achieved the same with less than $10 million, by renovating instead of building from scratch.

He was hired last fall immediately following the co-op annual general meeting, where two new board members replaced long-time board members, a pattern over the past few years that saw many of the long-time coop directors replaced with new ones.

One of those new board members elected recently was Kelowna grower Colin Pritchard, who is currently vice-president of the BCTFC board, and who was very critical of the way the old board acted—prior to his election.

He says Tyabji has made tremendous changes and that his hiring has resulted in a good attitude amongst staff and reduced overhead costs for

co-op more efficient and the fruit more marketable because of the soft-touch technology being employed, he noted.

Although the co-op has lost some growers, he said the membership is ‘always in flux,’ but he says, “Some who have left have seen what we’re doing and I expect they’ll be back when their contracts elsewhere are up,” he commented.

“U.S. co-ops really only want our Ambrosias,” he added.

Ambrosias are a Canadian apple, discovered

the co-op.

Modernization efforts currently underway will result in the Winfield facility becoming one of the most modern and upto-date packing plants in Canada—maybe even North America.

Such state-of-the-art equipment will make the

in Cawston and grown under licence to the Okanagan Plant Improvement Company, which is owned by the B.C. Fruit Growers’ Association of B.C. Executive-director of PICO, John Kingsmill explains that there are only two companies who are exclusive licensees, with the sole right to propagate Ambrosias in Washington State, and they are restricted to the amount of acreage that can be planted there.

“The variety is doing very well internationally,” he notes.

However, he doesn’t feel that’s the reason U.S. plants are attracting B.C. growers. Instead, he feels B.C. growers are disappointed at the returns they’ve been receiving in recent years from the coop here. It’s been strug-

gling with surplus properties on its books and old equipment in its packing facilities, he explained and labour costs here are typically higher than they are south of the border, he added.

One of those co-operatives interested in attracting B.C. growers is Gold Digger Apples in Oroville, Wash., a 75-year-old co-operative that declares on its website that it is “an aggressive company providing competitive returns to quality growers.”

It has been buying spots from local radio stations to encourage disenchanted local growers to consider shipping to them.

It packs and ships fruit from both members and non-members and markets through Chelan Fresh Marketing.

Other Washington State packinghouses are also accepting fruit from B.C. growers.

BCTFC president Rob Dawson concedes the loss of some growers to U.S. packers will have some impact on the BCTFC, a recent amalgamation of five valley grower-owned co-operatives.

But Dawson warns that those growers could face some problems such as issues shipping bins across the border.

While the amalgamation of the province’s main tree fruit co-operatives into a single co-op was touted as a move toward higher efficiency and economy, he points out there’s “no magic in amalgamations, unless you make use of it.”

He noted the benefits aren’t likely to be instant.

First, the united co-operatives have to work on selling some of their surplus properties in order to realize some of the savings of the larger scale they’re now operating on.

Another strategic plan is in the works, he said and there’s been some consolidation within the co-op.

Tyabji said ultimately, the plan is that the co-op’s packing operations will be centred in the north and the south of the valley, with the head office and marketing remaining in Kelowna, along with the Roanoke Avenue CA storage facility in the city’s north end.

A $7.5 million upgrade is underway at the co-op’s Winfield packinghouse and CA storage facility, with the support of $2.5 million in funding toward that project from the federal-provincial AgriFlex program.

It’s expected to be complete in time to han-

dle this year’s harvest and will include a $1 million up-to-date sizer, an electronics upgrade, a new bin filler using next-generation softer-handling technology and set up to handle large volumes of fruit.

New brine-chilling technology will be added to the storage facility.

In future, Tyabji envisions adding a $.5 million robotic palletizer to that facility as well.

The Kelowna plant on Clement Avenue has been sold, but no details will be released until all the conditions are off that deal this summer.

As well, there may be a buyer for the adjacent Vaughn Avenue property, where the cherry line is located, but the idea is that a portion of the property would be leased back to the co-op at first.

The apple line in Kelowna wouldn’t be needed unless there’s an increase in crop size, and Winfield could handle that fruit with its increased efficiency, he said.

The co-op’s downtown Summerland property may have been leased to a movie production company, since it’s not expected it will be needed again as a packing plant until newly-replanted trees begin to crop.

An agreement to rent most of the Penticton receiving plant has just been entered into, said Tyabji, but the lakeshore Naramata plant is still empty and there’s nothing on the radar for that property, he said.

A $2 million upgrade is underway to the cherry line in Oliver, which will make it even more modern than the fairly new line in Kelowna.

Alistair Waters ASSISTANT EDITOR

Premier Christy Clark is wasting no time giving the riding she wants to represent a higher profile.

Clark, currently running for her governing Liberals in the Westside-Kelowna byelection, was slated to meet with Alberta Premier Alison Redford in Kelowna today.

The meeting was scheduled to take place at the Delta Grand Hotel followed by a press conference.

The two women, whose relationship has been described as “frosty” in the past over Clark’s demand that five conditions be met before B.C. would support the Northern Gateway oil pipeline from the Alberta oil sands to Prince Rupert on the northern B.C. coast, are expected to try and patch things up during their meeting here.

Just before the May 14 B.C. election, the Liberal government said it was officially not supporting the pipeline because the conditions it set forth—including calls for oil-spill prevention and response plans, addressing aboriginal and treaty rights and increasing the financial compensation to B.C. because of the risks the province will take concerning potential oil spills—had not been met.

The Opposition NDP has already come out against the pipeline proposal as well.

Clark and Redford were expected to discuss the pipeline proposal, which will ultimately be approved or not by the federal government, at today’s meeting.

West Kelowna will correct several deficiencies from the first phase of Casa Loma drainage improvements as it looks to proceed with the detailed design of the pro-

In a multi-faceted motion, council directed staff to remove the proposed ditch works on Benedick Road from phase two of the Casa Loma Drainage Project, proceed with detailed design and bring a report back to council.

Staff will also report to council on the deferred drainage works with options for gauging resident support prior to phase three work proceeding on Benedick Road.

tect properties on the lower side of Benedick Road that were damaged by flooding during a major storm in August 2011, while the ditch works on Benedick are on hold.

After hearing concerns from residents on the first phase of drainage improvements regarding aesthetics, safety and efficiency—and after receiving information that portions of the phase one works didn’t perform as intended during a recent heavy rainfall—council agreed to direct staff to proceed with the correction of deficiencies and detailed design, and the costing of remedial works.

Rob Mueller, West Kelowna manager of engineering and operations, said the mandate of the project is to design and construct a drainage system that is capable of protecting the Casa Loma community from flooding in a significant storm event. With a few tweaks, the first phase is capable of doing that, he added.

First phase remedial works will likely include: • Painting a white fog line to delineate a wider shoulder to improve pedestrian safety

• Removing the existing sandbag headwalls at driveways, replacing them with poured-in-place concrete headwalls to provide a more aesthetically-pleasing and durable product • Installing perforated pipe and inlet structures along the bottom of the existing ditches, and covering the pipe

with rock rip-rap, which will decrease the depth of the existing ditches to the pre-design depth supported by the residents at the public meeting in August 2012 • Raising the culvert outlet structure at the Casa Loma Road beach access to above high lake level to avoid ponding on the beach.

Fruit growers want made-in-B.C. solution tory,” he said. “Growers need government funding to support their investments in renewing orchards.”

Winfield grower Penny Gambell, a former BCFGA president, agrees, saying the government could also be much more supportive of retail agriculture.

Customers should also be vigilant to ensure they’re purchasing local, B.C. fruit and supporting the local industry.

The orchard indus-

try got sold out when the federal government brought in a buyout program for grape growers, she claims.

And, that industry enjoys limitations on imports as well—while it’s free trade in apples.

In the 1990s, the industry farmed 20,000 acres in the valley, but today that’s down to about 7,000 acres, she figures.

And, she has no intention of taking her business to the U.S. “We benefit from the

Canadian system, with its medicare, economics and other policies, and when we take it south, we’re paying wages to non-Canadians,” Gambell said.

“We should find the solution here.”

She’s confident that the BCTFC board is working to downsize infrastructure and reduce costs so returns to grower can improve, and generally make it a successful business. jsteeves@kelownacapnews.com

And it is a similar size to the Winfield facility.

The co-op also has CA storage facilities in Keremeos and Osoyoos.

Last year, the co-op announced that it would no longer handle organic fruit, in order to make the operation more efficient.

The BCTFC is also talking to growers about reducing the fruit coming in by 15 per cent, by dropping varieties such as Reds and Goldens which

are not getting good enough returns for growers, said Tyabji.

“We want growers to take out trees that aren’t making money. We encourage them to replant,” he said.

It’s especially important that the provincial government extend the replant assistance program to help revitalize the industry, he noted.

▼ OKANAGAN COLLEGE

Celebrating the art of pastry At a time when a New York chef is capturing international attention for his croissant/donut creation—the cronut—Okanagan College’s celebrated culinary arts program is launching its first pastry arts certificate program this fall.

“There is no question the pastry shop is the most creative part of any kitchen,” said chef instructor Perry Bentley, who worked as a pastry spe-

cialist in large European hotels before coming to Okanagan College.

“I tell everyone we make everything from a dozen basic ingredients, and there is no other form of cookery that does that.”

Tradition will form the backbone of the 40-week program, with students tutored in the art of creating delicate pastries like the croissant, and slow fermenting breads, or Pain au Levain—known more

commonly as sourdough.

Layered between all of this will be a quintessential Okanagan essence that will come through the ingredients themselves.

“The feature of the program is the farm to table principle,” Bentley said. “We’ll be using local grains, and wild yeasts, and we’ll be connecting with orchardists and wherever possible bring in local products that we can use in the bake shop

—mostly fruits, but also vegetables and meats for our savoury pastries.”

Linda Baird, who just completed her culinary arts certificate at the college, has already signed up for the course, and can’t wait for September to arrive. “I’ve always loved pastry, and ultimately this is what I really wanted to study,” said Baird, who spent last summer working with the pastry chef at Mission Hill Family Estate.

Baird said she was fortunate enough to spend some time this year with Bentley learning some of the skills required to create delicate sugar work —often used to create excitement as a type of culinary centrepiece.

“Perry gave us a chance to make angel hair sugar, but it really was just

Bentley said Baird can expect to learn sugar blowing, sugar pulling and sugar casting.

Students will also learn wedding cake design, and how to create

those flakiest of treats— the Viennese pastries.

“Pastry is all about precision,” he said. “You take these 12 ingredients, and the main difference is in the formula and the technique. It’s highly specialized and takes high levels of expertise.”

skills in both electronics and autobody repair after taking a silver and bronze at the Skills Canada na-

tional competition, held June 5 to 8 in Vancouver.

Electronic engineering technology student Nathanael Bergmann came home with silver in the electronics category, while collision repair student Brandon Scott took bronze in the automotive collision repair category.

Bergmann’s success marks the third time in three years that Okanagan College has reached the national podium in the electronics competition.

During the competition, judges examined how effectively Bergmann, who now works as a technician at Kelowna Refrigeration and Appliance Services, was able to install components into

a circuit board, design and build circuitry required to complete a balancing robot, and troubleshoot a number of faults judges inserted into another system.

“It was fun, but it was challenging too,” said Bergmann. “It was a fantastic experience to find out what you can accomplish in the time they give you.”

Bergmann’s professor and coach Kevin Bradshaw said his student’s work paid off.

“It was a tough competition, and he was the only one of the three winners who was even able to complete the design portion involving the balancing robot.”

Meanwhile, Scott’s bronze medal re-establishes the college’s auto repair performance on the national stage, said collision repair department chair Jeff Francis.

“This is the first time in four years that we’ve made it to the national podium, so this was a big deal for us to carry on that tradition once more,” he said.

Scott’s success was particularly priceless for his instructor and coach Tyler Selzler, who won the gold medal himself at the Skills Canada event back in 2008 when he was an Okanagan College studen For Scott, who just landed a job with Boyd Autobody in Kelowna, the competition was something he’ll never forget.

Trying to understand extremists The topic of what motivates extremists will be up for discussion at the next Philosopher’s Café hosted by the Okanagan Jewish Community Centre, 102 Snowsell St. North in Kelowna.

The meeting takes place Monday, 7 p.m., with the guest speaker Maryam Razavy.

What better time to discuss these questions than now, with the recent Boston bombings and the arrest of two young men suspected of plotting to commit terrorist acts here in Canada.

Opinions are rampant, and often strongly held.

But what do we actually know about what leads individuals down this path?

Wasn’t it simple when we thought that it was just a question of education? But many of these extremists are well educated.

Without some understanding of the factors involved, how can we ever hope to prevent such acts from occurring?

Razavy, who holds a joint PhD in Sociology and Religious Stud-

ies from the University of Alberta, is well renowned for her teaching and scholarship on these issues.

She believes that it is critical to understand why adherents of religions that preach peace, love and harmony will commit acts of violence against people of other faiths, and even against members of their own faith. Participate in an informed and open discussion of this topic. Be prepared to examine your preconceived ideas, and leave with a better understanding of the nature of fundamentalism and extremism.

By not fielding candidates parties show some class

To the editor: Perhaps it is a measure of the ‘quality’ of our political representation. I feel forced to observe that on Google TV news Adrian Dix was interviewed on the Kelowna waterfront, not even in the (Westside-Kelowna) riding.

Christy Clark was at least in the right place as she was strolling through Quails’ Gate winery (owned by the incumbent). But she then stated that she would come to Kelowna (not West Kelowna ) as much as possible to give proper representation if elected.

I hope that someone has advised her that Kelowna and West Kelowna are not all one riding.

In general, it is customary in these (byelection) circumstances, for other parties to not field candidates so that she gets the seat by acclamation—saves considerable time and money and, most importantly, the other parties show that they actually have some class.

letter of the week

Thoughts about Canada’s Senate Clark no shoe-in for W-K riding To the editor: My dog sleeps about 20 hours a day. He has his food prepared for him. He can eat whenever he wants. His meals are provided at no cost to him.

He visits the doctor once a year for his check-up, and again during the year if any medical needs arise. Of course, for this he

pays nothing, and nothing is required of him.

He lives in a nice neighbourhood in a house that is much larger than he needs, and he is not required to contribute to the maintenance or running of the house.

If he makes a mess in it, someone else does the cleaning.

He has his choice of luxuri-

ous places to sleep. He receives these accommodations absolutely free. All his expenses are covered by others who go out every day and work hard to make a living— while he lives like a king.

And it occurs to me, I think my dog is a Canadian senator.

S. Tod, Kelowna

To the editor: Stephen Harper has appointed a total of 58 people to a Senate he insisted were going to be elected.

Traditionally a budget is a separate bill, outlining in some detail the government’s spending for the year. But Harper, in an outrageous display of contempt, packaged the budget into two bills—numbers C-38 and C-45—and rammed

them through Parliament with virtually no debate.

Those two bills included changes to more than 120 laws and regulations, and radically changed the way governments function in Canada.

Today nobody can be held accountable for anything. That includes the Premiers, our Prime Minister and our Supreme Courts.

The Queen is no longer an effective Head of State, and the time has come to sever our colonial ties.

Then we can finally write our own constitution, and become a sovereign democratic society where the people control the politicians and the courts enforce the laws instead of re-writing them.

Andy Thomsen, Summerland

Open letter to the constituents of Westside-Kelowna: As you face a byelection there are some issues that I would like to speak of prior to you casting your ballot.

First off, in the general provincial election you didn’t vote for Christy Clark but for your returning Liberal candidate, Ben Stewart, who as an incumbent obviously had your trust and support.

Yet now Mr. Stewart has stepped aside in order

to allow Christy Clark to run for a seat to be able to sit in the legislature.

While this has happened before in the history of B.C. politics I ask you to consider Christy Clark as a candidate herself and whether she deserves to represent you on her merits alone.

She is simply assuming that as major supporters of the B.C. Liberals you will in fact support

LETTERS

A Tradition of Sound Advice

▼ BYELECTION

Greens seemingly endorse Clark’s Liberals To the editor: Imagine my dismay when it was reported that Jane Sterk, leader of the BC Green Party, seemingly endorsed Christy Clark’s government, by saying “her party won’t run a candidate, because the premier deserves to be in the legislature.”

This goes against all of the principles of the Green

Party, as it is an endorsement not just for Clark, but for fracking in B.C.; for building the Site C Power Project and for a number of new pipelines.

In fact, she has chosen, by her statement, to back a government that has historically proven to be environmentally unfriendly time and time again.

For this reason, I

would ask that Sterk step down as leader, turn over the reins to someone else while trying her best to recant this disastrously mistaken endorsement.

After all, a premier is only truly a premier when elected. Clark could be forced to step down as leader of the Liberal party should she lose the upcoming byelection. We

need to insure that the Liberals do indeed answer to the people of this province, and not just the party.

Therefore, I would ask the Green Party to fully support the NDP candidate, Carole Gordon in the Westside-Kelowna riding.

As a school teacher, Gordon may be a good choice for education critic for the Opposition.

The people of the Westside-Kelowna riding should give her a chance to be the representative they need, one that is actually from your riding. A representative that knows and cares about your issues more than about just winning a seat in any old riding.

▼ WESTSIDE-KELOWNA

Clark could be a two-time riding loser To the editor: So Christy Clark has selected West Kelowna to run in a byelection.

How ironic that the woman whom her own riding of Point Grey in Vancouver ousted out of office because they felt she was not good enough, is now going to attempt to represent this riding.

It must have been a shock to her to have lost her own riding as premier.

Will West Kelowna be

represented properly, fairly, and well? I doubt it.

The fact this area has had two previous premiers does not change the fact that Clark is an also-ran now, even with her title as Premier.

Don’t expect her to do much for this area.

I’m sure that Ben Stewart must be resentful for losing his position but, of course, he won’t show it.

He’s too classy for that.

With less than six

years as an MLA in government, he is not eligible for a government pension.

As a result, I wouldn’t be surprised if Clark has offered him a very attractive financial package or some other nice reward to have him step down.

Will Clark divulge that information?

No way.

It’ll be hush hush, just like the first thing she did after this past election— give a number of her

people a nice fat raise.

And that is being prudent with our money?

Didn’t she run on a platform that included being careful how she spends our money?

Of course she has to pay off her loyal followers. It’s a case of do as I say and not as I do.

In the meantime, seniors will have to pay $25 per month to rent wheelchairs.

Fair, isn’t it? Health,

education, and social services will continue to get huge kicks in the gut while she and her associates laugh all the way to the bank with higher salary increases.

Wouldn’t it be something if she lost the byelection in West Kelowna as well?

her whether or not you feel her support as Premier is deserved is up to you.

I may also remind you that if she is defeated it does not mean that the B.C. Liberals will not remain the government for the next four years. They are the government and will be so until the next writ is dropped.

Thus, if you do decide that as an individual you feel that she doesn’t deserve your support as a candidate you will not be impacting the B.C. Liberals as your government.

However, you will be sending a strong message o o

k

to all political parties that as voters you feel a strong conviction that your representative should know the local issues that you face, that parachuting candidates doesn’t serve the best interests of democracy and that Mr. Stewart was your choice. As citizens to deny you that choice speaks broadly about the issue of accountability in our political system today.

Accountability during elections, accountability on running on what a candidate brings to the table.

Perhaps this is why voter apathy, cynicism and turnouts are so low.

People almost expect to be lied to and for that

it cries in the face of what democracy is about.

As a last note I must state that the first priority of Clark was to give raises to her staff, something that was never discussed during the election.

If families are first and jobs are key alongside fiscal prudence then one must question the optics of handing out large raises right after the election.

Speaking on the issue of families first that Clark was so hard to impart as being first and foremost on her priorities, was her cancelling four government committees on the naming of her new cabinet.

The committees gone

Incentive behind Ben’s decision?

To the editor: In your Tuesday, June -11, edition, a letter to the -editor by Rosalie Chalnmers states that: “The people of British Colum-bia clearly chose Christy -Clark and the Liberals to lead us…” t I say Rosalie is wrong about the people choosing Clark—her own riding decided to vote against

her. That is why she was shopping around for a winner to give up his/her newly won seat.

I would not be surprised if Clark lost the (byelection) vote this go around either. Personally I think the people voted for (incumbent Westside-Kelowna MLA Ben Stewart), not for the Liberal party. A fair number of

people have voiced this opinion.

Lastly, why would someone who won so decisively give up their seat?

Could there have been a bit of an incentive dangled in front? We will have to wait to find out, but I hope she gets blown out of the water in the byelection.

Blaine Ans, Kelowna

are as follows: Families First, Jobs and Skills Training, Open Government and Engagement and Family Affordability.

I think that as citizens who are working hard to make ends meet, who are striving to ensure that your children have a future this speaks loudly about a party’s true agenda when speaking so loudly and passionately on prior and during an election yet quietly dismantling and ignoring afterwards.

I think that the spotlight is on the residents of Westside-Kelowna and it’s up to you to send a message to the B.C. Lib-

250.862.2663

erals, a message that, while they have achieved power for the next four years, they better curb their arrogance shown by Christy Clark only weeks after the election dust has settled.

I’m not advocating you support a particular party, but what I am asking you to do is, at the very least, show that as citizens in your riding you will not be mocked by politics.

Ultimately it’s your choice but please remember these issues when you do.

different ways.

There’s not much in the way of grasslands in the Central Okanagan.

It’s mostly forest or waterfront where there are no buildings covering the natural environment.

But there’s one pocket grassland on the Westside that’s actually visible from right in Kelowna, miles and miles away.

It’s called Bald Range and it’s a hill surrounded by forest just off Bear Main Forest Road.

Last Saturday, the sow bear and two cubs who normally call that home stayed well away from all the human activity on that steep bit of hill.

People scurried like ants from one side to the other and up and down it, toting chunks of dead pine to create check dams in the channel that had been carved through the middle of that grassy area from trails that had eroded soil and washed it down the hill.

The volunteers who gathered came out from the Peachland Sportsmen’s Association, Central Okanagan Naturalists’ Club, Kelowna Fish and Game Club, Oceola Fish and Game Club and the Okanagan Trail Riders’ Association— an unlikely combination of people who normally would enjoy that area in

very different ways.

They all wanted to heal that scar so grass would grow once again there and runoff would be diffused in its flow, throughout the slope rather than gathering in the one little gully to further wash away soil and plants.

Restoring it to its natural state provides good feed for deer and moose in the winter and early spring when the snow is deep in less exposed parts of their range, as well as encouraging different bird species, particularly raptors such as owls, to nest in the nearby forest, confident they can feed on the small mammals that populate such grassy meadows.

Preventing erosion there helps to improve water quality downstream as well as protecting the grassland itself.

Erotic art show hosted at Sparkling Hills

Jennifer Smith

STAFF REPORTER

A sparkling aura glows from the gold-leafed dancer in Roxi Sim-Hermsen’s photographs, an image so apropos for the newly minted Erotic Art Show its almost indescribable.

Now in its sixth year, the Erotic Art Show is making a bold move to Sparkling Hills Resort.

Owned by Gernot Langes Swarovski, patriarch of the Swarovski crystal dynasty, the Austrian-inspired hideaway is a glitzy stunner of a venue, perched over Okanagan Lake, with a view so spectacular it would take any other show a considerable amount of effort to turn a visitor’s gaze.

There’s no denying the Erotic Art Show has never had a problem turning heads, however, and organizer Julia Trops has done an admirable job of building it from a small collection of sketches and paintings to the pièce de résistance of Okanagan art events it is today.

“Last year at the opening I was approached by Hans-Peter Mayr, the CEO of Sparkling Hill, and he said he was interested in holding the show at Sparkling Hill,” said Trops. “It was actually good timing because Jeff and Decoa (Harder, of Ex Nihilo Vineyards) had just told me they couldn’t hold the event anymore as they were moving into more weddings. So I thought, well, that’s perfect; it’s been three years and it’s time for a change. I really believe everything happens for a reason.”

Change is definitely on the menu for this show.

For the first time, the event will go beyond the visual arts scope to include performances from guitar player Alan Rinehart; seductive dancing by Vernon City Dance; a comedic soliloquy by Theatre 86’s Jessika LaFramboise; and a show from Kelowna’s innovative multidisciplinary trio Musartiqa, composed of visual artist Angela Bonten, Ballet Kelowna alumni Angel Jutzi and

Sim-Hermsen’s collaboration with French dancer Amanda Lynn Wooden-Papilhau are among the visual pieces at the Erotic Art Show. musician Tony Koenen.

“I am excited. I feel like when you are up against a great challenge and you want to make sure you exceed the bar,” said Trops.

Bolstered by this new partnership, but championed by Rotary Arts Centre executive director Tracy Ward to whom this year’s efforts are dedicated, the show has always found a way to exceed expectations, revelling in the kind of art of the body often deemed too controversial in the Okanagan.

While the Livessence art group, which focuses on drawing nude and minimally clad models, has had its work criticized, and even shunned from time to time, and a smattering of artists who work with the naked body have faced a backlash, the show has become a pillar of the Okanagan arts community.

Artist like Sim-Hermsen often return, show after show, describing the event as a fun, re-

laxed affair.

“The artists are all really supportive of one another and it’s just a celebration,” said SimHermsen.

Once a high school art teacher, her students have gone on to work as cinematographers and artists all over the world, and Sim-Hermsen loves to collaborate with them, and almost everyone else in the arts community, whenever possible.

From community mural projects, to providing videos for local bands and advertising clips for the Okanagan Science Centre her family helped create, the breadth of her creative prowess is astounding.

Thus, when French dancer Amanda Lynn Wooden-Papilhau, originally from Enderby, approached her with a request to photograph her dancing naked around her mother’s fire pit, she was all ears.

“We went with a moth to the

flame theme and I spent a full day doing her body paint and applying the gold leaf ,” said SimHermsen.

As dusk rolled in, they moved out to the fire and Wooden-Papilhau began to dance, improvising a selection of moves that have proved the perfect fit for the looped video project SimHermsen added to her still photographs to give a more complete package at this show.

Ordinarily more of a painter, Sim-Hermsen has a stack of children’s books to her name and is gearing up for a large show of her own, having spent seven years researching and creating her own set of tarot cards.

She is also recovering from illness—she spent 20 years suffering from lyme disease, an ailment many in the health community would not recognize until very recently—and uses her art and dance as therapy.

“I paint what I want to see reflected back to me,” she said.

“My paintings are colourful and full of life.”

She comes by this cheerful attitude quite honestly. She was a cheerleader for the B.C. Lions football team in high school and has always preferred to champion others’ work and partner with talented souls, rather than focus on herself.

For a taste of that colourful spirit, one can check out her work at roxiartwork.com.

The Erotic Art Show runs July 5 to Aug. 2 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily at Sparkling Hill Resort, 888 Sparkling Way, Vernon, with the opening night party July 5.

Dress is masquerade style with costumes encouraged.

Funds raised will go to the Central Okanagan Hospice Association in honour of Ward, who passed away last year. Tickets are $31.20 and can be obtained online at okanaganeroticartshow. com/2013/05/opening-nighttickets/. jaswrites@kelownacapnews.com Twitter: @jaswrites

▼ CD REVIEWS

Connick steps beyond his beloved N’Orleans HARRY CONNICK JR.: EVERY MAN SHOULD KNOW (COLUMBIA) The prolific Harry Connick Jr. has more or less placed aside his usual jazz leanings for an album of all-original singer/ songwriter tunes.

Of course Connick’s love of New Orleans music is never far away as can be heard on the light funk of Friend Going Home with its funereal street choir.

Meanwhile, Branford Marsalis blows his sax on the saloon crooner Let Me Stay, while Wynton Marsalis plays his trumpet on the breezy lite jazz of Being Alone.

But on songs such as Come See About Me and S’ppossed To Be (a duet with Kim Burrell) Connick comes off sounding more like a mellowed out James Taylor.

SOUNDING OFF

Bruce Mitchell And Connick even dips his toe in some country music with Greatest Love Story that features fiddle, pedal steel, mandolin and zydeco accordion while he also offers up a warm and credible samba shuffle with I Love Her. Some have complained that Connick sounds a little too sappy on Every Man Should Know re: “to treasure her love until yer dying day” but I’ll bet old fans will be happy nonetheless.

years collaborating with up and coming acts like Parallel Dance Ensemble, Boom Clap Bachelors and Canada’s own Rhye (Mike Milosh).

More importantly, Quadron have seen their profile greatly increase in North America by their contributions to the blockbuster film soundtracks The Great Gatsby and Think Like A Man and it is widely expected that this sophomore album, titled Avalanche, will put Quadron in the limelight.

This is a lovely collection of avant smooth R&B with judicious use of synth, keys and horns.

There is no dud on this 10-track CD highlighted by the electro-dance track Hey Love that is very radio-friendly, while Crush is sensuous and quietly hooky.

My fave track is Sea Salt that is redolent of the Pet Shop Boys/Dusty Springfield hit Nothing Has Been Proved, from the superb Scandal soundtrack of 24 years ago.

There is a cool and quiet sophistication to these heady pop/R&B concoctions that seems

nearly effortless with its understated synth accents.

An act to watch.

B

BEADY EYE: BE (SONY)

This is the highly anticipated second album from Beady Eye— basically the Liam Gallagher-led Oasis without truculent brother (and Oasis’ main songwriter) Noel G. Song credits here are shared by all members and they have come up with a very strong set of songs that rivals any of Oasis’ latter day albums.

Beady Eye are also open to a lot of new ideas on BE. They experiment with some retro Mad-

chester (sic) dance rock of Shine A Light that heavily borrows a Bo Diddley beat, while Iz Rite is a pure pop giddy love song.

The lads break into a litle Mersey jangle rock on I’m Just Saying using Dylan phrasing while the extended outro to Don’t Bother Me dabbles in some trance electronica.

My pick is Second Bite Of The Apple that unapologetically borrows from The Zombies’ nugget Time Of The Season.

Fans should note the Deluxe Edition with four demo sounding songs and a wide angle album cover model that extends right down to her areola.

Blue a magical floral colour to match up in your garden H ow blue can it get? In the garden it can get quite blue if you want it to.

In fact, you can have something blue in the garden from early spring when the Glory of the Snow bursts out to late summer when the Blue Mist Shrub struts its stuff.

FROM THE GROUND UP

Don Burnett I was thinking about

this the other day while enjoying my coffee and looking at the latest blossoms to emerge from my garden plants.

My Lithodora has been blooming since early spring and it’s as blue as it gets.

Even though the blossoms of this low lying

perennial are small there are enough of them to make a real show.

There are several shades of blue found in Okanagan gardens, from powder blue to navy blue and everything in between, all of which stand out when combined with other colours.

I’ve seen Blue Moon Lobelia planted with Dusty Miller and yellow Marigolds as a great annual border.

Blue German Iris alongside just about any other coloured Iris is strikingly beautiful.

When the Blue Bird Hibiscus shrub is in bloom just down the street from us the whole yard lights up.

When I was on the garden tour a few years ago I was just about blown over when I walked around a corner and a Blue Himalayan Poppy jumped out at me.

vert to water-wise gardens.

The more local examples there are, the easier it will be for others to find out how to create a more sustainable/lower maintenance landscape.

The contest includes four categories. Three are for residential gardens— best non-professionally created small garden, best non-professionally created large garden, and best professionally designed and installed residential landscape.

The small garden could be as small as 200 square feet. The large garden might be a whole front or back yard or a whole property.

The fourth category is for the best professionally designed and installed commercial or institutional landscape.

For professionally designed landscapes, the prize goes to the garden

owner, with recognition in news articles and on the OXA website, of the professionals involved.

The best garden in each category will receive an engraved, custom designed metal garden sculpture from B-line Design and a $100 gift certificate from one of four participating nurseries: Wild Bloom, Sagebrush, ILR and Bylands.

August 31 is the deadline to enter. Everyone who enters is eligible for draw prizes of gift certificates from Bartlett Tree Services and Green and Bear It Gardening Gifts and Gear ($200 total value).

Entries received by Aug. 1 are eligible for an early bird draw prize of two cubic metres of organic mulch delivered to your garden (value $100), donated by Dean Dack of Classic Compost (www. classiccompost.com).

A team of Blanleils playing for Andre Sr. Kevin Parnell STAFF REPORTER

If you stroll down to King Stadium near downtown Kelowna this weekend, chances are you may bump into a Blanleil or two.

Or a whole fastball team of them, for that matter.

The Kelowna Major Men’s Fastball Association is hosting its second annual Andre Blanleil Sr. Memorial Fastball Tournament this Father’s Day weekend, honouring a man that first started playing fastball in the 1960s and raised a family of athletes who have carried on his legacy over the years.

Andre Jr., and brothers Maurice and Rene will be cornerstones of the Andres Athletics, playing alongside the youngest generation of Blanleils in Andre’s kids—Kyle, Chad and Travis.

“It’s fun to be involved with an event like this when its your family’s name associated with it,” said Kyle Blanleil, who at 27 is the oldest of Andre Junior’s three kids. “It’s fitting it falls on Father’s Day weekend. There will be a lot of family around having a good time at the park. It’s good to see a lot

of alumni with the major men’s fastball league, guys that played with my Grampa in the ’60s and guys that played with my dad over the years.”

The Andre’s Athletics are one of six teams taking part in the event this weekend. Four teams from Kelowna will hit the field in the modified double-knockout format, which begins on Friday, goes all day Saturday and wraps up Sunday at 1 p.m. with the final.

Kyle says the best part of the weekend is the focus on family and he noted it will be extra special to see his grandmother Eileen at the park in her familiar spot behind home plate where she can get an extra word in with the umpires if needed.

“She comes to every single game and she was actually the first person in the family to play fastball,” said Kyle. “She’ll have her spot right at the gate, yelling at the umpires. All my uncles and aunts and cousins will be there.”

Andre Sr. both played with and coached his kids and also coached many of his grandchildren along the way. He not only passed his love of the game onto the young-

IT’S GOOD TO SEE A LOT OF ALUMNI WITH THE MAJOR MEN’S FASTBALL LEAGUE, GUYS THAT PLAYED WITH MY GRAMPA…

KEVIN PARNELL/CAPITAL NEWS

KELOWNA’S Kyle Blanleil has helped organize and

will play in a tournament named for his grandfather: The Andre Blanleil Sr. Memorial Fastball Tournament. er generations but also a competitive spirit.

“When we were growing up my Grampa was probably the fiercest competitor out of everyone,” said Kyle. “I didn’t see him play but coaching he was a very intense guy.

There was a joke that you never wanted to make an error when he was on the pitching mound because he would not be happy.”

Fastball is that rare sport where age doesn’t really hamper ability.

Many fastball pitchers

are amongst the oldest on their team and can still throw hard as the windmill (under-hand) style is less stressful on the pitching arm.

However with no youth fastball leagues, young players and pitchers are a commodity, meaning the sport features plenty of veterans without a lot of young players coming up through the ranks.

Brothers Andre, Maurice and Rene exemplify that and have won many

different titles over the years, including Western Canadian masters championships.

“It’s really cool to see they are the older group of players but they are still the top players in the league,” said Kyle of his dad and uncles. “You just see how much time and effort they have put in over the years. It’s really fun having the whole Blanleil clan out there.

We are all super competitive. It’s always an intense game. Us young guys are just trying to keep up with the old guys.”

You can check out some excellent fastball this weekend at King’s Stadium at the Andre Blanleil Sr. Memorial Fastball Tournament. A day pass is $5 and a tournament pass is $10 and there is a concession and refreshments available. kparnell@kelownacapnews.com

Game-changers make Blanleil ‘play smart’ Kyle Blanleil isn’t the same athlete he once was.

A fierce competitor in fastball and hockey, Kyle’s athletic career was put on hold eight years ago, when at the age of just 19, he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumour in his back.

He was a goalie playing junior hockey with the Campbell River Storm when he first noticed severe pain in his back that wasn’t going away. An MRI would identify a cancerours tumour wrapped around four vertabrae in Kyle’s back, forcing him to retire from junior hockey to focus on his health.

Now 27, Kyle works at Andre’s Electronics, still plays fastball (see story above) and is cancer free. “I just passed my seventh year cancer free,” said Kyle this week as he helped

organize a fastball tournament in his grandfather’s name. “Mobility and strength are the two areas that have been most affected. At times it’s frustrating because I’m not as good as I once was. As competitive as I am, that’s frustrating. But it’s great to be out there.”

After the diagnosis, doctors would operate on Blanleil in Vancouver, removing the tumour, and the four vertabrae in a 23-hour surgery. Bone from one of his legs and titanium rods were used to replace the vertabrae and get Kyle back on his feet.

Two years of hard rehab as well as more treatment to make sure the cancer stayed away and Kyle was on the road to recovery.

So much so that he eventually returned to the fastball diamond. And the competitive juices that flowed through him never went away.

In 2009, playing at the senior C fastball provincials, Kyle made a diving attempt for a ball. The dive would break the bone that doctors had used to replace his vertabrae, leaving him temporarily paralyzed on the ball field after the bone came in contact with his spinal chord, but didn’t sever it.

It would lead to another 18-hour surgery to replace the bone. Kyle remembers laying on the field, unable to move, and says the moment made him realize he had to change the way he played.

“I have to play smart,” he said. “I can still play hard but I have to play smart. It’s tough for me because I’ve always been a person who plays hard and works hard. But what sports taught me about working hard, has definitely helped me get through this.”

Silver medal in Texas for OGC duo

Two Okanagan Gymnastics Centre athletes recently returned from the Lone Star State with some shiny hardware in their possession.

Maddi Arnold, 16, and Shaylyn To, 11, joined forces to capture a silver medal in acrobatic gymnastics earlier this month at the Texas State Championships in Boerne, Texas, just outside San Antonio.

Coached by Shawna Peters of OGC, the girls placed second in the Level 8 women’s pairs event with a combined score of 48.499 points.

Arnold and To were in the lead after their balance routine on the first day, but ended up in second place A after a slip during their dynamic routine on the

second day.

“They were winning and were very strong on the second day, too, but just had a little slip up near the end,” said Peters.

“If not, they would have taken gold. It was heartbreaking, but they came out of it very strong. We’re really happy with how they performed.”

Each routine is two minutes, with athletes being judged on their artistry, synchronicity, elegance, and required skills.

The balance routine has skills that are lifts and holds where the pair must show their control throughout the skills which are held for a number of seconds to show their strength and balance.

The dynamic routine has more explosive tosses,

At theT mid-way mark of the first half an Abbotsford player was sent off the pitch as he was given a red card for stepping on the opponent’s head. The score remained 1-1 at half time.

Six minutes into the second half Abbotsford scored their second goal of the game as their striker broke through TOFC’s back line for a 2-1 lead.

Then at the 61 minute mark TOFC struck again as Shanks sent the ball to Tyler Shalansky (Kelowna) who went on a run down the wing before being pulled down in the box. Cole Kingzett scored on the ensuing penalty kick to tie the game 2-2.

TOFC went up 3-2 when Ayo Fashanu (Kelowna) served a perfect corner kick into the box for Ben McDonald to head the ball in.

George Smalldridge (West Kelowna) made a great individual run and shot an amazing ball to beat the Abbotsford keeper for a 4-2 lead.

The visitors made it interesting with eight minutes to go in the game.

An indirect free kick was given to Abbotsford at the top of the box as a TOFC player passed the ball back to his keeper. Abbotsford mistakenly took a direct kick which was stopped at the goal line by the hand of a TOFC player. Abbotsford scored on the penalty kick which was awarded for the hand ball. But in the end, TOFC kept their lead and won the game 4-3.

Both teams are staples in the Canada West playoffs and generally find themselves finishing in one of the top spots in the Prairie Division, but do not count out the rapidly-improving young Heat squads who always bring their athleticism and energy for the home fans. This will be the first time either Saskatchewan or Alberta will play at UBC’s Okanagan campus.

The Vikes will visit the Heat for a back-to-back weekend in mid November but this season Heat

The UBC Okanagan Heat basketball programs are no longer bearing the newbie pass as they embark on their third season in the CIS’s Canada West division.

With veterans who now boast valuable CISlevel experience and young recruits with talent and an eagerness to learn, the Heat men’s and women’s basketball squads are ready to take on this year’s Canada West schedule with thoughts of playing late into the February playoffs.

The Heat have released its basketball schedule for the upcoming season.

As always, the Pacific division, within which the Heat play, will be a dogfight to see the playoffs as it boasts traditional powerhouses like the UBC Thunderbirds, Victoria Vikes, the Fraser Valley Cascades and the Trinity Western Spartans.

Stars lined up for Axel Merckx Granfondo With the failure of the Granfondo Canada event in Kelowna, there is now less than a month to go until the Okanagan’s only granfondo biking event takes place.

The third annual Valley First Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan will be taking place in Penticton on July 7 this year and organizers have added a special guest to join former cycling champion Axel Merckx.

Three-time Hawaii Ironman world champion Peter Reid returns to Penticton—the place

where he has won two Ironman Canada races— to ride with Merckx and friends through the beautiful South Okanagan.

Reid is a member of Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame and one of the best longcourse male triathletes ever.

Reid joins a long list of Olympic medalists, athletes and personalities who will ride the 2013 Axel Merckx Granfondo.

AMONG THE RIDERS:

• Merckx: A former pro cyclist and Belgian road cycling champion who won a bronze medal at the 2004 Summer

25

Olympics in Athens.

• Simon Whitfield: A former Canadian triathlete who won a gold medal (triathlon) at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, as well as silver medal at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

• Alison Sydor: A former Canadian mountain and road bike pro who is a three-time world champion (mountain bike) and a silver medalist at the 1996 Summer Olympic in Atlanta. Sydor was recently inducted into Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame.

• Andrew Byrnes: A current Canadian Olympic rower who won a gold

medal (men’s eights rowing) at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing and a silver medal at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

• Evan Guthrie: An Okanagan pro mountain biker who now rides with the Norco professional team.

• Four professional cyclists from the Bontrager Cycling Team.

Other riders also rumoured to be riding this year include former professional cyclist Alex Steida (first North American to wear the ‘yellow jersey’ at the Tour de France), and Silken Laumann

▼ ALS

Walking and golfing to find cure for disease The public is invited to turn out Saturday for the People Drug Mart Walk for ALS fundraiser.

The walk starts at 10 a.m. from the Rhapsody Plaza in Waterfront Park.

This family event is intended to help raise money toward finding a cure for ALS (Amyotrphic Lateral Sclerosis), sometimes referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease.

ALS is a devastating terminal

disease that destroys involuntary muscles of the body, but rarely affects the senses.

It can strike anyone at anytime.

Also doing their part to help those suffering from ALS and to further fund research to find a cure for the disease are local golf professionals.

During the month of June, the golf pros will play from sunrise

to sunset to support those living with ALS. On June 18, Jason Jurimae , Jon Kadin and Brice MacDermott will golf as many holes as possible to raise awareness and funds for the ALS Society of B.C. at Gallagher’s Canyon Golf & Country Club.

On June 21, Jamie Stevens will also be lending his muscles to the cause at Kelowna Golf &

Country Club.

And so will Taylor Fahey, Tyrel Griffith and Russ Latimer of Black Mountain Golf Club on June 24.

These courses are three of 40 golf courses located across B.C participating in the PGA of B.C. Golfathon for ALS and of 43 courses participating in the event nationally.

Seminar deals with stroke recovery process Every year in B.C., 6,500 people suffer a stroke.

It is devastating for them and their families and caregivers as well.

Life changes dramatically in an instant. But there’s hope—survivors can reclaim their lives with the help of medical specialists, family, friends and local support networks such as the Stroke Recovery Association of

B.C., www.strokerecoverybc.ca The association will host a Kelowna Stroke Recovery Education Day on Saturday, 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., at the Okanagan College Centre for Learning Atrium on the Kelowna campus, 1000 KLO Rd. With the theme being how to deal with life after a stroke, the event will offer insight to anyone

Pharmasave

whose life has been affected by a stroke—individuals, families, caregivers, medical practitioners.

Vernon resident Mary-Joan Giffin knows this firsthand. She has needed the help of the Stroke Recovery Association of B.C. more than once. Her first stroke hit her at age 45, followed by another one at age 49.

The stroke profoundly affected her ability to do

the things she once loved.

But her tenacious character kept her going.

A mother and grandmother, Giffin’s greatest victory came when she could play with her grandchildren again.

She says her support network continues to be vital to her recovery.

She will share her experiences at education day event.

Participants will learn: • Easy-to-apply tips and strategies for making life at home easier • Ways to prevent another stroke • Ways to find support and programs in the community Participants will also meet other stroke survivors and caregivers.

There is no registration fee to take part.

Fat Cat Festival fun for young and old T ez and I had the total pleasure of taking granddaughter Taylor to the fabulous Fat Cat Festivities last weekend— and perhaps we had even more fun than our three-and-a-half year old accomplice.

The wonderful thing about being a grandparent is you can spoil the heck out of the grandchild, and then send them home to mom and dad.

At the end of the day, (which for us was about eight hours of parades, games, junk food, etc.) it turned out that Taylor was less exhausted than Tez and I—a true sign that age is not on our side. The bonus is we have the pictures to prove how much fun we had in case our memory starts to fade as quickly as our energy level.

Regardless, it was a total blast and organizers did another tremen-

HODGE PODGE

Charlie Hodge dous job of creating a fun filled day.

That said, at the risk of perhaps upsetting a few folks, I must admit to being a little bit disappointed, or at least surprised, by the actual Fat Cat parade.

I am fully aware of the volunteer factor involved and just how difficult it can be to organize a large parade. However, three or four factors stick in my brain about the cavalcade of cars and clowns— clowns or the lack thereof being one of operative words.

My childhood recollection of great parades involved lots of floats, marching bands, and clowns. All three were in short supply at last Saturday’s parade.

Aside from Fat Cat and one or two stuffed mascots from businesses there were no clowns involved, short of one who sat in the driver’s seat of her car, plastered with advertising, and waved to the kids waiting longingly on the curb for some per-

sonal interaction.

The only marching band was the always reliable yet certainly dwindling in number Kelowna Marching Band, who led off the parade (thanks for being there folks) while the only other memorable music of note came from a float entered by Wentworth House of Music.

From a float perspective there were just two— the City of Kelowna and City of Penticton.

The remainder of the parade consisted of cars, trucks, vans or flatbeds boasting the names of businesses or corporations, all spewing out vehicle fumes for the crowd to consume. The commercialism heavily outweighed the community concept.

However, most confusing was the number of parade entrants on bicycles representing various groups or sports, few to none of which wore helmets.

I was shocked at how many youngsters and young adults were involved in the parade, often displaying their skills and tricks on bikes, sans some head protection.

Seems to me that not only was there an obvious liability factor at stake as well as a lack of logical messaging.

It is illegal to not wear a bike helmet and considering the target audience was children, the wrong or lack of safety examples by not demanding entrants wear helmets seemed ironic.

Everyone loves a parade, few more than me, but hopefully next year more floats and less commercialism might be nice.

And for goodness sakes, put a bucket on the bike riders. *** Several weeks back, I ranted about how a certain gas station was charging money for air for tires.

On the good news side, I have discovered a gas station that is wise enough to not charge you a loonie to inflate a tire.

The Chevron gas station at Highway 97 and Spall provides air free of charge. Thanks Spall Chevron for not holding my car tires hostage! *** If you are looking for some real fine wine fun this weekend, check out the Flip Flop on the Hill event hosted by the Fab Five Wineries in Kelowna.

The event runs Saturday from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m. at the East Kelowna Community Hall. Enjoy an evening of wine, music and food. Funds raised at the event go towards supporting the hall itself, and the Kelowna food bank.

Organizers are asking everyone to bring a non-perishable food donation.

Tickets are available at all five wineries (Camelot Vineyards, Vibrant Vine, House of Rose, SpierHead Vineyards, and The View) or at the door. The event sold out last year so I suggest you get your tickets early.

For more info go to www.kelownafabfive.ca/ archives/91 ••• And so the battle lines are drawn and the generals and foot soldiers are massing.

In the right corner

(closer to centre than right but certainly not left) Christy Clark (of Point Grey) and the defending (offending?) champion Liberal Party.

In the left corner, rookie challenger Carol Gordon (actually from Kelowna) of the NDP, and somewhere in limbo, with no real corner to rightfully claim but hailing from Penticton, Sean Upshaw of, well, the Conservative Party, at least for this month.

Let the brawl begin.

If Queen Christy had visions of simply ascending to the role of Kelowna-Westside MLA without a fight, those dreams are now dashed.

The question is will it actually be an election contest or just another waste of taxpayers’ time and money.

There are a variety of analogies plausible with this latest election scenario.

Some experts suggest if the public wanted to make a real statement and kick Clark to the curb then there should only be one opponent running against her.

You may believe that single opponent should be either the NDP or the Conservatives thereby not splitting the vote so that the Liberals climb up the middle.

Still others suggest the lone combatant should be an independent that many voters could then support as a protest vote and do so with a clear conscience.

Regardless, the sporting aspect of it all is that at least Clark is not getting a free ride without a bit of a fight.

I still maintain a very high profile independent could actually turn the trick and tip this province on its head big time.

However, that’s rather unlikely.

Of course, now that I have suggested it won’t happen, wait for it to actually take place.

Once again—only in B.C.

TRAVEL

TAKING the kayaks for a spin, from the beach on Deer Island, in Mazatlan.

STEVE HAGGERTY/CONTRIBUTOR

Mexico’s Mazatlan is getting its mojo back Anne Z. Cooke and Steve Haggerty CONTRIBUTORS

MAZATLAN, Mexico—The atmosphere in the Plaza de Toros, hot in the afternoon sun, crackled like popcorn, leaving visitors wondering just how long the crowd, growing larger by the minute, would sit patiently and wait. But as late arrivals searched for the last free seats, their concerns melted away.

Suntanned cowboys in big-brimmed hats spotted distant friends and waved. Vendors selling beer worked the aisles and ladies spread sunscreen on their children. Clean-shaven men, eyes hidden behind black Ray-bans, shook hands and strangers compared notes on the afternoon’s event, the Carnaval Week bull fight.

Weekly bull fights, a winter sport here in Mazatlan, on Mexico’s Pacific Coast, run from Christmas through April. But the bull fight held during Carnaval, featuring world-famous “rejoneador,” Pablo Hermosa de Mendoza, is the spectacle that packs the arena. Challenging the

bull, the charismatic Hermosa and his horse— he travels with six trained Lusitanos—are super stars, leaping, dancing, and spinning, melding the crowd into a cheering, gasping, groaning, clapping, handkerchief-waving mass.

While we waited for the first bull to enter the ring, I overhead a conversation behind me, a couple discussing their new house on the hill overlooking the beach. Another family moving to Mexico, I wondered? Immigrants heading south, instead of Mexicans coming north?

A favored beach retreat since the 1940s, Mazatlan has been shunned lately, tarred by the same brush that paints the country as crime-ridden and unsafe. But this couple seemed to be ignoring conventional wisdom. Why? I wondered.

“Are you living here permanently?” I asked, turning around to introduce myself. “Maybe you’ve met my friends. They live in that neighborhood, too, up on the hill.”

“Vacation for now, but permanently soon,” said Edward Klop, a company owner from British Columbia, smiling and leaning over to shake

hands. “Why? Because people here are so decent. Look at this crowd. I’ve never seen so much beer drunk by so many people who are so good natured,” he said. “You don’t find that very often.

You’ve heard of the Vancouver riot, after the Stanley Cup match? People got drunk, turned over cars, broke store windows, looted merchandise. That doesn’t happen here.”

“Mexicans are family people,” added Yvonne Klop. “They take their kids when they go out to eat or to a concert. The kind of restaurants we’d like to eat at in Vancouver, or San Francisco or New York, don’t allow kids. If there’s a bar or they serve alcohol, it’s illegal.”

Right about then, the crowd broke into cheers and Hermosa cantered into the ring mounted on a white Lusitano stallion. Whether you condone bullfighting, it’s impossible not to watch Hermosa as he gets down to business, teasing the bull until it charges, then wheeling away, leaning and turning, whirling and circling the ring with the bull in hot pursuit, staying just inches away from the bull’s horns. At the conclusion, Her-

mosa took a victory lap and the ladies tossed red roses. The fight committee awarded prizes and the crowd collected their things and filed peaceably away to the parking lot.

The Klops, when they do move, won’t be outliers, but part of a settled expat community, people that bring time, energy and expertise to the town. “There are more than 10,000 Americans and Canadians in Mazatlan,” said Francisco (Frank) Cordova, secretary of tourism for Sinaloa, speaking by phone from a meeting in Miami. “They rent apartments and some even own houses. Now, if it wasn’t safe, why would they be here?”

Drug cartel murders are a fact, he conceded. They are, he said, the federal government’s most pressing internal security issue. But most violence occurs far beyond the Golden Zone (the town’s designated tourism area), in the mountains or along the U.S. border.

“There isn’t any crime in the Golden Zone,

Spectacular South Africa

Mazatlan from A32 not that we’ve heard about,” agreed Paul Petty, a 12-year resident. “Nothing violent, no drive-bys, no school shootings like we had at home. We feel a lot safer than we did when we lived in Los Angeles.”

It could be the bounceback effect, but 2013 is shaping up as the town’s best year in a decade. According to Carlos Berdegue, President and CEO of Mazatlan’s four El Cid hotels, $6 million has been allocated for tourism from the U.S. and Canada, a promotion that’s already filling the town’s 12,000 beds. “Our group and convention programs have been very successful, the cruise lines are returning and the airlines are looking at creating more capacity,” he said.

The cruise industry, often the first to fold up and run when bad news hits the wires, agrees. After pulling out abruptly 18 months ago, Holland America and Norwegian Cruise Lines are returning to Mazatlan, adding 10 port stops to their Mexican Riviera route this year (in November and December) and 35 more during the 2014 season.

“We’ll be ready for them,” said Cordova.

“I’ve got a tourism budget of 400 million pesos (U.S. $32,541,000), half for the new cruise port and the rest for restoration and improvements in the historic city center.”

The cruise port and passenger terminal, a contemporary stunner designed for comfort— and for passenger security—has docking room for eight large passenger ships at once. Adjacent tour bus parking will allow passengers taking shore tours to board the buses without much walking. Travelers who’d rather stay on the ship or at the port will have shops, a restaurant, a tourist information center, and gift stores to explore.

Shore tours in Third World ports, often the bete noir of cruise passengers, haven’t been forgotten. “Funds are set aside to train tour guides to make sure every tour is unforgettable,” said Cordova. Cognizant of first impressions matter, the adjoining neighborhood has also gotten a facelift.

Seedy shacks are gone, cracked stucco was painted and vacant lots turned into gardens. “They’ve spent $3 million restoring the colonial buildings on the corridor between the port and the historic district,” said Berdegue.

Shore tours will visit several nearby 16th and

17th century-era villages, and the ancient pictographs on the shoreline.

But visitors who opt for a stroll through the historic center’s narrow streets and shaded plazas, dating to 1837, won’t be sorry.

It was these plazas where the first colonists gathered and where much of the time’s social and civic life played out. Still popular gathering places, this is where people meet to walk, talk, work, eat out

Machado, the Cathedral, the elegantly restored Angel Peralta Opera House and the art museum.

The Central Market, humming from early morning to late afternoon, is where housewives shop for food, teenagers for cheap purses and jewelry and travelers take photos.

Covering a city block, the two-story iron structure (think late Victorian),

houses hundreds of stalls selling fruits of every color and shape, vegetables, nuts, bread, tortillas, cheeses, woven hats, souvenirs, fish, shrimp, chickens (whole and butchered), pigs (everything but the squeal), beef ribs, cakes, pies, cookies, puddings and candy, not to mention soap, brooms, buckets and dish towels.

If the past is prologue,

the outcome is already written. Some cruise passengers will make a beeline for the beach, sample real Mexican cuisine at Pancho’s and take the sightseeing boat to Deer Island. On the second trip they’ll dine by candlelight at Pedro & Lola’s, sit on the Plaza Machado, meet expats from home and play golf. On the third visit, they’ll check out the bullfights.

After that, who knows?

Kia reaches for the top Jim Robinson CONTRIBUTOR

JIM ROBINSON/CONTRIBUTOR

STRIKING a pose in front of the house that was the setting for Alfred Hitchcock’s landmark thriller, The Birds, the 2014 Cadenza is Kia’s first foray into the full-size near luxury sedan market.

0% 84 FOR UP TO

MONTHS ON SELECT MODELS◊

PLUS UP TO

$1,500

With 47 new or refreshed vehicles coming by 2017, it was inevitable Kia would take another step up the product ladder which it has done with the 2014 Cadenza.

The Cadenza is considered a “near luxury” sedan with a similar size and a host of features found in the $50,000 plus bracket like the Mercedes E-Class or Audi A6.

In fact, the Cadenza starts at $37,795 for the “Base” model and $44,995 for the Premium.

Kia more sensibly sees the Cadenza as going up against Acura TL, Nissan Maxima, Lincoln MKZ and Buick LaCrosse. But Kia had a big chart at the Napa press preview showing its competitors don’t have all the available extras as the Cadenza, which is something I’m sure Kia sales people will be pointing out to potential buy-

ers.

I suspect the Premium will be the top seller because of what it offers for the price, but I’ll get to that a little lower down.

The Cadenza is not a new car but new to Canada and will be sold as Kia’s flagship model. It is known as the K7 in Korea sold alongside the K9 which is Kia’s flagship over there.

The Cadenza is considered a full-size sedan and it is in every sense of the word, especially the back seat. During our drive time in San Francisco and the Napa Valley, I made a point of getting in the back and I had more than enough legroom.

Later while driving, I had to stop smartly and that caused my travel bag to slide forward off the back seat and onto the floor. It’s a big bag and normally it gets wedged

Predictable precision from Cadenza Kia from B1 between the front seat back and the rear cushion. In this case, it plopped onto the floor and looked rather lonely with all the room around it.

Kia/Hyundai is the only automaker to produce its own steel and in the Cadenza, highstrength steel makes up 60 per cent of the chassis.

Kia said at the Cadenza press launch this ensures only the highest quality steel is used in the Cadenza’s construction.

There is one engine, Kia’s new 3.3-litre direct injection V6 producing 293 hp and 255 lb/ ft of torque driving the front wheels through a six-speed automatic trans-

mission featuring paddle shifters on the steering wheel.

Using regular gasoline, fuel consumption is rated at 11.2/7.4L/100 km city/highway.

One thing that caused some discussion among autowriters present for the press launch in the Napa Valley of California was the steering.

My Quebec co-driver found it “vague” while Graeme Fletcher of Motoring TV called it one of the best he’d driven.

I did note that FlexSteer (that offers three response modes in the latest Kia offerings) was not on the Cadenza. I was told that’s because it was an older model and it could not be refitted with FlexSteer.

So, the only thing to do was find out for myself.

I know the roads in Napa fairly well and one of those is the Silverado Trail that runs north-south beside the Napa River.

Twisting and turning, but with pavement as smooth as glass, you can really put any vehicle through its paces, which I did.

Bottom line was the steering was precise and predictable with a hint of on-centre lightness which one expects from electric power steering. The feel of the Cadenza steering fits the nature of the car as buyers in this segment expect comfort in a sedan not the input effort one needs in a sportscar.

THE 2014 Cadenza will be Kia’s flagship model in Canada.

JIM ROBINSON/CONTRIBUTOR

Standard equipment is extensive, the partial list includes: rear parking sensors, rear camera, multimedia interface Navigation, AM/FM/CD/ AUX/USB, SiriusXM satellite radio, Bluetooth wireless technology, Infinity 12-speaker audio system, chrome outside door handles, solar glass, projection headlights, front fog lights, LED daytime running lights and positioning lights, LED light bar tail lights, power heated body coloured outside mirrors, power folding outside mirrors with LED side repeaters, front and rear splash guard, dot matrix LCD cluster and trip computer.

But it was with the Premium that the Kia blurs with line between “near luxury” and the real thing.

This car is loaded.

Again, just a partial list of goodies includes: panoramic sunroof, HID headlamps with adaptive front lighting (AFLS), triple stage cooled/ventilated driver’s seat, dual stage rear heated seats, power tilt and telescopic steering wheel, memory seats, memory outside mirrors, memory steering column, driver’s seat knee extension, heated steering wheel, wiper deicer, power rear window curtain, Supervision TFT LCD instrument cluster, premium Nappa leather seats, 19-inch alloy wheels, smart cruise control, blind spot detection, Lane Departure Warning System and Electric Park-

POWER for the 2014 Cadenza is a new 3.3-litre quad cam V6 producing 293 hp and

255 lb/ft of torque driving the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. ing Brake (EPB).

One of the things that caught everyone’s attention is the use of “hydrophobic” glass on the front side windows. They are treated with a special, permanent coating that repels water and dirt.

And you like to golf, you can take a foursome and their bags in the 451-litre trunk.

Suspension is MacStruts at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear.

Part of the suspension comprises “dynamic dampers” that automatically soften when cruising but stiffen when more handling performance is wanted.

I’m not a fan of adaptive cruise control but many are, especially at the luxury level. On the Ca-

denza speed can be set between 30-180 km/h.

I feel the same about lane departure systems because I find the bell/ chime/whatever is annoying and distracting plus it adds to the stress level in the middle of a critical situation. Luckily, it can be turned off by a button located to the left of the steering wheel.

Ten, even five years ago, there was a big gap between the perception of Kia and reality of Kia. By that I mean people used to think of Kias as “cheap and cheerful” transportation. But with each new product, Canadians continue to be won over by the styling that is the gateway to the built quality and content.

The Cadenza marks new territory for Kia and

it is very much the new boy on the near luxury block.

But based on what we’ve seen so far, Kia will probably be one of the big boys on the block before very long.

Reveal: Cambridge-built Corolla does Canada proud Jim Robinson

STK#06-11-2013

TMMC started in Cambridge with about 1,000 people.

“Today we are a proud company of more than 7,000, but we still think of ourselves as a small community of passionate and dedicated team members who take great pride in the exceptional vehicles we manufacture.”

He also noted that with the three plants TMMC operates in Cambridge and Woodstock, the company has produced more than 500,000 cars and trucks in 2012, making it the second largest produ-

cer of Toyota/Lexus products in the world.

The 2014 Corolla marks the 11th generation and, besides new styling, features a new engine and transmission choices plus upgrades that include LED headlamps as standard, a new audio system with steering wheel audio controls and Bluetooth capability and additional airbags for even better safety.

There will be four models: CE, LE, sporty S and the new Eco that Toyota claims will offer the highest fuel efficiency

With Hollywood hoopla and a live webcast, Toyota Canada revealed the 2014 Corolla sedan that will be built in Canada for North America.

Staged June 7 at the Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa, Toyota announced production will be based in the Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada (TMMC) plant in Cambridge, Ont. TMMC has been producing Corollas since the first one, a Mica Blue sedan, rolled off the assembly line on November 30, 1988. To date, 1.3 million Corollas have been sold in Canada and it is the most massed produced car in history with more than 40 million and counting.

To date, TMMC has produced more than five million vehicles. The milestones of the two millionth (2004), three millionth (2007), and four millionth (2010) vehicles assembled at TMMC were all Corollas.

More remarkable is the fact that 80 per cent of the Corollas sold in CanJIM ROBINSON/CONTRIBUTOR ada are still on the road.

BRIAN KRINOCK, president of Toyota Motor ManuSeiji Ichii, president facturing Canada (TMMC) said the plant has already and CEO, Toyota Canada Inc., noted that for years built more than 1.3 Corollas for the Canadian market of the Corolla has been the which 80 per cent are still on the road. “rational choice” but now of the Central and South with fresh new styling and Okanagan / Similkameen improved handling the Corolla will be “easy to love.”

He added tongue-incheek, “we’ll offer everything except the colour beige.”

I’m glad I got to drive the Audi R8 e-tron before it passes into the stuff of legends.

Only a handful will ever experience what was, for me, the fastest car I have ever personally driven.

I’m calling this a “last drive” because, after spending untold millions of development dollars, Audi has decided not to put its super sportscar into production because it could not make a business case for the asking price, rumoured to have been around $1 million.

That’s a tough sell when the identical looking “everyday” R8 sitting beside it on the Audi showroom floor starts at $134,200.

And while they look the same, only six parts from the R8 were used on the R8 e-tron.

Imagine going from 0-100 km in 4.2 seconds thanks to 3,629 lb/ft (yes 3,629 lb/ft) of torque and all without the bellow of a huge, fuel devouring gasoline engine.

In fact, it is so silent in operation, Audi engineers added two external speakers to give out an engine-like sound because development drivers felt more comfortable that way.

Thanks to the two 140 kW (280 kW combined) electric motors driving the rear wheels, full torque is available within a microsecond of hitting the go pedal.

There is only one speed, but with all that torque who needs more?

Each motor directly drives one rear wheel.

The two motors (each the size of a pumpkin) jointly produce 380 hp and 604.8 lb/ft of torque.

With its 6-1 ratio gearing that results in the stunning torque figure.

Speed is limited to 200 km/h and there are two reasons for this.

The e-tron runs on H-rated tires with a design top speed limit of 210/ km/h. The other reason is duration driving at the 250 km/h top speed would sap the battery in 20 minutes.

The T-shaped battery pack is so big (530 cells) it takes up the area where the V10 engine is on the ordinary R8 as well as extending forward as a central spine that also adds to

the Eco. Also new on the LE, S and Eco is a new Con/tinuously Variable Transmission CVT) that Toyota calls the CVTi-S (I for inptelligent, S for shift) that will have a feel similar to a ytraditional hydraulic auto)matic transmission. e The CVTi-S is Toyota’s first pulley-style -CVT offered in North -American and “will proovide a more linear connection between pedal effort and acceleration feel compared to previous CVT designs,” The new Corolla’s suspension uses a Macpherson strut design for the front with a new, more rigid control arm design.

A rear torsion beam arrangement is used for the rear.

Both suspension layouts have been designed to take advantage of the additional body rigidity to provide improved handling responses and steer-

ing control.

While the spring rates on Corolla have been optimized for ride comfort, the S-model features unique coil, damper, and bushing tuning to help offer a sportier driving characteristic.

Probably the most noticeable change is in the styling that owes much to the Corolla Furia Concept seen in January at the Detroit Auto Show.

While the 2014 model is 99 mm (3.9 in) longer, it looks more compact thanks to the way the body tapers front and rear and focuses the eyes on the wheel arches.

Helping the overall impression of being more taut in appearance is the switch to narrower LED headlights.

The Corolla is the first compact sedan to offer LED headlights.

Fuel economy is still being finalized as is pricing, both of which will be released by the end of the summer.

Audi found ways to save weight

CANADIAN autowriters were given the rare, and last, chance to drive the Audi R8 e-tron which showed the idea of an electric super sportscar is not a wish but a reality.

chassis rigidity.

Range is listed at 215 km which depends on how you drive. There are four ways of energy recuperation such as coasting or using the brakes, but when the system detects only 15 per cent of charge remains, it automatically defaults to a limp-home mode.

Using a 230-volt recharge station it would take 12-14 hours to top up the battery.

Weight saving and using new-tech materials were part of the design syllabus.

The frame is partially forged aluminum and carbon fibre. Most of the body panels are carbon fibre. The brakes are ceramic. Instead of a steel stabilizer bar, the R8 e-tron uses a hollow carbon fibre tube. The springs are carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP). Each of these springs is 40 per cent lighter than steel.

An interesting side note was the e-tron was tested at the Nurburgring and was just 8 seconds shy of the pace set by an all-out V10 R8. On the V10 the brakes would be glowing red-hot. But on the e-tron, the temperature at the rotor face was about 50 Celsius.

The wheels on the e-tron have shrouds between the spokes that close at speed above 50 km/h to lessen air drag.

Instead of a rearview mirror, there is a rear-facing camera on the carbon fibre panel that replaces the window. It shows what’s behind on a GPSsized screen where the rearview normally would be placed.

This obsessive pursuit of weight saving results in the balance of 42 per cent front, 58 per cent rear – in other words just about perfect.

Getting into the cockpit of the e-tron, the first thing you notice is its similarity to the everyday R8, with no weird dials or

switches.

You can choose one of three driving modes – Efficiency, Auto, Dynamic – by twisting the normal Audi Connect knob and toggling through to the mode desired.

We drove the e-tron on a closed course on the tarmac of the famed, but now closed, Templehof airport in the heart of Berlin.

The first runs were in Efficiency to get used to the course with F1-style red-and-white curbs leadning to the apex cones. e Then it was time to get -serious. g First was in Auto with tthe stability control on. sBlasting on the line I was ehitting 140 km/h in less ythe length of a football field.

Clipping the first curb -and then another, I whisdtled by the first apex with pzero rubber squeal with lots of brake feedback. d Next was Auto with -the ESP off and here I exnpected the rear to come around a bit but it didn’t.

This is because the two electric motors acetually can independently nspeed up or slow down to produce torque vectoring.

What I liked was the Audi personnel didn’t t try to tell you what to do ebut just let us loose with a simple “enjoy”. t I did.

But more importantly, the R8 e-tron proves the concept of an electric sportscar is not just possible but inevitable.

Classics against cancer car show

SPRING SUPER SALE SPRING SUPER SALE

Way back in 1988 a group of local car enthusiasts began hosting the Classics Against Cancer Car Show in Georgetown.

Local businessman, Neil Young got together with fellow enthusiasts and volunteers with the local cancer society planned a classical concert and garden party but Young came up with the idea of a classic car show instead.

Over the last 26 years this annual event has become one of the premier, juried classic auto shows in Ontario.

It is always held on Fathers Day (June 16 this year) in Cedervale Park in downtown Georgetown.

This beautiful venue is located on the corner of Main Street and Maple Avenue. Not only will visitors see between 300 and 400 classic (and late model cars in the Lowered Intentions section) but there will be many venders, a kids area with fun things to do and of course lots of good food to enjoy.

Every year McDonalds supplies a truck with free coffee. On stage will be TNT, well know DJ to play 50’s and 60’s music and much more of your favourite rock and roll “classic” music.

The last few years the funds have benefited the Childhood Cancer Campaign. This amazing event has raised close to half a million dollars for various cancer causes.

Visitors can expect to see everything from antique, turn of the 20th century to muscle cars of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s as well as European and British cars.

Not only do the many cars come from all over but if you bring your car you can expect some 4000 people to visit the event.

No event of this magnitude would be the great success it always is without the many volunteers; this year we welcome well known local businessman, Chris Crane as the new chairman with an organizing committee and dozens of volunteers from many local service clubs including; The Rotary Club, Lions, Royal Canadian Legion, Optimist Club, Georgetown Radio Club, Computer Club and Air Cadets.

He Only Takes The Best

God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be.

So He put His arms around him and whispered, "Come with Me." With tear-filled eyes we watched him suffer and fade away.

Although we loved him deeply, we could not make him stay.

A golden heart stopped beating, hard-working hands put to rest.

God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

You are sadly missed & will forever be in our hearts.

Your loving family & friends

Together

It is with deep sadness that we anounce that David Robert Potts passed away as a result of a motor vehicle accident on Saturday, May 4th, 2013. Dave is loved and missed by all and we welcome anyone who knew him to attend ‘Celebration of Life’ in his memory.

Please join us at the Kelowna Community Theatre on Monday, June 17th, 2013 from 2:00 - 4:30pm as we remember a remarkable young man who left us too soon.

High hopes for Prairie condo buyer interest rejuvenated coast to coast real estate boom ‘‘ ▼ RECREATION PROPERTY

Optimism is a continual factor in any real estate market.

The Okanagan has endured some difficult adjustments since the peak boom years in 2007 and 2008, but there are signs of renewed sales activity.

And one area where that optimism is being generated is recreation property sales.

Mark Walker, who specializes in rec property sales for Royal LePage in Kelowna, says the market has bounced back over the last two years, after hitting rock bottom in 2009 and 2010.

“What we’re seeing now is about a 25 per cent drop of the peak pricing of

2007 and 2008, which is giving people incentive to take a look at the Kelowna market for property investment,” Walker said.

He said the boom era of flippers buying new condo properties and selling them on completion are long gone.

“What we’re seeing now is people in Alberta and now even Saskatchewan coming our way who want to make a serious investment in a property they can rent out, with the idea of having a place to move to one day,” Walker said.

“They are holding on to it as a family legacy property for down the road, not to flip it.”

WHAT WE’RE SEEING NOW IS ABOUT A 25 PER CENT DROP OF THE PEAK PRICING OF 2007 AND 2008, WHICH IS GIVING BUYERS INCENTIVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE KELOWNA MARKET FOR PROPERTY INVESTMENT.

Walker said the condo market inventory has stabilized at this point, but

the rec property sales figures are up 50 per cent over three years ago.

“We have seen condo sale increases in 2011 and again in 2012,” Walker said.

Walker said Kelowna embraced the condo market to a far greater degree than did Penticton or Vernon, as the attraction of Okanagan Lake and the region’s lifestyle will always be a drawing card for out-of-town buyers.

“Looking into a crystal ball in terms of where the market is headed is anyone’s guess, but there is great value in rec property real estate right now, and buyers are taking note of that,” Walker said.

He feels investors are increasingly more educated about local market conditions, and property developers are doing a better job of marketing their properties to potential buyers.

But Walker agrees that property prices in general dropping is having an impact, causing a readjustment for both buyers and sellers.

“What we’re starting to see more of now is acreages in southeast Kelowna moving, upper end homes moving, lakefront properties moving,” he said.

“Three years ago, none of that was happening.”

fore making an offer.

They did not have a dishwasher so it was not unusual for dishes to be piled up in the sink. The dog slept under the bed and must have had some accidents that they were not aware of. They tried to remove the stain when they moved out and noticed it for the first time, but were not able to get the stain out.

This case was decided in favour of the seller, who were long-standing members of the community with no apparent intent to move away and unload a home with problems.

The sellers’ explanations denied the buyers any damages.

The lesson is that buyers must be very careful to do their own due diligence when looking over a property—before making any offer. Test all windows, looking behind pictures, under rugs and lifting anything off the counters. Test the appliances, electrical outlets and faucets as well.

And best of all, have a home inspection done. Being prepared before you make an offer will prevent unwanted surprises after the deal is closed.

T

he Central Okanagan underwent a busy month for sales in May, reflecting a 10.80 per cent over all increase from the previous year.

This time last year, there were 435 sales transactions compared to this year at 482. Residential sales were up 28.57 per cent with 261 properties sold compared to 203 listings sold in 2012.

Unfortunately, the REAL ESTATE condominium market was RUNDOWN not so fortunate, still a saturated market, only 71 units sold in May down from 84, that’s reflecting a decrease of 15.48 Ceiwen per cent. Residential lots Morgan faced a similar situation as single family homes, 23 lots were sold last month, revealing a substantial increase from 2012 reflecting 35.29 per cent.

Sales from coast to coast are up as well in May compared to April, reflecting an increase of 1.1 per cent. The Teranet-National Bank Composite House Price Index suggested Canada’s housing market finally has regained some strength after government’s move to tighten mortgage lending rules back in July 2012.

Overall sales for 2013 in the Central Okanagan is resembling 2012 year-to-date, up only 2.89 in sales transactions, but after a sluggish start to this year, perhaps busier May sales in the Okanagan may continue to pickup momentum and have a strong finish.

Listings are down 10.34 per cent across the board and when compared to last month, new listings experienced a decrease of 11.79 per cent.

The Central Okanagan’s inventory is remaining stable, with fewer listings coming onto the market, seller’s have an opportunity to take advantage the situation of having less competition, price right and sell right.

In May, 451 single family properties came onto the market, that’s a decrease of 14.58 per cent when compared to 2012’s number of 528.

Condominium listings were down as well by 14.94 per cent in the Central Okanagan, only 222 new listings come onto the market last month.

Residential sales are looking at a positive increase, but the realty of these sales is that the average sale price has decreased from last year by 7.09 per cent as well as condominiums, down 6.36 per cent.

Few are suggesting that the rush in sales in May is due to the fact that home buyers received a warning that mortgage rates are on the climb, however some individuals are saying or perhaps hoping that Mays hot sales will be the start to economy come-back – time and statistics tell all.

Ceinwen Morgan has worked in the Kelowna real estate industry for the past five years.
